Luckily for Smith, he got a massive story this morning. Below, you can see that Tom Brady revealed that he would be retiring from football. Although some thought he would return, Brady ultimately decided to call it quits.

“I know the process was a pretty big deal last time, so when I woke up this morning, I figured I’d just press record and let you guys know first,” Brady said. “I won’t be longwinded. You only get one super emotional retirement essay, and I used mine up last year, so really thank you guys so much to every single one of you for supporting me.”

“He’ll be remembered as the greatest ever. … You don’t just talk about him as a football player, you talk about him as a leader,” Smith said.
