In the past two weeks or so, Tom Brady and Dale Earnhardt Jr have been the most mentioned names in the American sporting circles, although for different reasons. The NFL legend was a cause of headlines amidst the uncertainty regarding his future, while the NASCAR legend was in the spotlight after he was inducted in the Hall of Fame.

But it should also be pointed out that both the icons recently announced a collaboration in the growing NFT marketplace. And this collaboration recently went live.

Tom Brady posted on his Instagram story in which he tagged Dale Jr. and congratulated him. The QB had shared a post of his brand Autograph which is an online platform that sells NFT collectibles.

And that report suggested that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers man wasn’t really done yet. That he hadn’t made up his mind on retirement, that he was nowhere close to reaching such a decision.
