Hard to keep track.
As much as I want to jump on this to insult the pats, I can't.
I suffered probably 4 or 8 concussions in high school alone playing a variety of sports (never in college, but then in college I played a quarter of football in a game that counted in 5 years); never missed a play/down/shift. Of course it was a different time in the 80s. No one cared about "getting your bell rung". Brady's only a few years younger than me. He probably grew up in the same environment. I'm sure he's aware of the "dangers" of concussions, but he probably has always played through them, never cared about getting one, and only really *****ed about the "headache" hours after the game.
Concussions can be hard to spot. There are "levels" of concussion, only the most serious have symptoms which are easy to notice (if you're looking for them). Half the NFL's concussion protocol in the NFL is based on how hard a hit looks and the other half is if the player seems dazed after it. Basically meaning the concussion protocol is mostly based on guesses made by the ref. If the player doesn't self report a minor concussion no one would know better unless the player was clearly knocked out or became "punch drunk" on the field.
Before blaming the Pats for covering it up, I suspect his wife probably should be asking her husband why he didn't report them. Without the self reporting aspect only the most severe concussions would be found by the current NFL protocol.
My wife told me that if I had a dollar for every girl who found me unattractive, girls would find me VERY attractive.
MY WIFE SAID THAT!!!
Trying to justify the Pats circumventing the rules is about as stupid as it gets, are most of you going to lay down and continue to get porked ?? It sure seems that way.
She's the bread winner.........she can say what she wants.

Btw nothing will come of this. At worst, the NFL will give Brady and the Pats a lecture about the concussion protocol behind closed doors. The only reason the league even cares is because they are trying to downplay the concussion issue and this bimbo blew it back in their faces accidentally.

He needs to be in every thread and accept some sort of blame.

The Pats are winners. Period.
You guys realize that hell is going to resemble the last 17 years, magnified by infinity, right? You two are going to have to watch, and re-live, every Brady vs Buffalo blowout...all NE wins, regular playoff and Super Bowl...every Brady post-game comment...etc, etc, etc...every day, all day, for eternity. Over and over. You'll probably be employed by Brady and BB as their personal Hades *****es to boot.

Meh. We've already lived through that.
Wait, maybe we're all dead and this actually is hell already!!!
No, wait, hell doesn't have smartphones.
You know, that is going to be sad for him and Giselle in coming years. He will probably and up a talking vegetable like Terry Bradshaw. When he does step away from the game he will be a broken hulk of a man.
Smartphones are an invention from hell.

This will be forgotten about in two weeks and nothing will come of it. Mark it down.
Of course. First, the Pats have gotten away with so much **** in the past- if Spygate and Deflategate and stealing the scripted first 20 plays and ****ing with opponents' headsets didn't bring them down, this certainly won't.
Second, the NFL doesn't want any negative news regarding concussions. They want this to go away as quickly as possible. Brady and Bellicheck will get a lecture behind closed doors on the concussion protocol, then an "off the record" talking to about how this is bad for publicity. That's it.

they wont be penalized for it but the doctors upstairs sure will be watching him closer..
The Patriots cheating isn't news anymore.
Gisele doesn't seem qualified to diagnose a concussion, ask me.
You?
She diagnosed the concussions, too?
This is all about something Brady's wife said.
I think everybody knows that.
