Forbes reports that Brady ranks ninth among the 2021 world's highest-paid athletes earning $45 million in salary/winnings and $31 million in endorsements.

Yeah, Brady is really hurting financially and giving up so much to play for Tampa...wa wa wa...Brady looks after Brady and nobody else.

Patriots like Julian Edelman who was paid only 6 million per year (peak years) were the ones who truly sacrificed when Tom was there...compare that to Antonio Brown who was getting 18 million from Pittsburgh to what Edelman got...

The ball was slightly under-inflated, so they had to get it back in case some one had an air pressure gauge in their pocket... an_roll_laugh

This post only tells me you don't live in America.  Do you know how much a house is going for these days let alone a gallon of milk?  What about minimum wage versus cost of living?  You think our US Gov't does the right thing?  They have been hustling us citizens since the beginning of time.  Get out your box bro

That kid could have made out like a fat rat and no one would have touched him just like the guy who caught Barry Bonds juiced ball. Did anyone stop him? Look how much that went for and that's was MLB's HR all time record. Brady doesn't even have the record yet

@bigdude

 what a complete assa clown you are.  The whole sports market is built on people cashing in other peoples success in sports.  Guess we should close down the whole sports memo market and give all the stuff back to the millionaire athletes.  Clowns like you are total suck hole fans, who would bow to any athlete cause he plays a game for a living.

 If you took off with it, how could ever prove it to be that ball? I'm just curious, not bashing.

NFL rules state a player is fined if he kicks or throws the ball into the stands (not fined if the player hands the ball to a fan).  NFL allows teams to keep the ball to hand out to players after the game, if they choose to.

The dude could have kept the ball, saying that the player handed it to him as permitted by the league rules on the subject.  Nobody could touch him (legally that is) with the ball in his hands.  I'm sure Brady will call the guy and take him out for dinner at some point.  But yeah, you have to wonder what the guy is thinking today knowing what that ball is worth to the right collector, including Brady himself... 

Note: I made an earlier post that contradicts these comments (based on soccer rules that I am more familiar with).  I own that mistake...

Now that is the difference in character and just shows how self centered and selfish many of the modern day athletes are...and yes that includes Brady. Roger Maris was a prince of a man, something that Brady and his ilk will NEVER be.

Well he's from North Dakota, and raised right.

Funny how certain people in here bad-mouth Brady, haven't heard anyone mention how he went over to 9 y.o. kid with brain cancer to meet him and shake his hand. May not seem like much to most people but the kid was holding a sign up that read "Tom Brady helped me beat brain cancer." . Helped. The kid wept, his father proudly next to him. It meant EVERYTHING to that kid. 

Of course sum people dislike others simply by where they're from, in my world we call that a bigot. Thank God Brady's not Canadian that poster would sooner take him around back and shoot him. Bigot and a hippocrat and he wonders why I'm offended. What a punk. Freedom of speech!

Looks like a nothingburger to me, Brady walked over to the kid and shook his hand and gave him a hat...following up on the story there are no details of Brady's foundation doing anything directly for this kid other than being his super sports' hero. 

Of course it was a great photo opportunity for TB and it makes him look like Mother Theresa...for the gullible among us.

What one poster doesn't like is that I push back when I am attacked personally. He references one joke about Canadians (Cana duh) as verifiable proof that I hold bias for all people from Canada which is of course preposterous...

D'brickashaw, you have to learn to be more tolerant of people who disagree with you and your life's goal should not be to silence them or to censor others.

@mrusso

I get it, you hate whitey but you need to get over it and not be so disappointed that you didn't profit more from 'affirmative action'...you had all of the breaks and you still blew it right? 

I understand...consumed by hate your are eaten up by thoughts of revenge. Perhaps some anger management sessions would do you some good before you blow out a circuit in your brain?

Yes I agree, we should pray that mrusso gets some mental therapy before he goes off the deep end.
