·1 hr 43 min·5 clips

Kimmi Chex says the Seahawks should “blow the Patriots out of the water,” then still took New England.

1. Pro Football Ireland’s Super Bowl Media Row episode centers on the Seahawks side of Super Bowl 60 and the Patriots matchup question. 2. Michael McQuaid, Mark Hogan, Jason Hayes, Colleen Wolfe, Kimmi Chex, Cynthia Freeland, Phoebe Schecter, and Sean Stellato are named as the on-air voices or guests. 3. The episode asks whether Seattle is as dominant as the Super Bowl hype suggests, or whether New England can turn the game into a tighter contest. 4. The hosts open with the atmosphere at Super Bowl Media Row, including Floyd Mayweather, Christian McCaffrey, Peter Herbstreit, and the constant noise around the venue. 5. They mention SBK’s 50% bonus on first touchdown scorer bets and note that the site price discussion centers on first touchdown picks like Stefon Diggs. 6. The conversation turns to Seattle’s roster, with Jason Hayes saying the Seahawks have the better team top to bottom but still warning against counting chickens before they hatch. 7. Mike McDonald’s second season comes up repeatedly as the framework for judging whether the Seahawks defense is proven enough for a title run. 8. The panel compares the current Seahawks defense with the Legion of Boom by breaking it into the defensive line, linebackers, and secondary. 9. Byron Murphy, Leonard Williams, Uvernus Jones, Bobby Wagner, Richard Sherman, Earl Thomas, Kam Chancellor, Brandon Browner, Riq Woolen, Devon Witherspoon, and Josh Jobe are all named during that comparison. 10. The hosts then shift to roster construction and discuss John Schneider’s offseason choices, including trading Geno Smith and moving to Sam Darnold. 11. They also discuss the move toward Clint Kubiak’s offense, along with the decision to become more run-first and to use speed additions such as Rashid Shaheed. 12. One recurring point is that Seattle’s offense changed because the team believed the old Ryan Grubb approach was too air-raid heavy and did not maximize Kenneth Walker. 13. Colleen Wolfe’s interview adds an off-field angle through Dublin, Copper's, and her friendship with Aisling O’Reilly. 14. Wolfe says Dublin felt tied to her grandmother’s love of Ireland and that she wanted to stay longer instead of leaving quickly. 15. She also says she would have assumed the NFL would go straight back to Dublin, then argues that a gap can make the city feel more valuable when it returns. 16. Wolfe says she would love to compete for Ireland in the Olympics and jokes about her figure-skating background before explaining that back injuries ended her skating career. 17. Kimmi Chex shifts the tone back to the game by saying the Seahawks look like they should blow the Patriots out, then explaining why she still picked New England. 18. The interview style is loose, conversational, and full of sideline references, with the hosts moving between media-row gossip and scheme talk. 19. People who like Super Bowl travel coverage, NFL roster debate, and guest-heavy interviews will get the most out of it. 20. Listeners wanting a tightly edited game preview without off-field chatter may skip it.
