The comments came on the heels of Gisele’s revelation that Tom Brady suffered an undisclosed concussion in the 2016-2017 season. And they underscore a deep-seated problem in the NFL.
Tom Brady and the Patriots are now — again — under investigation from the league over whether or not they failed to appropriately handle Brady’s alleged concussion. I don’t expect anything will come out of the investigation. The league has no way of establishing whether or not, at this point, a concussion did occur. Gisele’s allegations don’t amount to substantial proof.
And a possible investigation is not Brees’s given reason for why he would avoid telling his wife.
