Wow, what great timing. The New England area is freaking out from the Coronavirus, with like over 100 cases in Boston because some brilliant doctor who was already infected went to a medical conference there and infected a bunch of other doctors, of all people.

Then a report came out yesterday that Boston's particular geographical longitude may make it more susceptible to easy transmission of the virus, for some climate-related reason.

Then their ultimate sports hero announces he's going to leave them, today on St. Patrick's Day of all days, which in case anyone didn't know is a particularly beloved holiday in the Boston area.

Kids in that area, or adults for that matter, who grew up idolizing Tom Brady will now forevermore feel a twinge of sadness when St. Patty's Day arrives.

Reminds me of how my grandfather on my Mom's side inconsiderately chose to unexpectedly of a heart attack on my parent's wedding anniversary. Kind of messed that occasion up for my Mom from then on.

Do you think he chose to make the announcement today just to twist the knife in a little bit? Seems to me he could've just as easily done it yesterday, or tomorrow. Seriously, St. Patrick's Day is a really big deal in Boston.

I do not wish him success wherever he goes. No matter what his issues may have been with Belichick or Kraft, out of loyalty to the fanbase that has passionately supported him for 20(!) seasons he should've sucked it up and finished his career there.

It's not like he's Dan Marino, who played all those years for my Dolphins without a championship. If Dan the Man had been in better condition at the end of his career and left to play one more year for a team that was a legit contender so he could have a shot at a ring, I would not have begrudged him that.

But Brady has six rings, and more money than he could ever possibly spend. Not to mention that his wife's independent net worth is as much as his, if not more. So what is he chasing at this point, by going somewhere else?

I do not think this decision is going to end well for him, as it shouldn't IMO. I hope to see him regret it.

Look at all that salty butthurt. At a minimum, he is a has been while you are a never was/will be. As if his legacy gets tarnished by anything he does at the next stop. Joe Montana is still looked at as a God regardless what happened at the Chiefs ... Brady will be too. He is a football player who wants to be a football player. Your just an internet know it all that don't know jack.

Thank GOD for Brady. Without this there is really NO real sports to discuss..........This will bring real excitement to his new team and serious attention to the Pats and BellyCheck..........was it his system or was it all Tommy Boy?

there was talk during his radio interview he wants to go to a team where he can help 're-build' by making roster decisions and also participate in the play calling. Bucs or Dolphins sound perfect... I'm all for some roster changes in TB - amirite?

With Brady's California roots and his parents still in San Mateo, the Chargers look like the favorite. I never liked Brady because he always owned my Steelers in big games. But I respected him for his 6 rings and his performance in those big games. He is a winner and a leader, and is in a class by himself. The SB comeback over the Falcons was to me a classic Brady win. Not sure if the supporting cast around the Chargers is good enough to get him into the play offs. I thought the Titans with his old teammate Vrabel as coach gave him the best shot to win right away. But who knows, and I am sure he will still beat the Steelers.

She's worth double what he's worth. I am known to side with the owners on more than one occasion. Owners own and players play. I think he's probably washed up but will end up in Tampa as a bust...but that guy earned it. He's given many times over and I'm ok with him going wherever he wants. The NBA is jacked up when players form super teams. I hate that and the NBA needs to fix it. Not a Brady fan but I'm ok with him going where he wants.

This didn't age well. Adam Schefter is reporting Brady will be signing with the bucs.

Well that is a surprise. Ever since I started a thread in the PF challenging people to post their predictions, my prediction game has completely gone in the sh*tter. I was fully onboard with @LagoonGator68 and @NVAGATOR86 and thought Brady was L.A.-bound.

Tampa seems like a odd choice for him and his wife and their celebrity lifestyle. No offense to any of our resident Tampons, but it's not the most glamorous of destinations. But I'm sure he'll buy a big ol' boat to park behind a big ol' mansion near Jeter's on Davis Island and make the best of it.

Of course, we all know how glammed up of a place Boston is.
