Peter King wrote an article last week called Tom Brady is Back. In the article this quote really caught my eye:
“People say, ‘What will you do if you don’t play football?’ Why would I even think of doing anything else? What would I do instead of run out in front of 80,000 people and command 52 guys and be around guys I consider brothers and be one of the real gladiators? Why would I ever want to do anything else? It’s so hard to think of anything that would match what I do: Fly to the moon? Jump out of planes? Bungee-jump off cliffs? None of that s— matters to me. I want to play this game I love, be with my wife and son, and enjoy life.”
Gladiator? Command 52 guys? Wow. I didn’t realize how full of himself he really is. A quaterback in the NFL is no gladiator and he sure as hell doesn’t command 52 guys. He definitely commands the offense but not the defense or special teams. Does he really think the guys on special teams think of him as their leader? Does he really think they go out and put their bodies on the line for him? No way.
Maybe the personality Tom Brady has is what it takes to be successful in the NFL but man his ego is sure big.

Im gunna have to dissagree! As a diehard Pats fan i love brady and everything he has done…yes i was a fan back in the day with “statue” Bledsoe. Tom Brady is such a leader and such a force in the locker room that a team needs. If you ever watch him on the sideline he is always in the lines’ and Wr’s face getting them pumped and focused on the game. And the result is win win win…. what about peyton manning and his ego? hes in every other commercial these days and durring the playoffs he falls apart

When you win 3 Super Bowl’s and are married to a supermodel I think you have the right to have a big ego.
