NFL Community Celebrates Tom Brady's 42nd Birthday
Some call him Touchdown Tom; others simply refer to him as The Pharaoh. But no matter what you [...]
Julian Edelman, the MVP of Super Bowl LIII and Tom Brady's favorite target, is undefeated on social media. The former quarterback-turned-wide receiver said "happy birthday" to Brady in his own unique way, creating a video compilation from footage throughout the QB's career. Some moments were heartfelt with Edelman and Brady embracing while others focused on the goofier moments. He obviously included Brady looking for a high five and receiving nothing in return.
Of course, Edelman set the entire video to "You're Still the One" by Shania Twain. He also said that Brady was too "f'n old for birthday cake."

Is Tom Brady the Messiah? If you ask someone from Massachusetts, the answer is a resounding YES. Joking aside, Brady is truly a man that truly made the Patriots a household name. Granted, New England did appear in the Super Bowl in 1985, as well as 1996, but Brady brought this franchise to another level.

The message from Dov Kleiman is a very simple one. Just look at how effective Tom Brady has been throughout his career, even after being a sixth-round pick back in 2000. Brady is the only player in NFL history with six Super Bowl rings to his name, and he has appeared in a jaw-dropping nine total games. As Kleiman writes, Brady has been to more Super Bowls (nine) in his 17 healthy years than he has missed (eight).

With Tom Brady turning 42, the question inevitably becomes, "When will he retire?" The answer depends on who you ask. Brady has previously stated that he wants to play until he is 45, which would be the longest career by a quarterback. Is it possible?

Outsiders have been referencing a gradual decline for nearly half a decade, but Brady continues to seemingly get stronger on a yearly basis. His arm strength has appeared to fluctuate over the years, but he is still very effective while leading touchdown drives.
