TAMPA, Fla. (AP) – Tom Brady stood at a stage, discussing what went wrong after throwing 66 passes and basically getting pushed around and eventually out of the 2022 season's playoffs by the Dallas Cowboys. "Kind of typical how we played all year — inefficient in the passing game, not very effective in the run game, so it's hard to defeat good teams like that," Brady said following the Cowboys' 31-14 thrashing. Is he finished in Tampa? Will there be another opportunity, perhaps in Las Vegas, Miami, or Tennessee? Is it time to make the switch to the broadcast booth? His manner after Monday night's disaster did not reflect a 23-year veteran who had just played his final game. He smiled as he spoke with backup QB Blaine Gabbert while changing for street clothes, patted his offensive linemen on the back as they sat in front of their lockers, and told many Bucs players and representatives, "See you tomorrow." He seemed light, perhaps happy that the long season was finally over, but primarily emotionless. Is this how Tom Brady will go out – a 35-of-66, two-touchdown, one-interception, fairly forgettable performance? This isn't O.J. Simpson hobbling to the finish line in a San Francisco 49ers uniform, or Willie Mays playing out the string for the New York Mets. Brady is a year removed from leading the league in passing yards and touchdowns and was on the verge of winning his fourth MVP award. The only reason his future is in doubt is due to his age. Nonetheless, here we are. Brady's whole career has been defined by proving doubters wrong, from his first Super Bowl triumph against the great Rams to his seventh victory over the tenacious Chiefs... as well as everywhere in between. Counting him out even while the calendars continued to turn beyond any other quarterback in NFL history became so dangerous that most of us stopped doing it.
"I'm going to go home and get some sleep," he remarked when asked what he planned to do next. He avoided queries about his future, then returned to the Buccaneers locker room, into the bowels of Raymond James Stadium, and finally into a black Tesla, where he drove away with a videographer in tow for... what?

As well as taking home the prize money, 35-year-old Weinman also got his hands on the WSOP Main Event bracelet.

Daniel Weinman won the World Series of Poker's main event world championship on Monday in Las Vegas, earning $12.1 million along the way. Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table. "I was honestly on the fence about even coming back and playing this tournament," the 35-year-old Atlanta native told reporters afterward. Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
