Super Bowl 58 was one for the record books… Congrats to Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs on the big win.
The moment you have all waited for is finally here, ladies and gentlemen. The final grades for all Super Bowl 58 commercials and boy do we have a dandy!
Bet MGM – Tom Brady Is Back In The Super Bowl!! FINAL GRADE: A+
Hard as it is to believe, it’s already been three years since Tom Brady made his final appearance in Super Bowl 55 — when he led the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to a victory over Patrick Mahomes’ Chiefs.
In his 23-year career, Brady played in 10 Super Bowls and won seven of them. If you want to “count” his 2024 Bet MGM ad, then we suppose Brady has technically appeared in “11” Super Bowls.
Brady crushed it in this commercial…so we suppose his “winning” in the Super Bowl still hasn’t stopped.
