Tom Brady’s post on ‘falling short again and again’ sparks buzz amid Gisele Bundchen pregnancy, NFL woes

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Tom Brady has sparked speculation with a cryptic post, just days after news broke about his ex-wife Gisele Bundchen's pregnancy on Monday, October 28. 

Bundchen is expecting her first child with boyfriend Joaquim Valente. She shares a 14-year-old son, Benjamin, and an 11-year-old daughter, Vivian, with Brady. Bundchen and Brady divorced in October 2022 after 13 years of marriage. 

In the cryptic message, Brady seemed to reflect on someone "falling short again and again", while also pointing out the qualities of those who ultimately receive credit for their efforts. 

Brady is currently facing backlash after seemingly violating NFL rules by criticizing referees during the Detroit Lions vs Green Bay Packers game. This comes amid scrutiny over his recent broadcast comment, where he allegedly referred to Josh Allen as a "spaz" during the Buffalo Bills vs Seattle Seahawks game.

Tom Brady quotes Theodore Roosevelt in new post amid Gisele Bundchen pregnancy

Tom Brady shared an Instagram story with his millions of followers on Tuesday, November 5, featuring a quote by Theodore Roosevelt, the 26th and youngest president in US history.

He began with Roosevelt's famous lines, “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.”

Brady then continued with his thoughts on who truly deserves credit, quoting Roosevelt: “The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, and comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming.”

Brady praised those who give their all, despite setbacks: “But who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause.”

Roosevelt’s statement wraps up by supporting the man who fails because “if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and time souls who know nether victory nor defeat".

Internet says Tom Brady 'looks unbelievably sad'

After Tom Brady posted an Instagram story following the news of his ex-wife’s pregnancy, many internet users were quick to share their reactions online.

One user said, "Hey Tom, I've got a another quote for you: "marriage is like a deck of cards, it starts off with a heart and diamond, and ends with a club and spade!"

The second user shared, "Tom Brady is absolutely still in love with her and I think he’s in the state of shock. He should’ve tried to go back with her if he was that much in love with her. He’s gotta be in a lot of pain."

The third user said, "Time for next touchdown,Tom."

Another remarked, "Tom, you did nothing wrong. She made the demands. She made the decision to leave the marriage. She was the lucky one to have you. She never appreciated you."

A person on Daily Mail said, "Highly doubt this was "cryptic" or about her...maybe he just liked the quote."

A user stated, "You blew it Tommy."

An individual said, "TOM looks like he’s in so much pain. You know you can’t hide your grief. He should’ve tried to go back with her once he was retired. He must’ve loved their role that time they were getting a divorce."

Another commented, "He looks unbelievably sad. I feel for him I really."
