How NFL poetic would it be for Tom Brady's team to be the first home team in the Super Bowl?
Is the fix in for Sunday?

Mythbuster:
No team has ever played in a Super Bowl and hosted the Super Bowl at the same time.
Fact:
Super Bowl XIV was played in the Rose Bowl. The teams in the Super Bowl were the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Los Angeles Rams. You can say the Rams hosted that Super Bowl. Pasadena was only ten minutes from LA.

This was the second time a team could have been considered a home team for a Super Bowl, with Stanford just 30 miles (48 km) away from San Francisco proper - Stanford is actually 15 miles (24 km) closer to the city than Santa Clara, where the 49ers play home games today. The 49ers' practice facility was located in Redwood City at the time, just 5 miles (8.0 km) from Stanford Stadium. Promotion for the Super Bowl also contributed to that feeling with many photographs of the Vince Lombardi Trophy near San Francisco landmarks such as the Golden Gate Bridge. Thus, the 49ers may be considered the only team to have won the Super Bowl at home. The Los Angeles Rams also played near home at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California in Super Bowl XIV, but lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
That's not going to happen this year either.

It didn't come down to that play. Packers had chances but no answer for that suffocating defense.

Me too.
Brady has the money though. Can’t blame him for getting a win the way he usually does.
By cheating.

Hahahahahahaha
The Packers had more delay of games not called then Punts in this game.
You can certainly blame the refs for that.
That game basically relied on Aaron Rodgers needing to be perfect for his team to win
When your team is in that spot you're not going to lose because of one penalty call.
