    AFC/NFC Conference Championship Instant Reactions: The Patriots & Seahawks Will Play in SB LX!!!!

    Sterling is live on site in Denver where he battled the frigid weather, frostbite, hypothermia, and a blizzard to see his beloved Patriots make the Super Bowl revenging the loss against the Broncos from 2016 that he was at as well. He is very happy (of course!!). Darren who is budgeting much smarter was not on the scene in Seattle to watch the NFC Championship and Greg is in Italy so we had nobody on scene to discuss the Seahawks vs. Rams game however we both watched it and we have takes. What a great game. Super Bowl 60 is set. We are getting a rematch of Super Bowl 49 but these teams are so much different. Enjoy a very fun episode of a very happy fella and a very supportive friend and co-host!
