Surprise! In what could be the shortest retirement in the history of humankind, Tom Brady is now unpacking his box probably labeled “Old NFL Stuff” to return to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The GOAT made the shocking decision on Sunday night, just 40 days after announcing he will bid the NFL adieu. While the fans of the Buccaneers are surely jumping in jubilation right now, Brady's unretirement also drew a lot of hilarious takes on Twitter.
The posts of Twitter superstar Josiah Johnson alone were absolutely better than winning a lottery ticket.

But of course, others also stepped up their meme game. After all, Brady would be disappointed if not everyone gave their all-out effort.

One guy perfectly theorized the single reason the 44-year-old Brady decided to return to the NFL: The rising fuel prices.
Damn, even Tom Brady saw 7.9% inflation and record-high gas prices and decided he needed to go back to work.

Other clever takes were also aplenty because as we all know, NFL Twitter is undefeated.
Tom Brady just snatched March Madness away from twitter.

Tom Brady went 41 days listening to his wife tell stories about her day and decided he’d rather further the possibility of permanent brain damage

Remember that time Tom Brady led the NFL in passing yards and touchdown passes at the age of 44?

With all the recent frenzy in the offseason, Brady announcing he is returning for the Buccaneers arguably stands out the most. It's a little funny to think that even when the season is on a break, the seven-time Super Bowl still finds ways to trump his contemporaries like Aaron Rodgers and Russell Wilson, who both also recently made critical decisions on their future.
The NFL, it is fun.
Unless you're Gisele Bundchen.
