The New England Patriots will face off against the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl LX, and while the team has enjoyed a strong 2025 campaign, many folks are predicting they will get pummeled in this game. That group includes popular sports commentator Max Kellerman, who immediately disrespected New England after this matchup was set. The Patriots surprised everyone by rattling off a 14-3 record in the regular season to win the AFC East division.

Jayson Tatum’s lengthy visit with The Pivot podcast delivered a treasure trove of headlines. The part that stuck out most to us: Tatum displaying a heavy dose of self-awareness while admitting he’s been thinking a lot lately about how his return might impact a Boston Celtics team that has been entrenched near the top of the East standings for much of the 2025-26 season. He also seemed to offer a rare hint about the timing of an in-season return. At one point, Tatum noted, “If or when I do come back this season, they would have played 50 some-odd games…

The Los Angeles Rams fell short of the Super Bowl this season despite boasting one of the NFL’s best quarterbacks and one of the league’s most dangerous offenses. It makes sense that LA might look to bolster their defense this offseason with a big move. That’s probably why Bleacher Report’s Kristopher Knox just listed the Rams as the top landing spot for cornerback Marlon Humphrey.  Knox believes Humphrey’s trade value is something like a 2026 4th-round pick and a conditional 2027 6th-round pick. “Humphrey’s future shouldn’t be heavily impacted by the 2026 draft,” Knox wrote on Monday. “However, his future…
