Conventional wisdom holds that Bill Belichick is the best football coach ever, and that Tom Brady is the greatest quarterback ever, and that Aaron Rodgers is this year's Most Valuable Player.
After watching the NFL playoffs this weekend, you have to wonder if only one of those three presumptions holds true.
On Sunday, Brady, playing with a bunch of reserve skill-position players, lost his best offensive lineman to yet another injury and led Tampa Bay to a 31-0 lead before coasting to a 31-15 victory over Philadelphia.
On Saturday, Belichick played the third playoff game of his career without Brady.
