‘Drinks are on the new guy’: JJ Watt welcomes Tom Brady into retirement by inviting him to the ‘retiree party’ on the golf course and tells him to ‘bring your wallet’
Tom Brady doesn’t have to worry about getting knocked down anymore now that he’s retired, but he’s already gotten an invite to the golf course with an old football hater.
JJ Watt was one of many Brady supporters after he announced his retirement this week, and the future Hall of Fame defensive end already has a plan for how he and the legendary quarterback can spend their days off the field.
“The greatest of all time,” Watt tweeted on Wednesday.
There is no doubt, there is no debate. It has been an honor and a privilege. PS the group of newly retirees meet at the golf course every morning at 10 am Drinks are on the new guy so he brings your wallet.
Brady announced his retirement Wednesday with low-key video of him sitting on the beach.

And Tom Brady hung up his cleats for the second time on Wednesday, ending a 23-year career.
‘Good morning guys. I’ll get to the point right away. I’m retiring, forever,’ she said in the video.
“I know the process was a big problem last time, so when I woke up this morning I thought I’d hit record and let them know first.”
It won’t be long. You just get a super emotional retirement essay and I used mine last year so… really thank you all so much for supporting me.
‘My family, my friends, my teammates, my competitors. I could go on forever, there are too many. Thank you guys for allowing me to live my absolute dream. I would not change anything. I love you all.’
Watt, meanwhile, announced on December 27 that he was retiring from the game, three months after he suffered atrial fibrillation, which required his heart to get back into rhythm.
With tears in his eyes, he said goodbye to the game when the Cardinals lost to the 49ers 38-13.
A five-time Pro Bowler and first-team All-Pro, Watt is the only NFL player to record multiple 20-sack seasons, both during his decade with the Houston Texans. He has played the last two seasons with the Cardinals.
The quarterback posted an emotional 52-second video on social media to confirm the news.

He is already taking advantage of his retirement golf game as well.
He hit the field Saturday with pros Jon Rahm and Tom Kim, along with legendary swimmer Michael Phelps.
‘One of the best rounds I’ve ever seen him play, I love seeing his progress. Ready for Game 2, but only giving him 34 shots,” Rahm said.
