11
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,599
Speaker 1: My name is Kay Adams, Peter Schreeger, Kyle Brant All here,

12
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 1: our Hall of Famer Chris Carter. We're ready for a

13
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 1: massive weekend of football. It's time for the leave lock.

14
00:00:58,120 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 1: Let's do it, and Chris Carter sank you for being

15
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 1: here for five days, long week. Happy to have you.

16
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 1: But we are just two sleeps away from a massive

17
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 1: weekend of football and a big showdown at Arrowhead. Patrick

18
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:09,960
Speaker 1: Mahomes and the Chiefs just one win away from their

19
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:13,559
Speaker 1: third straight Super Bowl appearance. Our very own. James Palmer

20
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 1: has the latest on Tyron Matthew, a very import I've

21
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 1: been saying he's the key to this whole Thing's he

22
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,759
Speaker 1: looking ahead of the AC Championship game, James, There's really

23
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 1: only one injury we're focused on here in Kansas City,

24
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 1: and that is star safety Tyron Matthew, who's still in

25
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: the concussion protocol. Did practice on Thursday, but Andy Reid

26
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 1: believes if there are no setbacks, it is pointing towards

27
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 1: him playing against the Bengals here at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday.

28
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 1: And that's extremely important because last Sunday against the Buffalo Bills,

29
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 1: packages were completely thrown out after he left the game

30
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 1: with concussion. There were things they wanted to do it

31
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 1: against Josh Allen that they actually didn't do at all

32
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 1: or didn't operate in any capacity because Tyron Matthew wasn't

33
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 1: on the field. Pass rusher Frank Clark said it best

34
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 1: when things aren't right in the pass rush, things aren't

35
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 1: right in the secondary on deep balls given up, it

36
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 1: is Tyron Matthew that calms us down and he's the

37
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 1: one that makes those adjustments. Cornerback Lagarius Sneed told me

38
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 1: on Thursday. He talks to me pre snap on every

39
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 1: single play. The importance of Tyron Matthew k cannot be

40
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:16,239
Speaker 1: explained in just how he plays, but everything he brings

41
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,919
Speaker 1: to this defense as a whole. James, I appreciate you.

42
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 1: I've been talking to Chris Carter about this all week.

43
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 1: I don't want to make my pick till I know

44
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 1: if he's going to be out there. I think he

45
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 1: is that important, and if he didn't play a huge

46
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: role in Week seventeen with what Jamar Chase, in that

47
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 1: chemistry he has with Joe Burrow, it's so cool when

48
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,239
Speaker 1: we get down to four teams. We cover thirty two

49
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 1: kind of from up here, and when there's only four,

50
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:40,639
Speaker 1: everything gets magnified, the flaws, the storylines to follow at

51
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 1: Arrowhead and at so far this weekend? What is the storyline,

52
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: the narrative, or even just the figure that's pulling you in? Guys,

53
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 1: the most who in the AFC or NFC is the

54
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 1: most fascinating person heading into Championship Sunday, Kyle, nothing more

55
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 1: fascinating than a young Knight in shining armor. I'm looking

56
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: at Joe Burrow mahomes as a dragon and he's riding

57
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 1: up with his sword in his armor and Joe, what

58
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:04,799
Speaker 1: do you got my man? Biggest game of your life?

59
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 1: College blah blah blah blah blah. Listen, we think we

60
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:09,799
Speaker 1: know what this guy's all about. If you're interested more,

61
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 1: what makes him ticks? Gonna make him tick? This weekend,

62
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 1: Bruce Feldman has an amazing article that traces his entire

63
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 1: rise through Ohio State and LSU. He tells the anecdote.

64
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:19,519
Speaker 1: At one time, he's shown up new at LSU and

65
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 1: they're going in practice and the defense is lighten up,

66
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 1: the offense lightening him up. On the other side, Devin

67
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 1: White is just chirping at him and chirp. He's that

68
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 1: play doesn't work. That play doesn't work. Take that one

69
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 1: back and one point Burrow breaks. The Hunter runs to

70
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 1: Devin White and says, Devin shut up, or I'm gonna

71
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 1: come beat the bleep out of you. The offense goes crazy,

72
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 1: the lineman go nuts, and that moment earned the respect

73
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 1: of him. This guy who burns hot as much as

74
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 1: he burns cool in the right moments, and he is

75
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 1: about to accomplish something incredible. They can pull it off

76
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 1: this weekend. Can we see the list of the quarterbacks

77
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 1: who've been to a super Bowl in their second year

78
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 1: in the league Wilson, Kaepernick, Roethlisberger, Brady Warren, and Marino.

79
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 1: With the exception of Kaepernick, whose career took a wildly

80
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 1: different direction, those are all Hall of famers, some of

81
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 1: them first ballot guys. In other words, there's a long

82
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 1: list of guys who've been to a title game in

83
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 1: the first couple of years, much longer. It's moving back

84
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 1: to coach. This is first class. It's really Hall of

85
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 1: famers only, not second year as a starter, second year

86
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 1: in the league. If Joe Burrow wins this game, he

87
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: is a superstar. He is one of the faces of

88
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 1: the league, and he is in that group. I'm this

89
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 1: young and I'm already this good. That to me's fascinating.

90
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 1: I like my meet a little more seasoned. I'm going

91
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 1: to go with the guy that's got the most impressive

92
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 1: resume of coaches and players in this game, and his

93
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 1: name is Aaron Donald. He's not going to allow the

94
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: Rams to lose seven times to San Francisco, like, he's

95
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,720
Speaker 1: not going to allow that to happen. I believe there's

96
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 1: no one talking about Aaron Donald all week. But if

97
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 1: you look at the list of players that we compare

98
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 1: him to, guys like Warren Sab Reggie White, Lawrence Taylor,

99
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 1: mean Joe Green, the things that those guys have in

100
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 1: common with the seven time first Team All Pro This

101
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:58,600
Speaker 1: is an eighth year, three times defensive MVP, Tilty one two,

102
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 1: Super Bowl mean Joe Green one four Sap one one,

103
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:06,279
Speaker 1: Reggie one one. Like, Hey, Aaron, Hey Broun, you got

104
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:09,480
Speaker 1: the most fascinating resume. I believe that he'll have something

105
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 1: to say and how this goes down, God bless his soul.

106
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,919
Speaker 1: My man, there, Reggie White, Aaron Donald. I'm fascinated to

107
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 1: see the impact that he has on the NFC Championship game.

108
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 1: I think we said the last time you were here,

109
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 1: like I couldn't imagine Aaron Donald, big bad bully, But

110
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:27,159
Speaker 1: you've been beating six times in a row. Sometimes you

111
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 1: gotta say bringing on me. I look at the other

112
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,719
Speaker 1: side of the ball, and a guy who, no matter

113
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 1: where he is, no matter what the situation is, always

114
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 1: like bringing on me and finds a way to win.

115
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 1: The boy, it is not pretty. Jimmy Garoppolo, are you

116
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 1: gonna make the back breaking play? That keeps this team

117
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,119
Speaker 1: from the super Bowl. I hate going negative Niners fans early,

118
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:49,839
Speaker 1: but gosh, we have watched a lot of Jimmy this

119
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 1: year and the wins that they are there. But there

120
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 1: are some maddening moments. Thursday night against the Titans, are

121
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,839
Speaker 1: up ten nothing, right into the end zone, interception that

122
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:00,720
Speaker 1: would have put the game away. They come all the

123
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 1: way back. I go to the wild Card round. They're

124
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 1: rolling against the Cowboys. Things are going perfectly. You get

125
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 1: into the later stages of the game. Jimmy, just don't

126
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 1: kill us here. Jimmy, just don't kill us here. He

127
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 1: didn't kill him, but they were a couple. He throws them.

128
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 1: They're out there for the picking. Oh my gosh, this

129
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,040
Speaker 1: Niners team can beat the Rams here. They can beat them.

130
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 1: They can run the ball down their throats, they can

131
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 1: be opportunistic on defense. If Jimmy doesn't kill him on Sunday,

132
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 1: if he doesn't kill him on Sunday, they can go

133
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 1: to the super Bowl. But if he throws one or

134
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:35,040
Speaker 1: two of those, I think we're talking Rams, talking Rams

135
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 1: and a home super Bowl for the second year in

136
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:41,279
Speaker 1: a row. Home turf. Unbelievable. Let's go back to McVeigh

137
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 1: for a moment, Shriggs, I just I can't think of

138
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:45,479
Speaker 1: a figure with more to gain and more to lose

139
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 1: in this thing. The six in a row thing has

140
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 1: got to stop. How can this happen? How could you

141
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:54,239
Speaker 1: go to seven straight as Shanahan taking care of business

142
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 1: against you? If you win this one, just this one.

143
00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 1: No one's talking about that. Oh and sixth streak, no

144
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 1: one is. It's all gone, it's poof, it's missing. There's

145
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 1: also to mention what he did at going all in.

146
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 1: The justification for his moves and bringing in Odell and

147
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 1: Von and Stafford and so on and so on and

148
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 1: so and the justification is winning a Super Bowl. And

149
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 1: that's the bottom line, going there and winning it and

150
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 1: in your backyard and with Snoop Doggie Dog on the stage.

151
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 1: So all of that has to amount to it more

152
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 1: so than that, even just for his legacy, which I'm

153
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 1: sure is very important to and you can speak to

154
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 1: Peter and I'd love for you too. Just he's one

155
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 1: of the best coaches in the league since he's taken over.

156
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 1: But in order to be called a great coach, you've

157
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 1: got to win games like this. There's an interesting dynamic

158
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 1: between them. Kyle Shanahan, six years older, was his boss

159
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 1: in Washington for four seasons. And now here's this deal

160
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 1: where there's a sixth game losing Street. He's the youngest

161
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 1: coach ever, he's the youngest coach of the year ever.

162
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 1: He's the youngest coach to get to the super Bowl ever.

163
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 1: But if you lose seventh straight to your mentor or

164
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 1: your big brother figure, I think that's the storyline. Moves spoke.

165
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 1: You said he was his boss. He is his boss.

166
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:00,679
Speaker 1: He is the boss. But also then if they lose shrikes,

167
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 1: I'll talk about this. If the window season, the window

168
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 1: is right now, the question becomes what do they need

169
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 1: to do to get over that hump? Like what more

170
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 1: could they possibly add to the roster, And that would

171
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 1: be a real head scratcher. Let's not forget last time

172
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 1: they played against San Francisco, that was Obj's first game back.

173
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 1: So if you look at adding him the first yes,

174
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 1: he doesn't he doesn't know the whole offense, but he

175
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,119
Speaker 1: knows a lot more than he knew in that first meeting.

176
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 1: And you can see in the last couple of games

177
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 1: he's become a more intricate part of that passing game.

178
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 1: So between that edition of him and Acres running the

179
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 1: football unless he calls it up to him, that's how

180
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 1: the Rams could change the tie from that six and arrow.

181
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 1: They were up seventeen nothing at the end of the

182
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 1: first half in Week eighteen and they coughed it up.

183
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 1: I don't know man either, rapping for joining us all

184
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 1: right now, we'll be making our picks throughout the show

185
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 1: right here at the breakfast table. But he and the

186
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 1: Bears made a big hire yesterday met ebra flew, so

187
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 1: will be the new head coach? Tell us how it

188
00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:00,439
Speaker 1: went down in Chicago, and help on Miami? Are they they?

189
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:03,319
Speaker 1: Miami is dating? But let's get to Matt Eberflust a

190
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:05,679
Speaker 1: little bit. Is someone who really impressed in the initial

191
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 1: interview with members of these Chicago Bears brass. He was

192
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 1: one of the finalists along with Jim Carvo, along with

193
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 1: Dan Quinn, who subsequently pulled out of the search. But

194
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 1: the resume for Eberflust was, Yes, his interview was good.

195
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 1: He was dynamic. He's a leader. His players will have

196
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 1: him look at the field, look at the product down

197
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:24,200
Speaker 1: the field, look at the way his defense plays. And

198
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 1: you know, for the Chicago Bears. A lot of it

199
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 1: is a lot of our talkers about the offense, adjustin

200
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 1: fields and what's gonna be the plan. And maybe Kevin

201
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 1: Batool from the Eagles will come in and be the OC,

202
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 1: but just look at the tenacity with which his defense plays.

203
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:39,080
Speaker 1: That is what they would like to bring to Chicago

204
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:42,320
Speaker 1: now with a new head coach in Matt Eberflus. While

205
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins have in fact narrowed their search who

206
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 1: tried to replace former coach Brian Flores. I'm told three people,

207
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 1: three candidates who are expected to get second interviews. One

208
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,960
Speaker 1: is Bill's offensive coordinator, Brian Dabo, who is still very

209
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 1: much in play with the New York Giants. Another is

210
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:02,079
Speaker 1: Mike McDaniel, the San Francisco for Niners offensive coordinator, a curiosity.

211
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:03,959
Speaker 1: He had a little bit of a shorter interview with him.

212
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,320
Speaker 1: They want to hear more. And then Kellen Moore, the

213
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:09,440
Speaker 1: OC from the Cowboys, still in play for the Dolphins.

214
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 1: Those interviews expected to happen next week. Thank you so

215
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 1: much that first domino fell. Hopefully more at candidates find

216
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:17,560
Speaker 1: their suitors and their new homes. A lot of optimism

217
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:21,440
Speaker 1: around those other twenty eight teens, so our very own

218
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 1: town Tella Sarah reported last night the Dan Quinn told

219
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 1: teams that he'll be remaining in Dallas as the Cowboys

220
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator. Quinn turned the Dallas defense around, of course,

221
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:31,680
Speaker 1: in his first year with the team, and says part

222
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:34,200
Speaker 1: of the reason he's coming back is to try and

223
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 1: win a Super Bowl. So Dan Quinn staying put in Dallas.

224
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 1: Collen morris future still up in the air, and last

225
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:46,200
Speaker 1: week Stephen Jones said that he quote absolutely expects Mike

226
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 1: McCarthy to remain the head coach of the Cowboys. Guys

227
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 1: that got lost to talk about, but always room for

228
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,080
Speaker 1: some Dallas Cowboys on our show. What are our thoughts

229
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,959
Speaker 1: about having these two back in twenty twenty two. Well,

230
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,199
Speaker 1: first of all, dan Quinny's cheap. I mean, the Falcons

231
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 1: are still paying so he's still got another year that

232
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:03,560
Speaker 1: the Falcons are paying him, so they're very, very comfortable

233
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 1: with him. I think DQ if they give him the

234
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 1: Bears job, that was the job, especially with their defensive

235
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 1: personnel playing outside in the elements that he had his

236
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 1: sights on, and he didn't get that, then he took

237
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 1: himself out of the running. But Jerry Jones. Man, this

238
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 1: is what he does best. He gets what he wants.

239
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:22,559
Speaker 1: And he's always had his eyes on Sean Payton. He's

240
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:24,960
Speaker 1: always been in love with Sean Payton. So now you

241
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 1: guys are getting ready to tell me that Sean Payton

242
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,200
Speaker 1: walked out on a fifteen million dollars a year job,

243
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 1: no health problems, no family issues. Now, it was a

244
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:36,080
Speaker 1: tough year on him the last couple of years, first

245
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 1: COVID and things like that. But unless you have your

246
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 1: eye on some other opportunity. And the coaches that I

247
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 1: know that have walked out of something like this, they

248
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:48,680
Speaker 1: have their eye on something. And I believe Dallas Jerry Jones.

249
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 1: How many summers does Jerry have? How many more years

250
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 1: can he run the Cowboys? And I'm sure whatever it is,

251
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,080
Speaker 1: he wants the best coach he can get in Sean Payton. Man,

252
00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 1: he's loved him. Jerry's gonna get him. Meanwhile, he's got

253
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:02,199
Speaker 1: Mike mcar who I think has never been more fascinating.

254
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:04,359
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you why. First of all, the stupidest,

255
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 1: most ridiculous ending to a season of all time, with

256
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:08,680
Speaker 1: fourteen seconds left, let's just say that again. I can't

257
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 1: believe we're still talking about it. I don't think the

258
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 1: fascinating part, though, is Mike McCarthy, if you're not so

259
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 1: motivated and insulted and offended right now, but everyone just

260
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:20,720
Speaker 1: handing your job to Shaun Payton. And if I'm Mike McCarthy,

261
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 1: I'm like Paul on a second, Let's let's put our

262
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 1: resumes side to side. We both them into one super Bowl,

263
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame quarterback. Other than that, we get

264
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:30,359
Speaker 1: knocked out of the playoffs every single year, always disappointing,

265
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 1: always coming up short. What is so great about Sean Payton?

266
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 1: More for me because he has connective tissue to the cowboys.

267
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 1: Who cares? Mike, I cannot believe how he's just been skewed.

268
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 1: And Carter Ston you're being like, it's inevitable, Peyton's taking

269
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:44,199
Speaker 1: his job next year. Mike McCarthy, if you're giving this job,

270
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 1: you better have the coaching season of your life this year,

271
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:48,840
Speaker 1: because nobody right now is respecting you and everyone's just

272
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 1: handing it to Sean Payton, who's like, yeah, and promote movies.

273
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 1: I want to be in media. I'll take your job

274
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,439
Speaker 1: when I'm ready. I mean, it's a wild dynamic right now. Yeah,

275
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 1: if you read the headlines and listen to stuff that

276
00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 1: like Chris is saying he's not alone Cowboys at Cowboys

277
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 1: fans would rather have Kevin James on the sideline this year.

278
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 1: If it means that they get Sean Payton next year

279
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 1: they get They're down with it. We'll take Kevin James

280
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 1: for a year that means we get sewn next year.

281
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 1: I don't think it's just Mike McCarthy. I look at

282
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:13,839
Speaker 1: Kellen Moore, who I don't think had a really good

283
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 1: playoff debut out there with the Cowboys situation. I think

284
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 1: dan Quinn's defense was susceptible to a lot of things

285
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:21,200
Speaker 1: from the Niners. And I look at special teams. This

286
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:23,440
Speaker 1: is what I see when I watched the Cowboys. This

287
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:26,559
Speaker 1: is not you watch the Chiefs. It doesn't feel this

288
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:29,200
Speaker 1: way where it's like, what was the play called? Why

289
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 1: were there fourteen seconds left? Why did we do this?

290
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:33,560
Speaker 1: Do you feel like this is a well oiled machine

291
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 1: at any point watching the Cowboys, That's where I think

292
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:38,960
Speaker 1: fans are like, are we winning a Super Bowl with

293
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 1: the Mike McCarthy, Kellen Moore, dan Quinn fossil try to

294
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 1: force some I don't know, And so when you hear

295
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 1: that they're all coming back, like are you yeah? We

296
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:49,319
Speaker 1: I don't know. You look at all that talent on

297
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 1: the roster and you wonder maybe there are other people

298
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:53,720
Speaker 1: who could be calling the shots that can get this

299
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 1: thing done. I think dan Quinn coming back is a

300
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 1: huge win. I think special teams around the league need

301
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 1: to get your special teams in order because Schrager will

302
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 1: come for you. Let me tell you you are the

303
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 1: special team's police, sort of a national Papali. Unenthused, uninspired

304
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 1: that Mike McCarthy is staying there, mostly for me because

305
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:13,320
Speaker 1: I think he's wasting a year of prime potentially of

306
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:15,840
Speaker 1: a Ceedee Lamb and a Dak Prescott. He's got one

307
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 1: more chance to get them to a super Bowl. I'm

308
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 1: not convinced that he can do that. But most fascinating

309
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 1: to meet shregs Kellen Moore, Belle of the Ball a

310
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago, as far as like, well, is

311
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 1: he gonna get coaching meetings? Is he gonna get love?

312
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 1: And we talked a lot about playoff games and performances,

313
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 1: impacting and swaying at one way or the other, and

314
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 1: his name's gone from hero to zero. The Dolphins have

315
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 1: him as a finalist, so he still might get that

316
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 1: Dolphins job. But he was the hot name, and then

317
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 1: you put up seven points in a playoff game, and

318
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 1: then you have to rattle off those last few scores

319
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 1: on national TV. Hand when they had offensive injuries, you

320
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 1: didn't see him make the type of adjustments that you

321
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 1: want from your offensive coordinator. Are a potentially head coach

322
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 1: now to address for what you said about Peyton compared

323
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 1: to McCarthy, I could say play calling, Sean is a

324
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 1: phenomenal play caller, and I would put him in the

325
00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 1: top three play callers we have. But it will onto this.

326
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 1: A national football league got thirty two coaches. You got

327
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 1: to be a leader of grown men. McCarthy, What was

328
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 1: this problem in Green Bay? Leading the team believing the

329
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 1: message all right? And also the physicality. He doesn't coach

330
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 1: a physical style in Green Bay. They got that in

331
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 1: Dallas now that they have some of that. So for me,

332
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 1: if I'm going to get a group of fifty seven

333
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 1: guys to run through a wall, I got one guy

334
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 1: to talk to him. It's going to be Sean Payton.

335
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 1: You have to get guys to give up on their

336
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 1: dreams and ambition and believe what you're saying is best

337
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 1: for them long term. And that's what Sean Payton has

338
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 1: and he's got that in spade. All right. Championship weekend

339
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 1: is almost here. We have predictions straight ahead, Winds, Beangals,

340
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 1: Chiefs to go to the super Bowl? Growth Where was

341
00:15:45,000 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 1: that one fantasy season? Patrick Mahomes do it again? Will

342
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 1: he earn a trip to the super Bowl? In LA?

343
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:06,800
Speaker 1: Super Bowl fifty six is upon us and this weekend

344
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 1: it is Championship Sunday, shregs. Are you excited to look

345
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 1: at these four teams? Is unbelievable? Like he said earlier,

346
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 1: you start with thirty two, you whittle it down to four.

347
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 1: Here we are lots of storylines. Round three for the

348

Speaker 1: San Francisco four nine ers up against those LA Rams.

355
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 1: the picks right here, right now, with Peter Schrager, Kyle Brandt, myself,

356
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 1: Kay Adams, and Pro Football Hall of Famer Chris car

357
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 1: let's do it. Time for the lead block, and let's

358
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 1: shriek you nervous. Wow, we're just two sleeps away championship Sunday.

359
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 1: We are making fix and we are beginning. In the AFC,

360
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 1: it's the four seed Bengals. They're going into Arrowhead. They

361
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 1: faced in the week seventeen. They got Patrick Mahomes and

362
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:10,200
Speaker 1: these feisty Chiefs, these experienced, dominant defenders. All right, two

363
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 1: young quarterbacks, high powered offenses. Peter, who you sent into

364
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl? Go okay? All right? So these two

365
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:19,240
Speaker 1: teams played in Week seventeen. The Chiefs had everything to

366
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:21,959
Speaker 1: play for. If they had beaten the Bengals, they have

367
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 1: a really good shot at the one seed and they

368
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 1: don't have to go to Tennessee and they can just

369
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:27,680
Speaker 1: sit back in their beds. They can get a buy

370
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:30,400
Speaker 1: the whole deal. If they lose, they've got to play

371
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 1: a playoff game. It ultimately was the Steelers and they've

372
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 1: got to go on the road. Maybe in the AFC,

373
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,400
Speaker 1: championship game if they don't somehow, if they do, get

374
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 1: by whoever they play in the divisional round. So the

375
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:42,920
Speaker 1: Chiefs sent and played everybody, and yet the Bengals won

376
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:46,119
Speaker 1: thirty four to thirty one. And yet I watched a

377
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 1: game back Bengals won by a field goal. Let's go

378
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 1: through some of these mistakes that the Chiefs made in

379
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 1: this game. At the end of the first half, you

380
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:58,400
Speaker 1: see this often the homestone a deep one. You don't

381
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:02,119
Speaker 1: see this, Yrek has it drops the tyree catches that

382
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 1: they score. Maybe this isn't a one three score. Okay,

383
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:08,359
Speaker 1: Let's go to the second half. Here, Travis Kelsey, mister

384
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:11,880
Speaker 1: shorehand second and nine, Mahome's rolling great, doing what he does.

385
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 1: Kelsey wide open, Kelsey drop doesn't happen. Okay. Then it

386
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:20,200
Speaker 1: becomes late in the game, crucial situation. It's a fourth

387
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:23,159
Speaker 1: and sixth at the Bengals forty five. What are the

388
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:26,879
Speaker 1: Chiefs punting unit doing on the field? They punt? The

389
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:29,920
Speaker 1: Bengals would answer with a score. And then you have

390
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:34,359
Speaker 1: the huge, huge elephant in the room. Jamar Chase went

391
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 1: for two sixty six and three tugs in this game.

392
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:41,359
Speaker 1: He eleven catches say all this to say it was

393
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:45,199
Speaker 1: a great win for the Bengals. If the Chiefs make

394
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:48,639
Speaker 1: a couple different plays, if the officials call a couple

395
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 1: different things differently, it's still just a field goal win.

396
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 1: With all of those things going that way, I think

397
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 1: the Chiefs might have won that game, and I think

398
00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:58,879
Speaker 1: they go into this one knowing we might have had

399
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 1: our worst performance of the last few months of the season.

400
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:04,360
Speaker 1: That guy put up two sixty six and three tugs

401
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:07,399
Speaker 1: and we only lost by three on the road. And

402
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 1: they're coming here, and we're gonna have stone Street in

403
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 1: the building, and Richard Christie's in the building, and we're

404
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 1: gonna have Keckner and Rudd, and there's gonna be someone

405
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:21,359
Speaker 1: banging a drum. And it's the fourth Annual Arrowhead Invitational.

406
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:24,240
Speaker 1: You can beat us once. He ain't beating us twice,

407
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 1: not an hour building. I am taking the Chiefs, and

408
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 1: I think the Kansas City Chiefs will be representing the

409
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:34,199
Speaker 1: AFC in the Super Bowl out in Los Angeles, and

410
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:39,119
Speaker 1: I don't think it's particularly close choice. Bow back in

411
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 1: August the Chief Chiefs Rams. We'll see if you pick

412
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:43,720
Speaker 1: the Rams later. I got a lot of respect for

413
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 1: what the Bengals have done because it's it's tough to

414
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 1: win in this league. It's tough to win as a

415
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:50,359
Speaker 1: young coach, and it's tough to win with personnel that

416
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 1: hadn't won in the league before. So I respect with

417
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 1: Cincinnati not only getting into the playoffs, but going to

418
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:58,359
Speaker 1: Tennessee against one of the we consider to be one

419
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 1: of the better teams in the league in Tennessee, and

420
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:03,359
Speaker 1: how Rabel gets them motivated to play, So you have

421
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:05,919
Speaker 1: to be able to respect that. But all magic carpet

422
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,200
Speaker 1: rides they come to an end, and I do believe

423
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 1: this is going to be a close game, Peter, and

424
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 1: the reason why is because they match up well against

425
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:16,400
Speaker 1: Kansas City. Kansas City, I have major concerns about their secondary.

426
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:19,680
Speaker 1: That's not a myth. But with Tyrann Matthews possibly being

427
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:21,920
Speaker 1: back in the lineup, which I think he will, the

428
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:24,919
Speaker 1: blitch package that they will have for Joe Burrows, I

429
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 1: believe will be a difference in the game. Since Today's

430
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:30,240
Speaker 1: gonna have guys open. They're gonna score some points against

431
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:33,920
Speaker 1: Kansas City. But I believe Patrick Mahomes Kelsey they're too

432
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 1: much for the Bengals and their secondary that they're weak

433
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:39,919
Speaker 1: on the outside. So I'm going with Kansas City in

434
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:42,440
Speaker 1: a close game, got a little money on it. Kansas

435
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 1: City is not going to cover. Bengals lose at Kansas City.

436
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 1: Remarkable season. Casey goes on to the Super Bowl too.

437
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:55,199
Speaker 1: For Casey, producers are real laughing. It's you. So I

438
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:57,720
Speaker 1: will be at this game at Arrowhead, a place that

439
00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 1: I love, my favorite place to take it a football

440
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:02,639
Speaker 1: game I did preseason for the Chiefs. I will be

441
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:05,000
Speaker 1: in the stands, not in some sweet I will be

442
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:07,920
Speaker 1: in the elements with my two favorite people in the world,

443
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 1: were the biggest Chiefs fans. But my hearts will be

444
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 1: with the Bengals because I fell in love. And sometimes

445
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:15,639
Speaker 1: it just comes down to that. We can talk about

446
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:17,879
Speaker 1: Bessie Bates, when we can talk about the absence of

447
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:21,120
Speaker 1: Tyron Matthew and T Higgins may be emerging, and all

448
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:23,399
Speaker 1: of that, the dominance of this chief squad and all

449
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 1: those penalties and all those mistakes they made. But I

450
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:27,480
Speaker 1: fell in love. That's it. I fell love at the

451
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 1: Bengals back in the off season. It was young love.

452
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 1: It started online and then it got pretty serious. Then

453
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:35,119
Speaker 1: I saw some potential in them and then week fourteen,

454
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:37,400
Speaker 1: they said that maybe we should meet, we should get

455
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:40,720
Speaker 1: some Greaters ice cream and whatever. Real right date, I

456
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:44,280
Speaker 1: flew to Cincinnati and had the most epic weekend I

457
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:47,399
Speaker 1: think in my sports history memory. I had so much fun,

458
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 1: I was so embraced. I loved every second of it.

459
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:51,399
Speaker 1: And they lost that game to the Niners. I'd like

460
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 1: to see that rematch up next. So sometimes it just

461
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:56,359
Speaker 1: comes down to matters of the heart. I don't have

462
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:57,920
Speaker 1: a costume. I don't have a dance. I don't have

463
00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 1: a song or a poem. I don't have anything. It's

464
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:03,199
Speaker 1: just pure love and support for this team. Because I

465
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:08,400
Speaker 1: do know intangible things work. I've been around special teams.

466
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:10,679
Speaker 1: I've worked in this job long enough to know that

467
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:13,480
Speaker 1: it takes a little something extra. And that little something

468
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:17,200
Speaker 1: is Joe Burrow, it is cj Uzama, it is us.

469
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 1: So Bengals over Chief got to respect the love thing.

470
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:22,680
Speaker 1: People that don't respect love and say it loves over rated,

471
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:26,800
Speaker 1: they've never had love. Respect. I respect that you're walking

472
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:29,399
Speaker 1: into that building. I respect it. Nile is going to

473
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:33,280
Speaker 1: kill me. I am not going to make a pick

474
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 1: for the AFC title game now, I'm going to make

475
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 1: it just in a couple of segments. If you're watching

476
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:40,200
Speaker 1: us all morning, please tune in. But I'm very intrigued,

477
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 1: just a little. I'm very intrigued by Zach Taylor here.

478
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 1: Zach Tam the head coach of the Bengals, wildly under

479
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:47,680
Speaker 1: the radar. It's attempting to do something that most coaches

480
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:50,359
Speaker 1: don't do. Is that start three and oz in the playoffs.

481
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 1: It almost never happens. People who have done it, Tom Flores,

482
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 1: Joe Gibbs, Bill Walsh, Vince Lombardi was nine and one

483
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, but he lost his first one. Doug

484
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 1: Peterson did it. There's a very small club normally, got

485
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:05,440
Speaker 1: to earn your way through the playoffs, lose that wild card,

486
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:06,639
Speaker 1: then you make the run, get to the division of

487
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 1: meg ground. He's saying, screw it. I'm jumping though, I'm

488
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:12,440
Speaker 1: fast passing this thing. It is a very small group

489
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 1: of Zach terres can go in there and flip the

490
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 1: table and arrowhead. I don't know if I'm picking the Bengals. Okay,

491
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 1: he's got a different thing going on, which I respects,

492
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:21,520
Speaker 1: but I'll pick in about two segments, Yeah, GMP, with

493
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 1: your thoughts. Recap in the picks here, Peter and Chris

494
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:29,080
Speaker 1: take the home team in the Kansas City Chiefs. I

495
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:31,879
Speaker 1: picked the Bengals. Kyle is up next. Let us know

496
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 1: what you think at GMFP as we welcome to Ian

497
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:36,480
Speaker 1: rapp Abart and yes, we will hit the NFC side

498
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:39,560
Speaker 1: in a little bit in let's talk a little NFC

499
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:42,680
Speaker 1: North here. The Bears made a huge hire yesterday. How

500
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 1: did Matt Eberflus end up in Chicago? And are the

501
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 1: Raiders planning to take a look at any interesting names

502
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 1: for their head coach vacancy? Yeah, it sounded like really

503
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 1: From the first conversation with Chicago Bears Brass, Matt Eberfluch

504
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 1: stood out, had a really good interview, a dynamic person,

505
00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 1: a leader, and you know his words are good. All

506
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 1: of that is very nice. He's a really nice guy.

507
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 1: Just watch his team on the field if you want

508
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:07,399
Speaker 1: to know the kind of coachs that the Bears are getting,

509
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 1: the kind of teacher that the Bears are getting, watched

510
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 1: the Coats defense. They are feisty, they are tough, they

511
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:15,640
Speaker 1: are nasty. They also have perfected the peanut punch, which

512
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:18,159
Speaker 1: I think Chicago knows a little bit about. Obviously, they

513
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:19,720
Speaker 1: have to fix the offensive side of the ball and

514
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:21,960
Speaker 1: need a good plan for justin fields. But their new

515
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 1: head coach, Matt Eberfoos, has a very good plan for

516
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:26,919
Speaker 1: all of that and they are pretty pumped to have

517
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:30,240
Speaker 1: him as their coach. Meanwhile, the Las Vegas Raiders would

518
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:32,520
Speaker 1: like to have a coach, and this is an interesting

519
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:36,240
Speaker 1: thing that is developing right now in Las Vegas. Josh McDaniels,

520
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 1: the Patriots offensive coordinator, is flying to Las Vegas today,

521
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:42,720
Speaker 1: then I'm dinner with Las Vegas Raiders brass tonight, then

522
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,680
Speaker 1: have a full interview on Saturday. This is a good

523
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:47,919
Speaker 1: one to watch because he is expected to pair with

524
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 1: Dave Zigo the Patriots, the facto GM who previously interviewed

525
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 1: with the Raiders for that vacant position. My understanding is

526
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:57,960
Speaker 1: Josh McDaniels would not take this interview unless he believed

527
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,680
Speaker 1: there's a strong chance he'd get it, and Raiders would

528
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:03,720
Speaker 1: not make a request unless they believed these are strong

529
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:06,480
Speaker 1: chance he would take it. A lot of momentum here

530
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:09,080
Speaker 1: for both sides. It's going to play out over the weekend.

531
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:12,640
Speaker 1: He's left Bill Belichick once without to Denver didn't quite

532
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 1: work out made his return. We'll see if things are

533
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:19,200
Speaker 1: different with another AFC West squash. I feel good. Yea, yeah,

534
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:22,159
Speaker 1: you gotta make your NFC fix too. Let's do it.

535
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 1: You're ready. Was it hard for you to decide it's

536
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 1: a close matchup? It's tough when you've been punched in

537
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 1: the face six straight times and I see you go

538
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:32,199
Speaker 1: home crying. It's like, ah, what changed? Can you explain it?

539
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:33,920
Speaker 1: If it's six straight times? And why is it hard

540
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:37,200
Speaker 1: to pick this one? Physicality verse finesse It's always been

541
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:40,119
Speaker 1: one of those things in the NFL finesse verse, the

542
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:43,879
Speaker 1: West Coast verse, gut punching. But if it is, to

543
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,240
Speaker 1: his point, if it's six and oh, isn't it isn't

544
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:48,399
Speaker 1: it a slam dunk that it's going to be the Niners? No,

545
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:51,960
Speaker 1: it's no slam dunk. Yeah, the mercenaeil the scheme, styles

546
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:55,280
Speaker 1: make fights. Kyle Shanahan has a great scheme going against

547
00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 1: what the Rams deliver. They might have the Rams might

548
00:25:57,640 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 1: end of time Brady's career last week, like this is

549
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 1: a different you know what I'm saying, And but and

550
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:09,679
Speaker 1: yet yeah, but let's talk about it coming up, Niners Rams,

551
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:15,200
Speaker 1: I'll tell you, oh my gosh, starts spreading the news.

552
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:27,480
Speaker 1: Yep too, sleeps away from championship. Sudden minierlot. He made

553
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:29,960
Speaker 1: her picks for Bengals versus Chiefs. Let's take a look here.

554
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:33,240
Speaker 1: Two for Chiefs, two for Bengals. In just a second,

555
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:36,640
Speaker 1: we will walk in our predictions for the NFC Championship.

556
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 1: But before we do, we need to get the latest

557
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:42,119
Speaker 1: on the nine Stacy Dales. What's shaken? Niners practice on Thursday,

558
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:45,200
Speaker 1: and once again no All Pro left tackle Trent Williams

559
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 1: as he continues to rehab through that right ankle injury,

560
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:50,640
Speaker 1: but again the team is optimistic that he'll be able

561
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:53,159
Speaker 1: to play on Sunday. Running Back Elijah Mitchell, the team's

562
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 1: leading rusher, limited at practice, but something they've been doing

563
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 1: over the past several weeks. Nothing of concern. Great news

564
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:02,680
Speaker 1: for their second very defensively, Ambrey Thomas, cornerback was full

565
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:04,720
Speaker 1: go despite that knee injury that kept him out of

566
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:08,119
Speaker 1: the Packers game. Kyle Shanahan has been asked multiple times

567
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:10,879
Speaker 1: this week about finishing, as have his players. Given they

568
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 1: were in a Super Bowl just a couple of years ago,

569
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:15,359
Speaker 1: they didn't finish and maybe the motivation there for the

570
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:18,239
Speaker 1: head coach, and he acknowledged yet something maybe you do

571
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:20,639
Speaker 1: think about. But like anything in life, he talked about,

572
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:22,840
Speaker 1: you go through ups and downs. He did tell us

573
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 1: that when he became a coach, he was committed to

574
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:27,560
Speaker 1: winning a Super Bowl. He said, you know how hard

575
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 1: it is to get there, but you just want the

576
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 1: opportunity to get there, because if you do, you have

577
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:34,520
Speaker 1: an opportunity to go and get it. Have to get

578
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:36,920
Speaker 1: through the Rams first on Sunday in order to do so.

579
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:40,040
Speaker 1: It's all very exciting. Thank you so much, Stacy Nellie

580
00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 1: at all the info we need to make our picks

581
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:46,960
Speaker 1: for part three of Niners. Rams matchup with massive superstars

582
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:48,520
Speaker 1: on both sides of the field. The winner goes onto

583
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 1: Super Bowl fifty six. Potentially the Rams played in their backyard.

584
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 1: There Chris Carter who comes away with a win on

585
00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:59,359
Speaker 1: Championship a Sunday. I do believe it's going to be

586
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 1: a great ball game, but to me, it boils down

587
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:05,480
Speaker 1: to a few things. Number one thing when you analyze

588
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:07,520
Speaker 1: this and going back and watching the last two games

589
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:10,440
Speaker 1: with Jimmy Garoppolo, Yes, and I can understand the weather

590
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:13,959
Speaker 1: last weekend Green Bay, but the inability for an offense

591
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:15,800
Speaker 1: to be able to get the ball deep down the

592
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:19,119
Speaker 1: field are outside of the numbers. They just don't have it.

593
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:22,399
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo's got two completions outside the numbers over the

594
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 1: course of those two games. I don't believe they have

595
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:28,440
Speaker 1: the firepower. I'm concerned about Trent Williams being injured there.

596
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:31,000
Speaker 1: He was limping around that Green Bay game, and a

597
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:33,439
Speaker 1: lot of their toughness comes from him. A lot of

598
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:36,120
Speaker 1: their versatility comes with his ability to play a couple

599
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:38,720
Speaker 1: of different positions. And then from the RAM standpoint, this

600
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:41,560
Speaker 1: is why you make the Matthew Stafford trade and him

601
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 1: getting two wins before the NFC Championship game to give

602
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:48,560
Speaker 1: him that confidence because I believe Cooper Cup will get

603
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:51,240
Speaker 1: a lot of coverage and O b J. I believe

604
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 1: will have the best game he's had as a RAM

605
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:57,600
Speaker 1: and underrated on the Rams defense. Is von Miller not

606
00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:01,240
Speaker 1: rushing the passer? We know about that, but against the run,

607
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:04,360
Speaker 1: watch von Miller from the point of attack. Trying to

608
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 1: get back to another Super Bowl. I believe that that

609
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:09,560
Speaker 1: is enough for Matthew Stafford to be in the first

610
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:12,360
Speaker 1: Super Bowl and back to back years the home team

611
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:16,240
Speaker 1: it's playing in Super Bowl. It's incredible. Those Rams got horses,

612
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:19,320
Speaker 1: don't they, Chris, They're loaded from that to this. You

613
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:21,560
Speaker 1: know what I enjoy watching. I enjoy watching the devil

614
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 1: Wares product. I do. And the devil Wares product is

615
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:28,720
Speaker 1: it about a very very powerful person who just abuses

616
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:32,200
Speaker 1: the hell out of her assistant. And make no mistake,

617
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:34,320
Speaker 1: that is playing out in front of us this weekend.

618
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:36,560
Speaker 1: Go back to the Washington days. I listened to it

619
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:38,720
Speaker 1: this week on The Flying Coach with Peter Schrager and

620
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:41,480
Speaker 1: Sean McVay podcast on The Ringer, and Peter was there

621
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:43,840
Speaker 1: with Sean. He was there with Kyle and Sean McVay.

622
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:45,560
Speaker 1: Thatman right there is telling the story of back in

623
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:49,680
Speaker 1: the day in Washington. He was Kyle's quality control coach

624
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:52,320
Speaker 1: and like Sean, what is the QC his own words,

625
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:56,800
Speaker 1: it's basically an assistance. I was Kyle's assistant and one

626
00:29:56,800 --> 00:30:01,840
Speaker 1: of Sean's duties was laminating Kyle Shanahan's play card before

627
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 1: the game. And with that came checking the weather because

628
00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 1: if it's gonna rain, you gotta have it laminated. And

629
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:08,680
Speaker 1: one time he didn't make a second copy of that

630
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:11,560
Speaker 1: guy's play card, and that guy was pissed and he

631
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 1: let him know, and it was the full Merrild to

632
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 1: Hathaway look down. And it has continued on and on

633
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:21,400
Speaker 1: and on. As much as we say McVay wants to

634
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:22,800
Speaker 1: beat the guy who was his boss, wants to be

635
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:24,360
Speaker 1: the guy who, as of course he is. You think

636
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 1: the boss wants to lose to the laminator. You think

637
00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:29,000
Speaker 1: he wants to lose to the guy who didn't make

638
00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:33,840
Speaker 1: a second copy. Tell you what, Laminator assistant, why don't

639
00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 1: you go laminate my field pass for the Super Bowl?

640
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:39,840
Speaker 1: Why don't you go laminate super Bowl tickets for my family?

641
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 1: I still own you, I'm still the boss, I'm still Street,

642
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:47,680
Speaker 1: You're still Hathaway. Nine ers, twenty three rams, twenty that's all.

643
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:49,719
Speaker 1: Did you get the Harry Potter books before they were?

644
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:51,600
Speaker 1: I want them autographed? And by the way, I happened

645
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:55,400
Speaker 1: to know Kyle Shanahan wears product. He's got product loafers.

646
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:58,640
Speaker 1: He is the devil in this equation. And this isn't halfaway.

647
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 1: She's still hanging out with Adrian Bryner in the bar.

648
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:04,880
Speaker 1: She hasn't had her glow up yet. Twenty three to twenty.

649
00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:08,480
Speaker 1: That's all. Yeah, Sometimes I wonder why do Rams fans

650
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:13,920
Speaker 1: think we hate him? Kyle. That's a very good defense,

651
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:18,040
Speaker 1: either Stanley Tucci or Emily Blunt. So I'll jump right

652
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:22,040
Speaker 1: Stanley Tucci. You got burned at the end, though, Tucci,

653
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:24,720
Speaker 1: I think deserve better than that. Um. Welcome to a

654
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:27,680
Speaker 1: really weird text this morning. And it was a text

655
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:31,480
Speaker 1: from a forty nine Ers fan and a friend of

656
00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:33,760
Speaker 1: mine who wrote, Hey, just fy before you go on

657
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:38,080
Speaker 1: air this morning. Possible omens for the forty year anniversary

658
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:42,080
Speaker 1: of Niners versus Bengals. Now, this was the Niners and

659
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:45,440
Speaker 1: Bengals played in nineteen eighty two and in a super Bowl.

660
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:48,880
Speaker 1: That season, the Niners beat the Bengals in Cincinnati during

661
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:51,160
Speaker 1: the regular season. Okay, you were there. The Niners did

662
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:54,200
Speaker 1: beat Cincinnati during the regular seasons. This year, the Niners

663
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 1: played in the same super Bowl stadium during the regular season.

664
00:31:57,640 --> 00:31:59,720
Speaker 1: It was a Detroit that year. They actually did it.

665
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:01,480
Speaker 1: This year they played in Los Angeles. They won in

666
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 1: Week eighteen. The Niners beat the Cowboys in the playoffs

667
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:06,560
Speaker 1: that year. It was the catch Dwight Clark. The Niners

668
00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:09,080
Speaker 1: have beaten the Cowboys in the playoffs this year in

669
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 1: the historical connection that was John Madden's first ever Super

670
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:17,480
Speaker 1: Bowl broadcast Bengals versus forty nine Ers. That text was

671
00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 1: then followed up in a tweet from a guy Tuton, SF,

672
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:22,640
Speaker 1: who tweeted me the same exact things. That is a

673
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:25,720
Speaker 1: meme going around right now, not only forty nine Ers fans,

674
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:27,720
Speaker 1: but for Bengals fans, saying it is meant to be.

675
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 1: This is supposed to be a Bengals forty nine Ers year,

676
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:34,600
Speaker 1: and yet twenty twenty two. I can't do it. I

677
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:37,040
Speaker 1: just can't do it. I love this Niners team, I

678
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:40,080
Speaker 1: love this ride. I think that they have seen this

679
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:43,560
Speaker 1: Niners team twice and that Rams defense has pride, that

680
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 1: Rams defense has integrity, and I don't think they're gonna

681
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 1: let Deebo Samuel and George Kittle and Kyle Uschek push

682
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:53,240
Speaker 1: them around. I think there's something about pride in a

683
00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:56,400
Speaker 1: locker room, and they've been embarrassed not just a couple

684
00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:58,960
Speaker 1: of times this year, but six straight times in a row.

685
00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:01,200
Speaker 1: Mcvayh and Shanahan are one thing I think about the

686
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 1: men in that locker room. I think of Aaron Donald,

687
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:06,400
Speaker 1: I think of Cooper Cup. I think of Matthew Stafford,

688
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:09,120
Speaker 1: I think of Andrew Whitworth. These are guys who go

689
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 1: every day to work and they don't like seeing the

690
00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:15,640
Speaker 1: stories that they are lesser men than the guys who

691
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:17,480
Speaker 1: are on the other side of the ball. This one

692
00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:19,560
Speaker 1: is like cave men's stuff to me, and I think

693
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:21,600
Speaker 1: at some point the other caveman has to push back.

694
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:24,040
Speaker 1: I am taking the rams as I detailed earlier on

695
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:27,080
Speaker 1: the show. I think they finally finally slay the dragons,

696
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:29,320
Speaker 1: the mighty forty nine ers from across the field. It's

697
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:33,120
Speaker 1: well said they're a beautiful roster, a Super Bowl roster.

698
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:36,640
Speaker 1: But at what point do they get pride? What six

699
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:39,520
Speaker 1: times they've lost? But not after the second time they

700
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:41,560
Speaker 1: lost to Shanahan. Were they like, man, we can't get

701
00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:44,720
Speaker 1: pushed around the third the fourth time in a row,

702
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:47,600
Speaker 1: you lose to the Niners in Shanahan, and the pride

703
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:50,400
Speaker 1: doesn't show up there the fifth time? Okay, for sure,

704
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:53,080
Speaker 1: you're not going to lose six to cut, Yes you do.

705
00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:56,080
Speaker 1: Why is this different? I have no reason to believe

706
00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:59,480
Speaker 1: that it is playoffs. Different chapter totally understand, but six

707
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:02,880
Speaker 1: and does not happen as an accident there is something

708
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:06,000
Speaker 1: that Shanahan does to McVeigh and maybe to the rest

709
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:08,839
Speaker 1: of that team. You mentioned Kittle Anddiebo. Those are superstars

710
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:12,480
Speaker 1: who make plays in the moment. That's the world. That

711
00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:15,800
Speaker 1: was the ghost that's super Bowl forty years late? Anybody

712
00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:18,239
Speaker 1: else here that Okay, that hasn't happened in six years?

713
00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:20,799
Speaker 1: On the shutter? What actually was that? I don't know.

714
00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:24,280
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I think that street goes to seven.

715
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:28,239
Speaker 1: The Niners pound their third trip to Sophie this year,

716
00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:30,480
Speaker 1: heading back to the Super Bowl. What for the second

717
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:33,080
Speaker 1: time in three years? I want to go in Niners.

718
00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:36,799
Speaker 1: We got Rams, Niners, Rams Niners right fields like it

719
00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:38,799
Speaker 1: should be just like it. I don't know what that was.

720
00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:40,319
Speaker 1: You have the perspective to tell you what I was

721
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:42,359
Speaker 1: talking about. Ghosts from forty years ago and the ghost

722
00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:44,319
Speaker 1: of John Madden and all this stuff. And then case

723
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:47,440
Speaker 1: camera goes I don't know, guys, something eeries out on here.

724
00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:49,600
Speaker 1: It might be you, guys. It smuggles and Niners might

725
00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:52,480
Speaker 1: be the pick to change. Now, guys, why would it

726
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:54,560
Speaker 1: change now? I believe this one can be different because

727
00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:56,920
Speaker 1: it's beating the team for the third time in one season,

728
00:34:57,080 --> 00:35:00,680
Speaker 1: and the Rams are a better roster. Happens, and they

729
00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:03,239
Speaker 1: stopped their defense. Their offense completely lost last week. Well,

730
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:05,439
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers didn't come through. They had plenty of guys open.

731
00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:07,759
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford. They're gonna have some guys open and I

732
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:10,080
Speaker 1: don't think they're gonna have a running game. Matthew Stafford

733
00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:12,479
Speaker 1: throws the ball forty times in this game. You stop

734
00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:15,880
Speaker 1: the MVP. The MVP was not good last week in LAMB.

735
00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:18,800
Speaker 1: Stafford isn't playing in LA. I think it's a different

736
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:21,600
Speaker 1: l what's your take. We're talking about the Rams running game.

737
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:24,719
Speaker 1: Cam Makers fumbled twice, terrible. You can't trust him in

738
00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:26,319
Speaker 1: the title get two fumbles? Like what are they going

739
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 1: to win this game? And they're not gonna rely on him?

740
00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:29,640
Speaker 1: They don't win this caam and less. Stafford throws for

741
00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:32,360
Speaker 1: three twenty and has like four touch They need Stafford

742
00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:33,640
Speaker 1: to throw them through this. They're not gonna rely on

743
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:35,600
Speaker 1: cam Akers running the ball here? How could you not

744
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:37,520
Speaker 1: on that? Now? You can't, You can't, you can't. It's

745
00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:39,400
Speaker 1: a great story that kills like two fumbles on one

746
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:41,040
Speaker 1: to get You can't do it. You have faith in Stafford,

747
00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:42,680
Speaker 1: now don't you? I do I watched them last week

748
00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:44,680
Speaker 1: be more clutch and better than Brady in his house,

749
00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:46,880
Speaker 1: and it completely changed. I think Stafford will show up.

750
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:48,320
Speaker 1: I think this game is gonna who's gonna make the

751
00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:51,080
Speaker 1: big mistakes? Stafford biggest X factor. That place is going

752
00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:53,240
Speaker 1: to be covered in red. It's gonna be all Niners fans.

753
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:55,080
Speaker 1: I'll tell you like it is. I know the Rams

754
00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:57,160
Speaker 1: are trying everything they can. And I heard Kelly Stafford

755
00:35:57,239 --> 00:35:58,840
Speaker 1: is trying to buy tickets and give them to fans,

756
00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:01,040
Speaker 1: and Kara Henderson, Let's Need's wife, she's trying to do

757
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:03,160
Speaker 1: it for them, and Andrew Whitworth's doing it. I love

758
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:06,040
Speaker 1: that because they don't. It's a turf four and every

759
00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:07,719
Speaker 1: edge counts. But that place is going to be all

760
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:09,759
Speaker 1: read on Sunday. It isn't It's what it is. Kyle.

761
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:11,200
Speaker 1: You think it's going to come down to who's more

762
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:13,040
Speaker 1: likely to make a mistake, and you're picking the Niners

763
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:16,239
Speaker 1: to win. Jimmy Garoppolo's less likely to make a mistake

764
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:20,319
Speaker 1: than Stafford. And still I'm just talking. Okay, let's say

765
00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:23,520
Speaker 1: head on to our little Nate Burlison. He's joining us

766
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:25,400
Speaker 1: from the set of CBS Morning, where he spends his

767
00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:29,160
Speaker 1: Monday through Fridays and Nate, we're here Championship Sunday from

768
00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:32,040
Speaker 1: thirty two to four. Let's do this. You had yourself

769
00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:34,799
Speaker 1: a week you showed up on Jeopardy. I heard last

770
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:38,920
Speaker 1: night asking contestants a question about conference Championship heroes. What

771
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:41,359
Speaker 1: was that like? It was great, you know, to be

772
00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:43,840
Speaker 1: part of a show that I grew up watching was awesome.

773
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:46,319
Speaker 1: They came to the studio and they wanted us to

774
00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:49,520
Speaker 1: be part of the show, and everybody for myself, Bill Coward, JB,

775
00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:51,759
Speaker 1: of course, Phil and Boom. We were able to do

776
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:54,120
Speaker 1: our part. So it was an awesome experience. Nate. You

777
00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:57,520
Speaker 1: also sat down with Antonio Brown this week for CBS Mornings.

778
00:36:57,520 --> 00:36:58,759
Speaker 1: I was watching some of the stuff you put it.

779
00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:00,319
Speaker 1: I thought you did a really nice job of not

780
00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:02,759
Speaker 1: just letting him skate and dank, like, actually went at him,

781
00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:06,080
Speaker 1: which was awesome. What was your biggest takeaway from that conversation.

782
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:09,120
Speaker 1: Some of the moves Antonio has made, or let's just say,

783
00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:12,600
Speaker 1: some of the public breakups between him and these organizations

784
00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:15,560
Speaker 1: were more well orchestrated than we thought from the outside

785
00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:18,040
Speaker 1: looking in. It's oh what happened in Pittsburgh, he didn't

786
00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:20,040
Speaker 1: show up for the game, they could have made the playoffs.

787
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:23,800
Speaker 1: He shows up with the R jacket or what happened

788
00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:28,080
Speaker 1: in Oakland or maybe even New England. He has these

789
00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:32,040
Speaker 1: conversations with people that are making decisions within these organizations,

790
00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:35,719
Speaker 1: and he works his way out of these situations. I

791
00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:38,480
Speaker 1: honestly feel like a lot of his moves are more

792
00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:41,120
Speaker 1: strategic and orchestrated than we think. I mean, he even

793
00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:43,040
Speaker 1: brought it up, he said, Nate, I manifested my way

794
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:45,120
Speaker 1: out of certain teams. I knew that we weren't going

795
00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:46,960
Speaker 1: to win a super Bowl, and I wanted a super

796
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:48,960
Speaker 1: Bowl ring on my legacy. So that was one of

797
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:51,480
Speaker 1: my biggest takeaways. You know, I still feel like Antonio

798
00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:54,600
Speaker 1: Brown has to take a little bit more responsibility for

799
00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:56,560
Speaker 1: some of these actions. But all in all, he was

800
00:37:56,600 --> 00:37:58,920
Speaker 1: in a good move, very transparent, and I appreciate him

801
00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:00,560
Speaker 1: for opening up. We sat down like an hour or

802
00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:02,279
Speaker 1: some change, and there is a lot of stuff left

803
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:04,040
Speaker 1: on the cutting board that we actually couldn't use, and

804
00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:07,120
Speaker 1: maybe we'll release it on our digital platform soon. Let's

805
00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:10,400
Speaker 1: get to another personal connection to you, and that's former

806
00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:13,160
Speaker 1: quarterback of yours Matthew Stafford. He's a game away from

807
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:15,479
Speaker 1: the super Bowl. From a personal standpoint, have you reached

808
00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:17,440
Speaker 1: out to Stafford in the last couple of days and

809
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:19,480
Speaker 1: what do you think awaits him this weekend when that

810
00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:22,120
Speaker 1: San Francisco defense is coming. Yeah? No, Peter, I can

811
00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:25,320
Speaker 1: remember us over the last few years saying pay attention

812
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:29,200
Speaker 1: to the Detroit Lions, to Matt Stafford is our dark

813
00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:31,520
Speaker 1: horse MVP too. I think we even went as far

814
00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:34,160
Speaker 1: as Matt Stafford will be the MVP this season. So

815
00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:36,080
Speaker 1: I'm right there with you know. I haven't reached out

816
00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:38,160
Speaker 1: to him yet. I wanted to wait until after they

817
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:40,080
Speaker 1: win this game. I didn't just make my pick, but

818
00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:42,680
Speaker 1: maybe I did. My biggest takeaway is that Matthew Stafford

819
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:45,279
Speaker 1: has some Detroit in them. What do I mean by that?

820
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:48,120
Speaker 1: I reached out to the crew. I told Hamilton, what's up? Hammer.

821
00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:50,640
Speaker 1: I was like, give me some Detroit Lions highlights and

822
00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:53,120
Speaker 1: some RAMS highlights. Just check out these throws. This is

823
00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:54,719
Speaker 1: the same dude, And I know you're sitting at home

824
00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:56,160
Speaker 1: and you're saying, well, Nate, what does it matter that

825
00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:58,640
Speaker 1: he has still has some Detroit in them? Because Detroit

826
00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:01,759
Speaker 1: was hard some tough times, rough times. There were some

827
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:04,480
Speaker 1: games and some seasons where we knew we weren't in it.

828
00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:07,960
Speaker 1: Times we were overlooked, times we were disrespected. I mean,

829
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:10,480
Speaker 1: I've had friends on other teams that said, you guys

830
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:14,080
Speaker 1: are the homecoming game for our schedule. Why does that

831
00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:16,880
Speaker 1: matter right now? Because there's no moment there's going to

832
00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:18,840
Speaker 1: be too big for Matt Stafford. We've been hearing it

833
00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:22,480
Speaker 1: all year. Well, eventually Matt Stafford's going to become Matt Stafford. Well,

834
00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:24,640
Speaker 1: the playoffs are here. I don't know if I trust

835
00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:27,000
Speaker 1: Matt Stafford. Matt Stafford has to show us who he is.

836
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:29,120
Speaker 1: Well he is. He's showing you that he's a winner

837
00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:30,799
Speaker 1: and with a good team and a great coach, he

838
00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:33,279
Speaker 1: can take a team to a super Bowl. So for me,

839
00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:36,359
Speaker 1: I love the fact that mister Los Angeles rams, Matt

840
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:40,480
Speaker 1: Stafford still has a little bit of Detroit in him. Okay, Detroit.

841
00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:42,960
Speaker 1: Let's head over to the AFC and the Bengals headed

842
00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:45,560
Speaker 1: in the Arrowhead, which you and I consider to be

843
00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:48,680
Speaker 1: one of the toughest places to play Cincinnati, though they

844
00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:51,160
Speaker 1: got the best of Kansas City in Week number seventeen.

845
00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:53,680
Speaker 1: If you're a young player on that team, Nate, what

846
00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:56,320
Speaker 1: do you take away from that win in week number

847
00:39:56,360 --> 00:39:58,760
Speaker 1: seventeen for the Bengals, Well, you have to take everything

848
00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:00,879
Speaker 1: away from it. I mean, if if your Casey, you're

849
00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:03,080
Speaker 1: thinking to yourself a regular season that has nothing to

850
00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:04,719
Speaker 1: do with the postseason, you know how it is, Chris.

851
00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:07,359
Speaker 1: But if you're on a Cincinnati Bengals team, you're thinking

852
00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:10,040
Speaker 1: to yourself that that's exactly who we are, and that's

853
00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:13,480
Speaker 1: exactly who the Chiefs are. We beat these guys, and

854
00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:15,799
Speaker 1: I know people are saying, well, Tyron Matthew comes back,

855
00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:18,480
Speaker 1: He's gonna help the squad out. It seems like that

856
00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:21,120
Speaker 1: secondary it was a little bit lost without this leadership. Well,

857
00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:23,640
Speaker 1: Tyron Matthew was on the field while Joe Burrow was

858
00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:27,000
Speaker 1: going crazy and Jamar Chase was getting busy. So the

859
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:29,720
Speaker 1: biggest takeaway is that they have beat the Chiefs before

860
00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:32,960
Speaker 1: and recently. How much different is this squad? I'm not

861
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:36,319
Speaker 1: sure they are. So I'm talking to myself, you know,

862
00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:39,279
Speaker 1: in the mirror before the game, really giving myself and

863
00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:41,880
Speaker 1: the team a high speech, saying we are the better squad.

864
00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:43,880
Speaker 1: We proved that the last time we played these guys.

865
00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:46,160
Speaker 1: Let's go do it again. It's as simple as that

866
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:48,319
Speaker 1: they also have an extra day of rest. I think

867
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:50,839
Speaker 1: that matters at this point in the season. And Nate,

868
00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:53,400
Speaker 1: one of the things I miss most about you having

869
00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:55,360
Speaker 1: here at the breakfast tables and we do a signature

870
00:40:55,360 --> 00:40:57,839
Speaker 1: segment that we've done for five years. You aren't there

871
00:40:57,920 --> 00:40:59,520
Speaker 1: to weigh in, but we love it. You come on

872
00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:01,920
Speaker 1: the show. They want to bring back the scale segment.

873
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:05,240
Speaker 1: You know it very well. We need your shock scale

874
00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:07,839
Speaker 1: on a scale of one to ten. What would your

875
00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:10,640
Speaker 1: scale look like, least shocking to most shocking. I have

876
00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:12,200
Speaker 1: to make sure I get this right because I always

877
00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:15,879
Speaker 1: mess it up. Okay, So the least shocking, that's one, right,

878
00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:18,600
Speaker 1: that's at the bottom of the scale. I'm going with

879
00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:23,279
Speaker 1: the fresh prints reboots. Listen, the least shocking is that

880
00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:26,839
Speaker 1: they're rebooting everything nowadays. And then on the opposite end,

881
00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:29,799
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham being good. I think the world is like

882
00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:32,320
Speaker 1: they're sitting back and they're shocked. They're like, what is

883
00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:35,320
Speaker 1: going on? Odell Beckham is good? What are you talking about?

884
00:41:35,360 --> 00:41:38,719
Speaker 1: We've been talking about this forever and I think I'm

885
00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:42,399
Speaker 1: talking about on a grand scale, not myself. People are

886
00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:45,960
Speaker 1: talking about Odell like he's having this revisit of his

887
00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:48,960
Speaker 1: old self. You know why he was struggling in Cleveland

888
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:51,640
Speaker 1: because the offense was terrible and they didn't focus on

889
00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:53,880
Speaker 1: So for me, I think on my scale, it's the

890
00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:56,560
Speaker 1: freshman's reboot and then Odell being good. There you go,

891
00:41:56,800 --> 00:41:59,000
Speaker 1: oh man, what you guys do? Want to do that? Right?

892
00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:01,960
Speaker 1: I mean we said, what's the most shocking thing? And

893
00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:06,719
Speaker 1: your answer is that you're you're not shocked by you

894
00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:09,000
Speaker 1: got it wrong. And it's just like no I said,

895
00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:13,200
Speaker 1: on a grand scale the fans, it's a personal sh scale.

896
00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:18,439
Speaker 1: We've done this for years. Why doesn't he get God? Nate,

897
00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:22,839
Speaker 1: I love you, Love you.
