"I know the process was a pretty big deal last time, so when I woke up this morning, I figured I just press record and let you guys know first," Brady said. "It won't be long winded. You only get one super emotional retirement essay, and I used my up last year."
"Thank you guys for allowing me to live my absolute dream," he added. "I wouldn't change a thing."
