Halftime show reviews and politics

Jacob and the crew tear apart Super Bowl LX from every angle — how the Seattle Seahawks dominated the New England Patriots 29–13, the defensive masterclass that suffocated rookie QB Drake Maye, and how Kenneth Walker III emerged as the game’s MVP for the first time by a running back in decades. We break down the key plays, the Patriots’ offensive struggles, Jason Myers’ record-setting five field goals, and all the big storylines your timeline is talking about today.

Then it’s onto the NFL MVP controversy — Matthew Stafford beat out Drake Maye by the closest margin in years for the 2025 AP MVP award, and the fallout online and in the league has been wild. We react to why the vote was so tight, what the pundits and fans are saying, and how this award feels totally separate from Super Bowl narratives yet is dominating conversations.

Hosts & Guests: Jacob Gramegna is joined by professional sports bettor and CEO of The Hammer, Rob Pizzola, basketball originator Kirk Evans, and sophisticated square Geoff Fienberg for hot takes, hot mic moments, and season-defining reactions you don’t want to miss.

📅 New episodes of Circle Back every Monday at 1pm ET and Friday at 8am ET. Plus, watch for additional content every Wednesday, ranging from interviews with industry experts to instructional videos!
