The Gridiron and the Ice: Your Essential Super Bowl and Winter Olympics Preview
It’s the best time of year for a sports fan, and we’re breaking down the action from the gridiron to the ice! This week’s episode has the crew diving deep into the biggest game on Earth, the Super Bowl, while also shifting gears to get you fired up for the Winter Olympics. Before we get to the predictions, we’re kicking off with our “Bringing to the Bar” segment—and trust us, you don’t want to miss who’s invited this week, from a few coaching gurus to Roger Goodell and even the grandson of the Marlboro Man, Sam Darnold!
On the Super Bowl front, we’ve got a tight matchup between the Patriots and the Seahawks, and the debate is heating up. We break down why the defense and the run game—featuring Kenneth Walker and the New England running back duo—could dominate the conversation over the quarterbacks. Speaking of which, can Drake May shake off his late-season struggles, and will Sam Darnold complete his ultimate redemption story? Plus, the prop bets are wild this year! Find out who we’re putting money on for the National Anthem over/under, and get the inside scoop on the Bad Bunny halftime show, including rumors of a major surprise celebrity guest.
As one season ends, another begins! We dive into the upcoming Winter Olympics, which are back with NHL players for the first time in years. We run through the full slate of sports, including the bizarre new event, “Ski Mountaineering” (Ski-mo), that involves skiing up a hill. Get our picks for the must-watch American athletes, including alpine skier Lindsey Vonn and the incredible figure skater known as the “Quad God.” And if all that wasn’t enough, we dedicate a segment to the chaotic NFL coaching cycle, analyzing the winners and losers of the offseason carousel and debating how the Rooney Rule is really working.
