Too big to fail: Trump, Brady and Federer

The parade of successful egotists continues – President Donald J. Trump, all-time men’s Slam winner (and recent Australian Open champ) Roger Federer and, now, record five-time Super Bowl champ and record four-time Super Bowl MVP Tom Brady. He led the New England Patriots to a come-from-behind, overtime victory over the Atlanta Falcons in Super Bowl LI, 34-28.

These three hardly need more accolades to fan the flames of pride. And while Fed may be more elegant and Brady more circumspect about it, they both have a manner about them that says with Trump, “I’m a winner, and you’re not.”

Look, it takes a certain ego to be a champ and maybe even a big one to make sure that you either don’t fail or that you keep coming back again and again until you’re the last man standing.

I’m no fan of either Feddy Bear or Tommy, Can You Hear Me?, but I must concede at this point that they’re the best at what they do to date, though not the so-called GOAT (Greatest of All Time). Time hasn’t ended – yet.

As for Trumpet, let’s pray that his ego won’t allow him to be anything less than excellent.
