Tom Brady - English
For much of the past year, NFL legend Tom Brady has been in the public spotlight not only for his retirement and broadcasting transition but also for his high-profile breakup with supermodel Gisele Bündchen. The separation, after 13 years of marriage, undoubtedly marked a difficult personal chapter for the seven-time Super Bowl champion. However, a recent event has brought a genuine smile back to Brady’s face – one that involves a longtime friend and former teammate.
Julian Edelman, the gritty wide receiver who was an integral part of the New England Patriots‘ dynasty, was inducted into the Patriots Hall of Fame. As news of Edelman’s honor broke, Brady took to social media with a brief yet powerful message: “You deserve it.” The three words, simple but heartfelt, signaled Brady’s deep admiration for his close friend and their shared journey.
Brady and Edelman‘s bond was forged through years of on-field triumphs and off-field camaraderie. Together, they created countless unforgettable moments, including three Super Bowl titles. More than just teammates, the two developed a brotherhood that extended beyond football.
Brady finds emotional lift in Edelman’s milestone
It’s no surprise that Edelman’s induction brought joy to Brady. With Gisele now publicly moving on and Brady adjusting to post-NFL life, the emotional weight of recent changes has been evident. But celebrating Edelman’s achievement gave him a meaningful distraction – a reminder of the enduring relationships that football gifted him.
Brady, known for his fierce competitiveness, has always valued loyalty and friendship, and Edelman represents both. In a time when personal headlines often overshadow his legacy, Brady has leaned into these deep connections. It’s clear that honoring his friend has sparked a sense of happiness – one rooted in pride, nostalgia, and brotherhood.
As Brady continues to redefine his life after football and after Gisele, the celebration of Edelman‘s career might just be the kind of emotional touchdown he needed.

Already set up to struggle, MLS Cup champion LA Galaxy are snakebitten, too
When the LA Galaxy take the field against the New York Red Bulls on Saturday evening, it will have been 154 days since the two MLS originals squared off in last year’s MLS Cup final.The Galaxy won that game, 2-1, returning to their place as the most decorated club in league history.That remains the last MLS game LA has won.AdvertisementThe Galaxy made MLS history last weekend when they lost to Sporting Kansas City 1-0 without giving up a shot. Not a shot on goal. Any sort of shot. The lone tally in the game came off an own goal from defender Maya Yoshida. It sent LA spiraling to an 11th consecutive game without a win to start the season (0-8-3, three points), another MLS record.“When it rains, it f—ing pours, man,” LA goalkeeper John McCarthy said. “You’ve got to figure […]
Michigan sign-stealing scandal should leave a mark, even if college sports has bigger problems
Yes, we’re all sick of hearing about the Michigan sign-stealing scandal that made a celebrity of Connor Stalions, an NFL coach again (on a show cause) of Jim Harbaugh and a successor trying to pick and choose his future suspension dates in Sherrone Moore.But see, when cheating is clear and brazen — and it’s the kind that actually impacts competition, not the kind that leaves a kid with a bus ticket or too much cream cheese on his bagel — the annoyance of a drawn-out, public saga is a price worth paying. It should result in meaningful punishment, and the final word on that is due soon from the NCAA.AdvertisementIt should buy some level of deterrence, so we have fewer of these to endure. That’s the idea, anyway. It’s worth a shot, I say, and would expect all but Wolverines […]
Did the Blues’ second-half surge and playoff appearance put an end to their retool?
ST. LOUIS — If the St. Louis Blues’ season had finished the way it was heading in February, the tone of the team’s interviews Tuesday at Enterprise Center could have been much darker.The Blues were playing at a .491 points percentage and were projected to miss the playoffs for the third straight season.AdvertisementThe majority of the sentiment would have been that it’s time for a rebuild and that significant changes with the core were a must.Instead, the Blues played at a .788 points percentage after the 4 Nations Face-Off, qualified for the postseason and took the Presidents’ Trophy-winning Winnipeg Jets to Game 7, where they experienced an excruciating end with a 4-3 loss in double overtime.The run was mighty impressive and undoubtedly changed fans’ perception about the franchise’s future heading into the 2025-26 season.But how much did it alter the […]
Jordy Bahl’s Nebraska homecoming has been ‘incredible’ — now it’s time for a postseason run

49ers rookie Marques Sigle eager for a new audience to get to know his name
He didn’t have a lot of followers back then, but Marques Sigle took to what was then known as Twitter on Jan. 7, 2023, to let everyone out there know. And … maybe the former reserve cornerback for North Dakota State was telling himself something, with a nudge, as well. If you didn’t know my name, you will soon!!! pic.twitter.com/EbVmsmYA9h — Marques Sigle (@MarMar1k30) January 7, 2023Sigle had entered the transfer portal a month and a half earlier, just as North Dakota State’s regular season ended. He sat out of the FCS playoffs as the Bison tried to make a run at a second straight national championship — they lost in the title game to South Dakota State — and transferred to Kansas State in December. After not starting a game in three seasons at North Dakota State, he made […]
Why did concussion spotters miss Anthony Stolarz’s head injury in Game 1?
The process for pulling an NHL player from a game due to a potential concussion is complex.The league introduced concussion spotters during the 2015-16 season as part of its initial concussion protocols, but over time, the way those spotters interact with events on the ice has evolved.While it was initially on team employees to flag and pull players from games, the NHL later introduced neutral spotters at the league offices in New York and in arenas around the league.AdvertisementThe centralized league spotters are certified athletic trainers or therapists with hockey experience. They’re based remotely at the Department of Player Safety offices and mandated to look out for signs of concussion in games, such as players lying motionless on the ice, displaying coordination or balance problems, giving blank or vacant looks, getting up slowly or clutching their head.It’s up to those remote […]
