Daily Brews: Tom Brady finds new NFL home

One of the greatest ever will try to win a Super Bowl in Tampa.

Six-time Super Bowl champion and former Michigan Wolverines quarterback Tom Brady announced Tuesday he would be leaving the New England Patriots on social media.

This decision ends his 20-year run with the Patriots and the nine Super Bowl appearances he had with head coach Bill Belichick.

The three-time MVP is expected to sign with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and make around $30 million per year.

While some may consider this to be a money-grabbing move with the high salary and lack of income tax, Tampa has actually put itself in a great situation to be a contender. Brady will have Chris Godwin, Mike Evans and O.J. Howard as his main targets, and an offensive line that was ranked in the top 10 in pass-blocking last season. On top of that, offensive mastermind Bruce Arians will be calling the shots.

Rumor has it the Buccaneers may also look into adding Antonio Brown, who created a brief connection with Brady in New England last season. Some reporters from WEEI in Boston believe the two may have been a package deal.

The Buccaneers and Brady are expected to make the deal official on Wednesday.

Two-year anniversary of Poole’s buzzer-beater

While it’s a tragedy we were robbed of moments like these this season, we can still reminisce on one of the most absurd moments in March Madness history.

That’s a shot you and I will remember for the remainder of our lifetimes. Poole’s shot would propel the Wolverines into a championship run that ended with a loss to the Villanova Wildcats in the finale.
