Morning Briefing: Ndamukong Suh needs a better dictionary

Patriots receiver Julian Edelman was named MVP of the Super Bowl, but not everyone on the Rams is convinced he had a good game.

Rams defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh thinks Edelman was a non-factor in the game.

“He’s an elite player, plays hard, found some holes in our defense in the first half and pretty much the third quarter,” Suh told Brighton, Mass., radio station WEEI. “In my opinion, just thinking back, we eliminated him, even though he got yardages. We just have to not allow points to get on the board and give our offense more opportunities to score.”

Suh has a funny definition of the word “eliminated” if he thinks 10 catches for 141 yards is eliminated. As Inigo Montoya might say, “You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.”

Odds on favorite

Is it too soon to start thinking about the 2020 Super Bowl? And might I add, if the 2020 Super Bowl isn’t sponsored by LensCrafters, then someone at the company has made a big mistake.

The odds for the 2020 Super Bowl are here, and the favorites are … not the Patriots or Rams.

The Kansas City Chiefs are the favorites at 6-1 in the Las Vegas SuperBook. Next are the Patriots, Rams and New Orleans Saints at 8-1.

The Chargers, Pittsburgh Steelers and Chicago Bears are at 14-1, with the Cleveland Browns at 20-1.

The longest odds? Miami, at 100-1. Strangely enough, the 2020 Super Bowl is to be played in Miami, so everyone on the Dolphins should at least be able to get a ticket.
