With the Super Bowl now in the books, the NFL faces several game-changing questions during the next few days, weeks and months.
Tom Brady’s merciful retirement announcement — merciful in its timing because the time wasted in speculation has been cut short — shouldn’t affect much. It was going to be difficult to find the perfect fit for Brady.

But, regardless of the breakdown of problems that plagued Tampa Bay, I believe Brady might have decided to put the hassle behind.
