Jason defines Super Bowl 60 as the worst in NFL history. A boring, one-sided game was made worse by Bud Bunny and overall lack of enthusiasm, and Maria Taylor's hosting proved every bit as atrocious as Drake Maye's play. The most intriguing aspect of the Super Bowl broadcast was the emasculation of Tony Dungy by Rodney Harrison, after Dungy failed to comment on the omission of Bill Belichick from the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Steve Kim joins the show to discuss whether the Super Bowl has peaked; Drake Maye being exposed; and Randy Moss' claim that players and coaches should be the ones casting Hall of Fame ballots. Jason and Steve wind up by talking about Deion Sanders continuing to demand that the media play the role of Luca Brasi defending his son Shedeur and Shannon Sharpe starting the process of returning to Bristol, teaming up with Stephen A. Smith to ignite the smoldering flame of "First Take." ​​Today's Sponsors: ZBoitics ZBiotics Pre-Alcohol Probiotic Drink is the world's first genetically engineered probiotic.
