TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Tom Brady has announced his retirement. Brady won a record seven Super Bowls for New England and Tampa Bay. He is the most successful quarterback in NFL history and one of the greatest athletes in team sports. He posted the announcement on social media in a brief video lasting just under one minute. He says this time it’s for good. He briefly retired after the 2021 season but wound up coming back for one more year. He retires at age 45, the owner of numerous passing records in an unprecedented 23-year career.

It’s only fitting that the top two quarterbacks in the regular season based on All-Pro voting are the last two quarterbacks standing in the NFL this season. First-team All-Pro quarterback Patrick Mahomes will take his Kansas City Chiefs into the Super Bowl against second-team All-Pro Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles. This marks the seventh time since the merger that the first-team All-Pro quarterback will face the second-teamer for the championship. It last happened in the 2016 season when second-teamer Tom Brady’s Patriots beat first-teamer Matt Ryan’s Falcons 34-28 in overtime.

Beaver

The Bobcats went up the road to the home of the Blackhawk Cougars and in front of a big crowd showed that they are a team that can play, Blackhawk came out and hit a three pointer on their first shot but that was the last lead of the game for the Cougars on senior night for Blackhawk. The first couple of quarters where what Bruce Frey described as street ball with both teams running and gunning up and down the court. The first quarter Beaver went up 14 to 7, the second quarter was fast paced and Beaver was playing a two three zone and it was causing Blackhawk to turn the ball over many times . The third quarter Blackhawk started to make a comeback getting the lead down to 11 points but the Bobcats kept making shots and finished the game off going away with the win 63 to 39. Mike Azadian and Bruce Frey had the call on 99.3 FM 95.7 FM and WBVP/WMBA and world wide on Beaver County Radio.
