NFL News Roundup: Tom Brady opens up regarding hardest thing about parenting, Texans settle with 30 women who had claims against team, Deshaun Watson, and more | July 15, 2022
The 2022 NFL offseason continues to roll on with more drama and surprises thrown at us every day. While blockbuster trades dominated headlines early on, off-the-field developments have gained steam in recent days.
With teams busy preparing for the new season, their rosters are starting to take shape. On that note, we bring you some of the most gripping storylines from around the NFL on July 12, 2022.
Tom Brady says he and wife Gisele Bundchen's wealth hardest thing about parenting
Tom Brady is arguably the most recognizable face the NFL has ever had. His star power and fame transcends borders. Add to that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback is married to former Victoria's Secret supermodel Gisele Bundchen.
All this fame, of course, means that the Brady family is loaded when it comes to those dollar bills. With a combined net worth well into the hundreds of millions, the couple's children definitely have access to what one would refer to as 'generational wealth'.
This is what the seven-time Super Bowl champion says is the hardest part of parenting his children. Appearing on the "Drive" podcast with Jim Farley Brady, provided some insight into what his kids experience and some valuable life lessons they might be missing out on:
“We have people that clean for us. We have people that make our food. We have people that drive us to the airport if we need that. … We get off a plane and there’s people waiting there for us and we get ushered in.
Having the amount of privilege Brady's kids have is obviously something that concerns the Buccaneers quarterback:
“That’s my kids’ reality, which is the hard part to say, ‘Guys, this is not the way reality really is. … What can we do about that?'”
Houston Texans dragged into Deshaun Watson fiasco
Deshaun Watson just can't catch a break. Despite the Cleveland Browns quarterback securing the largest guaranteed contract in NFL history, the off-field controversies continue to dampen his image.
According to Click 2 Houston, the Texans have settled court cases with 30 women for their part in enabling the quarterback to commit sexual misconduct.
