Three great quarterbacks are flying to the Pro-bowl in the same plane which crashes in a tragic accident. The three all arrive in heaven at the same time and are met at the pearly gates by God himself.
God asks Peyton Manning: "What do you believe?"
Peyton thinks long and hard, looks God in the eye, and says, "I believe in hard work, and in staying true to family and friends. I believe in giving. I was lucky, but I always tried to keep my sense of humor and to do right by my fans."
God can't help but see the essential goodness of Manning, and offers him a seat to his right.
Then God turns to Brett Favre and says, "What do you believe?"
Brett says, "I believe that passion, discipline, courage and honor are the fundamentals of life. I, too, have been lucky, but win or lose, I've always tried to be a true sportsman, both on and off the playing fields."
God is greatly moved by Brett's sincere eloquence, and he offers him a seat to his left.
Finally, God turns to Tom Brady: "And you, Tom, what do you believe?"
Tom replies, "I believe you're in my seat."
