[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Didn't Brady leave a pregnant girlfriend to date Giselle?
Not sports related of course but I would never root for an asshole who did that.[/quote]Eh, that was forever ago.  It also is widely understood that the relationship was going downhill when the gf intentionally got pregnant.  Since then, by all accounts, he's been an upstanding family man.  He spends time with his first son and treats him well.  He seems to be a good father, see incident with his daughter this week as an example. By NFL standards he's waaaaay above average.  (I.e., the league of gf beaters and dog fighters)[/quote]
I’m not a rabid Tom Brady fan but I don’t hate the guy either. But I do hate that he gets a bad rap over his relationship with Bridget Moynihan. They were together for five years and no baby... then the relationship runs its course, they’re on their way to breaking up and NOW there’s a baby?? Come on... she played the oldest trick in the book to keep him around and it didn’t work. They broke up and then she revealed she was pregnant after he started dating Gisele. She didn’t allow him to be there for the baby’s birth. I think she was the horrible one in that scenario. [/quote]

The same thing happened to Tiki Barbar and he was pilloried for it. So much backlash that he lost his Today Show gig and his career has never recovered.[/quote]
+1. Personal knowledge of the Tiki situation here... Tiki's marriage had been on the rocks for a long time but he was sleeping with the wife and the babysitter; wife gets pregnant and he still chose to leave to be with the young sitter; now his wife. Are those the optics you want for your primarily female morning news show on NBC? A Black man who left his pregnant ethnic wife for a young blond girl??

The big difference if that Tiki was a cheating coward and Tom ended a relationship that (in his mind) had run its course. Bridget "got pregnant" to hang on but I totally respect Tom for not staying with her just because of the kid. They seem to have an amazing co-parenting relationship but I'm sure Bridget is still salty... "i get dumped after 5 years and the one he marries and says is his soulmate is Gisele Bundchen". That has to sting on many levels; even though I think Gisele is a total B.[/quote]
