Tom Brady’s retirement is official, and we’d have to write 50,000 words to cover all of his accomplishments as a quarterback, and as a winner. The individual statistics and honors are incredible, but I’ll leave that alone right now. The winning defined Brady’s career...
Leftover thoughts from an AFC-NFC Championship Sunday: 1) As it turns out, the narrative was premature and overly enthusiastic: “Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen are the new Brady vs. Manning.” I plead guilty to hyperventilating over the irresistible angle. Joe Burrow...
