It might be the offseason but the NFL Draft will be here in no time. I compiled the Consensus Big Board a few weeks ago to get primed for draft season. Which prospect is underrated in this class? Read here: www.nytimes.com/athletic/698...

The Seahawks finished at the top of my model’s rankings by a full point over the Rams. Those two are clear the next best tier of teams by two full points. The Super Bowl was the NFC Championship game.

Super Bowl 60 Recap: The Seahawks' defense dominated the Patriots by winning on early downs and turning that into a dominant performance on late downs. The Patriots couldn't find a run game, as expected, and didn't have the answers to overcome. Graphic per rbsdm

I’m glad Jay Harbaugh is getting some love tonight. Has been a great special teams coach for some time now.

You can’t give Super Bowl MVP to an entire defense but they’re the real MVP tonight. They’ve been the best defense, in my opinion, all year. They showed it tonight.

This Seattle defense is incredible. What a performance tonight and what a performance all season.

The Seahawks are about to enter The Witching Hour.

I think we can all agree that kicking the extra point was a horrible decision by Mike Vrabel, right?

I really thought we’d see the Patriots go quick game and screens. A bit puzzled by the plan tonight.

I know coaches in the NFL get very conservative if they’re not on the plus side of the 50 but I’m not sure how Mike Vrabel punted there. He’s been very good on fourth down this year…not so much there.

How many field goals does Jason Myers need to overtake Kenneth Walker III for Super Bowl MVP?

I’m not familiar with Bad Bunny’s music but the production of the halftime show looked legit and overall it looked like a good time.

The Seattle special teams unit showing out again tonight. Been one of the best units all year in all areas.

That’s a ridiculous play by Christian Gonzalez.

Patriots got into 2nd and long and 3rd and long and Macdonald got exotic and they had no chance.

Boy oh boy Darnold has to make sure that ball isn’t long!

My final Super Bowl 60 thoughts: I think Seattle has gotten a little pricey in this market but who am I to tell the Super Bowl market is inefficient? Anyway, the key to this game is the Patriots success on early downs.

I think it’s absurd that Justin Herbert got a first place MVP vote and that’s getting a lot of traction and deservedly so… But how did Christian McCaffrey finished fourth?

College Football 2026 Recruiting Class Valuations - USC finishes on top by a healthy margin - The SEC was shutout of the Top-5 - Oregon signed four 5-stars but took a smaller class to land 5th, interesting strategy?

Nice day for some college hockey

Two weeks of Drake Maye injury discourse! Should be fun.

Mike Macdonald and Klint Kubiak playing to win the game on this drive. Impressive stuff.

It rarely gets talked about but if the Rams went for two earlier, there is a chance they could kick a field goal and tie there. Instead, they had to go for it just like if they would have failed to convert the two point try. This is why you go for it as early as possible.

Somewhat disappointed that Stafford fourth down conversion won’t be remembered.

That’s a rough two reps for Woolen.

Special teams matters! Seahawks have been the one of the league’s best all year.

This version of Kenneth Walker III showing up has Mike Macdonald having flashbacks to Michigan/Michigan State in 2021.

3rd and long and Stafford looks uncomfortable and they settle for a field goal.

Man, what a route and catch by Puka. Witherspoon had no chance.

Biggest key for this game is the Rams offense on early downs. They’re incredible on early downs while the Seahawks are incredible on third and medium or longer. If the Rams can get into third and short, they’ll find success.

Field goal is probably the right call there. I’m not sure how the weather affects things…that’s a hard problem to quantify! But the message is that taking the points is never a guarantee.

Take the points crowd is in shambles.

Stidham not going down and forcing the Patriots to use their timeout is huge now after the Broncos missed a field goal.

Saw some posts saying 10 points was enough for the Broncos to win this game and that's why you kick the field goal. How confident we feel about that now?

A lot of take the points takes AFTER the failure to convert. Going to assume those aren’t there if they convert.

It looked like the Broncos OL didn’t have the right call there? That or they chose not to block.

The Patriots have now played the three best defenses on their schedule by quite a margin in the playoffs and they’ve looked lost for seven out of the nine quarters.

Some women’s hockey action tonight.

Great hire for Baltimore. Minter is a star and it’s completely unfair that he goes from utilizing Derwin James Jr. to now Kyle Hamilton. Should be fun to watch him turn that defense around in Baltimore.

I haven’t updated this in a bit but Miami adds the third highest-valued class out of high school and just grabbed Damon Wilson out of the portal. Assuming Mensah comes, how high is Miami’s ceiling next year?

Consensus Big Board Top-50 for the 226 NFL Draft is out! - Fernando Mendoza is QB1 and I’m not sure QB2 is settled. - Caleb Downs and Jeremiyah Love are firmly Top-5 players in this class Read here: @theathletic.com www.nytimes.com/athletic/698...

I was going to be super bullish on the Chargers with Slater and Alt back on the field. Now you add McDaniel as OC? Sheesh.

IUP mentioned during the national championship.

I don't know what the final three games of the NFL season will bring us but this has been one of the best months of football that I can remember in some time.

I’m not sure you’ll see anything like the last two years of Indiana football. What a run.
