Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers are two of the greatest quarterbacks ever, and both of them switched teams in the final years of their respective NFL careers.

It worked out well for Brady, as he won a Super Bowl in his first year with Tampa Bay—something Rodgers would love to do in his first year with New York.

Speaking ahead of the 2023 Spanish Grand Prix, Max Verstappen addressed Red Bull’s dominance and more
If it is Thursday of a Formula 1 race week, it is media day. Speaking ahead of the 2023 Spanish Grand Prix, championship leader Max Verstappen told the media during press conferences that based on their race pace, Red Bull “can” win every race this season, but because of the uncertainty of F1, that remains “unlikely.”
