    We do not own any rights to the photos used in this video What is up, everyone!? Welcome back to Touchdown and Ties. We’ve made it to the end of the season! We’re unwell and already counting down the days until September 10th. But, of course, we have to wrap up the season with our recap of the Super Bowl. The Seattle Seahawks came out victorious in Super Bowl LX. We touch on Sam Darnold’s comeback story from journeyman QB to Super Bowl Champ; the amazing defensive performances from both teams; and of course, the reason we all came, BENITO!

Bad Bunny's halftime show was a cultural highlight. Matthew Stafford's MVP win was well-deserved. Bill Belichick and Robert Kraft's absence from the Hall of Fame is controversial. The Lions are still striving for their first Super Bowl appearance. The season had its ups and downs, but overall was enjoyable.

    What is up, everybody?! There’s no football on this week; so, in this special episode of Touchdown and Ties, we like to call this segment “The Bye-Week.” Similar to “The Off-Season” once football season is officially over, we’ll be diving into other exciting events around the sports world. In today’s episode, Daddy and I recap the Australian Open where Elena Rybakina has her maiden victory down under and wins her second Grand Slam title, and Carlos Alcaraz accomplishes his career slam. We then move on to Michigan basketball who is having a hell of a season and has come out BIG this past week, taking down No. 5 Nebraska and ‘lil bro, aka, No.7 Michigan State on the road.
