Tom Brady’s trainer’s reduced role with team causing “some friction”

Last week, a report surfaced that Bill Belichick has an issue with Tom Brady‘s long-time trainer. Both Brady and Belichick have declined to discuss the coach’s decision to reduce Alex Guerrero’s special team privileges, other than Brady crediting his trainer with his success at age 40.

The Boston Globe detailed the situation and said Belichick’s decision to diminish Gurrero’s role and return the Patriots to a more traditional medical and training operation has “created some friction in Foxborough.”

Guerrero treated many of Brady’s teammates at his TB12 Center just outside the stadium in Patriot Place. But the Patriots also allowed Guerrero to have his own office near the locker room, where he treated players with his alternative methods.

Guerrero no longer is allowed to fly with the team, have sideline access during games or treat players other than Brady in his office at Gillette Stadium. The trainer still treats other players at the TB12 Center.

In 2015, the Globe reported the team’s medical and training staffs complained to Belichick about Guerrero and his alternative treatment practices and his questionable background. Federal regulators sanctioned Guerrero for falsely presenting himself as a medical doctor and deceptively promoting nutritional supplements, via government records cited by the Globe.

Brady counts Guerrero as a close friend, business partner and made him godfather to his son Ben. He repeatedly has credited Guerrero for his continued success, and when asked Monday about Belichick having an “issue” with his trainer, Brady said, “I don’t have any comment on that other to say Alex is a big part of what I do. I am fortunate to have him.”

I remember these types of stories with baseball players and where that usually led...

Report: Belichick pushing Brady’s trainer away from Pats

Before becoming associated with Brady, Guerrero ran afoul of the Federal Trade Commission by claiming his nutritional supplement “Supreme Greens” could cure terminal illness.

The Boston Globe shed more light on Brady's partnership with Guerrero Sunday, reporting that the Patriots pay TB12 Sports Therapy Center, Brady and Guerrero's joint-operated athletic training facility which is located in Patriot Place, to provide treatment and medical advice to their players –– often against the wishes of the team's medical and training staff. The Patriots reportedly pay the center's market rate of $200 per hour to treat their players, meaning Brady may profit off his teammates' injuries. They also allow Guerrero to work inside of a room in Gillette Stadium and regularly grant him sideline credentials for their games.

The Globe says Bill Belichick feels powerless to stop this arrangement:

A source with direct knowledge of one such complaint recalled Belichick’s response: Tom wants him. What am I supposed to do?

Boston magazine published an expose on Guerrero in October, reporting the Federal Trade Commission sued him in 2004 for his role as the pitchman for a fraudulent cancer cure, Supreme Greens. In the infomercial for the supplement, which was a blend of 39 ingredients, Guerrero cited a false study that said 192 of 200 terminally ill patients who tried the product had survived. The FTC eventually banned Guerrero from promoting Supreme Greens or "any substantially similar product."

Eight years later, the FTC ordered Guerrero to shut down the production of Neurosafe, a phony panacea for concussions and head trauma. Brady and Wes Welker endorsed the product.

The issue here isn't that Brady embraces Guerrero and considers him to be a part of his inner circle. It's clear that Brady believes Guerrero's nutritional and training methods are working for him and play a role in why he's still at the top of his game as he nears his 40th birthday. The problem is, Brady is in business with someone who's profited off terminal cancer patients and has an extensive legal history of fraud. That shows a shameful lack of judgment.

He seems sketchy as hell

ESPN did a big article on him a few months ago. Really sounds like Tom is enthralled in a cult. He can talk all he wants about how "narrow" his muscles are to avoid injury but the fact remains that all you need is one good shot to go down in this league. Brady is playing behind an o-line that keeps his upright. Put him on the Detroit Lions and he'd be dead by now.
