“The Kid Won’t Go Home”: Hall of Famer Reveals Tom Brady Sr’s Worst Fears Are Coming to Pass

Tom Brady has had a career that would make even the most strict parents proud. The seven-time Super Bowl champion has achieved far more than his peers and continues to surpass expectations. Brady is the face of the NFL and football. There’s no doubt that the quarterback is the most accomplished in the league. The silverware he’s amassed over the years speaks for itself. But as TB12 grows older, it’s not just the fans showing concern for his well-being.

The Tampa Bay star has seen a lot in the 23 years of his career. At 45 years old, TB12 hasn’t given the NFL world any inclination to retire after this season ends. You’d think that after an illustrious career of achieving something no one has, Brady would want to relax, play golf and enjoy retirement. But, it doesn’t seem that way. If this question has been nagging the NFL world, which is far removed from Brady’s personal life, imaginably, his immediate family also has concerns. So, what do they think of his career trajectory that doesn’t seem to have an endpoint?

Tom Brady has some important people in his life fretting over his career’s longevity

Tom Brady briefly retired before this season. But the quarterback couldn’t stay out there for long and resumed his career after 40 days. This year, Brady and his wife of 13 years Gisele Bündchen ended their 13-year marriage. Reportedly, one of the causes for this was Brady’s unwillingness to retire. But it seems like TB12’s former wife is not the only one who disapproves of his career’s longevity.

Legendary wide receiver Cris Carter, who was featured on the ‘Up & Adams’ show revealed some important information to host Kay Adams. According to the Hall of Famer, the quarterback’s father, Tom Brady Sr., is fearful of the fact that his son won’t stop playing. Carter said, “He said the only thing he’s worried about is the kid, the kid won’t go home. He said ‘the kid is outside still playing, and he won’t come in. It’s raining, everything.’ He said, ‘I am only afraid the kid won’t stop playing even if he wins.’” From the looks of it, Brady, who is no doubt his father’s pride and joy, may have also contributed to some of his hair graying with worry.

The NFL world may be in agreement with Brady Sr.

Brady’s father’s worry is not irrational. After a milestone-filled career, there’s not much that TB12 hasn’t already accomplished. Fans online also shared their thoughts on the matter. One user makes a point.

Another user has some thoughts about Brady’s retirement

The legendary quarterback hasn’t had the most successful of seasons. But that is not discouraging to him. On the ‘Let’s Go!’ podcast Brady once revealed that he would rather lose and play than not play at all. He has also spoken about sticking around after his potential retirement to take up a second career in broadcasting for the NFL. From the looks of it, Brady and football are inseparable. Perhaps his passion and love for the sport are what keep him going despite the ups and downs that this year brought in. The NFL world is unsure about when TB12 will retire. But we know one thing for certain, where there is football, there’s Tom Brady.
