I’d love to pummel that old fucker on national TV one last time. [Reply]

He should be banging all the Insta models he can get his hands on in the Caribbean since being divorced, not contemplating extending an overextended career by one or two more years. What's he got left to prove or to earn?? Hell, go be minority owner of the Dolphins now and take your Instahoes to the owner's box with you, Brady. Live life, you've earned it. [Reply]

Nah, he did it legitimately last year and came back because he still wanted to be playing.
He wouldn't have gotten ahead of it this year and done it immediately if he hadn't been sure. He also saw his skills declining and didn't want to go out any worse than he already did. Very different from how he ended the prior season.
He knows he sullies his legacy if he plays this game again. It's not happening. He cares too much about the narrative and his legacy to do this again. [Reply]

Wasn't Gisele banging her photographer like a week after they split? She was definitely cheating on him in that case. He probably just unretired last year because he knew the divorce was inevitable and he delayed that Fox contract.
As long as the Chiefs have Patrick Mahomes, I couldn't give a fuck if Brady chooses to retire or not. We've been to 3 SBs in 5 years. Fuck him. [Reply]

I think he's got the Michael Jordan bug. It's part of what makes them great but it's also a mental thing that I think 99.9% of people just don't have. Just a sick obsession with competition. Not sure Brady has gambling or golf like Jordan did though. [Reply]
