Tom Brady's season ended last night when his Buccaneers were roped by the Dallas Cowboys 31-14.  After the game, Brady spoke briefly. Was it a goodbye to football, or a goodbye for now? That's what everyone is talking about today. But take a look at Brady's own words and see what you think:

“I just want to say thank you guys for everything this year. I really appreciate all your effort. And I know it’s hard for you guys, too. It’s hard for us players to make it through, and you guys got a tough job. And I appreciate all that you guys do to cover us and everyone who watches and [is] a big fan of the sport. We’re very grateful for everyone’s support. And, you know, hopefully, you know, I love this organization. It’s a great place to be. I love everyone for welcoming me, all you regulars. And just very grateful for the respect, and I hope I gave the same thing back to you guys. So thank you very much.”

Sure sounds like a goodbye. But when asked what's next, #12 simply said, "I'm gonna go home and get a good night's sleep." Do you think he actually did?

It seems unimaginable that this is the way the "greatest of all time" will ride off. But what's next is really anybody's guess. As yahoosports.com pointed out: "And yet, even at 45, in a season when he posted the worst record of his entire 23-year career, he still managed to throw and complete more passes than any other quarterback in the league — more than even he ever had in a single season."

The future is wide open for TB. Many are speculating a move to Vegas, or Miami, Tennessee, or even the broadcast booth. All we know for now is that he's headed home to spend time with this kids and take it "one day at a time, " as he told reporters. Oh, and there is the movie coming out February 3!

Well it’s official… with the recent announcement that Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen have split, Gisele has joined Eli Manning and Nick Foles as only the third person to take a ring from Tom Brady!

While Tom Brady may have divorced us here in New England a few years ago, we are all curious about who he will date next. Will it be someone who is from New England so we can get our QB back or will he be the subject of Taylor Swift's next breakup song? If Tom and Taylor got together, we know one thing to be true: their relationship would be (Taylor's Version).

If Tom is looking to set down roots near the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' stadium, Florida native Arianna Grande may be the way to go. But will he be Victorious or will she be singing Thank U, Next?

Or will Tom chase another supermodel? For years, he was married to the top-paid supermodel in the world. In 2017 Kendall Jenner ousted Gisele from that position. With Jenner single, will Tom work to reclaim his previous position as the husband of the top-paid model? While Tom's track record with models is 0-1, this seems to be the path Tom will decide to go.

With Brady back as a free agent, the sports betting world is blowing up with who he should date next. Today, I’m breaking down Tom’s Top 12 most likely matches according to oddschecker.com and have added in some of my own picks!
