a little bit of both!

3. His play had obviously degraded last season leading to a playoff exit

in the wild card round & they barely won their division.

I believe he's done for real this time.

5. He finishes his career at 89,214 passing yards

There was some speculation that he would try to carry on until he eclipsed 100,000 yards.

He's already way ahead of the #2 QB in the history of the NFL (Drew Brees at 80,358 yards), but the thought was that Brady might want to put the record out of reach forever and put a real punctuation mark on it at 100,000.

But, you know, he did all right for himself despite that.

7. The team went south across the board after the Super Bowl win

Just like the Rams from last year to now.

Lots of injuries on the O line, receivers weren’t near the championship run, and their defense was bad. All of this was foreseeable or likely.

8. Oh, good

I was getting sick of the national sports media telling us that the Niners should sign him. That made no sense to me.

He probably wishes he hadn’t unretired, after last season showed him to be a mere mortal. The great ones often stick around for a year or two too long. It’s hard to quit something you’re good at, especially when you get a lot of attention for it.

9. He has a 10-year, $375 million broadcasting deal

with Fox Sports waiting in the wings. Even though he made a silly decision to endorse that FTX crypto company that went bankrupt, he's going to be okay financially.

10. Ha ha!
