Tom Brady sounds like a real nice guy...NOT

[lillygator]

add me to the what's the big deal list?

 

[DarthKTrava]

I'm not a Tom Brady fan at all but I wish him the best with his family and don't think it crude that he would rather talk football than his personal life. I'm pretty sure that most if not all celebrities would like to keep their life private. And not be hounded all the time by reporters and paparazzi.

She was referring to Tom's 2 year old, John, and that she loves him like he is her own. For what it's worth, I've always found Gisele to come across as smart and educated.

I remember when Gisele said that I thought it was kinda of rude. Like she was trying to claim him. If I was Bridget I would have been mad

You would be mad if the step mom of your son loved him like he was her own?

Here is the whole quote,

When we are in L.A. we have Johnny 50 percent of the time,” Gisele says. “He’s a little angel—the sweetest, most cuddly, loving baby. I feel blessed to have him in my life.” “I understand that he has a mom, and I respect that, but to me it’s not like because somebody else delivered him, that’s not my child. I feel it is, 100 percent,” Gisele says. “I want him to have a great relationship with his mom, because that’s important, but I love him the same way as if he were mine. I already feel like he’s my son, from the first day.”

It's great that she loves hiim. but to claim him as her own, when this boy has a mom is just wrong to me. Does he call her mom as well? JMHOP

She didn't claim him. She mentioned his mother several times. She said she FEELS like he is her own. Good for him for having so many people to love him.

LOL Yes, she did she said she believed 100% that was her child. It's fine she loves him and cares for him but you don't say that someone else child is yours esp when they are that young. Do you think it's okay he calls her mom as well

So what if he does? DFi's aunt and uncle divorced when his cousin was a baby. DFi's uncle remarried when DFi's cousin was 2 years old. DFi's cousin will say, if asked, that he has 2 mom's, and he calls his step-mom "mom". At his wedding, he had two mother/son dances. I don't see what the big deal is, he was raised by two mom's who both love him as their own child.

Go back and read what you quoted. She said she feels like he is hers. That's not the same as saying, "He is mine." As far as calling her Mom, that is up to the family. Maybe his mom is fine with it. Just because it would make you feel bitter doesn't mean every family feels that way.

Like I said earlier it just my opinion, I don't think it's right but to each there own

Gisele can't win. If she called him a stepchild, people would be complaining about that. Yeah, that quote's a little over the top, but I think she's saying I'm lucky to have this wonderful child in my life. I love him like my own. Maybe quotes like this are the reason why Tom isn't talking about the baby. He'd like to keep his private life private as much as he can.

Like I said before, I'm no fan of Tom Brady, but he's a heck of a football player and he seems like a heck of a dad & husband. I'm not faulting him for playing on Sunday. He's an important part of that team, and they need every win they can get. A back-up quarterback isn't the same. Not like it would be at my job--when my boss's wife had a baby, he was able to stay home for a while to be with his family. Someone else could step in & the department would run smoothly.

 

[LuvCuteBoys]

As a Colts fan, I'm all for a good bash Tom Brady thread....but I don't see anything that he said (posted above) that is such a big deal.

He joked about not wanting the baby born on a Sunday? We'll as a NFL QB, I could see where he would think that was funny.

He asked to keep the press conference about football and not his private life? I don't think that is out of line either.....

Exactly... except that I'm a Bills fan


Although... they might play better without him

 

[kaytieeldr]

It just kinda goes to show what is important to him. A birth of a son OR football?

Sad indeed.

Um, well, they're both important - but how many people, even celebrities, discuss their families to any great extent during press conferences? I haven't seen the Globe, but I'll bet the article is in the SPORTS section, not the Living or Entertainment pages. And WEEI is, after all, a SPORTS radio station.

A few questions about the newborn, fine - but these were all SPORTS reporters. What would you expect a professional athlete to discuss during interviews????

As for leaving a pregnant girlfriend, Brady and Moynahan split up BEFORE she told him she was pregnant - yet it would be reasonable to expect that she knew long before.

 

[Lisa loves Pooh]

He didn't do anything wrong.

I question anyone who feels that he did by wanting to focus on his JOB at the press conference if your DH's went to work after your baby was born and instead of working wished to discuss a newborn all day.

Anyone who claims this--well, I don't believe it one bit.

 

[Silent1CB]

He prefers to have the media stay out of his private life & that is how he does it. He was recently interviewed about Tiger Woods & stayed out of that too.

No one says you have to answer everything asked of you just because you are an athlete. He's obligated to do certain things for the team, but talking about his personal life is not one of them.

 

[bumbershoot]

LOL Yes, she did she said she believed 100% that was her child. It's fine she loves him and cares for him but you don't say that someone else child is yours esp when they are that young.

Do you think it's okay he calls her mom as well

Please remember she doesn't speak English as a first language. We have a lovely and smart dis'er from another country, and though she has a few languages (I believe) she is fluent in, she does ask for help sometimes. Talking about how you *feel* is a complicated thing, even if you're speaking in your native language...let alone in another language.

From the boy's point of view, I think it's lovely that she loves him that much. I know that I loved my friend's daughter as though she were my own. My friend refused to believe me, laughed at me for saying that...whatever, I did indeed love her as though she were my own. Giselle has been in this boy's life for almost his entire life.

Now from his mom's point of view...if I were in that position, I'd be sad and jealous and a bit bitter. But what's more important is that the boy has two women in his life who adore him. I'm willing to let an awkward sentence in a language that is foreign to the speaker slide.


And no one said he called her mom. It was a question the person posed.

But heck, the kid's two years old. At two my kid called me "milk" (b/c when he said "milk" I was the one who showed up). Didn't make anyone think I belonged in a dairy case!


It's so hard for me to believe that I'm defending a football player. But I had a semi-boyfriend whose girlfriend got pg (very much on purpose on HER part...her friends all told the truth about her plans after she turned on them), she didn't tell him, they were arguing ALL the time and they broke up, then she told everyone else, and finally told him. He didn't love her; he barely liked her. If they'd been married it would have been different, maybe...but as it was, he had seen her scary true colors and wasn't interested in keeping a love relationship going with her b/c she was pg. I've seen it from the guy's side, and it was heart wrenching from his side.

Seems TB and BM have done this with a whole lot more grace than my friend and his ex did, and I think that's lovely.

This is one of the worst threads of all-time on the Disboards. Can a mod delete this?

I have taken the time to read through every thread in Disboards history. I then took the time to enter all statistics into my super computer. After extrapolating all data, I was able to determine that this is not "one of the worst threads of all time", but is in fact the worst thread of all time. It narrowly beat out the "What will the weather be when I leave in nine months?" thread by .01567483 of a point. Upon realizing the horrifying truth of what I had just stumbled upon, I awakened my son and we have both retreated to our underground bunker for safety. Hopefully, this "worst thread of all time" will quickly be deleted by the mods before it is given the opportunity to wreck havoc on our communities and tear apart the very fabric of our democracy that we hold so dear to our hearts.

Ok, I read this and couldn't figure out what the big deal was? Tom Brady may not be my favorite but heck he IS a football player so I am assuming that his wife knew that he may not make it if she delivered on a Sunday. I am assuming also..which is bad I know...that in the end there are a lot of dads that due to prior committments don't make the birth..like military etc.

Hey, he really has done a good job of keeping his personal life personal and that probably is a great thing. I think he sees the problems surrounding Tiger Woods and just wants to keep things on a neutral ground. Can't blame him and the only one who should be mad is the wife. And she hasn't said she is divorcing him due to missing the birth so I guess they have figured it out at home! Good for them for having a private life!

When I was in early labor with our first child, the hospital told us to head on in as I was having contractions 3 1/2 weeks too early. My husband's response when I told him it was time to head to the hospital?

"Right now? The Bruins game is on!"

He had to listen to the darn game on the truck radio during the 20 minute drive - luckily, they won in overtime just as we crossed over into the next town...
