Yeah, there's no logic behind this. He can bring in hookers every day for a lower cost.
Maybe this is cheaper than bringing in two hookers every day, though. I'll have to do the math. [Reply]
Tom Brady says he's finding it nearly impossible to focus on his personal life half of the year ... explaining he feels like NFL seasons are similar to "going away on deployment for the military." https://t.co/3ZxZWbP2jW

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers star shed light on his struggle with work-life balance while talking with Kevin Durant on this week's episode of the quarterback's "Let's Go" podcast.
The 45-year-old admitted even though he tries to place an emphasis on certain aspects of his off-field life during the football season ... he always finds himself buried in his job instead.
"I almost look at like a football season like you're going away on deployment for the military," Brady said. "And it's like, 'Man, here I go again.'"
"The reality is," he continued, "is you can really only be authentic to yourself. Right? Whatever you may say -- 'Ah, man, I want to, you know, make sure I spend a little more time doing this during the season,' the reality is, is when it comes down to it, your competitiveness takes over and as much as you want to have this playful balance with the work balance -- you're going to end up doing exactly what you've always done, which is why you are who you are."
The words appear to shed further light on the marital issues Brady is having with Gisele Bünchden. She's wanted him to step away from football for years and be more of a hands-on family man. But he's making it clear, he's having a very hard time doing that.
In fact, he said he straight up gets to the point where all he cares about in the fall and winter months is wins and losses.
"You're going to go, 'How the f*** do I get it done?'" he said. "'What do I got to do for my teammates to get it done?'"
As we reported, Gisele has left Tom because of his obsession with football ... and the two have started the process of a divorce, already hiring high-profile, family law attorneys in South Florida.

Yeah, I don't get how someone could marry a player like Tom Brady and expect anything other than this [Reply]

Brady is such a douche bag. As a person who has deployed for real many times I feel insulted by his rediculous analogy. He thinks we should feel sorry for him to go off and play football for millions of bucks?
What a self-serving out of touch with reality asshole. [Reply]

No, he doesn't. He's explaining his mentality and how seriously he takes it. Not all players are like that. [Reply]

Pretty sure he's just comparing the commitment it takes to enlist in the military and the away time from family on deployment to how he plays football. I don't think he's going as far as you want to take his comment. [Reply]
I took it as the way he said it. He's saying that it's tough to be a family man and play football. Fell sorry for me and all my problems. What fucking joke that fuckers view is. [Reply]
