7 Things Tom Brady Loves About Tampa After Living in Boston
Florida natives aren’t always so crazy about those who move here from the north. But when Tom Brady joined the Bucs, this was one transplant they learned to love. And Tom Brady loves Florida right back. Winning the Super Bowl in his first season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers probably helped. But in a rare sit down interview, Tom told Channel 8 that there are lots of reasons he and the family have been happy with the move to Tampa Bay.
He doesn’t get bugged as much…
ShareTom says Boston is "sports centric." In Tampa, we love our sports, but we have a life... he says Tampa residents are less focused on him and where he's at. With everything there is to do here, people aren't as obsessed with the athletes who live in Tampa Bay.
Recreation
ShareTom loves seeing people out enjoying life outside boating, jogging, kayaking or walking the dog.
Life on the water…
ShareNot that he couldn't afford it before, but Tom said he never got to live on the water living in the northeast.
Location, location, location.
ShareBeing close to Orlando has been a plus for the family. Tom says the kids love Disney World. And it's not just the theme parks...
The Beaches
ShareTom loves taking the family over to Clearwater. He says Tampa is the perfect location between Orlando and the beaches.
The Match: Champions For Charity
ShareNo surprise here - Tom loves being able to hit the links in January, February and March.
The weather…
ShareThe obvious. Living in Boston can be grueling with those long harsh winters. Tom says he loves how the weather impacts your day. He loves to take the dogs out for a walk at night.
