Furthermore, Brady and his team have been struggling ever since the season began. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have won 3 and lost 3 games so far. The talented offense has been struggling to find consistency while the defense has not played well. Recently, he made some controversial statements comparing the football season to a “deployment for the military.” Also, he talked about not having a work-life balance due to his competitiveness.

“Whatever you may say – ‘Oh man, I want to make sure I spend a little more time doing this during the season’ – The reality 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,” Brady said.
