Tom Brady's father spent almost three weeks in the hospital with Covid-19, he revealed Monday, calling it a "matter of life and death."

Tom Brady Sr., the father of Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady, opened up about his experience battling the virus in an interview with ESPN Radio's "Greeny" show.

"When the (NFL) season started this year, I was in the hospital with Covid for almost three weeks, and my wife was sick with Covid at the same time," Brady told host Mike Greenberg. "We didn't even see the first two games of the year."

The father of the NFL star said he and his wife, Galynn, were both "sick as a dog," although Galynn did not require hospitalization. Brady's parents are both 76 years old, and his mom is a breast cancer survivor.

1. I am sorry that his family is dealing with this.

I wish them a swift recovery.

However Brady is a Trumper and I doubt he wore a mask even as it is mandated in MA. Perhaps in a store but my guess is they did not follow the rules of family gatherings.

8. Trying to smear someone based on no facts just your own prejudice. .

Brady haters have to hate no matter what.

2. Wonder if he was wearing a mask etc

Tom's a tRump humper, wonder if dad is too and bought into tRump's covid bullshit.

3. Tom Brady is a zealot in taking care of his body and health.

I can’t imagine he went far without a mask. Maybe I’m wrong.

5. This isn't about Tom though

His dad has Covid. Perhaps he doesn't take care of himself the way his son does.

6. This was in response to the suggestion that Tom, not his father, may not be wearing a mask.

I understand the initial subject was his father.

11. Ahh gotcha

[former9thward]

9. So everyone who got Covid "doesn't take care of himself"

We know where you are coming from.

10. Oh hell no

I was just responding to the other poster. He was the one who said Tom takes care of himself.

12. I'm lost. I'm struggling to see that interpretation.

7. A damn fine man imo...

Tom Brady Sr. was the coach on my son's first little league team in San Mateo, CA. I have not met many people with Tom's qualities in my life. Years later, I was not at all surprised to turn on my TV to watch a Raiders game and see his son "Tommy" #12, as the opposing quarterback. And of course young Tom Jr. was an absolutely amazing ball player.

That was a good year.

13. Great recollection. Thanks for posting.

I was saddened to see both Brady parents have been afflicted with covid.
