(Note: This story was first published last year when Tom Brady announced his first retirement after the 2021 season. He unretired and played one more season. He made what appears to be a more definitive retirement announcement Wednesday morning. Here is an updated version of the story we originally published.
Greatness.
We admire it. We revel in it. We celebrate it.
Greatness, thy name is Tom Brady
The greatest quarterback to ever lace ‘em up has decided to retire after 23 historic seasons in the National Football League. Brady will leave with a ridiculous number of records, including the most passing yards (89,214), the most touchdown passes (649), the most regular-season wins (251), the most postseason wins (35), the most Super Bowl appearances (10), wins (7) and MVPs (5), and the most Pro Bowl selections (15).
