Randy getting an awesome ovation. 2nd biggest to Bill's. Bill's was about a 2 minute applause break at least. Their's were even bigger than Brady's and not in a bad way we were applauding Brady all night.
Brady coming out to Jay Z doing PSA was probably the coolest thing of the night.
Kraft announcing the statue and that #12 is retired were the least shocking moments of the night but still very cool too.
Some very sentimental moments with Brady's family talking about him. And him talking them. As well as him talking about the Kraft family and Myra.
The players got a little repetitive but after 20 years there's so many of them with such big roles in his career.
And Bill's story about Brady hanging off a cliff to make a shot during a pro am was gold.
Watched the first couple of quarters of the Celtics on my phone and got back to my Brother's just in time to watch the end. Spectacular night.

1). Brady's speech at the end, truly great and well worth waiting for -- brimming with genuine humility and inspiration.
2). Moss breaking down during the standing ovation he got, with big tears streaming down his face. That was special.
3). BB showing up and getting deserved appreciation. (The golf story he's told before, btw.)
Some of the Tirico-led player anecdote sessions were a tad ponderous, including the one with Manning. Interesting stuff, generally, yet more suited for television than a live event in front of 60,000 people. But by and large a memorable night and the keepsake freebies are pretty cool.
As mentioned Bruschi was notably absent as was Rodney Harrison. No Seymour either, that I saw.
I hope there is an official film of the ceremony as it was too late for me to watch. The bits that are on Youtube so far are not great. (Probably I just can't find them....lol)

I watched some YouTube coverage (Hollywood Wagner site !!!) this morning which was ok until they came to the end and cut off abruptly...also some of the interviews and presentations were missing.....maybe some other sites have uploaded their coverage which hopefully is better.
Happens to a lot of NFL big men after they retire. Some shocking before and after pictures because most of them actually have to force their bodies to get that big and stay that big during their career.
Well Brady's the best Patriots ever and they had the luxury of tailoring it to one guy. When a player goes into the HOF it's kinda hard to do that. It's not fair to the other guys to single one person out.
The Carolina Panthers surprised team owner Jerry Richardson on the occasion of his 80th birthday with a sculpture outside Bank of America Stadium depicting him between two newly created versions of the "Indomitable Spirit" panthers that guard the stadium. Here are the statues currently outside...

It will be interesting to see what Kraft does for Bill. I think in a few years he'll get taken care of. I know Brady was only retired one season but he had been gone from here longer so Kraft was very anxious to bring him back in the fold. After Bill coaches somewhere else or enough time passes then it will be his turn.
I think putting up a similar statue would make sense not sure if a full stadium event would work but if they think they can fill the stadium I wouldn't be surprised.
