This one's for The GOAT!

It's amazing how many people think Brady has some sort of ego of wanting to go-out-early-and-on-top that trumps his love for playing football.

The man is going to play until he can't play anymore.

After the loss to the Gints in SB42, I disappeared for a few hours. I just left the house. I don't even think I wore shoes. I didn't know where I was going and didn't care. I just kept going. Man, I was so hurt.

This was me after the ALCS in '03.

After SB 42, I don't even remember anything. I couldn't watch or read anything related to sports at all until mid August.

A week? My family may have to file a missing persons because I'm disappearing for at least a month.

First of all, I say in my post that I feel he ultimately continues playing and that I'm more or less just feeling uneasy because there is so much recent speculation and the fact that he's acting and speaking in a way that I don't think we're quite seen before. Secondly, you act as though athletes have never said one thing and done another. That happens all the time. But I'm sure your response will be Brady is different. So be it. But I see nowhere in my original post where I say I think he will retire... just that it wouldn't surprise me as much as before considering singe of the things we're finding out. A sickness or death in the family can make people switch up things in life. I'm being Brady is no exception.

To be clear, I ULTIMATELY THINK BRADY RETURNS. One more time, I ULTIMATELY THINK BRADY RETURNS. But also to be clear, I don't know him personally and neither do you, I'm betting.

So why make the post speculating he might not be back?
