Tom Brady tells Oprah he sees the end of his career coming 'sooner, rather than later'

You’d think, based on most of his comments through the years, Tom Brady has never considered retirement.

He has mostly shrugged off the question about his football immortality. Or, he has claimed he wants to play to his mid-40s, which seems like forever in NFL terms.

But there were some hints that the New England Patriots quarterback, who will turn 41 in August, was starting to think about the end of his career in his “Tom vs. Time” Facebook series. In an interview with Oprah Winfrey he gave the strongest hint yet that the end might be coming sooner than any Patriots fan wants to admit.
