Tom Brady responds to questions about his marriage

It has long been speculated that Tom Brady’s decision to retire early this off-season didn’t sit well with his wife, Gisele.

More recently, it was rumored that Brady’s extended absence from Buccaneers training camp was not just for a vacation, but to save his marriage. Of course, Brady has been repeatedly asked about that.

When Brady spoke to the media on Thursday, he finally broke his silence. He dismissed questions about the recent focus on his personal life and stated that he was used to it.

“It’s been like this for a long time,” said Brady, per FOX NFL insider Sara Walsh.

Tom Brady may be used to it, but the wider football world isn’t quite ready for it yet. It was Brady who retired before retiring so quickly that Brett Favre’s head would spin.

Brady has also made it clear throughout his career that Gisele plays no insignificant role in major life decisions – playing in the NFL into the mid-40s is certainly one of them.

But we can’t see what’s going on between Brady and Gisele behind the scenes and it’s probably not appropriate to constantly bother the guy about it.

That said, if Brady doesn’t look like himself on the football field, the questions will keep coming anyway.
