    I wouldn’t limit it modern times.... the best overall football player to ever live is Brady. He now has 3 more titles than Montana and he isn’t playing is a league with a handful of teams like Bill Russell. I don’t WANT Brady to be, but it just reaches a point of acceptance.. it is the same with MJ in basketball

    That slide was nice. Always jealous of people that can slide.

    Both of those movies are pretty good.

    Best overall football player? No. It would be laughable to think about Brady even trying to play another position...no size, strength, quickness, agility, etc. There are current players on almost any team that are better overall football players than Brady is. Players that played both sides of the ball. An overall football player would need to be able to play multiple positions. Brady couldn't even come close to doing that.

    Best QB to ever play? Hard to argue he isn't.

    Brady pulled a Kawhi, 1st year on a team and then a 'ship.

    As far as records... in good company, and maybe a goat for the modern era.

    Bill Russell 11 championships 5 mvps
    Yogi Berra 10 championships 3 mvps
    Joe DiMaggio 9 championships 3 mvps
    Micky Mantle 7 championships 3 mvps
    Tom Brady 7 championships 3 mvps

    Love Babe Ruth, definitely more dominant than Brady. Ruth didn’t have to play against black or Latin players but still, most dominant athlete in a major sport.

    I suppose I should define what I mean by best.

    Tom Brady has more Super Bowl victories than any NFL franchise... he has 3 more Super Bowls than Joe Montana.

    Also adding to the mystique is the fact he is in his mid 40’s.

    It is all pretty insane.

    Or don't bother, 'cause I'm just kinda ****ing with you.

    Tom Brady is the MJ of football. There's no real comparison in modern baseball (thanks Barry and ARod) other than Mike Trout.

    This game was cathartic.

    I hate the chiefs and Mahomes with an unhealthy amount of passion. Just about everything I hope for happened in the game tonight.

    Now that Brady is out of New England and doesn’t have a coach with a perma-constipated look on his face, he has become much more likeable for me.

    @Nook do you know which God Brady worships? Because it’s obviously the correct one.

    **** Brady that cheat. Funny how people say the Astro’s are cheaters but gave Tom Brady and Patriots a pass. In my books Tom has one Super Bowl. Ok maybe I am a Tom Brady and patriots hater but I don’t give a ****.

    The player with the greatest winning percentage of the four major pro sports took the worst team in sports history (with the lowest winning percentage) to the super bowl and WON .....by beating the shiit out of the defending champions.

    Which other NFL player could do that?

    I hated him as a Patriot but tolerate him as a buc.

    In no way am I a Brady Fan but I am happy that KC got their azzez whooped.

    Tom Brady sold his soul to the devil. No other explanation.
