Why the MVP Vote Went Sideways — and Why Matthew Stafford Still Got It Right

Hotel-room chaos, MVP outrage, and a no-nonsense breakdown of why “value” isn’t an excuse for getting it wrong

Recording late Thursday night from a cramped San Francisco hotel room — complete with identical “chairs,” near run-ins with housekeeping, and zero Super Bowl buzz — That Football Show dives headfirst into the most polarizing conversation of NFL Honors week: the MVP vote.

Matthew Stafford wins the award, but not without controversy. One Justin Herbert vote sparks a full-blown debate about what “Most Valuable Player” is actually supposed to mean — and whether voters are overthinking themselves into the wrong answer.

The guys break down why Stafford was the clear MVP, why Herbert (and Josh Allen) had no business near the top of the ballot, and why “doing more with less” isn’t the same as being the best player in football.

Along the way, the conversation hits Patriots whining, Sam Monson’s viral explanation, bad offensive lines, bad logic, and why transparency in awards voting actually matters. It’s opinionated, honest, and unapologetically blunt — exactly what Super Bowl week analysis should sound like when the Chiefs aren’t involved.

If you want clarity instead of spin, this episode is must-watch.
