https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2017/may/17/tom-brady-concussion-gisele-bundchen-nfl"Tom Bradys wife, Gisele Bundchen, says the New England Patriots quarterback has a history of concussions, including one suffered last season when he took his team to victory in the Super Bowl.
He had a concussion last year. He has concussions pretty much every ... I mean, we dont talk about it. He does have concussions, Bundchen said on CBSs This Morning on Wednesday. I dont really think its a healthy thing for a body to go through that kind of aggression all the time. That could not be healthy for you.
Brady, who will turn 40 in August, plans to play for at least another five years, although in February he said Bundchen wants him to retire from the game: If it was up to my wife, she would have me retire today. She told me that last night three times. Bundchen reiterated that sentiment on Wednesday: Im planning on having him be healthy and do a lot of fun things when were like 100, I hope, she said.
Bundchen did not say whether Bradys concussion had been medically diagnosed. According to Stat Pass, the Patriots have never reported Brady as suffering a concussion and they have yet to respond to Bundchens comments.
.........
Concussions in the NFL have been under increased scrutiny in recent years. One of Bradys former team-mates, Junior Seau, killed himself in 2012 and was found to have the degenerative brain condition CTE, or chronic traumatic encephalopathy. CTE is often found in athletes who have suffered from head trauma during their careers."
