Tom Brady's Need to Check in on Antonio Brown Makes No Sense

Has anybody else been thoroughly surprised by the bromance that Tom Brady and Antonio Brown have developed after the duo's short-lived stint together in New England?

Just days after the shocking ESPN report which claimed that Brady and Brown have kept in consistent contact and have discussed a potential reunion this offseason, the latter tweeted out his support for the former, who is looking to turn his NFL career around.

At this rate, TB12 almost feels a need to keep tabs on Brown, and we seriously have zero clue as to why that's the case.

You might counter that opinion by saying that Brady's tweet was nothing more than an ex-teammate sending some love and support to a friend striving to right his wrongs, but that's just a lazy analysis.

When the Patriots first acquired Brown, it was reported that the 42-year-old quarterback offered him a room in his home to help him settle in. Since New England divorced itself from the Central Michigan product, he and Brady have often, and very cryptically at that, interacted on social media.

It's no accident here, folks. The six-time Super Bowl champion feels compelled to check in on Brown from time to time. When you consider that Mr. Big Chest spent less than two weeks (11 days) in Foxborough, it is all just so mystifying.
