Aaron Donald had NFL fans in awe with his shirtless flex at the Rams’ championship parade

Aaron Donald’s bicep is probably as big as your head at this point

Everyone is talking about whether Aaron Donald might retire or not after winning his first Super Bowl with the Los Angeles Rams.

To be quite frank, I don’t want to hear about none of that right now. All I’m interested in is figuring out what this man’s workout routine is because this dude is absolutely jacked.

Donald gave us his best J.R. Smith impression at the Rams’ championship parade on Wednesday. He went shirtless to start the celebration off and — quite literally — flexed on all of us with all 36 of his abs.

It was totally ridiculous. Like, how is a person actually this big but also this built? This is unfair.

Man. This dude is 300 pounds with a six-pack? Unreal. And I’m pretty sure his bicep is as big as my head at this point. And I’ve got a pretty big head.

NFL fans were floored by this dude. Can’t say I blame them.

NFL fans begged the Bengals to get a better offensive line after learning Joe Burrow played the Super Bowl with a sprained MCL

The Bengals HAVE to do a better job protecting Joe Burrow

Joe Burrow handled himself quite well in the Super Bowl for a third-year quarterback who was playing in the game for the first time ever.

He went 22-33 while throwing for 263 yards and a single touchdown. Those aren’t eye-popping numbers, but he kept the mistakes down against a tough Rams defense and gave the Bengals a real shot to win.

But it ain’t really too much any quarterback can do when they drop back and get sacked 7 (seven!!!) times in one game. That’s just not possible.

Clearly, that’s what happened to Burrow. And those sacks apparently led to him getting a sprained MCL at some point during the game, according to head coach Zac Taylor.

This man was on a sprained MCL, y’all. That’s insane. Fans were practically begging the Bengals to make some offensive line upgrades.

Matt Stafford shared the sweetest moment with his daughters after winning the Super Bowl

Just call him Dad Stafford from now on.

Every week we see these athletes in the NFL pull off some superhuman feats with incredible throws, catches, and tackles that 99% of the population on earth wouldn’t be able to do.

The Super Bowl is the biggest stage where we see that. It’s where their light shines the most. It’s where the best of the best in the world show off their skill. And Matthew Stafford did that on Sunday with the Rams when they won the Super Bowl against the Bengals.

But underneath all of that, they’re just regular human beings. They’ve got families they love and that love them back.

And Stafford? Yes, he’s officially a Super Bowl winning quarterback with the Los Angeles Rams. But to his daughters? He’s just their dad. And that’s awesome.

We caught a glimpse of him in dad mode after the game with his family and it was the sweetest thing in the world.

Fans thought it was the cutest thing ever.

A timeline of Odell Beckham’s incredible journey from scrutinized Giants receiver to Super Bowl champion with Rams

It’s been quite the ride.

Odell Beckham Jr. was overcome with emotions when the Los Angeles Rams clinched their Super Bowl victory over the Cincinnati Bengals.

After contributing early but being knocked out of the game in the second quarter, the wide receiver was helpless to the ebbs and flows that led up to their eventual victory. Once the clock hit zero and it was clear he’d be getting fitted for a ring soon, the wide receiver couldn’t hold back the tears.

“This is everything I’ve ever dreamed of, you know,” he told CBS Sports. “And there was a moment I was in the back room and they told me I was done, I couldn’t play. And I had to come back out there and be a part of this because it’s so much bigger than myself. And these boys pulled through and made it happen.”

Early in his career, Beckham’s desire to win often showed itself in ways that drew harsh criticism. He often stated his passion for winning as a reason for different perceived transgressions, but in the moment that was rarely the conversation around the once embattled receiver.

Now, in his third career stop and not without a little controversy in between, Beckham has created a new conversation. This is a timeline of events that led up to him becoming a Super Bowl champion.

 

The Super Bowl bets that cost the most money, including Mattress Mack’s giant loss

That’s a lot of cheddar.

The dust has settled after an incredible Super Bowl between the Los Angeles Rams and Cincinnati Bengals, bringing a clearer picture of the damage done to the collective wallets of sports bettors and books alike.

The majority of Super Bowl bets were small wagers that won’t cost either side much, but then there were the big bets sure to make someone a lot of money while creating a sizable hole for the other side.

For Tipico Sportsbook, bettors lost the most money picking the Rams against a 4.5-point spread, as the Rams ended up winning by just three—meaning a 4.5/5.0 favorite is still yet to beat the spread in the Super Bowl. 

There were 10 bets of more than $1,000 each on the Rams -4.5. And the largest individual bet on Tipico was $50,000.

Bettors also lost money on the Bengals first half moneyline. While Cincinnati did eventually pull ahead in the third quarter, the team trailed throughout the entire first half and went into the break down 13-10.

Where bettors won the most money is picking the under on Bengals running back Joe Mixon’s receiving yards. He finished well under a line of 26.5 yards, turning five receptions into a single yard.

One of the biggest wins across other sportsbooks, as tracked by Action Network, was a $2.1 million bet on the Rams moneyline. Another bettor waged $1.05 million on a Rams win. Those wins fall well short of the biggest losses, however, as the popular Mattress Mack placed separate bets of $5 million and $4.5 million on the Bengals moneyline for a combined loss of $9.5 million. 

One of the more painful losses may be the bettor who correctly predicted a Rams win but missed the spread by one point, putting $1.57 million on the Rams -4. Two other million-dollar bets won, with one bettor picking the Rams to cover -2.5 in the first half and the other getting plus odds on the Rams to cover -0.5 in the first quarter.

Cooper Kupp caps all-time great season with Super Bowl MVP award

Kupp had the third-best odds for MVP.

Cooper Kupp was named MVP of Super Bowl 56 as his Los Angeles Rams defeated the Cincinnati Bengals 23-20.

Kupp had +600 odds for the award per Tipico Sportsbook, the best of any non-quarterback in the game. The wide receiver finished with eight catches for 92 yards and two touchdowns, including the go-ahead score with less than two minutes to go.

Kupp likely beat out teammate Aaron Donald (+1300) for the award. Donald had four tackles, two sacks, three QB hits, and an impact beyond the box score as he took on several double teams throughout the game. Quarterback Matthew Stafford (+100) entered the game with the best odds for the award, but threw two interceptions in the game to go with 283 yards and three touchdowns.

For Kupp, the award caps one of the all-time great seasons for a receiver. He finished the year with the receiving triple-crown, racking up 145 receptions, 1,947 yards and 16 touchdowns.

The Bengals won’t soon forget this questionable pass interference call after Super Bowl loss

Brutal call in that moment.

When the Cincinnati Bengals look back at their Super Bowl loss to the Los Angeles Rams, several plays will stand out where they could have done something different to get better results. But the one play that may stand out the most is the one where they appeared to do everything right.

On a Rams third-and-goal from the 8-yard line, with under two minutes to play and Cincy protecting a 20-16 lead, Bengals linebacker Logan Wilson was flagged for pass interference on a throw from Matthew Stafford to Cooper Kupp.

The only problem is he appeared to play the ball perfectly.

There was certainly contact on the play, but it didn’t look like Wilson held Kupp or stopped his momentum in any way. What he did was jump in front of him and deflect the pass, just as it was arriving.

Had the play stood, the Rams would have faced a fourth down, needing to get into the end zone.

 

 

The automatic first down on the pass interference call put the Rams in possession to eventually score the go-ahead touchdown.

That play was far from the only determining factor in the outcome of the game. Cincinnati did get another possession and failed to move into position for a game-tying field goal. But it certainly helped the Rams grab a late lead and do something they mostly struggled to do throughout the game, score touchdowns.

It’s a play that’s sure to linger in the minds of the Bengals and their fans.

Odell Beckham Jr. cried tears of joy after winning his first Super Bowl ring and fans were thrilled

Odell Beckham Jr. finally has his first Super Bowl ring.

It has been a long time coming for Odell Beckham Jr., man.

He goes from being the best receiver in New York with the Giants to tearing his ACL and then being jettisoned into football purgatory with the Cleveland Browns.

He makes his way out of Cleveland via trade and finds himself on a star-studded Los Angeles Rams roster with a great chance to win a Super Bowl ring.

And he does it. He finally does it. The Rams won the Super Bowl.

But even then, in this single game, both bliss and chaos were there for Beckham. He scored the game’s first touchdown and seemed to be on his way to having a great game. Then he gets injured midway through the game and doesn’t return.

But the Rams still got it done. They won. And Beckham absolutely lost it. He got so emotional on the sideline after the win.

He got some love from Von Miller, too.

What an incredible moment for Odell. Fans were so happy for him.

50 Cent paid homage to an old MTV video with his surprise performance for the Super Bowl Halftime Show

What. A. Halftime show.

This was one of the most fun Super Bowl halftime performances I can remember.

First of all, anytime you get Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Mary J. Blige and Kendrick Lamar on the same stage it’s going to be an incredible show. Oh, and Eminem, too.

But the show immediately took a left turn when 50 Cent seemingly popped up out of nowhere to perform “In Da Club” as part of the Super Bowl’s first-ever hip-hop halftime show.

And it wasn’t even that he just appeared, y’all. This man appeared on the ceiling of a room like he was in the original video. It was absolutely bonkers. What an entrance.

In the OG G-Unit tank top, too?!? Nah, take me back to 2003 fam. This was excellent. Fans were so hype. They said my guy came in like Spider-Man.
