Tom Brady officially confirmed his retirement on Tuesday after 22 years in the NFL. To look at things in perspective, Brady started playing quarterback in the NFL in 2000. This is the year of Bush vs. Gore, the year Jennifer Aniston married Brad Pitt, and the year Gladiator won Best Picture in The Oscars. Brady has been a part of cultural conversations for decades, and his nine Super Bowls only add to that.
My absolute favorite meme of Tom Brady was a giant puffy coat he wears to the AFC Championship match in 2017. Meme creators grabbed the photos and released them into the end zone, using editing software to inflate the already huge coat even more.
of Brady unstable walk of Super Bowl 2021 it also earned him a place in the world of memes.
His Microsoft Surface tablet crash on the sidelines in December, and fake viral video showing that Brady makes very perfect passes, he also gained meme status.
So no one should be surprised that Brady’s retirement was good for some memes and jokes.
There was a lot of praise for Brady, as well as this tweet, which declared: “Tom Brady won 12.7 percent of all Super Bowls in history.”
Others imagined what the rest of the NFL was thinking when Brady hung up his pistons (spoiler: relief). One involved a very insincere story by Squidward Sponge Bob he would also miss “success elsewhere!”
It is quite appropriate for Tom Brady’s retirement to draw the same attention to memes as his career. You can argue that he is the greatest football defender of all time, but he was definitely the most memorable.
Many jokes focused on the length of Brady’s career. One man wrote: “If only Brady had better longevity … We will always wonder how great he could be.”
There was a slightly different reaction in places where American football is not played.
One man wrote: “You will not find a single arena to play his game around the world! .. nothing!”
Brady has beaten my teams more times than I would like to think, but one thing is for sure: I will still miss laughing at this puffy coat.
