Tom Brady is going to retire after this season

Tom Brady, Tom vs. Time... for my personal takeaway, it seems like he's gone. She [Gisele] deserves what she needs from me as a husband and my kids deserve what they need from me as a dad... from right now where I stand, I feel like he's gonna walk.

The Bengals have no chance of beating the Chiefs in the AFC Championship

I don't think that the Bengals have a chance in hell of beating the Chiefs with these two teams. Bengals are two years away from even being able to compete against the Chiefs. There's no chance that a team like the Bengals could go up against the Chiefs and outscore them clubs. 0% clip chance.
