Tom Brady, 40 days after retiring, says he's returning to Tampa to play 23rd season in NFL

Tom retired...until he had time to see how much his taxes increased, the highest gas prices in history 40 year record inflation that takes away 1 month pay per year.

Then he thought might be ok to work another year and ride team transportation a little longer. just in case.

Welcome back, GOAT!

Just a few days ago, someone bought the last football he scored a touchdown with for $500,000 USD at an auction. That was a quick total loss.

lol the guy with the beard at the front of the photo is Lee Mack, a well-known comedian in the UK. He probably thinks he's having his pic taken and has no idea who's behind him. Tom Brady is one of the all-time greats, but I doubt if there's many British people who have any idea who he is. I wonder if Brady was inspired by Ronaldo, another veteran, scoring a hat-trick for Man U on that day.

While watching Ronaldo performing magically for United, scoring 3 goals at 37 + years of age, Brady thought I might as well also keep going at least for another season since age isn’t a issue anymore…lol !

Manchester United (Ronaldo's team) and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (Tom Brady's team) have the same owner

Heh, his supermodel wife is worth more than him!

How do ya think he can afford to be paid less than other QBs? Lol

They did talk after the game

Ronaldo can first be heard saying, "All good?" To which Brady responds, "Doing great." Then Ronaldo asks, "You're finished, right?" And Brady winces while smiling, before replying again. His words aren't definitively clear, but he appears to mouth, "Probably."
