Tom Brady super fan Skip Bayless was left sulking Saturday after the legendary NFL quarterback reportedly decided to retire following 22 seasons in the league.
Reports previously surfaced about Brady’s potential retirement, and the signal-caller expressed the importance of stepping back and talking about it with his family. ProFootballTalk’s Mike Florio even suggested this week Brady’s wife, Gisele Bundchen, “laid down the law” in regards to his playing career.
Well, it seems Bayless is wishing Brady could put his family on hold for another season. Bayless reacted to the Brady news following Saturday’s initial report from ESPN.
Bayless tweeted: “As I reported on Tuesday’s Undisputed, an extremely reliable source inside the Bucs told me they would be shocked if Brady played next season. WHICH SHOCKED ME. He’s playing as great as he ever has. Say it ain’t so, Tom! Can’t your family wait at least one more year? Brady, gone.”
Bayless has since followed that up with a half dozen other tweets centered around Brady.
Brady hasn’t officially issued an announcement, which has caused some confusion, and his agent, Don Yee, released a statement saying the QB will be the only one to confirm the reports. The Buccaneers reportedly have not been informed about Brady’s retirement, either.
