By now just about everyone has weighed in on Tom Brady’s retirement from the NFL. With Brady going out on top after 22 years of utter domination, he’s rightfully being crowned as the Greatest of All Time. No quarterback has accomplished even close to what Brady has on an NFL field, and the longevity of his career only adds to what was already an impressive resumé. Well, with practically the entire world wishing him well as he embarks into retirement, the world was treated with one of the strangest Brady tributes yet, courtesy of Kevin Bacon and his farm animals.

There’s truly a lot to unpack here, but can we start off by saying that this may be the best Brady tribute song to hit the internet. Kevin Bacon sitting in his farm surrounded by a handful of cute goats, paying homage to the GOAT is metaphorically deep on levels the internet may not have been ready for. Yet, the actor gave us this beautiful salute to Brady’s greatness, sampling a Tom Jones song.
We’re hoping Brady catches wind of this tribute and gives Bacon a response on social media, because if anyone has earned a shoutout from the GOAT, it’s Bacon and his goats.
Sorry, Rob Gronkowski, but you’ve just been one-upped in terms of Tom Brady appreciation Tik Tok posts, and it’ll be hard to reclaim the throne after a magical performance like that from Bacon.
