Today's guest is a good one. 50 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:52,680 Speaker 1: He want a Natty at the University of Colorado. He 51 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:54,920 Speaker 1: was a first round draft pickause of the Atlanta Falcons. 52 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 1: He was on the two Legit to Quit Falcons with 53 00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 1: Dion and Andre Risen. They were a badass crew of 54 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcon's Back of the Day. His name is Mike 55 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:07,680 Speaker 1: Protcherty's at Visa and Gambling Network in Vegas. I think 56 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 1: you're gonna like it. It's real good stuff. I've never 57 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,240 Speaker 1: interviewed Mike Purcher before. He's got some good stories. I 58 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:16,119 Speaker 1: think you'll really enjoy that. But first I just want 59 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,239 Speaker 1: to say I thought the biggest story in sports Wednesday, 60 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 1: which is kind of a slow day. Listen, it's a 61 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:22,240 Speaker 1: holiday weekend. Maybe we'll get like a Friday news dump 62 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 1: or something, but it's been a slow week. College football 63 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 1: is going to be holding a virtual meeting Friday that 64 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 1: could accelerate playoff expansion as early as WHOA. That is incredible. 65 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 1: That is amazing news. This four team playoff as a joke. 66 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 1: I know what you're gonna say, only like two teams 67 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 1: can win it every year? Anyway, maybe three? What do 68 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 1: we need more? You mean more football games that matter? 69 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:54,120 Speaker 1: More playoff games that matter? Yeah? I think that that's 70 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 1: way more meaningful than regular season dumpster fire games, pay 71 00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 1: to play garbage. I'm it up about this. According to 72 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 1: Pete Famil of ESPN and Sports Illustrated, I believe Pat forty, 73 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 1: it's fifty fifty whether or not there's going to be 74 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 1: a vote at this Friday meeting heading into the as 75 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:18,040 Speaker 1: I just noted, holiday weekend, and if if you want 76 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:22,240 Speaker 1: to slide it in, there's no greater way. Right before 77 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:25,280 Speaker 1: the college football uh season officially kicks off. I know 78 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:27,920 Speaker 1: Week zero happened, but really this is the first weekend 79 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,520 Speaker 1: to have great news that they're expanding the playoff. That 80 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,960 Speaker 1: is just tremendous news. I'll say this, if you want futures, 81 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:37,800 Speaker 1: that's the only two teams I've bet to win the 82 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 1: National Championship. Or Ohio State and Alabama. I think there's 83 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 1: a massive chasm. But after those two and number three, 84 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 1: whoever you want to put it three, whether it's Utah, uh, USC, 85 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:54,279 Speaker 1: It's not USC, Georgia, Michigan, whoever you want to put Clemson. 86 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,159 Speaker 1: I know there's people climbing for NC State. Go back 87 00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,840 Speaker 1: and listen to the Phil Steel podcast for a couple 88 00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:04,720 Speaker 1: of ago. I mean, college football Guru, that guy, um it, listen. 89 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:06,880 Speaker 1: There are some teams. I just think the gap is wide. 90 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,480 Speaker 1: So I've got money on those two. And you know, 91 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 1: obviously a house to day I think was plus three. 92 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 1: I I I don't know. I think those two if 93 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:17,480 Speaker 1: if they don't meet in the Natty, I would be stunned. Now, 94 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,120 Speaker 1: obviously injuries happened, but that That's where I'm feeling for 95 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 1: college football, and I'm very excited for the weekend. We 96 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 1: have family plans, you know, once football season starts. My 97 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,600 Speaker 1: weekends are chewed up. It's a lot of kids sports, 98 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:33,960 Speaker 1: and then Sunday. I don't miss Sunday nfls um Although 99 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 1: I can't believe I'm gonna reveal this on the podcast. 100 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,240 Speaker 1: Given that basketball team I was on this summer, we 101 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 1: won the championship in the league. One of the dudes, 102 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,920 Speaker 1: as you guys know, San's Clay I joke. His name 103 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 1: is really Sanjeev. He has played in what's called South 104 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:54,800 Speaker 1: Asian basketball tournaments. There's like a circuit for only Indian guys. Man, 105 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:58,080 Speaker 1: that's a racist. I'm sure you're saying, well, you know, 106 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:00,279 Speaker 1: why not A lot of them a real to commit. 107 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,360 Speaker 1: So they have this community of South Asian and this guy, 108 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:06,039 Speaker 1: son Jeeves played in them. He's been like a scoring machine, 109 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:09,600 Speaker 1: three point gunner, and but he's never won the championship. 110 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:13,839 Speaker 1: So he's like, listen, we should get a team and 111 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:15,920 Speaker 1: we go in it. And I'm like, okay, what is it? 112 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 1: I'm in, you know, but it's in October and I'm like, 113 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:22,839 Speaker 1: how are you gonna do that in the middle of fall? 114 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:27,479 Speaker 1: And like the you know, the regular I guess, but 115 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 1: the format would be Saturday and Sunday and then Sunday 116 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,479 Speaker 1: at some point in the championship and I'm like, I 117 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,080 Speaker 1: just that makes it real tough in the middle of 118 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:39,440 Speaker 1: football season. So all I'll say is we are efforting 119 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,599 Speaker 1: a team. And in our playoff run in the semifinals, 120 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 1: we faced an Indian guy and I think I mentioned 121 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:46,400 Speaker 1: at the time like we tried to get the guy's 122 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:49,839 Speaker 1: info he had already left. We ended up getting it. Anyway, 123 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 1: we have been in communication with him. It's the three 124 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:54,920 Speaker 1: of us. It doesn't look like we have enough people 125 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,760 Speaker 1: to make our own team, so we're gonna join my 126 00:06:57,800 --> 00:06:59,440 Speaker 1: guy son Jeef. And I'm sure he hates to be 127 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:01,480 Speaker 1: talking about us because he does listen on the podcast. 128 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:05,880 Speaker 1: He has friends who are on our team, and so 129 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 1: they have seven guys and my guy knows a lot 130 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:10,320 Speaker 1: of them, and he's like, well, we'd be the three 131 00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:12,840 Speaker 1: best players on the team, or maybe three best And 132 00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 1: so I'm like, so, wait a second, We're going to 133 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 1: a team.

We had Musburger on last year. I 175 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,160 Speaker 1: I know him from back in the day. Super good 176 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:30,040 Speaker 1: guy obviously, Um, why don't we just I do want 177 00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:32,439 Speaker 1: to get to you being full circle in Vegas, being 178 00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 1: like a high school star and then coming back and 179 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:36,880 Speaker 1: now being a radio star. But I just got ask 180 00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:40,440 Speaker 1: a Week one winner. Let's just get the audience started quickly. 181 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:44,319 Speaker 1: Give me somebody you like against the spread Week one NFL. 182 00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:47,600 Speaker 1: It could be aside, a total, a money line dog, 183 00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:51,080 Speaker 1: anything you want. Oh, I got you, I got you already. 184 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 1: I like Buffalo week one to be honest with you, Jason, 185 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:57,200 Speaker 1: because I mean, I think it's climbing. I'm looking at 186 00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:58,920 Speaker 1: two and a half right now. I got it. I 187 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 1: got it at too. So I would suggest if you 188 00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:03,640 Speaker 1: like Buffalo laying you know the two and a half 189 00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:05,360 Speaker 1: before it gets to three, it could get the three. 190 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 1: Who knows, But you know, l A got hot down 191 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:10,640 Speaker 1: this stretch last year. But they got hot because they 192 00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:14,559 Speaker 1: added Odell Beckham Jr. And Von Miller, right, And I'll 193 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:16,080 Speaker 1: give them a lot of credit. They got hot at 194 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:19,800 Speaker 1: the right time. But Buffalo, they's just they've just been consistent. 195 00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:22,280 Speaker 1: I think they're ready to go. And then they've added 196 00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:24,960 Speaker 1: von Miller. So von Miller going up against his former team, 197 00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,280 Speaker 1: he's going to be familiar with those guys on the 198 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 1: other side of the ball. So I liked the lay 199 00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:30,839 Speaker 1: to two and a half, right. I wouldn't lay to 200 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:32,600 Speaker 1: two and a half myself. I would try to get 201 00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:35,680 Speaker 1: under three, but I laid it two. More comfortable with that. 202 00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:39,000 Speaker 1: I'm curious everybody and their mom likes the Bills this year. 203 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:42,520 Speaker 1: The Super Bowl favorites her Josh Allen is the MVP favorite. 204 00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:45,480 Speaker 1: It seems like it's a little out of control. I 205 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:48,000 Speaker 1: wonder are we paying a premium if you want to 206 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,319 Speaker 1: bet Buffalo this year? I mean road favorites of two 207 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:53,280 Speaker 1: and a half in so far against the defending Super 208 00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:57,680 Speaker 1: Bowl champs, right, Um, maybe maybe it's possible that way. 209 00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:01,200 Speaker 1: But you know, Stafford with the elbow, I think, uh, 210 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:03,920 Speaker 1: you know, with the with the new additions to with Robinson, 211 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:06,480 Speaker 1: I mean they're going full speed for the first time 212 00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 1: against the number one defense against uh, you know, as 213 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:12,800 Speaker 1: far as points allowed, the scoring defense there is in 214 00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:15,400 Speaker 1: the National Football League, and they've added parts I mentioned 215 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:17,120 Speaker 1: von Miller. I think greg Orsill is going to have 216 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,800 Speaker 1: a better year this year. On the back end. White 217 00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:22,400 Speaker 1: is on the publist. I get that, but they got 218 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:24,280 Speaker 1: some young players back there, and I think they got 219 00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:28,280 Speaker 1: the best safety tandem in all National football leagues. So 220 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:30,680 Speaker 1: I'm feeling pretty good about that too, that I laid 221 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:33,120 Speaker 1: there with Buffalo. Yeah, I saw step McVeigh five and 222 00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,160 Speaker 1: oh against the spread five and oh straight up in 223 00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,520 Speaker 1: season openers with the Rams. I think a little different 224 00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:41,880 Speaker 1: animal here coming off. Yeah yeah. Yeah. So so let 225 00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:43,840 Speaker 1: me ask you, Bridge, what's it like to grow up 226 00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:47,800 Speaker 1: a high school star in Las Vegas? Where? And when 227 00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:50,160 Speaker 1: you were growing up in Vegas it wasn't obviously what 228 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:53,520 Speaker 1: it is today. It was still like, oh my gosh. 229 00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:56,160 Speaker 1: I mean you were like pretty much a legend. Everybody 230 00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,880 Speaker 1: was rooting. Yeah, it pretty much was a town. I 231 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,959 Speaker 1: mean we had nine high schools, right, and we all 232 00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:04,600 Speaker 1: committed competed against each other. We all kind of grew 233 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,400 Speaker 1: up together playing Pop Warner football. Uh, and then we 234 00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:09,800 Speaker 1: went our separate ways, certainly when you got to got 235 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:13,000 Speaker 1: to high school. But I'm playing up against people like 236 00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:16,680 Speaker 1: the Renzo Fertida, you know who used to own the 237 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:20,439 Speaker 1: UFC with Dana White. I'm going up against Marty Cardova, 238 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,800 Speaker 1: who played baseball with the Minnesota Twins, and uh, there's 239 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,920 Speaker 1: some other famous guys that I grew up with. You 240 00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:29,640 Speaker 1: know that came out in Vegas and I watched Randall 241 00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,680 Speaker 1: Cunningham play at UNLV and that's who really who inspired 242 00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:36,000 Speaker 1: me to want to go to college and play college football. 243 00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:39,880 Speaker 1: So we were a tight knit community. Everybody knew everybody. 244 00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:43,440 Speaker 1: But it was a great place, man, two hundred thousand people. 245 00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:45,240 Speaker 1: I mean you think about the size of the town 246 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:48,600 Speaker 1: then compared to what it is now. Yeah, completely different now. 247 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:52,719 Speaker 1: And it's like nineteen eighties, five, six seven around there, right, 248 00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:57,240 Speaker 1: eighty four, eighty five, eighty six, seventy that right there. 249 00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:01,160 Speaker 1: And so you know, college football was I mean it was. 250 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:03,120 Speaker 1: It was obviously a big deal back then, but it 251 00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:07,439 Speaker 1: was like it was mostly what a Florida state, uh nebra. 252 00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:10,040 Speaker 1: It was like it was a certain question of teams 253 00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:12,960 Speaker 1: mostly east of the Mississippi dominated college football, fair to say. 254 00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:16,920 Speaker 1: And you know, yeah, I think Nebraska. Yeah, like you 255 00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:18,720 Speaker 1: want to go mid eighties, you got to go to 256 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:21,280 Speaker 1: the Big Eight with Nebraska and oh you you can 257 00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:27,240 Speaker 1: throw in Miami two, right absolutely, Uh, the SEC It's 258 00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:30,360 Speaker 1: not it wasn't what it is now, right, I mean 259 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,719 Speaker 1: the Big Eight basically was the SEC. And so you 260 00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:35,520 Speaker 1: had some Big ten schools in there too, I mean 261 00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:38,880 Speaker 1: Michigan always, uh they were potent.

I'm trying to 334 00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:17,280 Speaker 1: think Illinois. I don't even remember if they were good 335 00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:21,359 Speaker 1: in the late eighties. They had Rick George, Um, Jeff 336 00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:25,159 Speaker 1: Jeff excuse me, Jeff George George. Rick George was a 337 00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:29,159 Speaker 1: recruiting coordinator, Jeff George was a quarterback. But Rick George 338 00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:32,520 Speaker 1: now is athletic director and the verse in Colorado, which 339 00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:35,920 Speaker 1: is crazy to think about. Full circle there, but yeah, 340 00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:38,639 Speaker 1: you know, Eric, I think it was Eric.

You need some 362 00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:46,919 Speaker 1: good relationships in the front office. So you need some 363 00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:49,680 Speaker 1: people that can believe in you, or they're not gonna 364 00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:51,480 Speaker 1: look at you the same way as they will look 365 00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:55,240 Speaker 1: at it. Joe says um. And I think for Eric 366 00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:59,159 Speaker 1: and his standpoint, he is a competitor. He is a 367 00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:04,320 Speaker 1: fierce competitor. And I wish there was more support in 368 00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:07,399 Speaker 1: the front offices for a guy like Eric. And what 369 00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:09,880 Speaker 1: I mean by a guy like Eric a passionate football 370 00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:13,440 Speaker 1: player who who former football player now coach, who cares 371 00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:17,760 Speaker 1: about his his players, who cares about each and every individual. Uh. 372 00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:20,280 Speaker 1: And we'll treat everybody with respect. But you know, a 373 00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:23,320 Speaker 1: lot of times I think people in front office they 374 00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:27,560 Speaker 1: want they want that coaches speak right, they want they 375 00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:32,320 Speaker 1: want a certain uh presentation, if you will. Uh. And 376 00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:34,520 Speaker 1: coach Flores has alluded to that, and some others have 377 00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:37,160 Speaker 1: alluded to that. But I think it's a matter of time. 378 00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:39,680 Speaker 1: You know, Eric is such a great, great coach, and 379 00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:43,639 Speaker 1: it just takes time, you know, unfortunately, for a lot 380 00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:46,600 Speaker 1: of people to see that. So you leave Colorado with 381 00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:50,160 Speaker 1: the championship overall, pick I was just looking at Herman More, 382 00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:52,440 Speaker 1: a legend from Virginia. When I was going on, Herman 383 00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:55,240 Speaker 1: More was a big deal. Um. And then Alvin Harper 384 00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:57,280 Speaker 1: and then you go thirteeth overall and you guys are 385 00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:01,440 Speaker 1: good out of the gate with who the Glenville, Jim Jones, 386 00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:04,439 Speaker 1: you guys are pretty good. Yeah. We had had a 387 00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:07,840 Speaker 1: good squad with with everybody there and and then it 388 00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:10,600 Speaker 1: didn't go great. But I'm mostly curious. Deon Sanders a 389 00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:13,479 Speaker 1: guy who's kind of like the enemy coaching now and 390 00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:17,359 Speaker 1: doing it his way. Um and and he's kind of 391 00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:18,840 Speaker 1: doing a cool job. I think some of the stuff 392 00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:20,879 Speaker 1: I've seen him do. But what's it like being on 393 00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:24,400 Speaker 1: a team with such personalities like rising bad Moon Rise? 394 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:27,000 Speaker 1: And I gotta call him obviously. Uh And Deon Sanders 395 00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:30,640 Speaker 1: And like you know, June Jones is a character. Jerry Glanville. 396 00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:34,199 Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, Jason, I believe it or not. 397 00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:37,240 Speaker 1: You know, we were voted the funnest team in the 398 00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:41,080 Speaker 1: history of the National Football League. Uh, documented right, And 399 00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:42,280 Speaker 1: whether or not that was a good thing or a 400 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:46,119 Speaker 1: bad thing to be determined, I guess. But it was incredible, 401 00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:50,399 Speaker 1: you know. I get there, Uh, Dion was gracious with 402 00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:52,679 Speaker 1: his time and showing me around Atlanta to a t 403 00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:56,000 Speaker 1: l uh and you know, I mean, all it's Dean Sanders, 404 00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,080 Speaker 1: right and here he is show me, you know, places 405 00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:00,280 Speaker 1: to go and people to see and play, is to 406 00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:02,760 Speaker 1: eat and everything like that. And Uh, then I meet 407 00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:05,600 Speaker 1: everybody else, you know. So he had showtime with Andre Rice. 408 00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:07,520 Speaker 1: You can call him bad Moon. We called him Showtime 409 00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:10,960 Speaker 1: at the time. Yeah, we had June Jones calling the 410 00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:13,560 Speaker 1: players with the running shoot and Michael Haynes. I mean, 411 00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:18,560 Speaker 1: we had so much talent, so much talent on that roster. 412 00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:20,359 Speaker 1: We went to the playoffs that year. We lost to 413 00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:24,240 Speaker 1: Washington uh in the playoffs. But Brett Farve was drafted 414 00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:26,840 Speaker 1: the same draft I was. Uh. He was the second 415 00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:29,320 Speaker 1: round pick, but I was in the first round, along 416 00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:32,000 Speaker 1: with Bruce Pickens, who was a third overall pick. But 417 00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:35,119 Speaker 1: we just it was just an incredible ride. I was 418 00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:38,280 Speaker 1: fortunate to go up against Dion and uh and practice 419 00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:41,760 Speaker 1: and and certainly uh get better as a player. I mean, 420 00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:44,399 Speaker 1: if you're practicing against Dion Sanders, I mean, you have 421 00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:46,159 Speaker 1: no other choice but to get better. He's gonna make 422 00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:50,000 Speaker 1: you better. A lot of trash, always a lot of 423 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:52,280 Speaker 1: even to his teammate, his buddy. We just showed around 424 00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:54,399 Speaker 1: town as soon as you get on the field. Just 425 00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:58,280 Speaker 1: different dude. Of course, he's a competitor, right, and but 426 00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:01,119 Speaker 1: that made me stronger though, that made me better. Iron 427 00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:03,199 Speaker 1: Sharpen's iron I mean, we talked about that all the 428 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:06,280 Speaker 1: time as football players. Andrea Riisen was a big influence 429 00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:08,680 Speaker 1: on me too. You know, I'll throw and Drew Hill, 430 00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:13,240 Speaker 1: who came in my second year from Houston.

Um, how did that start? You know, 446 00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:02,960 Speaker 1: it's a that's a question. I mean, I think see, 447 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:06,119 Speaker 1: we had so many celebrities coming to practice. We had 448 00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:09,399 Speaker 1: James Brown, the Godfather's soul practice. He ran a sweet 449 00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:14,320 Speaker 1: and practice Cason, I mean in Loafers by the way. 450 00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:20,080 Speaker 1: But you know Travis Tripp uh country Western star, um Uh, 451 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:24,080 Speaker 1: there's some other country artists.

So we were known to have a 456 00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:40,920 Speaker 1: star studied uh sideline, a star studied uh locker room, 457 00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:44,159 Speaker 1: a star studied practice and and so yeah, just evolved 458 00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:46,280 Speaker 1: that way. I mean we Jerry Glamville wanted us to 459 00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:48,160 Speaker 1: have fun. I mean that was part of being who 460 00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:51,399 Speaker 1: we were. That was us at the time, and we 461 00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:54,360 Speaker 1: had fun and we ran with it. Unfortunately, we couldn't 462 00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:57,000 Speaker 1: be consistent with our play on the field because we 463 00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,920 Speaker 1: couldn't back up that year that we made the playoffs 464 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:02,600 Speaker 1: rookie year. Yeah. That that's always tough when you guys 465 00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:05,399 Speaker 1: come out of the gate like gangbusters, and you know, 466 00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:08,000 Speaker 1: then you become the hunted and all of a sudden, 467 00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,920 Speaker 1: it's like a little tougher to duplicate that while keeping 468 00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:13,719 Speaker 1: the fun right right right, I mean, you've got teams 469 00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:17,080 Speaker 1: like the Dallas Cowboys that were building a dynasty, the 470 00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:20,480 Speaker 1: forty Niners that were rebuilding their dynasty with Steve Young 471 00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:24,600 Speaker 1: past Joe Montana, right, and you had Minnesota Vikings coming 472 00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:26,879 Speaker 1: on strong. You had Washington. I just talked about the 473 00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:30,040 Speaker 1: Washington football team at the time, which I believe to 474 00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:33,320 Speaker 1: this day was the best Super Bowl team that we've 475 00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:36,560 Speaker 1: ever seen as you think about that roster. So there 476 00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:38,719 Speaker 1: was a lot of competition not only within our division, 477 00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:41,439 Speaker 1: but certainly across the league at that time. And um, 478 00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:43,920 Speaker 1: the thing about the National Football League and you see 479 00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:48,240 Speaker 1: that to this day, Uh, you have to evolve and 480 00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:50,119 Speaker 1: you have to get better each and every year. If 481 00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:52,760 Speaker 1: you don't, if you stay the same, the legal pass 482 00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:55,240 Speaker 1: you by. And that's exactly what happened to us, I 483 00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:58,160 Speaker 1: believe down here in Atlanta. Yeah, I'm looking at the scores. 484 00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:00,639 Speaker 1: So in the regular season, why you to beat you 485 00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:04,679 Speaker 1: guys fifty six to seventeen, right, And and then you 486 00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:06,560 Speaker 1: had the rematch and it was closer in the playoffs, 487 00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:08,440 Speaker 1: but in the second round, but you guys couldn't beat them. 488 00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:10,400 Speaker 1: That was the team where Doug Williams had like five 489 00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:12,520 Speaker 1: TV passes in the second quarter of the Super Bowl 490 00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:16,760 Speaker 1: or something. Well that was after Doug Doug played against Broncos. Yeah, 491 00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:23,080 Speaker 1: in the eighties, Mark ridin right right with Gary Clark, Monk, 492 00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:26,080 Speaker 1: Rickie Sanders, Um, I mean it was in Craig Ricky 493 00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:28,640 Speaker 1: Irvan's I mean, they had so many great players the Hogs. 494 00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:32,040 Speaker 1: Mark Slareth was on that team as the offensive guard 495 00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:34,879 Speaker 1: I believe at the time, and uh, just so many, 496 00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:38,480 Speaker 1: so many great, great, great players. Defensively, they scared you, 497 00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:41,760 Speaker 1: They absolutely scared you. I mean when you think about 498 00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:44,119 Speaker 1: the caliber of defensive players and linebackers that they had 499 00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:49,600 Speaker 1: on that team. Wilbur Marshall, I mean, I mean, they 500 00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:53,120 Speaker 1: had some nasty players, but that got after you. They 501 00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:55,440 Speaker 1: definitely got after you. And uh and the job well 502 00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:57,000 Speaker 1: done that year for them. You know, I was just 503 00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:01,120 Speaker 1: starting to think that the NFL is constantly cyclical, right. So, 504 00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:03,600 Speaker 1: I mean you're in your early nineties, right, you had 505 00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:07,040 Speaker 1: the Cowboys with that awesome passing game, forty Niners as well. 506 00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:10,879 Speaker 1: You guys had loaded receivers up tempo at Washington. You 507 00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:13,119 Speaker 1: just rattled off all these receivers. Then it became a 508 00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:16,440 Speaker 1: run heavy league. I feel like we're back past happy 509 00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:19,280 Speaker 1: right now, where it's passed first and then worry about 510 00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:21,879 Speaker 1: the run later. We are. You're so right, and I 511 00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:23,920 Speaker 1: tell that to our audience all the time at VISA. 512 00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:27,840 Speaker 1: You know, Um, football is cyclical like that. We had 513 00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:29,679 Speaker 1: to run and shoot, and so many teams had to 514 00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:32,240 Speaker 1: run and shoot. Whether you look at Barry Sanders and 515 00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:35,000 Speaker 1: and certainly Detroit. You mentioned Herman Moore. You had the 516 00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:38,800 Speaker 1: k gun up there in Buffalo, uh, which Jim Kelly, right, 517 00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:42,119 Speaker 1: you had Houston with Warren Moon and running shoot and 518 00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:45,520 Speaker 1: so it was a spread offense. We called it a 519 00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:47,400 Speaker 1: certain name, to run and shoot. But that's what you're 520 00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:50,640 Speaker 1: seeing right now. You're seeing spread offenses with a lot 521 00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:53,119 Speaker 1: of concepts that we ran in the early nineties. And 522 00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:55,399 Speaker 1: you go back to the Greatest Show on turf even 523 00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:59,399 Speaker 1: uh with Kurt Warner and his bunch. I mean the 524 00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:02,320 Speaker 1: one A super Bowl that way. So, yeah, it's a 525 00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:05,280 Speaker 1: passing league. The rules are allowing it to be a 526 00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:08,040 Speaker 1: passing league. And if you look at the quarterbacks that's 527 00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:11,679 Speaker 1: that has entered the league right now. It really is incredible. 528 00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:15,200 Speaker 1: I love, I love what the NFL product is right now. Yeah, 529 00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:17,600 Speaker 1: it's funny. Did you see the Kurt Warner movie. I 530 00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:21,440 Speaker 1: think it's called Underdog. I missed a movie. I saw 531 00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:23,920 Speaker 1: it on a flight recently. Okay, kind of good. I 532 00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:27,320 Speaker 1: would recommend it's a little heart warm me. But Kurt 533 00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:29,639 Speaker 1: Warner story is, you know, so yeah, I would definitely. 534 00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:32,399 Speaker 1: If you've got kids who are, like, you know, not 535 00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:35,800 Speaker 1: quite teenagers, they might like it. Okay, but you know, 536 00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:38,240 Speaker 1: you mentioned quarterbacks and I was, you know, kind of 537 00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:40,399 Speaker 1: rattling off the m v P options and I was 538 00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:42,280 Speaker 1: looking to maybe make a futures bet on it. And 539 00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:46,080 Speaker 1: I'm looking around and pretty there's so many good players 540 00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:48,960 Speaker 1: right now in the league. Like, I'm not betting out 541 00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:52,120 Speaker 1: Josh Allen is a favorite. I don't think Stafford bounces back. 542 00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:55,879 Speaker 1: They're not giving Rogers a third straight. Right. Tom Brady 543 00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:59,320 Speaker 1: with this offensive line issue, um, I don't think he 544 00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:01,919 Speaker 1: pulls it off of five. You look around the league, like, 545 00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:05,280 Speaker 1: I haven't even mentioned Pat Mahomes yet. It's just justin 546 00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:07,440 Speaker 1: Herberts here. But Kirk Cousins, I don't know if you 547 00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:09,560 Speaker 1: felt a trade they made today kind of under the radar, 548 00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:11,960 Speaker 1: but I think it signals they're gonna be very past happy. 549 00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:14,399 Speaker 1: I almost put some shekels on Kirk kirk Cousins to 550 00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:16,840 Speaker 1: win the NBB. Yeah, you know what, I'm not mad 551 00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:19,119 Speaker 1: at you for that actually, be honestly, because I think 552 00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:22,600 Speaker 1: they're going to be improved. O'Connell. I called some games 553 00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:25,960 Speaker 1: for the Mountain West Conferences as a broadcaster and when 554 00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:28,040 Speaker 1: he was a quarterback. Certainly I'm familiar with him that way. 555 00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:31,000 Speaker 1: But then you know, you touched McVeigh and he's the 556 00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:34,399 Speaker 1: next uh genius out there offensively, I think, and I 557 00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:36,399 Speaker 1: think he's gonna help Kirk Cousins. Honest with you. That 558 00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:39,520 Speaker 1: wide zone is gonna help Alvin Cook with the play 559 00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:42,760 Speaker 1: action too. And Justin Jefferson, I I am so excited 560 00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:46,200 Speaker 1: to see him play in this offense. Uh, not just 561 00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:48,520 Speaker 1: because of what Cooper Cup did in his offense. Cooper 562 00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:50,760 Speaker 1: Cup is on a love all by himself, but as 563 00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:53,240 Speaker 1: a young player, I mean we saw Jamar Chase kid 564 00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:56,480 Speaker 1: out the gate. I think Justin Jefferson is about to 565 00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:59,840 Speaker 1: get to another level. Uh. And and he's terrific right 566 00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:02,600 Speaker 1: as a player. But you know there's some there's some 567 00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:06,240 Speaker 1: sneaky candidates out there for for m v P. When 568 00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:09,680 Speaker 1: you look at you mentioned Justin Herbert I like that 569 00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:13,560 Speaker 1: situation a lot um. I think Jalen Hurts is a 570 00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:15,880 Speaker 1: guy that you gotta keep your eye on, keep your 571 00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:18,040 Speaker 1: eye on. I mean, it's the longer shot, right, but 572 00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:21,400 Speaker 1: he's a he's a two way player. Uh you know 573 00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:23,520 Speaker 1: when you think about he scored in rushed for nine 574 00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:26,280 Speaker 1: ten touchdowns last year, didn't finish the year. But if 575 00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:28,719 Speaker 1: you can elevate his game a little bit with touchdown passes, 576 00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:31,080 Speaker 1: which I think they're gonna be hotly creative, He's gonna 577 00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:33,240 Speaker 1: be able to do that. It's gonna it's gonna set 578 00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:35,000 Speaker 1: the stage I think a little bit down the stretch 579 00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:37,600 Speaker 1: here in the league. And then Lamar Jackson, I think 580 00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:40,880 Speaker 1: people are curious, Yeah, that that that might be the guy. Yeah, 581 00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:44,640 Speaker 1: if Lamar Jackson has evolved his game, because we know 582 00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:48,560 Speaker 1: how fantastic he is already, but if he can involve 583 00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:53,680 Speaker 1: his game to where he's at prototypical pocket passer on 584 00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:56,360 Speaker 1: top of what he can do from an excitement standpoint, 585 00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:00,440 Speaker 1: he has another level to get to. I I think 586 00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:03,040 Speaker 1: this guy is not the limit for the mare Jackson, 587 00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:04,480 Speaker 1: if you know what I mean. I mean, there's this 588 00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:09,000 Speaker 1: guy could really set the bar very very high with 589 00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:11,040 Speaker 1: with what he could do from the pocket if he 590 00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:13,880 Speaker 1: gets there. And I think yeah, in the contract year 591 00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:17,200 Speaker 1: as well, right right right, and that the voters will 592 00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:20,280 Speaker 1: deny that that quotes right there either. Remember they were 593 00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:23,920 Speaker 1: eight and three when he went down. I think were dominant. Um, 594 00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:26,960 Speaker 1: just we can wrap up on this. But Justin Jefferson, 595 00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:29,960 Speaker 1: you mentioned him. I know my son like four years ago, 596 00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:33,040 Speaker 1: nobody knew. Justin Jefferson, you know, up and coming college 597 00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:37,200 Speaker 1: football wide receiver. Now ridiculous stats and then the gritty 598 00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:41,040 Speaker 1: takes like center stage, and like anywhere I go, I 599 00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:43,160 Speaker 1: just see kids doing the gritty. Just there's no music. 600 00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:44,920 Speaker 1: It's just kids are hitting the gritty and my son 601 00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:48,680 Speaker 1: didn't do it. Everybody, everybody wants Justin Jefferson, I am curious, 602 00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:51,080 Speaker 1: how do you rank the top of the wide receivers 603 00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:55,000 Speaker 1: this season? You got Cooper cup who is unguardable. You've 604 00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:58,480 Speaker 1: got Davante Adams, who may be the best route runner. Um, 605 00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:02,880 Speaker 1: jeffers In Chase like the league at the on the 606 00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:05,440 Speaker 1: outside is maybe as good as it's ever been. Right, 607 00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:07,920 Speaker 1: it is as good as it's ever been. That's why 608 00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:13,120 Speaker 1: we have the franchise wide receiver. Now, look at the 609 00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:17,120 Speaker 1: guys are going to the bank. Man, they got the loop. 610 00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:19,400 Speaker 1: But uh, you know rightly. So it's a passing league, 611 00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:22,640 Speaker 1: and I think we have the franchise quarterback. It's time 612 00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:25,560 Speaker 1: for the franchise receiver. I'm jealous of it because we 613 00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:29,120 Speaker 1: have some great receivers in my day too. But my goodness, 614 00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:31,320 Speaker 1: you mentioned that there's so many names out there you 615 00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:34,520 Speaker 1: can't you can't name them all. I'm excited about the 616 00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:38,080 Speaker 1: young players too. That just came, uh London out there 617 00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:44,400 Speaker 1: in Atlanta. Hopefully he can get healthy. Yeah, yeah, down 618 00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:47,920 Speaker 1: there with Jameis Winston, who I think, No, yeah, I 619 00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:50,680 Speaker 1: met them to win the division. Actually, to about that, 620 00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:56,160 Speaker 1: it's like the number three receiver. I think after Thomas 621 00:31:56,400 --> 00:32:00,560 Speaker 1: and um So last year Love it would have been 622 00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:04,320 Speaker 1: their number one. It's crazy. I'll get you out of 623 00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:06,400 Speaker 1: here on this one. I am curious. Do you have 624 00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:10,720 Speaker 1: like a I can't take Buffalo? Whoever the favorite is 625 00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:13,560 Speaker 1: in the NFC? Is it Green Bay or Tampa? Um? 626 00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:17,240 Speaker 1: I like San Francisco. Give me, give me your super 627 00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:21,440 Speaker 1: Bowl excluding the biggest favorites. Well I got unfortunately for you, 628 00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:24,880 Speaker 1: I got the super Bowl. But but but but now 629 00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:26,720 Speaker 1: I know I'm talking man, I'm talking that way, but 630 00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:29,760 Speaker 1: I like San Francisco. A lot of people are saying 631 00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:32,280 Speaker 1: they got a young quarterback, Trey Lance is going to 632 00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:35,480 Speaker 1: do it. But I'll tell you this, Uh, that family 633 00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:38,760 Speaker 1: they know some quarterbacks. Now, I'm talking about the Shanahan family. 634 00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:42,520 Speaker 1: And and I think what the decision was to move 635 00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:44,800 Speaker 1: to Trey Lance was because of what they can do 636 00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:48,040 Speaker 1: with that playbook. Jimmy Garoppolo. For as good as he 637 00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:51,120 Speaker 1: was with that offense, they think they can be even 638 00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:53,320 Speaker 1: better or more creative with Trey Lance. So I'm looking 639 00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:56,000 Speaker 1: forward to seeing that. Uh, and I think that's going 640 00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:57,800 Speaker 1: to surprise a lot of people. So I like the 641 00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:01,480 Speaker 1: forty niners with the roster defensively, offensively, Deebo and I 642 00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:04,840 Speaker 1: everybody to get it done this year. Just uh, what 643 00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:06,880 Speaker 1: would the reaction have been last year at this time 644 00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:09,640 Speaker 1: if I said, you know, Mike, I think it rams 645 00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:13,760 Speaker 1: Bengals super Bowl. Remember Stafford never won a playoff game, 646 00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:16,800 Speaker 1: I think right, And obviously the Bengals are coaches like 647 00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:19,280 Speaker 1: maybe in line to be the first fired. People would 648 00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:21,240 Speaker 1: have laughed. So, I mean, I get the chalkiness. But 649 00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:25,360 Speaker 1: at the same time, oh my gosh, like somebody's gonna surprise. 650 00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:27,800 Speaker 1: I'm rooting Chargers kind of. I had some money on 651 00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:30,360 Speaker 1: the Vikings to do some damage.
