Imagine telling Michael Jordan to go away in 97 or 98. Football fans are weird man. 

Tom Brady isn't in his prime, he's just jerking everyone off for attention. If you want to stay, stay. If you want to go, go. I'm sick of this Favre/Rodgers bull****.

Statistically Brady had a great year last year, his highest yardage total ever (extra game) but QBR and TDs / ints we're very similar to the previous year. Dude is playing at a level others can only dream about.

 

I don't like the retired / now I'm not charade either. And I really don't like he's back to terrorize the league again. Makes the NFC playoff picture harder to navigate. Rodgers, Brady, and to a lesser extent Stafford are QBs I'd rather not see in the playoffs.

 

The good news is Dalass now has to play Brady again this year.

Unfinished business being his kids aren't grown yet, so he's actively trying to be away from home... 

 

Or if his wife is like mine and said for god sake just go to work and out of the house like normal people. The way my IT business is setup I don't have an office to go to and she hates it when I ask for water or food while sitting on my recliner and on my laptop doing work...lol

He wasn't ready  to retire and his family was fine with it.

This isn't Favre. Favre threaten to retire for 2-3  years before he did. Part of the reason they drafted Rodgers, was Brett's indecisiveness.  Brett unretired in the summer; Packers already moved on. They had to trade him. 

 

Aaron is a big attention who're.

 

At least Tom unretired before free agency. So, Tampa can resign some of the players. They already lost a player to Bengals

By 98 Mike was not in his prime, he was just starting from a much higher position and so could still dominate. Like Brady.

 

He probably met with Glazers to actually ask if he could go to his childhood team and when they said no they said give us one more year and we'll re-tool.

I imagine it went down something like this:

So, Fox Sports gave Tom $375 million to be their new analyst; once he's done playing. 10 year deal.

That means this might REALLY be his final season.

This contract actually might make Tom’s take home not just petty cash in the Bundchen household.

Gisele is currently worth (Independant if Tommy) $400M.

 

Tom Terrific is “only” worth $250M.

 

If anybody has won life. It’s them.  Beautiful, successful and massively rich. 
 

And some football douchery aside, they seem like good people and great parents.  

 

[SkinsFTW]

But it's pretty crazy that he's going to make more per season not playing football than he ever did playing it. 

 

That's just crazy money. What if he ends up sucking worse than Witten or Brees lol.
