Tom Brady, Tampa Bay Dismantle Kansas City to Win Super Bowl 55

[Polybius]

Source: NBC

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers, led by quarterback legend Tom Brady, largely dominated Kansas City on Sunday during Super Bowl 55. Brady earned his seventh title as the Bucs defeated Kansas City 31-9.

Patrick Mahomes and Kansas City had the opportunity to become back-to-back Super Bowl champions. But Brady, regarded as the greatest football player of all time, and the Buccaneers playing at home sacked their chances.

The Brady-Mahomes matchup was the first among players who have won both the NFL MVP and Super Bowl MVP awards. It's was the sixth meeting between former regular-season MVPs and the second between former Super Bowl MVPs.

There was significant hype before the game touting a battle between the greatest of all time, Brady, against the greatest quarterback of his generation, Mahomes.

1. zzzzzzzzzzz

I detest Brady.
Hes just like maggot.
I revel in every Bowl he is not in.
Until then there is the Puppy bowl.

[VA_Jill]

28. We started out watching

Left before halftime. Both of us disgusted with the commentators constant gushing over Brady. Not to mention the refs calling every little thing instead of just letting them play.

[Rebl2]

35. Same here

Quit watching because they were like you say gushing all over brady.

[amuse bouche]

46. "Quit watching because they were like you say gushing all over brady."

The fact that KC was getting humiliated, and their asses kicked, had nothing to do with you not watching.

Sure thing

[edbermac]

2. The defense won that game.

[Polybius]

7. I wouldn't entirely discount Brady and the rest of the offense

Scoring 31 against the Chiefs isn’t an easy task.

[VA_Jill]

27. And the refs

[Zorro]

3. It's been a good season for Tampa Bay sports teams

[left-of-center2012]

4. Brady and Trump are pals

Guessing that Tom will get a congratulatory call from Donald.

Maybe even an invitation to Mar-A-Lago.

[ADK]

5. It's not that clear

https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/news/tom-brady-donald-trump-friendship/1o38nm6cqt81213w88q0ca2vtx

I want him to visit Biden in the Whitehouse. I think there is a good chance he will. It will make Trump’s head explode.

[rockfordfile]

6. BS it's clear.

Brady is just like trumptrash.

[left-of-center2012]

13. The linked article said ...

Brady keeps a MAGA hat in his locker.
So, I'd say Brady is a fan and friend of the Donald.

[VladmireTrumpkins]

12. No he wont..

[C Moon]

17. Brett Favre also supported Trump, although, I don't think he was "friends" like Brady proudly said.

I think Aaron Rodgers sounds like a good guy, but I've found most QB's are right wingers. I wouldn't look to them for political leadership advice, that's for sure.

But when big NFL leaders like Brady say they support a horrid person like Trump, it only makes me want to quit watching football. I may just do that...again.

[Polybius]

45. Most are right-wingers simply because most are rich white guys

That's their base. I'm almost certain that most owners are Republicans too.

[amuse bouche]

20. Brady didn't go to the White House, after winning his last Super Bowl

Trump was pissed

So many uninformed Dems.

[Rebl2]

36. 🤢🤮

Did not know that bit of info about him.

[stillcool]

61. The Patriots owner is "pals" with Trump...

Brady has played golf with lots of people, and I'm sure he wouldn't bad-mouth any of them. People sure do love to hate Tom Brady...and it's been going on long before Trump ran for President.

[Nocturnowl]

8. Someone Here Predicted a Bucs' Win

But the score he projected wasn't close to the actual final. Dang fool was too generous to the Chiefs!

[mezame]

23. Another Fool Here

I thought fer sure Mahomes would shred TB's secondary in the second half. I can't stand Brady either (always rooted for the opposing team to put him in his place), but daaaamm I've learned the hard way over and over and over again, never bet against him.

[amuse bouche]

38. I've been a Brady fan for 20 years and the one thing I know, is never count Tom out

and never bet against him

[VladmireTrumpkins]

9. Tom knew Trump for a long time..but

that doesnt mean he supports him as president. Gizel was asked about that and she said NO very emphatically.

[ADK]

10. I want to be a fly on the wall in Mar-a-Lago when Brady visits the Whitehouse

And is photographed with President Biden.

[VladmireTrumpkins]

11. I bet he doesnt visit..

[oasis]

54. He'll visit W.H. with teammates . Count on it. nt

[VladmireTrumpkins]

58. Okay lets see who is right

[TwilightZone]

14. Plenty of couples disagree on politics.

Her lack of support doesn't automatically mean that Tom doesn't support Trump.

Brady was one of the very first people to endorse Trump in 2015. This cycle, he tried to differentiate between supporting someone politically and supporting them because they're friends, but didn't indicate that he didn't support Trump's bid for reelection.

[amuse bouche]

21. Exactly. So many Ds are uninformed and acting like Rs. It's amazing...to put it mildly

I loved the game and have been a Brady fan for 20 years. I hope he does it again next year

[MojoWrkn]

39. During the last supplemental stimulus payment (of which most of us got $600); brady got $1.1 MILLION

which enabled him to buy a yacht! So, don't tell me he's not a friend of the OrangeMenace! Mnuchin also got a
nice payout from that stimulus payment.

[LudwigPastorius]

15. Fuck Tom Brady.

Mahomes made some amazing throws, even on one foot, beat up, and running for his life most of the game.

KC's offensive line just couldn't get the job done in protecting him.

[amuse bouche]

18. Mahomes was humiliated

By the way, he comes from a MAGAt home. His mom is one of those nutty RW xtian creeps. She's the type that would applaud storming of the Capital.

It's really funny watching all the ridiculous Brady hate

I hope he does it again next year too

[jayfish]

32. Tom Brady's One of the Greatest Cinderella Stories in the History of Sports.

Keep in mind, that video is ten years old. Simply amazing and... GO BLUE!

[MojoWrkn]

40. KC's Oline were mostly injured and on the IR list! Eric Fisher had a something broken in his foot

or ankle and Willie Gay was also injured; Laurent Duvernay-Tardiff sat out the season to help with the pandemic in
his home country (Canada cuz he's a doctor)! Some of those injuries occured late in the season and it's hard to
get subs game ready with only about 2-3 weeks! And then there's the matter of the officials!

[quickesst]

16. I would be willing to bet....

.... good money that no one here at Democratic Underground knows the political leanings of but a few NFL football players. Most people don't know exactly what kind of person they are rooting for on any given team. I'm also of the opinion that out of all the reasons people root for their favorite teams, the political leanings of it's players is at the bottom or near non-existent.

[amuse bouche]

19. Yup. Mahomes comes from a RW home

His mom is one of those nutty RW xtians. Didn't see anyone mentioning that. A lot of Dems look ridiculous with their nonsensical Brady hate.

My son said, Tom is a rich guy. They like to golf. That was the main association of him to trump, quite some time ago

Brady didn't go to the WH, when he won his last Super Bowl. Trump was pissed

[quickesst]

25. you are right of course

After the Tampa Bay Buccaneers won the Super Bowl I haven't heard one single word about Brady's politics or his relationship with Trump. Why? Because it's not about that. It's about football. Personally, I'm glad Tampa Bay won. Unless the San Diego, I mean Los Angeles Chargers are playing I always root for the underdog, and although I'm a Razorback fan, I've always admired Leonard Fournette. I was glad to see him get the win. He earned it.

[OldBaldy1701E]

26. Earned it?

He commanded it! There were times he was running over people!

[quickesst]

31. "He commanded it!"

"There were times he was running over people!"

So, he earned it.

[OldBaldy1701E]

52. I earned my first aid certification as well

but I didn't save an entire city to get it. A slight difference of opinion on the descriptors used. No worries, as I was agreeing with you and complimenting him.

[quickesst]

56. our descriptions are exactly the same....

The fact that I did not embellish my compliment with the type of colorful language you used is no less complimentary. I did not think any further comment was needed as his performance was evident to anyone who watched the game.

PS: Congratulations on your first aid certification.

[MojoWrkn]

41. Mahomes mom might be a RWNJ but I can assure you that Mahomes is not! There is more to the brady/

trump association than golf!

[amuse bouche]

42. If you want to be actually informed, listen to Howard Stern's interview with Brady

Tom said that his relationship with trump was similar to the Stern /trump association

Your assurances mean absolutely zero. It's just more unwarranted Brady Hate. I am so happy Mahomes was humiliated, and Brady prevailed. I hope he does it again next year

It's strange how Dems have no problem hating Brady, yet all the players that are abusers and rapists get a pass. Ignorance prevails

[oasis]

55. It's widely known that Brady passed on the Trump invite

Some here would rather not let a such a sharp FACT deflate their Brady hate filled balloon.

[Stuckinthebush]

37. 100% this

Thank you. I'm as big of a Dem as anyone but I find the Brady hate due to potential political leanings unsettling. I was impressed with his athleticism last night and do admire that. Congratulations to the Bucs. Well deserved win.

[amuse bouche]

44. Tom should hire a PR person. The thing with Tom is, he doesn't throw people under the bus.

He just grins and bears it. He could win again next year. I hope he does and sends all the dumb haters to an ER

[quickesst]

57. sorry for the late reply

When I saw his teammates hugging, smiling, and congratulating him, you could tell there was a ton of sincerity behind it. You just can't get that if you don't deserve it.

[Mike Nelson]

22. I'm betting...

... Brady accepts a White House invite, if offered. He will like the attention. I think he was cozy with Trump in the beginning, just because he was a celebrity President. If it wasn't Biden, I think Brady would send out a "Don't ask" signal.

[amuse bouche]

43. Brady knew trump before trump was installed in the WH. Their relationship was golf, and as

Brady said on Stern, trump invited him to judge a pageant. He thought that was cool, because at the time, he was a young guy (24)

If he wanted attention, he would have gone to the WH the last time he won the SB. He didn't go and trump was pissed

Also, trump asked Brady to speak at the RNC. He declined

I know a lot about him. I've been a fan for 20 years

I bet many don't know Roger Goodell hates Brady and whipped up that deflate gate BS. There is even a documentary about it. Roger is evil

He's responsible for the shunning of Kaepernick too.

[Mike Nelson]

48. Thank you...

... for that information. I do think Tom Brady was not interested in the negative attention responding to Trump would bring - he probably has little use for him, outside of having a golf interest in common. I do think he will consider going to the current White House, along with his team. I'll watch out for Goodell!

[amuse bouche]

50. I hate to say it, but sometimes Tom is a bit naive

He's too nice for his own good. Good thing he has Gisele to steer him into reality. Anyway, you're welcome

[mdbl]

24. The suspense is killing me

[Yavin4]

29. The Superbowl is not over just because the media says it is.

The KC Chiefs will be filing motions in court looking into scoring fraud. The NFL scoreboards are operated by Dominion scoring machines which were hacked to move points away from the Chiefs to the Bucs.

[VladmireTrumpkins]

30. OMG

Better call Sidney Powell and Rudi Guilliani I could swear I saw the goal posts move. it was either John Dominion or Jack Daniels

[Mosby]

33. Some funny tweets

Before anyone gives Tom Brady a trophy, don’t forget that the Chiefs have the right to exhaust every legal avenue to challenge the result. It would be irresponsible to congratulate the Buccaneers so early. Many many fans are upset. Wouldn’t want them to lose trust.

Lots of people are saying Kansas City won. It seems very suspicious that KC was winning 3 - 0 and then a lot of points came in for Tampa Bay.

The Chiefs won and it will be shown on Feb 29 that the TV stations aired a deep fake game paid for by a deep state Super Bowl PAC run by Gronk’s mother and grandmother. This is all true.

[dalton99a]

34. Fake game with many, many fake people

[marie999]

47. We watch Brady because he is very good.

We are Jewish. We listen to Wagner even though he was antisemitic. And we try to live our lives by Mathew 25: 35-40.

[stillcool]

51. I live in New England, and have been a fan

of Brady & Co. for what seems like forever. I am thrilled he won this one, as I don't think Belichick was supportive of Tom at all. They let him twisting out there to take the abuse for all the 'cheater' accusations. This one, especially with Gronk, was extra special to me. His golfing with Trump had no effect on my appreciation for his abilities. Now Bob Kraft is a different story. He's too smart to hob-knob with Trump in recent years, so like all the other Republicans of his kind, I wonder what Trump has on him. At least Putin gave him back his ring.

[Jimbo S]

59. Link?

I know Putin had the ring. I was not aware Kraft got it back.

[stillcool]

60. oh my ...I did an assume thing

thanks for the correction. Trump is more like Putin than I thought. Assholes.

[redstateblues]

53. Long time Brady/Pats hater here who was pulling for Brady and the Bucs yesterday

Can't really explain why-I do think Mahomes was way over confident. I'm a Titans fan who was ecstatic that last year Brady's last play with the Pats was a Titan six pick and a resounding Titans' win.
