New England quarterback Tom Brady walks off the field after the Patriots lost to Tennessee in the NFL playoffs on Saturday, January 4. Was it his last game? He will become a free agent in March, and he'll be 43 years old when next season starts. "I don't know what the future looks like, and I'm not going to predict it," said the six-time Super Bowl champion. When asked if there was a possibility that he would retire, he said retirement is "pretty unlikely, hopefully unlikely."
