Man in the Arena...No More?

Yesterday evening ESPN reported that after 22 seasons, 7 Super Bowl wins (10 appearances)  and over 86,000 passing yards, Thomas Edward Brady Jr ("Tommy"), was retiring. As the tributes poured in the news was seemingly confirmed by Brady's company, TB12...


...or was it? Because not long after the company deleted the Tweet and there were reports that Brady has, in fact, not made a decision. Brady has stated he didn't want his retirement plans to divert attention from the playoffs. And yet, here we are. The biggest NFL news of he day is whether or not Brady comes back for a 23rd season and not about the divisional championship games today. And why not? He's has literally had the careers of three Hall of Famers as this graphic shows:


Remarkably, this season was one of his best as led the NFL in both passing yards and touchdown passes. So, yeah...we'd love a 23rd season, but if not...thanks for all that you did for the game! He was the quintessential "Man in the Arena."
