In all seriousness, Big Ben was one of the best cheat codes to use in the early Madden games. I wish him nothing but luck and success in his future endeavors. He’s a future Hall of Famer, without question.
 
Roethlisberger is a sex pest piece of shit spoiled brat. Hall of famer no doubt, but I'm glad the way the old noodle arm went out. Getting the shit beat out of him.

Finally four, I'm taking Cheifs curb stomping the Bengals. And the 49ers magical playoff tour continuing as they pound the rock up la's pretty bleached asswholes. Even though I'm a massive Stafford fan.

Chiefs over Bengals is an easy call, but idk about the 49ers. I'd love to see them go through but it feels like their job is "done" now, having embarrassed the fuck out of Fraudgers.

Dude everyone knows about Roethlisberger's history, internet randos will literally never shut up about it. He almost got traded to the 49ers over it. We get it, people constantly popping to remind everyone is more annoying than it is informative at this point.

Also Kitty Goes Meow all the way to an upset Super Bowl vs. the 49ers, and if the fucking Chiefs or Rams get in the way of that I hope either team has horrible luck next year and goes straight to the basement.

*We* get it, but some people hate that he's a blue collar folk hero when he's a multimillionaire who raped some chick in a bathroom.

wasnt trying to be informative, just think its important to remember Big ben isnt some ho hum, small town boy next door that he and the media like to portray him as. And i dont care if some internet rando continually get butthurt over it.

Kansas city is a different beast from anything the nfl have ever seen, and the only chance any other team has against them if the Chiefs have to amputate a leg of every single one of their starting offensive line.
 
Vikings have a new GM who’s name I can’t spell. Apparently was on the browns staff though, so might end up being a good choice or a terrible one depending on what he was doing there lately. EDIT: Shit, guy has an Ivy League education and was part of the management staff for the 49ers recent super bowl runs. Can’t be worse than our last guy.

Kwesi Adofo Mensa. He's from Ghana. Came here when he was like 15 or something. Hes also friends with Jim Harbaugh, so maybe he might be able to entice Jim to leave Michigan for the MFL again.

On a side note, I know a chick from Ghana. Shes 50 but looks 30. Unlike African-American women, African women still take care of themselves, and know that being loud, angry and promiscuous ain't a way to get a boyfriend. "Yasss Queen" girls could learn something from them.

Matthew Stafford has retired Tom Brady.

What a world.


In all seriousness, this feels different the all the other retirement rumors we've heard before.

Schefter tweeted it, it's all but confirmed.
Hard to process. He's been a fixture in the league long enough that he's played against players born after his rookie season. And he did it without falling off towards the end like every other HOF quarterback (cough Brees, cough Big Ben). Hell, even though Blanda made it an extra 4 years over Tom in terms of being the oldest player ever, he had to become the QB version of a relief pitcher and a place kicker to last that long. Brady did it all as a starting QB.
I don't think we'll ever see longevity or sustained success like his in the league again. I thought for sure he was going to come back next year, he's always said he'd play until he sucks. Maybe he saw the cap-induced explosion headed the Bucs' way and decided this year was his last shot at #8. I really hope the Steelers and Pats don't get another ring in the near future so he can get into the HOF with the record as having more Super Bowl titles than any player or franchise.
 
Bucs rebuilding starts now! And with the Saints way over their cap, the Falcons being the Falcons and whatever the hell is going on in Charlotte, that division is going to be a shitshow next year.

Over/under that we see at 6-11 team go to the playoffs in that division? The Panthers already pulled off a playoff berth at 7-8-1.

And EA and DICE score another L, as Tom Brady being the 2042 MVP won't be happening:

I really do think that he's retiring for his family. If it weren't for them we'd probably see him play for another 1-3 seasons assuming his body would hold up. It's clear that he's still got it, but he's got kids and his wife doesn't like seeing him take big shots every weekend. He has nothing left at all to prove as an athlete (frankly, he hasn't for many years.) The only real knock that people had on him was that he was a product of Belichick, but then we went and won his last ring immediately after leaving New England and proved that he's a winner.

One thing I haven't seen people talking about is that this probably will be the end for Rob Gronkowski, too. Him and Brady will go into the Hall together. Gronkowski seems like he only wants to play with Brady, and he only came out of retirement to go play with him in Tampa Bay. He, too, has nothing to prove and I don't see why he'd stick around for, what I assume will be, a rebuilding Buccaneers team.

If he hadn't spent so much of this season playing through injury, I'd think he had another year. He only went into retirement because Belichick was gonna exile him to a Matt Patricia-coached Lions team. But now you're almost certainly right, I don't think he'll endure another offseason of rehab for the opportunity to catch balls from Kyle Trask.
 
What's hilarious is according to ESPN, Brady isn't even in the country right now. His agent just Tweeted out a non-answer about "Not able to confirm or deny the accuracy of these rumors" and said that Tom would release a statement when ready.

Lol one week out of the playoffs and hes already in another country. Probably someplace sunny. The life of the Goat, huh?
 
Tom was the oldest active player by a country mile, the last super bowl he played against a kid who literally discovered football and his love for it after watching Tom play back when he was like 6. a good chunk of players weren't even alive when he started. He should have retired after the win, hell being one field goal away from the SB is nothing to sneeze at either. He has pretty much every record, and they won't be beaten in our lifetimes. hell the "over 40" category might as well be named the Tom Brady category considering no other player wants to be active at that age.

literal end of an era that people never expected to last this long and if they did they expected a Farve-esque slow death into the practice squad
