It’s Official, Tom Brady retires after 22 seasons

[BucciMane]

Need a ESPN documentary on it.

Agreed.

Those were absolute classic games. Is not sure what the next real quarterback rivalry will be.

Maybe Mahomes and Herbert?

Burrow and Jackson?

Mac Jones and the entire league?

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

Didn't mention the Patriots or New England organization/fans in his retirement post

He wanted to stay. They wanted to move on. Why should he?

Probably Mahomes and Allen, they had the best game of the playoffs so far

What was yall's favorite Brady version, and favorite Brady moments?

This dude got better and never had the fall off the cliff that everyone has...

Mid-career Brady was Brady's peak as a player to me. He was setting records, was at his highest level of control and arm talent and pocket mobility. He was at the top of his game and led The League in all the relevant categories at least once in that stretch, felt like he was a master of all skills of quarterbacking. The fact only one of his rings came in this stretch is secondary to his year-in, year-out excellence...

One thing for certain though, no QB ever left The Game at the level of play he did. Warner was the closest I saw and he was better than Warner at the end...

That whole division is gonna be weird next year.

Saints are in cap hell and have no Sean Payton.
Bucs have no Brady, no Gronk, no AB, and Godwin's a Free Agent.
I have no idea about the Falcons or Panthers.

The whole league is going to be weird without him. For the first time in two decades (excepting 2008, when Brady got injured), you can't automatically count on Brady's team being in the playoffs. That opens things up for a lot of teams on the fringe now.

That instantly became the worst division in football. Somebody gotta win it though lol...

Growing up in the 80’s and 90’s a boston sports fan was extremely difficult. I was 3 when the celtics and redsox were in the finals/WS, so my earliest memories were of an aging Bird led Celtics, trash bruins/sox teams and football team that was nearly relocated to St. Louis. Sox/pats ended up with few playoff success…till Tom Brady took the ball early in the 2001 season.

I do believe that Brady and the Patriots success led to the in town competition of the other three major teams all trying to be on the front page of the sports section. Hell, patriots were onto their third superbowl in 4 years and all people here cared about that week was the RedSox getting ARod.

Tom for a wonderful career, incredible memories and helping to turn around the entire Boston sports region

Boston sports talk radio the the worst. The media up here is terrible. I haven't listen to 98.5 (Felger and Mazz idots) or WEEI in years.

It's probably the worst sports radio talk in the country. Worse than New York and Philly, and I think it's by a sizeable margin.

Felger might be the actual woat

 

[BucciMane]

I wouldn't argue that at all. He will always try to find fault in something. I can't listen to that trash anymore, and I haven't in years.

Six Super Bowls
One Stanley Cup
One NBA Championship
Four World Series rings


All since 2001, and they will cry about anything. It's pathetic.

 

[Cave Savage]

I feel like he probably intended for this to be his last season from the beginning and made those comments about playing til 50 as a red herring. No way in hell would Gisselle let him play that long after already wanting him to retire hald a decade ago

Plus the whole Man in the Arena thing with the last episode being held off til the spring, I don't think he would make a documentary like that if he planned on sticking around

Listening to him try and talk celtics was some of the worst shyt I've ever heard
