So far Brady has retired one less time than Michael Jordan.

He didn’t want to upstage the Conference Championship Games, but somebody blabbed.

It leaked early. Some think he was holding off because of the terms of his contract (02/04/22 is a key date), but it was going to be a headache until he said something. Someone in his inner circle did him no favors.

“Thank you Gisele Ono!”

Have you looked at Gisele and Yoko Ono?!

He had incentives in his contract if he waited until today. Something like millions of dollars.

But, by retiring today, he foregoes his guaranteed money for 2022—which he would have gotten if he waited a couple of weeks.

So, it was a smart business move on his part—and a positive gesture to the Bucs.

Now I bet we hear from Gronk in the next couple of days.

Brady never did high stakes golf gambling. He also couldn't plausibly play baseball.

LOL, it was a reflection on the dynamics of it, given how she was reportedly badgering him to retire!

Gisele and Tom’s worth is estimated at $630 million.

I think he was drafted for MLB out of high school. I guess he was a catcher...with a pretty good arm. But I might be wrong.

I cannot believe that Giselle has tolerated a husband, who at age 44 needs to spend time away from his family to work. Can you imagine such a horror?
She is indeed Giselle Ono.
