This is Tom Brady's World: the Rest of us are Just Living in It

This is Tom Brady's World: the Rest of us are Just Living in It

    Brady won for the seventh time. That is a record; it will be hard to beat. Plus, he has been winning more in his older years. That may be impossible to beat, too. The dude can play.

I am happy the Patriots did not get another one. I get tired when one franchise wins too many titles. Because it is almost never mine, for sure. Mine are ones and dones, at best.

I like sports. A lot. I spend a lot of time watching, thinking, pondering, analyzing, hoping, for some teams and individuals. I play some too, so do some family members. It's good.
 
Props to the man (Brady) ; he seems like a decent human being.  And he is doing things really well at an age when no one thunk it! I remember being 43... It is pretty inspiring.

Professionally accomplished quarterbacks become legends, like Johnny Unitas, Joe Namath, Frank Tarkenton, and maybe a few others, like Paul Hornung... Take your pick.

My alma mater Brigham Young has many legends at that skilled position, some of whom became mythical in the pros: Jim McMahon, Steve Young. Zach Wilson may be next... I met an earlier one at church a few years ago, Gifford Nielsen, who played for the Houston Oilers after the BYU Cougars.

Rex Grossman was the man from my town... He was ten years younger than me, from my same high school; he went to the University of Florida in Gainesville, was a Heisman candidate with great career numbers, went on to take the Chicago Bears to the Super Bowl (lost to all time great Peyton Manning), then finished with the Washington Redskins, while I lived here in the area, and was not known for being that great but earned a name as Sexy Rexy. He made some money and had some good times in the National Football League, the association and lucrative trade where many have made their imprints, the largest now in someways of:

Tom Brady, the winningest NFL quarterback of all time. 2021.

Others tried to join other teams at the end of their careers and failed to get there. Joe Montana, Patrick Rivers, Brett Favre. It worked out pretty well for Manning; his little brother Eli had a great career too. Both won two titles. Not bad, knowing their dad, Archie, was a Hall of Famer as well.

Some quarterbacks won Super Bowls as not the most outstanding thrower, or runner, but they managed their teams well, like the Raven back in 2003 with a dominant defense, the Bucs a bit earlier with much of the same.

Seven out of 55 our his now, the former Wolverine drafted in the seventh round.

Sevens are a thing with Brady, right?
 
Lucky sevens.  Seven is divisible into 21. Not sure 2021. Let's check.

7 / 2021 = 28.888888888888... Forever.

There is something magical in that, I am sure.

Tom Brady, modern day magician, wizard, all around amazing dude.

Even though Lebron is far more superior. But he is still a young pup at 36 or 37.

How much more will 40 year somethings be a thing? Federer, maybe? Serena? Tiger.

Okay, I guess there other people in this world than Tom Brady or stars in American football. There is also a thing called soccer, that makes many thousands many millions, and many others a decent living.

Sports with spheroids, sports without... 

What does make our planet go around? Sports are good diversions for most.

I had a headache today. Not too bad. Did some work, made some money. Ate well, healthy.

Fajitas, and noodles before that...

We're just living in it.
