Colin Cowherd predicted that Aaron Rodgers would be the Super Bowl MVP?

He backed into it, saying he felt the Packers would edge the Steelers and that the quarterback of the winning team basically always gets the award so by default that would be Rodgers.
I love that Rodgers really stuck it to him. Cowherd tried to make excuses and rationalize every win Rodgers and the Packers came up with this postseason. He said after the Eagles came they only won it because they had a running game (nevermind Rodgers' 120 qb rating and 3 tds). He said the Falcons defense was a joke and tearing them up was easy (they allowed basically the same amount of points as the Bears, it was 1 or 2 more). He ripped on Rodgers for having a bad rating against the Bears.
Now he's talking about how hard it is to get in to the elite quarterback club (like he's the supreme authority on the matter) and be compared to the top guys but at the start of the playoffs he was talking about how Matty Ice* has done nothing but resurrect an Atlanta franchise and be Tom Brady 2.0.
*Ironically, Ice melts in the coldest months of the year in this case.
Good on Rodgers for giving it to him because he absolutely deserved it.
