It is time to marvel in the greatness...

I have been a sports fan my entire life. I have seen Michael Jordan, Alex Rodriguez and Wayne Gretzky all of who may end up being the best ever in eachs respected sport. It is time to realize the greatness of Tom Brady, Bill Belichick and the entire Patriots team.

You all know by now I am the biggest homer alive but there is no doubting the greatness of Tom Brady. The numbers that Brady has put up this season are epic. People saw Marino back in the day put up 48 TD's and said that it will never be broken. Then in 2004 Peyton Manning did the same thing and again people said it was the greatest single season of all time. Well now it is 2007 and it is even better than 2004.

Tom Brady is on pace for over 50 TD passes and a QB rating over 130. These numbers are the type of numbers I put up playing Madden on Rookie. And even then my rating is not 130 because I give up some picks and such. His yardage is out of this world as well. There is not a QB playing or that has played that has been near the level of Tom Brady this season. He is in the “ZONE” right now. I can not imagine what it feels like to be this good at anything. He is unworldly.

Many people are naysayyers and will try to attack the Patriots and how they “run up the score”. Well this is professional football people if you want them out of the endzone, stop them. The offense with the likes of Randy Moss, Donte Stallworth and Wes Welker is the greatest core of WR's in the NFL. They are to get much of the credit that we all give to Brady because they are the ones catching those frozen ropes and getting them in the endzone for 6 so often.

People will attack Bill Belichick and his spygate and the cheating. Well get over it people it was determined to give him no advantage. He is doing the greatest coaching job of any coach ever to live. This is the salary cap era. The era where teams do not win for sustained number of years. Yet he has found a way to do it year in and year out.

Look at this and remember it. As a Pats fan or a fan of another team because this may be the greatest team of all time. When we are looking back in 20 years or more and telling our kids and grandkids about the greatest team of all time this is what we will have to talk about. When they look back and see the stats that this team put up it will be unfathomable to them. It is a great time to be a fan and see the greatness. People call Gretzky the Jordan of Hockey, well when it is all said and done we will be calling Jordan, Gretzky and Arod the Brady of that sport.
