Brady Retiring

Can't wait to see him in a Niners uniform in the fall!

Feels like the end of an era. I know Rodgers is still around and is somewhat a part of this group, but the era of Brady, Brees, Manning, and Rothlisberger was truly a great one. Maybe the best in the sport’s history. 

The page has officially turned, and it seems like the torch has now officially been passed to Mahomes, Burrow, Allen and Jackson to lead the new generation. 

Thanks for the memories, Brady. Going to be a long time before anyone can put seven Super Bowl rings on their fingers. I hope no one else ever will. 

GOAT GONE for GOOD.  Seriously, who doesn't have a little premature finish now and then?

Enjoy the next chapter, GOAT!!

Incredible. 

I have to man-crush for a moment. 

TB has his flaws, he's human. 

However, to see somebody find a way to win so consistently, get the best out of others without being an amazing physical specimen in such a brutal sport, gave hope to any athlete. 

You CAN be a champion.

He defined the phrase "Let's Go!" 

Come home to Michigan Football Tom, we luv you man. 

Go Blue! 

PS - how great is it that the best defensive player (Woodson) and offensive player (Brady) ever are both from Michigan Football ? 

Hope it sticks this time.  He's had a fantastic career and it's probably time to move on to the next step.

During the dark times, Tom Brady and Charles Woodson kept Michigan Football’s tradition of excellence alive through their play in the NFL. I’ve never felt more pride in the Maize and Blue than I did when Tom came back after all the Super Bowls and MVPs and talked so passionately to our team about how much it meant to him to be the quarterback at the University of Michigan and how much work it took to get there. Go Blue forever. 

Just an aside, I’m wonder if weather was ever a problem with those late season games in New England.  Does anyone know?   Thanks…

Tom has been vocal many times about his goal to play until he was 45. He achieved it.

Although I wish his marriage would have survived; I am under the impression more conflicts existed than just him wanting to play longer.

Bold. It’s hard to retire at such a young age. I hope he was financially responsible.

Tom Brady, Marlin fisherman?

Go Blue. Good luck, (not so) Old Blue.

He's lying

I bet he feels deflated.

Hope you enjoyed trading your family for that last craptastic year.

Congratulations to the GOAT on this decision and magnificent football career.  Wishing him the best and every continued success always.

Man, what a career he has had.

When he played here, I thought he might be a 3rd rounder (especially in his performance versus Bama in the bowl game), but really thought he'd be more of a career back up...with some spot duty and even some good runs.

Never thought he'd be the Goat though...

I think Drew Henson retired better.

Until next spring 

Does his deal with FOX start immediately? I could imagine him retiring, calling the Super Bowl, then unretiring and winning it next year with the 49ers.
