Tom Brady's Company, TB12 Sports, Deletes Tweet About Star QB's Reported Retirement

As news broke that Tom Brady is reportedly retiring after 22 seasons in the NFL, his company, TB12 Sports, reacted to the report on Twitter. 

The organization listed a few of his accomplishments in a since-deleted tweet: seven Super Bowl rings, five Super Bowl MVPs, three league MVPs. But the legendary quarterback’s monumental records stretch beyond just those three. 

Brady is the league’s all-time passing touchdown (624) and yards leader (85,520), and he has tallied the most career wins with 243. If the report is true, he will finish his storied career undefeated against five different franchises: the Falcons (9–0), Vikings (6–0), Cowboys (6–0), Buccaneers (4–0) and Patriots (1–0). 

The quarterback has reportedly not told coach Bruce Arians of his retirement plans, Arians telling Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer via text message: “No, he hasn't.”

Meanwhile, several sources told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport that the pushback to reports of his retirement appears to be based on timing, rather than the eventual decision.

Regardless, the congratulatory tweets are pouring in from his teammates across the league.
