“I Read the Script” – Denny Hamlin Forced to Defend Himself After Calling NFL Fans “Dumb” in Super Bowl Prediction Gone Wrong

Seems like Denny Hamlin had to take the L after all. The 23XI Racing co-owner had made a prediction before the Super Bowl that it’d be the Eagles who would trump the Chiefs. Of course, that didn’t turn out to be the case as the Chiefs won.

But the thing that stood out about Hamlin’s prediction wasn’t his pick. Rather, it was the reason he picked the Eagles.

“I think the Eagles got the easiest route to the Super Bowl of any team out there,” Hamlin said of the Philadelphia Eagles. “Kansas City, everybody’s in the world like Kansas City. I believe that the public is dumb.”

Denny Hamlin’s “public is dumb” opinion sees him get trolled by a fan

Given the fact that the Chiefs won the Super Bowl against Hamlin’s prediction and that he had called the public dumb, the driver got trolled by a fan on Twitter.

“If the public is dumb for thinking the chiefs were going to win, then what does that make Denny Hamlin?” read the fan’s comment.

But this wasn’t over yet, as the Joe Gibbs Racing driver had a response with which he attempted to have the last word.

“I read the script. Took KC 1 hour before game time. That equals cash. (Public took Philly NOT Kc),” Hamlin replied.

“It’s good,” Denny Hamlin said about things at Joe Gibbs Racing after the departure of Kyle Busch at the end of 2022. But instead of dwelling on the absence of Busch from the team, the veteran driver chose to highlight the positives in the team at the moment as well as what lies ahead.

“I think Christopher Bell is really doing a good job of showing his talents and he’s really taken the next step over the last few years,” Hamlin said.

The veteran claimed JGR is “in good hands” both in the short term, with him and Martin Truex Jr, and in the long term, with Christopher Bell and Ty Gibbs.

But do you think Joe Gibbs Racing is in the process of rebuilding toward a better, more reliable future? Or is Hamlin mistaken?
