Two future Hall of Famers will meet Sunday at Gillette Stadium: Tom Brady versus Drew Brees.

If you could choose one, which would you take? Brady is the All-American Dream; Brees the All-American boy-done-good.
Brady is the stereotypical quarterback: tall, handsome, ridiculously rich and married to a Victoria’s Secret model.
“He dresses like he’s on the cover of magazines. He wears a scarf, for crying out loud,” said Gus Kattengell, host of The Sports Hangover on WMTI-FM, 106.1.

“He probably dresses the dog.”

Brees is barely tall enough to see over his offensive line.

While he’s also loaded financially, Brees has charmed the Crescent City with his everyday-man persona, like the time he tweeted Halloween pictures of himself as Daddy Iron Man, his wife, Brittany, as a princess, and son, Baylen, in charge of candy collection.
“Normal guy,” Kattengell said.

Consider it GQ versus BBQ. Brady appears on the cover of the men’s magazine, and Brees, a Texas native, eats barbecue beef sandwiches.

High cheek bones vs. a gracious smile. Arm vs. Arm.

“I think they each have their own playing styles that are also differentm but both very effective,” New England coach Bill Belichick said. “Both smart guys that see the field well, make quick decisions and manage the game well, find the right matchups, get the ball to their productive players and let them do a lot of the work, and stay out of bad plays.”

Their heroics have transformed historically underachieving franchises into perennial Super Bowl contenders. Brady has won three Super Bowls, the last in 2004. Four seasons ago, Brees led the Saints to the franchise’s first Super Bowl victory.
