![]() ![]() Because I'm giving up mine." Now, it just doesn't seem to be the case. The man once said, "If you're gonna compete against me, you better be willing to give up your life. Again, something like that can't be ruled out. or two of the greatest QBs ever will tap into that next level and deliver a classic. In what was expected to be a marquee matchup of the aerial assaults of Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers this coming Sunday afternoon, the game might better resemble a grind-it-out game that's won and lost on the ground. The playoffs are a given, and if the receiving corps is healthy by then, you'd be a brave person to bet against them in January.īut Brady is off to one of the quietest starts of his career, with just 402 passing yards and two touchdowns (with one pick) through two games. The Bucs are 2-0, comfortably sitting atop a division where nobody should even come close to competing with them this year. Technically, none of that has mattered in the standings. Who knows? Add it to the pile of weirdness. (Both could be true!) Whatever the case, Brady was at practice on Wednesday this week, despite Todd Bowles acknowledging that the QB would be getting veteran rest days each week. That either means something has fundamentally changed with Brady's psychotic dedication to football, or that Blaine Gabbert is the least threatening backup Brady has ever had. Now he's supposedly giving up whole days. The way he got his starting opportunity has always stuck with him, so he's always been a maniac when it's come to even giving up practice snaps to his backups. Despite being the greatest of all time, he's always carried himself like someone who could lose his job at a moment's notice.

Everything about Brady has been off this year, from his hasty Instagram retirement, to his equally hasty unretirement, to the odd Bruce Arians situation (if you believe any of what Brady/Arians/the Bucs sold on that story, I've got some healing crystals to sell you), to the serious flirtation with a front office/ownership role with the Miami Dolphins, to the long training camp absence, to the admission that he's feeling a lot more sore than he ever has (speaking of healing crystals, is Brady not selling magical healing pajamas anymore?), the man just seems. Whether it was cursing the heavens above because Scott Miller fell over. Certainly, it wasn't the first time that Brady's had emotional outbursts on the field and the sidelines, but rarely do those temper tantrums come to define his entire day of work. If you watched him shout and scream his way through a miserable victory in New Orleans last weekend, then this certainly does not come as news. So, leaving all of the reporting and gossiping about his marriage aside, we can say this about Tom Brady the football player: Everything about him right now is weird. There are certain elements that - from a sports consumer/observer standpoint - just make it an uncomfortable endeavor. I don't necessarily agree.Ĭoming at it from a sports media standpoint, there's only so far you can go before you've gone full-on tabloid. ![]() BOSTON - As an international celebrity, bridegroom of a supermodel, millionaire pitchman, and hoarder of Super Bowl trophies, Tom Brady has more or less said that his personal life becoming public fodder is more or less fair game. ![]()
