By Alexander Cobbs As P.T. Barnum once said, “There's a sucker born every minute.” As everyone already knows, on February 3rd, the legendary NFL quarterback Tom Brady announced that he will be retiring for good. Brady has played a total of 23 seasons in the NFL and has won a record-setting 7 Super Bowls. Tom Brady filmed his retirement speech on a surfside beach in Miami. In the video he thanked everyone who was involved in his 23 year-long run. He knew that it was finally time to hang up his cleats and pass on the torch. What Brady didn’t know was that a random individual caught on to the location of his retirement and put the sand of Tom Brady’s “exact retirement spot” in a jar and put it up for auction. What’s even more shocking is that people are actually bidding for it.
There’s no proof for the sand in the jar to be the exact sand Brady was sitting on as he announced his retirement. There’s also nothing really significant about the jar as it’s not signed by the 7-time champion either. But this didn’t stop over a 100 people with money to burn from placing their bid on the sand. The bid went even higher than what was expected, and reached up to a massive 100,000 dollars. That’s right, a jar of sand that Tom Brady might have sat on made six figures. The person behind the auction was later revealed to be a TikTok creator named Betr Carol. In her video, Carol said, “I was a Tom Brady fan for a really long time and I’m actually sitting exactly where he retired this morning,” She then used the buildings in the background as proof. She finished the video off saying that every dollar she lost from betting on Brady, she will be making back because she was going to sell the sand. Lucky for her, she was right because there’s always some fool on the Internet who’s willing to pay top dollar for the silliest things.
