| 0:00.0 | 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. |
| 0:34.6 | They have the more veteran quarterback. |
| 0:36.6 | They feel like the more complete team. |
| 0:39.1 | But it is pretty wild if you just sit back and think about New England. |
| 0:41.9 | The last two years have been a four and 13 squad. |

| 1:03.0 | But they struck while the iron was hot, and it's very unfair to Gerard Mayo to be done after a year. |
| 1:08.7 | 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, |
| 1:33.3 | 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 | long ago. Yeah. And when you see a team, there's so few that go in dynasty mode. |
| 1:49.2 | Like with the Patriots, with Tom Brady, go back to the Cowboys of the 90s. |
| 1:54.6 | But after that last Super Bowl in 2018, and then when Brady leaves, and even when Belichick is there, |
