New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady said he would play football "as long as I'm still loving it," but sees his retirement getting closer, in an interview with Oprah Winfrey that aired on Sunday.
"I think about it more now than I used to," Brady said. "I think I'm seeing that there's definitely an end coming, sooner rather than later."
After Winfrey asked if that would mean age 43 or age 45, Brady, who turns 41 in August, said: "As long as I'm still loving it.
"As long as I'm loving the training and preparation and willing to make the commitment.
"I do have kids that I love, and I don't want to be a dad that's not there driving my kids to their games.
"I think my kids have brought a great perspective in my life, because kids just want the attention.
"You better be there and be available to them, or else they're going to look back on their life and go, 'Dad didn't really care that much.'"
