With the kind of speed he never displayed on the actual football field, Tom Brady has reversed course and decided to unretire from the NFL. He stated on various social media accounts that he’ll be back in Tampa Bay for the 2022 season. “These past two months I’ve realized my place is still on the field and not in the stands,” Brady tweeted. “That time will come. But it’s not now. I love my teammates, and I love my supportive family. They make it all possible. I’m coming back for… Source link

Tom Brady’s retirement lasted 40 days. After seemingly leaving the door cracked for a potential return since announcing his departure from the NFL on February 1, Brady announced his return on social media Sunday. It’s a consequential moment not only for Brady — who finished the 2021 season second in the league’s MVP voting — but also for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who had been mulling over whether to pursue a Deshaun Watson trade this week. As recently as the NFL combine last week,… Source link

Former Tampa Bay Buccaneers receiver Antonio Brown called out Tom Brady and Bruce Arians again in an Instagram post Monday. That post, which was deleted, showed an X-ray image of Brown’s injured ankle. Over the X-ray of his injured ankle, Brown wrote a message calling out Brady for not throwing Brown the ball and said Arians told Brown to “get the f*** out of here.” That message, which contains profanity, read: “They tried to hurt me intentionally @buccaneers “Sent me out there after knowing I… Source link

Now that Tom Brady has been retired for a few weeks, the inevitable stories of discord and disharmony between him and Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians have started to bubble up.

Fanatics founder and CEO Michael Rubin is going to miss the legend that is Tom Brady. In part it reflects Rubin’s (who is partial owner in the Philadelphia 76ers) love of all things sports, but also because his online sports apparel giant sells a ton of Brady gear. “Nobody has ever sold more jerseys in the history of our company, in the history of sports than Tom Brady. He is literally a selling machine,” Rubin said on Yahoo Finance Live. “We thought when he played for the Patriots and won… Source link

The biggest question since Tom Brady retired is what he’ll be doing with himself now that he’s done as a professional football quarterback. Everyone has an opinion, but Eli Manning, who is also a retired quarterback, thinks he knows what Brady won’t be doing. TMZ Sports caught up with Manning recently and asked him how he thought Brady would do as a broadcaster. Manning didn’t have an answer for that, because he doesn’t think Brady will be jumping into the TV game with him, his brother, Drew… Source link

Tom Brady fan and former long-time Boston mayor Marty Walsh is wishing the NFL legend all the best in retirement. That’s even as the star QB didn’t shower New England Patriots fans with love initially when he announced his retirement this week. “Tom Brady brought a lot of joy to New England. Six Super Bowls we were in. Ten Super Bows all together. We won six. I want to commend Tom Brady on his retirement,” Walsh, now U.S. Labor Secretary, said on Yahoo Finance Live.

When Michael Jordan retired at the height of his popularity, the NBA soon learned a hard truth. It had no heir to Air Jordan, no emerging superstar prepared to step into Jordan’s high tops and drive revenue and viewership. In 1998, a record TV audience tuned in to watch Jordan’s “Last Dance” Chicago Bulls capture their sixth and final NBA title. In 1999, the NBA no longer had Jordan to sell and ratings for the Finals plummeted to an 18-year low. The NBA’s post-Jordan ratings decline… Source link
