How much do I despise Tom Brady?
So much so that I couldn't bear to stay up (now I am back in the UK) to watch the Super Bowl in case he won.
Not only that, but I dislike him so much that after always considering Tampa my #2 team after moving to Florida, I still wanted them to lose.
BUT....
Brady is so easily the GOAT that articles like this, whether I want them to be true or not, are utterly ludicrous.
I don't follow basketball so the analogy is lost on me, but I doubt this.
I doubt the 'other guy' was so important to his team.
I doubt the 'other guy' was MVP so many times.
I don't doubt the 'other guy' couldn't have been replaced by 20 other good players at that time without there being a significant drop-off.
Brady has more rings than the Steelers and the 9ers.
And more than half the NFL teams combined.
Plus, and contrary to what people expected, he's done it with 2 different teams.
I hope he retires and I hope I never see him play again, but to question that he is the GOAT is utterly ridiculous imho.
There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.
