It wasn't all that long ago a person would be hard pressed to find an article dissing Tom Brady. Even in towns of rival teams. You rarely heard any gossip involving him. Just mention of a sighting via the Inside Track or NY Post. Every once in a while he could be found at an opening with his actress GF Bridget Moynahan. He could walk down the street, eat in a restaurant, go bowling, see a movie & golf with little or no fanfare. He was glorified as a genuine 'nice guy'. The proverbial boy-next-door. Indeed he came across to the casual observer as somewhat shy. And keep in mind that this would have described him as recently as last fall. That Tom Brady seems to no longer exist.

He has been replaced by a cocky, petulant, selfish, bonified celebrity. In just a matter of 7 months he has dumped his GF of 3 years, become an expectant father to that same woman, taken up with an international model(who seems to share his penchant for selfishness), distanced himself from his supposedly close family, and become a jetsetter. And for the first time since joining the NFL, he does not eat, drink and sleep football. What does all of this mean for the New England Patriot's? Let's just say it does not seem to bode well for them.  Oh sure, the Kraft image machine is in full on alert for Brady. Assuring us all that he's right there, working hard. But I disagree. He is here, there and everywhere with this model he seems gobsmacked by. But there have been very few sightings of him in Boston. In the past seven years he would be totally geared up by this point. Studying films and the play book, immersed in deep discussions with the coaching staff, mixing it up with his teammates. Bonding with the rookies. NONE of that is taking place this off-season. Every time we see or hear of him he is in photos gazing adoringly at Bundchen. I mean WTF?  This is nuts. Add to that something that noone, including Brady himself, wants to address head on...The pending birth of his first child by his estranged ex GF. On the west coast. Hey, let me be the first to go out on a limb here. I don't think he wants anything to do with this kid. He not only doesn't display any of the usual joy most new dads-to-be feel, he also seems angry. Very angry. At Moynahan AND the unborn child. As far as we know he has not involved himself in anything to do with the pregnancy. I'm sorry, but that is not normal behavior for a man like we thought Brady to be. So here's the crux of it. If I'm right and he wants nothing to do with this child, that's pretty much tough noogies. His fans and the Boston press may turn a blind eye to dumping one GF for another(even though the former is pregnant), but a baby is a different ballgame altogether. He will be expected to fawn over this infant. The same fans and press will crucify him if he doesn't. Everyone loses it over a cute baby. So even though the exact date is not known by the public, by the looks of her recent pics it's not too far off. Pre-season starts soon. If he stays to play instead of attending the birth of his first child...he's toast. If he goes, most likely his spoiled, self-centered model isn't gonna be too pleased. And right now she seems to be all he thinks about. Which raises another point. Presumably, as soon as he starts practicing for the pre-season, he should be completely immersed in the goal of reaching and winning a fourth SB. That's roughly 7 months. No more time for his needy model. Come on, we all know what it's like. She's not used to be ignored. Her ex(and supposed love of her life)Leo D, is in NYC filming. Then he'll be in Los Angelas while she's filming her movie with Tom Hanks. It's not like he can trust her. This all translates into a doomed bid for a Super Bowl win. Mark my words. Just remember where you read it folks.
