Chapter 1: What insights does Kevin Harlan share about calling Super Bowl 60?
The score! Happy New Year, everyone, along with former NFL MVP Rich Gannon, Kevin Harlan. Somebody has run out on the field. Some goofball in a hat and a red shirt. Now he takes off the shirt. He's running down the middle by the 50. He's at the 30. He's bare-chested and banging his chest. Now he runs the opposite way. He runs at the 50. He runs at the 40. The guy is drunk.
I just pulled through the Taco Bell drive-thru, and I've got a couple of big, nasty Supreme Burritos right here waiting to be. And I know that they're going to go down a little bit more difficultly now because Marshall is not going to be in that scenario. And then you just kind of wonder where the wind's going to blow. With Rahimi Harrison-Grody. Let's bring it, Layla. Let's bring it home, baby.
Let's ramrod our way right into it.
On 104.3 The Score.
That gets me fired up. To do what? I'm not quite sure. Run between the tackles? Let's go. Kevin Harlan is the man to announce it. You know, I think nobody does a better job of play-by-play, not of just football, but life. And so he joins us on our Circus Sports Illinois hotline. Download the Circus Sports app today.
Kevin Harlan, the voice on Westwood, one that you will hear calling Super Bowl 60 this Sunday right here on 104.3 The Score. Super Sunday coverage begins at 1, continues throughout the day. Then it is Seahawks and Patriots kickoff at 5.30 right here on the Score and the Odyssey app. And he's calling Sons of Warriors tonight on Prime Video. The man doesn't sleep. Is he here? Did we lose Kevin?
Oh, no. Oh, I fell asleep. I just... That was the problem, Layla. I heard that embarrassing stuff about Taco Bell and all that other stuff you were playing. And I go, oh my God, what have I done to my career? And I kind of snooze there. I caught 10 winks, but I'm back with you and ready to rock. Ready to go.
What are you talking about? That was awesome when you were in the Taco Bell drive-thru with us. Who hasn't been in the Taco Bell drive-thru?
Highly relatable content, Kevin.

Chapter 2: How does Kevin Harlan balance his NFL and NBA broadcasting duties?
And I think this could be about as interesting a game as we've actually had here in a while.
Well, and you're the consummate pro, you know, I can't imagine what it's like calling so many Super Bowls, knowing that it's not just the sports nerds like us who want to talk to you, say about the game where you might not see Steph Curry tonight. We're still interested. But, you know, also the Sunday games you do every week for Westwood one.
But then what the conversations are like with people when it comes to the Super Bowl, because that's the audience that doesn't typically watch football, but they're watching the game every year.
Yeah, you know, it is. I think my record was 42 different outlets a couple years ago, and then they gracefully cut back my appearances on that because I'm there for about three hours. But when you're going from one entity to the next, some TV stuff, some international stuff, a lot of radio affiliates like your great station, you know, they're asking a lot of different kind of questions.
And it's weird because... I go in thinking, well, they're probably going to ask a lot about the New England defense. Or they're going to ask about, you know, Darnold and his well-traveled resume and here on his fifth team has a chance to make history. You know, just a lot of things like that. And they'll ask, like, well, how do you keep your voice ready? Or do you get any sleep the night before?
Do you go out and get dinner beforehand? And are family and friends here with you? And, like, just stuff that I guess I wouldn't, you know, anticipate they're going to ask, but They do, and it's kind of fun, and it kind of keeps you on your toes. But at the end of the day, it does. You're so right, Layla and Marshall. They bring in, you know, the more casual fan is now involved.
I guess you've got to have a feel for that to a degree. You know, what makes sense to them? You can't assume anything. And because the game is so enormous in its reach and appeal, you know, people are going to ask, you know, different ā things as the week goes on, and certainly for people that are going to call the game.
There are only two, you know, broadcasts in this country, and ours will actually go overseas to the BBC and other places. And it's fun to know that those calls of yours, you know, will be, you know, kind of etched in people's memories or could be if there's a big play.
But at the other end of the spectrum are people that are just mildly interested and want to know other things about, well, who's calling it and why are you calling it and What do you think is interesting outside the game itself? And so it does. It kind of keeps you on your toes, and it's fun to bring in other people that are interested now in the NFL in this big game.

Chapter 3: What makes Mac Hollins the most interesting man in Super Bowl 60?
And so there's just so much going on that if you do pause for anything, whether to eat or do otherwise, you're behind. And on a day like this, you can't get behind. So it's thrilling, and I'm glad to be in this chair and have this responsibility. But you do kind of put everything else on hold because you're kind of the slave of these different things that are ongoing and not ā
a lot of commas and no periods, nothing is ending. It's just kind of this continuous train that you got to make sure you're on because you don't want to fall behind.
Kevin, I'm so glad you brought up the fact that we all have to time our bathroom breaks in this business because we do. It's something that we have to deal with too.
I know you guys are going to do the same thing. You've got that little sliver of time to take care of your business. And then after that, you got to go another hour, right? And same thing, then another hour after that. So I get it. In the business, you cannot just leave for a minute and just hit a pause button. You've got to keep it in place.
these are two teams talking about the football now, two teams that the country is familiar with because it's a rematch of sorts.

Chapter 4: How has Mac Hollins' unique lifestyle influenced his football career?
Uh, you know, coaches have moved on, players have moved on, but it's the Seahawks and it's the Patriots. And we all remember how the last time these two teams played in the Superbowl, how that game ended. What are you most excited about when looking back into the football at this specific matchup?
Well, everything about it to me is intriguing. Um, Darnold and the many stops he's had to make to become the quarterback he is now. May, who's had the great acceleration with his football acumen, the way he has mastered so much with Josh McDaniels, his offensive coordinator now in his 10th Super Bowl, kind of pulling the strings and pushing the buttons, leading him along this journey.
Mike Vrabel in his first year back at a place that He played in four Super Bowls for Belichick and New England. Mike McDonald, the coach of Seattle, in his second year, won 10 games last year, won 14 games this year. He's a defensive play caller. We've never had a defensive play caller win a Super Bowl.
Smith and Jigba, who is probably the most electric player in the league right now as a receiver for the Seahawks. We could go on and on and get deeper into the weeds here. with every sentence, but there's a lot here to grasp. I do think it's going to be a defensive game, and I think we're not going to see long, extended drives.
It feels to me like the defense for both teams have some answers, and that could make it kind of a disjointed feel in terms of rhythm, but I do think defense, at the end of the day, will have a pretty good size fingerprint on the outcome. But it also seems to me that we could have, you know, maybe a special teams play. We've never had a punt return touchdown in the Super Bowl.
We've had 59 of them with a lot of plays and never a punt return touchdown. And we've got two pretty good returners in this game. One that joined one team halfway through the year in a mid-season trade. And the other one has been in New England for a while and has done damage, both as a starting defensive back and as a return guy.
So there could be a lot of different twists and turns here that we're not really expecting that could definitely take hold of a game with maybe not a lot of great name recognition and two unexpected teams. The odds for each, I think, were 60-1 coming into the season, and here they are in the biggest game. So there's a lot here to kind of wrap your arms around and
and embrace because I think there's going to be captivating stories, but we could have one of those players jump into the limelight, into the spotlight that we're not expecting that can make a real difference in the game.
We're talking to Kevin Harland. He is the voice calling Westwood One's broadcast of Super Bowl 60, which you can hear right here on Sunday on 104.3 The Score. And Kevin, we brought this up in our pre-show meeting. We were talking about a lot of the interviews Mike Vrabel has done and enjoying what he's brought to this Super Bowl week leading up.

Chapter 5: What are the key storylines leading up to the Patriots vs. Seahawks matchup?
But anyway, you need quick and easy, and those all seem to be quick and easy.
Kevin Harlan.
Which, by the way, were my nicknames in high school. So that has paid off in a great way. Hey, quickly, how has the move to the FM side gone?
Well, you sound awesome, so we're very happy about that. I think a lot of listeners are doing experiments. They're seeing which sounds better to them. So outside of the city, FM probably not the bet. You know, still 670. But inside the city, we hear people can listen to us next to our building now. So that's pretty big.
Well, you get the best of both worlds. You get the big reach of 670, and you get the clarity for your prime market, which is right there in the Chicagoland area. So that's great. By the way, we were there for that Rams game, as you know, a couple weeks ago. The city has never looked better, man. We were there right after the pandemic, and I was afraid of, uh-oh, like this.
I hope they can ā and they really have. And the foot traffic and the city was lit up. Restaurants were great. Went to my favorite Italian ā man, it was wonderful. So we loved being there, and I can't wait to get back there again in the fall.
Are you willing to tell us what your favorite Italian spot is?
Oh, absolutely. I go there every single time. It's the one restaurant, that and Gibby's, Gibson's. Those are my two hits every time I go to Chicago. I've gone to Gibson's since Jordan and Rodman and Pippen were there. We'd go there after those games. Each would have a table in Gibson's. I loved it. That place has still stayed vibrant and great. I love Gibson's.
And then Valaria just kind of fell upon a couple years ago, not 10 years ago. And always make it a point to go there. It's one of the best. That and Piero's in Las Vegas are my two favorite Italian restaurants in the country. But they never disappoint. And so they're always on the schedule when I make it there.

Chapter 6: What challenges do broadcasters face during high-pressure events like the Super Bowl?
Which you can hear Kevin Harlan call right here on 104.3 The Score, Super Bowl 60. Coverage begins at 1. And yes, he is calling Sons of Warriors tonight for Prime Video. Coming up next on Rahimi Harris and Brody, we have found maybe not the biggest star, but the most interesting man at the Super Bowl. Next.
Rahimi Harris and Grody. Middays 10 to 2. On 104.3 The Score.
I'm still glowing over the Kevin Harlan interview because he's the best. And now I'm glowing even more because Rinaldi's brought pizza by. And they have those cool flyers that they do. It's a good day here at the score.
Hot honey for me, baby. Hot honey for me.
The hot honey is outstanding. That salad, though, has my name on it.
Between the pizza and the Kevin Harlan interview, the appropriate palate cleanser after listening to Julia Poe just kind of tell us we're not crazy. And yeah, it's as bad as I think it is.
Marshall looks at me after the Julia Poe interview. This is Rahimi Harrison-Grody on 104.3 The Score. If you're looking for 104.3 jams, go to B96. You won't be disappointed. In the meantime, Marshall might be disappointed after what he heard after Julia had the interview with us. You go, that was a harrowing report.
It was, because it's... It brought validity to my concern that I don't think they know what they're doing. And all of a sudden, this thing has gone off the rails.
I mean, I get it in a vacuum. Like the trade for Dale and Terry, you need a center. You got Yabusele. They do have a propensity to pick French players like Ousmane Jang, who you mentioned. And then also, obviously, Noah Essenge. But we're still trying to figure it out. That trade deadline should be over in about half an hour, by the way. So keep it here.

Chapter 7: How do casual fans engage differently with the Super Bowl compared to regular season games?
I will send it to you.
Yeah, he's back. Because I thought I was like, the most interesting man in the world is back.
I just didn't think I was going to have to search it out. You know what I'm saying?
I want to find the most interesting man in the world in real life. I think we found the most interesting man at the Super Bowl. And why is it Mac Hollins? Mac Hollins, self-described football nomad, the receiver for the Patriots, comes up in various headline searches, and they are just fabulous. Like, for example, the origins of Mac Hollins' decision to go barefoot.
And listen, a lot of people got it twisted when I talked about running around the world barefoot. That I say no to. Being barefoot at times is good. Like, that just helps your foot muscles and stuff.
So, in this case, Matt Collins, not only does he like to play barefoot and like to at least spend a lot of time barefoot, apparently he revealed to reporters that he hasn't eaten vegetables over the last four or five years. How do you do this and play football? I'm looking at a salad right now from Rinaldi's.
Maybe he's on a keto diet and it's just all protein and that's just how he rolls. It sounds like he's on the Al Michaels diet, who notably also does not eat vegetables.
Do you remember same era of the Dos Equis Most Interesting Man commercials? Do you remember when the phrase, that's how I roll, was just okay to use for anything? It was like, why didn't you pick your sister up from soccer practice? That's how I roll. Or like, why'd you kill that guy? That's how I roll.
Famously, it was used in Anchorman when Jack Black punted Baxter off of the bridge and he goes, that's how I roll. And then everybody just started using it. That's how I roll. How? How did you just have that on the ready? That was incredible.

Chapter 8: What unexpected elements could influence the outcome of Super Bowl 60?
dismissive, petty. How would you describe what just happened there?
Forgetful.
Forgetful? Do you think he just combined Jaden Daniels and Caleb Williams?
Yes, 100%.
How do you think Caleb Williams feels about that? Yeah, that's the better question, isn't it? Of any quarterback, Jaden Daniels? Whew, that's tough, Layla. That's tough. Caleb Williams is not going to take kindly to that.
I don't... Well, okay, so in that vein, I watched the video that the Bears put out, because you know, I like their social media a lot, and they put out a video of a scavenger hunt where they gave...
They gave Nashawn Wright and Kevin Byard at Pro Bowl practice these prompts, and they were little pieces of paper that told them what to do, like find somebody born before the year 2000, and they joked about how hard that was, and that made me sad inside. But then one of them was, you know, find somebody. I forget what they said, but it was Nashawn Wright basically going up to Amon Ross St.
Brown and, like, messing with him about mocking them, but, like, was cool about it, if that makes sense. So sometimes I think like, yeah, you're using it as bulletin board material for the week, but ultimately you're like, eh, that was a pretty good move by you. You know, game recognizes game type of thing.
Well, one thing's for sure, Jamar Chase did not recognize Caleb Williams' name, and that's bad.
