There’s no denying that New England Patriots Tight End Martellus Bennett was a crucial part of the team’s come-from-behind stunning victory last night in Super Bowl LI; after all, the 29-year-old hauled in five catches for 62 yards, including one third down grab in the fourth quarter for 25 yards with his team down 28-9. And today, Bennett is walking on air, celebrating his first championship in a career that has already spanned four teams.

Obama loved it because he was addicted to celebrity and didn't want to do the job anyway, but it got way out of hand.
