Tom Brady, the GOAT and the Lombardi trophy
The Lombardi trophy is the highest honor any NFL team can obtain after winning the grandest of all football games the Super Bowl. The Lombardi trophy is named after
legendary Green Bay Packers Coach Vice Lombardi. No coach in National Football League history achieved more success in less time than Lombardi did during his nine seasons in Green Bay. He won five NFL championships, including Super Bowls I and II, and compiled a remarkable 89-29-4 regular-season record.
This year's Super Bowl was a media fantasy come true. Tom Brady is known as the GOAT (Greatest OF All-Time)now with the Tampa Buccaneers appeared
in his tenth Super Bowl. He went against Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs. The media was branding Mahomes as the "Kid," hence the 'Goat vs. the Kid,' which made for great marketing.

The argument was always if Brady
would succeed without coach Bill Belichick, the coach that mentored him for 20 years with the New England Patriots before he signed as a free agent last year with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

There are many that believe that
Bill Belichick may someday be considered the best Football coach of all time and the Lombardi trophy could be renamed to the Belichick trophy? Sports analysts and writers have echoed this thought.

My thought since Tom Brady has now won 7 Super Bowl rings and appeared in 10 Super Bowls 
on two different teams. Most NFL players never even get the chance to play in even one Super Bowl, and playing in 10 Super Bowls over a 20-year career is insane.

I hate to say this being a member of the Buffalo Bills mafia fan club. Brady was basically kryptonite
to the AFC East's Buffalo Bills. I was thrilled when Brady decided to leave New England and become a free agent. However, Brady came back and remarkably won another Super Bowl with another team. Hate him, or love him, he is the GOAT.

This is why the Lombardi trophy should never be named to the Belichick trophy however
in years to come after Brady retires the Lombardi should be renamed to the 'Brady trophy' since even though it's hard for me to say, there will never be another Brady.

Brady was asked how he felt after winning his 7th Super Bowl, he said,
"Meh, not Baaaaaaaad"(sic)Get it, he's the GOAT?

Great game yesterday for Brady and his boys from Tampa Bay!
I hope all is well with you and Ivanka!
Hope all is well my friend!
Was hoping for a closer edge of the seat, nail-biter thriller...
Yeah I was hoping for a close game too - but at least the outcome is what I was hoping for! Back in Feb 2002, my Dad and I got to meet Tom Brady a week after he won his first Super Bowl at Vidinha Stadium in Lihue. (CBS was filming the Quarterback challenge that was to be aired in July.) My Dad was in a wheelchair - so, we were 10 feet from Brady and Peyton Manning the whole time. (With their backs to us) The one thing I’ll always remember about both Tom Brady and Peyton Manning that day is that they were both kind of arrogant, and showed no class to the Keiki wanting an autograph from either of them! With kids calling out their names right before the competition started, Brady turned around and announced: “I won’t sign autographs - until afterwards!” (Doug Flutie, Jeff Garcia and John Elway we’re all signing away at that point...) Well, we all waited for them to come back out afterward the competition and sign autograph’s - and sadly they never did! The disappointment and anger from all those kids waiting - just showed the lack of class they both were portraying! I’ll never forget that. Brady snubbed both Nick Foles and also Jared Goff after each of their games ended this year - for the customary handshake after the game. So, I guess we weren’t the only ones Brady has snubbed!
😂🤙🏼
Bill,
Glad to hear the good report on Flutie, he was one of my favorite Buffalo Bills, once upon a time.
It sucks when the players who make millions off a fan base cannot accommodate a few autographs, especially Keiki on an isolated island.
Mahalo for the report!
Yeah I’ll have you know Doug Flutie was a class act talking to my dad and I. I told him I watched his Hail Mary for a Touchdown live - while living in Honokowai Maui. That pass was just epic! 😄🤙🏼
Enclosed is a photo of Doug Flutie and me on the sidelines at Aloha Stadium for the 1998 Pro-Bowl.
When I lived in Alaska I published Alaska People Magazine and every February I would obtain press passes and do a story on Alaska's largest suburb, Hawaii, and include the Pro-Bowl. The NFL always granted me press passes!
