Jimmy Fallon has brought his “Superlatives” schtick to the sports world before, with some truly funny segments on the NHL Playoffs, the Super Bowl, the NBA All-Star Game and more.
Well on Thursday, to honor the onset of the new NFL season, The Tonight Show added a new twist to Superlatives, asking football players to read their own deeply insulting superlatives.

Some of these are pretty good.
The latest
- Could NFL see next Saudi sportswashing controversy?
- ESPN and NBA have reportedly ‘essentially come to terms’ on deal that would keep Finals on ABC
- G/O Media sells The Onion to ‘Global Tetrahedron,’ ex-NBC reporter Ben Collins to serve as CEO
- Eli Gold on Alabama exit: ‘You can’t argue with city hall.’
Having the players themselves read their own superlatives was a nice twist, but as a result the superlatives weren’t as brutal as past rounds have been (Chris Bosh as”Most athletic Voldemort” is hilarious). In fact, many of them were kind of compliments.
Anyway, superlatives isn’t quiiite on the level of Jimmy Kimmel’s “mean tweets” segment, but it’s pretty good.
