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

On this glorious Super Bowl season, Feel Good Friday, January 30th,

20, 2006, this program begins now.

Football!

It is magical, with nine days away from the Super Bowl that has the Seattle Seahawks favored by four and a half in a battle against the New England

Patriots in Santa Clara, California, as the Patriots and Mike Vrable and Drake May try to reclaim

the NFL kingdom for the New England Patriots fan base and the Seattle Seahawks alongside

what appears to be a football defensive computer genius.

Mike McDonald and Sam Donald in a resurgence of a career in which a lot of people said

that he was ass can bring the Lombardi back to the Pacific Northwest, a place that is used to

having success, but didn't expect to have this type of run this early.

Nobody could have.

But what Sam Donald has done over the last two years is better than damn near anybody in the history of the game.

What this McDonald fellow has done has become a defensive guru. You know, McVeigh, down there at the Los Angeles Rams got a lot of people jobs

because they were offensive geniuses. They knew the exes and O's. This guy got a gig with the Seattle Seahawks after Pete Carroll was relieved of his duties. And he is the defensive guru super genius coordinator guy. That is what everybody is looking for right now if they hire a defensive coach is this guy right here. His first ever team meeting that he had to Seattle Seahawks, first time being a head coach, he comes in and he says, all I want you guys all. most of this team is not going to be here. His first ever team meeting that he had at the Seattle Seahawks, first time being a head coach, he comes in and he says, all, all, most of his team is not going to be here. You know, it's offseason still, there's training camp. This is the first day of a brand new regime. Who knows who's going to actually make it? Close your eyes. I want you to envision an agency championship. We're at home, it's 30, it's raining a little bit. Shitty for them, just right for us. What happens?

The exact situation.

He thought it was going to happen in year one.

Turns out it happens in year two, and I don't think it's slowing down. When you have a defensive mind like that, they are going to make your day miserable for the next 10, 15 years, it feels like. And on the offensive side, Sam Donald being welcomed in there, I think $55 million guaranteed deal.

He's obviously not the highest paid quarterback in the NFL, but he's on a great deal for where he was in his career. He might ask for more. He's got 10 years in his career as well. So if the offense is going to get taken care of and the defense is going to be greater, the Seattle Seahawks in the middle of maybe a next dynasty. And then on a flip side, with Drake may be in 23, and Vrable with a chip on his shoulder after getting fired, basically, from the Tennessee Titans? Are they going to be great for the next 10 years? We're potentially watching the beginning of what the next decade or two could look like in the NFL. And that's why nine days from now it's such a big deal. big deal. There's going to be parts of the globe that are watching football for the first time all year.

They're going to see his 23-year-old a big deal. There's going to be parts of the globe that are watching football for the first time all year.

They're going to see his 23-year-old out of nowhere.

What's this thing? He was up for the MVP this year. Whoa, it's crazy. That guy with the big nose, large head to head. What is that guy? He's a head coach. One he on the other? No, yeah. He was, yeah, yeah.
