The BIG Transition

 

Hello readers,

                                                                  

   with Covid-19 pandemic and the tumultuous year that was 2020, another freakishly unbelievable thing happened. On March 17, 2020, Tom Brady announced that he was not only leaving my beloved Patriots but that he was in fact moving to my new home team- The Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

   I was at work and my coworkers told me. I answered, “no way! Why would a quarterback like Tom Brady go to a so-so team like the Bucs?” But I was wrong.  I could not believe that he would leave the Patriots to join and organization that played a blink quarterback last season. Winston announced going for eye surgery about the same time and this is when it was announced that he had had vision issues all last season.




   Then, in the first few games, Coach stated to the press that Tom was to blame for losses or something to that affect.  Again, I thought “Tom what have you done?” But Tom Brady and the other players just kept playing.

   Then I thought, well, if they make the playoffs, it will be an accomplishment.  Amidst the public conflict with the coach and quarterback. The constant blaming of Brady for losses, I thought they couldn’t make it to the playoffs. Again, I was wrong.

   Then the Steelers and the Ravens (whom I thought might win) were eliminated by other teams!  I cautiously thought, what if they go to the Super bowl? And on January 24th they won against Green Bay and got the NFC Championship!  Somehow, Tom and the new composite Tampa Bay Buccaneers made it to the playoffs!  It’s extraordinary, but this new team made it!


 


   They play the Kansas City Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes (my second favorite quarterback).  Mahomes always looks like a kid in a high school game, but he plays and wins against giants! 

Good luck, guys!  Go Tom! Go Buccaneers!  Go Succop!!!
