Besides his internet barely working, The Buccaneers’ new quarterback Tom Brady seems to have a much bigger issue with renting Derek Jeter’s massive Tampa mansion: local dingalings on boats.
While speaking to Howard Stern on Sirius XM on Wednesday, Brady said he didn’t realize his new backyard was so exposed, and that he isn't a fan of people pulling their boats up to the back of his waterfront home on Davis Islands.
"I forgot people could drive up to your house," said Brady to Stern. "Here they can pull right up to the back of the house. Derek did a pretty good job of screening it. I am a little bit of an introvert. I feel like my house is my place I can relax. When you are outside the house, you understand everything with being me... in the backyard there's a lot of boats that have pulled up and people at the front."
Clearly, Bucs fans are obviously excited to have Brady in town, and as annoying as the onlookers may be, the four time Super Bowl MVP says he’s not going anywhere any time soon.
"I am going to stay here for a while," said Brady on his new 30,0000 square-foot pad. "I had to get here on really short notice. [Jeter’s] been a friend of mine, so we talked and it all worked out. Perfect for me here to get started here."
