• 2:03
  I got a little donation thing going on as well. Feel free. And we talking football.
• 2:08
  348. It is Super Bowl LX. In other words, Super Bowl 60.
• 2:13
  Do not ask the question. I don't even want to go there. Like,
• 2:16
  why do they use Roman numerals? You know, it's sour. It's a little, you know.
• 2:21
  You know, it's not the only sport. It's not the only place they use the Roman.
• 2:24
  You know, West Romania does the same thing.
• 2:27
  For the most part, it is LX. Super Bowl 60 between the New England Patriots,
• 2:33
  who are 14-3, or finish the record at 14-3, versus the Seattle Seahawks at 14-3.
• 2:41
  And again, I'm not going to do it like a Seahawk, because there's no such thing as a Seahawk.
• 2:45
  Maybe if it was an Eagle, you'd be like, ee, ee, ee, ee. But because it's a bird, I don't even know.
• 2:50
  It's a Seahawk. It's a hog that gets in the sea.
• 2:53
  And then Patriots, self-explanatory, the team is from New England area,
• 2:58
  You know, Boston, all that, Massachusetts, you already know the whatever is
• 3:03
  going on, the Commonwealth or whatever, you know,
• 3:06
  people already know that. Hey, listen, you're going to have a tremendous game.
• 3:10
  Two teams out here. I'm not going to even talk about the spread line because I'm, hey, listen.
• 3:14
  I'm not here to bet, even though I got monies here. I made a couple of,
• 3:18
  you know, but Super Bowl, it's February 8th, 2026.
• 3:23
  It's going to be in Santa Clara, California, a.k.a. San Francisco with a 49ers playhead.
• 3:30
  You already know Levi's Stadium, home of the San Francisco 49ers and a home
• 3:34
  of, I don't know, so many things over there.
• 3:38
  And, you know, we got that. We need that good weather. And once again,
• 3:41
  it's Super Bowl 60. It is the 60th matchup of the Super Bowl.
• 3:45
  So once again, we're going to have a good one. So the Seattle,
• 3:48
  let's get on with the tour. Seattle, New England, two teams.
• 3:51
  I personally, I personally will not have them in here where we are now.
• 4:00
  Both teams, for some reason, even though they have met in the Super Bowl years
• 4:05
  ago when Patriots had Tom Brady and Seattle had Russell Wilson and Marshawn and those boys.
• 4:11
  And you already know the end of that game is one that they always talk about
• 4:16
  because the Seattle Seahawks.
• 4:18
  They had the ball at the second yard line with a couple of seconds,
• 4:21
  and instead of running the ball, give it to the beast mode, Marshawn Lynch.
• 4:26
  They decided to throw, and it's crazy because Seattle was at the Cubs.
• 4:32
  If I'm not mistaken, they already won a Super Bowl. They were at the Cubs to
• 4:35
  be perhaps the franchise.
• 4:38
  They had overthrown the Patriots, but the Patriots were the Patriots with Tom
• 4:43
  Brady and them boys, you already know.
• 4:45
  So it's going to be another matchup, but I don't think in top of my head,
• 4:49
  none of the plays I was there playing now, that was years ago.
• 4:52
  And I say years ago, we're talking about pre-COVID.
• 4:55
  You know, it's crazy. You know, we're talking about, you know,
• 4:58
  during the time of COVID and so on, the pandemic.
• 5:00
  It's like when I say pre-COVID, it's like BCAD, all that good stuff.
• 5:04
  I sometimes got to be like that. We live in a different times.
• 5:08
  And that was a long time ago. So you already know, we got the game.
• 5:12
  Once again, I'm not going to give who's the favorite, whatever it is,
• 5:15
  we're going to talk about it because, once again, these two teams,
• 5:18
  I don't know, you know, once the Seattle Seahawks.
• 5:21
  Now, I'm going to be talking about the Seattle Seahawks.
• 5:24
  I mean, how can I say? I am going to say who I feel that's going to win,
• 5:29
  and I'm going to go on a limb, that Seattle Seahawks.
• 5:31
  For some reason, that team is built a little bit different. They built good,
• 5:35
  and this is not the Legion of Doom, if those remember about, again, 10 years ago,
• 5:41
  maybe a little bit eight, whatever that team with defense this
• 5:44
  team is loaded have a little bit of everything led by
• 5:48
  coach mike mcdonald young coach out there doing the thing and you already know
• 5:53
  i had the receiver from the you know what the receiver the wide receiver from
• 5:59
  the seattle seahawks to me it's one of the hardest lasting keeper,
• 6:07
  I had my boy there. He was on my lineup in terms of the fantasy football.
• 6:12
  That was my dude. Jackson Smith.
• 6:16
  I'm probably saying it. Screwing the name. But he's a boy. I'm 11 and they got
• 6:20
  Cooper Cub who they pick up.
• 6:22
  But they got a couple of other plays. Jake Bobo. You already know.
• 6:25
  But the thing, the interesting thing, you know, that team is a little bit loaded.
• 6:29
  A couple of good linebackers there. Jivey Avey. Eric Hall, you already know.
• 6:34
  The Marcus Lawrence that came from the Cowboys you
• 6:38
  know this this team is built a little bit different they got like a little bit
• 6:41
  of everything you know shout out to their secondary and all
• 6:44
  that good stuff or the offensive line doing their thing but I find it interesting
• 6:48
  and and perhaps perhaps and this is how weird football is because football is
• 6:56
  the one sport where it's a team game But a lot of stuff depends on,
• 7:02
  well, let's just say, the quarterback.
• 7:05
  And I remember that Seattle a couple of years ago under the previous coach, Pete Carroll.
• 7:10
  And I remember they had Geno Smear, and he was doing their thing.
• 7:12
  But, you know, Geno is Geno.
• 7:14
  For those people that love football, you know, Geno is a little bit erratic, you know?
• 7:19
  So you needed somebody steady because a lot of people felt, hey,
• 7:22
  listen, it's a good team.
• 7:24
  And it's crazy. They had one of the better wide receivers. Because you already
• 7:27
  know who it was. Number four over there playing in Pittsburgh.
• 7:30
  But the fact is this, that because of that, they felt like, listen,
• 7:35
  Smith over here, that's the go-to guy. We got a couple of good running backs.
• 7:41
  You know, it's a little running back by committee. George Helani doing his thing.
• 7:45
  But the fact is that the quarterback, Sam Darnold, who from many plays,
• 7:51
  years ago when he was drafted by the New York Jets, was a buzz.
• 7:54
  And look, my thing, because I'm a Notre Dame guy, and we play the U.S.
• 7:59
  CD, University of Southern California with San Dono, and I'll be straight up.
• 8:04
  For some reason, there was a lot of hype, and rightfully so, with Sam Donald.
• 8:08
  And there was a game against, you know, Notre Dame years ago.
• 8:11
  Again, this years ago, Notre Dame, USC, and I always fell.
• 8:16
  I think Sam Donald threw like three or four answers. And I said to myself,
• 8:20
  I could understand something, but I just couldn't think that the hype was the hype.
• 8:27
  But for some reason, he still got drafted by the Jets up there,
• 8:31
  whatever the case might be.
• 8:33
  That didn't pan out. That was a buzz. I think, you know, look,
• 8:36
  the Jets could have drafted anybody, and they'll screw you, and they'll go to
• 8:41
  another team and do their thing.
• 8:42
  Look at the Jets. The Jets aren't going to make fun of the Jets anymore.
• 8:45
  But the fact that Sam Donald goes to the Vikings and was productive,
• 8:49
  but still, he's that thing that lingered in the air, you know.
• 8:52
  And for some reason, the Seattle Seahawks said, you know what?
• 8:55
  Why not? Give him a big contract. And at the end of the day, look at him.
• 9:00
  He's leading the Seattle Seahawks to the Super Bowl champion.
• 9:03
  And I personally, for some reason, not truly invested emotionally in this game,
• 9:09
  to be honest with you. Not that much.
• 9:12
  Even though, hey, listen, I'm doing the little pool.
• 9:14
  I'm doing the little pool. So there's a lot of money. But still,
• 9:18
  that has nothing to do with the winners for the most part, I would say.
• 9:22
  But the fact that Sam Donald, that is an interesting story. And once again,
• 9:26
  in football, there's been a lot of, I mean, Trent Delphi a week ago.
• 9:30
  I mean, that's Rich Gannon. I mean, when it comes to football,
• 9:34
  and we've seen this, we could have great quarterbacks in college and just stuck up to doing the NFL.
• 9:39
  You could have mediocre quarterbacks. And I just say Tom Brady.
• 9:45
  I'm not saying that Tom Brady was mediocre in college.
• 9:48
  He did his thing in Michigan. Hey, when you play for Michigan,
• 9:52
  you know, it's a little different.
• 9:54
  Because a lot of people feel like when you play for a big school like that,
• 9:57
  Michigan, especially like a powerhouse, running the ball, you might think that,
• 10:01
  hey, you're a product of the system instead of the other way around.
• 10:05
  But the fact is that Tom Brady was not flashy, flashy, but the rest is history.
• 10:09
  A person that was flashy, flashy, let's say Patrick Mahomes.
• 10:13
  Taylor Hurts, you know, Patrick, hey, Patrick had a, you know,
• 10:16
  Texas, with a Texas Tech.
• 10:18
  But you get the gist. You know, Sam Donald was, you know, amongst the line of,
• 10:22
  you know, oh, hey, listen, this person's going to be great, but he's struggling
• 10:25
  in college. But look, the rest is history.
• 10:27
  All I'm saying, Sam Donald, that's an interesting story.
• 10:30
  I lean towards, I think that he's going to have a great Super Bowl.
• 10:34
  I think it's going to be a good Super Bowl. Very close. And it's against the New England Patriots.
• 10:39
  And the New England Patriots, if we spoke about the New England Patriots 10
• 10:42
  years ago, even eight years ago, they were the team to beat, basically.
• 10:48
  But once Tom Brady left or he got traded or whatever,
• 10:52
  Sadly, the trajectory changed And this team is a different makeup Even though
• 10:56
  the coach, Mike Braybill,
• 10:58
  Who was a former Patriots Patriots coach Now is at the helm And now he's leading
• 11:05
  the charge And now the Patriots is where we're at now Now the player that I was going to say, D.K.
• 11:11
  Metcalf That was one of the best wide receivers And, you know,
• 11:15
  interesting He got traded and that's why Smith, but going back to the Patriots.
• 11:21
  Again, I'm as surprised and yet not.
• 11:25
  Because the thing with the Patriots, and I'll say this much,
• 11:29
  I mean, bring in Mike Babe, Mike Ray Rue, the head coach of the Patriots.
• 11:33
  I mean, he's one of those that was there with Tom Brady. So,
• 11:36
  you know, there's a smell of winning.
• 11:39
  Even though they had the coach, I believe it was Jerry Mayer,
• 11:42
  but, you know, I guess he didn't get along with players or something to that effect.
• 11:46
  I don't know what the story, they didn't last that long.
• 11:49
  They big Mike. Mike was in Tennessee.
• 11:53
  Ray Brew, it's one of those coaches, kind of nails, maybe not the best X and
• 11:59
  O type of coach, but he's back. He's doing his thing.
• 12:03
  But the fact that, you know, now this team, it's once again,
• 12:07
  going back to the quarterback, Drake May.
• 12:13
  Now, Drake May is interesting because once again, Drake May was not.
• 12:18
  And it's kind of funny because he's from the North Carolina University,
• 12:21
  Tar Heels. And for some reason, North Carolina, even though they're not a football
• 12:26
  program per se, they more or less go to basketball.
• 12:30
  You already know they got a basketball, college basketball pedigree.
• 12:34
  But the fact that it's been in the last, I'm going to say like the last 10,
• 12:38
  14 years, there's been a couple of good North Carolina college football QBs there.
• 12:44
  I mean, Mike Trubisky, I think is one of them, and Drake Mayer.
• 12:48
  And for some reason, these are individuals that got drafted high.
• 12:51
  And again, in college football, they're in the ACC. So the competition is there.
• 12:57
  So if you are in, let's say, North Carolina doing your thing,
• 13:00
  and beating some of the bigger boys or whatever it is, they said,
• 13:05
  hey, they're going to give you props. And then, how can I say?
• 13:08
  For some reason, they believed that Drake, man, he put us in good numbers.
• 13:12
  And he was like, what, first-round pick or something to that effect?
• 13:14
  Top five, if I'm not mistaken?
• 13:17
  And obviously, you already know that when certain quarterbacks,
• 13:20
  the pattern would be the quarterback from North Carolina, like Mike Trubisky
• 13:25
  or something to that effect.
• 13:26
  I mean, that didn't pan out. I think he's still playing football somewhere.
• 13:29
  But the fact that Drake made, it's one of those dudes that he's balling.
• 13:35
  He's balling. And they got a good team. Marcus Jones out there doing his thing.
• 13:41
  Got the defense, Christian Gonzalez. I mean, this team, the thing about this
• 13:45
  team is that it reminds me a little bit of, how can I say,
• 13:51
  that old school kind of grinded out. And they put in numbers.
• 13:56
  They don't get it messed up. They put in numbers. And the fact that they brought
• 14:00
  some couple of players, I already know, Carton Davis, you know,
• 14:03
  they put some money on that defense.
• 14:06
  Because, you know, you kind of want to build that little defense like Mike,
• 14:09
  you know, those old school football players that just banged out,
• 14:14
  you know, doing that thing.
• 14:16
  I'm like, oh, gee, you know what I mean?
• 14:20
  But the thing is that with this team, it's that, hey, listen,
• 14:23
  yes, they lose a couple of players here and there. But the fact that they are
• 14:27
  able to plug in players And do this thing where Listen, that's a good team here.
• 14:34
  And running back, Andre Stevenson, I'm telling you, he's a beast.
• 14:38
  Henderson, he's a beast. Stephon Diggs, let's not forget.
• 14:43
  Stephon, he was in the build. It's funny. And I'm going to even going to say this.
• 14:47
  So years ago, Stephon Diggs was playing with Buffalo, and I always wanted to root for Buffalo.
• 14:52
  And Stephon had some puns with the QB over there and Josh Allen.
• 14:56
  Sadly, you already know.
• 14:57
  You got beef with Josh Allen or you not with Josh Allen, whatever the case, you out of here.
• 15:03
  Stephon you know people accuse him you know he's a little uh what
• 15:05
  they call diva and you know wide receivers but guess where he's at now right
• 15:10
  he ain't doing the the things that you know as he has been older and mature
• 15:14
  he's zip because now he's playing with a quarterback that's gonna give him the
• 15:18
  ball and now because of the coach if you don't get the ball hey don't say anything
• 15:24
  why you didn't get the ball you already know you didn't go right up and they
• 15:28
  got some good you No tight ends there.
• 15:30
  But the offense, again, once again, these two teams kind of in a bit similar,
• 15:34
  mirror to mirror, in a sense, they're, you know, linebackers. I'm telling you.
• 15:39
  Jack Gibbons, all those linebackers there. Devon Jason.
• 15:44
  Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh. Let's get it. That defense, both, again,
• 15:47
  both of these teams are just those old school kind of teams where,
• 15:54
  you know, it's going to be boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
• 15:57
  Boom and you're gonna somebody's gonna hit so at the end what it is what's the
• 16:01
  difference i think that it's gonna be a closed game if if it's not a closed
• 16:06
  game right i mean somebody gets blown out i think that the.
• 16:11
  I'm going to say that for some reason that Seattle is more explosive offensively.
• 16:15
  But again, we could have the Patriots just running the ball, doing their thing.
• 16:19
  And hey, listen, cutting some time, making sure that they don't get the ball.
• 16:23
  So if I was to say it's going to be a close game, I still say Seattle is going to win.
• 16:27
  It might be those games where in the first half, they're going to fill out like two boxes there.
• 16:33
  Might be a little low scoring in the first half, but then in the second half,
• 16:36
  it's going to step up. You're going to see some acceleration.
• 16:39
  I'm looking at about like a 30 to 26 type of deal.
• 16:43
  And if it's a blowout, again, I think that Seattle might have the edge in that
• 16:48
  one because I think that they could just go boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
• 16:52
  And the fact that I think that Seattle was playing a little bit more high octane
• 16:56
  because, you know, in order to beat, let's say, San Francisco,
• 17:01
  who's in their division and the Rams, you got to put them points,
• 17:05
  especially with the Rams.
• 17:06
  You got to outplay these teams. I play, and I think that is going to be a close game.
• 17:12
  But once again, the Seattle Seahawks is going to probably take one.
• 17:15
  The game is going to be on Peacock. Watch the game, 6.30.
• 17:18
  Halftime is going to be with Bad Bunny. I did a thing there with Bad Bunny, but listen to it.
• 17:23
  I think Green Day is going to be a special guest or something to that effect.
• 17:26
  It's going to be interesting.
• 17:28
  Watch the football. You know, football is watched by close to over 100 million
• 17:32
  here in the United States.
• 17:33
  I think 150 million worldwide. I could understand that those soccer aficionados
• 17:38
  who watch the FIFA, oh, they say, well, soccer is watched worldwide. Nah, whatever.
• 17:44
  But those in the cricket, I think it was like cricket a couple of years ago,
• 17:49
  I think it was India and Bangladesh, which has watched supposedly like almost
• 17:53
  close to a billion people.
• 17:54
  I'm like, damn, everybody in India was watching it. You know what I mean?
• 17:58
  Everybody in Bangladesh was watching it too, even the babies.
• 18:00
  They're kind of babies out there. They're kind of everybody supposedly watched.
• 18:05
  But the football and the NFL and the Super Bowl, that's us. That's an American
• 18:10
  thing here in this side of the country or this side of the world.
• 18:13
  So watch this. It's going to be interesting. Seattle Seahawks versus the New England Patriots.
• 18:17
  It's going to be fun. It's going to be wild for those people out there who put some money in this.
• 18:22
  I ain't going to – if you're like, oh, but David said that, you know,
• 18:25
  Seattle and I put a thousand and nobody hit me up with, like, that nonsense.
• 18:29
  Like, but David, you know, I was listening to your podcast.
• 18:32
  Yes, listening to my podcast. But I'm just saying, that's just me.
• 18:35
  I'm just saying and the funny thing and lastly you already know once again you got to hit that like.
• 18:41
  Subscribe and all that good stuff and then the funny thing right there's
• 18:45
  a poster of the in the beginning of
• 18:47
  the year and this poster have these different players and especially known
• 18:50
  players um and this poster every year
• 18:53
  the NFL does this thing where all these players kind of locked in looking at
• 18:58
  their sights in the Super Bowl and some fans didn't notice that the poster now
• 19:04
  when I said this poster was like already in the beginning of the season if you
• 19:07
  look at the last two player smaller player because they're going to show the
