Richard Sherman, Tom Brady combine for the defining photo of Super Bowl XLIX

Joy to heartbreak, exultation to devastation, and vice versa. Super Bowl XLIX had perhaps the sharpest reversal of fortune in NFL history, and in the end, it was two of the teams leading players that provided an indelible image:

Now, at first glance, it appears Brady is completely ignoring Sherman, a nice bit of turnabout from the classic U MAD BRO photo from a couple years back:



U Mad, Bro?

Alas, not so. Brady was merely lost in thought, and soon responded to Sherman, as you can see in the next photo:

And then he stood up to shake the hand of his vanquished rival:

So there you go. Not as good a story as Brady disregarding Sherman, but better sportsmanship.
