“Thanksgiving there’s a lot to be thankful for,” Tom said. “But you only get about four hours to enjoy it. Practice usually ends about 1 or 2 pm, you eat about 3:30 and then you’re getting ready for the next day of practice. And then same thing with Christmas.”
As Brady started to talk about how little time he gets with his family, he starts to talk about how much he craves for it. This brings him to a point where he even talked about his retirement plans. “So, you know,” he added. “I’m looking forward to the time when I’m done playing football so that I can have some of those more normal holidays that I had growing up that were important where the family’s all together.”
