In a pretty unemotional statement, Tom Brady just announced his retirement. Brady said all the emotion was expended last year in his retirement which only lasted a short time. No statements on his future plans although Brady has a 10 year $375 million dollar contract to be an analyst with Fox.

Annual post.

Lost a bet that the Bears wouldn't trade #1 overall, so I "pony"'d up. Never been so happy to be so wrong. :D

I mean yeah, good for him, but once you un-retire, any subsequent retirement announcements all feel flimsy as hell.

Bug that's one additional established QB off the market.

Honestly I thought this one felt more concrete then the last one. But who really knows.

I think he's done .... and I appreciated the "I already did the emotional video once" take on it.

GOAT, no question.

Here's hoping Rodgers follows suit and the Packers get nothing.

I vote for this scenario.

I think the issues went much deeper than him playing football again.

All I care about is that this removes a FA QB from the list for QB needy teams, and at the same time creates a new QB needy team. Win win!

Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead.

Are you talking about Bündchen or Brady?
