Tom Brady spoke publicly for the first time on Monday since announcing his retirement from the NFL six days ago.
In his weekly appearance on his Let's Go podcast with Larry Fitzgerald and Jim Gray, the seven-time Super Bowl champ shared what went into his decision to retire. As he alluded to previously, the 44-year-old explained that he thinks he could still play, but that he wants to devote his attention to other aspects of his life.
“It's certainly not that I can't play, or continue to play, but I think there's an important choice for me to make,” Brady explained. “And I think the choice is: Everything certainly comes at a cost and the cost is what am I missing out on other aspects of my life and things that are, as you get older, you experience things outside of the sport that demand attention and energy that football has always gotten. And it's time for me to commit to those types of things.”
