NBC Sports recently commissioned Tom Brady to pay tribute to Secretariat in time for the 50th anniversary of the thoroughbred’s legendary Kentucky Derby victory. However, the short clip took an unexpected turn when the seven-time Super Bowl champion compared himself to the famous American racehorse.
Brady’s Comparison to Secretariat
Brady began by drawing parallels between his story and Secretariat’s fate. He first shared how Penny Chenery got Big Red by losing a coin toss in 1969. Then, the former Michigan standout shared how he got his break.
Brady’s Story About Fate
“I wanna tell you another story about fate, takes place about 30 years later,” Brady said. It appears that he was trying to convey the idea of how fate played a significant role in both his and Secretariat’s successes.
Unexpected Turn
The comparison between Brady and Secretariat was not expected, but it added an interesting twist to the tribute. It highlights the importance of seizing opportunities and making the most of them, even in seemingly unlikely scenarios.
