Super Bowl Recap

 


Super Bowl LV, and with it the 2020 NFL Season, is in the books. And it was a wild one. Tom Brady won his seventh Super Bowl in 10 appearances with a 31-9 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs. It's a number that will never be caught and further solidifies his position as the best to play the position.

In terms of being a fun game, this one wasn't. It wasn't super competitive as the Chiefs seemed to fold. It was a flat, and scoreless fourth quarter, too. The Buccaneers dominated in both halves on the way to a victory to end the season. For the Chiefs, a bid for back-to-back titles fell short. For the Buccaneers, Brady seem ready to run it back and they figure to be among the league's best teams again.

Now, for a few other thoughts:

* The Chiefs have great weapons in Travis Kelce and Tyreek Hill, and rookie running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire had a solid season and some flashes in the Super Bowl. But the team needs another threat opposite Hill to compete in these big games. Mecole Hardman doesn't appear to be it, and Sammy Watkins hasn't been the answer. It will be interesting to see what they do this off-season.

* The Buccaneers have a great set of weapons, but plenty of free agent questions. Leonard Fournette, Ronald Jones, Rob Gronkowski, Chris Godwin, Antonio Brown, Shaq Barrett, and Lavonte David are free agents, among others. They can't keep them all, so who joins the squad next season?

* Brady threw for 201 yards and three TDs, earning his fifth MVP Award. He's not a bad choice, but I would have liked to see Gronk, who had six catches for 67 yards and two TDs get some consideration. I thought he really opened things up for the Buccaneers and helped them establish the win.

The Burial a courtroom drama with heart

Image
Willie Gary (Jamie Foxx) is a brash trial lawyer who is good at rallying a jury to his cause. Jeremiah O’Keefe (Tommy Lee Jones) is a quiet grandfather who is trying to ensure the business his family built remains viable after he’s gone. These two don’t appear to have much in common on the surface. But when they’re brought together by young lawyer Hal Dockins (Mamoudou Athie) brings them together, a connection is formed over their shared background of working hard to become self-made men. And it turned out that Willie was just who Jerry needed in his corner to win the fight of his life. The new Prime Video film The Burial, which opened in theaters October 6 and started streaming October 13, captures that trial against the Loewen Group that changed the course of their lives. The film is based on the true story and covers the trial, but more importantly captures the relationship between the men. The film plays out like a traditional courtroom drama. Foxx is solid as Willie Gary, while Ju

Broncos Draft Targets

Image
  The NFL Draft is just a few days away. On April 25, the Denver Broncos will head into the draft in the midst of something of a rebuild. In the draft, the Broncos have the No. 12 pick in Round 1, then have a Third Round Pick, Fourth Round Pick, three Fifth Round Picks, a Sixth Round Pick, and a Seventh Round Pick. So, what might they be targeting? Let's dive in and look at possible positions. Quarterback : The team clearly needs a long-term quarterback. Jarrett Stidham and Ben DiNucci are there but the team could certainly use someone else. Could they move up for Drake Maye or J.J. McCarthy? Yes, they could. Will the take Bo Nix at 12? It's possible. Or will the Broncos wait until next off-season to make a move? Anything is in play for the Broncos in 2024, but quarterback is surely a need. Tight End: The team brought back Adam Trautman and still has Greg Dulcich, but it's still a need. Dulcich hasn't been able to get on the field and Trautman hasn't been great. Co

Favorite Westerns, No. 43

Image
  Do you like a good Western? It's a classic genre in film and this year I've decided to look at some of my favorite Westerns. So, join me each Friday as I count down my favorite Westerns from No. 50 to No. 1. Rooster Cogburn : [ watching Mattie ford the river hanging on the back of her horse] By God. She reminds me of me. True Grit (1969) Starring : John Wayne, Kim Darby, Glen Campbell, Robert Duvall, and Dennis Hopper Director : Henry Hathaway About: This is the third straight week with a film from Wayne. As you might guess, we're not done. As I've mentioned, he sets a standard for the genre. Here, we seen him bring to life an iconic character. This one is based on a novel, and it has endured. He's great as Rooster Cogburn, so good that he got a sequel in the same character. But this is a later film in his career. This is a different, more grizzled Wayne. He's still quite good and this is a film that really has stood the test of time. It's not the only ve
