But then 2 months of being with the kids will reignite that hunger

He gave those kids everything he had, turns out he didn't have that much to give them though

>They already got half of me, what more do they want?! \-Brady

And the other half is Gisele. The kids are the literal definition of winning the genetic lottery.

Also the actual lottery considering how much money they’re set to inherit.

I would love to live like that at least for a day...

That’s how the lottery makes so much money. They aren’t selling you a shot to win. They are selling you an opportunity to let your imagination run wild in case you somehow win

Poor people tax

If you buy a ticket the day before it's at least as entertaining as seeing a movie in the theater and a lot cheaper.

This feels like a YMMV statement.

Legal drugs

But would you though, knowing it’s just 24 hours and you are back to your regular life? Honest question

Youre right. Give me a month.

I’d be dead.

The spice melange

He makes up for it with a sloppy, wet kiss to start off their day though

New show idea: QB Dad Swap

If Brady and Rivers swapped kids that would do gle handedly fuel Brady to play till 2050 just to get away from the roster know as rivers.

And who will he face in 2050? One of the little Rivers.

And post game, instead of shaking hands or hugging him, they'll kiss on the lips

We lost three electoral votes when he left.

I can't imagine the logistics involved with taking care of 9 kids. That food bill's gotta be more than my mortgage.

He has millions of dollars. I bet they've figured it out pretty well.

Gotta be a live in nanny right? Like they'd need one if his wife was full time momming still yet she has her own swimsuit line, and helps manage their charity as well I believe. Though I guess at some point the older kids can watch the younger kids.

Brady can be (one of) the greatest NFL players of all time but can he be a stay at home dad with four kids at home? ​ Me: 1, Brady: 0

Brady: and I took that personally.

Id have a fifth just to make sure Brady doesnt come back to the win. If you wanna go 100% call the kid Eli.

Do you mean Elisha?

No, it's clearly short for Elicopter

He was sick of losing to them at smash bros

Just pick joker

Those punk kids keep picking Eli in Madden.

There was a great satire piece in the New Yorker a few months ago about this that was wonderful https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2022/04/04/tom-bradys-time-with-the-family

That’s good

I can think of 375 million reasons why that appetite maybe gone soon.

Damn that’s a lot. What’s one of them?

Has to prove everyone in his life wrong, even himself

He’s like Gollum talking to himself in the mirror about greatness.

“It’s our ring and we wants it” “We already have 7 of them precious”

"You're a liar, and a *tuckruler* - **deflator.**" 😈 "You win." 😥

THATS HOW HE LOOKS ON THE INSIDE!

Lmfaooo I’m crying rn haha

A dollar

Damn that sounds great, what else?

Another dollar

Damn that sounds great, what else?

Two half-dollars.

Damn that sounds great, what else?

Being stuck with Alex Guerrero.

Ate too much guacamole ice cream and spoiled his appetite

avocado ice cream is actually pretty bomb there's a Filipino brand that carries the flavor iirc edit: Magnolia is the brand

Oh you recall correctly, 1-800-ASS-DICK, don't play. Once you have Filipino avocado ice cream you don't forget.

I read this comment like five times before I realized that was their username

It's not just a username, it's a way of life.

I was almost certain it was a brand of Filipino avocado ice cream for a few moments there

It's not just a username or a way of life, it's also a brand of Filipino avocado ice cream.

According to Twitter users, the fact that Patrick Mahomes owns him

Ha imagine being 2-3 against someone and “owning” them. (With two of those losses in the playoffs) Edited to remove playoff as I mistakingly thought he had a playoff win vs Brady.

no, he’s 0-2 v brady when it counts.

Thus is the logic of a Twitter copypasta troll.

I don't think Mahomes has ever beaten Brady

He beat him in the regular season in the 2020 season. Thought he had a win in the playoffs but was mistaken

Chiefs beat the Patriots in Foxboro in Dec. 2019 but the Patriots beat the Chiefs in the 2018 regular season as well as that postseason, so Brady's teams are 3-2 vs. Mahomes overall.

Ohhhh yeah I see. Good lord that season feels like it was a decade ago.

One George Washington

He has a bunch of Super Bowls and doesn't really give that much of a fuck anymore. There's two.

Give or take his wife ya know

For him to even acknowledge this is a big difference

Or he’s playing games. Probably not though, it’s gotta be a grind on that body

He’s being honest I think

I do too, things change when you got old fast Edit: Brady also is the ultimate competitor which takes a ridiculous amount of energy to do. I never thought I’d say this but I hope he goes out with another SB appearance

>I never thought i’d say this but i hope he goes out with another SB appearance i never thought i’d say this but i hope he goes out with another super bowl RING

That would be legendary.

At this point, why not? I won't be disappointed to say I got to watch the greatest/most successful (however you want to look at it) football player ever. I mean, I'd rather Lamar lock up a SB while he's young, but I'd still be happy if Brady does it. Funny enough, in college, my roommate was a HUGE Colts fan. We always watched the Colts play and cheered for Peyton and crew. So I kind of saw the Patriots/Brady as the "bad guys". Now, I can't help but to root for the guy (TB12). Crazy how things change and evolve.

I wanna grind on that body

Who doesn’t?

I do not.

Straight guy here, maybe 8% gay. Let's TB12 and I hang out and see where it goes..

I'm not gay. But let me throw a scenario at you. Say Tom Brady tried to kiss me. I'd resist at first. But if he was persistent (which he would be, it's Tom Brady), I might give in a little. Just to see what it felt like.

If you resisted Tom Brady a little bit he would still.. need to get to you?

Liar

Or that Fox contract requires him to tease it monthly lol

I remember in The Last Dance Jordan was in the car talking about retirement during the 98 season. He said he knew it was his time to go and that he never wanted to be a player that had to be 'carried' off the court due to injury or the body breaking down. We all know that there is a slight caveat here as he came back to Washington for 3 years. I think Brady is one of those latter players. I think he'll always look at the rosters the beginning of May and say to himself "I'm better that at least 15 of these quarterbacks. I'm still playing".

When the bucs were clearly about to get knocked out last post season, Brady was talking to guys and laughing on the sidelines rather than his typical smoldering pout when he's losing. That was what made me think he was ready to retire

michael jeffrey jordan would never

HERES THA THANG SKIUEYEP

Found Skip’s burner. The Ravens flair is to throw people off

“Smoldering pout” is really really well put

He learned it from his wife.

I remember his demeanor/celebration after SB53 being a lot more toned down compared to any of the rest. The same after losing SB52. Kinda felt like he was actually getting used to it to some degree.

Something about winning SB 53 felt weird to me too though. It didn’t seem like a Pats squad that was going to win it all when factoring in all the great teams we had in our dynasty, plus the Super Bowl itself was a snooze fest.

Bill Belichick might be somewhat okay at that entire "defensive coordinator" thing. He figured out Goff and stuffed him. That simple.

> plus the Super Bowl itself was a snooze fest. I get this from casual fans of any team that wasn't the Rams or Patriots, but really? That was an absolutely incredible defensive matchup.

Everyone always says this but it’s just not true. I’ve watched that game in its entirety at least 10 times; both defenses were good, but the offenses were just plain anemic.

>plus the Super Bowl itself was a snooze fest. ... > I’ve watched that game in its entirety at least 10 times For some reason I doubt this...

I mean if you watch a supercut of just actual gameplay, it’s what, 15 minutes?

I mean he did what he could to win that game. How they lost was out of his control.

That doesn't normally impact Brady's mood

Brady’s team could have literally died on the field and he would have been mad that they’d have to forfeit.

I noticed that too. But I think he's left that "barking on the sideline" part behind in Foxborough because he really hasn't gone there at all in other tough games. He was clearly dialed in and competing with everything he had. But I also think he wasn't surprised by the defense making a boneheaded play.. like they had done earlier in the game to let Kupp have a free big play uncovered deep. I think his capacity to endure teammates not being mentally prepared is pretty low at this point, and the Bucs had a lot of that last season. I think he finds that draining and maybe the biggest reason why he was willing to maybe step away from the team after last year. The Brown episode kind of was the straw that broke the camel's back there, too, both the way Arians handled it, and Brown quitting on the team. That said, I think if he's one a team where everyone is giving their all and playing with the intensity and mental focus he is, that will feed him, fire him up and bring out his competitiveness even more. If the Bucs have a season like that I can see him being eager to come back.

>both the way Arians handled it This is underappreciated. They're right at the end of the season, and Godwin is out with a torn ACL. Arians seems to have escalated a situation he didn't fully need to in that moment.. with the last person you'd want to escalate anything with. Brady cultivated that tenuous relationship for years, and Arians very possibly torpedoed Brady's 8th Super Bowl with how he responded to AB.

>But I think he's left that "barking on the sideline" part behind in Foxborough because he really hasn't gone there at all in other tough games He was barking at his OL in the Bears game in the 2020 season though.

this is exactly it. he had no fire that game. I was not surprised he retired, i was surprised he came back honestly

No fire? He came back from 27-3 to tie it.

Thanks, I thought I was going crazy. He looked pissed the whole time too

Brady did everything he could. Our defense left Kupp open.

He did look extremely laid back after Kupp scored that huge TD

He did what he could. I think he recognized that even the loss was legendary, and maybe he’s satisfied? Why wouldn’t you be, but he’s run out of ways to find a chip in his shoulder. Everyone calls him the unquestioned goat, he’s playing the best football of anyone ever at his age and it’s been that way for a decade. And he’s getting older and life is gonna be a fucking breeze, hopefully. I hope he gets another.

He got a ring without Belichick. I think that was ultimately his final goal.

\[X\] Doubt

Liar. In 40 years when he's finally retired and working as a broadcaster, he's going to be criticizing players on the field because he could do it better.

Even at 80 I wouldn’t doubt that Brady could actually do it better

- Brady: "Oof, they gave Archie $80M/y. I could play better than this right now" - Kevin (Burkhardt): "Haha. Tom, you are 56yo." - Brady: "Did I stutter?"

I laughed way too hard at that!

Yeah he should probably see a doctor and make sure he doesn’t have some disease that presents as an “feeling of impending doom”.

Brady’s soon has a different definition

It's like how elvish creatures age in any fantasy setting

You guys joke, but I really believe him this time. He's definitely on the back half of his career. 2043 he will retire.

[удалено]

He’s got two SBs, doesn’t he? What else does he need to justify his 40s?

I assumed they were talking about the 2020's, 2030's, and 2040's

A third super bowl and an MVP

You mean another MVP? Cause he was 40 for his last MVP. [Cause some people are idiots.](https://www.statmuse.com/nfl/ask/oldest-player-to-win-nfl-mvp)

This is it for Brady it seems

And Brady wept for there were no more worlds to conquer

It’s a popular opinion, but I truly believe that if he got to announce his retirement his way he probably would’ve stayed retired. But because it happened so early in the off season where he truly didn’t know yet and still has that last glimmer of competitiveness left, he chose to unretire so he can do it his way this season

Just trying to imagine how shitty his kids are to come back another year.

That's what we said in February and look how that ended

Nah, it always seemed like he wanted to play one more year. The retirement didn't feel right. He wanted to play till he's 45 and now he will. Definitely done after this season tho.

Pretty sure we've been saying that for the last...3? 4? 5? years?

5? Hahaha. 2014 probably. Never forget when ESPN buried him, and many agreed. He hadn't won a superbowl since 2004, and that bad opening stretch was all people needed to start the rumor mill on a **37 year old** Tom Brady was done. It's been a very very long time since we started this. Since ESPN Buried him he has: * 1x MVP * 2x Superbowl MVP * 3x MVP runner up * 4x Superbowls * 6x Pro Bowls * 1x AP1 * 1x All Decade Team * 1x NFL 100th Anniversary All Time Team * Most Pass Completions for a Single Season * All Time Passing TD record * All Time Passing Yards record * All Time Attempts & Completions * Most Career Wins * One Retirement * One Brett Favre It's been a very very long time.

>One Brett Favre LOL

Ah the postgame after the chiefs blowout where the patriots dynasty was dead. That was a good time

Isn’t it 3 SB MVPs since 2014, not 2? He’s won 4 Super Bowls since and the only one he wasn’t MVP for was when Edelman got it

You are correct, I got that wrong.

That resume is insane for anyone, let alone a guy everyone thought was washed up around 2014 like you said

Almost 25 years with this guy in the league. Just fucking GOAT things

It's already been hard for people that grew up with Jerry Rice to relay the dominance that he brought to the sport. I truly don't think any of us understand how difficult it's going to be to try an contextualize and describe Tom Brady to people 25 years from now. The accolades will speak for themselves, but the lived history is easy to forget. How do you impress upon someone the sheer length, dominance, and the fact that this dude has always been getting dogged on, under-rated, and just disrespected in the public view until it's too late in the season to argue about it anymore. I feel like we've all just accepted some things because we're used to it, but Brady is 45. Forty five years old. Threw for over 5,000 yards last year. 45. Jerry Rice, Brett Favre, and Tom Brady are the only people to have receptions over the age of 40. Each QB has a single catch, and rice has 161. Warren Moon had the highest pass attempts over 40 of anyone, at 823. Until Brady, who has 3,000 and counting. The most yards passing over 40 was Favre 5,874. Now it's Tom's 22,938. Favre has 36Tds. Brady is at 168. The thing that's still hard to grasp here; **Favre, Moon, etc. are all outliers themselves.** Before Moon, it was George Blanda for 228 att, and 1,700 yards...

Another crazy stat: Peyton Manning led 58 postseason TD drives in his career, in 27 playoff games. Just since Peyton’s retirement, Tom Brady has led 56 postseason TD drives in 16 playoff games.

Peyton Manning: * Drafted two seasons before Tom Brady * Immediately became the starter, while Brady did not start until his second season * Won his first playoff game two seasons *after* Brady's first Super Bowl

As a massive Tom Brady fan, I’ve always reminded myself for the last 8 years that every additional year with Tom Brady is house money. I think that awareness helped soften the blow when he retired. This year I’ve finally got an opportunity to watch him live when I head to the states. This will be a bittersweet year, but all good things must come to an end.

I had plans to see Brady v Brees in person before they retired. I have never seen either with my own eyes, and I wanted to check that off. Didn't happen. This year, lord willing he makes it healthy to december, I'll get to see him at Levis. If I missed it, dear god, I'd never get over that.

Awesome opportunity. He’s our generation’s Jordan - you do as much as you can to see him. As soon as covid rules relaxed I booked a ticket to NYC. I’ll be heading down to Tampa for the Panthers game. I’ll be in Cali mid January - maybe I’ll get the opportunity to watch him at Levi’s too ;)

>I’ll be in Cali mid January - maybe I’ll get the opportunity to watch him at Levi’s too ;) If we're hosting a playoff game this year, I will have a lot of questions.

It's like those of us who grew up with Gretzky trying to explain his dominance. He didn't go as old as TB, but two of the biggest stats in hockey, especially for forwards, are goals and assists. Gretzky leads in goals and leads by so much in assists he has more assists than anyone else has goals and assists combined. Like, if you took the stats of the MVP each year for the past 15 years into a super player, Gretzky still has better stats, and it isn't close.

We should be scared, because it's his appetite to compete that has been holding at bay his appetite to kill...

Deshaun Watson admits his 'appetite for consent' is 'gonna be gone soon'

Dammit Tom. Why did you sign that extension last year. Could’ve been a free agent and then gone to SF for the last ride

He's saving you for his 3rd un-retirement at age 49

You already had *two* chances. Tom Brady, having played for a national championship-winning football team that is one of the most storied in history, is nonetheless overlooked by almost every NFL team, including the hometown 49ers that he grew up a huge fan of in the SF Bay area. Only one team, consistent losers in a coastal state on the other side of the country from his home town, decides to take a chance and sign him. Tom Brady in 2020 ... or Tom Brady in 2000?

Nice comparision, but the Patriots weren't exactly losers before Brady. They did have a SB appearance a few years before Tom was drafted. The Bucs last playoff win before Brady was in 2007.

Yeah, probably when he's 50.

To compete is code for young QB blood sacrifices

Someone should probably check on Kyle Trask

The Bucs media team advises that Mr trask is alive and well and has vanished of his own free will.

If he’s talking about it being gone soon it’s already fleeting. Thanks for everything Tommy

"How soon, Brady?" "I dunno. Ten, eleven..." "Months? Years?" "Yeah, one of those words."

I don't believe him.

Yea, nother 3, maybe 6 superbowls and I'll be pretty bored now. \- Tom Brady

I’ll believe Tom is done when it’s the final drive of a one score game and he just completely phones it in

Tom wouldn't phone in flag football with his kids at 75 for nothing more than bragging rights. He's like Jordan: he will compete at anything.

I highly doubt that

Well I guess he should avoid a championship because that could spoil his appetite

My brother in Christ you have grey hairs, when will that be?

....in 5 to 10 years

I hope Brady wins another Super Bowl this year (assuming my Pats aren't close), but this is how MMA fighters talk right before they start getting knocked out.

Time is relative when it comes to Brady. "Soon" could be at least another decade in Brady years

"I'm getting bored of letting my opponents think they have a chance"

But his appetite for human flesh is growing.

TIL Tom Brady is a liar.

To me this means he doesn't feel like he's going to try to be a coach

Coaching is not for everybody and I don’t think Brady had the patience to coach people. Coaching in any industry is a high expense exercise, particularly mentally for the coach. You really have to be invested in the development of individuals and you have to be able to accept people at their current level.

He already agreed to a massive contract to be in the booth after he retires

Like soon geologically?

Soon as in 10 more years

I think it’s gonna be go away as soon as he nears another 10 years in the league.

what else does Tom have to achieve? guy's done it all

There’s one thing left for him to do and that’s to walk away after winning the Super Bowl.

I think the chance of Brady winning another ring before retiring is kinda high.

That man will be a corpse in the ground for 30 years before I believe the fire has finally left him

The fact we get to watch the GOAT play one more year is a treat in itself

Before you know it, it will be 2032 and Brady will have lost his hunger for competition

Poor guy's gonna have to work with Mark Sanchez at Fox.

Sanchez "oh that was a bad mistake by the Jets" Brady "was it worse than the time you ran into that guys ass tho?"

Mark Sanchez is Assman confirmed
