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.

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

Seriously? She's one of the most successful models in the world. Most of the world doesn't care about American football and there isn't a lot of money in American football when compared to the beauty industry.

Huh? He’s been making 10-25 million per year plus multimillion dollar signing bonuses for the past 20 years. No model has that kind of longevity

Giselle is currently and has always been the breadwinner in that family. She’s out earned him the whole time and she will continue to earn for as long as she wants.

I wonder if Tom struggles with that.

DP here. Tom struggles with making tens of millions of dollars, and voluntarily taking pay cuts, so the Patriots could pay more, for decades, to various team members, in order to have a great team - so essential to the game? He is the epitome of a leader

I mean, if you say so?

That’s not what PP means. Men often struggle when their wives make more than they do.

Gisele is still an active model and has always made more than him. Tom Brady is largely irrelevant outside of the US, whereas Gisele works internationally, with a particular focus on South America. I’m sure you think all of South America is poverty stricken, but there is fantastic wealth there and they love Gisele.

Yet, TB12 could be a model and does many commercials, while Giselle could never hope to play football.

And this has what to do with their current marital issues?
