News Comment #10

Posted at 9:29 am under News Comments

Tom Brady recently passed 100,000 passing yards in his entire career.

This stat also includes his postseason passing yards, because that adds an additional 47 games for him. Typically in North America, postseason stats aren’t included so he really reached 87,067 yards which still holds first place by 6,000 yards in the regular season.

Last Sunday when Brady and the Buccaneers beat the Rams, Brady recorded his 43rd, 4th quarter comeback and his 55th game winning drive.

When the media asked Brady how he felt about reaching 100,000 passing yards, he sort of brushed it off.

“It’s all about the win, man,” he said. “Never cared about that.”

This is news because this is a new record in the NFL and no one has ever reached 6-digits in passing yards. It goes to show how dominant Tom Brady has been in this league for so many years. Many football fans will find this very interesting because they like Brady or maybe because they want their favorite quarterback to try and reach this milestone. Tom Brady is also a well-known professional athlete which also makes this news. The news values in mind would include timeliness, prominence, human-interest, and novelty.

    “It’s all about the win, man,” he said. “Never cared about that.” Does anyone believe that? I don’t need Brady to be a braggart, but he could be honest. Records matter and everyone is allowed to have an ego.
