The greatest quarterback in American football history retires. Tom Brady announced his decision at the end of twenty-two seasons in the NFL. Seven-time Super Bowl winner, 44, the man of records for attempts, completed passes and those that led to a goal, had made it clear in recent weeks that the moment of farewell was about to arrive. Brady had talked about his commitments as the father of his two children and as the husband of super model Gisele Bundchen, married in 2009. Just last week the quarterback finished his eighth title run prematurely, with the elimination of his last team. , the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, eliminated by the Los Angeles Rams.
The NFL loses its living icon, the player who had created a winning era with the New England Patriots, marked by six Super Bowls. The last, almost surprisingly, had arrived in his first year as an ex, with the Buccaneers. To think that when he was chosen in the draft of the NFL, Brady did not arrive as a future star but only in 199 place, after playing for Michigan. The Patriots had only chosen the best quarterback in the NFL, the man who would mark an era, which officially ends today.
