Speaker 2: In the Chris Westling podcast studio, it is Around the NFL.

4
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:17,840

00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 3: I like that.

9
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:32,320
Speaker 4: That's camaraderie and we're all bozos together.

10
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:37,280
Speaker 2: It is super Bowl Week. It's official. Yeah, and we

11
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:41,720
Speaker 2: could say that again after Greg went pretty deep in

12
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 2: the whole. Financially, it's got many mentions in Twitter that

13
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:49,240
Speaker 2: we didn't catch everything. Eric, you might have to funnel

14
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:52,840
Speaker 2: those misses onto your account. I think that's only fair.

15
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 2: We'll work that out financially. From our don't say super

16
00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 2: Bowl episode on Thursday, and it's been a very super

17
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 2: rainy Sunday into now Monday. So I'm glad that everybody

18
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:08,679
Speaker 2: got got here today.

19
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 3: From various points, it was dicey.

20
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 5: I'm glad I'm not living in the hallway or control

21
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:18,400
Speaker 5: room right next to our studio, which is just right now,

22
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 5: well hold on it.

23
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 6: So they yeah, they like literally opened the floor outside

24
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 6: the studio and they're fishing around with like a broom

25
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 6: to mop up batter and something. This is a low level,

26
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 6: hollowed out death star about to be shot into. Like

27
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 6: this building has always felt slightly fraudulent, and it's being

28
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 6: completely exposed, like we're three levels below the roof.

29
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 7: And it's leaking that what is happening concerning Also the

30
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 7: fact that water was coming through lights and there were

31
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 7: like dumpster sized containers catching the water and tarps everywhere

32
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 7: concerning reminded me a little bit of the Titanic when

33
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 7: the Titanic started to spring leaks.

34
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 3: But yeah, another monument to humanity that turned out to be.

35
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 6: A little like the most concerning element is that in

36
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 6: the very hard working people that you know deal with

37
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 6: maintenance and things here in their work seem to have

38
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 6: zero Like they seem to be in awe of what

39
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 6: is happening to the building.

40
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 4: But this is everywhere.

41
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 2: Right when you hit the iceberg, everybody's like, yeah, we're fine,

42
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 2: Wait a minute, what we went We never thought this

43
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 2: would have on single Molly Brown was like a we're cool,

44
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 2: let's go dansing soaculator, there's.

45
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,920
Speaker 8: Slides by me, There's there's a lot going on in

46
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 8: La like everyone everyone's calmed down with oh, it's just raining,

47
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 8: what a little rain, and like the whole city shuts down. Yeah,

48
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 8: because this area can't handle all of the water.

49
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 3: Gang So yeah, well I was accused of that. Well

50
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 3: that is and my wife on Sunday, Oh, I said,

51
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:45,080
Speaker 3: I looked on my window and it didn't seem to be.

52
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 5: That does depend where you are in some areas. It's

53
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:47,799
Speaker 5: totally fine.

54
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:49,959
Speaker 3: Think about this. They got this. This is sobering.

55
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:55,960
Speaker 2: My pool is getting very close to overflowing the coma.

56
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:59,799
Speaker 3: Like they're thinking about Just think about that. What happens

57
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 3: at the happens though, by the way, and that's what

58
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:03,399
Speaker 3: we're dealing with here.

59
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 4: You should be draining your pool before a big storm.

60
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 3: But Aquaman, I don't know. All right. This is also

61
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 3: hard to believe.

62
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 2: But is the been three years since Chris Westling left us.

63
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 2: This is the Chris Westling podcast studio. Chris was one

64
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 2: of the founding members of this podcast and our good

65
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 2: friend and passed away from cancer three years ago on

66
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 2: this very day. It's it's still hard to believe, greg

67
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 2: that that that he's gone at all, and that three

68
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 2: years have passed and yet here we are.

69
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 5: It's it's it's a tough time of year, I think,

70
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 5: with the super Bowl coming up every year when this

71
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 5: this date happens. But unlike you know a lot of people,

72
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 5: we have these these video recordings of our time with Wes,

73
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 5: and not that the podcast was our only great times

74
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 5: with Wes, but it is crazy to go back and

75
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 5: to listen to those at times like this.

76
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 3: I have an idea, well it was kind of Greg's idea,

77
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 3: but well take it as you're right. Yes, I think

78
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 3: Wes would appreciate it.

79
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 2: This is this is fun because yes, it sucks that

80
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 2: he's not with us, but it is great that we

81
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 2: have these memories that we could listen to and it

82
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 2: is super Bowl weak and it is Wes, you know,

83
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 2: from I guess it would have been about the twenty

84
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 2: fourteen super Bowl and the next five or six years

85
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 2: after it was it was the four of us doing

86
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 2: all those shows together. And and we are coming up

87
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 2: on an anniversary.

88
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:50,039
Speaker 3: Is it the ten year anniversary of this? Well, this

89
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 3: occurred after the twenty fourteen season.

90
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 5: So this would be yeah, nine years right now.

91
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 3: Yeah. So Chris famously had this.

92
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 2: He was an avid softball player both in at Tybee Island,

93
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,599
Speaker 2: where he lived before relocating to Los Angeles to take

94
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 2: the NFL job, and then of course here in LA

95
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,479
Speaker 2: where the Shield of the Company softball team went to

96
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 2: three straight title games, winning two Chips. Trophies are in

97
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 2: my attic every year when I go up there to

98
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,720
Speaker 2: get the Christmas decorations. There they are staring right back

99
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 2: at me. It's very nice. Makes me think of Chris also,

100
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 2: And so Chris, there was a two part situation one

101
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 2: year on the podcast. He said it was something about

102
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 2: the Raiders and how many wins they would get to

103
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 2: or something.

104
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 3: He was very down on the Raiders, as I recall.

105
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 5: The Dennis Allen Raiders that he did not believe could

106
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 5: get to eight wins. And now that you mentioned it,

107
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:44,160
Speaker 5: that would have been our very first season as the

108
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 5: round the NFL makes sense. That would have been the

109
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 5: twenty thirteen season. This super Bowl is capping our second

110
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 5: full season. That was c X Patriots.

111
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 3: There you go.

112
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 2: So Wes said, if the Raiders reached that benchmark, he'll

113
00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 2: eat his own softball fans. And it came down to

114
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:02,600
Speaker 2: the wire, but he actually ended up winning that wager.

115
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 2: He looked it right in the face and and ended

116
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,160
Speaker 2: up not having a Then he doubled down Chris and

117
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 2: the following year after your boy, Johnny Manziel Mark enters

118
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 2: the league as a first round pick and all the

119
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:16,039
Speaker 2: hype around him, Wes said, I again will eat my

120
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 2: softball pants if Johnny manziel is not the weak one

121
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 2: starter for the Cleveland Browns, which at the time, what

122
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:26,799
Speaker 2: Wes didn't know and what we didn't have clear idea about,

123
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 2: was like how much madness was going on beyond the

124
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 2: scenes with Manziel, which and they end up going with

125
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 2: Brian Hoyer to start that season. Anyway, so Wes loses

126
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 2: the wager. Cut to the Super Bowl Media Center in

127
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 2: where would.

128
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 3: This have been? New Orleans?

129
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 2: No, Arizona, Arizona, And guess what it was time to

130
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 2: pay the piper at that media center.

131
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 3: I'll never forget it.

132
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 2: They had a random we didn't know it was going

133
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 2: to be there, but a random hot dog stand in

134
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:54,599
Speaker 2: the middle of the media center.

135
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 3: And it was a twenty dollars hot dog.

136
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:00,279
Speaker 6: It was like a gourmet Well, although I thought I

137
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:03,359
Speaker 6: thought our producer had to go find it out on

138
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:04,599
Speaker 6: the town, it was no.

139
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 2: True, No, it was literally in the Media Center. It

140
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 2: was a twenty dollars. What we needed to do was

141
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 2: get the NFL to clear paying for the hot dog,

142
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 2: which was a chore back, like, oh my god, they

143
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 2: didn't want us do in the podcast, it was like, now,

144
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, here we go, they get the clearance.

145
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 3: Here comes. I think it was like a three foot

146
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 3: hot dog.

147
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 6: It was in that realm outrageous with all the pictures

148
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 6: hot dog.

149
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 2: So we decided the move would be to cut up

150
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 2: the softball pants and sprinkle it over the dog and

151
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 2: West because he was always a man that was good,

152
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 2: uh you know for his word ate up.

153
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 3: Let's listen to a clip from that show.

154
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 2: We will find out will Chris Westling eat his softball?

155
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 9: First time I've ever had heartburn before I ate something.

156
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 5: Wesling was seriously nervous. Later, we were doing some preparations

157
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 5: behind the scene with the softball pants. West is getting

158
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 5: a little I'm a little.

159
00:07:56,920 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 2: I mean he's eating polyester, zipper and other composite parts.

160
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 3: So we're just get ready. Wes's it could be dangerous.

161
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 3: I'm concerned for my friend and this openly sugar Wes

162
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 3: softball pants. It's literally minutes away. Now where's your where's

163
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 3: your where's your mind?

164
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 9: I think of everything I've consumed this week, softball pants

165
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 9: are not high.

166
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 3: On the list of most harmful my mind. It's really fair.

167
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 3: And he did true to his word. He took a

168
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:21,559
Speaker 3: couple of bites.

169
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 2: He took down the polyester, he took down the composite parts,

170
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 2: some zipper, and then I remember about still about eighty

171
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 2: seven percent of the hot dog left behind when we

172
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 2: just we were like do we throw it out to

173
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 2: somebody else?

174
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 3: That we just walked away.

175
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:33,680
Speaker 2: And there's a photo if you're watching on the Fast

176
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 2: channel of Wes at the moment of truth. A great

177
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,439
Speaker 2: one of a million great memories with Wes, and that's

178
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:40,840
Speaker 2: in terms of the Super Bowl.

179
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 3: That one's at the top.

180
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 6: We had Connor Or with us, and that was the

181
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 6: when they would do the radio row where we were

182
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 6: sitting up on a bigger set than they tend to

183
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:50,960
Speaker 6: have these days for our show. But like there were

184
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:54,320
Speaker 6: like sixty to seventy people standing there watching with no

185
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:57,440
Speaker 6: context clues of what was happening other than Wes eating

186
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,720
Speaker 6: a three foot long hot dog with composing parts in

187
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:02,679
Speaker 6: softball pants cloth on.

188
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 5: It, including Keith and Keith ANSAs.

189
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 2: My brother. Yeah, yep, they were right. If you look

190
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:09,200
Speaker 2: at that photo, if you bring it up again, that

191
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 2: was they're right there, there there, They're there. It's uh,

192
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:15,200
Speaker 2: it's incredible and uh the other fun part and this

193
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 2: was also part of the West experience. Obviously, if anyone

194
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:19,840
Speaker 2: listens to the show, you know something like this, I

195
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:22,559
Speaker 2: would be hyper invested in and be excited about the bit.

196
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 2: And I asked Wes like ten times. I said, Wes,

197
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:29,080
Speaker 2: you got to make sure you bring the softball pans.

198
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 2: Can't forget to bring him? We need the softball pants.

199
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 2: And then what happens once we get to Arizona?

200
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 3: I forgot him.

201
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 5: That was a.

202
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,559
Speaker 3: Different version of Wes back then on someone.

203
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 2: I think that's a good segue, and we did eventually

204
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 2: get them. But Greg, you pulled another clip too that

205
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 2: it connects a little bit.

206
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:46,560
Speaker 3: Of what you were saying.

207
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:46,719
Speaker 7: Mark.

208
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 5: The whole show is fun to listen to it. It's

209
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:52,559
Speaker 5: much different. We're much more concise. Maybe we had to

210
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 5: get out of there, but that show is under thirty

211
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 5: five minutes. We did like four segments. I brought up

212
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 5: to him because he suddenly was big on Dan Quinn.

213
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 5: I believe or maybe with Patriots, And I was getting

214
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 5: on him for falling in love basically with whatever team

215
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 5: that he covered for the week. Then he suddenly thought

216
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 5: like the people that that team was were the greatest things.

217
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 3: Ever, that's a fair point I credit.

218
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 9: I credit Pete Peril because I think he made a

219
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 9: lot of mistakes early in his coaching career. And I

220
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 9: don't know how good of a person he was, but

221
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:28,679
Speaker 9: he seems like a more self actualized individual.

222
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:31,200
Speaker 3: We learned it from his mistakes. You see a little

223
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:32,080
Speaker 3: of yourself in Pek.

224
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:34,679
Speaker 9: Now, I have never learned anything, and I'm not good

225
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 9: at evolving.

226
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 2: I wish I would to say I'm not getting dizzy

227
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:41,440
Speaker 2: right now because Wes conceded a point. Now, what you

228
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 2: said Mark connects for me is that Wes before he died,

229
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 2: absolutely evolved. A lot of that went back to Lakeisha

230
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 2: in my mind, and what a transformational effect she had.

231
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 2: But also it's not just a person entering his life.

232
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 2: Wes kind of made a concerned effort to evolve change.

233
00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 2: Not that that Wes was bad, but it was different

234
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 2: than the one that we knew before he got.

235
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:02,200
Speaker 3: So there were multiple Weses.

236
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:05,200
Speaker 6: And I also think like that so Greg, like what

237
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 6: that clip you displayed was because that was the version

238
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 6: of our show where I got tagged tracking the Patriots

239
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 6: all week and Wes had the Seahawks.

240
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 3: And so but there was a day we won't We.

241
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 6: Both bent went to Seattle like media media session and

242
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 6: sat and talked to dan Quinn for like twenty five minutes,

243
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 6: and like both just fell in love with dan Quinn.

244
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:27,079
Speaker 6: So I think that's where that was coming from. It's

245
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 6: like dan Quinn, I know today it's like, oh, it's

246
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 6: a bit of a boring hire by the command. It's

247
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 6: like dan Quinn dazzled in this like one on one,

248
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,199
Speaker 6: like hanging out with a couple of reporters and Wes fell.

249
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 6: Wes is not a hardcore journalist and in terms of

250
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 6: like a reporter person, and like he just fell for

251
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 6: dan Quint.

252
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:44,720
Speaker 5: You know what I think listening to this, which I

253
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 5: never would have remember, dan Quinn had read something Wes

254
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 5: wrote and told him, oh it's nice to meet you

255
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:54,839
Speaker 5: and mentioned how he had read. And so now I'm

256
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 5: rooting for dan Quinn.

257
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:58,319
Speaker 3: Now all right, Yeah we're all back in what a

258
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:00,120
Speaker 3: higher Yeah, we love it.

259
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:03,079
Speaker 7: When we were talking yesterday about things that we could

260
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 7: potentially do for Wes today. The softball pants for me

261
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 7: was like such a pivotal moment in like my friendship

262
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 7: with you guys, how much I wanted to be friends

263
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 7: with you guys. That was my first season at NFL.

264
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 7: And I'll never forget when he ate his softball pants

265
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:25,319
Speaker 7: and I remember specifically the zippers. Will just like stay

266
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 7: with you talking about the zippers, and.

267
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 4: It never left my mind.

268
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:34,960
Speaker 7: It still lives in the recesses of my mind somehow.

269
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 7: But it was like when Wes' is Toaster the softball

270
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 7: pants episode, when Wes was in Tybee and he.

271
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:45,079
Speaker 4: Called in from the bar. We called the bar and

272
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 4: he was, he was there.

273
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 2: It wasn't We always called him because part of the

274
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:52,959
Speaker 2: fund was tracking him. You would get you would get him.

275
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:55,559
Speaker 2: You would obviously get him at the bar huckapoos more

276
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:57,320
Speaker 2: often than not. But if you didn't get him at

277
00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 2: the bar, he was at the garage with Wayne and Rosie.

278
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 2: Really one of those two spots, yes specifically, and.

279
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,080
Speaker 4: He was in such his element.

280
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:09,319
Speaker 7: And in those early days we were taping all of

281
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:11,560
Speaker 7: those like random segments for NFL now and I didn't

282
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 7: get a chance to like truly see what Wes was

283
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:16,840
Speaker 7: until we would go and hang out off site and

284
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:20,559
Speaker 7: things like that. But that on those episodes, the TYPEE episodes,

285
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 7: he really was able to show all of the listeners

286
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:26,440
Speaker 7: like who he was, his true spirit and it was

287
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,199
Speaker 7: so beautiful to see and it was just so fun

288
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 7: to be around him, and I just missed him so much.

289
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:33,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, we all do. Like today I was thinking about,

290
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 5: like the best way we can honor him, Like he

291
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 5: always when there was a good time to be had

292
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 5: anywhere he was, he was going to make sure he

293
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 5: had it. So I think that that's the best way

294
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 5: to try to honor him today. Yes see that.

295
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 2: Yes, I was on this Pro Football Ireland did a

296
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 2: live show last week and they were at a bar

297
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 2: and as often as the case, I was in on

298
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:56,720
Speaker 2: zooms and I was talking to a bunch of Irish

299
00:13:56,720 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 2: people holding guinnesses and always asked about Wes Love getting

300
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 2: asked about West and he said, what is it that

301
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:04,559
Speaker 2: you remember about Wes And it was That's what I

302
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 2: thought of. It was like, I am personally someone who

303
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 2: likes to keep a smaller, tighter circle people. I have

304
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 2: people that are comfortable with, I have people that I like,

305
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:14,560
Speaker 2: which all you guys are included in that group, as

306
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 2: was Wes and.

307
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 10: Lakeisha and I, yeah, I just got in Wes. Wes

308
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:24,280
Speaker 10: was the opposite. Wes was like the more the merrier. Oh,

309
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 10: he was always comfortable no matter the gathering. So obviously

310
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 10: to lose somebody like that is unbelievable. You never kind

311
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 10: of you never kind of get over it because it's

312
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 10: he was like one of those one in a million

313
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 10: type people. And then when you have that person at

314
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 10: your life and then go the the immense, the immense

315
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 10: nature of the loss never really dissipates. But getting to

316
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 10: talk about him this way is it helps.

317
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 7: I'll never forget When I first started listening to the

318
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 7: ATM podcast, it was I was on the flight to

319
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 7: take the job to move out here to LA and

320
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 7: I started just like downloading as many NFL podcasts as possible,

321
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 7: and I just like list blew through all of your episodes,

322
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 7: and I remember thinking to myself, Okay, Dan is going

323
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 7: to be probably the easiest.

324
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 4: One to become friends with.

325
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 7: And and then I wasn't sure where Mark and Greg

326
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 7: fell yet, but I thought that Wes was going to

327
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 7: be the most difficult one to win over. And it

328
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 7: could not have been more of the opposite. When I

329
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 7: met you, guys, well, and we had a we had.

330
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 6: A like a truly if you'd write a book about

331
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 6: the whole thing of fortuitous encounter at the the Whaler

332
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 6: where it was just a random off season Sunday and

333
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 6: I was out with Wes, which you know the minute

334
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 6: football would end. I know he was the hardcore football

335
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 6: head and we missed his analysis. But like when the

336
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 6: football season went in, Wes would declare it, like make

337
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 6: a declarative statement of like football, check you later for

338
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 6: a little bit.

339
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 3: Of time here.

340
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 6: Oh, And he loved to go looking around LA for

341
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 6: something that felt like Tybee Island, and the Whaler, which

342
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 6: was an upstairs bar overlooking the sea, felt close to it.

343
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 3: And we were out there.

344
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 6: Having beers and you were there with Christ and your

345
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:06,640
Speaker 6: friend and your dad and your mom.

346
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 4: Huh.

347
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 6: And we didn't really know you at all, We had

348
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 6: never hung out and we I think that started this

349
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 6: idea of like, wait a minute, we should all be friends.

350
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 6: And like a week or two later, Dan was there,

351
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 6: Greg was there, like everyone was there, and it just

352
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 6: like grew from that moment and Wes I think showed

353
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 6: you how easy. It was, oh my god, like, there's

354
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 6: the West the football person that everyone listened to, and

355
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 6: then there's the West, the hangout person that's like, wait

356
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 6: a minute, this is a whole different universe.

357
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 7: Less and my mom were like beck as thieves immediately.

358
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 7: My mom was just like crushing Pete Carroll for some

359
00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 7: reason hated him, and Wes absolutely loved that.

360
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 2: I guess I kind of forgot about the Carol Westling beef.

361
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 2: But now this has all been brought back up. And

362
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 2: speaking of Wes program, note we had been taping these

363
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 2: over the course of the season, and now they're starting

364
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:53,640
Speaker 2: to roll out on NFL Plus, where we watched each

365
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 2: of the last five Super Bowls leading up to, of

366
00:16:55,960 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 2: course this upcoming Sunday's Super Bowl fifty eight.

367
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 4: Too many Roman numerals, well's it's enough already.

368
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:05,960
Speaker 6: We're done with ro never talked to a bunch of

369
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:08,120
Speaker 6: so many people agree with your Roman.

370
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 5: Thank you, We're done with it. We're not gonna yeah,

371
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 5: we don't know.

372
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:12,439
Speaker 3: The NFL's not there. We'll lead them.

373
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,360
Speaker 2: So if the NFL is not done with it, we're

374
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:18,679
Speaker 2: not done with We're back. Fortunately, we're back in. But

375
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:21,919
Speaker 2: we go through Yeah, each of the last five Super Bowls.

376
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:23,919
Speaker 2: You know, like we said three years ago today we

377
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 2: lost Wes. That also happened to be two days before

378
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 2: the Chiefs Bucks Super Bowl that year, So when we

379
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 2: go through that game, you'll see that on NFL Plus

380
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:33,919
Speaker 2: if you want to check it out.

381
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:36,120
Speaker 3: We actually talk about West. We play some.

382
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 2: A clip that Lakeisha produced about you know, the loss

383
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:42,879
Speaker 2: and the life that they shared together.

384
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:46,439
Speaker 3: So check that out an NFL Plus. All right, what

385
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 3: do we got going on today?

386
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 2: Yes, the Super Bowls this week, and it's a it's

387
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 2: a two it's a two week ramp up. We don't

388
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:56,440
Speaker 2: need two weeks. Like in terms of breaking down the game.

389
00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:58,480
Speaker 2: The game is the game. There are teams that we've

390
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 2: been watching all season long. We got the deep dive

391
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:04,440
Speaker 2: all through the playoffs. The two weeks is really about

392
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:07,480
Speaker 2: the NFL as the machine getting on the Death Star

393
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:10,200
Speaker 2: in place in Las Vegas. So I don't feel bad

394
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 2: if this show, for instance, doesn't hit it too hard

395
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:16,119
Speaker 2: because we're going to Vegas on Wednesday, and just so

396
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 2: everyone knows, we're gonna have a big lineup of three

397
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:21,199
Speaker 2: shows at Radio Row with a bunch of great guests.

398
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 2: So that's and We're gonna continue to dig into the

399
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 2: game a little later. Today we're gonna get Brian Baldinger,

400
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:30,160
Speaker 2: the Great Balding on the show. Yes, and we're gonna

401
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:33,120
Speaker 2: start digging into the game. But before that, we only

402
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:36,000
Speaker 2: have a finite amount of time with Colleen because Connie

403
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 2: Fox Listen, she's.

404
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 3: One of the faces of the network. And the fact that.

405
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:44,720
Speaker 2: We got her booked her today, the clock's already ticking

406
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 2: as a matter of fact. So why don't we move

407
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:51,880
Speaker 2: some things around and get into our first big subject,

408
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:55,359
Speaker 2: which is something we've teased for.

409
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 3: A while, the Top ten.

410
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 2: Radio Hall of the twenty twenty three hyphen twenty four season.

411
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 3: Now, this is a this is a big one for.

412
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:10,639
Speaker 5: I'm getting rid of hyphens too. Is this twenty three?

413
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 5: I don't care if it's not.

414
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:13,919
Speaker 3: It's like we're deep into.

415
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:14,720
Speaker 5: Now, to just make a choice.

416
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:19,120
Speaker 3: Eric, the producer who does great work. How are you Eric?

417
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 5: I'm doing good, guys, How are you? Eric? Are you

418
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 5: packed for Vegas yet?

419
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:27,880
Speaker 2: Well, I'm worrying about my pool swallowing up the rest

420
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 2: of my house right now, So that's kind of set

421
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 2: me back a little.

422
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:32,960
Speaker 6: Right I'm driving, so I just throw it in the

423
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:35,159
Speaker 6: back of a car and I'm leaving to park it

424
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:38,160
Speaker 6: underneath the l in the basement hotel.

425
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:39,960
Speaker 2: That's a long drive for the sess DOAG and it's

426
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:42,120
Speaker 2: got me a little noivous, I gotta say I did.

427
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:45,920
Speaker 11: I was partially surprised, but Mark is Mark's an outlier,

428
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 11: so when they when I heard about this, I was like,

429
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:48,920
Speaker 11: I could see it happening.

430
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 6: I think there's some fair concern on the part of

431
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 6: the league, but I don't think this should be I

432
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:54,120
Speaker 6: don't understand where they're coming from.

433
00:19:54,280 --> 00:20:00,640
Speaker 2: There's meetings, Eric, so you know the don't say super

434
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 2: Bowl show. Notwithstanding, I guess I messed up too. But yeah,

435
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 2: I guess I'll blew it. But if you could tally up,

436
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:09,640
Speaker 2: because I still have to share what we're going to

437
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:12,879
Speaker 2: do with with that slush fund, but I want to

438
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:16,119
Speaker 2: wait for some Randy Chevez to be right not here today.

439
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:17,720
Speaker 3: We need you.

440
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 2: We ask you all season to collect the calls that

441
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 2: we hear in real time on Sundays that really resonate

442
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:28,640
Speaker 2: with us and connect and we did some. It took

443
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 2: some time and made our own lists, and then it

444
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:34,639
Speaker 2: was up to Eric the producer to put it together

445
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:40,600
Speaker 2: in a top ten calls of the twenty twenty three season.

446
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:45,880
Speaker 3: Season. So let's get into it, Colleen, How what do you.

447
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:47,680
Speaker 4: Think I'm ready for it. I feel like there's a

448
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:50,879
Speaker 4: lot of pressure though for Eric always.

449
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 2: Never it's it's a lot of heat in that chair.

450
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:55,359
Speaker 2: It's a hot seat, it is. I mean, it's like

451
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:59,440
Speaker 2: spinal tap. They tend to disappear after a while, one

452
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 2: way or the other. We hope Eric will be the

453
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:03,120
Speaker 2: one that sticks around.

454
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:05,200
Speaker 11: Well, see how Vegas goes, guys, I might just stay

455
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 11: in the desert.

456
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:08,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, you know, you know what they say. All right,

457
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:08,959
Speaker 3: here we go.

458
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:12,200
Speaker 2: Any other anybody have comments before we move into this conversation.

459
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 3: I can relate to the staying in the desert comment

460
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 3: by him. So that's why we're concerned. That's why the

461
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 3: league is a concern about this Vegas trip.

462
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 12: For you.

463
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 3: That's a long drive for the Sustar.

464
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:22,440
Speaker 4: Can I put a tracker on your car?

465
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:25,240
Speaker 3: I know you've been driving more I haven't driving.

466
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 5: About how much is he actually driving?

467
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:27,880
Speaker 4: He's a really good driver?

468
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:31,879
Speaker 3: Right? Very Wait are you are you a front seat driver?

469
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 2: You're like the passenger in a two car journey with

470
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 2: the significant other.

471
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:40,119
Speaker 6: No drive in the same car. I'll drive as much

472
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:42,240
Speaker 6: behind the wheel. Sure, a bunch of the time.

473
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 5: Split it up.

474
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 3: That's how you do it. I think I don't split

475
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:45,879
Speaker 3: it up.

476
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:49,640
Speaker 5: Wow, I mean I live with them.

477
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:53,399
Speaker 6: I should drive the entire way, absolutely, I know, but

478
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:56,080
Speaker 6: I'm also preparing for a show and taking, you know,

479
00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 6: throw notes and researching.

480
00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 5: I mean, my lovely uh emic a wife doesn't literally

481
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 5: doesn't drive. I have to just drive to the grocery.

482
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:04,960
Speaker 4: I live in my car.

483
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:08,840
Speaker 2: Greg's wife is still mad that they moved to California.

484
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:11,199
Speaker 2: So her way of getting back, I'm never getting a

485
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 2: driver's license in Los Angeles to make your life twenty

486
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 2: nine percent.

487
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 6: That's a pretty like fantastic yes or no, piece of revenge.

488
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 4: What a plan by her.

489
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:25,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, she definitely would rather be in New York for Tokyo.

490
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:29,119
Speaker 2: All right, here we go, New York or Tokyo, not

491
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:34,160
Speaker 2: Los Angeles. Problematic. The number ten call of this season

492
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:38,640
Speaker 2: belongs to should I just should I set these up?

493
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:40,479
Speaker 2: I have the top ten here?

494
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 11: Yeah, you have the top ten, so I just want

495
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 11: to toss to and then you give them credit after

496
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 11: the end.

497
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:48,080
Speaker 2: Okay, The number ten call goes back to the playoffs.

498
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 3: And it was the dagger throw by Jordan Love.

499
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 13: First in ten football at the thirty eight of Dallas

500
00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:58,399
Speaker 13: play action of bootleg left half, boot legs.

501
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:06,399
Speaker 14: Right up but down the right side, must turns out, touchdown, touchdown.

502
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 3: Blue Mush Gray been a dagger, Hey, dagger like you

503
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 3: off Heart of the Cowboys. Great call by Wayne Laravie.

504
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 2: Of course a w R n W and credit to

505
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:23,399
Speaker 2: Fox too, because we're seeing if you're watching this on Fast,

506
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:28,680
Speaker 2: you're seeing a woman in Arlington at Jerald World just

507
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 2: throwing her arms up like I can't believe this is happening.

508
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:34,200
Speaker 3: The dagger just cutting through everyone in the in the

509
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:35,720
Speaker 3: town through the heart. Stunner.

510
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:38,760
Speaker 4: That woman makes this call so much better.

511
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 7: The cutaway shot of her, It all kind of like

512
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:43,479
Speaker 7: plays together and makes it perfect.

513
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:46,919
Speaker 2: Do we ding Laravie because he's not seeing that necessarily

514
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:48,200
Speaker 2: do anything overthinking?

515
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 5: This dagger through the heart is great and it was

516
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:51,960
Speaker 5: the last dagger of the season. I felt like the

517
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:55,680
Speaker 5: last two months every Sunday was some version of a

518
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:57,960
Speaker 5: different dagger, and this was the logical conclusion.

519
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 3: I like it. I need a little bit more in

520
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 3: general from these calls, so let's see what comes up. Next.

521
00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:06,080
Speaker 2: That's why I came in at number ten. And remember,

522
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 2: if some of these feel underwhelming, it's not because it's

523
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 2: not Eric's fault. It's because in the moment he said,

524
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:15,159
Speaker 2: we said to Eric, right, No, we want to make

525
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:18,520
Speaker 2: it clear. We say to Eric, put that in the folder.

526
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 2: So if Mark you're underwhelmed, maybe you should have said

527
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:24,240
Speaker 2: something in the moment, like don't put that in the fold.

528
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:27,880
Speaker 3: I add point the biler it myself. Number nine.

529
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:34,920
Speaker 2: Let's go to uh Tennessee, where the new kid quarterback

530
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 2: finishes off a masterpiece of a week eight performance.

531
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:43,440
Speaker 1: My second and eleven play fake let us rolling to

532
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 1: the right, looking looking firing deep that field, going for Westbrook,

533
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:53,359
Speaker 1: Akita in the intel taxstod tight Will Levis on his.

534
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 15: His back, gets to watch has he has just thrown

535
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:01,119
Speaker 15: his fourth tych Dad ass.

536
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:03,880
Speaker 3: I'm visited, bel Did you hey?

537
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:05,920
Speaker 5: That dude has got an arm?

538
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:08,879
Speaker 3: WHOA what a big time throw there?

539
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 2: It is for TDS, for Levis, Mike Keith with it

540
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:14,359
Speaker 2: called Dave McGinnis. I think part of the reason, maybe

541
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 2: on that one, Greg, that we were like put it

542
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 2: in the folder is because you were expecting, oh, this

543
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 2: Levis is the start of an every week occurrence. He

544
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 2: never did that again, but it was pretty awesome in

545
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:23,880
Speaker 2: the moment.

546
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,119
Speaker 5: I think just having Mike, if we went back and

547
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 5: listened to this year after year, like had a all

548
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:30,399
Speaker 5: time power ring because I feel like Mike, you just

549
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:31,639
Speaker 5: get a Mike Keith Collin every year.

550
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 3: You gotta get Keith in there.

551
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:34,160
Speaker 4: Mike Keith is awesome, all right?

552
00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:37,520
Speaker 3: Number eight? Okay, So Cowboys had a big year.

553
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:40,200
Speaker 2: Deron Bland had a big year, setting an NFL record

554
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 2: for pick six's.

555
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:41,719
Speaker 13: Uh.

556
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:44,080
Speaker 2: This was the point of the season where you began

557
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 2: expecting it and just saying when will it happen?

558
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 3: I believe this might have been the last one, but

559
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:50,359
Speaker 3: it was a memorable.

560
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:53,160
Speaker 2: One second and ten Jones is back plenty of time,

561
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:57,119
Speaker 2: rolls right, boggled up, throws back to that and intercepting

562
00:25:57,359 --> 00:25:59,040
Speaker 2: groan Blend call the.

563
00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:09,280
Speaker 3: House, Hello house, Hello house. Touchdown for the plane.

564
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:10,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's my favorite.

565
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 2: I was on the points because Mark. We were at

566
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:15,639
Speaker 2: Cowboys camp this summer. We met with Brad Sham, the

567
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:18,760
Speaker 2: sham god, who has a close relationship with Oliver Stone,

568
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 2: or at least was in a film of his, and

569
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 2: we had a long conversation with the sham God, so

570
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 2: to hear him and and.

571
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:26,920
Speaker 3: And and that call. I like that one well, And

572
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:30,159
Speaker 3: that happens so often for him to cover, and he

573
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:31,280
Speaker 3: found a new way to do it.

574
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 5: I don't think I don't think that was pre planned.

575
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:34,119
Speaker 5: That's why I love it.

576
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:34,960
Speaker 4: He's an innovator.

577
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:38,200
Speaker 3: Hello house, all right? Number seven?

578
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:41,199
Speaker 2: Okay, this one's a little bit controversial because you would say, oh,

579
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 2: it should always be some type of exciting call.

580
00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 3: But this was a call that took place in the second.

581
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:51,119
Speaker 2: Half of one of the most grizzly blowouts in NFL history,

582
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 2: and it happens to involve in the booth Matt Money

583
00:26:55,280 --> 00:27:01,119
Speaker 2: Smith and Bucky Brooks's podcast partner that they just launched.

584
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:03,240
Speaker 4: A shows his name God.

585
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:06,479
Speaker 2: I wish I could remember something looked that up at

586
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:10,879
Speaker 2: and with the Raiders at the goal line, here's the

587
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 2: call from Money.

588
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:13,480
Speaker 3: Have you decided whether you want to stand up or

589
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:16,760
Speaker 3: sit down yet? I didn't want to lay down under

590
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:18,639
Speaker 3: the desk and I was looking for a blindfold, but

591
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 3: apparently you can't do this shot with a born.

592
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:24,880
Speaker 16: No, we have to watch do our best to bring

593
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 16: you some entertaining play by play and analysis of what

594
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 16: has been wildly disappointing. Here's a double pass to the

595
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:39,120
Speaker 16: end zone, and hey, why not just humiliated.

596
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:43,200
Speaker 5: I didn't know this was eligible for some reason. I

597
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:45,159
Speaker 5: thought it was in some separate category. This might be

598
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:49,760
Speaker 5: my number one, but that's an Alzheimer. I want to

599
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:51,040
Speaker 5: save that for future youth.

600
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:54,560
Speaker 6: I am the nerd that drives around listening to AM

601
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:57,680
Speaker 6: sports radio in Los Angeles and Matt money Smith and

602
00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:00,359
Speaker 6: Petros like Hope, like they have a show that ranges

603
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 6: from like one hour to four hours depending on when

604
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:04,680
Speaker 6: the Dodgers player or someone else, but like Matt money

605
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 6: Smith is ready for anything, and like I think he's

606
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 6: got an underrated sense of humor, h sort of sarcasm.

607
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 6: And it played out right there, and it's like I

608
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:15,040
Speaker 6: love that kind of thing. I like when our play

609
00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:16,960
Speaker 6: by play, Like when play by play people are not

610
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:17,680
Speaker 6: just robots.

611
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:19,840
Speaker 3: There are a lot of robots. He's not a robot.

612
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 2: That's funny because I'm listening to that call. And did

613
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:25,680
Speaker 2: you know power Rings for a couple of years of

614
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:29,640
Speaker 2: Matt and got to know him, and he just sounds mad.

615
00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:33,200
Speaker 2: He sounds like like it's embarrassing for everyone. Like it's

616
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:35,680
Speaker 2: so it's so he's using it. Yeah, that type of

617
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:37,960
Speaker 2: zone there. But that is a team, Yes, that is.

618
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:39,960
Speaker 5: At level they're they're a part of the team. They get,

619
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 5: they get a super Bowl ring if they win the

620
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:43,360
Speaker 5: Super Bowl. And let's not they're mad. Do you get

621
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 5: points to critique, then it's not.

622
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:47,920
Speaker 2: It's not Jameis Winston, Uh, you know, and the running

623
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:51,240
Speaker 2: play with Jamal Williams, but Antonio appires calling a double

624
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:54,080
Speaker 2: pass to get to Ponta Adams a touchdown up forty two.

625
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:55,760
Speaker 3: Nothing. Uh, kind of flew.

626
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:58,040
Speaker 2: Under the radar a little bit in terms of Dick moves.

627
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:00,840
Speaker 2: But listen, but it got him a head coach job

628
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:01,320
Speaker 2: in some bar.

629
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:02,840
Speaker 4: Honey, just being like, yeah, why not?

630
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 5: Just so just sated, he said.

631
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:08,000
Speaker 2: Just humiliate them. I think he's talking about the booth

632
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:10,719
Speaker 2: as well. Just tough one, tough one. All right, all right,

633
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:14,560
Speaker 2: let's do something more positive for the Raiders. The Patriots

634
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:17,480
Speaker 2: pop up a couple times here, Greg and negative ways.

635
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:21,040
Speaker 5: But that's yeah, this is mac Jones's second total blunder

636
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 5: to set up an opponent.

637
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:24,720
Speaker 3: All right, here we go. How about we finished the

638
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:25,720
Speaker 3: song with the safety?

639
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:26,200
Speaker 12: Shall we.

640
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:30,720
Speaker 3: Anything but a deep bowl?

641
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 10: Bourd out Territory obviously, Jones standing in his own ends

642
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:37,840
Speaker 10: on to.

643
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:41,760
Speaker 3: Our right, snap back to pass pressure again.

644
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:46,400
Speaker 5: Off the edge, shack for the safety cross the Nichols.

645
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:50,160
Speaker 14: They note in the end they school stood.

646
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 3: To the turf. Have the Raiders defense?

647
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:53,800
Speaker 17: How's that safe thing?

648
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 3: Jason?

649
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:55,280
Speaker 12: Did you predicted it?

650
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:56,720
Speaker 3: How about you give me a lot of numbers for

651
00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:57,200
Speaker 3: that kid?

652
00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 2: David Harrowitz and Lincoln Kennedy with the call of a KRLV.

653
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:05,000
Speaker 2: You think, based on the first half of this top

654
00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:07,840
Speaker 2: ten that the Raiders are playing on Sunday, But that's

655
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:09,040
Speaker 2: not exactly what happened.

656
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:12,760
Speaker 3: But they had some exciting moments. Connie, any thoughts there.

657
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:15,640
Speaker 4: I just like how clairvoyant he was in the moment.

658
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 3: Bonus points for that.

659
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 5: I just like throughout the course of the season you

660
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:24,040
Speaker 5: could feel a catastrophic Mac Jones play coming, and then

661
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:27,280
Speaker 5: it always came. It's truly one of the worst quarterback

662
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 5: seasons from a quarterback. I feel like that we've seen

663
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:32,720
Speaker 5: be okay. Ever, I mean that that was an all

664
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:34,000
Speaker 5: time bad quarterback.

665
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:35,400
Speaker 3: There. Is he going to be next year?

666
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 12: Like?

667
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 3: What kind of market will he come out if he's

668
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 3: not with Is he going to be with the Patriots?

669
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:43,040
Speaker 5: I mean he has a contract under contract. Someone will

670
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:46,360
Speaker 5: someone give up a seventh round conditional pick and just

671
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:49,920
Speaker 5: to have a new start, I would think so like

672
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:51,600
Speaker 5: that drafted all right?

673
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 2: This next one I had slightly higher, but in the

674
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:56,640
Speaker 2: average weight it ended at number five.

675
00:30:57,080 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 3: The Texans and the Titans. And this one was on

676
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:04,240
Speaker 3: my radar and a lot of people.

677
00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:10,280
Speaker 2: I liked this one because I just the Titans had

678
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 2: the gall the gall yes, after ownership abandoned the city

679
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:18,000
Speaker 2: of Houston.

680
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 3: Abandoned them and went to Nashville, Okay, to then.

681
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 2: Have the absolute audacity to then wear a Houston Oilers

682
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:36,440
Speaker 2: throwback jersey for their throwback week when they're playing against

683
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:41,520
Speaker 2: the Texans, the team that replaced the Oilers after to

684
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:45,959
Speaker 2: borrow assessrism. They ripped the Oilers out of the belly

685
00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:50,120
Speaker 2: right to Houston. Terrible manners and they pay for it,

686
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 2: disgraceful to the highlight. Sixteen sixteen, two seconds to go

687
00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 2: in overtime, fifty four yard a tip left hash Mark.

688
00:31:59,080 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 3: Here's the snap.

689
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:00,600
Speaker 5: Here here's the spot.

690
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:01,960
Speaker 12: Here's the kick by.

691
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 6: Fair bearsod the Tuxads win.

692
00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:12,480
Speaker 15: Legendary fair Bear knocks it through from four.

693
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:14,480
Speaker 14: As the texaids defeat.

694
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:18,200
Speaker 3: Just farmer oilers. Put those uniforms back in the trunk.

695
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:21,520
Speaker 6: In the trunk, I think you want the voices of

696
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 6: your nineteen sixteen five to feel the same anger and

697
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:27,920
Speaker 6: fire and joy that you feel, and like they speak

698
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:30,400
Speaker 6: for the fans right there, and that one, I think.

699
00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 2: I had it ranked higher because of the Mark Vanderbier

700
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:34,920
Speaker 2: and Andre Ware with the call for kilt.

701
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:35,760
Speaker 4: That's what you get.

702
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:36,840
Speaker 3: That's what you get.

703
00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:40,560
Speaker 5: Are on the list because of the tag from the

704
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:42,480
Speaker 5: color analyst to cap it in the winter.

705
00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:45,200
Speaker 2: You're always gonna get bonus points when the color analyst

706
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:49,480
Speaker 2: goes full fan and just starts screaming. Celebration Number four

707
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:53,240
Speaker 2: all was a special second half for Cleveland Browns fans.

708
00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:57,240
Speaker 2: Is Joe Flacco stepped in and took the team to

709
00:32:57,360 --> 00:33:01,160
Speaker 2: the playoffs. Here was one of his many plays that season.

710
00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:04,800
Speaker 3: This Flaco on fourth down and three, play clock is

711
00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:06,480
Speaker 3: in five. I don't know if they're gonna snap it.

00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:09,200
Speaker 3: Play clock is at two. They do. He rolls right,

713
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:10,320
Speaker 3: he throws the middle.

714
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:12,560
Speaker 1: Its fine open down at the twenty five.

Speaker 17: Bell who has been searching, yearning, desire to get into

00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:56,040
Speaker 11: I almost there was a slight part of me where

729
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:58,680

735
00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:16,120
Speaker 6: back and just I think of all these guys, he's

736
00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:19,840
Speaker 6: got to be in a top three of enthusiasm that

737
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:22,720
Speaker 6: when something good happens to the Browns, like he cannot

738
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:25,160
Speaker 6: control themselves and there are incredible him and the girls.

739
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:26,560
Speaker 3: The girl also is like a ball of energy.

00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:55,320
Speaker 2: Karrigan gets whacked in the knee, yeah, you know, and

790
00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:58,280
Speaker 2: then I think it was Kwan maybe or no katterine

791
00:36:58,320 --> 00:36:59,600
Speaker 2: a vit maybe.

792
00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:03,360
Speaker 6: I refused to watch the event after Kerrigan was whacked.

793
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:04,920
Speaker 3: I thought that it lost all integrity.

794
00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:07,800
Speaker 2: Eric the producer, please look up who defeated Nancy Kerrigan

795
00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:08,480
Speaker 2: in the Olympics.

796
00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:09,680
Speaker 3: By fractions of a point?

797
00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:14,040
Speaker 7: It wasn't Lipinski yet, I don't think it is definitely

798
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:16,880
Speaker 7: after I think it was maybe Katerinovich. He was definitely

799
00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:17,439
Speaker 7: in the mix.

800
00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:21,080
Speaker 3: I don't think so either. But number two silver medal

801
00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:24,200
Speaker 3: goes to our buddy at the barbershop.

802

806
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:42,200
Speaker 15: Marcus Robinson with the go ahead score. Matthew Stafford play

807
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:50,360
Speaker 15: like an Ellipsis, Dots after dots after dot, touchdown Las.

808
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:55,480
Speaker 3: The Great JB along with the call KSPN just I

809
00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:56,200
Speaker 3: love A.

810
00:37:56,440 --> 00:38:02,400
Speaker 2: JB's style because he's he's economical but also vivid in

811
00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:05,480
Speaker 2: his descriptions, and that's truly an original call an Ellipsis.

812
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:07,960
Speaker 3: Half the people might need to look up what is that?

813
00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:10,600
Speaker 2: And then you see it, Oh, DoD DoD dotton And

814
00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:12,480
Speaker 2: that was Stafford all season, right in a time when

815
00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:14,520
Speaker 2: Grammar has you know, been thrown out of the side

816
00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:14,839
Speaker 2: of the car.

817
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:17,840
Speaker 3: It goes car like he is a technical assassin.

818
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:19,759
Speaker 5: And it was one of like the literally the best

819
00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:22,360
Speaker 5: drives by any quarterback all season because he's right like

820
00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:26,960
Speaker 5: Stafford on that drive made like three or four ridiculous throws.

821
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:28,520
Speaker 5: I don't know if it's going to make it awkward

822
00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:31,840
Speaker 5: when we see JB next that he was so close

823
00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:34,080
Speaker 5: to the mountaintop and he's like, well you couldn't just

824
00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:38,040
Speaker 5: dn't just give it to me, guys, or if it

825
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:41,440
Speaker 5: is motivation, something to strive for for our friend for

826
00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:42,799
Speaker 5: next year so he doesn't rest on.

827
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:44,239

828
00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:46,239
Speaker 3: little bit about and I think I think it a

829
00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:47,960
Speaker 3: little bit of it will be like as disappoint as

830
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:51,960

831

Speaker 3: of integrity.

832
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:55,319

869
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:47,240
Speaker 2: what it would have been, It would have been about

870
00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:50,800
Speaker 2: eight years ago now, when I was writing the pain rankings.

871
00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:53,320
Speaker 2: I wanted to talk to someone who truly understood what

872
00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:56,120
Speaker 2: the Lions have been through over these years. And it

873
00:40:56,239 --> 00:40:57,640
Speaker 2: was you who I thought of. And you were so

874
00:40:57,800 --> 00:41:01,400
Speaker 2: nice to talk with me on the phone. And here

875
00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:03,120
Speaker 2: is the first question. And this is a tough way

876
00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:05,520
Speaker 2: to open an interview, but listen, what did I know?

877
00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:07,480
Speaker 2: Not a real journalist?

878
00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:08,080
Speaker 3: Dan, here we go.

879
00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:10,239
Speaker 2: In your first six years on the job as the

880
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:13,080
Speaker 2: play by play guy, the Lions went twenty three and

881
00:41:13,239 --> 00:41:16,359
Speaker 2: seventy four, And I asked how that made your job

882
00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:20,120
Speaker 2: more difficult? And you spoke expressively, and it's very interesting

883
00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:22,920
Speaker 2: now we're on the other side of it. What a

884
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:24,959
Speaker 2: fun season that you just went through with the lines

885
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:26,480
Speaker 2: and early two years of Dan Campbell.

886
00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:29,960
Speaker 12: Yeah, I like this is much better. I will tell

887
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:30,160
Speaker 12: you that.

888
00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:34,400
Speaker 19: And that call and that emotion was just really just

889
00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:37,160
Speaker 19: everything that I think we've all been through, and believe me,

890
00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:39,880
Speaker 19: I've done this for nineteen years. There's a lot of

891
00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:44,080
Speaker 19: people out there that felt the release of that victory

892
00:41:44,239 --> 00:41:47,000
Speaker 19: and that moment that have been arounded a lot longer

893
00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:48,960
Speaker 19: than I have, cacades longer than I have, and and

894
00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:52,360
Speaker 19: have known really nothing but heartache and disappointment, and just

895
00:41:53,040 --> 00:41:56,080
Speaker 19: that was just so important for so many people, so

896
00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:59,520
Speaker 19: many reasons for the franchise, for the city, for the moment,

897
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:03,239
Speaker 19: and it was just I think you know, it was

898
00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:08,320
Speaker 19: just it was relief, it was being thrilled beyond belief,

899
00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:10,879
Speaker 19: and it was just a million emotions that went into

900
00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:13,880
Speaker 19: one and just an electric night downtown at Detroit.

901
00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:14,880
Speaker 12: It was just amazing.

902
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:19,440
Speaker 6: It's I some of my earliest football memories are like

903
00:42:19,640 --> 00:42:23,160
Speaker 6: driving around with my dad to go do like various

904
00:42:23,239 --> 00:42:25,680
Speaker 6: chores on a Sunday, and like listening to football on

905
00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:29,600
Speaker 6: the radio, and it's it's such a different visceral experience

906
00:42:29,719 --> 00:42:32,600
Speaker 6: than television for obvious reasons, like you've got to paint

907
00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:36,120
Speaker 6: this picture. And it's weird that my memories of listening

908
00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:38,279
Speaker 6: to radio I are still visual in some way just

909
00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:40,320
Speaker 6: by looking out the window at the same time, but like,

910
00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:44,200
Speaker 6: how do you like attack a radio broadcast verse, Like

911
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:46,879
Speaker 6: when you're so connected to these lines fans and you're

912
00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:50,160
Speaker 6: painting the picture of this historic, incredible game and moment, Like,

913
00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:52,279
Speaker 6: how do you even just go into it and just

914
00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:54,560
Speaker 6: bring that energy. I think it's like instructed to people

915
00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:56,799
Speaker 6: because it's not a job that very many people could

916
00:42:56,800 --> 00:42:58,040
Speaker 6: do well.

917
00:42:58,080 --> 00:43:00,520
Speaker 19: I think there is something magic about RAID. I mean,

918
00:43:00,680 --> 00:43:04,680
Speaker 19: I grew up in Washington, d C. In Maryland and Virginia,

919
00:43:04,719 --> 00:43:07,520
Speaker 19: and I was a Washington fan growing up. And I

920
00:43:07,640 --> 00:43:10,040
Speaker 19: still can in my mind's eye see John Riggins going

921
00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:13,000
Speaker 19: around a left side to win the Super Bowl. And

922
00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:16,160
Speaker 19: although I watch that game on TV, in my mind

923
00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:19,960
Speaker 19: it's Frank Herzog, the radio voice of Washington at the

924
00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:22,440
Speaker 19: time that I always hear his call, even though I

925
00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:25,000
Speaker 19: didn't hear that until later, but I've heard it so

926
00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:26,960
Speaker 19: many times since that that is kind of the.

927
00:43:28,680 --> 00:43:30,520
Speaker 12: Soundtrack of my mind. You know.

928
00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:34,239
Speaker 19: I think I don't operate with a restrictor plate. I

929
00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:36,920
Speaker 19: just kind of go and I just let my emotions go,

930
00:43:37,200 --> 00:43:40,400
Speaker 19: and I am emotionally involved. I make no bones about

931
00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:43,239
Speaker 19: the fact. And I think every person that's doing play

932
00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:45,279
Speaker 19: by play for a team is rooting for that team

933
00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:47,360
Speaker 19: to win. It's a little different than when you're covering

934
00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:50,480
Speaker 19: it as beat writer or something like that. You're fair,

935
00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:52,480
Speaker 19: you say when it's bad, you say when it's good.

936
00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:53,840
Speaker 19: But at the end of the day, you want to

937
00:43:53,880 --> 00:43:56,359
Speaker 19: see that team do well. And I tell people all

938
00:43:56,400 --> 00:43:59,120
Speaker 19: the time, there's nothing better in my job than seeing

939
00:43:59,160 --> 00:44:02,000
Speaker 19: the fans happy. And in that moment, they have not

940
00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:05,160
Speaker 19: been that happy in a long, long time, more than

941
00:44:05,239 --> 00:44:07,239
Speaker 19: thirty years, and I knew what that was going to

942
00:44:07,320 --> 00:44:08,880
Speaker 19: mean to them, and I knew what that was going

943
00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:12,480
Speaker 19: to mean to this team. And I'll tell you flat out,

944
00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:15,640
Speaker 19: in my forty three years in this business, I've never

945
00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:18,080
Speaker 19: wanted to see an athlete win a game more than

946
00:44:18,080 --> 00:44:20,480
Speaker 19: I wanted to see Jared Goff win that game. And

947
00:44:20,600 --> 00:44:22,719
Speaker 19: there was just, I think, just so many things that

948
00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:27,640
Speaker 19: went into that, but just generality, Look, you're trying to

949
00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:30,320
Speaker 19: bring the game to them, and I think if anything

950
00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:33,279
Speaker 19: probably resonates with fans at least what I hope it is,

951
00:44:33,680 --> 00:44:35,480
Speaker 19: it's that I'm as excited about what.

952
00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:37,680
Speaker 12: I'm seeing as they are. I mean, I love it.

953
00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:39,360
Speaker 19: I love the fact that I get to bring it

954
00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:41,560
Speaker 19: to them. But it's real because it comes from a

955
00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:45,360
Speaker 19: real place and it's just you know, that's the expression

956
00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:46,880
Speaker 19: you get and I think you know, that's what I

957
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:49,640
Speaker 19: hear from them most is you feel our pain and

958
00:44:49,800 --> 00:44:51,879
Speaker 19: you feel when things go well, just the same way

959
00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:52,200
Speaker 19: we do.

960
00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:52,879
Speaker 1: Yeah.

961
00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:55,120
Speaker 5: I love that you mentioned golf because you got that

962
00:44:55,280 --> 00:44:59,880
Speaker 5: angle in there on that call right away within all

963
00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:01,759
Speaker 5: the emotion. That's that's what I'm gonna break down. I

964
00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:03,080
Speaker 5: think it had to be the call of the year,

965
00:45:03,160 --> 00:45:05,560
Speaker 5: you know, other than us showing our integrity that we

966
00:45:05,719 --> 00:45:09,120
Speaker 5: chose you over our bottom, our friend JB. Long because

967
00:45:09,160 --> 00:45:09,719
Speaker 5: it had I.

968
00:45:12,160 --> 00:45:14,440
Speaker 12: Appreciated that so because I was like.

969
00:45:16,360 --> 00:45:16,440
Speaker 18: Like.

970
00:45:18,080 --> 00:45:21,359
Speaker 5: You had you had the emotion obviously, which that that's

971
00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:23,520
Speaker 5: like the most important thing. You knew the moment, but

972
00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:27,200
Speaker 5: you also understood before getting that first down exactly the

973
00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:30,359
Speaker 5: scenario of everything that you need. You needed to get

974
00:45:30,400 --> 00:45:32,759
Speaker 5: that first down, but you immediately followed it up with

975
00:45:32,840 --> 00:45:34,520
Speaker 5: the nuts and bolts of that they're gonna have to

976
00:45:34,560 --> 00:45:36,759
Speaker 5: kneel here, but that they've won the game. And so

977
00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:39,480
Speaker 5: sometimes that's all difficult to keep tracking the moment. You

978
00:45:39,600 --> 00:45:42,839
Speaker 5: got the golf angle in there right away, and then

979
00:45:43,080 --> 00:45:47,200
Speaker 5: after that you got in the historical context of it

980
00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:50,759
Speaker 5: all all in like very quick succession, all sort of

981
00:45:50,880 --> 00:45:54,040
Speaker 5: different things that you have to serve. Are you thinking

982
00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:56,800
Speaker 5: as that's all happening. I know the emotion is just

983
00:45:56,880 --> 00:46:00,600
Speaker 5: coming out. That's the emotional part. But those any sort

984
00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:02,920
Speaker 5: of points that you're getting in that quick call, are

985
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:05,279
Speaker 5: you thinking about that ahead of time? Are you just

986
00:46:05,360 --> 00:46:07,600
Speaker 5: thinking about I want to get all of this in

987
00:46:07,840 --> 00:46:08,400
Speaker 5: in the moment.

988
00:46:09,360 --> 00:46:12,600
Speaker 19: So I'll kind of take you inside our booth. When

989
00:46:12,600 --> 00:46:14,759
Speaker 19: they went to time out with two minutes to go,

990
00:46:15,360 --> 00:46:18,359
Speaker 19: and my guys t J. Lange, lums Proud are both

991
00:46:18,400 --> 00:46:20,839
Speaker 19: saying throw it, throw it, throw it, so we were

992
00:46:20,920 --> 00:46:22,200
Speaker 19: kind of expecting they were going to throw it. We

993
00:46:22,280 --> 00:46:24,920
Speaker 19: know Dan Campbell and he's a throw it guy. And

994
00:46:25,120 --> 00:46:28,480
Speaker 19: then when we went to that two minute time out,

995
00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:30,719
Speaker 19: I'm looking at my spot, I'm looking at my stack,

996
00:46:30,800 --> 00:46:33,239
Speaker 19: and I'm going, if we get a first down, they

997
00:46:33,320 --> 00:46:35,040
Speaker 19: have one time out, the game's over.

998
00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:35,759
Speaker 12: It's over.

999
00:46:35,880 --> 00:46:38,480
Speaker 19: And I'm doing math and it's actually very simple. I

1000
00:46:38,600 --> 00:46:39,960
Speaker 19: just want to make sure that we got it right.

1001
00:46:40,080 --> 00:46:42,120
Speaker 19: I mean, even if they called a time out, you

1002
00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:44,719
Speaker 19: get the first down, you run first down forty, you

1003
00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:46,720
Speaker 19: run second down forty, you run third down.

1004
00:46:46,600 --> 00:46:49,120
Speaker 12: Forty that's two minutes right there, so it's going to

1005
00:46:49,160 --> 00:46:49,440
Speaker 12: be over.

1006
00:46:49,640 --> 00:46:52,000
Speaker 19: So once I got the mechanics of the clock in

1007
00:46:52,080 --> 00:46:54,399
Speaker 19: my head and knew that I could sell out if

1008
00:46:54,400 --> 00:46:55,920
Speaker 19: they got the first down, then you knew that you

1009
00:46:55,960 --> 00:46:56,880
Speaker 19: could just kind of let it go.

1010
00:46:57,360 --> 00:46:59,759
Speaker 12: I did throw in the have to take three knees thing.

1011
00:46:59,760 --> 00:47:01,800
Speaker 19: Because because I didn't want to say it's over and

1012
00:47:01,880 --> 00:47:03,960
Speaker 19: then they mess it up and then I have to

1013
00:47:04,080 --> 00:47:05,759
Speaker 19: come back and say, Okay, guys, sorry about that.

1014
00:47:06,080 --> 00:47:07,160
Speaker 12: So I wanted to spell out the.

1015
00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:09,440
Speaker 19: Fact that yes, they do have to execute that, and

1016
00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:11,480
Speaker 19: I did ask Frank Ragnow about that later.

1017
00:47:11,560 --> 00:47:13,040
Speaker 12: I said, is that an easy play?

1018
00:47:13,120 --> 00:47:13,600
Speaker 3: And he goes?

1019
00:47:14,080 --> 00:47:16,080
Speaker 19: Not always he goes the first one you want to

1020
00:47:16,080 --> 00:47:17,799
Speaker 19: make sure of and then you relax a little bit.

1021
00:47:17,920 --> 00:47:21,080
Speaker 19: But no, I look, the golf angle was so embedded

1022
00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:25,040
Speaker 19: in my head all week long, knowing what in my

1023
00:47:25,280 --> 00:47:28,040
Speaker 19: mind this meant to him and what this meant to

1024
00:47:28,120 --> 00:47:31,160
Speaker 19: this team that I think that just came out. That

1025
00:47:31,360 --> 00:47:35,400
Speaker 19: was just natural, And I do honestly believe that that

1026
00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:38,719
Speaker 19: was a closure moment for Jared was a you know what,

1027
00:47:39,160 --> 00:47:42,279
Speaker 19: this thing is finally behind me now because I've been

1028
00:47:42,960 --> 00:47:45,040
Speaker 19: in the front row to watch everything that Jared has

1029
00:47:45,040 --> 00:47:47,240
Speaker 19: been through since he's come here and everything he's endured

1030
00:47:47,280 --> 00:47:49,920
Speaker 19: and everything that he has handled like an absolute pro.

1031
00:47:50,160 --> 00:47:52,400
Speaker 12: And I just think, if you lose that.

1032
00:47:52,480 --> 00:47:57,400
Speaker 19: Game, and you lose to that coach, that team, that

1033
00:47:57,680 --> 00:48:00,600
Speaker 19: quarterback again and nothing personally against any event, but it's

1034
00:48:00,760 --> 00:48:02,280
Speaker 19: just the way that this business works.

1035
00:48:03,239 --> 00:48:04,520
Speaker 12: I think, Man, you got to live with that.

1036
00:48:04,960 --> 00:48:07,560
Speaker 19: And then when you win, even though yeah, they got

1037
00:48:07,600 --> 00:48:09,839
Speaker 19: their super Bowl, but you know what, you knocked them out.

1038
00:48:10,040 --> 00:48:10,920
Speaker 12: There's peace in that.

1039
00:48:11,560 --> 00:48:14,160
Speaker 19: You move forward into playoffs. You did your job, and

1040
00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:17,279
Speaker 19: in my mind that just meant so much. And I

1041
00:48:17,360 --> 00:48:19,400
Speaker 19: think that's why that came out in that moment.

1042
00:48:21,120 --> 00:48:24,160
Speaker 2: Kind of a follow on this one, and then we'll

1043
00:48:24,239 --> 00:48:27,280
Speaker 2: let you go Dan twenty four to seven at halftime,

1044
00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:31,240
Speaker 2: you know, like at the Grammys for instance, which just occurred,

1045
00:48:31,440 --> 00:48:34,560
Speaker 2: Taylor Swift's going, there's no She's probably gonna pick up

1046
00:48:34,600 --> 00:48:37,400
Speaker 2: some hardware. So she could act like she doesn't have

1047
00:48:37,440 --> 00:48:41,520
Speaker 2: anything pre prepared, but she does. And I'm just thinking,

1048
00:48:41,920 --> 00:48:43,719
Speaker 2: as the play by play guy, once you get to

1049
00:48:43,800 --> 00:48:46,239
Speaker 2: that point in that game in the NFC title game,

1050
00:48:46,400 --> 00:48:49,160
Speaker 2: which of course ended up not working out for Detroit,

1051
00:48:49,280 --> 00:48:51,840
Speaker 2: but knowing that once you get to the end of

1052
00:48:51,880 --> 00:48:54,440
Speaker 2: that game that becomes potentially one of the most famous

1053
00:48:54,760 --> 00:48:57,839
Speaker 2: play calls in the history of Detroit Detroit sports. Did

1054
00:48:57,920 --> 00:49:00,880
Speaker 2: you have something kind of in mind to weave in

1055
00:49:01,360 --> 00:49:02,919
Speaker 2: if it got to that point and they did close

1056
00:49:02,960 --> 00:49:03,440
Speaker 2: that game out.

1057
00:49:04,320 --> 00:49:08,160
Speaker 19: Yes, And I've had it and I've done it many

1058
00:49:08,200 --> 00:49:09,640
Speaker 19: many times driving down the road.

1059
00:49:11,239 --> 00:49:14,040
Speaker 12: Yeah. No, I absolutely had it, and I've still got

1060
00:49:14,080 --> 00:49:15,160
Speaker 12: it to my back pocket.

1061
00:49:15,280 --> 00:49:16,040
Speaker 3: I hope to use it.

1062
00:49:16,400 --> 00:49:19,480
Speaker 12: I hope to use it next year. But yeah, that

1063
00:49:19,680 --> 00:49:22,960
Speaker 12: was that's as high as you.

1064
00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:26,160
Speaker 19: Know, you get winning two playoff games. There's the gut

1065
00:49:26,200 --> 00:49:28,440
Speaker 19: punch of being that close to a super Bowl and

1066
00:49:28,840 --> 00:49:31,920
Speaker 19: not getting there. And you know, Brad Holmes at his

1067
00:49:31,960 --> 00:49:34,640
Speaker 19: press conference today and talked about expecting to be there

1068
00:49:34,680 --> 00:49:35,440
Speaker 19: again next year.

1069
00:49:35,560 --> 00:49:37,600
Speaker 12: So the answer is yes.

1070
00:49:38,520 --> 00:49:41,400
Speaker 19: And those moments are are hard sometimes to prepare for

1071
00:49:41,520 --> 00:49:43,719
Speaker 19: because you never know how it's going to happen. Is

1072
00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:46,200
Speaker 19: it going to be a thirty one to seven game

1073
00:49:46,280 --> 00:49:48,839
Speaker 19: and it's kind of anti climactic, or is it going

1074
00:49:48,920 --> 00:49:51,120
Speaker 19: to be an interception that ices it or a touchdown

1075
00:49:51,200 --> 00:49:51,680
Speaker 19: that happens.

1076
00:49:51,719 --> 00:49:54,920
Speaker 12: But I think I did have something.

1077
00:49:54,640 --> 00:49:57,560
Speaker 19: Of a historical perspective of what it would mean to Detroit,

1078
00:49:57,760 --> 00:50:00,239
Speaker 19: because I think we know what that would mean would

1079
00:50:00,239 --> 00:50:02,560
Speaker 19: be incredible, because it's something that everybody there is dreamed

1080
00:50:02,560 --> 00:50:04,600
Speaker 19: about for a long time and has never happened.

1081
00:50:04,640 --> 00:50:06,680
Speaker 12: So I think that's ultimately what you want to capture.

1082
00:50:06,960 --> 00:50:08,719
Speaker 5: Well, this makes up for it, though, right like you

1083
00:50:08,920 --> 00:50:11,920
Speaker 5: finishing number one on Radio College.

1084
00:50:12,440 --> 00:50:16,480
Speaker 12: I appreciate that. No, I appreciate that.

1085
00:50:16,680 --> 00:50:20,480
Speaker 19: That's uh, listen, we're just checking boxes in Detroit this year.

1086
00:50:20,600 --> 00:50:23,239
Speaker 19: So won a division, won a whole playoff game, won

1087
00:50:23,239 --> 00:50:25,279
Speaker 19: another playoff game, I won this.

1088
00:50:25,600 --> 00:50:28,439
Speaker 12: So just just one by one, we're just checking box

1089
00:50:28,520 --> 00:50:28,839
Speaker 12: this year.

1090
00:50:29,120 --> 00:50:32,880
Speaker 7: And Dan, it doesn't feel like it's so ol anymore.

1091
00:50:33,080 --> 00:50:37,440
Speaker 7: Like it feels like things have really changed and turned around.

1092
00:50:37,680 --> 00:50:40,320
Speaker 7: I was lucky enough to be in Detroit for the

1093
00:50:40,360 --> 00:50:44,000
Speaker 7: game against the Bucks. I learned all about Better Made

1094
00:50:44,280 --> 00:50:47,959
Speaker 7: and FAGO and so like, I didn't know what Same

1095
00:50:48,040 --> 00:50:51,399
Speaker 7: Old Lions was until I got there, and I feel

1096
00:50:51,480 --> 00:50:53,680
Speaker 7: like I got there after the fact, which is a

1097
00:50:53,719 --> 00:50:54,040
Speaker 7: good thing.

1098
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:56,840
Speaker 19: Yeah, I think I think you have to retire that.

1099
00:50:57,040 --> 00:50:59,319
Speaker 19: I mean, that's that's been around for a long time,

1100
00:50:59,560 --> 00:51:02,480
Speaker 19: and you know what, they did figure out ways to

1101
00:51:02,600 --> 00:51:05,800
Speaker 19: lose things and do things that just kind of defied

1102
00:51:05,920 --> 00:51:08,680
Speaker 19: logic and you just never thought could happen, and you

1103
00:51:08,680 --> 00:51:10,800
Speaker 19: would just kind of throw up and say, same old Liones.

1104
00:51:10,880 --> 00:51:16,200
Speaker 19: But look, if they truly were, there's so many times

1105
00:51:16,239 --> 00:51:18,040
Speaker 19: this season where they would have found a way to

1106
00:51:18,120 --> 00:51:20,480
Speaker 19: lose a game, be it laid against Minnesota when you're

1107
00:51:20,480 --> 00:51:23,279
Speaker 19: trying to clinch the division, or even that Rams game

1108
00:51:23,320 --> 00:51:25,359
Speaker 19: with Matthew Stafford driving down the field.

1109
00:51:25,440 --> 00:51:27,719
Speaker 12: You know, you don't get the play that makes.

1110
00:51:27,520 --> 00:51:30,600
Speaker 19: It fourth and fourteen, and you know Aiden Hutchinson doesn't

1111
00:51:30,719 --> 00:51:33,279
Speaker 19: draw the holding penalty. You know, so many things have

1112
00:51:33,480 --> 00:51:36,279
Speaker 19: happened where the old Lions would have figured out a

1113
00:51:36,360 --> 00:51:38,640
Speaker 19: way to lose the game. So I think, you know,

1114
00:51:38,760 --> 00:51:41,120
Speaker 19: in fairness to these guys who have changed the conversation

1115
00:51:41,200 --> 00:51:43,840
Speaker 19: and done so many things that haven't happened before that,

1116
00:51:44,120 --> 00:51:45,960
Speaker 19: I think you have to say, you know, let's put

1117
00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:48,080
Speaker 19: those three letters away. Let's let these guys say that

1118
00:51:48,120 --> 00:51:48,719
Speaker 19: they changed it.

1119
00:51:49,040 --> 00:51:49,920
Speaker 4: What's your dog's name?

1120
00:51:50,320 --> 00:51:51,200
Speaker 12: Even my dog.

1121
00:51:51,080 --> 00:51:54,719
Speaker 3: Agrees, dogs like I want to hear the speech that

1122
00:51:54,840 --> 00:51:55,000
Speaker 3: you have.

1123
00:51:56,239 --> 00:51:56,399
Speaker 1: Dan.

1124
00:51:56,520 --> 00:51:58,320
Speaker 3: Thank you so much, buddy, You're the best, and we

1125
00:51:58,400 --> 00:51:59,399
Speaker 3: can't wait to hear you again.

1126
00:52:00,400 --> 00:52:03,279
Speaker 12: Thanks Dan, thank you, I appreciate it. Thank you very much, guys.

1127
00:52:03,320 --> 00:52:06,560
Speaker 3: That's fun. All right, there, he goes, I.

1128
00:52:06,600 --> 00:52:08,680
Speaker 7: Still want to know what his dog's name is. We're

1129
00:52:08,719 --> 00:52:09,840
Speaker 7: gonna have to take that offline.

1130
00:52:10,800 --> 00:52:12,200
Speaker 3: Take it off line. That's a follow up.

1131
00:52:12,520 --> 00:52:16,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, classic CONDI follow up interviewing a class announcers.

1132
00:52:16,239 --> 00:52:17,359
Speaker 3: I think we should do it more often.

1133
00:52:17,520 --> 00:52:19,839
Speaker 2: I think there's anybody who listens to the show knows

1134
00:52:19,880 --> 00:52:22,759
Speaker 2: we have a level of fascination with the craft. And

1135
00:52:23,640 --> 00:52:25,800
Speaker 2: I don't know too many other podcasts in general that

1136
00:52:25,840 --> 00:52:29,359
Speaker 2: I've ever really focused in on that side of the game,

1137
00:52:29,719 --> 00:52:32,799
Speaker 2: which really connects with the fans in such a more

1138
00:52:32,880 --> 00:52:35,440
Speaker 2: direct level than the national calls. Not that there aren't

1139
00:52:35,480 --> 00:52:38,799
Speaker 2: great calls by all these guys that do the national games,

1140
00:52:38,840 --> 00:52:39,280
Speaker 2: but it's.

1141
00:52:39,160 --> 00:52:41,840
Speaker 4: Those local Wolflly. You have to get Wolflly on.

1142
00:52:42,800 --> 00:52:42,920
Speaker 13: You know.

1143
00:52:43,080 --> 00:52:43,719
Speaker 5: I think we did.

1144
00:52:44,480 --> 00:52:47,320
Speaker 3: No, I don't do it again. I'm a little bit familiar.

1145
00:52:48,520 --> 00:52:51,000
Speaker 3: Did it not go well? I think it would go well?

1146
00:52:51,120 --> 00:52:52,359
Speaker 3: Is he on the hit it and quit it list?

1147
00:52:52,440 --> 00:52:52,560
Speaker 7: Now?

1148
00:52:52,840 --> 00:52:52,880
Speaker 12: No?

1149
00:52:52,960 --> 00:52:53,000
Speaker 14: No?

1150
00:52:53,040 --> 00:52:57,919
Speaker 3: No, gone? Well. I think it was the season when

1151
00:52:58,040 --> 00:53:02,040
Speaker 3: he did the like the dusty the flower, the sunlit moves.

1152
00:53:02,760 --> 00:53:04,120
Speaker 5: I think we thought we did.

1153
00:53:04,160 --> 00:53:05,480
Speaker 6: But you know what, I think it's funny because we

1154
00:53:05,520 --> 00:53:07,279
Speaker 6: don't remember who's been on the show. But then someone

1155
00:53:07,320 --> 00:53:07,960
Speaker 6: will remind us.

1156
00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:11,319
Speaker 3: And then, by the way, huge.

1157
00:53:13,080 --> 00:53:16,520
Speaker 7: His dog's name is Murphy. For anyone that's wondering, just

1158
00:53:17,360 --> 00:53:20,120
Speaker 7: connect with that. I just like, yeah, my energy kind

1159
00:53:20,120 --> 00:53:20,840
Speaker 7: of locked in.

1160
00:53:21,080 --> 00:53:21,680
Speaker 3: If that's right.

00:53:21,840 --> 00:53:26,399
Speaker 2: Shout out to Madison there. All right, Connie, you've said

1162
00:53:26,440 --> 00:53:29,280
Speaker 2: it all, and here's the good news for everyone. Connie's

00:53:36,640 --> 00:53:39,920
Speaker 5: Well, you're flying a Vegas tonight, right, yeah, oh, so

00:53:41,719 --> 00:53:45,120
Speaker 7: No, I'm doing Opening Night here from LA and then

1169
00:53:45,200 --> 00:53:46,680
Speaker 7: flying to Vegas for some reason.

1170
00:53:46,800 --> 00:53:50,239
Speaker 3: But be careful with the light. I will. Don't. We

1171
00:53:50,280 --> 00:53:52,120
Speaker 3: worry about you. But I have fun.

1172
00:53:52,480 --> 00:53:54,759
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, all right, I'm not going to pass out.

1173
00:53:55,000 --> 00:53:57,400
Speaker 2: And here's the good news for all that before him.

1174
00:53:57,640 --> 00:54:02,440
Speaker 2: The day after that flight, although we learned that women

1175
00:54:02,640 --> 00:54:07,520
Speaker 2: are better than or better than men, better than men generally, yeah,

1176
00:54:08,160 --> 00:54:10,000
Speaker 2: and we keep learning. We're continually learning that.

1177
00:54:10,120 --> 00:54:14,000
Speaker 7: But certainly when it comes to theologically the g's, yes,

1178
00:54:14,280 --> 00:54:18,359
Speaker 7: they are better built to handle the g's for some reason, except.

1179
00:54:18,080 --> 00:54:19,680
Speaker 3: For the slang term Greg.

1180
00:54:21,560 --> 00:54:24,920
Speaker 5: Sixty. Yes on this, you don't need to explain to me.

1181
00:54:26,560 --> 00:54:29,600
Speaker 2: I'm surprised. I'm surprised you said g force me. Yeah,

1182
00:54:29,600 --> 00:54:30,480
Speaker 2: you should have just said.

1183
00:54:30,360 --> 00:54:32,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, g Force should be your nickname?

1184
00:54:33,840 --> 00:54:33,920
Speaker 7: Ye?

1185
00:54:34,040 --> 00:54:34,680

00:54:34,760 --> 00:54:35,399
Speaker 3: Yeah? What do you think?

1187
00:54:35,600 --> 00:54:36,600
Speaker 5: I got too many names?

1188
00:54:37,880 --> 00:54:40,720
Speaker 3: But Colleen after he should like his own nickname.

1191
00:54:48,880 --> 00:54:50,000
Speaker 3: talk about everything that happened.

1192
00:54:50,160 --> 00:54:51,640
Speaker 4: I can't believe we're all going to be in Vegas.

1193
00:54:51,680 --> 00:54:54,880
Speaker 3: Oh father, it's gonna be great, right, so excited.

1196
00:54:59,000 --> 00:55:04,200
Speaker 2: and then talk about our talk with Brian Baldinger about

1197
00:55:04,680 --> 00:55:06,319

1201
00:55:27,120 --> 00:55:29,640
Speaker 2: get Geez up there, but we were pretty quick on

1202
00:55:29,680 --> 00:55:34,240
Speaker 2: that plane. A quick little jump over to Vegas, about

1203
00:55:34,239 --> 00:55:37,400
Speaker 2: a forty five minute flight. No one's complaining, and then

1204
00:55:37,480 --> 00:55:40,760
Speaker 2: we are touching down and then we are going straight

1205
00:55:41,120 --> 00:55:46,839

Speaker 3: right Ill.

1213
00:56:05,160 --> 00:56:07,440
Speaker 5: The listeners don't. And maybe that this person will cancel

1214
00:56:07,480 --> 00:56:09,040
Speaker 5: and we don't want to put them in a bed.

1215
00:56:09,160 --> 00:56:11,920
Speaker 3: But or maybe they was good. It's a good showman,

1219
00:56:21,520 --> 00:56:24,879
Speaker 5: Wednesday versus I saw everyone there yesterday afternoon at radio.

1220
00:56:25,280 --> 00:56:26,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a lot.

1221
00:56:27,840 --> 00:56:31,320
Speaker 2: I remember being on a boat in New York Harbor

1222
00:56:31,480 --> 00:56:34,480
Speaker 2: or something for the Peyton Manning press conference on a

1223
00:56:34,640 --> 00:56:37,959
Speaker 2: Saturday the week before the Super Bowl.

1224
00:56:38,880 --> 00:56:41,600
Speaker 6: You were sent there because Wes was a day late

1225
00:56:41,760 --> 00:56:44,920
Speaker 6: because of some sort of flight issues and showed up

1226
00:56:45,320 --> 00:56:47,080
Speaker 6: in New York with no coat, and he and I

1227
00:56:47,160 --> 00:56:49,239
Speaker 6: were down in like hack and Sack, New Jersey, while

1228
00:56:49,239 --> 00:56:50,120
Speaker 6: the two of you were up in.

1229
00:56:51,040 --> 00:56:54,520
Speaker 3: About me I believe you were in Hoboken. Well, no,

1230
00:56:54,640 --> 00:56:57,200
Speaker 3: it was actually Jersey City, and we ran in.

1231
00:56:57,200 --> 00:56:59,960
Speaker 5: The process of him trying to get winter code expens.

1232
00:57:00,400 --> 00:57:05,239
Speaker 5: That was like the subject of way too many conversations.

1233
00:57:04,800 --> 00:57:07,680
Speaker 3: He because he yeah, did was the luggage lost?

1234
00:57:07,800 --> 00:57:07,920
Speaker 12: Is that?

1235
00:57:08,120 --> 00:57:08,319
Speaker 3: Yeah?

1236
00:57:08,600 --> 00:57:12,520
Speaker 6: His entire fleet of luggage was completely lost. And he

1237
00:57:12,560 --> 00:57:14,839
Speaker 6: showed up to Jersey City and it was that Super

1238
00:57:14,880 --> 00:57:16,720
Speaker 6: Bowl was lucky because the temperature and you know, it

1239
00:57:16,800 --> 00:57:18,760
Speaker 6: started snowing after the game, but it was fine. But

1240
00:57:18,920 --> 00:57:21,360
Speaker 6: the days leading up where he and I went to

1241
00:57:21,480 --> 00:57:23,800
Speaker 6: a like a Chili's three nights in a row down

1242
00:57:23,880 --> 00:57:28,640
Speaker 6: in this like Russian landscape was freezing, absolute dead winter,

1243
00:57:28,880 --> 00:57:31,320
Speaker 6: and he had no coat and you guys were up

1244
00:57:31,360 --> 00:57:33,840
Speaker 6: in Manhattan, you know, having like you know, bubbly with

1245
00:57:34,160 --> 00:57:36,800
Speaker 6: unbelievable I don't know how that how that came to

1246
00:57:36,880 --> 00:57:39,800
Speaker 6: be caviare every night for Greg and I on top

1247
00:57:39,880 --> 00:57:41,680
Speaker 6: of the Chrysler Building.

1248
00:57:42,880 --> 00:57:46,680
Speaker 2: Not quite, but yes, because what happened was I get

1249
00:57:46,720 --> 00:57:49,840
Speaker 2: a little more shading on that one. The year before,

1250
00:57:50,080 --> 00:57:56,520
Speaker 2: weirdly was the Niners Raven Super Bowl and we were

1251
00:57:56,600 --> 00:58:00,560
Speaker 2: in the top rafters of the Superdome and it was

1252
00:58:00,720 --> 00:58:03,680
Speaker 2: so cold up there. The air conditioning. This is before

1253
00:58:03,720 --> 00:58:07,200
Speaker 2: the power outage. Maybe this caused the power outage was

1254
00:58:07,360 --> 00:58:12,080
Speaker 2: so freezingly cold, like shooting down and everyone worked in

1255
00:58:12,240 --> 00:58:16,400
Speaker 2: NFL media that they actually greenlit people going to the

1256
00:58:16,440 --> 00:58:19,760
Speaker 2: concession stands to get jackets and hoodies to wear for

1257
00:58:19,840 --> 00:58:22,360
Speaker 2: the game. I didn't do on myself, but a lot

1258
00:58:22,400 --> 00:58:24,280
Speaker 2: of people did so. I think Wes in the back

1259
00:58:24,320 --> 00:58:26,520
Speaker 2: of his mind said, oh, we were able to do that.

1260
00:58:26,640 --> 00:58:28,320
Speaker 2: Last year he did the same thing and bought like

1261
00:58:28,360 --> 00:58:32,240
Speaker 2: a one hundred and seventy five dollars Super Bowl winner jacket,

1262
00:58:32,680 --> 00:58:35,040
Speaker 2: And then the expense report came back with a big

1263
00:58:35,120 --> 00:58:39,000
Speaker 2: old he gall They reacted sharply to that. And Greg,

1264
00:58:39,080 --> 00:58:41,040
Speaker 2: as his boss at the time, did you get him

1265
00:58:41,080 --> 00:58:41,480
Speaker 2: the money?

1266
00:58:42,320 --> 00:58:46,280
Speaker 5: I don't remember. I remember, actually, I believe a promise

1267
00:58:46,440 --> 00:58:48,280
Speaker 5: was made to him that it would be okay from

1268
00:58:48,720 --> 00:58:50,200
Speaker 5: my boss at the time. I'm not going to throw

1269
00:58:50,240 --> 00:58:52,560
Speaker 5: him under the bus, friend of ours. But and then

1270
00:58:52,600 --> 00:58:54,680
Speaker 5: I think it got He was kind of talking out

1271
00:58:54,720 --> 00:58:56,080
Speaker 5: of his butt like he often did.

1272
00:58:57,680 --> 00:58:59,000
Speaker 3: Oh that could be so many people.

1273
00:59:00,000 --> 00:59:02,919
Speaker 2: All right, let's we have Baldy coming up to break

1274
00:59:03,000 --> 00:59:08,440
Speaker 2: down some interesting uh plotlines heading into Niners Chiefs on Sunday.

1275
00:59:08,520 --> 00:59:11,320
Speaker 3: But first, let's get caught up on some news. Tick

1276
00:59:11,440 --> 00:59:12,000
Speaker 3: tack toe.

1277
00:59:16,160 --> 00:59:17,120
Speaker 20: Right and has a chance to win.

1278
00:59:17,200 --> 00:59:33,160
Speaker 3: Here the crowd goes wild. Congratulations with Justin Tucker. That

1279
00:59:33,320 --> 00:59:33,800
Speaker 3: was awesome.

1280
00:59:33,880 --> 00:59:34,040
Speaker 14: Man.

1281
00:59:39,200 --> 00:59:41,760
Speaker 2: Listen, you know I love kickers and I love me

1282
00:59:41,960 --> 00:59:44,919
Speaker 2: Brandon Aubrey. I mean, what a what a season he had.

1283
00:59:45,280 --> 00:59:49,080
Speaker 2: Justin Tucker's maybe my favorite player who's ever lived in

1284
00:59:49,160 --> 00:59:49,640
Speaker 2: our league.

1285
00:59:50,600 --> 00:59:52,560
Speaker 3: I just some notes for that.

1286
00:59:52,680 --> 00:59:55,320
Speaker 2: If we're gonna have a kicker tic tac toe, let's

1287
00:59:55,320 --> 00:59:57,120
Speaker 2: get let's get some bodies in there. Let's get some

1288
00:59:57,360 --> 00:59:59,960
Speaker 2: crowd in there. Let's get some audience there was.

1289
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:01,640
Speaker 5: It's weird because the rest of the stuff they did

1290
01:00:01,800 --> 01:00:04,000
Speaker 5: indoors and then certainly on Sunday with the games and

1291
01:00:04,040 --> 01:00:06,680
Speaker 5: then the extra stuff where they had amazingly sixty thousand

1292
01:00:06,680 --> 01:00:08,480
Speaker 5: people there, like had an audience. I don't know why

1293
01:00:08,480 --> 01:00:09,120
Speaker 5: the kicker think.

1294
01:00:09,040 --> 01:00:12,840
Speaker 2: That's funnel some of that sixty k into the field

1295
01:00:12,920 --> 01:00:15,600
Speaker 2: house for the kicker game, or go judge judy it

1296
01:00:16,000 --> 01:00:17,880
Speaker 2: and pay some people to be there, and then let's

1297
01:00:17,880 --> 01:00:20,720
Speaker 2: put some music underneath it. If we're looking to change

1298
01:00:20,760 --> 01:00:23,960
Speaker 2: how the kicking game is viewed. M I mean, that

1299
01:00:24,120 --> 01:00:26,880
Speaker 2: was a little we could do better, that's all.

1300
01:00:26,920 --> 01:00:29,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm free reach out to me and I'm happy

1301
01:00:29,440 --> 01:00:29,680
Speaker 3: to help.

1302
01:00:29,760 --> 01:00:34,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's continued, you know, enthusiastic disrespect for a position

1303
01:00:34,320 --> 01:00:36,760
Speaker 6: that I think could have had a lot of people cheering.

1304
01:00:40,920 --> 01:00:43,280
Speaker 5: Or that also, they don't even they literally don't allow

1305
01:00:43,400 --> 01:00:47,560
Speaker 5: kicking in the flag football game, which is our disrespect,

1306
01:00:47,600 --> 01:00:49,160
Speaker 5: though the kickers have no rule.

1307
01:00:51,400 --> 01:00:54,560
Speaker 2: By the way, when I was doing the speaking, we

1308
01:00:54,640 --> 01:00:59,480
Speaker 2: were talking about the West thing, the Brian Hoyer wager

1309
01:01:00,040 --> 01:01:03,320
Speaker 2: with Johnny Manziel, Just to refresh my memory of that

1310
01:01:03,440 --> 01:01:06,640
Speaker 2: moment in time, because obviously, and if we talked about

1311
01:01:06,640 --> 01:01:10,840
Speaker 2: that Johnny Manzel documentary recently, that was really obviously illuminating

1312
01:01:10,920 --> 01:01:14,360
Speaker 2: and how messed up he was behind the scenes. It

1313
01:01:14,480 --> 01:01:19,640
Speaker 2: came down to a exhibition game against Washington. Mike Petten

1314
01:01:20,160 --> 01:01:21,600
Speaker 2: was trying to figure out who am I going to

1315
01:01:21,680 --> 01:01:23,400
Speaker 2: go with and he wanted somebody to win the battle.

1316
01:01:23,480 --> 01:01:27,320
Speaker 2: And obviously Manziel was a wreck, but Hoyer was playing terribly.

1317
01:01:27,360 --> 01:01:29,960
Speaker 2: He'd missed most of the previous season, and they both

1318
01:01:29,960 --> 01:01:33,280
Speaker 2: played really poorly in that game. But what gave Hoyer

1319
01:01:33,360 --> 01:01:36,480
Speaker 2: the edge was, in addition to Manzel struggling, he gave

1320
01:01:36,560 --> 01:01:39,840
Speaker 2: the finger to the Redskins sideline during the game, which

1321
01:01:39,960 --> 01:01:42,120
Speaker 2: is outrageous.

1322
01:01:41,520 --> 01:01:41,720
Speaker 20: Like that.

1323
01:01:44,120 --> 01:01:46,280
Speaker 6: He did, and like that it's it was a moment

1324
01:01:46,360 --> 01:01:50,800
Speaker 6: in Brown's history where their preseason games were like watched

1325
01:01:50,920 --> 01:01:53,240
Speaker 6: by way more people than you'd ever imagine. But I

1326
01:01:53,240 --> 01:01:55,439
Speaker 6: will say one thing about Wes that around week seven

1327
01:01:55,560 --> 01:01:57,480
Speaker 6: or eight, because I think they started that season around

1328
01:01:57,520 --> 01:01:59,800
Speaker 6: six and three or seven and three before they lost

1329
01:01:59,840 --> 01:02:03,040
Speaker 6: all the rest of their games. But Hoyer under Kyle Shanahan,

1330
01:02:03,120 --> 01:02:06,240
Speaker 6: who was the one year offensive coordinator, was because of

1331
01:02:06,360 --> 01:02:09,240
Speaker 6: play action and the way that Shanahan like does what

1332
01:02:09,360 --> 01:02:12,120
Speaker 6: he does with quarterbacks, was having this pretty great season.

1333
01:02:12,400 --> 01:02:14,120
Speaker 6: And what this was back when we could kind of

1334
01:02:14,120 --> 01:02:16,360
Speaker 6: write whatever we wanted as articles, It was just like,

1335
01:02:16,560 --> 01:02:18,480
Speaker 6: if you're fascinated by this, go write an article like

1336
01:02:18,720 --> 01:02:21,880
Speaker 6: Wes wrote this Brian Hoyer Kyle Shanahan article that I

1337
01:02:21,960 --> 01:02:25,840
Speaker 6: think predates a lot of other people's Shanahan analysis in general.

1338
01:02:26,160 --> 01:02:28,400
Speaker 6: And despite the fact that he was losing, he lost

1339
01:02:28,440 --> 01:02:30,880
Speaker 6: that sandwich bet he turned around and made this incredible

1340
01:02:30,920 --> 01:02:31,840
Speaker 6: written piece about it.

1341
01:02:31,880 --> 01:02:33,280
Speaker 3: And that was kind of Wes in a nutshell.

1342
01:02:33,520 --> 01:02:36,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, well said and Manzel then also said in that documentary,

1343
01:02:36,880 --> 01:02:38,960
Speaker 2: like the one place I couldn't go was Cleveland.

1344
01:02:39,360 --> 01:02:41,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, a young Kyle Shanahan there, if you just would

1345
01:02:41,600 --> 01:02:44,720
Speaker 3: add your head on straight. But he did not. All right.

1346
01:02:47,040 --> 01:02:48,840
Speaker 3: I think Shanahan left because of Manze.

1347
01:02:48,720 --> 01:02:50,560
Speaker 6: Well, there were yeah, there were a lot of issues

1348
01:02:50,600 --> 01:02:53,360
Speaker 6: with ownership. He'd asked to leave his contract.

1349
01:02:53,360 --> 01:02:55,400
Speaker 5: All right, here's the news because the ownership made them

1350
01:02:55,840 --> 01:02:56,520
Speaker 5: play Manziel.

1351
01:02:56,680 --> 01:02:59,480
Speaker 6: Yes, and then am got suspended for using you know

1352
01:02:59,560 --> 01:03:01,920
Speaker 6: the cell Hawkins that you know when Mike Petton called

1353
01:03:02,000 --> 01:03:04,480
Speaker 6: him to tell him about that. He thought Mike Petton

1354
01:03:04,600 --> 01:03:07,960
Speaker 6: was joking as like a veteran leaver leader, like, hey,

1355
01:03:08,000 --> 01:03:09,560
Speaker 6: how do you think everyone will handle this? And he

1356
01:03:09,760 --> 01:03:11,640
Speaker 6: literally laughed, thought he was being sarcastic.

1357
01:03:12,520 --> 01:03:14,680
Speaker 3: Let's start with the Washington commanders.

1358
01:03:14,720 --> 01:03:18,240
Speaker 2: We are all absolutely thrilled about the dan Quinn hiring now,

1359
01:03:19,120 --> 01:03:22,280
Speaker 2: and they have also filled their offensive coordinator position hiring

1360
01:03:22,400 --> 01:03:26,920
Speaker 2: Cardinals coach Cliff former excuse me, Cardinals coach Cliff Kingsbury.

1361
01:03:27,360 --> 01:03:31,600
Speaker 2: The team announced that on Monday, Kingsbury, some palace intrigue here,

1362
01:03:31,640 --> 01:03:33,600
Speaker 2: had been very close to joining the Raiders as their

1363
01:03:33,640 --> 01:03:38,840
Speaker 2: OC until contract talks broke down on Saturday. Washington talked

1364
01:03:38,880 --> 01:03:42,320
Speaker 2: to Kingsbury that day the deal completed the day after that.

1365
01:03:42,640 --> 01:03:45,200
Speaker 3: I don't know, Greg, I don't know how this works.

1366
01:03:45,240 --> 01:03:48,960
Speaker 2: And I saw some percolations on Twitter around something you

1367
01:03:49,120 --> 01:03:52,040
Speaker 2: sent out that Cliff Kingsbury could be so hot in

1368
01:03:52,120 --> 01:03:56,600
Speaker 2: demand after you know, quite frankly disastrous tenure, certainly the

1369
01:03:56,720 --> 01:03:58,959
Speaker 2: end of it with Arizona, and yet here we are two.

1370
01:03:58,880 --> 01:04:01,160
Speaker 3: Teams fighting over kings very only one gets them and

1371
01:04:01,200 --> 01:04:01,920
Speaker 3: it's the Commanders.

1372
01:04:02,240 --> 01:04:07,320
Speaker 5: It's crazy to me because, like, what about their run offensively?

1373
01:04:07,480 --> 01:04:11,040
Speaker 5: Did anyone like like they underachieved in terms of what

1374
01:04:11,280 --> 01:04:14,760
Speaker 5: he had, And it just sounds like he was gonna

1375
01:04:14,800 --> 01:04:18,680
Speaker 5: sign with the Raiders, and then the Washington became interested,

1376
01:04:18,840 --> 01:04:21,400
Speaker 5: and since he hadn't signed on the dotted line yet,

1377
01:04:21,920 --> 01:04:24,920
Speaker 5: they said contract negotiations broke broke down, and he just

1378
01:04:25,000 --> 01:04:29,080
Speaker 5: decided this was a better spot for him. And I'm

1379
01:04:29,160 --> 01:04:31,280
Speaker 5: rooting for Dan Quinn. I don't know. I don't know

1380
01:04:31,320 --> 01:04:34,320
Speaker 5: if I'm excited for Cliff Kingsbury to have the number

1381
01:04:34,360 --> 01:04:35,640
Speaker 5: two overall draft pick.

1382
01:04:36,120 --> 01:04:39,640
Speaker 6: And he's you know, obviously with USC ties a year ago,

1383
01:04:39,760 --> 01:04:43,280
Speaker 6: he's tied to Killer Williams, and you wonder if Chicago

1384
01:04:43,320 --> 01:04:46,120
Speaker 6: goes in a different direction like that could be his quarterback.

1385
01:04:46,160 --> 01:04:48,560
Speaker 5: They could trade trade their assets up just to go one.

1386
01:04:48,480 --> 01:04:49,640
Speaker 3: To two short. They could trade up.

1387
01:04:49,680 --> 01:04:51,840
Speaker 6: I guess i'm I'm I'm with you in the sense

1388
01:04:51,880 --> 01:04:54,040
Speaker 6: that like I never I came out of that Cliff

1389
01:04:54,120 --> 01:04:56,560
Speaker 6: Kingsbury experience because I went into it like this could

1390
01:04:56,600 --> 01:04:58,600
Speaker 6: be one of these sort of fascinating turning points in

1391
01:04:58,640 --> 01:05:02,400
Speaker 6: the NFL and was kind of marked by chaos and

1392
01:05:02,720 --> 01:05:08,440
Speaker 6: like increasing disorganization and upset players by the very static offense.

1393
01:05:08,120 --> 01:05:10,600
Speaker 5: Like yeah, uncreative, just the same thing over and over,

1394
01:05:10,680 --> 01:05:12,320
Speaker 5: and Yeah, the thing you were referring to that I

1395
01:05:12,400 --> 01:05:15,760
Speaker 5: mentioned was like, I still think some coaches really play

1396
01:05:15,880 --> 01:05:19,400
Speaker 5: the media game hard and the agents obviously do too,

1397
01:05:19,480 --> 01:05:22,560
Speaker 5: so it's like a combination. And I do actually one

1398
01:05:22,600 --> 01:05:24,360
Speaker 5: of the things covering the league for twenty years, I

1399
01:05:25,160 --> 01:05:27,160
Speaker 5: wouldn't have thought that it mattered so much, and now

1400
01:05:27,200 --> 01:05:29,800
Speaker 5: you realize, like it only matters so much. You have

1401
01:05:29,880 --> 01:05:33,080
Speaker 5: to have some goods, but it can matter. And some

1402
01:05:33,360 --> 01:05:36,800
Speaker 5: coaches I think, really have a way of befriending a

1403
01:05:36,920 --> 01:05:40,280
Speaker 5: ton of media. And it's usually not just one or

1404
01:05:40,320 --> 01:05:43,280
Speaker 5: two guys in women, it's everyone. It's like they're friends

1405
01:05:43,320 --> 01:05:45,880
Speaker 5: with everyone, and the agent is too, and they get

1406
01:05:45,920 --> 01:05:49,000
Speaker 5: a lot of good press because of it. I thought

1407
01:05:49,040 --> 01:05:50,680
Speaker 5: Jeff Fisher was like the old king of it, like

1408
01:05:50,720 --> 01:05:52,920
Speaker 5: Cliff Kingsbury is one of the new kings of it.

1409
01:05:53,000 --> 01:05:54,720
Speaker 5: And I think that helped him get a job and

1410
01:05:55,200 --> 01:05:57,840
Speaker 5: helped him be like a hot commodity. The opposite is

1411
01:05:57,880 --> 01:06:01,320
Speaker 5: whatever happened with Ben Johnson, who turned down this Washington

1412
01:06:01,440 --> 01:06:04,320
Speaker 5: job apparently, and now Washington and some of the same

1413
01:06:04,360 --> 01:06:07,200
Speaker 5: people are pumping up Cliff are giving this smear campaign

1414
01:06:07,240 --> 01:06:10,120
Speaker 5: against Ben Johnson because he turned them down.

1415
01:06:10,280 --> 01:06:13,240
Speaker 2: So this is an ESPN report that Johnson had issues

1416
01:06:13,320 --> 01:06:16,919
Speaker 2: with Commander's ownership after interviewing to be their new head

1417
01:06:16,960 --> 01:06:20,280
Speaker 2: coach in the wake of Ronriver's firing. Johnson, according to

1418
01:06:20,400 --> 01:06:25,160
Speaker 2: this report, considered the ownership group led by owner Josh Harris,

1419
01:06:25,920 --> 01:06:28,280
Speaker 2: seventy six ers owner also as well as Hall of

1420
01:06:28,320 --> 01:06:30,960
Speaker 2: Famer Magic Johnson, one of the great basketball players of

1421
01:06:31,000 --> 01:06:34,920
Speaker 2: all time. He saw them as quote, basketball guys, and

1422
01:06:35,040 --> 01:06:36,440
Speaker 2: that's not gonna work.

1423
01:06:36,480 --> 01:06:39,240
Speaker 3: You know, it's not gonna work. Football is completely different

1424
01:06:39,280 --> 01:06:40,480
Speaker 3: than basketball.

1425
01:06:40,120 --> 01:06:42,400
Speaker 2: And he believed that they were, according to this report,

1426
01:06:42,600 --> 01:06:46,040
Speaker 2: overly confident about their football knowledge. The report then also

1427
01:06:46,520 --> 01:06:50,520
Speaker 2: throughout there that Johnson fared poorly in his interview.

1428
01:06:50,720 --> 01:06:52,400
Speaker 3: So back and forth they go.

1429
01:06:52,680 --> 01:06:55,920
Speaker 5: Well, it's but here's the thing Washington started and then

1430
01:06:56,040 --> 01:06:58,680
Speaker 5: I don't love you started it that Ben Johnson's agent

1431
01:06:59,000 --> 01:07:00,880
Speaker 5: very likely is the one that comes back with this

1432
01:07:01,040 --> 01:07:04,960
Speaker 5: basketball guy stuff. But they started it immediately saying like

1433
01:07:05,320 --> 01:07:07,840
Speaker 5: he didn't interview. Well, now there's this report in the

1434
01:07:07,920 --> 01:07:11,600
Speaker 5: Athletic that he he seems not really like a leader,

1435
01:07:11,960 --> 01:07:13,800
Speaker 5: that he's more just a guy in a lab, you know,

1436
01:07:13,880 --> 01:07:16,360
Speaker 5: cooking up schemes and doesn't deal with But you were

1437
01:07:16,480 --> 01:07:18,440
Speaker 5: going to hire him, and no one was denying that.

1438
01:07:18,560 --> 01:07:20,560
Speaker 5: They were literally on the plane to hire him. First

1439
01:07:20,560 --> 01:07:23,720
Speaker 5: of all, that's completely disrespectful to Aaron Glenn, who they

1440
01:07:23,760 --> 01:07:26,520
Speaker 5: were also going to interview. It makes it obvious that

1441
01:07:26,640 --> 01:07:28,760
Speaker 5: that was a sham interview that they were just doing

1442
01:07:29,080 --> 01:07:31,480
Speaker 5: to check a Rooney real box. So you're saying like, oh,

1443
01:07:31,560 --> 01:07:32,600
Speaker 5: how is this going to make you?

1444
01:07:32,640 --> 01:07:32,680
Speaker 12: Know?

1445
01:07:32,720 --> 01:07:34,640
Speaker 5: Ben Johnson? Look around? Like, how does it make how

1446
01:07:34,640 --> 01:07:35,520
Speaker 5: does it make you look?

1447
01:07:36,040 --> 01:07:36,160
Speaker 11: Uh?

1448
01:07:37,040 --> 01:07:40,080
Speaker 5: I don't know. This stuff drives me crazy.

1449
01:07:40,040 --> 01:07:40,480
Speaker 3: There it does.

1450
01:07:40,800 --> 01:07:43,200
Speaker 6: I think you're if you're a Commander's fan, like you

1451
01:07:43,640 --> 01:07:49,640
Speaker 6: just exited a completely darkest Night's great with Dan happened?

1452
01:07:49,640 --> 01:07:50,600
Speaker 3: Okay, leadership.

1453
01:07:50,640 --> 01:07:52,000
Speaker 5: I remember what I was trying to think of was

1454
01:07:52,120 --> 01:07:54,600
Speaker 5: part of that athletic report was they were going to

1455
01:07:54,680 --> 01:07:57,360
Speaker 5: hire Mike McDonald too. They wanted to hire Mike McDonald

1456
01:07:58,000 --> 01:08:01,480
Speaker 5: and McDonald make Quinn the fourth the third choice, and

1457
01:08:01,600 --> 01:08:05,720
Speaker 5: McDonald chose the Seahawks over him because, according to Washington,

1458
01:08:05,760 --> 01:08:08,280
Speaker 5: and I don't necessarily believe this, but that Seattle outspent him.

1459
01:08:08,680 --> 01:08:10,960
Speaker 5: My guess is the money was good in both places,

1460
01:08:11,000 --> 01:08:13,040
Speaker 5: and McDonald picked the place that just seemed like the better.

1461
01:08:13,240 --> 01:08:15,160
Speaker 6: It's like, I guess if you're Ben Johnson, like I

1462
01:08:15,640 --> 01:08:18,680
Speaker 6: why Burn Bridges, Like I know that Wash, I know

1463
01:08:18,800 --> 01:08:21,360
Speaker 6: that the Washington Organization started a lot of this, but

1464
01:08:21,400 --> 01:08:24,599
Speaker 6: it's like Ben Johnson's camp has responded a couple different times,

1465
01:08:24,680 --> 01:08:27,439
Speaker 6: like you're back in the coaching search mix a year

1466
01:08:27,479 --> 01:08:29,599
Speaker 6: from now, and it's like, all we we now think

1467
01:08:30,120 --> 01:08:31,720
Speaker 6: different things about you than we did well.

1468
01:08:32,000 --> 01:08:34,720
Speaker 5: I think well when he kept turning people down to

1469
01:08:34,840 --> 01:08:35,599
Speaker 5: and he still got.

1470
01:08:35,520 --> 01:08:37,960
Speaker 6: If you said that, yeah, but chip Kelly also became well.

1471
01:08:38,320 --> 01:08:40,960
Speaker 6: Chip Kelly was a pretty difficult person to work with

1472
01:08:41,080 --> 01:08:41,559
Speaker 6: by the end.

1473
01:08:41,560 --> 01:08:44,439
Speaker 2: Too sure, and was the commanders who leaked at first

1474
01:08:44,479 --> 01:08:45,680
Speaker 2: that he interviewed poorly.

1475
01:08:45,560 --> 01:08:47,519
Speaker 5: He's it really started that way.

1476
01:08:47,880 --> 01:08:50,519
Speaker 2: Yes, so you can kind of understand that if Johnson's

1477
01:08:50,560 --> 01:08:54,920
Speaker 2: camp wants to say, wait a second, I it's just it's.

1478
01:08:54,800 --> 01:08:57,599
Speaker 6: All soiled now. We're like, like literally a fortnight ago,

1479
01:08:57,680 --> 01:08:59,040
Speaker 6: Ben Johnson was like the bell.

1480
01:08:58,960 --> 01:08:59,360
Speaker 3: Of the ball.

1481
01:08:59,720 --> 01:09:02,880
Speaker 5: I just think though the idea though that oh he

1482
01:09:03,080 --> 01:09:05,479
Speaker 5: turned us down while we were in the plane. That's

1483
01:09:05,560 --> 01:09:08,600
Speaker 5: not how you do things. I think it's just like

1484
01:09:08,720 --> 01:09:12,599
Speaker 5: these billionaires not liking getting looking bad and getting turned

1485
01:09:12,640 --> 01:09:15,599
Speaker 5: down and having like a commoner like say no, we're

1486
01:09:15,720 --> 01:09:16,479
Speaker 5: actually you're not good.

1487
01:09:16,680 --> 01:09:18,160
Speaker 3: What if common what.

1488
01:09:18,280 --> 01:09:20,280
Speaker 5: If how they look at the coach mark?

1489
01:09:20,320 --> 01:09:22,720
Speaker 2: What if Stu Gotts came out and said I don't

1490
01:09:22,720 --> 01:09:26,320
Speaker 2: think Sessler had a good show today. Would you come

1491
01:09:26,400 --> 01:09:28,840
Speaker 2: out publicly and return fire or would you let that

1492
01:09:28,960 --> 01:09:32,000
Speaker 2: sit untouched? I think my history is unmolested. My history

1493
01:09:32,040 --> 01:09:33,360
Speaker 2: suggests what I've what I've done with.

1494
01:09:33,600 --> 01:09:37,360
Speaker 6: You know Stu Gotts's initial slash at my identity, which

1495
01:09:37,560 --> 01:09:40,800
Speaker 6: was kind of play ball with it in a playful way.

1496
01:09:40,920 --> 01:09:42,760
Speaker 6: Not I didn't reach out to him personally. It's like

1497
01:09:43,200 --> 01:09:45,519
Speaker 6: he doesn't really know anything about me. But if he

1498
01:09:45,960 --> 01:09:48,439
Speaker 6: if he if he dug in, if he dug in, like,

1499
01:09:48,600 --> 01:09:50,680
Speaker 6: you know, as a trenchant listener and thought I had

1500
01:09:50,720 --> 01:09:52,040
Speaker 6: a bad show, I'd have to think about that a

1501
01:09:52,040 --> 01:09:54,599
Speaker 6: little differently, right, But then I'll go, I'll go listen

1502
01:09:54,640 --> 01:09:57,000
Speaker 6: to his show and I'll you know, I'll see what

1503
01:09:57,080 --> 01:09:59,599
Speaker 6: I think. I'm not trying to start a feud there.

1504
01:09:59,640 --> 01:10:02,280
Speaker 6: I'm sure is a capable, nice person. Why don't make

1505
01:10:02,360 --> 01:10:03,720
Speaker 6: don't ask me this question? Is then I just go

1506
01:10:03,800 --> 01:10:04,280
Speaker 6: down that road.

1507
01:10:04,680 --> 01:10:08,720
Speaker 3: That's not helping. I mean, how about that guy? Who

1508
01:10:08,880 --> 01:10:11,439
Speaker 3: is that guy? You set the table for personal chaos

1509
01:10:11,520 --> 01:10:14,920
Speaker 3: and I don't need it. The whole key is just

1510
01:10:15,040 --> 01:10:17,719
Speaker 3: to just keep your mouth shut and let the talking continue,

1511
01:10:18,479 --> 01:10:21,760
Speaker 3: all right, to know, all right? In other news and

1512
01:10:22,080 --> 01:10:22,920
Speaker 3: other news.

1513
01:10:22,760 --> 01:10:29,200
Speaker 2: News news, let's get on the coaching carousel. That was

1514
01:10:29,280 --> 01:10:32,360
Speaker 2: merely illuminating. Like the idea that if somebody comes after you.

1515
01:10:32,560 --> 01:10:35,280
Speaker 6: I know, but you know, anybody, I'll just walk right

1516
01:10:35,360 --> 01:10:37,439
Speaker 6: into the lions den on the on those situation.

1517
01:10:37,520 --> 01:10:40,240
Speaker 2: That's that's all Ben did. Ben was like, whoa, you're

1518
01:10:40,280 --> 01:10:41,760
Speaker 2: making me look bad. I'm still going to get a

1519
01:10:41,880 --> 01:10:44,080
Speaker 2: job down the line, Like, yeah, I'm not gonna.

1520
01:10:43,840 --> 01:10:46,559
Speaker 3: Stand for this. We have agents.

1521
01:10:46,600 --> 01:10:50,240
Speaker 2: You could leak something, Oh you should leak something I

1522
01:10:50,320 --> 01:10:52,880
Speaker 2: will try that. That's perfect because then you don't have

1523
01:10:52,960 --> 01:10:53,479
Speaker 2: to be out front.

1524
01:10:53,520 --> 01:10:56,040

Speaker 6: I saw him having a very hushed conversation with one

1553
01:12:17,520 --> 01:12:20,000
Speaker 6: member of our media team, and I was thinking, like,

1554

Speaker 6: something's going on there, and then bang, this happening.

1555

1557
01:12:32,320 --> 01:12:35,000
Speaker 6: I would say one thing I know, like Liam Cohen

1558
01:12:35,080 --> 01:12:37,479
Speaker 6: has been a kind of hot and cold guy. He

1559
01:12:37,640 --> 01:12:41,480
Speaker 6: was with Kentucky, but like he was Baker Mayfield's offensive

1560
01:12:41,520 --> 01:12:44,640
Speaker 6: coordinator when Mayfield was with the Rams and executed the

1561
01:12:44,680 --> 01:12:47,599
Speaker 6: Raiders after that like two day stay with the Rams,

1562
01:12:47,640 --> 01:12:49,960
Speaker 6: and so I wonder if that helps or hurts or

1563
01:12:50,000 --> 01:12:51,400
Speaker 6: what like he knows Baker.

1564
01:12:51,160 --> 01:12:53,320
Speaker 5: May I think it helped. But he is one of

1565
01:12:53,360 --> 01:12:57,160
Speaker 5: the only guys that's kind of come into working with

1566
01:12:57,240 --> 01:13:00,960
Speaker 5: McVeigh and then McVeigh count Let's go very quick getsy

1567
01:13:01,600 --> 01:13:04,120
Speaker 5: felt like a little bit of a backup choice. He

1568
01:13:04,240 --> 01:13:06,640
Speaker 5: loved Justin Fields, so you do wonder like, is there

1569
01:13:06,680 --> 01:13:09,400
Speaker 5: a connection there that the Raiders might go get justin Fields?

1570
01:13:09,439 --> 01:13:13,519
Speaker 5: And then Alex van Pelt just feels like the Patriots

1571
01:13:13,560 --> 01:13:17,559
Speaker 5: are just kind of getting scraps scraps here. Eric enemy

1572
01:13:17,560 --> 01:13:19,479
Speaker 5: doesn't have a job either right now. Like that, that

1573
01:13:19,520 --> 01:13:22,439
Speaker 5: would have been a totally different direction for, for instance,

1574
01:13:22,479 --> 01:13:25,360
Speaker 5: the Patriots to go or even the Saints Clint Kobiak

1575
01:13:25,680 --> 01:13:27,320
Speaker 5: just because the last name he assume is going to

1576
01:13:27,360 --> 01:13:28,679
Speaker 5: be good, but you don't really.

1577
01:13:28,560 --> 01:13:31,519
Speaker 2: Know God point about the enemy, it's that's there is.

1578
01:13:31,880 --> 01:13:35,679
Speaker 2: I admire him his decision he made because he wanted

1579
01:13:35,760 --> 01:13:40,599
Speaker 2: to try to ascend and eventually get a head coaching job,

1580
01:13:40,680 --> 01:13:43,640
Speaker 2: so he left the nest in Kansas City, which was

1581
01:13:43,680 --> 01:13:48,240
Speaker 2: a nice nest to be in. But now we can backfires.

1582
01:13:48,240 --> 01:13:49,759
Speaker 2: You end up on a coaching staff where it doesn't

1583
01:13:49,760 --> 01:13:51,160
Speaker 2: work out, and now he's floats.

1584
01:13:51,200 --> 01:13:53,400
Speaker 5: You can always go back, though, And it's crazy to

1585
01:13:53,479 --> 01:13:57,080
Speaker 5: think Mike McDonald gets hired as a head coach right

1586
01:13:57,640 --> 01:14:01,080
Speaker 5: three of his assistants are now defensive core. That's outrageous

1587
01:14:01,160 --> 01:14:06,240
Speaker 5: for one offseason. Weaver is in Miami, right, Dinnard Wilson

1588
01:14:06,400 --> 01:14:10,880
Speaker 5: is in Tennessee, and then Connor Orr's buddy Zach is

1589
01:14:10,960 --> 01:14:11,400
Speaker 5: taking over.

1590
01:14:11,439 --> 01:14:14,920
Speaker 2: And also a reminder that the NFL is painfully unoriginal.

1591
01:14:15,320 --> 01:14:17,920
Speaker 2: Everyone just copies each other. And this year it's like

1592
01:14:18,040 --> 01:14:21,599
Speaker 2: we want the Ravens defense all right, quickly developing tree. Finally,

1593
01:14:21,680 --> 01:14:24,560
Speaker 2: in the news, it is time Greg to say so

1594
01:14:24,920 --> 01:14:28,400
Speaker 2: so long to really one of your old all time favorites.

1595
01:14:28,880 --> 01:14:32,439
Speaker 2: Before Gino Smith, it was Teddy Bridgewater, who is your guy?

1596
01:14:33,040 --> 01:14:36,920
Speaker 2: And he is announced, after a final year of holding

1597
01:14:36,960 --> 01:14:40,200
Speaker 2: a clipboard in Detroit, that he is retiring from professional football.

1598
01:14:40,479 --> 01:14:43,280
Speaker 2: He's going into coaching at the high school level. So

1599
01:14:43,479 --> 01:14:45,799
Speaker 2: never again, Greg, can you tell us that Teddy Bridgewater

1600
01:14:45,840 --> 01:14:48,040
Speaker 2: would be a great sign for a team looking for

1601
01:14:48,320 --> 01:14:48,919
Speaker 2: a quarterback?

1602
01:14:49,200 --> 01:14:51,000
Speaker 3: Well, never again.

1603
01:14:51,920 --> 01:14:53,920
Speaker 5: Way to pitch it as you, No.

1604
01:14:54,680 --> 01:14:56,400
Speaker 3: We can take him out of a high school coaching game.

1605
01:14:57,920 --> 01:15:01,280
Speaker 5: I will miss what a career he's had. Sean Payton

1606
01:15:01,360 --> 01:15:06,160
Speaker 5: said to Peter King in Monday Morning Quarterback this year

1607
01:15:06,280 --> 01:15:10,120
Speaker 5: that he was an all time leader and that those

1608
01:15:10,240 --> 01:15:13,680
Speaker 5: kids were lucky that he was like Ferris Bueller. He

1609
01:15:13,720 --> 01:15:16,719
Speaker 5: compared it to didn't matter where he goes, everyone follows

1610
01:15:17,160 --> 01:15:19,599
Speaker 5: Teddy Bridgewater one of the best leaders he's ever been around.

1611
01:15:19,600 --> 01:15:19,640
Speaker 7: It.

1612
01:15:19,720 --> 01:15:23,240
Speaker 3: Well, you never heard Mark or I ever disputing his character,

1613
01:15:23,840 --> 01:15:24,320
Speaker 3: not at all.

1614
01:15:25,280 --> 01:15:25,599
Speaker 5: I don't.

1615
01:15:25,840 --> 01:15:28,479
Speaker 2: That's that's for damn sure. What he came back from.

1616
01:15:28,560 --> 01:15:31,639
Speaker 2: And in general, old career, a good guy, olid career.

1617
01:15:31,800 --> 01:15:33,600
Speaker 6: Solid is as far as you can go win. In

1618
01:15:33,720 --> 01:15:36,519
Speaker 6: terms of the career though, like to be fair, Greg right, he's.

1619
01:15:36,680 --> 01:15:40,400
Speaker 5: I would say a good career. I mean better than

1620
01:15:40,439 --> 01:15:43,559
Speaker 5: the average first round out. Yeah, better than the first

1621
01:15:43,640 --> 01:15:46,360
Speaker 5: round draft average first round draft pick. Considering the injury,

1622
01:15:46,400 --> 01:15:47,000
Speaker 5: that's pretty good.

1623
01:15:47,080 --> 01:15:47,479
Speaker 3: All right.

1624
01:15:47,600 --> 01:15:49,800
Speaker 2: That's a certain bar cut you butter knife that one

1625
01:15:49,840 --> 01:15:51,760
Speaker 2: a little bit. But yes, and it's a shame what

1626
01:15:51,880 --> 01:15:54,640
Speaker 2: in the injury and how that impacted the trajectory of

1627
01:15:54,720 --> 01:15:55,080
Speaker 2: his career.

1628
01:15:56,040 --> 01:15:57,240
Speaker 3: I still remember doing that show.

1629
01:15:58,200 --> 01:15:59,400
Speaker 2: It was at the end of the summer and it

1630
01:15:59,520 --> 01:16:03,040
Speaker 2: was like, oh my god, all right, here we go,

1631
01:16:03,920 --> 01:16:07,200
Speaker 2: let's welcome in as we now, it's official. Now we're

1632
01:16:07,200 --> 01:16:10,720
Speaker 2: going to turn our attention to the big game at

1633
01:16:10,760 --> 01:16:13,519
Speaker 2: Super Bowl fifty eight coming up. Who do you want

1634
01:16:13,560 --> 01:16:14,920
Speaker 2: to talk to when you want to get into the

1635
01:16:15,040 --> 01:16:17,519
Speaker 2: x's and o's and what makes these teams tick Well.

1636
01:16:17,600 --> 01:16:19,880
Speaker 2: Of course you pick up the phone and you ask

1637
01:16:19,920 --> 01:16:22,760
Speaker 2: for Brian Baldinger, and Baldy was there for us. Here

1638
01:16:22,880 --> 01:16:24,439
Speaker 2: was a conversation that we had.

1639
01:16:39,200 --> 01:16:43,080
Speaker 3: Welcome back. Our next guest is Listen.

1640
01:16:43,160 --> 01:16:45,719
Speaker 2: He's in the Hall of Fame for guests for around

1641
01:16:45,760 --> 01:16:49,839
Speaker 2: the NFL, one of our very favorites. Noan tape dogs

1642
01:16:49,920 --> 01:16:53,840
Speaker 2: quite like Brian Baldinger. And now we welcome back to

1643
01:16:53,960 --> 01:16:56,040
Speaker 2: atn Baldy.

1644
01:16:56,240 --> 01:16:57,240
Speaker 3: What's up, bud.

1645
01:16:57,320 --> 01:17:00,000
Speaker 20: Well, nice to join you guys. Thanks for the invitation.

1646
01:17:01,000 --> 01:17:03,639
Speaker 13: You know, we're at the finish line. You know, we're

1647
01:17:03,680 --> 01:17:06,679
Speaker 13: counting down days here, you know, like ten days left

1648
01:17:06,760 --> 01:17:09,920
Speaker 13: until this thing's gonna come to a close. Everybody I know,

1649
01:17:11,720 --> 01:17:14,080
Speaker 13: most of people I know, I should say, are like

1650
01:17:14,200 --> 01:17:16,840
Speaker 13: they're sad that there's just one game left and there's

1651
01:17:16,880 --> 01:17:18,920
Speaker 13: not gonna be anything after a Super Bowl Sunday for

1652
01:17:19,000 --> 01:17:19,280
Speaker 13: a while.

1653
01:17:19,360 --> 01:17:21,880
Speaker 20: So you know, let's soak it all up right now.

1654
01:17:22,439 --> 01:17:23,840
Speaker 3: Is are there weird parallels?

1655
01:17:23,920 --> 01:17:26,519
Speaker 2: Because once you hit off season, Baldy, and you're doing

1656
01:17:26,600 --> 01:17:30,240
Speaker 2: your tropical vacations and you got the women everywhere around you.

1657
01:17:30,840 --> 01:17:33,560
Speaker 2: In some ways there's a parallel here, but instead of

1658
01:17:33,920 --> 01:17:37,439
Speaker 2: women all around you, you're doing podcasts, with doe pale

1659
01:17:37,479 --> 01:17:38,519
Speaker 2: whites such as ourselves.

1660
01:17:38,880 --> 01:17:39,880
Speaker 20: That's true. That's true.

1661
01:17:39,960 --> 01:17:43,800
Speaker 13: So whoever wants to, you know, invite me in and

1662
01:17:44,000 --> 01:17:46,880
Speaker 13: talk about this great American game of ours. Like I

1663
01:17:47,320 --> 01:17:50,160
Speaker 13: try to make the time. I never really get tired

1664
01:17:50,200 --> 01:17:53,080
Speaker 13: of doing it because it's just so interesting on so

1665
01:17:53,160 --> 01:17:55,680
Speaker 13: many different levels. But yes, when it's over, like I

1666
01:17:55,760 --> 01:17:58,160
Speaker 13: always say, like the bet, the only thing better than

1667
01:17:58,200 --> 01:18:01,600
Speaker 13: working is not working, you know, if I'm diving with

1668
01:18:01,760 --> 01:18:05,160
Speaker 13: reef sharks in Belize two weeks from today, like I'm

1669
01:18:05,200 --> 01:18:07,240
Speaker 13: not gonna I'm not going to miss any of this,

1670
01:18:07,840 --> 01:18:09,760
Speaker 13: you know, but while I'm here, I'm gonna give it

1671
01:18:09,800 --> 01:18:10,400
Speaker 13: everything I got.

1672
01:18:11,200 --> 01:18:12,559
Speaker 3: All right, let's get into the game.

1673
01:18:12,640 --> 01:18:15,760
Speaker 2: Then the game, because I know, and Baldy you heard

1674
01:18:15,800 --> 01:18:17,519
Speaker 2: it and maybe you felt the same way too. The

1675
01:18:17,560 --> 01:18:22,000
Speaker 2: way Championship Sunday set up, there was this idea that

1676
01:18:22,280 --> 01:18:25,960
Speaker 2: Super Bowl Sunday could be really unique, and then instead

1677
01:18:26,000 --> 01:18:29,800
Speaker 2: what we get as Chiefs Niners, which from one point

1678
01:18:29,840 --> 01:18:33,080
Speaker 2: of view is a little redundant. From another, I mean,

1679
01:18:33,200 --> 01:18:35,960
Speaker 2: doesn't this feel like we're set up for You can

1680
01:18:36,040 --> 01:18:38,920
Speaker 2: never guarantee classics or games that are going to go

1681
01:18:39,000 --> 01:18:40,960
Speaker 2: down to the wire, but you look at these teams,

1682
01:18:41,000 --> 01:18:42,080
Speaker 2: you see them as pretty even.

1683
01:18:42,920 --> 01:18:44,479
Speaker 20: Yep, I do. I see them pretty even.

1684
01:18:44,840 --> 01:18:45,160
Speaker 3: I see.

1685
01:18:45,240 --> 01:18:46,960
Speaker 13: I mean, you can pitch a case for both teams.

1686
01:18:47,000 --> 01:18:50,960
Speaker 13: It's at this stage of this dynasty that the Chiefs

1687
01:18:51,000 --> 01:18:53,559
Speaker 13: are in the middle of kind of hard to root

1688
01:18:53,600 --> 01:18:56,160
Speaker 13: against or just think that anybody has a chance against

1689
01:18:56,240 --> 01:19:00,160
Speaker 13: Mahomes and Andy Reid and Spags and Travis Kelsey. It

1690
01:19:00,320 --> 01:19:02,280
Speaker 13: just seems hard that anybody's gonna beat him. But if

1691
01:19:02,280 --> 01:19:04,880
Speaker 13: there's one team that is set up that can do it,

1692
01:19:05,320 --> 01:19:08,840
Speaker 13: that has the coaching, the personnel, the talent, like it's

1693
01:19:08,960 --> 01:19:13,360
Speaker 13: San Francisco and so I feel like we got a

1694
01:19:13,400 --> 01:19:15,479
Speaker 13: good matchup. But I think any one of the four

1695
01:19:16,040 --> 01:19:20,600
Speaker 13: we could literally without even thinking, draw up twenty storylines

1696
01:19:21,080 --> 01:19:24,040
Speaker 13: and we could just like feed off of those storylines

1697
01:19:24,080 --> 01:19:26,439
Speaker 13: that would just be there. Obviously, if Detroit was here

1698
01:19:26,479 --> 01:19:29,720
Speaker 13: and said, you know, we'd have a field day just

1699
01:19:30,040 --> 01:19:32,800
Speaker 13: you know, see him another shot at Barry Sanders, you know,

1700
01:19:32,960 --> 01:19:35,679
Speaker 13: on the sideline, just doing anything, just being Barry Sanders

1701
01:19:35,760 --> 01:19:36,080
Speaker 13: is fun.

1702
01:19:36,120 --> 01:19:39,880
Speaker 20: But but this is what we got. So I think

1703
01:19:39,920 --> 01:19:42,360
Speaker 20: it's it's fascinating and it's repeating.

1704
01:19:43,120 --> 01:19:48,120
Speaker 13: You know, can this uh this kid at quarterback named

1705
01:19:48,120 --> 01:19:51,360
Speaker 13: Brock Purdy that nobody seems to really want to respect

1706
01:19:51,880 --> 01:19:52,559
Speaker 13: at this stage.

1707
01:19:52,680 --> 01:19:55,439
Speaker 20: Can he rise up and slay you know?

1708
01:19:55,840 --> 01:19:58,840
Speaker 13: Can he slay mahomes here? And like all those things

1709
01:19:58,880 --> 01:20:00,880
Speaker 13: are out there, it's gonna be fantast Baldy.

1710
01:20:01,000 --> 01:20:04,519
Speaker 6: You you have called this week rock party, you titled

1711
01:20:05,280 --> 01:20:08,280
Speaker 6: and I love this the Silent Assassin and I there

1712
01:20:08,360 --> 01:20:10,880
Speaker 6: is this discourse and it's been going on all year

1713
01:20:10,920 --> 01:20:13,320
Speaker 6: and last year. It's like it's too good to be

1714
01:20:13,400 --> 01:20:15,679
Speaker 6: true because of his draft stock, where he came from.

1715
01:20:16,040 --> 01:20:18,200
Speaker 6: It's simply he's supported by the team around him. But

1716
01:20:18,400 --> 01:20:20,640
Speaker 6: it's clear that you see something else. So for the

1717
01:20:20,680 --> 01:20:23,280
Speaker 6: people out there that believe in brock Purty, what is

1718
01:20:23,320 --> 01:20:25,480
Speaker 6: it you see? Why is he the silent Assassin?

1719
01:20:26,560 --> 01:20:29,400
Speaker 13: Because first of all, he plays the game with no fear.

1720
01:20:29,960 --> 01:20:31,960
Speaker 13: And you can put up any bad play that he's had.

1721
01:20:32,040 --> 01:20:36,200
Speaker 13: We've seen a few of them, especially down stretch. It

1722
01:20:36,360 --> 01:20:38,320
Speaker 13: never affects him in the next series, like he can

1723
01:20:38,439 --> 01:20:40,880
Speaker 13: flush it the way you have to, and he doesn't.

1724
01:20:41,000 --> 01:20:43,599
Speaker 13: He doesn't need a psychiatry a sideline to get him

1725
01:20:43,640 --> 01:20:44,840
Speaker 13: out of any kind of a fure. He doesn't go

1726
01:20:44,920 --> 01:20:48,160
Speaker 13: into a funk like you know, and and that he

1727
01:20:48,200 --> 01:20:51,559
Speaker 13: can make every single throw. You can say, like they

1728
01:20:51,720 --> 01:20:54,120
Speaker 13: love to attack the middle of the field. That's what

1729
01:20:54,240 --> 01:20:57,200
Speaker 13: Shanahan does. That's what Mike March did with Kurt Warner.

1730
01:20:57,680 --> 01:20:59,320
Speaker 13: They attacked the middle of the middle of the field

1731
01:20:59,400 --> 01:21:02,720
Speaker 13: is dangerous. Balls get tipped, balls get intercepted. You have

1732
01:21:02,840 --> 01:21:05,280
Speaker 13: to layer throws in the middle of the field. You

1733
01:21:05,360 --> 01:21:09,200
Speaker 13: have to layer them over linebackers and dropping defensive linemen

1734
01:21:09,320 --> 01:21:13,040
Speaker 13: sometimes all that stuff. And yet he makes those throws routine.

1735
01:21:13,800 --> 01:21:15,760
Speaker 13: He made a throw to Deebo Samuel. We all saw

1736
01:21:15,800 --> 01:21:18,640
Speaker 13: it at the start of the third quarter, and like

1737
01:21:18,760 --> 01:21:20,320
Speaker 13: he just hit his fifth step and let it rip

1738
01:21:20,840 --> 01:21:22,559
Speaker 13: like the way you have to throw it with no fear,

1739
01:21:22,880 --> 01:21:25,080
Speaker 13: right in the middle of a four man zone. Detroit's

1740
01:21:25,360 --> 01:21:27,840
Speaker 13: sitting there, and he hit Deebo like it was t ball.

1741
01:21:28,280 --> 01:21:29,760
Speaker 13: You know, he just like he just took it right

1742
01:21:29,800 --> 01:21:32,120
Speaker 13: off the tee and just kept going. And you know

1743
01:21:32,240 --> 01:21:35,880
Speaker 13: that sort of ability to do that, I mean, I

1744
01:21:35,920 --> 01:21:39,080
Speaker 13: didn't think Jimmy Garoppolo could do that on with regularity

1745
01:21:39,160 --> 01:21:39,960
Speaker 13: the way this kid does.

1746
01:21:40,040 --> 01:21:42,880
Speaker 20: And so I just think whatever they ask him to do,

1747
01:21:43,080 --> 01:21:43,439
Speaker 20: he can do.

1748
01:21:43,560 --> 01:21:45,640
Speaker 13: And he's got to scramble for fifty two yards and

1749
01:21:45,760 --> 01:21:47,960
Speaker 13: three runs in the second half, or whether he's got

1750
01:21:48,080 --> 01:21:50,559
Speaker 13: to you know, roll out of the pocket and avoid pressure.

1751
01:21:50,600 --> 01:21:53,280
Speaker 13: He does that, and whether he's got to understand the

1752
01:21:53,320 --> 01:21:56,080
Speaker 13: situation where just get rid of the ball is better

1753
01:21:56,160 --> 01:21:57,360
Speaker 13: and to go to the next down.

1754
01:21:57,439 --> 01:21:57,840
Speaker 1: He does that.

1755
01:21:59,080 --> 01:22:01,880
Speaker 13: And then you know, somebody has to feed all of

1756
01:22:01,960 --> 01:22:04,680
Speaker 13: these talented players that the forty nine ers have, and

1757
01:22:04,800 --> 01:22:08,360
Speaker 13: he feeds them all. They're all having good seasons. None

1758
01:22:08,400 --> 01:22:11,000
Speaker 13: of them are not eating it and not feeding off

1759
01:22:11,040 --> 01:22:12,800
Speaker 13: of this, and so it starts with him.

1760
01:22:13,439 --> 01:22:15,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, I do want to get to the forty nine

1761
01:22:16,040 --> 01:22:18,240
Speaker 5: Ers defense, which to me is so different than the

1762
01:22:18,320 --> 01:22:20,280
Speaker 5: last time these teams played in the Super Bowl. While

1763
01:22:20,320 --> 01:22:23,400
Speaker 5: we're on Brocket just thinking of this matchup with Spagnolo

1764
01:22:23,840 --> 01:22:27,679
Speaker 5: and the Chiefs defense, just how do you think Purdy

1765
01:22:28,120 --> 01:22:33,880
Speaker 5: and Shanahan will react to all the different looks that

1766
01:22:34,120 --> 01:22:38,479
Speaker 5: Spagnolo throws at him because Lamar Jackson obviously didn't handle

1767
01:22:38,560 --> 01:22:40,640
Speaker 5: that very well. And one thing we've seen with this

1768
01:22:40,760 --> 01:22:44,120
Speaker 5: Chiefs defense, also different than the four or five years ago,

1769
01:22:44,560 --> 01:22:46,479
Speaker 5: is man, they can change a lot throughout a game,

1770
01:22:46,920 --> 01:22:50,080
Speaker 5: throughout a week to week, throughout a series. They just

1771
01:22:50,280 --> 01:22:52,120
Speaker 5: never show you the same thing twice. How do you

1772
01:22:52,160 --> 01:22:54,120
Speaker 5: think like Perdy and Shanahan deal with that.

1773
01:22:54,800 --> 01:22:57,840
Speaker 13: I remember one time, I'll just I ask your question, Greg,

1774
01:22:57,880 --> 01:22:59,880
Speaker 13: but I remember one time Spags was on Jim john

1775
01:23:00,200 --> 01:23:03,320
Speaker 13: Staff and Philly and they went up to play Tom

1776
01:23:03,400 --> 01:23:07,360
Speaker 13: Brady and the Patriots. And to your point about versatility

1777
01:23:07,439 --> 01:23:10,160
Speaker 13: and changing fronts and all that stuff, literally, Jim Johnson

1778
01:23:10,240 --> 01:23:14,479
Speaker 13: gave Brady a different defense each quarter he started because

1779
01:23:14,479 --> 01:23:16,400
Speaker 13: they knew he would adjust. At halftime. He goes, we

1780
01:23:16,479 --> 01:23:18,880
Speaker 13: can't wait to have time to change. So literally, Jim

1781
01:23:18,960 --> 01:23:20,680
Speaker 13: Johnson came up with this idea, Let's give him four

1782
01:23:20,720 --> 01:23:23,519
Speaker 13: different defenses. We'll play a different one each quarter, and

1783
01:23:23,600 --> 01:23:26,920
Speaker 13: let's see if Brady and the Patriots adjust. So, I

1784
01:23:27,000 --> 01:23:30,280
Speaker 13: mean even in the playoffs. Now, Spaggs played a totally

1785
01:23:30,360 --> 01:23:33,360
Speaker 13: different defense against Buffalo in the playoffs, and he did

1786
01:23:33,439 --> 01:23:37,240
Speaker 13: week fourteen, and so last week he said, well, we'll

1787
01:23:37,240 --> 01:23:41,799
Speaker 13: play three big linebackers. We'll play Bolton and Tranquil and Chanal,

1788
01:23:42,120 --> 01:23:45,240
Speaker 13: and we'll stuff to run, but we'll leave our corners exposed.

1789
01:23:45,680 --> 01:23:48,600
Speaker 13: And if lamar Cot beat you know, Lugerius or you

1790
01:23:48,680 --> 01:23:52,080
Speaker 13: know Trent or Jalen or Joshua whoever out there, then

1791
01:23:52,080 --> 01:23:54,040
Speaker 13: they beat him and they couldn't beat him. You know,

1792
01:23:54,280 --> 01:23:56,040
Speaker 13: they got one deep ball down the field and one

1793
01:23:56,120 --> 01:23:57,920
Speaker 13: for a touchdown on a scramble driw. Other than that,

1794
01:23:58,120 --> 01:24:00,400
Speaker 13: like they were oh for eight on some of those

1795
01:24:00,439 --> 01:24:04,479
Speaker 13: deep shots. So what's I think Spags will start by saying, Okay,

1796
01:24:04,560 --> 01:24:07,080
Speaker 13: McCaffrey is a guy you got to stop. Like I

1797
01:24:07,200 --> 01:24:09,000
Speaker 13: feel like and how now, how are they going to

1798
01:24:09,040 --> 01:24:10,400
Speaker 13: do that? What front are they going to play? Their

1799
01:24:10,640 --> 01:24:12,680
Speaker 13: their mind is noddy, their minu is a man who

1800
01:24:12,920 --> 01:24:15,040
Speaker 13: they're down numbers, Like, what is this going to be

1801
01:24:15,160 --> 01:24:19,719
Speaker 13: their method to basically stop and McCaffrey from getting going

1802
01:24:20,080 --> 01:24:24,840
Speaker 13: and discouraging Shanahan from just feeding him the way they

1803
01:24:25,120 --> 01:24:28,360
Speaker 13: have all year long? So I mean that's just one take, Greg.

1804
01:24:28,920 --> 01:24:32,400
Speaker 13: But the good thing is, you know they had the

1805
01:24:32,520 --> 01:24:34,800
Speaker 13: six rookies a year ago, they all got in the field.

1806
01:24:34,840 --> 01:24:36,920
Speaker 13: They started four rookies in the Super Bowl. Like all

1807
01:24:36,960 --> 01:24:40,960
Speaker 13: these kids now are very experienced players. And you know,

1808
01:24:41,080 --> 01:24:43,719
Speaker 13: I saw this t shirt down the field in Baltimore

1809
01:24:43,760 --> 01:24:47,160
Speaker 13: the other day. Spags hates it, but they all have

1810
01:24:47,200 --> 01:24:49,920
Speaker 13: a T shirt that says in Spags we trust. And

1811
01:24:50,040 --> 01:24:53,760
Speaker 13: I really feel like they're all like they're all like

1812
01:24:53,800 --> 01:24:55,360
Speaker 13: they're in the classroom, and they all want to be

1813
01:24:55,400 --> 01:24:55,960
Speaker 13: in the front row.

1814
01:24:56,439 --> 01:24:58,080
Speaker 20: They all like, what's he going to do this week?

1815
01:24:58,120 --> 01:25:00,280
Speaker 20: How are we going to do this? What's what's the plan?

1816
01:25:00,760 --> 01:25:02,360
Speaker 20: And I think he's just got them all buying in

1817
01:25:02,520 --> 01:25:04,040
Speaker 20: right now to whatever that plan is.

1818
01:25:04,600 --> 01:25:07,439
Speaker 2: I have an idea, by the way, because everybody knows

1819
01:25:08,120 --> 01:25:11,759
Speaker 2: one of Baldi's greatest hits is and what he regularly

1820
01:25:13,400 --> 01:25:16,040
Speaker 2: it goes off on social media and virals the hashtag

1821
01:25:16,080 --> 01:25:20,120
Speaker 2: Baldise breakdowns. We have some very talented people that listen

1822
01:25:20,160 --> 01:25:23,960
Speaker 2: to this show. In terms of artistic merit. Can we

1823
01:25:24,080 --> 01:25:28,120
Speaker 2: get someone in the vein of the ins bags we trust,

1824
01:25:28,960 --> 01:25:31,479
Speaker 2: but in Baldi we trust, and then make sure he

1825
01:25:31,600 --> 01:25:35,639
Speaker 2: gets the the laser eyes also study like tape dogging.

1826
01:25:35,680 --> 01:25:37,439
Speaker 2: If we can get some type of T shirt design,

1827
01:25:37,800 --> 01:25:39,120
Speaker 2: maybe we can make a T shirt.

1828
01:25:39,520 --> 01:25:41,960
Speaker 20: Let's just get the clicker ya the clicker involved.

1829
01:25:43,400 --> 01:25:46,680
Speaker 2: Actually, you know, I have a great idea, Baldi. Can

1830
01:25:46,760 --> 01:25:48,519
Speaker 2: you can we get like an action shot of you

1831
01:25:48,600 --> 01:25:50,320
Speaker 2: with the clicker. We'll screen grab it and people could

1832
01:25:50,439 --> 01:25:52,560
Speaker 2: use that as the basis for the T shirt. That

1833
01:25:52,560 --> 01:25:53,599
Speaker 2: would be very helpful.

1834
01:25:53,880 --> 01:25:55,280
Speaker 20: Absolutely, we'll get that done.

1835
01:25:55,680 --> 01:25:58,599
Speaker 2: All right now, My question to you back to the game.

1836
01:25:59,560 --> 01:26:02,040
Speaker 2: We're always trying to build the Baldy brand because it

1837
01:26:02,080 --> 01:26:06,320
Speaker 2: can almost be bigger. The Kansas City offense is a

1838
01:26:06,400 --> 01:26:10,799
Speaker 2: subject of fascination to me and confusion quite frankly, based

1839
01:26:10,840 --> 01:26:13,720
Speaker 2: on how much they struggle and just thinking about where

1840
01:26:13,760 --> 01:26:17,040
Speaker 2: they were Christmas Day and that horrific performance against I

1841
01:26:17,040 --> 01:26:19,720
Speaker 2: think against the Raiders, and then once they get to

1842
01:26:19,760 --> 01:26:21,640
Speaker 2: the playoffs they turn it on and now here they

1843
01:26:21,680 --> 01:26:23,360
Speaker 2: are on the super Bowl and they took care of

1844
01:26:23,400 --> 01:26:26,280
Speaker 2: business against Miami and the Cold in the first round.

1845
01:26:26,400 --> 01:26:29,720
Speaker 2: It was a pretty vintage performance against the Bills in

1846
01:26:29,840 --> 01:26:34,560
Speaker 2: divisional play. The initial game script was flawless in the

1847
01:26:34,600 --> 01:26:36,920
Speaker 2: AFC Title Game, two touchdowns on the first two drives,

1848
01:26:36,960 --> 01:26:40,120
Speaker 2: and then things obviously dried up a little bit for them.

1849
01:26:40,720 --> 01:26:42,439
Speaker 2: When you look at the team that went to the

1850
01:26:42,479 --> 01:26:45,479
Speaker 2: Super Bowl against the Eagles last year and the team

1851
01:26:45,520 --> 01:26:47,000
Speaker 2: now that's going to go to the Super Bowl against

1852
01:26:47,000 --> 01:26:50,639
Speaker 2: the forty nine ers, do you think they have another

1853
01:26:50,760 --> 01:26:53,720
Speaker 2: vintage performance in them against the San Francisco defense or

1854
01:26:53,880 --> 01:26:56,679
Speaker 2: this or is this who more or less the Chiefs

1855
01:26:56,720 --> 01:26:59,080
Speaker 2: are this year where they do enough grind it out

1856
01:26:59,120 --> 01:27:01,600
Speaker 2: and its spags in the that takes things home, like

1857
01:27:01,880 --> 01:27:03,600
Speaker 2: is there Is there a huge game left in the

1858
01:27:03,640 --> 01:27:04,960
Speaker 2: tank for this team in this core?

1859
01:27:05,439 --> 01:27:06,000
Speaker 20: Oh for sure.

1860
01:27:06,800 --> 01:27:09,680
Speaker 13: I remember I had Andy Reid on my podcast like

1861
01:27:09,800 --> 01:27:12,360
Speaker 13: mid season, and I've known Andy since he came to

1862
01:27:12,400 --> 01:27:15,840
Speaker 13: Philadelphia nineteen ninety nine. So I told him, I said,

1863
01:27:15,880 --> 01:27:18,080
Speaker 13: you know, a big red. For the first time since

1864
01:27:18,120 --> 01:27:20,360
Speaker 13: I've known you, I'm talking more about your defense than

1865
01:27:20,439 --> 01:27:23,920
Speaker 13: your offense. And he didn't disagree. He didn't disagree with it.

1866
01:27:24,040 --> 01:27:26,720
Speaker 13: The way they were kind of struggling. Quite frankly, I

1867
01:27:27,080 --> 01:27:30,639
Speaker 13: feel like they're bored. During the regular season. They look

1868
01:27:30,720 --> 01:27:33,960
Speaker 13: bored sometimes it's just because they know what it's all about.

1869
01:27:34,360 --> 01:27:36,280
Speaker 13: They know all that matters is how you play in

1870
01:27:36,360 --> 01:27:39,640
Speaker 13: January and February. And I feel like and some of

1871
01:27:39,720 --> 01:27:41,840
Speaker 13: them have just been through it for so long now.

1872
01:27:42,000 --> 01:27:44,320
Speaker 13: Maybe Create Humphrey doesn't feel that way, or Tray Smith,

1873
01:27:44,400 --> 01:27:47,840
Speaker 13: but I feel in Rashid Rice. But to a certain extent,

1874
01:27:48,479 --> 01:27:50,880
Speaker 13: there is a little bit of fatigue that we got

1875
01:27:51,000 --> 01:27:53,240
Speaker 13: to get through this thing to where it really counts,

1876
01:27:53,800 --> 01:27:56,200
Speaker 13: and we just and so now the ball doesn't hit

1877
01:27:56,200 --> 01:27:58,200
Speaker 13: the ground when it goes to Travis Kelcey. It hit

1878
01:27:58,240 --> 01:28:00,639
Speaker 13: the ground a bunch, you know, during a regular season,

1879
01:28:00,840 --> 01:28:02,920
Speaker 13: the ball hit the ground like the game plan was brilliant,

1880
01:28:02,960 --> 01:28:06,040
Speaker 13: Like how like if we had a stopwatch and how

1881
01:28:06,120 --> 01:28:08,439
Speaker 13: long the ball was in Mahomes hands for most of

1882
01:28:08,479 --> 01:28:11,680
Speaker 13: his throws, it was less than a second and a half, Like,

1883
01:28:11,840 --> 01:28:13,920
Speaker 13: because they know Ravens are his own defense, they're just

1884
01:28:14,000 --> 01:28:16,040
Speaker 13: sitting there waiting. Well, but they'll took all the four

1885
01:28:16,120 --> 01:28:19,040
Speaker 13: yard throws that you can get and then we'll turn

1886
01:28:19,120 --> 01:28:21,800
Speaker 13: those four yard throws into four yards or six or

1887
01:28:21,800 --> 01:28:24,680
Speaker 13: maybe eight yards and we'll just stay on schedule of March.

1888
01:28:24,720 --> 01:28:27,080
Speaker 13: So that's where they did. Baltimore tightened things up in

1889
01:28:27,080 --> 01:28:29,720
Speaker 13: the second half, didn't get much, but I think they

1890
01:28:29,960 --> 01:28:32,200
Speaker 13: to answer your question, yeah, I think they have another

1891
01:28:32,280 --> 01:28:33,640
Speaker 13: venture's performance left in him.

1892
01:28:34,439 --> 01:28:37,400
Speaker 6: I thought you had an interesting tweet because you'd have

1893
01:28:37,479 --> 01:28:40,799
Speaker 6: a perspective that, you know, if you outside of youth sports,

1894
01:28:40,840 --> 01:28:42,240
Speaker 6: you don't know what's happening with a lot of these

1895
01:28:42,280 --> 01:28:44,760
Speaker 6: teams where they're not on the field plane. You talked

1896
01:28:44,800 --> 01:28:48,800
Speaker 6: about the way that the Chiefs pregame warm up, how

1897
01:28:48,840 --> 01:28:51,000
Speaker 6: they practice in general, that there's something about them that

1898
01:28:51,439 --> 01:28:53,320
Speaker 6: stands out to you, and it's like, whether they were

1899
01:28:53,360 --> 01:28:56,840
Speaker 6: bored or not, they're very consistent, and like, is that

1900
01:28:57,040 --> 01:28:59,640
Speaker 6: different than the Niners. To you, is that different than

1901
01:28:59,680 --> 01:29:00,719
Speaker 6: other teams in general?

1902
01:29:01,920 --> 01:29:03,840
Speaker 13: I've watched Rock Party warm up and he's the kind

1903
01:29:03,840 --> 01:29:06,120
Speaker 13: of an amazing guy in warm ups because you could

1904
01:29:06,240 --> 01:29:09,080
Speaker 13: like literally go out there to Brock Purdy and pregame

1905
01:29:09,120 --> 01:29:11,680
Speaker 13: warm ups and you could ask him about that ice

1906
01:29:11,760 --> 01:29:14,960
Speaker 13: cream shop in ames, Iowa and what his favorite flavor was,

1907
01:29:15,040 --> 01:29:16,920
Speaker 13: and he's like he's giving you an answer.

1908
01:29:17,000 --> 01:29:17,120
Speaker 14: You know.

1909
01:29:17,640 --> 01:29:21,600
Speaker 13: But this routine of the Chiefs looks different to me.

1910
01:29:21,960 --> 01:29:25,160
Speaker 13: It looks very Peyton Manning. Like from the moment that

1911
01:29:25,320 --> 01:29:28,280
Speaker 13: Mahomes takes the field, it's like I've done I don't

1912
01:29:28,320 --> 01:29:31,639
Speaker 13: know this Mahomes has been. I've probably done twenty Chief

1913
01:29:31,720 --> 01:29:35,360
Speaker 13: games for national radio over the seven years. Like literally,

1914
01:29:35,439 --> 01:29:37,639
Speaker 13: his routine, it doesn't matter if it's twenty five below

1915
01:29:37,760 --> 01:29:39,640
Speaker 13: zero like a couple of weeks ago, or if it

1916
01:29:39,720 --> 01:29:43,280
Speaker 13: was Sunday in a misty rain. He comes out in

1917
01:29:43,360 --> 01:29:45,439
Speaker 13: his warm ups three hours for kickoff. He sits on

1918
01:29:45,520 --> 01:29:47,600
Speaker 13: a bench, he talks to the trainers, he talks to

1919
01:29:47,680 --> 01:29:50,840
Speaker 13: equipment guys, and then about an hour and a half

1920
01:29:50,840 --> 01:29:53,920
Speaker 13: before kickoff, he starts. He starts winding that arm up,

1921
01:29:54,400 --> 01:29:58,280
Speaker 13: and literally, you could take that game versus the game

1922
01:29:58,320 --> 01:30:01,840
Speaker 13: against Buffalo versus the game on Week two against Jacksonville.

1923
01:30:01,920 --> 01:30:05,479
Speaker 13: It's almost identical. And he must get at least one

1924
01:30:05,560 --> 01:30:09,200
Speaker 13: hundred throws in, and I just think like to throw obviously,

1925
01:30:09,439 --> 01:30:11,599
Speaker 13: you know, to Kelsey for the touchdown against Kyle Hamilton.

1926
01:30:11,640 --> 01:30:14,280
Speaker 13: We've all watched it. It's an amazing throw. But I

1927
01:30:14,360 --> 01:30:17,040
Speaker 13: felt like he threw that with just the exact same

1928
01:30:17,080 --> 01:30:20,400
Speaker 13: amount of ease as what you just showed right there.

1929
01:30:20,479 --> 01:30:24,439
Speaker 13: And that throw to Travis Kelcey, it feels like it

1930
01:30:24,840 --> 01:30:28,960
Speaker 13: isn't anything different in the mechanics or how he throws

1931
01:30:29,040 --> 01:30:32,400
Speaker 13: it or anything else in that pregame warm up versus

1932
01:30:32,720 --> 01:30:33,080
Speaker 13: the game.

1933
01:30:33,439 --> 01:30:35,960
Speaker 20: And I don't know that other guys that warm up

1934
01:30:37,040 --> 01:30:37,920
Speaker 20: treat it the same way.

1935
01:30:39,320 --> 01:30:41,599
Speaker 5: My favorite warm up I ever saw, and we don't

1936
01:30:41,600 --> 01:30:43,640
Speaker 5: get on the field anymore at the Super Bowls was

1937
01:30:43,680 --> 01:30:47,519
Speaker 5: Colin Kaepernick just throwing fastballs as fast as he humanly could,

1938
01:30:48,000 --> 01:30:49,880
Speaker 5: like forty straight times. I don't know what the purpose

1939
01:30:49,960 --> 01:30:52,519
Speaker 5: of that was, but it was very exciting to watch

1940
01:30:52,600 --> 01:30:55,880
Speaker 5: before that Super Bowl. Last one I have for you

1941
01:30:55,960 --> 01:30:59,240
Speaker 5: ball they just watching these last three games from the

1942
01:30:59,320 --> 01:31:01,320
Speaker 5: forty nine ers that mattered for them. The Ravens game

1943
01:31:01,360 --> 01:31:04,920
Speaker 5: and then these two playoff games. I'm just struck with it.

1944
01:31:05,040 --> 01:31:09,360
Speaker 5: And you know, what you're seeing better on tape than

1945
01:31:09,400 --> 01:31:12,160
Speaker 5: any of us do. But what I'm seeing is kind

1946
01:31:12,200 --> 01:31:13,920
Speaker 5: of shocking to me, is a team that's like maybe

1947
01:31:14,040 --> 01:31:17,120
Speaker 5: not that physical that if you only watched these three weeks,

1948
01:31:17,200 --> 01:31:20,840
Speaker 5: you would say for those three weeks, both playoff games,

1949
01:31:20,840 --> 01:31:24,320
Speaker 5: the Raven games, they got pushed around a little and

1950
01:31:24,600 --> 01:31:27,240
Speaker 5: they didn't play very well. And that's very surprising to me.

1951
01:31:27,600 --> 01:31:27,800
Speaker 12: Could.

1952
01:31:27,840 --> 01:31:29,400
Speaker 5: I know they have some weak spots, but they also

1953
01:31:29,479 --> 01:31:32,920
Speaker 5: have some great players. Do you think the Chiefs offense

1954
01:31:33,000 --> 01:31:36,040
Speaker 5: could could out tough this forty nine Ers defense?

1955
01:31:36,960 --> 01:31:37,360
Speaker 20: Definitely?

1956
01:31:37,560 --> 01:31:39,719
Speaker 13: I mean the only guy that looked like he played

1957
01:31:39,760 --> 01:31:45,559
Speaker 13: good on Sunday was Bosa. I mean I didn't think Armstead, Hargrave, Givens, Chase.

1958
01:31:45,560 --> 01:31:46,720
Speaker 13: I didn't think you everyt played good.

1959
01:31:46,760 --> 01:31:47,240
Speaker 5: Surprising.

1960
01:31:47,280 --> 01:31:49,519
Speaker 13: I didn't think they had good run fits in the

1961
01:31:49,600 --> 01:31:52,040
Speaker 13: run game. I mean, Fred Warner's going this way and

1962
01:31:52,080 --> 01:31:55,040
Speaker 13: there's you know, Arng Burks is going this way and

1963
01:31:55,160 --> 01:31:57,360
Speaker 13: like to leave in the middle open for David Montgomery.

1964
01:31:57,720 --> 01:32:00,160
Speaker 13: I'm like, that's not good defense, you know. And I

1965
01:32:00,200 --> 01:32:01,880
Speaker 13: thought they got pushed around. I didn't think the effort

1966
01:32:02,000 --> 01:32:05,120
Speaker 13: was great, it wasn't championship effort by a number of players.

1967
01:32:05,720 --> 01:32:08,080
Speaker 13: And so while Fred Warner does cover up some of

1968
01:32:08,120 --> 01:32:11,800
Speaker 13: the mistakes because of how fast he plays and how

1969
01:32:11,920 --> 01:32:16,599
Speaker 13: aggressive he is, along with Dre Greenlaw like, I didn't

1970
01:32:16,600 --> 01:32:20,200
Speaker 13: see a great defense on Sunday. And so the one

1971
01:32:20,240 --> 01:32:22,240
Speaker 13: thing the Chiefs have leaned on though, is they've become

1972
01:32:22,280 --> 01:32:25,519
Speaker 13: a good power running football team. Even with you know,

1973
01:32:26,520 --> 01:32:29,040
Speaker 13: you know, Nick Allegretti in the left guard, they still

1974
01:32:29,479 --> 01:32:32,519
Speaker 13: did a good job of pushing Baltimore round at times

1975
01:32:33,200 --> 01:32:35,439
Speaker 13: on Sunday. And but Checko got some good runs, and

1976
01:32:35,520 --> 01:32:37,840
Speaker 13: I feel like they've they've leaned on that power run

1977
01:32:37,920 --> 01:32:40,759
Speaker 13: game a little bit. Donova Smith's a better run blocker

1978
01:32:40,800 --> 01:32:42,840
Speaker 13: than one Way Morse. So I mean, I just think

1979
01:32:43,360 --> 01:32:47,120
Speaker 13: if they need to, they'll lean on it. And I

1980
01:32:47,200 --> 01:32:50,920
Speaker 13: think based on what we just saw, why wouldn't you?

1981
01:32:51,360 --> 01:32:56,280
Speaker 2: M all right Brian Baldinger, who you, of course can check.

1982
01:32:56,360 --> 01:32:59,880
Speaker 2: He's all over social media at Baldy NFL. He's got

1983
01:33:00,000 --> 01:33:03,000
Speaker 2: a couple of podcast All City Sports and on Odyssey.

1984
01:33:03,479 --> 01:33:04,240
Speaker 3: Check those out.

1985
01:33:04,400 --> 01:33:06,640
Speaker 5: You have a daily podcast, Baldi, like, how do you

1986
01:33:06,720 --> 01:33:08,920
Speaker 5: have time for a date too? Daily podcast?

1987
01:33:09,080 --> 01:33:09,839
Speaker 20: Daily podcast?

1988
01:33:10,200 --> 01:33:15,120
Speaker 13: People should that Best Football Show with Brian Balding podcasts

1989
01:33:15,160 --> 01:33:16,720
Speaker 13: from two different networks.

1990
01:33:16,560 --> 01:33:17,560
Speaker 3: The room that you're sitting in.

1991
01:33:17,840 --> 01:33:20,840
Speaker 13: Honestly, I'm just a football whore and whoever wants to

1992
01:33:20,920 --> 01:33:23,000
Speaker 13: pay me a check like I'm going to work for

1993
01:33:23,520 --> 01:33:26,160
Speaker 13: Like you know, I like that. I've never read one

1994
01:33:26,200 --> 01:33:28,880
Speaker 13: of my contracts ever. I'm just like people want me,

1995
01:33:29,240 --> 01:33:29,680
Speaker 13: You got me.

1996
01:33:29,840 --> 01:33:34,760
Speaker 2: You're normalizing football promiscuity, and I think that's healthy, by

1997
01:33:34,800 --> 01:33:37,000
Speaker 2: the way, just because I like to live vicariously through you.

1998
01:33:37,200 --> 01:33:39,400
Speaker 2: So once the season's over and you're going to belieze,

1999
01:33:39,960 --> 01:33:44,280
Speaker 2: are you more a sniping some mako sharks in the

2000
01:33:44,400 --> 01:33:46,920
Speaker 2: crow's nests with bikini babes around you? Or are you

2001
01:33:47,040 --> 01:33:50,240
Speaker 2: more like swimming with the dolphins with the bikini babes

2002
01:33:50,280 --> 01:33:50,560
Speaker 2: around you?

2003
01:33:50,640 --> 01:33:50,680
Speaker 19: Like?

2004
01:33:50,720 --> 01:33:51,479
Speaker 3: Where do you go on that?

2005
01:33:52,320 --> 01:33:52,479
Speaker 12: Well?

2006
01:33:52,520 --> 01:33:56,280
Speaker 13: I I like both species, actually all three species, all

2007
01:33:56,320 --> 01:33:58,800
Speaker 13: three of all it be honest with you.

2008
01:34:01,400 --> 01:34:03,160
Speaker 20: I mean I could elaborate, but I think I'll just

2009
01:34:03,280 --> 01:34:03,880
Speaker 20: leave it right there.

2010
01:34:04,400 --> 01:34:07,360
Speaker 2: I think everybody knows where Baldy's coming out. And finally, Eric,

2011
01:34:07,360 --> 01:34:09,559
Speaker 2: can we go to full screen on Baldi Baldy. It's

2012
01:34:09,600 --> 01:34:11,080
Speaker 2: time to get out the clicker. We're going to get

2013
01:34:11,320 --> 01:34:14,840
Speaker 2: the screenshot. That are talented people. Let's go with Let's

2014
01:34:14,880 --> 01:34:16,720
Speaker 2: make sure it's in the shot. Everyone to do some

2015
01:34:16,880 --> 01:34:19,400
Speaker 2: type of take us back to your playing days. You're

2016
01:34:19,560 --> 01:34:20,959
Speaker 2: focused and intense.

2017
01:34:22,439 --> 01:34:23,040
Speaker 20: Well, here we go.

2018
01:34:23,520 --> 01:34:25,920
Speaker 13: Let's like, let's just take a look right here at

2019
01:34:26,400 --> 01:34:30,360
Speaker 13: Trent Williams and his backside cut off block. And nobody

2020
01:34:30,520 --> 01:34:33,160
Speaker 13: can emulate this. Nobody knows how to do it. It's

2021
01:34:33,360 --> 01:34:36,240
Speaker 13: strictly the Trent Williams block. How he could just take

2022
01:34:36,320 --> 01:34:39,240
Speaker 13: somebody's head and just ram it right into the ground

2023
01:34:39,680 --> 01:34:41,400
Speaker 13: and McCaffrey cut right off like that.

2024
01:34:41,520 --> 01:34:44,080
Speaker 20: It's just a beautiful piece of film right there.

2025
01:34:44,320 --> 01:34:48,439
Speaker 2: Beautiful and all the all the uh, all of the

2026
01:34:48,600 --> 01:34:51,320
Speaker 2: proceeds of this T shirt will go to repopulate the

2027
01:34:51,400 --> 01:34:53,920
Speaker 2: mako shark population.

2028
01:34:53,600 --> 01:34:54,040
Speaker 3: On the ocean.

2029
01:34:54,280 --> 01:34:55,919
Speaker 20: There's way too many sharks that aren't.

2030
01:34:55,720 --> 01:34:58,919
Speaker 2: Making all right, Baldy, thank you so much, buddy, appreciate

2031
01:34:59,000 --> 01:35:01,040
Speaker 2: the time. You're such an busy man this time of year,

2032
01:35:01,360 --> 01:35:03,519
Speaker 2: and we really do appreciate you doing this with us.

2033
01:35:03,680 --> 01:35:04,599
Speaker 3: Until next time.

2034
01:35:04,800 --> 01:35:06,400
Speaker 5: Thanks Baldy, Thank you guys.

2035
01:35:06,800 --> 01:35:09,360
Speaker 2: All right, there he goes Baldy. We spoke with him

2036
01:35:09,439 --> 01:35:11,519
Speaker 2: late last week. He's a very busy guy. As we

2037
01:35:11,680 --> 01:35:14,360
Speaker 2: alluded to, and he gave us some time. Really happy

2038
01:35:14,720 --> 01:35:16,840
Speaker 2: to talk with him and get dig into this game,

2039
01:35:16,880 --> 01:35:18,479
Speaker 2: which is going to be so great And I'm really

2040
01:35:18,560 --> 01:35:23,360
Speaker 2: excited about this. Not in spags we trust and Baldy

2041
01:35:23,439 --> 01:35:23,920
Speaker 2: we trust.

2042
01:35:24,400 --> 01:35:24,679
Speaker 3: Merch.

2043
01:35:24,840 --> 01:35:27,080
Speaker 2: People always asking about that merch mark, and I feel

2044
01:35:27,080 --> 01:35:28,360
Speaker 2: like this one could be a big time winner.

2045
01:35:29,040 --> 01:35:32,240
Speaker 6: He is the perfect candidate for a wide variety of

2046
01:35:32,400 --> 01:35:36,920
Speaker 6: creative input from people listeners that see the different aspects

2047
01:35:37,000 --> 01:35:39,360
Speaker 6: to Baldy. You know, there was one thing about him

2048
01:35:39,400 --> 01:35:41,360
Speaker 6: like I think we've come into this Super Bowl week

2049
01:35:41,400 --> 01:35:43,519
Speaker 6: a little bit like, oh it's Niners Chiefs again, Like

2050
01:35:44,000 --> 01:35:44,760
Speaker 6: is it the same old thing.

2051
01:35:44,800 --> 01:35:45,720
Speaker 3: Well, it's obviously not.

2052
01:35:45,840 --> 01:35:50,599
Speaker 6: But he elevates your interest in any matchup and whether

2053
01:35:50,680 --> 01:35:52,200
Speaker 6: it's the merch, it's the game itself.

2054
01:35:52,320 --> 01:35:53,520
Speaker 3: There's only one Baldy.

2055
01:35:53,479 --> 01:35:55,160
Speaker 2: Cool And just to give you an idea of like

2056
01:35:55,280 --> 01:35:58,160
Speaker 2: what you're up against Big Funk who's not in today.

2057
01:35:58,200 --> 01:36:01,479
Speaker 2: But here is a design that he together. You can

2058
01:36:01,560 --> 01:36:05,000
Speaker 2: check this out on a fast Channel Baldy's breakdowns. I

2059
01:36:05,080 --> 01:36:07,320
Speaker 2: mean that is I mean, that's what we're looking for.

2060
01:36:07,400 --> 01:36:09,560
Speaker 2: If you are a creative person and you want to

2061
01:36:09,600 --> 01:36:13,080
Speaker 2: design a T shirt around Baldy and his greatness, and

2062
01:36:13,120 --> 01:36:14,160
Speaker 2: look at that finger in the shit.

2063
01:36:14,200 --> 01:36:15,400
Speaker 3: You gotta get the pinky in the shot.

2064
01:36:15,520 --> 01:36:17,280
Speaker 2: Eric does that as someone that has a thumb as

2065
01:36:17,360 --> 01:36:20,240
Speaker 2: you to see the pinky a skew like that?

2066
01:36:20,520 --> 01:36:20,640
Speaker 20: Is that?

2067
01:36:20,760 --> 01:36:22,160
Speaker 3: Are you guys part of a club that no one

2068
01:36:22,200 --> 01:36:22,639
Speaker 3: talks about.

2069
01:36:22,640 --> 01:36:24,719
Speaker 11: I did think about it when we were recording that interview.

2070
01:36:24,720 --> 01:36:26,800
Speaker 11: I was like, there are a handful of people here

2071
01:36:26,840 --> 01:36:29,839
Speaker 11: and several people with faulty digits.

2072
01:36:30,720 --> 01:36:33,800
Speaker 3: I mean, I mean his came on the battlefield of

2073
01:36:34,080 --> 01:36:36,040
Speaker 3: you know, the grid, iroon, how did you hurt your finger?

2074
01:36:36,600 --> 01:36:37,639
Speaker 3: Battlefield of the kitchen?

2075
01:36:37,760 --> 01:36:40,000
Speaker 6: I don't remember slice of potatoes. Okay, well it's not

2076
01:36:40,200 --> 01:36:41,320
Speaker 6: the same origin story.

2077
01:36:41,479 --> 01:36:44,519
Speaker 2: Also, Eric calling it a faulty digit, I don't believe

2078
01:36:44,560 --> 01:36:46,320
Speaker 2: you have a faulty Well, sometimes when you're get slow

2079
01:36:46,360 --> 01:36:47,880
Speaker 2: on the hit, that is a little faulty.

2080
01:36:48,000 --> 01:36:48,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree with you.

2081
01:36:49,040 --> 01:36:51,640
Speaker 11: It's hard picking up things sometimes that little extra you

2082
01:36:51,640 --> 01:36:52,599
Speaker 11: can need, that little extra.

2083
01:36:52,720 --> 01:36:55,240
Speaker 3: It's too real. It's weird. Yeah, too real.

2084
01:36:55,960 --> 01:36:58,519
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm sure we're going to end our eleven year

2085
01:36:59,439 --> 01:37:03,200
Speaker 5: strikeout out filled the attempts at making merch now and

2086
01:37:03,360 --> 01:37:04,920
Speaker 5: somehow going to be about Baldy.

2087
01:37:04,800 --> 01:37:07,040
Speaker 3: Right, and he gets all the money, all right.

2088
01:37:07,280 --> 01:37:10,519
Speaker 2: That was a action packed full show on Monday before

2089
01:37:10,560 --> 01:37:11,840
Speaker 2: we get on the plane, and so we gave you

2090
01:37:11,880 --> 01:37:13,920
Speaker 2: a lot to chew on and just want to before

2091
01:37:13,920 --> 01:37:16,400
Speaker 2: we go one more thing, and we mentioned Chris at

2092
01:37:16,439 --> 01:37:18,680
Speaker 2: the top of the show and again three years without him,

2093
01:37:18,680 --> 01:37:21,280
Speaker 2: and it's hard to believe, you know, we've been at

2094
01:37:21,320 --> 01:37:23,360
Speaker 2: this company for so long now and you get to

2095
01:37:23,439 --> 01:37:28,920
Speaker 2: know people on a personal level beyond just professional. And

2096
01:37:29,520 --> 01:37:37,080
Speaker 2: we were shocked to learn yesterday that Larry Campbell, who

2097
01:37:37,640 --> 01:37:40,640
Speaker 2: known by everyone in the office here as LC, who

2098
01:37:40,760 --> 01:37:44,479
Speaker 2: was like just like a great dude and someone that

2099
01:37:44,640 --> 01:37:48,679
Speaker 2: was always you know, friendly and great at his job,

2100
01:37:49,280 --> 01:37:53,439
Speaker 2: he passed away suddenly this week, this past week. So

2101
01:37:54,360 --> 01:37:58,320
Speaker 2: really a Paul and a gray and rainy time in

2102
01:37:58,400 --> 01:38:01,960
Speaker 2: Los Angeles, Like that's hanging over this building right now

2103
01:38:02,040 --> 01:38:04,400
Speaker 2: because Larry was a mainstay in that newsroom and in

2104
01:38:04,560 --> 01:38:07,200
Speaker 2: terms of our NFL network team to so we lose

2105
01:38:07,280 --> 01:38:10,639
Speaker 2: Larry and we really send our thoughts and our prayers

2106
01:38:10,680 --> 01:38:11,680
Speaker 2: out to his family.

2107
01:38:11,479 --> 01:38:15,040
Speaker 5: And yeah, it's a big loss. Such a kind soul,

2108
01:38:15,240 --> 01:38:18,639
Speaker 5: such a kind guy, and a big part of when

2109
01:38:18,680 --> 01:38:21,640
Speaker 5: we were first going on the network, working with him

2110
01:38:21,680 --> 01:38:24,240
Speaker 5: on all those old NFL now hits and whatever the

2111
01:38:24,320 --> 01:38:26,599
Speaker 5: name of it around the league, when it was around

2112
01:38:26,600 --> 01:38:30,439
Speaker 5: the league, then around the NFL, and just a great guy.

2113
01:38:30,520 --> 01:38:31,200
Speaker 5: He will be missed.

2114
01:38:31,520 --> 01:38:34,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's like he was a real supporter of what

2115
01:38:34,520 --> 01:38:36,680
Speaker 6: we were trying to do. But I also know that

2116
01:38:36,880 --> 01:38:39,800
Speaker 6: like particularly West down to Marina del Rey would see

2117
01:38:39,840 --> 01:38:43,360
Speaker 6: Larry out a lot, and like they had a special friendship.

2118
01:38:43,439 --> 01:38:45,560
Speaker 6: And it's like someone that you just saw like a

2119
01:38:45,880 --> 01:38:48,240
Speaker 6: week ago, and then you find out, you know, and

2120
01:38:48,280 --> 01:38:50,880
Speaker 6: it's terrible these days you find overtext that this person

2121
01:38:51,000 --> 01:38:52,519
Speaker 6: is gone and it's like I can't, I don't.

2122
01:38:52,760 --> 01:38:54,519
Speaker 3: It brings up a lot of stuff for all of us.

2123
01:38:54,600 --> 01:38:58,559
Speaker 6: And it's like he was a genuinely kind, fun person

2124
01:38:58,800 --> 01:39:00,680
Speaker 6: and like there's really no one like him, and it's

2125
01:39:00,760 --> 01:39:01,719
Speaker 6: just another loss.

2126
01:39:01,920 --> 01:39:06,920
Speaker 2: And and I'll I implore you because we I say

2127
01:39:06,960 --> 01:39:09,360
Speaker 2: it not in jest, because I mean it. But when

2128
01:39:09,520 --> 01:39:11,559
Speaker 2: when Steve Weisch is on the show, I call him

2129
01:39:11,600 --> 01:39:15,360
Speaker 2: the conscience of the newsroom. Check out on his on

2130
01:39:15,560 --> 01:39:19,559
Speaker 2: his feed Twitter feed, Andrew and Steve talking about Larry

2131
01:39:20,560 --> 01:39:24,640
Speaker 2: because he can say it more eloquently than any of us.

2132
01:39:25,280 --> 01:39:29,840
Speaker 2: So yeah, we'll be in Las Vegas in two days.

2133
01:39:30,000 --> 01:39:32,040
Speaker 2: Join us for another ride to the super Bowl. Till

2134
01:39:32,080 --> 01:39:33,120
Speaker 2: then he need to call
