Despite being close friends with Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez, and is filled with praises for Aaron Judge, being brought up in Boston, Tom Brady supports the Yankees’ greatest rivals, the Boston Red Sox. The 45-year-old NFL legend, in 2015, after winning his fourth NFL Championship, posed with another major Yankee rival flaunting their glorious trophies.
Notably, the New England Patriots won the Super Bowl in 2014. Just one year before that, David Ortiz, with the Boston Red Sox, won his third World Series ring. Back in 2015, the two superstars from NFL and MLB respectively reunited to flaunt two of the most prized jewels in American sports.

Tom Brady retires. Again…
In February 2022, after losing in the Wild Card round to the Philadelphia Eagles, Tom Brady announced his NFL retirement. However, 40 days into his retirement, Brady revoked that decision and signed a one-year contract with Tampa Bay Buccaneers. However, one year into his first retirement, after the Dallas Cowboys knocked out the Bucs in the wild-card round of the 2022-23 season, Brady, anticlimactically, announced his supposedly final retirement from the sport before winning his eighth Super Bowl.
There is no doubt about Brady’s retirement feeling incomplete. But do you think this was Brady’s final goodbye from the NFL? Or will he return to conquer his eighth Super Bowl? What do you think? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
