Tom Brady makes history with sixth Super Bowl win

Source: ESPN

ATLANTA -- Quarterback Tom Brady became the first player in NFL history to win six Super Bowls, as the New England Patriots defeated the Los Angeles Rams 13-3 in Super Bowl LIII on Sunday night.

Brady finished the night 21-of-35 with 262 yards and one interception.

Brady had been tied with Pro Football Hall of Famer Charles Haley as the only players to win five Super Bowls. Haley was a member of San Francisco 49ers teams that won Super Bowl XXIII and XXIV, and after he was traded to the Dallas Cowboys, he earned three more Super Bowl rings.

Brady now also holds the record for most career wins, with 237. Indianapolis Colts kicker Adam Vinatieri, who is returning for a 24th season in 2019, has 236 career wins.

The youngest and oldest QB to win, and Belichick is the oldest coach to win.

And just couple weeks ago, the Warriors met with Obama instead of Trump. That's pretty political.

Ted Wells' report on the deflated footballs found it "more likely than not" that Brady/NE cheated. The "more likely than not" conclusion was derided by many, but that is the legal standard in civil cases even though this was not tried in a court room.

Then we have the spy tape incidents that Goodell covered up and where the evidence (tapes) was destroyed. In the end the full story will be told and the truth will come out.

Doesn't seem to have had much effect on Tom.

Brady did not visit the White House 2 years ago. Most think it's because Tom's Wife hates Trump. It will be interesting to see what happens this time.

No one else gets to touch them or provide their own game balls.

Boston Red Sox and New England (Boston) Patriots. I went through Hell with those teams, but at least I had the Celtics and Bruins.

Both teams were awesome on that side of the ball.

I mean, it would be no different if both teams had scored 50 points.

The deflate-gate sullied win should not count. I was proved, he was suspended, no doubts.

Even if the balls had been rock hard the colts would have been steamrolled.

Blow a puff of breath of either of them and it was a roughing penalty. I recall a game in Philly when an Eagles defender just barely brushed his hand across the side of Manning's helmet and got flagged for a hit to the head. Mind-boggling.
