00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,320
Speaker 1: Mike homegrin Chris collins Worth yesterday. Check this out.

2
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:07,440
Speaker 2: Chris is one of the great analysts and announcers in

3
00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:11,480
Speaker 2: the game. And I go back to my first my

4
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:15,200
Speaker 2: first crack at broadcasting. Wow, we did a Super Bowl.

5
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:17,439
Speaker 2: Chris was there, of course, doing the Super Bowl, and

6
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:20,560
Speaker 2: I was a newbie, okay, and I sat next to

7
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:23,080
Speaker 2: him and we did the Super Bowl in Tampa. Chris,

8
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 2: you remember that game? And then uh and then to

9
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 2: his credit, and I don't hold this against him, but

10
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,280
Speaker 2: he said, Mike, you know you're doing a good job,

11
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:35,160
Speaker 2: but I think you should stick with coach.

12
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 3: I promise you. I did not say it.

13
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:45,159
Speaker 1: I love it.

14
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:49,600
Speaker 2: Hey listen, great to have you on and nice, nice

15
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:52,599
Speaker 2: talking with you. How is are you surprised at all

16
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 2: that these are the two teams in the Super Bowl?

17
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 2: You've done a bunch of broadcasting all season long? Did

18
00:00:57,920 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 2: this surprise you at all?

19
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 3: It did?

20
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 4: But I will say about whenever. It was about mid season,

21
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:09,960
Speaker 4: maybe a little.

22
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:10,319
Speaker 3: Bit after that.

23
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:17,119
Speaker 4: We had Seattle in Washington, and when I was doing

24
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 4: the tape that I always put together tapes to preview

25
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 4: the two teams, and I came in our meetings afterwards

26
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 4: and I said, I think Seattle's going to go to

27
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 4: the super Bowl, And everybody went berserk. Everybody's like, get

28
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 4: what are you talking?

29
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 3: You know, one of those kinds of things, And I said, no,

30
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:44,040
Speaker 3: I go this defense has something going on. I mean,

31
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 3: they really do.

32
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 4: And even today as I'm studying getting ready for the game,

33
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 4: you can feel the intensity of that defense.

34
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 3: You can just feel it on every snap.

35
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 4: And I was trying to think if I were on

36
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 4: the other side of the ball, what would I try

37
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 4: to do to slow that.

38
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 3: Down a little bit? And maybe, you know, you.

39
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:09,359
Speaker 4: Go some hurry up, Maybe you try and not let

40
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 4: them substitute in and out because in some ways maybe

41
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 4: you've got to go reverses or something to slow down

42
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 4: the pursuit to the ball. But that is a hungry defense.

43
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 4: And I don't know if it's how they coach. I

44
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 4: don't know if it's you know, the guys themselves, but

45
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,640
Speaker 4: I mean, it's really a privilege to watch them play.

46
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 3: It really is.

47
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 4: I've seen a few over the years that play with

48
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 4: that kind of intensity, but it's pretty special stuff to watch.

49
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 3: You know.

50
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 2: The defense in twenty thirteen has talked about a lot

51
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 2: in this city. Some people comparing the defense now to

52
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 2: that defense with Sherman and those guys. Is there a

53
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:57,640
Speaker 2: comparison or do you think this is a unique group.

54
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 3: It doesn't feel the same to me.

55
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 4: I can't even I don't know that I can really

56
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 4: explain why. But it feels like a group that is

57
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 4: sort of taken a blood oath together, you know. Or

58
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 4: they're like, look, if you are not on the screen

59
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 4: when that ball is when we tackle that guy, then

60
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 4: you know we're throwing you out of the club. We're

61
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 4: finding you fifty bucks. We're doing something. The passion with

62
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 4: which they run to the ball and make plays, And Mike,

63
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 4: I think the other thing that it does is when

64
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 4: you do that, it allows you to really poke at

65
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 4: the ball and try to strip it out because you

66
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 4: know that if you miss, somebody else is going to

67
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 4: be there and mate the tackle.

68
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 3: And they remind me a little bit, Mike.

69
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 4: Of the San Francisco defenses, you know, when like they're

70
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 4: okay missing tackles. Which is a weird thing to say,

71
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 4: but I think that that this bunch is so confident

72
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 4: in the pursuit that is going to be at the

73
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 4: ball that the first guy can take a shot and

74
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 4: really try to blow it up or try to strip

75
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 4: the ball and not worry about that person escaping and

76
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 4: you know, making a big run because the cavalry is coming.

77
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,720
Speaker 3: It's really a tribute I you know, to the to

78
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:29,160
Speaker 3: the to the.

79
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 4: Aiden Dirty, to you know, Mike McDonald, to you know,

80
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 4: John Schneider, whoever it is that put this team together,

81
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 4: that they play with that.

82
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 3: Kind of passion.

83
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 4: And the guy that I thought, there's a couple of

84
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 4: guys that stuck out to me on the film. One,

85
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 4: Nick Evan Worry, I thought played one of the best

86
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 4: games I've seen the defensive back play all season.

87
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 3: He's everywhere. He just it was spectacular.

88
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 4: And when he had to be in man coverage against

89
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 4: slot receivers, and you're talking about a guy that can

90
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:01,159
Speaker 4: play the edge, he can, he can set the edge

91
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 4: on the corner, he can be disruptive in the run game.

92
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 4: He can then go against your slot who probably is

93
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 4: you know, five ten and one hundred and seventy five

94
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 4: pounds and lightning quick and hold his own against that person.

95
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 3: I think he's really filled the gap.

96
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 4: And the other one that since the last time I

97
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 4: saw them drag Thomas and I don't know how he is.

98
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 4: I know he hurt his shoulder or something, but man,

99
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:30,720
Speaker 4: he was making some plays and and the more I

100
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 4: watch sort of the entirety of that bunch, I feel

101
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:37,279
Speaker 4: pretty good about him.

102
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I couldn't agree with you more the

103
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 2: as I watched them all season long. They're front four.

104
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 2: They don't need a bunch of guys to help them

105
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 2: rush the pass. No, they got four guys. But to

106
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,919
Speaker 2: your point, Chris, their secondary You've watched a lot of

107
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:58,559
Speaker 2: games where secondary guys are diving for knees and things

108
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,600
Speaker 2: like that. These guys come in and ready to tackle somebody,

109
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:05,799
Speaker 2: and I think that really helps the defense and they're aggressive.

110
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:06,279
Speaker 3: You're right.

111
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,719
Speaker 2: Listen, hey, Sam Donald, you know what he came and

112
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,839
Speaker 2: he's done a marvelous shop in my opinion. But my

113
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 2: opinion does it is not universal in this city. You know,

114
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,719
Speaker 2: everyone's saying, well, he lost those games. He threw four

115
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 2: interceptions against the Rams. He hasn't won the big one yet.

116
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 2: I go, how many games you gotta win?

117
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 5: What do you?

118
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:30,479
Speaker 2: What do you when you see Sam Donald? What do

119
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 2: you what's your takeaway?

120
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 4: Well, first of all, when you play quarterback, it doesn't matter, right,

121
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 4: They'll say you know, he doesn't win the big game,

122
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 4: so he win.

123
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 3: He just won the biggest game of his career and

124
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 3: was brilliant.

125
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:46,840
Speaker 4: Right, Well, he hasn't won the Super Bowl yet, and

126
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 4: guess what if he wins the Super Bowl.

127
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 3: Well, the really great.

128
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 4: Ones they they've won multiple super bowl It's the nature

129
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,720
Speaker 4: of the beast. It's the same thing with head coaches, right,

130
00:06:55,920 --> 00:07:02,159
Speaker 4: it's the same thing. But when he's comfortable, and you know,

131
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 4: I know Kenneth Walker split a lot of time and

132
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 4: with Zach Sharbona, but Kenneth Walker made some plays in

133
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 4: that game that were really special.

134
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 3: I mean making people miss.

135
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 4: And I know he's not the receiver that Sharvion A is,

136
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 4: but when you get that young man in space, the

137
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 4: you know, the one we all talk about was the one.

138
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 4: You know, he had the linebacker lined up and made.

139
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 3: Him completely miss.

140
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 4: But some of those catches that he made in the

141
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 4: flat and then made four people miss to pick up

142
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 4: a first down, those are game changing plays in the

143
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 4: Super Bowl. If he can do that kind of stuff

144
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 4: in the passing game and take a little pressure off

145
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 4: of Cup and JSN and you know, all those all

146
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 4: those different guys that they have.

147
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 3: That could be something really significant in this game.

148
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 4: I like, if I were the head coach or the

149
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 4: offensive coordinator, Clint or whatever.

150
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 3: And I saw some of those open field runs.

151
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 4: I would be like, all right, whether it's a screen,

152
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 4: whether it's a checkdown, whether it's a drawl, I just

153
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 4: want to get this guy the ball where there's a

154
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 4: little space on either side of him.

155
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 3: And I really think he could be the unsung hero

156
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 3: this time.

157
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 2: Well, we are privileged to have Chris Collinsworth on the

158
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 2: show with us today. He's going to be doing the

159
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 2: broadcast of the Super Bowl. And as I said, we're

160
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 2: still good friends. Even though he told me to stay

161
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 2: with coaching, get out of the you know, but listen, hey,

162
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 2: you like I know you liked DK metcalf, I mean

163
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:44,679
Speaker 2: we all did. And then when the Seahawks traded him,

164
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 2: I well, I will admit, I'm going, okay, now, who's

165
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 2: going to fill the gap here? Then you have JSN

166
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 2: two different you look at put him standing next to

167
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 2: each other, two different, two different guys. What do you

168
00:08:57,559 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 2: see from that young man?

169
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 4: But he's a glider, you know, That's that's what I see.

170
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 4: It's just and Mike, you know, one of the other

171
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 4: things that I'd say is, uh, we've seen guys Justin Jefferson,

172
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 4: Cooper Cup, JSN, guys that were known as slot players.

173
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 4: Right Justin Jefferson, I didn't even know he could play outside.

174
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 4: I studied him hard coming out of the draft.

175
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:30,319
Speaker 3: He was a slot guy. He was like Keenan Allen.

176
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 4: He kind of came off the ball about three quarters

177
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 4: speed and make the little move and I'm like, okay,

178
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:37,560
Speaker 4: there's a role for that, and he's a good player.

179
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 4: I never saw Justin Jefferson being what he is as

180
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 4: an outside receiver.

181
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 3: And I think maybe that those guys, if.

182
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 4: You learn the game inside out, right, if you learn

183
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 4: the game from the slot position, and you understand blocking

184
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 4: and hot reads and when your quarterback's in a hurry

185
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 4: and when he's going to have a little bit of

186
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 4: extra time and when you might have time to make

187
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 4: a little extra move on somebody, and you translate that

188
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 4: to the outside, all of a sudden, you've got this

189
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 4: slot mentality and the wiggles and the moves and like

190
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 4: like he just I don't know how to do it

191
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:23,320
Speaker 4: like this, like a championship snow skier or something, you know,

192
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:26,200
Speaker 4: going down and going in and out of the flags

193
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 4: and just and just like gliding. And when when he

194
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 4: does that, he gets deep and they're you know, everybody's

195
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 4: playing this too.

196
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 3: Deep stuff now.

197
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 4: And and he gets down the field and now he's

198
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:46,320
Speaker 4: running those those multiple move gliding routes against safeties instead

199
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:46,960
Speaker 4: of corners.

200
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 3: The rams couldn't stay with him. I mean, Cam Curl

201
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:53,200
Speaker 3: had no chance on some of those plays.

202
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 4: And then the other thing that I appreciate about him

203
00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:01,080
Speaker 4: as incredibly humble, faithful kind of guy, which is cool,

204
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:04,560
Speaker 4: but he really competes at the ball. You know, he

205
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 4: went up for that is a huge play. The forty

206
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:10,439
Speaker 4: yard post that he that he caught, you know, right

207
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:13,679
Speaker 4: before the half. And to go up and make that

208
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,839
Speaker 4: catch and know you're going to take the shot right, No,

209
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 4: you're going to take that hit.

210
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:19,200
Speaker 3: He's not that big a guy.

211
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:21,680
Speaker 4: And to go up and make him play like that

212
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:23,679
Speaker 4: in that kind of moment, he's you know, he's been

213
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:24,560
Speaker 4: doing it all year now.

214
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:29,680
Speaker 3: I don't think it's a surprise, but it's you know, it's.

215
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:34,719
Speaker 4: A rare guy that can do inside, outside, deep and

216
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:36,680
Speaker 4: be willing to take those kind of hits.

217
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 3: That's when he did the big stars.

218
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:41,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, he is a special young man. I will tell

219
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:43,560
Speaker 2: you that. And I like the fact you've talked about

220
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 2: his humility. Is he's he really is. He comes off

221
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:50,200
Speaker 2: as being really a good guy that way. Now we

222
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 2: have this, we have the game, and you have two teams,

223
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 2: and it seems the talk, of course, I guess you

224
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 2: could say it's Seattle talk that is not even going

225
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 2: to be close, that one team such has such an advantage.

226
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 2: Do you see an advantage over the other each other

227
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 2: at all on either side of the ball, or do

228
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 2: you think it's gonna be kind of even or is

229
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 2: the underdog really the underdog?

230
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 4: I mean, I told you before I picked Seattle for

231
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 4: a while back, So that's that was the team that

232
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:30,559
Speaker 4: I thought coming into about halfway through the season.

233
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 3: I obviously think there's some advantages.

234
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 4: That go the other way too. This is a team

235
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 4: that has a good secondary, they really do. They're gonna

236
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 4: be able to match up a little bit. I'm anxious

237
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:47,319
Speaker 4: to see who they're going to match or play against whom.

238
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 4: But Christian Gonzalez can play with anybody. This Marcus Jones

239
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 4: not only is he a tremendous maybe the best in

240
00:12:55,679 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 4: the league, kick returner, he's a very good slot. Small

241
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 4: could stay with Jasn. You know, he can hang with

242
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 4: Cooper Cup. He can handle that. But the guy who's

243
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 4: probably been playing even better, at least that I've seen,

244
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:14,839
Speaker 4: is Ben Carlton Davis on the other side. So they

245
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 4: can do what a lot of teams cannot do against Seattle,

246
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 4: and that's matchup I think fairly fairly well on the outside.

247
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 4: And then the other one that I think could kind

248
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 4: of level the playing field a little bit are Christian

249
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 4: Barmore and Corey Durden and Milton Williams, the inside guys

250
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 4: for the Patriots.

251
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 3: They are legit.

252
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 4: Milton Williams is not the biggest guy in the world,

253
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 4: but when he gets his little wiggle going, I think

254
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:47,959
Speaker 4: there's a case to be made that maybe he even

255
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 4: plays too much because he can get.

256
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 3: Worn down a little bit. He can get a little

257
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:52,440
Speaker 3: bit tired.

258
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 4: But man, if he just played on pass rush downs

259
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 4: and got inside against guards and centers.

260
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 3: He's a lot to deal with it. The other guy that.

261
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:04,959
Speaker 4: Kind of stuck out to me for them is this

262
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 4: Christian Ellis, and uh.

263
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 3: He's their second leading tackler. Don't know what splain status

264
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 3: is going to be.

265
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:17,719
Speaker 4: But uh, Christian Ellis is really a speedy linebacker.

266
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 6: Uh.

267
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 4: And he can he can make plays either as a

268
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 4: spy or he can make plays blitzing.

269
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 3: UH. And they do a lot of different things, you know.

270
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 4: They they'll stack those two inside linebackers, you know, right

271
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 4: over the center and make you make decisions. And if

272
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 4: he pops man, Ellis is on your quarterback so fast,

273
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 4: and of course you're you're still concerned about Sam. I

274
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 4: you know that if he if they could get that

275
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 4: kind of interior pressure, and I think that's where the

276
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 4: pressure will come. I feel pretty good about Seattle's two tackles,

277
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 4: but I do think that if you know, with with

278
00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 4: the players that they've got inside, the speed they have

279
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 4: with Ellis at the linebacker position, that the protection is

280
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 4: going to have to come from inside out.

281
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 3: Yeah.

282
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 2: You know, the they've played games lately, particular the RAM games,

283
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 2: they're kind of shootouts. Guys are throwing for three hundred

284
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 2: and fifty yards and thirty to twenty seven. You know,

285
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 2: everyone's scoring points. I don't see the Super Bowl that way.

286
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 2: I see it a little bit more. I don't know,

287
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 2: a little bit lower scoring.

288
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 4: In my opinion, I agree with you and I think

289
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 4: The concern for the Patriots is that, you know, and

290
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 4: we know the stat that they really didn't play in

291
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 4: many top defenses in the league during the course of

292
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 4: the season, but they got in the playoffs and they

293
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 4: went bang bang bang. You know, they went to the Chargers,

294
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 4: they went to the Texans, and then of course last

295
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 4: week against Denver, and those are three of the best defenses.

296
00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 4: And now they may be facing the best defense in

297
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 4: all of football. But Drake may has had a chance

298
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 4: to warm up to the task, right, So he's been

299
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 4: in the awful weather, he's been in a situation where

300
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 4: they couldn't get the edge blockers, edge rushers blocked on

301
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 4: the outside. They made adjustments to help Will Campbell, who's

302
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 4: their left tackle, to.

303
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 3: Help Jared Wilson, both of those.

304
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 4: Rookie offensive linemen on the on the left hand side.

305
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 4: You know, they brought Hunter Henry over and chipped off

306
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 4: all day, and they were much better.

307
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 3: In the game against Denver.

308
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 4: So they they've played, they've grown up, you know. So

309
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 4: I'm in the process of going back and trying to

310
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 4: watch every game that they played, but you can see

311
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 4: what I've seen, you know, at the end of the

312
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 4: year versus what we saw early in the year. This

313
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 4: is a team that's growing up and they're like Seattle,

314
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 4: they have a boss.

315
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 7: You know.

316
00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 3: New England started out one and two. I mean that's it.

317
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 3: They have one loss.

318
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 4: Two losses something like that. After that, the whole game,

319
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 4: the whole season. So it's a proud bunch. Mike Brabel

320
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:11,240
Speaker 4: is a tough son of a gun. They are passionate

321
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 4: about the way they play, They're passionate for each other.

322
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 4: They're completely unselfish. You saw the offense basically just turned

323
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 4: the game over to the defense in Denver and go, look, guys,

324
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 4: you know, go win it. We're not we are not

325
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 4: turning it over. I'm throwing this ball out of bounds.

326
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:33,200
Speaker 4: I'm running it every down the fourth quarter. And they

327
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:37,440
Speaker 4: did it. So it's a as confident as Seattle is

328
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:41,359
Speaker 4: on defense right now, the Patriots are that confident as well.

329
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:41,920
Speaker 3: Yeah.

330
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:46,359
Speaker 2: I couldn't agree with you more. I think you know

331
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 2: you you've been in Super Bowls and you've covered Super

332
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:53,159
Speaker 2: Bowls and the just the atmosphere. It's the biggest stage

333
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 2: and in football, and it's different. It is different. If

334
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:01,360
Speaker 2: you're coaching the you got two weeks to you've got

335
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:05,960
Speaker 2: other things going on. There are not many young quarterbacks

336
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,720
Speaker 2: that get to be starters in the Super Bowl, you know,

337
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:10,640
Speaker 2: And in fact, I can't even think of too many,

338
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:14,880
Speaker 2: going back to maybe Dan Marino, but you mentioned Drake

339
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 2: Maine now, just watching him conduct himself, I haven't seen

340
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:21,399
Speaker 2: as many games as you have, and I don't study

341
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:24,200
Speaker 2: it like you do, but he's an impressive young guy.

342
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 2: But he is a young guy. Do you think you'll

343
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 2: be able to handle this well this week?

344
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 4: I don't think anybody knows how anybody is going to

345
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 4: handle it until you get in the Super Bowl, right,

346
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:42,159
Speaker 4: I mean, when you walk out on that field. I

347
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:45,360
Speaker 4: still remember being out there and lining.

348
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 3: Up for the national anthem.

349
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:53,919
Speaker 4: And down our sideline came Diana Ross. And that was

350
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 4: when Diana Ross was Diana Ross, you know what I mean,

351
00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:00,880
Speaker 4: and beautiful lady, and she walked in front of our

352
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 4: entire team, and I know, for at least the next

353
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:07,680
Speaker 4: four minutes of that game, we were not focused on football.

354
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 3: Wow, we came out and.

355
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 4: We lost the first half by twenty to nothing. And

356
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:14,160
Speaker 4: I still blame Diana Ross. I think if she'da warded

357
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 4: down San Francisco's sideline.

358
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 3: We'd end up winning that game. It's just my opinion,

359
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 3: but that's where I'm going.

360
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 1: So it sounds Chris, Chris, it's softy back here, and

361
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:24,440
Speaker 1: Mike would never say this, so I will. It sounds

362
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:27,160
Speaker 1: like the key for the Hawks maybe to bring Sidney

363
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:30,200
Speaker 1: Sweetey down to the sideline before the game and get

364
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 1: the Patriots maybe a little bit distracted for this one.

365
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:37,159
Speaker 1: Uh But Chris, I'm just curious your take on this.

366
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 1: And Mike would never say this about himself because he's

367
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 1: a humble guy, so I'll say it for him. The fact, Chris,

368
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 1: that I'm sitting next to Mike Homgrin here at this

369
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 1: bar in Bellevue and this guy's not in the Hall

370
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 1: of Fame yet is an absolute joke. And it's been

371
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 1: a joke for a long time. And now we have

372
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:55,480
Speaker 1: this controversy with Bill Belichick. Writers are revealing their votes

373
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:58,880
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame, putting statements out. It's unlike anything we've

374
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:01,960
Speaker 1: ever seen from the Hall of Right. So what's your reaction.

375
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 1: What was your take to not just the story leaking,

376
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:06,879
Speaker 1: but also Bill not making the Hall of Fame in

377
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 1: your one?

378
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:12,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think my first thought was, why do we

379
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:16,399
Speaker 4: have a Hall of fame, right, I mean, And the

380
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:20,480
Speaker 4: hard part is that I think that the people who

381
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 4: lived it, who's been around it their whole life, who

382
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:24,960
Speaker 4: played it, who coached it, they.

383
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 3: Know, I mean, anything Mike or Bill.

384
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 4: Belichick needs somebody to tell them they're Hall of Fame coach.

385
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:34,720
Speaker 3: You know. I don't.

386
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 4: Maybe, I'm sure it's nice, and I wouldn't begrudge that

387
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 4: of anybody, But I mean, we know everybody, everybody who

388
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:45,120
Speaker 4: was inside out.

389
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 3: On the game.

390
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:50,919
Speaker 4: They know who were the innovators who created the stuff

391
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:53,879
Speaker 4: that nobody could figure out, who once they did figure

392
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 4: it out, they changed to something else.

393
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:59,919
Speaker 3: That they couldn't figure out. So it's I don't know.

394
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 4: I try not to get too worked up about it

395
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:04,840
Speaker 4: because then somebody will ask me this question and I'll

396
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:06,480
Speaker 4: say something stupid and.

397
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 3: I'll end up in the headlines.

398
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:10,200
Speaker 4: And I would really like to avoid that at least

399
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 4: for a little while till Sunday anyway, But it is,

400
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 4: it's a it's a silly process.

401
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 3: I'm just gonna stop there, gotcha.

402
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 2: Well, Hey, listen, this is this is fun for me

403
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:27,479
Speaker 2: because I enjoy watching you on TV and we do

404
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 2: have some good memories together. So I just thank Chris

00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 6: Does not get better than that.

413
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:54,640
Speaker 1: He's calling the game on Sunday for Mike with Mike

414
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:57,359
Speaker 1: Turrico for NBC, and he was on the call with

415
00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 1: NBC without Michaels during forty nine in Glendale. So hopefully

416
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 1: we'll have a little bit of a different ending after

417
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:05,920

440
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 3: Dick?

441
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 1: Michael Strahan joining Jason and Travis Kelsey his new Heights podcast.

442
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:11,439
Speaker 1: That's weak as the guy's talked about how they're all

443
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 1: rooting for Sam Donald because of his difficult journey.

444
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 3: I'm happy for Sam Donald. Oh yeah, so happy for that. Dude.

445
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:19,680
Speaker 3: Man I played in New York.

446
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 6: It's hard man, he comes here.

447
00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:24,399
Speaker 5: The third overall pick doesn't go well, goes to the Jets,

448
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:28,399
Speaker 5: gets beat down mentally physically, and then five teams in

449
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 5: eight years and everyone thinks he's washed. And then he

450
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:33,639
Speaker 5: goes to Minnesota, plays well last year, but then they

451
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:36,040
Speaker 5: get beat battling, they get beaten the playoffs, and they're like,

452
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 5: he's done.

453
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:39,560
Speaker 3: This guy can't play wat Seattle pay him all this money. Well,

454
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:40,399
Speaker 3: now you see why.

455
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:42,200
Speaker 6: You're always rooted for the guys that have been down out.

456
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:45,880
Speaker 5: That's the thing, his ability to take that heat from

457
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 5: everybody and still be the calm, cool, collected cant that

458
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:49,639
Speaker 5: he is.

459
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:51,440
Speaker 3: I've always been a big fan of his. Man.

460
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:53,720
Speaker 1: Well, it's very nice for those guys to say that

461
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 1: the average starting quarterback is making about what Sam Donald's making,

462
00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:58,640
Speaker 1: by the way, right, thirty five million dollars a year,

463
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 1: which is ridiculous. It's like guys, teach your kids to

464
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 1: throw football, they'll be ga jillionaires. But it's one of

465
00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 1: the reasons why the Hawks are where they're at right

466
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 1: now because of his salary. But look, man, the last

467
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:12,200
Speaker 1: two games, the guy has been unbelievable. Like we said yesterday,

468
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 1: they don't win those last two Rams games, Dick without him.

469
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:15,720
Speaker 6: You're exactly right.

470
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 7: I don't think this Super Bowl necessarily because of the

471
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 7: defense they're facing is gonna have You're gonna have to

472
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 7: put a lot of load on Sam Donald's shoulders. But

473
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 7: it can't be the game plan that we saw against

474
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:27,359
Speaker 7: San Francisco. You're not gonna win this thing thirteen to

475
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:31,240
Speaker 7: three by seventeen correctly. Hey Dick, did you happen to

476
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:31,520
Speaker 7: hear that?

477
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:32,600
Speaker 9: What's that?

478
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:32,880
Speaker 3: Dick?

479
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:33,200
Speaker 6: Today?

480
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:35,159
Speaker 1: On a wake up barstool on Fox Sports won, the

481
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 1: crew full of Patriot fans shared their continued doubts in

482
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 1: Sam Donald despite his performance in the NFC Championship game.

483
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 10: If Sam Donald shows up, which he has been doing,

484
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:48,199
Speaker 10: they're gonna have a lot better of a chance to

485
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:50,159
Speaker 10: win this game. But you never know with him. I'm

486
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:52,840
Speaker 10: still not sold. I'm still not sold on the old

487
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:54,000
Speaker 10: Sammy de with you.

488
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:55,800
Speaker 11: It's weird to say that with him going to the

489
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:56,560
Speaker 11: super Bowl.

490
00:24:56,320 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 12: But I know sol putting together the I'm telling you,

491
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:08,160
Speaker 12: I still think ultimate. Here goes OK, here's my problem,

492
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 12: DoD If Sam Donald doesn't play well in the super.

493
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 6: Bowl, he's still really good. I know, is awesome. God,

494
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:18,480
Speaker 6: who's the guy? I'm so with you?

495
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 1: I can't believe that I'm with you. I mean that

496
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:25,640
Speaker 1: is part of the deal. I'm glad those guys said

497
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:27,879
Speaker 1: that that. Hey look man, I mean it's possible the

498
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:30,639
Speaker 1: Patriots win this game and Sam Donald still plays pretty well.

499
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:35,240
Speaker 7: Right, Oh, that's a great question. I think win this

500
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:36,640
Speaker 7: game with Sam Donald playing.

501
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:39,480
Speaker 1: I mean, Drake May just beat Houston and the Chargers

502
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 1: in Denver. Albeit the Denver game was in the snow

503
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 1: and the Houston game was in the ring.

504
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:43,960
Speaker 6: Yes, but C J.

505
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:47,240
Speaker 7: Stroud gave the Patriots the ball four times. You're taking

506
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:50,480
Speaker 7: that scenario out because you're saying Sam Donald plays well.

507
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:51,400
Speaker 6: Let me ask you a question.

508
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:54,120
Speaker 1: Did Sam Donald play well in the Buccaneers game they

509
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:55,280
Speaker 1: lost thirty seven to thirty four.

510
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 9: Yes, So there you go.

511
00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:59,480
Speaker 1: That's one example of where Sam Donald played well. In

512
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 1: the Hawk's low watch.

513
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:04,640
Speaker 11: Drake May just go off like twenty eight of thirty

514
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 11: two for four touchdowns and four hundred yards.

515
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 1: Matt Stafford just did it. I know, I know, Drake

516
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 1: May is not not Matt Stafford a dick. To be honest.

517
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:15,399
Speaker 1: If Sam Donald plays whatever we think is well. I

518
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:19,159
Speaker 1: feel very good about the Hawks champions Increble winning this

519
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 1: football game. But I don't think it's It's ridiculous that

520
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:24,919
Speaker 1: Sam Donald can go out there and have a pretty

521
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:28,399
Speaker 1: good game and find himself on the wrong end of

522
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:29,160
Speaker 1: this thing on side.

523
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 7: Has there been another game the one that you cited

524
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:34,720
Speaker 7: we had four starters down on de rights? Well, has

525
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 7: there been another game where you would say Sam Donald

526
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 7: played well, right and we lost?

527
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:42,160
Speaker 6: Well, they've only lost three games? Okay, I mean that's again,

528
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 6: I'm asking again.

529
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:45,359
Speaker 1: I mean there's been games where they've he's played poorly

530
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:47,360
Speaker 1: and they've won, right, Yeah, no doubt.

531
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:49,160
Speaker 6: Has he played well and they lost.

532
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 1: There's only three examples of a loss. Two of them

533
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:55,320
Speaker 1: he played well. One he played okay, second one he

534
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:57,440
Speaker 1: was terrible. That's the Rams game when he threw four

535
00:26:57,480 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 1: picks in the third game he was twenty eight to

536
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:03,400
Speaker 1: thirty four, were for three forty one and four touchdowns.

537
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 9: Did fumble at the end of the game. People people

538
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:07,719
Speaker 9: blamed him for that.

539
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 11: I would just say this, how many times do we

540
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:11,360
Speaker 11: come on the air and say, boy, if I had

541
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 11: told you XYZ's gonna happen and then ABC happened.

542
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 9: We say that so many times.

543
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 1: He had a game last year with the Vikings, he

544
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:21,480
Speaker 1: was twenty two at twenty seven two fifty nine touchdown

545
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:23,879
Speaker 1: pick they lost. Had a game with the Vikings, he

546
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:27,160
Speaker 1: was eighteen to twenty five, two forty two touchdowns they

547
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:31,560
Speaker 1: lost last year. He's only lost six games in two years. Like,

548
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 1: three of them he played okay and they lost, and

549
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 1: the other three he played portal and they lost. So

550
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:39,480
Speaker 1: if we're just looking at the last six losses for

551
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:42,679
Speaker 1: Sam Darnold, yes, three of them he played well and

552
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:45,639
Speaker 1: they lost the game. But he's only lost six freaking

553
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:49,639
Speaker 1: times in two years, the guy who's thirty and seven.

554
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 7: For God's sakes, I'm trying to imagine a scenario after

555
00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:56,119
Speaker 7: the game where we're doing the postgame show and I'm like,

556
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:59,159
Speaker 7: you know, Sam really played well tonight, right, but we lost.

557
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 6: I have a hard time wrapping my arm around that.

558
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:05,240
Speaker 1: Time, wrapping my arms around the Hawks, even being in

559
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:07,560
Speaker 1: this damn game. When they fired Pete Carroll two years

560
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:09,399
Speaker 1: ago and then went out and got Sam Darnold. Now

561
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 1: they're in the freaking Super Bowl. Dreams come true?

562
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 6: Boys.

563
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 1: All Right, Hey, Dick, did you happen to hear that?

564
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 6: What's that? Dick?

565
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:18,040
Speaker 1: Bill Pollyan, former NFL executive and current Pro Football Hall

566
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 1: of Famer, went on Serious XMNFL radio Wednesday to read

567
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 1: a written statement combating a report that his efforts kept

568
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick from making the Hall of Fame in his

569
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:27,399
Speaker 1: first year on the ballot.

570
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 9: I wrote this out.

571
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:32,359
Speaker 13: So I'm reading from the statement I voted for Coach

572
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:36,880
Speaker 13: Belichick in the Hall of Fame selection meeting. The Pro

573
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:40,600
Speaker 13: Football Hall of Fame has confirmed that fact through the

574
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:45,480
Speaker 13: auditors of the selection process. Again, I'll state that I

575
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 13: never said that I believe that Coach Belichick should quote

576
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 13: wait a year, a close quote for enshrinement. This has

577
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 13: been confirmed by the Pro Football Hall of Fame, numerous

578
00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 13: selectors who were in the room, and my vote for

579
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:03,480
Speaker 13: Coach Belichick. As a Hall of Fame member and selector,

580
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:07,360
Speaker 13: I realized the import of what we do. I've always

581
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:12,560
Speaker 13: tried as a selector to make these difficult choices with

582
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:17,040
Speaker 13: the utmost but objectivity. I've said on Serious XM Radio

583
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:21,000
Speaker 13: and numerous other media outlets that I believe Coach Belichick

584
00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:23,320
Speaker 13: to be a first ballot Hall of Famer. My vote

585
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:24,000
Speaker 13: confirms that.

586
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:27,440
Speaker 1: Okay, so two things. I know a lot of people

587
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 1: have criticized him for reading a written statement. He's eighty

588
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 1: three years old, all right, So I don't want to

589
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:34,480
Speaker 1: have a problem with that, nor do. All I want

590
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:37,040
Speaker 1: is the truth. Did he vote for Bill Belichick? He

591
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:40,240
Speaker 1: says yes, he's claiming the auditors confirm it that he

592
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:41,440
Speaker 1: voted for Bill Belichick.

593
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:43,080
Speaker 6: Here's the problem with this man.

594
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:44,920
Speaker 1: The Pro Football Hall of Fame just had a statement

595
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:47,840
Speaker 1: two days ago where they literally said anybody who reveals

596
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 1: their vote could lose their spot on the committee.

597
00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:52,440
Speaker 6: He just revealed his vote, Like you said, he's eight three.

598
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:53,160
Speaker 9: I don't think he cares.

599
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:55,200
Speaker 6: He's got to be done, don't He's finished. So here's

600
00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:55,720
Speaker 6: the good news.

601
00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:57,720
Speaker 1: This one will eave to maybe a widespread change because

602
00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:00,240
Speaker 1: all these guys will be gone, all these voters that

603
00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:03,640
Speaker 1: are going on the internet and revealing their votes. If

604
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:06,640
Speaker 1: the Pro Football Hall of Fame has any spine, they

605
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:10,160
Speaker 1: wouldhere to their own statement they put out two days ago, or.

606
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:12,400
Speaker 7: The Pro Football Hall of Fame will do the right thing.

607
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:14,800
Speaker 7: And that's what the Baseball Hall of Fame does and

608
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:17,120
Speaker 7: not care whether you reveal your votes or not, right,

609
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:19,360
Speaker 7: which is I think is what they should do. Yes,

610
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:21,320
Speaker 7: I like the transparency.

611
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:21,320
Speaker 6: In baseball, right.

612
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:23,160
Speaker 1: I don't like it when you don't find out who

613
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:25,640
Speaker 1: the one jackass was that didn't vote for Griffy. That

614
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:28,000
Speaker 1: kept them from being unanimous. But I think there's way

615
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:31,240
Speaker 1: more transparency is they're not in cooperbsolutely and there isn't Canton.

616
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:33,120
Speaker 1: All right, let's get one more ad, Dick. Did you

617
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:34,560
Speaker 1: happen to hear that? What's that?

618
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:34,920
Speaker 6: Dick?

619
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:38,920
Speaker 1: Legendary broadcaster Al Michael has joined the Dan Lebattard Show

620
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 1: this week and delivered a diagnosis of what's wrong in

621
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 1: sports media these days.

622
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:47,280
Speaker 10: What pisses you off the most about the way sports

623
00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:49,040
Speaker 10: media coverage has changed?

624
00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 14: I think right now, Dan, a lot of it is

625
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:55,800
Speaker 14: just how can I make noise? How can I be?

626
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:57,880
Speaker 14: You know, how can I yell? How can I scream?

627
00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 14: How can I get into an argument with people? And

628
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 14: you know, you see enough of these shows where to

629
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:06,160
Speaker 14: me to sum it up? I guess basically, I always

630
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:10,360
Speaker 14: say it's more heat than light, and sometimes it's old

631
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:13,120
Speaker 14: heat and no light. And I think that's the one

632
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:16,080
Speaker 14: thing that is so disturbing through the end of question,

633
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:20,040
Speaker 14: with the with the the internet now and social media

634
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:23,200
Speaker 14: or anti social media, it's like everybody hates everybody.

635
00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:24,520
Speaker 1: Well, first of all, I agree with them on the

636
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:26,640
Speaker 1: yelling thing, you know that, But I also think there's

637
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 1: a happy medium, Like, you know, you don't have to scream,

638
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:30,360
Speaker 1: but can you maybe raise it up a.

639
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:32,240
Speaker 6: Couple of notches when we're on the broadcast.

640
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 7: I mean, do you think he's trying to defend himself

641
00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:38,320
Speaker 7: for being so quiet and monotone on these bronckets?

642
00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:40,560
Speaker 1: I mean, last player of the game, Darnald back to bash,

643
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:42,560
Speaker 1: He's got a wide open Jackson Smith and Jig Bay

644
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 1: eighty yards touchdown.

645
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:45,000
Speaker 6: The Seahawks have won the Super Bowl?

646
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:46,120
Speaker 14: Right?

647
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:48,480
Speaker 6: Can you meet me halfway? That's all I want?

648
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:53,600
Speaker 7: Just he is, he's probably the goat, but yeah, I mean,

649
00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:55,680
Speaker 7: if you're going to be the goat, you got to

650
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 7: continue to have energy, if you're going to continue.

651
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:00,200
Speaker 6: To do the games.

652
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:02,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's never been very boisterous right now, No, but

653
00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:05,240
Speaker 1: now he seems like he's getting worse. I think he's

654
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:07,360
Speaker 1: doing that on purpose. He's like, you think I was boring,

655
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:10,880
Speaker 1: then watch this, which doesn't do whatever the hell I

656
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:13,560
Speaker 1: damn well want. I don't like the accommodation of him

657
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:15,560
Speaker 1: in herb Street by the way, on Amazon, what do

658
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:19,000
Speaker 1: you think I think Herbie is? College football bugs me?

659
00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:20,040
Speaker 1: I don't I don't mind.

660
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:23,280
Speaker 11: I don't mind Herb Street at all, Okay, Michaels, I'm

661
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:25,840
Speaker 11: getting used to it. At first, it was at first

662
00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:27,880
Speaker 11: it was weird having Herb Street on the Pro Game

663
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:31,240
Speaker 11: Pro Games, but I'm kind of used to it now.

664
00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:35,960
Speaker 1: I wish Harlan would do more national TV like Super Bowls.

665
00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:39,280
Speaker 1: And I know he does radio obviously, right, and he's phenomenal.

666
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:42,200
Speaker 1: I'd love to see Kevin Harlan call the Super Bowl

667
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:44,360
Speaker 1: for TV because he is.

668
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:46,080
Speaker 6: Does TV.

669
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:49,680
Speaker 1: He does CBS for the regular season for NFL Sundays,

670
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:52,200
Speaker 1: you know that, and it is tournament and he does

671
00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:54,760
Speaker 1: NBA and Amazon. But when the playoffs start, he goes

672
00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:55,920
Speaker 1: exclusively radio.

673
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:59,840
Speaker 11: So the Post Sands and Romo do the CBS Super Bowl, right, correct?

674
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:04,080
Speaker 11: So Jim Nance called it quits for the for golf,

675
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:06,040
Speaker 11: right right, the Masters?

676
00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:07,960
Speaker 1: So how not till like two thousand and eight?

677
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 6: Not forever?

678
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:10,160
Speaker 11: Yeah, he said deadline.

679
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:13,120
Speaker 6: I wanted to That's I.

680
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 11: Was trying to, like, you know, pick and say, Okay, well,

681
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:17,920
Speaker 11: if he's retiring from golf here, how he retires from

682
00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 11: the NFL here and then Harlan can take over for

683
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:21,120
Speaker 11: CBS here.

684
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:24,080
Speaker 1: Jim Nance has not retired from the Masters, and plans

685
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:27,680
Speaker 1: to continue as the lead broadcaster for CBS through two

686
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:29,000
Speaker 1: thousand and thirty six.

687
00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:34,200

714
00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:47,240
Speaker 1: But how about this sale report that came out today

715
00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:51,880
Speaker 1: from Seth Whippersnapper and Brady Henderson that when the Super

716
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:54,480
Speaker 1: Bowl is over, the Seahawks will be up for sale.

717
00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:57,440
Speaker 1: The estate is denying it, as if to say, no,

718
00:34:57,600 --> 00:35:00,560
Speaker 1: that's not going to happen. They are saying some point

719
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:02,960
Speaker 1: the team will be sold, but they're not ready to

720
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:04,520
Speaker 1: admit it's going to happen starting Monday.

721
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:06,880
Speaker 9: What do you know, Well, I wouldn't go saying that.

722
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:13,320
Speaker 9: The statement from Paul Allen Trust spokesperson spokesman was a denial.

723
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:15,399
Speaker 1: He just said it's not true. No, he didn't say

724
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:17,520
Speaker 1: that either. That's not that's not the text I got.

725
00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:21,120
Speaker 9: No, he said the team is not for sale, right

726
00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:23,960
Speaker 9: and forbade him by the letter of the law, but

727
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:26,959
Speaker 9: by the by the by the definition of the word

728
00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:30,400
Speaker 9: is present not sale for today.

729
00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:33,200
Speaker 6: The team is not for sale tomorrow, Okay, so you're.

730
00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:34,920
Speaker 1: Saying that it might be for sale nine days but

731
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:35,319
Speaker 1: not for.

732
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:38,400
Speaker 9: Sec And that's exactly what I took out of that,

733
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:42,560
Speaker 9: because not only did ESPN, here's what happened. So that's

734
00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:46,280
Speaker 9: let's go for the context seth Wickersham wrote the book

735
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:49,360
Speaker 9: on Bill Belichick and Robert Craft's Patriots. I'm sure you

736
00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:52,239
Speaker 9: talked about this, Oh, yeah, for sure. So he has

737
00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:57,040
Speaker 9: channels into the Patriots and around the league ownership circles.

738
00:35:57,080 --> 00:35:59,960
Speaker 9: This has been going on for months that the Seahawks

739
00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:03,320
Speaker 9: was going to come down eventually. What they've been waiting

740
00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:06,680
Speaker 9: on is the Blazer sale. And the Blazer sale is

741
00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:09,120
Speaker 9: now almost done, a couple months from being done, but

742
00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:11,399
Speaker 9: they have a buyer and a group for four point

743
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:14,320
Speaker 9: twenty five billion dollars. The owner of the Carolina Panthers

744
00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:18,000
Speaker 9: and the NFL has been waiting on the valuation of

745
00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:20,480
Speaker 9: that sale and the estate has been waiting on the

746
00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:24,120
Speaker 9: settlement of that sale. Meanwhile, the league and the NFL

747
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:27,680
Speaker 9: owners have been getting win that the next sale is

748
00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:31,040
Speaker 9: going to probably be the Seahawks. The Wall Street Journal

749
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:33,400
Speaker 9: was going to come out with the report when the

750
00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:36,759
Speaker 9: ESPN guys got word of it, and when Seth Wickersham

751
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:39,440
Speaker 9: got got a tip that the Wall Street Journal was

752
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:42,799
Speaker 9: about to break the story. He got his Patriots people

753
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:44,600
Speaker 9: and I, I wasn't told this, but we can put

754
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:48,080
Speaker 9: the dots together. He got his Patriots channels fired up

755
00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:53,160
Speaker 9: and they break the story. When I wrote the statement,

756
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:56,359
Speaker 9: I could go back on my show here in about

757
00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:57,880
Speaker 9: fifteen minutes with Jackson. I'm going to go into the

758
00:36:57,880 --> 00:36:59,680
Speaker 9: backstore and how this came about today because I got

759
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:01,759
Speaker 9: a call for New York from a business reporter from

760
00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:06,040
Speaker 9: some outlet i'll remain nameless, asking me about the ownership

761
00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:10,360
Speaker 9: issue and saying I should look into something. And I

762
00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:12,560
Speaker 9: tried to and was told the same thing I got

763
00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:14,480
Speaker 9: in my statement. The team is not for sale. Nothing

764
00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:18,359
Speaker 9: has changed. That does not mean it won't change after

765
00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:21,080
Speaker 9: the season, and the Seahawks and the ownership group in

766
00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:25,680
Speaker 9: the estate don't want anything to be distraction between now

767
00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:28,960
Speaker 9: and then. So that's where it stands for me. I

768
00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:31,840
Speaker 9: actually had to call my editors and say, no, this

769
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:33,840
Speaker 9: statement does because they put a headline on it that

770
00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:36,920
Speaker 9: said the statement was refuting or denying. No, they aren't.

771
00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:39,840
Speaker 9: The statement is just saying that the status quo is

772
00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:42,000
Speaker 9: status quo. And that today to see the team is

773
00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:45,080
Speaker 9: not for sale, but I have every reason to believe

774
00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:45,759
Speaker 9: it will be after this.

775
00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:48,560
Speaker 6: Okay, that's fair. Why was this released this one?

776
00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:51,120
Speaker 7: Well, that just to get clicks because it's Super Bowl

777
00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:53,280
Speaker 7: and the Seahawks are on the spotlight for everybody.

778
00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:56,479
Speaker 9: Well that's yes, But that's here's the interesting thing about

779
00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:59,880
Speaker 9: what's the tangible effect of the timing of this. The players,

780
00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:04,080
Speaker 9: the coaches don't care. The players contracts will the new

781
00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:06,200
Speaker 9: owner will take the contracts as they are, and the

782
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:09,560
Speaker 9: players don't change one bit. The coaching staff, i'm sure

783
00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:13,920
Speaker 9: will be assured. General manager John Schneider, I'm sure will

784
00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:16,200
Speaker 9: be assured that they will keep their especially coming off

785
00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:18,520
Speaker 9: of a Super Bowl season. Of course, no owner coming

786
00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:20,880
Speaker 9: in with no experience and owning an NFL team is

787
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:23,000
Speaker 9: going to clean house on the GM and the coach

788
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:25,759
Speaker 9: that just went to the Super Bowl. So the tangible

789
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:30,360
Speaker 9: actual effect of this is negligible. It's more of I

790
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:32,520
Speaker 9: would think what you just said, the attention is on

791
00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:33,399
Speaker 9: the Seahawks more.

792
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:35,839
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, but they would have broken that story if

793
00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:37,600
Speaker 1: this was Week four of the NFL.

794
00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:40,640
Speaker 7: If Yorks aren't in the Super Bowl. I'm wondering if

795
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:42,680
Speaker 7: they break it now or they break it clear they'll.

796
00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:43,800
Speaker 6: Break it when they find the news.

797
00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:46,319
Speaker 1: Well, if you're a reporter and you're being told the

798
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:48,799
Speaker 1: Seahawks are about to be put up for sale, you're

799
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:49,520
Speaker 1: going to report it.

800
00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:51,520
Speaker 9: They're not going to tell you that as a report.

801
00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:54,000
Speaker 1: Right, But how do these guys find out?

802
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:54,719
Speaker 6: I mean, just.

803
00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:56,719
Speaker 9: Because it is it is starting to gain.

804
00:38:57,239 --> 00:39:00,880
Speaker 1: But the insinuation is that Brady and Whippersnap put this

805
00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:03,759
Speaker 1: out now because it's Super Bowl. We know they think

806
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:05,600
Speaker 1: they put it out when they put it out, when

807
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:06,759
Speaker 1: they find the news they put it out.

808
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:11,040
Speaker 9: Well the Wall Street Journal, Yes, yes, but suffice to

809
00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:15,759
Speaker 9: say that the timing of this it is not a coincidence.

810
00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:17,480
Speaker 9: The super Bowl is next week in the Seahawks are

811
00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:20,440
Speaker 9: playing it, Let's put it that way. Yes, but this

812
00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:22,080
Speaker 9: could have come out two weeks from now, of course

813
00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:24,640
Speaker 9: after the super Bowl, and in fact, the league would

814
00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:27,480
Speaker 9: rather have come out because they hate this, right, They

815
00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:31,320
Speaker 9: hate coaching changes, they hate ownership issues, they hate anything

816
00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:33,040
Speaker 9: that has to do away from the Super Bowl between

817
00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:38,840
Speaker 9: the conference championship game and this. So, uh, the upshot

818
00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:41,080
Speaker 9: is the timing, because we all knew this was happening

819
00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:44,280
Speaker 9: right right, Yeah, there's nothing right.

820
00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:49,839
Speaker 1: Now, It's just it's an inevitable conversation, right correct, All right,

821
00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:50,200
Speaker 1: So what.

822
00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:50,640
Speaker 6: Are you doing tonight?

823
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:50,839

826
00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:57,520
Speaker 9: I don't know how much you guys have talked about

827
00:39:57,520 --> 00:39:59,040
Speaker 9: this the last couple of days. He made what might

828
00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:02,120
Speaker 9: have been the smartest play, certainly the most smartest impactful

829
00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:07,000
Speaker 9: play on fourth and four against the Rams. We're gonna
