EDIT: Timeline below.
1. Darlington & Schefter report Brady is retiring.
2. TB12, Tom’s brand/company, tweet (then later delete) about his retirement.
3. Toms teammates tweet about his retirement.
4. Tom’s agent, dad, Arians, and Licht all say Tom hasn’t decided yet.
5. Ian Rappaport says many sources confirm Tom plans to retire but the pushback is due to timing.
6. Tom announces retirement again in 2023. [Reply]
He's probably just going to Bosley again for some more hair plugs and wants to go off the grid for a couple months until his scalp incision heals.
He'll resurface with some team right around the start of training camp. Maybe Bezos buys the Donks and brings Brady and Rodgers in for dual quarterback "super team" to try to break the 13 game losing streak to the defending Super Bowl champion 2022 KC Chiefs. [Reply]

Checked in with Tom Brady Sr. who tells me, and I quote, "This story Mike is total conjecture. Tommy has not made a final decision one way or the other and anybody else that says that he has is absolutely wrong." #TomBrady#Buccaneers

Lol I love how you disregard how Tampa Bay only got 12 this last season and now point that RTP bullshit because if you get close to him you get a flag.
You are clearly biased since you are now inferring that Defensive players won't get near brady when trying to get a sack because "refs will flag them". You're a moron. Everyone and their mother is trying to sack the GOAT. Be mad at me for calling him the GOAT, better be mad at Mahomes & tyreek too then since they just tweeted hes the goat, along with half the NFL community of personnel that actually matter unlike you and I.
And again, you're just throwing out random shit, with no actual conversation to be had. You're just shit talking and upset because the big bad Brady's buccaneers set the DPI for 2020 and not someone else.
Like I tell all my buddies, success breeds haters, and you're one of them. We will have PLENTY of them near the end of Mahomes' Career.
We are now hosting 4 straight AFC championships (never done before) You don't think people are gonna get sick of seeing us in the big game every year and rooting against us and nit picking every single call and play that goes our way?? You're just salty.
EDIT: Oh yeah makes more sense to have the rams win in their new stadium than to send the GOAT off with his 8th ring into retirement. You're right, the rams stadium is a much better talking point & selling point.
Jesus, you’re a buttfucking moron. Let me guess, last years SB was called fairly as well? Keep Brady’s dick in your mouth. [Reply]

I have watched them all play their careers from the start. No chance in hell Brady is the best. Montana's 4 are better than Bradys 7. He played better and did more to win the games. Defense and cheating and refs didn't carry him.
I begrudgingly give Montana his due but even if deflategate and sypgate helped the Patriots... which I believe is BS, Montana and Niners helped a ton more with how they usurped the salary cap. Their owner would pay players on the side and that helps explain why they sometimes had awesome depth and not just at QB with Young backing up Montana.
Watch half of the Patriots games for the 3 years before Brady arrived to get some idea of the trend of the team and the ability level of the players. And then just watch his entire first season after their 100 million dollar QB Bledsoe got hurt.
If you do that and are honest, you will understand why Brady is so great. The guy is underrated since everyone is looking for a 6"5 QB that runs like Usain Bolt but throws the ball like Jeff George. It doesn't matter if you can throw the ball 1000 yards if you can't make the correct decisions quickly and throw accurately into tight windows with consistency.
Brady didn't have the Jeff George arm but he could still throw it about 73 yards accurately on an injured ankle. That is more than good enough when most QB's including Brady rarely throw the ball over 60 yards.
The only thing the guy that was lacking was running ability outside of the pocket and that is a double edged sword since the most effective running by a quarterback is stepping up into the pocket and running that way. Well that style of play deployed by Cam Newton/Josh Allen is liable to get the QB hurt. All other running may still be a positive on balance but it has more negatives associated with it than average fan realizes since when you start running, it is harder to see down the field and sometimes you run into a sack/worse opportunity.
Some Brady haters like to suggest he was a statue in the pocket. That is like the furthest thing from the truth. Bledsoe was fairly statuesque in the pocket, Brady had very good and not just good pocket mobility. He must have practiced the movements so religiously they became 2nd nature. [Reply]
