Now-retired Tom Brady Finds New Way To Ruin Football Fans' Timelines With Unprompted Thirst Trap

Tom Brady, 45 years old, recently retired and divorced, has apparently ruined many peoples' day by engaging in a favorite pastime of 45-year-old unemployed divorcees: posting thirst traps on social media.

Did I do it right? Edelman11</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/RobGronkowski?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">RobGronkowski @bradybrand 😬😬 https://t.co/9bN6N3WbSN pic.twitter.com/3lSgRXKc0F

Brady's shirtless, underwear-clad selfie comes after some playful bickering between himself and his clothing brand Brady. In 2022, Tom Brady said he would recreate some underwear model shots if his tweet got 40,000 likes. The tweet got 48,000 likes.

40k likes and I’ll recreate these photos. Unrelated but can you guys send me some more of the socks @bradybrand 🤝 🤝 https://t.co/ANFE3Ez7Cd

For seven months, Brady didn't deliver, perhaps distracted by divorcing his supermodel wife so he could go 8-9 with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. However, the Brady brand fired back this morning that it "hadn't forgotten" about Tom's promise, so, free from distractions, Tom fulfilled his end of the bargain.

Hey @TomBrady we haven’t forgotten about this. https://t.co/mRBkqgb5Vq

It seems from the slew of reactions that a Tom Brady thirst trap was not what many expected nor wanted to see when they opened up their blue bird app this morning, and that the content of said thirst trap seemed to offer insight into Brady's current state of mind.

Tom Brady has been retired for like two business days and he's already taking shirtless mirror selfies no one has ever been simultaneously this divorced and unemployed

I thought this photo of Tom Brady was fake because it looks so… well, fake -- but it is in fact real and whew… the divorce is hitting him harder than Caitlyn Jenner driving an Escalade pic.twitter.com/q336tojWTh

Why is Tom Brady posting thirst traps. This man is aggressively divorced

Others felt Brady's selfie bore many, likely unintentional similarities to those posted by newly out gay men.

Tom Brady has been divorced and retired for about a week and is already to the posting hog on main stage. It’s gonna get weird fast

Unfortunately for Tom Brady haters, just because the legendary quarterback is now retired, it apparently doesn't mean they can just forget about him, because if this week is any indication, Brady will go to great lengths to make sure he's top of mind for football fans for years to come.
