Bradley Beal’s path to winning with Washington is unclear at best, but he wants to stay

Put a mask on, Tom Brady
Tom Brady has won so many Lombardi Trophies that he just doesn’t seem to care anymore.

This was pretty close to being the least-entertaining Super Bowl ever
Alright, so the Super Bowl is done. For all the hype surrounding it, billed as a Titanic clash between Brady and Mahomes, it was a total stinker from a football fan’s standpoint.

Tom Brady was fine, but give the Bucs’ defense their due
There is zero chance I would have believed you last week if you told me that the Chiefs, with one of the most explosive and creative offenses in the NFL, and with one of the most talented arms the league has ever seen, would be kept out of the end zone in the Super Bowl.
