Report: Brady and Gisele are Divorcing

[Tunescribe]

It may not be any more complicated than Brady being a workaholic. Belichick is a workaholic. The country is littered with workaholics. I'd venture to guess the rate of divorce among workaholics is higher than the average population.

Exactly. Both Belichick and Brady are known for their work and preparation obsessions. We’ve known this about them pretty much since the joined the Patriots. Belichick's marriage failed when he was in his 40s. Brady's marriage is failing in his 40s. We've had a lot of discussion in this thread on the toll a dad and husband being absent from family and kids takes on a marriage. I've read that divorce occurs 40% more in marriages where one partner is a workaholic.

I don't buy workaholism as an uncontrollable "irreconcilable difference" causing divorce in a profession that gives you at least five months away from "the grind" every year. BUT, there might be something to marriages failing for people in their forties.

A lot of speculation and truisms have been tossed around in this thread re. what and why. I keep coming back to a theory in social anthropology suggesting that men and women are driven together by Mother Nature to procreate and raise a family. Once the kids are older (at least school age) that job is finished, after which they move on to partners more compatible for things other than making babies.

None of you care an ounce for his kids.

Of course some of us do. My sis-in-law is going through a divorce with a young kid, and my heart hurts for my niece. Wife and her siblings went through it with their parents when they were a similar age (and they were well off but obv not in the same galaxy of well off). For me, it's not hard to feel for T&G's kids, although it's ok if one chooses not to feel empathy in this situation. Lots of other problems in the universe.

Some of us don't - they've become Bucs fans

Maybe Gissele caught Brady and Edelman playing more than catch?

Quit procrastinating and get a blanket for the outhouse like your sister told you. Pretty chilly out there now, especially at night.

I heard Brady to Miami Phins next season.

Hill and Waddle. Young aspiring HC that could learn from Brady. There is already history with ownership. Supposedly Brady already has a good deal on the table with part ownership if the rumors are true.

Tom could pack up what's left and drive his boat right over there no problem.

Yeah, disintegrating relationships are way more complicated to try and pin one thing as the root cause.

His columns on sports media are decent but when he ventures off script and comments on actual sports he is a clueless contrarian and out of his depth. At least Felger can carry a discussion for 5 minutes before you want to punch him in the head.

A sports writer who writes about other members in the media.

I am amazed they keep him. He's the poster child for how bad the sports media is in Boston.

Big hearted Timmy.

Why are you all over this divorce thread? Clearly you don’t like Tom and I’d bet a lot of money you aren’t married or ever have been so you don’t really know the ups and downs of a long term relationship.

 

[IcyPatriot]

Finally, it's on! The battle lines have been drawn! Patriots fans vs. Buccaneers fans! The winners get to say whatever they want about Tom Brady without reprisal or repercussion! Let's GOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Would be great if he retired right now ... would enjoy their forum as their heads pop like acne on a teen.

 

[IcyPatriot]

Damn.. I've been talking to a bunch of old bastids.

You want any Viagra or Cialis advice?
Go Cialis and take it every day ...You need a boner ...

I wonder how trollaholics do in relationships? Does anyone even fall for their type? Maybe 2 trolls can hit it off but can you imagine the kids they'd produce?

The tabloid magazines at the grocery store check out have been running this story for years. Like Brady retirement rumors, it might eventually come true.

 

[IcyPatriot]

I think his goal has always been 50. He has gone to great lengths to get there.

Sorry if I don't worship Captain Dink-and-Dunk the way you do...

That include Ian who still roots for Brady? I'll be sad when he retires, So? Without him we wouldn't have had nearly as good a 20 year run that we did.

I know. I'm a bit of a news/media junkie so I do read his stuff. But yea, overall he is pretty useless. 1000 people can do his job.

Just Like Brady's decline. It will happen sooner or later and they'll all take credit for predicting it.

 

[VectorPrime]

“Ah hah. I told you after Brady tore his ACL in 2008 that if he came back at all he’d eventually start to play poorly!”

Or just informed reporting getting way ahead of the story. I'll bet they have complex analytics systems for these sorts of things.
