Tom Brady announces retirement 'for good'
'Fox & Friends' hosts react to Brady's social media post announcing his retirement for a second time.
Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bündchen posted a heartfelt message for ex-husband Tom Brady on Wednesday following his announcement that he is retiring from the NFL "for good" after 23 seasons.
"Wishing you only wonderful things in this new chapter of your life," Bündchen wrote in a comment on Brady’s Instagram post, which included photos of her and their children.

Brady announced his retirement from the NFL on Wednesday — a year after previously making the decision to retire just to return several weeks later for his third season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
"I’m retiring — for good. I know the process was a pretty big deal last time. So, when I woke up this morning, I figured I’d just press record and let you guys know first. So, I won’t be long-winded. You only get one super emotional retirement essay and I used mine up last year," Brady said in his announcement video.

"I really thank you guys so much, to every single one of you for supporting me. My family, my friends, my teammates, my competitors… I can go on forever. There’s too many. Thank you guys for allowing me to live my absolute dream. I wouldn’t change a thing."
