Watch: Former Giants player compares Tom Brady retirement to 9/11, JFK assassination

Former New York Giants center Shaun O'Hara may have gone a little overboard while discussing the latest retirement of Tom Brady.

As shared by Ryan Glasspiegel of the New York Post and Joe Giglio of Philadelphia's SportsRadio 94WIP, O'Hara likened the Brady's retirement to the terrorist attacks that occurred on Sept. 11, 2001, and the assassination of United States President John F. Kennedy. 

"This is a huge moment, not just for Tom Brady, not just for the NFL, but for all of us," O'Hara said during the NFL Network "Good Morning Football" program. "People remember where they were when JFK was assassinated. They remember where they were for 9/11." 

"GMFB" host Peter Schrager attempted to change the subject when he quickly pointed out that Brady played for so long that he replaced an injured Drew Bledsoe during the first game that the New England Patriots played after 9/11. O’Hara responded that both he and Brady came out of college ahead of the 2000 draft but then went back to his original point. 

"I’m gonna remember this," O’Hara said of Brady's announcement. "I’m gonna remember who I’m with. (NFL Network personality Kyle Brandt's) gonna remember he was in Vegas. You’re gonna remember where you were when Tom Brady announced his official retirement — and it sounds like this one’s for real."
