The Last Night’s Game Team
NFL (National Football League)
Last night the Tampa Bay Buccaneers beat the Kansas City Chiefs, and Tom Brady won his record-breaking seventh Super Bowl at the age of 43. Brady is one of the oldest players in the league, but you’d never guess by watching last night’s game. He now has more championship titles than any NFL franchise but he still had to sleep in his kid's room last night. No one expected the game to be this lopsided, with the final score of 31-9. One of the most exciting moments on the field was a male fan dressed in a red cutout bathing suit dashing across the field late in the game. RUN FOR YOUR LIFE
Overtime
This weekend, the news that blew everyone’s mind was Green Bay Packers (NFL) quarterback Aaron Rodgers thanking his fiancée during his MVP acceptance speech. He has been rumored to be dating actress Shailene Woodley, but the identity of his fiancée has not been confirmed. Rodgers split with former race car driver Danica Patrick in July (but he still has pictures of her on his Instagram profile). BUILDING A MYSTERY
Sideline stat
While Brady was out there last night showing us why he deserved to be called the G.O.A.T., he wasn’t the only G.O.A.T. in action. Serena Williams played her opening match in the Australian Open (tennis), and of course, she made a fashion statement. She rocked a one-legged catsuit inspired by U.S. sprinter Florence “Flo-Jo” Griffith Joyner. Williams dominated her opponent, the first step on her way to securing her record-tying 24th Grand Slam title. GET AFTER IT
(If you’re not fluent in tennis, there are four Grand Slam Tournaments each season – Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon and the U.S. Open) – and winning one is a big deal.
Coaches’ corner
According to USA Today’s Ad Meter, Rocket Mortgage and Tracy Morgan took the top spot for Super Bowl commercials. Right behind them was Alexa and Michael B. Jordan’s spicy commercial, followed by M&Ms and Will Ferrell heading to Norway for GM. That’s what the experts thought but which one was your favorite? Tell us. MAKING IT MEMORABLE
What to watch
There have been mixed reviews over The Weeknd’s halftime show, but one thing is sure, he channeled some serious Michael Jackson vibes, his funhouse vibe made us dizzy and everyone loved his rendition of “Blinding Lights.” He spent $7 million of his own money to make the show more cinematic but was it worth it?
