I had forgotten about post-SB Monday...when there just isn't enough coffee in the world to get you vertical...and the half pound of BBQed meat...half bag of Kettle chips...half pint of dip...half a mini pie with whipped cream...three bottled Cokes...and a chocolate pudding cup (just because it was there) makes you swear off food for the day...starting the day at 11 AM...
My guy lost, and John doubled his money.
Brady has ANOTHER trophy and ring...and the Buccaneers have a well-earned win.
I think he may be going for a complete set...only 3 fingers left.
And I am pretty sure I heard Belichick scream from here.
The National Anthem was unique, and I loved the fact that the guy ASL'd through the whole thing.
The flyover, and fireworks, were beautiful!
Flyover

The commercials ranged from poignant to really really funny.
2 assistant coaches and one officiator were woman (a first) this year...progress.
Amanda Gorman did a special tribute poem for the Frontline Healthcare Workers!
Halftime was annoying...bright and flashing and omg...do you just WANT us to have a seizure???
Now about the game...
Love Brady or hate Brady...if you actually watched the game you have to admit that last night was the Bucs night.
Even Patrick Mahomes was the first to congratulate Brady and tell him
"You guys were awesome, man!"
(...and the Chiefs were my team and cost me a few bucks last night...)
Brady was poised and unflappable...but it was his defense that guarded Kelce and Hill stronger than the Pentagon is secured...that really determined the outcome of this game.
Our Defense was strong...loved the first quarter hold off at the goal line!!! But they weren't as strong as the Buccaneers.
Gronkowski and Brady were a force of nature.
Both QB's had overthrows...and in a couple cases interceptions.
And the Chiefs have got to learn the kindergarten lesson of
KEEP YOUR HANDS TO YOURSELF!!!
They cost us a lot of yards by hanging off the other team like rat terriers during crucial game play.
There was also pass interference (both sides)
Also a case of unsportsmanlike conduct called on one of the Bucs for taunting toward the end of the 4th Quarter...when it became evident they were going to win.
But when the dust settled...the Tampa Buccaneers were the obvious winners and they deserved it...
Now to clean up the kitchen...and find more coffee...and maybe pants.
And a special shout-out to CBS who opened their firewall and let EVERYONE watch the game for FREE instead of making us find a way around it.
