He’s Back!
August 22nd, 2022
Returned.
He has risen!
Tom Brady is back at One Buc Palace per Jenna Laine of ESPN. Fresh from his family vacation in the Bahamas, Brady is ready to rally his beat up offensive line and march the Bucs into another Super Bowl chase.
Right now, all feels right with the world for Joe.
August 22nd, 2022 at 8:32 am
So glad he is back!
August 22nd, 2022 at 8:37 am
Good bye to all the fools he has made of all the people that said he would not be back.
August 22nd, 2022 at 8:38 am
Bahamas huh? Noice!!
August 22nd, 2022 at 8:40 am
Never a doubt
August 22nd, 2022 at 8:40 am
Jeff, Joe is sorry he ruined your day. Well I’m guessing anyways. Nice job trolling for a week though. Good Lord.
August 22nd, 2022 at 8:43 am
Here we go!
August 22nd, 2022 at 8:43 am
Is that the sun I see shining just a little bit brighter?
August 22nd, 2022 at 8:44 am
Those who where under panic, can be back to normal….just throw your Xanax to the toillet and don´t forget to flush it…..
August 22nd, 2022 at 8:44 am
It was Brady’s son’s birthday. Have to think that had something to do with it.
August 22nd, 2022 at 8:44 am
Fans talk to much
August 22nd, 2022 at 8:45 am
I guess he can’t sing
August 22nd, 2022 at 8:46 am
Just like I figured. Happy wife, happy life. Giselle laid the law down.
August 22nd, 2022 at 8:49 am
Finally some good news.
August 22nd, 2022 at 8:50 am
OUR SAVIOR!!!
August 22nd, 2022 at 8:53 am
For those who thought that Brady would ruin his reputation by quitting on his team right before the season…….you need help.
August 22nd, 2022 at 8:53 am
I never understood the hyperventilating anyways.
August 22nd, 2022 at 9:00 am
Can Jeff come out and play? Can all you trolls come out to play today? Hiding in your mommies basement? I got it! You should be!
August 22nd, 2022 at 9:01 am
The way that some in the media have handled this Brady’s personal leave of absence has been outright disgraceful. Here’s a man who’s spent his entire career as being the most well prepared and detailed player in the league. His work ethic and leadership are unquestioned. There have been numerous stories about his great work ethic. A lot of them have been posted by the Joes. In his 23 year career, he’s gone deep into the playoffs for twenty of them, which means he’s had a shorter off-season the most. Of course, here in Tampa we would have no clue about the post season grind because we were a disaster before Brady was signed. Brady had spoken numerous times, most recently in his documentary, how his obsession with football has tormented him and he hopes it wouldn’t affect his children.
So knowing his history, and what’s been said by he and his wife about the lack of balance between work and life, you had to know if he’s taken a personal leave of absence it’s something of importance to him that would cause him to miss parts of training camp. It’s something that’s no one else’s business. I’d imagine if anyone took a personal leave that you would find it off putting if people engaged in rampant speculation as to your whereabouts. Some say he’s on a vacation and use it some derisive way. It’s been speculated that the absence was because he was headed for divorce. People have said he’s secretly suspended, his mom was very ill, HGH injection therapy, he’s appearing on the Masked Singer, and the most bonkers of all is that he’s in hiding because Trump’s house was raided. All of this crazy speculation because Brady had the audacity not to hold a news conference and tell the media the reason for his absence. It’s just been absolutely shameful the way some media and fans have discussed this issue.
He came in early to camp as Bowles has stated because he wanted to get in some work with the new guys. He accomplished his goal. Gage went out with an injury and Julio doesn’t practice much. Evans and CG are both still out. So essentially he would be throwing passes in extreme heat to guys most likely not to be on the team. That seems very unproductive. As far as the OL, until the OL is set with its he wouldn’t be able to gain any valuable chemistry anyway. He can’t help these guys pass block. That’s on them and our OL coaches.
If Brady was Aaron Rodgers, he would hold his press conference when he returned, and unload on every single media who thought they were entitled to know why he was out with his personal leave of absence. It would be glorious. Brady would never, but boy it would be fun.
August 22nd, 2022 at 9:05 am
Feels like Brady showed up just in time to see his offensive line DEVASTATED. I don’t care who’s playing QB. This O line we have right now will get TB12 killed.
The brittle Bucs are in big big trouble.
Tom you shoulda stayed retired.
August 22nd, 2022 at 9:06 am
Hopefully the bloviating idiots [experts] are eating crow for breakfast and feeling better.
Welcome back Tom
August 22nd, 2022 at 9:09 am
I def was worried, won’t lie. Very happy he’s back!!! Now, can we please get him suitable protection!
August 22nd, 2022 at 9:10 am
Aww man I was really hoping Brady was hanging it up so Trask can begin what is sure to be a HOF career.
August 22nd, 2022 at 9:12 am
BS on the Bahamas
August 22nd, 2022 at 9:15 am
What will the sports journalists and pundits now have to talk about?
August 22nd, 2022 at 9:17 am
Am I the only one who feels BAD that he’s back???
I’m afraid he’s gonna get absolutely destroyed with the depleted OL he’s now stuck with.
I’m worried for Tom!
Licht better doing something fast and get Tom some far better protection or Tom and his array of WRs are gonna be pretty much worthless.
August 22nd, 2022 at 9:18 am
God is good. I was not worried to Tom the player but to his personal life/health.
August 22nd, 2022 at 9:23 am
I’m predicting Ms Laine will pepper every person she interviews this week with 5 or 6 800 word questions where she states her long winded hypotheses in question form and the asks “What’s it Like….” When shes ass questions her words spoken to information gleaned ratio is suspect.
August 22nd, 2022 at 9:23 am
A big, giant nothing-burger.
No mature athlete wants or needs to go through the rah-rah “we are a team” speeches, conditioning drills, and such for a 22nd year. He enjoyed time with his family. Tom Brady is the exception to every rule, make believe or otherwise. The knuckle draggers need to stop with the “He’s GotTa bE tHeRe foR hIs tEaM” crap.
August 22nd, 2022 at 9:26 am
Haha, dunk and dink will keep Tom on his feet! You thought he had a quick release, shot gun formation and speedy receivers should mitigate a weaker line until new pass blockers arrive.
August 22nd, 2022 at 9:28 am
Now all we need is for Jason to fix the O line.
August 22nd, 2022 at 9:28 am
Tampabaybucsfan
No doubt indeed. And those same people accuse you of being clueless 😂
Jeff
Go back to taking it from the front and the back 😂
August 22nd, 2022 at 9:29 am
SB-LV and Oneilbucyall are all bent out of shape, they want Brady off the roster so Bucs fans can watch Gabbert and Trask shat themselves on national TV. He’s back so all you fans can put your brown bags back in your closet until next season, except SB and Oneilbucyall keep yours on so the real losers in the stands can be identified.
August 22nd, 2022 at 9:34 am
Nobody with Brady money vacations in the Bahamas in August
August 22nd, 2022 at 9:38 am
Listnfrmafar. I can care less about Brady coming back . I knew he was coming back but this is the last year with Brady and then you can go back to the Patriots where you came from. Every one knows your a Brady fan and not a real bucs fan. You said it your self once Brady leaves you will be gone. So your opinion about the bucs don’t even matter.
August 22nd, 2022 at 9:39 am
SB-LV not a fan of your Brady hate but I will say your last post is valid.
August 22nd, 2022 at 9:50 am
Oneilbucyall, so your a true Bucs fan even though you don’t care for the QB that gives them the best chance of winning? So you saw your boy Trask who you believe should start. Do you still feel the same way? I saw a guy that shows potential but a VERY slow release and tends to toss up balloons from time to time. What true fan wants their team to lose? Yes once Brady is gone I am to but I would consider me a bigger fan than you at least I want to see them win. I have become a big fan of many of the players, the coaching staff, not so much. The team is too good to have average at best coaches.
August 22nd, 2022 at 9:50 am
I realize this was a precondition for Brady coming back from retirement, but it’s a terrible look for everyone involved.
August 22nd, 2022 at 9:51 am
Good news is he brought souvenirs for everybody.
August 22nd, 2022 at 9:57 am
I was just down in the Bahamas a couple of weeks ago (Grand Cay/Treasure Cay) and was told Brady had a place at Bakers Bay. It is an exclusive private resort. Not a bad place for a vacation. Glad he is back and hopefully refreshed. Now if we can only find a guard.
August 22nd, 2022 at 10:16 am
Listnfrmafar
Oneilbuc is pretty much only a Jameis Winston fan. He is hoping Trask plays and does not play as well as Jameis’ so he can blame the organization.
He blamed almost every interception Jameis threw on the receiver.
He was on the site when Arians canned Winston for Brady saying it was Arians who was inept.
He was on the site then proclaiming there was no way the Bucs could win the Super Bowl with Brady and Arians.
He was on the site when Winston went 5 for his first 5 for the Saints.
He is on the site now saying the Bucs will have a losing record and that we should play Trask.
I understand Brady fans coming on the site. I really do not understand Jameis Winston only fans still on the site 2 and 1/2 years later.
August 22nd, 2022 at 10:26 am
What was he supposed to accomplish the last 11 days in practice? Get used to throwing to guys who won’t even make the team or backups for the big 4 starters?
Yeah, he could have thrown the ball a few times to Julio the past week and a half and to a gimpy Godwin. He’ll probably do that on his own in his spare time with these guys.
Nah, Brady didn’t miss a thing and neither did the Bucs while he was gone.
August 22nd, 2022 at 10:32 am
Dirk Koetter, Bruce Arians, and Sean Payton couldn’t fix Jameis but after 8 years Dennis Allen is going to be the guy. Source: Trust me bro
August 22nd, 2022 at 10:35 am
Those 10-11 days seemed very very long for the Bucs fans and the media to endure. Seemed like an eternity!
August 22nd, 2022 at 10:38 am
LFG
August 22nd, 2022 at 10:43 am
Finally the returninatter is back, quick to the chopper we got a season to win
Not sorry 🤠❤️🙏
August 22nd, 2022 at 10:45 am
Get Tretter, 2021 stats: 1039 snaps, 1 sack allowed, 5 penalties…sounds pretty good to me! Go get him Jason !
August 22nd, 2022 at 10:45 am
Winston was not 7-0 with the Saints to start the season. The Saints were 7-0 with Winston. In other words, Oneilbuc is giving Winston a whole lot of undeserved credit.
Winston averaged less than 170 yards passing per game and had 14 TDs with 3 INTs during that stretch. It was the Alvin Kamara show with Winston being dragged across the goal line by Kamara’s coattails and the play of the Saints’ stellar defense.
Brady during the first 7 games last year averaged 325 yards per game and had 21 TDs with 3 INTs during the first 7 games.
In other words, it ain’t even close. And, for anyone who thinks Kyle Trask is the answer, you’re all delusional. Barring injury, Trask will never start a game in the NFL for any team during his career.
August 22nd, 2022 at 10:53 am
I’m bummed he’s not a Masked Singer. I was hoping for his rendition of Thunderstruck or Paradise by the Dashboard Lights.>/i>
(I don’t care how nice the digs are. The Bahamas in August is almost intolerable.)
In any event, can we please get past the Colts unscathed, find some interior OL depth, get the walking wounded healthy, and LFG!!!!!?????
August 22nd, 2022 at 10:53 am
Happy Birthday to his son!
LFG!!
August 22nd, 2022 at 10:54 am
Tom should of took the rest of the starters to the Bahamas with him so nobody would of got hurt in them 10 days.
August 22nd, 2022 at 11:03 am
Maybe Suh vacationed with them?
August 22nd, 2022 at 11:28 am
Maybe Suh for G lol
Welcome back TB12
LFG!!!
August 22nd, 2022 at 12:07 pm
Solid. Now we just need an interior OL.
August 22nd, 2022 at 12:11 pm
I was worried he was gonna pull ab on us
August 22nd, 2022 at 12:11 pm
Can Suh play guard?
August 22nd, 2022 at 12:27 pm
geno agreed, anything to slander his WHITE QB and make Winsten look better.
August 22nd, 2022 at 1:36 pm
I don’t understand the mentality of the guy who picks his favorite team because of a particular player or players on their roster. I am a Buc fan because of the city in their name. I’m a UF grad, but I don’t give a damn where our players went to school or where they played in the NFL before they came here. I’m a “homer” and if you think that is a disparaging term then you have no loyalty to your home. I am a fan of all the players on our roster and the better they play and the more they contribute to winning, the more I like them. Right now, no Buc helps us win more than Tom Brady. You people that want him off the team now must love FSU or UF or the Pats more than the Bucs. It’s a free country, so you can be a slimy troll if you want to, but fans like me are just as free to call you out.
August 22nd, 2022 at 1:38 pm
Brady has a certain cache amongst his teammates. It’s the only reason this vacation was acceptable. Look at Wilson’s report. Brady probably wanted to be at camp, and super G demanded this time. Would you rather be a teammate of Ryan Tannehill? who’s at camp every day, or Brady. I still have a problem with the absence, simply because of this fact. If they get off to a slow start, and Brady has trouble connecting with him new recievers, everyone will point to the time off. Whatever, it’s on to Dallas.
August 22nd, 2022 at 1:46 pm
Contrary to Popular Belief,
“Reports of My Death are Greatly Exaggerated”
August 22nd, 2022 at 2:05 pm
Just one question. Can Brady play offensive guard too?
August 22nd, 2022 at 2:07 pm
Now, I can sleep well at night ! 🙂
August 22nd, 2022 at 2:21 pm
LFG !!! Go BUCS!!!
August 22nd, 2022 at 2:57 pm
You all should feel stupid for all your speculation!!!
August 22nd, 2022 at 2:58 pm
TB12 = Bucs Relevence in NFL
No TB12 = No relevence
Thankful Brady is back.
GO BUCS!!!
August 22nd, 2022 at 3:13 pm
I’m going to assume, while he was ‘retired’, he promised his family a trip before school started, something like that, and when he ‘unretired’ he told the team he had made that promise and planned to stick to it, and the Bucs said, ‘OK BOSS, WHATEVER YOU WANT’, which was the proper answer.
But Brady will be fine, it’s not like he actually needs the extended camp in the Florida sun in August. In fact it’s kind of a waste since the Bucs don’t even have a home game until the end of September, and even that is a 4:25p game.
In fact the Bucs, once again, aren’t getting much of a home field advantage, of bringing teams to Tampa to face the heat in early September. That seems like a pattern over the last few years.
August 22nd, 2022 at 4:00 pm
Who’s the kid in the pic wearing #12?

August 22nd, 2022 at 7:06 pm
The best jackass in the game is back! Line up sychophants and get on your knees for the donkey show. Likely another tampering “vacation” because we know poor entitled Tommy and fam are so deprived that they gotta vacate during his 6 month work yr.
SB or FU, TB. LFG!
August 22nd, 2022 at 7:24 pm
Chibuc, seek mental help.
August 22nd, 2022 at 7:28 pm
ChiBuc, alias Oneilbucyall, SB-LV, and your answer at QB is? Winsten is not available.
August 22nd, 2022 at 7:29 pm
“6 month work year”… except he has several business ventures, as does his wife, those schedules likely don’t all align. He also has multiple children, one of whom does not live with him. School is 10 months a year, and the schedule of the other mother etc has to also be aligned with Tom’s to make family time work. Always amazing to see grown men be so completely overwhelmed by emotions that the stuff that’s said in these comments gets said. No ability to think at all. Just feels, feels, feels. Grow up lol. He’s back, as any rational person knew he would be. Bucs have a chance to win. Go bucs!
This site was an amazing find, but the way some writers and fans have reacted to these recent Tom stories is unfortunate… good thing it doesn’t reflect the team. Again, go bucs!
August 22nd, 2022 at 8:14 pm
ChiBuc, Oneilbuc, SB-LV…..
Hello.
The rest of us are happy.
August 22nd, 2022 at 8:15 pm
You all are one & the same, correct?
LOL.
August 22nd, 2022 at 8:16 pm
Jeff seems oddly quiet.
August 22nd, 2022 at 8:17 pm
Nope. Love me some TB, but hate the drama and BS. He keeps toying with fans and you whelp, “thank you, may I have another.” As soon as he is no longer a Buc, that mofo is dead to me.
August 22nd, 2022 at 8:27 pm
I don’t give a sh!t what ventures he has. Meaningless to me and you. I am a buccaneers fan, not a backstreet Brady boy apologist. Tis you that should seek help for your twisted reality. TB don’t care about you. Ur a freak for thinking he identifies with you as much as you fantasize he does. Join the real world, where ppl are held accountable to show up at work.. sick of his little MS games and listening to you chip lil fools every timeTommy strings you along like a desperate lil school girl.. Life exists beyond TB. He is good for 1 thing, imo, superbowls. Other than that, he’s just your fantasy man crush
August 22nd, 2022 at 8:30 pm
Chi, so you don’t know anyone that came out of retirement or anyone that negotiated a vacation when starting a job? I guess he could of asked for $60MM and crippled the team. Grow up, this is the real world, football is just a entertainment sport that others can live vicariously through.
August 22nd, 2022 at 8:43 pm
ChiBuc, damn dude, all the fantasize, man crush, man boi, blah blah blah, whatever the hell else…. lol
Don’t really know what in the hell the point was.
But, then again, it probably doesn’t matter.
Thankful to have 3 seasons with Tom, been a hell of a ride.
BUT..
I was a BUCS fan long before TB was here & will be long after.
I eat, sleep & breathe TAMPA BAY sports.
They are and always will be #1 in my world.
BUCS, LIGHTNING, RAYS.
August 22nd, 2022 at 9:05 pm
Oh, I’m going to root for him as a Buc just as hard as I rooted against him when he was a Pat.
I get the Fandom. Gonna always represent for my hometown team. But sorry man, I gotta life. I don’t need to live vicariously through a sport. That’s a bit sad.
You are naive as fuk, if you do not see that his football salary is chump change to the glory, endorsements, and opportunities playing the game brings him. He is way too smart to hurt his chances of winning over a few mill when a billion is up for grabs. Come on. Do you really think he takes a pay cut for you, fanboy? Because he’s selfless and cares? You really are smitten… that’s cute.
August 22nd, 2022 at 9:29 pm
The IQ of the average poster has been skewed to the negative by a few that would make Simple Jack look intelligent.
Good grief .
Drrrrrrrhhh.
August 22nd, 2022 at 9:31 pm
Regardless of all the spin that this was all a big nothingburger, it was absolutely mishandled by Brady and the team. There is no excuse for the mysteriousness.
Simple explanations? Fine, explain simply and in a timely fashion. That is how to stop the rumors and speculation.
Whatever the reason was, you can bet that if it had simply been announced at the get-go, nobody would have had any concerns. Shrug. Fine, Tom, do what you have to do. THAT’S IT.
August 22nd, 2022 at 9:54 pm
CHI,,,
Would absolutely love to see you say that to my face…. pathetic dweeb.
Go back to Chicago & root for your Bears.
August 23rd, 2022 at 12:00 am
Lol…who are you, Demon? Don’t flatter yourself. I didn’t even realize you were in the room, but apparently you felt addressed. Settle down and chug another Busch.
Fool. I’ve been a buc fan before your daddy was loosing bait to blue crabs at ballast point, before your “world” (bolts & rays) even existed. You seem to have a reading comprehension problem.
August 23rd, 2022 at 9:52 am
Chibuc, what are you doing?. It’s a damn game and you’re acting like it’s gang wars. Ppl here are pointing out that he went on vacation, during his sons birthday which was probably planned before he came back from retirement, and you’re acting like Tom murdered 1000 kids and we’re all just smiling. You say it’s other ppl who are obsessed with Tom, all I see is the rational ppl pointing out that it’s just a vacation that was agreed upon before camp, and then you losing your mind cuz apparently you think Tom should meet with you personally, give you constant updates on his life, ask your permission before doing anything, check that things won’t hurt your feelings etc etc etc and you have the gall to think that it’s the other ppl who are obsessed? You’re a delusional 10yr old acting like the dodgeball game you’re in has life and death stakes. Calm down. There is an insane level of projection comeeing from you. I mean, you’re legit pulling the “who are you” and “I’ve been doing X since before…” cards. Sooo cringy. Like, really embarrassing. This is a simple forum to talk bucs. You’re investment here is really over the top.
August 23rd, 2022 at 9:59 am
And if you don’t care about his ventures, then don’t say he only has a 6 month work year lol. Those venture directly refute your point. If you’re going to mention the work he has, you’re gonna hear about ALL the work her has lol. Silly to expect otherwise.
Literally no one is making excuses. The adults in the room are just calmly stating “it was vacation” and you’re so triggered by this mundane, emotionless statement that you proceed to 13yr-old-bro vomit into the chat board. Life is okay, the team is okay, let this place be the same great place it was before ppl lost their minds.
August 23rd, 2022 at 12:15 pm
The man has been to 47 playoff games. That’s almost 3 full seasons of regular season games in addition to his 20 years as a starter (minus his 2000 rookie season and 2008 injured season)! Essentially he’s been playing 23 seasons worth of football, while the Lions have been to only 3 playoff games in this century! You would think the man deserves a mini vacation?
August 23rd, 2022 at 12:27 pm
How did you come out on the mask singer ?
August 23rd, 2022 at 12:29 pm
You can sing your song you sing on the mask singer on the Superbowl winning stage
