Dan thought he was done, but somehow the Eagles have persevered. Saquon has given that locker room an injection of talent. Saquon has the most value in the league. He has elevated a guy like AJ Brown! Who will be the MVP of the Super Bowl? Can Hurts win a Super Bowl? Celtics talk. It did not seem like the Celtics led the entire game. This game was not close at all. They are 16-10 at home? Hart thought they could go undefeated at home… Now he questions their contender status. What is going on with Jayson Tatum? It looks difficult for them to play defense.
