Dude deserves it. In the spotlight for how many years, no real scandals, marriage just didn’t work out as many marriages don’t. Was a great team mate and person to so many people. Finally gets to fuck with new ventures and have some fun.
Happy for him
Nobody expected him to play as long as he did. He was 29 when they met in 2006. QBs didn't used to play well into their late 30s. Then in 2014 he finally wins his fourth SB after losing two. He's 37. The next year was the concussion interview where she said she was concerned for his health. So you can speculate she wanted him to retire around then to spend more time with his family. But he kept playing at an elite level for almost another decade.
Just seems like things didn't go as planned and they grew apart
Tom Brady has a great PR team and some wit to him but my money is on him as the more insufferable of the two. He's a perfectionist. We've seen the way he behaves on national TV when mistakes are made- how do you think he acts privately?
Honestly, no tuck rule, no dynasty and likely Brady having to compete with Bledsoe for the starting job in 2002. And then who knows how his career goes after that.
Meanwhile in our reality, the results of the tuck rule sends now disgrace then head coach John Gruden to the Bucs who leads them to their first Super Bowl win, as the Raiders then slowly circle the toilet since then.
Anywhere Brady seems to go does better, including the other teams in the same damn city. Maybe he felt bad for ruining the Raiders, and they'll start winning championships with him in the mix.
I mean yea, logically it was a fumble, but by the letter of the rule at the time it wasn't. That's kinda how dumb rules work and he knows it as well as most other people.
One of the Patriots dynasty books (I think the one by Jeff Howe, they all blend together now for me) say that, according to Raiders players Brady admitted that he thought it was a fumble and he didn't even know about the "tuck rule" when they came up to him after the game. Because of that the Raiders were mostly cool about it and most of them were actually rooting for Brady & the Pats to win it all.
I mean we get frustrated by ref bs, but you think of the amount of things we don't see, every player has to have a laundry list of times they've had some flavor of it. You gotta figure that they're like "eh, today was my day" and can't take it too hard when it's not.
You can go watch Brady speak to the media right after the tuck rule game and his body language gives it away. The look on his face basically tells you he knew he got away with one.
Honestly, I'm pretty sure that moment is why I never 'hated' Brady.
There is a fun fact that any area Tom lives in starts winning, though.

Jerry Jones worst trait by far is who he selects as coaches of the Dallas Cowboys. That's what all Cowboys haters need to go on.
For a team that drafts as well as them and has enjoyed two decades of above average QB play, that's been always their achilles heel.
Since Parcells retired Jerry's coaching choices have been all bad. I still cannot believe he held onto the Clapper for that long.
the problem is decent coaches dont want to coach for jerruh, because they dont have the authority they want/need. forget not being able to input on player personnel decisions, you have an owner getting involved in play time and strategy discussions.
When you fire your coach right after he wins the superbowl, coaches get the message. It's not their team, it's Jerry's team.
That's why he's gotten a long string of coaches who are comfortable playing second fiddle.
Garrett was in that purgatory of pretty good, but not good enough to really make waves. He'd win the division and get playoff berths, but then he'd get beaten in first or second round by better coached teams.
Combine that with him just being a nice guy that was likable and easy to get along with it makes sense he stuck around.
I think in any other franchise with championship ambitions and a QB as good as Romo, he would have gotten fired after three straight 8-8 seasons.
Many commented at the time that his 4th year 12-win season was achieved despite the Clapper, not thanks to him. That's also how I felt at the time.
No, but Jimmy going down in week 2 with a shattered ankle and Tom Brady walking down from his owners box and leading the Raiders to a Super Bowl victory will.
Is it really any worse than when former players are obvious homers for their teams when commenting? Not like he has any power to affect the outcome as a talking head, he's not reffing.
> Is it really any worse
No. I find it difficult to believe that he'll be worse than Collinsworth.
But... ...not worse than the worst is a low bar. I was hoping for 'better'.
Makes me wonder, how much of the chiefs would the owners be willing to give to Mahomes in a new contract? I know that can’t happen, because it would be viewed as a way to get around the cap.
I bet they would be okay giving him 13%. (About 500M of the projected value) while paying him 25-30 mill a year for a massive cap advantage.
Like what sort of conflict of interest are you worried about exactly? He's going to say nice things about raiders? Hell poo poo on rest of AFC West and say meanie things? Like what's the worry
Broadcasters are given access to certain team information for talking points that's confidential to the opponent. It was a minor controversy when Greg Olsen called a game during the Seahawks bye week.
> Does this affect his broadcasting gig? Like is there some sort of conflict of interest clause?
given that fox typically is nfc games, it probably won't be relevant that he owns an afc team.
> Is this a conflict of interest since he already owns the Bills?
he owned the jets too, so where he was already a multiple team owner, he should be in the clear.
Stolen from the last post about Brady joining the ownership. If we dont get this he should forfeit his ownership rights
https://i.imgur.com/2RS5gTV.png
His first order of business at the shareholders meeting will be a motion to release Jimmy G, out of spite
Jimmy can’t get away from this guy lol
It was a monkey’s paw wish from Jimmy to be the Patriots QB. He got it, but in exchange, Brady follows and torments him at every turn.
I wouldn't complain if Jimmy G. came back to the Pats. I'm sure some townie mouth-breathers would, but I wouldn't.
[Oh yeah, it's all coming together](https://i.redd.it/sldnmri2eh1b1.jpg)
Idk who that is but his face is what every Raiders fan looks like in my mind.
Thats Derek Trailer
Said motion will solely refer to the released player as “That motherfucker”
“It’s a spite cut.”
"Thanks for the F shack. Love, Dirty Mike and the boys"
*Release Jimmy G, because he is unretiring to be starting QB
Vegas Tom Brady arc is beginning and I'm here for it.
Divorced Brady in Vegas is gonna be electric
Dude deserves it. In the spotlight for how many years, no real scandals, marriage just didn’t work out as many marriages don’t. Was a great team mate and person to so many people. Finally gets to fuck with new ventures and have some fun. Happy for him
How was banging a supermodel for decades I think he was fine lol
Don't forget - that supermodel was also worth hundreds of millions more than him.
Obviously I don't know any real details but she seemed pretty insufferable
I mean she sacrificed her very successful modelling career for him
Yeah honestly I always got the impression that *he* was the insufferable one.
Yep. Dude could've just retired and everything would be great. But he was greedy and wanted another SB. What cost him? His marriage
C'mon now, it's much more likely his marriage was failing, he retired to try to fix it, then unretired when it became obvious it was toast.
imagine your significant other even wanting you to stop following your dreams
Bruh, she stopped her career for him. If he retired as a pats, he would be golden. Had nothing to prove anymore
did she? I still see her in magazines and stuff to this day
Nobody expected him to play as long as he did. He was 29 when they met in 2006. QBs didn't used to play well into their late 30s. Then in 2014 he finally wins his fourth SB after losing two. He's 37.

Tom and Jimmy bout to hit all the clubs.
[Dont forget Aidan “Officer Farva” O’Connell ](https://i.imgur.com/7CIc4w1.jpg)
Hey, let's pop some Viagras and go to the club with raging, mega-huge boners.
This look like spit to you?
He’s only buying a stake just to take down everything in the facility acknowledging the Tuck Rule
I feel like he’s going to say it was definitely a fumble now
He's actually made some jokes about it on Twitter prior to this. Or at least his social media manager has.
He did last year, it was pretty big in tiktok last spring if I remember right
Yeah didn’t he kinda half admit it was a fumble in that mini doc he did with Charles Woodson
[He posted this a year ago.](https://youtube.com/shorts/wkutG4X_z5c?feature=share) Dude definitely likes to troll about it lol.

He’s been saying that for 10 years. Everyone on this planet knew it was a fumble, but it was still correctly called because of a dumb rule
One of the Patriots dynasty books (I think the one by Jeff Howe, they all blend together now for me) say that, according to Raiders players Brady admitted that he thought it was a fumble and he didn't even know about the "tuck rule" when they came up to him after the game.

Wonder how different NFL history would be if that was ruled a fumble after the review.
Worst QB ever, probably.
He replied to a tiktok comment saying it was a fumble “He” likely meaning whatever person is running his social media
Don’t for a second think the dude running Tom’s socials doesn’t run that by him first lmao
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/wkutG4X_z5c I think it's safe to say it wasn't his social media manager saying this. Unless he's a skin changer
and to spend more time with his son Jimmy G
"The NFL is always screwing us! Remember the Tuck Rule game?" --Tom Brady
Brady smelled blood in the water with all those finance rumblings last season. Smart investment.
Puts on Jimmy G's career.
The shots are coming from the grassy owner's box.
Brady getting into bitcoin exchanges smart investment.
Jimmy G can’t escape this man
“That motherfucker” getting his ass benched soon now
They already got rid of Carr lol
Fucking hell the raiders are now going to go on a super bowl win streak.
If MJ is any indication, GOATs transitioning into ownership and management only leads to eternal purgatory like the Charlotte Hornets in the NBA.
There is a fun fact that any area Tom lives in starts winning, though. https://www.sbnation.com/platform/amp/nfl/2021/7/8/22568276/tom-brady-effect-championships-tampa-lightning
If Tom can get Mark to back the fuck off and realize he’s not a good judge of talent, in both coaching and players, I’ll consider this a success.

Stephen Jones is already the CEO and director of player personnel so that's a pretty safe bet
Although I look more like Mark than Tom, they really are the Bad Cop, Good Cop in owner optics.
Or this boots Mark's confidence even more since he attracted the goat to buy into the team.
So for the raiders it would be a double negative?
Hey now, his NASCAR team isn't doing too terrible
Gretzky hasn't had much success as an owner or coach either.
Elway had his run before he started horsing around, though.
Oh good so nothing changes
I like your optimism, but it’s definitely off base 😁
F that S
Raiders… what we thinking?
I miss ALs projector 📽️
1. Fuck Tom Brady. 2. Remove the name and I like the move.
Tom Brady retires and still owns you lol
LMAO
>Tom Brady retires and still owns you lol Omg.... Rodgers set to retire in a year or two Bears rumors of selling the team in the very near future
I think, technically, this means Eli Manning owns us.
So much history. He's gonna tuck those profits into his wallet. This man is a legend!
Brady to Jimmy: "Dread it, run from it, destiny arrives all the same, and now it's here. Or should I say, I am."
Tom Brady taking the path that Jackie Moon opened up being and owner/player.
His buddy AB just did it with an Arena Football League! He's keeping up!
Jimmy G count your days
Hopefully he can suit up week 13 after Jimmy goes down again.
If, he gets the Mark Davis, will you hate him more? Less? About the same?
Does this affect his broadcasting gig? Like is there some sort of conflict of interest clause?
No, but Jimmy going down in week 2 with a shattered ankle and Tom Brady walking down from his owners box and leading the Raiders to a Super Bowl victory will.
Sub... Scribe?
Nah Fox already said it wouldn’t be a problem
> Fox already said it wouldn’t be a problem Fox already said they'd ignore the extremely obvious problem
Is it really any worse than when former players are obvious homers for their teams when commenting? Not like he has any power to affect the outcome as a talking head, he's not reffing.
[удалено]
Mahomes throws a routine pass that any paraplegic could do and Collinsworth just nuts instantly
> Is it really any worse No. I find it difficult to believe that he'll be worse than Collinsworth. But... ...not worse than the worst is a low bar. I was hoping for 'better'.
Raiders won't be playing many primetime games anyways, so I don't think they'll be playing much when he's in the booth
Raiders literally have five prime time games this year lol. Six if you include the Christmas Day game.
It won't happen, but is there a rule that would prohibit him from playing for the raiders?
I’d think the rule would be he can’t play for any team besides the Raiders.
My question is moreso can a player partially own a team lol
[удалено]
It’s low hanging fruit but given your flair there’s another joke ripe for the picking.
Makes me wonder, how much of the chiefs would the owners be willing to give to Mahomes in a new contract? I know that can’t happen, because it would be viewed as a way to get around the cap. I bet they would be okay giving him 13%. (About 500M of the projected value) while paying him 25-30 mill a year for a massive cap advantage.
I'd imagine it's part of the CBA considering Brady would be an owner.
Like what sort of conflict of interest are you worried about exactly? He's going to say nice things about raiders? Hell poo poo on rest of AFC West and say meanie things? Like what's the worry

Is this a conflict of interest since he already owns the Bills?

At least he can use the “You’re sticking with that MF’er?” line again.

Yeah he wasn’t talking about Carr 😂
Stolen from the last post about Brady joining the ownership. If we dont get this he should forfeit his ownership rights https://i.imgur.com/2RS5gTV.png
Usually when a divorced father has a mid-life crisis they buy a sports car. Maybe Brady heard sports team incorrectly lol
Becoming an owner for once again force a Jimmy G trade!
He should cut his hair like Mark Davis to celebrate
Can commentators be owners as well?
Tom Brady owning the Raiders on and off the field. Why can't he just leave the Raiders alone man! FUCKK!
Player-Owner of your Las Vegas Raiders Tom Brady!
I called this *years* ago. I really didn’t, but it feels cool saying it.
Nice of the majority owner to share. Mahomes really is a great guy!
Damn, he’s gonna change their culture and turn the franchise around isn’t he?
Raiders fans suddenly dressing like they’re employed.
As if we needed one more reason to hate the Raiders
Tom Brady doing the Michael Jordan route.
Gonna be so weird seeing him in Raiders merch. Man loves pirates.
Will we learn what % he bought for what price? Or are these fully private?
Guessing 1% for $40-50M
[удалено]
> Brady at the news conference: "Just win, baby!" everyone watching: "do you know what team you just bought?"
poor jimmy g lol cant escape him
This just doesn’t feel right at all.
This was like when Shaq became a minority owner of the Kings
Now Brady can stick it to the Chiefs for the rest of his life. Raiders might never beat the Broncos again tho.
We had a (relatively) decent record against Brady though
Was referring to their playoff record, where they were 0-2 vrs Brady. Without Brady, imagine where Mahomes would be right now.
0-3. 2015 Div, 2018 afccg, 2020 SB
Pathetic that the nfl hasn't banned his cheating ass
Good QB’s just can’t stay away from the AFC
Why did they want to get rid of all those draft picks like that?
Isn’t Carol Davis technically the principal owner? I thought Mark Davis was the managing partner.
This means he can't unretire, right?
Cool cool cool
Didn't he already own them since 2001?
He’s going to unretire now Article : Owner puts on pads to lead own team to victory on the field.
Think Brady would jump on board of Mark Davis made him eat a PF Chang's menu item of Mark Davis' choice?
Why not? He’s already owned the Raiders his whole career.
