Tom Brady Walks Back Support of 'Friend' Donald Trump

By JOHN SANTUCCI Sep 29, 2015, 9:43 AM ET

Patriots star quarterback Tom Brady isn’t ready to stand behind his friend, GOP Presidential candidate Donald Trump.

In an interview Monday with Boston sports radio station WEEI, Brady said his comments about Trump were blown out of proportion.

"It’s just a different world than when I started in professional football," Brady said. "Even an off-handed comment like that, like you said, that people may run with. And I understand why people do run with it because you get the clicks and that type of stuff. It’s just people doing their job. A comment like that, I try to have fun with certain things.”

The friendship between the Superbowl champ and the real estate billionaire goes back for years, and many rounds of golf.
