Social media commentators already have conversion plans to suggest to Tom Brady.
During the first round of the NFL playoffs, the quarterback of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers was signaled by a tackle from behind, absolutely forbidden in US football, made on a Dallas Cowboys player.
Twitter ignited on this gesture and the American legend was directly compared to Cyril Rool or Casemiro, two footballers known for their penchant for muscular duels.

If he may have to quickly think about what to do with his career, Brady will already have to erase the disappointment of his team's elimination.
The 23rd season of the career of the best American football player in history ended on Monday after this defeat against the Cowboys (31-14), two years after the title won by the "Bucs", the seventh Super Bowl gleaned by the quarterback.
In early 2022, Brady announced his retirement before putting on his US football helmet.
On Monday, he again proved his ability to light up NFL grounds and save yards (unit of distance) for his team, despite his 45 years.
He notably sent a pass of more than 40 yards in the Red Zone and in the arms of his partner Julio Jones, who scored the touchdown of hope in the third quarter time.

The former New England Patriots player offered other great images, like this ball caught at arm's length after an ill-fitting snap (throw-in) from one of his teammates.
For this performance, and his entire career, Brady received a standing ovation when he left the field.

In a press conference, he was evasive about his future.
The American first spoke of "the good night's sleep" that awaited him.
He also said he "just feels like the end of a season", when asked if this loss was special for him.
âThank you guys for this year.
You do not have an easy job and I appreciate that you cover our matches, he also launched to the journalists present.
I like this organization.
Thanks to everyone for having me.
I am very grateful for the respect I have received and I hope I have given you the same in return.

If the evening may have been that of farewells, it could also have taken a dramatic turn.
Russell Gage, partner of Tom Brady, went into spasms after a neck shock and failed to get up.
Transferred to the hospital, he suffers from a concussion.
