Super Bowl'Week is. here With a Hollywbod~ storyline,
This game, on paper, favors the
son capped off by the biggest game
of the year: Super Bowl LVI.
The Los Angeles Rams face the .
Cincinnati Bengals for the Vince
Lombardi Trophy. From a regiOnal
angle, there is some rooting inter-
est, and there is no more a localstar
for me (regional for Mason County
residents) than Rams’ wide receiver
Cooper Kupp, a native of the Palm ‘
Springs or Washington (I don’t think
It’s almost the end of football sea-
, Palm Springs, California, is anything
like Yakima, but I have never been to
Palm Springs to confirm). Kupp went
to Davis High School,th my Wash— ~
ington State Cougars while playing
at Eastern Washington University
and has turned into a superstar in the
NFL. While I will. not be rooting for
AAID
MAN'S
MUSINGS
the Rams as they are the Seahawks’
NFC West rival, if the Rams do win, I
will be happy for Kupp.
Los Angeles defensive lineman
Greg Gaines and safety Taylor Rapp
played for the University of Washing-
ton, and punter Johnny Hekker was
born in Bothell. Cincinnati backup
quarterback Jake Browning also :
played‘for the Huskies. .
The Cincinnati Bengals are the
biggest surprise of the season. It’s
hard not to root for Cool Joe Burrow,
and rookie wide receiver Ja’Marr ‘
Chase has been sensational. Cincin-
nati features former Seahawks’ cor-
nerback Tre Flowers, who was waived
by Seattle in October. ,
I can see Cincinnati winning» this
game, having defeated the top—seed
Titans and No. 2 seed Chiefs to get to
the Super Bowl. The team on offense
and defense has stepped up in key
situations to get Cincinnati to this
point.
Rams, as the Little Creek sportska
will tell you —— they are a 45-point
favorite as of Tuesday. That makes
sense, giVen they have a formidable
defensive line in Aaron Donald and
Von Miller along with Gaines. On of-
fense, the Rams boast two solid wide
receivers in Kupp and Odell
Jr., and Matthew Stafford has played
well to get this team to the champion-
ship game. .
Outside of the game itself, I’m also
looking forward to the halftime show,
featuring all the artists I grew uplis-
tening to,-inclu‘ding Dr. Dre, Eminem
and Snoop Dog. I have seen
