Tom Brady's life is incredible. Star QB, wealthy, super model wife, storied comeback.

I did not enjoy that game at all. It's not fun watching a team that's completely out of gas lose a huge lead. Maybe if it had been the PaTRUMPiots squandering the lead I would have enjoyed it.

Some statistician would probably tell me it's a fallacy, but when these improbable things keep happening over and over (blown 3-1 leads, Trump, Super Bowl), maybe our probability models are incorrect? I don't know.

Look, I'm by no means a Patriots fan....in fact the opposite, but what happened last night was pretty incredible. I thought it was over, no chance at all for them to pull off the near impossible....yet they sacked up and came back from being down 25 points in 17 minutes.

Sure, the Pats have definitely used some "shady" practices, but i'll be damned if I can't call Belichick & Brady the best coach/quarterback combo in the history of the game.

I would go with Lombardi and Starr, personally...

I don't think Trump qualifies here.

You have to put Montana/Walsh into that discussion. They won 3 super bowls together and probably would've won more if Walsh didn't quit after 1988 season. They won again in 1989 with Seifert as coach which was still Walsh's team for the most part.
