Did Tom Brady Call In to Boston Radio Show Under Alias, Brag About Himself?

"Matt from San Diego," huh?

Some believe this caller on a New England radio show is actually the athlete he talked about: Patriots quarterback Tom Brady.

On Wednesday, CBS Boston’s Toucher and Rich took a call from a guy named Matt, who defended TB-12 after the hosts were razzing him about his over-the-top relationship with receiver Julian Edelman.

Matt said he was originally from San Diego—Brady was born in California—but has been in New England as a fan for over 20 years.

Here’s the meat of the caller’s take:

"

[I]t occurs to me that being true New England guys, you have to have something to complain about. So, you got three GOATs on the same team: Belichick, Brady, and Gronk. You got the Red Sox in first place. So, all that leaves you to go to is the fact that the man’s the greatest of all time, he’s got a good relationship with his receiver, and his wife’s Gisele Bundchen. I just think it’s very indicative of New England sports fans. Gotta have something to complain about.

"

Listen to it here:

At first, Matt really does sound like Brady. But as the call continues, he just sounds like a regular Patriots fan. Toward the end, especially when he laughs, he again sounds similar to the four-time Super Bowl champion.

Toucher and Rich investigated:

According to their sources, some people “close to” Brady believe it’s him:

Even if it wasn't Brady, there is another suspect:

In a radio interview with Westwood One's Jim Gray (h/t For The Win's Charlotte Wilder), Brady denied making the call.

"And you get me exclusively, can you believe that … No, there’s none of me — like I said, you’re the only one I’m talking to,” Brady told Gray during his weekly spot.

Let's see if this ends RadioGate once and for all.
