After 18 weeks of the NFL regular season, the moment is almost here. The Super Bowl represents the pinnacle of pressure. For the athletes that take the field, it's the moment they've been waiting for. The culmination of years of preparation for that one game. There is little margin for error and the moment is unforgiving. Yet, the psychological demands of Super Bowl game day aren't as unique as we think.

It's 3:30 p.m. on a Monday, and a group of 16 senior dancers are grooving on the court at Chase Center. They throw their arms up and down, give a high kick, bend over low, draw a half circle with their hips, pop up and snap their necks back and forth, their grey and white hair glistening under the giant spotlights usually reserved for Steph Curry and Draymond Green.

The biggest feeling is being grateful.

However, I find it perplexing that a player who appeared in only 78 and 136 games in 2024 and 2025, and who has had only one top 10 MVP finish (fifth in 2023) in his career, would be signed for a whopping average of $60-million annually. To earn that enormous salary over the next four seasons, Tucker should be considered the best player in baseball not named Shohei Ohtani.

"My heart starts to beat really fast when we're in that tunnel,"

The Seattle Seahawks defeated the New England Patriots 29-13 during Super Bowl 60 at Levi's Stadium on Sunday. Fans decked out in Patriots and Seahawks gear mingled near the entrances, while a heavy security presence could be seen across the area, including local police officers, FBI agents and members of the Department of Homeland Security. A capacity-crowd of 75,000 people eventually filled the stadium for the big game.

Another round of NFL playoff action has wrapped and we are officially down to a final four: One of these teams is going to win the Super Bowl, but all of them are going to be regarded in high esteem with having reached their conference championship games. As Dallas Cowboys fans we know full well how welcome even a conference championship game appearance would be, not saying that this is the standard, and all four of these teams have the most recent.

Instead, with the Seahawks trailing 28-24 and 26 seconds to play, offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell with the authorization of coach Pete Carroll called for a quick slant pass from quarterback Russell Wilson to wide receiver Ricardo Lockette. New England safety Malcolm Butler got there first with an interception at the 1. The Patriots (15-4) won their fourth of six Lombardi Trophies under coach Bill Belichick and quarterback Tom Brady.
