Todd Bowles called a great game. Patient. Simple. That's the MVP.

Watch CTV cut away yo the Masked Singer and someone forgets to flip the switch on the CBS broadcast and we miss the trophy presentation. I hate that.

Some of those stats (including 2 deep safeties - a record %) seem simple but illustrate his ability to design a scheme against a particular offense. I'd agree he was the coach of the game

Plus golf typically has over a hundred players per tournament and even the best now days are lucky to win 2 or 3 tournaments a year with everything that has to go right with yourself and wrong with dozens and dozens of golfers. Tiger obliterated golf on a level not seen in any other sport, imo.

Nicklaus has more majors and Tiger probably won't pass him. I don't think it's even unanimous that Tiger is the goat golfer. He has the most worldwide wins but majors are like superbowls.

The one thing about the NFL I find a bid weird is how the Owners get the trophy first, ahead of the players.
Unfortunately, due to covid, they don't do the SB trophy walk, which is a great spectacle.

Brady going from Pats to lowly Bucs is eerily similar to Gretzky going from the Oil (barf) to the Kings. From one Dynasty to a struggling franchise.
The fact TB turned them into SB champs the same year compared to what Gretzky did (or never did) in LA, answers the question on GOAT.

Gave me a great cheap shot opportunity, I reached out to a fellow coach who's a defensive coordinator and texted him, "oh that's what a DC does, that's pretty impressive".
Got a stream of swears so impressive that Jesus himself laughed.

Impressive season for Brady. I've never been a big fan but I have to give him his due credit as the guy simply knows how to win big games. Chiefs just didn't play well. They got dominated in the trenches, receivers were sloppy, and Mahomes wasn't very good.

I dont dislike the Chiefs but after they won last year, a few of their guys were going off on how they were going to win 6 or 7 titles. Nice to see them humbled. Mahomes is a tough guy, he could have thrown the ball away and avoided the hits but he played hard to the end.

I think KC's secondary coach probably lost his job tonight. I mean he's been teaching them the whole physical holding receivers up all year, and when the refs picked up on it, he literally had no answers.

I’ve taken great pleasure rooting against Tom Brady his entire career.
But I bend the knee to the GOAT.
Thank God for Eli Manning and Nick Foles, or they wouldn’t shut up about this guy for the next hundred years.

ALL major US pro sports leagues do it. Except for MLS since it follows the worldwide standards of team first on trophies.
It is dumb how the players/coaches that actually do the work itself to earn the trophy don't get to touch it first. The owners getting first grab is all self promotion and egotistical.
But I highly doubt it'll ever change since fans in states don't really care about that, and the owners are the ones that ultimately pay for the whole operation and run the show.

There's no doubt now Brady is the GOAT
Do you guys think Gronk will be back next year?

Tiger made something like 142 straight cuts. The current best active streak is something like 23.
Tiger, Jack, and everyone else.

That front 4 of Tampa was the MVP - it was like watching the 07 Giants.

Jim "Mattress Mack" McIngvale, the Houston furniture store owner who is known for making giant sports bets, has placed the largest wager on Super Bowl LV so far -- $3.46 million on the underdog Tampa Bay Buccaneers at +3.5.
McIngvale flew into Colorado Springs on Wednesday, logged on to the DraftKings mobile betting app from the airport and placed one of the largest bets ever on the Super Bowl. After paying a little extra in juice (-127) to get the Bucs at +3.5, McIngvale would win $2.72 million if Tampa Bay covers the spread.
This year, customers at Gallery Furniture who spend $3,000 or more on a new mattress will get their money back if the Buccaneers beat the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday.
The two largest reported bets on the Super Bowl so far have both been on the Bucs. In addition to McIngvale's $3.46 million wager, a bettor with BetMGM in Nevada placed a $2.3 million wager on Tampa Bay last week.[quote/]https://www.espn.com/chalk/story/_/i...er-bowl-spread

Niners could have beat them last year too, if they would have kept running the ball in the crunch.
