Tom Brady’s NFL career is over. Again. And this time it sure feels like it’s for good.
Brady, the winner of seven Super Bowls and the owner of a million NFL records, announced his retirement Tuesday morning in a short, and emotional, video that saw him sitting on the beach will saying, “I think you only get one super emotional retirement essay and I used mine up last year.”
And with that, the GOAT is done with playing professional football and on to… maybe working for Fox Sports sometime soon?
The NFL world paid tributes to Brady right after his announcement.

Greatest of All Time.
No question, no debate.
It’s been an honor and a privilege.
