Tom Brady’s final chapter is still unwritten
This has not been the kind of season that Tom Brady expected.
But is this really how it ends? With Brady manning a team that finishes with a losing record for the first time in his entire football career? That’s right. This was the first season Brady as at the helm of a team that finished under .500, dating back to his high school days.
25-straight years with a winning record.
Until this year.
It could all come to an end tonight, with a loss to the Dallas Cowboys.

All hail the greatest regular season Pro Bowl quarterback in the NFL.
There’s going to be no shortage of jokes about the Vikings this week. Their fraudulent path to the No. 3 seed was a road littered with near-losses to mediocre teams. The play inside the game against the Giants, uninspired, boring, and failed in key places at the worst possible times. Even their future, which is is looking, well, kind of bleak.

Just hear me out.
Full disclosure: I am a Falcons fan. So what you’re about to read may seem a little self-serving (OK, more than a little self-serving).

Torii Hunter’s mentor and center field predecessor with the Twins was Kirby Puckett. The player who eventually pushed Hunter to the corner outfield for good was Mike Trout. One is in the Hall of Fame, and the other is sure to be enshrined at the soonest possible moment. Whether Hunter gets the call to join them is another question entirely.
