Hey Tom Brady, how's retirement treating you? While he's been busy renting cars from Hertz and recording some pretty awful TV commercials, it's hard to forget that this is the first NFL campaign in a while where he won't be out on the field come Week 1.
Now that he's enjoying his life after the NFL, Brady also doesn't mind taking a few trips down memory lane. Our favorite memories would no question be Brady losing to the NY Giants in the Super Bowl. That happened twice, with Eli Manning taking down TB12 in dramatic fashion both in 2008 and 2012.
For Brady, he surely wishes he could re-write history or the 'script' that the NFL had in place for him. If you ask the Giants, though, things went down the exact way they were supposed to.
Tom Brady still can't get over losing to the Giants in the Super Bowl twice
We agree with the G-Men there! In both those games with the Lombardi Trophy on the line, the Pats and Brady were heavy favorites to come away with a victory. However, the underdog Giants found ways to post unreal upsets.
There was the helmet catch, the perfect throw to Mario Manningham, the game-winning TD to Plaxico Burress and so much more. Now that Brady has more time to sit on his couch and be lazy, we highly recommend rewatching those losses to Big Blue - they get better with time!
Brady will go down as the GOAT in the NFL and that's a title no one can take away from him. At the same time, he lost three Super Bowl showdowns, with the G-Men taking care of business against him twice. That's something that will be celebrated in East Rutherford until the sun goes out.
