Super Bowl 55 Recap: Tom Brady’s 7th Ring and the Billy Football-Jose Canseco Fallout
Football season has officially come to a close, and it ended with a sight we’ve seen so many times it’s starting to feel like a glitch in the matrix. Tom Brady secured his seventh Lombardi Trophy, and while the game itself turned into a bit of a lopsided affair, the historical implications are enough to make your head spin. Big Cat pointed out that Brady’s individual trophy case is now officially more crowded than almost every collective trophy case in the league.
Big CatTom Brady has more Super Bowls than 18 NFL franchises combined
Tom Brady has more Super Bowls than the Bears, Jets, Saints, Rams, Seahawks, Eagles, Bills, Vikings, Bengals, Panthers, Falcons, Chargers, Titans, Cardinals, Browns, Lions, Texans, Jaguars combined. That's 18 teams combined. More than half of the league, and he has more Super Bowls than those 18 teams, 18 franchises combined.
The Bucs’ 31-9 victory over the Chiefs wasn't just about Brady, though. It was a complete defensive masterclass that made one of the most explosive offenses in NFL history look completely pedestrian. While Brady took home the hardware, PFT and Big Cat were quick to credit the architect of the scheme and the monsters in the middle.
Big CatTodd Bowles is an underrated defensive coordinator
Todd Bowles, very underrated. He got mentioned a lot, so maybe he's properly rated now. But he was incredible this entire playoff run because the Bucs' defense... They played at such a high level in the last four games.
PFT CommenterDevin White should have been the Super Bowl MVP
Devin White should have been the MVP, I think, of this game.
On the other side of the ball, Patrick Mahomes was quite literally running for his life. Despite the final score, Mahomes made a handful of throws while horizontal that were more impressive than most completed passes in Super Bowl history. PFT is already preparing his hipster defense for the next decade of bar debates.
PFT CommenterPatrick Mahomes' matrix incompletion was one of the best Super Bowl passes ever
He made the three best passes in this game. He made a matrix pass. Maybe three passes that would be the best passes of all time. ... The hipster reply in 10 years when someone's like, quote tweet this with the best Super Bowl pass you've ever seen. Yeah, I saw it. Didn't count. It was actually a turnover on downs. Hit his receiver in the face.
PFT CommenterPatrick Mahomes will have surgery on his foot
I think [Mahomes] is probably going to have surgery on that foot. ... The turf toe reared its ugly head a little bit. I'm serious. He was not able to scramble effectively.
Beyond the game, the broadcast itself provided plenty of fodder. From Tony Romo’s suspicious pants-wetting incident to the new score bug that felt like a personal attack on Big Cat's comfort levels, the guys had plenty to nitpick. There was also a consensus that the 8K cameras might actually be providing too much information for the human eye.
Big CatHD cameras in sports broadcasts are now too realistic to handle
The HD cameras have gone too far. ... Something about the new HD cameras is just too much for me. I can't handle it.
Of course, the biggest story of the weekend happened on Friday night at Rough N' Rowdy. Our son Billy Football stepped into the ring and effectively ended Jose Canseco’s career as a combat athlete in about 15 seconds. Billy called in from Florida, sounding like a man who has been celebrating for 48 hours straight and has zero plans of returning to reality anytime soon.
Billy FootballI am going to buy an albino cobra
Bro, I went down to Florida, and I'm about to buy an albino cobra. ... Dude, they can ship it. ... [I'm] not going to bring COVID back [to the office].
Billy FootballI will spend my Rough N' Rowdy winnings on Dogecoin
So, Billy, what are you going to spend the winnings on? ... Dogecoin.
With no more football to gamble on, the focus shifts to the future. Big Cat is already eyeing the 2021 season with some value picks and some very specific personal goals for the month of February.
Big CatThe San Francisco 49ers are a great value bet to win the next Super Bowl
I'll tell you what my pick is. San Francisco 49ers 14-1. ... I'm just looking for a team with a good coach, good defense. There's tons of injuries [this year].
Big CatThe hosts are starting a strict 'no carbs' diet for February
Tomorrow, we're starting our diets. ... No carbs for the month of February. ... If you see a carb in my mouth, slap it out. Serious. Except for Saturdays. Those are cheat days.
It’s a dark day whenever the NFL season ends, but at least we can all take solace in the fact that Jose Canseco is a rat and Billy Football is a world-class champion.
