Al “Bubba” Baker, an NFL player for 13 years with Rookie of the Year and All-Pro distinctions, uses a Mac in his BBQ business and entrepreneurial pursuit.

I wonder if 3 times Super Bowl champion Patriots star quarterback Tom Brady and his supermodel wife Gisele Bundchen will start their own business in the future? Perhaps selling Brady’s SuperBowl winning secret sauce?
