Tom Brady: A New England Treasure

Tom Brady
#12
New England's Sweetheart
FOOTBALL'S NATIONAL TREASURE

Okay, you get the idea. We Massholes LOVE Tom Brady. Adore him. Some might even say we "worship" that football-tossing prince. They would be correct.

Tom Brady is AMAZING for so many reasons, but here are my Top 4 (keeping it a nice, even number)...

1) Tom Brady holds some pretty sweet NFL records. We New Englander's like to set the bar high, and boy did Tommy step up to the plate and deliver. His name is attached to football records that I found on Wikipedia like...

• Highest completion percentage, post-season game (minimum 20 attempts): 92.9
• Highest completion percentage, game (minimum 6 TD passes): 85.3
• Longest pass completion: 99 yards (tied with 12 other QB's)
• Most Passing Touchdowns, Season, Away: 29
• Most Games 3+ TD Passes, Season: 12
• Most consecutive home games with 1+ touchdown pass: 47
• Most Consecutive Uninterrupted Games, 1+ Touchdown Passes: 52
• Most Consecutive Games, 3+ Touchdown Passes: 10
• Most Passing Touchdowns, one quarter: 5

There are dozens more records held and set by Brady, but I don't have room/want to look for them all because he is that good. And I am that lazy. 

THROW LIKE YOU MEAN IT TOMMY!

2) He's got an adorable family (the Brady-Bundchen family is basically a new branch of NE royalty now). Brady and his literal supermodel wife Gisele Bundchen have two adorable kids together (Benjamin and Vivian), and the whole family is unbelievably gorgeous.

3) The Superbowl and Tom Brady are basically synonymous by this point. Yeah, he may not have made it this year, but he's played in 6 in his relatively short career, which is wicked impressive for ANY player/quarterback. How many rings do you have Peyton? Hmmmm??? Thought so...

4) Not only is he an amazing quarterback for the best football team to every exist, but Brady is also passionate about volunteering. As a celebrity athlete, Brady can help get charities much needed attention and donations through his participation, and he is very generous in that sense. Brady has volunteered with Best Buddies International, and the Boys & Girls Clubs of America, among other charities.

There you have it Massholes (and other awesome readers). My top 4 reasons for why Tom Brady is AMAZING. I left out "perfect eye candy" because you'd have to be wicked blind (or boring) to not feel me there. Feast on the pics of Brady in all his glory up above, and leave a comment saying who is your favorite football player and why.

P.S. If it's not Tommy, YOU'RE WRONG. Kay, bye.
