Super Bowl LX - Seattle Seahawks vs. New England Patriots

The Super Bowl simply needs no introduction. It is, one way or another, the biggest event on the annual sporting calendar. Multi-million dollar advertisements, tickets in the tens of thousands of dollars and more, a half time show some people look forward to more than the football... and behind it all, you have two conference champions vying for the only things that universally matter in the game - the Vince Lombardi trophy, a Super Bowl ring and immortality.

Today, we focus on three main events of Jack's choosing - his favourite Super Bowl, his choice for the most important Super Bowl in history, and his greatest Super Bowl fairy-tale. Expect helmet catches, a league turned upside down, grocery store shelf stacking, and destiny fulfilled across the board.

Ben takes us on a preview of this season's event framed around the last time the Seahawks took on the Patriots, where the Seahawks famously did not run the ball and blew the chance to win back-to-back Super Bowls, a wound Seattle will be desperate to heal in Santa Clara on Sunday. And Jack, for one, very much hopes they will...

The Six Nations Series - Introduction

The Northern Hemisphere's biggest rugby competition is back. France, England, Ireland, Scotland, Italy and Wales will renew their decades long fight for European supremacy, starting with France vs. Ireland in Paris.

In this series we will dive into each of the nations histories in the competition, but for this episode we set the scene, talk about why we love the Six Nations, its past and what its future might hold.

Winter Olympics Series Episode X - Alpine Skiing and its Superwomen

We bring our Winter Olympics series to a close just in time for the opening ceremony, and finish with the true blue ribbon events of the games - Alpine Skiing, consisting of the Slalom, Giant Slalom, Super-G, Team Combined and, the crème de la crème of the winter games, the Downhill events.

The latter is designed to test the six core components of technique, courage, speed, risk, physical condition and judgement, perhaps none more so than courage. Athletes can reach speeds in excess of 150kph, injury (or worse) is never more than a moments misjudgement away. There is no test in sport like it.

We take a look particularly at the careers of two incredible women: Mikaela Shiffrin, arguably the greatest ever to strap on a pair of skis; and Ester Ledecká, the first person to compete at both Snowboarding and Skiing at the same Olympics - impressive enough, but what happened when she did is no less than extraordinary.
