Tom Brady is officially retiring from the NFL, “for good” this time, and now he gets to focus on what’s next.
That will include joining FOX Sports as a lead analyst at some point — Super Bowl 57, perhaps?? — but first, he’s got a big movie coming out that’s all about him: 80 For Brady, in which Brady will appear alongside Lily Tomlin, Jane Fonda, Rita Moreno and Sally Field. It’s the story of a group of Brady fans who travel to watch the GOAT play in a Super Bowl.
It premieres later this week, so everyone’s a little nervous this is some kind of marketing ploy:
So many tweets
This is just viral marketing for 80 For Brady with his unretirement announcement to come during an ad on Super Bowl Sunday. You almost got me, Tom. https://t.co/lDLqwh5lVo

Tom Brady already has my undying respect but if he really timed a retirement announcement around 80 for Brady opening weekend he is truly my hero

The odds that Brady comes out of retirement during a scene in the “80 For Brady” movie are about 100%
