Like a redheaded stepchild Tom Brady’s first son, John, is getting the proverbial shaft. It may not be the last time either.
The media is all abuzz with the announcement of Brady’s girlfriend, the uber gorgeous Gisele Bündchen’s, pregnancy. When asked about his impending fatherhood, Brady told ESPN, “It couldn’t be harder than this training camp, so I’ll be prepared.”
What?! You would think Brady would already be prepared due to the fact that he’s been a father for the last two years. Brady’s ex-girlfriend Bridget Moynahan gave birth to little John Edward Thomas Moynahan in August of 2007, about nine months after Brady intentionally grounded their relationship.
While Moynahan is gracious in her discussion of attractive NFL quarterbacks, I find it hard to understand why Brady isn’t acknowledging his first child when discussing his soon to be second, and why the media is so hung up on this pregnancy. I realize Gisele is freakishly attractive and that Brady isn’t exactly hard to look at either, so presumably their baby will also be disgustingly cute, but Bridgette Moynahan didn’t exactly fall out of the ugly tree either.
Rather than jumping aboard the media bandwagon, Brady should be recognizing his first son and reflecting on how he will welcome his new child into two separate families: that of his and Giselle and the other family he left behind.
