SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/23369972/tom-brady-new-england-patriots-says-plans-play-season 'I want to inspire people' Inspire them to join AARP instead Tom. New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady confirmed his plans to play in 2018 and repeated his goal to extend his career into his mid-40s during an appearance Monday at the Milken Institute Global Conference in California, while detailing why he's taking a different approach this offseason, staying away from the team's voluntary offseason program. "Part of this offseason for me is certainly about still preparing for what's ahead in my next journey, my next mountain to climb with this group of teammates, but it's also [acknowledging] that a lot of people are getting the short end of the stick in my life -- certainly my wife and my kids," Brady said in an hour long conversation with moderator Jim Gray 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhoTom Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 'A man who doesn't spend time with his family can never be a real man.' - Vito Corleone The dude has tons of money, a guaranteed ticket to Canton, and five rings. And instead of retiring so he can spend time with his family, he just skips the voluntary workouts. His kids will remember THAT. 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavin in Va Beach Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Not a fan, but he has earned the right and respect to go out on his terms. That said, I hope the Bills sack him into early retirement in week 8. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Epstein's Mother Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Manning and Elway were 2 of lucky ones that got to go out on top. For most QB's in their late 30's and early 40's the game quits them before they quit the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hondo in seattle Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 It sounds like Brady's love of the game is finally winding down. He doesn't feel fully appreciated. He mentions that his family is getting the short end of the stick. He's not going to attend voluntary offseason workouts this year. Maybe he'll retire at the end of this season. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It starts with a joint and ends with a needle. OOPS wrong analogy, It starts with VTA's then progresses to MTA's then he says F it I am not playing on Thanksgiving, Christmas or New Years weekends. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFunPolice Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Excellent! This increases our chances of seeing the broken down version of Brady who actually LOOKS 40+ years old. We have earned it I think! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Call_Of_Ktulu Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 If Edmunds puts a hit on Brady he will turn to dust. He will have to break free from the Holding O-Line but I'm guessing one time he will break through. Brady is going to hold out for 35 mil a year, I can feel deep..........deep in my stones.

Iron Maiden Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 A motivated Brady has been the most dangerous weapon in the NFL for the last 20 years...let's hope he's actually thinking about stopping for real....although that article about having a countdown clock in his gym towards SB52 doesn't sound like someone who's thinking about retirement...... Just retire Tom...you're the best ever, blah blah blah...now just leave us alone...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2o Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 The one thing you can never beat is time. Time waits for no man. It catches up to us all. All it takes is one hit, one misstep, one cleat to grab the turf the wrong way, one awkward landing. and Brady's career is over. Outside of his lone ACL tear he has been one of the most healthy and fortunate football players I have ever seen. But you never know, fate may have other plans for Mr. Brady and they may not include going out on his own terms. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theAteam Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 I for one would love to see him go out with a whimper as he holds back the team giving them a few ****ty seasons. Unfortunately the reality is he'll probably have them contending right up to the moment he hangs it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Red King Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Unless he has mastered an ancient secret for rejuvinating his own flesh with the raw power of his ego, Tom's going to slow down. The problem is, he thinks he's immortal, that it's a mental thing, that he won't have to retire until he wants to. Sorry, that's a call your body can make for you. Personally, I think it's ego-driven. He wants more rings, wants more press clippings, wants to be the QB that went to his mid-40s, anything and everything to pad his legacy. I almost get the impression he'd be lost if he retired. No games, no drama, no NFL experts talking about him being the GOAT week in and out. He'd miss the limelight. I just have a very bad feeling Father Time will catch up to him, and his legacy will end with him curled up in a broken ball on the field after a clean hit in a regular season game. About the farthest thing from riding off into the sunset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very rarely do QBs retire when they should. Perhaps it’s their egos, but usually the last 2-3 years of their careers seriously pale in comparison to their peak. So, let him play. If he can give us the last years of Kelly or Marino or Favre, we can only benefit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
