Tom Brady live updates — NFL star breaks silence after comparing game to military as Gisele Bündchen divorce rumors rise

STAR Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady has issued an apology for comparing his NFL season to “military deployment.”

Brady, 45, made the comments while talking about work-life balance with NBA legend Kevin Durant on his show.

He said: “I almost look at a football season like going away on deployment in the military and it’s like, man, here I go again.”

Veteran organizations were outraged by the quarterback’s remarks, and US Army veterans condemned him on social media.

Brady used his customary Thursday-afternoon press conference to express his regret to anyone who had been hurt.

He told reporters: “It was a very poor choice of words. I just want to express that [because] people may have taken that a certain way. I apologize.”

This happens amid the rumors surrounding Brady and wife Gisele Bündchen’s relationship being in strain and the couple hiring divorce lawyers.
