My Tom Brady Blog

I know, I know. I must be crazy for even the question. How a boy who is rhythm not only destroy the mark of the season for TD, but possibly also go undefeated cannot be the MVP? Only someone who has a personal grudge against the guy might think otherwise. Someone would have to be an habitual fan of Ohio State Buckeye, QB in GQ magazines of hatred or any player who plays for Darth Relampague even entertain the idea that Tom Brady does not deserve the MVP of hatred.

I am also here today (well, sit here really) as someone who is not one of the previous three.Casually as the Wolverines and not hold grudges to GQ club or anyone who plays for the negligible presence that is Bill Belichick.Así now that we are on the same page, let me explain why Tom Brady is not the NFL MVP this season to date.

Yes, Tom Brady will statistically be the player not only this season, but quite possibly never. Yes, the season in a minimum of 14-2, with the possibility of perfection he absolutely finish to view. But do these two things means that he has be MVP. This type of debate arises each year in baseball. Makes more crazy imaginable statistics mean you the player more valuable in your sport? A-Rod has just won the American League MVP. Is only because he put up Mantle and Ruth as numbers?No.Fue because he only itself urged the Yankees playoff.Take A-Rod away and the Yankees do not make the playoffs.

So this brings me to my punto.Lo say audacia.A starting this time in the season, having barely complete 12 week, Brett Favre is the MVP of the NFL. only to support some more ridiculous, let's look at a brief by statistical comparison.

Touchdowns: Brady-39, Favre-22.

Yards: Brady-3, 439, Favre-3, 356.

Interceptions: Brady-4(are_you_kidding?), Favre - 8

Passer Rating: Brady-127.9, Favre 101,5

Why, after of this embarrassing near statistical comparison and knowing that Tom Brady will quite possibly be the quarterback led his team to a perfect season, I believe that Brett Favre old man River is the MVP? Thank you for asking. I'll tell you why. Let's look at some important factors that cannot be overlooked. We'll start simple. Tom Brady actually has a team around him. Brett Favre has players around him.Brady has a computer and a hell of a team in this note. He has more equipped receiver in the NFL, after the quietest theft in the history of the NFL in terms of oficios.Su second receiver could be # 1 on many computers. Wes Welker, # 3, could be # 1 or # 2 on many computers as well. The tandem Maroney and Morris, although nothing surprising has recently provided a sound that runs the game. Add the following to the fact that Brady is protected by the cursed from the great wall of China with his offensive line, and you have all the items for success.I do not degrade its éxito.Él is a surprising quarterback. But keep in mind that we are playing for an incredible team. He is a product of his own talent, but also the incredible talent around him.

Brett Favre, on the other hand, is a product of nothing more than himself. By favour name 4 starters in attack of the Packers Brett Favre or Donald Driver has not called for me. You can recite the trio of wide receiver Patriots, their tight end, running backs, etc. Brett Favre play almost by itself there outside. He is creating a star on a boy named Greg Jennings and until the last weeks were the equivalent of a high school running game behind him.In spite of all this, in spite of the lack of talent around him, in spite of the lack of running game around it until the recent emergence of Ryan Grant, you have an old field marshal doing absolutely incredible things.

And now, in the second reason why Brett Favre and not Tom Brady is MVP right now.The fact that the Patriots are the best team in the NFL and add in the the fact that his schedule has not been exactly, say, demoralizing.Tell me if this line of opponents sounds Mieda you.Buffalo Bills (twice), New York Jets, Miami Dolphins, Cleveland Browns, Cincinnati Bengals. any other person is still shaking?I do not believe it.The only real defense have played this season was Indy and maybe San Diego (although lately not resemble defend anyone).The Packers have also played these teams: Eagles, Giants, chargers, Vikings (twice), bears, @ Denver, Kansas City from @ and Carolina.What I said in a previous post of mine, but I don't think that anyone in the League has had a tougher schedule defensively until the momento.Y however Brett Favre almost without help from anyone has led his team to a 9-1 record.

Add all these factors together, and expresses a thing; most valuable MVP.Jugadora.Brett Favre, in terms of value to his team, is the best player in the ahora.Deje that hatred and proceed comments e-mail messages.

What is that nebulous quality about certain people which produces greatness? Tom Brady, of the New England Patriots, was never expected to achieve such greatness. Yet he has become one of the stars of the NFL. In this article, we will biographically examine the quarterback Tom Brady. But here we will do more then just list his achievements. We will examine how Tom Brady was able to achieve sports greatness. And from this information, possibly understand what is possible for all of us, whatever our endeavor.

The information presented here is solely our opinion, simply because we were not able to talk to Tom Brady directly. But in doing research for this article, we did find some common threads among individuals who have obtained a certain level of greatness. Tom Brady seem to be a good choice for characterizing those qualities. These common threads which are presented here, are the most important elements of this article. Lets start by examining a short biography of Tom Brady.

Tom Brady grew up in San Mateo, California, near San Francisco. He attended Junípero Serra High School in San Mateo, where he became a star athlete. Junipero Serra is an all male high school noted for it's rich athletic tradition. He regularly attended 49ers games in the 1980s, where he became a fan of quarterback Joe Montana. After high school graduation in 1995, he attended the University of Michigan. When he first came to the University of Michigan, there was six other quarterbacks on the Michigan roster which were better then he was. During this time, teammate and future NFL quarterback Brian Griese led the Wolverines to a National Championship with a win in the 1997 Rose Bowl.

At the University of Michigan, he struggled to get playing time. During this time, he even considered transferring to the University of California, at Berkeley. But he stuck it out, and slowly and surely he worked his way up to the starting position for the Wolverines. He eventually started every game in the 1998, 1999 seasons under head coach Lloyd Carr.

During his Junior and Senior years at the University of Michigan, he started to do very well as a quarterback. The Wolverines won 20 of 25 games when he started and shared the Big Ten Conference title in 1998. In the 1999 season, Brady led Michigan to an overtime win in the Orange Bowl over Alabama, throwing for 369 yards and four touchdowns. The NFL scouts started to display an interest in Tom Brady, but he was never considered a highly sought after quarterback. This resulted in him being drafted 199 in the sixth round of the 2000 NFL draft, by the New England Patriots.

When New England drafted Tom Brady, it was unusual in that they decided to have four quarterbacks on the roster that year of 2000. If it had been any other year, he may have not been drafted, at least not by New England. During Brady's first season at New England, he worked his way up from the number four position, to the number two position, and he completed 1 of 3 passes for six yards.

Tom Brady's opportunity to advance to the starting position came on September 23, 2001, during a Patriots home game against their AFC East rival, the New York Jets. At that time, starting quarterback Bledsoe, went down with an injury, and Brady stepped in to become the starting quarterback. From that point onward, Brady led the Patriots to four Super Bowls, with three Super Bowl victories. He won two Super Bowl MVP awards, and has been selected to four Pro Bowls. He was Sporting News Sportsman of the Year for 2004 and 2007. And he was Sports Illustrated Sports Man of the Year for 2005. Not bad for someone who was a compensatory pick of 199 in the sixth round of the NFL draft.

The New England Patriots saw something in Tom Brady, that most NFL teams did not see. In one word, they saw potential. To put it simply, they saw a diamond in the rough, and they new it. So what is it about Tom Brady that has resulted in his amazing accomplishments. Another words, why has he been able to achieve a certain level of greatness. There does seem to be some common threads which make up the core of any individual who has obtained a certain level of greatness. Lets examine some of these common threads.

Tom Brady has always had a burning desire to become the best at what he does. From working his way up at the University of Michigan, to working his way up within the New England Patriot organization, he knows what it is like to struggle. He obviously has God given talent, but he also had a burning desire to develop his talent. Why did he have such a burning desire? Maybe it was the struggle itself and his desire to prove the naysayers wrong. Maybe it is what was instilled in him during his upbringing. Most likely it is a combination of these factors which has resulted in him becoming one of the great quarterbacks of the NFL. But there is something else that we believe is involved here.

Most of us all have a desire to be the best at what we do. But what is it about Tom Brady, who can carry a team 70 yards down field within the last minute of a game, which results in a come from behind victory? What is it that makes him thrive in must perform clutch situations, while many athletes with similar talent are not able to do so? It is that nebulous quality that some individuals have which undoubtedly has to do with the ability to be one hundred percent focused when it counts, no matter what the situation. Tom Brady has this ability. He is able to get into what many refer to as the groove, for a short period of time, where absolutely nothing can interfere with his focus on the situation. And during that situation of intense focus, he is able to use his talents to achieve the objective.

But there is something else which seems to distinguish greatness from mediocrity. That one entity which seems to exist in most people who have achieved a certain level of greatness, no matter what the endeavor may be, is the realization that we are put here on this earth for a purpose. And each of us must fulfill our own reason for being here. You need to be focused in order to fulfill your purpose.

All of us can develop that ability to be one hundred percent focused on the task at hand. But to have a good reason to do so, is what really makes it happen. I am sure Tom Brady, and others who have achieved a certain level of greatness, feel they are put here on this earth for a purpose. And during the drop of time we are here, we all must fulfill our God given purpose and reason for being here. You get one chance, and I believe it is this basic attitude which in the end, is what ultimately leads to greatness. Something that we all can aspire to.

For some reason training stairs are not getting the credit it deserves as a viable fitness tool. Recently I read that superstar quarterback & Super Bowl MVP Tom Brady uses a training ladder. Trains in the school of San Mateo and uses the Sprint ladder as part of his off-season training regime. All I can say is that if it is good enough for a Super Bowl MVP is good enough for me.

Apart from everything that my favorite reason ladder training is indeed are very versatile.

Below are a list of goals and how they can help stairs:

Downstairs training will introduce you with simple walking and combine it with body weight training: in my building, I have access to 20 vuelos.Desde then don't need as many flights but it is nice to have.
Here is a sample training to help you get started:

Regular walking (1 or 2 steps at a time) combined with bodyweight exercises.

Round 1: Warming: walk up to 20 flights at a slow pace (4 to 5 minutes) and then spread on top.

Take the lift down.
