The Max Whittle Podcast

This week on the US Sports Podcast with Max Whittle, a couple of NFL big-hitters come onto the podcast to look back on Super Bowl LI, where the New England Patriots overcame a 28-3 deficit to defeat the Atlanta Falcons and win their fifth championship. Dan Shaughnessy, a sports columnist for the Boston Globe, talks about the Patriots' changing game plan at half-time, his writing approach as the game flipped dramatically, Roger Goodell's podium visit being serenaded by boos, the futures of Stephen Gostkowski and Rob Gronkowski, the alternative story to Tom Brady and Bill Belichick being the greatest quarterback/coach duo in NFL history and a quick comment on the Boston Celtics' ceiling this season. Then, Don Banks of patriots.com explains his bemusement at the Falcons' play-calling in the second half, his thoughts on Lady Gaga's half-time performance, comparing the Patriots' success with other Boston teams through history, if the overtime rules are fair and which of the Patriots and Falcons has a better chance of returning to the Super Bowl next season.
