This man gave the game so much and there will never be another like him.A truly exceptional athlete.We appreciate all the years he gave us.We will definitely miss him on the field🐐

I grew up in Boston as a die hard Pats fan and my family moved to Tampa when I was in high school in 1976. I immediately was a Bucs fan and had season tix for the inaugural year and been a huge fan of Pats and Bucs FOREVER!. Thank for playing for both my favorite teams and making football the most enjoyable sport to watch. Good luck in the broadcast booth!!! LFG

As a die hard Bucs Fan thank u TB for bringing a championship back to Tampa Bay. The 🐐

I grew up in New England and will always be grateful for what TB has given me. My dad brought me to Toms 2nd start in 2000 and I was bummed…I wanted to see Bledsoe, but I fell in love with Tommy that game. I’ve been bonding with my dad over Tom Brady ever since. We live across country from each other but still talk weekly and during football season, one of the first questions is always “did you see Tom this week?” Or something along those lines. I can’t begin to thank TB for how much joy and bonding he has guided through his play. Thank you so much Tom, it’s been an honor to watch you play throughout my entire life.

Best Ever bar none! Thank you so much Tom Brady!

If this is it, Tom I thank you not only for the memories in New England but I along with the Patriots fans who are die hard thank you for your career and your service to our organization!!! Tampa Bay Buccaneers organization and their fans of course thank you Tom for everything you did for them and if this is it Tom, go enjoy your retirement and sail into the sunset. You have earned it Tom. You will always be the GOAT 🐐 ❤️ 💙 🙏🏽

The GOAT in my books. Holds so many records, such a clutch player when you need him to win a game. That 3-28 Superbowl comeback will forever be my highlight of his career.

Forever in my heart. Will miss you a ton. Unbelievable career, the greatest to ever do it. The sheer will to win is unmatched.

The goat. No disputing it Seahawks and Ravens fan here

THANK YOU GOAT! Love from Philly.

THE GREATEST EVER. This man's career in his 40s is better than most players in their prime.

Never liked him as an adversary of my team, but one thing is for sure... the respect I have for this man is immeasurable. An icon of the sport, must watch TV and the wrong man (or right man, depending on which side you stand lol) to leave time on the clock in the 4th quarter. Besides Jordan, I can't think of another athlete that was as steel- nerved in crunch time and delivered time and time again. I am truly grateful to have witnessed Jordan, Tiger, and Brady all in my lifetime - no youtube needed! Seen it all live, as it happened! You don't gotta like him, but you GOTTA respect what he's done. This is the end of an era and now we must leave him to the ages.... Thanks for the thrills, GOAT Brady...

He came back just to be able to announce his own retirement... Legend. Thank you Tom for everything it's been a joy to watch

As a die hard life long U OF M fan I have loved him ever since he won us a national championship. So nothing made me happier than seeing him go on to become the GOAT. From going almost undrafted, to being the measuring tape that all other great QB's in the league are compared to every season for the past 2 decades. This is the kind of folktale like persona he's gonna leave on the game, and unless you were alive to see it you probably won't believe it. As sports fan I'm greatly saddened by his announcement. The hole he's gonna leave in the game is already being felt. The league just isn't gonna be the same without everybody's favorite villain in it anymore. That being said, I'm genuinely happy for him, nobody deserves to enjoy retirement more than the GOAT himself . We love you, and we're gonna miss you Tom ❤. Now ffs, go eat a carb my guy!!!!

I don’t really feel sadness I feel gratitude for what he’s done for the sport, man has been an icon for the NFL for two decades

Diana trying to look busy😂 girl the news is out already 💀💀

Thank you, Tom. For everything. Salute.

I feel for him, he gave his life to this game and the fans of this sport and critics are giving him so much hate. He literally gave it all and he wanted to give it up but couldn’t, he was institutionalized.

Glad he came back because this year he really made so many new records and got the number one spot in every category that is meaningful for a qb

This is not the way Tom Brady wants to go out, but the sad news is he is "Done 👍"(Retired). The sports world will remember and miss Tom Brady on the Football 🏈 Field forever ✨. The greatest QB in football history.🏆

You've inspired people because of your work ethics..Loved you and I'm not sure if I'll be able to watch football without you there.Goodluck

Several generations got to witness the greatest QB in the history of NFL

We love you Tom, blessings for you and family!

What a legend, he is such a inspiration. He may have played to long but it’s hard to see him go

Tom Brady is the standard of competitive excellence as an individual player and teamate.

One of greatest careers of all time thank you TB12 for all entertaining us football fan's enjoy your retirement 🐐

He really is the 🐐 of our time!

He should've after he won in Tampa he knew after he barely beat Pat his time was coming to an end I'll always remember The Greatest SuperBowl Comeback in History! 28-3 he did that.

This really is the end of era, Brady it’s been an honor.

I love you Tom. My favorite player

Football isn’t going to be the same without him! End of an era.

I think it’s so cool to be alive during this lifetime cause I get to tell my kids about the Toms and the lebrons and all these greats that may never be able to be replicated

Tom Brady the greatest ever I learn so much from him he inspires and o love and admire him so much the GOAT

Tom Brady announced his retirement very personally without any press. I'm happy that I was able to see him live in Munich last year. He will be missed in the football world as a absolut great player and team player. Make the best of it and above all stay healthy. He is and will always be the GOAT ❤️🇩🇪👍🙋‍♀️

brady, true prototype to blood sweat & tears, on the field every year, this man is a LEGEND

When MJ23 retired i did`nt cry...but men i swear when i saw the video of TB12 speaking his retirement today...i cry,i feel crush and sad...

Thank you for everything TB12 🐐

It was a pleasure watching this man play the game. 20 years of watching him play I went from hating the man to respecting him. He is the real G.O.A.T.

Adieu to the greatest football career of all time!... Maybe hearing him from a booth we can all look forward to🤔

This feels like when Kobe retired... there will be a competitive hole in the sport that will be hard to be filled by anyone else. Brady had the Mamba Mentality.

A legend

Congrats to the goat and thank you for representing football with class,toughness,and much success God bless.

Wow just wow can't believe your reign is over ..... TB 12 you were an enormous influence on me growing up ..... how many can say they got to watch there hero from age 9 to 30 ..... not many wishing you all the best Tom enjoy retirement .... Greatest EVER

The UNDISPUTED GOAT of the NFL!!! gonna miss watching this guy every Sunday.. but when its time its time.. he gave us everything a fan of football would wanna see and it will be truly missed!!

Never forget the "GOAT" Tom Brady. 🏆 🥇 A true winner!

The greatest of all time 🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐

Classic conundrum of the really great athletes, they dont know when to get out of the game before theyre actually forced out. That feeling of winning and being on top of the game is prolly one of the most addictive things in the world..

GOOD FOR HIM!!! & THE YOUNGER GENERATION OF QBS...

the greatest ever just retired .. he spoiled us with football that we will never see again .. like foreal magic almost unreal .. its a honor but truthfully i want to cry .. my favorite player retiring ... bruh im hurting im not ok ... 😞 thank you tom!

so the rumors of Tom going to the Niners is non-existent. Thank you Tom and congrats on the retirement

a tough lesson to learn Tom

Gonna miss watching that dude.

You know there are people at home are like " Thank God!!!" Not me course though. Sad to see him go.

End of an era indeed and this is hard to digest but he had an illustrious career with achievements of the highest degree. The greatest to ever do it hands down and you can’t deny that. 🐐 and he’ll definitely be missed. Amazing and superb career that will forever be etched in the annals of history and beyond.

Time with family > Money Remember that Value that Embody that TB12

Tom Brady created a work ethic that young QBs like Joe Burrow are using a template, although Burrows is his own man, there is no doubt Brady's career has influenced many young men in every sport here in the U.S and throughout the world of sports, long live the Goat! Tom Brady!

The man needs and wants to concentrate on his private life and family. Hope it all goes well for him. Also, he beat the media this time, that's why it feels right.

S/O to TB12 he has had a phenomenal career and made a great impact on the nfl congratulations and enjoy retirement 💯.

The goat the greatest to ever live nobody comes close or will ever come close tom Brady my idol my inspiration ❤️🐐

I am so proud of you Tommy😢

I’m not crying 😢 you are

Will miss the GOAT

Respect 🐐

Obviously, being from New England, I wish Tom everything that 20 years of sacrifice and championships could net one man as an equivalent to whatever he endeavors from here on out. New England loves you, Tom, and owes you everything. Live the dream, my friend. Your tears are ours just as our tears are yours.

I felt that same way when Barry Bonds announced his retirement. I felt a bit lost and I wondered how I was going to watch baseball without Bonds.

That looked like a man who just starred into the oceans for hours reflecting on his whole football career. All praise to the GOAT!!

The Greatest!

You rocked it like a hurricane, Tom.

A body language expert studied Brady during this latest announcement and he determined that Brady will be signing with the Farty Niners in the off-season. Yay!!!

I am shocked. I would have bet $ that he would have signed w/ the 49ers to go after a Super Bowl. But good for him! On your own terms, Tom.

I'm just happy he didn't retire after the Titans game. Bro still won a Super Bowl after that 😭

Other than what he's done throughout his career and his impact on teaching the world on what a winning mentality looks like, but I appreciate his acknowledgment he already did the emotional essay and didn't put people through a media circus all summer.

Can’t wait to see more Manning & Brady show. Please make it happen!🎉

Thank God

Well i guess im retiring from watching football he was the only reason my tv was on football every sunday you are the goat and thank you for giving me so many fun memories my favorute was the comeback of the falcons 🤯

I really do hope he stays retired and finds peace. Everyone should be able to flip the page and move on. He is the GOAT, no debate. Can’t wait to see what he does next.

We heard this one before I'll believe it when I see it

Guys, greeny is literally being told this right now. Literally.

Would’ve liked to see him in SF but what can I say? It is what it is

Thank you, Tom, for showing us what greatness is like MJ 👍🏽 much Love the NFL will not be the same without you I'm may not be your friend or ever meet you, but u feel like family be the great father you are like you dad buddy

Hooray!

I'm sure with the way the NFL is today his all time passing yards and tds and whatnot will get broken someday but we will never see a qb good into his 40s, never see a player in 10 Superbowls and 7 wins. Brady always said " I want to play till I'm 45 and when I suck I'll know it's time" so knowing that Giselle couldn't deal with one more season? And to have it be his first loosing season, hate it for him. Forever TB12=🐐 X7. Growing up new England sports sucked to say the least until my senior year when the Patriots won their first Superbowl and the flood gates opened, 20years= 6 superbowls, 4world series, 1nba championship, and 1stanley cup. Thank you TB12 for 20 years of great memories.

Will miss u buddy

LFG.......See you in Glendale for the SB!!!

YOU TOOK ONE FROM US.. WE TOOK ONE FROM YOU.. Thanks for the good times Tommy...PHILLY.

They didn't put the audio on this one. Genius workers at ESPN. 😑

Man's got 7 rings like an Ariana Grande song, the GOAT.

The G.O.A.T!!🐐

Brady will always be the Superman quarterback and God bless the man .

Greatest ever. Not even close.

I'll wait till the season starts before I believe it.

When I watched brady this year I didn't see the same killer extinct. You could definitely see he was checked out.

GOAT !!!

Tom Brady: retired Peyton Manning: retired Ben Roethlisberger: retired Drew Brees: retired Philip Rivers: retired Eli Manning: retired Truly an end of an era 🙌

He gave my struggling Bucs another ring 🥲. Thank you Brady

GOAT of Goat's 🐐

The Greatest Player of All Time- Salute

Are we really doing this again? I gave him his flowers last year.

Thank you Thomas Edward Patrick Brady, Jr.~ Skip

Was hoping he'd give it a last woo-rah with the 49ers even tho im a cardinals fan.
