During an interview with 60 Minutes in June 2005 (and updated on Dec. 07), Tom Brady had the following exchange with Steve Kroft...
BRADY: Why do I have three Super Bowl rings, and still think there's something greater out there for me? I mean, maybe a lot of people would say, "Hey man, this is what is." I reached my goal, my dream, my life. Me, I think: God, it's gotta be more than this. I mean this can't be what it's all cracked up to be. I mean I've done it. I'm 27. And what else is there for me?
KROFT: What's the answer?
BRADY: I wish I knew. I wish I knew. I mean I think that's part of me trying to go out and experience other things. I love playing football, and I love being a quarterback for this team, but, at the same time, I think there's a lot of other parts about me that I'm trying to find. I know what ultimately makes me happy are family and friends, and positive relationships with great people. I think I get more out of that than anything.
Brady said, "I wish I knew. I wish I knew." Brady has a 60 million dollar (10 year) contact with the New England Patriots plus millions in endorsements. He is on top of his game at only 30 years of age, and yet he is still unfulfilled.
At the end of that interview, they had this exchange...
KROFT: Anything that really scares you? Anything that intimidates you?
BRADY: The end of my playing career. Big time. ...
Even with all the success, there is a sense of unfulfillment. The Bible tells us the answer to "what I am missing"... it is Jesus Christ as the Lord and Savior of our lives. May Brady soon understand this incredible truth.
