Whenever Super Bowl Weekend rolls along on the sporting calendar, it's as if it is the only thing that matters in the sports world on the first weekend in February. It's the most popular sport in the United States, this country's biggest one-day event, one of the world's biggest sports leagues, and the intersection of sports, pop culture and all that represents America all rolled into that first Sunday of the second month of the year. But those who are into the broader world at large in athletic competition know that the NFL Championship Game is just one event in a slew of those that take place around the wide world of sports.
Right now, the NBA and NHL are nearing the halfway points of their shortened seasons as well as European football as the Champions League's knockout stages kick off shortly, while the year's first Grand Slam tennis tournament is taking place down under in Australia - and today saw the biggest race in NASCAR, the Daytona 500, take place in Florida. Soon, NCAA March Madness will be upon us as college sports' biggest event returns, plus golf hitting its stride in the 2021 portion of its "Super Season," Major League Baseball starting up Spring Training, and a number of other big events - most of which didn't take place during last year's unprecedented sporting shutdown, which allowed MTV's The Challenge and Total Madness to take center stage during the quarantine period.
But on the horizon, the focus will turn to two of the world's most important sporting events, for which one member of the cast of the current season of Double Agents knows so very well. And while the focus was on Tom Brady's Buccaneers facing Patrick Mahomes' Chiefs in Tampa, over in Europe that agent achieved something so big that, had it not been for the GOAT winning his seventh Super Bowl, this would've been THE big sports story of last weekend. And if not for the link it has to what's called the fifth major pro sport, than this would not have made a blip on the radar, which channels the general interest outside of the fortnight of the events that make up the world's most famous five-ring circus.
