Being born in the year 2000, I have never known a NFL without Brady. It feels like apart of football is dying, not just a great player but someone even more then that. I truly can't describe how I feel Brady has affected the sport, but I'm grateful to see him go so he can finally stop tormenting the league. On the other hand saying goodbye to his career, it's like saying goodbye to that buddy in high school you know you probably won't see ever again.

I don't think younger people realize how good Tom was in his prime. They always won. For 20 years the patriots always won.

I HATED Tom when he started, but during the 2012 game vs San Fran when they came back from 31-3 down with 4 straight touchdown drives, I was just like "damn, THAT is impressive, THAT is how you play quarterback." And who could forget the EPIC 2018 AFC Championship game vs the Chiefs. While I hated how he ALWAYS beat us, and I always loved seeing him lose, I'm FOREVER GRATEFUL to have seen his entire career. Best of luck Tom, we all love you, even if we hate you.

Tom has more Super Bowl rings than any NFL franchise EVER. That’s the end of the GOAT argument, possibly forever.

There have been 56 superbowls and tom brady has been in like 10 of them. Crazy!

It’s not only the fact that he won 7 SB but it’s also how he won them. They were masterful. Comebacks. Clutch plays. The story behind the SB is what make his championships special. I went from hating him growing up to respecting him and eventually loving his tenacity and leadership.

10 SB appearances is just insane. What I like about Tom is his passion and burning desire to win and win and win 🐐

Pat you gotta get Tom on the show. Since you guys are much different from national tv programs bud being more open with questioning and your banter I feel it would be a great interview

What he accomplished was incredible I just don’t see anyone duplicating it. He’s the goat.

There was a point where Tom Brady had a higher % chance to go to an AFC championship game than Steph Curry has of hitting a three point shot.

My favorite part of Tom Brady is still how underrated he was and how every team (including the Patriots) passed on him and didn’t think he would ever bring much to the table. To go from being a 6th round pick and a fourth string quarterback his rookie year to being a 3 time league MVP and a 7 time SB champion. The Brady 6 really puts his journey into perspective and how it obviously influenced his drive to becoming the greatest

No! Nobody will ever…. not like this…… not like him….. complete dominance for 23 years 💯🔥♾️🐐

No one will be able to replicate what he did. Granted he didnt do it alone. Great coaches and players around him helped. But he was also seriously clutch in the times he needed to be. In my mind he's the greatest QB to ever play the game.

One thing people are forgetting: Tom Brady was a fine tuned machine, he only made it this far because he had it down to a science with his staff. I don’t see any other player doing something this close, I mean the man left his family to keep it up.

So glad I was just old enough to watch NFL football in the late 00s/early 10s. Pats/ravens/Steelers/colts (with manning) matchups were legendary

Atlanta player - "Its Tom Brady though" Panthers player- "not with that quaterback" All supoerbowls BTW.

Brady has the win over Patrick in the SB and it also is the longevity, despite being more talented will he be able to take care of his body the way Tom did ?

Imagine 80 for Brady has an end credit scene where Tom announces he’s actually not retiring and he’s signing with another team lol

how many superbowls will someone have to win to even get in the goat conversation? cuz let's be real very possible 7 will never happen again.

I’m grateful as a Bucs fan that we got to watch him lead us for these last few seasons. Everything he says to the media, his teammates, it’s always the right thing and it’s always class. Incredible leader of men. I loved this guy, and I used to not like him from a far because he always won. But seeing him up close made me understand why he is what he is. Thank you Tom ❤

Sure Tom has 7 super bowl victories but let's not forget his 3 loses, this man was 20 years into his carrer and had an above 50% superbowl appearance rate. Fan or not you cant just luck into a situation and be that good for that long.

I never understood "signal stealing" - it seemed like the most normal thing we did in baseball forever

I hated him as a kid because he always won, I really hated him as a teenager because he always won, but as an adult, throughout my 20's, I respected him because he still won.

respect to the man who always took pay cuts and restructured his contracts so his teams could add the right pieces to their winning ways...

You have to RESPECT him! That’s the least coming from a Ravens fan!! Hurts to say but he is the GOAT 🐐

Patriots ran the league for 20 years it's impressive

Tom Brady is in the category of Ruth, DiMaggio, Gretzky, Russell, Andretti, Petty, and Jordan, Phelps, and Bolt. Standards that will not be matched.

Crazy Bookmark to a career Brady SB MVP in 2001 and led the NFL in passing TD's in 2002 *21 years later* Brady SB MVP in 2020 and led the league in passing TD's in 2021 Beyond Insane

I think Tom Brady really did not want to retire, but he felt that after showing Tampa Bay what it feels like and what it takes to become Superbowl Champions, they really did nothing to fortify the team to ensure they became a Dynasty. He did not think the team was going to really improve enough next year to win it all, and I am also sure he did not want to go through the indignity of trying to CONVINCE another team that he brings intangibles that cannot be quantified and that he is STILL THE GREATEST QB to EVER PLAY. He will enter the NFL Hall of Fame before New England wins another AFC EAST Title and Tom Brady will probably become a grandfather before New England ever wins another AFC Championship or Superbowl. This is also the fate of Tampa Bay. Tom Brady absolutely STANDS ALONE as the greatest QB to EVER play in the NFL. He is absolutely Peerless. He stands alone atop the Pantheon of Greatest NFL QB's. There are at least 20 Records that Tom Brady possesses that will NEVER BE BROKEN: Most combined career passing yards (102,614) Most combined career touchdowns (737) Most consecutive seasons on a winning team (21) Oldest QB to win an AFC and NFC title Most Super Bowl wins by a starting quarterback (7) Most Times appearing in a SuperBowl as a Starting QB (10) Only QB to Win a SuperBowl in 3 Different Decades Only QB to Win 5 SuperBowl MVP's Most Yards thrown in a SuperBowl (505) Most Pass Attempts in a SuperBowl (62) Most Pass Completions in a SuperBowl(43) Most Career Game Winning Drives to win a SuperBowl (6) Most Career Completions in the SuperBowl (277) Most career TD's in the Playoffs (88) Most Career Pass attempts in the SuperBowl(421) Most Division Titles (19) Oldest player to win NFL MVP (40 years old) Only NFL QB to beat all 32 NFL teams Most Wins by a starting quarterback (251) Most Career Passing Yards in the Post Season (13,400) His professionalism, fire, willpower and competitiveness will be missed. Tom Brady is the Best of the Best Thanks for the memories, Tom Brady. I miss him already.

Remember when people thought there’d never be someone as great as Montana? Pepperidge Farms remembers.

I remember being 8 and being sick of the patriots because they had won 3 out of 4 super bowls. I’m 27 now. There won’t ever be another brady.

He'll take a couple years off, but he'll be back in his early 50s mark my words.

Truley an end of an era. Im not sad hes gone. Just happy we got to see him when he was there.

The answer to this is quite simply no. And the reason being is that Tom Brady is in the stratosphere all by himself. I've never seen a player like him I've never seen a quarterback do so much with so little. Between his work ethic and his desire to be better every single game and every single offseason I cannot foresee another player coming anywhere near to Tom Brady's level.

Brady will be the GOAT forever. I am 21, he’s been balling my entire life. I don’t even remember his first 3 rings because I wasn’t competent enough. I do remember him always beating my Steelers ass. Guy just found ways to win. All these other Hall of Fame quarterbacks like Favre, Peyton Manning, Marino- played a long time like him, but not at that high of a level. Brady won his 7TH Super Bowl in his 40’s! Goat.

6:00 That was a glorious night of hanging out with a bunch of college homies in the windy city, drinking some brews, praying for a Bears dub. When Brady lost count of the downs the entire room erupted. Great moment, I live in Colorado now and miss awesome times like that with my friends. 🐻⬇

Pat now you need to get Tommy on the show and ask him all the questions.

I live 60 miles north of Dallas and was an old time Cowboy fan for years - but for some reason there is something about Brady and the Patriots that caught my attention from the very beginning. Mostly it impressed me that they always played like a TEAM. I was a diehard Patriot fan for 20 years. I started to turn off Super Bowl 51 in the third quarter - sad and upset because my team was losing - just before I hit the off switch I remember telling my wife, if anybody can win this game it would be Tom Brady and the Patriots - and so I watched the whole thing - it was the most amazing thing I have ever seen. Y’all did a good job on this!

This dude basically had three hall of fame careers in one career.....when you do his 20's 30's and what he did in his 40's it is just rediculous....I am shocked the 9ers didn't make a HUGE PUSH FOR HIM which maybe they did but I really believe if he went there next year he rides off in the sunset with #8.....

The man gave me 23 years of happiness it was awesome watching him play even after he went to the Bucs. Thank you Tom for the memories.

Love It Pat The Pat McAfee Show Bro

"Never" is a long time. I would bet against that statement.

Thank you for coming to tampa Tom and giving me the best 3 years of football Iv had in my life!!❤ 🐐

These replies are why casual football fans should talk less and watch film more.

Pat talks about how great Brady is for hanging out with the boys and being relatable after having Aaron Rodgers on the other day saying it's not a big deal that he doesn't hang out with the boys.

"He knows all the signals" No, he has seen all of the possible defensive combinations, watched 20 hours of film, and uses motion to look for man or zone. Watch all the interviews with Ray lewis about Brady and he knows what's up.

Hated when he whooped my teams assssssss. For years but man I have respect. Thanks tom what a career 👏

Love from NE

People like to hate on him and make excuses as to why he had so much success, but no other quarter back that I can think of could of pulled off the Super Bowl 51 comeback, that will forever be the thing he was remembered for in my opinion, 28 to 3 with I think 4 minutes to go in the 3rd, sort of thing you see in a movie, Incredible career.

In stats Patrick mahomes will break every of his records but in SB wins I don't think that there will be a player with 8 SB wins

I think others will play the game at a similarly high level but the sheer odds anyone will match his accomplishments or longevity is slim to none.

7 rings 10 SB appearances!!!!! That’s a crazy amazing career but….!!!!! If anytone can come close Mahomes has a good chance thishis3rd appearance in 4 years!!!! The games evolving so I wouldn’t say it couldn’t be matched or surpassed… that’s why I think he played longer too extend his numbers all tho way around!!!! Most everything rn and his numbers are crazy

12:53 zitos reaction 😂😂

Most defenses try and key on tendencies of their opposing offense and it's focal point (the QB), and hope to force them into making a mistake. Against Tom, the defense had to make sure they didn't make even the tiniest mistake, because he will see it, key on it, and exploit it with alacrity. As the stakes rose, he gets better at it too. There's a handful of guys you need to play damn near perfect against if you want to slow them down, and Tom kept that up for the longest of anyone in this sport's history.

Tom Brady had the same force of will as Michael Jordan, without the natural ability. It’s possible we will see another 20-year career with a bunch of SB rings, but that QB will have insane physical gifts. He won’t be willing himself to compete at a level that’s frankly way above his natural skillset, year and year, making people believe he’s always about to fall off because it’s simply impossible he keeps doing this. That was the extra magic of Tom Brady we will never see again.

TB12 and Peyton share the record for play-off losses at 13, which represent 13 years in the post-season but not winning the SB (single elimination). Add that to his 7 SB rings and the three years not making the postseason, and you get his 23 years. So he made the playoffs 20/23 years (.870), and of those 20, he went to the conference championship 14/20 (.700), winning 10/14 (.714), and then further winning 7/10 SBs (.700). See a trend? Other figures - Made Conf Champ. game 14/23 seasons (.609) which is better than them Cowboy's all-time win/loss of .574. At the beginning of each season of his career, TB12 was more likely to reach that game than the cowboys were of winning any random game. His batting average for reaching the SB 10/23 seasons of (.435) would be a hall of fame year in MLB.

I was born in 91 and Brady made me a pats fan. Now I'm a sad one but he gave my team 20 years of greatness and I think we will never see a QB of this level for a very long time. Not even Mahomes will do this I think

FINALLY. THANK YOU PAT

What do McAfee and Brady both have in common? They are both Irish and listen to their favorite Irish rap group that performs Jump around.

Waive the wait time and put him in the hall of fame immediately if he doesn’t Unretire. Retire 12 jersey for pats and bucs

Thank you Tom!

Not only is he the most decorated QB of all time both reg season and playoffs, his 7 rings all have a meaningful story to them The very first one was versus the greatest show on turf Second was against the panters with remarkable 2nd half play all game Third was against the eagles when he and deion branch were on a diff wavelength altogether Fourth, great great back to back game and obv we all know malcolm butler gave him this ring but he still played lights out. Fifth, literally the greatest superbowl of all time the greatest comeback to ever been rallied in sports history. Sixth, more of a defensive game then anything but at the end of the day he did enough to win the game versus an extremely stacked defense rams Seventh, the final ring in his first year on a different team man people just dont do that, only tom could do that

I highly doubt we would see another Career like Brady! 23 years of Elite Play!!!! Do you know how insane that is especially in a sport where the avg player only last 3 years in the league. Most players Best years are probably about 8 years long that's typically where a player builds there HOF career. After hitting 30+ years old most Elite players start to regress slowly some faster then others. Brady did it 23 Years straight almost hitting 50 years old in a brutal contact sport.

I remember first watching the NFL in 2004 at the time I knew nothing tuned in to ESPN for the first time and decided to pick a team. I picked new England solely for having the name England init. When I started watching the highlights following that on ESPN I was like damn I just picked a decent team

Great Video as always bro ⚡️ Kincaid is a fckin beast

Forget about Atlanta 28-3 / Put me in a Court of Law and i could make a strong case for his 2nd SB in 2003 vs Carolina being his greatest ever.. He was beyond phenomenal in that game

Got a chance to watch the goat forever grateful for that

He won SB Rings at ages 37,39,41,43. Will never happen again

Hi Coach.

Nobody will have the resume that Brady has but there are multiple QBs past and present that are more talented

9:53 true

9:54ish, the comment about the Colts fans, is true. Everyone can be grateful he's out of the league and he deserves respect. I'm a Lions' fan that views Aaron in the same regard. I respect Aaron, but I'm definitely happy we don't play him anymore. Next year, the Lions are going to own the NFC and I'm very excited. This is my prediction, 12-5 for the Lions next year.

As far as records go, records are meant to be broken and mahomes has a pretty good chance to coming close or even beating them as long as he can stay healthy especially with an added season game , in football you are one hit away from everything changing. As far as who Tom is he's a one of a kind man. Team friendly contracts to allow a franchise to put the pieces together to win. He took players that people never really heard of to the big dance and win and made them a household name. His longevity in this sport and to have I believe just the 1 injury where he missed multiple games in that entire span of his career that is amazing in itself and one has to be blessed. Like I said above one hit can change everything.

Everybody forgots the one thing that will stop players from becoming great….. contracts.. he always took less for his team NO QB IN THIS ERA WILL DO THAT…. Simple

His first season in the NFL he didn't play and one season he was out because of injury. So in the 21 seasons he played, he won the Super Bowl 7 times. That is winning the Super Bowl ever 3 years!! It will never be duplicated.

I still think San Fran could entice him. He went through a lot this year. Let him relax get his emotions and mind right. If they made a huge commitment and used his home town and Montana love. It might be possible. They also need to upgrade the o-line. I do not think anyone would knock him for that. I really want him to go out on a better season. Vegas was never going to happen.

Coming out of the 7th round in the draft, probably never, Brock Purdy being Mr irrelevant maybe a great qb but factor in all the records superbowls and mvps. But the draft is what makes it special. Unless an undrafted qb comes out swinging..

My guess was 33 seconds until he made it about Aaron, my buddy guessed 3 mins but they made it a whole 13:12! That's gotta be close to a record amount of time without mentioning him

We need Tom Thursdays

I think Joey BRRR 🥶 is one that will come close but such a sad moment thanks for your 20 + years to us I grew up watching Tom and he’s a inspiration ❤❤TB12

They once said there would never be another Terry Bradshaw and then along came Joe Montana and then they said there'd never be a Joe Montana again and along came Tom brady, so they say they will never be another Tom Brady until the next player comes along

I think it’s a combination of greatness and circumstance. Having said that @we’ll see.@

Reminded me of Marinos last game. Hate to see them go out in a bad showing.

Someone always comes along that's better but, it will be a very long day before that day comes.

Tom is the goat. Anyone who disagrees is a hater, plain and simple. All the accolades are there and it’s gonna be a long time before anyone can even reach his accolades.

TB12 treatment actually sounds good, probably can't afford one tho.

Many.

There will probably never be a more accomplished QB than Tom Brady. But it takes an unbelievable amount of external factors to win 7 super bowls. I think that there will be QBs that will be better than him (I think there already is some) but his accomplishments in terms of longevity and team success won’t be touched

I’m sure there will be, but it may take a while.

There will be sooner than later ! that's the way sport is going : records are made to be broken ... and ... with all due respect, in the end TB amazing career "just" statistatically equaled Otto Graham's ... (and it took Otto 10 years to make 10 finals and 7 titles, not 20+) All this has happened before, and all this will happen again.

As a dolphins fan. Hate to see him go, love to watch him leave. The guy torches us and the league as long as I can remember. I was born in 97, doubt I’ll ever see another that’s greater

Nice.

The dude played 20 years and went to 10 super bowls and won 7 of them! Let that sink in…50% of the time he was playing in the Super Bowl! Incredible and unmatched!

Eventually but that prefect combination of owner, head coach and underrated qb would be nearly impossible to come together.

End of an era.

Only QB that could even come close to Tom Brady would be probably Dandy Don Meredith for sure 😃

Tom was just good at first. He dug in and got better day by day. He worked. He became the pinnacle of QB play trying to beat Peyton but mostly trying to win. He just wanted to win more than anyone. Brady wanted to be Jordan He's the best. Go Birds!

No

He was also within inches of winning 10 SUPER BOWLS.
