Here's a small stat: Mahomes has never, ever lost any NFL game by double-digits. Until now. They trail 31:9. Brady is certain to win Number 7.

And, now my favourite part of every Brady SB victory in the last decade: quoting jack spain from 2012

Tom Brady has lost his mojo. Time to gogo!
This will be Brady's 4th Super Bowl victory since jack put the boot in.

He did "gogo"!

I guess many will see this as Brady 1 - Belichick 0.

So, will they rename the city "Tom-pa Bay"?

This is perhaps his best victory of all. He had to beat teams led by Brees, Rodgers and Mahomes to do this. His team was underdog in all of those games.

Brady is also the MVP of the game.

Or not. :shock:

The loss of Fisher killed KC.

KC have a 3-4 record when Fisher is out of the team. Mahomes was running for is life today.

Loved seeing TB to Gronk

The Offensive Line did its impersonation of a colander, so he and three other competent linesmen were missed. Mind you, I thought Spagnolo's defensive tactics were almost as good as the ones that got Pettine fired from Green Bay a week ago.

Meanwhile, even the ABC has notcied:

And in the NFL news that really matters, Green Bay has acquired the Rams' Defensive Co-ordinator and promoted a new Special Teams coach after the NFC Championship debacle. Now, all they need to do is get some better actual defenders (it's one thing to get the Rams' DC - but I'd really like Aaron Donald), special teams players (keep Crosby and probably start again with the rest of them) and maybe even some competent assistance for Rodgers and Adams (see how the teams that played in the SB both had an epoch-defining tight end, FFS?).

Minor controversy about Brady's diet.

(He's been flogging books and products for years.)

He doesn't eat nightshades. It's the alkaloids in them he's against.

Whatever the truth about alkaloids, there are a lot of vegetables other than nightshades to eat. It doesn't mean folks who follow this have to be vegetable-free.

TB12 without doubt.

Will be interesting to see how Trevor Lawrence goes in the future. I have a feeling Mac Jones will be a star.

I was a huge Montana fan pre Brady. So now Ive moved my allegiance from 49ers, to Patriots, and now to Bucs LOL.

Havent moved my allegiance from the Redsox though!
