What led to the Seahawks' success in reaching the Super Bowl?

Dave Dameshek 0:00
Hi, hello, my fellow football Americans. Super Bowl 60s all set. Seahawks, Patriots, excited to talk about that, but the majority of the conversation, it seems, is about the weather conditions at the AFC title game. What happened to you people? Okay, it snowed, and I heard it was also windy. I don't get it, just a few weeks ago I could swear I heard you singing about how you wanted to let it snow, let it snow, let it snow. Now all of a sudden you're Milli Vanilli in winter, blaming it on the snow? As you may have noticed, that game sucked before it started coming down. By the way, I don't mean to hurt anybody on either side's feelings, but if Bo Nix had played, Denver obviously wins that game. Either way, everyone watches Thousand Pound Sisters, right?

How did weather conditions affect the AFC title game?

Right. Well, as you know then, Amy's getting married and she wants the ceremony to be haunted. Ghosts for bridesmaids. Not people dressed as ghosts, mind you. Ghosts. Now, Tammy doesn't want to go. She thinks it's sacrilegious and more to the point too weird, and I agree with that. But Amy's the one with the ring on her finger. You don't get to tell her about her wedding. And that's what home field advantage is. Getting home field is a big reward for a big season long achievement. It was 82 and sunny in Jacksonville on Sunday. If the Jags had the number one seed, it would have been hot for the visitors. Is that unfair? The 99 Rams were ideally constructed to play under a dome, as their nickname Greatest Show on Turf indicated.
Dave Dameshek 1:20
I bet the Brownie Bucks didn't like playing under that dome. In fact, you might go so far as to say they felt disadvantaged. Are we also throwing out the results of the ice bowl? I mean, there's a pretty good case Bart Starr scored on that QB sneak only because it was slippy at. Maybe they're right though.

What were Sean Payton's critical decisions during the game?

Dave Dameshek 1:37
That green wall in Boston's ballpark is tall. The rough at Oakmont is rough. Maybe football fans should keep it down a little too. We don't want to distract those guys out there. Who needs actual empathy when you express your concern for a multi-millionaire who's chilly? What are we talking about? People are complaining about obstacles to success? Half the guys out there are paid to be human obstacles. They chase you around and everything. You know what? I've had it. I've got to go get some earmuffs, ski pants, and bubble wrap. Let's chop chop and start the show.

Yes, hi, and hello, and welcome to Super Bowl 60, my fellow football Americans. Welcome to Football America. We're presented as ever by our pals at DraftKings. DraftKings, the crown is yours. Hawks, Pats, Super Bowl XLIX sequel. Get ready for lots and lots of references to Malcolm Butler. Get ready, San Francisco and Santa Clara.

How did Sam Darnold's performance impact his reputation?

Dave Dameshek 2:39
We're on our way up there in about a week from now. Be on the lookout for me at media night. The opening night is what they call it. I have some questions to ask the Seahawks and Patriots players. One reference here. for you about the Football America YouTube page. In between shoveling the snow or whatever else you're doing, please be a dear, subscribe, spread the good word on Football America. We enjoy the conversation in the comment section on YouTube and or wherever you find your podcasts. We appreciate you subscribing. Be a patriot, not the kind with a capital P, although if you are with a capital P, we welcome you as well and congratulations. It's episode 46, the players who wore that best in NFL history.
Dave Dameshek 3:22
Tim McDonald and Todd Christensen. Andy Pettit wore it well in MLB. Two good ones, though, 46. First of all, Pete Johnson, who was the fat Bengals running back in the 80s. In 1983, he had three and a half yards of carry and 14 touchdowns. Then he left. cincy and an 84 for the chargers and dolphins how about this 87 total touches 12 of them touchdowns how does that math work he rushed for 2.4 yards per carry he was the ultimate goal line back and he was a slob on top of it it was very funny and also doug plank wore it for the chicago bears i bring him up because he is who the 46 defense of the bears were named after, and now the Patriots are back in the Super Bowl, and they lost Super Bowl XXII, the 46th defense of the Chicago Bears.
