It seems like some people “have all the luck” when it comes to intelligence, charisma, and good looks. Ball all that up, throw in the fact that this show subject is the greatest quarterback to play in the NFL, and you have the ever-charmed, often-despised, Tom Brady. Brady went from a low-level draft pick out of Michigan to the elite player we all know, who holds the record for most Super Bowl victories and is considered the GOAT of pro football. But his controversies haven't avoided the headlines. What was it like when his girlfriend found out that his recently dumped girlfriend was pregnant? What was it like in the Brady household growing up? And many fans have had their hearts ripped out of their chest by this man? We'll dive into all this and more in the Tom Brady episode of AHC Podcast.
