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. “I know the process was a pretty big deal last time, so when I woke up this morning I’d figured I’d just press record and let you guys know first.”
