At the Super Bowl, It’s Nice Guy vs. Underdog
For football fans nationwide, this year’s Super Bowl between the New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks is inherently exciting. For non-football fans like the Daily host Michael Barbaro — not so much.
In this episode of “The Sunday Daily,” Natalie Kitroeff — who is a big Philadelphia Eagles fan — makes it her mission to draw Barbaro and other non-football fans into the excitement and drama of this year’s matchup through storytelling. She talks with two reporters who cover the teams for The Athletic: Chad Graff, a senior writer covering the Patriots; and Michael-Shawn Dugar, who covers the Seahawks.
On Today’s Episode:
Chad Graff is a senior writer for The Athletic, covering the New England Patriots.
Michael-Shawn Dugar is a staff writer for The Athletic, covering the Seattle Seahawks.
