As awesome as Tom Brady is, I still don't see how he has a better job than (on one extreme) a movie star, or (on the other extreme) the president. Neither of those jobs involves getting clobbered by 300 pound freaks of nature all the time.

The President's wife and most movie stars wives are not exactly the quality of woman that Tom has in Gisele - So his 'part time' job as a husband has to be considered as well when we talk about best jobs ;)

Not to mention Barack makes far less than Brady

Considering the mess left by Bush that Obama has to clean up, i'm not sure getting clobbered by 300 pound linemen isn't the worse deal. That much responsibility probably feels like a 2000 pound weight on your back every day.

Ditto. A professional football player (or any sport) isn't as appealing or financially appealing as a "movie star." Here are examples of my point.

Trivia for American Gangster (2007)

When this project was canceled by Universal, actors Denzel Washington and Benicio Del Toro received their salaries nonetheless. A pay-or-play deal was stipulated in both of their contracts that Universal would pay Washington $20 million and Del Toro $5 million regardless of whether the film was made or not. Once this project was green-lit by Universal a second time, under Ridley Scott's direction, Washington returned to the project without an upfront fee. He also received half of his $20 million salary for the previous year's Inside Man (2006), another Imagine Entertainment production.

True, but as Wes Welker's HS teammate, Graham Colton once said:

"But the thing is, I've always said, Wes would play football even if nobody was in the stands and I'd play music with nobody in the audience."
So, I think, would Tom. (Not that the money doesn't help. ;))

Besides the money, the one benefit of being a starting quarterback in the NFL is that you can look (and have a voice) like Jeff Garcia and have two reasonably attractive females (one of which a former Playboy playmate) fight over you. So, money can make you look good looking if you aren't already an attractive person. This is true if you're a famous actor or a member of a popular band. Also, by just being a sports athlete, it can help you to meet and in some cases get involved with a famous and/or reasonably attractive female no matter if you're a star player or not. For instance, Reggie Bush is dating Kim Kardashian and Rashad McCants is dating her sister, Khloe. The point is, neither of these two players are really star players. Bush is overrated but a star he isn't... Not yet.
