He's retired

[ureout]

Just heard on the news that Tom Brady has retired

[Henryk]

Wow!

[schwarz]

Wow!
We were privileged to watch him play.

[Michael G.]

I'm going to miss his helmet throwing skills

[Laker14]

He better not try to move into my neighborhood with those small children. He won't be welcome here.

[Tvflguy]

Good for him. He deserves the very best for his family. Wonder when the Brady-slams will start here. Hope he gets the MVP as he surely deserves that.

And, he’d better hurry to get his new home in The Villages the way prices are increasing.

[Two Bills]

The Gronk will call it a day now as well I expect.
Not enough time left to train another QB!

[Laker14]

I wonder if there is any chance of Aaron Rodgers winding up in Tampa Bay.

[rustyp]

No GOAT - No Gronk

Tampa Bay next year 7 and 10

[EdFNJ]

I'm going to miss his helmet throwing skills I guess he became "deflated" after his last loss.

[Chi-Town]

Brady was a consistent winner like no other. I can appreciate that coming from a city that hasn't had anyone remotely close for as long as I can remember.

[Michael G.]

Not enough time left to train another QB!

Maybe Aaron Rodgers will replace him

[Rainger99]

Brady has denied the rumor. At least for now.

[ureout]

and now they say he hasn't retired...lol

Perhaps he wants to spend more time on his new yacht. Tom Brady Purchases Insane 77-Foot Yacht Worth $6 Million - YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0MMTK1qHyVU)

Wonder why such a small one he could afford a bigger one

My guess is he wanted something sleek and fast he could drive or pilot himself rather than depend upon a professional. Two can crew it. Somebody has to keep the boat clean and serviced, prepare and serve meals, do the dishes and so on. It looks ideal for the gulf to me.

I remember most of the yachts I saw moored in Monaco had crews of about five. Not much privacy.

If your going a distance say to the S Caribbean think you would need someone to stand watch in the middle of the night. Wonder if Giselle would do it?

[Nucky]

I just read on the net that if he stays with them until next Friday he will get another 15 million in pay? True? False? Who cares.

Everybody is expecting tomorrow to be as exciting as last weekend football-wise. I don't think that the last game will be topped for a long time.

Tom Brady has had his day. He mentioned his children and the fact that his wife has been handling them for all these years. There was the clue that he is going to retire.

He got greedy going for one last Super Bowl. I wish him luck.

Go out to your garage and check the air pressure in the tires of your golf cart now that it’s below freezing out. Guess what, they will be partially deflated. The inconvenient truth Brady haters choose to ignore.

[RICH1]

I like the way you think , but I’ve heard Denver for quite sometime now! Aaron does like Portillos

Stand watch or swim your choice :boom:

Come on man

[donassaid]

Very funny. Another Brady hater no doubt.

[bowlingal]

this rumor is not true, at least not yet. Tom Brady has not made up his mind yet.

[La lamy]

What an athlete. Love the way he kept himself in super shape to have such a long career.
:bigbow:

[Rwirish]

Just heard on the news he may not be retiring.

[HeleneGB]

I hope not. He has no morals. Dont want him in Florida.

[thevillages2013]

I hope not. He has no morals. Dont want him in Florida.

Who? It helps when you include a quote from the post you are responding to if the response target is not obvious

[Bay Kid]

Grandma always said if you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all.

[MDOYLE]

Just heard on the news that Tom Brady has retired

I've followed him from day 1. A true gentleman and an outstanding quarterback. Football will never be the same for me.

[NoMo50]

Prediction: Brady will sign a one-day contract with the Patriots during the off-season, and retire as a Pat.

[dewilson58]

Not very high on my Care List. :shrug:

[xcaligirl]

i'm going to miss his helmet throwing skills
lol!!!

[xcaligirl]

not very high on my care list. :shrug:
ditto!!

[Regorp]

Just heard on the news that Tom Brady has retired

Not official until an actual news conference is held and he has 1 year left on his contract. Still the best QB in football.

[MrFlorida]

On the news last night, it was a maybe....

[montagnard1969]

Another multi-millionaire "sports god" retires. Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn!

[tophcfa]

News report, if TB12 officially announced retirement before February 4th, he looses $15 million in signing bonus money.

[daca55]

I think you are right! They are going to retire his number and give him the send off he deserves. We were fortunate to have been able to watch and witness the greatest QB to play the game. I doubt we will see another like him for a long long time! Thanks Tom for all the memories.

A Pats Fan

Isn’t it usually all about the money? Just read Tom Brady net worth 250 million and wife 400 million. Yeah, he needs 15 million more…

[Tvflguy]

Big TB12 fan here. If he does make that decision (sad). Wouldn’t it be something if Aaron Rodgers does what Tom did, and come down to TampaBay???

[JMintzer]

You'd leave that on the table, rather than wait another week to make an announcement?

[ThirdOfFive]

Just heard on the news that Tom Brady has retired
A shame. Tom Brady has been a class act and consummate professional the whole way, which is more than I can say for his former coach Belichek.

I was hoping for a Brady vs. Rogers conference championship game. Sadly, it was not to be. THAT would have been worth watching.

[davem4616]

Now they're saying that it was fake news....that he hasn't made a decision to retire...and it's been retracted

TB12 apparently spoke with the Buccaneers and told them that he hadn't made up his mind, but will so shortly

my guess is that he'll choose to spend more time with his young family

it was a thrill to watch this guy play...especially when he was down with 2 minutes left and drove it down the field for a tie or a win

and now we have a new breed of exciting QB's to watch

[davem4616]

exactly

laughing at all these armchair QB's taking shots at TB12....just green with envy that he didn't play for their team

he was the last one drafted, they all had an opportunity to pick him up

[OhioBuckeye]

Why is he a big deal, he’s just another football player & that’s it. He’s nothing special. They’ll be just as good of football players coming up. Most people in TV are retired, yea they might not of made 30 million a yr. but that makes nobody any more special than anyone else. All retirees are special to someone! At least most retirees made it to 70 yrs. old that’s something special. Let’s see how old he gets before he dies, then we’ll see how his 100’s of millions helps him. He’s just another man!

[tedquick]

News report, if TB12 officially announced retirement before February 4th, he looses $15 million in signing bonus money.

That is also my understanding. I'm only guessing that the decision has probably been made but the official announcement will be forthcoming sometime after the 4th.

[heron848]

Just heard on the news that Tom Brady has retired


Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers and Ben Roethlisberger walk into a bar....

To watch the Bengals play in the SuperBowl.

Who Dey!

[Regorp]

Not yet official.

[MrFlorida]

He'll wait until after Feb 4th, so he can get his 15 million signing bonus. Think about that when you ogle these guys.

[1948JDG]

Gronk goes to the Buffalo Bills?????????? He was born and raised not far from there (Lockport, NY)

[ML Smith]

Just heard on the news that Tom Brady has retired

That is news to him. He hasn’t made the decision yet.

[bagboy]

That is news to him. He hasn’t made the decision yet.

Just so you know

NFL: Tom Brady officially retires after 22 seasons (https://sports.yahoo.com/tom-brady-officially-announces-retirement-from-nfl-after-22-seasons-144321164.html)

[Joe V.]

He'll wait until after Feb 4th, so he can get his 15 million signing bonus. Think about that when you ogle these guys.

So, he didn't. What say you now?

Yep.

And Michael Jordan was just another basketball player, and Albert Einstein was just another professor, and...

In his 20 year career Tom Brady appeared in no fewer than TEN Super Bowls, winning seven of them. No single NFL team has won more than six. No other Quarterback has won more than four Super Bowls, and the ones who did were Joe Montana and Terry Bradshaw, each with four Super Bowl wins.

A stellar supporting cast can maybe steer a quarterback who is a bit better than average to a Super Bowl win. Maybe two. But seven? Not bad for "just another football player", hey?

[Michael G.]

Football will never be the same for me.

Then you don't like football

[Michael G.]

So, he didn't. What say you now?

Officially on paper its February 4th for the bonus

[rustyp]

So, he didn't. What say you now?

Goodbye.
Next year Tampa Bay 7 and 10.

[dewilson58]

retired today, new team later this year.
