Tom Brady finally got back to the Tampa Bay Bucs this week after an 11-day absence. His absence was excused and planned, but unannounced until it happened so it allowed for social media to come up with numerous theories.

Brady showed up Saturday for the preseason debut in the exhibition final and finally got a chance to address why he was gone for so long.

“Everyone has different situations they’re dealing with and we all have unique challenges to our lives.”

He added: “I’m 45 years old, man. There’s a lot of shit going on, so you just have to try and figure out life the best you can. You know, it’s a continuous process.”

The future Hall of Fame quarterback was reportedly on vacation to the Bahamas with his wife, Gisele, during his absence. Of course, Brady has neither confirmed nor denied where he actually was.
