Tom Brady is officially on Twitter. His first tweet sent a temporary jolt of panic through New England.
The Patriots quarterback has long avoided joining Twitter, though he’s already on Facebook and Instagram. For a first tweet, Brady unleashed a statement that would’ve been seismic news on any other day:
I'm retiring. In my spare time, I'll be tweeting #LFG

Of course, given that it’s April 1, it was a timely April Fools’ Day joke. The 41-year-old quarterback has no plans to retire from the NFL.
