[Bruins29]

You Win. I am done posting to a child. When you grow up you might understand

Go cry more and change your Depends

 

[SHOWTIME15]

Well done. Well said.

Interesting that you changed your avatar to a picture of Brady in a Bucs uniform...

Where's my fecking personally signed thank you note??!! Hmmm?? I attended all those Donks games where he shat the bed! I endured being cursed at and spit on by Eagles fans at a pre-season game. The list goes on and on...

Michael Felger: "2018 season wasn't even that fun. Yeah you won the SB. But the SB sucked. You kind of stole that title. The only highlight was the KC game."

Ungrateful. Might be canceling my Felger and Mazz podcast subscription. Starting to realize these guys are toxic.

This has always been their go-to talking point after every Patriots SB win: Don't talk about any players that did well, instead focus on how "lucky" they were or how the other team blew it. In 2014, instead of it being about (at the time) the largest 4th quarter comeback in SB history against maybe the best defense since the 2000 Ravens, it was, "Yeah but they should have run it with Lynch!"

In 2016, instead of talking about the ridiculousness that was the 28-3 comeback, which included a monster strip sack by Hightower, a once in a lifetime catch by Edelman, and a coming out party by James White (not to mention the feather this put in Brady's already illustrious career), it was, "Yeah, but if Shanahan just takes three knees after the Jones catch the comeback never happens!"

I think that was the last time I listened to them. I just got fatigued with the whole schtick of: "The Patriots never did anything good, they just always went up against people who were stupid... for TWENTY YEARS."

All 744 passing/rushing touchdowns in Brady's career.

You have a subscription? You pay to listen to Felger and Mazz?

Should be the other way around.

OT: saw Felger on tv a couple of days ago. He looks like hell. Pale. Skinnier than normal. Wonder if the real reason for Sara leaving FOX25 was because he's battling a health issue?

That's amazing. Hank Aaron's 755 HR record stood for 33 years. I wonder how long the total TDs record will last.

 

[RIpats88]

I'm still shocked he retired especially when he was so close to playing at 45. Definitely Giselle and probably the fact that the Bucs could be losing alot of players and coaches.

If this is Gisele's decision but not Tom's I'd be much more disappointed.

Well Tom went from talking about playing until he was 50 a couple months ago to retiring after the season. Something changed.

It was only broke due to steroids. Brady's TDs will get broken due to the expanded season and passing rules. 18 games is probably happening within the next 5 years.

I heard Sara brought in a couple of specialists...

In all sincerity I hope demonic possession is the reason. That would explain a great many things.

Exorcist reference. Awesome! About time we had one on this forum.

It's no different than today's quarterbacks benefitting off a water-downed league now. 30 years ago (1992), Jim Kelly led the NFL in touchdowns with 33. In 2021, that number would get you tied with Kirk Cousins. It's the NFL's version of inflation.

I agree which is why stats have to be measured in context of era played in with regards to rules, # of teams, offensive approach, etc. But I was more commenting on the difference between baseball and football. The legacy records in baseball were broke due to steroids which is a shame.

Yep unfortunately

20 years ago Brady led with 28. Kurt Warner amazed us with 36 on 01. Peyton only had 26. The rule changes for Peyton helped touchdowns explode after 2005

I agree. And there will be even more rule changes over the next 20 years to help offenses.
