Football Date Night: Wrapping up Super Bore 53 - a podcast by The Football Girl

In the final, Super Bowl episode of Football Date Night, Melissa and Dave close down the NFL season by recapping the Patriots’ 13-3 victory over the Rams and all the hoopla that surrounded it. Dave started by giving the unsung MVP award to Gisele because the one time CBS showed her in the broadcast clearly inspired him to (finally) throw a decent pass (1:30). The duo then broke down the actual game, including why it was such a defensive snoozefest, why Jared Goff played so poorly, why Todd Gurley barely played, and whether the aura of Sean McVay has faded (3:00). The duo then pivoted to the commercials (11:30) and the vanilla Maroon 5 performance (14:00). Melissa then discussed what the ratings for the game might come in at and praised the enthusiasm of her Uber drivers (15:00) and resilience of Tracy Wolfson (friend of the pod) for braving the post-game scrum to secure an interview with Tom Brady (19:00). Dave had a similar experience trying to get his bagel cut at the neighborhood deli (20:00).

After some relationship banter, the duo returned to the game to discuss how the game impacted Brady and Belichick’s legacies (27:00). Melissa then pondered what Patriots will do with themselves when the dynasty ends, though Dave didn’t care in the slightest (32:00). The duo then discussed Tony Romo’s performance and the insights Melissa learned during Super Bowl week about what makes him so entertaining (38:00). Finally, they ended by taking a look back on the first year of their Date Night podcast and what might bring Dave back for another season, framed by some sage words from the band, Semisonic (41:00).
