Is it time for Patrick Mahomes to pass Tom Brady as the GOAT?
Pending a possible history making three-peat, Lorenzo Reyes and Tyler Dragon talk Patrick Mahomes being considered the “greatest of all time.”
Sports Seriously
Mark your calendars, New England Patriots fans.
On Thursday, the Patriots announced the date for unveiling a bronze statue of quarterback Tom Brady outside Gillette Stadium: August 8.
Team owner Robert Kraft initially revealed the plans to build the statue exactly one year ago Thursday during the ceremony to enshrine Brady into the Patriots Hall of Fame.
“Last year we commissioned a local sculptor to create a larger-than-life, bronze statue to perpetuate the legendary legacy of this once-in-a-lifetime player,” Kraft said.
The statue, which is the first the team has built for any player, will be 12 feet tall, Kraft said at the time.
Though the team initially planned to unveil the statue during the 2024 season, those plans were eventually pushed back to 2025. So the new date, just under two months away, will instead coincide with the Patriots’ first preseason game against the Washington Commanders.
Brady spent the first 20 years of his 23-season career with New England, winning six Super Bowls, four Super Bowl MVPs and three NFL MVP awards over that span. He played the final three seasons of his career with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, where he won one more Super Bowl and another Super Bowl MVP award before retiring after the 2022 season.
Brady began his television broadcasting career with Fox during the 2024 season, serving as the color commentator for the network’s lead broadcast team alongside play-by-play announcer Kevin Burkhardt. He made his Super Bowl broadcasting debut earlier this year during the Philadelphia Eagles’ Super Bowl 59 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs.
Brady will become eligible for enshrinement into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2028.
