Are you with Tom Brady or with Gisele Bundchen?

Team tom.

Um, have you read about Brady’s crazy diet? I doubt he’s fighting the one piece of candy rule.

I am with Gisele on this one. It looks like Tom is having a hard time letting go of football. It's what he's known for a long, long time and it clearly defines him. But he has achieved more than any other football quarterback. Your teammates and organization will get by without you but your kids are only kids once and I suspect that he did not have enough of a discussion with her about unretiring. Plus, wouldn't it be nice to spend more time with the one son who does like playing football during his freshman season - not just jetting in for a game or two but maybe show up for practices too?

Both are selfish, whining multimillionaires who have no right to complain about anything as long as there's is homelessness, hunger, limited medical care I this country or in the world. They need to start helping at least once person in need.

Models and football are frivolous, useless professions.

Just because someone has more resources than another doesn't mean they can't ever complain about something....Geesh.

Right? WTAH?

Plus it was kinda annoying she said it should be law that women have to breastfeed for 6 months. Stay in your lane Gisele.

She seems holier than thou - he seems more grounded.

As a parent of a child with medical issues and a disability and the daughter of a volatile mother with mental illness, I have also been through dementia with a parent and none of this would be a walk in the park with even all the money in the world to throw at it (though it would be easier). If she stays married and this season gives him another head injury that tips the scales she could within the next 10-15 years be looking at a life of hell. The press will eviscerate her for not doing enough for him as he declines. She will be eviscerated for going out and having fun with friends while he is home disabled even if it's self care. She will have a partner who not only doesn't do his part, but drains every ounce of her energy of he becomes moody and abusive or declines into depression or develops dementia. If she divorces him once he becomes disabled, she is a monster.

If she divorces him and he declines into disability thanks to football injuries, she is a saint in the press if she arranges care and checks on his now and then and stays in his life. She can find a new husband and she is still considered a good person because she doesn't abandon him.

Are quarterbacks at high risk of brain injury? I don't know diddly about sports - but I thought quarterbacks sort of do a pretty safe thing, then mostly aren't around for the rough stuff.

Tom Brady’s career is over 20 years old. He was playing back when quarterbacks were allowed to be hit more and he has already received many concussions. THe writing may already be on the wall for him.

DP. I really don’t know why people who clearly know nothing about CTE act like it’s this huge risk for him. QBs aren’t the guys to be worried about when it comes to CTE. And even he had taken many bad hits early in his career-which I dont think is true-we are talking about one more year of playing. His risk isn’t going to increase much if at all, especially since he’s so well-protected by his offense now. He’s at greater risk of hurting a different part of his body at this stage of his career.

No, pocket QBs are the ones who don’t need to be as worried and only if they develop a quick release (as Brady has). However if you have no offensive line and your pocket collapses around you on the regular, forcing you on the run then you are as susceptible to hits as anyone. And back in Brady’s early days, you could be hit a lot harder.

I fail to understand why people who know nothing of Brady or his entire career except the most recent stuff act like this isn’t a concern. It absolute is and it would be for any football player. They all have to wear helmets.

Mobile qbs can most certainly get memory troubles. See Brett Favre.

True. But also true is that Tom Brady does not seem concerned about it, and this is all he knows - so he wants to play as long as possible.

When you are the greatest at what you do, I suspect it would be hard to sit at home after that. Might be easier for us regular folks.

Well, I don’t disagree with this. I think you’re right, it’s all he wants to do. He’s one of the truly rarefied athletes where they are so good at what they do, they are kind of hindered in other normal interactions. Like Michael Jordan having to make up slights against opponents to get himself riled enough to play. His image was that everyone thought he was this great guy but years later with the release of his docuseries people could see the extremely crazy behavior underlying it.

However, it doesn’t make him easy to be married to. When your own parents have admitted they kind of wonder how you genetically got to be this way, when you are putting holes in the wall when you lost a game of Monopoly in your younger years, eventually one comes to realize that to be at his level you have to be a bit of a nutter. I remember he told Giselle when they met he’d retire in his late 30s because that’s when everyone else did more or less. That got pushed back to 45. Lately he’s made a remark or two on feeling good enough to play to 50. If I were her I know I’d take anything he says along those lines seriously and I would be extremely annoyed. I would also be angry and humiliated at the jokes of how quickly he unretired because he can’t stand being around his family.

Agree. When one is successful, people gonna talk - Tom and Giselle must know that by now.

The talkers aren't anywhere near a Tom or a.Giselle, I would hope Tom and Giselle could let that part roll off their backs.

I am honestly a Tom Brady hater, but I take his side here. She married a football player and he is running his career out. As a woman, there is nothing hotter than a man doing his job successfully. I wouldn’t want my husband sitting around the house when he can be out there working. It’s not like she needs help cooking or cleaning or even help with the kids.

LOL, retiring from the NFL won’t mean sitting around the house and helping to clean toilets. He has his Fox Sports contract and a bunch of other business ventures, so he will keep working but they can move to LA and he can work locally most of the time instead of flying all over the place week to week. And hen she can do more with her own business ventures because he will be home with the kids more.

What about him seems grounded? Going to bed by 8:30 every night for his training regimen? His $4 million Bugatti? When he said the hardest thing about parenting is being really rich?

^ obviously. My point is there is no reason for Giselle to wait in him to retire to do anything. She can do whatever she wants now. By sowing resentment in the marriage, the sex will suffer. When the sex suffers, they’ll split.

She should dump him - she knows how to put family first and he does not. It is exceedingly naive to assume that once he finally does quit football on the field, he’ll also quit being a workaholic. He’ll just transfer the intensity to another pursuit outside the family. He does not value time with his kids and before he knows it they will be gone - Jack is already 16.

Unfortunately that is exactly how he comes across whether he knows it or not. It’s bizarre that someone who is also focused on marketing himself (and he very much is these days) would fail to grasp this. Maybe he doesn’t want to see it.

Sure, I mean, why should either of them give a shit about their kids?

Nothing says family first like Divorce!!!

Gisele could hire all the help she needs. What she wants is a present husband and father. Is that too much to ask when her husband has already accomplished so much in his own career? Tom was fully aware this was something that she wanted and retired in recognition of it. To unretire, even for one more year, was breaking a promise. It would be extremely hurtful and I would feel disrespected.

This is from Page Six:

Brady has said that his wife once wrote him a “heartfelt letter” when she felt dissatisfied in the marriage, telling Howard Stern: “She felt like I would play football all season and she would take care of the house. And all the sudden when the season would end, I would be like, ‘Great, let me get into all my other business activities. Let me get into my football training.

“And she’s sitting there going, ‘Well, when are you going to do things for the house? When are you going to take the kids to school and do that?’ … I had to, like, check myself. Because she’s like, ‘I have goals and dreams too.’”
