Tom Brady no longer has to worry about enduring frigid weather conditions on the football field. After 23 seasons in the NFL, filled with countless cold-weather games, Brady now gets to sit back and enjoy watching others face the winter elements. And, of course, he can’t resist cracking a few jokes about it—especially when those games involve bone-chilling temperatures, like Sunday night’s matchup between the San Francisco 49ers and the Buffalo Bills.
Brady, who won seven Super Bowls during his storied career with the New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, knows what it’s like to perform in icy conditions, reminiscent of Buffalo’s snowy weather during the latest Sunday Night Football game.
He’s played in—and won—many games under similarly harsh circumstances, including the iconic Tuck Rule game against the Raiders. But while the Bills and 49ers were battling snow, wind, and freezing temperatures, along with players’ significant others like Claire Kittle braving the elements in the stands, Brady was somewhere far warmer and more pleasant.
The 47-year-old former quarterback, now a FOX Sports NFL commentator who recently called the Thanksgiving matchup between the New York Giants and the Dallas Cowboys, took to social media to show off what he’s been up to—enjoying a lot of sunshine.
Brady posted a photo of himself shirtless, proudly displaying his toned physique while out on a boat, catching some fish. Along with the photo, he couldn’t resist making a playful comment about the difference in climates. “A little warmer than it looked in Buffalo last night,” he quipped, referencing the snowy conditions faced by the teams in Western New York.
The photo showed Brady in peak physical condition, looking every bit as fit as he did during his playing days. It prompted fans to speculate whether the legendary quarterback could still take the field if he wanted to. Brady looked relaxed and happy, enjoying the sun and sea—a stark contrast to the frosty atmosphere in Buffalo.
He also appeared to be embracing his time off following the recent news about his ex-wife Gisele Bündchen, who is reportedly expecting another child.

Brady recently shared the secret behind his impressive physique, even in his late 40s. It’s clear that whatever regimen he’s following, it’s working wonders.
The former NFL star’s dedication to fitness is evident, and his shirtless photos show he’s still maintaining the level of conditioning that made him one of the sport’s all-time greats.
In addition to fishing, Brady also shared a video of himself perfecting his golf swing during his getaway. His form looked flawless, and the clip served as a reminder that Brady’s athleticism extends beyond just the football field.
The swing was smooth and powerful, and fans couldn’t help but notice that Brady’s iconic calves—once the subject of memes during his NFL Combine days—are still in elite shape.
For many, it’s refreshing to see Brady embracing this new chapter of his life. After decades of being the face of the NFL, he’s now taking time to enjoy the little pleasures in life, like a sunny day out on the water or a round of golf.
It’s certainly a far cry from the biting cold of Buffalo, and it’s clear Brady doesn’t miss those long, grueling games in sub-zero temperatures.
As he basks in the warmth, Brady seems to be thoroughly enjoying his retirement, showing that life after football can still be full of excitement, adventure, and a healthy dose of fun.
And for those fans who miss seeing Brady out on the field, his social media posts are at least a reminder that he’s doing well—and looking as fit as ever.
It’s safe to say that Brady is thriving in retirement, and he looks forward to continuing his work as an NFL commentator while finding time to soak up the sun and enjoy life’s simple pleasures.
It’s great to see Tom Brady enjoying himself, spending time in the sun, and living life on his own terms. And while others might be shivering in Buffalo, Brady’s having the last laugh, basking in the warmth of his well-earned retirement.
