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.

You only get one super emotional reaction to the goat retiring, and I used mine up. So I’ll just say this. Learning from you as a player, teammate, leader, son, brother, and father has been the experience of a lifetime. Love you buddy. ❤️🐐
