Tom Brady Retires (Update: Shouts out to Pats players, coaches on social media)

[Disco Volante]

We should be watching Brady host another conference championship game tomorrow if not for inept coaching, ugh.

ESPN doubling down...

LOL

LOL

Kraft better commission a Brady statue for Gillette before those Tampa yokels do anything. He was OUR guy, they just rented him for a while.

No worries. The humidity would melt it

LOL

I guess that Brad Johnson statue will have to wait.

There's already talk in Tampa of putting Brady into their ring of fame...

Tampa is like the girl you date to just get over your ex but you actually have no feelings for

Based on the current list he'll get in easily.

If Jimmy Giles is there so will Tom.

Besides Brady.... did tampa ever have a franchise qb?

ESPN doubling down...

Technically this is Florio reporting that ESPN is doubling down which is some weird Russian nesting doll of reporting.

That Winston guy was a weirdo

When Winston is your all-time leader in passing that answers your question.

As he should be, his rankings among all-time Bucs QBs in just 2 seasons:

Playoffs
Super Bowls: 1st-T
Playoff Wins: 1st
Passing Yards: 1st
TDs: 1st

Regular Season
TDs: 2nd
Passing Yards: 7th
QB Rating: 1st
Regular Seasons Wins: 5th-T

Instantly broke a 17 year playoff/Super Bowl win drought, two greatest statistical seasons by a QB in Bucs history, etc. etc.

If we had a little better talent his last winning SB could have been ours. Brady carried BB nuff said! he was the Greater of the two in my Book. Beli better hope he can win one without him because Brady did. Beli it's your move.

 

[SVN]

espn's reporting is similar to deflategate. ..kinda screwed brady both times.

Still is. He is just currently injured. He’ll be back to his weird ways soon, my friend.

This is why I'm glad for the presumably locked-in single Tampa title; one is enough to disprove the system-quarterback nonsense (eternal haters notwithstanding) but not so much as to make him a truly "shared" entity outside of Floridian fever dreams. Yeah, I'm selfish about this.

No, I'd have to respectfully disagree. Reiss does what he wants within the guidelines of his job. If he wants to do it and it's outside of that, he simply won't. He's posted entire columns on Twitter that didn't appear on their site, and his integrity and commitment to doing the right thing always trumps everything else.

@Ian , I would love to see you be not respectful, just once. I bet you can’t do it!
