The New England Patriots could find themselves in trouble with the NFL again soon, but this time around they would have no one outside of the organization to blame for ratting on them.
Tom Brady‘s wife, supermodel Gisele Bundchen, accidentally put the Patriots on blast during a recent CBS This Morning interview when she mentioned Brady had a concussion last season.
Gisele Bundchen says husband Tom Brady had a concussion last year.
“he has concussions…we don’t talk about it”

From ABC News:
Tom Brady played through a concussion last year on his way to a fifth Super Bowl title, according to his wife, supermodel Gisele Bundchen. The injury, which was not reported by the team, left her worried about how long he should continue to play football.
Asked if she wanted the New England Patriots quarterback to retire, Bundchen expressed concern “as a wife” in an interview on “CBS This Morning” that aired Wednesday.
“He had a concussion last year. He has concussions pretty much every …” she said, before cutting herself off. “I mean, we don’t talk about it. But he does have concussions. I don’t really think it’s a healthy thing for anybody to go through.”
Brady sat out the first four games of the season as punishment for his role in the “Deflategate” scandal and missed practice late in the season for leg, thigh and ankle injuries. But he was not listed on the league-required injury reports for a concussion or head injury at any point during either the 2016 calendar year or the 2016 season.
The NFL requires “significant or noteworthy” injuries to be reported, regardless of whether a player is expected to miss playing time, and says honest reporting of injuries “affects the integrity of the game.”
The Patriots can now get in a whole heap of trouble because Brady was not placed on the injury report for a head issue on a single occasion during New England’s championship campaign.
NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said league officials reviewed all reports from independent neurotrauma consultants and athletic trainers who worked at Brady’s games during the 2016 season.
“There are no records that indicate that Mr. Brady suffered a head injury or concussion, or exhibited or complained of concussion symptoms,” McCarthy said. “Today we have been in contact with the NFLPA and will work together to gather more information from the club’s medical staff and Mr. Brady.”
Naturally, the Internet had a blast making light of this development.
Tom Brady probably forgot to take the garbage out one night and Gisele automatically assumed he had a concussion.

Tom Brady Concussion Theory: Whenever Brady got annoyed at Gisele, he just told her he had a concussion so she would leave him alone.
