There isn’t much that seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady and I have in common. I imagine he boasts a net worth and average mile time that I could only dream of. But this past Sunday, I learned that we’re not so different, NFL legend Tom Brady and I. Because it seems that, in his post-divorce, post-retirement years, Tom has become a fan of sharing needless updates via Sunday-afternoon Instagram shitposting. Yes, this past weekend, Tom took to his IG to share a couple of uncharacteristically vulnerable selfies.

“So this is what you do on a Sunday,” he captioned one, followed by an emoji selection most native to sophomore-year frat brothers and that your one younger cousin who leaves borderline misogynistic thirst comments under Madelyn Cline’s Instagram posts. “OK, major move…” he said in the next: “From the couch to the bed… This is what Sunday is all about.” I would love to believe that he added the winky, tongue-out emoji here from a place of whimsy, but it does read more like an attempt to be flirtatious.

This minute-by-minute coverage is coming from someone who spent 23 NFL seasons dominating on the field, securing touchdowns and fourth downs or whatever they do out there. So it’s no surprise it sparked a bit of fascination among fans. A number of people attributed this behavior to general boredom. How does a man who spent decades at the top of his industry become accustomed to watching Sunday Night Football at home like the rest of us plebeians? By live-posting about the experience, obviously.

One viral post likened these stories to those of a “teenage girl trying to get a crush’s attention,” which, as a spiritually teenage girl who’s posted plenty of Instagram stories in the hopes of securing one specific person’s engagement, I can confirm. They have all the makings of a reply trap: the subtle status update, the supposedly casual setup, the unnecessarily intense eye contact with the camera. There’s someone (whose name may or may not rhyme with Smalex Smearle) whose notice Tom is bidding for!

But if I might offer some advice, Mr. Brady, kind sir: an IG Close Friends list is made for moments like these. It’s a select group of friends, lovers, and people you met at a bar one time with a great vibe—people you can trust force to indulge your minute-by-minute updates. I’d imagine this would be especially useful for someone with over 15 million followers, who might feel compelled to post a cheeky “what I’m up to” bid for attention, but might not want it to start an entire news cycle.

Just a friendly suggestion. Loved your Netflix roast.
