A Wince And A Prayer

March 13th, 2022

Fresh Tom Brady drama — from Brady himself.

Drama king Tom Brady was at it again this weekend, firing up everyone who yearns for The Goat to play one more season.

Retired (?) Brady was in England with his sons taking in a Manchester United game yesterday, presumably with free tickets from Team Glazer, owners of the popular soccer empire.

After the game, Brady was on the field chatting with legendary goal scorer Cristiano Ronaldo, another age-defying star at 37 years old.

Ronaldo is seen/heard on video circulating via social media, including on a Brady platform, asking Brady, “You’re finished, right?” Brady’s response is a wince, a glance away and an inaudible response.

So maybe that means Brady wants to play another season?

Maybe he was there to work out a deal with Team Glazer — to play with the Bucs or with another team? Maybe Brady and Ronaldo were not referring to football?

Joe is not losing sleep over Brady. The Bucs hold his rights and Joe has no doubt Tampa Bay management would cater to him completely if he wants to play again or, rather, if his wife lets him play in 2022. Joe likes the Bucs’ chances if Brady decides to play.

    Florio wet his pants over this. If Brady wants to come back and play for a new team, he should let us know so we get some draft capital

  2. Buczilla Says:

    I’d rather he come back than not, but I won’t be losing any sleep over it either. I’m excited to see if Trask can be our first drafted quarterback ever to be better than average.

  3. Kalind Says:

    If he wants to play for SF. Let’s oblige. Just demand Lance and either Deedo or Bosa…their call.

  4. Francisco Guzman Says:

    Bucs ain’t holding that Brady contract. Let’s get real here. They should try and entice the guy by making some moves.

  5. steele Says:

    A “wince, a glance away and an inaudible response” does not in any way prove that he wants to play again.

  6. Deano Says:

    F—. Watson! Offer Brady 45 mil 1 year 70/80 mil 2 years, then start Trask, but what do I know.

  7. steele Says:

    A “wince, a glance away and an inaudible response”. Maybe the meat pie that Tom ate for lunch was not sitting well and he had to go.

  8. Pepsi Says:

    @Steele – he was asked if he’s done and he replies with “ehh… we’ll see”. I’m not sure what else you’d need to see short of him saying “yes I want to play again”

  9. Tye Says:

    Brady’s whiffing is about as annoying as Favre was….

    Can people be any more delusional thinking Watson would instantly make a team the best in the NFC south…. His team was one of the worst of The AFC South of all division… the AFC South!!!

    Baker Mayfield would be intriguing if nothing else…

    The Best the Bucs can hope for is Trask is similar to Joe Burrows and gets to keep all their draft picks to fill in the gaps for a successful season…

  10. Buc92’ Says:

    Trade Brady rights already , they don’t have the guts bt SF can have him , give me Debo or bosa with picks or lance …Brady just doesn’t wana play here anymore & that’s okay . It’s actually perfect, Get Deshaun !

    GoBucs!

  11. Eric Says:

    Enough already.

    That’s exactly what we need to hear. Everything short of that is BS.

  13. Buccaneer Bonzai Says:

    You don’t suppose…Brady never intended to retire?

    Maybe he just doesn’t want to go through all the camps in the off season, and so he got with the team and told them that, so together they hatched this plan to claim he was retiring…but in the 11th hour he shows up at training camp?

    Wouldn’t that be a kicker.

  14. Cobraboy Says:

    This drama s#!t gets old.

  15. Buccaneer Bonzai Says:

    I would prefer Baker Mayfield over Watson…who will likely get a year suspension which will result in 2 years of not playing. That worked great for Michael Vick.

    Mayfield isn’t the perfect choice though…picks and fumbles are part of the package…right?

  16. Tye Says:

    People calling for Lance are just out right showing their bias… A qb that has little experience as a college qb over one that put mad stats against an all SEC schedule and nearly beat Bama in a high scoring game…

    Now I am not one sold on Trask but to think Lance with hardly any college qb experience is somehow a better option is just going by looks!

  17. Buccaneer Bonzai Says:

    Cobraboy Says
    “This drama s#!t gets old.”

    Tell me about it. And it’s not even Brady doing it…it is media criticizing everything he does and says.

  18. BUCman Says:

    Professional football use to be played by tough SOB’s who said what was on their mind. Now all we get is a bunch of drama queens who need the spot light on them 24/7. Brady, Roger’s, Wilson, Watson, Murray, Cousin’s……….Feels like I’m watching a Soap Opera show rather than the NFL. Next year instead of voting for MVP we should vote for BDQ (Biggest Drama Queen). I guarantee the voting will be very close with so many worthy candidates.

    Yup. So unbecoming the GOAT

    Gisele won’t let him come back.

    A “wince, a glance away and an inaudible response”.

    sound like my response when a hot girl is taking extra special care of me below the waist

    🙂

  22. Arturo Says:

    He’s waiting for us to find his replacement so he can request a trade.

  23. Winny Testaverde Says:

    In theory…not reality 👆🏻

  24. adam from ny Says:

    this is getting crazy with tom…

    he’s at the manchester game for the love of soccer?

    i doubt it…

    when it comes to tom, i really think he is above BA and Licht…

    so he is there to see the glazers and talk to them directly…

    or maybe not…because can’t they just meet in tampa?

    i think tom is starting to really mess up the team with his waffle housing…

    unless this indecision is forcing the team’s hand to go after another qb and trade tom…

    with tom sort of making it seem like he’s not abandoning the bucs and just waffling in indecision…

    this situation is starting to get pretty f’in weird and actually a bit…….distasteful

  25. Tampabaybucfan Says:

    Can we just stop it with Brady? He is retired until he isn’t.

    I will say this….it makes zero sense for him to come back and play for another team….new coaches, new teammates, new offense….new city…..why?

    Oh, I’ve figured it out….the chance to win a SB with 3 different teams.

  26. New England Patriots Fan Says:

    Since the IG announcement he has only done three public events, Jim Grey end of season podcast never say never, the Fred Couples take it day by day not looking into the future, and the onfield Renaldo IG story where he’s ask if he’s finished and mumbles something and winces.

    Every other story is about every media, scout, current teammate, TV personality, former Michigan players, former New England Patriots, relatives, Brady camp insiders etc, there is a daily segment on Rich Eisen show where every football related guest is asked what they know or feel Brady will do.

    The only non Brady source to watch is Gronk, if Gronks signs anywhere but Tampa or Raiders or 49ers Tom isn’t returning.

    Gronk knows what’s is happening, if Gronk sit out and waits, he’s waiting on Tom, if he signs with Cinci or Buffalo no way Tom returns.

  27. James Farrell Says:
