Is Tom Brady Retiring? NFL Execs Are Split Amid Raiders Links
After he and his Tampa Bay Buccaneers failed to advance in the NFL playoffs, Tom Brady's future as a player is now in question. During his "Let's Go" podcast, NFL's winningest quarterback got a bit touchy when asked about retirement.
Co-host Jim Gray asked Tom Brady if he had a timetable for deciding when he will be retiring from football. This got Brady agitated and dropping some F bombs.
"Jim, if I knew what I was gonna f***ing do, I'd have already f***ing done it," Brady answered.
Gray defended his question, telling Brady that this was the question everybody wanted to hear. Brady seems to have calmed down a bit, saying that he appreciated the question. For now, retirement seems to be a touchy subject, according to Yahoo! Sports, which pointed out that Brady genuinely sounded agitated when asked that very question.
Tom Brady Admits Trying To Trip Up Dallas Cowboys Safety Malik Hooker
While the topic of retirement seems like a sensitive subject for Brady, his blatant attempt to trip up Dallas Cowboys safety Malik Hooker was not. According to Brady himself, he did try to do exactly what he was accused of doing. Brady admitted to Gray that he tried to tackle Hooker with his right shoulder but missed. He then said, that he also tried to stick his arm out and was trying to get him on the ground but again missed completely.
"I didn't even hit him," he said.
Brady was fined $16,444 for the act but questioned why the NFL did so.
"I tried to trip him, but I didn't. I don't know how you can get fined for something that didn't even happen. Are they fining an intention? It's like targeting, and you miss the person you hit, and they still call it targeting," he said.

NFL Executives Split if Tom Brady Is Signing With the Las Vegas Raiders
If Tom Brady does decide to keep on playing, his destination remains a mystery, though many are saying that the Las Vegas Raiders may be a possible destination.
ESPN pointed out that the Las Vegas Raiders having an interest in Brady was one of the worst-kept secrets in the league. However, Tampa Bay may still be interested in him, though the legendary quarterback seems to have already said his goodbyes there after getting eliminated by Dallas.
As for the other team executives, many really think he will indeed retire next season, as this current season has already cost Brady a lot, including his marriage to Brazilian supermodel Giselle Bundchen.
As previously reported, Brady and Bundchen split after a huge spat that was the result of Brady deciding to unretire. Bundchen wanted him to stay retired and spend more time with his family but Tom Brady, remaining very competitive, said that he still has some left in the tank.
