Tom Brady joining Delta as a 'strategic adviser' led to so many jokes

Tom Brady is keeping extremely busy in his retired life (although he won’t be the third host of the ManningCast, sadly).

The GOAT QB is now working with Delta Air Lines, noting in a press release that he’s the son of a mom who was a flight attendant. He’ll be a “strategic adviser,” who will ” work closely with Delta’s employees for onboarding, cultural familiarity and immersion into the Delta organization.”

But Brady can’t do anything without jokes being made about him, and I get that. So of course we had to round up a few as the NFL season is set to begin without him playing:

It seems unlikely that Tom Brady's strategy of letting air out of the airplanes will lift @delta or its culture to greater heights
