A "little" ridiculous? Tom Brady the FOOTBALL PLAYER remains above reproach. Tom Brady the public personality/self-promoting marketer is starting to look downright narcissistic.
I can't really figure out why he's doing this kind of thing, especially to such an extent. It's not like he needs to at all. He and his wife have more money than they'll ever be able to spend, yet he's gone deep into product marketing. Then there's the broadcasting mega contract he signed. It doesn't make a lot of sense for someone already independently wealthy many times over.
Because basically, someone else here nailed it when they said great guy as a football player, douche as a person.
I've felt that way often, but I am also aware these guys are aware they ain't us and vice versa. Gronk and Brady look like these great nice guys, and nothing against them, they'd probably be great guys with their flaws, with their problems, whatever, if they didn't win The Big Prize years ago.
Now they're what you'd expect of a person with no real problems, who hears 24/7 that they are not quite the same species as the rest of us. To be fair Brady still shows glimmers of awareness of the ludicrousness of it all.
But I don't think he's this great guy. I think he thinks (and he's pretty much right) "All I do is win win win win." And eventually, if you're that good at a game for children, you're going to conclude that everything about you is what everybody else wants to be or wants to see.
Now pardon me while I villain-monologue...
And underneath it all, Homelander Brady, you are deeply aware that you will always be second-most-beautiful in your house, the second-highest earner, a great, big, steaming... number 2.
MUAHAHAHAHHAAAAA
