I’ve been into NFL football more lately, but I still love my college games. One huge college game is on the way on Nov. 25, with the Michigan Wolverines taking on the Ohio State Buckeyes. I’m a Michigan State University grad, but I still get the massive nature of this rivalry. The game is in Ann Arbor, so I’m making a note to avoid the city that day, since traffic will be insane. Regardless, the Wolverines have a big fan in a graduate from there. Tom Brady is defending the Michigan Wolverines in their Ohio State matchup.

In fact, Brady is so sure Michigan will that he’s betting one of his Super Bowl rings. But, that’s not the whole story.

The University of Michigan album and seven-time champion made a bet with former Buckeyes star C.J. Stroud this week on his “Let’s Go!” podcast, putting his “ring” on the Wolverines. But, he was quick to backtrack. “So,” Brady said to Stroud on the show, “if Ohio State wins…how about this, you get one of my Super Bowl rings.” Woah! But, then, Brady made it clear that he was just joking. He added, “And if Michigan beats Ohio State, then you got to give me all your youth, your agility, your time in the 40 and all your future years in the NFL.”

Stroud had fun with it, saying, “All right, that’s a bet. That’s a bet.” But, then he also said, “I’m not going to take your Super Bowl rings, Tom! I’m not going to lie. That’s yours, bro, I want to get my own.” What a fun exchange.

The big Michigan vs. Ohio State matchup is set for noon. Both teams are playing some of their best football this year, so the world will be watching this one. Next year’s game, if you’re interested, will be Nov. 30 at Ohio State, according to the Big 10 schedule.

5 Hottest Personalities in the NFL Right Now

  • Patrick Mahomes

    Patrick Mahomes, of course, is the star quarterback of the Kansas City Chiefs. He’s considered the best quarterback of his era and possibly the next Tom Brady. But, aside from his skills, he also has a big personality. He has more than 6 million Instagram followers, and he posts a bunch of stuff up there, from football material to family photos.

  • Travis Kelce

    Travis Kelce, the celebrated tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, is pretty much the most famous guy in football this season. Yes, it’s because of his relationship with Taylor Swift. I hate to make that a reason to have him named one of the best personalities in the NFL, but heck, even without the Taylor factor, Kelce has a huge personality that people love.

  • Dan Campbell

    All eyes are on Dan Campbell this season, as the Lions all pulling off some incredible things. That’s not common for the Detroit Lions, either. But, Campbell has some of the wackiest ideas and quotes, and that makes him loveable. Remember that time he wanted a pet Lion at practices? I love this dude.

  • Bill Belichick

    Bill Belichick needs no introduction, but we’ll introduce him anyway. He’s the former head coach and general manager of the New England Patriots. He’s had some rough years as of late, but nothing can take away his glimmering record. Belichick just tells it like it is. He’s incredible with strategies, and that really stands out with his coaching.

  • Jalen Hurts

    Jalen Hurts, the star quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles, is something of a hero on the field. But, off the field, he’s known for his deep, insightful comments that show he has wisdom beyond his years. He’s a major contender and personality.
