Tom Brady says he's 'certain' he's not playing again

Tom Brady reiterated Thursday that he has no plans to play in the NFL again after retiring in February.

"I'm certain I'm not playing again, so I've tried to make that clear and I hate to continue to profess that, cause I've already told people that lots of times," Brady told Sports Illustrated in response to a question about fans and media who continue to come up with scenarios where he might return to the field.

Brady, 45, said he's looking forward to beginning his role as a broadcaster for Fox Sports in 2024 and the "opportunity ahead" with the Las Vegas Raiders, after recently agreeing to buy a minority ownership stake in the franchise.
