#10 for Brady
#2
😎 When you're good, you're good. Age has nothing to do with it long as you can still deliver the goods!
My own experience: since I retired I still get calls from the plant about things they can't figure out. One of 'em called last year and I told the kid "you called me an old wore-out nag shortly before I left. Go f*** yourself."
When a different one who had always been a pleasure to work with called an hour later for the same thing, I gave him what he needed to know.
And Tom Brady is a way better QB than I ever was a powerplant operator! And still delivers!

I got ten years left till 25 in and I can retire with benefits. It is usually touch and go most days.

As for Tom Brady, I was never a Brady fan but I don't think it was Brady, personally I think it was the Bilichick/Brady combo and the fact that I was getting tired of the Patriots every year. Tom Brady the Q.B. he will go down in history as the best ever, he's got the rings to back it up and the career froth with comebacks and last minute heroics. Few if any will play as long as he has.
You have to look no further than the fact that he joined a team (the Bucs) that had talent but was going no where and now their going to the Superbowl. The proof is in the pudding !!! P/S X2 on telling the guy to go ---- himself !!

Being from Michigan I was a Brady fan until he left U of M for New England. Then, like Solly, it wasn't so much Brady personally I disliked, it was the New England, Kraft, Belichick, Brady culture of win at all costs that pissed me off. All the times Belichick was caught stealing signs/signals and spying on other teams, and who can forget Brady's "Inflategate"! New England was too good to have to stoop to that kind of sh#%! They have their trophies, but lost all honor and respect in my eyes!

Deflategate is *the* dumbest allegation of cheating, though. The NFL permits each team to have their own set of footballs to use on offense, so the QB of each team can have their ***** at whatever pressure they want, so long as it's within the prescribed psi. I don't think being slightly underinflated gives a team a particular advantage, especially if you've ever tried to catch a ball from an NFL QB. There's a reason why pro receivers are pros, because they can catch and run.
Now that Brady is in his 10th SB, this time with another team, just proves that he isn't a cheater. It proves he made a deal with the devil! (I'm joking, of course, but it sure makes me wonder....)

Brady is the current GOAT for sure. When he starts running out of fingers with Super Bowl rings, I think he'll retire. It ain't braggin' if you can back it up. And he does. It's not JUST him though. It's the rest of the team. They're playing like they want it. Sometimes it takes a great player to inject a bit more confidence in an already capable team. I think he was that one piece of glue the Bucs needed to get over the hump.
But make no mistake. Pat Mahomes is going to get better and better the way he's going. As long as he doesn't get killed out there when scrambling, I think he'll be another one that could make a run for GOAT. What, he just got in 46 total games? And been in the playoffs all 3 seasons he's been in the league (ok, 1 regular game in 2018) and already 2 trips to the Bowl. He's only 8 Super Bowls away from Brady's record. And only lost once in the playoffs so far. Not saying he's going to catch up or pass Tom Terrific, but he's off to a great start. You have to admit, he's pretty darn good for a "kid". To me, Brady is more "old" school, like a Montana. Poised, stoic, knows the field and reads defenses like a ****. Right now, nobody better, IMO. But Mahomes is "new" school.
Sadly, I'm a Rams fan, first in LA, then St. Louis, then back in LA. My gloating moments in life is beating Seattle. Everything else is gravy. No worries if Mahomes or Brady loses, I don't care all that much, but I still respect both guys' mad skills with the football. Gotta give credit where credit is due. And although they're not on my teams, it's going to be two of the best quarterbacks out there. Not saying a Rodgers/Allen SB wouldn't have been somewhat fun, but, well, they lost. Maybe next year.

The deflategate was proven to be b/s by science majors, in many Colleges , most not even in N.E.
The best part is the team that started these "stories" both got caught pulling the same crap next season. pfft.

I have to respectfully disagree with you on your Deflategate position. I played 12-years of organized football, four at the college level as a slot receiver. The biggest advantage gained from an under inflated ball is not by the receiver, but by the QB throwing it, especially in cold, damp weather. The ball is significantly easier to throw in cold or damp conditions if it is under inflated because the QB can get a much firmer grip on the ball. I firmly believe Brady is the GOAT, his stats and championships prove this. I just don't respect him for feeling like he had to gain an unfair advantage to do it, the same goes for Belechick!
The hate for the THAT team overtook logic,reason and science. People want to believe what they believe. The ones screaming the loudest were those that had records about to fall. That told the story and big picture. 4 other teams caught videotaping, non story, Pats get reported doing it the world loses their minds. Some saw it for what it was.
Oh, and I am not a pats fan, or a fan of football . But I saw it for what it was.

Nice to see not everyone believes the hype. If people really investigated the bs and the exact allegations, they would realize its just that BS. Jealousy and resentment is rampant in today's society and no place more than professional sports. When your on top, people love to see you fall.

We will see if Belichick turns out like Shannahan here in Denver. Everyone thought he was the man. Once Elway was gone he didn't/couldn't win squat. I predict the same for Belichick.
I really don't see Brady losing this game. Mahomes is a good young quarterback. He keeps running the ball and that carrer will be short lived. He is already hurt. More than they are letting on. Quarterbacks that rely on trickery and running too much pay the price..
By the way nice pickup of Cam the sham Newton. Once Denver kicked his over confident smack talking *** in the Superbowl he was never the same. Never will be. Chump. Plenty of reasons no other team would pick him up. He sucks!

One thing I have noticed about getting older and retiring (this could be a good thing or a bad thing) I care way less about what people think about me or what I do! and I am far more likely to let them know that. It doesn't mean I wont help when called upon as long as it's a honest request and not born of laziness.
Enjoy the moment. You'll be happier.
