Tom Brady asked about unretirement regrets

Ever since Tom Brady retired and then unretired from the NFL, it seems as though his life hasn’t been going great. The Tampa Bay Buccanneers are in the midst of a mediocre season so far, Brady’s marriage officially fell apart, and he’s been plagued by injuries and controversies all season long.

However, don’t think that the 45-year-old regrets a minute of it.

“Zero, no. Definitely not,” Brady said when asked by reporters if he has any regrets about returning. “I returned because I felt like I wanted to compete and I spoke to the team about it and they were excited to have me back. I don’t really regret those types of things — I think when I commit to it, I mean it and I do my best and try to give everything I can to this particular opportunity.”

To be fair, the Buccaneers may have saved their season last week with a thrilling comeback victory, and they find themselves in first place in the NFC South in spite of their 4-5 record. So if the team is able to build momentum, they might just figure things out and be a playoff squad.

“I think the frustrating part is we just haven’t played to the way we’re capable of playing — that’s for a number of different reasons,” Brady said. “This is a very important game for us — we have a bye week after this. It gives you a chance to kind of evaluate where you’re at and I’d much rather evaluate being 5-5 than being 4-6. We’ve got to just win this game and it’ll take care of that.”

The Bucs take on the Seattle Seahawks this weekend in the NFL’s first-ever regular-season game in Germany.
