Brady announced his retirement via social media on Wednesday morning
The GOAT has once again retired, and it looks to be for good this time. Tom Brady called it quits with a social media post on Wednesday, gracefully bowing out with a short and sweet, 53-second post thanking teammates, family and fans.
It only makes sense that the seven-time Super Bowl winner would leave the game after his worst ATS season ever with a record of 4-12-1 for the regular season and then 0-1 in the second-worst playoff loss of his career against the Dallas Cowboys. Prior to this past season, Brady had one other losing season against the spread (2002). Of course, his Tampa Bay Buccaneers still won the NFC South and made the playoffs.
The legacy he leaves behind speaks for itself in terms of championships, accolades and passing records, but he will best be remembered by gamblers for his tremendous record of success covering spreads that were often inflated on his New England Patriots teams.
