Super Bowl 53 was the worst Super Bowl I've ever watched

That was the worst Super Bowl. I think we can all agree the worst Super Bowl we've ever watched. [It] just wasn't well played. Like, it was compelling because it was close late... but it just was gross.

Subjective opinion on entertainment value.

Super Bowl 48 was a worse game than Super Bowl 53

I would say the worst Super Bowl that I've ever watched is probably the Denver-Seahawks Super Bowl. But that was just because it was a blowout from the very start.

Subjective ranking of game quality.

Todd Gurley is definitely injured despite his denials

Todd Gurley was, I think he's hurt. He denies that he's hurt, but I'm pretty sure that he was—there's something wrong with him. He's getting the Steph Curry benefit. But then even C.J. Anderson didn't play any better at all. So it was like, yeah, the offense for Los Angeles sucked.

It was later revealed Gurley had chronic knee issues (arthritis) that essentially ended his prime.

The Bengals, not the Browns, are likely to blame for the botched AJ McCarron trade paperwork

I don't think [the Browns] screwed this up, interestingly enough... I think I am a little bit on Team Cleveland. So what I heard was that one of the sides, I think it was the Bengals, sent in the signatures, sent in the paper, the trade slip, before both signatures were on it, and neither side realized until it was too late.

The league rejected the trade because the Browns didn't notify them until after the deadline, though the exact internal clerical failure remains a point of dispute between the two teams.

Bill Belichick spearheaded the Jimmy Garoppolo trade and wasn't forced into it by Robert Kraft

What I was told was that this is definitely Belichick running the show here... this was a trade that Belichick took on himself... I think it is really Belichick kind of spearheading it.

This remains one of the most debated topics in Patriots history. Subsequent reporting by Seth Wickersham and others suggested Kraft did have a role in the decision to keep Brady and move Jimmy, though Belichick executed the deal.

Adam Gase traded Jay Ajayi primarily to send a message to a locker room that wasn't on his page

Adam Gase definitely [traded Jay Ajayi to send a message], but it's more than that, actually, because Gase and Ajayi were not on the same page at all... relationship never really got better. So it was more like, this is untenable. I need to send a message. I'm going to get value for this guy.

The fallout between Gase and Ajayi was well-documented, and Ajayi's immediate success in Philly contrasted with Miami's offensive struggles, supporting the idea it was a culture-first move.
