Sean McVay’s sudden greatness might have fans taking him for granted, according to a well-known ESPN broadcaster.
Sage Steele joined Big Game Bound: Live from Atlanta on Wednesday to discuss all things related to the matchup between the Los Angeles Rams and New England Patriots, with Steele marveling at what the Rams head coach has accomplished in recent seasons.
“His energy, I’d run through a wall for that guy,” said Steele, talking about McVay. “I love what he brings [to the Rams] and you can see that his guys have completely bought in.”
Steele says chatter revolving around McVay’s age, 33, might be overshadowing his sudden rise to the league’s coaching elite.
“I think we’re probably taking for granted how talented he really is.”

NEXSTAR (ATLANTA) — If there’s a topic that generates just as much debate as who’s favored to win the Big Game, it’s the performer who best rocked the house during the Super Bowl Halftime Show.
On Wednesday’s episode of Big Game Bound: Live from Atlanta, Anthony “AC” Calhoun, J.B. Biunno and special guest Sage Steele, who anchors SportsCenter for ESPN, listed their favorite halftime performers ever. They also took to social media to gauge responses from viewers online, who most commonly said Michael Jackson, Prince, Bruno Mars and Beyonce.
Steele chose Bruno Mars, who’s been part of the show twice in recent years, performing as the headliner in 2014 and returning as a co-feature with Beyonce in 2016.
Calhoun answered simply with a year, saying “1993,” in reference to Michael Jackson’s performance, which is largely considered to be the most transformative show to date. Calhoun talked about Jackson’s entrance, in which he paused for an extended period of time to the roar of the crowd.
Biunno went with another popular choice in Prince, claiming no one else could’ve using a rain storm to their advantage like the late musician did. Prince famously played in torrential rain, culminating with his hit “Purple Rain” during the show in 2007.

“I’ve never had more appreciation for [Brady] based on what he’s done, how he’s done it,” Steele told Calhoun, who know each other from WISH-TV in Indianapolis.
“Anytime anything comes his way adversity-wise, ‘Deflate-gate,’ you name it, what does he do? He says, take that. And he does it at an even more impressive level.”
Steele believes Brady’s clutch performance in overtime in the AFC Championship Game against the Chiefs provides even further proof of his dominance.
“He, to me, is the GOAT. Period,” said Steele.
