Superbowl

[Der Kaiser]

Should the Bucs win, Brady should be held in the same regard as Michael Jordan within the American sports-sphere. What he will have done will never be matched, and Mahomes losing to 43 year old Brady will have removed any opportunity he may have had in the future to usurp Brady as the 'goat'.

Pressure's on Kansas nqat.

Brady is already the GOAT. This will be his 10th Superbowl. He's won 6 and I wouldn't bet against him winning a 7th. Mahomes will soon not be as mobile as he now and he's going to have to change his game. Even though he is already an excellent passer. He also doesn't have Bill Belichick coaching him. And Andy Reid won't be around for that much longer. Rodgers is probably a better QB than both of them, he just hasn't had the tools and the coaching that they had/have. And I don't think anyone can match Brady's preparation, concentration and desire.

I too used to enjoy the the American Football in the days of Dan Marino, John Riggins, Joe Theisman, Walter Payton... simply because it was sport on the TV!
Only 4 channels to choose from and shown on Sundays, from memory the competition being Songs of praise, Bullseye or Antiques Roadshow!

Spoilt for choice on sport these days and football plus the odd game of cricket I find is more than enough.
I don't feel the need to watch the American football but I suppose when it's your national sport and on the TV all the time, I'm sure you'd get into it.

The Superbowl is still a huge event and still worth watching though, even if i don't know any of the players.
I will record it and watch next day fast forwarding all the crap, of which there is a lot, in between.

I was watching the game live the night Theisman broke his leg. It was grusome. His shin bone was sticking out of his sock sideways and his team mates were trying to stop him from looking at it. It really was dreadful.
