Tom Brady stunned the American sports world this week, when just 40 days after announcing his retirement he backed down from his decision and announced he would return to Tampa Bay.
At 44, the greatest football player of all time will open his 23rd season in the NFL after realizing for the past two months "that my place is still on the field, not in the stands."
But the good news was especially depressing for one person.
This is the anonymous buyer who participated only three days ago in an auction in which he paid no less than $ 500,000 for the ball game between the Buckeners and Rams last January, as it was presented as a ball that was used for the final touchdown in Brady's glorious career.
Xian's significant all-time touchdown milestone was presented as a coveted item to collectors and as mentioned was also eventually sold for a huge sum, but Brady's retirement, which is expected to turn another happy ball into the one the legendary star threw into the last touchdown of his career, turned the sale into Picasso.
In the United States, the purchase is already defined as "the worst purchase in history", after the TMZ website quoted an auction expert who estimated that the current value of the ball is no more than only $ 50,000 ...

Brady's last touchdown (as of today ...)
In recent years, the Brazilian model and Brady's wife, Gisele Bundchen, has pressured the football player to retire because she feared the consequences the game would have on his health in the future.
While outwardly Giselle expressed support for her husband's move when she responded to his post "We are here again", around the world there are conflicting reports about the extent of her support for the decision.
The American website "People" claims that while Bundchen did want Brady to retire, the decision to return was the family's and that she supported the move: "For years she wanted him to retire, but was also his biggest supporter. He would not have made that move without her being by his side. "Every decision they make is made as a family."
Another source told the family that Bundchen had hoped Brady would be happy with his retirement, but supports him because he is so determined to return: "She wants Tom to be happy, but is always worried he will be injured."

A completely contradictory report came, surprisingly, from the Spanish "S" that presented a different picture.
"There is no escaping the thought that remarriage may cause instability in their marriage. Bundchen felt relieved when he decided to retire, she had significant weight in this decision and the retirement was meant to save the marriage."
In the "A" there is even a story that a source from the details said that "to everyone they always seem like the perfect couple, but in practice they are always many".
"Tensions can now re-emerge," it read, "on the outside the decision seems to have received a good response, but on the inside one has to wait and see."
Brady, the greatest football player of all time, led Tampa Bay to win the Super Bowl two years ago, and in the New England uniform he won six championships in his 20 years at the club.
Last season he led the league in yards, touchdowns and accurate passes, but his team lost to the Los Angeles Rams and was relegated.
