tom brady

some seasons he is great... some seasons he is amazing... consistency, game winning drives, reliability, confidence, patience, above all else class in wins and in losses, that is greatness in a sports hero... when joe montana played, joe montana was my favorite football player for the same reasons... tonight, my current favorite football player broke montana's record, among other records... 13 touchdown passes in the superbowl, montana is now second with 11... first player to throw touchdowns to four different players in a superbowl... four superbowl wins, tied for first with terry bradshaw and joe montana... three superbowl mvps, record... six total superbowls, record for quarterback... belichek ties for six superbowl appearances... this was a great game all the way through... there was more and i will list them below...

first, i will call out the shame of this superbowl ... the sycophants at espn and the rest of the news media (as usual, reporting drama and controversy and focusing on tearing someone down which they do so often it sucks to watch espn or sports news people, rather than focusing on the game and the great plays) once again (and too often) pandering to the lowest human traits by tearing into pete carroll... the throw was off, the receiver did not fight for the ball, the defense gave up 14 points in the fourth quarter and the offence scored none, and pete carroll likely didn't even make the call on the last play, that's why there are offensive coaches, to make the offensive play calls... fact: six times marshawn lynch was given the ball with one yand to go this season and he was stopped five out of six times... fact: if not for a fluke bounce and amazing catch just two plays before, there might not have been a first and goal... news media, your negativity sucks - get a clue news media (not all), most especially espn...

meanwhile, here's the facts:
