For the second time in the past year, it's time to say goodbye to the greatest football player of all time. After a disappointing showing with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this season, there was plenty of speculation that Tom Brady would hang up his cleats.

He did just that on Wednesday morning, announcing that he has officially retired from the game. He does so with seven Super Bowl wins to his name.

Brady is the GOAT and he'll be missed by the NFL community as a whole. With his incredible career coming to a close, there's no question that the next stop will be Canton and the Pro Football Hall of Fame down the road.
