Drew Breesshared a touching moment after their playoff game in January, many believed it would be the last matchup between the two legendary quarterbacks.
On Sunday, Brees, 42, announced his retirement after 20 NFL seasons. Shortly after, Brady, 43, responded to the news during a Zoom call with reporters.
“He’s a lot younger than me he’s 18 months younger than me,” Brady said. “Eighteen months ago I felt pretty good, so I’ve got a little advanced age on him and experience. I’m hanging in there. He’s had a terrific year. He’s a great player I’ve known him for a long time. I’ve always had a great amount of respect for him going all the way back to his Purdue days.

Before service in World War II, before being a Texas Longhorn, before being a New York Yankee (football) and a New York Giant â the first and legendary coach of the Dallas Cowboys, Tom Landry, flew planes all around our area as a part of his United States Army Air Forces training at then Eastern Oklahoma A&M College at Wilburton.
By the end of his sophomore college football season, still stuck on the jayvee squad, Landry was looking beyond Austin to uncertain horizons, which he would be able to see from above, in a cockpit of a Flying Fortress of his own. In February 1944, the call-up came and he found himself hopscotching the country from Wichita Falls to San Antonio, to receive escalating levels of training, then to Eastern Oklahoma State College for actual flight lessons.
