Tom Brady, whose life was made difficult by the Sheriff himself throughout this past football season, went on Facebook to thank the Sheriff for the legacy he left on the game which they both love. 

"Congratulations Peyton, on an incredible career. You changed the game forever and made everyone around you better," wrote Brady. "It's been an honor." 

He also shared this image along with the message:

Congratulations Peyton, on an incredible career. You changed the game forever and made everyone around you better. It's been an honor.
