Hello, beautiful people, and welcome to our Humbley Bo, the Thunderdome.

On this Super Bowl season Thursday, January 29, 2006, this program begins now.

Football!

It is awesome, and obviously we're in the middle of Super Bowl season.

Happy Super Bowl season to all of you.

We find out who the best in the world is just a little over a week from now. As the New England Patriots and as the home team, which we don't think really makes a lot of sense because they were the number two seed. And Seattle Seahawks were number one seed. So you would think the Seattle Seahawks, since they had a higher seating would be categorized as the home team. They are not, I guess, just because it's alternating years,

kind of how it all goes. AFC's picking the uniforms. They're going all whites. They're going all

whites at the Super Bowl. The Seattle Seahawks, Sam Donald and McDonald, will try to become world

champions once again for the Pacific Northwest as the

Revolution Region represents the AFC in a brand new way.

Now, the former coach of their dynasty, not a first ballot hall of favor.

No, no, no.

Now, people talk about how it's the greatest dynasty maybe in the history of sports as a whole.

And there's certainly other dynasties within the NFL's run as a 100-plus-year-old

league, the best league in the world. He can certainly give the Niners a nod, the Cowboys a nod, the Steelers, a nod, the Chiefs. I think you can give one. Are the Philadelphia Eagles in the middle of one right now? Who knows? But the greatest dynasty in everybody's eyes is what the New England Patriots were. For 20-some years, every other year, it seemed like they were going to the Super

Bowl. And Tom Brady, this handsome, smart guy, he had to be cheating. Well, there was a couple stories about that. When you're at the top of the mountain for that long, there's certainly going to be people trying to figure out how the hell they're able to beat everybody else. Well, maybe it's because they just were that damn special. And the rest of the world had to kind of live in their kingdom. And now it feels as if we might be uttering it again. And I don't know if everybody's loving it, but I do know it feels like a brand new model, but it's the same old formula. You got a dog as a coach, you got a great young quarterback and a team that has fully bought in over there in New

England, and they've built the same thing in Seattle.

Four and a half point spread.

71% of the bets are still on the Seattle Seahawks, who we've seen offensively perform

much better than the New England Patriots have performed offensively throughout this

playoff run.

Has weather been a factor, or has it been the easiest run in the history of football for the New England Patriots?
