Wow. This truly is the end of an era. When one looks at Brady’s stats and records…they’re simply mind-boggling. Brady has the most passing touchdowns (624), the most completions (7,263), the most passing yards (84,520), the most wins by a starting quarterback (243), the most division titles (18), the most touchdowns thrown to different receivers (82), the most Pro Bowl appearances (15), among other records.

Brady is also the oldest player to win NFL MVP (40 years old), the oldest player to be named First-Team All-Pro (40 years old), and the only player to beat all 32 NFL teams.

Brady has also won an incredible seven Super Bowls (the most ever) and appeared in a staggering ten Super Bowls. Quite simply…this man truly is the G.O.A.T. We’ve been watching Tom Brady play this entire century…crazy to think that he’s finally calling it a day on the field. What’s next for Brady? We hear he’s signed a huge deal with Fox Sports…so he’ll be just fine. Congrats on a great career, Tom.

Knicks Fall To Lakers
The Knicks lost to the Lakers in Overtime last night…129 to 123. LeBron James was back from a slight knee injury to record a triple-double…as LeBron had 28 points, 10 rebounds, and 11 assists in the game. LeBron is now just 89 points away from breaking Kareem Abdul Jabbar’s all-time points record. Meanwhile, the Knicks drop to 27 and 25 for the year.

NHL All Star Game On Saturday
The Devils, Rangers, and Flyers were all off yesterday as the NHL gets ready for the upcoming All Star weekend. That takes place on Saturday.

Payton Goes To Denver
Super Bowl-winning coach Sean Payton, formerly of the Saints, has taken a job with the Denver Broncos. The Broncos are having to give the Saints a couple of draft picks to get Payton…since technically he was still under contract to New Orleans after he retired. But that’s a big deal as Payton was regarded as the best coach out there.

Green Leaving Yanks For Toronto
Reliever Chad Green…an excellent arm out of the bullpen…is leaving the Yankees and joining a division rival in the Toronto Blue Jays. Green is a free agent and accepted a two-year deal with Toronto. Big loss for the Yankees. While Green was hurt last year…the Yanks were counting on him to come back and be their setup man or even potential closer with Aroldis Chapman getting the boot.
