It’s not been a good month for Tom Brady. His team, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are not performing up to the mark and his marriage is also reportedly falling apart. His comeback to the NFL after retiring is mentioned as the reason for the tussle. But NBA Legend Shaquille O’Neal has called out Gisele Bundchen for allegedly not supporting her husband in his decision.

Brady announced his retirement at the end of last season after a historic career in the NFL. However, he did a U-turn on that and announced that he is signing for another season. His team had just won the Super Bowl two seasons ago, and he wanted to win his eighth title.
