I don't know about you, but I am so ready for Super Bowl LX. (60) I've had enough of all the drama and noise surrounding this much-anticipated matchup between the top seeds Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots.

Super Bowl LX kicks off Feb. 8 at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California, home of the San Francisco 49ers. The game will air at 3:30 p.m. on NBC, Telemundo, and streamed on Peacock.

This marks the third Super Bowl hosted in the San Francisco Bay Area and the second at Levi's Stadium. Super Bowl XIX was played at Stanford Stadium in 1985, when the 49ers defeated the Miami Dolphins, while Super Bowl 50 returned the game to Levi's Stadium in 2016, featuring the Denver Broncos' victory over the Carolina Panthers.

NBC's coverage of Super Bowl LX will be led by Mike Tirico on play-by-play, with Cris Collinsworth providing analysis. Melissa Stark and Kaylee Hartung will report from the sidelines, and veteran official Terry McAulay serves as the featured rules analyst.

The Seahawks, finished with a 14-3 record and are seeking their second Super Bowl title in their fourth appearance. They last won Super Bowl XLVIII during their Legion of Boom era. The Patriots, who finished with a 14-3 record and the AFC's second seed, are aiming for a record seventh Super Bowl title. They will be making their first appearance since the Tom Brady/Bill Belichick era after last winning Super Bowl LIII (53) in 2018. The two franchises previously met in Super Bowl XLIX (49), which was won by the Patriots.

For the Seattle Seahawks, a team coached by Mike Macdonald and led by the hot hand of quarterback Sam Darnold, this Super Bowl run has the feel of an underdog story, that brings no shortage of bite to the grandest stage in sports.

Once written off as a reclamation project, Darnold's journey to football's biggest show has been anything but smooth. He's played for the New York Jets (2018-2020), Carolina Panthers (2021-2022), San Francisco 49ers (2023), and Minnesota Vikings (2024).

Cast aside, doubted, and forced to rebuild his career, he found new life in the Seahawks system that asked him not to be a savior, but a leader. Along the way, Darnold rediscovered the confidence and command that once made him a top prospect, turning perseverance into production and skepticism into belief. Now, with a Lombardi Trophy within reach, his story has become a remarkable one of resilience, patience, and second chances rewarded.

Seattle's reputation for speed, physicality, and relentless pressure remains well earned, and this version of the Seahawks is no exception. They play fast and thrive on making opponents uncomfortable, whether it's a punishing defense or an offense capable of striking in an instant. Yeah, we Rams fans see you Cooper Kupp .

Seattle arrives at Super Bowl LX with the mindset of a group that expects to win, not just compete. No mystique, no flukes. Seattle is no joke, and they intend to prove it once more.

Standing in their way, however, are the New England Patriots, coached by Mike Vrabel and led by their 23-year-old gunslinger, Drake Maye.

The Patriots have been one of the biggest surprises of the season, a team transformed almost overnight by Vrabel's steady hand and relentless standard. They kept winning, week after week, defying expectations at every turn, and now stand on the brink of history with a championship within their grasp.

While everyone keeps asking who I am rooting for in Super LX. My petty answer would be no one since my Rams aren't in it. However, I love football, and this time I can appreciate the players even more. I haven't been a Seattle fan, since Russell Wilson, Marshawn Lynch and Richard Sherman were on board. And while Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski were always exciting to watch, I never was a big fan of the Patriots.

Quite honestly, not having any skin in the game makes for a less pressured experience. I can simply kick back and enjoy what I hope will be a great game. I definitely don't want injuries and questionable officiating to determine the outcome of Super Bowl LX. I would love to see a hard- hitting, high flying, action-packed showdown from start to finish. That's all I can offer.

However, N2Entertainment.net reached out to former NFL star turned actor, Fred "The Hammer" Williamson who is always gracious and eager to give his take. Williamson, 87, played for the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl I in 1967 against the Green Bay Packers. The Packers won 35-10. Williamson was also drafted by the San Francisco 49ers in 1960 and suited up for the Oakland Raiders and Pittsburgh Steelers.

"I would love to see a hard-hitting game, but I wouldn't count on it because there's not enough hitting in a sport that's all about hitting," said Williamson. "The NFL might as well just play flag football. And the officiating. Well, there were so many penalties especially during the championship games from facemask non-calls and holding violations. Even "catches" varied from play to play. So, you never know what kind of game you'll get."

Well, I'm not sure if Super Bowl LX will be an epic, hard-hitting battle, but I do hope the game exceeds expectations and is a real thriller. Then again, if it turns out to be a Super Bore, maybe the commercials will be fun and memorable.

Of course there is always the half-time show to look forward to. That is if you're a fan of multi-Grammy Award winner Bad Bunny. In addition, the Super Bowl LX pregame show will feature Charlie Puth singing the national anthem. Brandi Carlile will take on "America the Beautiful," and Coco Jones will perform "Lift Every Voice and Sing."

So, there will be a lot to take in prior to Super Bowl LX. NBC's coverage kicks off at 1 p.m. (ET/PT). The NFL Network gets things started as early as 7 a.m.

So, get the chicken wings, pizza, mimosas, ready. Cheers to a great game.
