Seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady announced he’s retiring “for good” in a video posted to Twitter.

Howard University coach Nic Askew isn’t just building a strong program; he’s building something bigger.
Inside the Howard University pool, a couple dozen blocks from the U.S. Capitol, bouncy hip-hop blasts across six lanes of open water as hundreds of people begin to filter through the metal doors where they will witness a singular sight in college sports: an entirely Black swim team.
It’s an overcast October afternoon in Washington, D.C., and Howard is an hour from facing its cross-district rival, Georgetown, in the Bison home opener.

Tom Brady apparently has one more surprise up his sleeve.
The veteran quarterback announced on social media Wednesday morning that he was indeed retiring from the NFL. The move comes as somewhat of a surprise, as speculation grew over the past few days that Brady might finish his career out west, either with the Las Vegas Raiders, or the San Francisco 49ers, the team he grew up rooting for as a child.
Instead, Brady is retiring, again.

LeBron James moved within 89 points of breaking the NBA’s career scoring record and climbed into fourth place on the assists list, finishing with a triple-double in his return to Madison Square Garden as the Lakers won in overtime.

“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.

Tom Brady shared a video on Wednesday announcing his retirement for the second time. It comes one year to the day after his last retirement.

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.
