Tampa Mayor Jokes of Renaming City to "Tompa Bay" if Buccaneers Win Super Bowl

The Buccaneers may join the Lightning this Sunday as Tampa Bay-based champions of their respective sports, but only one team has an athlete who could influence the renaming of the city.

Tampa Bay mayor Jane Castor made a joke Wednesday about renaming the city to "Tompa Bay" if Brady leads the Buccaneers to a Super Bowl LV win against the Chiefs.

"I told him we are not discussing changing our city's name until he brings home that Lombardi Trophy. So Tom and I will have that discussion in due time," Castor told ESPN's Jenna Laine.
