Things got so bad Bundchen allegedly visited a divorce attorney. "Tom's become very nasty and irritable and started acting out on her," a source claimed. The mag said the couple was having "intense fights" following the announcement of Brady's four-game suspension for his alleged minor role in deflating footballs for competitive advantage. Deflategate has just plain "aged poorly," according to ESPN's Kevin Seifert, who wrote, "At best, it was a relatively minor rules violation that no rational person would link to the Patriots' victory two weeks later in Super Bowl XLIX." A 2021 documentary Four Games in Fall further dogged the NFL, suggesting (via Yahoo!) that the league ignored science and "used biased investigators, manipulated evidence and an effective, if pathetic, misinformation campaign to railroad Brady." The air has come out of this story, but as we'll see, whatever the merits, it was devastating to Brady personally. Brady earned a four-game suspension for this grievous crime and his team was fined $1,000,000, and lost several draft picks.īrady has made four Super Bowl appearances since he got caught in this supposed scheme. The scandal was dubbed "Deflategate." The NFL's investigation found that Brady was "at least generally aware" of team staff's efforts to use balls with lower PSI levels than the league mandated during the 2015 season. With those savings, you could invest in wife Gisele's Bundchen's $700 coffee table book. You can save yourself the $200 and nab the recipe from, who re-printed it, pointing out how TB12 blurred out the details when promoting it on Facebook. Every second blue moon, however, Brady goes wild and enjoys some ice cream - but not actual ice cream, obviously - TB12 avocado ice cream, which he even shared with reporters on his 40th birthday, according to NFL.com. His personal chef told the quarterback eats 80% vegetables, but because reasons, he shuns two very commonly used pieces of produce: mushrooms and tomatoes. The covers are made from natural wood with a laser-etched TB12 logo and title." In other words, it's a book.īrady's own diet is famously fastidious. and, according to Brady's website (via CBS Sports), is "printed on thick 100-pound text paper.
TB12 describes this book as a "living document" that can be continually amended - in other words, it contains paper. Nutritional supplements and FTC regulation, and all those types of things, there are a lot of gray areas." To the reported dismay of Pats coach Bill Belichick, Brady even reportedly forced The New England Patriots to employ Guerrero, despite what Forbes described as "his disgusting history of deception." Perhaps the worst: he was sued by the Federal Trade Commission in 2004 for selling a fraudulent cancer treatment complete with fabricated research detailing miraculous recoveries that reportedly never happened.Īlthough it seems like scamming terminal cancer patients would be enough to get Brady to drop-step and pivot away from Guerrero, the QB instead vociferously defended this alleged con man during an interview with WEEI Sports Radio Network (via Forbes) "I mean, that's part of his life and that's something that happened 13 years ago. Guerrero's various schemes are well documented. As a result, Guerrero runs the quarterback's questionable TB12 Sports Therapy Center, according to the Boston Globe. Set, hut, hike!īrady is big into holistic healing and has come "under Guerrero's spell," again says Boston. So don't let the skinny-fat physique or megawatt smile fool you, this man is ruthless, and if he wasn't, he wouldn't be so damn good. He's the kind of guy who gets you down on the scoreboard, and then cooly steps on your throat to finish you off. But that's because Brady's outlier ability is inside. Never mind he's 6'4" and has a rocket for an arm, he just didn't look like an athlete - on paper. His unimpressive build and glacially slow 40-yard dash had NFL scouts overlooking a then 22-year old kid from San Mateo, Calif., according to the Boston Globe. He wasn't even a hot prospect coming out of college. His is appetite to win is insatiable, and in those rare instances he doesn't, you can spot him pacing the sideline giving everybody a piece of his mind.Įverything about Brady is unusual. Where mere mortals crumble when everything is on the line, Brady cooly winds up and delivers, time and time again. Tom Brady just isn't like other humans, and he's spent his entire life proving it.
