The seven-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback made the announcement this morning, Wednesday, February 1, 2023, in a 52-second video that was posted to his official social media accounts. He stated that he is retiring ‘for good’ this time.
Brady retires with more Super Bowl victories (7) than every NFL franchise. He also holds records for the most passing yards, touchdowns, and wins by a quarterback, as well as many other records.
He is one of the most impactful and well-respected players in the league. There is no doubt that he will be a first-ballot Hall of Famer in 2028.
While he has been well-respected throughout his career, there have been times when opponents have pushed his buttons and caused him to act out of character and trash talk them.
Here are three times when Brady proved his GOAT status when things got heated.
#1 - When Tom Brady and Tyrann Mathieu got into a heated exhange in the Super Bowl
During Super Bowl LV between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Kansas City Chiefs, Brady and Chiefs safety Tyrann Mathieu got into a few heated exchanges in the second quarter.
To this day, what Brady said is unknown, but it forced the Chiefs safety to complain to Twitter about it after their Super Bowl loss.
Mathieu said:
Mathieu then tweeted that Brady called him something he wouldn’t repeat while calling the media out for throwing him under the bus in a deleted tweet.
The Bucs beat the Chiefs 31-9 in the Super Bowl.
#2 - When Tom Brady trash talked Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen during “The Match”
During Capital One’s “The Match” golf match which featured Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers versus Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes, the four quarterbacks engaged in friendly trash-talk.
The two vets ganged up on the young gunslingers, and Brady topped off any trash talking.
Brady poked fun at Allen, saying he hasn’t backed up anything on the field in his career, especially against him.
Brady said:
Brady then said that Mahomes has played a lot of great games but hasn’t really won important ones.
He said:
#3 - When Tom Brady called out a mystery team for “sticking with that motherfu**er” over him on ‘The Shop’
During the 2021 off-season, Tom Brady made an appearance on “The Shop.” He called out a team during the interview for being interested in him during free agency. He said that they then backed out at the last second, saying that they weren’t interested in the veteran quarterback.
It caused Brady to ask the question, “You’re sticking with that motherf–ker?”
Brady said:
Brady is the GOAT on the field and has had some of the best trash-talking to his name.
