Tommasse,
You are an idiot or not all there.  Tom Brady is a sleazy womanizer who dumped his ex, pregnant by the way, for a porno supermodel.  Then he kissy faces all through paris and New York and else where not caring whether this would hurt bridget or not.  He seems not to care about his kid at all as long as he can diddle with this immoral woman.  He lets his friends and fugly put this woman down in the press, and does not say one word to her defense.  What kind of man is this?  He and his piece of ass have the morals of a jackrabbit.  As long as he can get his piece of  ass everynight he doesnt care.  I hope she takes him for everything hes got and rubs him in the press but she's got to much class for that.  I admire this woman.  Well we know whos going to be raising this baby and it aint BRADY the JACKASS!!

Well, I don't fall into your category of "the jealous, the envious, the fans of teams with one ring," and I'm not into celebrities or sports figures, but this story deeply bothered me from the start.  I truly could not fathom that Tom Brady would not marry his long-term girlfriend when she got pregnant - the fact that they may have broken up a few weeks earlier is irrelevant to me (and it's even possible that the pregnancy was the cause of the breakup).  I mean she was the furthest thing from a one-night stand.  I could not believe that he was not making EVERY EFFORT to work things out (on a permanent basis) with the woman carrying his child - so his child could have the possibility of a two-parent family, and also for the sake of Bridget (and I think all this "trapped" stuff is ridiculous for many reasons which I'm happy to debate with you).

And it is clear Tom did not make EVERY EFFORT to work things out with Bridget, because he was with a new woman barely a second later.  And that's another problem I have.  Can you imagine how Bridget must feel - and the stress added to her pregnancy - by Tom cavorting all over the world and NY and Boston with Gisele.  This word may sound old-fashioned, but it's truly UNSEEMLY.  And a total slap in the face to his baby's mother - really cruel.  ALL of my friends and family feel exactly the same way, no matter their age or sex.  And it's particularly disturbing to those of us who have kids.

Not a single one of us know of someone who is beyond their teenage years and a productive member of society who has impregnated someone and then not married her.  I'm not saying it never happens, but it is extremely rare in Tom's socioeconomic group.  He is someone very much in the public eye, who many kids admire, and he has done - in my opinion - a very selfish and thoughtless thing.  Even if he was not famous and instead just a guy living next door to me, I would still feel he was a creep and I would have no trouble telling him so - and often.  And I would have extreme sympathy for the woman he abandoned and would offer my help to her.

So I guess the big deal is that Tom's did an unconscionable thing at the outset by not immediately marrying Bridget (or at minimum taking steps to head in this direction), then he compounded his idiocy by immediately running to another woman so that there would be no opportunity of a reconciliation with Bridget and, finally, he has not had a single supportive or kind word (or word of any kind) to say about Bridget when she has been villified in the press and on blogs as a "trapper" and "fame whore" and "aging talentless b-list actress" and much worse.  Silence is not appropriate under these circumstances.  He should have spoken out and told his fans and groupies to lay off - and he never has.  Most importantly, he should have done everything within his power - throughout Bridget's nine months -  to make a relationship work with Bridget so that his child could be raised in a two-parent family.  I don't know if you have kids, but it is a MAJOR plus to have both parents raising a child TOGETHER.  How arrogant of Tom to think his kid doesn't deserve or need this advantage.

Sorry for the long post - I obviously feel strongly about this one!

Well, you have opened up a can of worms on this one! There is quite a debate over at splashnews about this 'scandal.' Go search for Bridget's baby shower and enjoy the read. There are a few vocal Tom haters there who have launched a campaign to, as they say, ruin his life. They are e-mailing naked pics they think are of Gisele to Tom's dad and have posted his father's work address, phone number and e-mail on the site. They are harassing Tom's teammates, opponents, companies he endorses, etc. to get them to see what an evil person Tom Brady is. All because he fails to follow their moral view of life!

My take on the issue? I love babies and can't wait to find out if it's a boy or girl. Hopefully, all is well health-wise. Overall, though I realize it's none of anyone's business and certainly not worth the time spent trolling the Web for info to damn Tom with. I see no proof Tom will be anything but a good father. There is nothing to say Bridget won't be a good mother. People need to get their priorities straight!

I just want a fourth Super Bowl ring!

In regards to Tommasses comments, you are so totaly blind to Bradys faults.  You bostonians really amaze me, nothing matters so long as you get your forth ring.  I used to be a big fan of his, no more.  He disgusts me. Morals, two parent households, a dad being there for his child (and not travaling around the country with some model) matters to some people.  Not to others!  He is supposed to be a role model to little children, but what kind of role model does these things and still holds himself up as morally right?  He is hypocrite and a very spoiled individial.  I am neither jealous nor envious and certanly not perfect.  He has known to have a roving eye and is a playboy, these things are well known even if other people chose to not believe them,  TY

Sorry for my spelling

OK, so there will be no agreeing on this subject. Unfortunately, both sides are too passionate about this issue.  I still don't know why sides have to be chosen. This is NONE OF OUR BUSINESS, people. Really.

On the subject of role models:
I have two boys ages 10 and 3. They love sports, Animal Planet and SpongeBob. However, they do not aspire to be like Mike, so to speak, when it comes to personal behavior and values.
Their male role models are their dad, grandfathers, uncles, coaches and close family friend.  If parents guide their children and teach their morals, then our sons and daughters will not need to turn to Tom Brady for guidance.

I do have to say as far as athletes go and Tom's professional life ... I would not mind if my sons admired him and wore his jersey. He never gives up, works hard, loves his teammates, knows the rewards of winning against the odds and thrives on the comradarie a team brings. He is not afraid to cry, hugs and kisses his dad in public, goes to Africa to bring attention to the One campaign, and celebrates like a little boy when his team scores a touchdown. He isn't 'in it for the money.'

The fact Tom had sex before marriage and a got a girl pregnant is not even on my kids' radar. And since they will know my views on premarital sex and using protection, what Tom Brady and other celebs/athletes do in their personal lives will play no role in their choices. C'mon, a kid is going to say, 'I want to throw like Tom Brady', not 'I want to get a girl pregnant like Tom Brady.'

...ought to ask such Republican presidential candidates as Rudy Giuliani, John McCain, Fred Thompson, and Newt Gingrich about Biblical morality, since their track records on marriage are about as spotless as a leopard.
