Tom Brady-The story of his 1st Super Bowl season.
It’s hard to find good journalism these days. I really enjoyed this read. I can’t believe it’s almost twenty years ago.

Tom Brady says "16-0 POSTBANG!"
January 10th, 2019 at 10:36 PM ^
After a few rough days, today was a really good one... let's POSBANG the shit out of this place!

Tom Brady had a perfect regular season once. He was 16-0 during that season.

Charles forced a fumble. The end!

I still wonder how much the "tuck rule" changed the careers of Brady and Woodson. Chuck is still a HOFer, but that strip/fumble might have immortalized him in NFL lore if they go on to win the SB. Brady may have returned to a backup QB position after fumbling the ball and losing the game.
Maybe everything stays the same and Brady becomes the GOAT. Or maybe internal politics and leads to Brady being traded somewhere else without the infrastructure to groom a talented young QB (ie. Detroit).
It's a big "what if", like what if Miami signs Drew Brees instead of Daunte Culpepper. Saban stays in Miami, Urban stays at Florida and OSU hires someone else to replace Tressel/Fickell.

The tuck play immortalized both Brady and Woodson, no matter what else went on to happen in their careers they would of and will always be remembered for that play.

people forget that there was a blow to brady's head on that play which should've drawn a flag, automatic first down, and 15 yds.
here is the link for anyone interested, and the play is at about 1:20 of a 2 min video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kl_VvJTyMwo

I love Tom, but I love the Chargers more.
Time for some payback.

you have to know that putin is working the officials behind the scenes right now.

Stealing one from Saban is always worth a PosBang.

How is this relevant to Michigan

How are you relevant to Michigan?

I was traveling around the country building greenhouses at this time. I actually spent the entire football season in New England that year. Split between Cape Cod and New Hampshire half way between New Haven and Hartford. Even went to the Sunday Night game at Foxboro when they lost a good game against the Rams.
I was already a little bit of a Patriots fan after rooting against the Bears and Packers in Superbowls. But i was instantly hooked with Ty Law and Brady leading this team.
By the time the playoffs rolled around i had made it back to Michigan, and ended up laying some pretty good bets on the Patriots with a few friends. Between that and the two squares i hit in the Superbowl pool, that season made me about $2500.

i continue to find the best collection of articles to read on Yahoo Sports. Their Hockey coverage is exceptional as well.

You know you are the GOAT when people become famous just because they were in your first huddle.

There may have been better QBs , with more natural born talent, arm strength etc. But it seems Tom used his head and he worked really , really hard to be the best .
