Today, the legendary Tom Brady announced his retirement from the NFL… Stop us if this sounds familiar. It seems like this is the real retirement announcement from the GOAT, even though he didn’t leave us with a long winded speech, we think he is serious this time. So in honor of the GOAT’s second retirement, we want to reminisce on all of his great times here in Tampa. These are our favorite Tom Brady memories.

Obviously we’re forever grateful that Tom chose Tampa to be the second and only other NFL team he would play for. His first year as a Buccaneer came with a Super Bowl trophy that was won at home, along with some amazing boat parade memories. Seriously, who could ever forget the legendary Lombardi trophy toss. We also loved to see his personality step out more during his time in Tampa. His armchair QB segment with the Bucs showed his humor and personality like we’ve never seen it.

Here are some other Tom Brady memories we’re grateful for
