Upon arriving in Atlanta for the Super Bowl on Sunday, New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady said that there is “zero” chance he retires regardless of how the Super Bowl turns out.

In spite of being 41 years old, Brady is still getting a ton of enjoyment out of playing football:

“I love playing football and I love the competition and love competing at the highest level,” Brady said on WEEI radio. “I don’t know what’s more fun for me than running out against Kansas City in the biggest game of our season in front of 70,000 people and coming away with the win. That was one of the great joys of my life. And I think you can never go back as an athlete. It’s not like I’m going to retire for a year and then come back when I’m 43. I’m just going to keep playing. When I feel like I don’t want to make the commitment, or feel like I’ve had enough, then I’ve had enough. But in my view, this year, next year, the year after that, I want to keep playing, because I really love it, and I’m having a lot of fun.”
