“The Door Just Cracked Open” Skip Bayless gives his opinion on Tom Brady’s retirement situation
Tom Brady is one of the most recognised names in NFL history. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers man is highly respected and has earned the right to call his retirement.
After winning his seventh Super Bowl last year, it perhaps was the right time for him to call it a day on an illustrious career. However, that didn’t go through and here he is into a new season.
Skip Bayless reckons Tom Brady has reached his retirement age
NFL pundit Skip Bayless reckons that it is the right time for Tom Brady to retire. According to Bayless, he has heard from inner sources that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are indeed considering parting ways with their legend.
“I’m here to tell you, knowing Brady the way I know him, that I heard (Sunday night) from several sources, from that inner circle, who said he and they are outraged over this — just the way you said they should be outraged,” Bayless said on Monday’s episode of “Undisputed” on FS1.
“Because they wanted to make the announcement when they wanted to make the announcement because he’s earned the right, I think, after all these years and all those Super Bowls and all those wins. He has earned the right to say, ‘Yes, this is it for me.’
Moreover, Bayless has also said that even if Tom Brady does retire, he might feel like there’s fire left in him and he has still a lot to prove to his critics and might go on even if that’s not the correct decision.
“As devastated as I was on Saturday, as chips started to fall the rest of the day and people dug in — such as (Don) Yee, (Bruce) Arians, (Brady’s) father — I started to get a little hopeful,” Bayless said.
“It’s long-shot hope, probably, because you’re probably leaning the right direction that he left the country right after the loss thinking, ‘Yeah, I probably should call it a day now.’ But he might return to all this fallout and say, ‘You know what? I’m just gonna show them again. We’ll see what happens. Watch this.’ “
