Quarterback Tom Brady’s retirement from the NFL lasted a little more than a month. The seven-time Super Bowl winner announced Sunday that he will continue playing and return to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for the 2022 season.


“These past two months I’ve realized my place is still on the field and not in the stands,” Brady wrote on Twitter. “That time will come. But it’s not now. I love my teammates, and I love my supportive family. They make it all possible. I’m coming back for my 23rd season in Tampa. Unfinished business LFG.”

1. ......

[Rebl2]

3. I second

that emoji

[calimary]

37. I third it.

Giselle isn’t gonna be too happy about this.

Sheesh - another guy like trump - just doesn’t know when to quit.

It’s not possible to be less interested in football than I am. All I see is organized brutality.

2. Good for him.

The league doesn’t seem right without Brady in it. And obviously he can still play at the highest level.

I almost feel bad for the guy who just bought his “final” touchdown ball for an obscene amount of money. Almost.

15. ZZZZZZzzzzz

[BlueIdaho]

4. Yawn...

[CurtEastPoint]

5. agree... hardly late breaking and belongs in sports or lounge

[left-of-center2012]

6. Who cares

[former9thward]

8. If you don't care why comment and kick the thread?

[left-of-center2012]

9. This isn't ...

Late breaking news of national interest.

[former9thward]

13. I guess you can complain to the Washington Post.

They think it is.

[Cozmo]

43. It's a statement of his boredom of this tired subject and frankly, I don't believe it belongs here.

[former9thward]

45. So ignore the thread.

Others may not care for the subjects in threads you like.

[Evolve Dammit]

7. Number one Drumpf supporter can just fade away on his FL island. Buh bye.

[Rebl2]

18. True

[Owl]

10. Yuck

[KS Toronado]

11. Did he discover that staying home with wife & kids all day

with millions in his bank account and no job wasn't his cup of tea?

[Rebl2]

20. Probably

[Pas-de-Calais]

12. Comment from the guy who,

Spent on $500K on his last td football,,,


“Ffffffffffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuccccccccccckkkkkkkkkkkk,,,,,,,,

That is all

[C Moon]

16. Oh man. Now it's worth nothing more than any other Brady touchdown football.

For that much money, you know that person is going to try to sue.
I wonder where that money went? Probably to tfg's campaign (just kidding).

[LudwigPastorius]

14. Some people just don't know when to call it a day.

Brady's had a handful of concussions in his career. Why doesn't he just enjoy his record-breaking achievements, hundreds of millions of dollars, and supermodel spouse, instead of feeding his ego?

When the drop off comes for athletes of Brady's age, it is usually precipitous. I wouldn't be surprised if this will be the season he shouldn't have come back for.

[C Moon]

17. Didn't his tight end retire, then rejoin when Brady went to Florida?

[LudwigPastorius]

28. Yes, Gronkowski stopped playing for a year.

The Patriots still held his rights, but (presumably) Brady talked Tampa Bay into making a trade to acquire him.

19. "We could try deflating the ball"

[KS Toronado]

26. I always respected Tom Brady's abilities until

he started hanging around and bragging about that fat guy he's with in your photo.

[EarthFirst]

21. The network offers didn't pan out?

[former9thward]

22. He can always do that.

He can't always play football.

[KS Toronado]

34. He didn't play that good of fQQtball last season.

He sure in the hell didn't go to the super bowl last year, nor will he go next year.
Good Lord above don't reward IQ4.5 lovers. Hell, he might even be rooting for Russia.

[former9thward]

38. What?

I doubt you watch football. Brady led the league in touchdown passes. I'll bet every other quarterback would like to not "play that good". No Super but a quarterback can't do all by himself. I keep politics out of entertainment and sports. If you want politics to rule your life in every respect that is your business.

23. I predicted the day he retired it would last about a month.

Spending time with the family he said. Like I said then, that sounds good but is not reality. His wife has her schedule. Kids that age have their friends, video games, social media. None of the family is going to change their schedule for him. He likely realized after 2 days that the family was not going to alter their schedule to fit extra time in with him. Going from the guy the sports media talks about to just another former athlete is not good for the ego either.

[vercetti2021]

24. What an attention seeker

He'd be perfect for TikTok. Many attention seekers there. He'd fit in

[Marcuse]

25. He will probably stay too long and end up like Willie Mays, Johnny Unitas, Joe Namath and many more

[Mike Nelson]

27. Hmm...

... seems like a case of Lucille Ball-itas. For many years, Lucy told CBS she was going to retire after the current TV season. Fortunately, CBS discovered a cure for Lucille Ball-itas.

[LogicFirst]

29. I just lost all respect for Brady.

[left-of-center2012]

33. I lost respect for him when he went golfing with Trump

And hung out at the White House a few times.

[ificandream]

31. Who cares about football? Baseball is back!! :)

[IronLionZion]

32. Dude isn't human

and decided that human life doesn't suit him.

[SunSeeker]

35. Must have spent a few days with his brood of small kids.

[BHDem53]

36. Deflating.

[jcgoldie]

40. I see what you did there!

[dchill]

41. Very, very, subversively good(!)

[Aristus]

39. "My current living expenses are HOW much?!?

Hmm......maybe one more season......"

[Cozmo]

42. Why do we have to read about this here? This guy plays football and is a trump toady, SO?

Did he make some contribution to humanity that I have never heard?

[former9thward]

44. No one requires you to read these threads.

[Snoopy 7]

46. so whaT

If you give a $h!t about this then you really need to get a life...

[former9thward]

47. Maybe you should tell that to the American public.

Far more are interested in the NFL than in party politics.

[bucolic_frolic]

48. Reinflatement

[GenThePerservering]

49. He's nuts

I don't care how protected he is when he plays (or how good) - at this stage of the game he's going to be playing on borrowed time. Instead of going out at the top of his game and covered with laurels (I speak purely of his sports career), he's gonna get a serious case of the dwindles, but he.can't.stop because nothing gives you that same high. Ali did the same thing.
