Tom Brady is a PUD.

Great B movie!
Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dweller.

Hilarious, haven’t seen that since I was about 14, might need to rewatch for giggles.
 
You're the one making it about money.

He doesn't need money, and almost certainly at this point, his MONEY is earning more money than he is.

Brady is the person making this an issue, I'm just responding to it.
 
It's a fair complaint. Life gets busy
 
I’d say the pud is the person that gets triggered by Tom Brady mentioning in an interview that’s he’s sick.
 
So your take is that he should just up & retire at 47? Who retires at 47? No one I know. Most of the guys I know refuse to retire because work is all they know. I was able to retire at 61 and I had a ton of people ask me how I did it and how they could never do it themselves.

Retirement is not for everyone and I imagine a person like Brady, who spent decades in the limelight, would probably not have an easy time of it.

When you get a chance, give Lennon's "Watching The Wheels" a listen. He lays out what he went through when he tried taking time off. Celebrity doesn't have an off switch.
I know three people who retired in their 40's and they all retired from the MBTA.
 
Never understood folks like Brady who have a really good pension, really good job(s) and need to do more to add to their wealth.. why kill yourself in the process??
He's not "killing himself". He caught a cold. Schools are germ factories so it probably came from one of his children.

There isn't a single person with kids who hasn't gotten sick because of something the kids brought home.

I retired at 47. But I have young children at home, dogs and hobbies that keep me busy. I don't think I have the drive that Brady has.

I'd be willing to bet not many people do
 
The other thing about the "Brady should retire to spend time with his kids argument" is this: Brady is no longer living with the mothers of his children and likely has some sort of joint custody agreement. He can't retire and raise his kids 24/7/365.

Add in the fact that his oldest son Jack is starting college next year. Brady is past "child rearing" with him. That relationship has progressed to "adult rearing". They are very different.
 
So I looked up Pud:

pud

noun​

  1. The hand; the first.

  2. Same as pood.

  3. Pudding (either sweet or savoury).

This is the least helpful definition I have ever seen. Probably some sort of AI punkery. I was wondering if I might actually be a pud. My wife said, that, yes, I am, but having put up with me for years, she is hardly an objective observer.

Yep. The many stages of parenting have vastly different obligations. They are layered and demand a constantly evolving skill set. You start out being a hopelessly sleep deprived subservient to the needs of a helpless baby, then submit to the tyranny that is herding toddlers before you even get to anything so advanced as child rearing. Then, after several years of stumbling through that you become the village idiot. When suddenly in front of your disbelieving eyes they become (ahem) 'adults' and every mistake you made while child rearing bites you in the ass. Then, having survived your ineptitude, they reproduce and miraculously you become the fount of all wisdom while it's their turn to be the idiot of their own personal village. And for some reason not only do we willingly do this, we are humbled by having had the privilege.

Yet if we're being honest, the idea that we individually were ever entrusted with those little lives seems faintly... well... absurd.
 
Well that was a short 'break"
