    Tom Brady Didn't Hesitate When Naming the NFL's Top 5 Teams

    By Chris Licata,

    From Scott Hanson to Paul Finebaum , Tom Brady's Fox NFL broadcasting debut in Week 1 had people talking.

    The 47-year-old legend is in the first season of a record-setting 10-year, $375 million deal as Fox's lead NFL color commentary, surpassing his CBS counterpart Tony Romo as the highest paid at that position.

    With a new role comes new responsibilities, and as such, Brady is now in the game of weekly power rankings. On Thursday, September 12, the seven-time Super Bowl champion unveiled his top five NFL teams entering Week 2 of the regular season.

    There weren't any true surprises and Brady didn't hesitate to name his No. 1 team: The Kansas City Chiefs.

    Rounding out the rest of the list were the San Francisco 49ers, Detroit Lions, Dallas Cowboys and Houston Texans.

    "At No. 1, who else?" Brady began. "None other than the Kansas City Chiefs. Listen, they're the defending Super Bowl champs. They cannot win the game on opening night and not be the best team. They're going to be tough to beat all year."

    Kansas City opened the season with a nail-biting 27-20 home win over Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens, which came down to a nullified Isaiah Likely touchdown on the final play.

    Who cares, because the FFL, Which stands for the Flag Football League for overpaid whiners & pansies isn't worth watching anymore. When Roger Goodell & the league told the defenses they couldn't hit the throwers of the football ( HIGH LOW ) or even land on the mofo'ers. I called Bullshiiite on the NFL. I have renamed the league the Flag Football League for guys who want the money but they don't like to be hit. So Goodell might as well put flags on these throwers of the football because once the owners get forced into fully guaranteeing half-a-billion-dollar contracts. There is no way in hell, they want to see them injured for a season or two.
