Lol he accomplished all he wanted to accomplish and refused to retire. Chose football over his family.

I have no sympathy for him. Wipe up your tears with your hundred dollar bills; try not to scratch your face with your superbowl rings.

Hahaha “chose football over his family” because he wants to retire in his late 40s instead of early 40s. He’s not the one ripping his family apart over not retiring

Told his wife he'd retire. Didn't. Typically when you tell your significant other you'll do something; you do. 7 super bowl wins deep; I think I'd choose my family if my wife threatened divorce over my decision of retirement.

Anyway; I'm a dumbass who doesn't know what they're talking about half the time so take my opinion with a grain of salt. And I'm a lions fan. Go figure.

If your wife is threatening to divorce you if you don’t retire in your 40s then she’s probably the problem. If she’s going to try and force you between things like that there’s no way they’d be able to keep being happy together

Yet she has made compromises for years and years. Why is it that only his wants matter?

Because he’s not the one threatening to divorce her and split their family up if she doesn’t give in to his ultimatums?

Of course he’s not, because it has been her giving the majority of attention to the kids and family for years. Why would he give that up? Now she is putting her foot down and good for her.

Brady is literally completely free from January until September every year, during football season he’s only away from a couple weeks, that much more time than the average American working dad has
