Seattle doesn't experience big moments the way other cities do. Here, history is always in the room. Host Danny Ball sits down with Seattle sports legend Mike Gastineau for a wide-ranging conversation on why this Seahawks Super Bowl run feels bigger than just football and why longtime Seattle fans instantly recognize the energy behind this team. From the echoes of the SuperSonics era to the heartbreaks and near-misses that shaped Seattle's sports identity, Danny and Gas connect the past to the present. They break down how this Seahawks team, led by head coach Mike Macdonald and quarterback Sam Darnold, has reignited championship belief across the city and why this Super Bowl moment feels different from past runs. The conversation stretches beyond the Xs and Os of the Super Bowl, touching on legacy, culture, and the emotional weight Seattle fans carry into moments like this. From the 95 Mariners to the Sonics' golden years, this Seahawks run fits into a much longer story, one where belief, resilience, and timing collide at the biggest stage in sports. This isn't just about a football game. It's about what happens when the Seattle Seahawks don't just win, but tap into shared memory, city pride, and the unmistakable feeling that Seattle knows this moment because it's lived it before.

We revisit our interview we had with Mike Felger // Need To Know: No surprise that Nick Emmanwori did not practice yesterday but he is expected to play on Sunday. The NFL Honors were announced and JSN took home Offensive Player of the Year award and Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel won Coach of the Year. Larry Fitzgerald was elected to the National Football Hall of Fame. // Brock gives us his six things that we need to be on the lookout for on Super Bowl Sunday // Blue 88: Brock answers the following questions: What is the biggest mismatch on the field on Sunday? What led to JSN taking home the Offensive Player of the Year? Who is the better duo, Mike Macdonald and Klint Kubiak or Mike Vrabel and Josh McDaniels? 

Nick Wright shares his best bets for Super Bowl LX between Drake Maye's New England Patriots and Sam Darnold's Seattle Seahawks. Will New England recapture the Super Bowl in Mike Vrabel's first season as head coach or will Mike Macdonald lead Seattle to their second title in franchise history? Nick breaks down his game pick, favorite prop bets, and more! #VolumeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This turns into a brutally honest Super Bowl rant. Forget style points or a classic finish. The only thing that truly delivers is watching the New England Patriots get dismantled. From Jets fan bitterness to why a lopsided game can still be wildly entertaining, the crew debates what fans actually want when hatred is involved. The conversation branches out into expectations for Seattle Seahawks dominance, rooting for Sam Darnold, and whether a comfortable win is more satisfying than late game drama. There is also a deeper look at coaching legacy with Mike Vrabel and Mike Macdonald, plus why this Super Bowl rematch feels nothing like the one from a decade ago. If you think every Super Bowl needs to be close to be great, this segment strongly disagrees.

The Seattle Seahawks enter Super Bowl Sunday as heavy favorites against the New England Patriots, and the confidence level among the 12s is high. The Patriots path to victory appears razor-thin, relying heavily on Drake Maye's mobility, hopes for multiple Seattle turnovers, and the chance that Jaxon Smith-Njigba can somehow be stopped by this New England defense that has only faced two of the league's best wideouts this season. The Pats offensive line faces a nightmare matchup against Seattle's defensive front led by Leo Williams and DeMarcus Lawrence. The Patriots postseason run—featuring wins over injury-depleted teams and bottom-tier offensive lines—pales in comparison to Seattle's gauntlet through the NFC West. Nick Emmanwori sustained an ankle injury this week, which does provide some concern for the defense. But we've seen how capable the depth of this defense was in dealing with Emmanwori's absense earlier in the season as well as the injury to Julian Love. Mike Macdonald should be able to plan around any limitations by the rookie defender. In an episode earlier this week, we enjoyed a guest with thoughful football analysis. In this show, we're getting into 'Know Your Rival' mode with one of the Patriots bitter rivals. Dolphins fan Sam Marcoux is back on the show to talk about everything we need to know about the Pats and their entitled fanbase.  Offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak's impending departure to the Raiders has loomed over the leadup to this game. What potential impact could it actually have in this matchup? The NFL Honors ceremony was happening as we recorded and Jaxon Smith-Njigba was the only one to be awarded one of the top honors -- offensive player of the year. We discuss some of the wildest narratives and idiotic lines of questions in the Do Better Segment. Better at life honors go out to a group of monks and their walk for peace as well as the NFL for sending our NFC West rivals into a dangerous country to start the 2026 season.

RUNDOWN   Mitch and Hotshot Scott open Super Bowl week pleading for the rarest gift in sports: a wire-to-wire Seahawks blowout with zero anxiety attached. Instead, they confront history, betting lines, and the uncomfortable reality that Seahawks–Patriots games almost never come easy, dissecting spreads, totals, MVP odds, and prop bets surrounding Sam Darnold, Kenneth Walker, and the Seattle defense. ESPN insiders Mike Reiss and Brady Henderson join Mitch to trace the improbable parallel journeys of the Patriots and Seahawks from offseason uncertainty to Super Bowl 60. Reiss details how Mike Vrabel reshaped New England's culture around connection and accountability, while Henderson explains why Mike Macdonald's Seahawks are thriving on trust, depth, and collective buy-in rather than star power. The discussion zeroes in on Drake May's health, New England's offensive line vulnerabilities, Seattle's defensive front, and why the Seahawks are favored — while acknowledging that Patriots fans view this matchup as dangerous, not nostalgic. Mitch and Jason Puckett wrestle with the strangest part of Super Bowl 60 week: the complete absence of a believable reason the Seahawks should lose. They debate conspiracy theories, historical heartbreak, and why this matchup feels more like a gift than a grind, with comparisons to past Seattle sports collapses adding a layer of unease. Mitch reconnects with Dave Grosby to reflect on a defining week in Seattle sports history, Grosby's decades-long presence behind the microphone, and his upcoming honor from the American Parkinson Disease Association at the March 14 Magic of Hope Gala. Grosby shares a candid, deeply personal look at living with Parkinson's, the lack of a cure despite years of advocacy and fundraising led by figures like Michael J. Fox, and why continued research is critical. Peter King joins Mitch to unpack the shock of Bill Belichick not being a first-ballot Hall of Famer, offering rare insight into how Hall of Fame voting dynamics, strategic ballots, and a flawed system can produce surprising outcomes. The conversation shifts to Super Bowl 49 memories, lingering fallout inside the Seahawks locker room, and why the Seahawks–Patriots rematch echoes past championship blind spots where favorites felt inevitable — until they weren't.

Jason explores whether Mike Vrabel, Mike Macdonald, Sam Darnold, and Drake Maye drove a stake into the heart of NFL black worship and idolatry. In the year of the black quarterback in professional football, white coaches paired with white quarterbacks dominated the NFL. Look no farther than Sunday's AFC and NFC Championships. Twelve NFL teams featured white QBs paired with white coaches. Of those 12, only the Cincinnati Bengals and Indianapolis Colts (with injured QBs), had a losing record. The combined regular-season record of those 12 teams was 134-70. Across football, it was a bad year for black racial idolatry. Deion Sanders went 3-9. Penn State fired James Franklin. Sherrone Moore torched his personal life and career at Michigan. Mike Tomlin exited Pittsburgh without a press conference and amid nasty rumors about his personal life. The regular-season win-loss record for black NFL QBs was embarrassing. And media race-baiters Stephen A. Smith, Cam Newton, Ryan Clark, Jemele Hill, and Josina Anderson made utter fools of themselves. Jason argues that "black culture" has baited too many black people to abandon winning Christian values for the losing values of racial idolatry. It's an amazing episode of "Fearless," with Steve Kim. ​​Today's Sponsors: Ghost Bed Sleep like never before on a GHOST BED! It's the most INCREDIBLE mattress I've ever experienced.

RUNDOWN   Mitch and Hotshot Scott react in real time to the Seahawks' thrilling NFC Championship victory over the Rams and the surreal reality of Seattle heading to Super Bowl 60 as betting favorites. They reflect on preseason expectations, the emotional weight of surviving the Rams for a third time, and why this team feels like it's peaking at exactly the right moment.
