When will Tom Brady catch a break?

Tom Brady was asked at some conference thing on Monday if he thought he was appreciated by the New England Patriots. First of all, what a dumb ass question. Second, this was his response:

Ready, get set, feel sorry for Tom Brady? ZERO CHANCE.​ IDGAF if the Patriots made Brady play in a dress or something. No amount of anything could make me feel sorry for you. Life isn't tough for you, my friend. Go eat some kale 

buzz-worthy-

• NSYNC REUNITED TODAY. I cried. I did. They got their star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame today, and the fact that I was not there officially goes down as one of the biggest mistakes of my entire life.
• Terence Newman is old af. The Minnesota Vikings cornerback will return for his 16th season, and is officially the oldest defensive player in the NFL (he'll turn 40 in September). 
• The "Los Angeles" Chargers say goodbye to Antonio Gates. After telling him they weren't bringing him back, Gates decides he still wants to play - elsewhere. "Antonio’s contributions to our organization over the past 15 years cannot be overstated, and I want to thank him for what he has meant throughout his career to our family, his teammates, our staff and Chargers fans everywhere." - Dean Spanos, on Monday. No one wants to play in that shady ass soccer stadium anyways, I get it.
• The Denver Broncos aren't giving up on Paxton Lynch even though he's terrible. "“We are not kicking him to the curb,’’ John Elway said on Monday. 
• Reggie Wayne will work with Indianapolis Colts wide receivers as a volunteer coach, alongside their WRs coach. He'll also be inducted into the Ring of Honor this season, where I'm sure they'll put his name right next to their participation banner.
• The Bucs have never been on Twitter before, and are taking a tweet seriously from a fan who said they want to shoot their GM. I couldn't type this without laughing. This might be one of the most tame things I've seen on Twitter. The fan has since deleted the tweet (of course) and said he got caught up in the moment. K
• ESPN is offering Jason Witten over $4 million per year which is almost four times as much as he'd make if he continued to play for the Dallas Cowboys, which is what Jason Garrett wants. ESPN wants Witten to do Monday Night Football, and there's apparently another network in the mix as well.
• Donald Penn may or may not be under investigation for domestic violence after this past weekend when the police were called to his house after an "altercation" with his wife. A TMZ report, which may or may not be true, claims he poured a drink on her, slapped her butt, and grabbed her by the wrist. Penn wasn't arrested, and both parties claim, which may or may not be true, that there was no physical altercation, that it was just verbal. K
• The Buffalo Bills want to see how Kelvin Benjamin does in their offense before offering him a giant contract, which is probably a good idea. He could get hurt again.
• Reuben Foster's hearing will be delayed so that the DA can review video evidence. "Additional evidence was provided to the People that warrants further investigation so that we can take this case to a just result." K

What I'm reading today-

• Shaquem Griffin's NFL story begins now (SI)
• How the Browns kept No. 1 pick a secret (SI)
• Panthers' 4th-rounder Ian Thomas' upside will surprise, but his backstory will amaze (Charlotte Observer) 

Last word-

*NSYNC fans are literally booing BSB and Britney Spears at the Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony. We’re never gonna grow up.
