Re: Tom or Tim? Thank you for finally mentioning sports (which is really my strong suit). People look at Brady now and, well, he’s got the world by the tail, arguably the best to ever play his position, but conveniently forgotten are the years he spent on the bench behind Drew Bledsoe with no one wanting or expecting him to ever play. He stayed with it, perfected his craft and, when his opportunity came, he was ready. He’s so damn good it almost makes you angry to watch him, it looks unfair, too easy. (The very same circumstances surround Aaron Rodgers so maybe there’s something to it.) So, if he wants Giselle, he’s earned her but rolling around in bed with models, who are similar, physically, to a bundle of sticks tied together in the middle with twine, looks more fun than it actually is, take it from the ol’ Tomcat. Notice, it’s always women who mention Giselle (I guess she’s “perfect” to them) but not all guys are looking for her, again, take it from the ol’ Tomcat. Brady raises the level of expectation of the players around him which makes him a great leader. He’s an artist and has the commensurate ego. Tebow, well, he sucks, and if you don’t believe me, just ask him. When things go badly, he blames himself and prays to God to get better so he doesn’t let his teammates down next time. Is Denver as good as New England? Seriously? (as you like to say.) Denver is playing this well because they know Tebow will get the blame if they lose (because he sucks), and there is a freedom in low expectations, but they’ll play their hearts out for the guy because he’s humble and self-effacing. I don’t know who he’s seeing but I know she’s the girl next store. The kind of a girl that will curl up on his lap after a bad game and remind him he’s great in bed, which is what guys are really looking for, after they’ve been the ol’ Tomcat for a while. Tebow allows his teammates to bond with him, and they don’t want their friend to lose, which makes him a great leader. He’s a tortured artist, will never be as good as he thinks he should be, but he’ll never stop trying. And neither will Brady because success is just as much a burden as failure, though more socially acceptable. The great thing is, you don’t have to choose between the two, you have them both at the same time. Despite what Charlie Sheen says, it’s not all about winning-unless that’s all you care about. All the Best, TVA. Ps. I never actually answered the question, “Tom or Tim?” The correct answer is Peyton Manning: good, often great skill set, raises the expectations of teammates and bonds with them. The key attribute of his is self-awareness: he knows who he is, and who people think he is, and plays the two off against each other with great humor. People love to laugh, simple enough, and when he plays the public’s perception of him as “Aww, gee, shucks, I’m just Archie’s boy” verses the ultra-competitive, jerk, big-brother to Eli, I can’t help laughing. I’m assuming his wife is a sweetheart-and searingly, melt-the-eyes-out-of-your-head, hot. He comes in to work like everyone else, neither superman nor supermench: he’s just a real person who happens to do what he does, successfully. I’m just saying, it’s not so bad to be in the middle… Or maybe I just don’t understand the question.
