Tom Brady denies ESPN report he’s retiring from NFL after 22 seasons
MSN ^ | 01/29/2022

Tom Brady has finally retired. The 44-year-old quarterback plans to retire from the NFL after a 22-year career, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter and Jeff Darlington. Brady had consistently said he planned to play through his age-45 season, but there were rumblings this could be his final playoff run before the Tampa Bay Buccaneers faced the Los Angeles Rams in the Divisional Round of the 2022 playoffs. The Rams’ 30-27 victory is the last game Brady will play in his career.

Brady is now rebuking the report, and saying he hasn’t made his final decision yet.

Tom Brady contacted @Buccaneers GM Jason Licht and told him he has not yet made a final decision on retirement, disputing the ESPN report. Licht is respecting Brady's process and waiting for a definitive answer, whenever it comes, from the QB.

Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer emails Tom Brady:
“Tom, I know the sting of having your privately whispered plans unexpectedly screamed to the world by ‘friends’ before you’re ready to tell them yourself. Once said, there is almost no way to un-say those words. Good luck trying, though!”

Just in case, Biden is mulling a replacement for Brady. Prob a black female (just a guess).

Why does Brady have to decide now? Isn’t it up to him to determine when to make the decision?

I don’t want him to retire. It’s fun watching him and I’m curious how many more years he can go.

Maybe his financial planner told him he doesn’t have enough saved until he can start collecting his social security payment.

I wonder why people are so consumed with Brady retiring. A weather girl the other day proclaimed that, “At least we won’t have to watch Tom Brady in the Super bowl.” Why is it so offensive for some people that Brady still plays football?

He is white and he crushes everybody. That just isn't acceptable any more in Wokeland. :)

We’re always obsessed with the person at the top of their game retiring. Especially when they’re a bit cagey about it. Went through the same thing with Favre. And Western humor is built on dragging down the top, so it’s not that he’s offensive, it’s just basic Western humor. And really he’s been in a lot of freaking Super Bowls.

I don’t like Brady much either but it is pretty cool to see him blast records and be the undisputed GOAT in the most popular American sports.
