His face seems more fleshy.

More at the linkMuch has been made in the Boston sports media over Brady’s final installment of “Tom Vs. Time,” in which he asked himself the question, “What are we doing this for?” Brady said you need to have an answer and have an answer with conviction in order to keep playing. That contemplation has led many to wonder if Brady is much closer to retirement than initially believed.
But Brady offered some comments to Oprah that added some clarity to that line of thinking.
“I put a lot into it,” Brady said of his career. “I put a lot into it. When I’ve got decisions in the course of the day, a lot of my mind always says, how is it going to help my career? So when you fail in your career, you look at all those decisions in your life and you go, is it worth it? Is it worth it to miss things with your family? Is it worth it to be as disciplined as I am with my diet? Why don’t I just give a [crap] less? But I don’t think that’s my personality, because I do really care. When I look at my teammates, I want them to know that I care.”
That’s what he meant all along in that docu-series, but this was a bit more of an expansive explanation.
And this is the guy the NFL spent millions of dollars and several years trying to tear down.“I wasn’t blessed with a lot of things that they wrote about. Like, what do they look for? They want someone tall, they want someone fast, someone strong, they want someone that can have all these physical traits, but I didn’t have all of those physical traits at the time,” Brady said. “So I had to work to develop other traits — leadership, perseverance, determination, work ethic. And I think some of those things were a part of me. Discipline. And then you get to be a professional athlete, and everyone’s really talented. Well, what other skills have you developed? You can’t just rely anymore on being the most gifted, being the most talented, because, by the way, everyone was. So what other things have you been able to develop?
“I was fortunate enough to be in very competitive environments in high school and college where I had to work on those things, and then I got to my pro team and I was like, I felt this internally but I could bring other things,” Brady continued. “I’m not going to bring the typical what you’re looking for, but if you give me time to develop, I can develop into something that could be the great leader of a team and be very disciplined and set the tone and great work ethic. And those are things that I enjoyed then, and I still enjoy those things now.”
I dunno, I didn't think it was really that much of a bummer relative to the other ones. Like the rest of the series, that episode wasn't really about the game(s) itself, so if you're watching to get insight into TB12, it delivers just fine.Semi-relatedly, I am sad to admit that I still haven't brought myself to watch the last Tom Vs. Time -- the whole conclusion to last season was kind of painful and all the reviews said it was kind of depressing. That said, I'm over the last season and really should check it out.

However he took his 4th of July Instagram story to the next level when he shot video of his uncomfortably close encounter with a wild bear.
You only need to outrun the slowest guy in your group.You can’t outrun them, unless you are on horseback and very good with a horse. It’s not a pleasant brush with death.

Plus, a very, VERY quick release. She could back up Brady and the Pats would be fine.Agreed, how ironic in a video of Youk, Brady and Giselle and family playing Dodge ball on a redsox forum the thing that stands out is the girl in stripes with the blistering fast ball.
Sorry, Youks. Was nice knowing you and thanks for all the ringsYou only need to outrun the slowest guy in your group.
Just one ring, really. One and a half, tops.Sorry, Youks. Was nice knowing you and thanks for all the rings
yeah, TB12 pegging his mom point blank at the very end was the best part.Did Brady WHIP the ball at his mom toward the end?
No Gillette Stadium practice for season ticket holders and Foxboro residents this year?I* put this together for you: https://www.boston.com/sports/new-england-patriots/2018/07/16/patriots-training-camp-2018
*I didn't do this
There is one, July 30 I believe.No Gillette Stadium practice for season ticket holders and Foxboro residents this year?
That's the way to add money without adding years to his deal via a new contract.
Incentives are categorized as LTBE (likely to be earned), or NLTBE (not likely to be earned) based on prior seasons performance. I think if you've hit that mark in the prior season, it's LTBE. If you never have it's NLTBE.Does an incentive hit the cap this year, when it presumably won't be earned until season's end?
Or can easily achieved incentives be used to delay cap hits?
or is it retroactive if achieved, and penalties applied if over the cap is the result?
You answered your own question in the last sentence.If they are going to account towards this year’s cap the team would have to hold space for it correct? If that’s the case why not just give the dude a 5 million dollar raise? I understand that it is poor business practice to guarantee something when you don’t have to, and there is always the chance that this is the year he loses it, but I feel like Kraft would have no issue doing that for Tom either
But now typing/thinking it out, I’m guessing they can’t just add to a base salary and this might be the only way to add value without adding years
If I were the team, I wouldn't want to add years if he is truly going year-to-year at this point. Kicking the can down the road is never a good idea especially if it's a big-money QB deal. If they are going to extend him, I'm sure waiting until it's all new money is the financially sound way to go.Wait, do we not want them to add years? Or does Brady not want them to add years?
Yeah he is still signed through 2019. Maybe if he has another great year this year and seems fully committed going into 2019 then you think about it, but if they manage to win a title this year or next, I think he would just hang em up anyway.If I were the team, I wouldn't want to add years if he is truly going year-to-year at this point.

Right he was on a 2/$41M deal so $20.5 AAV. Add in the $5M and it becomes $23M AAV.All the reporting cites the base figure of $15 million, but the deal Brady is on already included a major signing bonus and extensive guaranteed money,
