Life is GOOD.
Tom Brady is fresh off his 5th SB title in the most dramatic of fashions. This was quite possibly the greatest SB ever, as well as the greatest SB comeback ever, as well as one of the greatest SB performances ever for a QB (in the 2nd half).
Pats were down 28-3 late in the 3rd quarter and came back to win. This is actually nuts and I still find myself in disbelief days removed from the victory.
Not only is this win just so sweet as a diehard fan because is cements both he and Bellichick as the greatest of all time, respectively, without any shadow of a doubt (there is literally no reasonable argument for any other QB/coach at this point – and only haters will say otherwise really), but with the whole BS that was deflategate, to see Goodell have to eat a dick and hand over the Lombardi to Touchdown Tommy himself was such a vindicating moment.
This SB win was just a culmination of the past two years following the last SB win, all the negativity of deflategate, all of the lies and deceit that was thrown at the fans and at the Patriots organization through that kangaroo court. The fact that his mom has been battling an illness over the past 18 months and he dedicated the game to her. All of this came together in what was the most emotional of his 5 wins, and by far the sweetest. If they never win another, I’ll be happy. No one is going to touch his legacy. His resume is just ridiculous – and in an era of salary cap where players at every key position are constantly changing, he and Bill have found a way to just maintain a dominance that is unprecedented over nearly 20 years.
Do I think they have more left in the tank? Yes. I could definitely see them winning another before Brady hangs em up. He says he wants to play until hes 45, which would be laughable if he wasn’t playing the best football of his career only months removed from 40. Fall offs can happen quickly as we’ve seen with Peyton, but Brady is just at a different level altogether. His nutrition regiment is absurd and the way he takes care of his body will set a precedent for what needs to be done to attain the ultimate level of longevity in this league.
As a fan, I couldn’t have been happier with how it turned out. Hats off to Atlanta, they really did play an amazing first 40 minutes of that game – and if a bunch of things didn’t go the patriots way down the stretch it might be different. But thank god its not, and let’s all realize how fortunate we are to be witnessing the greatest football player to ever play the game competing dominating the league and competing at the highest level, all while in the “twilight” of his career.
Thank you Tom
