Part of my childhood retired today..I’ve been watching this guy since I was a kid. I don’t know football without TB definitely going to be an adjustment. One hell of a career👏 goodbye Tom
my son said the same thing spunky.. we live in upstate ny by lake george village.. we were die hard tom brady and patriot fans.
Same here .. playoffs just not gonna be the same anymore not with out him 😪 .. im going to miss him .. ever since 04 season been a huge fan..
Same here I don't even know who to root for
He's gonna be ballin in Tampa Bay this year 4 sure 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I was in the 8th grade when Tom Brady won his 1st Super Bowl beating my Steelers in the AFC Championship. I always hated him because he beat my team.
But I cant help but salute greatness. I'm now 34 years old, married, two kids, graduated from college, served in the military and as of just last year Tom Brady was still winning Super Bowls.
Incredible.
Salute to the best to ever do it. Truly the GOAT.
Thank you for your service!
Drew Bledsoe played that game bro
@@montanaknight967 ; The Second Half.
When Brady went down it looked bad, the hit I mean.
The reason why Bill went with Brady is because the team was behind Tommy 100% going into the playoffs. He sensed the team as a whole was behind Brady more than Drew. Drew helped and Kraft never forgot that and invested in Drew's winery! Drew is doing ok!
In the words of the late, great John Madden: "I'll tell you what...what Tom Brady just did, gives me goosebumps"...Thanks, for it all, Brady...and I do mean all of it...I'm a Philadelphia Eagles fan through and through, but I enjoyed what you did with the Quarterback position! Much appreciated...well done career....
In an age when almost anything and anyone in sports is described as "great", we have had the pleasure of watching someone who actually was. A genuinely great tribute, Rich.
well said!
This actually made me cry. What a beautiful tribute to a man who is obsessed with achieving greatness in every aspect of life. He deserves all the accolades and more.
Watching Manning vs. Brady matchups used to be one of the highlights of the sports year for me. I've watched Tom a long time. It wasn't until Peyton retired that I realized how special watching these guys play really is. Thanks, Tom. You won me over, I'll always be a fan
Most of their meetings were either Game of the Week or Game of the Year.
Tom Brady New England cheated with their wives for life?
I'm the same age as Tom. I've cheered for him half my life. I held back tears today. A true legend. I thank him for everything he gave me and all football fans.
I dont think anyone understands that this man had THREE Hall of fame careers:
• 2 separate first-ballot ones when he won 3 super bowls
• a definite Hall of Fame nod for just for his SB-less Patriot years and his time in Tampa alone
What an absolute machine, monster and legend and will NEVER EVER be matched.
Think of it like this:
If you take his career as he is, all 20 years of him (minus the season he got injured and his rookie year where he did not start), you have the Greatest of All-Time
If you take his career and split it *IN HALF,* you have two of the top 10 (maybe top 5) QB Careers of All-Time
If you split it in *THIRDS* , you have 3 surefire Hall Of Fame Quarterbacks.
If you split it in *QUARTERS* , you have at least half a decade of MVP/All-Pro caliber Quarterback play.
If you split it in *SEVENTHS* , you are guaranteed at least *ONE SUPERBOWL VICTORY*
If you split it in *TENTHS* , you are guaranteed a *SUPERBOWL APPEARANCE*
That is how ridiculous this man has been for the sport of football. And the best part? Or worst part? *He's retiring in his prime at age 44*
10 championship games and seven championships. Otto Graham. In 10 years.
@@MrRufusRToyota lol, they played one playoff game and 8 teams. it's like a pickup game.
Yeah I've that for years
@@YachiruALEPH split in 3
First 7: Aikman
Second 7: Dan Marino
Last 7: Joe Montana
You got me crying again. Football will never be the same.
The most Gretzky-like career since Gretzky. From a Giants fan. Respect.
@@mazdakmina9493 Facts
@@mazdakmina9493 your mom did though.
Brady: “6 QBs drafted ahead of me? No problem, I’ll win a Super Bowl for each one, and an extra just in case…”
The 7th was for himself.
he didn't win alone, his team did.
@@polpol1005 Sure…….😂
When Brady played the full season(subtract his rookie and 2008 season) he went to the superbowl 50% of the time that's crazy. 10 out of 20
@bone-snypa no he did
It’s unbelievable that The first super bowl I remember watching as a 10 year old and the dude was playing at a higher level when I turned 30
The first Super Bowl I ever watched was Super Bowl XXXVI. I wasn't a football fan then, just 13 yo kid that thought he'd check out the game because the local team had made it. 22 years and lots of memories later, thanks for the amazing ride Tom. You're the greatest.
Riiiight...
Thanks for telling us your story.
Absolute legend. When I first started watching football I had a love hate relationship with Brady. I said he was the goat and hated him because I felt like I was supposed to. After watching him play a full super bowl for the first time in super bowl LI and it being THAT game. After that I learned more and more and became obsessed with the competitive nature and will of Tom Brady, how he leads his team, his intensity, how clutch he is, and how committed and locked in he is. It’s incredible. The haters make me laugh cause I used to be one, what he’s done in the nfl is legendary. All the epic legendary moments, regular and post season. So grateful I got to watch this man play football at such a high level for the few years I have and sadly beating my cowboys in this years opener while I’m in the stands, and the inevitability of knowing it was coming too with only a minute and change left. There will never be another.
There will never be another TB12, period.
I appreciate this show for the respect you've shown Tom Brady for so long
meh just another brady fanboy
Tom... Thank you for the greatest 22 years of NFL football I've ever seen by a single player! 🏈 🏆 🏆 🏆 🏆 🏆 🏆 🏆 🐐
@bone-snypa if it was that easy to win with a top defense, any QB would’ve done it. Peyton folded with multiple top defenses, Rodgers folded this year with a great defense. The QB still has to get the job done, and no one did it better than Brady
@bone-snypa Manning was carried to his two Super Bowls by his defense. What were you watching, son?
Don't hate - Congratulate!
@bone-snypa So you're admitting he got carried in the playoffs to his 2 wins? That's progress.
Congratulations
As a long-time Bucs fan, when I heard he was coming to Tampa I wondered... what if he kinda just phones it in for a couple of years? What if there's a big decline? No. He went all out, put in 100% for the team, and there was no decline at all.
What a sad day! Thank you for everything Tom! Thank you for bringing us a chip! You're really are the TRUE GOAT of all American sports. Thank you Tommy! Thank you 12.
If the 9ers would have taken him when he asked they'd be trying for a back to back Super Bowl and probably prepping for a 3peat
With that defense and running game, and Deebo and Kittles, I don't doubt that one bit.
100% and they 100% get gronk so you have gronk and kittle and deebo
TB12 ❤️❤️
Man I’m so emotional today 😥 Tom Brady you will always be my idol
Well said I’m completely devastated my childhood my everything will change hats off to this man for everything he has done for the teams the players and I hate to say this but now his family good luck Tom there will never be another 🙏
Now I know what it was like when the Babe Ruth retired. 🤕
I respect athletes who compete 100 percent every game. He is in that category. What an epic career.
TB12 the goat, amazing!!! We will definitely miss you.
I was 20 years old when Brady made his first start and I have enjoyed watching him play football. Today definitely is a sad day. It's kinda cool that he retired when he did though. We don't know what a declining Brady looks like.
He never fell off the cliff.
We can say Father Time didn’t beat Brady
Don't say that out loud cuz people out there said he declined in 2019 smh
Thats the best time to go though. In your prime with at least 2 years of elite play still in you. Unreal
He should CLEARLY end his last season as the mvp. He had the best season BY FAR. It's crazy that this is not a forgone conclusion
Most overrated QB of all time aka Aaron Rodgers will get it though...He will win it because of "Stats" and not actually "Playing" the Best during season
@@jackwoods9604 yeah, but its ironic that you said that because Brady had the stats
@@lvx4408 Yes...His stats and being the better QB still wont get him MVP over Rodgers...Very Silly
I’m wistful…what a privilege to be a Patriot fan since the 80s
Thank you Tom.
I would say Brady and Gretzky are contemporaries…..in comparison to all others these two guys achieved more in their sport than any two players combined…
Ever hear of Bill Russell ??
What a speech Rich! amazing!
Greatest of all time no doubt!
& above all the greatest ambassador to the game of football ever!
Thanks for the memories don’t know what I’ll do next year smh
Man....it feels like we've lost a family member. Sad, sad moment in time...Last time, it was Jeff Gordon, Nascar hasn't been the same since...
Brady made it look so easy but we know it isn’t. His ability to operate in the pocket and his feel for pressure was Yoda level Jedi.
One of his most underrated accomplishments: Greatest QB Sneaks in history. 4th and goal, 1/2 yard line, you can have anyone in history. I'm taking a Tom Brady QB Sneak, a Jim Brown handoff, or nothing.
Grew up watching this guy was lucky to be born in New England and witness his greatness thank you for everything Tom it still feels unreal you decided to hang it up
Tom Brady took the National Football League to the mountain top, to the top of a mountain we didn't even know existed.
He got to the top of the mountain with Joe Montana and then started walking up the stairway to heaven. Dude's in the clouds at this point. Nobody will ever replicate his success. I wouldn't have believed it had I not witnessed it with my own eyes.
Sunday’s won’t ever be the same. I was 11 when he won us our first championship. For a lifetime of inspiration, I truly thank you 12.
The greatest of all time. No debate.
@bone-snypa Yeah, 3 TD passes and 5 INTs with 3 fumbles in Super Bowls is awe-inspiring
Not to mention 6 one-and-dones AT HOME
All those stats piled up in a dome v weak teams?
A legend
If you add his game winning drives in the post season, his total game winning drives for his career is 67. #1 overall. 11 higher than the next closest guy.
team includes brady
And his 39 10 point comebacks nearly doubles that of the guy in 2nd place.
Following his entire career I’ve always said, whenever Tom is done with football I will be too. I guess because I’ll know that no matter what anyone else accomplishes I’ll always ask, what if Tom was still playing though. It was an honor
BEST EISEN SEGMENT EVER!
GOAT!
Sad day but it’s been a privilege to watched this man entire career for 22 seasons. Without question he is the NFLs goat I’m gonna miss him.
GOAT TB12 set the winning bar so hard that I don't see any QB is can achieve it unless they sacrifice more than GOAT then may be, may be may be have a chance.
Before Brady skyrocketed to 7 rings, having 1 or 2 rings could keep you in the discussion as greatest, or one of the greats. Hell, as a dolphins fan my whole life seeing Marino just get one would have put him in the discussion. Montanas 4 seemed unreachable then too. That all changed. 7 rings and an insane 10 appearances is just ridiculous. It’s amazing and unfortunate for a lot of QBs now. The favres, Rodgers, flaccos, and dozens of others with one ring are dime a dozen now, when for so long just getting one would cement a legacy.
Exactly. Just winning one was huge, winning two guaranteed a hall of fame career, and three or four were seen as the pinnacle. Now everyone expects the top Quarterbacks to win multiple Super Bowls because Brady made it seem easy. He reached the conference championship game 14 times, including 8 in a row. Insane!
Malcolm Butler. If he doesn’t jump that route, Russ is 2 for 2, Brady has *just* three and has a 50% winning percentage in super bowl appearances. Brady made the legacy, Jimmy G has two rings because of it, but it’s a team game
Yeah, and if that interception beforehand doesn’t somehow find its way into kearses hands then they most likely wouldn’t have needed a Malcolm butler pick to save it for them. Brady put his team up when he left the field, as opposed to trailing or throwing the pick and needing a turnover to save him. Also Eli Manning doesn’t make two crazy throws to tyree and Manningham and Brady had 5 going into that game. It goes both ways. We react to the results and can always speculate. Yes it’s a team effort but Brady is that common denominator for their sustained success.
@@TheDMB411987 yeah people forget about that miraculous Kearse catch. It almost doomed the Patriots like the miraculous catches in the two Giant Super Bowls. That's why Brady was in disbelief when Kearse caught it. Brady had just led what was at that point the biggest come back in Super Bowl history.
@@Matt02341 so, you'll accept the fluke pass that even put the Seahawks in a position to score, but not the defender who read the play perfectly. Gotcha.
The stat that boggles me is that he played in 10 SB's over 20 years (forget the year he was injured).
4 rings after 37 just impressive
I am so depressed,he was not only competing at the highest level he was still ahead of the pack.I can't help but think he really did not want to retire.
Besides Jim Brown
Noone else really retired while still at the top of their game.And make no mistake Tom was still at the top 22 yrs in the league. IT IS INCREDIBLE
IT WILL NEVER EVER EVER HAPPEN AGAIN.
In the NFL Hall of Fame he should have his own WING.
To say he was the Greatest of all time is an understatement.
Barry Sanders as well. But to your point, I also feel like he didn't want to retire. He loves it so much and is still an mvp level QB. I assumed he was playing next season, and depending how it went decide whether to keep playing or not. I think the obligation he felt to his family was too strong.
@@GameTime-yj6qv It's weird because when his kids go off to college and his wife is out with her business pursuits,he's going to have a quiet moment and feel regret for leaving too early.
If not for AB and that leaky OLine and Sloppy secondary play.
He was winning back to back SuperBowls. Psychologically he has the edge over opponents so when he tied the game,it would have been a victory if it got to overtime.But he can rest easy knowing that No QB will EVER win 5 SuperBowls let alone 7.
He had 22 Season in the NFL and is retiring in the year 2022
Thank you so much Rich! That was one hell of a speech! You feel the respect and administration 🤍🇧🇷
Legendary Legend GOAT of all time is TOM BRADY! huge respect to you GOAT from Raven's fan
Great tribute Rich! Thank you for giving TB the accolades he deserves!
Those passing stats are freakin' amazing.
Tom Brady is the NFL’s GOAT, and possibly the most successful athlete in any of the major sports.
I just threw up in my mouth a little bit saying that. But it’s true.
GO BILLS.
It's ok buddy backwash beer ain't too bad.
@bone-snypa it was definitely him more than anybody else.
@bone-snypa in the postseason Brady has lead his offenses to 30+ points 22 times in 47 games. Manning, Rodgers, and Brees have combined to lead their respective offenses to 30+ points 21 times in 65 games.
@bone-snypa try giving facts and offer context and not just lazy analysis. Brady has won 6 playoff games whenever his defense gives up 28 points or more.(most all time) No other QB has won more than 2.
@bone-snypa Brady has also never lead an offense ranked lower than 7th in ppg scored in his entire career. And the 3 superbowls that Brady lost in 2007, 2011, and 2017, his offenses were ranked 1st, 3rd, and 2nd in ppg scored respectfully. People need to stop just talking about defense all the time. SMH
You know this was special bc Rich didn't have his loud outro
Perfect rant, thanks' Rich.
GOAT. Period. Gonna miss him!❤❤❤
Awesome tribute man
I grew up watching football right the end of the eras of some legendary QBs like Montana and Marino thinking if my generation would get the privilege of watching the rise of another NFL legend. I am blessed to have watched Brady.
There needs to be a trophy called the Brady Award. It could be like the Conn Smythe for Hockey
Rename the Lombardi to the Brady 😂
Tom Brady movie will be a huge money maker. Wonder who can represent Tom and his wife . Tampa Bay Buckeners you were blessed. Football games will be a little different for a few years 🏈
What a Legend, What a Man, The GOAT! Gonna miss him so much! Thank you, Tom! ❤️
Only two athletes have ever made me wonder how I will enjoy a sport when they retired- Jordon and Brady.
As someone from Chicago, basketball has never been the same since MJ retired. lol.
He’s been playing for as long as I’ve been alive- insane to think I was a baby while he was winning Super Bowls and he continued to do so as I sit and type this as an adult
Brady is the defining athlete of this generation. Like babe ruth, ali or Jordan
Well said!!!
Thanks Rich as a die hard Brady fan I like how you put thi ks out there that a lot of people to understand what Brady has done at 40+is out of this World
brady = leader...commitment ...longevity
When he thought he was GOAT was when he said to Robert Kraft "I'm the best decision you've ever made". Man had cajones and he knew it. It's been amazing to have literally grown up with TB12 as my QB1. He brought NE into relevance for the rest of my life. A well earned ride into the sunset. Ring the bell 12 times for the GOAT
NFL,
Please declare this season tribute to TB.
Make it special for him and whole NFL community. It will take whole year for us to get used to see NFL without TB.
Im with this all the way! I started watching Tom from the very beginning. I knew he was different. Cut from a different cloth and different color of blood running through his veins. This guy is the ultimate. It’s a very sad day but definitely proud of all of his countless accomplishments in the best team game in the world. Soak it in folks, you will NEVER see this again. Thomas Edward Patrick Brady Jr., your favorite football player’s favorite football player! Thank you for one helluva journey Tom! Love ya man! 👏🏼 👏🏼 GOAT 🐐
When the Rams were in St. Louis, I was all in. Finally, a home team for St. Louis. I suffered through all those Tony Banks years. And we turned it around with Warner and Co. to win Super Bowl 34. I was elated. Then, the next year, all we had to do was beat this scrawny kid from Michigan to go back-to-back. And he destroyed our souls. I hated him. His first 3 Super Bowls were the thorn in my side. But... he just kept winning - over and over and over again. No, he's never been my favorite QB. But that's a different metric than "who's the best ever". As much as I wanted to keep hating him, I couldn't. I love this game. I played this game. I coached this game. So I knew how special what he was doing was. And I'll always give credit where it's due. Tom is the greatest "football player" to ever play the game. Nobody has ever, or will ever, match his success. And nobody will ever come close. Rings? Sure. Someone might win 7. Or even 8. Although I doubt it. But NOBODY will ever play or win as many championship games, or Super Bowls as he did. And even if they did, they'll never put up a career's worth of numbers in the postseason as he did. His passing statistics in the Super Bowl alone are the equivalent of an absolutely stellar full season. His accolades are impossible to match. I'm sad to see him go. And that's coming from someone who hated him at one point. Tom is indeed the GOAT. Much luck and peace in all you do Tom. ✌
You are a true sports fan, mad respect!
@@maxwatson2365 All except my crap memory. Rams lost to the Saints in the playoffs between their SB title and playing the Pats. But the rest is accurate. I think...

I remember in 2001 against the Bills his second or third start Nate Clement absolutely destroyed Brady helmet included and Tom immediately popped up and ran back to the huddle I just said to my friends watching with me tough kid
A lot of people forget about that hit and the fact that Brady played at the end of that same era as Elway/Favre/Montana/etc
Didn't he get up ane clap his hands 🤣
The Patriots did not choose Brady because they wanted to, they chose hims because they had to pick someone.
The GOAT finished his playoff trilogy with the Rams then walked off into the sunset.
LOve this tribute to my man TOMMY ! THanks TOMMY I miss you already !
I get goosebumps listening to this take as John Madden said in Tom’s first Super Bowl win
looking at the numbers, wow.
Thank you Tom.
the goat
Why doesn’t he get any credit for all the AFC Championship games? I always looked forward to Brady vs Manning
Best QB in history but a class act gentleman, strong family values and a seeming honorable man. Thanks #12.
GOAT QB, but he left his first wife while she was pregnant with his child to hook up with a supermodel. Family values indeed.
@@1cryogen They weren't married. How dumb are you?
@@1cryogen they broke up in November of 2006 and she didn't announce her pregnancy until february of 2007
what a hypocrite you are
@@MichaelMurphy-kj3xf Well then, we can agree that Brady always had a great skill for scoring late in the 4th quarter!
I was a fan of the Patriots during the Grogan years, they had some success but nothing like Tom brought. The 90's were rough for Patriots fans and I had season tickets for the first time in 93, one win but I sat there every Sunday until I moved in 2000. Needless to say I was happy that 2001 Super Bowl and the rest. Even the losses in the playoffs and Super Bowls because I never stopped appreciating what I was seeing. Tom left the team and I continued to support the team just like when I was a kid. I appreciate what he brought but like he always said and did it was team first. It's sad he's retiring but sweet because it makes you appreciate just how great he was.
To equal Brady in rings and regular season/playoff wins Aaron Rodgers would have to: go undefeated in regular season and win the SB each year. For 6 years in a row. That's how far away the next guy is.
@bone-snypa You got issues bruh. Seek help
@bone-snypa Rodgers’ Packers were ranked 9th last year. Brady only had 1 player (JPP) make the pro bowl. Packers had 8. In Brady’s 7 SB wins he had ZERO offensive linemen make the pro bowl. He will only have 1 offensive player make HOF (Gronk) who he won SBs with.
Makes you wonder what his career could have been like if he had been picked earlier. What if the Patriots had taken him in an earlier pick? How much did that diss of Brady contribute to his greatness.
Rich is an enigma in the sense that he's a Michigan man, his kids entire family is Patriots fans, and he's a Jets fan. What a dark existence lol
TOM BRADY ALL DAY! TB 12 ALL DAY! THE G.O.A.T. FOREVER!
The GOAT... ❤️
22 seasons and the longest superbowl drought was 3 years wild
It’s hard to imagine an nfl without TB12😔
Excellent
Whatever is yours, is yours. it was his destiny for his complete great career, despite all the closed doors.
GOAT
Thank You Tom Brady ! Thanks for all those memories of football .
And we got to see it all
He will be missed best of luck tom and your family moving forward.
The Greatest Athlete of ALL TIME! Tom Brady is the GOAT!
far from it
the TB era of football. think of all the GREAT qb's which are a complete afterthought after his late career monster onslaught. in 2012, Montana was the GOAT and you had people debating whether Brady, Manning, Elway, even Favre were in the conversation for 2nd place. fast forward 10 years. Manning? which one Eli or Payton? maybe Cooper? Brett who? A-Rod? you mean the baseball player? the man simply shoved a full generation of the greatest QBs in history (Rodgers, Ben, Brees, Manning, Favre) into a deep dark deep freeze drawer, locked it and threw away the key. it's the Tom Brady Era of football.
Used to piss me off when Loyd used to bench Brady for Henson. He gave in to the media pressure.
He's still being overlooked in some ways over the newer more flashier QBs today
football is not as well followed sport in my country but damn we all know who TOM BRADY is.. 10 superbowl appearance 7 superbowl win and the last quarterback to win a back to back superbowl.. TB12 LET'S GOOOOOOO
