I respect what the Patriots have achieved and their coaching staff but they are a bunch of cheats and hence would root for anyone who played them. And one of Atlanta's coaches, Raheem Morris, is a good friend so I will be team Atlanta in two weeks time.

That by any stretch of the imagination was two very one sided games in championship finals.
Looks like being a good final.

For a bit of fun if quarterbacks were golfers imo -
Brady would be Ernie Els in his 94-98 prime, big unflappable guy with smooth effortless power to make the ball fly miles and accurately.
Don't like Roethlisbergers throwing action, its ugly but steady so he'd be Jim Furyk.
Rodgers hot streak just ended, looked like he played ok but the Atlanta offense was too good for Packers defence, he'd be Phil Mickelson - brilliant but risky/erratic.
That leaves Ryan, player of the moment with a good action helped by brilliant receivers, bit young still early to judge so Jason Day for him.

Apart from cheating

always amazes me the Tom Brady wasnt even a first round pick .he was a sixth round pick ,so every team in the NFL could have had Brady playing for them .

I picked both the AFC and NFC Champions after week 8. I only wish I'd put money on it.

I was at the old Video Cafe in London at Channel 4's Super Bowl party for that one. Was on air pre-game predicting the Bears would win by 30. Tony Eason totally shat himself that day - if the Bears hadn't eased off in the second half, that one could have finished 70-0. The Patriots had no clue had to stop the 46 defense.

not quite 70-0 pats scored a field goal on first possesion iirc.

Who was the back up QB, Steve Grogan rings a bell. At the time I thought he was better that the starting QB. First time I had watched a Super Bowl and was proper bogged off. It was only a couple of years later that I was kinda chuffed the Bears won it primarily because Walter Payton carried that team for years. Only bettered by the running back that run like a gazelle, ? Also played for the Bears.

Brady got to play in 2001 when Bledsoe got hurt. It caused a lot of trouble amongst the team when Brady kept the job at mid-season when Drew was fit again. But I guess it turned out OK in the end. Steve Grogan retired at the end of the 1980s. He had been there for years and had a good career. I remember doing a piece on him for Gridiron UK magazine entitled "Grogan's Run". I even had a coat to get then too!
Grogan backed up Tony Eason in Super Bowl XX and came in during the 2nd quarter when Eason was 0 for 6 and about three sacks. The Pats kept on calling seven step drops and the Bears were just running riot. A friend of mine, Tyrone Keys, tells some great stories about the Patriot offensive line pleading on them to ease off the blitzes in the 2nd half as the game was over.

Grid iron uk, that's an old mag, can't remember if that was the mag I used to buy when I played for Mansfield express. We got shafted by West Brom Fireballs in the last game of the season when they slipped a few Birmingham Bulls players in as ringers. At that time we were the best team in the UK with no American players.
good days they were playing v Stoke spitfires, Black Country nailers? ( they were a good set of lads. Played USAF Mildenhall. We proper had our butts kicked.
Then played against a team from Hawaii at Notts Forests ground. They battered us 80 odd nil. They had to start running two pointers coz the first PAT went sailing through the posts over the stand and ended up in the river Trent.
That team was full of all Americans and ex Canadian FL players, they were brutal. They said post match that they knew they would beat us as our stances were wrong at scrimmages etc, and our bad stances are ironed out in there pee wee leagues.
It was that game where I lasted all of one play when I injured my knee after four seconds. We got our butts kicked. Nottingham Hoods who were a team of big time Charlie's brought some of there players along to help us. They went on giving it the big I am. We had just punted and the ball was on hawaiis 20 yd line. They were giving there QB some lip about how he was getting his first sack of the day. Ten seconds later, Hawaii scored an 80 yd touch down. Even we cheered. Happy days.

I remember going to see the Rotherham Redskins first game in the mid 80s, must have been 1,000 people there to watch the worst game of American Football ever 😂 We had a last minute td ruled out as well which would have won the game.

When I was writing for Gridiron, we always pushed the game as being really successful, lots of big plays, great performances etc. But of course in reality as Tashyboy says, it was crap. Just be grateful you never had to deal with Victor Ebubedike or "Victor X Mohammed" as he changed his name to. Big-time Charlie doesn't even do it justice. The NFL Europe players on the Monarchs all hated him with a passion.
