The most anticipated sports date of the year was revealed by the National Football League earlier this week when the league announced Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will travel to Foxborough to face his former team, the New England Patriots, on the first Sunday in October. Brady's dad says he "started salivating" when he saw the schedule. Tom Brady Sr. told 98.5 The Sports Hub on Thursday that he was very excited to see his son return to play against the Patriots and is expecting a victory."I started salivating when I saw that we’re playing the Patriots in the fourth game of the season, and we’re coming up here to make our record 4-0," he told Zolak and Bertrand. Brady's dad added he expected to "beat the Patriots rather handily."The seven-time Super Bowl champion will be returning to Gillette Stadium for the first time since he bolted for the Buccaneers last offseason. Brady won six of those Super Bowl titles with the Patriots as starting quarterback over 19 seasons. Brady Sr. told the station he expects the fans will give his son a warm welcome but predicted it won’t last long.
