Thomas Edward Patrick Brady Jr. is back. The quarterback, who lead the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to victory in 2020, took a U-turn and said that he would be back for the 23rd NFL season. About two months ago, he said that he was retiring from the game to spend time with his family which includes wife Gisele Bundchen and their three children.
The seven-time Super Bowl champion had retired less than two months ago. He announced rejoining the team both on Twitter and Instagram. He had recently met Cristiano Ronaldo and the Manchester United team on Saturday, at Old Trafford, Manchester, England. He also met the Glazer family who own both the clubs. Fans speculated that Ronaldo influenced his decision to return to football.
Tom Brady said that he had realized that his place was “still on the field” and not in the stands, in the past two months. He also said that his retirement time would come “but it’s not now.” He expressed his love for his teammates and supportive family as they made it possible.
He also said, “I’m coming back for my 23rd season in Tampa” as he had “unfinished business.”
Tom Brady retired from the game on February 1. These past 40 days have seemed like two months to him. But that’s not important as the NFL will be better with him playing and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are ecstatic to have their quarterback, back where he belongs, in the team.
Although some followers roasted him on social media with comments almost similar to the roasts on Saturday Night Live (SNL) roasts, the team and many fans are happy to have him back.
The GOAT (greatest of all times) has won a record breaking seven Super Bowl titles. The football legend has been on the field for 22 seasons. He is back with the Bucs whom he lead to a Super Bowl victory in 2020 and the NFC South championship, last season.
He was earlier with the New England Patriots, with whom he shares six Super Bowl victories.
Thanks to @ManUtd and the Glazer family for hosting me and my boys yesterday. So lucky to be able to share experiences like this with them. pic.twitter.com/GDofXNZpfW
