Tom Brady may have walked away as Super Bowl LI MVP, but many are calling John Goehrke the true hero from this past Sunday.

Around half-time of the big game, John noticed a Tweet from Canadian tennis star, Eugenie Bouchard. With Atlanta having a 21-3 lead, Bouchard stated, "I knew Atlanta would win btw." John tested her confidence, asking her if she would go on a date with him if the Patriots came back and won. "Sure," replied Bouchard. (My earlier blog post broke down the interaction.)

As we all know, the Patriots accomplished the unthinkable, and John's clever wager has landed him a date with one of the world's most attractive athletes. And Bouchard has said she plans to make good on her word and follow through with the date.

I reached out to the kid from Chicago to find out a bit more about him. What went through his mind when Genie took him up on his bet? How many Twitter followers has he gained in the last 48 hours? And does he intend to pay for dinner?

Meet the guy who used 140 characters to land himself the most talked about blind date of 2017.
