But I had no idea tom brady had a niece that played softball at UCLA. 2 time Pac12 player of the year. And his sister was an alla American pitcher at Fresno state. Geez, talk about a bloodline!

I’m not a Tom Brady fan, but I love how all these “experts” liked to talk about how he wasn’t an athlete. Dude played 100 years in the NFL and all those supposed “athletes” flame out after 5ish years. IMO he is one of the greatest athletes of all time.

Depends on how you define athlete

he had a gifted arm, but even better vision, memory and processing speed.

He ran like a giraffe though, and he had even worse side to side motion. He maximized his talents though, for sure.

I agree, and I guess I define it differently than some others. I think there is more to being an athlete than just being able to run fast, jump high, etc.

He wasn’t at the top physically but he was no scrub. He wouldn’t have lasted as long in the NFL as he did if he wasn’t pretty dang good physically.

lucky. Which he was that he never had a bad injury.

Also, he was lucky in that he had Dante Scarnecchia, maybe the best O line coach ever, for almost his entire career. Those O Lines were great and did an unbelievable job protecting him over his career.

It's astonishing how often "experts" in many fields are "surprised."

Did anybody watch Tom’s roast on Netflix? If you are into roasts it was one for the ages.

yeah it was hilarious, even though a lot of people are mad about the giselle and aaron hernandez jokes. I love comedy and I can differentiate jokes from reality.
