#LetsGoSwitzerlandThe Man Who Does Not Read Has No Advantage Over the Man Who Cannot Read. The biggest obstacle to progress is a habit of “buying what we want and begging for what we need.”You get the Freedom you fight for and get the Oppression you deserve.

    Even his agent said he wouldn’t be surprised if TOMPA talked him back to the Bucs

    With the punishment he has taken over the years he SHOULD NOT return to playing but he probably will at some point before the season starts as Brady will talk him into it.

    He's 33, has a net worth of $45 million. I say good on him. He may look and act goofy, but anyone who's been able to collect paychecks over the years, appears to be a genius to me. 33 and uber rich, how sweet it must be!!
    Not sure even Tompa can pull him back.

    Brady OTOH has a net worth of $400 million, and that excludes his wife's fortune of an additional $400 million. One does wonder why the Tom would risk getting injured while having access to such a mind-numbing amount of money. Therefore, I deduce it has to simply be ego and the thrill of the game. Me, I could eaaaaaaassily find a sweet thrill with about 500 acres in Montana on a pristine trout stream and a killer log home, and still have a zillion dollars left over. Let's add in a helicopter for access to the outside world should I desire to go anywhere. Imagine the possibilities with $800 LARGE

    He has the money, rings and most importantly his health so he would be smart to stick to his retirement plans
