In a win and in scenario against division rival Carolina Panthers, Tom Brady exploded to throw 432 yards and three touchdowns

Don’t ever count out Tom Brady. In a win and in scenario against division rival Carolina Panthers, Tom Brady exploded to throw 432 yards and three touchdowns to lead the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to a win and the playoffs. All three of Brady’s touchdown passes went to Mike Evans, who had 207 receiving yards.

Brady, who has suffered an up-and-down season, faced a 14-0 hole during the game but, as Evans said, “Tom was dropping dimes.”

“Those were some really, really good balls. This was one of the best games I’ve seen Tom play since he’s been here.”

Brady spoke highly of Evans to ESPN, calling him “an amazing player.”

“I’ve missed him too many times this year, so it was nice to connect with him, and hopefully, we can keep that going. I think we will.”

Brady and Evans will likely be healthy scratches next week when the Bucs host the Atlanta Falcons to end their season. The Bucs will host a first-round playoff game and take on the Dallas Cowboys or Philadelphia Eagles.

Blaine Gabbert Reacts After Saving Four People From Helicopter Crash

by

Blaine Gabbert is currently being heralded as a hero right now thanks to what he did on Thursday night with his brothers. He and his brothers were riding some jet skis in Hillsborough Bay when they saw a helicopter crash into the water. There were four people in the helicopter, including the pilot, 28-year-old Hunter Hupp, and his parents Wes and Lisa.

Subsequently, Gabbert immediately went into motion as he called for first responders. Additionally, he drove over to the crash and saved all four people from drowning. The beach was nearby, so he drove them back, and everyone ultimately survived.

Blaine Gabbert Speaks

Following this act of heroism, every media person wanted to speak to Gabbert today. He went into detail about how he was able to get everyone out, while also crediting the first responders for all of their hard work.

“I was just right place, right time, I guess,” Gabbert explained, via Sports Illustrated. “… I got two on my jet ski, my brothers got one. The pilot was still in the water, and that was when you guys [Tampa police and fire departments] pulled up and I dragged him a little bit towards the boat and he got on. Luckily we were probably 250 meters from the beach, so we got them to the beach. The fire department, everybody was there, and the rest is history.

“… It wasn’t me, it was just my brothers and I out having fun. Credit goes to these guys [Tampa first responders], because if they weren’t there in the nick of time, it could have turned out bad.”

Overall, this is a truly incredible story. Although it could have been deadly, four people have been saved because of Gabbert’s quick thinking. Hopefully, he gets the credit he deserves for this.

Tom Brady Speaks On Looming Retirement Decision

by

Tom Brady has some massive decisions to make this off-season. Of course, last year, he decided to announce his retirement from football. However, just a month later, he decided to come out of retirement for one more season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Overall, this wasn’t exactly his best decision as the Bucs stand at a record of 7-8. Still, the Buccaneers are in a playoff spot and they are staring down a matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. If Brady can turn things around and win it all, then it will be his most unlikely Super Bowl run to date.

Will Tom Brady Retire?

During the most recent episode of his famous Let’s Go podcast, Brady was asked about making the retirement decision. As Brady explained, it isn’t something that is truly on his mind right now. Instead, he is thinking about finishing out this season and getting the best possible result. However, he did note that once he decides to retire, that’s it this time.

“I think what I really realized … was you’ve got to be really sure to do that,” Brady said. “And for me, you know, a lot of people have kind of gone through this situation. I’m going to take my time whenever that time does come.”

For football fans, it will certainly be bizarre to enter a season without Brady. he has played 23 seasons at this point, which means many fans have grown up with him.

Snoop Dogg Serenaded Tom Brady With A Christmas Carol While Smoking A Blunt

After changing his mind on retirement in March and returning to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for his 22nd NFL season, Tom Brady hasn’t had many reasons to smile in 2022. The seven-time Super Bowl champion finalized a divorce from Gisele Bündchen, his wife of 13 years, in October. The Bucs have stumbled to a 6-8 record, and Brady uncharacteristically accounted for four turnovers in a 34-23 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday, December 18.

Who did Brady call to help him get in the holiday spirit? The same person I’d call if I could: Snoop Dogg.

Snoop appeared on the December 19 episode of Let’s Go, Brady’s SiriusXM podcast with fellow NFL great Larry Fitzgerald and sportscaster Jim Gray. He serenaded Brady and Gray, both beaming like children, with an original Christmas carol.

“These nuts roasting on an open fire / Jack Frost nipping at the night,” Snoop sang while lighting a blunt. “It’s time for Jim Grady and TB to get away / But before they do / Roasting on a blunt, on an open fire / Jack Frost nipping at the smoke / Oh, Jim, oh, Tom / What a time that we had / Happy holidays from the D.O. Double G.”

Elsewhere in the episode, Brady asked Snoop to name the time he was most stoned in his life. “With Willie f*cking Nelson,” the new Death Row Records boss said. “We was in Amsterdam on 4/20.”

Tom Brady Is “Likely” To Retire After This Season

by

Tom Brady is one of the greatest professional athletes of all time. While he wasn’t the most talented player at his sport, he certainly knew how to win. Winning is all that matters at the end of the day, and with seven Super Bowls, it is clear that he’s a legend.

However, Brady is now experiencing quite the fall-off. This season, he has not been good, although he still has a shot at the playoffs. Either way, fans are starting to think that it might be time for Brady to call it quits. After all, that’s what he was supposed to do last year.

Tom Brady Speculation Continues

With the Buccaneers having a less-than-stellar season, it is starting to look likely that Brady will end up retiring. He becomes a free agent in the offseason, and some have speculated that he would go to New England. Moreover, there have been some reporters claiming he will go to Miami.

Now, however, a report from Mike Jones of The Athletic claims that many insiders have him retiring from the sport… for good this time. For now, this is simply a belief that has not been backed up by anything Brady has said. In fact, Brady has made it seem as though he still has a couple of years left.

Brady’s poor play this year indicates that if he continues, he will just fall off even harder. For someone’s legacy, it is important to go out on top. That said, perhaps it would make sense for Brady to hang up the cleats.

If Tom Brady is on your team has a fourth-quarter deficit is nothing to fear. With a rally in the fourth quarter to eliminate a 13-point deficit and win, Brady passed the great Peyton Manning for the most fourth-quarter comebacks. Brady now has 45.

In the fourth quarter, Brady threw for two touchdowns to outlast the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ division rival New Orleans Saints 17-16 and inch closer to securing a playoff berth with home-field advantage.

In the postgame, Brady revealed that his 10-year-old daughter expressed concern that he would be able to win the game.

“She was a little worried when I said, ‘We’re playing the Saints,’” Brady said. “She said, ‘I don’t know, Daddy.’”

Brady threw for 281 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception for the game.

SOURCE SPORTS: Rob Gronkowski Announces Retirement from NFL

Rob Gronkowski is retiring. Again. One of the greatest tight ends of all time is calling it a career at the age of 33. Gronk made the announcement on social media.

“I want to thank the whole entire first class Buccaneers organization for an amazing ride, trusting me to come back to play and help build a championship team,” Gronkowski said in his statement. “I will now be going back into my retirement home, walking away from football again with my head held high knowing I gave it everything I had, good or bad, every time I stepped out on the field.

“The friendships and relationships I have made will last forever, and I appreciate every single one of my teammates and coaches for giving everything they had as well. From retirement, back to football and winning another championship and now back to chilling out, thank you to all.”

Gronk who retired after his stint with the New England Patriots returned from retirement at the call of Tom Brady. Gronk’s agent, Drew Rosenhaus, told ESPN’s Adam Schefter that he would not be surprised if that happened again.

“It would not surprise me if Tom Brady calls him during the season to come back and Rob answers the call,” Rosenhaus said. “This is just my opinion, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Rob comes back during the season or next season.”

If it truly is a wrap, Gronk will finish his career with four Super Bowl wins, a four-time All-Pro, and five trips to the Pro Bowl. He also was named to the 2010s All-Decade Team and the 100th Anniversary All-Time Team. He also has the most career touchdowns by a tight end in postseason history. A future Hall of Fame resume for sure.

Antonio Brown & Floyd Mayweather Hit The Studio

Drake said it best on 2010’s “Thank Me Now”: “Damn, I swear sports and music are so synonymous / ‘Cause we want to be them, and they want to be us.”

Could we be getting a Floyd “Money” Mayweather verse in 2022? The undefeated boxing legend was photographed in the studio with popular NFL Wide Receiver Antonio Brown that has, of course, gone viral. The photo surfaced on Thursday morning (Mar 24), which shows AB and Floyd laughing with the billionaire in front of a mic, appearing to be rapping. No audio has surfaced; therefore, a collaboration between the two is merely speculation.

The possible collaboration would mark Mayweather’s music debut. Mayweather has been around hip hop his entire career, even as far as launching his record label, TMT, several years ago. However, the label has yet to produce a single release.

AB has been recording in Miami this week, preparing for his forthcoming debut album. AB has been in album mode since his controversial abrupt exit from his former team, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, during last season’s game against the New York Jets in January. The Buccaneers and AB have parted ways since. After the departure, AB released his new single, “Pit Not the Palace,” which has already accumulated over million views on YouTube.

The three-year deal allows for Godwin to become a free agent again right before he turns 30. The deal comes after Godwin was given the franchise tag for the second consecutive year.

Godwin will entire the next season by rehabbing from a torn ACL. He suffered the injury during a Week 15 tilt against heated, division rival New Orleans Saints. For the season, Godwin caught 98 balls for 1,103 yards.

For a few years now, Tom Brady has used social media to recap the football games he’s won with both the New England Patriots and, now, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. These recaps usually feature a motivational message from the football player followed by some highlights, usually with a song from a popular artist playing in the background. For this past Sunday’s win against the Indianapolis Colts, Brady recapped the game with a video that featured Freddie Gibbs and Big Sean’s “4 Thangs” in the background. Gibbs caught wind of this development and took to social media to celebrate.

Gibbs reposted Brady’s video on Instagram and wrote, “Tom Brady bout to turn me to a Bucs fan [laughing emoji].” He also reposted the video on Twitter, writing, “My dog TB12!!!”

Gibbs, who hails from Gary, Indiana, has spoken about his distaste for the Indianapolis Colts for well over a decade, as tweets from 2010 prove. “I fux wit DA BEARS and anybody that’s that’s playin the f*ckin colts,” he wrote in one tweet while another simply read, “F*ck the colts.” Gibbs also once wrote, “All y’all n****z from Gary that know y’all grew up as BEAR fans please stop d*ck ridin’ the colts cuz they in the super bowl.” This is in reference to the Colts’ Super Bowl matchup against the New Orleans Saints, in 2010 which they lost by a score of 31-17.
