Just switched back to a movie I was watching. Football is nowhere near as exciting as basketball. The first Celtics preseason game will be more exciting to me.
To each their own.
Brady and Belichick are arguably the best athlete and coach in American sports history, in any sport. In fact, I would say definitely so in Belichick's case. Guy has won with every kind of team imaginable and had sustained success in a rapidly changing sport in a league designed to promote parity. The Patriots aren't even the same team half to half, never mind season to season. I don't think that the 2nd best American sports coach, whoever it is, is even close to being close to him, personally.
For Brady, he is on a pantheon with Ali, Jordan, and Gretzky, and likely above the latter two at this point. He might not be an athlete, per se, but his discipline, focus, consistency, intelligence, longevity, precision, and clutch play are likely better than any other US athlete in any sport, ever. The guy has to make multiple split-second decisions on every play for almost 20 years now, and almost never makes a mistake. The dude has like 8 go-ahead drives in the last 3 minutes of the 4th quarter or OT in Super Bowls, and it could have easily have been 9 or 10. We could live from now until the end of time, and no one else will ever approach that. He's a machine.
