“Gotta Do it This Year” – Tom Brady Not Content with Super Bowl LV Triumph
Follow Us
Tom Brady ended his two-decade-long association with New England Patriots in January 2020. The ageing quarterback wanted to challenge for the Super Bowl while approaching the twilight of his career. He was of the opinion that he could not do that in Boston and hence decided to move on in search of a new team.
His search took him to Florida where he penned an initial 2-year deal with NFC South franchise, Tampa Bay Buccaneers. After a shaky start to the season, Brady and the Bucs found their mojo in the playoffs. Bruce Arians’ boys beat the likes of the Washington Football Team, New Orleans Saints and the Green Bay Packers to seal a Super Bowl berth.

“I mean, it’s really fun for me. I love physically to train and put myself in a position to compete. I love that mental aspect of the sport, and I have a lot of fun doing it.
