Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady had only retired 45 days before telling his team that he would return. It’s an emotional time for one of the greatest players of all time – he knows the clock is ticking on his career.
“Let’s go!” On Monday’s podcast with legendary sportscaster Jim Grey, Brady discussed those feelings and how they are now more heightened than ever.
“I’m really feeling my feelings really intensely,” he said. “And I guess I always have that, but I feel like when you get closer to the end – and I don’t know where I am with that and there’s no decision to be made, [but] It’s not like I have 10 years left.

Over the past two weeks, tabloids speculated that their marriage was on the rocks given Brady’s decision to return to football. But the legendary NFL superstar had said that he would play until the age of 45, and that he would do so if everything remained the status quo.
He also took an 11-day missed absence from the Bucs during training camp because he had “a lot going on.”
“We’re not all sure whether we’ll be here next year, that’s the reality for every player, every coach, every parent,” Brady said in August. “You just never know. We should all take advantage of the opportunity we have.”
