A piece of sandy beach, a bit of coastal grass and a building complex in the background. This scenario is currently familiar to all NFL fans. This is where Tom Brady recently announced the end of his career. Now that place, with a bottle of the sand in the foreground, pops up again – in an Ebay auction.
A user seemed to have had a flash of inspiration and traveled to the beach in Tampa Bay, where he filled a bottle of sand at the scene and put it up for auction on the auction platform.
This auction runs until the Super Bowl, which quickly took on a completely insane proportion. It started with $15,000, but the auction quickly took on a life of its own. A week before the Superbowl, the highest bid was almost $100,000 (almost 92,000 euros).

Brady is ending his NFL career for the second time
In any case, the potential buyer seems certain that the legendary quarterback will finally draw a line this time. Brady had already announced the end of his career a year ago and dared to resign just over a month later.
This time, however, and as Brady himself said in his emotional farewell video, it should be a farewell “forever”. Whether a glass of sand is worth $100,000 is another piece of paper.
Brady himself should not suffer from boredom or lack of money after the end of his career. The seven-time Superbowl champion is currently promoting his film “80 for Brady”.
The former quarterback will start his new job at Fox Sports for the new season. There, Gisele Bundchen’s ex-husband signed a ten-year contract last summer, which will bring him $ 375 million (almost 350 million euros). With that he could afford a few glasses of sand.
