Last year we didn't get to talk much Super Bowl at all because we were so transfixed on the Luca trade.

0:04.9

And it's kind of nice for things to be at least quiet now on the NBA front.

0:10.0

And we can actually focus on what's going to be happening this Sunday, which I don't know if I'm eagerly anticipating this matchup necessarily just because you don't have a legendary quarterback.

0:21.6

I don't know if either of these teams I would consider legendary status.

0:25.6

But it's interesting.

0:27.6

And let's start with New England because I feel like everybody thinks the Seahawks should win this game.

0:32.6

They're favored for a reason, that defense.

They have the more veteran quarterback.

Because I think most NFL head coaches should at least get two. But when you have a Mike Brable sitting out there, that's a guy. Former Patriot. That's a guy I wish that Jerry would have at least called just to see. I mean, there's a great chance he never would have wanted to work under this infrastructure. But I think he makes a massive difference. So we can get into the roster building,

which I think is fascinating. But just having that guy with, you know, his presence and maybe his vision for what he wants a squad to look like. I mean, let's not forget, some of those

1:37.9

Tennessee teams are competing for, you know, playoff spots and AFC titles, you know, not that

1:43.0

1:49.2

Like with the Patriots, with Tom Brady, go back to the Cowboys of the 90s.
