It’s been a pretty hectic offseason for the NFL’s premium quarterbacks. While Patrick Mahomes and Aaron Rodgers have been juggling on-field and off-field commitments, the February 2023 retirement has allowed recently divorced Lombardi icon Tom Brady more time to explore some of his other interests. Namely, yacht rides with his children and attending one of the most prestigious sporting final events, all in the span of a week.

Even after cementing retirement and brushing off any chances of an NFL comeback, Tom Brady still looks to have a competitive fire. And his presence at the Roland Garros final court wasn’t the only thing testifying to that sentiment. Brady even picked up a football this week and threw one of the most accurate dimes of this NFL offseason, even among active quarterbacks.

Tom Brady joins Mbappé and Zlatan in celebrating Grand Slam Maestro

The Court Philippe-Chatrier was home to sporting royalty on Sunday as Novak Djokovic beat Casper Ruud to win the French Open and his 23rd tennis Grand Slam, surpassing Rafael Nadal’s record of 22. Undoubtedly, the moment was iconic enough to attract sporting greats from all fields. Brady, a close acquaintance of Djokovic, found his seat in the World No 3’s box along with the Serbian maestro’s wife, Jelena. Also present were French soccer stars Olivier Giroud and Kylian Mbappé, and former LA Galaxy and AC Milan legend Zlatan Ibrahimović.

Congrats my friend. Best part was seeing up close how much your family loves you and supports you,” Brady captioned his IG story with Djokovic after the win.

The Serbian also gave a special shoutout to TB12 and the rest during his trophy presentation speech. “I want to thank football stars for being here. Giroud, Ibrahimović, Mbappé, Tom Brady. I want to thank you for coming out and supporting. I hope you guys enjoyed. It is an honour to have so many sports stars [here],” Novak Djokovic said.

Despite missing the live event, Aaron Rodgers also gave the GOAT shoutout to the 36-year-old titan in his IG story. The NY Jets star was busy attending the 2023 Tony Awards with his Gang Green TE C. J. Uzomah. Rodgers also recently attended the Taylor Swift concert. Meanwhile, KC Chiefs QB1 Pat Mahomes is still in celebration mode as he and his wife Brittany made their way to the Luke Combs concert last night.

TB12, on the other hand, went solo for his French trip. And he may have taken some inspiration from Djokovic as hours earlier, Brady shocked the NFL world with one of his trademark dimes from a $300 million yacht.

Mr. Beast unleashed the Tom Brady beast for a moment

In what has shattered YouTube views history, Mr. Beast’s latest video, ‘$1 vs $1,000,000,000 Yacht’, featured Tom Brady and his two kids from ex-wife Gisele Bündchen, Benjamin and Vivian. And it wasn’t just an interview. Mr. Beast put the former NE Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers star to the test as he challenged TB12 to connect a dime to one of his drones flying far from the yacht. And Brady didn’t disappoint.

If I hit the drone on the first try, maybe I should come out of retirement,” Brady said jokingly before hitting the drone on the first shot.

Surely, his fans will look beyond the joke and hope for a Brady comeback in a Raiders uniform. Whether that finally happens, only Brady and time can tell.
