Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers have both enjoyed quite a reign on their quarterback thrones. However, even in the twilight of their careers, the duo is showing no signs of slowing down. Tampa Tom sealed the division with his win on Sunday. And A-Rod can lay his hands on that wildcard berth next week. Moreover, their off-football endeavors keep the two connected even after the season.

On the most recent episode of the Let’s Go podcast with Jim Gray, Tom Brady spoke about his decade-long rival and friend Aaron Rodgers. The Green Bay Packers quarterback is Brady’s golf partner after they are done competing for the Lombardi Trophy. And according to Tom, Rodgers is quite the player. Also, the competition is quite heavy in the golf tournaments with Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes playing for revenge.

We will be, in this next summer, in the match again. We got one where he [Aaron Rodgers] sunk a 15-foot birdie put to win it at the end against Josh Allen and young Patrick Mahomes,” the seven-time Super Bowl champion said about Rodgers.

Tom Brady was not happy with the college football action over the weekend

Tampa Bay Buccaneers and former Patriots QB Tom Brady always wanted to play for Michigan and didn’t quit even though he didn’t become a starter until his junior year. And it didn’t please him to see his dear Wolverines lose to Texas in the semi-finals of the national championship game. While discussing his alma matter’s loss to the Horned Frogs in the Fiesta Bowl, TB12 said that he could not believe that frogs could beat wolverines, who are the “toughest animal in the animal kingdom.”

It violates every law of nature,” TB12 said before adding, “Like a horned frog? Isn’t that what Aaron Rodgers licked down in Peru last summer?” Brady was probably referring to Rodgers’ use of the psychoactive substance, ayahuasca. However, it was all fun and jokes as Tom expressed his love for his friend and compatriot. And also appreciated the Packers’ playoff run this season considering the rough start to the season.
