Despite predictions and speculation, Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady spoke on Thursday to correct the record and re-affirm his commitment to play this whole season for Tampa Bay.

Former NFL quarterback and current analyst Chris Simms predicted a few days ago that Tom Brady could be in for a mid-season retirement amid a myriad of off-field issues alongside an uninspiring 3-3 start.

Brady spoke to reporters on Thursday and joked that he was arriving to announce he would be stepping aside, before addressing the rumors seriously.

'That's really why I'm here. I'm here to announce finally ... you guys pushed me to the brink,' Brady joked.
