It's been a week since Tom Brady officially announced his retirement, and he's already thinking about a comeback.
In an interview a few days ago, Brady briefly explained the reasons behind the decision, and was thanked by everyone. Asked if he had any ideas for a comeback, Brady said: "I'll go with the flow and I think that's the best way to put it into it." You know, never say never. Sure, I'm happy with the comfortable life I'm having with my retirement now, but I don't know what it's going to feel like in six months. ”
"I tried to make the best decisions, and that's what I did last week. Again, I don't think I'm going to regret it right now, and I would never do it. But at the same time, I think you have to be realistic, you never know what challenges you're going to face in life. Again, I love playing, and I'm looking forward to doing other things besides playing, and that's the most honest answer I can give. ”
Just a day before Brady announced his retirement, Brady said he was still "deliberately considering", and two days further, there were reports that the Super Bowl champion intended to end his career. Brady, 44, has been named to the Pro Bowl 15 times and won three regular-season MVP titles, and he has too many titles to hold an unspeakable record. He explained that he did not retire because he felt that he could not play, but that factors other than rugby led him to make the decision to retire.
"Whatever the choice, there is a price, and the price is something I will lose in other aspects of my life." Brady said: "As you get older, you experience things outside of sport that distract your energy and attention, and rugby has always been that way, and now is the time for me to take back my energy. I've thought a lot about it over the last 10 years as I get closer and closer to making a decision last week, and finally I feel like it's time. I think that for those who love the sport as much as I do, the sport will always remain in my heart. That's for sure, because I put a lot of time and effort into the sport. ”
Brady clarified that this had nothing to do with his mental commitment, and he equally emphasized that he was not physically hindered. It is also true that Brady leads the league in passing yards and touchdowns in the 2021 season. The future Hall of Famer said: "I'm lucky enough to play for this long, 22 years. I've done it to the highest level and I have the best coaches, teammates and friends. Again, I left rugby to make time for it to do other things, and it's exciting for me to enjoy these fresh moments. ”
"I've learned a lot from the sport and I'm glad there are so many people who love watching me play over the years. Believe me, I still love the sport and still love rugby. I enjoy actually standing on the field more than you watch me play. ”
