    I know Paul, but it get's old. Aren't you tired of explaining the same old thing over and over? It's like someone on here isn't paying attention. ;)

    Without debate, Tom Brady is by far the most recognizable active player in the NFL today, arguably in all of American team sports up there with LeBron James. And he's coming off a Super Bowl winning season.

    When Brady puts together a few bad games, without question the media is going to jump all over him, with stories about should he now retire because of his age.

    Ten or more years from now if Brady develops CTE or is in constant pain because of playing too long in the NFL, there will be continuous news stories about that as well.

    All that is possible Steve, but...…..IT....IS....HIS....CHOICE!!!! Which one of those words confuses you. ;)

    Well, we just may have to wait and see ten or twenty years from now who's right. ;)

    Well then maybe Congress should mandate a federal age limit on professional sports. Say 40 years old for an NFL quarterback, even if it's in the middle of the season. Perhaps 30 years old for a running back.

    Mitch Trubisky will continue to get better and the Bears will be Super Bowl bound.
    Trubisky goes up against the best defense in the NFL everyday in practice and that can only help him improve.

    hey do you want to date exclusively?

    you'll never be able to outrun a bad diet

    Maybe when I'm done dating Gal Gadot exclusively.

    I am anxious to see if Mahomes continues at last years pace. If he does the rest of the League is in BIG trouble for a long time! The kid was on fire last year.

    Whats the point though? You know as well as I do in the last 2 minutes of the big game Andy Reid will lose track of how many time outs he has and the 70 TD passes Mahomes throws will just lead them to the golf course again.

    Saquon Barkley will rush for over 2000 yards this year....

    I think he will Rush for about 1400-1500 AND get close to 1000 receiving yards. He could set the record for single season rushing & receiving yards. I think he is that good

    Prediction - Tom Brady will not play football forever.....

    .....as some Patriots fans believe he will.

    I agree with ya! I just don’t know how many more Seasons he will dominate for 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆

    You know i like Brady and wish him well.

    But just a bad feeling that a career ending injury is going to set him down. i'm not saying it will be this season, but for sure he is pressing his luck with possibly getting a debilitating injury at his age, which could affect him for the rest of his life.

    I think he may wind up regretting that he didn't retire after last season.

    All that money and fame doesn't do much good if you can hardly walk, from an injury which could have been easily avoided.

    Just my two cents and it's not even worth that.

    Well it all depends on why he continues to play, I’m 50/50 on it, one part of me thinks he wants all the passing records while the other part thinks it’s all about his love of the game. If it’s ALL about his love of the game then who can blame him for doing what he loves?

    I have never met Tom Brady, but I have joked with my wife that if I ever do, I will tell him that we have one thing in common (A Brazilian wife) and that I understand why he wants to keep playing for so long. :D My wife does not love this joke, but does actually think that Gisele is most likely a big reason he keeps playing rather than settle into retirement.

    I think it is his love for the game and his desire for the records. They seem to work hand in hand. His love for the game and it's history is such that he wants to become an even greater piece of it's history than he already is.

    Just to clarify, I am referring to him continuing to play so as to spend less time with her, not because she wants him to play....

    i may get stoned to death for saying this, but i find gisele to be grossly overrated from a looks perspective

    as for saquon, i think we're going to get a clear gauge of his intrinsic worth throughout this season. if i'm a d-coord on an opposing team, i'm sticking 8 in the box and utilizing my fastest lb to shadow him all over the field. if old man manning beats me with a wr corps that's already ailing before the season even starts (and was less talented to begin with after OBJ's departure), then let it be so. but no way, no how would i allow that tasmanian devil to beat me.

    you'll never be able to outrun a bad diet

    I’m with you on both accounts. I can think of a bunch of woman I’d rather have than Giselle. Truth be told she could get me to marry her after about 5 minutes or less but still. On Barkley I think he has the potential to do the combined Rush/Rec record IF things work out in his favor, there are variables to consider Ofcourse.

    Which is precisely why the Giants won't have a winning record this season.

    Yes of course Barkley may often light up the board with his stats, but it won't be good enough where it counts...getting the team into the playoffs.

    I didn't google it, but she seems to have an interesting mixture of German and Hispanic, which is not uncommon in Brazil. That to me is hot...red hot. :)

    The bottom line is she was or still is a supermodel. Case closed.

    just so all y'all know , your sissy takes on the brady cliff incident inspired me to fling two children off a cliff into lake Winniepesauke last week .

    There was also another incident where kids were jumping off the same spot by themselves and I didn't participate , directly ............. I was only shooting bottle rockets at them but sadly scored no direct hits

    True.

    Although the thing about Hitler escaping to there. Didn't happen.

    Adolf blew his brains out in the bunker and it was good riddance. Saved time at the Nuremberg Trials.

    You know i'm just having some fun with ya about Gisele.

    Everyone has their own particular taste in women as we all know. Variety is the spice of life. :)
