Speaker 2: is I want your flex with Dan Bayer and Mike Harmon.

6
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:20,320

13
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:49,599
Speaker 4: At Dan Byer on Fox. So one game left Niners Chiefs.

14
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 4: When we found out this matchup, guys, was there anything

15
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 4: or has there been anything that has swayed your opinion

16
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 4: with how this is going to play out from when

17
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 4: we found out that it was going to be a

18
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 4: rematch to Super Bowl fifty four a week and a

19
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 4: half ago on that Sunday night, Has anything changed your

20
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:09,960
Speaker 4: mind over the last.

21
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 1: Week and a half that would change your prediction from

22
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 1: this game?

23
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 5: I think just the over abundance of legacy talk can

24
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 5: kind of get me angry at some point to where

25
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 5: I want it to be about the game and not

26
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:27,040
Speaker 5: about some fictional list of where guys rank and what

27
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 5: they're all about and everything. But in terms of the

28
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 5: actual game, not really. I mean, maybe maybe a little bit,

29
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 5: just kind of looking at the Niners a bit more

30
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 5: for their path of getting here and trying to figure

31
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 5: out how Steve Wilkes and that defense changes what they

32
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 5: were and the identity they'd become down the stretch. I

33
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 5: think that's that's the biggest thing for me, right Kansas

34
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 5: City playing some better football, the guys in the playoffs

35
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 5: actually catching the ball, something they struggled with.

36
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 3: Obviously.

37
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 5: We talked about that all season long, with the forty

38
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 5: four drops and all. So I think that's just it

39
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 5: for Steve Wilks and company, the toughness up front, and

40
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 5: that when we hear the names of Bosa and Chase

41
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:11,360
Speaker 5: Young and whatever, it's not because of some fun answers

42
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 5: about getting brock prety tattooed on them, but more so

43
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 5: that they're actually making plays on the field.

44
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:19,519
Speaker 1: Yeah, you'll go ahead versus go ahead.

45
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 6: I think for me it's overall and nothing's really changed

46
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 6: in terms of the way I'm kind of viewing these

47
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 6: two teams coming into this game. I think the only

48
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:32,920
Speaker 6: thing is it's just kind of the very the very small,

49
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,360
Speaker 6: well it's not that small, but it's just kind of

50
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,799
Speaker 6: been a footnote throughout the week, and that's Joe Toney's

51
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 6: health status, only because it kind of gives me flashbacks

52
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 6: to a couple of years ago with the Chiefs Bucks,

53
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 6: where the big issue with the Chiefs was how their

54
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 6: offensive line was really banged up coming into that game,

55
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 6: and that Bucks defensive line then just ran train on

56
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 6: mahomes and companies. So I think that's the only thing

57
00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 6: is where I keep seeing that note as like something

58
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,640
Speaker 6: where gives me a little bit of pause, because really,

59
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,359
Speaker 6: if the offensive line is not at full strength, it's

60
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 6: a much bigger issue than people seem to realize.

61
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 4: I would have said, dominated burse you used a different

62
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:12,359
Speaker 4: phrase to uh, you know, but.

63
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:14,239
Speaker 3: I enjoyed that that was good.

64
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 5: Because if you listen closely, you heard exactly what he said.

65
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 4: I mean, it was now they were down both of

66
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 4: their tackles. So I think you can mask some of

67
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:31,640
Speaker 4: the stuff with the guard maybe, you know, and protect

68
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 4: some of that, but against the Bucks, it was a

69
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 4: free for all, and you know, I just, I mean,

70
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 4: I have a pick in this game. But if there

71
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 4: was an area that was a bit sus it would

72
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 4: be that forty nine Ers defense.

73
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 1: There's there's no doubt about that.

74
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 4: And it's just it's not the one that we thought

75
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 4: that it was previously. I know, like we know, we

76
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 4: know all the names, right, but then you also saw

77
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 4: what Jordan Love did to them and what uh, you know,

78
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 4: obviously with what the Lions did to them. George Kidder

79
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 4: wants to point out that, you know, all of their

80
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 4: you know victories were you know, by a touchdown or more,

81
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 4: and you know, YadA, YadA, YadA, but they gave away

82
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 4: you know, you could score on them.

83
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: It's basically the point.

84
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,480
Speaker 4: And it's just not like the Domigo Ryans Robert solid

85
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,279
Speaker 4: defense that I thought that you had previously.

86
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,599
Speaker 5: Yeah, trying to clean that up is certainly the thing. Look,

87
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 5: if Patrick Mahomes has to run sideline to sideline for

88
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:30,719
Speaker 5: another five what was it five oh two or whatever

89
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,799
Speaker 5: the official count was after the game, then yeah, then yeah,

90
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 5: it's it's gonna be a mess. Obviously, a little change up.

91
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 5: You know, some components on the Chiefs defensive front as well.

92
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 5: But you know, we we've watched and that defense getting

93
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 5: it to run. It's certainly something the three of us

94
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:50,919
Speaker 5: have harped on all year, and Smith and I in

95
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:54,919
Speaker 5: the evenings, you know about how good and the defense

96
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 5: has played to carry you know, Mahomes and company to

97
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 5: this point and that now it's basically their time to

98
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,479
Speaker 5: grab the ball and see if they can't make some

99
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,600
Speaker 5: hay and take things over. But you know, you're looking

100
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 5: at odds if you're you know, since you're there in Vegastan,

101
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 5: you know, with all the MVP odds, you want to

102
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 5: have some fun. You know, you got a couple of

103
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 5: defenders off the chief side and certainly seven niners side

104
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:22,159
Speaker 5: where you're getting some major payoff if you decide to

105
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,719
Speaker 5: go long shot away from the offense, thinking there's going

106
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,840
Speaker 5: to be something defensively that tips the game.

107
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:32,719
Speaker 4: You know, I joked, I did a call with our

108
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 4: affiliate in Fargo, North Dakota sixteen sixty the Bison, and

109
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 4: I joked at if Isaiah Pacheco scored six touchdowns, it'd

110
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:45,040
Speaker 4: still give the MVP to Patrick Mahomes for his amazing handoffs.

111
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,159
Speaker 4: But you're but you're right, Like, if you look at

112
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:53,600
Speaker 4: last year, there's a play in that ballgame where, if

113
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 4: it's not overturned by replay, Nick Bolton has two defensive touchdowns.

114
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 4: And those are the things that can end up changing

115
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 4: a game. And I mean, heck, they gave it. They

116
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 4: gave Jacoby Jones, you know, the short nun of the

117
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 4: stick in Super Bowl fifty seven. He had two of

118
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 4: the bigger plays that you could have in a game

119
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,479
Speaker 4: that gave the MVP to Joe Flacco that year. It's

120
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 4: tough to wrangle it from from the quarterback's hands, but

121
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 4: if you have where the ball bounces your way, yeah,

122
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 4: I think there's I think that there's some fun in

123
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 4: going with a defensive person in that sort of contest.

124
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:27,480
Speaker 4: I don't know if I'm gonna play any bets though

125
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 4: on it. I'm not that I'm not that strong. Plus

126
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:34,600
Speaker 4: anytime I just lose any amount of money in you know, gambling,

127
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 4: at any point, I.

128
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 1: Just it dwells on me.

129
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,479
Speaker 4: I don't know how you guys are in betting or

130
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 4: in gambling if you're sitting down at a table or

131
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 4: at a machine.

132
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 1: But it eats at me.

133
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 4: I walked past the guy at a machine today that

134
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:50,600
Speaker 4: had thirteen thousand dollars.

135
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:52,040
Speaker 1: It is slot machine like it was.

136
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 4: Just nicely like that's just not a world that I

137
00:06:55,680 --> 00:07:00,600
Speaker 4: am familiar with, you know, It's just it was crazy.

138
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,720
Speaker 4: I just you know, me being I am not a

139
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 4: not a gambling man at nature, and there's just a

140
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 4: whole other world that just to me is it does

141
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 4: not resonate with me, and it's just so unfamiliar.

142
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 6: Yes, I've had times where I'd be on a blackjack

143
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 6: machine up one hundred and fifty and then I end

144
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 6: up walking away up eighty and then I'm just mad

145
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 6: because I'm like, I fuck, I don't. So yeah, there's

146
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 6: there's that level of uh. And and also like at

147
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 6: the times where I have been in states where sports

148
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 6: betting is fully legal, Yeah, I there's always a point

149
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 6: where I'm like, God, it is it's good that this

150
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 6: isn't legal in California because I would be in trouble

151
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 6: if it was. Like there's there's so many times where

152
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 6: it's just like I think I'm going to make great

153
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 6: money and I don't.

154
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 5: Fall In all of the states where we talk about

155
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 5: the lack of revenue opportunities, Hi, mister Governor, I have

156
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 5: a proposition for you over here. Yeah, I generally get

157
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 5: to the all right, it just means I have to

158
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 5: work another day, Right, I didn't cash out. It's like

159
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 5: why I don't play and buy scratch off lottery tickets

160
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 5: or whatever else and bursh.

161
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 3: You know.

162
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 5: I'm sure you've got plenty of guys around the office

163
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 5: and friends of yours that'll give you a VPN address

164
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 5: to help you get connect the dots, to get you

165
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 5: over that finish line.

166
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 3: Of it into But I don't know.

167
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 5: It's just always we were going to the racetrack as kids,

168
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 5: and you know, through your adults that were with you,

169
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 5: you were playing some paramutual wagering.

170
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 3: So it's always been in the blood.

171
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 5: You know. The key is not to get the fever right,

172
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 5: and I think that's what happens when folks touch down.

173
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 5: If you're you haven't done it before, then it feels

174
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 5: like you've got to bet everything. Right, you go to

175
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 5: the racetrack the same thing, and then out there in

176
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,560
Speaker 5: Vegas if the rest of the year you're not touching it,

177
00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 5: suddenly you're at the ATM at twelve oh one paying

178
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 5: twenty bucks to get your money out of the ATM.

179
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 1: Do you get the same rush like yeah you do,

180
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 1: oh sure, yeah?

181
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 3: Yeah.

182
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:13,440
Speaker 5: I mean like look, everybody hates, you know, a loss,

183
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,319
Speaker 5: does it eat No? I mean occasionally when we see

184
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 5: you know, bad like this is where officiating comes in

185
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 5: or whatever. And again like bursh, you know, being in California,

186
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:26,439
Speaker 5: I guess uh. And I'm not one that has gone

187
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 5: down the tunnels at this point to go and still

188
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 5: bet while I'm not in a legal state, but you know,

189
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 5: there's still the rush of it.

190
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 1: Right.

191
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 5: It's like when we predict stuff that goes right, there's

192
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:42,680
Speaker 5: juice to it. Sometimes you'd like there to be some

193
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 5: money attached to it, There's no question about that. And

194
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 5: when it goes wrong, you know, you feel it more

195
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:51,680
Speaker 5: cuz you know you you were invested enough or got

196
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 5: sold well enough to go make a move right. It's

197
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 5: why I understand if people get really mad at us

198
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 5: when we make a fantasy prediction that goes wrong. Probably

199
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 5: convince someone to go in and maybe put a little

200
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 5: bit of of either cash behind it or it's going

201
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 5: to affect where they stand, you know, if their league's

202
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 5: playing for stakes. Now, I would argue I did my

203
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 5: job if I convinced you to start a guy over another.

204
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:19,080
Speaker 5: So so I've got that in my back pocket. But

205
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 5: by the same token, I understand where that rush comes, right,

206
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 5: nothing ventured, nothing gained, and whatever. You know, It's why

207
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 5: when you buy a bunch of merch of your favorite team,

208
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 5: you know you feel that much more invested, right because

209
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 5: you voted with your dollars. I think same thing you

210
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 5: know in your bets, the conviction of not only the

211
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 5: strive to go make your riches and maybe build your

212
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 5: own hotel, casino sphere that you can go climb over

213
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:52,560
Speaker 5: in Vegas, that you're also looking at the the idea

214
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:54,319
Speaker 5: of saying, hey, look how smart I am. And I

215
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 5: think that's part of the appeal of it too that

216
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 5: I don't. I don't think it gets enough do right.

217
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 5: I think there's all often we talk about the dollars

218
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 5: and cents of it, Dan Ryan, but I think there's

219
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 5: just the I've got a ticket that shows I got

220
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 5: this right.

221
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:10,560
Speaker 1: No, yeah, no, yeah, I love being right.

222
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 3: No, exactly right. So that's it.

223
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 1: I do the scratch offs.

224
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 4: I play the game first, and then if I win,

225
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 4: then I scratch off the money. Ah See, you know,

226
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 4: like I like to be surprised at, like oh, I'm

227
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 4: a winner.

228
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 1: How much am I going to win? And it usually

229
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:25,840
Speaker 1: just says ticket.

230
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:28,960
Speaker 5: Do you usually do you do the game show voice

231
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:32,960
Speaker 5: in your head after you've scratched off and you've won

232
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:33,560
Speaker 5: the game.

233
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,960
Speaker 4: I don't. I'll tell you what is a rush though.

234
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 4: There are certain scratch offs and we'll take it. Then

235
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 4: we'll get back to the actual Super Bowl. You know,

236
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 4: there are scratch off tickets that are like they win

237
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,439
Speaker 4: on every line, but they may only be like five dollars,

238
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 4: and there's twenty lines and you win one hundred dollars

239
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 4: or something like that. But there's if you do it

240
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 4: that way, you're like, oh my goodness, And it's only

241
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 4: happened to me once and again the only prize money it.

242
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 1: Was just five dollars, five dollar, one dollars. I got

243
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 1: a ten dollars scratch off. But that is a rush

244
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:06,840
Speaker 1: like no other.

245
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:09,200
Speaker 4: You're just like, oh, my goodness, am I holding a

246
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:12,679
Speaker 4: winner of fifty dollars or could be fifty thousand dollars.

247
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:15,720
Speaker 4: I used to work at a truck stop gas station.

248
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 4: I don't know if you guys knew that out of

249
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:18,080
Speaker 4: high school.

250
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:21,239
Speaker 5: No, but this now becomes the rest of the podcast.

251
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 5: Screw the game. Out of stories of this or gotta

252
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 5: be legendary.

253
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 4: There was there was a guy who had come in

254
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 4: every two weeks because he knew he got paid and

255
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 4: he would buy milk, cigarettes and like two hundred dollars

256
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 4: worth of scratch offs and it was it was crazy,

257
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 4: like just that was that was his life. But working

258
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 4: there and not this guy, this other guy that came

259
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 4: in a bunch got a got a game where he

260
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,080
Speaker 4: won like four thousand dollars on a scratch off ticket,

261
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:55,720
Speaker 4: and it was just like so cool to see, you know.

262
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 1: So I wasn't even a winner and I got a rush.

263
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:00,719
Speaker 4: So we're talking about rushes and seeing that that's you know,

264
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 4: it wasn't even mine, and I'm like, that's it's pretty awesome.

265
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 5: But there's something to it, right right Why people gravitate

266
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:10,560
Speaker 5: to Vegas for March madness, Like I've been there in

267
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:14,680
Speaker 5: those in those circumstances, Buzzer beaters, particularly those first two

268
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:19,080
Speaker 5: days are just insane because every shot, every miss, every

269
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 5: foul call, people are living and dying. Like you could

270
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:24,720
Speaker 5: do a documentary just on people that are hanging out

271
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:28,080
Speaker 5: in those spots. Uh and and just watching the EBB

272
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 5: and flow and then the inevitable flood of tickets that

273
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:36,839
Speaker 5: go flying in or around the waste baskets because of

274
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:39,720
Speaker 5: the action that they had on I don't know, it's

275
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:41,960
Speaker 5: it's one of those things. I get it that you know,

276
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:46,680
Speaker 5: we always uh, you know, proceed with caution, right and

277
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 5: be smart about what you're betting at all. But uh,

278
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 5: certainly there there are a few things in our day

279
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:56,840
Speaker 5: to day lives for us, non dear devils out there, right.

280
00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:00,319
Speaker 5: I'm not, you know, doing a bunch of ziplining. I'm

281
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:03,440
Speaker 5: not diving out of airplanes. But if I can decide,

282
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 5: you know, plus two and a half and see how

283
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 5: smart I am for three hours, that's a pretty good

284
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 5: investment of my money in time. Because that's the other

285
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 5: part is that it's not just the result, it's how

286
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:17,960
Speaker 5: you get there. And yeah, you may be angry at

287
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 5: yourself at the end, but you still got three hours

288
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 5: of entertainment. It's like going to see a bad movie

289
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 5: or sitting on your couch and watching some bad TV.

290
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 5: Eventually you look around and go, what the hell did

291
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 5: I just do with that time? You made the investment there,

292
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 5: Now it's just dollars instead of time in your life,

293
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 5: you'll never get back.

294
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 4: We hope everyone enjoys this podcast. We are going to

295
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 4: take a time out. He's Mike Carmon. Ryan Berschinger is

296
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 4: our executive producer. I'm Dan Byer in Las Vegas getting

297
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 4: ready for Super Bowl fifty eight. I know you don't

298
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 4: want to talk a lot about legacy, but I am

299
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 4: curious about the coaches in this situation, Kyle Shanahan and

300
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 4: Andy Reid. Plus there are a couple of prop bets

301
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 4: that will go around the room and pick in advance

302
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 4: of the game. The Big Game, right, it's the Big

303
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 4: Game showing up at the Big Game. I always love

304
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 4: that in commercials. Anyway, we'll talk about it all next year.

305
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 4: And I want your flex. It is, I want your

306
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 4: flex legacy wise, not player wise, coach wise, Mike, Kyle Shanahan,

307
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 4: Andy Reid, who's the most intriguing figure of the two

308
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 4: gentlemen who will lead their teams onto the field in

309
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 4: Super Bowl fifty eight.

310
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 5: Well, I mean I think kindred spirits with Andy Reid,

311
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 5: just you know, sized scope and all of those things.

312
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 5: Going back to the kick pass punt competition video that

313
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 5: will no doubt make its way into circulation again here

314
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 5: as we get to the weekend, the guy who's had

315
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 5: two big careers, because remember he couldn't win anything back

316
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 5: in Philly, And eventually they clapped hands in Vegas blackjack

317
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 5: dealers style and walked away.

318
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 3: From each other.

319
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 5: But for Shanahan, it's time to show you can win

320
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 5: a big game right out, scheme out coach, make rock

321
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 5: pretty better than whatever term folks want to apply to

322
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 5: a game manager, whatever else goes on there that your offense,

323
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 5: offensive prowess, cansult this chief's defense, like, it's all of

324
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 5: those things. I think for Shanahan, I mean, look, Reed's

325
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 5: got his pelts on the wall. You win another one here,

326
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 5: maybe we changed the conversation, and you know, for the coaches,

327
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 5: I find those more intriguing because the way the game

328
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 5: changes over time, that you're navigating that kind of path.

329
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 3: So for Reed it's cool.

330
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 5: But for Shanahan, yeah, it would be another almost for

331
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 5: him in a career full of them. So while we

332
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 5: celebrate coaching trees and all of those other things, it

333
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 5: would be another loss in a big game.

334
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, I agree with Mike. I think with with Andy Reid,

335
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 6: it's kind of he's already very much in that conversation

336
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 6: of among the greatest of all time because of the

337
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 6: amount of Super Bowls here and this another one of

338
00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 6: course very much adds to that. It makes his legacy

339
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 6: very pressive, but it also is kind of a stat

340
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 6: patter at this point with with Kyle Shanahan, it's it's

341
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 6: entirely about getting one because I know, Dan, you're you're

342
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 6: sitting extra Rob Parker right now, and he has been.

343
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:15,640
Speaker 1: Among them on the forefront.

344
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:18,640
Speaker 6: Oh okay, but he's you know, he's he's around he's

345
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:21,640
Speaker 6: he's he's around the corner there in Vegas and he

346
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:24,680
Speaker 6: but he's he's been at the forefront of being incredibly

347
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:29,200
Speaker 6: uh critical of of Kyle Shanahan in the because of

348
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:30,639
Speaker 6: the fact that he hasn't been able to win the

349
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:34,920
Speaker 6: big game, and quite frankly, his coaching this postseason thus

350
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 6: far hasn't exactly been fantastic. I mean, yes, the the

351
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:40,639
Speaker 6: Niners got it together and were able to overcome that

352
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:43,400
Speaker 6: second half deficit with the Lions. But we talked about

353
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 6: in the Packers game, like there were decisions that the

354
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:48,679
Speaker 6: Niners were making they were pretty baffling. The the entire

355
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 6: lack of effort at the end of first half to

356
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 6: put to put a touchdown on the board when they

357
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 6: when they were already behind the eight ball against the Packers,

358
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,359
Speaker 6: it didn't really make much sense the play calling that

359
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:03,360
Speaker 6: they were going with. So Shanahan I think very much

360
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:07,479
Speaker 6: needs this because this is now time to really and

361
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:10,159
Speaker 6: especially against the Chiefs, like if he can chalk it

362
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:13,920
Speaker 6: up as a win over the Chiefs, like then all

363
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 6: those conversations criticizing what he can do in big games,

364
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 6: whether or not he can he can truly win, whether

365
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:22,320
Speaker 6: he is one of the best coaches in the league,

366
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:25,159
Speaker 6: those conversations then kind of fall by the wayside. You

367
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:27,639
Speaker 6: get one and it really does wash everything away.

368
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 4: It's it's funny because and this is maybe not the

369
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:34,439
Speaker 4: best example, but Phil Michelson would always push the line

370
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 4: in terms of his comments. He would always push, you know,

371
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:40,919
Speaker 4: push it right to the edge. And then when he

372
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:44,240
Speaker 4: made the comments prior to joining liv Golf about you

373
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:47,639
Speaker 4: know what they were gonna do, it completely crossed the

374
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:50,639
Speaker 4: line that he didn't realize could be crossed. And I

375
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:53,520
Speaker 4: feel that way with Kinle Shanahan in a sense where

376
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 4: and I feel we've all been a bit critical.

377
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 1: I know that Burst wants to give Rob Parker all

378
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:03,400
Speaker 1: of the flowers on this one.

379
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 4: No, I'm kidding, but I've wondered as well, like what

380
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:12,159
Speaker 4: at what point do you become that guy that just

381
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 4: can't get it done or you know, has the system,

382
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:19,680
Speaker 4: but the system only takes you so far, and and

383
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:22,480
Speaker 4: and so I think that that is. That is obviously,

384
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 4: you know, a thing that's talked about, but still he's

385
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:27,880
Speaker 4: thought of as a genius throughout the league.

386
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:30,400
Speaker 1: I mean, the four championship games.

387
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 4: You know, tough to match for what they've had, you know,

388
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:36,199
Speaker 4: over the over the last five years or whatever.

389
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 1: But in the end, you have to win.

390
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 4: Now, in saying all of that, the only reason I

391
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 4: preface that is because I think if Andy Reid sticks

392
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:47,440
Speaker 4: around and all this retirement talk happens.

393
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:49,959
Speaker 1: He's only if he wins on Sunday.

394
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:53,639
Speaker 4: He's on only six back of Belichick in career playoff wins.

395
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 1: He's only seventy back of Shula for the all time

396
00:19:57,640 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 1: win mark.

397
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:00,919
Speaker 4: And we think, like Belichick is is the guy like

398
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 4: Andy Reid if you stick around for another six years

399
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:06,480
Speaker 4: and average ten wins a year, which isn't out of

400
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 4: the question when Patrick Mahomes is your quarterback, like this

401
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:13,600
Speaker 4: is this could be another building block into the greatness

402
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:15,919
Speaker 4: of the resume of Andy Reid. And it's crazy to

403
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:19,960
Speaker 4: think he's completely wiped out being Andy Reid Eagles at coach,

404
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 4: like all of his chiefs accomplishments have totally you know,

405
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:26,320
Speaker 4: went over that. I just think like Ady Reid, like

406
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 4: in a in a bigger scale, can continue to build

407
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 4: that foundation to really be thought of as one of

408
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 4: the absolute great coaches that we've ever seen in the NFL.

409
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:36,880
Speaker 1: Yeah.

410
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:39,919
Speaker 5: I mean it look eight double digit win seasons with

411
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:43,639
Speaker 5: the Eagles, and most folks that are tuning into the

412
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 5: NFL this weekend, unless you put up that as part

413
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:51,879
Speaker 5: of a montage, don't recognize how great some of those

414
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:55,640
Speaker 5: teams were with Donovan McNabb and how how many big

415
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:57,639
Speaker 5: runs they had and then he just couldn't get over right.

416
00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:01,160
Speaker 5: You got tarall Owen's playing on a broken leg and

417
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:02,760
Speaker 5: all that stuff going back to.

418
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 3: The Super Bowl that they did make. But it is

419
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:07,560
Speaker 3: one of those things.

420
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:11,119
Speaker 5: And Andy Reid going to be sixty six here in

421
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 5: about a month's time that you look at the run

422
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 5: and I got to think that for the most part,

423
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 5: as long as you've got old number fifteen upright, and

424
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:23,200
Speaker 5: we had a nice cookie from the local bakery they

425
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:26,359
Speaker 5: made them, you know, in the jerseys of Mahomes and

426
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:30,639
Speaker 5: Kelsey and Purdy and all the party had way too

427
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 5: much icing on it. I think they screwed that one up.

428
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:36,680
Speaker 5: But the fact is that you're looking at a guy

429
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:38,680
Speaker 5: that it makes it a lot easier to say, Man,

430
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 5: I want to ride this thing out right for all

431
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:44,639
Speaker 5: the retirement talk, mean, why would you just hang it

432
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:45,120
Speaker 5: up now?

433
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 3: Like, unless you.

434
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:49,400
Speaker 5: Got something else that really is compelling you to go

435
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 5: into a different path. You want to go just hang

436
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:55,680
Speaker 5: out on the island and eat Tommy Burgers and whatever else. Otherwise,

437
00:21:55,840 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 5: like you're potentially at the helm of one of the

438
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:02,560
Speaker 5: greatest runs.

439
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 3: Of all time.

440
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:06,480
Speaker 5: You're looking at a defense that's got a lot of

441
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 5: component parts that are signed up for a while here

442
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 5: and young in a reinvention, and you know you can

443
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:16,720
Speaker 5: rebuild that offense alongside Pacheco and Rice and obviously Mahomes.

444
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:20,359
Speaker 5: Whatever Kelsey does, and I don't know, you can always

445
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:21,320
Speaker 5: have the argument of how.

446
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:22,359
Speaker 3: Much does he have left?

447
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:24,960
Speaker 5: Because there's all the retirement talk for him as well,

448
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 5: which I think is nonsense. He's kind of dismissed it

449
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:30,680
Speaker 5: a bit, but it still swirls out there. But yeah,

450
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 5: the opportunity, especially with Belichick currently parked on the sideline,

451
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:38,440
Speaker 5: is there to really cement your place in a whole

452
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 5: other level. And you know, we do it with players

453
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:43,359
Speaker 5: all the time. You know, going back to Shanahan just

454
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:46,840
Speaker 5: really quickly, it's the right he was unfortunate enough to

455
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:49,960
Speaker 5: play in this era. Certainly in the NBA we have

456
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 5: that you had the unfortunate occurrence that you played in

457
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:55,880
Speaker 5: the Michael Jordan prime era. I think for a lot

458
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 5: of teams AFC, and even if it's a one game

459
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:03,679
Speaker 5: showdown in the Super Bowl, you have the unfortunate task

460
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:07,000
Speaker 5: of trying to take down Mahomes and Read and whatever

461
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 5: else banda Merriman they bring to the table.

462
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 4: I do think that, you know, when we have looked

463
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:14,359
Speaker 4: back over the last twenty years or so, it did

464
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:16,439
Speaker 4: help that Peyton Manning went.

465
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:19,080
Speaker 1: To a couple of Super Bowls. Ben Roethlisberger went to

466
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:20,119
Speaker 1: a couple of Super Bowls.

467
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 4: You know, Philip Rivers is always trying to knock on

468
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:28,199
Speaker 4: that door the Ravens broke through. I'm about up to

469
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:31,560
Speaker 4: here with the Chiefs in the Super Bowl. You know,

470
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 4: like Joe Burrow broke through a couple of years ago.

471
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:37,639
Speaker 4: That's awesome, But I do not want to see Kansas

472
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:39,000
Speaker 4: City in Super Bowl fifty nine.

473
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 3: No, that's it, right, Yeah, No, we were talking about that, right,

474
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:44,639
Speaker 3: that saturation point.

475
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 5: We talked about it a lot, Dan, you and I

476
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 5: first here on the podcast. Right, it's that saturation point

477
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 5: we had that the flashpoint with the Warriors. Right, it

478
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 5: took two years. All right, I'm done with it. But

479
00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:59,639
Speaker 5: then they were around the heat when they formed. I

480
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 5: didn't care much about the decision show. The only thing

481
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 5: I cared is like, look, you guys did became the villains.

482
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:09,720
Speaker 5: You have to embrace it. Otherwise, you know, you're setting

483
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:12,679
Speaker 5: yourself up for some madness. And then you had a

484
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:15,160
Speaker 5: four year run where they were in the finals every year.

485
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:17,480
Speaker 5: It's like, all right, go away, Like I want to

486
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:20,000
Speaker 5: see something different. I want to see a breakthrough. And

487
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:21,960
Speaker 5: to your point, yeah, with the Chiefs, I think you

488
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:25,400
Speaker 5: know when we talk about quote villain, that's that's really

489
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:28,520
Speaker 5: the main thing of it all, is that, all right,

490
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:29,959
Speaker 5: I want to see something different.

491
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:34,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, I definitely, I definitely do.

492
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 4: Because there are gonna be people, there are gonna be

493
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 4: people who are, as Harvard loves to say, hate watching,

494
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:44,959
Speaker 4: and that's gonna be on Sunday, all right.

495
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 1: He's Mike Carmen, that's Ryan Bursinger. I'm Dan Beyer.

496
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:49,479
Speaker 4: When we come back, we'll wrap this up with some

497
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 4: prop bets and some predictions for Super Bowl fifty eight.

498
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:55,200
Speaker 1: And don't forget even once the game is.

499
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:56,959
Speaker 4: Done, we're gonna have another episode of Eye wat Your

500
00:24:56,960 --> 00:25:00,720
Speaker 4: Flax that will give you our top sixty p for

501
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:04,159
Speaker 4: fantasy football for the twenty twenty four season. That's going

502
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:06,680
Speaker 4: to come out after super Bowl fifty eight. So while

503
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:09,440
Speaker 4: the football season may be over, we're already looking ahead

504
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:11,880
Speaker 4: to the next season. But again, we'll wrap up this

505
00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 4: episode with some prop bets in our super Bowl picks

506
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 4: next year on I Want Your Flex, all right, prediction time.

507
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:20,400
Speaker 1: Not that anybody make care, guys.

508
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:22,000
Speaker 4: I don't know if anybody's actually going to go to

509
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 4: the betting window with my pick. Maybe yours, but I

510
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:27,119
Speaker 4: don't know they're going to go with mine. We are

511
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:29,480
Speaker 4: going to make our predictions. We start with Mike Harman

512
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 4: at Swollen Dome. Mike, how do you think it plays

513
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 4: out in Super Bowl fifty eight?

514
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 5: Now, as we record, Dan and Ryan, I still see

515
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:40,600
Speaker 5: it as a two point line. So after some early

516
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 5: movement as we record, still sitting there forty seven and

517
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:47,119
Speaker 5: a half to total, I am going to go against

518
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:47,679
Speaker 5: the grain.

519
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:49,240
Speaker 3: And maybe it's tit watching.

520
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:49,639
Speaker 1: I don't know.

521
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:54,680
Speaker 5: Twenty seven twenty four, San Francisco gets over the hump

522
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 5: and sends Mahomes and company back to the drawing board.

523
00:25:57,720 --> 00:25:59,440
Speaker 1: Do you have an MVP.

524
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 3: For me?

525
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:05,440
Speaker 5: If it's going to happen, I'm looking at Bosha as

526
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 5: the MVP. I know, I know it won't be rested

527
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:10,600
Speaker 5: away from the quarterback. I'm a realist, but I'm gonna

528
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:13,359
Speaker 5: take Nick Bosa to make a player two. That turned

529
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:14,200
Speaker 5: the tides.

530
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:20,399
Speaker 6: All right, Ryan Berschinger, I am picking the Chiefs. I've

531
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 6: going into the championship game. I picked against the against Mahomes,

532
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 6: and I just don't feel right doing that, like ever again.

533
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:35,800
Speaker 5: So that seems to be a consensus. It's kind of

534
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:37,520
Speaker 5: analysis here, right, the.

535
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:39,560
Speaker 4: Only analysis that I've heard from people who pick the

536
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 4: Chiefs like I can't pick against Mahomes.

537
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:45,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, everything else says forty nine ers, but yeah.

538
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, it really it's and I know that there

539
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:53,720
Speaker 6: are plenty of factors that could easily mean that the

540
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 6: because I did also start to see two and a

541
00:26:56,359 --> 00:27:00,240
Speaker 6: half for the Niners today, so I know that it

542
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:01,159
Speaker 6: it is trending in the.

543
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:03,679
Speaker 3: It's pushing back out then yeah, okay.

544
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:09,120
Speaker 6: So but no, I am I thirty one twenty four chiefs.

545
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:14,920
Speaker 6: I think that Mahomes and Kelsey in a big game

546
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:18,120
Speaker 6: time and time again proves to be a winning formula.

547
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:22,199
Speaker 6: And I know that that feels simplistic to say, but

548
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 6: quite frankly, it's.

549
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:28,119
Speaker 5: It's they're not wrong. You've seen it. There's enough data

550
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 5: points to support it.

551
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:35,080
Speaker 6: And like for MVP, if that happens, then you know,

552
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 6: obviously like Mahomes wins MVP. But let's let's go off

553
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:38,480
Speaker 6: the board.

554
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:40,480
Speaker 1: Joe Tony.

555
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 3: Willis Reid like returned to the to the field.

556
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 6: To get wild. He had the big hero moment at

557
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:55,679
Speaker 6: the end of the AFC Championship game and maybe maybe

558
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 6: this is truly everything coming full circle and he becomes

559
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:03,040
Speaker 6: a full edged hero, and that is Markus Valdez scantling.

560
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:05,960
Speaker 1: Wow, look at you, MVP have.

561
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:09,440
Speaker 6: Over one hundred yards and two touchdowns for MBS. Of course,

562
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:13,879
Speaker 6: if that happens, Mahomes will be MVP. But you know,

563
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 6: if we if we want to get really outside of

564
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 6: the box here and throw a dart and and try

565
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 6: to try to win something big MVS for MVP.

566
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:25,960
Speaker 5: Hey, Dan, you know that Ryan just placed that parlay

567
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:31,919
Speaker 5: mahomes two plus touchdowns and MBS. That parlay is in

568
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:32,479
Speaker 5: play now.

569
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:36,840
Speaker 4: All right, so We've got one chief, one niner, and

570
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:39,360
Speaker 4: so I'm going to break the tye here. I think

571
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 4: the final score is going to be thirty four to

572
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 4: twenty seven. It's funny, we've talked about this game for

573
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:46,480
Speaker 4: the last week and a half. I did not think

574
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:49,760
Speaker 4: of our prediction until somebody asked me today in one

575
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:51,960
Speaker 4: of the affiliate calls when I was talking to to

576
00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:55,320
Speaker 4: Fargo North North Dakota talking to Andy and Sam there,

577
00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:58,080
Speaker 4: and it just came out.

578
00:28:58,120 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 1: What it is.

579
00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:00,480
Speaker 4: I think the forty nine ers do win, and I

580
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:02,960
Speaker 4: think the forty nine ers cover. I had thirty four

581
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:06,880
Speaker 4: to twenty seven Christian McCaffrey being my most valuable player.

582
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 3: Boom, there you go.

583
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 1: I think you could see a hat trick of touchdowns

584
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:10,160
Speaker 1: for him.

585
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:13,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, but that's not going out on a limit all

586
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 4: So that was a really boring bi.

587
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:19,240
Speaker 5: No, No, it is though, but because the well, but

588
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:22,640
Speaker 5: what it does, though, Dan is it establishes the bigger

589
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 5: piece of it of you know, can they get off

590
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:30,600
Speaker 5: the jump early with the run game to make things flow?

591
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:33,000
Speaker 3: And that only happens if McCaffrey's having a big day.

592
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 1: So I think I think there could be a two

593
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:39,240
Speaker 1: or three touchdowns in his future. We shall see.

594
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:41,000
Speaker 4: I think the Chiefs again will try to do a

595
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 4: little bit what they do with the Ravens and actually

596
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:45,120
Speaker 4: try to keep the Niners offense off the field. We'll

597
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:47,880
Speaker 4: see how well that works coming up in Super Bowl

598
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:49,880
Speaker 4: fifty eight. All right, a couple of prop bets to

599
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:53,240
Speaker 4: wrap this up, all right, coin toss you guys, Tails

600
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:56,000
Speaker 4: never fails where you're going on the coin toss ahead?

601
00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:58,400
Speaker 6: Oh, I will go tails.

602
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:00,520
Speaker 1: All right, I am a tails guy. Well.

603
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:04,160
Speaker 4: Length of the National Anthem sung by Reba McIntyre, and

604
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:07,080
Speaker 4: we've already heard that she's been trying it out and

605
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:09,400
Speaker 4: people have been trying to record, trying to listen to

606
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:12,640
Speaker 4: the stadium. Eighty seven and a half seconds the over

607
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 4: under burst. You get the first ones on this one.

608
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:17,719
Speaker 6: Dang that keeps going down because I was like ninety

609
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 6: and a half, like a day or two ago. That's uh, man,

610
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:24,120
Speaker 6: I think it'd be really funny if she busts out

611
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:27,080
Speaker 6: like a forty five second, just just slapped through.

612
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:27,600
Speaker 3: The national.

613
00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:34,280
Speaker 6: I will go over, I will go over. I think

614
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:37,680
Speaker 6: sometimes the I mean, you know that with the nerves

615
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:40,479
Speaker 6: kicking in, sometimes people go quicker because of the nerves.

616
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 6: But I think I think RIBA's a very confident woman,

617
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:45,200
Speaker 6: and she's going to stand there and just really lean

618
00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:47,440
Speaker 6: into it. So let's go over that eighty six and

619
00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:47,760
Speaker 6: a half.

620
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 5: I like that people were trying to contact her on

621
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:53,280
Speaker 5: social media, not only hey, I love you on your

622
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 5: your shows or whatever else, but you know, for a friend,

623
00:30:56,160 --> 00:31:00,960
Speaker 5: I've been rehearsing for a local local in a rendition

624
00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:01,920
Speaker 5: that I'm going to do.

625
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:05,480
Speaker 3: Would you say you want to do it longer? For sure?

626
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:09,840
Speaker 5: I'll take the under on this one that that she

627
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:12,360
Speaker 5: cuts it off with an abrupt note at the end

628
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:13,960
Speaker 5: instead of holding it like so many do.

629
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:15,760
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take the under as well.

630
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:19,120
Speaker 4: So I'm gonna go with with with Michael piggyback off

631
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:22,040
Speaker 4: of that, I will say this in that one clip,

632
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:24,280
Speaker 4: do you remember the guy saying it like the horse

633
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:27,520
Speaker 4: race and he kept on just saying like and the

634
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:32,160
Speaker 4: you know, and the ramparts were there, like it goes

635
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:35,440
Speaker 4: along if you add lines, you could always forget a line,

636
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 4: which would make it really short. So I'm gonna go

637
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:42,360
Speaker 4: with the under on that one, all right, Jersey, number

638
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:49,320
Speaker 4: of first TD scorer odd or even a lot of

639
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:52,719
Speaker 4: odd numbers on the niners. Are you Kittle, McCaffrey all odd?

640
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:56,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll go even, and your bays off, Dan.

641
00:31:57,280 --> 00:32:00,560
Speaker 6: I will take odd. I believe what MBS is eleven.

642
00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:06,240
Speaker 6: I'm baking on there, Kelsey with at eighty seven.

643
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:08,240
Speaker 4: So I'll go with the with the odd as well.

644
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 4: All right, you have Bosa as your MVP. Nick Bosa.

645
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 4: Total quarterback sacks for both teams over under four and

646
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:16,680
Speaker 4: a half.

647
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:23,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say over on that one for Mike and half.

648
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:26,160
Speaker 5: Now I got the game script running through my head.

649
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:30,640
Speaker 5: I'll take the over because you know, a one yard

650
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:33,760
Speaker 5: loss counts as a sack, so I get I think

651
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:34,160
Speaker 5: we get it.

652
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:36,960
Speaker 3: By the technicality, we're all on the over.

653
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:39,120
Speaker 1: I agree with that, all right?

654
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 4: And do we do we want to do Gatorade bath?

655
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 4: Are there anyones that you guys like.

656
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 5: There was a lot of movement right on what was

657
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:47,600
Speaker 5: it earlier in the week. Was it orange that was

658
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:48,840
Speaker 5: making a big surge?

659
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 1: I said orange the other day, So I'm gonna stick

660
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:55,520
Speaker 1: with that. I like that. You always think like they're

661
00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:58,360
Speaker 1: gonna have red, but who has fruit punch right.

662
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:00,120
Speaker 2: Here?

663
00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:04,880
Speaker 6: I also like orange, and I go back to what TJ.

664
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:07,240
Speaker 6: Houchmanzadas said a couple of years agoing up on game,

665
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:10,600
Speaker 6: where he said that whenever you dump gatorade, you go

666
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:13,120
Speaker 6: with the tub that's the most full, because you want

667
00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:19,000
Speaker 6: to drench them the most. And nobody likes orange, so

668
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:23,400
Speaker 6: they gravitate two orange. And I like that the more

669
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:25,760
Speaker 6: full one, and so I believe it was orange last year.

670
00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:28,800
Speaker 6: So yeah, that's uh, well.

671
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:31,840
Speaker 5: The odds I was looking at here, orange is the favorite,

672
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:35,160
Speaker 5: and then you got purple, yellow, and green all at

673
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:40,920
Speaker 5: the next level of odds. Out of my stupid Northwestern loyalty,

674
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:43,360
Speaker 5: I'll go purple. I'll go a little bit crazy here.

675
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:45,760
Speaker 4: That's a perfect way to end it, all, right, guys,

676
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:48,360
Speaker 4: enjoy the game on Sunday, and then the next time

677
00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:51,240
Speaker 4: we get together, we'll be looking ahead to the twenty

678
00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:55,320
Speaker 4: twenty four fantasy football season, plus probably with some thoughts

679
00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:57,160
Speaker 4: from Super Bowl fifty eight enjoy the game.

680
00:33:57,160 --> 00:34:00,800
