Brady: My family would 'kill me' if I unretire again

Tom Brady insists he's hung up his football cleats for good after retiring from the NFL for a second time.

The future Hall of Fame quarterback was joined on Monday's episode of his SiriusXM podcast "Let's Go!" by YouTube star MrBeast, who suggested that Brady fake a comeback as a way to boost his ratings. Brady shot down the idea, though, joking that he would face the wrath of his family if he made such an announcement.

"I can't tease that," Brady said. "My parents would call, my kids would call. They'd kill me. I wouldn't be around by tonight."

He added: "You're only allowed one retirement, one unretirement. And I've used it up."

Brady retired for the first time on Feb. 1, 2022, only to reverse course 40 days later and announce that he was returning to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for a 23rd season. He made his second retirement announcement on Feb. 1, 2023.

The 46-year-old is set to join Fox Sports in 2024 as an analyst after agreeing to a 10-year, $375-million deal with the network.
