Tampa Mayor Jane Castor Welcomes Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski With Humorous Letter
Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski have made the move to Tampa Bay, and have injected new life into the Buccaneers franchise. TB12 has already been kicked out of a city park and has walked into a stranger's home, becoming a true "Florida Man" in record time.
The mayor of Tampa, Jane Castor, decided to get in on the fun and welcome the former Patriots duo to town with a comically endearing letter. Some of the jokes are a bit cheesy, but it is still a fun gesture during such tough times in the nation.
“Thanks again for choosing the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and, in turn, our beloved city,” @CityofTampa mayor Jane Castor writes in an open letter to @TomBrady and @RobGronkowski. pic.twitter.com/q2jtz5nyXx

Castor apologizes for Brady getting booted from the public park, and pitches the city's nightlife scene to Gronk once the period of social distancing has passed. Castor even tells Brady they can call it "Tampa Brady" if he brings the city a Super Bowl.
(So much for "Tompa Bay," eh?)

Fans across the Tampa-St. Petersburg region are surely ecstatic over their team's big additions, and it is fun to see the mayor join in on the fun. Brady and Gronk will put Buccaneers football back on the map no matter how the 2020 season goes, and the two should have some wild Florida adventures once we are all allowed to go outside and explore again.
