here it is on tom's twitter acct:
https://twitter.com/x/status/1488522551110377481

It's pages and pages long.
No mention of the Pats in his farewell speech. :eek:
lol

Wonder what happened that drove a wedge between him and Bill Belichick?

Maybe The PHILLY SPECIAL. Benching their top corner because of whatever issue might have rubbed a lot of salt into Tom. He bailed whenever Foles played and beat him, like that Bears game.

Yea, I saw that, the only team that thought he might amount to something took the chance as the 199th selection and he can't be bothered to mention that, kinda petty IMHO.
Click to expand...
chance? meh.

Pat's estimated that Tom was a 5th round draft pick.
In the 7th round, they saw noone took him so it was best bang for the buck
7th round pick.

wow.. did not know the Pat's had 4 QB's that year. :eek:
That's insane when most teams only had 2.
or maybe 3 with Vinny Testerverde as the bench warmer @$1M/yr because seniority pay rules.

Ah, I get it now. Not mentioning the Pats is Tom's version of "I don't know you", a phrase Mariah Carey uses to express that she doesn't care for someone

While it may be the name, that logo is far from anything official. Everything thus far is 100% speculation and conjecture from a bunch of idiots on the internet.

You know, it's possible he still has grievances with how certain things were handled in NE like the already mentioned Malcolm Butler fiasco BUT the fans of NE deserved better, they supported him 100% including paying top $$ to watch games in frigid NE winter weather. Kind of odd too because alienating them might affect his new business's adversely.

Sounds like someone just learned how a first spouse feels when the partner finds someone younger, hotter, and better in bed.

In that regard Tampa WAS the younger, hotter version, vastly better receivers/tight ends and a solid defense but like I said, his grievances might be legit his fans are clearly upset, they don't call us 'Massholes" for nothing you know :D

Brady officially confirms retirement on Twitter


Could be more nonsense IDK.

No, he's hanging them up. Said he has important stuff to do that requires more attention than he's been able to give it. When you play in the NFL, any position other than place kicker, I figure your long term health has to be a big factor. A lot of great players have retired way way earlier than Tom. I wonder how healthy he is.

GOAT. Sad to see him go, but the timing is good.

Threw more touchdown passes than any other QB in the league this year. He's not over the hill. Hope he's reasonably healthy.

You must be one of those idiots, since that isn't the logo.

Posted an hour or go also. It's on the page from the Washington Post. Jedi never claimed it was their logo. You are actually the person who mentioned logo. Point is, the crest is REAL, even if you want to deny it for as long as you like. I guess they've given up real football after years of balling shit and now want to rebrand themselves as a soccer club? LOL

In other words, you're a fucking idiot, yet again. So is WTF football club or whatever bullshit they call themselves, lol.

Are you blind? I'm guessing no but you are just an idiot.

The crest in the image I quoted does not match the actual crest.

Here I'll help you out since you're such an idiot.

And this info isn't an hour old. It's been known since 8:11am ET this morning you idiot.

"that logo is far from anything official." purbeast0

You probably make a good little Trump boy. FYI, no one said it was identical, but it was true they have a crest that is almost exactly what was posted, with minor differences. But again, someone here is an idiot and delusional, but it certainly isn't me. Enjoy your joke of a football team.

The article, at the time, was posted an hour earlier, per the timestamp on the article. Again, twisting everything to support your BS argument. Sounds like a perfect Washington DC Soccer team fan. GJ Trumpboy!

I'm pretty sure he registered to vote in the last election just to vote against Trump. Or maybe it was 2016, but I'm pretty sure I remember the post.
