Brady's mythology is even more out of control than MJ (who actually was the best player in his sport for over a decade).

He (Brady) doesn't deserve it but it is there (Jack has more majors than anyone and Brady has more SBs)...I understand football is a team game versus individual sport like golf...this said any great golfer (I'm a +3 handicap...not -3 but +3 meaning below scratch), understands that Tiger played the game at a completely different level than Jack (Jack would admit this just like how Brady admits it for PM15).
Yes, Jack had more power than most in his era (stood out to the likes like Sam Snead and Palmer who also could hit it a mile and take advantage of par 5s like Jack and Jack made some darn good putts over his career to win the most majors), but nothing like Tiger. Tiger still to this day did things on the course like you see PM15 doing on the football field that no one else could do (guys like Allen, Burrow, and Jackson would be akin to Phil...great but just a tad short to Tiger).
BTW, I do think PM15 needs to bring some magic back into his play if he wants to win another SB (it is like he has been coached out of some of his magic by Nagy / Reid).
