Tom Brady has it all: the looks, the model wife, a Hall of Fame head coach, four rings and a fan base that worships him.
We had a guy like that once upon a time. Went by the name of Derek Jeter. The Captain. Only he had five rings and several beautiful girlfriends before he finally settled down and married model Hannah Davis. His Gisele Bundchen, so to speak.
Brady is a New England icon because he and Peyton Manning were the equivalent of Bird versus Magic for a younger generation. Brady brought pride back to the Boston area even before 2004, when the Red Sox overcame a 3-0 deficit against Jeter’s Yankees and finally ended their 86-year World Series curse.
