I am making my choice on the coaches rather than the quarterbacks. Brady has won plenty. Mahomes won last year and probably has many great years ahead of him. But, I would like to see Bruce Arians win a Superbowl. He impressed me during his time in Indianapolis.

Hmmm... I would have guessed that you [Ken] would be a Bucs fan and would be pumped. How about the Rays? Or is it just the Lightning?
I'm looking forward to this game. KC is always a blast to watch. And Tampa has a great defense and Brady compels interest from any football fan, he is football history in the making every time he takes the field.
There is a lot tedious promotion before the game, but the game itself has been a good to great game far more times than not. You have to like football, but if you do, the Super Bowl is just that, Super!
And if you don't like football, there's plenty of other stuff to do and the game doesn't interfere with your doing it. So, it's a win/win glorious day. A Super Day!

I'm worried Brady is about to meet his Waterloo. One more time Tommy. You is the GOAT!

5-Year-Old Girl in Critical Condition After Car Crash Involving Kansas City Chiefs Assistant Coach
A multi-vehicle car crash involving Britt Reid, the son of Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid and the team's outside linebackers coach, on Thursday night has left a 5-year-old girl in critical condition.
Police say Reid, 35, admitted to drinking prior to the crash, which took place near the team's home stadium in Kansas City, Mo., just days before Super Bowl LV. An investigation is underway and Reid has not yet been charged.
"The organization has been made aware of a multi-vehicle accident involving Outside Linebackers Coach, Britt Reid. We are in the process of gathering information, and we will have no further comment at this time. Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone involved," the Chiefs said in a statement.
The 5-year-old girl is in "critical condition in the hospital and hasn't awoken since the crash," according to a GoFundMe page created by a family member. Two children who were sitting in the back of a Chevrolet Traverse were hurt in the crash: a 4-year-old who suffered non-life-threatening injuries and a 5-year-old child who suffered life-threatening injuries.
A GoFundMe page was created to cover the 5-year-old's medical expenses. As of Sunday morning, the page has surpassed its initial $100,000 goal.
The 5-year-old, whose name is Ariel, "suffered swelling and bleeding in and around the brain," according to the page's description.
"Her mother is a single mom of 3 having to deal with this on her own due to Covid restrictions, Ariel will be in the hospital for the foreseeable future, this is set up for the hospital bills and weeks of missed work that will come," the page states. "No child deserves to go through this, nor should any mother have to see her child like this. We appreciate any support that is given right now."
According to ESPN, Reid's father Andy, 62, is still set to coach the Chiefs at their Super Bowl matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Britt is not expected to be coaching at the game.
The Chiefs did not respond to PEOPLE's request for comment. The Kansas City Police Department has yet to respond.
A spokesperson for the KCPD said the crash occurred on Feb. 4 shortly after 9 p.m. local time on the southbound Interstate 435 on-ramp from Stadium Drive.
A Chevrolet Impala had run out of gas on the entrance ramp and the Traverse parked in front of the disabled car to help. Both vehicles had their lights on, but the Impala's battery was fading at the time, according to police.
While the drivers of both vehicles attempted to get the stranded car running, a Dodge Ram pickup driven by Reid — traveling on the entrance ramp struck the left front of the Impala.
According to police, the Ram truck then continued forward and slammed into the rear of the Traverse, injuring both children inside.
According to a search warrant obtained by WDAF-TV, Reid allegedly told the investigator on the scene that he was the driver of the Ram truck.
The officer noted in the warrant a "smell a moderate odor of alcoholic beverage" on Reid as the officer interviewed him. When asked if he had been drinking, Britt told the investigator that he had "2-3 drinks," according to the court document.
Reid also told the officer that he was on Adderall, police noted in the warrant.
The officer "observed signs of impairment" after conducting a brief sobriety test on Reid, who then complained of stomach pain and was transported to a hospital for treatment, police said in the warrant.
Once at the hospital, the officer conducted a full sobriety test and observed four clues of impairment, the warrant stated. The officer requested and received a search warrant to draw Britt's blood.
Impairment is under investigation, a spokesperson for the KCPD said.

In addition to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers battling it out with the Kansas City Chiefs tonight, Super Bowl LV will feature an array of performances you won't want to miss. Grammy-nominated artists Eric Church and Jazmine Sullivan will collaborate for the first time to perform the national anthem ahead of Super Bowl LV at Raymond James Stadium. Grammy-award winning artist H.E.R. will also make an appearance during the pregame festivities and is scheduled to sing "America the Beautiful."
Despite coming from different areas of the music scene, Sullivan and Church will combine their unique styles for the performance: Sullivan is a master in the R&B and pop genre, while Church is an acclaimed country singer. An NFL representative said partners at Roc Nation have been great in assisting with the vision of combining artists in new ways. Church and Sullivan will mark only the second duet for a Super Bowl national anthem performance.

I will bet $50 that the winner of this game will also win in the instant replay. Any takers?

Well, as much as I would like New Kid to challenge the GOAT's crown, the appeal of the first two TDs being Brady-Gronk plays is just wonderful, so GO, BUCS!
