Welcome to Good Morning Football, presented by Pizza Hut.

That's right. Wednesday of Super Bowl week, we have been all in on GMFB, frankly, since last training camp, since last agency.

It's a 2025 regular season come to an end. Jamie Manti,, Seth and Kyle. Kyle, we, you look awfully professional right the second, looking straight at your camera, holding your coffee cup. Kyle, I got to say, though, these shows start to get real loosey-goosey. We had Frank Calliando on last hour. We got Gronk coming up. Are you going to treat Gronk the same as Frank where you're just like, Gronk, do this, gronk, do that, because Gronk is that kind of guess.

Ronk can do that.

But Frank Calienno,

it might as well just have a guitar case open and put people dollars and do this one do that one but he's so good at it. It's a lot of like dance monkey dance go and he does it he doesn't mind so I think gronk too people come on this show wanting to mix it up. There's a thousand shows here who may be straight and laced up and professional, and God bless them. This is not that one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's okay. I appreciate interior offensive line talk, but it can happen perhaps on the FM radio shows that are on a 3 a.m. local. Wherever you are, we respect you, and it's starting to fill up in here in Radio Row. It's a busy Bay Area this week. Jane Slater and Stacey Dales, the NFL Network. Here we go. With us, Jane, with the Patriots, Stacey with the Seahawks. Jane, I'll start with you, though. The X's and O's will be talked about all week. We just covered that. But this Patriots team went from 4 and 13 last season to a Super Bowl week navigation.

Real personal battles off the field.

Jane, one of those belongs to defensive coordinator, Troll Williams.

An incredible story, Jane.

You have more on this?

I do.

You know, Boston fans are familiar with this one, Jamie, but maybe not all of our viewers.

Defensive coordinator Torel Williams was dealing with a stomach bug. So we thought in week one after their loss on the road. He got back and it was Mike Vrable who urged him to go to

urgent care. That visit changed everything, guys. What he learned was far more serious and aggressive

metastatic form of prostate cancer. And that last word is scary because it means it

it had spread. Prioritizing treatment, Williams still found ways to show up for meetings. The

linebackers coach at court took over the play calling duties, but Williams was never far. Even as

he worried about becoming a distraction. And this story has a happy ending, guys. Just days ago,

Williams was finally able to say the words, I'm cancer-free.
