No, sorry, Tom Brady is not a good athlete.

Joe Montana is GOAT: Undefeated in Super Bowls. Drove all the way into the end zone every time. Didn't pout, throw tantrums nor yell at teammates. Came back from cracked vertabrae and ruptured disk to win another Super Bowl. Won two major college bowl games. 6'10" high jumper at Notre Dame. Led his high school basketball team to Pennsylvania state championship, playing point guard. Montana may also be considered GOAT of all athletes.

Anyone saying Brady is GOAT is ignorant of football history and doesn't understand sports, which is why many people say that, maybe as many people as eat at MacDonalds.

0/10 ?? Not even worth my time to write a rebuttal.

A lot of smart aSS answers. I'm I fanboi but I'll still go with Henry Rono. Everything in his life except racing was into a headwind and look what he did. I believe he was capable of more than we saw.

You have no rebuttal, chump, which is why you can't write one. So go pout on the sidelines and maybe Adam will kick a game-winning field goal for you.

Yes, and 3:40 in the mile. You young people need to appreciate what the pioneer runners did for you!

LOL, this has to be a joke. Maybe the most obvious cheat who never failed a test.

Good choice.

I would also say one of his rivals Steve Ovett (as a fan boy). Nobody can ever guarantee that a particular runner was clean, but looking at the way Ovett competed it's hard to believe he would ever have the motivation to take peds. He wasn't even interested in fast times or breaking records (until forced to), just the thrill of dominating other runners on the track. I doubt if he would have that mindset if he had been taking drugs. Between 77 and 81 until he ran into railings, he was almost unbeatable. The only blips really were the 78 800m final to a known drug cheat (Beyer), the Moscow 1500m final (losing to a super motivated fellow all time great when he was a bit knackered and finding the heat difficult), and John Treacy in the post Moscow 5000m run at Crystal Palace (who had just finished 7th in the Moscow 5000m and would have been thrashed had Ovett not had a bad cold and been a bit arrogant).

Hi Chump. Why not listen to what Brady himself says rather than post a link to a fluff piece on one of the most bogus "news" sources of all time.

Anyone who thinks Roger Federer is clean doesn't know anything about tennis. Just because he moves around the court effortlessly doesn't mean he's clean!

C'mon man...all the great ones say that, e.g., Manning, Bradshaw, Elway. Montana was a product of the Bill Walsh West Coast Offense as much as Brady is with the BB system. When Montana left for KC for 92/93, his stats dropped significantly and there were no more SB appearances. You're just one of many Brady haters because of his attitude...no surprises there. Who cares about Brady's personality - the guy's a winner and he may just get yet....another SB this season.

You forgot that 3:24 mid 1500. He wouda been awesome in a race with better wabbits.

"When Montana left for KC for 92/93, his stats dropped significantly and there were no more SB appearances."

Pointing out that someone's performance dropped off at the end of their career doesn't really make your case. Everyone's performance drops off at the end of their career. Otherwise their career wouldn't end. Well, everybody except Brady. I wonder why that is...?

Is this a joke? He went to the dark side after gotten beat by Beyer, obviously.

The real clean super star is Ratcliffe of course: world record for the ages, still fight for a clean sport and more transparency, and had all her samples frozen to be tested at any time with any technique.

Mike Tyson. Anyone who doesn't agree can fight him
