Don't Kid Yourself, Tom Brady Is No Derek Jeter!
And sorry, but in at least one way he never will be. For the past week I have seen article after article on the Internet comparing the two. I have also heard hours of conversation talking about it thanks to those articles and the upcoming Super Bowl. I just can’t avoid talking about it anymore. To be perfectly clear I am NOT a Tom Brady fan and while I agree they are both sports legends in their own right but….Derek Jeter is in a class of his own!
Just as I am on team Jeter, Rolling Stone is on team Brady going so far as to call Jeter “overrated” HERE. Maybe they should stick to music but regardless, yes, Tom Brady is an incredibly fortunate man. He has a beautiful model wife (hell, even I won’t deny that!), good looks, a fan base that worships the ground he walks on and four super bowl rings. Derek Jeter doesn’t have ANY of that…..OH WAIT……
Jeter has ALL of that and then some. He definitely has the good looks part down. He dated some of the most beautiful women in the world before he finally tied the knot with model Hannah Davis! I mean, I think mensfitness.com absolutely NAILED it with this picture called the “dating diamond.” The women on this diamond are gorgeous.
I mean, hello…..Adrianna Lima anyone? I haven’t met a man yet that would say “no thanks.” So, both men have their supermodels.
Here’s a good one for you. Like Patriots fans, we worship Derek Jeter. In fact, we have adored him for so long and so did the entire organization that he was given a tremendous honor when he was named the 15th Captain in franchise history. He held his title proudly from 2003-2014 and even after he retired we still don’t have a new one. We probably won’t for a long time because those are hard shoes to fill and the Yankees just don’t have that kind of leader on the team yet.
Unlike the Patriots, who have more than one “Captain” and this year for example, Brady gets a co-captain with Rob Gronkowski. Before anyone wants to go off on a tangent and say “you need captains for offensive and defensive lines” OR “Football is different, you can’t judge it the same!” Leadership is based upon the same principles no matter what the context is. Jeter was the very definition of it and didn’t need a wingman.
Oh and how about those rings? Until the Super Bowl reveals it’s winner tonight….Brady has FOUR rings to Jeter’s FIVE and I sincerely hope it stays that way. Jeter was not only the face of the Yankees but he was the face of baseball. His abilities and leadership brought winning baseball back to the Bronx after our own long drought and he delivered under pressure.
Both of these men have been important to their sport. However, there is still another big difference here. Brady has been the star quarterback that Bill Belichick has needed all of these years just as Jeter was the star Captain and shortstop that Joe Torre and Joe Girardi needed but without all of the controversy.
Jeter was the classiest guy in the game. Even some of the biggest Yankee haters but intense baseball lovers I know have said that. You can hate the Yankees all you want but Jeter was all about class and he was and still is so respected. I will NEVER forget how Casey Kotchman tipped his cap as Jeter ran the bases after his infamous 3000th home run hit. Former teammate Johnny Damon even came out of the Rays dugout to congratulate him and David Price graciously left his glove on the mound and walked to the dugout to let Jeter enjoy his moment. That is incredible respect from your peers!
Jeter played the game the right way and he didn’t let his success go to his head. Even off of the field he made all of the right moves. You would find Jeter’s name in the newspaper, but it was all business. There were no unpleasant tabloid stories plastered on the gossip columns. He had a clean image and he was a true role model. I hope that some day my kids will have a “Derek Jeter” to look up to but I wouldn’t be surprised if he is a one-of-a-kind.
