“That Man Is Human. He Has Feelings, Emotions”: Shannon Sharpe Gives a Reality Check to Tom Brady Fans Ahead of Super Sunday Match-Up Against Aaron Rodgers

The upcoming Sunday clash against the Green Bay Packers is going to be a crucial game for Tom Brady from all perspectives. The seriousness of the face-off was understood after the quarterback attended Wednesday’s practice session despite calling it a weekly holiday. Broncos Legend Shannon Sharpe makes a reality check on whether the move was out of desperation.

This will be the second time Tom Brady faces Aaron Rodgers in a Buccaneers jersey. The last time they met in the postseason, it was Brady who came out victorious. However, this time he is battling various issues on the field and off the field.

And above all, he is 45. Even though his energy level is of a rookie, his body has started showing age. In the recent episode of UNDISPUTED, Shannon Sharpe explained the reason behind declaring Wednesday as a rest day for the entire season.

“You get older, you need a little bit more time to recover,” Sharpe said. Meanwhile, his personal life drama with Gisele Bündchen is also impacting the quarterback in several ways.

“He is dealing with some things that he probably never had to deal with. He has emotions, he has feelings, and he’s dealing with something that a lot of people are dealing with,” Sharpe added to his explanation.

After the Week 2 game, while speaking to the reporters, Brady acknowledged that he wasn’t able to control his emotions despite playing for 23 seasons in the league.

Tom Brady admits that his body has started showing age

The seven-time Super Bowl champion follows a strict regime when it comes to fitness and diet. The TB12 method is quite famous and is one of the reasons why he can play this long. But the biological reactions don’t seem to wait for anyone.

Brady mentions that playing at 45 is much different than the 30s because health is an essential factor and pro football, being a violent sport demands extreme amounts of fitness.

“There’s no margin for error when you’re 45,” Brady said Sunday on his ‘Let’s Go!’ podcast. “You take hits, and you feel every hit. When you’re younger, your body’s a lot different. And when you’re 45, your body changes a lot.” The Bucs QB added to his explanation.

Brady is playing in the 23rd NFL season of his career and probably his last. It will be interesting to see if he manages to bring one more Super Bowl title home.
