I sincerely hope he’s staying away but I seriously doubt it.
I was just about to post something similar.
He could have easily done this three weeks from now. But no, he does it during the lead up to the Super Bowl. I'm sure at this point the average fan doesn't give a shit, but his ballwashers in the media will all rush to assume the position. [Reply]

Even as a big Brady fan this is the best news for the Bucs championship aspirations. Why? The team lost tremendous talent after the 2021-2 season and it was only going to get worse since they are in cap hell. Now, they can rebuild and trade away a few veterans for picks. Or at least, they can have a reset year and solve a good portion of their cap woes while getting a high draft pick. [Reply]
The worst thing is though, is that even if he is actually retiring, it means we're still gonna have to see and hear his ugly, insufferable ass calling games as a broadcaster every damn week. [Reply]
