Tom Brady Shines, But Team USA Dominates Flag Football
ESPN ^ | Mar 21, 2026

Tom Brady started out like the GOAT of flag football before Team USA dominated the day.

Brady fired a perfect touchdown pass to Stefon Diggs in the corner of the end zone on his first play in a competitive football game in more than 1,000 days.

The 48-year-old, seven-time Super Bowl champion even showed unusual elusive skills by evading a sack on a free rush, stepped up and delivered a strike for the TD after replacing Jalen Hurts on fourth-and-goal on the opening drive of the game.

Fun to watch. The quickness and elusiveness of team USA was impressive.

Not if you’re a diehard U-M fan since the 60’s. Or met Bo a couple times.

BS, it is amazing that Tom Brady is still a better QB than 90% of the NFL at the age of 48.
It really is impressive.
I understand that this is a flag football game but the guy still would be a better backup than a lot of other NFL players. Right up until he got hit.

The headline almost doesn’t make sense.

To correct it—or enhance it—Tom Brady was on a Team called the Founders, and got beat by a team Called Team USA, 43-16.

What this really is about is the Olympics. Flag football is going to be an Olympic sport at the next games. Team USA - the team that smoked Brady and a bunch of other NFL types - is an actual flag football team that has been playing flag football together for a while. The arrogant NFL players think they should be representing the USA at the Olympics instead. They just got shown that flag football is NOT the same as NFL football as two teams of NFL players just got crushed by the REAL flag football team.

I’m sure they didn’t learn the lesson or any humility, and they will still whine that they should go to the Olympics instead of Team USA (that crushed them decisively). Hopefully our Olympic committee has the stones to tell them to pound salt and sends Team USA.
