From New England to Denver, Tom Brady kicks ass on and off the field. He’s been breaking record after record, and destroying the game. He has a gorgeous family, a beautiful set of Super Bowl rings, and enough talent to last him well into his 40’s. Here are my 11 reasons why Tom Brady is the best quarterback in the NFL.

1. Unanimous MVP

Does this one even need an explanation? He was the first unanimously voted NFL MVP. No one has ever done that before, even when Brady took his team to an undefeated regular season, he wasn’t voted MVP unanimously. I doubt there will be another player to have the same impact that Brady has.

2. Four Rings

He’s tied with Joe Montana, and Terry Bradshaw for most Super Bowl wins in the NFL. He has appeared in a total of 6 Super Bowls, the most in the NFL. He almost has enough rings for one hand!

3. Most playoff wins

Brady has won a total of 22 playoff games. The next closest quarterback had only won 16 in his career. That quarterback is Joe Montana. He has blown the competition out of the water when it comes to playoff wins. He also has the most consecutive wins in the postseason with 10 wins from 2006-2011.

4. Uggs

Brady endorsed Ugg brand shoes and didn’t get any flack for it. Or rather, he didn’t get nearly as much flack as any other athlete would have. Now this wasn't Brady's best moment, but it certainly wasn't his worst!

5. Most regular season wins


Now technically, Peyton Manning and Brett Favre have Brady beat on this one, but there is one major difference: Brady has the most wins while remaining on one team. Brady has brought the New England Patriots 172 wins over his 16 seasons. With both Favre and Manning retired, there’s no doubt that he will take the record within the next two seasons.

6. Six AFC Championships

Brady has appeared in 10 AFC Championships and has won 6, the most for an NFL quarterback.

7. Three Super Bowl MVP’s

He has won MVP in all but one of the Super Bowls that he won with the Patriots. He is tied with Joe Montana for the most.

8. B and B

Belichick is debatably one of the best coaches in the NFL, and the combination of him and Brady is deadly. Together they have the most Super Bowl appearances of any quarterback/coach duo. They are friends off the field and a power couple on the field. Brady and Belichick bring honor to New England one Sunday at a time.

9. Most games with 50+ points

Getting anything over 50 points in a football game is an accomplishment. Doing it eight times is insane.

10. He’s 38 with no signs of stopping

This will be Brady’s 17th season in the NFL, and he’s just as strong as he was when he started. He’s beating records left and right, winning playoff games, and making the most of his receivers. 16 seasons, with 4 rings, a career postseason record of 22-9, 58,028 passing yards, 428 touchdowns, and a 96.4 quarterback rating makes him one of the greatest NFL players of all time.

11. His Family

He has the perfect family. His wife is literally a model, as in, she models for a living. Gisele is beautiful, and so are his children. He's an amazing father and husband and treats his family well.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
