Some call him the G.O.A.T of Football.
That’s greatest of all time.
Some call him the “The Real Slim Brady”.
Some call him Mr 199.
He was the 199th pick out of 254 in the NFL draft 2000.
We laughed when we found out he lost millions to Sam and FTX.
We laughed when we found out that his wife, ex-Supermodel Giselle, left him.
We laughed when he announced that he was retiring in 2022.
We laughed when we found out he couldn’t stay retired and wanted to go back to the NFL after just 40 days.
And now some people are laughing that he is in fact, retiring, again.
It is easy to judge.
But Tom has done one thing consistently over his lifetime.
He has proven people wrong again and again.
Never bet against Tom Brady.
Never.
Sure he made some questionable decisions.
Backing and supporting FTX and being chummy with Sam was probably a weird one.
But I am certain, like many others, he didn’t know the shady stuff that SBF was doing in the dark.
He retires as the NFL’s oldest active player at age 45.
He has played 23 seasons of professional football.
Most of us won’t ever see the insides of an NFL changing room.
“Brady WON 286 games in his career, including seven Super Bowls, and threw 737 touchdowns in the regular season and playoffs, combined”.
Most new players in the NFL will never ever come close to any of those stats in their careers.
Brilliantly, he signed a “10-year, $375 million deal with Fox to become the network’s primary analyst beginning whenever he decided to retire.”
This is the largest contract in sportscasting history.
Media and sports are a booming industry.
There are lots of opportunities and money to be made.
Translation: Tom will make more money TALKING about football than playing it.
By comparison, he made $332M over the 23 years slugging it out on the field.
He is a walking gold mine.
Those millions he probably lost in FTX?
Chump change.
Of course, it still doesn’t vindicate him from shamelessly promoting it and inducing others to buy.
But it does show that he is a pretty smart businessman who can take a bad situation and turn it into an even brighter future for himself.
Well, when you’re as talented and accomplished as Tom Brady, there’s no such thing as failure.
No matter what life throws at you, you can always make it work for you.
That’s the power of having a positive mindset and relentless determination.
It will be exciting to watch Tom continue his career as he transitions from one of the greatest quarterbacks in history to a commentator and analyst.
I’m sure all football fans are looking forward to hearing his take on the game.
Peyton Manning did it and it great for football.
Shaquille O’Neal did it and it was phenomenal.
His on-screen chemistry and passive-aggressive banter with Charles Barkley is second to none.
Well, do you think Tom Brady is going to crush it as a commentator?
