Tom Brady is undoubtedly the greatest player to ever suit up for the New England Patriots, but some fans are labeling him a traitor this Friday.

During this Thursday's episode of "The Dan Patrick Show," Seattle Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald revealed that he got some advice before facing the Patriots in Super Bowl LX. That conversation must have went well considering the Seahawks cruised to a 29-13 win over the Patriots.

Interestingly enough, Macdonald wouldn't say who gave him a few pointers because it could be viewed as a conflict of interest.

"John Harbaugh and I talked," Macdonald said. "He was great. Probably can't mention one guy that really helped us out that had some conflict of interest."

Most Patriots fans are convinced Brady was the one who helped out Macdonald and the Seahawks.

"If this doesn't [expletive] you off as a Patriots fan you are dead on this inside," Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy said. "I'm not going to say who they are saying gave a ton of advice to the Seahawks before the Super Bowl but the guy has a statue in front of our stadium. What a joke."

"There is quite literally nothing Tom Brady could do that would offset the 6 Super Bowls he gave us," one fan said. "But man is he doing his best to slowly chip away."

"It was Brady and it's disgusting how obvious it is," a second fan wrote. "I cannot believe how far Tom has fallen. I heard a rumor a while back he refused to talked to Drake about The McDaniels offense in the off season of '25 That is just a rumor and I have no creditable source for it. Enough is enough though. Tom is now the villain."

"We were attacked for calling Tom Brady a traitor btw," another fan commented. "He is the GOAT, but, he has been really weird since leaving."

Why would Brady help out the Seahawks?

Although it hasn't been confirmed that Brady gave the Seahawks an assist, there's a connection between him and Seattle's staff.

Brady, a minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders, reportedly pushed them to hire Seahawks offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak as their head coach. Maybe, just maybe, he wanted to see what the offensive guru could do against Mike Vrabel's defense.

At the end of the day though, this is all just speculation. There's a chance Macdonald didn't even talk to Brady before the Super Bowl.
