A BU guy says that?My guess is a lot of them are BC fans. We can give them a pass.
Perfectly stated.Catching up on this thread. Wow, what a mess.
So many people are Skip Bayless now.
Why? They would have beat the Rams if they were healthy and probably gone on to the SB.I'm glad he's playing again, but the "unfinished business" remark is bullshit.
Well, if you believe he tried to leverage a fake retirement to get traded away to San Fran, it’s definitely phony. That’s speculative, of course, but a reasonable conclusion.Why? They would have beat the Rams if they were healthy and probably gone on to the SB.
I've visited that site before and I've come to the conclusion that its members are comprised solely of prison inmates.As always, the posters over at Chiefsplanet are covering themselves in glory with this news.

Yikes“Could someone please Belcher him”
Kind of an aside but I saw a lot of this early pandemic. Everyone says they love their kids but I saw a lot of high achieving people who don't normally spend a lot of time with their kids realize that being a present parent is kind of hard and annoying and can kind of suck, at least relative to one's cool job. Trying to get his kid to do homework or the chores or whatever is likely not as fun or rewarding as being the GOAT, performing in front of 60k people, having elite professionals and an enitre organization working with you, etc.The avg dad here has one up on Tom. This dude legit took 2 months off, spent time with his family and kids and was like "i cant do this".
They won a Super Bowl in his first season there. The only "unfinished business" could be that they didn't repeat. So he's coming back to win two in a row?Why? They would have beat the Rams if they were healthy and probably gone on to the SB.
To be a bit more precise, prison inmates who could have been extras in American History X.I've visited that site before and I've come to the conclusion that its members are comprised solely of prison inmates.
Hot take alert: Arians will announce his retirement in a few weeks, for family/health reasons, and Leftwich will be elevated to head coach. That was the point of the "retirement"all along, and that's what the Glazers promised him in Manchester over the weekend. They'll reward Bruce handsomely to step aside, and wait a little while to announce, to avoid the appearance of quid pro quo. The 49ers were never in play.
He wants to win the super bowl he fell short of winning last year.They won a Super Bowl in his first season there. The only "unfinished business" could be that they didn't repeat. So he's coming back to win two in a row?
Seems like a pretty high wire act if that’s how it played out. Arians is no idiot, what if he goes kicking and screaming?Hot take alert: Arians will announce his retirement in a few weeks, for family/health reasons, and Leftwich will be elevated to head coach.

Oh, agreed. My point was that if the Glazers and Brady came to that understanding, they’d be sniffing their own product to think the timing of Arians’ departure would fool anybody.So what if he did push him out?
It would be premised on Arians having already agreed, before Brady announcing his return yesterday. But yes, it was a bit of a fun speculation on my part. Though I don’t believe he actually had a change of heart after a few weeks of the offseason. I do think his retirement was a leverage ploy of some sort, but not really sure what his goal was, or what concessions might’ve be made by the Bucs.Seems like a pretty high wire act if that’s how it played out. Arians is no idiot, what if he goes kicking and screaming?
And who WOULDN’T think that Brady pushed Arians out? Delaying that separation a few months isn’t gonna throw many (any?) off the scent.
Well played.Beat Eli in the SB?
too soon ?
He owes to the Bucs fans whom he adores to win another Super Bowl.I'm glad he's playing again, but the "unfinished business" remark is bullshit.
He got the memo too late that Brady was coming back.Cappa just signed with the Bengals. With Marpet retiring, the middle of that Bucs line suddenly looks pretty shaky. I think that Jensen is a bit overrated as a center.
So everyone who is excited Tom is back is like Skip Bayless? Cause he was thrilled this morning that Tom is back. Even wore a Tampa jersey on the show.Catching up on this thread. Wow, what a mess.

toucheWell played.
Unlike the Patriots in both of those shitshows.
Shows how bad some of the responses were when even Skip gives praise for being able to see the greatest nfl player of all take a few more snaps.So everyone who is excited Tom is back is like Skip Bayless? Cause he was thrilled this morning that Tom is back. Even wore a Tampa jersey on the show.
Missed opportunity for beating a dead goat?I'll just be beating a dead horse at this point.
More Tom Brady on the football field makes me happy.
The end.
Yes, the way they reacted to the news was straight out of Bayless' playbook of slinging nuclear level takes. The fact that Bayless worse a TB jersey is obviously irrelevant to my point. But you probably knew that.So everyone who is excited Tom is back is like Skip Bayless? Cause he was thrilled this morning that Tom is back. Even wore a Tampa jersey on the show.
What if it's a little less drastic than that, and the agreement is that Arians will leave Brady and Leftwich alone to run the offense? I could see Brady telling the owners that this challenge/freedom to do things his way is exciting enough to make him want to keep playing, otherwise he's walking away.Hot take alert: Arians will announce his retirement in a few weeks, for family/health reasons, and Leftwich will be elevated to head coach.

I think that's probably a pretty good guess, given the reports of tension between the 3 parties towards the end of the season. And, of course, Brady's fully earned the right to have Peyton-like de facto OC status at this stage of his career.What if it's a little less drastic than that, and the agreement is that Arians will leave Brady and Leftwich alone to run the offense?

How did NBC beat the NYT Pitchbot to this spicy take?
"Tom Brady Cut His Retirement Short. If Other Workers Take His Cue, It May Reduce the Labor Shortage" - NBC Chicago.It’s since been deleted. What did it say?
Man Out of the Arena. A 20 part docu-series (one part for each two days) on ESPN+So are we ever going to get the backstory on why he did this? Love Tom but I’m not really buying that he just changed his mind.
He was trying to extort his way out of Tampa and they called his bluff?So are we ever going to get the backstory on why he did this? Love Tom but I’m not really buying that he just changed his mind.
Watch it. You'll be tarred and feathered for having this opinion.So are we ever going to get the backstory on why he did this? Love Tom but I’m not really buying that he just changed his mind.
That seemed to be the theory that Jimmy Stewart on the Sports Hub floated. That TB12 was trying to get out of Tampa with the "retirement" and they basically told him, "if you are playing next year, you're playing for us." Based off of this article:He was trying to extort his way out of Tampa and they called his bluff?
The mere notion that anyone else on this site feels differently boggles my fucking mind. Do you REMEMBER how shitty they were before he got here? (Yes, and Belichick too, don’t get me started)I have a hard and fast rule that if you win 6 Super Bowls for the Patriots or 3 World Series for the Red Sox you can basically do anything you want thereafter and I will heartily support it.
