When Tom Brady decided to end his 40-day retirement and return for a 23rd NFL season, the Buccaneers’ quarterback likely did not envision it would be a voyage filled with a divorce from his wife and a Tampa Bay team that has struggled throughout the halfway mark of the season.
This season marks the first time of Brady’s historic career that he sits below .500 through nine weeks into the regular season. Despite the Bucs’ hardships, the seven-time Super Bowl winner told reporters on Friday that he had “zero” regrets in returning to the franchise to compete for another opportunity at a Super Bowl.
“I returned because I felt like I wanted to compete and I spoke to the team about it and they were excited to have me back,” Brady said. “I don’t really regret those types of things—I think when I commit to it, I mean it and I do my best and try to give everything I can to this particular opportunity.”
