Bill Belichick, one of the greatest coaches in NFL history, made a bold proposal: renaming the Lombardi Cup at Tom Brady’s name. This is not only a honor to the best player in the history of American rugby, but also a statement about Brady’s unfortunate influence on the tournament.

Lombardi Trophy, the most noble title for the Super Bowl championship, has long been associated with the name of Vince Lombardi, the training legend of Green Bay Packers. However, with the record seven times the Super Bowl champion and countless unprecedented milestones, Tom Brady has established a unique heritage in the sports industry. Belichick, who and Brady, won six championships with New England Patriots, better than everyone else’s great student.

Under Brady, Patriots not only became a dominant force but also changed the way of viewing the career of a midfielder. The endurance, the will to win and his leadership have set new standards for every generation later. If Lombardi represents the beginning of the glory of modern NFL, then Brady is a symbol of great greatness lasting for two decades.

However, Belichick’s proposal will definitely be controversial. Vince Lombardi is not only an excellent coach but also a cultural symbol of NFL, who laid the foundation for the spirit of victory that the tournament pursues. The renaming of the trophy can make many traditional fans feel dissatisfied. But in terms of personal influence, it is rare for anyone to deny that Brady has redefined the greatness in sports.

This idea may not become a reality soon, but it opens an interesting debate: Will Tom Brady deserve to be the representative face of the most noble title NFL? If not Lombardi Trophy, perhaps the tournament will have to find another way to recognize the greatest player in his history.
