From New England to Denver, Tom Brady kicks ass on and off the field. He’s been breaking record after record, and destroying the game. He has a gorgeous family, a beautiful set of Super Bowl rings, and enough talent to last him well into his 40’s. Here are my 11 reasons why Tom Brady is the best quarterback in the NFL.

1. Unanimous MVP

Does this one even need an explanation? He was the first unanimously voted NFL MVP. No one has ever done that before, even when Brady took his team to an undefeated regular season, he wasn’t voted MVP unanimously. I doubt there will be another player to have the same impact that Brady has.

2. Four Rings

He’s tied with Joe Montana, and Terry Bradshaw for most Super Bowl wins in the NFL. He has appeared in a total of 6 Super Bowls, the most in the NFL. He almost has enough rings for one hand!

3. Most playoff wins

Brady has won a total of 22 playoff games. The next closest quarterback had only won 16 in his career. That quarterback is Joe Montana. He has blown the competition out of the water when it comes to playoff wins. He also has the most consecutive wins in the postseason with 10 wins from 2006-2011.

4. Uggs

Brady endorsed Ugg brand shoes and didn’t get any flack for it. Or rather, he didn’t get nearly as much flack as any other athlete would have. Now this wasn't Brady's best moment, but it certainly wasn't his worst!

5. Most regular season wins


Now technically, Peyton Manning and Brett Favre have Brady beat on this one, but there is one major difference: Brady has the most wins while remaining on one team. Brady has brought the New England Patriots 172 wins over his 16 seasons. With both Favre and Manning retired, there’s no doubt that he will take the record within the next two seasons.

6. Six AFC Championships

Brady has appeared in 10 AFC Championships and has won 6, the most for an NFL quarterback.

7. Three Super Bowl MVP’s

He has won MVP in all but one of the Super Bowls that he won with the Patriots. He is tied with Joe Montana for the most.

8. B and B

Belichick is debatably one of the best coaches in the NFL, and the combination of him and Brady is deadly. Together they have the most Super Bowl appearances of any quarterback/coach duo. They are friends off the field and a power couple on the field. Brady and Belichick bring honor to New England one Sunday at a time.

9. Most games with 50+ points

Getting anything over 50 points in a football game is an accomplishment. Doing it eight times is insane.

10. He’s 38 with no signs of stopping

This will be Brady’s 17th season in the NFL, and he’s just as strong as he was when he started. He’s beating records left and right, winning playoff games, and making the most of his receivers. 16 seasons, with 4 rings, a career postseason record of 22-9, 58,028 passing yards, 428 touchdowns, and a 96.4 quarterback rating makes him one of the greatest NFL players of all time.

11. His Family

He has the perfect family. His wife is literally a model, as in, she models for a living. Gisele is beautiful, and so are his children. He's an amazing father and husband and treats his family well.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
