Tom Brady, at the age of 43, led the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to beat the Kansas City Chiefs 31-9 in Super Bowl LV at home on Sunday. That is the second Super Bowl championship of the Bucs in franchise history and the seventh of Brady, who already beats any player and team in the number of top honors he has won.
That explains why the NFL compared him with Michael Jordan, Lionel Messi and Wayne Gretzky, each of whom is (one of) the greatest in basketball, football and ice hockey. Is Brady now the greatest athlete in the North American sports world? Even Greater than Jordan?
