The NFL regular season has come to a close, and now the real football begins. Despite the Patriots' hot 10-0 start, fans and haters alike can agree that New England's last 6 games have been all but promising. It is apparent that injuries have plagued the AFC leader, but with two weeks off before their first playoff game, fans can only hope that Edelman, Vollmer, Jones and Hightower, among others, are ready to go. For Patriots fans looking to ease any anxiety, remember, Tom Terrific is still in the red, white and blue and running the team. Here are 11 things for the Brady lovers to love, and the haters to hate.

1. Brady Found An NFL Team, Even With This 40-Yard Dash Performance

Tom ran a 5.28 40-yard dash...To give you some perspective, QB Payton Manning ran a 4.8, and Patriots rookie Malcolm Brown, who is 6'2" and 319 pounds ran his in 5.05. Clearly speed isn't everything for a QB in the NFL.

2. "I'm The Best Decision This Organization Has Ever Made"

For someone who went 199th overall in the sixth round of the NFL draft, Tom Brady sure did have confidence. With a pizza box between his lanky arm and thin body, Tom decided to say hello to the Owner of his new team: Robert Kraft. Instead of a typical conservative first interaction, Tom told Robert Kraft to his face that he, the kid that was overlooked 198 times and ran a 5.28 40-yard dash, was "the best decision this organization has ever made". Well played, Tom, well played.

3. The Brady Transformation

He went from someone who looks like he solely played college intramural, never found the weight room and rocked the bangs, to a full-grown man headlining magazines and winning Super Bowls. The NFL certainly did good things for Tom Brady.

4. Apparently He's As Good At Drinking Beer As He Is At Playing Quarterback

Brady is a competitor, on and off the field. At a barbecue joint in Foxboro, several Patriots' linemen decided to see who could chug a beer the fastest, and Tom decided to join. Outsized and to everyone's surprise, Tom dominated the contest. According to ex-teammate and offensive lineman, Ross Tucker, "I still have never seen anybody chug a beer faster than Tom Brady. You should've seen the way he slammed down his cup -- it was like he was spiking the ball after a TD. It was hilarious. It was awesome. It was textbook Brady." Brady winning again and again.

5. He Is A Team Player In The Truest Sense

Now a days, it seems that all the news surrounding where players decide to play or not play revolves around the money, and I understand its a business and their livelihood, but where is the sense of team? With quarterbacks being some of the highest paid players in the league, the fact that Tom Brady restructured his contract to allow the New England Patriots to acquire more talent and pay bonuses is a testament to his character and position as the greatest QB of all time (subjective, sure).

6. He Took Deflategate To Court...And Won

Deflategate is the perfect example of the hate for Tom Brady. The Patriots won 45-7, Brady threw an interception and LeGarrette Blount ran for three touchdowns, which singlehandedly outscored the Colts, so clearly any discrepencies with the footballs didn't have that great of an effect. The Wells Report was absolute garbage and ridden with holes, and Brady knew it, so what did he do? He took it and Roger Goodell to court. He knew he was going to win before he even walked into the court, just look at that grin.
7. 4x Super Bowl Champion, 3x Super Bowl MVP, 2x NFL MVP, 11x Pro Bowl...

The list goes on and on. All Brady needs is that fifth ring to silence the besmirching opposition saying that he isn't the greatest quarterback of all-time. The Revenge Tour needs to end with a W at Super Bowl 50.

8. He's Married To Gisele Bundchen

Good for you, Tom, good for you.

9. He Is Loved By Donald Trump

The other day at a campaign speech in Lowell, MA, Trump went off on a tangent about how highly he thinks of Brady, saying "I love Tom Brady, I love him" and "Remember this, Tom Brady injured is still better than anybody else". Politics aside, I think they are a power duo.

10. With This Diet, He May Actually Play Forever

Tom Brady takes his job so seriously that his diet is actually insane. I already know that I couldn't live with this diet. According to his chef, Allen Campbell, Brady eats only the purest.

"No white sugar. No white flour. No MSG. I’ll use raw olive oil, but I never cook with olive oil. I only cook with coconut oil. Fats like canola oil turn into trans fats. ... I use Himalayan pink salt as the sodium. I never use iodized salt. Tom doesn’t eat nightshades, because they’re not anti-inflammatory. So no tomatoes, peppers, mushrooms, or eggplants. Tomatoes trickle in every now and then, but just maybe once a month. I’m very cautious about tomatoes. They cause inflammation. No coffee. No caffeine. No fungus. No dairy. The kids eat fruit. Tom, not so much. He will eat bananas in a smoothie. But otherwise, he prefers not to eat fruits."

11. Finally, Bring Back The Hair

Yeah, call him a pretty boy, but at the end of the day, he wins Super Bowl championships and gets to go home to his wife Gisele. This is the look of a champion. Bring it back, Brady.

As one of the greatest quarterback of all-time, Brady comes under fire a lot for many more things than the aforementioned, but as Bill Belichick puts it, "There’s no quarterback I’d rather have than Tom Brady. He’s the best. He does so much for us in so many ways on so many different levels. I’m really fortunate that he's our quarterback and for what he's able to do for this team. It’s good to win with him and all the rest of our players.”

Right on, Bill.
