Tom Brady now has something in common with Mike Ditka.
Despite being close to presumptive presidential nominee Donald Trump, the Patriots quarterback will not appear at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland later this month, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.
That Brady’s steering clear of a potentially polarizing stance is nothing new — he’s practically Teflon when it comes to anything the least bit controversial. But he has said in the past he and Trump are friends, though he was careful to keep the remarks at arm’s length.
Ditka was mooted as a possible convention speaker, but declined Trump’s invitation last week while saying the party “has its head up its a--.”
And yes, we said mooted. Which rhymes with something else Ditka has done while mic’d up.
