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

[VectorPrime]

Obviously the greatest Patriot ever.

Greatest Boston athlete?

Your talking Orr, Williams, and Russell. Those are legends of their respective sport too.

BAHAHAHA it’s Brady and it’s not close.

Looking back on it, he had “angry Tom” face when Kupp caught that deep bomb to pretty much seal the game. I remember thinking he must’ve been mad his season is over, but perhaps he might have been mad about more than that.

But after the game he was smiling and shaking everyone's hands from the Rams. Very un-Brady like after a playoff loss. I believe he went into this season knowing it was his last and accepted that injuries ruined another title run.

Brady always shakes hands after a loss except in a few rare instances (like the time he lost to that scrub from the most vile place in America).

Russell won 10 titles .

It's not just the shaking of hands. He was smiling, hanging out with the Rams guys. Looked down right content and happy. Normally he just shakes hands quickly and bolts off to the locker room.

Russell won 10 titles .

Apples to oranges. He played in an 8 team league with no salary cap. Much easier to win titles.

 

[VectorPrime]

Russell won 10 titles .

In a league with 8-12 teams back when NBA games were barely even televised live.

Yogi Berra won 12 titles IIRC. I guess he’s the best athlete of all time.

 

[Bonzo]

Russell won 11.

Yogi won 10 as a player - but not before serving in the US Navy at D-Day (and getting shot in the hand) - and another 3 as a coach.

 

[Brotherblues]

It wouldn't have mattered if he lost 70-3 to the Rams.

Nobody is going to remember the losses. His wins are so amazing that it overshadows any bad loss.

Lots of us here remember the losses with excruciatingly painful detail... But it's ok.

Ben Watson clearly and undeniably forced a touchback.
Why Reche? Why?
Randy's fingertips...
Why Asante? Why?

I'll stop now for my sake.

 

[Disco Volante]

Russell won 10 titles .

No one considers him the greatest basketball player of all time.

Everyone realizes Brady is the GOAT.

 

[carmelo15]

SF needs to do the right thing here

 

[TBR]

Russell won 10 titles .

Brady would have 15 titles if this was an 8 team league with no salary cap.

Brady retires early in the Offseason. He has a deal with McDaniels and the Raiders. He signs with the Raiders late in the offseason.

Loyalty is not a Brady word.

Brady wouldn’t wipe his ass with the Raiders.

So, people are bringing up the Brady Rule online, without anyone really realizing that the rule was made after Carson Palmer's hit in 2006. BUT--I rewatched the Brady knee injury to see if they threw a flag on KC (they didn't) and saw that Brady completed a bomb on that play to triple covered Randy Moss. And Moss, seeing that he had 4 defenders in front of him, turned and dropped to the ground, gave himself up. As soon as he's touched, he's down. In fact, a ref could blow the whistle seeing he gave himself up. BUT, bizarrely, a player dove on top of Moss, and while he was on top of him with Moss down, punched the ball out. KC recovered the fumble.

Crazy and laughable that there was no flag on Pollard and that KC recovered a fumble that shouldnt have been.

The 80s run culminated in the first NYFL team to win 3 road playoff games. That was the Squish the Fish year and if not for a smothering Bears defense it could have been our 1st SB win.

Agree...that Chi defense was incredible

New York? Philly? I think they both match your description.

Brady would love to be back with Josh, in a heart beat.

Thanks, because I have an opinion and don't agree with you? You are immature.
