This was probably the best storyline scenario for the NFL. LA is back in the Superbowl, when they desperately needed to drum up interest in that city. Brady gets to go out the way he came in: a Super Bowl against the Rams.
I get that there were good storylines no matter who won the conference games, but this was probably the best. Not that I'm a conspiracy guy, but it does make me wonder sometimes. This level of sustained success (9 Super Bowls, 13 conference championship appearances - including 8 straight - across 18 seasons) is just so beyond ridiculous. Especially in an era of free agency, constant change and supposed parity.
I'd almost be bored with that consistency if I were a Pats fan.

The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
