Tom Brady is retiring—again. But this time he says it’s “for good.

Tom Brady’s retirement announcement was met with the expected bouquets, but also some doubt after he un-retired once before.

The legendary quarterback announced his decision early Wednesday morning.
Tom Brady announced his retirement on Wednesday morning, the second consecutive year that he’s made that massive announcement on Feb. 1. This time, he says, it is “for good.”
The decision comes after months of speculation about his future. With the Buccaneers limping out to an 8–9 record and a wild-card round flameout in the playoffs, there were ample rumors about whether he’d look to move to a third franchise, like his childhood team the 49ers or his former offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels’s Raiders.

Like most, Monty McCutchen, the NBA’s senior vice president of referee development and training, was distressed by the missed call late in the fourth quarter of Saturday’s Lakers-Celtics matchup.

Sports stars from across the league chimed in and reacted to the news.
The biggest story of the offseason may have come early on Wednesday when Tom Brady shocked the sports world with news of his retirement. The seven-time Super Bowl champion decided to switch things up from last year’s retirement announcement and posted a video that was less than a minute long on Twitter. 
“Good morning guys, I’ll get to the point right away: I’m retiring. For good,” Brady said.

SI Sportsbook is expecting a close game with the Eagles favored by only 1.5 points and the game total is set at 49.5.
The Eagles are a run-first team, averaging 146.8 ground yards per game during the regular season, which ranked fifth in the NFL. Last week in their 31-7 blowout of the 49ers, every touchdown was on the ground – including one from quarterback Jalen Hurts.

The comebacks, the records, the rings. Tom Brady’s career, as unlikely as it seemed as the 199th pick in the 2000 NFL draft, is unlike anything we’ll ever see again.
