Tom Brady is now underrated

Tom Brady knows.

You could hear it when he spoke after Monday night’s 42-14 beatdown of the previously 11-1 Houston Texans. And again Wednesday.

Shut up, Dan.

Don't put the whammy on it.

Good article Dan. Sport fans here are truly blessed. I had the pleasure of watching Russell through the 60's and now the pleasure of watching Brady. It's been a hell of a run. These two are in a class by themselves. Team players to the core. Championship driven. Individual stats are never that important.

Kind of jinxing us dont you think?

Bill Russell?? He is nothing like him.  Try Larry Bird if you need to compare.

Sorry Dan, The greatest athelete ever is Edwin Moses 122 victories in a row . 10 years without losing!! But Tom is playing great this year!!!

Terrific piece Dan. Tom's on that highest plateau reserved for Russell, Bird, Orr, Yaz, Clemmons, Pedro and blow Brady. 

I remember going to a Celtics game and Larry Bird was just putting on a show - a clinic. the crowd became overwhelmed and just all stood up and gave him a standing ovation chanting Larry! 

Thats the way I / we feel
