A few things:
1. If Mahomes took steroids and won four more super bowls before getting caught, every one here will say those titles don't count...
2. The same people here who are making fun of NY, I'm guessing, voted for a certain New Yorker for POTUS. Am i right?

1.Depends if the NFL considered his wins legitimate then I wouldn't have a say
Like Bonds is the HR king but people view him differently besides you and a few die hard Squealers/Jete/and Dolts fans the majority have bent the knee with TB12=GOAT. 2. I dont get the POTUS reference

1. Majority does not know what happened during Spygate cause the league covered it up to protect you guys.
2. There seem to be NY haters on this board, but I'm guessing many of them voted for Trump (a NYer obviously)
We have another Giants fan here he hasn't posted in a while
But yes besides two of top of my head the board is a Trump glaze fest
Im neither for or against not that politic savvy

Tom Brady GOAT
I second this.

I'm home
Now, now. Haters have been an integral part of the TB12 story. Let the (man?) rant.
Fuck that pathetic cunt face!! He wants to come here and act like an asshole, treat him like an asshole. He's not here to do anything positive, but just to be a dick to get the attention he craves so much. How absolutely fucking pathetic do you have to be to wake up and think "Duh, I'll go to a website just to be a fucking annoyance. That'll be a productive thing to do".
He should probably go find a job and stop sucking off the teat of the government. He has far too much time on his hands.

Hopefully it ain't like the Iverson one lol or even worse the Cristiano Ronaldo one
| Find your ikigia this summer Ohayo gozaimasu! I’m writing from Tokyo this week as we kick off summer break for my kids with a big family trip full of beautiful sights, amazing food, and a good amount of rest and relaxation. Japan is a fascinating country. It has an incredibly rich culture grounded in honor and respect. There is a commitment to excellence here—no, that’s not right, it’s more like a devotion to the pursuit of perfection—in everything from sushi to pizza to hospitality to farming to design that really speaks to me. It’s everywhere you turn, whether you’re in the heart of Tokyo or way out in the countryside. [td] |

REFLECTION Ikigai roughly translates to “reason for being”. It is the idea of figuring out what you’re good at, what you love, what you can get paid for, and what the world needs, and then pursuing whatever sits at the intersection of those four things as a major source of value in your life. If you’re like me, and you’ve found that your career path fits where all four of these elements meet, it’s hard not to feel like the luckiest person on earth.It reminds me of when I watched the documentary Jiro Dreams of Sushi, about an 85-year-old sushi master named Jiro Ono who ran a three-Michelin star sushi restaurant in Tokyo. At the time of the documentary, Jiro had been a certified sushi chef for sixty years. The first three of those years he spent mastering the preparation of rice—just rice!---before he even touched a piece of fish in a restaurant setting. He spent the rest of his career, he has said, perfecting his skills and working to get better. Sushi was his calling. It was his ikigai. [td] |
I always felt that way as I took the field. So many people were committing their time and energy to me and our team, I never wanted to let them down.
LESSON
Football and entertaining people is still at the heart of things for me now. My work with FOX is giving fans a great experience watching and learning about the game through my eyes. But I feel my purpose has also evolved.By looking at the core of what I loved most about playing football, beyond just the tactical X’s and O’s and the wins and losses, I recognized that I had a great passion for, and expertise in, team-building and leadership. Our world is always in need of more leaders and better teamwork. And fortunately, through my life, I’ve been around some of the best leaders and strongest teams, and the lessons I’ve learned from them have made me one of the best leaders and teammates, as a result.
Leading by example. Showing discipline. Clear, current communication. Caring about people and teammates. Prioritizing the common goal of the team and aligning all my actions with those priorities.

There is something both freeing and energizing about knowing that ikigai isn’t a one-shot deal. It is a living and evolving and growing thing…as long as you are also living and evolving and growing as a person.
APPLICATION
So what does anyone who has never heard of ikigai do with all this? It can be daunting at first, especially if you’ve never had a job or a hobby you love, or a sense that you were meant to contribute something meaningful to this world.The first thing you should do is shift the focus of your attention. For example, after retirement I could have very easily gotten lost in the playing of football as the thing that was my purpose. But sometimes you need to take a step back and look at the broader picture. I didn’t just think football was football. I thought it was a platform for 3-4 hours of entertainment that was a real-life documentary, playing out in the moment, unscripted on live television, that allowed people to really live in the present. Yes, the medium was football, but entertainment is ultimately what it was all about.
What the world needs. What you do well. What you love. What your work is worth. You can always figure out what those things are, if you shift your focus and widen your lens. If you look beyond the superficial and the immediate to the bigger, deeper messages that the world is sending you in response to what you do and how you live your life, you will learn everything you need to know.
There are a lot of amazing people who succeeded a lot later in life or had great second acts: Martha Stewart didn’t write her first cookbook until she was 41; the same age as Eric Yuan when he founded Zoom. Stan Lee didn’t create the Marvel Universe until he was in his forties. Henry Ford was 45 years old when he created the famous Model T. Vera Wang was a figure skater and a writer before she became a fashion designer at 40.
The list is almost endless. If you want a shot to join it, you just have to start asking the right questions.
Is there something you love that you’re also good at? Perfect, you’ve got a passion. For me, that’s golf.
What about something you’re good at that you get paid for? Boom, that’s a profession. For me, that was football. Now it’s just talking about football. (Sure is nice to not get hit anymore.)
Is there something you love that the world needs? Great, that’s your mission. For me, that’s been entertainment.
What about something the world needs that you’re good at? That’s a vocation. For me, that’s always been leadership.
Make no mistake, looking at yourself and your world like this is not just for beginners. You can ask these questions of yourself at any time—as a gut check, as a reset, or as the start of a new chapter.

^^^^ what's hurting his legacy vis a vis Jordan is only 3 regular season MVPs, besides the asterisk laden super bowls...
