Shannon Sharpe Praises Tom Brady As ‘The GOAT,’ Believes He’s ‘Second To None’
Share this: Pro Football Hall of Fame tight end Shannon Sharpe played with one of the greatest quarterbacks of all-time in John Elway. Sharpe also played in the era of Joe Montana, Brett Favre and Dan Marino, but he doesn’t think any of the great signal-callers from his era are the greatest of all-time. He’d give the nod to New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady. “I think the 14 division titles in 16 years, he’s never not won the division in which he started and finished the season,” Sharpe told reporters Tuesday. “Seven Super Bowls, so once every two-and-a-half years, Tom Brady is in the Super Bowl. Not in the playoffs, in the Super Bowl. That’s enough for me. “Joe did what he did
Mohamed Sanu, Logan Ryan Texted Eyes Emojis After AFC Championship Game
Share this: FOXBORO, Mass. — Mohamed Sanu and Logan Ryan haven’t exchanged words since the Super Bowl LI matchup was decided, but they did swap emojis. Sanu and Ryan might feel like they’re back in Piscataway, N.J. next Sunday in the Super Bowl when they line up across from each other at NRG Stadium in Houston. Sanu, an Atlanta Falcons wide receiver, and Ryan, a New England Patriots cornerback, were teammates at Rutgers for three seasons and suitemates for two of those. They were recruited in the same college class as defensive backs until Sanu was forced to move from safety to receiver before his freshman season. The two practiced against each other frequently. “He won his, I won mine,” Ryan said. “I think we’ll see
Celtics Star Isaiah Thomas Calls Patriots ‘The Team You Want To Be’
Share this: The New England Patriots reached their ninth Super Bowl in franchise history after their 36-17 rout of the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. Those nine Super Bowl appearances are an NFL record, and the Patriots’ greatness has other Boston sports franchises pulling for them to capture their fifth Lombardi Trophy, especially the Boston Celtics. Celtics point guard Isaiah Thomas, who is a Seattle Seahawks fan and Tacoma, Wash. native, has split his fan hood between the Seahawks and Patriots since he met quarterback Tom Brady last summer while the two were recruiting then-free agent Kevin Durant to join the C’s. The two Boston sports stars now “frequently exchange text messages” and the C’s point guard told the media on Monday that the Patriots set
AFC Title Game Was Patriots’ Second-Highest Rated Non-Super Bowl Game
The New England Patriots dismantled the Pittsburgh Steelers in the AFC Championship Game on Sunday, and a lot of New Englanders tuned in to watch Tom Brady and Co. clinch their NFL-record ninth Super Bowl appearance. The local TV ratings for Sunday’s tilt against the Steelers were released on Monday, and the 2017 AFC title game was one of the most viewed non-Super Bowl games in team history. The Patriots’ 41-27 victory over the Steelers in the 2005 AFC Championship Game is the only non-Super Bowl game to receive a higher rating. The other three games in the top five were also AFC playoff games. The Patriots will face the
Tom Brady Is Undefeated In His Career Against NFC Champion Falcons
Share this: The New England Patriots are on to Super Bowl LI in Houston after their 36-17 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers in the AFC Championship Game on Sunday, and a showdown with the NFC Champion Atlanta Falcons awaits them on Feb. 5. Patriots quarterback Tom Brady will be attempting to win his fifth Super Bowl in seven attempts, and he will do so against a team that he has never lost to. That’s right, during his 17-year career, Brady has never fallen at the hands of the Falcons, according to Pro-Football-Reference. The Patriots star quarterback has faced the Falcons four times over the years, with the last meeting coming in a 30-23 Patriots’ victory in 2013. In that game, Brady tossed for
Cowboys Clinch NFC East Title, Home Field In Playoffs After Giants Lose To Eagle…
Share this: The road to the Super Bowl for the NFC will go through AT&T Stadium. The Dallas Cowboys clinched the NFC East title and home-field advantage throughout the NFC playoffs as a result of the New York Giants losing 24-19 to the Philadelphia Eagles on Thursday night. It remains to be seen if the Cowboys will rest any of their important players with nothing left to clinch over the final two weeks of the regular season. Maybe backup quarterback Tony Romo will take some snaps to make sure he’s ready if needed in the playoffs. The loss drops the Giants to 10-5, but they still are the favorite for the first wild card (No. 5 seed) in the NFC playoffs. Besides, going on
