Brady is 37 with the body of a 27 year old. He is on the record for saying that he wants to play to his mid 40's. He has an ego that is only matched by Peyton Manning (and that one may be still a little bruised like his butt). While I would love Brady to just retire at the top, mid 40's probably means 45, so he may have another 8 damn years left. His father, Tom Brady Sr, stated the other day that Tom really expects to play until he's 70. While papa was probably just having some fun with the media by exaggerating a tad, he did say that this will probably not end well in New England, implying that Belichick has little loyalty and will prefer to cut/trade a year early than a year late.
Our best hope is that Giselle and the kids will need more time from Tom. Go to it, Giselle! Dolphin Nation respectfully admires your body of work as a supermodel from a distance but it's time for you to call an audible and take control.
