Or at least you&#8217;d think so if  you were me, which you&#8217;re not. (Don&#8217;t get all broken up about that. You&#8217;re almost certainly better off being you. Unless you always wanted to be the person to write this book, in which case I say hard cheese. Even though no one says hard cheese. Almost hardly never.) And maybe you think so even if you&#8217;re not me, because you love your <a title=\"New England Patriots.com\" href=\"http:\/\/www.patriots.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Patriots<\/a>, or you think <a title=\"Tom Brady at NFL.com\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nfl.com\/player\/tombrady\/2504211\/profile\" target=\"_blank\">Tom Brady<\/a>&#8216;s the bee&#8217;s knees, or, you know, whatever it is you&#8217;re after that makes this book appealing to you.<\/p>\n<p>I feel like I should reiterate, because it&#8217;s still true (hopefully it&#8217;ll change soon) that there is some inaccurate information in the descriptions of <em>Tom Brady vs. the NFL <\/em>on Amazon and Barnes &amp; Noble.com. There are no sidebars about Brady&#8217;s hair, Brady&#8217;s wife or Brady&#8217;s fashion sense in the book.<\/p>\n<p>And, again, here&#8217;s some of what the book <em>actually does<\/em> include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A season-by-season review of Brady&#8217;s career with the <a title=\"New England Patriots web site\" href=\"http:\/\/www.patriots.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">New England Patriots<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>A look at Brady&#8217;s accomplishments as a college player with the <a title=\"Michigan Wolverines football\" href=\"http:\/\/www.mgoblue.com\/sports\/m-footbl\/mich-m-footbl-body.html\" target=\"_blank\">Michigan Wolverines<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>A complete rundown of Brady&#8217;s various records as a pro.<\/li>\n<li title=\"John Elway at Pro Football Hall of Fame.com\">Chapters on 15 of the NFL&#8217;s all-time greatest quarterbacks\/passers: <a title=\"Sammy Baugh at Pro Football Hall of Fame\" href=\"http:\/\/www.profootballhof.com\/hof\/member.aspx?PlayerId=21\" target=\"_blank\">Sammy Baugh<\/a>, <a title=\"Sid Luckman at Pro Football Hall of Fame.com\" href=\"http:\/\/www.profootballhof.com\/hof\/member.aspx?PlayerId=135\" target=\"_blank\">Sid Luckman<\/a>, <a title=\"Otto Graham at Pro Football Hall of Fame.com\" href=\"http:\/\/www.profootballhof.com\/hof\/member.aspx?PlayerId=77\" target=\"_blank\">Otto Graham<\/a>, <a title=\"Johnny Unitas at Pro Football Hall of Fame.com\" href=\"http:\/\/www.profootballhof.com\/hof\/member.aspx?PlayerId=219\" target=\"_blank\">Johnny Unitas<\/a>, <a title=\"Bart Starr at Pro Football Hall of Fame.com\" href=\"http:\/\/www.profootballhof.com\/hof\/member.aspx?PlayerId=200\" target=\"_blank\">Bart Starr<\/a>, <a title=\"Roger Staubach at Pro Football Hall of Fame.com\" href=\"http:\/\/www.profootballhof.com\/hof\/member.aspx?PlayerId=201\" target=\"_blank\">Roger Staubach<\/a>, <a title=\"Terry Bradshaw at Pro Football Hall of Fame.com\" href=\"http:\/\/www.profootballhof.com\/hof\/member.aspx?PlayerId=31\" target=\"_blank\">Terry Bradshaw<\/a>, <a title=\"Joe Montana at Pro Football Hall of Fame.com\" href=\"http:\/\/www.profootballhof.com\/hof\/member.aspx?PlayerId=154\" target=\"_blank\">Joe Montana<\/a>, <a title=\"Jim Kelly at Pro Football Hall of Fame.com\" href=\"http:\/\/www.profootballhof.com\/hof\/member.aspx?PlayerId=112\" target=\"_blank\">Jim Kelly<\/a>, <a title=\"John Elway at Pro Football Hall of Fame.com\" href=\"http:\/\/www.profootballhof.com\/hof\/member.aspx?PlayerId=64\" target=\"_blank\">John Elway<\/a>, <a title=\"Dan Marino at Pro Football Hall of Fame.com\" href=\"http:\/\/www.profootballhof.com\/hof\/member.aspx?PlayerId=238\" target=\"_blank\">Dan Marino<\/a>, <a title=\"Steve Young at Pro Football Hall of Fame.com\" href=\"http:\/\/www.profootballhof.com\/hof\/member.aspx?PlayerId=252\" target=\"_blank\">Steve Young<\/a>, <a title=\"Troy Aikman at Pro Football Hall of Fame.com\" href=\"http:\/\/www.profootballhof.com\/hof\/member.aspx?PlayerId=254\" target=\"_blank\">Troy Aikman<\/a>, <a title=\"Brett Favre at NFL.com\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nfl.com\/player\/brettfavre\/2500606\/profile\" target=\"_blank\">Brett Favre<\/a> and <a title=\"Peyton Manning at NFL.com\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nfl.com\/player\/peytonmanning\/2501863\/profile\" target=\"_blank\">Peyton Manning<\/a>; each paired with a side-by-side career comparison with Brady.<\/li>\n<li>Items on some of the top quarterbacks currently playing in the NFL \u00e2\u20ac\u201d <a title=\"Aaron Rodgers at NFL.com\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nfl.com\/player\/aaronrodgers\/2506363\/profile\" target=\"_blank\">Aaron Rodgers<\/a>, <a title=\"Drew Brees at NFL.com\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nfl.com\/player\/drewbrees\/2504775\/profile\" target=\"_blank\">Drew Brees<\/a>, <a title=\"Ben Roethlisberger at NFL.com\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nfl.com\/player\/benroethlisberger\/2506109\/profile\" target=\"_blank\">Ben Roethlisberger<\/a>, and <a title=\"Eli Manning at NFL.com\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nfl.com\/player\/elimanning\/2505996\/profile\" target=\"_blank\">Eli Manning<\/a> \u00e2\u20ac\u201d along with analysis of how each stacks up\/may stack up with Brady.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The book also includes a foreword written by <a title=\"Pat Kirwan web site\" href=\"http:\/\/www.patkirwan.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Pat Kirwan<\/a>, senior analyst for <a title=\"NFL.com\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nfl.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">NFL.com<\/a>, co-host of <a title=\"SiriusXM NFL Radio\" href=\"http:\/\/www.siriusxm.com\/nfl\" target=\"_blank\">SiriusXM NFL Radio&#8217;s<\/a> <em>Movin\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 the Chains<\/em>, and author of the truly great football book <em><strong>Take Your Eye Off the Ball: How to Watch Football by Knowing Where to Look<\/strong><\/em>.
