Tom Brady rejects comeback rumors, new kitty takes up his time

Tom Brady laughed off rumors that he would entertain an NFL comeback, writing in a tweet that he hadn’t had time to even think about returning to the sport he dominated for more than two decades.

Brady announced in February that he was «retiring for good» after completing a third season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. In recent weeks, he has gifted his daughter with a new kitten adopted from a shelter.

«Anyone who thinks I have time to go back to the NFL has never adopted a 2 month old kitten for their daughter,» he tweeted.

On Monday, Rich Eisen laid out some of the rumors he heard at the NFL Scouting Combine during his show, while recounting the top rumours, which included the possible return of Brady and Philip Rivers. Eisen warned that people are «very anxious» to speak at the combine and thus generate rumors.

He said he heard the Brady buzz from «a number of people» before diving into what he was talking about.

«The number 1 rumor I heard at the combine, not in terms of much chitchat, but this one blew my mind, Tom Brady may not finish after all,» Eisen said. «There were a couple of people who were like ‘wait, just wait’.»

Eisen said he was also told to keep an eye on the Miami Dolphins. Rumors suggest the team might be willing to part ways with Tua Tagovailoa, which initially linked them to a potential run on Baltimore Ravens’ Lamar Jackson.

«Watch for that, I was told a couple of birdies,» Eisen added.
