Congratulations to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with quarterback Tom Brady at the helm. I never doubted that he could win and what a job he did with teammates old and new. The game started with the football in Brady's hands and that's how it ended as the clock ticked down. Records were set in a year so fractured it was hard to know who would wind up on the roster and who would be sidelined.

There did exist a feeling of something positive - of heroes and superheroes - that unites the country at a time of Covid and division - part of the equation if only for a day. It represented the bright light at the end of the tunnel - a unifying force against all odds.
