Though Tom Brady has retired from the NFL, his nature hasn’t mellowed down. Still competitive as he ever was, he now uses social media to retort at his rivals. Though these rivalries aren’t as fierce as those he had in the league, we still get to see some action. That’s what happened recently.
On December 2, Tom Brady posted a photo from his fish trip in which he held a fish. It was an amazing photo. However, the former New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning mocked the former New England Patriots quarterback by posting a collage that had Brady’s fishing trip photo and his photo holding a fish with the caption, “Cute Minnow, Tom!” But the GOAT didn’t like it, and posted an IG story with that collage and wrote, “You use a helmet to catch that one too?” That’s interesting. For the young footballs fans, here’s the story which TB12 was referring here.

We have to rewind 15 years. It was Super Bowl XLII. Tom Brady & Co. were the favorites to win against Eli Manning’s New York Giants. However, in the 3rd quarter, with 2 minutes 39 seconds remaining in the game, Manning made an unbelievable play on the 3rd down. Defying the pressing New England Patriots defense, he passed the ball to David Tyree, who caught it by pressing the ball against his helmet with only his right hand.
Not only did the Patriots lose the Super Bowl year, but they couldn’t finish the season undefeated as they won all 16 games in the regular season. That is the rivalry at its peak. But it shows that the GOAT’s memory is still fresh about everything that occurred in the league. However, for his millions of fans around the globe, his photo was a pleasant surprise.

He charmed his fans with a visual of him and Kevin Burkhardt enjoying Turducken. But he saved the best for the last.

On December 2, Tom Brady posted a thirst trap photo of him during a fishing trip shirtless. He even captioned it, “A little warmer than it looked in Buffalo last night.” A reference to the Bills–49ers game in New York that was played in a snow shower at 28 °F temperature. However, the fans were excited.
His charisma is still a mystery which pulls everyone to him. The man is a masterpiece, they commented. Some even said that he looks hotter than he looked when he was in the league. One fan commented, “God he is so freaking hot.”
