Summary
Stefan Fatsis, Josh Levin, and Slate’s Ben Mathis-Lilley discuss the Patriots’ putrid Super Bowl win over the Rams. The Ringer’s Bryan Curtis also joins to assess Tony Romo’s performance. Finally, they critique the Knicks’ Kristaps Porzingis trade.
Super Bowl (1:32): It was a bad game. Very bad. How did the defenses muck things up in such an offense-dominated season?
Tony Romo (21:21): The CBS star didn’t have much great material to work with. Did he shine anyway?
Porzingis (39:23): Ben says the Knicks’ move to deal their best player was “fandom-destroying.” Some smart analysts disagree. Who’s right?
Afterballs (52:55): Stefan on Chip Oliver and Josh on “left, right, left, right, sit down!”
