It’s been a couple of years since Tom Brady walked away from the NFL for good.
He retired as arguably the greatest player of all time, and by the time he was done playing, even his biggest critics had no choice but to tip their hats to him.
Nonetheless, as beloved, admired, and respected as he is by most fans, others will hold a grudge against him and have zero sympathy for him until the end of the time.
Needless to say, that includes fans in St. Louis, as they still haven’t gotten over the Spygate scandal, and chances are they never will.
That’s why, when he was out there presenting the UFL Championship game MVP at the Dome in St. Louis, all people could hear were loud boos (via St. Louis Chatter).

Brady and the Patriots were tangled up in one of the biggest controversies and questionable schemes in NFL and professional sports history.
They reportedly taped opposing coaches’ signals from their own sideline, which was in violation of the league’s policy.
However, it was reportedly determined that the Patriots taped the Rams’ coaches ahead of Super Bowl XXXVI before beating them 20-17.
Whether that ended up having a direct effect on the outcome of the game was never known, but the fans will never give them the benefit of the doubt.
