EDIT: Timeline below.
1. Darlington & Schefter report Brady is retiring.

3. Toms teammates tweet about his retirement.
4. Tom’s agent, dad, Arians, and Licht all say Tom hasn’t decided yet.
5. Ian Rappaport says many sources confirm Tom plans to retire but the pushback is due to timing.
6. Tom announces retirement again in 2023. [Reply]

What did he do when he "should have" retired but went to Indy for some reason?
The question was "What man chooses football over his kids?"
And the obvious answer is anyone with kids who chooses the life of a professional football player. No matter what you do, you're pretty busy for 6 months, although it's a pretty reasonable schedule compared to pro baseball and basketball players.
Nobody cares about this if it wasn't Tom Brady.
Imagine if Brittany Mahomes told Pat that they already have plenty of money for a few lifetimes she wants him home now for their kids.

Phillip Rivers was clearly finding the time to make his wife happy, if you know what I mean. [Reply]
Honestly, kind of a shitty person move by Tom. No defending it.
Gisele stepped away from modeling last year when she was getting top billing and it was obviously agreed that Tom would retire so they can focus on what’s important…their family.
The way Tom ripped up that agreement with his wife and family to extend his records and further his legacy in the NFL was/is a stain on a stained career filled with ***s.

The gossipy BS on here is ridiculous and cringey.
I wasn't the one that was speculating. I was responding to someone who said it. [Reply]

He's going to follow the Leo DiCaprio playbook. Find a 22 year old model. Dump her by the time she's 28 and start over with another 22 year old. [Reply]
