??????
One for each ring. You selected a ram, by the way.
February 3rd, 2019 at 10:51 PM ^
Well, if Tom wanted to be a ram, he would be the best damn ram around.
February 4th, 2019 at 3:16 PM ^
RAM, as in, "really awesome, man."
February 3rd, 2019 at 10:16 PM ^
GOAT!!!!!!
February 3rd, 2019 at 10:16 PM ^
I know we went to the same school and all, but people who don’t eat tomatoes and marry supermodels aren’t that relatable.
February 3rd, 2019 at 11:13 PM ^
Does he not eat them because he doesn't like them or because he believes they are bad for you? I think I'm talking about tomatoes.
February 3rd, 2019 at 11:15 PM ^
Something about the alkaline or whatever makes you age faster
February 3rd, 2019 at 11:29 PM ^
He doesn't eat them because he thinks they promote inflammation.
February 3rd, 2019 at 11:48 PM ^
I want to eat what Tom's eating.
February 4th, 2019 at 10:01 AM ^
Nightshades
February 3rd, 2019 at 11:22 PM ^
It's aspirational. Not the tomato thing.
February 4th, 2019 at 12:00 AM ^
So if he either eats tomatoes or marries a supermodel, you could relate? :D
February 3rd, 2019 at 10:17 PM ^
But his deflating!!!
February 3rd, 2019 at 10:19 PM ^
He didn't actually do the deflating. He instructed the Russians to do it.
February 3rd, 2019 at 10:17 PM ^
IT’S GREAT TO BE A MICHIGAN WOLVERINE!!!!!
February 3rd, 2019 at 10:17 PM ^
Greatest goat of all time.
February 3rd, 2019 at 10:19 PM ^
G.O.A.T. Milk?
I hear Harbaugh likes milk....
February 3rd, 2019 at 10:18 PM ^
Tom Brady better be MVP of this game, what a clutch gene he has.
Congrats Tom!!!!
February 3rd, 2019 at 10:26 PM ^
Edelman.
February 3rd, 2019 at 10:37 PM ^
He earned it. The way he gets open is ridiculous.
February 3rd, 2019 at 10:28 PM ^
Edelman deserves it more. Brady obviously was clutch when it counted as usual, but otherwise was pretty up and down. Edelman was flat out uncoverable all game.
February 3rd, 2019 at 10:45 PM ^
February 4th, 2019 at 6:23 AM ^
I have no problem with Edelman getting MVP. But he was stopped regularly, the difference being that when Brady makes a bad throw everyone notices, when Edelman can’t get open nobody does except the players and coaches.
February 4th, 2019 at 6:45 AM ^
10 receptions on 12 targets. Mic drop.
February 4th, 2019 at 10:05 AM ^
Edelman deserves it ...so does Gilmore. The D was outstanding and he had game clinching INT, fumble recovery, 5 tackles and 3-4 PBU’s.
February 4th, 2019 at 7:08 AM ^
February 3rd, 2019 at 10:18 PM ^
The FUCKING G.O.A.T.!!! Closing out games with ice water in his veins. Congrats Tommy Boy!!! Go Blue!!!
February 3rd, 2019 at 10:19 PM ^
Anyone else notice old school football DOES still work! New England’s ability to get pressure as key on the defensive side. But also the play of Julian Edelman, as a possession receiver. It keeps the defense honest and opens up the run game. Who is that guy for us? Yea we have the vertical pass threats but we need that guy too.
February 3rd, 2019 at 10:24 PM ^
Pats D line should be MVP. They consistently got to Goff. He never was able to get comfortable.
February 3rd, 2019 at 10:27 PM ^
Goff has gotten exposed the last 6-8 or so games this season. I did think he outplayed Brees last week, but hasn't played that well in months. This was just the final exposure against the best coach of them all with 2 weeks to prepare.
MVP should definitely go to someone on the Patriots defense.
February 3rd, 2019 at 10:52 PM ^
Yes, right down to the Rams' D being tired from the battering toward the end of the third quarter, as Romo said. Whether it succeeds as strategy in the college game--or against the very best college teams--will continue to be debated.
February 3rd, 2019 at 11:32 PM ^
That “great” D and a clock control offense did look somewhat familiar, but it will never work in college. The Rams intentionally slowed the pace, the anti-college approach, they’re completely different games these days.
Keep in mind the particular scenario about “whose our Edelman?” we are talking about the GOAT throwing the ball and 1 with a legit shot at the HOF, but I’ll oblige...
Ronnie Bell seems to have the quick twitch ability that could be relevant to the ball possession / someone get open underneath conversation.

February 3rd, 2019 at 11:41 PM ^
The Patriots approach worked because they held the Rams to 3 points while their own offense was only scoring 3 themselves.
In college you don't have the level of defensive players across the board to hold the opposition to 3 points for 60 minutes. While you're sitting on 3, your opponent is scoring 30.
You have no choice but to keep up on offense.
February 4th, 2019 at 9:29 AM ^
The implication being that in the NFL you DO have the level of defensive player across the board to hold the opposition to 3 points for 60 minutes? If you had said this earlier in the year you would have been laughed off the board, and even after the playoffs it's specious. NFL offenses were off the charts great this year. On a week-to-week basis it's much easier to stop opponents in college when you're a team like Michigan, given the great disparity in talent. In the Super Bowl, both teams are good, and there's no reason to expect a defense to stop an offense relative to college football.
Yes Belichick's approach was very similar to Harbaugh's. The former has the greatest QB in the history of the world, but he relied on his run game and defense, and didn't risk putting it in the air until he had to. The difference is Don Brown got owned in the last two games. Maybe Harbaugh should have expected that against UF, but he had no reason to expect it against OSU.
February 4th, 2019 at 8:00 AM ^
Michigan/Gattis should be able to construct one-on-one mismatches for an uncoverable Giles Jackson...should be fun to watch.
Otherwise, the key here is for the QB to have a correct first read and get the ball to your speed-in-space play-makers very quickly.
Charbonnet, Turner, Wilson...
Huge upside/ceiling for the 2019 Michigan offense.
February 3rd, 2019 at 10:19 PM ^
No matter how many you win, you always want one more.
Congratulations Tom Brady and the New England Patriots.
February 3rd, 2019 at 10:20 PM ^
Tom Brady, more rings than the Olympics.
February 3rd, 2019 at 10:20 PM ^
Wow! Unreal...
Congrats, Tom Brady!
February 3rd, 2019 at 10:21 PM ^
6 Super Bowl wins! Just amazing.
February 3rd, 2019 at 10:57 PM ^
Screw all the joe montana fans who still believe joe is the greatest because he won all 4 of his super bowl appearances. Tom has been to 9 MF'ing super bowls, hey joe fans, your guy was 5 appearances short - please explain???
February 3rd, 2019 at 11:19 PM ^
There is something to be said about being perfect, and 4-0 is no joke. But 6-3 and Brady doing it at this age is something that's never been seen.
I'll always be impressed that MJ went 6-0 in the Finals. That for me puts him head and shoulders above LeBron
February 3rd, 2019 at 11:36 PM ^
All 4-0 means is 5 more Super Bowls Montana never made because he lost before he even got there.
There's nothing perfect about that.
February 3rd, 2019 at 11:43 PM ^
Exactly. Is losing before the Super Bowl somehow better then losing in the Super Bowl? O
February 4th, 2019 at 12:03 AM ^
Hell NO! Still better to have 5 "2nd place" finishes then none, Super Bowl wins being equal - which they are not!!!
February 4th, 2019 at 12:19 AM ^
Tom Brady (6) >>> joe montana (4) + steve young (1)*
* as the starting qb
February 4th, 2019 at 10:08 AM ^
Also Jordan is a much better player.
February 3rd, 2019 at 11:54 PM ^
The whole clutch gene bullshit narrative just must live on in sports.
