As far as sex symbols, there’s the all too brief peak of say, Lindsay Lohan.

As opposed to the sustained excellence of Jennifer Aniston.

But then there are the true elites, who are on another level entirely.

Who manage to combine both qualities.

Who blaze brilliantly, and keep that fire going for superhuman lengths of time.

Remember that ignorance about interesting Tom Brady factoids is among the leading causes of feminine dryness.

The research is very clear on that.

Tom Brady is the greatest winner in the history of pro sports.

I’m taking nothing away from anyone in any other sport.

His career record is 125-121 (117-117 regular season).

Joe Namath is already in, with a record of 64-64-4.

And a grand total of two career postseason victories.

By way of further comparison, Peyton Manning has three fewer losses than Brady.

And 86 fewer wins.

Then come back and win the opening game of the next season.

Furthermore, Brady has more road wins (124) than Brett Favre had home wins (123).

And almost as many as Montana (65) and Aaron Rodgers (64)combined.

Brady has lapped the field of the most successful quarterbacks to ever play the game.

Speaking of the Hall of Fame …

Brady had three separate Hall of Fame careers.

A few seasons ago, we were splitting his career into two distinct Canton-worthy halves.

Kerr is the NBA’s all time leader in 3PT%.

–Among his 10 championship game wins, he beat the conference No.

He beat the No.

1 passing defense twice (Baltimore in 2011, Jacksonville in ‘17).

–Among his seven Super Bowl wins, he beat the league’s No.

2 defense, the Eagles in 2004, and No.

1 defense, the 2014 Seahawks’ Legion of Boom.

–His 48 starts and 35 wins include 14 game winning drives and nine comebacks.

In conclusion …

Tom Brady has been a big hairy, American winning machine.

So I’ll end it here.

With a final caution.

I hope you appreciated all you’ve witnessed with this singularly incredible athlete.

Because unless he unretires again, his kind passes this way but once.
