Why can’t people live with their decisions? Why the drama? If you are not sure you want to retire, don’t. If you are not sure you can afford to retire, don’t. But don’t lie about your intentions to draw attention to yourself and then go back on what you proclaimed to the world.
There are some who I expect to say one thing and do another. I was not surprised when Motley Crue went back on their word and their contract with each other and decided to go out on tour again. Nor was I surprised that Billy Martin and George Steinbrenner could not help breaking up and getting back together and breaking up, etc., I can understand when Kiss launches their 27th Farewell Tour (I mean, if Gene Simmons will sell booze, anything is possible in Kiss-Land). There are very few people in the public eye who expect to keep their word. Tom Brady was one of those people.
If he wasn’t sure about his future, why didn’t he tell people he was still working through the process? He had a great career. Why did he have to put the sporting world through the drama of retirement, then unretirement? When he retires again, will you believe him?
I am not sure why he would continue to play at his age. He has nothing to prove, and he probably loses money by playing football. The sport is too brutal for him to keep playing at his age.
I hope that people who listen to me will recognize that I do what I say. I promise you that it will be well thought out when I retire, and I will not unretire.
