The Football Player and the Cheerleader

It's raining outside at about 4 p.m. on a Monday. I've composed and recorded two songs on my Youtube channel and I just ate a bologna sandwich for an early dinner. I think I'll have ice-cream for desert later when I watch the next episode of House of the Dragon. For now, I'm just sitting here feeling a bit bored, all by myself, and I'm thinking about Tom Brady and that book "50 Shades of Grey". Tom married Gisele. Gisele didn't love Tom even with all his fame and money. Gisele left Tom to face the backlash of the end of his career and the end of his marriage all by himself. Poor Tom.

See it's really not all Gisele's fault. She did what any typical golddigger would do. People like to say she didn't need him because she had her own money, and maybe that's true --- but if that's true, then the whole theory of being equally "yolked" in marriage is blown to smithereens with their example. Tom should have married a poor girl, not a rich gorgeous girl who couldn't care less about him. Gisele didn't appreciate him. All she did was wreck his career and make him a cuckhold. So sad. The GOAT! The Greatest of All Time was reduced to a "has been" "divorcee" just because he married the wrong girl.

But what if he had married someone totally different? What if someone gorgeous and rich (like Tom Brady) married a girl next door type? A girl who didn't have lots of money and lots of men after her? A girl who thinks that someone gorgeous and rich (like Tom Brady) is a Prince Charming dream come true? What if? Would that girl turn out to be just like Gisele? Unsatisfied and unloving and unloyal? I suppose there's no way to know unless there was a Prince Charming (gorgeous and rich like Tom Brady) who would be willing to experiment --- willing to say to himself, "I want to be appreciated. I want a cheerleader." Perhaps Tom thought he had found an equal in Gisele - a soul mate - his "other half" but he couldn't have been right if their marriage produced a child but only lasted two years.

According to Wiki, Tom Brady has been married three times. I wonder how he decides who he's going to ask to marry him next? Is it just based on how she looks? Does she have to be beautiful and rich like him? Does she have to like football? Or does she just have to say "I love you Tom" and he believes her for some reason? Things that make me go, hmmmmm?

I had wanted to be a cheerleader when I was in high school. I tried out in 7th grade, but I didn't make the squad so I decided to hate jocks and cheerleaders after that. Being a weirdo was more fun and more free anyway -- much less pressure. But when I think about someone like Tom Brady (gorgeous and rich and an athletic star) I think that maybe he would have been happier or at least had a longer lasting marriage if he didn't go for the standard "chic" that society thinks he should be with. Maybe the shocking choice, the girl who is supposedly not good enough by some standard (money, beauty, education, whatever) is the girl who would actually find someone like Tom, a dream come true. And if he can make the girl happy just being himself, then that should make him happy and show the purpose of his success. I might be wrong, but it sounds like that's the way the Cinderella story is supposed to go.

When Tom and Gisele got married, that wasn't Prince Charming and Cinderella. That was Prince Charming and Anastasia. They may both have been "royals" but look what happened? Two years? I've known dogs that have longer relationships than that. I guess when the Honeymoon was over, Gisele was out of there fast. Am I being too harsh on the girl? Well, you can't blame a poor girl for being envious or snide about a rich girl who spit on everything a poor girl like me would have cherished.

I'm sorry you haven't had any luck in your marriages Tom. Hey, don't feel too bad. I married a poor guy for love. I thought my theory would work the other way around. It did from 2011 to 2023. So I got 12 years out of it. 12, like the number on your jersey. Well, at least my experiment lasted 10 years longer than your Gisele thing, so I think my theory has something to it.
