After the Patriots’ won the Super Bowl on Sunday night, the celebration went about as you’d expect. There was confetti, lots of players kissing the Lombardi Trophy, TV interviews wherein nothing of any importance was said, a few players dancing in the locker room, and then, late into the night, a catered after-party that doubled as a Ludacris concert. The Patriots have won six of these things in the last 18 years, as you may have heard, so they get the program by now.
But amidst all of that celebrating, Tom Brady was standing onstage, talking to Jim Nantz and holding his 6-year-old daughter Vivian.
