Tom Brady Successful footballer in  USA

             Winner of seven Super Bowls with the geographic area Patriots and also the bay Buccaneers, the stainless 44-year-old quarterback will have spent 22 NFL seasons, a career Quarterback Tom Brady, widely considered the best player in American football history, officially announced his retirement on Tuesday, after several days of suspense. "I loved my career within the NFL (the North American professional league, editor's note), and now it is time to focus my time and energy on other things that need my attention", wrote on his Instagram account the 44 year old player.

Winner of seven Super Bowls, an absolute record, the previous playing master of the New England Patriots, between 2000 and 2019 (six titles), then of the bay Buccaneers in 2020 and 2021 (one title), will have experienced exceptional longevity, and a unanimously acclaimed career. “I did plenty of thinking work last week, and that i asked myself some tough questions. and i am so pleased with what we've accomplished. My teammates, coaches, opponents, and fans deserve me to be 100%, but at once it is best that I leave the sphere to the following generation of dedicated and committed athletes," the quarterback wrote.

In a long promulgation of several pages, Tom Brady thanks successively the Buccaneers, their fans, and their head coach Bruce Arians, the town of bay, or his family, but doesn't mention the geographical area Patriots with whom he will have therefore spent 20 seasons, nor their emblematic coach Bill Belichick. The announcement comes just over every week after a final – and rare – defeat within the play-off, against the la Rams (30-27) within the conference semi-finals. At the tip of a crazy encounter, which he went through sort of a shadow for 3 quarters, before making a comeback as incredible because it was vain, showing that he remained stainless.

 An “incredible leader” Tributes poured in on the heels of his retirement being made official, with NFL boss Roger Goodell saying during a statement that Tom Brady are going to be “remembered because the greatest player within the history” of the league. "An incredible competitor and leader, his spectacular career is notable for his longevity, but also for the continual excellence he has demonstrated year after year," he said. Peyton Manning, former Indianapolis Colts and Denver Broncos quarterback with whom he had a protracted sports rivalry, also praised Tom Brady for "his incredible career". "To know for as long as he has, at the very best levels is completely incredible," said the previous winner of 5 regular season 'MVP' trophies, also considered one in every of the simplest players within the club. story.

 Back to the highest A year ago, the quarterback had returned to the highest, at 43, by making the Buccaneers, a team from the depths of the league, a gaggle of champions, at the expense of the Kansas City Chiefs (31-9). As an emblem, he had given a lesson to the talented Patrick Mahomes, 18 years his junior, who dreamed of creating a replacement dynasty. Instead, Brady had continued to put in writing in golden letters his prodigious saga, after six titles won with the Patriots, his club that we always believed, with which he played twenty seasons.

By receiving his fifth MVP trophy during a final, the one who had said he wanted to play a minimum of until the age of 45 was hoping on further inflating his extraordinary record. The counter finally stops at 44, an age when the choice to pursue or to not pursue his career isn't any longer taken alone, because the family also takes precedence for the husband of the ex-model Gisele Bündchen and father of their two children. What does it matter! Better than anyone in professional sport, except perhaps Tiger Woods in golf, this extraordinary champion made lasting rhyme with winning. 

Evidenced by his collection of Vince-Lombardi trophies: four were lifted at ages 37, 39, 41 and 43, canonical ages in an NFL where a career lasts a median of 4 years and 4 months, in line with a 2019 study. countless records (more than 80 listed) that have accompanied his irresistible rise are as many obstacles almost impossible to cross for those that would have the far-fetched ambition to rival him within the history books.

 

Records in shambles Who are going to be ready to surpass Brady in number of finals played (ten)? Who can, like him, hold more league titles than any team (New England and Pittsburgh are crowned six times)? Who can send as many touchdown passes (21) in Super Bowls? “I never could have imagined it'd end up like this. nobody could have,” said Brady, before putting on his 7th ring. he's right: not even the Patriots thought they'd won the jackpot for this big guy (1.93 m, 102 kg) after they selected him in 199th position, within the sixth round of the 2000 draft.

 Thomas Edward Patrick Brady Jr, born August 3, 1977 in town (California) was then 23 years old. he's only the fourth quarterback within the hierarchy of the team, which is reluctant to stay him. But, driven by an unalterable work ethic – the technical staff received calls within the middle of the night warning that Brady had just fell upon the facilities to coach alone – he became a starter in his second season, immediately punctuated by a primary championship title in 2002.

 A comeback despite scandals and injuries Two more followed in 2004 and 2005, which established the reign of the foremost emblematic quarterback/coach duo within the NFL, formed with Bill Belichick. Ten years separate their third coronation from the fourth, however, during which Brady lost two finals, recovered from serious injuries (knee, foot, shin) and was found guilty of cheating within the scandal of "Deflategate", practice consisting in reducing the pressure balloons so as to throw them better.

 We say he's finished and that we criticize his relationship with the long run President of the u. s. Donald Trump whether or not he tempers: “Politics and friendship are two very various things. the most effective is yet to return, like this successful comeback to the 2017 Super Bowl where he led the Pats to victory (34-28) at the tip of overtime, after being led 28-3 by Atlanta shortly before the top of the half-moon. His masterpiece.

Her secret to recouping with age? An in-depth knowledge of his sport – “the more I study, the more I watch, the more I understand” –, a strict lifestyle (without alcohol, meat, sugar, gluten, dairy, etc.) and a love of the sport, despite more 150 injuries accumulated in 22 seasons. "When you're within the room, it's like you are a 14, 15 year old kid who never grows up. you do not need it," he says. This kid now occupies a singular place within the Pantheon of the best American sportsmen, alongside Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, Wayne Gretzky or baseball player.
