Radar Online says Tom Brady is allegedly interested in trying stand up comedy. A source tells the website, “Tom was a terrific quarterback, but he needs to toss this idea before it’s too late.As a comic — he’s strictly a water boy. His ego inflated when Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin and Rita Moreno gushed over him in 80 for Brady. The ladies were super nice to him and he did a nice job reading professionally written material in a small part — but he’ll be playing in a whole different league if he takes up the stand-up stage. He does a great impersonation of former teammate Rob Gronkowski — and his over-the-top Boston accent is hilarious.''
The Internet reacts
''Tom Brady is actually hilarious. I mean, you saw his FTX investment right?''
“Outstanding quarterback play doesn’t insure being good at anything else. He should listen to his friends, especially the ones who say this is a stupid idea.”
“The byproduct of never being told no?”

Wishing For Success Study A new study by the University of Essex reveals that wishing and hoping makes people more successful. Researchers studied over 1,000 students before concluding that positive emotions like optimism and hope are more often linked with success than negative feelings like anxiety and anger. Professors found that more hopeful students scored better on exams than less hopeful ones.
Lead researcher Reinhard Pekrun says, "Interestingly, we found feelings like anxiety and anger can sometimes motivate us more than enjoyment or relaxation. However, despite its energizing powers, the knife edge of anxiety can lead to mental health issues, undermine the functioning of the immune system, and lead to a drop in performance in the long run. Although the model might seem abstract at first sight, it shows how achievement emotions relate to critically important parts of our lives and can define how we perform in job interviews, tests and other stressful situations. Overall hope was the healthiest and best way to spark success and promote long-term happiness."
