FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Patriots quarterback Tom Brady was asked if he had a message for the team's fans in anticipation of Sunday's home opener against the Chargers.

"Start drinking early," he responded, before adding "get rowdy" and that there's "a lot of time to get lubed up and cheer for the home team."

Brady later clarified his remarks through a team spokesman.

"Stay hydrated, drink a lot of water, be loud, drink responsibly," was his clarified message.
