Tom Brady Cries When Talking About His Dad, Being a Dad

Tom Brady is man enough to cry.

In episode 10 of the ESPN series Man in the Arena: Tom Brady, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB spoke about his relationship with his father, Tom Sr.

“There’s a big commitment that your parents make, and my dad made every commitment to me that was, you know, an amazing dad,” he said. “There was never a moment where he didn’t have time to support what I wanted to do and try to achieve because it’s a hard thing to do.”

Later in the episode Tom spoke about being a father as well:

“When I think about being a dad, I think about him because of what my dad meant to me,” he said. “I know I’m not as good a dad to my kids that my dad’s been to me. I use them as my example as to how to keep a family together and to care and to support and to love.

“We want our kids to be happy. I want them to be respectful of people. I want them to be kind. I want them to make the world a better place.”

“I think maybe what I’d wish for my children is to find something that they really love to do like I have, but I think I have taken it to an extreme too, you know?” he explained. “There are imbalances in my life. And you know, I hope they don’t take things as far as I’ve taken them.”

“I want them to experience great success in whatever they do, but there’s a torment about me that I don’t wish upon them.”

Tom’s kids are going to have a hard time living up to their father’s success, but whatever they do, they’ll always have the love of Tom and Gi.

That’s what you call winning a lottery ticket at birth.
