Super Bowl Recap

Thank you for joining me; the twelfth-man blog is back!! Welcome back to the second edition of the twelfth man blog, where this week we are talking all about the Super Bowl. This blog will include a recap of this week’s episode so make sure you tune into Spotify and Apple music every Thursday to give us a listen. This week I was joined by my roommate and friend Adam Groves; growing up in Texas, football is a lifestyle, and as an athlete himself, he walks us through what it is like growing up in Texas. We touched on all of the questions I thought were interesting such as what is it like playing in front of 50 or 60 thousand fans on an average Friday night. Although he has never played fantasy sports, we touched on the fact that it is such a big part of football and what makes it so great. From buddies bribing each other with money to make a trade go through or big fantasy football draft parties, it is something that both of us want to get into in the near future, and I am learning more and more about it each day as I am researching my capstone.

Along with all of that, we talked about the love of football in Texas and how everyone responds to it, which lead us into the talk about our love of football and the Super Bowl last Sunday, February 7th. My guest for this week, Adam, was in awe of Tom Brady’s performance, saying that the game itself was a little disappointing because of how uneven it turned out to be. Going back to what I said last week, Brady sat Patrick Mahomes down and put on an absolute clinic. Todd Bowles shut down the Kansas City Chief’s offense, he did his homework, and it showed this past Sunday, February 7th. One of the greatest athletes of all time, just won his 7th championship trophy in Super Bowl 55 and is coming back, and has no signs of stopping soon.

Here is one question I will leave you with. If you could bring one player out of retirement, no matter the sport or the decade they played in, who would still be at their prime level, who would it be and why? Leave your comments down below, and we might even feature this debate in the near future.
