There’s a report out saying Tom Brady is retiring
twentyfive
Living well and enjoying my retirement
I kinda thought he looked like he had enough that last game where he lost, he’s been a great player a terrific person and he owes nothing to anyone, glad I had the opportunity to see him play.
Good luck with whatever comes next.

It's great to see a player of his caliber make the decision to go out on his terms while he is still at the top of his game.
I hope he stays retired rather than coming back after a year or two Brett Farve style. He has absolutely nothing left to achieve at this pointn
If he wants to continue to with football hopefully he goes into coaching or front office eork because I don't think he has the personality to go into broadcasting. Of course with his net worth he could also buy a team if he chooses to.
He's talked at length about wanting to play to 45, even 50. He's still a top 3 QB.
It could be true, but I want to hear it from him, not rumormongers looking for a "hot take."
Don’t think this would have been published unless there’s a legit confirmation
I don't see him as a coach. I don't really see him in the broadcast booth either. But he really doesn't need to DO anything at this point.
In the social media age, it seems that every reporter, even the good ones, want to scoop everyone else. It's more about the scoop than having a verified story.
As has been posted, the season ended badly, and the Bucs will have personnel issues going forward - also Bruce Arians is turning 70 and he gad previously retired bc of health issues; I wouldn't be surprised if Arians also called it quirs given what may be a Bucs rebuild.
All this is shaping up for it to be the right time for Brady to pull-the-plug.
Pre-Covid I would sometimes listen to a Monday-Night-Football pregame radio-show where Brady would have a cameo (over the phone) b/f evey MNF game l where he'd give his thought on the upcoming MNF game (he dud this every week) - I took that as him maybe preparing himself for a future broadcasting career but who knows.
I asked that same question last year when in his 1st year with his new team (Go Bucs!!), he led the Bucs to 3 playoff wins on the road, culminating with his 7th Super Bowl win (not to mention another SB MVP award in the 1st ever home Super Bowl game won by the home team playing in their home stadium).
Maybe the answer is to retire on his terms while he's still at the top of his game. If this rumor turns out to be true, look for rickdugan to post some Tom Brady accolades with emphasis on his NE Patriots tenure years.
He is probably pissed that this broke because he said he didn't want his status to be a distraction from the teams still in the hunt. Who knows, maybe he will play one more year just to spite the people who are reporting this. He likes to do things on his terms.
You betcha. Brady gave us 20 years of championship football, including a dynastic run that has never been duplicated. For 20 years we started every single season believing that we could win it all. All the more impressive is that he did it in the salary cap era, when a sustained run of this duration was not supposed to be possible.
For Pats fans in their late teens and 20s they've known nothing else but hope and success from the first time they had long-term memory until Brady recently left. Just imagine that. Now I was already well along when the Pats finally won their first SB so i remember all those shitty years of Grogan, Flutie, Eason, Millen, Bledsoe et al. But for younger Pats fans it's undoubtedly a hard adjustment.
Someone on the radio mentioned that Brady likely doesn't wanna take away attention from the remainder of the post-season and why he's mostly keeping quiet.

The drama was created by these Reporters that want to make themselves look important by BREAKING news first.
Scoops are measured in minutes, sometimes seconds. That is literally the main focus of their job, to be first and be accurate. They were first and they were accurate. Their motive was as Brady himself would say Do Your Job.
Naw, he didn't even change it to Brady in a Buccaneers uniform.😉😂
