Two GOATS

Those of you not as obsessed with football as I am might not get this reference. But I think what happened with Tom Brady and the patriots can be instructive for Biden doubters.

Brady was the greatest quarterback of all time, the GOAT, smashing all the records and winning more Superbowls than any other, in concert with brilliant coach Bill Belichick. All was great until Brady started approaching the forty year old mark, which was pretty much considered the finish line for an NFL quarterback. None in history had come near it without a significant decline in the quality of their play. Belichick, not one to be unprepared, drafted Brady’s replacement for the future, a young stud named Jimmy Garoppolo. But Brady eyed his competition and, instead of sunsetting, he knuckled down and had some of his best seasons ever, continuing to do his winning Superbowls and breaking records thing. Eventually Garoppolo was traded and Brady just kept going strong. Belichick apparently didn’t want to bet the franchise’s future on a quarterback past his expiration date who could fall apart any time, so he was allowed to become a free agent and go on to the highest bidder. Then he went on to win a Superbowl with Tampa Bay and finally retired at age 45.

With Biden the parallel is obvious. Conventional wisdom says he should be losing his faculties and sharpness past the age of 80 where he is now. But he’s proving to the world and his party that he’s the GOAT of politics. He says he wants to run again, and after his masterful State of the Union speech we should take heed of his strong convictions and take a chance on him.

Just like Brady he’s poised to prove everyone wrong.
