(Dad writes today. Happy February! ~ Tracy)
Derf Here! Another sunny, cold (current temp 15°) morning. Temps should get up to low 20s this afternoon.
The big news for today: Tom Brady has retired at age 45. He said this retirement would last. (Only time will tell.) He led the league this year in completions. He seemed a little emotional in his statement today, which is understandable since he played football for well over half his life. He leaves the game holding about all of the football quarterback records. A job well done. He is a specimen. He will be missed. (But we will get to see how he does in a broadcasting career, since he has a contract with FOX.)
Comparisons are now being made between Tom Brady's GOAT career and that of Michael Jordan. Being an older citizen, I say the top GOAT in sports has to be Bill Russell with the Boston Celtics. He played, I believe, for 13 years and won 11 titles. (I think my numbers are correct.) He never was the great scorer like Wilt Chamberlain, but he certainly had Wilt's number. I remember seeing the two play against one another. I also liked Cousy, Sharman, Tom Heinsohn, and the rest of the Celtics.
Enough for today!
Until next time!
Toodle Pip!
Derf!
