The G.O.A.T. is retiring once again.
Tom Brady, who won a record seven Super Bowls and five Super Bowl MVPs during a 23-year career with the Patriots and Buccaneers, announced Wednesday he is retiring from the NFL "for good" this time.
Brady previously had a short-lived retirement during the 2022 offseason.
Brady's retirement once again set off an avalanche of reaction on social media across the sports world.
