April Fools': Tom Brady Joins Twitter, Tweets 'I'm Retiring'
FOXBORO (CBS) -- Patriots quarterback Tom Brady posted on Twitter Monday that he's retiring, but there's no way this April Fools' Day joke had any NFL fans tricked.
It was Brady's first-ever tweet. The verified account racked up tens of thousands of followers in just minutes.
Judging by the replies to the tweet, fans - and the team's official account - were not fooled.
Wide receiver Julian Edelman was clearly not amused.
And for anyone truly worried that Brady was being serious, he followed up with another tweet shortly after.
Patriots fans might be more interested in TB12's antics over on Instagram, where he's fueling speculation of a comeback for the actually retired Rob Gronkowski.
