Tampa Bay, FL…We didn’t want to follow the Super Bowl yesterday. We had a ton of work to do but we got drawn in by Brady’s effort to slow down father time. Not only that it was to see if he could help a new group of 50 guys take a Super Bowl title. For us the real interesting part was could he use what he’s learned over the years to help build another winning team. The answer at least on the scoreboard as time ran out was yes. It reminded us of the old Zig Ziglar quote “You can get everything in life you want if you will just help enough other people get what they want”. Congratulations Tom Brady and the Buccaneers and thanks for showing us all that in some ways age truly is just a number.
Below is the MVP release from the NFL…
Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback TOM BRADY was voted the winner of the Pete Rozelle Trophy awarded to the Super Bowl LV Most Valuable Player, presented by Verizon.
This marks the fifth time Brady has won the award, having previously been voted the Most Valuable Player in Super Bowls LI, XLIX, XXXVIII and XXXVI. Brady is the only player in NFL history to win the award five times.
Brady has won seven Super Bowls, the most by a player in NFL history, and joins Pro Football Hall of Famer PEYTON MANNING as the only starting quarterbacks to win Super Bowls with multiple franchises.
Brady completed 21 of 29 attempts (72.4 percent) for 201 yards and three touchdowns with no interceptions for a 125.8 passer rating. He also extended his Super Bowl records for the most career completions (277), passing yards (3,039) and passing touchdowns (21).
The award is chosen by a panel comprised of 16 media members and by fans interactively through the National Football League’s official website, NFL.com.
