When the NFL scandal broke about the manipuation of the game for profit and not sport, the players had to wonder if it was their reputation or that of the NFL on the playing field with odds leveraged on any one game. I am sure there are players that simply take the money and don't question the reason of their winning or losing, but, it seems to me Tom Brady took the scandals, both of the NFL and Robert Kraft to heart. He moved to another playing field, leading another group of football warriors. He won anyway. He brought the team of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to a 31-9 blowout victory against the Kansas City Chiefs.
To say Tom Brady has a moral compass is an understatement. He is true blue American Hero to every one of his fans and those that paid the cost of a ticket to see him play. He gave it all his best and with the 2021 Superbowl Victory he nailed the right to be the greatest Quarterback of all time.
His retirement may be a relief to some, but, it is a loss to the game and he will be missed. I congratulate him and his family for staying true to the game.
