"He really pulled an MJ" - NFL fans go crazy as Tom Brady announces shock decision to unretire
It's official. Tom Brady is returning to the NFL just months after announcing his retirement. The seven-time Super Bowl champion posted on his Twitter account that he would be returning for a sensational 23rd NFL season.
He posted on Twitter:
"These past two months I’ve realized my place is still on the field and not in the stands. That time will come. But it’s not now. I love my teammates, and I love my supportive family. They make it all possible. I’m coming back for my 23rd season in Tampa. Unfinished business LFG"

The post sent NFL fans into overdrive. One fan posted that Brady did an MJ (Michael Jordan) by retiring and then returning to dominate again:
@TomBrady Tom Brady really pulled a MJ 😭
Another fan posted that the GOAT (greatest of all-time) is back.
@TomBrady LET'S GO THE GOAT IS BACK!!!!
One fan posted in reply to Brady's status and wrote what else he has left to prove, pointing out that the 44-year-old has won everything in the sport:
@TomBrady UNFINISHED BUSINESS?? WHAT ELSE DO YOU HAVE TO PROVE??? https://t.co/mPIA4jBCGA
Rajpal Brar posted, jokingly, that the seven-time champ had enough of his kids and that he is returning to work:
@TomBrady Bruh had 2 months at home with the kids and was like nah, I’m going back to work
The tweets kept coming with one fan saying that the quarterback's return was the best day of their life:
@TomBrady this might be the best day of my life.
Another fan posted, "Yes, the GOAT is back."
@TomBrady YES THE GOAT IS BACK
One fan posted saying the league is far better with the 44-year-old in it:
@TomBrady The NFL is more fun when Brady playing is in it.
Another fan posted a gif of the entire league's reaction to the quarterback's return:
@TomBrady The rest of the league rn https://t.co/sXrYtByH05
One user posted that their coffee just came out of their nose, seemingly in shock that the 44-year-old is returning for another season:
@cheeseheadtv @TomBrady My coffee just came out my nose
Brady returns to Tampa
The 44-year-old will once again link up with the Buccaneers and head coach Bruce Arians as they look to build on their efforts last season. With the seven-time Super Bowl champion returning, the Bucs will be one of the favorites to make it out of the NFC in the postseason.
It is a significant boost to the Buccaneers' hopes for the new season and will undoubtedly thrust the franchise back into the spotlight as well. For now, though, many NFL fans are still coming to terms with the fact that Tom Brady will be in the NFL next season.
