New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady has thrown for over 4,000 yards in each ot the last three seasons and has led the Pats to five straight AFC East titles, so the signal caller isn't thinking of retiring until "he sucks."

Brady appeared on WEEI radio station in Boston and said that there is no other place he'd rather play in than New England and that he will retire once his skills decline.
"There's nowhere I'd rather play, I know that," Brady said, via CSNNE.com. "I love playing for this team and I love representing this team. Hopefully I can do that for as long as I can. When I suck, I'll retire. I don't plan on sucking for a long time. Hopefully that leads me to be in here, and there's no place I'd rather be. I love this game and I love working hard at it."

Brady and the Patriots visit the Dolphins in Miami on Sunday afternoon for Week 1 of their season and Brady said that he thrives off of proving his doubters wrong.
"I've had a lot of people over the years tell me the things I couldn't do, and I think that's always been great motivation for me to go out there and accomplish things that I think I can do," Brady said. "Hopefully it's to continue to play at a high level for a really long period of time."
The topic came up about the possibility of the Patriots looking to part ways with Brady once his skills eventually decline and Brady possibly playing for another team, to which the veteran quarterback said he's just focused on being the best signal caller that he can be for New England.
"I like working hard at it," he said. "I'm going to try to be the best I can be for as long as I can do that. Hopefully the team values that. If they don't, then I'll probably have a tough day at some point. That's what football's all about."
Brady, 37, is looking to build on a season where the Patriots finished with a 12-4 record and went on to have a successful postseason until the Denver Broncos knocked them off in the AFC Championship Game.
Brady enters his 14th full season running the New England offense and the sixth round (199th overall) pick in the 2000 NFL Draft looks to build on a 2013 campaign that saw him go 380-for-628 (60.5%) for 4,343 yards with 25 touchdowns and 11 interceptions.
Those numbers certainly don't suck, and it would appear that Brady still has plenty of football left to play in New England.
