Super Bowl champion Sean O’Hara raised eyebrows Wednesday when he compared the significance of Tom Brady’s retirement to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy and the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
O’Hara, an NFL Network analyst, talked about Brady “retiring for good” after 23 seasons in the NFL and seven Super Bowl titles. He made awkward remarks on “Good Morning Football”.

“This is a huge moment, not just for Tom Brady, not just for the NFL, but for all of us,” he said.
“People remember where they were when JFK was assassinated. They remember where they were on 9/11.”

O’Hara commented that he and Brady entered the NFL at the same time. The three-time Pro Bowler played 11 seasons in the NFL, and Brady ended up playing another dozen years.
The former New York Giants lineman has one on Brady. He was a member of the Super Bowl XLII Giants team that upset the New England Patriots 17–14 in 2008.

Brady announced in a Twitter video that he was retiring “for good” this time.
“Good morning, guys. I’ll get right to the point,” he said in the video. “I’m retiring for good. I know the process was a big deal last time.

“I really thank you guys for every one of you supporting me. My family, my friends, my teammates, my competitors… I could go on forever. So many people. I have my Thank you guys for allowing me to live life to the fullest.The dream
