VIDEO: Tom Brady Made It Clear He Was Done With The Tampa Bay Buccaneers During Postgame Press Conference
It's safe to say that this is not what Tom Brady came back for. A 31-14 blowout loss to the Dallas Cowboys in a wild-card round the Tampa Bay Buccaneers barely qualified for and a final record of eight wins and ten losses, counting this one, was not what he had in mind when he ended his short-lived retirement last spring.
It was just the third time in his 23-year career that he lost in the opening round of the postseason.
In his post-game press conference, the greatest football player of all time pretty much hinted that he wouldn't be back with Tampa Bay next year.
"I'm gonna go home and get a good night's sleep -- as good as I can tonight," Brady said, adding that he has no timetable for making a decision. "This has been all I've focused on -- this game. It'll just be one day at a time. Truly."
Here's what Brady had to say in his post-game press conference to reporters, per Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk:
«I just want to say thank you guys for everything this year. I really appreciate all your effort. And I know it's hard for you guys, too. It's hard for us players to make it through, and you guys got a tough job. And I appreciate all that you guys do to cover us and everyone who watches and [is] a big fan of the sport. We're very grateful for everyone's support. And, you know, hopefully, you know, I love this organization. It's a great place to be. I love everyone for welcoming me, all you regulars. And just very grateful for the respect, and I hope I gave the same thing back to you guys. So thank you very much.»
