The same two things greeted me every morning when I walked into the Mall of America in Minneapolis, where the media center was, during the days leading up to Super Bowl LII.
They were the life-sized banners of Tom Brady and Nick Foles, hanging from an atrium ceiling that draped down about three stories into the heart of the mall.
I shook my head each time and thought the same thing… no way Foles beats Brady.
Then it happened. The backup went toe-to-toe with the greatest quarterback of all time and won, 41-33.
Four years later, the memories haven’t died.
