NFL star Tom Brady suffered the first straight three-game loss in the last 20 years of his career as his father watched from the stands.
The hits keep coming for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback amid reports he and his supermodel wife Gisele Bündchen have hired divorce lawyers 13 years after saying, 'I do.'
The tough loss comes as news emerged this week that Bündchen, 42, reportedly gave Brady an ultimatum that threatened to end their marriage.

He wanted to go into the breach one last time ending his career with a bad season and shattering the image of the ultimate power couple marriage.
Annus Horribilis:
1: Losing at home in divisional playoffs
2: 100% botched retirement announcement.
3: Back-stabbing Bruce Arians
4: Disappearing during summer camp
5: Headed to a nasty divorce
6: 3 game losing streak with Bucs at 3-5 currently out of the playoffs
If you are a bitter person like me, seeing Mr. Perfect fall flat on his face is quite amusing.
The boy who refused to grow up
A man like Brady is a naturally high performer. He could have honoured his wife and gone into something else and been at the top of his game there.
I’d say their poor kids have two parents who refused to grow up.
Oh you mean like the Manning brothers.
The ultimatum may explain a lot. Men are good at compartmentalizing, but may not be aware when the compartments are beginning to break down, and may have poor skills at dealing with the collapsing compartments.
Brady has generally excelled at having his head in the game—perhaps his greatest strength. He seems to have purified this focus even more so as he has obscenely prolonged his career.
But behind every successful man is a woman (perhaps not entirely literally true) . . . and if the exceedingly rich Queen has decided it is midnight, the coach and groom will have about as much power over a collapsing situation as a pumpkin.
My understanding is that they are home most of the day. I think that is what Gisele is mad about. She effectively has had no husband his entire career.
She probably would have been ok if he had gone into broadcasting, because that means his mornings were free for him to attend to her.
From the little I know, I don’t think she is being unreasonable. She doesn’t really have a marriage, other than the certification.
You don't know if it's pride. Perhaps he just loves what he does for a living.
And as for his wife leaving...you have no idea what goes on behind the scenes in a person's marriage.
And you quote Scripture to support your judgment?
Gisele Bündchen
He’s already signed with Fox Sports at $35+ million a year once he retires. Going one more season wasn’t necessary.
Famous Giselle quote after a Super Bow loss:
“My husband cannot f-—ing throw the ball and catch the ball at the same time.”
I think he also has most of the records a man in his position can get as well.
I know it’s popular to get a hateon over brady. I just think he loves to play the game. I watched last night and he went toe to toe with Jackson. That game had too high a score to trash him around like this. He’s a great QB.
That being said... I do agree he should have got out on top.
I don’t find her very attractive.
Don't come to work (we were commissioned only) if you and your wife are fighting.
If there's anything happening at home that will be in your head while you're working, you will not sell.
I was successful in pre-need cemetery sales because I had a happy, God blessed wife and marriage.
“She just doesn’t do it for me Jerry.”
Sadly Brady decided to take the Dan Marino retirement package. Capping off a sensational career with a dismal season.
I don’t know him to like or hate him, but I see in him a proverbial man who has been on top of world all his life and could end up with nothing but his money because he has no family.
