  1. On a side note: it seems the whole Tampa Bay defense should have bee named MVP.

    1. Yeah, that was a pretty spectacular performance. I suppose it's not as noteworthy as a 7th Super Bowl victory for Tom Brady, but those guys should be proud of themselves.

  2. Rob Lytle was in Super Bowl 12? Holy smokes, I'm old. ;-)

    1. I was not around for the Rob Lytle days, so I only know him from the record books and old highlights.

    2. I have memories of Rick Leach, for sure. I think I can remember Rob Lytle. But I'm not certain.
