Tom Brady Wants Time Off When Baby Is Born - PIC

Tom Brady is a busy man - he’s dating Gisele Bundchen, has photo shoots all the time, and quarterbacks the New England Patriots. Oh, and he’s having a baby with Bridget Moynahan. And while most dads to be get some kind of paternity leave, it’s a little more difficult when you’re in the NFL. That’s not stopping Tom Brady from asking for some time off when the baby is born.

“I hope so,” Brady, 30, said Monday, noting that he’ll need the approval of coach Bill Belichick in the face of his team’s upcoming busy schedule.

“Bill has a lot to say,” Brady acknowledged, according to the Associated Press, “so we’ll deal with it when it happens.”

It’s not exactly clear when Bridget is due, but rumors were circulating that she was due on Gisele’s birthday. Since Gisele’s birthday is July 20, someone might want to start inducing if those rumors were true.

With the first regular season game slated for September 9 against the New York Jets, Bridget better have that baby pretty soon or fans in Boston, and fantasy owners, could get pretty angry at Brady.

As for asking for personal time off, he said: “Certainly, a lot of people make sacrifices for their family, and I’m dealing with a certain situation, a very joyous, happy situation. And some people have dealt with death in the past and that’s incredibly difficult.”

Chimed in Coach Belichick: “[Personal situations] are all talked about and dealt with on an individual basis. It doesn’t matter who the player is. There are plenty that have come up through the course of the year. I’ll deal with them like I do all of them.”
