Typical classless Tom.

He needs to give TB time to make plans and his decision will impact his teammates so better to do it ASAP. It is the opposite of selfish. Kind of selfless.
Now is the time to do it if he doesn't want much fanfare. Those 2 games will still take centerstage and they weren't even the most hyped matchups before the SB anyways. I kind of thought he would make the announcement next Tuesday. I was 80-90% sure he would retire when he was talking about it since you don't talk about retiring if you are really interested in recruiting players to come to TB or even stay there.
It is better to retire quickly so Tampa can have a chance to move on and perhaps grab Jimmy G from the Niners or (small chance) Aaron Rodgers or Jordan Love from the Packers.
Now players like Chris Godwin can decide if he wants to stay with TB or go to a team that may have a better QB like Mac Jones!
