Tom Brady decided to retire during the 2022 NFL offseason after 22 seasons in the NFL. His career-ending announcement was short-lived. Brady’s retirement lasted all of 40 days before he announced he was returning to the Buccaneers to play his age-45 season.

The NFL doesn’t hand out the Super Bowl host site to just any stadium. There are several factors taken into account when the league picks where its championship will be played.

Scott Spina of Roseland, New Jersey might have worked harder on this Tom Brady Super Bowl ring scam than Brady did for any individual ring. The professional fraudster, who previously was sentenced to 35 months in a federal prison for defrauding customers and stealing their credit card information via a boutique sneaker shop “opened” with rapper Fat Joe, was sentenced Monday to three years in prison for selling fraudulent Brady Super Bowl rings, one of which sold for over $337,000 at auction.

The discussion in New Orleans ahead of a college football national championship — as discussions like this can among wordsmiths and golden throats — started over beers, maybe a Crown-and-Coke or three.

Don’t worry — you won’t be seeing five more years of Tom Brady. That is, at least, according to the quarterback himself. Brady made the decision to retire, then swiftly un-retire, this offseason, spending just 40 days away from the field.
