Gisele should stop being a nag.

Gisele knew what she signed up for by marrying a pro-football player.  Don't cry about it. [/quote]

He's the oldest player in the league. She didn't sign up for an endless career, surely thought it would have been over years ago.[/quote]

So what?  Adam Vinatieri played until his late 40s.  She married the greatest player of all time.  Deal with it.He gets multiple months off at a time unlike 99% of other husbands who have to work all year long.  Big deal, there's a trade off. [/quote]
DP. The trade off is that she’s the one that’s going to be left caring for him when CTE from playing football into middle age leaves his brain shredded like a piece of Swiss cheese. [/quote]

Has he really been hit that often? He’s a QB.[/quote]

I thought it was in regards to concussions. I don’t think he’s had many.

Tua probably needs to retire.[/quote]

They were interviewed jointly a few years ago and she stated he’s had concussion every season since they’ve been together. He did not contradict her. You have to understand that the mindset in sport like NFL has been for many decades that getting the bell rung is no big deal and part of the game. That mindset is still struggling to change in light of the emergence of the science on CTE. Football players are generally not rocket scientists to begin with and Brady’s politics reveal a certain limited respect for science unless it’s the nutritional science he is slavish about. My point being that Brady probably downplays or discounts that the yearly mild concussions he has experienced likely for his entire career in football so into three decades including youth ball could result in his mental deterioration decades before what would be normal. It’s even possible that his denial on this is part of the beginnings of his mental decline.

Normal people might have one concussion in a lifetime, or none at all. NFL players and owners seem to think that numerous mild concussions in practice and play over a career is not a big deal, but it is a very big deal. There is still massive denial despite protocols etc. - the recent abhorrent example of Tua T is perfect example. They fired the independent contract neuro doctor but not the team doctor and nobody from coaching and nothing else comes of it. The NFL is lip service on this issue, not really committed. If they were really committed they would figure out how to change the game to protect players from CTE but they don’t do that because the fans are there for the hits and the savagery. That’s what most fans want and the NFL knows it and even Tom Brady is just a meat sack for the entertainment of the fans.[/quote]
