FRISCO - Tom Brady - a year to the day of his last retirement - says he’s retiring.

Again. Today.

And this time, the greatest QB of all time insists - with a self-effacing acknowledgment of how he "unretired'' last spring - he’s not going to change his mind.

“Good morning, guys,'' Brady said in an early morning Wednesday video. "I’ll get to the point right away: I’m retiring for good. I know the process was a pretty big deal last time, so when I woke up this morning I figured I’d just press record and let you guys know first. So I won’t be long-winded. I think you only get one super emotional retirement essay, and I used mine up last year. So, really, thank you guys, so much, to every single one of you, for supporting me. 

"My family, my friends, teammates, my competitors, I could go on forever, there’s too many. Thank you, guys, for letting me live my absolute dream. I wouldn’t change a thing. Love you all.”

One of those "competitors,'' of course, was the Dallas Cowboys, who had been 0-7 lifetime in opposing Brady, both from his time with the New England Patriots and in the latter seasons of the 45-year-old QB ... 0-7, that is, until this year's first round of the NFL playoffs, when Dallas finally registered a victory against Brady, who retires as arguably the greatest player in NFL history, having quarterbacked his teams to an unprecedented seven Super Bowl titles.

Micah Parsons labeled Brady "a superhero who is trying to kill you.'' And Brady did that a lot to Dallas.

Dak Prescott once famously said following a Cowboys loss to Brady, "We'll see you again.''

And now - except on TV, where Brady has a prearranged deal to work for FOX Sports - we won't see him, on the field, again.
