Tom Brady retiring

 Tom Brady could easily have decided to come back for another season. The 44-year-old quarterback through for a career best 5316 yards. He finished with a Pro Bowl Season. He leaves the game holding 10 NFL records, 7 Super Bowl Rings, and numerous awards and honors. Many regard him as the best quarterback to the play the game and he will certainly be inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame.

Here is a collection of some of his top plays...

Against every team...

His rivals will be glad he is retiring. He will be missed on the field by his teammates and fans. However, Tom Brady will step into future ventures off the field.

 

Congratulations to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers

In the end the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Tom Brady and myself all won championships. I won my fantasy football league and Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers won the Super Bowl. We all get bragging rights, but they get a ring and big bonuses. Sadly I do not. 

I was hoping for a close game. The greatest quarterback against the elite quarterback of today.

Highlights... 

Congrats to the Kansas City Chiefs for making it to the big game. They have been to two in a row. Tom Brady continues on after earning ring number seven. Five Super Bowl MVP Awards is very impressive. 

Congrats to the New England Patriots

Been out of town for a bit so starting to post about things that have happened this month. The Super Bowl happened Sunday night. I  caught the fourth quarter f the game at a pool side bar.

Highlights from the game..

The Patriots didn't have a dominant season. They put in another gear for the playoff and Tom Brady will get his sixth ring. 

You can hate him all you want. However, in the clutch Tom Brady is the best in my opinion. In this game credit needs to go the defense holding a potent offense to just three points. In the fourth quarter it was not Tom throwing the pick or missing the late field goal. The Rams didn't help themselves and the Patroits beat them.

Fantasy Football Update

After three weeks of the NFL season I thought I would share an update on my fantasy football team. Week one I opened up with a huge win having the biggest blowout of the season. I followed that up with a solid win in week two.

Last week I had a big lead 50 points going into Monday night''s game. Then like a Hail Mary completion as time expires my team lost despite scoring the second highest point total of the season.

This week coming up I had to make adjustments. Since the New England Patriots have a week off I lost two starters. Tom Brady and the kicker. Last week I picked up Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles. He is a starting quarterback and ac couple of starters had gone down for injuries. I picked him up mainly to take another starter off the board. This week I will turn to him. This week I picked up Chicago Bears kicker Robbie Gould as a replacement.

I am also starting Jacksonville WR Allen Hurns this week another pick up. So far  this season I have picked up Bortles, Hurns and Gould. I gave up David Cobb who is on injured reserves, Robert Griffin III who isn't starting, and Charles Johnson who hasn't been very productive.

As different players become available I will certainly look for an upgrade or two.

How is your team doing?

Fantasy Football: Still in second place after crushing lost

I scored seven points more than the week before. Yahoo gave me an A- grade for the week. I still lost, 179-144. Last Thursday I thought I might be in trouble when my opponents defense scored 29 points on Thursday night.

Little things getting outscored 50-21 on kickers and defense didn't help my cause.

If the Green Bay Packers didn't hurt me there were other places I went wrong. I waived an injured Shorts for Stanton as Carson Palmer did not return. That netted me 3 points and Tom Brady came alive for 22 points.

Back at it for another week. You win some, loose some.
