Featuring Tom Brady, who was busy with three boys of his own. Till the one day when the lady met this fellow. That’s the way we all became the Brady bunch.

Kiebus & Logan: Where is the Super Bowl being played?
Tanner: Aren't they all played in Hawaii? Isn't that why John Madden can never go? He's afraid of flying. Is that right?
Kiebus & Logan note: Close, just about 2,900 miles off. Super Bowl XLIX is in Glendale, AZ. John Madden hasn't called a football game since 2008, but Tanner's right —he is afraid of flying.
Who is playing in the Super Bowl?
Patriots? Are they the Boston Patriots? I don't know who they're playing against. If I had to guess, I'd say the Bills, but that's only because I've seen a few people around the office in Bills hats.
New England Patriots are playing the Seattle Seahawks. But those Buffalo Bills fans in the office sound like some funny, handsome, loyal dudes.
What divisions are the two teams from?
There are divisions?! Um… The Patriots are from the Wolves of Fenris and I guess the Bills are Chaos Space Marines. I don't know. That's probably not right. The Bills are Abnegation and the Patriots are faction-less. Tom Brady is Divergent.
I'm not entirely sure this was written in English, but the correct answer is AFC East and NFC West.

What player loves Skittles?
This is a trick question. Who doesn't love Skittles? All of the above.
I can't argue with that logic, but the answer we were looking for was Marshawn Lynch.
Where do the New England Patriots play their home games (city, not the stadium)?
Oh, NEW ENGLAND Patriots! Do they play in Boston? They must. Where else would they play? Like, Providence?
The Patriots play in bumblefuck Foxborough, Massachusetts, which basically halfway between Providence and Boston.
A 20-year-old Seahawks fan got the surprise of his life when he delivered lunch to the Legion of Boom. Austin Calhoun spoke with BuzzFeed News.
Last week, Dominos Pizza employee Austin Calhoun pulled up to Richard Sherman's home to deliver a stack of pizzas. The 20-year-old Seattle-area native immediately noticed that this was a moment unlike the previous two times he'd delivered to the mansion in Maple Valley, Washington.
Those previous deliveries were during away game weeks, and Sherman's girlfriend, Ashley Moss, was the one accepting the pizza. On his 10-minute drive over to the residence, he'd thought to himself, "Huh, maybe Richard will be there this time."
When Calhoun arrived, he found Sherman's driveway filled with cars. He walked toward the garage, where Sports Illustrated photographer Robert Beck was conducting the photoshoot. He first saw safety Earl Thomas, then took another step toward the garage and thought, "Oh shit, they're all here."
Calhoun lives in nearby Covington, and told BuzzFeed News he's a lifelong Seahawks fan who is reeling with envy over his grandmother and uncle, who are in Arizona to attend the Seahawks' second Super Bowl in as many years. His coworkers at Dominos, who have also delivered to Richard Sherman's home on less exciting days, probably feel little sympathy for him, though.
When the players and photographer noticed him walking toward them with their order, someone told him to "get in the picture," and so he did. Photos of Calhoun with the most intimidating secondary in the NFL — the Legion of Boom — ran in a gallery that appeared in Sports Illustrated's online version of the feature. In the photos, he hands the stack of boxes to Richard Sherman, who had told SI that he wouldn't appear on the cover without his teammates. Calhoun is facing the squad, face-to-face with Kam Chancellor, whose jersey he wears while watching games with friends and family.
After watching the Seahawks with his family throughout his childhood — Walter Jones was his favorite while growing up — Calhoun says he realized "this team could be something special" after the tough loss they took to the Falcons in the 2012 Divisional Round.
Calhoun is excited for the Seahawks' second run for a ring, and thinks the match-up against the Patriots will be competitive and intense, unlike last year's 43-8 blowout against the Broncos. "It's like Peyton Manning just gave up after he caused a safety in the first quarter," he says, not inaccurately.
Now that the Seahawks have one Super Bowl victory under their belts, Calhoun says he's feeling confident and eagerly anticipates watching Sunday's game with close friends.
He hopes, along with his fellow Seahawks fans, widely known as the team's "12th Man," that the next time he delivers pizza to the best cornerback in the game, he'll be readying himself for the team's second consecutive victory parade.

Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll might be a 9/11 truther.
During a meeting with retired four-star general Peter Chiarelli, the Seahawks coach reportedly pressed the former high-ranking military official on most 9/11 conspiracy theories — particularly on whether or not a plane actually hit the Pentagon.
Seahawks star quarterback Russell Wilson gets his porn from Twitter.
Come on man, step up your porn game. That's why God invented streaming websites and "incognito" browsing.
Rob Gronkowski is friendly with Justin Bieber.
Sure, Rob Gronkowski is a football/party robot sent to earth to redefine our lame ideas of what it means to be awesome, HOWEVER enjoying the company of Justin Bieber is unforgivable.
