Hey guys, welcome to the Bill Barnwell Show. I am Bill Barnwell. I love this. We're already here. You may not be able to see this if you're listening to the podcast. But if you're watching on YouTube across from me, you see a man in the thick of it on Radio Row.

There's lights.

There's background noise.

Random people on cell phones coming by.

What a life.

A man who I would imagine did not expect to be here before the season.

Andrew Callahan.

Did you imagine that you were going to find yourself on Radio Row covering a Patriots Super Bowl?

No, Bill.

And anyone who had told me I would be would have immediately been submitted to a breathalyzer,

but I am nonetheless happy to be on Radio Row.

I feel like this is the sweet spot of Radio Row.

You know, it's like a party where you show up and it's just like at 100 all at once and you're like, okay, this is going to tire me out in two hours. But we're walking in, we're shaking hands, we're kissing babies. It's a good time to be here. It's Boston Herald's Andrew Callahan, one of the best Patriots beat reporters out there joining us today. Very excited to have Andrew on the show.

Earlier this week, we talked with Charles McDonald about the Patriots offense and the, sorry,

the Patriots defense and the Seahawks offense. We're going to flip it today. Patriots

offense, Seahawks defense. Is that correct? Is my mind broken? Yes, yes, it is. You keep giving me this scare because all of my notes pertain to Drake May versus a Seattle defense. But I'm ready to go. We could improv Patriots defense again and run it back and see if Charles is around, but I'm ready to go. Let's do Patriots offense. Seahawks defense. Let's do Drake May and let's do Devon Wetherspoon and that's Seahawks defense.

Really fascinating matchup to me.

I'm writing about this now for my Super Bowl preview.

We have on one side, the offense that created more explosive plays than anybody else in the National Football League.

And on the other side, the defense that prevented teams from creating explosive plays more than anybody else in the National Football League.

And so let's start with the Patriot side of things.

Let's start with Drake May. Let's start with what's been a really weird postseason for Drake May.
