IF YOU forget about his supermodel wife, Super Bowl titles and million dollar contracts, Tom Brady is just like everyone else.

Just check out his Facebook page, where he pokes fun at his bosses, posts his old resume, and shows fans his childhood photos and celebratory post-game images.

He does have some help, of course.

“I have a great friend of mine, Ben, who helps me out with it,” Brady said on a conference call on Wednesday. “He’s done a great job. Social media — I’m kind of an old school — I’ve been very reluctant over the years. I think over the last couple of months, we’ve tried to show the fans that there may be some fun pictures to share and some other things that have been a part of my life. I think it’s fun for the fans. Hopefully they enjoy it. I’ve enjoyed kind of opening up a little bit, relaxing about some things about me that I probably wouldn’t have in the past.”

If football doesn’t work out, Brady can always dust off the old resume.

Even the teams he roots for win. Good for him.

Brady hasn’t forgotten his roots. He would like to forget his haircut, however.

He freaks out on roller-coasters just like you.
