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

[Steve102]

Not according to Tom E Curran he's not. Not at this time, anyway.

Just screams of

Brady's pr guy: Ya we are getting a ton of **** about Patriots not being in your statement


I'm actually more disappointed about Brady capitulating on this. There is a reason for him not mentioning the team he was with for 20 years and had so much success with when he is typing up his retirement announcement. The fact that the Pats didn't cross his mind or they did and he omitted them while writing that says a lot to me. Wish he would have stood by it instead of pr spin tweets.

I am willing to take the wait and see approach, unlike many on this board who are very butt hurt.

Hes probably working off that BS report from earlier.

There you go.

and this guy Wes Goldberg with his 7500 followers is who?????

Any rational fan saw this coming.

Lakers literally punted 3 seasons just to honor Kobe

Pats couldn't just retool around Brady who still threw 4000 yards and 25+ TDs with the worst supporting cast in the league?

I said this before he left. 10-20 years down the road no Patriots fan was going to regret if we held onto Brady two seasons too late to ensure he retired here. Congrats we got two years of a headstart on a much needed rebuild. The sacrifice is that Brady’s HOF bust will lost two teams, images of him as a Buccaneer are as prevalent as Broncos Manning images, and the Pats aren’t the only priority he has.

Lakers fans don’t regret the 3 year tank they had to keep Kobe. Not one bit. It’s pretty obvious some fans are miffed now that Brady prioritized the team he actually was leaving and retiring with. That’s the trade off. Sometimes franchises have to live with the decisions they make.

Anyways, I’m sure things will smooth over when Kraft starts telling Brady about all the honors and celebrations he has for them. Until then, enjoy this rebuild.

Never heard of this clown.

He covers the Miami Heat, so take it with a grain of salt.

I wanted to see him play another year, but at least he didn't go the Rodgers/Favre route. Once he started mulling retirement he went through with it.

 

[Froob]

I think Brady will sign a one day here and retire, has too much for Kraft not to. I think he's gotta wait til after Feb 4 before Bucs release him so he can do that.

I really never doubted that Brady would do this. I think he wants to retire at the place where he won six titles and had most of the success in his career. But even if he looked at it as a pure image standpoint, it would be a bad look for him if he didn't.

But I don't know if I buy this specific report.

Be careful, that dude is not a NE reporter and others have said that’s not discussed yet. The Tampa contract also has dead money, so it could cause complications

Mortenson is so friggin thin skinned. Why should we celebrate a reporter for doing their job. Reporters get stories right all the time. Are we supposed to hold a victory parade everytime someone gets a story right in the media?

 

[captain insano]

Why does Brady owe the fans a damn thing? What sort of narcissistic garbage is this? The fans didn’t do a ****ing thing for him aside from overeat, drink in excess, and shout at the stadium. He only owes his coaches and himself for his career.

And the fans don't owe him a damn thing, either. He didn't win anything for the fans. Only 15 year olds believe otherwise. He doesn't love you back.

 

[VectorPrime]

Mort got one of the most impactful stories about Brady’s career horribly wrong.

I don't know if I believe him. But I still expect Brady to sign an one day deal and retire with the Patriots.

 

[patsfan13]

I don’t think he’d be a very good coach regardless. Einstein was a terrible teacher. Brady would run into the same issues as a coach.

Remember Ted Williams managing the Washington Senators. Great players typically don’t make great coaches.

Where does this thread reside now? I can still find it by searching for my own post but it doesn't show up in the main forum thread list nor is it in the Tom Brady forum. It has to be somewhere.

What's the NEED for them to release that story on Sat before the games? Did it provide a valuable public service or was it simply for their own benefit? The is no praising of some 'reporter' releasing this kind of 'news' 2 days before originally intended because it is a self serving move. These 'reporters' then get on social media and defend themselves in any and all situations.
