Hello beautiful people and welcome to our humble abode, the Thunderdown.

On this super overreaction Monday, February 9, 2026, this sports program begins now.

Football!

That was it right there.

Uh-huh.

Yep.

Yep.

The last football chant of the 2025-2020-6 season.

We'll be off starting tomorrow for a couple weeks, but while we're off, what we'll be doing is celebrating the greatest football season we have had.

We'll also be celebrating the greatest defense we have seen in a long time as we celebrate the Seattle Seahawks is your

Super Bowl champions.

Congratulations to Mike McDonald, head coach of the Seattle Seahawks, hired a little over 13 months ago,

as the new era of the Seattle Seahawks shall begin with a man who was a defensive coordinator

for Baltimore.

everything db good d bad d here with us looking good d boy what are they have in the corner of the team meeting room that Mike McDonald kind of leads? Just a stack of helmets of all the enemies, heads that they're taking throughout the season. We saw a little glimpse of them. I'm not sure what clip or what it was behind the scenes, but we saw Mike McDonald's top in the front of the meeting room. And this is awesome. This is one of the best little props, gimmicks I've seen in a team meeting room. Love everything about this. Yeah, I think this is Mike McDonald's kind of MO. Hey, we're going to be hard asses.
