Who is the Reds player? I am a (worn down and depressed) lifelong fan, would be good to be able to have another reason to root for my team!


Oh, and I think the Seahawks win by 2 tds, but hope i am wrong

Finally, another Reds fan. Me too. First game I ever saw was at Riverfront against the Dodgers. Summer of 75 I think with those awesome Big Red Machine teams, and have been a fan ever since!
 
Fine with either outcome. Drake winning a Super Bowl in his second season would be a really cool story, but Boston fans have seen enough championships over the years so it’s always nice to see them get humbled every now and then lol.

Really just hope it’s an exciting game. I feel like there’s a chance the Seahawks could run away with it.

While it doesn't seem like Drake has not shared any public opinion about Trump, I remember reading a post on the old IC site that said his dad Mark and brother Luke were actually Trumpers. Have no idea how credible that is, or even if that's the case today - even if it was then.
But given Trump's friendship with Kraft, it's pretty much a lock that Trump will be pulling for Drake and the Pats.

Drake hasn't publicly “come out” as a Trumper, but sure is “spreading the good news” like an Evangelical from the South. For whatever that’s worth. Hope he’s a bit more like Billy Graham the original and not like Junior. Or as others have thought, hope he’s more of the Dean Smith-type Christian and not the Jim and Tammy Faye, Jerry Falwell, Maga-type variety. But all that shouldn’t matter in the Super Bowl. But I doubt he’ll sneak out of the locker room at halftime to take a peek at the Bad Bunny show.

I get it.

But as a Boston sports fan since the 70s (although I dropped Celtics fandom in the 90s), it is worth pointing out that Boston was perhaps the worst sports city until this millennium. The Patriots were Cleveland Browns level of futility for most of my life. The Bruins never won. The Sox never won except for 86, and then Buckner-ed it away.

Yes, they have had a disproportionate share of professional success this millennium (a championship in all four major sports), but their sports were really bad for a really long time before that.

are we just going to ignore the Celtics' 5 championships between '74 and '86?
 
Pulling for Drake Maye and Mack Hollins in the Super Bowl. I will be surprised if the pats get the win though.
