    I half expected him to come back, given that his final loss was to a man of color...

    Looks like she took the time to ask ChatGPT to write a "good luck" message to some dude retiring from football. Cold!

    This is vfish level dumb.

    Yes, many, many people give a rat's ass about Tom Brady. Certainly more people in the US than care about, to pick an example completely at random, the Chicago Fire. I mean, dude, you're here on a message board talking about the 5th most popular team sport. Football is the most popular team sport.

    :cool::eek::rolleyes:

    It's snark but he is partially right. On this list there are more cricketers than American footballers

    I was looking for Q ratings for athletes but this was best I found. Guess point is American footballers are not really on people's radars around the world.

    Ah, the old "let's pretend this isn't a US-based forum" schtick.

    I don't know about giving a rat's ass, but as a Chargers fan who suffered during the Brady era, I have nothing but respect for an athlete who played at such a high level for so long -- and did it with class.

    Pretty good but he is no George Blanda.

    Not even a Joe Montana. I don't consider any of those New England teams in the top 10 all time.

    I've looked at Brady's "TB12" system: strange diet advice (some really whacky) exercise (resistance bands are actually good, though Brady's are way overpriced) and other weird theories (electrolyes and proper hydration prevent sunburn).

    It appears that Blanda had a different approach. The "GB16" in one picture.

    Whiskey and cigerettes. Worked for him. I'm not going to try it, though.

    I do have a favorite Pats team, though: The one that missed a perfect season by something like 30 seconds when the Giants knocked them off in the Super Bowl. That was sweet.

    Right? It's all about what Rodgers is saying on Pat McaFee each week. Aaron is the only one speaking truth to power. *I'm gonna go yakuza my left pinky as atonement for typing this now*
