from different eras. the game has changed so much to the advantage of quarterbacks. brady with his five super bowl titles and four mvps in those games statistically has to be considered one of the greatest. his will to win is surpassed by no one, and you saw just that in yesterday's win. both he and joe were so cool under pressure and the moment was never too big for them. but you give joe montana five wide receivers lining up in a shotgun formation like modern day quarterbacks, he will dissect any defense. brady didn't take the violent hits that joe did either, as the quarterback is more protected now, and tom probably would not have played as long as a result. let's just say they were both the best to play the game in their era. if i'm tom brady at 39 years old, i'd walk away on top, as no one will ever equal his five super bowl titles and four mvps. >> you know, it was just a great way to finish. to celebrate with my teammates and then to see my family, it was just a night i'll never forget. so it's just a great win for our

team. like i said, there's so many great teams i've been a part of. just happy that this team, you know, will be able to be mentioned with some of those other great teams because of ultimately the way that we finished the season. >> all right, brady says he wants to play five more years, but your decline as a player happens fast around 40 years old. we saw that in peyton manning two years ago. congratulations to he and his family. that was the greatest coming in super bowl history, or the most epic collapse depending on who you were cheering for. the debate still goes on right here, joe never lost a super bowl, whereas tom has lost two, so it will go on for a long time but they're both the best of their era. >> it was a great game. >> it was. >> thanks. staying with sports for a moment, if the goal of san jose earthquakes player is to help people, he's a very successful man. during a recent trip to las vegas, he got into a cab driven by a man named pedro. during the ride pedro started talking about the money trouble
