Info
Super Bowl LV is official; it is in the books. Given that this was the biggest game of the entire NFL season, I’m going to give a few observations that I made.
How unbelievable is it that the Chiefs didn’t score a single touchdown? A team that averaged 3.5 touchdowns per game in the regular season was unable to tally one on the biggest stage. What about the fact that Leonard Fournette led the game in touches (20)? Or how about the resurrection of Gronk as he put up six receptions for 67 yards

and two touchdowns. Whoever you wanted to win the game; you have to admit that very few predicted a Bucs blowout.
Here is the final point I want to make. Tom Brady was obviously in this game, and over the years, he has become a top target for non-Patriot or Bucs fans to root against. Now, I know that not every fan roots against him, but it is more common that an unbiased fan likes seeing Brady lose instead of winning. Here is what I have to say about that. I’ll use a quote from an unlikely source…
“Everybody loves the underdog, and then they take an underdog and make him a hero, and they hate him. But as long as they can knock you back down, it seems like you’re an underdog again…”
–Fred Durst
Yes, this quote initially had nothing to do with football, but I think it applies perfectly to Brady. Tom Brady was drafted in the sixth round of the 2000 NFL draft. He was picked 199 overall by the New England Patriots. He was a modest prospect who performed poorly at the combine. Most of us know what happened after this. He’s won seven Super Bowls, five Super Bowl MVPs, and three MVP awards. Now, based on where he was drafted, wouldn’t you think he would be a perfect “All American Underdog Story?” I would consider it for sure. So the question is…why so much hate for this man? The answer is very nuanced, and it spans over two decades. I’m also not sure I have an excellent concise solution for you. I suppose the hate comes from a combination of his cheating allegations, on-field whining, and just the overall “chip on his shoulder” attitude he’s had his entire NFL career. But I think Fred Durst was on to something with his quote.
We like underdogs in the country. Nay, we love them. A considerable percentage of NCAA fans rooted for 11 seed George Mason in the 2006 NCAA tournament. I sure did. George Mason beat a 6, 3, 7, and 1 source on their way to the Final Four. They eventually lost to the eventual champion, No. 3 seed Florida University. The overwhelming majority of unbiased fans did root for the underdog. I’m not going to list every underdog story to happen in sports, but the question remains: what makes Brady different? Why is there so much hate for the most successful quarterback in NFL history, especially after he had a humble beginning to his career?
I’m guilty as well. I rooted against Brady in 2002 as he was playing my St. Louis Rams, but besides that, I’ve rooted against him mainly because I didn’t want to see the winning streak continue. I knew where he came from. I knew the chip he had on his shoulder. I learned how remarkable his ascent to the GOAT was, but it didn’t matter. I wanted to see him lose because he’d won enough. I feel like a lot of people had the same mentality. As I hinted in my previous article, I was rooting for Brady to win another one last Sunday. Nothing against the Chiefs, but I finally reached the point in my fandom that I said, “if he’s going to be the best, let’s see him do it so that he leaves no doubt in anyone’s mind.” You can love him if you want. You can hate him if you wish. You can be indifferent. None of these positions changes the fact that he is the greatest quarterback in NFL history.
Alright, it time to digress a bit after that long-winded rant. Today we are going to talk about some Bucs’ free agents.
