Yeah but Tiger was breaking down before that even. Body wasn’t holding up. LeBron now with all the millions he spends each year on the body starting to break down…. Just makes it so amazing what Brady did. Naturally! (most guys I’m skeptical but with TB the secret seems to be seaweed shakes).

 

What separates Brady for me is that he was never supposed to be any good. He was under threat of being replaced for most of his life in high school and college and this lanky motherf***er ends up with more Superbowls than any individual team. Big Ben, Brees, Rivers, etc. started seriously diminishing as they approached 40. Brady can still throw bombs at 44.

 

What's really hilarious to me is how people make fun of his TB12 stuff. This guy is literally defying time like no athlete in history, so let's make fun of the vitamins and supplements and s*** he takes, because surely he has no idea what he's doing. Ends up marrying a supermodel who makes more money than he does, breaks every record and looks like he could play for another 3-4 years.

 

No question for me that Brady is the ultimate GOAT. Gretzky is the only one even close.

That's a pretty compelling argument. One thing I really appreciate about Brady is his ability to absolutely dominant without elite athleticism. Nobody in history has gotten so much out of a rather average body. His preparation and mental game is next level.

Tom Brady GOAT, all sports?

 

For sure. Has to be one of the Top 3 athletes of all time in my opinion, across all sports.

I think he could have played another 2 or 3 seasons easily at a high level. Probably could have even played till 50 if he wanted to.

 

What he has accomplished since 2001/2002, nobody else in the NFL has accomplished or even has come close during that time period. Happy to have witnessed greatness for these last two decades and even getting the chance to see his last two games live!

What a crazy story this Dolphins coach is. I mean, the story is mostly about the Rooney rule, which is stupid imo but I know there’s other opinions. Also, Billy B’s texts give the story most of its meat……however…

 

One thing that’s totally getting glossed over (so far in articles I’ve read), is that the Dolphins owner offered him $100k bonus to lose games lol. The curtain really got pulled back there.

"and includes texts he alleges are from New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick demonstrating that the Giants conducted an interview with Flores while knowing that they intended to hire Brian Daboll as head coach."

 

I don't get that from the BB text messages included in that yahoo story at all. I get that BB text the wrong guy and inadvertently jammed half his foot down his throat by accident. Terrible look for BB, but nothing to suggest the Giants just interviewed him to meet the Rooney Rules.

The text was a few days before the interview is what I understand.

Yeah, it was before the interview, lol. Brutal.

I like it. It's sounds like the name of an XFL team.

 

E: k, just looked at the pics of the uniform and my god they are going to give the Rams a run for their money.

How do you call a celebration penalty in the Super Bowl. Wet blankets

How does a player not understand they can't do that?

[Abomination]

Lol, enjoyed that Dr. Evil GM commercial.

[P2F]

I can't take these Questrade commercials.

[Abomination]

The Disney+ GOAT commercial was amusing.

[connorp]

Wow. Make up call

[John Balkabella]

Rams fan since the Roman Gabriel days.

 

Very happy right now.

[Boxcar]

I can't take these Questrade commercials.

 

I was on the fence but then I saw some smug piece of s*** tell me I was a stupid moron for not having a QuestLife that I made the switch. Now I pay low fees instead of no fees, take that mom and dad's banker guy!

 

Pretty mediocre superbowl. So sad, such an opportunity wasted. Rams got lucky that they faced the 5th or 6th best team in the AFC so that their plan of trading every draft pick for the next ten years is justified.

[Spanky99]

Nothing wrong with that game, one score was the difference for the entirety of the game with good defense, just sour grapes me thinks on your part Boxy. I enjoyed it just fine. I was rooting for an AFC Bengal win, but congrats goes out to the Rams.

Of course it was sour grapes, but, while I am happy for the Bengals, no one would be surprised if they missed the playoffs next season.

 

I also just saw this image and threw up

 

That is the hand of Greg Rousseau and the football kicked by Harrison Butker to tie the game. Pain.

lol... that is gross. I think Burrow made a significant step in the second half and playoffs and he'll just get better as Allen did, they'll be a team to reckon with for sometime now. I already can't wait for next season, you see this postseason's QBR rating... Josh Allen was a 94.3 or something... that's phenomenal video game s*** right there.

They may want to make sure Burrow doesn’t get sacked 8x a game

You think they won't?

Allen had two of the best playoff games of all time, back to back. Best QB in the NFL, and most talented from a traits standpoint that we've ever seen. I'll fight anyone who says otherwise.

[Boxcar]

Well, he busted his knee because of awful protection and then returned to experience equally awful protection so I certainly wouldn't put money on it.

This is true - I thought they made a huge mistake taking Chase over Sewell, but it appears they were 100% correct in that call. I think they shore up the OL this offseason, add to the D and are a force for the next 5+ years myself.

Seriously? You just posted the very reason they'll be finding protection... Da Fuq? That would be an embarrassingly bad mistake and fireable offense.
