Tom Brady, fresh off a four-game suspension for his role in Defleategate, seems to already have another issue at hand after scrambling away from the press when asked for his thoughts on Donald Trump’s recent comments.
Brady publicly stated his support for Trump back in December. When asked if he stood by Trump in his run for the presidency, Brady went on record saying, “Donald is a good friend of mine. I have known him for a long time. I support all my friends.”
Now, it doesn’t seem the Patriots QB is as outspoken in his support after Trump’s latest assertion that his lewd and misogynistic comments were little more than “locker room talk.” Well, at least not publicly. When a reporter asked for Brady’s thoughts on the scandalous fallout from the 11-year-old video, Brady simply smiled, thanked the reporters in attendance, then walked out of the room.
Here’s video of the incident, which took place today:
Many high-level Republicans have pulled their support of Trump following the release of the video, but Brady’s evasion seems less like a stance against the misogynistic comments and more like…something else. It’s not clear if Brady still supports Trump publicly, privately, or at all, but failing to take a stance at all on the divisive comments made by the candidate won’t likely end this line of questioning.

Grieving couple comforting each other
This response to someone grieving a friend might be the best internet comment ever
When someone is hit with the sudden loss of a friend or loved one, words rarely feel like enough. Yet, more than a decade ago, a wise Redditor named GSnow shared thoughts so profound they still bring comfort to grieving hearts today.
Originally posted around 2011, the now-famous reply was rediscovered when Upvoted, an official Reddit publication, featured it again to remind everyone of its enduring truth. It began as a simple plea for help: “My friend just died. I don't know what to do.”
What followed was a piece of writing that many consider one of the internet’s best comments of all time. It remains shared across social media, grief forums, and personal messages to this day because its honesty and metaphor speak to the raw reality of loss and the slow, irregular path toward healing.
Below is GSnow’s full reply, unchanged, in all its gentle, wave-crashing beauty:
Why this advice still matters
Mental health professionals and grief counselors often describe bereavement in stages or phases, but GSnow’s “wave theory” gives an image more relatable for many. Rather than a linear process, grief surges and retreats—sometimes triggered by a song, a place, or a simple morning cup of coffee.
In recent years, this metaphor has found renewed relevance. Communities on Reddit, TikTok, and grief support groups frequently reshare it to help explain the unpredictable nature of mourning.
Many readers say this analogy helps them feel less alone, giving them permission to ride each wave of grief rather than fight it.
Finding comfort in shared wisdom
Since this comment first surfaced, countless people have posted their own stories underneath it, thanking GSnow and passing the words to others facing fresh heartbreak. It’s proof that sometimes, the internet can feel like a global support group—strangers linked by shared loss and hope.
For those searching for more support today, organizations like The Dougy Center, GriefShare, and local bereavement groups offer compassionate resources. If you or someone you know is struggling with intense grief, please reach out to mental health professionals who can help navigate these deep waters.
When grief comes crashing like the ocean, remember these words—and hang on. There is life between the waves.
