He went to 10 super bowls in his 23 seasons. That’s insane…43% of the super bowls that happened in his career.

Nah, he ain’t gonna sign a contract with the same group that refused to give him a multi-year contract which caused him to leave in the first place.

Pat’s fan here. Love Brady. Don’t understand the downvotes. this comment is 100% legit and exactly Brady’s sentiments as confirmed by a leak. He’s not doing it.

He's on record saying many times, even while still in New England, that he would prefer to play in a place that isn't cold AF. He's from California, he hates New England winters. He has said so.

We’re talking about a 1 day contract not a season. It’s ceremonial.

A gateway contract which could easily lead to a longer contract. Next thing you know he’s doing cocaine off strippers in Dallas.

I was just trying to say that he probably doesn't give a shit about the Patriots not paying him.

That was the key to his legacy. He was always redoing his contract so there was more cap space for more talent around him

Yeah but age catches up to everyone. Why would someone rich, successful, and popular want to saddle themselves with a fading star in their old age.

Of course Giselle wanted to dump Tom, she can do so much better.

I mean they were married for a decent amount of time…

I love my wife very much. But she knows I had certain passions before we ever met. She would never make me give them up. If she tried, I’d seriously question the relationship.

Why would a good partner try to take away your passions? Maybe they aren’t a good partner.

If you’re choosing your “passions” over your wife and kids, you probably have issues or an addiction.

Except that's not what is going on. She gave up her career to have his kids and raise his family. Now it's his turn to do the same, and he said "nah, I'm too good for that, unlike you."

Honestly if you didn't realize that already, you must be pretty self centered to not see that she isn't the one who's being selfish, here.

It's always about how things are affecting you, huh? Never about how your actions affect others.

She could’ve easily stayed in her career. He didn’t force her to do anything. If she was going to be so bitter about it maybe she shouldn’t have given all that up in the first place.

WellWornLife t1_j84mkoh wrote

I must be self centered… or I just don’t know anything about some football player and his familial relationships. I can see where it is very easy to confuse those things.

I am quite happily ignorant to Mr. Brady and his wife (ex wife?). If, he did in fact have his wife give up all sorts of stuff for him in an unbalanced then anything I said about questioning care for the partner can be obviously applied in both directions. Even after reading my previous post again I’m not sure why it would be taken as if it only went in favor of a single partner, but if it was taken that way it certainly wasn’t the intent.

Zlec3 t1_j851930 wrote

You’re spot on here. The ppl downvoting you are idiots. She knew what she signed up for when she married a professional athlete

Lakersrock111 t1_j844vra wrote

He couldn’t handle both. She knew the risk and she gave him years to full fill his dream of football.

Are you a close friend? Family member? It cracks me up when randos try to pretend like they know the initiate details and dynamics of someone else's relationship, especially celebrities lol

JeffFromSchool t1_j84i24e wrote

It doesn't take someone who knows them to know that she gave up modeling at basically the peak of her career to raise his kids, and now it's his turn to come home, and he wouldn't

I really wished he would’ve stayed retired so at the very least he could’ve completely overshadowed Ben “The Rapist” Rothlisburger’s HoF induction.

It’s rare in any sport for a team to be down big in the final minutes and you still have realistic hope they may come back.

Warriors in NBA and Tom Brady in the NFL lol

FortWillis t1_j857bpr wrote

As a lifelong Pats fan, that’s the number one thing Tom always represented to me - hope. He never gave up no matter how impossible things looked and he overcame the odds. He continues to inspire me in my own life when things seem are looking down or seem impossible.

I’m sure he’ll do the ceremonial 1 day thing with the pats and have one last moment to soak up the spot light to retire his number for next season’s home opener.
