A post shared by Tom Brady (@tombrady)

Well, that didn’t last long. Tom Brady’s retirement lasted a shorter time than the MLB lockout. If anyone actually believed that Tom Brady was actually retired you need to give your head a shake. There were sooooooooooo many red flags in the past few months that showed he was coming back.

How about this little nugget on his podcast where he said “you never say never”

Or how about this encounter with the goat of soccer Cristiano Ronaldo YESTERDAY.

Tom Brady has a video on his Instagram story of him talking to Cristiano Ronaldo:

Cristiano: “You’re finished, right?”

Ronaldo asks ” you finished right” and Toms’s face says it all.

MY DUDE knew the entire time he was coming back. Apparently, we have King James to thank for the return of the GOAT.

There is no way he was sitting down for good after almost coming back to beat the Super Bowl Champions in the NFC title game. I am here for it. Tom Brady is good for business and the NFL is thrilled. Also, RIP to the dude who paid $500,000 for Tom Brady’s final touchdown ball yesterday. Thoughts and prayers.

VIA USA TODAY An unidentified person spent $518,628 for the ball that went for 55 yards to receiver Mike Evans in the Buccaneers’ loss to the Los Angeles Rams in the NFC Divisional Round. Twenty-three different bids were made, and the bidding started at $100,000.

Before the ball went up for sale, Jordan Gilroy estimated it would sell for at least $1 million.
