I like Brady. He is a very good quarterback, and he deserves to be a unanimous first ballot Hall of Fame inductee.

But he is NOT seven hours good.

My feeling is that if Peyton Manning or Brett Favre had been drafted by Belichick, the outcome would have looked a lot like Tom Brady.

This reminds me of when basketball media tried for a couple years to convince us that Larry Bird was the greatest of all time.

I loved the Celtics and Larry Bird, but I would have drafted Magic Johnson or Michael Jordan before I drafted Larry Bird.

I get the uneasy feeling that sports media believe they need to elevate white athletes from time to time to keep white spectators interested.

Completely false - I like great athletes, great games, and great rivalries.

Nothing else matters.

Bird and Magic made immediate impacts for the Lakers and Celtics. Jordan not right away.

Check out youtube videos on who the players say was the greatest.

Magic and Bird both say they worried about each other...not so about MJ.

Now, I'd take any of the three on my team!
