STATE OF FOOTBALL: The Tom Brady-Gisele Bundchen drama front-and-center this week in Tampa

Can the Hump Day Compromise save the Tampa Bay Bucs’ Super Bowl-or-bust season?

Tom Brady now has Wednesdays off, and though these things are officially known as “maintenance days” for certain veterans, everyone assumes this isn’t just about Tom’s 45-year-old body.

It was little more than tabloid fodder at first, but you know how these things work in the media — especially the modern form. The whispered concerns about Tom Brady and wife Gisele Bundchen are now in full song, practically a Broadway spectacular.

The bubbling moved to a soft boil when Gisele told Elle Magazine about the sacrifices she's made, setting aside her supermodel chores to be there for the kids and for Tom’s NFL career.
