Thank you!That will do it for our live coverage of the 60th NFL Super Bowl,Another season is all over, but don’t worry fans, soon it will be draft time, then free agency, training camp, and before you know it, they’ll be right back at it, beating the living crap out of each other in the heat of September and in the chill of November,We can’t wait! From all of us at the Guardian, thanks for sticking with us, emailing in and following along,And wherever you are, good morning, good afternoon and good night,MVPKenneth Walker III is the MVP! It’s always a bit surprising when the QB doesn’t get it, but it’s deserving.

Walker was a steady source of output when this game was super tight and nobody could do anything.He kept the lights on and had a great night.Now Darnold, who could have also been the MVP for gluing it all together, speaks.“My teammates and my coaches.They believed in me…our defense man, hey 12s – make some noise for our defense!”Yes, Darnold plays it straight.

He doesn’t cry for Adrian.Pretty basic from the QB., but it’s his world and we’re just living in it.The Vince Lombardi TrophyThe world’s most beloved commissioner, Mr Big Check, hands off the silver to the brass- Jody Allen lifts it, as you do.“It’s truly been a magical season…I have to thank all the 12s.

” The 12s are of course, the 12th man, whose energy helped propel the Seahawks to another title.Now it’s Mike Macdonald’s turn – he was an intern 12 years ago – not bad.“I had 100% confidence.We have the best team”.I guess he’s right!Meanwhile the green and blue confetti continues to be sprayed.

How do they afford all that confetti?PostgameIf you’re not a Seahawks fan it feels anticlimactic, especially as another season is in the books.It’s always the journey anyway, isn’t it? There’s going to be a lot of pixels about Sam Darnold’s worst-to-first story, and why not? The former Jets first-round draft pick, once haunted by ghosts, was steady as she goes against a better than solid New England defense.Congratulations to him for sticking with it when virtually nobody believed in him.The next leap for him will be to become a franchise quarterback, the kind of player a team couldn’t think of not signing – I’m looking at you, Minnesota!So, who will be MVP? I am guessing it will be Sam, who is now the man.And the Seattle Seahawks have won their second Super Bowl title after rolling the New England Patriots behind a superior defensive performance, and error-free offense! Parade in the rain, anyone?Maye, ouch!He’s sacked again, but there’s an offside flag, so the total stands at six, after the sac on the pick six was deducted.

A great night for the D!Michael Dickson says g’day!The Hawks’ Aussie parks a punt inside the Patriots 5-yard line! That will brighten afternoons down under! The clock is ticking…we’re under a minute here.Seahawks 29-13 Patriots, 1:57 4th quarterAnd just as I write that, Walker runs for a 70-yard TD, but it’s called back for a holding flag! Surely that would have changed my view, but alas…Two minute warning.MVP?Aside from Myers, I guess it’s between Walker and Darnold.When this was a defensive game, Walker was the only one gaining yards, and he has 134 – not bad.But Darnold somehow got to 200 yards with a touchdown pass, and most importantly, he played mistake-free football.

That’s got to make him MVP, no?Seahawks 29-13 Patriots, 2:20 4th quarterGeorge Holani makes the catch, securing the football and the title! Yet still more gar-bage time to come.Seahawks 29-13 Patriots, 2:21 4th quarterSeattle calls their third timeout after having a look at the New England’s kick setup.Thanks.New England can’t convert! So here comes an onside kick.Maye is about to run, but he’s not! He flips it to Stevenson, who barely makes the catch and scores!Seahawks 29-7 Patriots, 2:28 4th quarterJohn Schneider, who heads up the Seahawks’ football operations is about to win a second title with a different coach, and that doesn’t happen all that often.

He’s in the gig 16 years, which is a lifetime in the NFL.Meanwhile, Maye has New England to the Seattle 7 after Diggs (remember him) makes a catch.Seattle calls time.Garbage timeOK, here comes extended garbage time and Maye tries to get out of this thing alive.There’s 3:36 left and the QB’s run was just cancelled out by a holding call.

That depends if NE’s defense can make a play.Can they make a play? Come on, make a play!EmailChristopher Lee says:“It felt like there would always be a ‘but’ that followed Darnold around if he managed to win a Superbowl without scoring a touchdown, so you have to be happy for him.

An amazing turnaround, you would have got huge odds on him throwing a touchdown in the Owl.If things stay the same, no idea who wins MVP - split if 4 ways for the Seattle D-Line?
