The New England Patriots denied a report by ESPN claiming that the team was upset with the way star quarterback Tom Brady was taking care of his injured knee, USA Today says. “This unsubstantiated report does not represent the team’s views whatsoever. We have supported Tom Brady one hundred percent from day one of this process and will continue to do so,” the Patriots said in a statement. The team added that it had issued a statement of support for Brady, but that the sports network did not mention that in its report.
