@@tres2112 carried a franchise (Tennessee) to its first ever SB appearance. Won an MVP in his career, multiple probowl nods in thick of Mannings AFC Regular Season Dominance, 91-62 as a starter, helped propagate the Scrambling QB that has since become almost necessary... In my humble opinion he had a better career than Rivers and Eli with far less support and both of those guys are probably HOFers, mind you eli has those 2 rings but outside of that his accomplishments dont really compare to McNair.. I made it clear before Air McNair probably wont make the Hall, but hes a legend in this game and it's not really debatable.

And I'm a lifelong Washington fan. And I can admit Eli presented one of the greatest drives in Football history to beat the 18-0 Pats. On that alone hes a Hall of Famer in my book. No one on the planet could have expected the Pats to run into a Buzzsaw named Eli... and he did it TWICE

Super Bowl 49's ending just felt so cathartic for Pats fans everywhere. The last two trips, they had to witness the defense play their heads off just give up a random fluke play late and collapse right after, and it was looking like it was going to be more of the same after Jermaine Kearse's unbelievable catch. Then Malcolm Butler managed to swoop in seal the deal late, breaking the decade long drought and getting Brady his 4th and very well deserved ring. What an ending.

My top finishes from this: 1) Super Bowl 43 (both teams giving everything they have and while I wanted to see the Cardinals win, that Holmes toe tap is still one of the most iconic plays in NFL history; with the Super Bowl back in Tampa, I hope we get an incredible finish this time as well) 2) Super Bowl 34 (dang man, this wanted to see the Titans pull that one out but definitely one of the most iconic finishes in any sport and the Titans almost completed an incredible comeback but came up ONE YARD SHORT [pun intended]) 3) Super Bowl 49 (despite the Butler interception, both teams couldn't have been a better matchup for each other. Along with the play mentioned before, Kearse's wild bobble catch is great as well but definitely heartbreaking) 4) Super Bowl 42 (The Giants coming back to ruin the Patriots' perfect season with The Helmet Catch and the touchdown afterwards was truly special) 5) Super Bowl 54 (while not as iconic as the other 4, it's still amazing the Chiefs did it and won one for Kansas City after 50 years. Mahomes magic, Williams game sealer, and the 49ers having heartbreak again due to Shanahan; also when me and my dad watched the game last year and the 49ers were up by 10, I called it that the Chiefs would come back to win and they did) Edit: I now realize that Super Bowl 54 wasn't here but that Super Bowl 52 finish was nice as well
