What is the significance of Sam Darnold's journey to the Super Bowl?
It's the Boomer and Geo podcast from WFAN. And we're coming to you live from the Bill Fuller Tough Studio. Boomer Esaias and Greg Giannotti. It's Boomer and Geo on the fan simulcast across the country on CBS Sports Network and wherever you are on the free Odyssey app. Good Monday morning. I have been in the city ever since the last time I spoke to you at Friday at 10 o'clock. It's been a really weird... Weekend with the weather and all the things and everything that happened to be socially this weekend. Very odd. And I'll get to it at some point. But everybody is here and everybody is here safe. And that's all we care about. And we hope that you get to work safe. What are you doing? Yeah, all right. I got you.
He wants to move the helmets around of the teams that won. So if you didn't know, surprise. It's the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots as championship Sunday. An interesting one. We kept talking about how if this game was going to be up in New England, this big storm, winter storm, Fern was going to dump all sorts of snow on them. And it did. But I didn't expect. the snow to hit in Denver like it did in this game to make it basically unplayable in the fourth quarter, and Sam Darnold and the Seattle Seahawks get it done, so I'm a little bit disappointed he couldn't do it with my team, but I am very happy for him that he made it this year. Good morning, Boomer. How are you? Good morning, G. I'm doing well, and yeah, I'm happy for Sam, too, given all the things that he's gone through in his career, and now...
To be anointed the NFC champion and play just an absolutely fabulous game. I mean, he and Matthew Stafford went back and forth. I was hoping that Matthew Stafford was going to score late in the game to see if Sam could bring his team back and win it that way, which would have been even more impressive. But that Clint Kubiak, the offensive coordinator for the Seattle Seahawks, how he doesn't become the Raiders head coach, I would... I'd be shocked. I mean, Tom Brady's sitting here doing the whole game, and he's talking about the offense of the Seattle Seahawks, and he's gushing over Clint Kubiak. Sure. And, you know, we all know what Tom Brady does in the other part of his life. He actually owns part of the Raiders, and his buddy is the general manager.
That's right. So I would think that, man, watching what Sam Donald has done with him as his offensive coordinator and Sam as quarterback, you would think that that would be the perfect spot for him. But... I was just, you know, Sam never really came close to throwing an interception yesterday. You know, he played solid. He played great. I mean, the numbers are off the charts. He played his best game ever, I think, as a professional football player, at least, in the biggest moment. And that's really a crowning achievement, at least through my eyes. Yeah, and he got another opportunity, and that's the biggest thing. Last year in those two games, it had lingered around him, how great of a year he had, and then it was all of a sudden, well, he turned back into Sam Darnold, and the Seattle Seahawks said, hey, we saw a lot from him.
Clint Kubiak said, this guy is going to be, along with Mike McDonald, our starting quarterback, and not only did he recreate the great season he had last year, he made it even better. and then he gets the same opportunities as he had last year, and then this year wins those games and then gets an opportunity to play in the divisional round, in the NFC Championship game, and now gets a chance to play in the Super Bowl. It really is an incredible story, and you think about all the great quarterbacks that have dominated. the NFC and AFC, especially the AFC over the years, and now you've got two guys, one who was left for dead in the NFL in the quarterback blender who has gotten his team, the Seahawks, to the Super Bowl, and another guy who was drafted just a couple of years ago in his second season, taking the New England Patriots, who felt like they were away for 10 minutes, back to the Super Bowl.
