Its now being  reported that Brady is heading for a divorce,  assuming this is about his decision to unretire,  damn I understand a love for the game and all... but thats his family and a really charmed life away from the game.  sure this could be completely unrelated or have been brewing for some time... but for him to throw his family away for football,  or her to throw her family away over another year or so...  I guess I live in a different reality than that.

Why isn't Chuck Foreman in the Hall of Fame?

Sometimes people make choices and regret them later.

Bummer for him if true. He won't want for money or company but it's sad for anyone to go through a divorce, especially with kids. Hopefully they all can live happily, one way or another.

She won't either but if true it is hard on the kids especially being in the public eye.

I dont give a shit about him or her... but they have kids and he is putting his career ahead of them and she is putting her personal feelings ahead of them as well,  perhaps her position is coming from her wanting him there for the kids... but damn,  I just hate it for the kids.

There could be a whole lot going on that none of us know about. Divorce sucks, but unfortunately it's a reality for a lot of people.

Maybe his career has nothing to do with it.  He is a future HOFer, has lots of money, on the road a lot during the season in cities with a lot of women looking to snag a guy like that.  Not saying that's the case, just saying it may not have anything to do with his still playing.

yeah,  I noted that it may have nothing to do with football in the first post,  but I still think any divorce sucks, but when things were clicking along fine until he decides to undo his retirement.... it seems this may be a really really dumb contributing factor.

I'm very concerned for them both financially.

I hear Tom wants to ditch the old ball and chain and henceforth be known as "Tomcat".

I was also thinking maybe she put some things on hold and wants her turn to do some other things. It's usually accepted for the dude to do whatever but not the lady. Who knows? If true, maybe they grew apart and have different goals for their lives. It happens but yeah the kids are going to go through it too.

That could definitely be true. She is one of the most recognizable women in the world and has serious bank...more than he does. She seriously might want to move back home, model again or something like that. Like I said earlier we really don't know what's behind this, if this is even true.

I think she has stated that she wanted Tom to be more involved with the kids and thought that would happen with his retirement.  But he only knows football and is so type A there is little room for anything or anyone else. 

I think he will regret this decision.  He has achieved everything on the field, and it is still the transformational years for his children.   

Just goes to show you that it is very difficult to have it all, appreciate it, accept it and live it.  Life is a challenge for all!

There is a time for everything.  TB did not recognize that his time on the field needed to be over, and to spend more time with a growing family.  He dumped his old girlfriend (Bridget) and that train has left the station.  Personal choices do not equal on-the-field decisions.  I don't feel bad for him, and will feel even less if/when the Bucs don't make the playoffs.

I think he is done after this year anyway. I'm sure there is more to the story than coming back. Many professionals spend an extraordinary amount of time working at the expense of their home.
A young son of a doctor was asked what he wanted to be when he grew up. He responded by saying" a patient, so I can see my dad".
Brady is going through what over 50% of people have gone through. It's always hard on the children. The wealthy aren't immune to it!

True that and his son with her felt that impact. It always impacts the kids
