Having captured his fifth Super Bowl title in the most dramatic of fashions, it's hard to see what else Tom Brady has left to accomplish.
However, the New England Patriots' star has no intention of letting the rest of the NFL off easy. Despite the pleading of his wife, supermodel Gisele Bundchen, the 39-year-old quarterback says he won't consider retirement while his body is still capable of playing at a high level.
"If it was up to my wife she would have me retire today. (laughter) She told me last night three times," said Brady, according to Ben Volin of the Boston Globe. "And I said 'Too bad, babe, I'm having way too much fun right now.' You know, I feel like I can still do it and if you love what you do and you're capable of doing it then, I mean I'd be so bored if I wasn't going out there, knowing that I could still do it. So I'm going to work hard to be ready to go and I still plan on playing for a long time."
The Patriots reportedly believe Brady can play for three-to-five more seasons - which will put him into uncharted territory for elite quarterback play - and intend to sign him to a contract extension in the 2018 offseason.
