re: Tom Brady puzzled why Scottie Scheffler would prioritize family over golf career

Lol at skip thinking he's the authority on what god is calling someone else to do.
As for Brady he's missing the point. Scottie isn't saying they are mutually exclusive and that you have to choose between being a great golfer and a great husband/father. He simply said if he ever had to make that choice it would be easy one.

Tom Brady writes a regular newsletter?

Skip being married to a woman named Ernestine cracks me up and somehow makes all the sense in the world

Yall lighten up on Brady. He’ll always be my hero for walking into that stadium at the Super Bowl sans mask during the peak of Covid stupidity.

I do commend Scottie, family should be first. Now he certainly is patting his own back vigorously and taking victory laps for it....but in the end if he is genuinely being that person at home it's a good thing.

And in his latest newsletter, Brady questioned why Scheffler feels the need to prioritize one over the other.
Brady wrote that he places each priority of life into a pyramid, putting himself at the top, followed by his partner, children, work, extended family, friends, hobbies, and the greater community. According to Brady, the key is knowing when one priority should take precedence over the other.
Why the hell is tom writing about Scottie’s family and choices in his personal newsletter? Maybe just stay in your own lane Tom

From the Latrell Sprewell school of home economics.
Your family's family were "taken care of" after the first big contract. I have nothing against him trying to be the best, but implying he has to do it because his family will be worse off if he doesn't is silly.

Tom has that Jordan in him

Skip brought up Tiger, Brady, and Jordan as athletes obsessed with winning. They also loved fricking around and were terrible at keeping a family together. Now back to Scottie’s point…

Yeah, it's not like these guys are taking extra shifts, or driving an Uber at night to pay the bills.
Their choices are more like Mercedes or BMW.

So disappointed in Tom with this comment. You dont need hundreds of millions of $ to be a good father and take care of your family. You need to be present when you already have beyond generational wealth.

skip must have forgot about the vow he took before God to take care of his wife first and foremost in his life. He didn't take a vow before God to be on TV.

Who's to say that it wasn't Gisele who destroyed the family by cheating on Tom? The shameful out-of-pocket hug with AB to humiliate Tom and then hooking up with the karate guy while she was married.
Gisele's ridiculous insistence on Tom retiring so they could go... do what, exactly? Sail the world in their yacht like a bunch of jet set bohemians? So she could return to her modeling career in her 40s? Nothing that they couldn't have done for twenty years even if Tom hadn't retired until he was 50.
Most people don't make an ultimatum like quit your passion in life or I'm leaving you. Why did she turn it into this thing of--if he keeps playing, that means he loves the game more than me?
His kids always looked happy with him in the documentaries, looked like a great father. Most kids don't get to spend 6 months with their dad every year in the offseason.

From all accounts the percentage is pretty high for those with massive contracts.

Talk about tone deafness.
Jesus Christ, Tom. God forbid a man actually prioritizes family/The Lord over his career.

“Scottie said he’d rather be a better father and husband than a good golfer. And my question is: why are those mutually exclusive?” Brady asked. “Sure, they’re different blocks on the pyramid, but they’re part of the same pyramid. They’re connected!
“For instance, I think part of being a great father is being a great example of doing what it takes to take care of your family. I chose to do it by playing football. My dedication to the sport, the hours of practice, the moments when I was laser focused—those were times when I believe I was doing the best possible thing for my family and my kids, by prioritizing my profession and teaching, by example, what it takes to be really good at your job, what it takes to follow through on commitments, what it takes to be a great teammate; and showing them, also by example, that work is a big part of all of our lives.”
Lot of business executives use the same excuse to fulfill selfish desires and masquerade it by saying "I'm just trying to provide for my family"
