In the last couple of days there s been chatter he might step aside this off-season. after the game, of course, brady, the greatest player to lace them up, was noncommittal in terms of what he would do. saying he would take his time with his family to make his decision. certainly he has proven even at his advanced football age he can still do it. it would be personally, i would be in a state of mourning were he to walk away. of course you would. were he to retire he would do so with seven super bowls and an unquestioned legacy, joe. he should have been in another nfc championship game this year as well. on saturday now i know last night was crazy, okay. if you are old like me and you remember the black and blue division, these guys going around in the tundra on ice, the lions playing the bears, the bears playing the packers, the packers playing the vikings in sub zero weather with ice coming down, then saturday night s game was for you.
