adminNFL legend Tom Brady has been questioned after travelling alone to a Tampa Bay Buccaneers match – because he had attended a surprise wedding on Friday night.
Tom Brady has had his commitment levels questioned by a former NFL star after the legendary quarter-back skipped a team work-out to attend a wedding in New York.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers star Brady arrived in Pittsburgh alone on Saturday ahead of his side’s clash against the Steelers on Sunday. Brady was present at the surprise wedding of his former New England Patriots boss Robert Kraft.
Patriots billionaire owner Kraft, 81, tied the knot with Dana Blumberg, 47, in a star-studded wedding, after the pair began dating three years ago. British musicians Ed Sheeran and Sir Elton John both performed at the glamorous event.
Brady, 45, was among 250 guests and attended the wedding alone amid rumours he and his wife Gisele Bundchen are going to divorce. He was the only Bucs player at the wedding and arrived in Pittsburgh on Saturday evening via private jet – after the rest of his team arrived.
And Brady has now received backlash after missing a team walk-through earlier in the morning in Pittsburgh. Former New York Jets center Nick Mangold sarcastically implied Brady’s teammates will have taken issue with his decision.
“Must be nice to skip Saturday morning meetings and team travel. I’m sure the locker room has no issue with this whatsoever,” Marigold tweeted about Brady’s absence from the travelling squad.
Marigold then shut down one user who claimed Brady had earned his choice to skip a team meeting. “You don’t earn not being part of the team for a party. That’s stupid,” he replied.
NFL superstar Brady had announced his decision to retire and bring an end to his storied 23-year career earlier this year, only to make a shock U-turn 40 days later. He has established his status as the greatest quarter-back ever, winning seven Super Bowl rings.
But some key figures within the sport have claimed that Brady might already be regretting his decision to carry on playing aged 45 after the high of last year’s epic Super Bowl triumph.-DailyMirror.
