Okay, Tom Brady is the GOAT. Come on. After winning last Sunday\u2019s Super Bowl LV (55), Tom single-handedly has more Super Bowl dubs than any franchise. Speaking of fun facts: it\u2019s been six years since Patrick Mahomes has lost by more than a single score. That\u2019s all there is to know really \u2014 the actual game was a snoozer. There was a lot of potential for an offensive shootout, but unfortunately the Chiefs couldn\u2019t get much going at all. Well, except for field goals. Let\u2019s go Harrison Butker!<\/span><\/p>\n

Really, who could be surprised? The general rule around the league is to never bet against Brady. Fans were quick to arrive via bandwagon back in the summer when Brady left Bill Belichick and New England for warmer weather in Tampa. It also doesn\u2019t hurt that the Bucs also had Mike Evans, Chris Godwin and Ndamukong Suh at the time. Things got even scarier when Tom successfully recruited Gronk, Antonio Brown and Leonard Fournette. Hey, did you know LeSean McCoy is also on the Buccaneers this year? That\u2019s two Super Bowl rings in a row without a snap of football played. Clutch.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is an article for the opinion page after all, so enough statistics and theory \u2014 I\u2019ll say how I feel about Brady winning the 7th ring. Insert eye rolls and respect where respect is due.<\/span><\/p>\n

First of all, I\u2019m a Washington Football Team fan, even if we\u2019re pretty bad and don\u2019t even have a name. It was almost a pleasure to lose to the Buccaneers in the first round of playoffs. While I\u2019m at it, I\u2019ll also mention that Tyler Heinicke performed better than any postseason QB Brady had to face this year.<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019ll be honest though, I used to hate Tom Brady when he was with the Patriots, but after he left, he proved that the success was him and not the system. He is still the bad guy in the league, but who doesn\u2019t love a good villain? I didn\u2019t agree with a lot of the officiating during this game either, but what\u2019s new? Either way, it was a bad game for Tyrann Mathieu. I do love the Chiefs too, so it was a shame they couldn\u2019t repeat their success. Brady just had to solidify himself as the GOAT before Patrick can take off.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
