th street heliport, when I saw three kids, getting off a helicopter, all in winter apparel (I guess 65 degrees was cold for them.), with a beautiful woman, and an incredibly good looking guy following them.Then, like a giddy teenager, I recognized those adults to be Tom Brady and his wife, Gisele.
They had a security person with them, and as they approached their black SUV, I was waiting for them. After Brady loaded the car with luggage, he signaled to his security that I was ok to come over.“Tom,” I excitedly said, “Would love to get one of my famous shirtless celebrity photos with you; however, I need to warn you that I’m an avid Steelers fan.” Brady chuckled, and said, “Well, I'll take a picture with you anyway.”I should have prefaced this by saying that I’ve spent most of the last 20 some years not liking Brady because he and the Patriots were a threat to the Steelers record of six Super Bowl wins.
By this point, the Patriots had tied the Steelers with six wins.So, you may ask, then why did you take a picture with someone who you disliked?
Simple. It was Tom Brady, unquestionably the greatest football player of all time, referred to as GOAT. And it’s not every day that you get to encounter absolute greatness.
