He slammed Bündchen's timing and called her decision to end the marriage 'selfish.' Parker believes there were bigger problems between them than what meet the eye.
Sports Analyst Rob Parker thinks there were more reasons behind the divorce than football
Rob Parker said on The Odd Couple podcast that Bündchen's choice to end the marriage was not just about Brady's football career.
He explained that many people work long hours for their families and that wasn't the reason Brady and Bündchen separated. 'I think she was totally selfish,' Parker said. 'I'm with Tom Brady. I don't think they're mutually exclusive, that you could only have one or the other. There are anchor men who worked 40 years, who had to work till six o'clock and eleven for their family and do what they had to do.
That's not why they broke up over – one more year of football.
They had other issues. She wound up having a baby, like eight months after they broke up,' he added.

UFC 320 Pereira V. Ankalaev 2: Two Women's Bouts Announced As Card Showcases Depth
The highly anticipated UFC 320 event continues to build excitement as the promotion officially announced two compelling women's bouts that will strengthen an already loaded October card. The Las Vegas spectacular, scheduled for October 4th at the iconic T-Mobile Arena, now features enhanced depth across multiple divisions with the addition of these strategic matchups. The first addition brings together two battle-tested bantamweight competitors as Macy Chiasson squares off against Yana Santos in what promises to be a pivotal contest for both fighters. Chiasson, known by her moniker 'Mercy," enters the octagon with a professional record of 10-4 and an impressive 8-4 UFC ledger. Opposite her, Santos brings considerable experience with a 16-8 record overall, including one no-contest that adds intrigue to her competitive history. This matchup represents a critical juncture for both women, as each seeks to establish momentum in the ultra-competitive 135-pound division where every victory carries significant weight toward title contention. Walker's journey back to the octagon represents one of the evening's most intriguing storylines, as she prepares to compete for the first time in over two and a half years. The Guam representative, who gained recognition through her appearance on 'The Ultimate Fighter: Team Peña vs. Team Nunes," carries a 7-4 professional record and will be eager to demonstrate that her lengthy layoff hasn't diminished her competitive edge. The Championship Bouts These additions complement what is already shaping up as one of the year's most significant pay-per-view events. The main card features a light heavyweight championship rematch between current titleholder Magomed Ankalaev and former champion Alex Pereira, with 'Poatan" seeking redemption after his previous defeat. The Brazilian striker, who established himself as one of MMA's most electrifying performers through spectacular knockouts of elite competition, will attempt to reclaim the 205-pound crown he lost to the Dagestani champion earlier this year. The co-main event showcases bantamweight excellence as champion Merab Dvalishvili defends his title against top contender Cory Sandhagen. Dvalishvili, riding an impressive win streak and established as the division's dominant force, faces a significant challenge in Sandhagen, whose technical striking and well-rounded skillset have earned him this coveted opportunity. The card's depth extends beyond the championship bouts, with notable contests including former light heavyweight champion Jiří Procházka facing Khalil Rountree Jr. in a bout with clear title implications. This matchup between the Czech Republic's former titleholder and the dynamic American striker promises fireworks and will likely determine the next contender for the winner of the main event. The middleweight division receives significant representation through multiple compelling matchups, including Joe Pyfer versus Abus Magomedov, a contest between two fighters known for their finishing ability and aggressive styles. Additional middleweight action features Edmen Shahbazyan against André Muniz and Ateba Gautier facing Osman Diaz, ensuring fans will witness diverse fighting styles across the 185-pound division.

Retired? Jason Kelce caught coaching Eagles rookie in viral NFL camp clip — fans beg for comeback
Jason Kelce's viral clip sets internet on fire (Image credits: IG/X) Jason Kelce may have officially retired from the NFL this offseason, but one viral training camp moment shows he hasn't stepped far from the Philadelphia Eagles. Footage of the Super Bowl-winning centre mentoring rookie Hollin Pierce — an undrafted free agent battling for a roster spot — has lit up online, reigniting debate about his next move. In the clip, Kelce is seen actively coaching technique as if still on the payroll, sparking rumours of a comeback in a new capacity. For Eagles fans, the message is clear: retirement might be just a technicality — because Jason Kelce still bleeds green. Viral clip sets NFL internet on fire The 37-year-old Eagles icon, who called time on his 13-year career after the 2023/24 season, made headlines by turning up at Philadelphia's 2025 training camp. Instead of merely visiting, Kelce jumped into offensive-line drills, guiding Pierce with hands-on, technical coaching. The moment quickly exploded across NFL Twitter/X, with fans sharing the footage and questioning if he had secretly joined Nick Sirianni's staff. Kelce's unexpected involvement brought back memories of the leadership he displayed while anchoring the line in Super Bowl LII. Retirement hasn't killed Jason Kelce's hunger to lead Despite earning six First-Team All-Pro selections, seven Pro Bowls and a Super Bowl ring, Kelce is clearly not slowing down. Observers praised how naturally he slipped into a teacher's role, correcting footwork, adjusting hand placement and quietly motivating the rookie lineman. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Kelaniya: New Container Houses – Take A Look At The Prices! Container homes | Search ads Learn More Undo Such behavior has only fueled speculation that his departure was merely from the roster — not the organization. In true Philadelphia fashion, even after retirement, Kelce continues to serve the locker room he once led. Underdog-to-underdog bond sparks speculation The fact that Kelce mentored Hollin Pierce instead of headline names like Jalen Hurts or Saquon Barkley resonated deeply with Eagles fans. Kelce himself was a sixth-round pick in the 2011 NFL Draft and had to claw his way into a starting role. That underdog spirit seems to have shaped his interest in uplifting rookies who arrive without fanfare. 'Jason is the kind of guy who can't just step away,' one fan wrote — echoing thousands cheering the viral moment. Legacy grows as coaching rumors explode Officially, the Eagles have not announced Kelce in any formal job – but fans believe the soft launch has already begun. With his presence saturating camp coverage, speculation now centres around whether the franchise is easing him into a developmental role. Kelce himself has been coy, simply saying he's still figuring out life after football while staying close to the game. Yet one thing is undeniable: helping undrafted rookies like Pierce proves Jason Kelce hasn't left the Eagles — he's just evolving his impact.
