In my spare time, I’ll be tweeting.” An email from a Twitter spokeswoman confirmed the account http://www.bengalscheapstore.com/renell-wren-jersey-cheap , but it also referred to the fact that the tweet came on April Fools’ Day.About an hour later, Brady sent out a second tweet that said, “Was this a bad joke?”Brady is a 41-year-old Michael Jordan Jersey , three-time NFL MVP who has to stop playing some time. But after leading New England to the title last year, there’s no indication that he’s slowing down.And anyway, is this how he would announce it?Even tight end Rob Gronkowski http://www.raidersauthorizedshops.com/authentic-hunter-renfrow-jersey , who actually retired last month, did so with a lengthy Instagram post.Neither Brady’s agent nor the Patriots immediately responded to emails from The Associated Press seeking comment.
