If you don't live on Planet Earth, you may not have heard that Tom Terrific and the New England Patriots lost to the Tennessee Titans. I'm not a football fan and, if I were, I wouldn't be a Patriots fan. But I do occasionally pay attention to a bit of what's happening in and around the NFL. My sense is that Tom Brady has been basically about average this year, far off his stats for prior seasons. He's 42 years old and has won six super bowls. He has said he wants to play until he's 45.
What do you think? My view is that he should retire now, rather than crank out two or three mediocre seasons to wind down an otherwise stellar career.
