What a spectacular career.  His excellence throughout his entire career is remarkable.  A champion of champions, a leader and the greatest to ever do it.  He came to play and compete in every game for the full 60 minutes.  A sad day in sports history but the man is 44.  He’s finally had enough and leaving on his terms.  The best I ever saw.

 

Sorry but I will always put an asterisk* after his name. The man allowed his competitiveness bleed over into cheating. It’s wrong and has stained his career.

it was kind of sickening how many Patriots* jerseys there were in the stands at Bills Tampa game this year

Old folks getting them from Sallie Ann and Goodwill stores in the Florida market. New England sporting goods stores donated the jerseys and got a tax credit; Sallie Anns and Goodwills in Florida now flush with cash.

I don't think he really did.  BB pushed the envelope on a lot of stuff, but I never saw Brady as being involved in that. The "deflate" stuff was nothing, imo.

Exploring gray areas in the rules and exploiting them to your benefit in order to achieve a TINY advantage is not "cheating" it's called "being intelligent."

If Brady goes, Gronk goes, and the Bucs become an average team overnight.

 

 


Yep.

 

Although, Gronk this week did say he may stay if tommy retired.  I doubt it unless they get another stud QB.  He wouldn’t stay for a rebuild.

Ah so I'm gonna guess on February 5 it becomes official. Someone broke the news earlier than Brady wanted.

Possible, but I don’t understand this dude’s tweet. I’m probably just being stupid, but why would Brady need the $15M to “process” before making a retirement decision? He gets the money regardless, I don’t understand what this dude is getting at.

Spy gate and deflategate certainly taint his accomplishments for me.  Yes, he did win with Tampa.  That doesn’t even the score.

It’s not just Brady himself who bent the rules either. His entire Pats career was filled with shadowy figures.

I agree.  

If you want to say he had the best career ever I'll entertain that because of longevity.  But at their absolute peak, the best they ever were, of the Modern QB's I'll take peak Manning over Peak Brady.  They were close, but I have never seen a QB in control of a game and dismantle any defense as good as Manning at his peak.  As far as comparing him to other QBs from different times, to me that is only guessing so I stay away from doing that.
