It's been 18 months since Tom Brady retired from football and yet the question of whether or not he's truly done with the NFL remains.

Of course, that's largely by design.

With the help of his own media company, Shadow Lion, Brady released a vlog from his recent European vacation with daughter Vivian during which he teased a potential comeback.


Asked by someone off camera why he's 'flexing for social media' by recording his shirtless workouts, the 47-year-old Brady claimed current NFL players are his intended audience.

'I just want to make sure all those young bucks in the NFL know that if I still wanted to come out of retirement, they still got something to deal with,' said Brady, who is seen launching footballs off the back of a yacht.

Of course, Brady likely wasn't suggesting he's making a comeback. 

Rather, he's saying he's physically capable of making one, which is a far cry from signing with an NFL team and going through another arduous training camp.

Brady has been in the public eye for more than two decades, but is showing no signs of camera shyness as he approaches 50. Instead the seven-time Super Bowl champion is embarking on a 10-year, $375million deal to announce NFL games for Fox Sports.

And of course, Brady also has a business empire that includes his nutrition brand, TB12, and film company, 199 Productions.

As if that's not enough, Brady has also been building homes in southern California and south Florida.

But as for his European vacation, the New England Patriots legend caught several events alongside Vivian. The pair also took the opportunity to meet some members of Team USA's basketball squad, including 6-foot-10 Anthony Davis.

'You look small,' Vivian told the 6-foot-4 Brady during the meeting.

'Oh thanks,' he replied.
