A challenge for you; narcissist.
Why is it a challenge to deal with the ramifications of purposeful behaviour?

Tom Brady is delusional if he doesn't see why people are incensed.

A big part of that sentiment derives from his callous approach to Bridget's feelings.

Did Tom really need to need to be such tool about it?

I always felt bad for Gisele when Leo cheated on her.

Of course, it's always about "Tom Brady" for Tom Brady. Who else could it affect? Not the baby who won't be seeing much of his father. Not the baby who won't have a father to help soothe his pain when he falls or teach him how to defend himself. Not the baby who will see other boys with fathers all the time. Not the baby who will grow up having to spend time between two different homes. Not the baby who will be teased at school that his father is a SB QB who didn't want him.

What a selfish SOB who thinks the world revolves around him. I hope Bridget finds a "REPLACEMENT" for him.

The more I learn about this guy the less I like him. He sure sounds like a very self centered person. He definitely doesn’t sound excited to be a dad in this article. I hope his baby never hears how he has acted and treated his mom.

Why are people asking him about the baby anyway. He has totally ignored the whole issue up until this point. Someone should be asking Bridget how she has handled being pregnant all by herself and how she is adjusting to being a mom all by herself.

Loser Brady doesn't deserve the title of daddy. HE HAS IGNORED HIS UNBORN CHILD and he can't even talk about it like it is a real person.

He thinks this only affects him??? ONly a self centered egotist could even say something like that. What has he had to do to get ready for this baby other than abandoning the mother cavorting with his bimbo.

I would like to know exactly what is going to be a challenge for him? He is probably afraid of spending too much time with the baby and that it might upset Gisele. It probably will be a challenge for him to balance his sex life with trying to see his child.

Where was this guy 5 or 6 months ago? He is just now speaking out? He is trying to save his image, but he is ending up looking worse by his stupid and selfish comments. What an idiot. He is just another dumb jock.

Brady think it's going to be a challenge for him? In what way? The challenge is Bridget's - raising a child alone, without the father.

What a loser you are Tom Brady.

he looks stupid 24/7

Gisele Bundchen should be empathetic.

It is so hard to believe this guy is almost 30! He is so far from a grownup it boggles my mind. When my husband anticipated the birth of our first child, I don't think he ever thought of the word "challenge".

"Fabulous", "amazing", "happy", "excited", "fortunate", "sweet", "proud", "I can't wait", "I love him already" are more in line with my husband's feelings at the time. And he was younger than Tom when our first was born!

I think the word "challenge" makes it seem like a chore to Tom - which I'm sure is how he sees it. “It doesn’t affect anyone but me" - he doesn't even seem to realize that this pregnancy is affecting Bridget most of all. It is incredible to me that he is such a selfish jerk, because I admire Bridget and do not think she would knowingly date a such an imbecile. But his actions speak for themselves.

I can only assume that Bridget brought out the best in Tom, and now that he's left her, all his latent badness has come to the fore. Such a shame for Bridget and the baby, but at least BRIDGET will make a great parent!

Chantal, you're hilarious. And I agree. I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one who thinks this article makes him look spoiled, selfish, egotistical, not to mention a control-freak. He doesn't need a list for what he has planned...ditching his kid the same way he did his/her mother. I think he's got that covered. And Gisele couldn't even spell empathetic, let alone know what it means to be it. She's one of them there "smart" gals Brady likes so much. LOL

One can only hope that Bridget will meet someone who thinks she is "a big deal" and who is "affected by" her and the baby. After reading Tom's interview, he comes across as totally self-absorbed, so lost in his own private ambitions with no interest in anyone else's. How he is going to survive with Gisele will be interesting to observe, because she is just like him. Her handling of this situation shows she is just like Tom and thinks only of herself. I don't think the birth of this child will cause Tom to morph into Mr. Superdaddy. He has too many other interests that come first. He also has a crowd of family and friends that are blindly loyal, condoning anything he does, probably because of the fat paychecks and perks from him. He probably isn't saying too much about the baby, because he hasn't gotten any updates since he has taken up with Gisele. I think Bridget is a remarkable person and has removed herself from his life and doesn't keep "in touch". If Tom told Bridget to leave him and Gisele alone, I think Bridget is doing exactly that. I highly doubt Tom will be arranging to see the baby. It would be too humbling for his ego. He will have one of his lackey's doing all the arranging and arrive through the "back door" so as not to offend Gisele's feelings. He will also be very frustrated that he won't be "in control" of the situation. I don't think Bridget will care if she follows Tom's list or not. I am wondering if she is going to show up in New York for a baby shower. I soooo hope she does and I hope Tom and Gisele are in town. Tom will have to be wearing more than a Yankee's hat for a disguise!!

My neighbor, the dentist, brought home the magazine for me to read. Here I was thinking it would be a huge section with pictures, etc and more text. What a disappointment! Don't know how that was the cover.

Tom Brady should be attending child rearing school! He thinks this only affects him? How naive he is, which only makes me wonder why Gisele stays with him. Didn't she say she wants a good father when she marries? A good father is one who's there for the pregnancy, going to doctor's appointments, hold the pregnant woman's hand at the ultrasound or amnio, go to Lamaze classes, help put together the nursery, rub the pregnant woman's back in the last month when she can no longer take pain killers, be there during the hormonal changes when she cries, run out at night to get fill the weird cravings, or make some alka seltzer when she's got heartburns. That's just a short list and that list didn't make it to Tom's list of things to do. How sad for Bridget.

Casey, what you said was spot on! You summed it up nicely.

I've been thinking about these comments and I have to agree with what I've read here. I bet when and if he sees this child I bet it'll be one of two ways. Either he'll have his lackey Will MacDonough(they refer to him as Brady's 'go-to' guy, more like a suck-up I'm sure)arrange the visit in a neutral location, in private, without BM present(which BM is crazy if she agrees to), or, he'll sneak in and out of Bridget's place like he's ashamed or something. And both of these senario's would be designed so as not to upset Gisele's delicate feelings. I mean he felt he had to present her with jewelry cos she was so 'understanding' during this whole drama. Hell, what's he going to give her if he's sighted anywhere NEAR BM and their child. Of course he could have cared less about poor Bridget's feelings. This guy is a real d*c*he*d.

I agree with you guys on most things. However, Bridget keeping a baby away from his or her father is wrong. If she has a problem with Brady she should not take it out on the baby. Give the baby a chance to have its father.

I think Bridget was smart to go to the West coast during her pregnancy. It would be so stressful living in NY or MA with Gisele and Tom there, as well as all the men-spirited Tom fans and sports commentators.

I view her escape to the CA as smart act of self-preservation necessitated by Tom (and Gisele's) behavior. Since Bridget will be the primary caregiver, she should be where it is most comfortable for her and the baby.

I am sure Tom will have a chance to know his child because Bridget is not insensitive to the importance of this. However, it is TOM who had created the uncomfortable situation here by NOT being there for Bridget during her pregnancy and callously cavorting around with Gisele. He will now have to deal with the repercussions of his behavior.

A repercussion of Tom's behavior is that he will not be spending his nights with his baby because he is not a couple with the baby's mother. And as a mother myself, I know that some of my most tender baby moments were during the night breat-feeding and then having the baby sleep between us. Tom and Bridget and their baby will never have this (sigh). Even during the day, a young baby who is breast-feeding would not leave its mother for long. A baby is EXTREMELY attached to its mother during this time...it is can be very traumatic to be separated. (Of course there are some working mothers who must deal with this scenario, but there is no reason for Bridget to). Bridget is doing this essentially all on her own - there is no reason for there to be added stress by having to overly accomodate a father who hasn't cared much up to this point.

I think it would be lovely for the baby to have a two-parent family from the start. Since Tom has made that impossible, the baby should have the calmest and happiest environment it can, and too much of "Tom and Gisele" I having a feeling would not accomplish this for Bridget. I am not saying she is vindictive - just human.

I was just saying not to make it hard for him to see the baby.

Folks we might have a happy ending. Think on Tom's 45th birthday, he might get a nice surprise from his Brady bunch. It might be that panty model stepmom will get so tired of the daddy Brady that she might make a "pass" at her stepson. Let us all remember that in the show the Brady Bunch, didn't Greg Brady date his mom? Hummm... life imitates art folks!
