MAN CRUSH OF THE MONTH: MAY

MAY 2010
TOM BRADY



I think less is more when describing my Man Crush of the Month. So I'll keep it short & sweet. Whether you want to agree with it or not, Tom Brady is a great underdog story. A lot of people forget...
He was a backup his first two years at Michigan.
He wasn't drafted until the sixth round of the 2000 NFL Draft (199th pick).
Tom started the 2000 season as the fourth string quarterback.
Yet, the next year, in only his second season in the NFL, he won his first Super Bowl and was named the MVP.
Did you know? Tom was also drafted as a catcher in the 18th round of the 1995 MLB Draft by the Montreal Expos.



Besides being able to feed and cloth the hungry and poor with just the glance of his eye, it is rumored that he has also found a cure for cancer. Anyway, I will let his stats do the talking for this month's man crush.

In all fairness to prove he isn't without blemish I saved this video for last. The first few stiff, akward opening seconds of this video is priceless.
How does this video not have one million hits?!
