Can we just hand the Lombardi trophy to Seattle?

They'll clobber New England. It'll save us all a lot of time, too.

Look, I have no dog in this fight so don't misconstrue this for a Seattle fan's smack talk. Hell, my team didn't even sniff the playoffs and the teams I genuinely dislike were all eliminated, so I have little rooting interest. I just want a good game to watch.

Having said that, if Darnold is on his game like yesterday, then Pats fans can look forward to SB XX redux.

Maybe

We should always play the game. This year we want the halftime show just because the performer is someone Trump doesn’t like. Don’t deny us the pleasure.

the Patriots.. That annoys me as well... We shall see, I guess, but my hope is that Green Day and Bad Bunny send Trump and MAGA into irreversible fits of rage--against THEMSELVES!

...is to maintain interest.
Watching the ESPN shows, I'd say the people picking the Seahawks are at least 3 to 1.
So those paid for their football expertise sure aren't crowning the Pat's

Can he do it twice? Maybe, but I'll believe it when I see it.

Then again, Maye is very young and inexperienced. The odds favor the Seahawks for good reason.

Seattle fans are completely insufferable and I have to live amongst them. Nothing would make me happier than seeing them knocked down a peg.

his playoff performance last year. I have no interest in seeing the game, but I can imagine Darnold looking like Mahomes in last year's DB. (I might watch the halftime because I paid way too much to get a par of Bad bunny - Adidas collaboration sneakers, though)
