@@polpol1005 He didn't win MVP in his last SB with the Pats - and yes he did deserve it in LV. All the coaches are good and they played 2 Defenses on their route to the SB that were better than theirs. It's a team sport and everybody has to play well to win. The defense didn't put up 31 points. Rings are a a measure of the QB's ability to lead his team to wins when they matter most. Brees and Rodgers had really good teams for a lot of their careers and good coaching and both have 1 ring. It isn't a fluke that Brady has 7.

You kidding. Being idiot talking heads makes the networks plenty of cash. The more trolly the take, the more viewers, the more money. People don't care about their reputations anymore, it's all about the eyeballs.
Kellerman is the type of dude that runs a red light and then gives you the bird instead of apologizing
It's 2021, and Brady is STILL taking teams to the Superbowl. Brady got so bored taking the Patriots, he took a different team entirely to the Superbowl, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers
the cut at the end to the subscribe and like part got me laughing hard
Report from 2057, Tom Brady is still playing and has won a superbowl with every NFL team
THE CLIFF NEVER CAME.
