‘I think part of being a great father is being a great example of doing what it takes to take care of your family,’ Brady wrote. ‘I chose to do it by playing football.’

Yes, he is the greatest QB of all time.
And I agree with his statement above in general.
However, I think he is being disingenuous about his unretirement being done to provide for his family. He was worth several hundred million at the time. His family was provided for.
He did it because he loved the game and his role in it and the challenge. All great reasons.
But I see his ex’s point about wanting him to be a father and a husband. He probably made promises to her about his first retirement, and then he went back on those promises.
There’s always two sides to this stuff.
Tom Brady was typically off from February to end of July.
Plenty of time to spend with his family.
“There’s always two sides to this stuff.”
The “side” of the man is so often minimized by close family and friends, even to the point of being effectively denied as invalid.
The “side” of the woman by contrast is often seen, if we’re bring honest here, to be propped up with struts like a Potemkin Village, and held together for dear life by bailing wire and duct tape.
Commenting for a friend. Lol
Exactly.
He did it because he loved the game and his role in it and the challenge.
And the drug of fame, being on TV, and football groupies.
