Allow me to venture out on an extremely sturdy limb here and declare that Tom Brady won’t be as successful in his pending NFL-adjacent career as he was as a player.
Bold take, right? OK, fine, maybe not. After all, Brady, who announced his retirement from the NFL Wednesday — this second time presumably for good — is the most accomplished player in football history and arguably in modern American team sports.
In 23 seasons — the first 20 spent quarterbacking the Patriots dynasty — he reached 10 Super Bowls, won seven (six in New England), and broke enough individual records to fill an entire page of agate.
