NFL:
Tom Brady officially confirmed the speculation that he is retiring.
The 44-year-old Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback, who has won seven Super Bowls, announced his retirement (Tuesday) on Instagram.
As a young QB, Tom Brady didn’t wow anyone while at the University of Michigan or the NFL combine. He was slow. He wasn’t elusive. His arm was OK. So no one saw what was to come for Brady, who officially retired Tuesday. Stephen Brunt explains.https://t.co/xU6SoGVat8
