“I’ll get to the point right away. I’m retiring for good,” Brady announced to his social media followers and NFL fans.
He further explained, “I really thank you guys so much. To every single one of you for supporting me … Thank you for allowing me to live my absolute dream. I wouldn’t change a thing.

The 45-year-old walks away from the sport after initially making the decision last year.
For the second year in a row, legendary quarterback Tom Brady has announced his retirement. A year to the day of last year’s retirement announcement, which he changed course on just weeks later, he says the decision is final.
“I’m retiring. For good. I know the process was a pretty big deal last time, so when I woke up this morning I figured I’d just press record and let you guys know first,” Brady said in a video published to Twitter on Wednesday morning.
“I won’t be long winded.

Urban Meyer doesn’t want to ever coach again.
The legendary Ohio State coach didn’t even last a full season with the Jacksonville Jaguars before being fired, and his tenure with the franchise was nothing short of a complete disaster.
While a return to the NFL will never happen, his name has been tossed around for several college jobs. Most notably, Nebraska fans made it clear they wanted Urban in Lincoln. It didn’t happen, but the hype was there.
Now, the three-time national champion has revealed he won’t be picking up a whistle again.

Phil Mickelson is making his season debut this week in the Saudi International and will be doing so many pounds lighter. It seems as if Mickelson followed the same regiment Tom Brady did last year that caused him to develop a completely new face.
Mickelson recently spoke with Bob Harig of Sports Illustrated and revealed that he’s down to his “college weight” after losing 20 pounds during the offseason.
Photos ahead of this week’s event in Saudi prove Mickelson isn’t lying, it looks like he’s lost 20 pounds in his face alone.

The new manager of the Hillsboro Hops, the High A affiliate for the Diamondbacks, is paving a path for women in the game.
Ronnie Gajownik, fresh off a season coaching in Double A and the Arizona Fall League, and one of only 11 women coaches in pro baseball, was cleaning her blinds one day in October when the phone rang. It was Josh Barfield, the Diamondbacks’ farm director.
After exchanging greetings, Barfield told her, “We want to talk to you about next season. So, we’d like you to be in Hillsboro … wait. Hold on. I’m getting another call.”
What seemed an eternity passed.

MOBILE, Alabama – Joe Burrow always dreamed of playing in the Senior Bowl.
Even though he won the Heisman Trophy in 2019 and was the consensus, presumptive No. 1 pick for months before the 2020 NFL Draft, he considered coming to the premier college all-star game until the final week before reporting day.
On Monday, Jan. 13, LSU and Joe Burrow beat Clemson for the national championship. On the next Friday, the Tigers visited the White House. On Saturday, there was the national title parade in Baton Rouge. On Sunday, players reported to Mobile for the Senior Bowl.

Trade rumors involving Aaron Rodgers are being tied to Nathaniel Hackett yet again, and this time around the veteran QB isn’t exactly suppressing them.
After Hackett took the head coaching job with the Denver Broncos last offseason many believed Rodgers would follow him. Now, after a failed stint in Denver, Hackett has been hired as the offensive coordinator for the New York Jets, one of the teams that are reportedly looking to lure Rodgers out of Green Bay this offseason.
