Lindsey Vonn Catches S.B. LV, Tom Brady's Parents Are A Class Act & Mark Yourself Safe From Jackson Mahomes
The NFL made it to the end after the coronabros said it couldn't be done
I don't care if Super Bowl LV was a blowout, it was so damn nice to have a Super Bowl Sunday after the Peter Kings and Mike Florios of the world tried their best to sow so much doubt about the NFL's ability to pull off a season. The college football coronabros failed to kill off a season, and so did the NFL media members who tried so desperately not to let Sunday night in Tampa happen.
What we were left with was a Super Bowl that might've had 25,000 or so people inside the building, but it felt like a Super Bowl. Tiger Woods was in a suite wearing shorts and taking photos. Robert Kraft was hanging with Shaq, Meek Mill and Aaron Judge. Jackson Mahomes was off crying in some corner. Tom Brady's parents were there watching their son add yet another layer to his spot in history. The streaker added some excitement. The halftime show was terrible, like it normally is.
What I'll take away from Super Bowl LV is that it was pretty normal, minus some very dark commercials and pregame programming from CBS and the Shield. Now we move on to the Daytona 500 and yet another layer of bringing this country out of a pandemic. Golf is back to having fans -- at least in Arizona -- and even Spring Training will have fans at games.
The blue checkmark nerds will now move on to calling Super Bowl LV a superspreader event, crush Tom Brady for his relationship with Donald Trump, and continue to live miserable lives. We will not let them win. They will not suck every last drop of joy out of the world.
• Tom Brady set eight Super Bowl records last night, and the Bucs' defense set nine records. While many of Brady's Super Bowl records won't be equaled in your lifetime, his 3,039 career passing yards in the Super Bowl just might be the one that will stand for a hundred years. Second place on that list is Kurt Warner with 1,156 in three games.
• Something was off with Jim Nantz and Tony Romo during the broadcast. Maybe it was the contract thing for Nantz or maybe it was just one of those nights. They just didn't seem as smooth as normal.
• The Masters starts in 56 days.
• Selection Sunday is just 34 days away.
• It's been one helluva run from August when football cranked up to this morning. Football season tends to bring multiple seven-day work weeks for long periods of time, but it would be hard to create a better job than getting to bring you guys the absurdity from the sport we all love. Now don't get mad if you notice I'm slacking a little bit on weekends.
