Tom Brady jokes with NFL star who is son of his ex-babysitter after flaunting $500k watch

Tom’s Brady’s trip to New England on Sunday was a walk down memory lane in more ways than one way. The NFL icon was back at his old stomping ground in Gillette Stadium to call the Green Bay Packers ‘ 45-27 rout of the New England Patriots , Brady’s former team, which marked the seven-time Super Bowl winner’s first time returning to Foxborough as a broadcaster . The $375m Fox broadcaster was there to call the game alongside play-by-play partner Kevin Burkhardt when a surprising piece of lore emerged during the first half. Unbeknown to many, including Brady until before the game, he shares a surprising connection with Packers star Evan Williams. When the Green Bay safety hauled in a tipped interception from Pats quarterback Drake Maye in the second quarter, Burkhardt and Brady revealed that Williams’ mom, Dani, babysat Brady when he was 5 years old. Brady was born and raised in Northern California and attended Junípero Serra High School. Williams attended Serra’s rival high school, St. Francis.

Maybe we should throw in a tip now for me being a bad boy.” Williams has been a key part of the Packers’ defense this season. Entering Sunday’s contest he had recorded 71 total tackles, two interceptions, and one sack, while sitting second in the NFL in solo tackles (44).

Tom Brady and Evan Williams share jokes after Packers win over Patriots After the game, Brady presented Williams with his LFG Player of the Game award, and the pair shared a touching moment on the broadcast. “I’m gonna get a hold of you and I’m gonna figure out if I was a good kid or not,” Brady joked. “We gonna see,” Williams responded. “I heard no stories which might be a bad thing.” Williams also discussed his connection with Brady, widely regarded as the greatest quarterback of all-time . “I remember her telling me when I was growing up … I was probably starting high school or something, and she just tosses it out, ‘oh yeah, I babysat Tom Brady, by the way,’ and then continues another conversation. I’m like, ‘woah, woah, woah, we gotta go back,'” Williams said. “So I was never really too sure, but apparently it’s true.” Earlier in the day, Brady, who has developed a habit of flaunting his seriously expensive watches on game days, showed off his latest luxury timepiece. He shared a picture of his $500k Audemars Piguet Royal Oak ‘The Roast’, which featured a dial that replaces standard indices with his name set in calibré-cut and baguette diamonds. The number seven can be seen Roman numerals symbolizing his seven Super Bowl victories. “Special day in Foxboro”, he wrote in the caption.
