Now that he's finally embracing it, retirement looks pretty good on Tom Brady.

The former New England Patriots quarterback, who hung up his cleats in March after a record seven Super Bowl victories, has already this offseason:

*Agreed to return to Foxboro to be honored at the Pats' Sept. 10 season opener.

*Become co-owner of the Las Vegas Raiders.

*Told the "weird" truth about Bill Belichick.

*Had dinner with Kim Kardashian.

*Recorded the introduction to the NFL's video about gambling rules.

*Said he wouldn't push his son to play football.

*Stated dating(?) Instagram model Veronika Rajek.

Apparently Brady has more time in the day than us mortals, because in the last week he's added to his retirement "accomplishments."

Sunday he was spotted in the crowd at Sunday's men's final at the French Open in Paris where another pretty decent champion - Novak Djokovic - was attempting to win his 23rd major. That appearance came on the heels of a viral video in which the GOAT of football met the "Beast" of expensive stunts.

Apparently on a yacht at sea, YouTube content creator Jimmy "The Beast" Donaldson challenges Brady to throw a football off the boat and hit a drone.

With his kids chiding him with "you're gonna miss!", Brady - of course - raises the stakes on the challenge.

"If I hit the drone on the first try," he says, "maybe I should come out of retirement."

Not surprisingly, Brady nails the drone with his first pass. And then proceeds to hit another moving target - a man riding a jet ski.
