Tom Brady is the golden child of the National Football League. Whereas other players of incredible talent suffer at the merciless hands of the press, Tom Brady remains relatively unscathed, the Derek Jeter of football. With the return of Tom Brady to the New England Patriots, the rest of the AFC has its collective hands full.

Tom Brady provides instant leadership and accountability to an organization that is run brilliantly from top to bottom. Brady gives the team the emotional lift they need, as well as providing the obvious physical lift that his effortless talent provides. Tom Brady is the consummate professional, and is as gifted lined up behind the center as almost any to have graced the gridiron prior to his arrival.

The Patriots are once again front-runners for the AFC Title, given that Brady will be at the helm for the entire year, unless an unfortunate injury sidelines him this season. The boost to the Patriots will also be felt in the pocket books of the ownership, since Tom Brady puts fans in the stands. His marketability is incredible, given his athleticism, looks, and star-studded female companionship. Tom Brady is the face of the National Football League, and his guile and tenacity are part of football lore.

With the return of Tom Brady to the New England Patriots, it will take a remarkable season again from the surprising Miami Dolphins, led by the steady Chad Pennington, bolstered by the running attack of Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams. The Buffalo Bills will have Terrell Owens catching passes this season, which should prove interesting. The Patriots, however, are the hands down favourite to win the AFC East, as well as the conference.

The Patriots will once again arise like the mythical Phoenix, and they will be led by the incomparable Tom Brady, slinging pigskins down the field with unrivalled accuracy and precision. Brady provides confidence for the rest of the team, feeling as though they can win every game.

The swagger will be back in New England this coming football season, and there is reason for optimism with Tom Brady calling the plays. He is the uncontested leader of the Patriots, and as far as he goes, so goes the rest of the Patriot team. They will be challenged from all angles from teams such as the Dolphins, Steelers, and Colts, but they are certain to be up for the challenge. Sometimes it even seems as though they know what plays the other team will be running. Uncanny. Sort of.
