I'm not sure why he would run in MA. Maybe easier to get elected, but see him going back to his native California or planting roots in Florida.
Tom Brady retires
- Thread starter bankshot1
- Start date
You can look at it as his paper-thin Tampa uni is in the midst of crumbling off to reveal his true uni.

Report for @BallySports: Tom Brady contacted @Buccaneers GM Jason Licht and told him he has not yet made a final decision on retirement, disputing the ESPN report. Licht is respecting Brady's process and waiting for a definitive answer, whenever it comes, from the QB.

Okay, this is very different from the previous tweet stating Tom Brady Sr. his son isn't retiring. He didn't say that at all. Neither did Yee. Definitely seems to be a timing thing because everyone's dancing around it.
Oh man, I would love it if this story turns out to be false, both cos I’d love to see him play one more season and because fvck ESPN.
Isn't Papi a pretty good comp? Not as oldor as good, but still really good in his final season.
Not that I disagree with you, but Montana didn't win a Super Bowl with the Chiefs.
AP also reported that no decision has been made.

Number 2 might be the fact that he never missed a game to injury outside of 2008.
Health being the secret sauce in the Brady GOAT resume. There will be other guys who will come along with equal or greater talent, but the combination of skill, drive and health might never be matched.
Our younger son, the athlete and big time sports fan of the two, was born in 2001. TB12 is all that he knows.
That's so good you could really put it in any thread and it wouldn't feel out of place.
I crunched the numbers. I think Tom Brady has an outside shot at the Hall of Fame. He definitely had a good 22-year peak, but I'm just not sure he hung on long enough to pad his stats like a True Hall of Famer.
That's not what the AP is reporting, they're reporting that he told the team that one hasn't been made. Most likely it's already been made, but he didn't want to tell anyone yet due to a combo of not overshadowing the CCGs and getting his bonus. AP has no idea if one has been made or not.
So basically, he’s told everyone but Tampa.
The odds he doesn’t retire have to be infinitesimally small at this point.
This is kind of what I felt other than the SB against the Chiefs. I absolutely preferred him winning to more Mahomes hype.

And playoff byes are a black mark as games that he didn't play (read: avoided), rather than a positive.
It doesn’t, I was just replying to the 12 time loser in the playoffs comment. I can safely say both were dripping with sarcasm.
Just to connect the dots a little bit, Schefty is a Michigan Man, and had Brady's back all the way through deflategate, so it wouldnt stun me if someone in the Brady camp, leaked to Schefty ahead of others.
Down the road, Brady sharing the Canton stage with Big Ben, I am not sure if that makes me happy or sad. Loathing Big Ben for years, I think I enjoy that he probably thinks he would be getting a day in Canton where he is the headliner, now, he will be lucky to get 10% of the coverage. However on t he other end, on Brady's Canton day, we are going to have an 80% Steelers crowd and terrible towels everywhere.
Also rules out completely a Rodgers retirement this offseason as there is no way he shares the day with the guy who symbolizes everything he was not.

Of course, Brady has ridiculous stats over the course of his career - both peak and longevity. But it can be debated whether there were better statistical QBs. But what cannot be debated is that he was the greatest winner in football history, and it’s not even close. And that’s OBJECTIVELY true, not a matter of subjective opinion.
I haven't followed todays Brady "is he or isn't he" intrigue closely, but I'd think Jules twitter upthread, would seem to be decent comformation. The guys are buddies and Jules presumably might have spoken to someone like Viv who is close to TB12.
Or he did tell the Bucs, and they're going along with his wishes around timing of the announcement.
He’s won 278 games as a starter (reg season + playoffs). So if you’re a young QB starting your career: you could win 13 games a year for 21 straight years … and you’d still be five wins shy TB12.
And that’s if he retires.
Wait. We think confirmation comes from Jules who was texting Tom’s 10Yo daughter?
Edelman subsequently walked that back. Could be because Tom asked him to or could be because he didn’t have first hand information and was just reacting to what was being reported and he felt like he had to take it back. I still think that he’s retiring and someone leaked it in advance of when he wanted it to get out there. But I don’t think Edelman’s initial tweet is dispositive of anything.
Maybe this is Gisele leaking to Schefty to get her husband to quit a year sooner than he wanted.
By 2017 he was inarguably the most accomplished QB in NFL history. And then he did some other stuff.
