There is no doubt that Tom Brady is one of the greatest players in NFL history. The quarterback decided to un-retire from football this year even though his decision would create a controversial family fight with his wife Gisele Bundchen.

Tom Brady’s most recent years have been an absolute rollercoaster for him, his family and the fans. In 2020 he decided to leave the New England Patriots and join the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, where he instantly won his 7th Super Bowl ring. But then, he drastically changed his mind and retired from the NFL after 22 seasons.

But no, it was no over for Tom Brady. Months after announcing his (momentary) retirement, the quarterback revealed he was going to return to the Buccaneers for the 2022 campaign, but this decision created an ā€˜epic fight’ between him and Gisele Bundchen.

As for his family, Brady doesn’t forget what is his biggest priority in life. ā€œEven though I’m playing in my 23rd year, I have a freshman in high school that is playing football, too. I have a 12-year-old that is going through his life. I have a 9-year-old that is going through her life. And I have parents, and I have a lot of things that are really important, off-field pursuits and goals that you’re trying to maximize as well.ā€
