Tom Brady Dishes On Learning His Wife's Language

On Monday, Us Weekly announced that Brady has been suspended without pay for four games after it was reported that he was "at least generally aware" of the incident. The New England Patriots won the AFC Championship by playing with deflated balls. The site also mentioned that the team has been fined $1 million.

"We reached these decisions after extensive discussion with [NFL Executive President] Troy Vincent and many others," NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said in a statement. "We relied on the critical importance of protecting the integrity of the game and the thoroughness and independence of the Wells report."

There was a 243-page investigative report on the situation and Brady only had so much to say about it.

"I don't really have any reaction, our owner commented on it yesterday," the NFL star said in a Q&A session earlier this week. "It's only been 30 hours so I haven't had much time to digest it fully but when I do I'll be sure to let you know. And everybody else!"

Despite his punishment, the husband of supermodel Gisele Bundchen made it clear that he is willing to accept the consequences.

"I've dealt with a lot of things in the past," he said. "I dealt with this there months ago before the Super Bowl. I dealt with a lot of adversity over the course of my career, my life...I'm very fortunate to have so many people that love and support me. Life is so much about the ups and downs. Certainly I accept my role and responsibility as a public figure and I think a lot of it, you take the good with the bad."
