On this day in 2004 we remember Janet Jackson and the craziest Super Bowl when the Patriots beat the Carolina Panthers with a last-second field goal. The game itself had a lot of quirks. For example, despite 868 total yards and 61 combined points, the first and third quarters were scoreless. In fact, not a single point was scored until 26:55 into the game. And both teams proceeded to score a combined 24 points in the final 3:05 in the first half. What a head spinner!

Speaking of head spinning, the halftime show is best known for Janet Jackson’s wardrobe malfunction where Justin Timberlake tugged on her top and she exposed her breast to the world on live TV. Speaking of the halftime show, it’s too bad we only remember Janet Jackson because the entire show was a collaboration that also included Jessica Simpson, P. Diddy, Kid Rock, and Nelly. Oh, and by the way, Beyonce sang the National Anthem.
It was a crazy night capped off by a last second kick. And, as usual, some guy named Tom Brady won the game’s MVP award. Let’s see how well we remember everything with Trivia on Craig Shemon and Company on ESPN Southwest Florida.

6 NFL Players Who Can Be Traded this Offseason
The NFL season is in the books (for most of the teams anyway). Teams will get their coaching staffs in order first, then it’s on to improving the roster. That can be through the draft, free agency, or trades. It’s always tough to forecast what players sign or get drafted by a certain team. Identifying players who can be traded this offseason is more difficult. Identifying the team that will trade for them… you’re throwing darts at a dartboard. If anyone says the saw AJ Brown getting traded to the Eagles in 2021, they’re either super tied in or lying. The point is, identifying players who can be traded this offseason is a tall task. But I think this will be a busy offseason for big named players moving on to different teams.
Last offseason there weren’t a ton of big names getting delt. But go back to the 2022 offseason and it was fast and furious. It was the offseason of wide receivers on the move; Tyreek Hill to Miami, Davante Adam to Las Vegas, and the aforementioned AJ Brown move to Philadelphia. Going into the 2024 offseason it feels like there are some big named players that could be delt. Teams are always looking to retool on the fly. And expiring contracts are a great asset to have to acquire future or immediate returns. Players could also be looking for a move in search of a new contract or to get on a team that is closer to winning it all. Here’s who I’ve identified.
