Patrick Mahomes pulls Tom Brady away from Olympic glory even though his coming out of retirement could be real

Tom Brady might be months into retirement and just weeks away from his Hall of Fame enshrinement, but if his recent comments are any indication, the seven-time Super Bowl champion may not be done suiting up quite yet.

The moment came unexpectedly during the 2024 Laureus World Sports Awards in Madrid, where Brady delivered a comment that instantly shifted the room's focus to the future.

Patrick Mahomes acts in a way that surprises his teammates on the field

"I'm excited. The Americans are obviously going to have a bit of an advantage, but it will be fun to watch other teams fight for the gold medal," Brady said.

On Friday's episode of Up and Adams, Jason McCourty, who won a Super Bowl with Brady in New England, stirred the pot even further with a take that felt more like a warning shot.

"I can definitely see him doing that. Brady's just gonna lay down, he ain't outrunning anybody," McCourty joked.

The laughter was real, but so was the possibility. Brady's competitive fire is well-documented, and sources close to him say the Olympic opportunity has ignited something a new challenge worth chasing.

According to The Daily Mail, Brady is "serious" about ing Team USA's flag football team for the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, marking the first time the sport will be played as an official Olympic event. He'll be 50 years old when the Games arrive.

"He wants a gold medal. And what better way to stay GOAT - the greatest of all time - than to get back in the game and help your country win?" an insider reportedly told The Daily Mail.

Olympics, Hall of Fame, and the pursuit of legacy

The timeline lines up for something almost cinematic. In August 2028, Brady is expected to be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio.

Just weeks later, Team USA will take the field for Olympic flag football, likely as the heavy favorite. If Brady pulls off the double of gold medal and Hall of Fame in the same month, it would be an exclamation point on a career already drenched in accolades.
