☆ Tom Brady makes record 44th fourth-quarter comeback as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers beat the New Orleans Saints
▼ + stars: | 2022-12-06 | by ( George Ramsay | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +2 min

CNN —When his team trails in the fourth quarter, Tom Brady is almost inevitable. Down 13 points against the New Orleans Saints in the closing minutes, Brady steered the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to an improbable 17-16 win on Monday Night Football. The win was extraordinary even by Brady’s standards, marking the largest regular-season fourth-quarter comeback in his career, according to ESPN. That brought Tampa Bay within six points before Brady orchestrated an 11-play, game-winning drive and found Rachaad White for the touchdown with three seconds remaining. New Orleans have a bye this weekend and next face the Atlanta Falcons on December 18, while Tampa Bay play the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday.

Florida police are seeking to arrest former Buccaneers and Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown, authorities said Thursday, in connection to an alleged domestic battery incident in Tampa.

Brown is wanted for alleged battery and police have a court-ordered warrant for his arrest, officials said. If no one signs Brown, his career will end with 928 receptions, good for 12,291 yards and 83 touchdowns.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker Carl Nassib dreamed of a different kind of social media app for years — one that celebrates positivity and community. Details of the investment were not released, though Financial Finesse Ventures said their typical investment ranges from $500,0000 to $1.5 million for a minority stake. “These kids were in really, really desperate need and the most moving part about it was they were half a mile from where we went to work every day,” he added. Social media platforms are going through a rough patch, between Elon Musk’s struggles with Twitter and Facebook parent company Meta laying off 11,000 workers. So we’re combatting all those negatives of social media by getting people out of their houses and giving back.

☆ Star quarterback and FTX investor Tom Brady just changed his Twitter profile photo from the Bitcoin laser eyes meme, signaling the end of an era for crypto

Tom Brady just signaled the end of an era for crypto with a quiet change of his Twitter profile photo. Brady switched his profile photo from the "laser eyes" meme, which symbolized bullishness in Bitcoin. Social media profiles with "laser eyes" grew in popularity among cryptocurrency believers last year as a way for them to symbolically show bullishness in crypto, particularly in Bitcoin. Bitcoin is currently trading at $16,000, its lowest level in two years, and most original laser eye photos have now disappeared from Twitter. Brady was one of the final holdouts with a "laser eyes" photo; many noteworthy people quietly switched away from the meme as cryptocurrency prices crashed this year.
