It's so fascinating to me to watch that aspect of it; if one thought about it intellectually, Tom Brady is everything that most people would admire in an "American". He didn't come from excessive money, he wasn't a bonus baby, he wasn't coddled all the way through college, he didn't pay lip-service to his college time as simply "one step in the master plan"... He is the epitome of the "American way" of pulling himself up by the bootstraps, working hard, working RELENTLESSLY, and simply refusing to lose. He's exactly the living personification of why the 1980 Olympic hockey team captured our hearts and minds. But we also have a streak of having to cut down people that get TOO successful. It's almost like we have to find ways to undermine that success once it gets out of hand.
