Matt Cassel Recalls Patriots Prank War That Made Tom Brady Pee On His Practice Jersey
Matt Cassel regrets his decision to get in prank war with quarterback Tom Brady. He did that during his second season in the NFL, and things didn’t turn well for him.
“I was coming in and a prank war started where he knocked my trey out of my hand, he put his foot up against the door, I poured some protein shake in his shoes, maybe some flexi-hot into his underwear,” Cassel said. “He dumped a trash can on my car and then decided to pee on my practice jersey, and then he asked me to forgive him and call him Captain Longshanks.
“So I was like, ‘No I’m not doing that, I’m going to do something even worse to you,’ and by the time we came in for practice, I had three tires in front of my locker, the other one was hidden, you know the old ‘put in on the blocks,'” he said. “The old adage goes back to don’t mess with people that have more money than you do.”
Prank wars reach a breaking point, and one side waves the white flag. This usually happens before someone gets hurt, or in a team setting, before it becomes a huge distraction distraction. We can understand the reasons Cassel had to give up after Brady’s brutal series of pranks, but that didn’t stop the offensive lineman from taking things to the point where head coach Bill Belichick had to get involved.
“I was done, I wiped my hands with it and said, ‘I give,'” Cassel said. “The lineman decided to fill his car up with (foam) peanuts, put confetti in his air conditioning unit, and at that point, Bill had to step in and say, ‘Look, guys, this isn’t World War 4, okay. We can’t have you guys going around hurting somebody or killing somebody.'”
“At the end of the day I did have to go home with my buddy for at least four days before he would give me back my other tire,” Cassel said.
Well, Brady is pretty serious about anything, and this prank war is nothing in comparison to his effort on the field. Brady has helped the team win six Super Bowls, meaning he is ready to do whatever it takes. Let’s see what happens against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday.
