Closer to 4. Brady is depressed over his lover/friend, branch, departing.
He's probably a little confused as to the depth of his feelings. Hasselbeck's comment about his inappropriate e-mails making Hasselbeck feel like he was dating Brady's ex-girlfriend are a little too accurate. I'm not saying he's a homosexual [not that there's anything wrong with that!], but the deep "feelings" and "attachments" he gets for Branch are just odd. As long as we can win with him, I don't care. But I don't like how his "feelings" for players are ruining the season.
I guess you can't have it both ways. His deep "love" for his receivers is what led him to such championship heights in the first place. Now his deep "love" is trashing the season.
You can only hope he falls in love with another receiver.
