# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., slammed Republican Iowa Rep. Steve King on Monday over recent remarks King made about the terms "white nationalist" and "white supremacist," arguing that if the representative "doesn't understand why 'white supremacy' is offensive, he should find another line of work."

"There is no place in the Republican Party, the Congress or the country for an ideology of racial supremacy of any kind," McConnell said. "I have no tolerance for such positions and those who espouse these views are not supporters of American ideals and freedoms. Rep. King's statements are unwelcome and unworthy of his elected position."

King, 69, was already under fire from Republicans for aligning himself with a white nationalist politician and making a series of racially charged remarks when he made the head-turning comment in an interview published last week.

"White nationalist, white supremacist, Western civilization - how did that language become offensive?" King asked The New York Times. "Why did I sit in classes teaching me about the merits of our history and our civilization?"

In a statement after the article was published, King insisted that he rejected what he called the "evil ideology" of white nationalism and supremacy, and reiterated that he considers himself a "nationalist" who supports the values of "Western civilization."
GOP CAMPAIGN BOSS CONDEMNS REP. STEVE KING: 'MUST STAND UP AGAINST WHITE SUPREMACY'
But King has faced criticism over a series of racial remarks.

Last year, he tweeted "culture and demographics are our destiny" and said we "can't restore our civilization with somebody else's babies."

In 2013, he commented that while he has some sympathy for some illegal immigrants, "they aren't all valedictorians, they weren't all brought in by their parents -- for everyone who's a valedictorian, there's another 100 out there who weigh 130 pounds and they've got calves the size of cantaloupes because they're hauling 75 pounds of marijuana across the desert."

McConnell's repudiation of King's remarks comes one day after House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., announced disciplinary action against King. The two met on Monday but didn't immediately comment on what was discussed.

That meeting came just hours after Rep. Bobby Rush, R-Ill., introduced a resolution to censure King.

Censure is one of three formal modes of punishment in the House, falling between a reprimand and expulsion.

Republicans can also remove King from his committee assignments. King, who has served in the House since 2003, sits on several key committees, including the Judiciary and Agriculture committees.

Especially since the opossum got drunk they keep that section of their title short to make it funny. Just saying "gets drunk" is more comedic than gets intoxicated.

The author could have extended the headline to bring clarity to those unaware of how close the Brexit deal is, but through the use of crunch in this instance it’s greatly reduced. The author may not be taking ether sides in this instance as they’re simple reporting on the recent events during the voting process within Parliament.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
President Trump has held out as long as he can on the wall. But now it's time for him to pack it in.

He never really made the sale, except with the 30 percent of hard-core supporters who chanted "Build the Wall!" Or with the band of online yes-men who support everything he does.

For the rest of us, we never quite understood about walls. We aren't engineers. We aren't in the construction business. We don't know walls from fences, and we don't know whether the Border Patrol can do the job without a wall. We have heard arguments both ways.

Mind you, I'm disposed to think that we need a wall. Or a fence. But it isn't the biggest immigration issue out there. What is more important is our crazy legal-immigration system.

Unlike other countries, we don't select immigrants on the basis of whether they would make life better for Americans. If backing merit-based immigration is right wing, then call the Canadians right wing, because that is how they choose newcomers.

But good arguments don't matter when you can't make the sale. The RAISE Act, a merit-based immigration bill introduced in 2017 by Sens. Tom Cotton and David Perdue, never got off the ground, and a new Rasmussen poll suggests most Americans want Trump to yield on the wall. He lost the independent voters in the November congressional elections, and now he's lost them over the shutdown.

November should have sent him the message that we wanted him to chill. We are getting tired of the drama. Instead, Trump doubled down. It's time to reverse course.

Trump is adversarial by nature, and I can sympathize. The media have been unremittingly hostile to him since his inauguration. And the hectoring from NeverTrumpers, including those in the GOP establishment and even the White House, inclines the president to listen to his hard-core supporters.

But that has been a mistake and requires a correction. It is time for him to stop paying attention to people who tell him not to give in. And if they are in the White House, to fire them. They are like British military advisers who didn't want to bring the troops home from Dunkirk. But now it is time for a strategic retreat, to fight again on issues that are winnable.

There is even a way to do it gracefully. The Framers intended that funding bills should come from the House of Representatives, and gave them the power to micromanage appropriations.

They feared what George Mason called an "elective monarch" in the White House, the sort of person who would override the House by declaring an emergency. That is the dismal path toward one-man rule that other presidential governments have followed, and over time it has meant a loss of freedom in those countries.

That was the way Obama governed, bypassing Congress to make up rules on his own. "I've got a pen," he said, and ignored a Republican Congress when it refused to pass an immigration law he wanted. Conservatives faulted him for that, and if we aren't hypocrites, we need to oppose any attempt by Trump to employ emergency powers to build the wall without congressional approval.

Trump should sign the funding bill the House sends him and end the impasse. And in so doing, he should tell us he would be acting in the manner the Framers intended.

He can also say that he has stood up for the American people as long as he could, in the face of Democratic indifference. In their refusal to compromise over any effort to enforce our borders, the Democrats have flipped the bird at Americans. Compared to the people streaming across the border, we don't matter to them.

That was the great issue in the 2016 election. We got the sense that the other Republican candidates were wedded to abstract economic dogmas, and that the Democrats were in bed with a bicoastal elite, and that neither much cared about the steel worker in Pennsylvania.

With Trump, the Republican Party has made a start on shifting course, notwithstanding all the NeverTrumpers. But the Democrats haven't changed a bit. Encouraged by the Trump haters in the media, they have become even more radical and abandoned sensible middle-of-the-road positions that were mainstream for the left just a few years ago.

Their new policies are idiotic and will cost them elections. Trump Republicans need to oppose them - but only within the spirit of the Constitution.

Would Donald Drumpf poll as well?

After a 22-minute segment Sunday on HBO's "Last Week Tonight With John Oliver," many people learned that Donald J. Trump's ancestors were Drumpfs, not Trumps.

"Drumpf is much less magical," Mr. Oliver noted, suggesting that Mr. Trump's opponents begin referring to him by the former family name. Soon enough, the hashtag #MakeDonaldDrumpfAgain lit up social media. And on Super Tuesday, "Donald Drumpf" was the second-most searched candidate name on Google, behind only "Donald Trump," and ahead of "Marco Rubio" and "Ted Cruz," the senators who are two of Mr. Trump's closest competitors in the race.

'Last Week Tonight with John Oliver': Donald Trump

With Mr. Trump's sweeping victories on Tuesday, we surely have not seen the last of the "Drumpf" meme. But even as his critics extend its popularity, some fairness might be in order.

Despite mistaken impressions, Mr. Trump and his recent relatives had nothing to do with the surname change.

Mr. Oliver himself was careful to refer to a "prescient ancestor." Indeed, several centuries have passed since Drumpf evolved into Trump, according to Gwenda Blair, who wrote a biography of Mr. Trump and his family. The Drumpf name appears in tax logs dating to about 1600, and the Trump name first appeared among his ancestors in Germany later that century, she said.

By the time Mr. Trump's grandfather, Friedrich Trump, arrived in New York in 1885 at age 16 with a single suitcase and dreams of wealth, Trump was well-established as the family name, Ms. Blair said. In 1892, Friedrich Trump changed his name to Frederick Trump, a move toward Anglicization that was common among immigrants who hoped to accelerate their assimilation and fend off discrimination.

Immigrants in modern America, however, do not often change their names anymore. In June 2010, only about a half dozen of 500 applications for name changes in New York appeared to be Anglicizing their names, according to a New York Times analysis.

Name changes do remain popular among entertainers. For example, Jon Stewart, whose "Daily Show" is in some ways the parent of Mr. Oliver's HBO program, was born Jonathan Stuart Leibowitz. As Mr. Oliver noted, Mr. Trump once criticized Mr. Stewart for changing his name, tweeting that "he should cherish his past - not run from it."

And many politicians have also undergone name changes, notably two presidents, Bill Clinton, who changed his name from William Jefferson Blythe III, and Gerald Ford, who was born Leslie Lynch King Jr.

Mr. Trump's potential opponent in the general election, Hillary Clinton, long held to her maiden name of Rodham, but she now campaigns without it.

Ms. Blair said the Trump name has been particularly valuable to his brand; think of a "trump card" or a "trump hand" and you're likely to think of having the advantage in a card game.

"It's hard to imagine a more fortunate name to have in business, and particularly for someone whose only goal in life is to be a winner," Ms. Blair said.

In her book, "The Trumps," she wrote, "Whether Donald Trump could have had the same success with any other name is an intriguing question."

Earlier today, police searched the singer's Chicago studio along with the Cook County Building & Zoning Department over speculation that Kellz' used the spot as a residence. The warehouse where his studio is meant for industrial purposes so Chicago PD and the B & Z Department paid a visit after speculation that people may have been living in there (i.e. Kellz alleged sex slaves). After spending an hour at the studio, police and officials have found evidence that could prove this theory.

According to a TMZ report, a spokesperson for the City Of Chicago has confirmed that police and city officials' search of R. Kelly's recording studio was a success. During the search, officials found building code violations that included evidence that the studio was also being for residential purposes. Additionally, they also found that there has been work done inside the studio without any proper permits or authorization. Now, the City of Chicago will file an amended complaint against Kellz for a future court hearing.

Although many speculated that the investigation on his studio was launched due to allegations made in Surviving R. Kelly, that wasn't the case. The singer is currently facing eviction after reportedly owing $166K in back rent.

But Trump won't stop talking about it, taking to Twitter to regurgitate some old claims -- that Mexico will pay for it indirectly and that the military will build it -- and add some new explanations, like that his wall will actually be "artistically designed steel slats."

I feel as if the articles tittle is drawing the reader in by bringing up the TV show that they Magen on Lifetime about the whole situation. With the font of the lettering in the tittle you can see that it’s in bold so people can look at it first then read the article. Under the tittle you see the young women who were apart of the situation to probably draw girls in to read it and actually get more information about the whole situation. I think the writer of the article feels as if R. Jelly was wrong by ysing Thebes word “ Exposes” in the tittle to interpret that what he did was really wrong.

'NO ONE CARED'

The Lifetime docuseries, premiering Jan. 3, features interviews with survivors, friends, and family, who all shed light on the superstar's systemic abuse of (mostly) black girls.

In early December, Lifetime evacuated a screening of the new docuseries Surviving R. Kelly after "several anonymous threats were called in," according to the network. An NYPD spokesperson told CNN that an anonymous call was made, threatening to start shooting inside the theater unless the screening was called off. Andrea Kelly, R. Kelly's ex-wife and a participant in the docuseries, responded to the threats. She told Rolling Stone, "It makes me smile because that lets me know we're on the right track. We're causing people to listen."

On Thursday, Lifetime is premiering the first batch of episodes, and they are every bit as revelatory and explosive as one might expect.

While a number of journalists and activists have worked diligently to unmask R. Kelly and to keep his many alleged crimes in conversation, Surviving R. Kelly is a singular and exhaustive project. It incorporates the voices of survivors, advocates, experts, musicians, reporters and cultural critics, as well as friends and family of R. Kelly. It begins with his childhood, meticulously charting Kelly's career while never losing sight of the young women and girls he systematically and continuously abused. Kelly's behavior is illuminated and analyzed, placed within a larger industry and culture-wide conversation, but never excused. Here, finally, is a humane accounting of an abusive celebrity's life that does not treat their crimes as an asterisk or an afterthought. Instead, we see how R. Kelly the Predator and R. Kelly the Artist evolved alongside one another-the music and influence that helped him to lure young, often underage girls, and the pattern of predation and abuse that was clear to everyone around him.

As the series goes on, it becomes quite clear who R. Kelly is, and what he has done. The only question left for the various interviewees to reckon with is one of complicity. Why did we allow this to go on for so long? And can understanding our collective culpability help to ensure that it never happens again?

Near the beginning of the series, an infamous clip plays from a 2018 Facebook Live session. In it, Kelly addresses the latest wave of backlash against him, shouting out his supporters and blowing off his critics. Surrounded by boisterous supporters, he gloats, "It's too late, they should've did this shit 30 years ago."

While the series opens on survivors, it quickly steps back to start the story someplace else-Chicago, in the 1970s. The docuseries features interviews with Kelly's brothers, Carey and Bruce, who describe him as a shy kid with an obvious musical talent. They both recall being raised around music, by a mother who was the lead singer in their church choir. Kelly struggled with reading and writing, which the kids at school teased him for. When he was a high school student, Kenwood music teacher Lena McLin acted as Kelly's surrogate mother. "He was musically genius material," McLin remembers.

In an August 2012 interview, Kelly spoke about being molested by "people in my family" from the age of 7 until he was 13 or 14. A visibly emotional Carey Kelly explains that, "I don't think that he's lying, because it happened to me." A clinical psychologist speaks broadly to the impact that molestation might have on a child-"Children might want to say, I want to be the one who's in that power position. I never want to be a victim again."

"There's really no more powerful position in a sexual relationship than to be the abuser to the child."

McLin, Kelly's music teacher, recalls that Kelly "was very aggressive in some of his sexual language." Kelly went on to drop out of school his senior year; his music career soon took off. Surviving R. Kelly paints a picture of a serial predator whose power over and access to victims only increased as his fame grew. The series also takes pains to emphasize that Kelly targeted young black women-Kenwood high schoolers and kids who hung out at a Hyde Park McDonalds. The writer Mikki Kendall remembers seeing Kelly at the fast food chain. He would come alone and pick up high school girls. "People will say, well why didn't anyone notice? The answer is that we all noticed. No one cared because we were black girls."

Producer Craig Williams adds that he "heard that [Kelly] was picking up a lot of kids from the school." He thought, "What the hell is he doing hanging around the high school?"

One of the series' strengths is the various levels of trauma it considers-the ripples of Kelly's abuse, and how it continues to affect the people he harmed and those around him. Jovante Cunningham is first introduced as a backup singer and dancer. She met Kelly through a friend in 1991, when she was 14 years old. She started doing background vocals for him in the studio. Cunningham recalls the first time she witnessed a sexual act in the studio, between Kelly and one of her teenage friends. "We were all right there," she emphasizes. "None of us were of age. None of us."

As the series goes on, we come to learn that Cunningham was incredibly close to many of Kelly's underage victims, including Aaliyah. As a young woman herself, Cunningham witnessed Kelly commit statutory rape. At one point, Cunningham starts crying. "We were just trying to make it," she explains. "We had big dreams, and we thought we were gonna be somebody."

R. Kelly met Aaliyah when she was 12 years old. Cunningham describes her as angelic, and explains how R. Kelly molded her visually and artistically. He infamously produced her first album, Age Ain't Nothing but a Number. The title track, written by R.Kelly, includes the lyrics, "Age ain't nothin' but a number... Boy, be brave, don't be afraid / 'Cause tonight we're gonna go all the way." Aaliyah was 14 when she recorded the song. Journalist Kathy Chaney comments, "'Age Ain't Nothin but a Number' is definitely a perfect song for hiding in plain sight." Demetrius Smith, R. Kelly's former tour manager and personal assistant, recalls asking his boss if he was sleeping with Aaliyah. Kelly denied it.

In one of the more shocking moments in the series, Jovante Cunningham shares that she saw Robert "having sex with Aaliyah" on their tour bus. Aaliyah was 15 at that time, making this alleged encounter statutory rape. Asked to elaborate on what she saw, Cunningham replies, "Things that an adult should not be doing with a child."

R. Kelly came to Demetrius Smith and told him that Aaliyah was pregnant. Smith describes being "so disappointed in him," insisting that he had believed Kelly's earlier denial. Smith was in the room when Aaliyah and Kelly got married; he had papers forged for them. On the marriage certificate, the then 15-year-old Aaliyah is listed as 18. Within two months, the marriage was annulled.

With the help of cultural critics, music journalists and fellow artists, Surviving R. Kelly attempts to explicate how R. Kelly's career was able to survive his predatory relationship with Aaliyah. One interesting thread is the theme of underage women in popular music, a recurring lyrical fascination with young girls, and a history of predatory sexual relationships between rock stars and teenagers. The consensus seems to be that fans of R. Kelly's, as well as the mainstream media, were able to compartmentalize him and Aaliyah as an exceptional situation-a special connection between artists, a bond between a mentor and his student. Of course, everyone who was close to Kelly knew that Aaliyah was symptomatic of a pattern: that Kelly surrounded himself with young women, and actively sought them out.

"Jovante Cunningham shares that she saw Robert 'having sex with Aaliyah' on their tour bus. Aaliyah was 15 at that time, making this alleged encounter statutory rape."

"We'd go to the mall in every city," Demetrius Smith explains. It was during one of these mall outings that Kelly met Lizzette Martinez. After she approached the star, he sent a bodyguard to give her his phone number. Kelly subsequently invited Martinez to dinner. Martinez, who had dreams of singing professionally, thought it was her "big break." She was 17. When Kelly leaned over to kiss her after dinner, she "didn't know how to say no."

"I wanted the dream so bad, but I knew it was going to be something else."

Kelly was allegedly physically abusive to Martinez; she recalls him smacking her for looking at someone "that I shouldn't have been looking at," saying, "you're only supposed to be looking at me."

"He told me to perform sexual acts while his friends were in the backseat," Martinez continues. "It was like he owned me." Kelly controlled who Martinez talked to and when she ate; he ordered people to follow her around. "It was just sex and mental and physical abuse," she concludes. "He stole my life from me."

Oronike Odeleye, the co-founder of #MuteRKelly, explained that everyone had heard the rumors about the R&B sensation. But Kelly was charming and kind in person-and what teenage girl wouldn't want to believe that a famous singer was going to make her a star? Producer Craig Williams remembers walking into Kelly's studio and seeing teenage girl after teenage girl. "When I went to another room there was a girl in that room with the lights out, waiting-there was another girl in this lounge over there... What the hell is going on?" Later, Williams confirms, "Around Rob's camp, everyone knew."

Tarana Burke, the founder of the Me Too movement, notes that, "This is really about an adult man who is using the power of his fame and wealth to systematically degrade little black girls."

Martinez says that Kelly never told her he was married.

R. Kelly met Andrea Lee when she was 19, after she landed a job as his backup dancer. "It was actually beautiful in the beginning," Andrea Kelly narrates. "I didn't know about the storm on the horizon." In 1996, Kelly asked her to marry him. "My wedding was a surprise wedding," Kelly explains. "I did not know I was getting married."

As their relationship progressed, Kelly exerted more and more control over his wife; she alludes to some of his abusive behavior towards her, but says that there are certain things she's not willing to talk about, because of "the darkness of it." Crying, she wordlessly confirms the rumors that Kelly would lock her up. She explains how he mercilessly criticized her and undermined her confidence. "If I can just get him back to the good guy..." she remembers thinking. "How do I get back the guy who asked me to help him read?"

The R&B singer Sparkle, another protégée of Kelly's, corroborates that he was a control freak and a "master manipulator." Sparkle eventually introduced Kelly to her 12-year-old niece, who was an aspiring rapper. "I wanted him to do what he was doing for me, for her," she explains. Later on, Sparkle would come to the studio and see her niece there by herself. She remembers thinking, "Something ain't right."

At this point in his career, Kelly was more untouchable than ever. "I Believe I Can Fly" wasn't just a massive hit-"It was a moment of redemption in some people's eyes," music journalist Ann Powers explains. Musician John Legend adds that, "It was just massive." Kelly's hit song played at graduations and church services. How could the man behind that inspirational track be a serial predator?

Lisa Van Allen met R. Kelly when she was 17 and he was 31. After learning how old she was, Kelly immediately asked if her mom would let her come to Chicago. "I didn't assume that he liked younger girls," Van Allen recalls. "At that moment, I just thought that he liked me." After a number of visits, Van Allen ended up staying in Chicago. Kelly controlled who she talked to, and limited her interactions. He ordered her to address him as "Daddy" at all times. "He would say things like, if you love me you won't try to change me," Van Allen explains. "You'll do these things for me."

She describes one incident in which he ordered her to have a threesome with him and a 16-year-old girl, which he then proceeded to film without her consent. Van Allen started crying. "I can't watch this with you on here crying," she remembers Kelly saying. Van Allen says she went on to have sex with that young woman multiple times, at Kelly's direction. Van Allen later learned that Kelly had lied to her, and that these sexual encounters had occurred when the girl was just 14.

Van Allen ultimately went through some of Kelly's tapes and found a recording of her, Kelly, and the young girl. There were other scenes with just Kelly and the young girl. Van Allen stole the tape, and eventually gave it to another individual. When the tape was later anonymously sent to Chicago Sun-Times reporter Jim DeRogatis, Sparkle identified the young victim as her 14-year-old niece.

In 2000, the Chicago Sun-Times ran their first story on the allegations against R. Kelly, uncovering a number of lawsuits and settlements that Kelly had reached with girls as young as 15. Sun-Times reporters say that they immediately started getting calls from other accusers. In 2002, the infamous video was anonymously given to DeRogatis. Sparkle recalls being contacted by the newspaper, and recognizing her niece in the tape: "That was her, for sure. And that was him." R. Kelly denied everything.

Andrea Kelly describes learning about the many allegations against her husband, as well as the lawsuits and settlements. She recalls wondering how Kelly had the time to make music, go on tour, abuse her "and ruin other people's lives," eventually concluding that there had to be a huge network of people helping Kelly pull this off. Sparkle remembers a meeting in which an exec said that he didn't care if it was Kelly in the leaked tape "because we can't afford to lose him." Jovante Cunningham adds a note for these adult enablers: "If you're aware and you're not doing anything, you're just as sick."

In early December, Lifetime evacuated a screening of the new docuseries Surviving R. Kelly after "several anonymous threats were called in," according to the network. An NYPD spokesperson told CNN that an anonymous call was made, threatening to start shooting inside the theater unless the screening was called off. Andrea Kelly, R.

'Surviving R. Kelly' Exposes How the R&B Singer Got Away With Preying on Girls for Decades

'NO ONE CARED' The Lifetime docuseries, premiering Jan. 3, features interviews with survivors, friends, and family, who all shed light on the superstar's systemic abuse of (mostly) black girls. In early December, Lifetime evacuated a screening of the new docuseries Surviving R. Kelly after "several anonymous threats were called in," according to the network.

Once in a life time swimming with a 20 footlong shark. And in their words a “predator”. They are so excited but frightening of the shark because this is a rare occasion. But they also talk about the population of the shark group dying out quickly.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The images will stop you in your tracks - a woman in a wet suit and with a camera swimming side by side with a 20 foot great white shark.

Ocean Ramsey, the marine biologist in Hawaii who swam with the great white shark, said Friday on "Today" that she had no reason to be nervous. Ramsey said sharks like the 8 foot wide one she swam next to on Tuesday, "swim past surfers, swimmers, and divers all day every day."

"It's so rare that they ever make a mistake," she said.

Ramsey has been studying great white sharks for over 10 years, and estimates the shark that became her swimming partner earlier this week weighs in at over two tons. She and her team were studying tiger sharks off the coast of Oahu, documenting the animals' behavior, when they encountered the great white that would have sent most swimmers fearing for their life.

"We never would have imagined we would be fortunate enough to be graced with the presence of this massive, big, beautiful, female white shark" Ramsey said. "It fills my heart with joy and takes my breath away."

The images from the scene are striking, to say the least. They went viral after Ramsey posted them on Instagram. In a video of the encounter, Ramsey is seen holding the shark's fin while they swim in tandem. Seeing Ramsey next to the shark gives you a sense of just how massive the great white is.

Ramsey suspects the shark might be Deep Blue, a great white featured on the infamous show "Shark Week," and is waiting for an species expert to confirm. She also thinks the shark might be pregnant.

Ramsey said she hopes her encounter will inspire others to take action to protect sharks. The World Wildlife fund currently classifies great white sharks are a "vulnerable" species.

"It's just so sad that so many people out around the world seeing her would think monsters and want to kill her because of movies, like Jaws," Ramsey said.

For all the joy the encounter brought her, "it kind of breaks my heart at the same time to be honest," Ramsey said. "Moments like this are increasingly rare because shark populations are being wiped out for shark fin soup and shark finning."

The images will stop you in your tracks - a woman in a wet suit and with a camera swimming side by side with a 20 foot great white shark. Ocean Ramsey, the marine biologist in Hawaii who swam with the great white shark, said Friday on "Today" that she had no reason to be nervous.

The images will stop you in your tracks - a woman in a wet suit and with a camera swimming side by side with a 20 foot great white shark.

Ocean Ramsey, the marine biologist in Hawaii who swam with the great white shark, said Friday on "Today" that she had no reason to be nervous. Ramsey said sharks like the 8 foot wide one she swam next to on Tuesday, "swim past surfers, swimmers, and divers all day every day."

"It's so rare that they ever make a mistake," she said.

Ramsey has been studying great white sharks for over 10 years, and estimates the shark that became her swimming partner earlier this week weighs in at over two tons. She and her team were studying tiger sharks off the coast of Oahu, documenting the animals' behavior, when they encountered the great white that would have sent most swimmers fearing for their life.

"We never would have imagined we would be fortunate enough to be graced with the presence of this massive, big, beautiful, female white shark" Ramsey said. "It fills my heart with joy and takes my breath away."

The images from the scene are striking, to say the least. They went viral after Ramsey posted them on Instagram. In a video of the encounter, Ramsey is seen holding the shark's fin while they swim in tandem. Seeing Ramsey next to the shark gives you a sense of just how massive the great white is.

Ramsey suspects the shark might be Deep Blue, a great white featured on the infamous show "Shark Week," and is waiting for an species expert to confirm. She also thinks the shark might be pregnant.

Ramsey said she hopes her encounter will inspire others to take action to protect sharks. The World Wildlife fund currently classifies great white sharks are a "vulnerable" species.

"It's just so sad that so many people out around the world seeing her would think monsters and want to kill her because of movies, like Jaws," Ramsey said.

For all the joy the encounter brought her, "it kind of breaks my heart at the same time to be honest," Ramsey said. "Moments like this are increasingly rare because shark populations are being wiped out for shark fin soup and shark finning."

The headline of an article from cnn, “Americans don’t like the
Shutdown and blame Trump” is saying or communicating to the audience that a vast majority or above 50% of Americans disagree with the Shutdown and the building of a wall. The article used a poll to explain how the majority feels about the shutdown. It’s not really taking sides of the conflict but it is pointing out how the people feels. I personally was curious about how the majority of the people felt about the shutdown and Trumps actions towards “helping” the situation with immigration.

Burger King ribbed President Donald Trump for misspelling "hamburgers" as "hamberders" in a tweet posted Tuesday morning and later deleted.

Burger King tweeted in response: "due to a large order placed yesterday, we're all out of hamberders. just serving hamburgers today."

Trump ordered food from McDonald's, Wendy's, and Burger King as he hosted the Clemson football team at the White House on Monday to celebrate its national championship.

Burger King on Tuesday ribbed President Donald Trump for misspelling "hamburgers" in a tweet about a banquet of fast food he offered the Clemson Tigers football team on Monday.

Trump's original tweet said: "Great being with the National Champion Clemson Tigers last night at the White House. Because of the Shutdown I served them massive amounts of Fast Food (I paid), over 1000 hamberders etc. Within one hour, it was all gone. Great guys and big eaters!"

Burger King tweeted in response: "due to a large order placed yesterday, we're all out of hamberders. just serving hamburgers today."

Trump's tweet was later deleted and replaced with one that correctly spelled "hamburgers." Here's a screenshot of the earlier one:

Trump ordered food from McDonald's, Wendy's, and Burger King as he hosted the team at the White House to celebrate its national championship.

The spread included about 300 burgers.

"I think we're going to serve McDonald's, Wendy's, and Burger Kings with some pizza," Trump had told reporters outside the White House earlier on Monday. "I really mean it. It'll be interesting. And I would think that's their favorite food. So we'll see what happens."

Crafting a list of the greatest players in Super Bowl history is a near-impossible endeavor. Do you favor the biggest stars? Those who shone brightest on Super Sunday? The ones with a sustained level of excellence? While undertaking this fool's errand, we weighed each consideration, attempting to also make it representative of all positions rather than skew too heavily toward quarterbacks or offensive players who more easily show up in the box score (and MVP log).

With that prologue in mind, here's our list of the 53 greatest players in Super Bowl history:

1. QB Tom Brady: The New England Patriots poster boy has more rings (5) than any other quarterback and more Super Bowl MVPs (4) than anybody. His record eight Super Bowl starts have allowed him to become the game's all-time leader in passes (357), completions (235), yards (2,576) and TDs (18). Brady aired it out for a Super Sunday record 505 yards in last season's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, breaking his mark of 466 set the previous year. But his Super Bowl LI effort may be the most impressive given he orchestrated the greatest comeback in the game's history, leading the Super Bowl's lone overtime drive against Atlanta. And yet ... the book still isn't closed as Super Bowl LIII and the Rams now approach.

2. QB Joe Montana: He's been overtaken in several categories by Brady, who grew up idolizing the man who set the gold standard for Super Bowl quarterback play. Montana went 4-0 on Super Sunday, was named MVP thrice and had 11 TD passes with nary an interception, which explains his remarkable record for passer rating (127.8). And who can forget the methodical, 92-yard TD drive he led - capped by the game-winning throw to John Taylor in the final minute - to win Super Bowl XXIII?

3. WR Jerry Rice: As you'd expect of the "GOAT," he's in a class by himself. He owns Super Bowl career records for receptions (33), receiving yards (589) and TDs (8). No one else has more than three TD catches, a total Rice matched alone in Super Bowl XXIX. His single-game record of 215 receiving yards made him Super Bowl XXIII's MVP.

4. QB Terry Bradshaw: He'll always have his detractors. But it was Bradshaw, not the Pittsburgh Steelers' famed Steel Curtain, who showed the way to victory in Super Bowls XIII and XIV, taking MVP honors in both games. He was the first quarterback with four Lombardi Trophies, and his nine TD strikes trail only Brady and Montana. And what about the toughness factor? Bradshaw threw the game-winning TD pass in Super Bowl X while taking a helmet to the jaw that literally knocked him out.

5. OLB/DE Charles Haley: Count 'em, a record five Super Bowl rings (two with the 49ers, three with the Dallas Cowboys) - a figure matched only by Brady. Since sacks became official in 1982, Haley's 4½ are the most in the Super Bowl record book. He bagged Cincinnati Bengals QB Boomer Esiason twice in Super Bowl XXIII, the Niners' narrowest Super Sunday win.

6. QB Doug Williams: He only played in one Super Bowl (XXII). But all the Washington Redskins star did was prove to any remaining naysayers that a black quarterback could win it all ... while doing it on a hyperextended knee ... while throwing four TD passes in an unreal 35-point second quarter.

7. RB Emmitt Smith: The Super Bowl XXVIII MVP was the Cowboys' closer that night (132 yards, 2 second-half TDs) and again in Super Bowl XXX. Smith's five rushing TDs are a record, and his 289 rushing yards rank third.

8. QB Eli Manning: We're not suggesting he's better than big brother Peyton. But Eli is definitely more deserving of a spot on this list given his heroics in twice winning Super Bowl MVP honors for the New York Giants with some truly miraculous plays in upsets of the Patriots.

9. RB Terrell Davis: In what was arguably the greatest Super Bowl effort by a tailback, he ran for 157 yards and a record-tying three TDs, while combating a migraine, on his way to Super Bowl XXXII MVP honors as the Denver Broncos won their first title. Davis adding 102 rushing yards and 50 more receiving when Denver repeated the next year.

10. QB Joe Namath: He was more game manager than gunslinger on Super Sunday and didn't throw a touchdown in the New York Jets' monumental upset of the Baltimore Colts in Super Bowl III. But Broadway Joe wisely kept calling for effective gainers from his backs while delivering on his epic pregame guarantee and changing the course of pro football history by vanquishing the NFL establishment.

11. K Adam Vinatieri: His 34 Super Bowl points trail only Rice's 48. None were bigger than the pair of game-winning field goals Vinatieri drilled for the Patriots to end Super Bowls XXXVI and XXXVIII. He snagged a fourth ring with the Indianapolis Colts in 2006.

12. QB Bart Starr: The numbers won't wow you - 452 passing yards and three TDs combined over the course of two games - but the steady hand of the Green Bay Packers great also clutched the first two Super Bowl MVPs as a capstone to a legendary dynasty.

13. WR Lynn Swann: He basically built a Hall of Fame career over four Super Sundays. Three of his four catches (totaling 161 yards) in Super Bowl X were of the acrobatic variety, including the game-deciding 64-yard TD in the fourth quarter, which is why Swann was the MVP. His three career TD grabs and 364 yards trail only Rice.

14. QB Steve Young: His six TD passes in the Niners' Super Bowl XXIX victory remain a single-game Super Bowl record. And don't forget, Young collected two more rings as Montana's backup.

15. MLB Jack Lambert: The vampire-toothed man in the middle racked up 46 tackles during Pittsburgh's four victories and famously chucked Cowboys S Cliff Harris after he taunted Steelers K Roy Gerela in Super Bowl X.

16. QB Kurt Warner: With a break here and there, he'd have three championships instead of one. But credit Warner for leading the long woebegone Rams and Cardinals out of the wilderness. And not only did the Super Bowl XXXIV MVP set a then-record with 414 passing yards, his 377 yards in Super Bowl XLIII and 365 in Super Bowl XXXVI give him the three most prolific passing days in the game's history until Brady's explosions in Super Bowls LI and LII.

17. RB Franco Harris: A four-time champion, nearly half of his career record 354 rushing yards came when the Super Bowl IX MVP posted a then-record 158 in the Steelers' first Super Bowl. Harris' four rushing scores trail only Smith.

18. MLB Ray Lewis: He was the villain of the week prior to the game, but Lewis emerged as Super Bowl XXXV's MVP after the dominant 2000 Baltimore Ravens defense shut out the Giants offense. Twelve years later, Lewis collected more bling in his final ride.

19. DE L.C. Greenwood: His four sacks of Dallas QB Roger Staubach in Super Bowl X represent an unofficial record since the NFL didn't recognize sacks until 1982. Same goes for the five career sacks of Greenwood, who started all four of Pittsburgh's victorious Super Sundays in the 1970s.

20. RB Roger Craig: His exclusion in previous iterations of this list was an unfortunate oversight. The Niners' main man in the backfield, Craig earned three rings as one of the original do-it-all backs. He piled up 410 yards and four TDs from scrimmage, both figures good for third place in the Super Bowl record book.

21. OLB Ted Hendricks: He's usually remembered as a Raider, but the first of Hendricks' four Super Bowl wins came with the Baltimore Colts in Super Bowl V. None of the defenses he played on surrendered more than 14 points.

22. WR John Stallworth: Like Swann, his Steelers wingman, he has three Super Bowl TD grabs, two covering more than 70 yards. Stallworth's 73-yard TD from Bradshaw in the fourth quarter of Super Bowl XIV broke the backs of the plucky Los Angeles Rams.

23. RB Larry Csonka: The workhorse for the Miami Dolphins, including the 17-0 1972 team, his 297 rushing yards in three games are second only to Harris. Csonka scored twice and had a then-record 145 yards to net Super Bowl VIII honors and had 112 yards the previous year when Miami capped its perfect season.

24. QB Phil Simms: He threw 25 passes in Super Bowl XXI, and only three hit the ground. Pretty high bar as the MVP led the Giants to the first of their four Lombardi Trophies.

25. S Jake Scott: His pair of interceptions, including the game-clincher, put a bow on the Dolphins' perfect season and brought him Super Bowl VII's MVP.

26. OLB Rod Martin: The only man to pick off three passes in one Super Bowl - Martin thrice victimized the Eagles' Ron Jaworski in Super Bowl XV - he got one ring when the Raiders were in Oakland and another after they moved to L.A.

27. DT Joe Greene: No one embodies the Steel Curtain Steelers more than Mean Joe, who started all four Super Bowls in the 1970s.

28. CB Malcolm Butler: He was an undrafted rookie no-name when he made arguably the clutchest of all Super Bowl plays by undercutting Seattle Seahawks WR Ricardo Lockette's route at the goal line to intercept Russell Wilson's pass and turn what seemed near certain defeat into the Patriots' fourth title. Butler will never be a no-name the rest of his life ... though he did garner unwanted attention for essentially being benched by Bill Belichick in Super Bowl LII, a decision that surely seemed to backfire on New England.

29. OLB Chuck Howley: He's the only man to win the MVP award despite playing for the losing side when the Cowboys fell in Super Bowl V. Howley, who established the Super Bowl career record with three INTs, won his ring the following year.

30. DT Manny Fernandez: He had a remarkable 17 tackles and one sack - unofficial totals - in the Dolphins' Super Bowl VII win and almost certainly should have been named the MVP.

31. CB Ty Law: His 47-yard pick six off Warner in Super Bowl XXXVI helped chart the course for New England's dynastic run. Law wound up winning three championships with the Patriots.

32. DT Justin Tuck: His contributions typically get overshadowed in the Giants' dual victories over New England. But Tuck was Brady's personal nemesis, sacking him twice in each game.

33. G Gene Upshaw: The Oakland Raiders stalwart played in three Super Bowls, each in a different decade. In Super Bowls XI and XV, he teamed with fellow Hall of Famer Art Shell - they formed probably the best left side of any O-line in history - to embarrass both the Minnesota Vikings' famed Purple People Eaters and Eagles defense as the Silver & Black won their first two titles.

34. CB Mel Blount: The Steelers' super-sized corner collected a pair of Super Bowl picks and four rings.

35. CB Deion Sanders: The original shutdown corner went back-to-back with the 49ers and Cowboys in Super Bowls XXIX and XXX, respectively. Sanders picked off a pass for San Francisco, and the Steelers' unwillingness to test him the following year was a big reason Super Bowl XXX MVP Larry Brown snagged two picks.

36. DE Richard Dent: A rare defender who won the Super Bowl MVP, Dent was picked as the guy from the vaunted '85 Bears defense to take the hardware home after registering 1½ sacks and two forced fumbles in Super Bowl XX.

37. DE Reggie White: Maybe the greatest defensive end to ever play the game, he set the official Super Bowl record with three sacks of Drew Bledsoe in the Packers' Super Bowl XXXI victory.

38. DB Ronnie Lott: The tone-setting defender of the 49ers' great teams started at both cornerback and safety on his way to four championships.

39. T Joe Jacoby: He was one of only two Hogs to start on the offensive line in all three of the Redskins' Super Bowl wins. RBs John Riggins (166 rushing yards in Super Bowl XVII) and Timmy Smith (204 yards in Super Bowl XXII) both had record days running behind Jacoby and Co.

40. OLB Mike Vrabel: One of the consummate Patriots, he played in four Super Bowls and wound up with three rings. He also racked up 16 tackles, three sacks, a forced fumble ... and two TDs on two receptions while lining up as a tight end in goal-line packages. Not bad.

41. OLB James Harrison: He picked up a pair of Lombardis in three trips with the Steelers. He also left his imprint with an unforgettable 100-yard INT return off a Warner misfire - producing at least a 10-point swing - In Pittsburgh's 27-23 victory over the Cardinals in Super Bowl XLIII.

42. WR Max McGee: Love this guy. After a long night of partying on the eve of the first Super Bowl - McGee thought he'd be warming the pine for the Packers - he stepped in for injured Boyd Dowler and scored again. Despite being less than 100 percent, McGee caught seven passes for 138 yards and two scores, one a behind-the-back snare.

43. C Mike Webster: Another four-time Steelers champ, he was a throwback who also handled long-snapping duties.

44. RB James White: Compelling case to be made that White, not Brady, should have been Super Bowl LI's MVP. White set single-game records with 14 receptions and 20 points (he scored 3 TDs and a key 2-point conversion in New England's comeback). White's 2-yard TD run in overtime provided the winning margin against Atlanta. He added another 66 yards from scrimmage and a TD against Philadelphia the next year.

45. OLB Lawrence Taylor: He never notched a Super sack, but we're not leaving the two-time champion and greatest pass-rushing linebacker ever off the all-time team.

46. CB Dwight Smith: He had a pair of pick sixes (covering 94 yards) in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' Super Bowl XXXVII beatdown of the Raiders.

47. KR/WR Jacoby Jones: He gets the nod over Super Bowl XXXI MVP Desmond Howard as our return ace. Jones had a strong case to be the Ravens' Super Bowl XLVII MVP after posting a single-game record 290 all-purpose yards, which included a record 108-yard TD on the opening kickoff of the second half. And that was after he ended the first half with his only catch of the game - a 56-yard TD.

48. TE Rob Gronkowski: No tight end has ever taken over a Super Bowl, but Gronk came close against the Eagles, finishing with nine receptions, 116 yards and a pair of scores in the losing effort. His impact in New England's Super Bowl XLIX victory went beyond six catches for 68 yards and a TD as he thoroughly occupied the attention of the Seahawks. And despite playing on a bum ankle that would require surgery after the game, Gronkowski nearly corralled what would have been a game-winning Hail Mary on the final play of Super Bowl XLVI. Gronk is the only tight end with three Super Bowl TD grabs and shares the record for total catches (17) with Jay Novacek.

49. OL Randy Cross: Had to give the linemen a little more love. Cross was a Pro Bowl guard for the 49ers' first two title teams and moved to center for their third Super Bowl win, which happened to be his final NFL game.

50. LB Mike Jones: A journeyman who would have receded into NFL anonymity had he not seized his Super Bowl moment by making a game-ending, title-saving tackle of Tennessee Titans WR Kevin Dyson just shy of the goal-line (and a game-tying TD) in the Rams' only Super Bowl victory to date.

51. P Thomas Morstead: He's always been a fine punter. But it was the perfectly executed onside kick by the New Orleans Saints kickoff specialist to start the second half of Super Bowl XLIV that minted him as a legend in The Big Easy.

52. T Anthony Munoz: He might be the best offensive lineman in league history. He's also the only Hall of Famer who's played his entire career as a Bengal. Munoz is the lone player on this list who didn't experience a Super Bowl win, but the Bengals almost surely don't reach their pair of near-miss losses to the 49ers without him.

53. QB Troy Aikman: He captained the '90s Cowboys to three titles and was named MVP for the first one in Super Bowl XXVII after throwing for 273 yards and four TDs. Aikman's 70 percent completion rate in his three appearances makes him the most accurate Super Sunday passer.

His record eight Super Bowl starts have allowed him to become the game's all-time leader in passes (357), completions (235), yards (2,576) and TDs (18). Brady aired it out for a Super Sunday record 505 yards in last season's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, breaking his mark of 466 set the previous year. But his Super Bowl LI effort may be the most impressive given he orchestrated the greatest comeback in the game's history, leading the Super Bowl's lone overtime drive against Atlanta. And yet ... the book still isn't closed as Super Bowl LIII and the Rams now approach.

2. QB Joe Montana: He's been overtaken in several categories by Brady, who grew up idolizing the man who set the gold standard for Super Bowl quarterback play. Montana went 4-0 on Super Sunday, was named MVP thrice and had 11 TD passes with nary an interception, which explains his remarkable record for passer rating (127.8). And who can forget the methodical, 92-yard TD drive he led - capped by the game-winning throw to John Taylor in the final minute - to win Super Bowl XXIII?

3. WR Jerry Rice: As you'd expect of the "GOAT," he's in a class by himself. He owns Super Bowl career records for receptions (33), receiving yards (589) and TDs (8). No one else has more than three TD catches, a total Rice matched alone in Super Bowl XXIX. His single-game record of 215 receiving yards made him Super Bowl XXIII's MVP.

4. QB Terry Bradshaw: He'll always have his detractors. But it was Bradshaw, not the Pittsburgh Steelers' famed Steel Curtain, who showed the way to victory in Super Bowls XIII and XIV, taking MVP honors in both games. He was the first quarterback with four Lombardi Trophies, and his nine TD strikes trail only Brady and Montana. And what about the toughness factor? Bradshaw threw the game-winning TD pass in Super Bowl X while taking a helmet to the jaw that literally knocked him out.

5. OLB/DE Charles Haley: Count 'em, a record five Super Bowl rings (two with the 49ers, three with the Dallas Cowboys) - a figure matched only by Brady. Since sacks became official in 1982, Haley's 4½ are the most in the Super Bowl record book. He bagged Cincinnati Bengals QB Boomer Esiason twice in Super Bowl XXIII, the Niners' narrowest Super Sunday win.

6. QB Doug Williams: He only played in one Super Bowl (XXII). But all the Washington Redskins star did was prove to any remaining naysayers that a black quarterback could win it all ... while doing it on a hyperextended knee ... while throwing four TD passes in an unreal 35-point second quarter.

7. RB Emmitt Smith: The Super Bowl XXVIII MVP was the Cowboys' closer that night (132 yards, 2 second-half TDs) and again in Super Bowl XXX. Smith's five rushing TDs are a record, and his 289 rushing yards rank third.

8. QB Eli Manning: We're not suggesting he's better than big brother Peyton. But Eli is definitely more deserving of a spot on this list given his heroics in twice winning Super Bowl MVP honors for the New York Giants with some truly miraculous plays in upsets of the Patriots.

9. RB Terrell Davis: In what was arguably the greatest Super Bowl effort by a tailback, he ran for 157 yards and a record-tying three TDs, while combating a migraine, on his way to Super Bowl XXXII MVP honors as the Denver Broncos won their first title. Davis adding 102 rushing yards and 50 more receiving when Denver repeated the next year.

10. QB Joe Namath: He was more game manager than gunslinger on Super Sunday and didn't throw a touchdown in the New York Jets' monumental upset of the Baltimore Colts in Super Bowl III. But Broadway Joe wisely kept calling for effective gainers from his backs while delivering on his epic pregame guarantee and changing the course of pro football history by vanquishing the NFL establishment.

11. K Adam Vinatieri: His 34 Super Bowl points trail only Rice's 48. None were bigger than the pair of game-winning field goals Vinatieri drilled for the Patriots to end Super Bowls XXXVI and XXXVIII. He snagged a fourth ring with the Indianapolis Colts in 2006.

12. QB Bart Starr: The numbers won't wow you - 452 passing yards and three TDs combined over the course of two games - but the steady hand of the Green Bay Packers great also clutched the first two Super Bowl MVPs as a capstone to a legendary dynasty.

13. WR Lynn Swann: He basically built a Hall of Fame career over four Super Sundays. Three of his four catches (totaling 161 yards) in Super Bowl X were of the acrobatic variety, including the game-deciding 64-yard TD in the fourth quarter, which is why Swann was the MVP. His three career TD grabs and 364 yards trail only Rice.

14. QB Steve Young: His six TD passes in the Niners' Super Bowl XXIX victory remain a single-game Super Bowl record. And don't forget, Young collected two more rings as Montana's backup.

15. MLB Jack Lambert: The vampire-toothed man in the middle racked up 46 tackles during Pittsburgh's four victories and famously chucked Cowboys S Cliff Harris after he taunted Steelers K Roy Gerela in Super Bowl X.

16. QB Kurt Warner: With a break here and there, he'd have three championships instead of one. But credit Warner for leading the long woebegone Rams and Cardinals out of the wilderness. And not only did the Super Bowl XXXIV MVP set a then-record with 414 passing yards, his 377 yards in Super Bowl XLIII and 365 in Super Bowl XXXVI give him the three most prolific passing days in the game's history until Brady's explosions in Super Bowls LI and LII.

17. RB Franco Harris: A four-time champion, nearly half of his career record 354 rushing yards came when the Super Bowl IX MVP posted a then-record 158 in the Steelers' first Super Bowl. Harris' four rushing scores trail only Smith.

18. MLB Ray Lewis: He was the villain of the week prior to the game, but Lewis emerged as Super Bowl XXXV's MVP after the dominant 2000 Baltimore Ravens defense shut out the Giants offense. Twelve years later, Lewis collected more bling in his final ride.

19. DE L.C. Greenwood: His four sacks of Dallas QB Roger Staubach in Super Bowl X represent an unofficial record since the NFL didn't recognize sacks until 1982. Same goes for the five career sacks of Greenwood, who started all four of Pittsburgh's victorious Super Sundays in the 1970s.

20. RB Roger Craig: His exclusion in previous iterations of this list was an unfortunate oversight. The Niners' main man in the backfield, Craig earned three rings as one of the original do-it-all backs. He piled up 410 yards and four TDs from scrimmage, both figures good for third place in the Super Bowl record book.

21. OLB Ted Hendricks: He's usually remembered as a Raider, but the first of Hendricks' four Super Bowl wins came with the Baltimore Colts in Super Bowl V. None of the defenses he played on surrendered more than 14 points.

22. WR John Stallworth: Like Swann, his Steelers wingman, he has three Super Bowl TD grabs, two covering more than 70 yards. Stallworth's 73-yard TD from Bradshaw in the fourth quarter of Super Bowl XIV broke the backs of the plucky Los Angeles Rams.

23. RB Larry Csonka: The workhorse for the Miami Dolphins, including the 17-0 1972 team, his 297 rushing yards in three games are second only to Harris. Csonka scored twice and had a then-record 145 yards to net Super Bowl VIII honors and had 112 yards the previous year when Miami capped its perfect season.

24. QB Phil Simms: He threw 25 passes in Super Bowl XXI, and only three hit the ground. Pretty high bar as the MVP led the Giants to the first of their four Lombardi Trophies.

25. S Jake Scott: His pair of interceptions, including the game-clincher, put a bow on the Dolphins' perfect season and brought him Super Bowl VII's MVP.

26. OLB Rod Martin: The only man to pick off three passes in one Super Bowl - Martin thrice victimized the Eagles' Ron Jaworski in Super Bowl XV - he got one ring when the Raiders were in Oakland and another after they moved to L.A.

27. DT Joe Greene: No one embodies the Steel Curtain Steelers more than Mean Joe, who started all four Super Bowls in the 1970s.

28. CB Malcolm Butler: He was an undrafted rookie no-name when he made arguably the clutchest of all Super Bowl plays by undercutting Seattle Seahawks WR Ricardo Lockette's route at the goal line to intercept Russell Wilson's pass and turn what seemed near certain defeat into the Patriots' fourth title. Butler will never be a no-name the rest of his life ... though he did garner unwanted attention for essentially being benched by Bill Belichick in Super Bowl LII, a decision that surely seemed to backfire on New England.

29. OLB Chuck Howley: He's the only man to win the MVP award despite playing for the losing side when the Cowboys fell in Super Bowl V. Howley, who established the Super Bowl career record with three INTs, won his ring the following year.

30. DT Manny Fernandez: He had a remarkable 17 tackles and one sack - unofficial totals - in the Dolphins' Super Bowl VII win and almost certainly should have been named the MVP.

31. CB Ty Law: His 47-yard pick six off Warner in Super Bowl XXXVI helped chart the course for New England's dynastic run. Law wound up winning three championships with the Patriots.

32. DT Justin Tuck: His contributions typically get overshadowed in the Giants' dual victories over New England. But Tuck was Brady's personal nemesis, sacking him twice in each game.

33. G Gene Upshaw: The Oakland Raiders stalwart played in three Super Bowls, each in a different decade. In Super Bowls XI and XV, he teamed with fellow Hall of Famer Art Shell - they formed probably the best left side of any O-line in history - to embarrass both the Minnesota Vikings' famed Purple People Eaters and Eagles defense as the Silver & Black won their first two titles.

34. CB Mel Blount: The Steelers' super-sized corner collected a pair of Super Bowl picks and four rings.

35. CB Deion Sanders: The original shutdown corner went back-to-back with the 49ers and Cowboys in Super Bowls XXIX and XXX, respectively. Sanders picked off a pass for San Francisco, and the Steelers' unwillingness to test him the following year was a big reason Super Bowl XXX MVP Larry Brown snagged two picks.

36. DE Richard Dent: A rare defender who won the Super Bowl MVP, Dent was picked as the guy from the vaunted '85 Bears defense to take the hardware home after registering 1½ sacks and two forced fumbles in Super Bowl XX.

37. DE Reggie White: Maybe the greatest defensive end to ever play the game, he set the official Super Bowl record with three sacks of Drew Bledsoe in the Packers' Super Bowl XXXI victory.

38. DB Ronnie Lott: The tone-setting defender of the 49ers' great teams started at both cornerback and safety on his way to four championships.

39. T Joe Jacoby: He was one of only two Hogs to start on the offensive line in all three of the Redskins' Super Bowl wins. RBs John Riggins (166 rushing yards in Super Bowl XVII) and Timmy Smith (204 yards in Super Bowl XXII) both had record days running behind Jacoby and Co.

40. OLB Mike Vrabel: One of the consummate Patriots, he played in four Super Bowls and wound up with three rings. He also racked up 16 tackles, three sacks, a forced fumble ... and two TDs on two receptions while lining up as a tight end in goal-line packages. Not bad.

41. OLB James Harrison: He picked up a pair of Lombardis in three trips with the Steelers. He also left his imprint with an unforgettable 100-yard INT return off a Warner misfire - producing at least a 10-point swing - In Pittsburgh's 27-23 victory over the Cardinals in Super Bowl XLIII.

42. WR Max McGee: Love this guy. After a long night of partying on the eve of the first Super Bowl - McGee thought he'd be warming the pine for the Packers - he stepped in for injured Boyd Dowler and scored again. Despite being less than 100 percent, McGee caught seven passes for 138 yards and two scores, one a behind-the-back snare.

43. C Mike Webster: Another four-time Steelers champ, he was a throwback who also handled long-snapping duties.

44. RB James White: Compelling case to be made that White, not Brady, should have been Super Bowl LI's MVP. White set single-game records with 14 receptions and 20 points (he scored 3 TDs and a key 2-point conversion in New England's comeback). White's 2-yard TD run in overtime provided the winning margin against Atlanta. He added another 66 yards from scrimmage and a TD against Philadelphia the next year.

45. OLB Lawrence Taylor: He never notched a Super sack, but we're not leaving the two-time champion and greatest pass-rushing linebacker ever off the all-time team.

46. CB Dwight Smith: He had a pair of pick sixes (covering 94 yards) in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' Super Bowl XXXVII beatdown of the Raiders.

47. KR/WR Jacoby Jones: He gets the nod over Super Bowl XXXI MVP Desmond Howard as our return ace. Jones had a strong case to be the Ravens' Super Bowl XLVII MVP after posting a single-game record 290 all-purpose yards, which included a record 108-yard TD on the opening kickoff of the second half. And that was after he ended the first half with his only catch of the game - a 56-yard TD.

48. TE Rob Gronkowski: No tight end has ever taken over a Super Bowl, but Gronk came close against the Eagles, finishing with nine receptions, 116 yards and a pair of scores in the losing effort. His impact in New England's Super Bowl XLIX victory went beyond six catches for 68 yards and a TD as he thoroughly occupied the attention of the Seahawks. And despite playing on a bum ankle that would require surgery after the game, Gronkowski nearly corralled what would have been a game-winning Hail Mary on the final play of Super Bowl XLVI. Gronk is the only tight end with three Super Bowl TD grabs and shares the record for total catches (17) with Jay Novacek.

49. OL Randy Cross: Had to give the linemen a little more love. Cross was a Pro Bowl guard for the 49ers' first two title teams and moved to center for their third Super Bowl win, which happened to be his final NFL game.

50. LB Mike Jones: A journeyman who would have receded into NFL anonymity had he not seized his Super Bowl moment by making a game-ending, title-saving tackle of Tennessee Titans WR Kevin Dyson just shy of the goal-line (and a game-tying TD) in the Rams' only Super Bowl victory to date.

51. P Thomas Morstead: He's always been a fine punter. But it was the perfectly executed onside kick by the New Orleans Saints kickoff specialist to start the second half of Super Bowl XLIV that minted him as a legend in The Big Easy.

52. T Anthony Munoz: He might be the best offensive lineman in league history. He's also the only Hall of Famer who's played his entire career as a Bengal. Munoz is the lone player on this list who didn't experience a Super Bowl win, but the Bengals almost surely don't reach their pair of near-miss losses to the 49ers without him.

53. QB Troy Aikman: He captained the '90s Cowboys to three titles and was named MVP for the first one in Super Bowl XXVII after throwing for 273 yards and four TDs. Aikman's 70 percent completion rate in his three appearances makes him the most accurate Super Sunday passer.
