After retiring from the NFL after 22 seasons on February 1st, Tom Brady announced Sunday that he will be coming out of retirement for his 23rd season. His retirement lasted a total of 40 days and social media could not stop talking about it. Let’s take a look at Tom Brady’s announcement and the reactions that followed.
These past two months I’ve realized my place is still on the field and not in the stands. That time will come. But it’s not now. I love my teammates, and I love my supportive family. They make it all possible. I’m coming back for my 23rd season in Tampa. Unfinished business LFG pic.twitter.com/U0yhRKVKVm

If Tom Brady has a supermodel wife and hundreds of millions dollars and could only last 40 days in retirement before getting bored, there’s really no hope for any of us, huh guys?
