TOM BRADY TRACKER: Spending "Retirement" Frolicking On The Beach With Friends

What's better than some beach time, tossing a pigskin with the boys? Sure, this is meant to come off as unassuming and benign, but I'm much, much smarter than that. I'm onto these guys and I simply refuse to be bamboozled again. This one's easy: this is no casual outing to the beach with the bros.

Tom Brady's official re-retirement took place on February 1. Since then, the primary question surrounding Tom Brady's "retirement" is if he's actually retired at all. Reports from Rich Eisen out of the NFL Combine were that he wasn't 100% finished. I referenced this in a previous blog, and at this point it can't be ruled out; Tom Brady's a football lifer. This post by Tom only fuels the rumor mill and it's clear to me that he's recruiting some of his best lads to join him in a return.

Tom Brady definitely probably sent out a mysterious unmarked invitation to these guys. I imagine he said something like this.

What you see in this post is the result of a bunch of dudes that still have the competitive edge and want to win another ring. 

It's time for roll call - who's making the comeback with Brady? I previously floated the idea that Gronk would rejoin Brady in one final NFL season, and this post all but confirms my theory. Gronk's there in true Gronk form: goggled up, riding some sort of self-propelled boogie board with half his asscrack hanging out. Brady's former slot go-to, Julian Edelman, is also in attendance. Edelman's clearly stayed in shape and by the looks of things, he's ready to catch some more passes from his old friend. I could be mistaken but next to Edelman is Danny Amendola, another Brady disciple. Technically, Amendola is also "retired" but if Brady asks you to come back, you come back. Finally, Bob Kraft's backside can be spotted in the final photo, what's he doing there? This muddies the waters - does Kraft want Brady back in Foxborough or will Brady and the gang assemble in Miami? Is this just an innocent Patriots reunion? It all stinks and my sleuth alarm bells are going off. Let the record show that I'm onto you, Tom.

The Pete Weber Celebration Breakdown

Image
Originally written 10/31/19 Close your eyes and picture this, if you will. What's the single most memorable, prolific sports celebration that pops into your head? Any sport, any athlete, any era. What was it for you? Maybe it was Tiger Woods on the 16th hole, jarring a chip from off the back of the green in the final round of the 2005 Masters. Perhaps you’re envisioning Brandi Chastain celebrating shirtless after netting the penalty kick to win the 1999 World Cup. Or maybe it's Michael Jordan elevating over Craig Ehlo, hanging in the atmosphere for an immaculate split second, then draining the game winner and unloading several emphatic fist pumps. You can open your eyes now. I’m sorry to inform you that whatever you just pictured in your head is incorrect, and also stupid. The greatest sports celebration that ever was didn’t take place on a field, nor a pitch, nor a court. No, the greatest celebration ever went down on a bowling alley. It all unfolded and history was made on...

FFB Week 10: Twelve Takeaways

Image
WELCOME BACK.  Another Wednesday, Twelve more Takeaways from this past week's action.  Alright, that's enough small-talk. Let's ride.  1. We had ourselves a good, old-fashioned Thursday night Ja'Marr Chase points explosion. More like a pants explosion for people that started him, am I right?  Anyways, it was a night to remember for Ja'Marr Chase fantasy owners as he more or less won a good portion of the matchups he was a part of before they got started. The feeling of dread for folks that were going against him and didn't check the box score until the next morning is the stuff of fantasy nightmares.  Chase caught 11 passes for 264 yards and 3 touchdowns in the contest putting up 49.90 fantasy points in half-PPR leagues, a performance for the ages.  Somehow, the Bengals lost the game and fell to 4-6, BUT if you're a fan of bargain buys they're +130 to make the playoffs and Joe Burrow is in God-mode with two straight QB1 finishes.  After going nuclear t...

A Celebration Of The 2001 Creed Super Bowl Halftime Show

Image
A Frame by Frame Celebration of: "The Halftime Show" by Creed That's right, folks. We're taking it back to the year 2001 and Creed had just blessed the music community with their third studio album, Weathered.  This album was the springboard that catapulted them into the epicenter of the early 2000's rock storm alongside other juggernauts such as Nickelback, Staind, and Hoobastank. Naturally, they were a top choice for the NFL's Thanksgiving halftime show and to say they delivered would be a gross understatement. Let me give a little background before we start dissecting the footage. This particular halftime show took place on November 22nd, 2001 - roughly two months after 9/11 and two days after Weathered had been released. What better way to honor America and promote the new album than to turn the amps up to 11 and melt the collective faces of NFL fans across the country? As if Creed shredding wasn't metal enough, the accompanying acts propelled this i...
