Welcome to the Monday edition of the Sports Reporters podcast.

And we are here today to unpack a Super Bowl that was memorable,

but not quite in the way that we thought it was going to be.

I don't think anybody saw this as is

the kind of beat down that we got last night from the bucks and and Tom Brady and to me

there are two obviously dominant storylines and then there's other things to talk about with

this game one Tom Brady last night in my opinion produced one of the seminal victories for any athlete we've ever had in a team sport in this country.

It ranks with anything that has ever happened, 43 years old, his seventh Super Bowl, and his first with Tampa Bay, on what is now his home field and in a game the Super Bowl that has become his home office.

And the other thing is, and it's as dominant storyline as Brady,

I have never seen a better defensive performance than I saw from the Bucks last night,

who did to Patrick Mahomes what the chiefs were hoping to do to Brady and Mitch, I was saying to Tyler

before we started today. And Bob, they turned the Bucks turned Patrick Mahomes last night into Jared

golf. Well, thanks, Mike, our new quarterback here in Detroit.

You know, here's all you need to know about that.

For all the magic that Tom Brady produced, the Bucks could have won the Super Bowl with 10 points.

That's all you need to know.

I love the fact that Brady did what he did.
