Seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady has made it clear that he will never leave the NFL, no matter how many times the idea is brought up.
In the latest episode of his podcast, Let’s Go! With Tom Brady, Larry Fitzgerald and Jim Gray, the topic of retirement comes up again. Their special guest Jimmy Donaldson (“Mr. Beast” on YouTube) joked that Brady’s ratings would go up if he returned to the field.
Brady responded firmly, stating, “I am NOT coming out of retirement.” He acknowledged Mr. Beast’s suggestion as smart but emphasized that his family is the primary reason for his decision. Even when Jim Gray, his co-host, tried to convince him otherwise, Brady stood his ground, saying, “My parents would call, my kids would call. They would kill me. I wouldn’t be around by tonight.”
It’s important to understand the context. Tom Brady retired from the NFL for the first time on February 1, 2022, after 22 years in the league. However, he returned to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after just 40 days and played the 2022 season. He then retired again on February 1, 2023, for good, as he put it.
“As I said, you’re only allowed one un-retirement. And I’ve used it up,” Brady explained on his podcast in response to Jim Gray’s suggestion for a more original idea to boost ratings. He humorously added, “So at this point, I’m just looking forward to being in more of your videos ’cause my kids don’t think I’m s–t,” addressing Mr. Beast directly.
Brady acknowledged Mr. Beast’s influence on the younger community and how his three children, John ‘Jack’ Edward Thomas, Benjamin Rein, and Vivian Lake, are more likely to listen to Mr. Beast than their own father. He admitted that Mr. Beast has a lot more influence and humorously stated, “So I’m actually trying to stay on their good side.” Perhaps a collaboration between Tom Brady and Mr. Beast could be in the works.
Legendary partnership: Tom Brady and Mr. Beast
Imagine working with the current G.O.A.T. Tom Brady. YouTubes (the greatest ever) and one of the greatest players of all time. It will be a legend, and no matter what they do, people from all over the world will tune in. If you want to see this exciting collaboration, the good news is that things are already up and running. In a recent podcast, Mr. Beast Tom Brady was a participant in his YouTube video and even gave an example of the collaboration.
Mr. Beast explained, “Yeah, come on down. It’d be fun to have you as a contestant. Imagine my viewers, they just click on a video and it’s like a hundred people competing and then just randomly it’s Tom Brady. They’d be like, what the heck? It’d be so funny.” Doesn’t that sound like something you would watch?
Tom Brady seemed to like the idea, but there was one condition – they have to pick a competition that makes him look good. Brady said, “I’ll do it. We just gotta make a competition that I’m somewhat decent at. You can’t bury me alive or something like that!” Even in retirement, the burning desire to win still fuels Brady.
