‘I haven’t slept great. You shouldn’t sleep at night when you lose’: Is Tom Brady Losing His Sanity? Gisele Bündchen Divorce Causing a Huge NFL Losing Streak May Have Finally Flipped the 7-Time Super Bowl Champ
The decision of superstar quarterback Tom Brady to return to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers must have thrown him into doubt following his decision to re-enter the NFL. After winning six Super Bowls with the New England Patriots, the California native sealed his legacy with a seventh in 2020 with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Despite an injury-filled season, Brady decided to retire from football only to return 40 days later. The decision contributed to his ongoing divorce from Gisele Bündchen and hasn’t resulted in the level of success he anticipated. Despite his best efforts, he somehow failed to focus on his career and family, which left him alone.
In an interview, the famous NFL player Tom Brady revealed that he wasn’t sleeping well because of recent things in his life. Let’s go deeper into what may be behind Tom Brady’s inability to sleep well.
What’s To Blame For Tom Brady’s Sleep Loss…Divorce Or Losing Streak?
A Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback, Tom Brady, 45, said on the Let’s Go! Podcast that he has sleepless nights because the team is struggling this NFL season, not because of his divorce from his wife Gisele Bündchen. The Buccaneers lost to the Cleveland Browns on Sunday, dropping their record to 5-6.
Brady said on the podcast, “I have not slept great as you can only imagine.”
He continued,
“It is your fault when you lose, and you take it personally when you lose. And you shouldn’t sleep at night when you lose.”
“You should only think about what you need to do to help the team more, and that’s what I lay in bed at night after games thinking about.”
“Obviously there are challenges every year. Everyone has unique challenges on and off the field, and you work as hard as you can with the circumstances that are presented before you.”
Despite the Buccaneers’ 17-10 lead with just 32 seconds to play in the fourth quarter, Brady lost the game on Sunday. The Browns tied the game before the end of regulation and scored a touchdown in overtime with just 19 seconds left. According to CBS Sports, this is the first time Brady has lost a game when leading by seven or more points entering regulation.
Despite Brady and the Buccaneers’ losing record, they lead the NFC South because the rest of the teams in the division are also struggling. With 3,051 yards, 14 touchdowns, and just two interceptions, Brady is having a solid season statistically. However, Brady doesn’t like to lose, which has contributed to his seven Super Bowl victories, but this time losing the game made him sleepless.
Does Tom Brady’s Divorce Impact His Future In The NFL?
In 2023, the 45-year-old Buccaneers quarterback will be a free agent, so he will have to decide whether to return to the NFL for the 24th season or retire permanently. If Brady were to continue playing, would he stay with Tampa Bay or join another team?
Brady is experiencing one of his worst seasons with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but he has told several times that he feels very comfortable with this organization. In addition, there has been much speculation about his next team. It seems the Miami Dolphins are no longer an option since this organization has found a franchise quarterback in Tua Tagovailoa.
On Wednesday, according to Jeff How, TB12’s former team, the New England Patriots, should not be ruled out as a viable option for his 24th season in the NFL at age 46. As a result of the divorce of the NFL player, that version has gained momentum. Also, there is a sense that he has restored the relationship that formerly appeared to be fractured between him and the team’s coach, Bill Belichick, as Jeff How reported that the former quarterback-coach duo still have a lot of respect for one another.
