It was a horrible, terrible, no good, very bad year.
There will be no shortage of touching eulogies to Tom Brady’s career. Flowery prose juxtaposing grace with grit, style and substance — worthy of the greatest career we’ve seen from an NFL quarterback. This isn’t one of those.
Tom Brady is done. Finally done. Really, actually, permanently done. His final season in Tampa Bay was that of a wounded zombie, making one last desperate lurch forward before being double-tapped and left behind.

Tom Brady’s NFL playing career was unmatched in terms of accomplishments and triumphs, but is he the best fantasy quarterback ever? That’s not quite so clear.

Michigan State football player Khary Crump has learned his fate after participating in the infamous tunnel beatdown against Michigan.
Crump was one of seven players charged for their roles in the attack on a pair of Wolverines players following a game this past season.

I’ll never forget the day Michigan State fans defended their team jumping Michigan players and using their helmets as weapons because the Michigan players went back to their locker room early.

The Raptors are reportedly listening to offers for the swingman ahead of the NBA trade deadline.
The hottest name on the 2023 NBA trade market is seemingly Raptors swingman O.G. Anunoby. A prototypical 3-and-D wing, Anunoby could fetch multiple first-round draft picks and an intriguing prospect or two if Toronto decides to move on from him. A skilled defender and career 37.1% three-point shooter, players of Anunoby’s caliber rarely become available around the deadline. He can fit seamlessly into any playoff hopeful’s rotation.

Our look back at the quarterback’s historic career, including reaction and analysis from his retirement announcement.
Legendary quarterback Tom Brady has announced his retirement after 23 seasons in the NFL, a year to the day after last year’s short-lived decision to leave the game.
“I’m retiring. For good,” he said in a video posted to his social media accounts. “I know the process was a pretty big deal last time, so when I woke up this morning I figured I’d just press record and let you guys know first,”

He was asked whether the chase of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s scoring record was weighing on him.
While Tom Brady’s NFL career may be over, LeBron James is still going strong, and has no plans of stepping away anytime soon. He confirmed as much on Tuesday night, when asked about his pursuit of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s NBA all-time scoring record.
Abdul-Jabbar, another Lakers legend, finished his career with 38,387 points, a mark that seemed unreachable for years. James entered the season at 37,062, and the 38-year-old continues to play at an elite level.

Philadelphia Eagles offensive lineman Josh Sills was indicted on one count of rape and one count of kidnapping in Ohio on Wednesday, the state’s attorney general announced.
Sills, 25, was indicted on one count of rape and one count of kidnapping, Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost and Guernsey County Sheriff Jeffrey D. Paden said in a news release. Both charges are first-degree felonies.
The indictment stems from an incident in December 2019. Sills allegedly “engaged in sexual activity that was not consensual and held a victim against her will,” officials said.

The greatest quarterback of all time always knew how to make the correct decision on the field. So it’s no surprise that he ended his career at precisely the right moment.
Tom Brady’s defining football characteristic was his ability to make the correct choice: to change the play before the snap, to throw to the right receiver, to get rid of the ball when nothing was there, to manage end-of-game situations in real time. It is appropriate, then, that he ultimately retired at precisely the right time, too. After the longest career of any non-kicker in history, Brady stuck the landing.
