When Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady announced his retirement from the NFL “for good” Wednesday morning, it created an avalanche of comments and appreciation from millions across social media.
But while many sang the praises of the seven-time Super Bowl winner, others like longtime sports radio host Mike Francesa decided that he would add a little wrinkle to those serenading Brady’s NFL career. Francesa reunited with Mike and the Mad Dog co-host Chris Russo alongside Stephen A. Smith on ESPN’s First Take on Wednesday.
Brady, whose career spanned 23 seasons, won seven titles between the Patriots and the Buccaneers, earned six All-Pro selections as well as led the league in passing yards four times and touchdowns five times. Despite the quarterback’s decades of success, Francesa took his take a step further and said that Brady was not the best quarterback in the regular season nor the best going after Lombardi trophies.
