‘Best day of my life’: Tom Brady gifts brain cancer survivor with Super Bowl tickets
]
TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) -Tom Brady is going above and beyond for a child cancer survivor and a huge fan.
10-year-old Bucs fan Noah Reeb, who received a Crucial Catch hat from Tom Brady back in October got a special message last week from the goat.
In the message, Brady told Reeb he remembered the “Tom Brady Helped Me Beat Brain Cancer” sign that Reeb held during the Buccaneers’ week seven win over the Chicago Bears in October.
The first person to see the sign was wide receiver Chris Godwin, who gave Noah his gloves before the game. Then, in the fourth quarter, Godwin told Brady that Noah wanted to meet him.
The goat gracious as ever got up and gave Noah a Bucs hat, happy to hear this young fan beat cancer. This very moment would change Noah’s life.
Last week, Noah’s parents got an email from the Bucs, with a video attached. As they watched it, they began sobbing, both overwhelmed by what they heard.
“You’ve inspired so many people including myself,” Brady said in an NFL post on Twitter, “but millions of others also. The NFL and the Bucs look forward to sending deserving fans to the Super Bowl each year and fans that have incredible stories like the one you’ve had. So as a thank you, I worked with both the Bucs and the NFL to get you and your family Super Bowl tickets this year in LA!
In the video, Noah was left speechless by the touching gesture.
Jacque Reeb, the boy’s mother says Brady goes by a different name in her house, an angel.
“Tom Brady is one of those. His talent and ability, he was a tool used to help beat brain cancer, forever be grateful,” Reeb said.
Reeb’s family received 5 tickets from Brady for the Big Game and it all started with a simple sign.
“I feel so grateful, I mean, Chris Godwin hey give this little boy a wave. but he came over, Reeb said.”
What started as a prayer in the ICU became a promise from Tom Brady, telling Noah to stay strong because dreams really do come true.
Tom Brady’s frustrating first half ends with interception.

Tom Brady was flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct during the second quarter after complaining to the officials about what looked to be a hit to his face by Rams linebacker Von Miller.
The 15-yard penalty was the Buccaneers’ fourth penalty of the game. Brady had never been flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct or taunting in his career before then, according to ESPN.
The flag came in the midst of Brady and the Buccaneers’ most productive drive of the game so far. Brady converted on second-and-17 from the Rams’ 50-yard line, finding Leonard Fournette for a 19-yard gain, but stalled out three plays later. Ryan Succop missed the 48-yard field goal attempt, leaving the score at 17-3.
The Rams milked the clock on their possession, taking 6:41 on a 21-play drive which ended in a 40-yard field goal, putting Los Angeles up, 20-3.
Bruce Arians Addresses Future With Buccaneers, Tom Brady‘s Status After Playoff Loss

Buccaneers coach Bruce Arians confirmed Sunday he will be back with Tampa in 2022 despite the team‘s 30–27 loss to the Rams in the divisional round.
Arians‘s team staged a massive comeback on Sunday afternoon, erasing a 27–3 deficit to tie the contest in the final minute. But with the game on the line, Tampa‘s defense couldn’t deliver. Los Angeles quarterback Matthew Stafford connected with Cooper Kupp on a 44-yard pass, setting the Rams up for the eventual game-winning field goal.
Arians was confident he’ll be back with Tampa in 2022, though he didn’t say the same for his quarterback. Arians deferred to Tom Brady when asked about the 44-year-old’s future, noting “that’s up to Tom.”
Arians, 69, is 80-48-1 across eight seasons as a head coach. He joined the Buccaneers in 2019, and he led Tampa to a win over the Chiefs in Super Bowl LV.

The silly Aaron Rodgers vs. Tom Brady debate officially came to end Saturday night
]
Tom Brady has seven Super Bowl rings and is clearly the GOAT and is still doing incredible things at the age of 44, yet there are still people out there who think Aaron Rodgers is the better QB.
Well, there were still people out there saying that but after Saturday night’s loss by Rodgers and the Packers that debate is now officially over. It should have been over a while ago, really, but now it’s done, just like the Packers’ season.
Rodgers, who didn’t throw a TD pass last night, lost at home in the NFC title game to Brady and the Bucs last season and now has a two-game losing streak at home in the postseason.
Rodgers has lost the last four NFC title games he’s played in and has only played in one Super Bowl, which he won way back in the 2010 season.
With a win today against the Rams, Brady would pass Rodgers for postseason wins against against NFC teams with 11.
Wins and losses are far from the best measurement of a QB but here we are and Brady is obviously the better of two and has been for a long time. When things have mattered the most Brady has succeeded way more than Rodgers.
Twitter had feelings about this debate.
Tom Brady Admits ‘Very Difficult Issue’ With His Wife, Gisele

Amid growing talk of Tom Brady retiring, it’s important to look back on what the Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback said about his marriage with Gisele Bundchen.
Back in the fall, Brady admitted that retirement was a “very difficult issue” in his marriage to the supermodel.
Naturally, Gisele would prefer for Brady to retire so he could spend more time with friends and family members.
“But that’s an issue, and it’s a very difficult issue to reconcile without just saying, ‘Hey, it’s time to retire.’ And I think there’s, you know, we’re coming to the end here too, so I don’t want to miss any of the kids’ stuff,” Brady told his co-hosts, Larry Fitzgerald and Jim Gray.
“I think my wife has, you know, held down the house for a long time now, and I think there’s things that she wants to accomplish. You know, she hasn’t worked as much in the last 10, 12 years just raising our family and kind of committing to being in a life in Boston and then moving to Florida.”
Brady, 44, is reportedly non-committal on the 2022 season and beyond.
Tom Brady remains non-committal to playing beyond this season and although he could decide to play again, it is currently not given, sources tell @JeffDarlington and me.https://t.co/DrL8758io5 — Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) January 23, 2022
Perhaps Brady will finally be swayed to retire this offseason.
The Bucs aren’t done yet, though. Kickoff between Tampa Bay and Los Angeles is set for 3 p.m. E.T.
