and then yeah, espn, adam schefter's a very reliable reporter. generally dead on any patriots stuff over the years. when people saw that everybody just jumped on it, went with it de facto that tom was retiring. the timing of it seemed curious at that time. it still does. i believe it to be true, but we don't know that. and as you stated, you you know, being the reporter that you are, these denials are just about timing. they're not about hey, he's going to play next year. we're not hearing any of that. and i don't think he is. >> right. and you're pointing out the timing would be unusual because he would likely not make an announcement like this before the super bowl. right? is that what you mean? >> well, i mean, tomorrow's the conference championship game. he doesn't want to take the thunder away from that. he doesn't want to have the spotlight on himself when he does this. he wants to do it on his own terms. even in boston where more people care about him than anywhere we've got this amazing, you know, thunderstorm today of snow and people are

espn is still reporting the football star is retiring britney and trent brady's agent did not confirm or deny the report yesterday's agent released a statement saying brady would be the only one to announce his plans with complete accuracy but some nfl insiders say this likely has something to do with brady wanting to have control over the narrative. the nfl network and rappaport tweeted tom brady does intend to retire hurt several people close to him the pushback appears to be based on the timing rather than his eventual decision. last monday brady was asked about retiring on his podcast apart he said he will quote know when he knows it. he also said he's taking his health and family into consideration. >> the biggest difference now than i am older is, i have kids now too. and i care about them a lot as well. you know, they have been my biggest supporters, my wife is my biggest supporter. you know, it pains her to see me get hit out there. she deserves what she needs for me as a husband paired my kids deserve what they need for me as a dad. >> yesterday multiple outlets reported brad

espn "sportscenter.” >> what happened in the 1980s is sports becomes a tv show. and what are tv shows built around? they're built around characters. >> you can't be serious, man. you cannot be serious! you got the absolute -- >> mcenroe, the perfect villain. the new yorker that people loved to hate. borg the cool swede, never giving any emotion away. >> what tennis really wants is to get its two best players playing over and over again in the final. whether they are john mcenroe and bjorn borg or chris evert and martina navratilova, that's what we want to tune in to over and over and over. >> three match points to martina navratilova. >> this man has a smile that lights up a television screen from here to bangor, maine. >> and then there is magic johnson, this urban kid from michigan, and larry bird, this guy who worked carrying trash. one plays for the lakers. the other plays for the boston celtics. it's a great story. >> lakers had several chances. here's larry bird. >> magic johnson leads the attack. >> look at that pass. oh, what's a show! oh, what a show! >>

earlier today espn reported he was retiring after 22 seasons. it's kind of stunning. brady's mother says the reports are not true. on top of that, brady reached out to buccaneers general manager to say he has not made a decision yet. brady's agent issued a statement saying without getting into the accuracy or inaccuracy of what's being reported, tom will be the only person to express his plans with complete accuracy. the seven-time super bowl champion may retire, maybe go after one more super bowl. we still have to wait and see. you worked in boston where he was the lord mayor. >> absolutely. the g.o.a.t. this would be the top story there. the entire newscast would be on tom brady. will he retire or not, besides the blizzard that they are dealing with now. you actually spoke with his mother today. >> i talked to her. she answers phone and we start talking like she was the most real person. she goes, the family would know. we don't know about this. this is not accurate. he has announced it. he may some time soon but as of right now, that has not been announced by tom b

arians telling espn he doesn't know why brown refused to enter the game, but one thing that is for certain -- >> he's no longer a buc. i'm not talking about him, he's not part of the bucs. >> teammate tom brady striking a softer tone after the game. >> we all love him. we care about him deeply. we want to see him be at his best, unfortunately it won't be with our team. >> the nfl veteran who won a super bowl with the bucs is no stranger to scandal. in 2019 he was accused of sexual assault. also brown was charged with felony burglary for an incident involving a moving company truck. just last week he returned to the field after being suspended three games for turning in a fake vaccination card. just hours after leaving yesterday's game, he posted this picture on instagram saying, thanks for the opportunity. this incident was so bizarre and strange. the security officials at the stadium initially thought brown was a fan who had jumped onto the field. he later asked police for a ride to the airport. >>> coming up, the toddler from ohio who just got a royal dispatch from the queen. >>> but fir

joining me now is espn host and executive producer of steven's world. steven smith. thank you for being with us. steven, you say it's bad for the nba if the nets win, and that caused quite a stir. what do you mean? >> what i mean is that they've got a part-time player that they are relying upon and they went and compromised themselves and went against their own rules and stipgs. once the mandate came down in new york that you had to be vaccinated otherwise you wouldcouldn't play at madison s garden and places like the b barclay center or things of that nature, the brooklyn nets made it clear that they weren't interested in a part-time p player. you're either in or out. that's the position that they took. then while they were the number one seed in the eastern conference, because of the amount of work sand load that i put on shoulders of the kevin durant and right others, they decided to go against their own policy and bring chkyrie irving back. now if fairness to them, they still have to pay him for the most part not to mention the fact that there is a luxury tax tha

espn reported that tom brady was retiring from the nfl after 22 seasons, a shock. this afternoon i spoke with brady's mom who told me the reports are not true. brady reached out to the bucs general manager to say he has not made a decision yet. agents also issued a statement that says without getting into accuracy or inaccuracy of what is being report, tom will be the only person to express his plans with complete accuracy. >> you stayed on top of that one, terry, getting hold of his mom. >> she was very nice. >>> nonfungible tokens may be brand new but there's already a museum dedicated to the concept. seattle opened likely the first nft museum this month. a form of cryptocurrency. art here is examples of art bo bought and sold as nonfungible tokens. artists showcase here, group doing it differently. >> rather than selling prints, that's not how work is to be experienced if that makes sense. i prefer to keep the art on the screen, that's how it was created. >> first half of 2021, nfts accounted for $2.5 billion in sales. >> wow. >>> check this out, not one but two

now, according to espn, his agent put out a statement reading quote, i understand the speculation about tom's future. without getting into the accuracy or inaccuracy of what's being report ed, tom will be the only person to express his plans with complete accuracy. he knows the realities of the football business as well as anybody so that should be soon. joining us now is cnn's sports anchor, andy. there appears to be some confusion about whether he will retire, won't, hasn't announced it yet. what is going on? >> social media is going nuts because a good half hour to an hour, it was tom brady's retiring. we were all reflecting on the greatest football career we've ever seen and then comes you know, some other rep tabl reporters reporting it's not a done deal yet and brady may not have made his decision yet. we're kind of in limbo. adam, jeff, very plugged in nfl reporters, they were the ones to break this news. so if he is in fact retiring, it certainly is a sad day for sports fans. especially an extra sad day for anyone born in the late '70s or early '80s because he was the oldest sup

espn reports the league made a proposal and the players didn't like it. the league offered to increase the pay for younger players, but the union described that proposal as disappointing. no word yet on how or when the players plan to counter. pitchers and catchers supposed to report in just a few weeks. cnbc's sports business reporter jabari young is here can they do this, or is it a lost cause. >> they can do it, and they will do it. there will be baseball this year, it's just a matter of when they will do it. today's meeting was more a temperature gauge. you know, how both sides were feeling. you just mentioned it. the players weren't necessarily happy. i wasn't expecting them to go into any meeting happy, but they are talking, right that's progress because just a month ago they were locked out, and those counterproposals that they made just weren't getting anywhere but i look at this as saying, hey, what do they see eye to eye on you can look at that as saying where are they counterproposing at, the draft lottery, how to revamp that, maybe something l

listen, despite what's come out since, espn for its part says they're standing by its reporting. what is going on? is he not retiring or might this be about tom brady wanting to control the narrative? >> alex, you took the words out of my mouth. i think he wants control of the narrative. i do believe he's going to retire. i don't think he would ever make this announcement right before the two championship games. not even sure he'll make it before the super bowl game. this may drag out for a few weeks, but i believe he is going to retire and it will be like babe ruth walking away from baseball. it will be that significant. i was thinking about this the other day. babe ruth won seven world series and lost three. tom brady won seven super bowls and lost three and they were both head and shoulders above the rest of their sport for two decades. >> and add to that five i think super bowl mvp awards. he's amassed so many accolades, but what in your mind stands out most about his career? what do you think his legacy is? is he the undisputed goat. >> he is. not sure we would have said tha

that we're now covering here on espn it's live nine times. he was going for his tenth and his 1st major overall. but he's very strong-willed, as we've seen and obviously he should, could have gotten vaccinated. this whole thing would be behind us and behind the tennis world and for him as well, but he's dug his heels in. he's in a big, big way, and it appears that he's not being manipulated in any way that he's going to do what he wants to do. every single other tennis player at the highest level has made a decision, pope, to get vaccinated. many of them weren't even as recently as the u.s. open a couple of months ago. in fact, about 50% of the male players at that time were not vaccinated, but they saw what was coming with the australian open, and this is just the first domino to fall in the tennis world and in the world in general. >> thank you very much. it's good to have your analysis parks trick mcenroe. we look forward to watching the tournament regardless. >> tennis actually. >> thank you, pope. >> tributes continue to pour in for belo

joining us now former professional tennis player an espn commentator and host of the podcast holding court. patrick, i've got to be honest i've been intently interested in the story and completely confused about where things stand at the moment given all the different things at play, but you've been critical of australia's handlingf this entire process. what do you make of kind of this latest development or information? >> well, trust me, phil, you're not the only one who's confused because this story just keeps -- we're peeling away layer after layer in the last couple of days. so here's where it stands right now as we speak. novack djokovic assumed that when he got clearance he got this so-called medical exemption to be able to get into the country of australia unvaccinated and compete at the australian open he was good to go. when he tweeted out a picture -- i'm sorry on instagram he put a picture of himself on his way to australia this then created a political firestorm down under in australia because the federal government said wait a second you may have gotten a visa to play in

powering possibilities. >>> espn commentator stephen a. smith revealing his near deadly battle with covid, crediting the vaccine and doctors for saving his life. listen. >> i had a 103 degree fever every night. woke up with chills, pool of sweat. headaches were massive. coughing profusely. it got to a point that right before new year's eve, i was in hospital new year's eve into new year's day. that's how i brought in the new year. they told me, had i not been vaccinated, i wouldn't be here. that's how bad i was. i had pneumonia in both lungs. my liver was bad. it ravaged me, to the point where, even now, i have to monitor my volume. i have to get in the gym every day, walk before you run. work your way back, because i'm not 100% with my lungs. but i'm covid negative, all that stuff. i'm on the road to recovery. but if it wasn't for the several doctors, like dr. booth, dr. sp spevak and others, i wouldn't be here. >> we are glad he is back. >>> just in, a dire warning from health care officials in four oklahoma city hospitals, writing in an
