I bet on Josh Dobbs to win Super Bowl MVP

I got a massive bet on the Patriots. I also put a bet on Josh Dobbs to win Super Bowl MVP. The New England Patriot, big time Patriot.

Josh Dobbs is the backup for Drake May on the 2025-26 Patriots. Winning MVP as a backup requires a historic injury or benching mid-game.

A Patriots loss in Super Bowl 60 would make them the 'LeBron James of the NFL' for having the most losses ever

If we lose this one, that's the most Super Bowl losses of any franchise ever. That'll put us number one... It would be the LeBron James of the NFL if we lost these the Super Bowl today... he's lost a lot of championships. Same thing.

The Patriots and Broncos are currently tied with 5 Super Bowl losses each. A loss in SB 60 would move the Patriots to a record 6 losses.

The Arizona Cardinals head coaching job is a bad one to take

Obviously you take a job if it's offered to you, but that seems like a not great job to take. Because it's a, well, number one, it's the Cardinals. Number two, they don't really have a plan at quarterback at all. Number three, every other coach in your division rocks.

The Cardinals' success under Mike LaFleur is yet to be determined, though the NFC West remains one of the toughest divisions in the league.

Kwesi Adofo-Mensah was fired because Sam Darnold is playing in the Super Bowl and JJ McCarthy is not

The fact that Sam Darnold is currently playing in the Super Bowl is a problem. Correct. And the report was that the paternity leave thing happened two years ago... I think that when he does get fired, then other people around the league immediately go back to the one thing they know him for, which is this weirdo took two weeks off work.

The causality of the firing is subjective, but the fact that Darnold is starting SB 60 for the Seahawks after leaving the Vikings is the primary context for the firing.

The Jets are spreading fake rumors about Drake May because they are sad

People are making up Photoshops. They're trying to create false, false narratives. Jets fans are, are, are making up rumors that are not football related about Drake. It's nonsense. It's sad. It's absolute nonsense. It's rubbish.

This is a claim about fan behavior and online rumors which is subjective to the 'truth' of the rumors.

Giannis Antetokounmpo might be traded to the Chicago Bulls this week

Second [favorite to land Giannis] is Chicago Bulls at plus three ten... the rumors of him to the Bulls have always kind of been there being like, he loves Milwaukee so much that he's not gonna leave living in Milwaukee and commute. Which he could do, but it would be the most ridiculous thing ever.

Giannis Antetokounmpo remained with the Milwaukee Bucks past the 2026 trade deadline.

Sam Darnold was never the problem during his tenure with the Jets

I said, can I just say one thing to you? There are a lot of people in New York rooting for you. Parentheses. I didn't say it. But he got it. Like, he goes, it's nice for you to say. I said, no, no, I grew up at Shea Stadium... They figured out you're not the problem.

Darnold's performance leading the 2025 Seahawks to the Super Bowl provides strong retrospective evidence for this opinion.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba has the best body language of any receiver I've ever seen

You'll find that fascinating. It's, Sam never heard a quarterback say it. He's got the best body language of any receiver that I've ever seen. Body language. Well, that's usually something said in a singles bar.

This is a qualitative scouting opinion from a veteran broadcaster.

Bill Belichick is an obvious Hall of Famer and the voters look foolish for his snub

They look pretty foolish... I had my speech half written for Bill. Not that I'm sitting there writing it in January... 11 people [voting against him] is a lot. It's a lot of people. I understand. Willie Mays wasn't unanimous... but duh. He's in... Oh God yes. [He should be in the Hall].

While the vote is subjective, Belichick is widely considered one of the greatest coaches ever, making his exclusion highly controversial.

The Seahawks will beat the Patriots 26-17 in Super Bowl 60

I would, I made the spread five... Somewhere in the game there will be a one yard touchdown run by the Seahawks... I had, and we can massage it, 26 17... Seventeens a normal score. I like to make it enough. Three or four. So that opposite... who's covering. I just think Seattle's [going to win].

The outcome of Super Bowl 60 is pending.

The Seattle defense will score a touchdown in Super Bowl 60

I'm thinking, do I really step out and pick a defensive player? Ooh. Do I pick like, okay, they could either force a fumble, get and DeMarcus Lawrence picks it up and goes in. Or does Witherspoon pick six? ... If the Seattle defense scores first... just do it.

Pending the outcome of the game.
