It hurts to see this.
Over the weekend, NFL Films released its footage of the Buccaneers at a 49ers game, in which legendary quarterback Tom Brady was mic’d up.
This is a difficult time.
The Bucs were crushed by the 49ers. Brady, a San Francisco native, did his best to motivate his team, but it didn’t work.
“Tom Brady was mic up for him in front of his friends and family for a big homecoming-type game. You could see him trying desperately to fire up a lifeless team throughout the game. The ending was just.. 😔 ,” Dov Kleiman wrote.
This is a sad situation.
“Yeah, he’s gone,” wrote one fan.
“It’s brutal,” said one fan.
“The Buccaneers are unworthy of their greatness. LFG for life,” wrote one fan.
Another fan wrote, “Looking at his game, it seemed like only Brady was struggling to fight. If I were him, I’d quit.”
“NGL this is really sad,” one fan wrote on social media.

Brady, 45, has yet to announce his decision on the 2023 NFL season. If he’s playing, it’ll probably be somewhere other than Tampa Bay.
