On Thursday\u2019s edition of The Herd, Cowherd added to that lengthy track record when misremembering the legacy of the New England Patriots organization.<\/p>\n<p>Cowherd discussed the recent changes to the NBA CBA last offseason on Thursday\u2019s show, which have <a href=\"https:\/\/sports.betmgm.com\/en\/blog\/nba\/what-is-the-second-apron-explanation-nba-bm06\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">implemented heavy penalties<\/a> for teams exceeding the luxury tax and entering the newly established first and second aprons. This has forced teams to move on from players with big contracts, even if they remain productive players on the team.<\/p>\n<p>The Boston Celtics organization recently\u00a0demonstrated the significant impact of the new CBA rules on their thought process, trading former All-Stars Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis, moves that were<a href=\"https:\/\/awfulannouncing.com\/nba\/celtics-analysts-blast-cba-changes-apron-restrictions.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">\u00a0seemingly made in part to shed salary<\/a> and avoid\u00a0the second apron.<\/p>\n<p>The new rules were seemingly implemented to create more parity in the NBA and allow small-market teams a better chance to compete against big-market teams. According to Cowherd, the new changes will make the NBA a lot more like the NFL, where it is tough to repeat as champions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think the NBA is gonna look more like the NFL,\u201d said Cowherd. \u201cWhere it is virtually impossible\u2026 Nobody wins three in a row. It\u2019s almost impossible. Not even Brady and Belichick won back-to-back. The NFL, you can\u2019t win back-to-backs. You have to move off people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Neither one of these boneheads is aware that the Patriots won back-to-back Super Bowls. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Sw2L9fKNAT\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/Sw2L9fKNAT<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Funhouse (@BackAftaThis) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BackAftaThis\/status\/1938318048303436059?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">June 26, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The one massive error in Cowherd\u2019s point, which is common knowledge to most NFL fans, is that the Patriots did indeed repeat as champions in 2003 and 2004, the second and third Super Bowls in the Brady-Belichick dynasty.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, Cowherd also seems to be forgetting that the Kansas City Chiefs just won back-to-back Super Bowls in 2023 and 2024. So, while the task is obviously no easy feat, it is far from the \u201cimpossible\u201d one he is making it out to be.<\/p>\n<p>We have only had nine NFL teams repeat as Super Bowl champions the following year, most of which came before the 21st century. So there\u2019s a valid concern in Cowherd\u2019s point. But his example wasn\u2019t well thought out, to say the least\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\t<script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Colin Cowherd has a rather lengthy track record of sharing inaccuracies during his nearly decade-long stint as host&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":162682,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2050],"tags":[3851,6405,7,1167,249,2326,2094,6,208,8833,1369],"class_list":{"0":"post-162681","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-england-patriots","8":"tag-bill-belichick","9":"tag-colin-cowherd","10":"tag-football","11":"tag-new-england","12":"tag-new-england-patriots","13":"tag-newengland","14":"tag-newenglandpatriots","15":"tag-nfl","16":"tag-patriots","17":"tag-the-herd","18":"tag-tom-brady"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/162681","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=162681"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/162681\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/162682"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=162681"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=162681"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=162681"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
