Even though Tom Brady announced his retirement from the NFL several months ago, there continues to be plenty of speculation that the future Hall of Fame quarterback could still come out of retirement to play in the NFL again, just like he did the first time he retired. But he shut down all that talk this week.

During an interview with Robin Lundberg of Sports Illustrated, Tom Brady made it clear that he is retired and is not coming back to the NFL.

“I’m certain I’m not playing again,” Brady said. “So, I’ve to make that clear. I hate to continue to profess that because I’ve already told people that lots of times. I’m looking forward to my broadcasting job with Fox next year, I’m looking forward to the opportunity ahead with the Raiders and we’re in the process of that.”

“Along with the other different things that I’m a part of professionally and in my personal life. Just spending as much time with my kids as I can and seeing them grow up and support the different things that they have going on. That’s an important job. And I take them all pretty seriously,” Brady continued.

It’s a major announcement from Brady given the continued speculation, and the NFL world had plenty to say about it on Twitter.

It’s a pretty clear and blunt message from Brady that should silence the doubters.
