This Wednesday morning, Tom Brady has woken up and has decided to press the button with the most anticipated news for months. It’s over, that María Jiménez or Carlos Santana would sing (not to be confused, they are different songs).

Tom Brady, the greatest quarterback in the history of the American football league, retires. Yes, this time yes. He will no longer return to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers or any other team as has been speculated in recent weeks.

He retires from grass for the second time in a short time, because he already announced it exactly one year ago and then he backed down. It would have been better if he hadn’t backed down. A disastrous season would have been avoided and, perhaps, his marriage would have been saved.

On this occasion, he stressed that he is serious. The forged quarterback and more than a winner in the New England Patriots posted a video on Twitter with his announcement. “Good morning guys. I’ll get to the point. I retire forever, ”he stressed. “I know this process was a big problem last time, so when I woke up this morning I thought I’d hit the record button and let you be the first to know,” he explained.

“This is not going to be a long goodbye. There is only one essay for retirement and you already had it last year, ”she ironized. “For this, thank you very much to everyone, to each one of you who have given me support. My family, my friends, colleagues, rivals and I could continue in this way forever because there are many of you,” she reiterated.

“Thank you all for allowing me to live my dream, I wouldn’t change a thing, I love you,” he said goodbye.

The other retirement took him 40 days to back down. We will have to wait for the Ides of March to make a final determination, but this time Brady arrives very touched. It has not been as he imagined. The new generations have displaced him, players who could even be his sons. In addition, he promised that he would leave him at the age of 45 and in August, on the eve of the start of the next season, he will turn 46.

But, despite a little movie ending, without mythical, there is one thing clear. The most extraordinary quarterback says goodbye. The quarterback, the passer, the coach on the field, who has left the most mark on the favorite sport of Americans, is leaving. No one can deny that he is already part of the Olympus of sports legends in this country, comparable and compared to Muhammad Ali or Michael Jordan, with their records of seven Super Bowls and five times the best player in that final. Very far from the rest.

They are no less than 23 years old when he joined the Bostonian team. No one would have bet a dime on him except the coach who got them to the top, Bill Belichick. In Las Vegas he would have broken the bank. Brady was selected by the New England Patriots 199th overall in the 2000 draft (selection). This means he was second to last and would otherwise have been takedown material.

Brady confirms the biblical motto: the last will be first. It will be difficult for his story, due to many fairy tales to be used, to repeat itself in such a competitive sport.
