Super Bowl Hangovers, Olympic Hopes, and a Punch to the Post
If you missed the latest SMQB’s episode, you missed a wild ride through the current sports landscape. We kicked things off with a deep dive into the Seahawks’ Super Bowl victory over the Patriots. While some called it a defensive masterclass, others (we won’t name names) might have used the word “boring.” We broke down Sam Darnold’s poised performance versus Drake May’s “deer in the headlights” moment and debated if this Seattle squad is the start of a new dynasty or just benefited from some serious “injury luck.” If you want to know why the Seahawks might soon be worth $11B, you’ve gotta hear the full breakdown.
We didn’t stop at the gridiron, though. The crew shifted gears to the Winter Olympics, where the debate got heated over Lindsey Vonn’s high-stakes return to the slopes at 41. Was her crash an inevitable risk or a legendary effort gone wrong? We also celebrated the “Quad God” and shared the incredible story of a 54-year-old trial lawyer living out his Olympic curling dreams. Between the “Swiss dominance” in skiing and the US figure skating gold, there’s plenty of Olympic fever to go around.
Finally, we wrapped things up with a heavy-hitting “Punch” segment and a heartfelt “Pour Out.” We didn’t hold back on the “travesty” of the Washington Post gutting its legendary sports section, leaving a city with every major professional franchise without its premier reporting voice. To top it off, we paid tribute to the late, great Sonny Jurgensen, a true DC icon. From NBA trade deadline winners and losers to the official start of MLB Spring Training, this episode covers it all. Grab a drink and settle in—you don’t want to miss this one.
