I wonder if brady will be able to take the route of a beckham or jordan/woods.. where he will have his own brand and thus be able to make a ton of money over his life-time

Ever see the hat that isn't available anywhere...TB12. I think locally there'd be a tremendous market for a TFB product line too...

Thing is, those athletes pretty much had their own brands from early in their careers and were/are able to spend their careers building the brand. I don't see Brady starting a brand after he retires and then that brand having any great amount of cache.

Of course when dance with a little string covering their arse for Carinval I'm sure they are thinking about the watchful eyes of that Jesus statue.

Brazil has the fourth largest economy on the planet. Granted, there's a huge income divide (there is here in America, too), but Brazil is hardly third world. It absolutely surpasses most of Europe right now.

I don't know how much he necessarily cares, since his wife is the clear breadwinner in the family, but if he wins another Super Bowl late in his career, I could see Brady having a pretty major post-retirement profile, surpassing Montana and Elway's.

Maybe he is thinking long-term?

He is, just in ways that are slightly less visible than Manning

That's hardly saying anything. Rodney Harrison has a higher post-NFL-career profile than Montana and Elway.

IIRC, Brady has the second-highest endorsement income of any NFL player (after Paymetons, natch); because he doesn't do nearly as many ads, I guess that he gets more money per deal.

yea, if brady wins won more ring, it could catapult him.

But still... he has to take advantage. Turning down endorsements is not the way imho. Obviously you dont want over-exposure.. but times like these don't come around every day!

looks go a long way i guess
