Seattle Seahawks linebacker Ernest Jones IV punctuated the team’s Super Bowl LX parade with a profanity-laced speech and a direct message to critics, according to reports from Fox News and other outlets.
Jones, 26, acknowledged he might not have been the ideal choice to address the crowd at Wednesday’s parade, stating, “Imma keep it a buck, I’m prolly the last person they should have gave the mic too, but we finna turn up man.”
The linebacker used the platform to praise key figures within the organization, including owner Jody Allen, general manager John Schneider, and head coach Mike MacDonald. He also offered a shout-out to his teammates, referring to them as “bada– motherf—— who play this game the right way.”
Following his praise of the team’s performance in securing the Super Bowl victory – a 29-13 win over the New England Patriots – Jones directed a pointed two-word message toward those who doubted the Seahawks. “F— you!” he exclaimed, as reported by Fox News.
Jones was a key contributor to the Seahawks’ championship defense throughout the season. He recorded 126 total tackles, half a sack, and five interceptions during the regular season, including one returned for a touchdown. In three playoff games, he added 25 total tackles, an interception, a pass deflection, and a forced fumble.
The parade followed the Seahawks’ Super Bowl LX win on February 8, 2026, in Santa Clara, California, where quarterback Sam Darnold threw for 202 yards and a touchdown. The victory marked a significant achievement for the team and its players, culminating in a celebratory parade filled with both joy and unfiltered emotion.
Adding to the celebratory atmosphere, Jones was also seen sporting an NSFW shirt commemorating quarterback Sam Darnold, according to reports. The image depicted an altered version of Darnold with a cigarette and a bottle of beer, flipping off an unseen subject.
Sam Darnold’s fiancée also delivered an emotional tribute following the Super Bowl win, further highlighting the personal significance of the victory for the team and its families.
