We've heard this song before. Is this Groundhog Day?

My big question is is this a publicity ploy for that new film?



I’m so over this man and have been for a very long time. He made his bed and has to lie in it now.

Especially since it was this same date he announced last year. Can’t let Mahomes & Hurts have all the attention….

Well at least this time his wife won't object...........LOL. Didn't he get some HUGE contract with one of the sports networks to do announcing? Or will have more time to hype some other crypto currency thing. Seems a lot of pro athletes think they can keep being successful when in reality they are past their prime playing days.

I wouldn't even take him back in my fantasy football league. And guess what, homesplice? I don't even play fantasy football.

Brady, I know you read this board, so hear this. You can't hold a candle to Rosey Grier, needlepoint champion:

Yawn. No interest in what the attention hound has to announce.

 

[Dan Murphy]

I see him as a simple and pure attention *****.

 

[PollyannaMom]

So, he sacrificed his marriage/family life to "un-retire" and now he's already retiring again?

I was never a fan to begin with, but goodness, what a mess.

Part of why I have never used 'social media'. Mostly attention seeking individuals with big egos. Don't really care what they do, who they are with or where they go.

I don't dislike him, but I hope it is actually for real this time. But, is he going to pull a Brett Favre? Time will tell.

 

[AvidDisReader]

I have watched him play for the 23 years he has been in the NFL. He looked done this past season. I would be shocked if he changes his mind this time (and almost nothing shocks me anymore).

In this case, people have been hounding him since the season ended asking if he was retiring and I think he's ready for that to stop.

He now needs to join our "What age did you Retire" thread.

 

[superme80]

His butt needs to go! I will not miss him!

 

[soccerdad72]

It'll be bigger news if the story is still the same in July/August

 

[Goofydiane]

What's the over/under on when he decides to unretire and return to playing?

 

[Kennywood]

His career has certainly....deflated.

 

[mylilnikita]

Instead of GOAT he should be called flip flop lol.

Problem is, he has a lucrative contract to be a football analyst for Fox Sports, so he'll be around for several more years, like Tony Romo and the Manning bros, not to mention Terry Bradshaw. shudder.
