Copied!
TAMPA, Fla. Almost apologetically, they note that Steve Spagnuolo, their beloved former defensive coordinator, will be on the other sideline Sunday. In nearly any other circumstance, against any other opponent, that would mean these former players would be unabashed and unconflicted fans of the Kansas City Chiefs for Super Bowl LV. They had, after all, won a Super Bowl with Spagnuolo and his NASCAR defense in the 2007 season and then the New York Giants used the NASCAR to batter Tom Brady again to win a second Super Bowl in 2011. Spags versus Brady again with another Lombardi Trophy on the line? That s an easy choice for a bunch of former Giants.
