1. Tom Brady Officially Retires
As Brady walks away from the game, only Aaron Rodgers remains of the generational band of quarterback brothers who made the game even more exciting with their athleticism, football intelligence, and consistent play at a very high level.

So much will be said and written about Brady now that he will no longer be on the field each fall Sunday.
Former opponent Ryan Clark talked candidly about how his Pittsburgh Steelers were so successful against many but not often against Brady’s Patriots.
Calling him the “game’s greatest learner” and the “game’s greatest achiever,” Clark talked about how Brady reinvented himself through the various stages of his career.

4. Super Bowl Trivia Question
What is the highest point differential between two Super Bowl teams?
a. 22 points
b. 31 points
c. 45 points
While you are thinking and before I tell you the answer, I am sending out a special thanks to my mother Kay Smith who shared a quiz containing 10 Super Bowl trivia questions from her local newspaper, The Gettysburg Times.
This means there will be more questions like this in the coming days.
Back to the question, if you answered C – 45 points, you are correct.
In 1990, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Joe Montana threw 5 touchdown passes, and became the first to accomplish that feat in a Super Bowl, to lead his team to victory over the Denver Broncos by the score of 55-10.
Montana was named the Super Bowl MVP.
On this day in 1990, Joe Montana becomes the first player to throw 5 touchdown passes in a #SuperBowl.
The 55-10 win is the biggest blowout in Super Bowl history.@JoeMontana is named game MVP for the third time in his career. #Random49ers #FTTB pic.twitter.com/AiTa92weEo
