When the flame went out at the closing ceremony for the Paralympic Winter Games in Beijing yesterday, it marked the end of a whirlwind eight months that saw Canadian athletes compete in two Olympics and two Paralympics. They won a combined 96 medals in those four Games — including 25 at the Beijing Paras, which featured several memorable victories.  OK, so time to kick back and take it easy for a bit, right? Nope. Sport never stops — as illustrated by the flurry of activity yesterday involving everyone from Canadian Olympians to U.S. college basketball players to the greatest quarterback in the world. Here's a look at the biggest things that happened and what's next in those sports:Football: Tom Brady un-retired Something always felt a bit off about the greatest quarterback of all time — and one of the most competitive athletes ever — deciding to walk away with no fanfare while he was still healthy and still playing at an MVP level. The seven-time Super Bowl winner led the NFL in passing yards and passing TDs last season and nearly beat the eventual-champion Rams in the playoffs with an incredible comeback effort before inexplicably retiring on Feb. 1. Forty days later, the world makes sense again. Brady announced on social media yesterday that he's returning to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for his 23rd NFL season. With Brady back in the fold, the Bucs are suddenly favoured to return to the Super Bowl next year. Meanwhile, their rivals are scrambling to keep up as the NFL's free-agent negotiating window opened today.Curling: Brad Gushue won his fourth (and weirdest) Brier title
