Summary
Tom Brady is finally hanging up his helmet. The three-time MVP quarterback announced his retirement in an emotional video posted to his social media yesterday. But this isn't Tom's first time calling it quits. Last year he left the NFL for just 40 days before coming back to play one more season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. There was speculation that Tom's "unretirement" cost him his marriage to supermodel Gisele Bündchen, who reportedly wanted him to prioritize his family over football. One divorce and one not-so impressive season later, Tom's walking off the field - and he swears it's for real this time. But Tom’s love of the game is strong. Can he really stay away? Or will we see him back in the Bucs gear in another six weeks like last time?
