Tom Brady Makes Shady Dig At Trump's Election Lies During White House Super Bowl Event
Earlier this week, President Joe Biden invited the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to the White House to celebrate their Super Bowl win earlier this year. The tradition would normally have been relatively uneventful in a year like 2021, except for some comments made by Tom Brady.
Brady was an obsession for former President Donald Trump. Seeing the athlete visit Biden in the White House is speculated to be a personal nightmare for the former President.
However Trump felt about the visit, it's sure to be worse when Brady made this joke:
Brady: Not a lot of people think we couldβve won. In fact, I think about 40% of the people still donβt think we wonβ¦ https://t.co/n8yBEFhbeYβ Acyn (@Acyn) 1626796724.0
Brady also made fun of the bad nicknames Trump tends to come up with.
President Biden praised the team for their win and called the team an example that it's "never too late to come together and achieve extraordinary things." He also used the opportunity to recommend people get vaccinated.
The whole situation struck the internet funny.
Who's in charge of making sure Trump sees this? Can we get the clip on a show that he hate watches? Something on CNβ¦ https://t.co/6wK8Kfv3sPβ Jon Favreau (@Jon Favreau) 1626815530.0

Who knew Tom Brady had jokes?! https://t.co/N5dOEO8uaVβ Doc King-Lewis (@Doc King-Lewis) 1626841117.0
The Buc's visit marks the first time a Super Bowl champion team has visited the White House since 2017. The Patriots won, with Brady's help at the time, though the athlete himself skipped the tradition.
This likely upset Trump, seeing as the former president used to use his Twitter account to defend Brady while he was caught in a scandal over using deflated footballs.
However, not all of Brady's history is so easily forgotten, including a "Make America Great Again" hat he had in his locker in 2016.

This is the first NFL visit by Super Bowl champions since 2017.
In 2018, the Philadelphia Eagles were uninvited by Trump due to protest during the National Anthem. In 2019, The Patriots won again, but chose not to go, though they confirmed it had nothing to do with politics.
And of course, the 2020 winners, The Kansas City Chiefs skipped due to the pandemic.
Head coach of the Bucs, Bruce Arians said it was an honor to be invited to the White House and hopes the political divide in Washington can be overcome for the American people.
J-Lo Had The Classiest Response To Haters Who Thought Her And Shakira's Super Bowl Performance Was Too Sexy
After the controversy behind this year's Super Bowl Halftime Show, Jennifer Lopez has finally spoken out about the response.
She responded to the criticism during an interview with Variety at the Spirit Awards, to which she had a powerful response.
While the performance was a clear hit amongst most fans, some viewers felt the performance was "too sexy" and even "pornographic."
J-Lo, of course, responded with class.

Lopez was able to laugh about the criticism before delivering her answer.
"That's honestly silliness," said J-Lo.
"Both of us are really respectful performers who are moms, who have kids, who are very conscious of what we do."
"We did a show that I believe was a celebration of women and our Latino culture that was really well received. And that small faction of people who want to be negative about it, it's not something I can even let in because it was such an amazing night, and so many beautiful things came out of it."
"The message of standing up for yourself, being a woman β that's what I want to pass on to little girls. You're strong, you're beautiful β everything about you, be proud of it."

85-Year-Old Actor Wilford Brimley Became An Unlikely Viral Star After People Realized He Looks Like The Kansas City Chiefs' Head Coach
With Super Bowl 2020 in the books, it's time to consider the slew of memes and internet humor that inevitably erupted after the big game.
The latest victim: Wilford Brimley, famous for his roles in Cocoon and The Thing fame.
It's truly incredible what irrelevant things become the focus after global television events.
You can call the internet a lot of things, but lacking attention to detail is certainly not one of them.
Relevant PSA: 85-year-old cowboy hat king Wilford Brimley IS NOT the coach of the Kansas City Chiefs, the champions of the NFL's Super Bowl LIV.
Though according to Twitter, Brimley looks way too similar to Kansas City Chiefs' Head Coach, Andy Reid, to not have some fun about it.
Feast your eyes on a side-by-side.

Bar Stool Sports' very own Ellie Schnitt kicked off the circus with a quick tweet during the game.
serious question is the chiefs coach the βdiabeetusβ guyβ ellie schnitt (@ellie schnitt) 1580689694.0
To clarify, "the 'diabeetus guy'" is the Wilford Brimley in question.
Anyone who's been sick, had a snow day, or played hookey and watched daytime TV remembers the Liberty Medical television ad Schnitt alluded to.
Regarding the timelier Brimley-Reid comparison, Twitter was 100% on board with incessant meme production.

Reid, presumably, had a more ambitious Sunday evening than the 85-year old actor, as he took home his first Super Bowl win ever, defeating the San Francisco 49ers.
That said, Brimley did find himself some excitement as he replied to Ellie Schnitt's original tweet.

Takei's tweet is a nod to the halftime show at the 2020 Super Bowl, courtesy of J Lo, age 50, and Shakira, 43.
In closing, here's an equally stimulating video of Wilford Brimley saying "diabeetus" for 10 straight hours.
Enjoy!
Here's to modern technology's ability to make actors from past generations relevant all over again.
Guy Caught On Video Sleeping At The Super Bowl Goes Viral For Taking 'World's Most Expensive Nap'
The Kansas City Chiefs won out over the San Francisco 49ers in an exciting Super Bowl this past Sunday, February 2.
Though most agreed the game was an exciting one, there was one man in the stands caught on camera taking a solid nap during the first quarter. He has now become an internet celebrity thanks to a viral tweet from @KarisaMaxwell.

Somebody hook this guy up with NBA finals tickets - he's sleepy!
Commercial slots aired during the Super Bowl are highly coveted, and you can bet on some outrageous advertisements.
One of the most bizarre commercials involved actor Jason Momoa shedding his skin.
We are used to seeing the hunky tattooed bod of the Aquaman star, but nothing could prepare fans for the visual nightmare to come during the airing of the LIV Super Bowl.
Home lending company Rocket Mortgage featured the former Game of Thrones actor about being "comfortable in his own skin."
Home. Where comfortable means no shoes, no wig, and no β¦ ? π€ See how Jason Momoa gets comfortable at home and howβ¦ https://t.co/MnOmQBmxOUβ Rocket Mortgage by Quicken Loans (@Rocket Mortgage by Quicken Loans) 1580688446.0
We all know Momoa does not shy away from going shirtless whether he is on or off camera, but home viewers were not expecting his interpretation about being comfortable in his own skin.
Momoa started off the ad successfully evading the paparazzi and describing what "home" meant to him.
"It's the one place I can let my guard down."
Then things took a bizarre turn when he said:
"It's where I can just kick back and be totally comfortable in my own skin."
He cooly delivered the line while tearing off the outer layers of his burly arms, revealing significantly lankier limbs.
Jason momoa really did THAT #SuperBowl https://t.co/JkfiorX2ipβ soupβ’doop (@soupβ’doop) 1580688623.0
Momoa was just getting started.
He continued to shed other parts of his body and gradually exposed a significantly leaner physique.
Fans simply could not process what they were seeing.

He continued:
"Rocket Mortgage understands that home is where I can be myself and that feels pretty darn good."
And with that, he ripped off his toupee and had the audacity to give his dumbstruck fans a casual smirk to the camera.
