Florida natives aren’t always so crazy about those who move here from the north, but when Tom Brady joined the Bucs this was one transplant they learned to love.

Tom Brady loves Florida right back.

Winning the Super Bowl in his first season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers probably helped. But in a rare sit down interview, Tom told Channel 8 that there are lots of reasons he and the family have been happy with the move to Tampa Bay.

  Tom says Boston is "sports centric." In Tampa, we love our sports, but we have a life... he says Tampa residents are less focused on him and where he's at. With everything there is to do here, people aren't as obsessed with the athletes who live in Tampa Bay.
