Super Bowl LX podcast Rich Perez:

#1 How will Seattle’s strong defense impact New England’s offensive game plan? With the Seahawks finishing with one of the top defenses and limiting opposing offenses effectively this season, how might that affect the Patriots’ ability to score?

#2 Can the Patriots’ pass rush force turnovers from Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold? New England’s pressure rate has been among the best in the playoffs — will that translate into forcing mistakes in the Super Bowl?

#3 Which player(s) are most likely to make game-changing plays — and why? For example, how might Jaxon Smith-Njigba or Kenneth Walker III’s big-play ability influence the outcome?

#4 Will weather conditions at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara affect how the game is played? Forecasts indicate a chance of rain early in the game — what impact could that have on ball security and running vs. passing strategies?

#5 What historical significance could this game have for each franchise? If the Patriots win, it would be their seventh Super Bowl title and first without Tom Brady — whereas a Seahawks win would be just their second in franchise history.

Super Bowl LX podcast David Zizmor:

#1 In press conference with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said that adding an 18th game to the regular season is not a given and that the Players Assocation is opposed to adding an 18th game because fatigue and exhaustion from playing 17 games is enough.

#2 San Francisco running back Christian McCaffery said that the Pro Bowl that is scheduled with the Super Bowl would be good for the NFL. Saying that “flag football is growing internationally in so many ways to bring sport to life a little bit and watch some guys playing in the NFL do it.” The Pro Bowl was played on Tuesday this week inside the Moscone Center as opposed to traditionally being played in a stadium.

#3 Former Tampa Bay Buccaneer defensive tackle Warren Sapp said during Super Bowl week that there should be no tackle football for kids until their at least 14. Sapp is suffering from memory loss at age 53 and he is concerrned that CTE will be an issue for youth tackle football. Sapp said that he doesn’t watch eight to nine years old hit each other. Ironically the CTE Summit is being held in San Francisco simualtaniously with Super Bowl week in the City.

#4 Quick shout out to Kippu Sushi and Roll located at 1707 Buchcanan Street in San Francisco’s Japantown who sponsered this week’s Sportstalk remote David talk about your experience there this week.

Super Bowl LX podcast Jessica Kwong:

#1 How might the rematch narrative from Super Bowl XLIX influence this game?
This is a rare Super Bowl rematch — the Patriots beat the Seahawks in Super Bowl XLIX — and both teams have very different rosters and storylines this time.

#2 Who will have the greater impact: Sam Darnold or Drake Maye?
Darnold leads a dynamic Seattle offense while Maye has been instrumental in New England’s turnaround season — this battle of quarterbacks could decide the outcome.

#3 Can the Patriots’ defense slow down Seattle’s explosive playmakers like Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Kenneth Walker III?
With Seattle’s offense clicking and New England’s defense among the league’s best, this matchup is one to watch.

#4 Will the special “USA 250” patch worn by both teams add historical significance or distraction to Super Bowl LX?
Both teams are celebrating the United States’ 250th anniversary with a commemorative patch on their jerseys, which has generated fan discussion.

#5 Which coaching strategies will determine this game —New England head coach Mike Vrabel’s discipline or Seattle Seahawks Mike Macdonald’s defensive dominance?
Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel and Seahawks defensive guru Mike Macdonald each bring different philosophies, which could be pivotal in a close Super Bowl.

Super Bowl LX podcast Rich Perez:

#1 Will the Seattle Seahawks be able to overcome the Patriots and win their second Super Bowl title? Consider Seattle’s defensive dominance this season under coach Mike Macdonald and their Super Bowl XLVIII history.

#2 Can the Patriots win a record-seventh Super Bowl and establish a new dynasty under head coach Mike Vrabel? This is New England’s first Super Bowl since the Brady–Belichick era.

#3 Which quarterback will have the bigger impact on the outcome — Seahawks’ Sam Darnold or Patriots’ Drake Maye? Both led their teams to 14-3 records and have storylines worth debating.

#4 How important will the rematch factor be in Super Bowl LX, given that this matchup echoes Super Bowl XLIX (2015)? Does the memory of that Patriots win influence how fans and analysts view this game?

#5 Could the halftime show featuring Bad Bunny influence the broader cultural impact of Super Bowl LX beyond the game itself? (Hint: this year’s entertainment lineup is a major talking point for global audiences.)
