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

[Brewskies]

Maybe he can get himself a rub and tug to cheer up

I can only guess you are not a True NE Patriots Fan.

A Tom Brady thread finally not moved:

It’s not something we discussed as a mod team yet, and it’s ultimately Ian’s call, but IMO with Tom retired, he’s no longer a Buccaneer so I would feel like it’s safe to just think of him as a Pats alumni at this point. But idk we will see how it goes.

Really cool from BB. I wonder what's up with the 12 logo it keeps popping up in the Patriots posts from the retirement

So NESN reporting that Krafty Bob and the One Patriot Place Posse was F ING LIVID that Brady didn't kiss Krafty's ring upon his retirement announcement. He was also pissed that Brady didn't mention the fans or Pats staff/coaches....this isn't ending well. I called it yesterday, I'm not so sure Brady shows up to put on his red jacket from Krafty....

What do you have against Kraft? You should show more respect. He's done a lot for this region, not the least of which is keeping the Patriots here and building a stadium with his own money.

I was just sitting here thinking about how it felt kind of ****ty that Kraft issued a statement but not Bill. All good now.

But Belichick never thanked Brady’s parents for procreating and having Tom. What a snub! Grrr.

Understandable, Tom's father is a blithering old ninny.

He called him the greatest player in history so knowing how much he adores LT that's about the ultimate compliment the GOAT coach can give him.

Greatest player in NFL history, but certainly not Patriot of the Week.

A bit late but better late than never…now only if Tommy Boy reciprocates haha

I've noticed that as well.

I bet the Pats and NFL own the copy and license right to it and Tom is pissed.

When you think about it, this all boils down to people getting worked up over multi-millionaires who got rich from a game pissing on each other. Pretty inconsequential in the grand scheme of things.

Johnny Foxboro is the best player in NFL history!

You made this personal and showed your actual color. You were wishing me dead any day now. You are immature. Very sad. Let me tell you again what I think, Jonathan Kraft thinks, Brady is a POS.

Hey brewskies. Tic tic tic tic tic tic tic.

It's a soap opera.

Will Brady share BB's post on Insta like he has for everyone else . That's the real question

 

[PATS16N0]

A lot less crazy than the Patriots hitching their wagon to a few scrub QBs after he played 20 years and clearly had more left in the tank.

Clearly this was never a mutual “Ray Bourque” situation. The team didn’t believe in Brady. Otherwise, he’d have no reason to snub them.

Funny you mention that because I was thinking about that very thing this afternoon in terms of archiving the Brady forum, primarily because when he was in Tampa it was really more of a Brady/Bucs discussion forum, which I know was a little distracting to some here.

Now that he's retired, yes, my plan was to eventually close that and allow for the discussions to shift back to normal in here since he's essentially another retired Patriots player, which obviously now applies here. I don't know if that will happen immediately and we'll sort of play it by ear. But that will probably be happening sooner than later.
