King Colt Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 This morning on Boomer & Gio they discussed Brady's "last TD passed" football bought recently for $518,000. So, he is not retiring and the question is what is that ball worth now? There are many questions attached to this transaction and I would like to see how it turns out.

teganslaw Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Someone spending over $500,000 for a football can probably afford to take the loss if it turns out worthless. It can be considered the "last TD football" before his 40 day retirement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She remembers his time in Washington and doesn't think very highly of him. I agree with that fan. If you look at his stats alone, he looks great. However, he does not step up when needed. What bothers me most is that he plays as if he does not understand situational football. Do you recall the Super Bowl in which the Falcons were up something like 28-3? The situation called for using up clock time and getting easy first downs. However, Matt Ryan was passing it and stopping the clock. That is what Cousins would do.

Maybe as the season wound down he was leaning toward retirement. My guess is that he wanted to take some time (say a month or two, soon enough to not leave Tampa in a bind) to make up his mind. Then the story comes out way sooner than anticipated, and he's sort of put on the spot to make a decision. He opts to retire, but quickly regrets that choice. Then he spends a month trying to convince G, lol... I don't know, but given what we know to be true, that explanation seems as likely as any. 15 minutes ago, 2006Coltsbestever said: I never really thought he was going retire.

The whole thing (Brady's retirement) felt forced somehow, like it was all happening the wrong way, and for the wrong reasons. Manning went out properly and "on top" as you said. I don't know how the Bucs will look next year but obviously at this point the only reason he's going to keep playing is to win SBs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But sometimes emotion can cloud judgment, and you've never made your disdain for Brady a secret. He didn't announce his retirement until the "leak" forced his hand. And if he had waited longer to "un-retire," what position does that leave Tampa in, with no legitimate starting QB and the draft right around the corner? To plan accordingly for the draft, free agency, etc., wouldn't it be a "the sooner the better" situation with him coming out of his very brief retirement? Just didn't think it was fair to cut straight to, "He's an attention (you know what)."

All most remember is Peyton won a SB in his last season and got #2 and went out a winner. I won't lie, I did root for Seattle in Denver's 1st SB with Manning. The rivalry was still pretty strong back then. But then after the Patriots won their 4th, I actually found myself wanting to see Manning go out with another title. I also admittedly didn't want Newton to win one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not my total criteria (gee whiz, you are impossible and I already said Brady was even the GOAT) but it factors in, winning SB's is also a criteria but it takes a great team to win a SB. Yeah 7-2 I get it but Peyton has won 2 and to say MVP's are a joke is utterly funny. Besides winning the SB that is the best accolade any player can win. You just degrade it because Peyton has won 5, if Brady had 5 you would think winning MVP was very important. To dismiss that Peyton is 3-1 vs Brady in Championship games shows me this discussion will go nowhere - Homer actually got angry and broke out of that headlock, then it was over for the devil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You probably think Mac Jones is better than Peyton and Carson Wentz beat him - you said the Pats would smoke us all week and I told you we would win.
