Tom Brady is retiring from the NFL — and he made it very clear he’s serious this time.
For the second straight year, seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady has announced his retirement from the National Football League, and according to Brady, he means it this go-around.
“I’m retiring. For good. I know the process was a pretty big deal last time, so when I woke up this morning I figured I’d just press record and let you guys know first,” Brady said in a Feb. 1 video posted on Twitter.
“Thank you guys so much for every single one of you supporting me … Thank you guys for allowing me to live my absolute dream.”
Truly grateful on this day. Thank you 🙏🏻❤️ pic.twitter.com/j2s2sezvSS

This is truly sad news for me, and for two reasons: 1. Tom Brady is now officially gone from the National Football League and we will never be able to witness his greatness again, and 2. I could have sworn that he was coming back for another season to play for my Miami Dolphins.
I was so devastatingly wrong, and quite frankly, it sucks. (RELATED: REPORT: Tom Brady Lost 15 Pounds Throughout NFL Season)
But regardless, congratulations to Tom Brady on one hell of a career! You are most certainly the G.O.A.T.!
