CNN anchor uses bizarre metric to rank tennis star over Tom Brady

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady is at the peak of his powers at the ripe old age of 45. Brady is widely considered the greatest quarterback of all time, but where does he rank on the GOAT list when taking into account other sports?

Apart from Brady, Roger Federer, Tiger Woods, Rafael Nadal, just to name a few, have been hailed for their longevity. But CNN anchor Kasie Hunt has brought tennis superstar Serena Williams into the fold.

Williams is currently playing in the US Open and defeated Anett Kontaveit to advance to the third round. The 40-year-old is chasing a record-equaling 24th Grand Slam crown in what is expected to be her final tournament.

Hunt took to Twitter to heap praise on Serena, saying her achievements overshadow those of Tom Brady for a rather strange reason.

"Name any other athlete in history, please, who could do what Serena Williams is doing. Tom Brady? He never had a C-section."

Hunt's tweet was in response to an article by Williams, who wrote that she didn't want to have to choose between tennis and family. She added that if she had the opportunity that Brady had, as in to have a wife at home doing physical labor, she could have been more like him. It is certainly food for thought.

For most of us mere mortals, the thought of playing any kind of sport at 45 is not realistic. Your body is worn out, and you don't neccessariliy have as much energy and drive to do things as you did when you were young. This is normal for most of the population.

Try being in a professional environment and not only holding your own, but thriving and still being one of the best in your position year in and year out. For the former Patriots star, that is exactly what is happening.

The fact that he is still playing football at such a high level given his age is nothing short of remarkable. Now, that is not dimishing anything that Serena Williams is doing because she is in the same boat. She is still at the top of her game at age 40.

When it comes to the Tampa Bay quarterback, his numbers haven't declined at all. In fact, they've done the opposite. He posted his highest-ever passing yards total last year (5,316) and threw his second-highest number of touchdowns too (43).

Whatever he is doing off the field with his TB12 method is incredible, and like Williams, he shows no signs of slowing down.
