ESPN Article on Tom Brady: The Big Reveal
There is a new article at ESPN on Tom Brady.
LINK: The Big Reveal.
He goes into the whole hostility against Brady, and the way many fans, opponents and others want to take Brady down and tear apart his reputation and his legacy.
He also goes into how uber-competitive Brady is on the football field.

Just read this. Remarkable human being.
"Tom Brady is one of the most misunderstood athletes or celebrities that we have in this country," said one of Brady's former teammates, who won a Super Bowl with him early in his career. "If you can't look at what Brady's done and appreciate and embrace who he is, then you're missing what's great about America."

Thanks for posting. It's strange to hear a legitimate conversation about TB's legacy after ESPN pretty much became the mouthpiece for questioning it a year ago.

It's not that farfetched that Brady would be the next HC at Michigan...in about 15-20 years. Sure he's got all the money and Giselle, but I think his competitive fire is real. Not Harbaugh real, but real enough. He clearly loves the game.

It's extremely farfetched. You guys are both crazy.

[upvoting use of the word "farfetched" for unknown reasons]

Options:
1. Hang out with Gisele at home.
2. Hang out for 18 hours a day 7 days a week with a bunch of sweaty college guys and other football coaches, and travel insanely and almost never be at home.
Yeah, clearly going to coach us.

So Sarah Harbaugh's not hot?

There's nothing like Tom Brady's story in sports. He's the greatest quarterback of all time, and nobody saw that coming. There isn't a single GOAT in any sport that nobody saw coming. There are great players that nobody saw coming (Mike Piazza comes to mind), but not the GREATEST players. Brady's an original. And he's ours.

Had Bledsoe not gotten crushed going out of bounds history would have been very different and the Patriots may still suck. The big takeaway should be, always be prepared for your chance. You never know when it will come and you may only get one in your lifetime.

after Brady's first or second start. He said something like "Holy cow, he's making reads/progressions as well as maybe five QBs in the league are able to. In his first game (or two)."

Or Woodson gotten to him a little faster and there is no tuck rule. Butterflies dude.

after the 2000 Orange Bowl and suggested they watch Tom Brady's performance. I went on about how he remained calm, cool and collected when we were down by 2 TDs twice in that game.
Of course they never responded and probably never watched the tape. In hindsight Tom Brady ended up the best place for any quarterback in the NFL. If he had gone to Pittsburgh, he would have ended up behind a not so great OL and his career may have ended years ago.

Thanks for posting....very good read.
As that piece pointed out, altough Deflategate seems very much like yesterday's news, the NFL has appealed Judge Berman's decision and a hearing is upcoming shortly. I'd like nothing better than to see the Pats win the Superbowl and have the Court of Appeals affirm Berman's ruling. I can't imagine the pressure that Brady was under before the season began over a contrived pile of bullshit.

although I still love the 2012 SI article (yes, I know by an author not well thought of on this blog) about his time at Michigan and how it molded his character. Brady sure does remind me of someone.......no, not Batman.
