Robert Kraft announces the retirement on Tom Brady’s number 12.

Those are bittersweet conflicted tears in Brady's eyes. Joy and pain on that face.

[@Jamesadams210]

Not sure there is any pain. What a stupid comment. He’s emotional and thinking about all he’s achieved.

[@subaru1491]

I was thinking the exact same thing

[@nunyabizznez2805]

Those fans never gave up on Tom. His departure was one man's failure.

[@scottowens8474]

Bill spoke nothing ill of Brady on this night. I only wish he had made these feelings well known to Brady while he was still in a Patriots uni, and that they could have remained together until both their retirements. That's really how it should have played out. Or at least allowing for Brady to have played every season as a Patriot.

[@marianac715]

Tom wanted yo retire a Patriot. The only person who gave up on him was Bill. I was so glad that Tom won his 7th with Tampa. Bill never won another one again.

[@AK47BLACKice]

I think it’s just finally starting to sink in that he will never take another snap in the NFL again, that’s why it’s emotional for him.

[@drummer3249]

The Goat deserves this and the stadium to be named after him

[@TheRotbringer]

I know he will always be a Patriot, but damn I feel lucky he was a Buc for that historic season. This moment got me emotional 😂

As a Patriot fan, there was always the question: Brady or Belichick? He answered that question that year.

[@DavidClark-vu3dw]

It was historical, they were 7-5 going into December and went 8-0 the rest of the season. Superbowl Champs! 15-5. What a way to finish! They beat the best team 31-9!

[@bostonwhofan]

With Tom Brady as QB, Patriots fans fully expected the team to not just make the playoffs, but to go to the Superbowl. And not just go to the Superbowl, but win the Superbowl. Man, THOSE were the days!

[@nunyabizznez2805]

Man, that dude had us thinking he could win everything, even a coin flip! Always bet on Brady and you'll come out ahead.

[@randyharris570]

Patriot fan for sure but when he became a Buc and beat Patrick Mahomes, it was great. The old GOAT against the young lion, the best beat-down I ever saw. Mahomes ran for over 500 yards in that game, all of them backwards.

[@nunyabizznez2805]

3 cheers for Kraft for saving the franchise and then making the best decision this organization ever made!

Brady is such a class act. His character defines his work ethic and excellence above all others. I do not believe there will be any other NFL QB of his caliber again. His consistency of leadership and commitment to perfection exceeds every NFL record and is superior to most great pro athletes. His #12 should be retired in the NFL period. They did that with Jordon in the NBA so they should with Brady. What a tremendous role model!

[@DanielBarberMusic]
