Imagine if Brady won a Super Bowl on one ankle 🤣🤣🤣 that was the greatest difficulty Super Bowl we’ve seen from a qb in a long time…. On one ankle, Vs the
#1
pass rush in the league
Of the four major Boston sports teams, the Red Sox have now gone the longest without a championship appearance. It's been a whole three and a half years since they last appeared in the World Series.
I've been watching Tom Brady play quarterback for the Patriots since I was six years old. I don't feel I'm being dramatic when I say seeing him every fall as been one of the biggest constants throughout my life.
This hurts. It really does.
Tom Brady couldn't go down to Arizona without his top three receivers and beat the No. 1 team in the NFL. Aaron Rodgers is the greatest to ever play that position.
Bill Belichick:
"I hate social media. We get rid of it whenever we can...get rid of the phone, have a conversation...there's no cell phones out on the field"
"Who cares if you get 2,000 likes from people you don't even know? It's the 53 guys in the locker room that matter"
After 4 years as a starter, Tom Brady had three rings without a single playoff loss. He then continued to dominate for another 18 years, which alone is 5 years longer average HOF quarterback’s career (modern era).
Celtics fans: "Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown need to play better"
Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown: *Play better*
Jaylen Brown: "Celtics fans need to be louder"
Celtics fans: *Are louder*
You can't pick up a flag after the quarterback was clearly hit late, then penalize the other team for being unhappy about it. Not a smart penalty by Trent Brown but that sequence is inexcusable.
If Travis Kelce really is better than prime Gronk like Chiefs fans have been claiming for years, then this move shouldn't be an issue for KC. I guess we'll see...
Bill Belichick says accurate draft information doesn't leak from teams until about 12 hours before the draft. Adds most of the information this time of year comes from agents.
Matthew Slater suggests that whether he retires or not, he'll continue living in New England. Mentions that all four of his kids were born here, and two are in school now.
"This is home for us now."
Bill Belichick confirms that on the interception, Jack Jones read the play and came off his assignment defending the receiver up the seam to make the pick.
The Patriots pantsed the Bills from start to finish in situational football, and Sean McDermott wants us to believe that had nothing to do with Bill Belichick.
Charles Barkley at halftime: “I’m embarrassed for the Celtics. That display of basketball, no mental toughness…they made the refs mad because they complain on every single call. The lack of mental toughness, it’s embarrassing…that was embarrassing as a Celtics fan.”
Bill Belichick says he and John Madden worked together on the NFL's Top 100 list watching games from the 20's, 30's, and 40's and he especially enjoyed conversations about what they saw.
Roger Goodell on the
@ProFootballTalk
report that the league "expunged" PSI numbers collected the year after Deflategate:
"I don't know what happened to the data, to be honest with you."
Ok.
Jayson Tatum on how he views Celtics fans: "I can't express it enough, the genuine love I kind of feel from the crowd. I've been here my whole career, I feel like they embrace me almost as one of their own. That means a lot. I love being here. I love putting on this uniform."
It wasn’t Tom Brady running a coverup, it was the league. The NFL withheld and expunged information that may have vindicated Brady as they were in the process of prosecuting him.
Who was the source for the notorious (and false) 11-of-12 footballs report that sparked Deflategate? What happened to the air-pressure measurements randomly taken during the 2015 seasons? Playmakers found the answers to both of those questions.
Bill Belichick is still bitter about this fourth down run by Peyton Manning from 2004. Keep in mind...
...the drive ended the next play on a turnover
...the Patriots won the game 27-24
...they won the Super Bowl that year
All that and still not over it. That's why he's the best
Kyle Van Noy last week, now possibly James White
That's just the price you pay when the beginning of the season falls ~9 months after the Super Bowl
#Patriots
Bill Belichick to James White: "Those banners up there wouldn't be hanging there without you. I appreciate all you've done for me, the football team, and the organization."
Josh McDaniels currently being introduced as head coach of the Raiders. Starts off thanking Robert Kraft, Bill Belichick, and the Patriots.
"I was fortunate to learn and grow in a first-class organization."
Cordarrelle Patterson won a ring in New England, but the lasting memory for some
#Patriots
fans will be him taking time out before games like this
Just a guy who really understood what it means to be a pro athlete, especially in New England
Robert Kraft asked if he's ever considered selling the team: "No. After my family, the New England Patriots is the most important thing in my life. It's not a business, it's a part of my family...I'm never selling. We've set it up so it stays in the family for many decades."
Brady bailing on Tampa and coming back to the Patriots Josh McDaniels style *might* be an even better ending to Brady Watch than him just signing with the Patriots straight up
Bucs and Tom Brady still trying to finalize contract language as of Wednesday night and those discussions will go into Thursday, per source. Contract language more challenging this off-season than any time in recent memory. No problems forseen with Bucs-Brady, but no deal yet.
Tom Brady asked about his final game at Gillette Stadium: “It’s been a great stadium for me for a long time. You never know what the future holds. There could be a chance for me to come back.”
Cam Newton asked if he feels 'welcomed' by the fans: "Everywhere I've been around town, there's so much love...from watching the C's, to even hockey which is new to me...this is a sports-heavy city"
