TIL it's not fun when your friend applies for something and you have to reject them cuz there's someone better

In light of the fact that the best way to truly learn something is to teach it (and totally not because I'm too lazy to Google), who is Denmark Vesey?

Free Black guy who was accused and convicted of planning a slave revolt in 1822.
had to study about him for a HS history project

Not a surprise AB really did that team (and Tom in particular) dirty this year, and now most of their core guys are up for renewal and will be looking to get big money. He's not going to stick around for a rebuild, he has his money, has his family, and his health.

The worst part is @Oegyein's description does him a disservice:
Tom Brady ranks first all-time in:

• Wins: 243
• Pro Bowls: 15
• Super Bowl MVP Awards: 5
• Starts: 316
• Completions: 7,263
• Attempts: 11,317
• Passing Yards: 84,520
• Passing Touchdowns: 624
• Three-Touchdown Games: 101
• Four-Touchdown Games: 39

In the postseason, he leads in:

• Appearances (season): 19
• Games Started: 47
• Wins: 35
• Super Bowl Appearances: 10
• Super Bowl Wins: 7 (More than any FRANCHISE has won at this point)
• Completions: 1,165
• Passing Yards: 13,049
• Passing Touchdowns: 86
• Game-Winning Drives: 14
• Fourth-Quarter Comebacks: 9

He finished his last season leading the league in passing yards (5.316), passing touchdowns (43) and completions (485) at age 44. All from a guy that was the 199th overall draft pick, in the sixth round behind, Chad Pennington, Giovanni Carmazzi, Chris Redman, Tee Martin, Marc Bulger, Spurgeon Wynn.

It's the difference in acclimating! You would like extremely hot weather!
