What?!
Surely you jest. No where near the team leader and "balls of steel" that Brady is. I'd take Brady on my team over ANYONE, you can't count this guy out.

It just is what it is. #1 I really do feel he's overrated. Really damn good, but not the all-time great he's made out to be. #2 - I hate what the guy represents - favoritism, smugness, how to take all the credit when you don't deserve it - and of course for beating my Steelers a few times.  |
What?!
He is definitely to be counted among the greatest of all-time. I guess we're going to have to agree to disagree on this one.

That, my friend, is called cashing in on your fame. Would any of us really do it differently? I know I wouldn't. His agent is probably partly to blame for this, but again, only trying to cash in on his fame right now. Uh, can you say Micheal Jordan? He pimped Gatorade, underwear, McDonalds, sneakers, etc., etc., etc., etc. There is not a man alive that cashed in on his fame more than MJ.
