The Tom Brady era officially is over, and there were plenty of congratulatory messages to go around.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback announced his retirement via Instagram on Tuesday morning after reports surfaced Saturday about the 44-year-old calling it a career.
Brady spent 22 seasons in the NFL and won seven Super Bowl championships -- six with the New England Patriots -- while continuing to make history year after year. So it's no surprise his comments section was flooded with congratulatory messages from former teammates, celebrities and other athletes.
