Today's episode is brought to you by our lead sponsor, Crew. Hey, this is Joe at the Porover. Today, we're talking about the Seahawks winning Super Bowl 60, a ski crash and a historic figure skating flip during opening weekend at the Winter Olympics. Savannah Guthrie saying she'll pay the ransom for her mother, and other top news from Monday, February 9th. Stay informed while remaining focused on Christ with the Porover. Here's your quote of the day.

Does not the gratitude of the dog put to shame any man who is ungrateful to his benefactors? St. Basil. Let's get started with some espresso shots. The Seattle Seahawks got their talons on their second Lombardi Trophy after winning Super Bowl 60. Seattle's suffocating defense stole the show, holding the Patriots to 13 points while forcing eight punts, three turnover, six sacks, and scoring the game ceiling pick six. After a touchdown averse first three quarters, the game ended 29 to 13.

Running back Kenneth Walker the third, walked, I mean ran for 135 yards on his way to becoming the first running back to win Super Bowl MVP in 28 years. Meanwhile, Seahawks kicker Jason Myers' leg outscored both offenses and set a Super Bowl record of five field goals and two extra points. Companies paid big money, around $8 million to $10 million for 30 seconds, and the stars studded the screen. Bradley Cooper was Uber annoyed by Matthew McConae. Alexa decided to scare us. Lays made us cry. T-Mobile brought Backstreet back. Duncan brought sitcom royalty back. Guy Fierry unfrosted his tips, Wegovi gave us 35 seconds of side effects, and at least 10 ads pitched various AI products.

Puerto Rican pop star Bad Bunny hopped onto the Apple Music halftime stage as Levi's Stadium was transformed into Little San Juan, with guest appearances from Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin. Meanwhile, TPUSA's alternative All-American halftime show, featuring Kid Rock, drew 5 million viewers on YouTube. And in a sign of the sports betting times, Americans wagered a record $1.76 billion on everything from the game to the coin toss and the color of the Gatorade Dump.

Major cultural events like the Super Bowl often bring loved ones together. Whether you enjoyed the game with community, shared food, and robust laughter, or simply slowed down for a, quiet moment of rest, it's worth pausing to thank God for the ordinary gifts we easily overlook. Psalm 107, verses 8 through 9 says, Let them give thanks to the Lord for his faithful love and his wondrous works for all humanity,

for he has satisfied the thirsty and filled the hungry with good things. After opening weekend, Team USA is chilling with two gold medals. Alpine skiing veteran Lindsay Vaughn suffered a devastating crash 13 seconds into the women's downhill final. She was airlifted off the mountain with a broken left leg, ending her injury-plagued comeback attempt. Her fellow American Breezy Johnson took home gold, avoiding silver by just four-hundredths of a second.

On the rink, golden favorite Ilya Malanin landed the first legal Olympics backflip in 50 years, helping the stars and stripes narrowly overcome Japan for the figure skating team event gold. Demonstrations punctuated the fun and game Saturday, with thousands protesting the environmental and economic impacts of Italy hosting the torch. Six people were arrested in Milan when demonstrations grew violent, prompting police to respond with tear gas and water cannons.

Olympic athletes experience disappointment and failure more often than victory. For every gold medalist, there are dozens who trained their hardest and didn't make the podium. Believers in Jesus find purpose and hope beyond what we're able to achieve. Our identity is not wrapped up in our successes. It's found in seeking and knowing him. Philippians 3, verses 4 through 8 says, If anyone else thinks he has grounds for confidence in the flesh, I have more, but everything that was a gain to me,

I've considered to be a loss because of Christ. More than that, I also consider everything to be a loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus, my Lord. With over 1,000 translations in every type of decorative edition, it's easy to forget how many people can't even get their hands on a single copy of the Bible in their native language. This is why we've partnered with Crew. Crew has missionaries in almost every country, but they need more Bibles. One missionary said,

I have never seen such a thirst for the Word of God in my country. Let's quench that thirst. For just $24 a month, you can provide three people with Bibles every month.

Another bruise, here's a rapid round of updates. Today's show host, Savannah Guthrie said her family, quote, will pay for their mother Nancy's return.

Authorities haven't named suspects. President Trump faced bipartisan backlash after posting a video ending with the Obama's

depicted as apes. The White House first dismissed criticism of the video, which centered on 2020 voter fraud claims as, quote, fake outrage, but later deleted it. Trump said he, quote, of course, condemned the racist imagery, but said he wouldn't apologize because he hadn't seen the ending before a staffer posted it. Washington and Tehran are reviving diplomacy. Aiming for a nuclear deal, negotiators for the U.S. and Iran said Friday's talks in Oman were off to a, quote, good start. Uncle Sam is keeping non-diplomatic options open. Friday, the State Department announced new sanctions targeting

tankers smuggling oil for Iran, while U.S. warships remain parked in the region. Trumprx.gov is offering big savings on some prescription drugs. The new website points patients to government negotiated discounts on around 40 medications, including inhalers, HIV treatments, IV medication, and diabetes drugs. President Trump says the hub will save, quote, millions of Americans' money, though the benefits are limited to cash-paying patients, and some of the meds already have cheaper generics available. The Dow crossed 50,000 for the first time ever.

The index had its milestone moment thanks to a 1,200-point surge, 2.5%, on Friday, as the tech sector rebounded from a rough week of AI-driven sell-offs. The NASDAQ and SNP 500 both jumped 2%, and Bitcoin bounced 8%. Only Amazon seemed to miss the memo, sliding 5.6%. That's all we have for today. Thanks so much for listening, TPOFam.
