Poet Amanda Gorman at Super Bowl LVThree quick Super Bowl bites as we move on from the terribly lop-sided event into this Monday morning:
• While I’m no fan, there’s no denying Tom Brady is pretty much the best quarterback in the history of the NFL. That said, why did he have to choose to make a statement about not wearing a face mask as he entered the stadium yesterday – even as everyone around him did?
He may be a great quarterback, but he could be less of a selfish jerk and put on a damn mask. Terrible role model. pic.twitter.com/nLK7hawdvT

• And speaking of ‘no face mask’…
Florida is going to kill us all

• But I’ll close this from the luminous Amanda Gorman who helped open the Super Bowl with “Chorus of the Captains.”
