When asked who he would rather catch a pass from before Sunday night’s NFL Super Bowl, President Joe Biden chose Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes over Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady. As a result, Brady won his seventh career Super Bowl title.
The Kansas City Chiefs and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers squared off in the Super Bowl championship game Sunday. Talking with CBS News anchor Norah O’Donnell before the game, Biden was asked which team he thought would win, and he gave a sophisticated, political answer.
Biden, a former player, revealed that he once dreamed of playing professional football. “I had crazy Dreams,” Biden said, “not of being president, but of being a quarterback in Major League Baseball.”
Biden did not directly say who he would like to win the game, but he said he would prefer to catch a pass from Mahomes. Clearly, he sided with Mahomes over Brady.
“Obviously, Brady is a great quarterback,” Biden said, “and Mahomes looks like he has a lot of potential. I’ll probably throw with this young man who (we) don’t expect much from him.”
Former White House press secretary Sean Spicer tweeted that President Biden picked Mahomes before the Super Bowl.
While Biden clearly favored Mahomes in the Super Bowl, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers outscored the Kansas City Chiefs 31-9 at Home. Brady won his seventh career Super Bowl title and was voted Most Valuable Player (MVP) for the fifth Time.
Brady versus Mahomes was billed as a Super Bowl matchup for the ages, and as a result, Brady, the oldest Super Bowl player at 43, defeated Mahomes, an up-and-comer 18 years his junior.
“You want to get this far, you’ve got to get it done.” Brady said in a video conference, “We did it.”
Brady, a longtime friend of former President Trump, displayed a “Make America Great Again” hat in his locker during the 2016 presidential campaign, even though he did not formally endorse Trump’s candidacy.
