How the Patriots are celebrating Tom Brady’s 41st birthday
The Patriots had a giant cake in the shape of the No. 12 (though there was no avocado ice cream as accompaniment).
FOXBOROUGH — Jay-Z’s “Public Service Announcement,’’ Tom Brady’s typical walkout song, blared from the speakers at the start of Patriots training camp on Friday
But track had a little competition from the crowd, which delivered a rendition of “Happy Birthday,’’ also for Brady, who turns 41 Friday.
To celebrate, the Patriots had a giant cake in the shape of the No. 12 (though there was no avocado ice cream as accompaniment), giant cards for fans to sign, and a larger-than-life balloon creation in Brady’s likeness.

Also included in the practice soundtrack so far, “Hall of Fame’’ by The Script and “Once in a Lifetime’’ by Talking Heads.
As Brady walked through the tunnel out to practice, he passed a stadium employee he clearly has an inside joke with because the two shouted “Woof! Woof! Woof!’’ at each other and then fist bumped before the stadium employee wished Brady a happy birthday.
