[Evan Lazar] Q: Would you have the same success with the #Patriots if Tom Brady wasn't your quarterback for 20 years? Belichick: "of course not."

Brady made over 230 million dollars with the Patriots on his salary alone. With endorsements, double that.

But yeah, thank GOD he married Giselle, he couldn't have done it without her. There's no way in hell he could've survived on a mere half a billion dollars. People acting as if these uber elite QBs would notice any difference whatsoever in their lifestyle making 20 million instead of 30 million is fucking hilarious.These elite players could take heavy discounts every single year and still live like kings for the rest of their lives on what they make in a single year alone, forget about an entire contract. It's the other guys that have it rough, the average to below average earners who are workhorses and wear their bodies down so quick they only last a few years in the league and never make that much to begin with.
