Could this Truly be the End?

By: Alex Grondin and Jason Stellakis

        With dozens of rumors of the possible retirement of the greatest of all time Tom Brady, we will be breaking down his career, accolades, and the 5 greatest games we have ever witnessed him play. Over the 22 years he played, Brady won a combined 18 division titles (17 with the Patriots), 7 Super Bowls (6 with the Patriots), and won 10 conference championship games (9 AFC championships and 1 NFC championship). Brady was a three time league MVP and a five time Super Bowl MVP. Brady also has a handful of NFL records with the most quarterback wins at 243, the most passing yards at 84,520, surpassing former Saints quarterback Drew Brees this season, and the most passing touchdowns with 624. Not bad for the 199th pick in the 2000 NFL draft. 


The 5 Greatest Games We Have Ever Witnessed Him Play


5. Patriots vs. Jaguars 2017-2018 AFC Championship

In the 2018 AFC championship game, Tom Brady went head to head against Blake Bortles and the “sacksonville” Jaguars. For the Jaguars the 2017-2018 season was defined by their defense, they had one of the best in the NFL. They had a total of 21 interceptions and a whopping 55 sacks. The Jaguars had 105 quarterback hits and 83 tackles for losses. Despite this, Brady threw for 290 yards and 2 touchdowns on 26 completions and led his team to a 24-20 victory. Not to mention in Brady style, he helped his team take the lead just before the two minute warning.


4. Patriots vs. Ravens 2014-2015 AFC Divisional Round

Not many people remember this game, but this was an amazing game played by Tom Brady. He passed for 367 yards and 3 touchdowns. The Patriots were down 14-0 and 28-14 in this game, but Brady did what he did best against the highly ranked Baltimore defense and came back and won the game. This win would propel the Patriots to a Super Bowl victory. 


3.  Patriots vs. Broncos 2013 Week 11

In one of the greatest regular season comebacks of all time the Patriots hosted rival Denver Broncos. At half time the Patriots were down 24-0, however with the Brady Belichick combination, anything was possible. Brady came back throwing for a total of 344 yards and 3 touchdowns as they outscored the Broncos 31-7 in the 3rd and 4th quarter. Then with the game tied at 31 apiece in overtime, by a stroke of luck, the Broncos muffed their punt and the Patriots took over at the Broncos 13 yards line. A few moments later they sent out kicker Stephen Gostkoski to finish the game. 


2. Patriots vs. Eagles Super Bowl 52

Despite losing the Super Bowl, this was one of the best performances in the career of Tom Brady. He threw for 505 passing yards (wow), and 3 touchdowns. He had a QB rating of 115.4, which is incredible to say the very least. Not to mention that the Patriots did not punt once in that game. When looking at his career, this had to be one of Tom Brady’s best games played in his career, even though the game resulted in a loss. 


1. Patriots vs. Falcons Super Bowl 51

This game explains itself, since coming back from a 28-3 deficit does not come easy. Brady had a terrible first half, throwing an 82 yard pick-6 to Falcons corner, Robert Alford, for the first time in his Super Bowl career. Brady only had 17 minutes to tie up the game. Brady threw for 466 yards and 2 touchdowns in the game alone. In our opinion, this is undoubtedly the best sports comeback of all time. We believe this was his best game played because if you put anyone else in this situation, we can guarantee you, they would not make the comeback.

Mikey Nabbout’s Return and The Prep’s Complete Game Leads to a Win VS Attleboro

By: Jason Stellakis DANVERS— On a warm night in November, the St. John’s Prep Football team defeated the Attleboro Bombardiers, 46-7. The Prep will move on to the next round of the playoffs and play Andover High School next Friday.  Similar to last week, the Prep’s offense dominated in the first half. Perhaps one of the highlights of the night was star wide receiver Jesse Ofurie’s 65 yard TD from quarterback Deacon Robillard.  Robillard, making only his third start of the season, threw for 3 TD in the first half alone. Touchdowns in the first half alone were scored by Jesse Ofurie (2), Cam LaGrassa (1), Steph Patrick (1), Carson Browne (1), Jack Fillion (1), and Santiago Quiceno (1). The Prep led Attleboro at the half, 46-0.  On the other side of the ball, saying the Prep’s defense was spectacular would be an understatement. The Prep did not allow a single first down from the Attleboro offense.  One of the biggest stories coming into the game was the return of defens...

Marcelo Mayer Holds the Future for the Red Sox

  MLB Pipeline released the 2023 list for top prospects , and Red Sox top prospect Marcelo Mayer ranks 9th overall. The poised superstar has the potential to become the league’s best shortstop once he reaches the major leagues.  In his 91 games played in 2022 combined in both Single-A Salem and High-A Greenville, Mayer slashed .280/.399/.489 with 13 HRs . The number four overall pick in 2021 has real potential But he is only a prospect, and all people can do is make assumptions to how he will pan out. With the departure of longtime SS Xander Bogaerts, it can be implied that the Red Sox are reliant on Mayer making the major leagues in just one or two seasons. Because Mayer has only played in Single A, he is most likely going to need two seasons in the minors before he gets a taste of the bigs. With this all being said, the Red Sox are taking a huge risk with Mayer. It is a good time to remember that top prospects do not always pan out. It happened in 1993 with the Yankees and p...
