Earlier in the NFL offseason. The GOAT announced his retirement. But he couldn’t sit idle for too long. After a quick trip to Manchester, Brady announced his comeback. By calling out UFC champion Francis Nganou, maybe Fury is doing the same.
Tom Brady retired and unretired
Back in February, Tom Brady shocked the entire world. The GOAT announced that he will be stepping away from the field. Brady retiring like this all of a sudden did not make sense to the fans. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback had a brilliant last season and he looked ready to run it back. But Brady wanted to spend more time with his family away from the limelight.
Brady took his boys to watch a Manchester United game. The star striker Cristiano Ronaldo had a phenomenal showing during the match-up. Maybe he inspired the quarterback to return to action. It is not easy stepping away from football after you have decided your entire life to it. After a quick meeting with the Glazer family, the GOAT announced his comeback.
In an interview, Brady talked about how his family supported him to make the return. “I decided to talk with my family and I said, “I think I wanna do this one more time if you guys will support that.”” Brady adds, “My wife was so supportive of it, and she said, “Look, I want you to be happy. I want you to enjoy it and go out there and win.” Ultimately, that’s why I came back, to win.”
