Colin Cowherd made an embarrassing gaffe during a segment discussing the Seattle Seahawks’ postseason hopes in 2023 Tuesday.
Cowherd was attempting to make the case that, despite having an elite coach in Pete Carroll and good young players, he couldn’t picture Geno Smith beating the likes of Joe Burrow and Patrick Mahomes en route to an AFC Championship. The only problem: The Seahawks play in the NFC, not the AFC.

Jets owner Woody Johnson made an appearance in the latest episode of HBO’s Hard Knocks, which aired Tuesday night, and made waves for his bejeweled chain that he unveiled to the team.
In a team meeting, Johnson stood at the front of the assembly and unzipped his jacket to reveal a studded “Woody and the Jets” chain. Johnson’s chain gave an obvious ode to Elton John’s 1973 hit “Bennie and the Jets.”
The Jets players began hollering and clapping when Johnson revealed his new piece of jewelry.

Arkansas head football coach Sam Pittman might not get a lot of downtime as the leader of an SEC football program, but he still has dreams of what a perfect off-day would entail.
Heading into a season full of expectations with returning quarterback KJ Jefferson and stud running back Raheim ‘Rocket’ Sanders, the Razorbacks are primed to cause problems in the SEC West.
