Legendary quarterback Tom Brady is leaving football for good. As an impartial observer of the sport, I say good job on an epic career. As a Dallas fan, I say good RIDDANCE and don’t let the door hit ya!! 😀
ESPN broke the news on Saturday, which has not yet definitively been confirmed by Brady or his agent, but which they aren’t disputing at all, that after 22 seasons and seven Super Bowl rings the all-time star is hanging up the partially inflated balls and headed off to the land of full-time endorsements. I mean his agent may say nobody knows his plans, but endorsement are going to be part of it, no matter what.
Everyone is tweeting remembrances. I would share the Parler and Gettr ones, but they STILL aren’t embeddable. Here’s just three examples, but after Brady’s agent said hold the phone, the tributes slowed down.

Six QBs were drafted before Tom Brady in the 2000 NFL draft:
• Chad Pennington
• Giovanni Carmazzi
• Chris Redman
• Tee Martin
• Marc Bulger
• Spergon WynnBrady had his resume ready.
But those 6 QBs won 4 playoff games & Brady went on to win 7 Super Bowls.
Greatness 🙏 pic.twitter.com/RY8NdC1hOb

Here’s the question on my mind:
How long after Tom Brady retires will he show up on a golf course hanging out with Trump? 2 weeks?

And also, GO ON JOE ROGAN’S SHOW EVERY DAY FOR A WEEK, TOM. SHOW THE WORLD WHAT’S WHAT.
Anyway, GO COWBOYS!!
UPDATES: Brady’s dad is MAD.
Checked in with Tom Brady Sr. who tells me, and I quote, "This story Mike is total conjecture. Tommy has not made a final decision one way or the other and anybody else that says that he has is absolutely wrong." #TomBrady #Buccaneers

And Tommy Boy called the home office.
Tom Brady called the Bucs late this afternoon to inform them he's not even close to making a decision about retirement, according to a source.

Seems pretty obvious they want to regain control of the situation and the news, what with Brady going out of town for the next week. But ESPN and the other sports networks weren’t just playing the guessing game here. If you ask me someone with Tom’s talent agency got loose lips and now it’s a PR cluster they’re trying to fix.
We’ll see. But saying “We didn’t say that yet” isn’t saying “he’s not retiring.”
Consider this an OPEN THREAD.
