I'll miss Tom Brady.

He's moving to commentator so you may not get the chance.

"Over the course of this long-term agreement, Tom will not only call our biggest NFL games with Kevin Burkhardt, but will also serve as an ambassador for us, particularly with respect to client and promotional initiatives," Fox Sports said in a statement to the New York Post at the time."

In other news Brady recently said there is holding on every play - I agree.

And, Steratore said there was holding on the "give away the game play" of the AFC championship - I also agree

I've been looking for a reason to stop watching football (because certain things about it do bother me) and the holding calls thing is the one. And Brady retiring too... I would have tried to catch him with the Dolphins but it's not happening.

In the mid 1970's, my uncle had a 4 or 5 season seats in the nose bleeds of the Orange bowl and I went to many games with Shula and Marino and If I could I would give those experiences to others who have never attended a game. But, I don't like a number of things about the game including the injuries and the way athletes get through college with preferential treatment.

For the longest time, I've enjoyed watching the youtube highlights instead of the live games. I don't watch many things with commercials anyhow.

They already said it will be burkhardt & brady.
Olsen (from NJ) moves to #2 crew.

The question is if brady still wants to do it.

Good then we dont have to read your posts here anymore.

[bhampton]

Fair enough.

If the cowboys ever do win a superbowl - Congrats.

I'm just saying my thoughts... and I do realize none of you agree or want to hear it. I can ban myself from this thread now.

Drinks all around.

May the refs be in your favor.

But seriously, man, you threw away your family for one more wasted season where you'd go 8-9 and get throttled by Dak and Mike McCarthy in the first round of the playoffs just to retire again anyway?

Brian:

If we are going to examine one play and say X was missed, let's analyze each and every play and see what was missed or a wrong call for either side...

and since we are doing that, let's go back to last year's AFC Championship game and go through each and every snap to tally up which missed call or wrong call had an impact on the outcome of the game.

I'm sure I won't be pleased with Cheffers (past performance perdicts future performance), but the reality is my *****ing will have ZERO impact on the outcome before, during or after the game.

Bengals fans starting petitions to replay the game on change.org....Fing give it a rest.

Watch the Hallmark Channel if you want manufactured drama.

[bhampton]

If I wasn't banned from the thread I would agree. Seriously. I saw the petition and laughed ... it's total BS.

I just happen to be waiting for the Bengals to win a SB because I grew up in Cincy. And I know the penalty at the end was justified and the Burfict Storm was more than justified but somehow more annoying.

There is NO DOUBT that your fella Mahomie put up an amazing fight and you don't need an qualifier or excuse or any of that. He is fun to watch.

I just wish when the game result was on the line they would make a better effort and I know they do make a larger than life effort already.

I heard the SB refs are Flag Happy and I do sincerely wish you luck.

Now back to my ban. I only replied because I was prompted and again I am just trying to give my honest thoughts on the matter. I am not as big a fan as most who participate in this thread.

After the AFC game, I would have burned all my merch but I don't have ANY.... so you see, I'm a casual fan of the game. I blame my uncle because he took me to many great games when I was young.

Edit - I was also upset about what I thought was a missed block in the back during the Cin/Ravens fumble return. I like a good game more than any player or team.

He did what he loved and she knew what she was getting into. There had to have been way deeper problems than what’s known.

Here's a counter explanation as to why no holding call was made:

I always admired and respected Tom, the fact that he irritated so many people made me like him even more.

I absolutely understand that PHI-KC fans are amped for the Super Bowl and no disrespect there because I hope its a good game, I am with others who are ready to move on to Free Agency. Its just always fun to see where all the pieces land in the offseason.

I certainly get that feeling of wanting to move on.

I avoided sports talk for several months after the Chiefs lost in the AFC Champ game last year.

[DragonOfTheBlackPool]

No way Aaron Rodgers retires now. He would be overshadowed by Brady at the HOF induction lol. Maybe get a tan under Brady’s spotlight.

[El Rey]

I haven't gotten the vibe that he wants to retire, just wants a change of scenery at this point

PHI OL Josh Sills arrested on rape and kidnapping charges from a case that started in 2019

Matt Rhule seeking $5m from Panthers in offset severance compensation

Tua has officially cleared concussion protocol. I still don't know that I want him playing again

Thank you, dcowboy7. I'll be sure to use my new YouTube NFL Sunday ticket to keep watching Tom Brady forever and ever.

I was hoping he would finish his career with LV. Finally the Raiders would’ve had greatest QB ever.

It would've been awesome.

You know that 1st game he does the curiosity factor will be off the charts.

FOX is going to eff up if they remove Olsen. Dude is legit.
