In either case, we have the Jaguars to be thankful to.

Tom Brady's return to the Madden 23 coins has been somewhat irritating for many of us. It seemed to be a foregone conclusion No. 12 would return. However, one person is extremely upset about the news as well as hilarious.

On the night of Saturday, an unidentified bidder bought the ball that was Tom Brady's final touchdown for $518K, according to auction site Lelands. In less than 24 hours it turned into an ordinary touchdown ball. It's one of the funniest unexpected drops in value of any piece of sports memorabilia ever.

I'm usually not a fan for this kind of schadenfreude, however if you're investing $518k in a football, it's clear that you have more money than. And that's not even mentioning the fact that there are already persistent reports Brady could return someday, and reports suggest that No. 12 wasn't 100 % convinced on the idea of leaving Madden NFL 23. despite having announced his departure.

It was the "final touchdown pass" ball was made on a 55-yarder by Brady to Mike Evans in the fourth quarter of the NFC Divisional Playoff game against the Rams. It was hard to believe the ball held any significance and, as such, Evans was the one to throw the ball into the crowd.

After a while, it was apparent that this might be a highly, extremely precious memorabilia piece -or at least it was. The ball wasn't given back to Brady and is now given away and praise to the seller for moving on from the situation quickly and not holding it in the hope that it would grow in value.

Now the new owner has to hold the bag. The ball has value, but is essentially worthless compared to the half-million paid. If Brady will eventually throw another touchdown it will just be another ball. You'll feel bad.

The first round of 2022's Madden NFL 23 Draft just one week away, we're getting closer and closer to making the selections and erasing the pre-draft anxiety all football fans live in. The period leading up to the draft can be stressful especially even if you're part of an underperforming team because everyone is hoping their team doesn't screw it up. If your team reached the playoffs, great -and you're hoping that a bad team screws up and lets a talented player fall.

In the past, we've seen several mock drafts by ESPN's Mel Kiper and Todd McShay On Tuesday, they released their first mock in a group of the year. the two experts in drafts alternating picks up until the final selection of the third draft. Today we're looking at the most significant things that leapt at me when I saw this mock.

I really like Georgia defensive lineman Travon Walker However, even so, I'm not convinced we've had a good season with him. Walker was a mid-to-late round pick at best just prior to the combine and then he stunned all with his athleticism and since then, his popularity is at the top of the list.

Kiper is Walker taking No. 2 overall for the Lions which is based on the fact that cheapest madden coins they'll stick to pass rush, despite Aidan Hutchinson being off the board (he's taken the No. 1). On some level I get I understand it.
