Let's see.
Three Super Bowl championships. Four AFC championships. Two-time Super Bowl MVP and the 2007 regular season MVP. Five-time Pro Bowler and 2007 All-Pro. Over 32,000 passing yards and 235 touchdown passes. A career record of 101-31 in the regular season to go with a 14-4 postseason record.
All Tom Brady does is shred opposing defenses and win championships.
And for that, the NFL Network ranks him #21 on their list of all-time greatest players. That's right, Peyton Manning and Brett Favre - with a combined record of 2-2 in the Super Bowl - will receive higher rankings than the best quarterback since Joe Montana and arguably the greatest to ever play the position.
I bet the San Diego Chargers defense is real happy about this. It's bad enough for them that they have to deal with Brady this Sunday and he's already out to prove he doesnt need the likes of Randy Moss to be an MVP. With this slap in the face, the Chargers defense could find itself giving up a 400-yard/5-touchdown afternoon.
P.S. While I understand the obvious comparisons between Brady and Derek Jeter - the championships, the respect of their peers, the women - I would have rather the NFL Network went after Bill Russell to present Brady.
