Amid the celebrations after Super Bowl LV, Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady fielded a tough question from his wife.
“What more do you have to prove?” she whispered into his ear on the field.
Gisele has admitted she’s tried — and failed — to convince Brady to retire from football while also saying she knows the sport is his “main love.” But at times, we’ve seen the tension, with Brady negotiating for more time in the NFL. And so you have to wonder what Brady had to say to Gisele.
Well, here’s how Brady responded during an interview with Good Morning America which aired on Wednesday.
“I don’t think proving it for me is the motivation,” he explained. “I still want to play. I got like a little sickness in me that just wants to throw a frickin’ spiral, you know what I mean?”
“Also, once you stopped you can’t go back and do it. I got some more football [in me.] I mean not a lot, and I know that, but what I got left, I’m gonna go, I’m gonna give everything I got.”
The Bucs quarterback will be back for the 2021 season after winning his seventh Super Bowl during a 20-year career with two different teams. At 43 years old, Brady has suggested he intends to get to 45 — and then he’ll make a decision on retirement on a rolling basis.
Brady also once said: “I’ll retire when I suck.” And he’s not there yet.
