I’d really hoped that I was finally done with Tom Brady. Sports media has decided to give him all the slobber jobs that they used to give Favre.
I’m not denying Brady’s talent. My problem is how much everybody worships him, to the point that I can’t watch any game without hearing about him.
Eh, if he was going to pull this crap, I am just glad he didn’t draw it out all the way to training camp. Chalk me up as someone who also hates the Brett Favre / Roger Clemens diva act of doing these multiple retirements. Favre was bad enough, though Clemens was worse. He waited until after the season started before announcing he was coming back.
I guess the Bucs are officially out of the Deshaun Watson race.
As tired as I am of Brady, I agree with this. He announced it just as free agency was about to start – in other words, before the Bucs had made any trade or FA moves on a veteran QB, and before the draft.
His retirement lasted 40 days.
Tom Brady spent 40 days in the wilderness, being tempted by the Devil.
If Gisele Bundchen is the Devil, then Hail Satan!
I’m sure Gisele has worn Prada.
Trubisky is the new starter for the Steelers:
Colts’ options at QB are decreasing rapidly. Probably go with our first-round draft pick.
OH WAIT.
It’s Tebow Time in Indianapolis! 
I thought he was a tight end now. 
He was even less of a tight end than he was an NFL-caliber quarterback.
This makes me happy.
As a Colts fan, it makes me happy, too.
Are you sure, I thought it was about equal.
He actually won regular-season games, and a playoff game, as an NFL quarterback from 2010-12, though his passing stats (particularly his completion rate) were pretty poor.
He spent training camp, and the first part of the preseason, as a tight end with the Jaguars last year; he hadn’t played the position previously, and looked like he really didn’t know what he was doing during his limited on-field time in a preseason game or two, before he was cut.
Yeah, it wasn’t really close. He looked totally lost as a position player.
Bringing him into camp and letting him get so far was one (not even the first!) signs that Urban Meyer didn’t know what the heck he was doing as an NFL coach.
It was a publicity stunt. They got attention and sold jerseys. They didn’t have to give up a roster spot and pay him much.
It was a pretty successful move, if you don’t mind the clown show.
Well, Trubisky was at the top of my wish list (of the realistic options) as next year’s starting Steelers QB. Guess this will be the true litmus test of my NFL GM abilities. And if the offense is somewhere above average, we’ll know how much last year’s offensive ineptness was truly on Ben (as opposed to the O-line/OC Matt Canaday).
Well, Big Ben and Mitch could equally be terrible and that doesn’t absolve the OL/OC.
I could’ve been one of those rioting fans that @LoneRhino mentioned if not for this:
I wasn’t really worried about burning any first round picks on a QB but I’m more at ease now.
