And Brady was asked about that phone call and he doesn't think his relationship with the new president is all that big of a deal.</s>TOM BRADY, PATRIOTS QUARTERBACK: I have called him in the past. Sometimes he calls me. Sometimes I call him. For 16 years, you know, you know someone. You know, before, you know, maybe he was in the position he was in. He has been very supportive of me for a long time. So, it's just a friendship. I got a lot of friends. So, I call a lot of people.</s>WIRE: All right.
