Besides, even if he actually said those words, people would still wonder if he&#8217;d try to make a comeback. When you play until you&#8217;re 45, expect to hear people say &#8220;oh come on, you could still hack it in the NFL!&#8221; until you&#8217;re at least 60.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure><figcaption>Tom Brady says he&#8217;s too busy to return to the NFL because he&#8217;s helping his daughter take care of their newly adopted two-month-old kitten.
