When an NFL player retires to spend more time with his family, does it follow that, when he un-retires 40 days later, he does so because he doesn’t want to spend more time with his family? That taking the kids to school or sitting down for dinner at 5 p.m. is a little more domestic togetherness than he had imagined?
That would be the logical conclusion. Another conclusion would be that Tom Brady can’t let go of football or the spotlight. What kind of person decides to announce that he’s changed his mind on retirement during Selection Sunday for the NCAA Tournament? The kind of person who knows that millions of sports fans will be staring at TV screens when he drops his news.
