Peyton, I want to start with you. 9 00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:47,240 Speaker 1: Was it the success of Soup with Coope that led 10 00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:49,680 Speaker 1: you to believe this broadcasting thing would work for you 11 00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:55,080 Speaker 1: without a doubt? That just solidified everything that I thought. 12 00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:00,640 Speaker 1: If you can have a show involving soup, hey, that 13 00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:03,600 Speaker 1: just tells you there's there's a future there. And you 14 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:06,080 Speaker 1: have my brother, I mean, I have all these people 15 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:08,160 Speaker 1: that text me, Hey, I'm doing Soup with Coup and 16 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:10,959 Speaker 1: I'm like, like, why are you telling me? Like what 17 00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,520 Speaker 1: do you think? Are you apologizing to me? Are you 18 00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:17,720 Speaker 1: congratulates you? I'm not sure what that means. I mean, 19 00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:19,640 Speaker 1: Eli and I haven't even been asked to be on 20 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:23,560 Speaker 1: SUP with Coup, Like I don't right, Yeah, I mean, 21 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:24,800 Speaker 1: what do you have to do to get it in 22 00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:27,800 Speaker 1: by it, Eli, I guess he knows I don't really 23 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:34,039 Speaker 1: like soup that much. Yeah, you have bad supistory. Yeah, 24 00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:37,120 Speaker 1: it's interesting because Peyton I always it was very obvious 25 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:39,640 Speaker 1: you did a lot of commercials. You were funny. Everybody 26 00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:41,520 Speaker 1: knew that, and that you had a lot of options. 27 00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:46,400 Speaker 1: Eli is the Derek Jeter of New York football. He 28 00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:49,880 Speaker 1: now he's suddenly Chris Rock. We had no idea until 29 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 1: he retired. He's the funniest guy in the world. So 30 00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:56,000 Speaker 1: give me a backstory. I didn't think of Eli as 31 00:01:56,120 --> 00:02:00,400 Speaker 1: broadcast guy. I thought of you as broadcast guy. Are 32 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:03,080 Speaker 1: you a little surprised that Eli is now doing a 33 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 1: stand up at the Sheboygan on weekends. He's like, mister 34 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,240 Speaker 1: funny guy. Suddenly it's free. It's free to get in 35 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 1: to see Eli I do comedy. You don't have to 36 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,639 Speaker 1: pay anything. Actually, they pay you to come in and listen. 37 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,639 Speaker 1: You know. I think I think Eli and I will 38 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:20,519 Speaker 1: probably both tell you that what we're doing, Colin, I'm 39 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 1: not sure what it is. I'm not sure what to 40 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:28,240 Speaker 1: call it, but it's not it's not your typical broadcast um. 41 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:32,640 Speaker 1: You know, critique if you will. It's at least in 42 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 1: my mind. Maybe I'm just lying to myself, but I 43 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 1: kind of see it as just two brothers watching an 44 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,680 Speaker 1: NFL game at a bar, and the viewer is watching 45 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,680 Speaker 1: it with us, and we're watching it as a fan, right. 46 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,080 Speaker 1: I mean you may use the word ambassador, but really 47 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 1: as a fan. I mean, I love watching football. I 48 00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,000 Speaker 1: mean since I stopped playing, everybody said, how, You're not 49 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 1: gonna want to watch football, You're gonna miss it too much. 50 00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,360 Speaker 1: Not true. I got to do it for a long time. 51 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:00,400 Speaker 1: I love the fact that I got to play, and 52 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 1: now I'm a fan. I like watching Mahomes play, just 53 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 1: like I used to like watching Brett Farr play. I 54 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,399 Speaker 1: like watching Josh Allen play. So I think the fact 55 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:09,920 Speaker 1: that I get to watch a Monday night game with 56 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 1: my brother that I haven't done since nineteen ninety three. 57 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:17,240 Speaker 1: You know, Eli never flew to Indianapolis from Monday night 58 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:21,200 Speaker 1: dinner in two thousand and seven, and so that's cool. 59 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 1: And we get to maybe take the viewer behind the 60 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,440 Speaker 1: ropes a little bit on what the coordinator is saying 61 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:31,800 Speaker 1: to the quarterback in his helmets, and I'll call the 62 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 1: play to Eli and then Eli will repeat that to 63 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 1: the huddle, right, take people behind the ropes on what 64 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 1: that sounds like. What's the quarterbacks coach saying to the 65 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:42,520 Speaker 1: quarterback when they're looking at those pictures, those tablets on 66 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 1: the sideline. Eli and I can give you those conversations. 67 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 1: But the second and one running play Colin that nobody 68 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 1: cares about, We're not going to diagram that. We're gonna 69 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 1: be having a conversation with Charles Barkley on that play 70 00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 1: about why he didn't play football. Was he scared to 71 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 1: get hit? You know? I mean, how do you change basketball? 72 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 1: So it's a conversational, it's more casual. But last thing 73 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:11,280 Speaker 1: I'll say, I let Eli go. I'm gonna be hard 74 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 1: pressed to say anything negative about a quarterback or a 75 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,920 Speaker 1: lot of players. If you got those an interception, I'm 76 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,840 Speaker 1: probably gonna say, watch this play by this safety, right, 77 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:22,960 Speaker 1: this is an awesome play, you know, because I know 78 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 1: what it was like as a quarterback. I'm not gonna 79 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,560 Speaker 1: say how can you do that? Because I did it? Right? 80 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,680 Speaker 1: I do six interceptions against the Chargers one game, Like, 81 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 1: you know, what right do I have to say how 82 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 1: can you do that? So I know how hard it 83 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:38,000 Speaker 1: is I'm gonna be a quarterback defender, a player defender, 84 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 1: but I think it'd be fun kind of taking a 85 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,159 Speaker 1: different approach. Sorry, Eli, I took up all the time. 86 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 1: What's your answer going to be? Well, that's what I 87 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:47,360 Speaker 1: want to hear. I like the idea. By the way, 88 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 1: this is what I want to hear, Eli, I want 89 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 1: to hear two brothers talking. I'm not looking for al Michaels. 90 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:54,359 Speaker 1: I love him, I love Joe Buck. That's not what 91 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 1: I want. How do you interpret it, Eli? Yeah, I 92 00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,040 Speaker 1: think the same way. I think we can give you 93 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,719 Speaker 1: a you know, I think we'll bill tell fund stories. 94 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 1: I think, well, you know, if if they're playing a game, 95 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,560 Speaker 1: uh and and you know Arrowhead, we you know we've 96 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,279 Speaker 1: played an Arrowhead, we'll have stories about you know, when 97 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:13,720 Speaker 1: we've played there. But also you know, we'll be talking 98 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:15,920 Speaker 1: through some plays. But when there's a great play, when 99 00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:20,359 Speaker 1: a quarterback changes up protection and picks up an overload blitz, 100 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 1: and you know, we can we can tell the fans, hey, 101 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 1: what is you know what he did right there, why 102 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:29,039 Speaker 1: he did that, how he did that, and how that 103 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,799 Speaker 1: was communicated without giving away secrets of what the team 104 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:34,320 Speaker 1: is doing. But just what it's like to play quarterback. 105 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,320 Speaker 1: And when you play quarterback, you don't just know the 106 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 1: quarterback position. You know what the receivers are supposed to do. 107 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:41,360 Speaker 1: You know what the offensive line is supposed to do. 108 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,479 Speaker 1: You know every defense where they're supposed to be lined 109 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:46,640 Speaker 1: up in the in the rules, the coverages. So the 110 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,840 Speaker 1: quarterback is you got to know what every position, uh, 111 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 1: their responsibilities, and so we can break that down. Um. 112 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 1: You know, when there's really cool plays and in the 113 00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:59,600 Speaker 1: design of a play, in the design of a defense, um, 114 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,919 Speaker 1: in we can just kind of give an inside look 115 00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 1: at some of those details and have the ability to 116 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:09,680 Speaker 1: break those downs on why a play was successful, um 117 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,599 Speaker 1: from a defensive standpoint and an offensive standpoint. So I 118 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 1: think it's just a more casual way to watch the game. 119 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 1: I remember we were doing a couple of breakdowns and 120 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 1: you know, we're watching, um, you know, watching the Vikings play, 121 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 1: and I'm saying, hey, watch kindricks right here. How he 122 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,839 Speaker 1: does this great job of of of kind of you 123 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 1: know bait the line in the think he's not blitzing. 124 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 1: He blitzes. And they're saying, well, hey, it's actually better 125 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,280 Speaker 1: if you say the number like all the fans might 126 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:36,600 Speaker 1: not know who Kindreds is. So you know, you don't 127 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:38,799 Speaker 1: have to know every number, just say number fifty four. 128 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,720 Speaker 1: That's that's better for us because the fans, you know 129 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 1: that they that they'll be able to understand what you're 130 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,359 Speaker 1: doing and how you're breaking down that film. And so 131 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, that's even better. I don't have to 132 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:51,840 Speaker 1: know every single player Uh's name that's playing. We can 133 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 1: we can say numbers and so just you know, it's 134 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,960 Speaker 1: just more of a fan kind of watching a game 135 00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 1: that wants to know a little bit more, what's what's 136 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 1: going on. We can we can dive into that. You know. 137 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:05,720 Speaker 1: It's what's really fascinating about your family. And I said 138 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:07,359 Speaker 1: this two days ago on the air. I said, like, 139 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:12,280 Speaker 1: it's it's really it's an American football royalty that each 140 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:16,160 Speaker 1: of you, your father, Eli and Peyton, you all have 141 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 1: different styles. So I'm mid fifties. I watched your dad 142 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:23,000 Speaker 1: on those Terrible Saints teams. I remember him well. He 143 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,480 Speaker 1: was a mover. He was mobile, you know, he and 144 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:29,880 Speaker 1: Tarkenton moved most guys didn't. Then it was Starbak was 145 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:34,640 Speaker 1: the next guy to move. Most guys didn't. And then Eli. 146 00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 1: When I look at you and Peyton, your your traditional 147 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:42,040 Speaker 1: pocket quarterbacks, but I view you differently. The first time 148 00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 1: Elia watched you, it was your second year and I 149 00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:46,880 Speaker 1: talked to Ernie A. Corsey about this once. I was like, 150 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:50,120 Speaker 1: he's so good in the two minute drill like nobody 151 00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 1: and the sec back in those days, Eli, that you 152 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:54,560 Speaker 1: came out of and you two. Peyton was much more 153 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 1: of a run conference. Peyton, did you did you ever 154 00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,480 Speaker 1: watch Eli? We'll start with you and do you ever 155 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,920 Speaker 1: watch Eli and go, you know, my little brother he 156 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:09,080 Speaker 1: does something? Did you ever you know? Comics talk show host? 157 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:12,120 Speaker 1: We steal bits and pieces right from people that were like, oh, 158 00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:15,240 Speaker 1: his teasing is good, his storytelling is good. Peyton was 159 00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 1: every time that you watched the eltin and went, you know, 160 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 1: my little brother, he's pretty good. That like, what did 161 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:25,000 Speaker 1: you admire about his game? Yeah? It was funny. College. 162 00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:29,000 Speaker 1: I go to college at Tennessee. Right, I'm a freshman. 163 00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 1: Elis a freshman in high school, right, eight five years younger, right, 164 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:37,040 Speaker 1: eighth grader. I'm coming back. I'm coming back once a 165 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:41,439 Speaker 1: year to New Orleans, right on a bye week, maybe 166 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:43,960 Speaker 1: once in the summer. So I'm seeing Eli you know, 167 00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:47,520 Speaker 1: twice a year every time I see him. He's getting 168 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:51,680 Speaker 1: a little taller, he's growing. He's still not saying much. 169 00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,600 Speaker 1: I mean, he's still very quiet. I'm not saying he's 170 00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,319 Speaker 1: speaking a lot, but he's I just see a different 171 00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:59,640 Speaker 1: kid each time I see him. Right all four years 172 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,560 Speaker 1: and high school, I'm playing for the Colts. Now he's 173 00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:04,679 Speaker 1: an old miss. I'm seeing him once a year, and 174 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,760 Speaker 1: each year, I just see this development. And so I 175 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,600 Speaker 1: kind of got to witness that right before my eyes, 176 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:14,760 Speaker 1: that he's a he's a different kind of quarterback because 177 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:17,720 Speaker 1: of how calm and cool and collected he is. I 178 00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,720 Speaker 1: was I was telling, uh, Colin before the show Eli 179 00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:23,240 Speaker 1: that Cooper and I used to, you know, try to 180 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:26,839 Speaker 1: compete over who could make you cry first as a 181 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:28,880 Speaker 1: when you were like a three year old, and like 182 00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:31,559 Speaker 1: we couldn't do it, and we were trying everything, pulling 183 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:33,880 Speaker 1: out all the all the stops, and I think that 184 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:37,560 Speaker 1: just kind of served him well. Colin, that just nothing 185 00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,400 Speaker 1: bothered him. It didn't rattle him. He couldn't get rattled. 186 00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:43,480 Speaker 1: And got what a great characteristic and a trait to 187 00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:47,120 Speaker 1: have as a quarterback, especially when you're playing against the 188 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:50,160 Speaker 1: giant for the Giants in New York and especially in 189 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:54,040 Speaker 1: a two minute drill. So I did kind of have 190 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 1: a sense early on that that Elihu was unique and 191 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:01,920 Speaker 1: had some special traits, and it was just fun to 192 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:05,559 Speaker 1: kind of witness that growth in kind of one year installments. 193 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:09,480 Speaker 1: You know, Eli, you are in the shadow of what 194 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,120 Speaker 1: many believe Peyton Manning is one of the great football 195 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:16,800 Speaker 1: prodigies of my life. In fact, I think, Eli, you're Peyton. 196 00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:19,439 Speaker 1: You're the only quarterback that was number one high school, 197 00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:22,640 Speaker 1: number one college, number one pick and ended up being great. 198 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:26,559 Speaker 1: Like most of the time it's overlooked, you know, Aaron 199 00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:29,960 Speaker 1: Rodgers junior college, Big Ben Miami of Ohio, Like you're 200 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 1: at number one, number one, number one legend, that's it. 201 00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:36,920 Speaker 1: And Eli, you grew up in a little bit of 202 00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:40,199 Speaker 1: the shadow of that. And yet I can honestly say this, 203 00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 1: there's never been animosity like you're You're so good around 204 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,280 Speaker 1: each other, right, I've seen images of you watching each 205 00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:51,480 Speaker 1: other play. What do you think, Eli, go to a 206 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:56,839 Speaker 1: moment of being Peyton's brother where you realized, oh my god, 207 00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,840 Speaker 1: my big brothers, this is a big thing. Like he's 208 00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:04,040 Speaker 1: not Peyton, he's Peyton. Like the first moment you knew, Okay, 209 00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,640 Speaker 1: my brother's like it's not just a brother thing, like 210 00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:11,199 Speaker 1: he can't be in public. Yeah, I mean, it was 211 00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:15,480 Speaker 1: probably it was probably when he was at Tennessee his 212 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,839 Speaker 1: senior year at Tennessee, kind of summer going into that. 213 00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:21,880 Speaker 1: I was in I was in high school and I 214 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:24,319 Speaker 1: went up to stay with them that summer for a week, 215 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,959 Speaker 1: and I was gonna workout with them, you know, in 216 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,199 Speaker 1: the weight room and just go throw with them with 217 00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:32,240 Speaker 1: his receivers there, and it was that was kind of 218 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:36,560 Speaker 1: the first time that I saw like his work ethic 219 00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:40,160 Speaker 1: in person, I think, And that was like it just 220 00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,360 Speaker 1: you know, I'm you know, I'm in high school. I'm 221 00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:44,520 Speaker 1: a you know, a sophomore in high school, and I'm 222 00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:47,760 Speaker 1: just kind of enjoying playing all the sports. And I 223 00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:49,400 Speaker 1: just saw I kind of said, I want to know 224 00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:51,640 Speaker 1: what your normal week is and what that looks like 225 00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:54,680 Speaker 1: in college. And I don't think what he was doing 226 00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:58,439 Speaker 1: in college was what other normal college quarterbacks was doing. 227 00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:00,480 Speaker 1: Just the amount of film study, what he did in 228 00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:02,640 Speaker 1: the work out, how he can you know, kind of 229 00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 1: just commanded his offensive group and his receivers and had 230 00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:09,839 Speaker 1: them out on the fields. How he conducted those seven 231 00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:13,439 Speaker 1: on seven drills and the one on ones, and it 232 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:16,120 Speaker 1: was just, um, you know, it was just such a 233 00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:19,920 Speaker 1: learning thing for me to see him in action and 234 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:22,839 Speaker 1: then also to see him how he conducted himself kind 235 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:26,640 Speaker 1: of going to dinner and around a college campus where 236 00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:30,160 Speaker 1: he was, you know, kind of the god there and 237 00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 1: this everybody looked up to him and wanted to be 238 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:35,040 Speaker 1: around him, and so, um, I think that was the 239 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:37,520 Speaker 1: first time and it was just kind of a wow, 240 00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:41,640 Speaker 1: my brother's pretty pretty freaking awesome, Like this guy's got it, 241 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:45,520 Speaker 1: you know, and not only see you know, it knows 242 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:48,320 Speaker 1: exactly what he wants to do. Uh, he wants to 243 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,440 Speaker 1: be great. And it's not about how he talks about 244 00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,120 Speaker 1: being great. It's how he works at being great. And 245 00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:56,280 Speaker 1: then it's how he treats people and how he handles 246 00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:59,200 Speaker 1: it the limelight and doing all that. And it was 247 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:03,080 Speaker 1: just kind of hoping your eyes to, uh, to kind 248 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:05,760 Speaker 1: of the mindset and the work ethod that was gonna 249 00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:08,640 Speaker 1: take if I wanted to have some sort of of 250 00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:12,440 Speaker 1: that same success and and he's just always been able 251 00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:15,320 Speaker 1: to take it to a higher level at every you know, 252 00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,040 Speaker 1: when you think you're working hard all of a sudden, 253 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:20,920 Speaker 1: you know, you I kind of wonder what Peyton's doing, 254 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:24,000 Speaker 1: and I know he's doing something more, whether he's watching 255 00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:26,679 Speaker 1: more film, whether he has more code words, or you know, 256 00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:28,160 Speaker 1: and then you see him in the NFL, and all 257 00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:30,920 Speaker 1: of a sudden, he's you know, change the changing the 258 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:32,880 Speaker 1: game of the NFL and going to a no huddle 259 00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:36,080 Speaker 1: offense and he's basically the offensive coordinator on the field, 260 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:38,240 Speaker 1: and it's like, how do you how do you keep 261 00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:40,760 Speaker 1: competing with this?

You have remarkable parents because 301 00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:56,640 Speaker 1: there's two things you guys do that is real for 302 00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:59,760 Speaker 1: anybody listening to this podcast. I have six kids between 303 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:03,320 Speaker 1: my two biological I'm divorced and I have four um 304 00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:07,960 Speaker 1: I inherited for with my wife. And the two things 305 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,760 Speaker 1: I try to you know, tell our kids be humble. 306 00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:15,359 Speaker 1: We're luckier than most. You guys are so humble considering 307 00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:17,880 Speaker 1: your dad's famous, and you've been You've done very well. 308 00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:20,960 Speaker 1: The second thing I love about you guys is that 309 00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:26,040 Speaker 1: I'm I fascinated that Peyton now lives in Colorado and you. 310 00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,960 Speaker 1: I can't get over this and that you, Eli, are 311 00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:32,200 Speaker 1: like a New York, New Jersey guy. And the reason 312 00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:34,360 Speaker 1: I say that is because the South can be its 313 00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:36,760 Speaker 1: own culture. It's got its own feel and food and 314 00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:39,480 Speaker 1: and and it's it really is all my Southern friends 315 00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:41,520 Speaker 1: like they could never leave the South. And you got 316 00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:45,840 Speaker 1: Peyton's a Westy and you're a Northeast guy, and it's like, 317 00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:49,040 Speaker 1: okay that that goes back to parenting. There is something 318 00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:56,000 Speaker 1: that you guys are comfortable in different environments, and Peyton 319 00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:58,600 Speaker 1: speak to that. It's not this is not typical, like 320 00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:02,240 Speaker 1: you live in Colorado. I can't get over that well. 321 00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:06,280 Speaker 1: And I can't get over the fact that Eli uses 322 00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:08,880 Speaker 1: a season as a verb when he tells me he's 323 00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:13,240 Speaker 1: summering in the Hamptons. I'm like, who are you? Used 324 00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:16,240 Speaker 1: to be a Southern kid from New Orleans and now 325 00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:19,800 Speaker 1: you're summering the Hens. Don't talk to me over again, 326 00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:23,479 Speaker 1: you know. I think it speaks to both of us, 327 00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:27,560 Speaker 1: like how connected we were with the teams we were 328 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:29,320 Speaker 1: playing for. I mean that's kind of what Eli I said. 329 00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:31,159 Speaker 1: I remember talking to him last year. He's like, I 330 00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:34,399 Speaker 1: played here seventeen years. All my friends are here. I 331 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:36,879 Speaker 1: love New York. I love the people. I'm gonna live here. 332 00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:39,439 Speaker 1: I'm not just gonna move somewhere else. And I always 333 00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:41,520 Speaker 1: thought I would have lived in Indianapolis columns where I 334 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:44,600 Speaker 1: was drafted to where I lived year round. And then 335 00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:46,399 Speaker 1: you know, you get hurt and you get injured, and 336 00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:48,840 Speaker 1: you got to go find somewhere else to play. And 337 00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:51,200 Speaker 1: then you know, kids says you mentioned kind of coming 338 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,520 Speaker 1: to play Ashun. I had kids as we got here 339 00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:56,680 Speaker 1: to Denver. They're in school, moving to a pain in 340 00:17:56,720 --> 00:18:00,320 Speaker 1: the butt. And Denver is a great city. And I 341 00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:02,200 Speaker 1: have a connection here because I got to play for 342 00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:06,000 Speaker 1: the Broncos and so it's powerful that connection that football 343 00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:12,520 Speaker 1: can provide someone with that city, and it's just it 344 00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:14,240 Speaker 1: just seems like the right place for me to be. 345 00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:17,639 Speaker 1: And I do feel far away sometimes from Eli, and 346 00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:20,480 Speaker 1: we probably don't see each other as much anymore with 347 00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:26,320 Speaker 1: the New York to Denver connection. But obviously that's why 348 00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:27,840 Speaker 1: we were doing this Monday night thing so we can 349 00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:31,679 Speaker 1: be together every for ten mondays of fall. You know, 350 00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:34,159 Speaker 1: it's just it's gonna be a hit. Eli, take me. 351 00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:36,160 Speaker 1: I'm a West Coast guy that moved to the northeast, 352 00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:38,159 Speaker 1: lived in Connecticut ten years and I can remember when 353 00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,040 Speaker 1: I fell in love with it, and it was the 354 00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:42,480 Speaker 1: Fall and it was a Yankee Red Sox series and 355 00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:45,119 Speaker 1: I was at a game and I remember, as a 356 00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:47,280 Speaker 1: kid that grew up on the coast to Washington, thinking 357 00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:50,360 Speaker 1: I would have never experienced this. I had no idea 358 00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:54,440 Speaker 1: this existed, driving over the tappan Zee, you know, you go, 359 00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:56,760 Speaker 1: You're in Brooklyn, and I remember just sitting at Yankee 360 00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:59,359 Speaker 1: Stadium thinking, God, my life, this is I'm in the 361 00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:02,720 Speaker 1: center of the world and it was a cool thing. 362 00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:06,119 Speaker 1: Eli take me to the your first recollection of New 363 00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:09,640 Speaker 1: York where you were like, I like it. I'm okay here, 364 00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:12,720 Speaker 1: Like I like it. You know, I think that, yeah, 365 00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:17,040 Speaker 1: that thing, that's my my my rookie year. Um, you know, 366 00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:19,760 Speaker 1: actually it's probably my second year. I think it's probably 367 00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:21,919 Speaker 1: my second year more where I was in there. I'm 368 00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:24,639 Speaker 1: the starting quarterback. You know. You win a game on 369 00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:26,879 Speaker 1: a Sunday and you're and your teammates go out to 370 00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:29,320 Speaker 1: New York City and go to go to eat and 371 00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:32,160 Speaker 1: go kind of get to celebrate, and it's just that's 372 00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:35,159 Speaker 1: when it seemed right. And I think just all the 373 00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:37,280 Speaker 1: different things in New York has to offer. I mean 374 00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:38,840 Speaker 1: the fact that you know, like you said, I've been 375 00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:40,879 Speaker 1: the Yankees games, I've been the Mets games. I've been 376 00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:42,879 Speaker 1: the Nets games. I've been the Knicks games. I've been 377 00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:45,639 Speaker 1: the Rangers games. You know. Uh, shoot, I went to 378 00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:48,120 Speaker 1: a Jets game once and watch Hayton and I guess 379 00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:51,840 Speaker 1: you know, uh, you know. So it's like, you know, 380 00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:54,480 Speaker 1: you know, you have all these sports. You have, you 381 00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:56,840 Speaker 1: have the food, you have, the music, you have, the theater, 382 00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:59,880 Speaker 1: you have, just the museums. There's just so much action 383 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:03,160 Speaker 1: been going on and it's just, uh, you know, during 384 00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:05,280 Speaker 1: the season, it's you know, it's always hard to get it. 385 00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:07,240 Speaker 1: But that's why we you know, we kind of stayed 386 00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:10,080 Speaker 1: here in the all season, um a bunch and in 387 00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:12,680 Speaker 1: in January and February, not a whole lot's going on. 388 00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:14,840 Speaker 1: You say, hey, we can kind of this is our 389 00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:16,720 Speaker 1: time where we can you know, kind of get to 390 00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:18,720 Speaker 1: know New York City a little bit, and my wife 391 00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:21,680 Speaker 1: and I are kids and get them, uh to kind 392 00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:23,480 Speaker 1: of know all the things that it has to offer. 393 00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:26,480 Speaker 1: Why it is the greatest city in the world. Let's, um, 394 00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:28,119 Speaker 1: you know, let's take part of it. We live in 395 00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:30,400 Speaker 1: New Jersey, but I think that's why we stayed up here. 396 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:33,159 Speaker 1: I think there's still aspects of the city. And I 397 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:35,160 Speaker 1: know right now it's kind of a weird time with 398 00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:39,199 Speaker 1: everything going on, um, but there's still so much you know, 399 00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:42,080 Speaker 1: of New York and of New Jersey and the Northeast, 400 00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:44,639 Speaker 1: and we kind of I didn't get to experience because 401 00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:47,760 Speaker 1: I was playing and and and and just didn't have 402 00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:50,080 Speaker 1: the time that we still you know, want to make 403 00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:53,200 Speaker 1: this home to to you know, uh take all those 404 00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:56,040 Speaker 1: things in. So it's just such a wonderful place. And uh, 405 00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,320 Speaker 1: I think, I think, I think you're I think you're 406 00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:01,840 Speaker 1: selling yourself short town. I remember when Eli told me, uh, 407 00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:03,440 Speaker 1: he said, guess what I did last night? I said, 408 00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:05,520 Speaker 1: what said? He said? I was at Rayo's and I 409 00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:10,320 Speaker 1: sang New York, New York with Yogi Barrel. I'm like, okay, 410 00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:13,440 Speaker 1: you got me there. Okay. I went to Saint Almos 411 00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:17,480 Speaker 1: in Indianapolis. I had the shript cocktail. You win that battle. 412 00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:20,560 Speaker 1: So I think that was that was that was that 413 00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:22,879 Speaker 1: was after. That was after our first Super Bowl, and 414 00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:25,439 Speaker 1: I was feeling really good about myself and you know, 415 00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:27,920 Speaker 1: like I had the world figured out and I was 416 00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:30,400 Speaker 1: the greatest player and the greatest New Yorker of all time. 417 00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:33,199 Speaker 1: And I asked Yogi how many championships he won? And 418 00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:36,679 Speaker 1: he said nine? He said nine? Said, all right, I 419 00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:40,320 Speaker 1: got a lot of I thought work to do. Speedy kid, 420 00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:43,160 Speaker 1: no autograph, Yeah, get out of here. It's your most 421 00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:46,040 Speaker 1: successful coach. Dungee's. I know Tony because I covered him 422 00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:48,480 Speaker 1: in Tampa. He's he really gave you the offense as 423 00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:51,480 Speaker 1: he should. You had Coughlin, who went from angry Tom 424 00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:55,760 Speaker 1: to more laconic Tom. He changed. It is interesting, is 425 00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:58,840 Speaker 1: that was Tony the perfect coach for your personality? Peyton? 426 00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:03,879 Speaker 1: And I wonder was Tom in retrospect, You're like intense 427 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:07,439 Speaker 1: tom Eli may have been perfect for you, whereas Peyton, 428 00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:10,760 Speaker 1: you're so intense. Tony may have been perfect for you. 429 00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:16,960 Speaker 1: He was. He kept me calm. I remember our first meeting, 430 00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:18,760 Speaker 1: you know, he told me, he said, Peyton, I love 431 00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:21,360 Speaker 1: how aggressive you are. I love some of these throws 432 00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:23,920 Speaker 1: you make, but you throw too many interceptions. And I'm 433 00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:26,760 Speaker 1: telling you, if you keep it up, we're not gonna 434 00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:30,359 Speaker 1: win games. And defenses are counting on you being impatient, 435 00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:33,680 Speaker 1: getting frustrated, and you're gonna throw him one late in 436 00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:35,760 Speaker 1: the game, it's gonna cost us the game. So kind 437 00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:38,920 Speaker 1: of right off the bat. I mean, he's so direct 438 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:42,440 Speaker 1: and to the point, but in this calm, nice manner, right, 439 00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:45,320 Speaker 1: I mean, he's not, you know, pointing his finger at 440 00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:48,200 Speaker 1: me and yelling at me. He's just as calm as 441 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:51,240 Speaker 1: he always was. Tony Dungee was as calm in the 442 00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:53,200 Speaker 1: fourth quarter of Super Bowl as he was out there 443 00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:55,560 Speaker 1: at practice every day. And that's why you loved him, 444 00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:57,640 Speaker 1: because when your leader's calm, it's easier for the people 445 00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:01,119 Speaker 1: following that leader to be calm as well. What Tony 446 00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:04,280 Speaker 1: really did for me as well, Colin. He's known as 447 00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:07,719 Speaker 1: a defensive guy, but he also was a college quarterback 448 00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:11,840 Speaker 1: at Minnesota, so he saw it from both sides. But 449 00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:15,520 Speaker 1: he took me into the defense's mind and he told me, Peyton, 450 00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:18,200 Speaker 1: this is what the defense is being taught to do. 451 00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:20,760 Speaker 1: This is what this safety, this is what his coach 452 00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:22,800 Speaker 1: is telling him to do. These are the rules of 453 00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:27,520 Speaker 1: the defense. So these are the holes in those rules. 454 00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:30,280 Speaker 1: So the plays that you want to call need to 455 00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:33,120 Speaker 1: be these kind of plays to take advantage. And I've 456 00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:36,520 Speaker 1: never been taught that side of it before. My message 457 00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:39,800 Speaker 1: to young quarterbacks is go spend time with the defensive 458 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:43,800 Speaker 1: coordinator on your team, watch some film with him and 459 00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:46,280 Speaker 1: see what he's teaching his players, and then you know 460 00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:50,760 Speaker 1: what they're thinking. And Belichick has done that with Brady 461 00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:53,320 Speaker 1: over the years. I've heard Tom talk about it. You've 462 00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:56,159 Speaker 1: seen him watching film together. So Tony just had that 463 00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:59,480 Speaker 1: great insight for me, and it just took my game 464 00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:01,440 Speaker 1: to a whole new level. As you know, I asked 465 00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:03,840 Speaker 1: John Lynch one time. I said, you must be way 466 00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:07,520 Speaker 1: more comfortable drafting defensive players. He goes, No, I covered 467 00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:10,160 Speaker 1: offensive guys because I've had more success with the Niners 468 00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:15,280 Speaker 1: drafting offensive guys because I know weakness. And you know, Eli, 469 00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:18,879 Speaker 1: you had Tom. You have a very nice dad, a 470 00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:21,800 Speaker 1: very quiet dad. Your college coach David cut Close, a 471 00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:24,639 Speaker 1: southern gentleman, and then you got Tom, who turns purple. 472 00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:28,960 Speaker 1: Was there? Take me to the first purple moment with Coughlin, 473 00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:32,760 Speaker 1: Eli and your reaction. I mean Tom literally looked like 474 00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:36,160 Speaker 1: a plum when he would get mad. Give me take 475 00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:38,080 Speaker 1: me to the first moment in your reaction to him. 476 00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:41,679 Speaker 1: You know, I think I just appreciated coach Kauffin, and 477 00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:44,960 Speaker 1: I always liked tough coaches. Um. And I just think 478 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:46,920 Speaker 1: that's that's just kind of what football is about, is 479 00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:50,600 Speaker 1: the demanding coach and Kauflin. I mean, if you if 480 00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:53,280 Speaker 1: you showed up five minutes early for your meeting, if 481 00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:57,400 Speaker 1: you worked extremely hard and prepared and and you just 482 00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:02,000 Speaker 1: liked and loved football, you know, he was okay. He 483 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:03,840 Speaker 1: didn't get on you. So you know, he saw the 484 00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:05,560 Speaker 1: hard work. If you couldn't do those three things, he 485 00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:09,080 Speaker 1: really shouldn't be playing professional football anyway. And those those 486 00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:11,320 Speaker 1: are the people he had a problem with. But I mean, 487 00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:13,720 Speaker 1: he was so much just on preparation. I remember my 488 00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:16,680 Speaker 1: rookie year. I'm not starting, but it's the first game 489 00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:18,680 Speaker 1: and he says, hey, I want you to break down 490 00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:23,240 Speaker 1: all the blitzes, um that the Eagles have done. That's 491 00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:24,879 Speaker 1: who were playing the first game. Break down all the 492 00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:28,480 Speaker 1: all the blitzes and for these you know four protections, 493 00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:31,000 Speaker 1: kind of our four main protections. And I want you to 494 00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:32,760 Speaker 1: to draw up the blitz and how you'd pick them 495 00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:34,679 Speaker 1: up that they'd done. And so you know, I just 496 00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:36,800 Speaker 1: kind of did their you know, their preseason games and 497 00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:38,719 Speaker 1: they hadn't done that many blitzes. I did them up. 498 00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:40,640 Speaker 1: And so all of a sudden next week, I kind 499 00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:42,439 Speaker 1: of do it, you know, do it then, and all 500 00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:44,199 Speaker 1: of a sudden, still week eight and I'm at to 501 00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:45,680 Speaker 1: do it. You know, it's not just the last four 502 00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:48,359 Speaker 1: weeks of blitzes. It's eight weeks of every blitz of 503 00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:51,760 Speaker 1: the team done, drawing off the four protections, and you know, 504 00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:53,760 Speaker 1: it would take a while. And I thought like it 505 00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:55,920 Speaker 1: was like, no way, he's looking at every one of mine, 506 00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:57,560 Speaker 1: like I'm doing a few of them. I just kind 507 00:25:57,560 --> 00:25:59,879 Speaker 1: of like made up or just like you know, just 508 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:02,200 Speaker 1: kind of got tired. I just I would skip one 509 00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:05,000 Speaker 1: sure enough. You know, he's like, what the hell is this? 510 00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:08,120 Speaker 1: You live? You're skipping the seventy six protection on the 511 00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:10,320 Speaker 1: front of my my sorry, coach. I mean he went 512 00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:12,680 Speaker 1: through everyone read and you had the red ink and 513 00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:14,600 Speaker 1: you know, if I made a mistake, I mean it 514 00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:17,240 Speaker 1: was it was three hundred three hundred, uh you know 515 00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:19,679 Speaker 1: drawings that I would do a week on all their protections, 516 00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:21,840 Speaker 1: and he looked through everyone the mike. Sure I was 517 00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:24,080 Speaker 1: knew what I was doing, making the right call and 518 00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:27,000 Speaker 1: picking up every blitz that they had done the right way, 519 00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:29,360 Speaker 1: and so, you know, but it just it taught me, 520 00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:31,960 Speaker 1: you know, you know, all of a sudden, when I 521 00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:34,159 Speaker 1: got to play in my next year, I knew my 522 00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:37,400 Speaker 1: protections and I knew I never took a hit from 523 00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:39,720 Speaker 1: a guy who I never came to the sideline said well, 524 00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:42,240 Speaker 1: I thought I was gonna be protected there when I wasn't. 525 00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:45,680 Speaker 1: You know, I always knew everybody's assignment, what they were doing, 526 00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:48,280 Speaker 1: and just taught me, you know, so much about preparation 527 00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:50,720 Speaker 1: and how much you had to do at this level 528 00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:53,760 Speaker 1: to get an edge on knowing what you're doing and 529 00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:57,840 Speaker 1: what the opponents is doing. Finally, m ten weeks Monday 530 00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:01,000 Speaker 1: Night Football. The reason this is gonna be great because 531 00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:03,840 Speaker 1: first of all, I think everybody understands what this is 532 00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:05,439 Speaker 1: going to be. This is going to be brothers at 533 00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:07,840 Speaker 1: a bar talking football, and so I think everybody's gonna 534 00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:10,119 Speaker 1: get it and everybody's gonna love it. But I also 535 00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:13,840 Speaker 1: think there's something you guys have in common, and this 536 00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:19,119 Speaker 1: is it speaks again because you're so You're just different. 537 00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:22,000 Speaker 1: I mean, you're upbringing. You both had centers with a 538 00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:25,640 Speaker 1: sense of humor. Jeff I love Jeff Saturday, and so 539 00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:27,760 Speaker 1: Jeff Saturday came up to me when I was at 540 00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:30,840 Speaker 1: ESPN and he just retired, and he came up to 541 00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:33,200 Speaker 1: me and he goes, hey, you don't remember this, but 542 00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:35,919 Speaker 1: my contract was up a couple of years ago, and 543 00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:38,000 Speaker 1: you went on the air and talked about me a 544 00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:41,520 Speaker 1: center for ten minutes. And he said, you said, and 545 00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:43,720 Speaker 1: I don't, He said, you said on the air, listen, 546 00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:47,399 Speaker 1: Peyton's great, but he's so intense. You better understand it 547 00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:49,880 Speaker 1: being the center for Peyton's No Day at the beach 548 00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:53,520 Speaker 1: and he goes, literally, Polly and hurt it. And I thought, 549 00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:57,920 Speaker 1: oh Jesus, And then the true story and then you 550 00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:01,000 Speaker 1: had I just watched the other day Cooper was interviewing 551 00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:05,440 Speaker 1: your center. We have these glimpses of the center quarterback 552 00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:07,400 Speaker 1: relationship in both of your life. I mean, I got 553 00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:11,040 Speaker 1: video of you barking at Saturday barking back at you. 554 00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:14,080 Speaker 1: But I always felt Peyton, and I'll start with you, 555 00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:18,760 Speaker 1: that's a really unique relationship of trust that I don't 556 00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:21,800 Speaker 1: think fans get. I just I think we all think 557 00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:24,880 Speaker 1: you and Saturday you went back and forth at each 558 00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:28,440 Speaker 1: other like brothers. Absolutely. You know, people talk about a 559 00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:31,920 Speaker 1: quarterback and you got to get that timing with your receiver, right, 560 00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:35,960 Speaker 1: that's the first first goal. And you gotta have a 561 00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:39,080 Speaker 1: great relationship with your left tackle. He protects your blindside. 562 00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:42,680 Speaker 1: That's that's BS know, the most important relationship you can 563 00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:45,680 Speaker 1: have as a quarterback is with your center. Saturday and 564 00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:49,240 Speaker 1: I are lockers. Were right next to each other. Every 565 00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:53,680 Speaker 1: other coats section was divided by positions right, defensive backs 566 00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:57,480 Speaker 1: over here, wide receivers over here, quarterbacks over here, except 567 00:28:57,520 --> 00:28:59,520 Speaker 1: for me, because I wanted to be right in the 568 00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:02,720 Speaker 1: middle of the offensive life. I was riding between Jeff 569 00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:07,000 Speaker 1: Saturday and Ryan Dean, my center and my tackle. Saturday 570 00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:10,720 Speaker 1: and I sat next to each other on the plane ride. Okay, 571 00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:14,200 Speaker 1: we flew the whole flight together, watching film together. This 572 00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:16,920 Speaker 1: is kind of in the pre iPad era, right, we 573 00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:19,680 Speaker 1: still had a computer. We're drawing things up on a 574 00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:22,000 Speaker 1: piece of paper. I didn't room with him because he 575 00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:24,120 Speaker 1: sleeps naked. I just I don't want to deal with that, 576 00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:27,560 Speaker 1: you know, hotel in Minnesota. And I apologize to the 577 00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:30,720 Speaker 1: viewers for that vision in your in your mind. But 578 00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:34,440 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, we took you know, thirty snaps 579 00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:40,000 Speaker 1: before every practice, simulating a full speed game. We're pouring 580 00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:44,800 Speaker 1: water on the ball, simulating a wet ball drill. Jeff's like, Peyton, 581 00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:47,640 Speaker 1: we're playing in the RCA Dome this week, why aren't 582 00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:49,960 Speaker 1: we doing the wet ball drill. I'm like, there might 583 00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:51,800 Speaker 1: be a leak in the roof. I don't know, but 584 00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:54,760 Speaker 1: dure enough, we're playing this we play in the Super 585 00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:58,160 Speaker 1: Bowl and there's a monsoon in Miami and Saturday and 586 00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:02,200 Speaker 1: I have zero fumbled snaps. The Bears have two, Jeff. 587 00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:05,040 Speaker 1: That's why we were doing the wet ball drill back 588 00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:08,400 Speaker 1: in October in two thousand and three. So, uh, it 589 00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:11,680 Speaker 1: is funny that O'Hara and Saturday look like each other. 590 00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:13,960 Speaker 1: They did a similar Eli. I remember the time of 591 00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:17,520 Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl when when when me, you and O'Hara 592 00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:21,360 Speaker 1: were talking and Carrie Collins walks up. He's like, hey Peyton, 593 00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:26,240 Speaker 1: Hey Eli, Hey Jeff, and Sewan O'Hara was like, actually, 594 00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:29,440 Speaker 1: I'm Sewan, Carrie, I snapped to you for a full 595 00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:36,800 Speaker 1: season in New York. Who I am? Yeah. The quarterback 596 00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:40,239 Speaker 1: center relationship is I mean, you know, our hands are 597 00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:43,200 Speaker 1: at places that you know usually don't do, not go 598 00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:47,440 Speaker 1: near another another man. Uh, you know, it's just you 599 00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:51,920 Speaker 1: get close real quick, and especially especially when O'Hara we 600 00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:54,120 Speaker 1: go out for a jog through and he thought i'd 601 00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:58,680 Speaker 1: be a good idea to cut a hole in his shorts. Um, 602 00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:01,240 Speaker 1: so I put my hands center and I get a 603 00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:06,960 Speaker 1: nice surprise. What what's going on? But I can't say anythings. 604 00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:09,240 Speaker 1: I know Colfin's that a rip them and like make 605 00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:11,960 Speaker 1: a big deal if you know, if he finds out. 606 00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:13,280 Speaker 1: So I just have to know. I kind of go 607 00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:17,800 Speaker 1: to shotgun and you know power, How are we running 608 00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:23,520 Speaker 1: power out of shotgun? What's going on?
