Speaker 1: known facts about the big Game, and of course always

26
00:01:31,826 --> 00:01:34,546
Speaker 1: joined by my good friend at ded Kinka Walla. Hi,

27
00:01:35,226 --> 00:01:37,746
Speaker 1: I'm so excited. This is why you know this is Look,

28
00:01:37,866 --> 00:01:40,266
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow said it a few weeks ago, this is

29
00:01:40,346 --> 00:01:43,346
Speaker 1: why you work so hard. You work to get to

30
00:01:43,506 --> 00:01:46,826
Speaker 1: these moments. And we're at that moment. Mike, we are,

31
00:01:47,066 --> 00:01:49,226
Speaker 1: we are. Do you have a favorite memory? Oh, Mike,

32
00:01:49,346 --> 00:01:52,426
Speaker 1: that that is like asking do I have a favorite child.

33
00:01:52,506 --> 00:01:55,066
Speaker 1: It feels as if every Super Bowl story has something

34
00:01:55,066 --> 00:01:57,226
Speaker 1: special to it. But you know what, I'll give you one.

35
00:01:57,426 --> 00:01:59,106
Speaker 1: I was a writer at the Wall Street Journal. I

36
00:01:59,146 --> 00:02:01,946
Speaker 1: was covering the Giants and the Giants at the time.

37
00:02:01,986 --> 00:02:04,026
Speaker 1: As you know, we're coached by Tom Coughlin, who was

38
00:02:04,066 --> 00:02:06,146
Speaker 1: about as strict as they got. A few were five

39
00:02:06,146 --> 00:02:08,306
Speaker 1: minutes early. You were late. You had to make sure

40
00:02:08,346 --> 00:02:10,866
Speaker 1: that your feet were on the floor in a certain way.

41
00:02:10,906 --> 00:02:13,746
Speaker 1: When you were in a meeting room, so Tom Coughlin

42
00:02:13,826 --> 00:02:17,466
Speaker 1: didn't often show the personal side of him. Well, the

43
00:02:17,466 --> 00:02:19,746
Speaker 1: Giants upset the Patriots for the second time in four

44
00:02:19,826 --> 00:02:22,746
Speaker 1: years in Indianapolis. I go down to the field and

45
00:02:23,266 --> 00:02:27,546
Speaker 1: I see Judy Coughlin, Mrs Cofflin, Tom Coflin's wife, who

46
00:02:27,826 --> 00:02:31,946
Speaker 1: is truly, genuinely one of the warmest human beings on

47
00:02:31,986 --> 00:02:34,826
Speaker 1: the planet. And Judy Coflin sees me and she spreads

48
00:02:34,826 --> 00:02:36,986
Speaker 1: out her arms and she gives me this really big hug,

49
00:02:37,026 --> 00:02:38,306
Speaker 1: and what are you gonna do? Of course you're gonna

50
00:02:38,346 --> 00:02:40,386
Speaker 1: hug Judy Coflin. She's about as happy as can be.

51
00:02:40,706 --> 00:02:43,746
Speaker 1: And then right next to her is Tom Coughlin, strict,

52
00:02:43,906 --> 00:02:47,866
Speaker 1: tough Tom Coughlin, who takes no prisoners, and he sees me,

53
00:02:48,346 --> 00:02:51,306
Speaker 1: and Mike Key goes to hug me. And I think

54
00:02:51,306 --> 00:02:54,386
Speaker 1: that it's such a personal thing. It's such a personal journey.

55
00:02:54,386 --> 00:02:58,706
Speaker 1: And the Super Bowl for fans maybe about commercials and

56
00:02:59,066 --> 00:03:03,066
Speaker 1: bingo boxes and things like that, But for these men

57
00:03:03,146 --> 00:03:06,706
Speaker 1: and women who are parts of organizations, who give every

58
00:03:06,866 --> 00:03:09,426
Speaker 1: single ounce of their blood, sweat and tears to get

59
00:03:09,466 --> 00:03:11,946
Speaker 1: to this moment, it's as personal as it can be.

60
00:03:12,106 --> 00:03:15,466
Speaker 1: It's as personal of a journey. It's as magical as

61
00:03:15,626 --> 00:03:17,826
Speaker 1: anything that I get to be a part of. You're right.

62
00:03:17,866 --> 00:03:20,786
Speaker 1: I mean, it's the pinnacle and it's memories, a d

63
00:03:20,866 --> 00:03:24,146
Speaker 1: D for a lifetime for the players, the fans, the coaches,

64
00:03:24,346 --> 00:03:26,386
Speaker 1: a fan base, you know, like the Bengals for example,

65
00:03:26,466 --> 00:03:27,986
Speaker 1: locking on the door like they are. You know, there's

66
00:03:28,026 --> 00:03:30,506
Speaker 1: generations of fans that just haven't seen this before. So

67
00:03:30,546 --> 00:03:32,346
Speaker 1: it really is pretty cool. Well, you know, and I

68
00:03:32,346 --> 00:03:34,946
Speaker 1: think that that's what makes this episode so tremendous is

69
00:03:34,946 --> 00:03:36,786
Speaker 1: that we could sit here and we could talk about,

70
00:03:36,866 --> 00:03:39,106
Speaker 1: you know, the Philly Special, which I was present for,

71
00:03:39,266 --> 00:03:41,826
Speaker 1: we could talk about the helmet catch or all of that.

72
00:03:41,946 --> 00:03:44,826
Speaker 1: But instead we're going to take you through the origin

73
00:03:44,946 --> 00:03:48,626
Speaker 1: story of the game itself, which really is fascinating, Mike,

74
00:03:48,866 --> 00:03:51,706
Speaker 1: and we'll try to, as we like to do, give

75
00:03:51,746 --> 00:03:54,586
Speaker 1: some fun facts that are tangential to the game that

76
00:03:54,866 --> 00:03:58,746
Speaker 1: proved just how big it's really become. So should we

77
00:03:58,746 --> 00:04:00,866
Speaker 1: start at the beginning, Mike, Yeah, let's kick it off,

78
00:04:01,026 --> 00:04:04,386
Speaker 1: all right. The National Football League has been around since

79
00:04:04,466 --> 00:04:07,826
Speaker 1: nineteen twenty and in the late nineteen fifties there was

80
00:04:07,866 --> 00:04:11,986
Speaker 1: a young Dallas businessman named Lamar Hunt who wanted nothing

81
00:04:12,146 --> 00:04:15,626
Speaker 1: else but to own an NFL franchise. So, with the

82
00:04:15,706 --> 00:04:19,106
Speaker 1: league's rising popularity and household names like Jim Brown and

83
00:04:19,186 --> 00:04:24,146
Speaker 1: Johnny Unitis, owning a team seemed obviously, like I said,

84
00:04:24,586 --> 00:04:29,266
Speaker 1: the opportunity of a lifetime. Unfortunately, after multiple attempts Lamar

85
00:04:29,386 --> 00:04:32,786
Speaker 1: Hunt could not buy a franchise, so he came up

86
00:04:32,986 --> 00:04:36,706
Speaker 1: with a different plan. He gathered a group of wealthy

87
00:04:36,746 --> 00:04:40,906
Speaker 1: businessmen who also would have liked to buy an NFL club,

88
00:04:41,346 --> 00:04:45,866
Speaker 1: and he created a rival pro football league. And this

89
00:04:45,986 --> 00:04:48,866
Speaker 1: collection of men, who would be nicknamed the Foolish Club,

90
00:04:50,586 --> 00:04:53,026
Speaker 1: still started their own league, and they called it the

91
00:04:53,146 --> 00:04:56,426
Speaker 1: a f L, the American Football League. So, all of

92
00:04:56,466 --> 00:05:00,026
Speaker 1: a sudden, Mike the NFL had legitimate competition in stadium

93
00:05:00,026 --> 00:05:02,546
Speaker 1: attendance and TV rights, in the draft, and of course

94
00:05:02,546 --> 00:05:06,226
Speaker 1: in signing star players. Hunt and the a f made

95
00:05:06,386 --> 00:05:11,146
Speaker 1: such a substantial impact that by nineteen sixty six, the

96
00:05:11,226 --> 00:05:14,946
Speaker 1: two leagues agreed to merge, and in June of nineteen

97
00:05:15,026 --> 00:05:19,866
Speaker 1: sixty six, they agreed that their respective champions would play

98
00:05:19,906 --> 00:05:24,186
Speaker 1: in an annual season ending championship game. Why not, right

99
00:05:24,266 --> 00:05:26,186
Speaker 1: The first couple of years the game was actually called

100
00:05:26,226 --> 00:05:30,186
Speaker 1: the a f L NFL World championship games, so we

101
00:05:30,466 --> 00:05:33,666
Speaker 1: now retroactively called those super Bowl one and two, but

102
00:05:33,746 --> 00:05:35,946
Speaker 1: it wasn't until a DD year number three that the

103
00:05:35,986 --> 00:05:38,546
Speaker 1: game officially became known as the Super Bowl. It was

104
00:05:38,546 --> 00:05:41,626
Speaker 1: actually Hunt who jokingly pitched the name super Bowl based

105
00:05:41,666 --> 00:05:44,746
Speaker 1: off of the children's toy super Ball, which I actually

106
00:05:44,786 --> 00:05:46,946
Speaker 1: looked up. They don't necessarily make them anymore. There's some

107
00:05:47,026 --> 00:05:49,146
Speaker 1: iterations of it, but besides the point, and it was

108
00:05:49,226 --> 00:05:54,506
Speaker 1: his daughter's toy that prompted the idea about bouncing rubber ball,

109
00:05:54,626 --> 00:05:57,986
Speaker 1: just getting it done. So it really is a huge

110
00:05:57,986 --> 00:06:00,106
Speaker 1: watershed moment for the a f L, who opened to

111
00:06:00,186 --> 00:06:02,186
Speaker 1: that point it was really seen as the lesser league

112
00:06:02,426 --> 00:06:05,226
Speaker 1: than the NFL. You got Broadway Joe Joe Namath leading

113
00:06:05,226 --> 00:06:07,986
Speaker 1: the Jets to a monumental upset, putting the a f

114
00:06:08,106 --> 00:06:10,506
Speaker 1: L on the map. Super Bowl now it's often running

115
00:06:10,586 --> 00:06:12,786
Speaker 1: and we got to mention that Hunts Kansas City Chiefs

116
00:06:12,786 --> 00:06:15,986
Speaker 1: actually won Super Bowl number four in the final season

117
00:06:16,066 --> 00:06:18,906
Speaker 1: of the a f L versus the NFL, and with

118
00:06:19,066 --> 00:06:22,786
Speaker 1: the league's finally fully officially merging by nineteen seventy, I

119
00:06:22,826 --> 00:06:24,506
Speaker 1: think it's a good time to kind of turn and

120
00:06:24,586 --> 00:06:26,666
Speaker 1: let's talk about how the road to the Super Bowl

121
00:06:26,706 --> 00:06:30,066
Speaker 1: has evolved. By the merger, there were eight teams that

122
00:06:30,146 --> 00:06:32,586
Speaker 1: qualified for the playoffs, so you needed to win a

123
00:06:32,706 --> 00:06:36,746
Speaker 1: divisional game and a championship game to reach the super Bowl.

124
00:06:36,946 --> 00:06:40,346
Speaker 1: That stayed intact until nineteen seventy eight, when the league

125
00:06:40,346 --> 00:06:44,026
Speaker 1: added one wild card team per conference, so the winner

126
00:06:44,066 --> 00:06:46,786
Speaker 1: of each wild card game slid into the eight team

127
00:06:46,826 --> 00:06:51,066
Speaker 1: playoff bracket. In nineteen nine, the playoff field expanded to

128
00:06:51,186 --> 00:06:55,426
Speaker 1: twelve teams, adding a third wild card team to each conference,

129
00:06:56,146 --> 00:06:58,946
Speaker 1: and unless you were one of the four squads with

130
00:06:58,986 --> 00:07:02,346
Speaker 1: the first round by, under that format, you need to

131
00:07:02,346 --> 00:07:05,666
Speaker 1: win three games before reaching the Super Bowl. And then

132
00:07:05,786 --> 00:07:09,346
Speaker 1: this past season one was the first year that we

133
00:07:09,386 --> 00:07:12,746
Speaker 1: had a fourteen team playoff, so the number one seed,

134
00:07:12,826 --> 00:07:16,786
Speaker 1: the top seed, got that by, but everybody else had

135
00:07:16,826 --> 00:07:20,666
Speaker 1: to play. And here's one little cute fun fact. Since

136
00:07:20,746 --> 00:07:23,706
Speaker 1: the NFL started seeding teams for the postseason, which of

137
00:07:23,746 --> 00:07:27,746
Speaker 1: course was in ninet, every single Super Bowl Mike has

138
00:07:27,786 --> 00:07:30,986
Speaker 1: featured at least one team that was either a number

139
00:07:31,026 --> 00:07:36,866
Speaker 1: one or number two seed. Until this year, the Bengals

140
00:07:36,906 --> 00:07:41,026
Speaker 1: and the Rams are both four seeds. Still feel good

141
00:07:41,066 --> 00:07:44,066
Speaker 1: about the cream rising to the top. Yeah, but you

142
00:07:44,066 --> 00:07:46,586
Speaker 1: know what's so funny you say that, But I'll tell

143
00:07:46,586 --> 00:07:48,186
Speaker 1: you this. In the a f C, the Titans were

144
00:07:48,186 --> 00:07:49,986
Speaker 1: the one seed. I don't know that I would say

145
00:07:50,026 --> 00:07:52,106
Speaker 1: that they were the cream. I definitely came into the

146
00:07:52,106 --> 00:07:55,666
Speaker 1: playoffs thinking that the Bengals were the most complete football team.

147
00:07:55,906 --> 00:07:57,826
Speaker 1: And here we are knocking on the door for another

148
00:07:57,826 --> 00:08:01,466
Speaker 1: Super Bowl champion, who hopefully maybe Cincinnati fans are definitely

149
00:08:01,506 --> 00:08:03,186
Speaker 1: hoping that this would be the case that they got

150
00:08:03,186 --> 00:08:05,906
Speaker 1: that Lombardi Trophy. And I think the hardware is one

151
00:08:05,906 --> 00:08:08,146
Speaker 1: of those things that we all focus in on, and

152
00:08:08,306 --> 00:08:12,666
Speaker 1: it actually is Tiffany made so. Tiffany and Company Vice

153
00:08:12,666 --> 00:08:16,226
Speaker 1: president Oscar Reidner actually drew the design of the original

154
00:08:16,266 --> 00:08:19,986
Speaker 1: Super Bowl trophy on a cocktail napkin who says good

155
00:08:19,986 --> 00:08:23,826
Speaker 1: things don't happening bars. Originally called the World Championship Game Trophy,

156
00:08:23,826 --> 00:08:27,706
Speaker 1: it was renamed the Lombardi Trophy in V one following

157
00:08:27,786 --> 00:08:31,306
Speaker 1: the coaches death. Now weighs seven pounds, which clearly is

158
00:08:31,826 --> 00:08:35,306
Speaker 1: light enough to toss from one party boat to another,

159
00:08:35,426 --> 00:08:37,666
Speaker 1: potentially creating a little bit of havoc at least some

160
00:08:37,706 --> 00:08:40,786
Speaker 1: tense moments. But since super Bowl number one, the winning

161
00:08:40,826 --> 00:08:45,266
Speaker 1: team is actually received permanent possession of a sterling silver

162
00:08:45,346 --> 00:08:48,746
Speaker 1: trophy created by Tiffany and Company. It doesn't come in

163
00:08:48,786 --> 00:08:52,426
Speaker 1: that little Tiffany green box though green. That's blue. Clearly

164
00:08:52,466 --> 00:08:55,426
Speaker 1: you're not buying a lot of Tiffany. No, no, no,

165
00:08:55,706 --> 00:08:57,666
Speaker 1: all right, Well, let's go back to Super Bowl one

166
00:08:57,746 --> 00:09:00,426
Speaker 1: between the Packers and the Chiefs for a minute, because

167
00:09:00,666 --> 00:09:02,546
Speaker 1: I think there are a few interesting things to note

168
00:09:02,626 --> 00:09:05,266
Speaker 1: and it'll show to Mike how far we've come. So

169
00:09:05,866 --> 00:09:08,546
Speaker 1: super Bowls in l A this year. That first Super

170
00:09:08,546 --> 00:09:12,706
Speaker 1: Bowl was indeed at the Coliseum in Los Angeles. Now,

171
00:09:12,866 --> 00:09:17,466
Speaker 1: the attendance was just under six It would be the

172
00:09:17,546 --> 00:09:20,666
Speaker 1: only Super Bowl not played during a pandemic that has

173
00:09:20,746 --> 00:09:24,906
Speaker 1: not been at full capacity. And because there were separate

174
00:09:24,946 --> 00:09:27,506
Speaker 1: TV deals for the a f L and the NFL,

175
00:09:27,946 --> 00:09:32,906
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl was actually simulcast on both NBC and CBS,

176
00:09:33,026 --> 00:09:35,786
Speaker 1: and it wasn't until Super Bowl seventeen that the game

177
00:09:35,826 --> 00:09:40,026
Speaker 1: was actually broadcast all around the planet. Today, the game

178
00:09:40,066 --> 00:09:43,106
Speaker 1: is broadcasting over one hundred and eighty countries. It's in

179
00:09:43,186 --> 00:09:47,586
Speaker 1: twenty five different languages. But it's really truly crazy about

180
00:09:47,626 --> 00:09:50,226
Speaker 1: the first game is that most of the world never

181
00:09:50,306 --> 00:09:54,666
Speaker 1: even saw footage of Super Bowl one, because following the game,

182
00:09:54,826 --> 00:09:59,306
Speaker 1: both TV stations scrubbed their tapes so they could be reused.

183
00:10:00,866 --> 00:10:04,226
Speaker 1: Thank goodness for NFL Films, which also had cameras at

184
00:10:04,226 --> 00:10:07,026
Speaker 1: the game. They were eventually able to piece together all

185
00:10:07,026 --> 00:10:10,386
Speaker 1: of the footage that they got, and in two thousand sixteen,

186
00:10:10,866 --> 00:10:14,226
Speaker 1: Super Bowl One was indeed reaired. I can't believe it.

187
00:10:14,306 --> 00:10:17,666
Speaker 1: They just couldn't download it from the cloud. Alright, Mike,

188
00:10:17,706 --> 00:10:19,346
Speaker 1: how about this one? Do you have any idea who

189
00:10:19,346 --> 00:10:22,426
Speaker 1: the first halftime show was? What? We got? Marching bands,

190
00:10:22,546 --> 00:10:26,186
Speaker 1: marching bands from the University of Arizona and Grambling Stade,

191
00:10:26,306 --> 00:10:30,386
Speaker 1: bear Down, here we Go, and trumpeter l Hurt. There

192
00:10:30,386 --> 00:10:33,946
Speaker 1: were also three hundred pigeons and ten thousand balloons. So

193
00:10:34,106 --> 00:10:36,186
Speaker 1: I don't know how any of this really actually compares

194
00:10:36,266 --> 00:10:40,266
Speaker 1: to Flying Lady Gaga, who came in from the top

195
00:10:40,306 --> 00:10:43,346
Speaker 1: of Energy Stadium, and as we know, there was all

196
00:10:43,346 --> 00:10:45,906
Speaker 1: sorts of anxiety about the roof being open and closed

197
00:10:45,906 --> 00:10:47,666
Speaker 1: and how could she get in and all of that.

198
00:10:48,226 --> 00:10:52,226
Speaker 1: But that first Super Bowl did have a flying demonstration

199
00:10:52,386 --> 00:10:56,666
Speaker 1: by the Bell Rocket Airman. They flew hydrogen peroxide propelled

200
00:10:56,746 --> 00:10:59,666
Speaker 1: jet packs around the stadium. Something tells me we'll get

201
00:10:59,666 --> 00:11:02,506
Speaker 1: a little more flare with Dr Trey in the Super

202
00:11:02,546 --> 00:11:05,346
Speaker 1: Bowl celebration. That's what my gut's telling me. But at

203
00:11:05,346 --> 00:11:07,146
Speaker 1: the end of the day, the Packers players, by the way,

204
00:11:07,186 --> 00:11:10,386
Speaker 1: they earned a fifteen thousand dollars. That was the bonus

205
00:11:10,426 --> 00:11:14,226
Speaker 1: for winning the game. The Chiefs earned seventy dollars each.

206
00:11:14,226 --> 00:11:17,226
Speaker 1: Now this year's winning players collect ten times that amount.

207
00:11:17,746 --> 00:11:22,266
Speaker 1: Cool one fifty for the winners, k for the losers.

208
00:11:22,386 --> 00:11:26,106
Speaker 1: Not too bad. A little extra incentive to go and

209
00:11:26,146 --> 00:11:28,466
Speaker 1: winning that Super Bowl. But now that we schooled John

210
00:11:28,506 --> 00:11:30,266
Speaker 1: the history of the Big Game, when we come back,

211
00:11:30,306 --> 00:11:33,346
Speaker 1: we'll dive into even more fun facts about the Super Bowl.

212
00:11:33,346 --> 00:11:35,786
Speaker 1: I bet you have no idea how the phrase I'm

213
00:11:35,826 --> 00:11:39,186
Speaker 1: going to Disney World came about and which NFL player

214
00:11:39,506 --> 00:11:42,266
Speaker 1: was the first to cash in for saying it following

243
00:13:14,706 --> 00:13:17,706
Speaker 1: on NFL, explained Toddie Kinkaballa and Mike yam with you

244
00:13:17,746 --> 00:13:19,226
Speaker 1: and we're trying to make you smart for all your

245
00:13:19,226 --> 00:13:21,906
Speaker 1: Super Bowl parties. So before we actually got to the

246
00:13:21,906 --> 00:13:24,346
Speaker 1: Britak we mentioned that phrase and Indedia, it's one that

247
00:13:24,386 --> 00:13:27,626
Speaker 1: I'm you probably hear from your kids relatively frequently, where

248
00:13:27,626 --> 00:13:29,906
Speaker 1: it's probably I want to go to Disney World. Um,

249
00:13:29,906 --> 00:13:32,946
Speaker 1: but I'm going to Disney World, which we've seen so

250
00:13:32,986 --> 00:13:35,386
Speaker 1: many times super Bowl m v p s. They say

251
00:13:35,386 --> 00:13:37,146
Speaker 1: it all the time after a game. It's sort of

252
00:13:37,146 --> 00:13:40,466
Speaker 1: one of those fun little catchphrases. Well, I know you're wondering, like,

253
00:13:40,506 --> 00:13:43,306
Speaker 1: where did this thing actually come about? Well, former CEO

254
00:13:43,466 --> 00:13:46,186
Speaker 1: Michael Eisner from Disney and his wife, they were having

255
00:13:46,226 --> 00:13:49,706
Speaker 1: dinner with Dick Rutan and Gina Yeager, the first pilot

256
00:13:49,786 --> 00:13:52,866
Speaker 1: to circle the world without refueling. When they asked him

257
00:13:52,866 --> 00:13:55,146
Speaker 1: what they planned to do next, they replied, well, We're

258
00:13:55,146 --> 00:13:57,826
Speaker 1: going to Disney World. Eisner's wife thought it would make

259
00:13:57,866 --> 00:14:00,906
Speaker 1: a great ad campaign and the phrase was born. So

260
00:14:01,346 --> 00:14:04,066
Speaker 1: Phil Simms actually the first to say it after he

261
00:14:04,106 --> 00:14:06,426
Speaker 1: was named m v P of the nineteen eight seven

262
00:14:06,466 --> 00:14:10,746
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. He was paid seventy five K to say that.

263
00:14:10,746 --> 00:14:14,226
Speaker 1: That is Look, I'd say that's good money. In hell,

264
00:14:14,226 --> 00:14:16,746
Speaker 1: I'll say that's great money even nowadays. A d D

265
00:14:16,866 --> 00:14:20,826
Speaker 1: I'll take for sure. I would not only take it

266
00:14:21,066 --> 00:14:23,666
Speaker 1: for that, but my kids would love it if I said, well,

267
00:14:23,666 --> 00:14:26,746
Speaker 1: we're going to Disney World. But you know what Phil

268
00:14:26,786 --> 00:14:28,706
Speaker 1: Simms was m v P. So let's talk about the

269
00:14:28,746 --> 00:14:31,146
Speaker 1: m v ps for a second. The position that has

270
00:14:31,186 --> 00:14:36,986
Speaker 1: earned the most m v P honors is totally unsurprisingly, quarterbacks.

271
00:14:37,066 --> 00:14:40,586
Speaker 1: There have been thirty one quarterbacks named m v P

272
00:14:40,786 --> 00:14:43,986
Speaker 1: of the Super Bowl Most, Mike, can you guess which

273
00:14:44,066 --> 00:14:46,746
Speaker 1: quarterback has been named Super Bowl m v P the most.

274
00:14:47,266 --> 00:14:50,106
Speaker 1: There's one guy in particular who just decided that he

275
00:14:50,106 --> 00:14:51,866
Speaker 1: doesn't want to play anymore. And you and I have

276
00:14:51,906 --> 00:14:54,826
Speaker 1: been convinced he had twenty more good season still left

277
00:14:54,826 --> 00:14:58,026
Speaker 1: that we wanted that so it would make us feel young. Yes,

278
00:14:58,106 --> 00:15:00,866
Speaker 1: we did want that. Tom Brady, you are correct. Tom

279
00:15:00,866 --> 00:15:06,186
Speaker 1: Brady has four and Joe Montana has three Super Bowl

280
00:15:06,306 --> 00:15:07,786
Speaker 1: m v P s. I'll tell you this. I was

281
00:15:07,786 --> 00:15:09,626
Speaker 1: actually talking to a running back who is going to

282
00:15:09,666 --> 00:15:11,546
Speaker 1: be playing in this game, and we were talking about

283
00:15:11,546 --> 00:15:13,106
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl m v P. I think that he

284
00:15:13,146 --> 00:15:15,146
Speaker 1: would be pleased to know that running backs have actually

285
00:15:15,226 --> 00:15:20,226
Speaker 1: been named the Super Bowl MVP seven times. Wide receivers

286
00:15:20,266 --> 00:15:23,426
Speaker 1: have also been named Super Bowl m v P seven times.

287
00:15:23,666 --> 00:15:26,386
Speaker 1: Only one time in the history of the Super Bowl

288
00:15:26,626 --> 00:15:30,266
Speaker 1: was a returner named the m v P. But that

289
00:15:30,426 --> 00:15:32,746
Speaker 1: was Dustin Howard in Super Bowl thirty one. And you

290
00:15:32,786 --> 00:15:34,506
Speaker 1: know what, he had two dred and forty four all

291
00:15:34,546 --> 00:15:37,306
Speaker 1: purpose yards and he had a ninety nine yard kickoff

292
00:15:37,346 --> 00:15:41,386
Speaker 1: return touchdown. Seems pretty uh m v P worthy to me,

293
00:15:41,666 --> 00:15:43,826
Speaker 1: don't you think? Yeah, I'm with you. I mean, those

294
00:15:43,866 --> 00:15:45,786
Speaker 1: big players are the ones that sort of stand out

295
00:15:45,826 --> 00:15:48,906
Speaker 1: the most. I think, what's sort of cool for anyone

296
00:15:48,906 --> 00:15:52,346
Speaker 1: who gets to see those moments in person? Are once again,

297
00:15:52,466 --> 00:15:54,106
Speaker 1: did you circling back to the top of the show,

298
00:15:54,146 --> 00:15:56,866
Speaker 1: the memories that you have surrounding some of those games.

299
00:15:56,866 --> 00:15:59,066
Speaker 1: And there's some fans lucky enough to score some tickets

300
00:15:59,106 --> 00:16:02,346
Speaker 1: for that first Super Bowl, remember super Bowl number one.

301
00:16:02,546 --> 00:16:05,506
Speaker 1: Guess how much twelve bucks to see the Packers and

302
00:16:05,586 --> 00:16:07,946
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, which I get it. You're like, oh, it's

303
00:16:07,946 --> 00:16:10,466
Speaker 1: only twelve dollars, Well, it's really like a hundred dollars

304
00:16:10,466 --> 00:16:13,826
Speaker 1: when you consider inflation in the year two, but there's

305
00:16:13,866 --> 00:16:17,426
Speaker 1: been some significant price increases. Fans. You went to the

306
00:16:17,466 --> 00:16:19,826
Speaker 1: Super Bowl back in twenty they paid an average of

307
00:16:19,946 --> 00:16:23,546
Speaker 1: seven thousand dollars to see the Chiefs and the Niners

308
00:16:23,586 --> 00:16:26,586
Speaker 1: in that game saw more than sixty two thousand fans

309
00:16:26,666 --> 00:16:29,506
Speaker 1: at hard Rock Stadium in Miami. That was well short

310
00:16:29,546 --> 00:16:32,226
Speaker 1: of the largest crowd in Super Bowl history. Five largest

311
00:16:32,266 --> 00:16:34,986
Speaker 1: crowds in the history of the game all played yes

312
00:16:35,026 --> 00:16:37,026
Speaker 1: at the Rolls Bowl in Pasadena. I was actually just

313
00:16:37,106 --> 00:16:40,026
Speaker 1: there the other week for the NFL p A Collegiate Bowl,

314
00:16:40,146 --> 00:16:42,866
Speaker 1: but the top three saw attendance over one hundred and

315
00:16:43,066 --> 00:16:46,346
Speaker 1: three thousand. The Rolls Bowl has yet to host another game,

316
00:16:47,746 --> 00:16:50,626
Speaker 1: but the largest attendance for a non Rolls Bowl game

317
00:16:50,866 --> 00:16:54,346
Speaker 1: super Bowl forty five at Jerry's World, which welcomed in

318
00:16:54,626 --> 00:16:59,386
Speaker 1: over nine thousand fans. That's a whole lot of beverages

319
00:16:59,426 --> 00:17:02,626
Speaker 1: and hot dogs to be able to serve at those stadiums. Well,

320
00:17:02,746 --> 00:17:05,266
Speaker 1: most folks will actually be watching from the comfort of

321
00:17:05,266 --> 00:17:08,626
Speaker 1: their home Smike, and let's just say that the ratings

322
00:17:08,626 --> 00:17:12,306
Speaker 1: for the Super Bowl have been robust for quite some time.

323
00:17:12,626 --> 00:17:15,906
Speaker 1: According to Nielsen figure, super Bowl fifty one between the

324
00:17:15,986 --> 00:17:20,226
Speaker 1: Pats and the Falcons is the single most watch television

325
00:17:20,266 --> 00:17:25,266
Speaker 1: program of all time. One hundred and seventy two million

326
00:17:25,386 --> 00:17:30,346
Speaker 1: viewers watch that twenty eight to three comeback. In fact, Mike,

327
00:17:30,466 --> 00:17:33,986
Speaker 1: the most viewed TV programs of all time are all

328
00:17:34,146 --> 00:17:38,506
Speaker 1: Super Bowl games. The Mash finale was the most watched

329
00:17:38,506 --> 00:17:41,946
Speaker 1: TV broadcast until that record was broken by Super Bowl

330
00:17:41,986 --> 00:17:44,386
Speaker 1: forty four. That was the Saints and the Colts. They

331
00:17:44,386 --> 00:17:46,986
Speaker 1: brought in a hundred and six point five million viewers.

332
00:17:47,546 --> 00:17:49,586
Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about what happens when you're watching

333
00:17:49,586 --> 00:17:51,386
Speaker 1: at home, which I know that I don't really get

334
00:17:51,426 --> 00:17:53,746
Speaker 1: to do that much, and I'm very very grateful that

335
00:17:53,826 --> 00:17:56,546
Speaker 1: I don't. But if you are watching at home, or

336
00:17:56,586 --> 00:17:59,266
Speaker 1: if you're at a Super Bowl party, you have to

337
00:17:59,306 --> 00:18:03,706
Speaker 1: have good food and drink, right, because apparently Super Bowl

338
00:18:03,746 --> 00:18:06,786
Speaker 1: Sunday is the second biggest eating day of the year,

339
00:18:07,146 --> 00:18:10,906
Speaker 1: behind only Thanksgiving. The estimate of what is consumed on

340
00:18:10,946 --> 00:18:15,546
Speaker 1: Super Bowl Sunday, Mike, one point four billion chicken wings,

341
00:18:16,546 --> 00:18:22,346
Speaker 1: one point three billion dollars spent on beer. Might change

342
00:18:22,386 --> 00:18:25,386
Speaker 1: this here, there might be more hard Seltzer consumed. Maybe

343
00:18:25,506 --> 00:18:29,466
Speaker 1: I don't know. Three A hard Seltzer guy beverage of choice. No,

344
00:18:30,026 --> 00:18:32,666
Speaker 1: I'm more of a wine guy and occasionally a beer drinker.

345
00:18:32,746 --> 00:18:35,466
Speaker 1: So and you drink wine even when watching a football game, Yeah,

346
00:18:35,466 --> 00:18:37,426
Speaker 1: I have no shame. I own it. I can't say

347
00:18:37,426 --> 00:18:40,306
Speaker 1: that I've drank wine on Super Bowl Sunday. All right,

348
00:18:40,346 --> 00:18:42,706
Speaker 1: But what else do we think of when we besides

349
00:18:43,186 --> 00:18:47,786
Speaker 1: amusing football and huge pageantry and the halftime show and food,

350
00:18:48,106 --> 00:18:52,026
Speaker 1: come on commercials, commercials, commercials. Commercials. Of course, that's what

351
00:18:52,186 --> 00:18:55,546
Speaker 1: makes a Super Bowl broadcast so enticing to people who

352
00:18:55,906 --> 00:18:59,106
Speaker 1: love the Bowl and people who are more passive observers

353
00:18:59,146 --> 00:19:02,466
Speaker 1: the commercials. So the cost of a thirty second ad

354
00:19:02,506 --> 00:19:07,306
Speaker 1: for Super Bowl one was seven was in five hundred dollars.

355
00:19:07,946 --> 00:19:10,946
Speaker 1: Today that would be three hundred thousand dollars. And you

356
00:19:10,946 --> 00:19:13,666
Speaker 1: know what, that would be a bargain, Mike, because right

357
00:19:13,706 --> 00:19:17,506
Speaker 1: now NBC is selling thirty second spots for the Super

358
00:19:17,506 --> 00:19:20,986
Speaker 1: Bowl for wait fat, wait ferat wait for it six

359
00:19:21,266 --> 00:19:26,266
Speaker 1: point five million dollars. And since we're talking advertising, we

360
00:19:26,266 --> 00:19:28,546
Speaker 1: should mention that the National Football League takes a Super

361
00:19:28,546 --> 00:19:31,706
Speaker 1: Bowl trademark very very seriously. So using Super Bowl to

362
00:19:31,786 --> 00:19:36,266
Speaker 1: draw attention to your business is a violation of trademark rights.

363
00:19:36,306 --> 00:19:38,026
Speaker 1: Which is why I like when we keep hearing about

364
00:19:38,026 --> 00:19:40,426
Speaker 1: all these sales. Right now, it's called the big game

365
00:19:40,706 --> 00:19:46,226
Speaker 1: as opposed to a Super Bowl sale. This podcast is

379
00:20:40,986 --> 00:20:43,826
Speaker 1: NFL explained did you let's continue to talk about the

380
00:20:43,866 --> 00:20:45,786
Speaker 1: cash because you threw out some big figures when it

381
00:20:45,786 --> 00:20:49,506
Speaker 1: comes to the commercials, but more specifically the amount bet

382
00:20:49,586 --> 00:20:53,306
Speaker 1: on Super Bowl games. One hundred and thirty six million

383
00:20:53,466 --> 00:20:55,946
Speaker 1: was wagered in Vegas on Super Bowl fifty five. The

384
00:20:55,986 --> 00:20:59,466
Speaker 1: record was a hundred fifty eight million who bet on

385
00:20:59,546 --> 00:21:03,146
Speaker 1: the Patriots Eagle Super Bowl back in but Vegas claims

386
00:21:03,226 --> 00:21:05,946
Speaker 1: that was only around one percent of those wagers. Ash

387
00:21:05,986 --> 00:21:09,026
Speaker 1: says the heavy favorite was the Patriots. But while we're

388
00:21:09,026 --> 00:21:10,786
Speaker 1: on the subject, a couple of little fun facts that

389
00:21:10,866 --> 00:21:13,306
Speaker 1: might help you, just in case you're thinking about placing

390
00:21:13,346 --> 00:21:15,666
Speaker 1: a wager this year. The winner of the coin toss

391
00:21:15,906 --> 00:21:19,546
Speaker 1: has actually lost the last seven Super Bowls. The team

392
00:21:19,586 --> 00:21:23,306
Speaker 1: that scores first thirty six and nineteen. And teams wearing

393
00:21:23,346 --> 00:21:26,946
Speaker 1: and I love this white jerseys have won fourteen of

394
00:21:27,026 --> 00:21:30,906
Speaker 1: the last seventeen Super Bowls. And the Bengals just announced

395
00:21:30,906 --> 00:21:34,066
Speaker 1: that they're going to be wearing black jerseys and white pants.

396
00:21:34,346 --> 00:21:35,826
Speaker 1: But you know, they lost the coin toss in the

397
00:21:35,866 --> 00:21:37,826
Speaker 1: a f C Championship game and they still won the

398
00:21:37,866 --> 00:21:40,426
Speaker 1: a f C. So maybe it's a year for bucking trends.

399
00:21:40,746 --> 00:21:43,306
Speaker 1: I don't know. That's a nice little factory by d

400
00:21:44,866 --> 00:21:48,106
Speaker 1: Well from white jerseys to the White House. The Steelers

401
00:21:48,266 --> 00:21:50,626
Speaker 1: were actually the first team to visit the President after

402
00:21:50,666 --> 00:21:53,306
Speaker 1: winning a Super Bowl in nineteen eighty when Jimmy Carter

403
00:21:53,426 --> 00:21:55,986
Speaker 1: told them to come on down. And then after Jimmy Carter,

404
00:21:56,186 --> 00:21:58,826
Speaker 1: Ronald Reagan made it a very regular occurrence. You know

405
00:21:58,826 --> 00:22:01,346
Speaker 1: what else happened in the nineteen eighties, Mike. It was

406
00:22:01,426 --> 00:22:05,946
Speaker 1: the first song dedicated to reaching the title game. It

407
00:22:06,026 --> 00:22:07,866
Speaker 1: was the eighty five Bears, and they put together a

408
00:22:07,866 --> 00:22:12,826
Speaker 1: little dance called the Super Bowl Shuffle, and it was

409
00:22:12,866 --> 00:22:15,866
Speaker 1: a little bit cringe worthy, but it was nominated for

410
00:22:15,906 --> 00:22:19,786
Speaker 1: a Grammy. That's not a joke, like it's legit, it's true.

411
00:22:21,226 --> 00:22:23,706
Speaker 1: I'll tell you this. Chicago's defense was not a joke

412
00:22:23,786 --> 00:22:27,146
Speaker 1: either that year, because they put together a blowout win

413
00:22:27,226 --> 00:22:29,866
Speaker 1: of the Patriots in Super Bowl twenty. And since we're

414
00:22:29,866 --> 00:22:31,986
Speaker 1: talking about the shuffle, I should mention that I did

415
00:22:32,026 --> 00:22:34,586
Speaker 1: just hang out with Ikey Woods, who made the Icky

416
00:22:34,626 --> 00:22:37,666
Speaker 1: shuffle very famous. See that transition right there. I'll take

417
00:22:37,746 --> 00:22:41,306
Speaker 1: that famous Bengals alum who was very, very excited and

418
00:22:41,426 --> 00:22:44,506
Speaker 1: handled the trophy presentation at the a f C Championship Game.

419
00:22:44,706 --> 00:22:46,666
Speaker 1: So let's move on, Mike. I've hit you with some

420
00:22:46,706 --> 00:22:48,866
Speaker 1: fun facts off the field. Let's go through some of

421
00:22:48,906 --> 00:22:52,906
Speaker 1: the more interesting records on the field. How many players, Mike,

422
00:22:52,986 --> 00:22:56,946
Speaker 1: do you believe have won back to back Super Bowls

423
00:22:57,186 --> 00:23:00,866
Speaker 1: with different teams? Oh, the different team I was gonna

424
00:23:00,906 --> 00:23:02,826
Speaker 1: say that. I think there's probably a fair amount that

425
00:23:02,906 --> 00:23:05,706
Speaker 1: have won back to back titles, but the different team situation,

426
00:23:05,746 --> 00:23:07,906
Speaker 1: and that's got to be a pretty exclusive list. I'd

427
00:23:07,906 --> 00:23:09,906
Speaker 1: say less than ten. Less than ten is correct. There

428
00:23:09,946 --> 00:23:13,346
Speaker 1: have been seven Ken Norton Jr. Dan Sanders, Derick Martin,

429
00:23:13,386 --> 00:23:21,426
Speaker 1: Brandon Browner, Chris Long, Lagary Blunt, and Lashawn McCoy. Yeah. Well,

430
00:23:21,546 --> 00:23:24,186
Speaker 1: Tom Brady has obviously a lot of Super Bowl wins

431
00:23:24,226 --> 00:23:26,386
Speaker 1: and a ton of those records. And since he just

432
00:23:26,466 --> 00:23:28,066
Speaker 1: called it a career a d D, you and I

433
00:23:28,146 --> 00:23:30,546
Speaker 1: said we would dedicate like multiple podcast to him. But

434
00:23:30,586 --> 00:23:32,386
Speaker 1: at least in the super Bowl deal will give him

435
00:23:32,626 --> 00:23:35,586
Speaker 1: a whole section to himself. He's the only player to

436
00:23:35,626 --> 00:23:39,626
Speaker 1: win Super Bowl over the span of three decades that one.

437
00:23:40,426 --> 00:23:42,106
Speaker 1: I think it's almost fair to say that one might

438
00:23:42,106 --> 00:23:44,666
Speaker 1: not get touched. His seven Super Bowl wins are more

439
00:23:44,706 --> 00:23:49,306
Speaker 1: than twenty seven franchises have in terms of appearances. The

440
00:23:49,346 --> 00:23:53,066
Speaker 1: teams with at least seven appearances the Pats, the Cowboys,

441
00:23:53,146 --> 00:23:56,306
Speaker 1: the Steelers, the Broncos, and the Niners and he has

442
00:23:56,826 --> 00:23:59,546
Speaker 1: more than two times the amount of passing yards in

443
00:23:59,586 --> 00:24:02,266
Speaker 1: Super Bowls as the next quarterback are good friend, and

444
00:24:02,306 --> 00:24:04,266
Speaker 1: if you missed his episode when he popped out with us,

445
00:24:04,426 --> 00:24:07,346
Speaker 1: encourage you to go back. But our buddy Kurt Warner. Yeah, now,

446
00:24:07,386 --> 00:24:10,266
Speaker 1: Britty of Chris has ten Super Bowl appearances though, but

447
00:24:10,346 --> 00:24:12,986
Speaker 1: do you want to know the most consecutive appearances in

448
00:24:12,986 --> 00:24:17,066
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl. That would go to quarterback Gail Gilbert,

449
00:24:17,266 --> 00:24:20,586
Speaker 1: who had five. He was a backup for the Bills

450
00:24:20,586 --> 00:24:22,906
Speaker 1: on their run of four consecutive losses in the early

451
00:24:22,986 --> 00:24:26,746
Speaker 1: nineteen nineties, those Jim Kelly teams, of course, and then

452
00:24:27,106 --> 00:24:31,066
Speaker 1: he joined the Chargers just in time to be destroyed

453
00:24:31,106 --> 00:24:35,986
Speaker 1: by the Niners in the Super Bowl. Alright. The longest

454
00:24:36,186 --> 00:24:39,026
Speaker 1: play in the Super Bowl a kickoff return. It was

455
00:24:39,066 --> 00:24:42,426
Speaker 1: a touchdown to Kobe Jones Super Bowl forty seven. The

456
00:24:42,466 --> 00:24:45,786
Speaker 1: fewest completions by a quarterback in a Super Bowl win

457
00:24:46,106 --> 00:24:50,226
Speaker 1: Bob Greasy Miami six, only throughout seven times in Super

458
00:24:50,266 --> 00:24:53,586
Speaker 1: Bowl eight against Minnesota. The most rushing yards in the game,

459
00:24:53,586 --> 00:24:56,026
Speaker 1: How about this one? Timmy Smith had two hundred and

460
00:24:56,146 --> 00:24:59,626
Speaker 1: four yards in Washington's win over Denver in Super Bowl.

461
00:25:00,746 --> 00:25:03,466
Speaker 1: Smith would go on to rush for only six hundred

462
00:25:03,466 --> 00:25:06,826
Speaker 1: and two yards his entire career. Way to show up

463
00:25:06,826 --> 00:25:10,346
Speaker 1: in the big Game. I'll take it. Yeah, seriously, right, Okay?

464
00:25:10,426 --> 00:25:13,666
Speaker 1: Since the nineteen seventies season, only four teams have won

465
00:25:13,706 --> 00:25:17,826
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl without playing a home game in the playoffs.

466
00:25:18,306 --> 00:25:21,746
Speaker 1: That would be the two five Steelers, the two seven Shiants,

467
00:25:22,346 --> 00:25:27,746
Speaker 1: ten Packers, and the twenty twenty Tampa Bay Bucks, although

468
00:25:28,266 --> 00:25:30,626
Speaker 1: Tampa did actually get to play the Super Bowl in

469
00:25:30,866 --> 00:25:33,666
Speaker 1: its home stadium, which is what the Rams are getting

470
00:25:33,666 --> 00:25:37,346
Speaker 1: to do. Although the Rams are officially the away team

471
00:25:37,386 --> 00:25:40,186
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl, which is just weird. By the way,

472
00:25:40,466 --> 00:25:43,866
Speaker 1: don't you think it's what it is? It's the a

473
00:25:43,946 --> 00:25:45,586
Speaker 1: f C S turn. Well, I think they're going to

474
00:25:45,666 --> 00:25:47,946
Speaker 1: get to use their own locker room and the Bengals

475
00:25:47,946 --> 00:25:50,346
Speaker 1: will use the Chargers locker room. That's my best bet.

476
00:25:50,426 --> 00:25:52,866
Speaker 1: I would hope that that would be the case, all right, Mike,

477
00:25:52,866 --> 00:25:59,386
Speaker 1: Another trivia question for you, how many men have won

478
00:25:59,386 --> 00:26:02,706
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl as both a coach and a player?

479
00:26:05,506 --> 00:26:07,626
Speaker 1: I only no one that I can think of, and

480
00:26:07,626 --> 00:26:14,826
Speaker 1: that's Tony Dungee. You are correct, But joining Tony Dungee

481
00:26:14,826 --> 00:26:19,666
Speaker 1: are Tom Flores, Mike Ditka, and Doug Peterson. Oh, that's

482
00:26:19,746 --> 00:26:22,426
Speaker 1: once again a pretty exclusive list. All right, We'll leave

483
00:26:22,426 --> 00:26:25,026
Speaker 1: you with a couple more factoroids about this year's Super

484
00:26:25,066 --> 00:26:28,706
Speaker 1: Bowl between Cincinnati and l A. Sean McVeigh love the

485
00:26:28,746 --> 00:26:32,106
Speaker 1: young guys. Thirty six years and twenty days as of

486
00:26:32,146 --> 00:26:34,786
Speaker 1: Super Bowl Sunday, by the way, will have made the

487
00:26:34,826 --> 00:26:37,946
Speaker 1: two youngest appearances as a head coach in Super Bowl

488
00:26:38,026 --> 00:26:41,866
Speaker 1: history and is the youngest head coach in multiple Super

489
00:26:41,906 --> 00:26:43,626
Speaker 1: Bowls to be able to coach in that game. Now,

490
00:26:43,706 --> 00:26:46,626
Speaker 1: McVeigh can also become the youngest head coach to win

491
00:26:46,706 --> 00:26:48,746
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl. Zach Taylor, by the way, can become

492
00:26:48,786 --> 00:26:51,826
Speaker 1: the second youngest head coach to win a Super Bowl game.

493
00:26:51,906 --> 00:26:53,546
Speaker 1: You know when you see that, Mike, when you see

494
00:26:53,586 --> 00:26:55,546
Speaker 1: this is the first Super Bowl being coached by two

495
00:26:55,546 --> 00:27:00,946
Speaker 1: men under the age of forty stab talk about feeling old.

496
00:27:01,626 --> 00:27:03,786
Speaker 1: I'm kind of with you a little bit, But it does,

497
00:27:03,946 --> 00:27:05,746
Speaker 1: you know, look, I mean, in a lot of ways,

498
00:27:05,826 --> 00:27:09,626
Speaker 1: is it? It also screams to their ability to connect

499
00:27:10,026 --> 00:27:12,306
Speaker 1: with a lot of their players to have this much success.

500
00:27:12,386 --> 00:27:15,706
Speaker 1: So kudos to both of those guys. Yeah, and let's

501
00:27:15,746 --> 00:27:18,186
Speaker 1: talk a little bit more about the Bengals, because three

502
00:27:18,306 --> 00:27:21,466
Speaker 1: years in a row. Prior to this year, they finished

503
00:27:21,506 --> 00:27:24,346
Speaker 1: last in their division and that's been done exactly once

504
00:27:24,386 --> 00:27:29,986
Speaker 1: before by the Bengals in nineteen eight one. And speaking

505
00:27:30,026 --> 00:27:33,106
Speaker 1: of age a d D. Since you threw it out there,

506
00:27:33,106 --> 00:27:34,746
Speaker 1: how about we go on the other side of the spectrum.

507
00:27:34,786 --> 00:27:36,946
Speaker 1: I know we talked about Brady and gave him a

508
00:27:37,026 --> 00:27:40,706
Speaker 1: lot of love the Rams. Andrew Whitworth started a hundred

509
00:27:40,746 --> 00:27:43,666
Speaker 1: and sixty four games for the Bengals from two thousand

510
00:27:43,746 --> 00:27:47,786
Speaker 1: six to be the oldest offensive lineman to start in

511
00:27:47,826 --> 00:27:51,226
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl in NFL history at forty years and

512
00:27:51,346 --> 00:27:53,626
Speaker 1: sixty three days. And it is awesome that he's healthy

513
00:27:53,666 --> 00:27:55,306
Speaker 1: because I know he's been banged up at the end

514
00:27:55,346 --> 00:27:57,746
Speaker 1: of the season. So once again, I think is all

515
00:27:57,826 --> 00:27:59,506
Speaker 1: of us are kind of focused in on this next

516
00:27:59,506 --> 00:28:01,706
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. I know we've covered the commercials and the

517
00:28:02,066 --> 00:28:04,106
Speaker 1: halftime shows, but I think a DD we're going to

518
00:28:04,266 --> 00:28:07,626
Speaker 1: not only get in amazing football game, but we're also

519
00:28:07,626 --> 00:28:10,066
Speaker 1: going to get what I'm going to call the greatest

520
00:28:10,226 --> 00:28:13,826
Speaker 1: halftime show of all time. I don't think there's anyone

521
00:28:13,866 --> 00:28:18,266
Speaker 1: more excited than me. I'm super, super, super excited obviously

522
00:28:18,306 --> 00:28:20,506
Speaker 1: for the product on the field. Can't wait to be

523
00:28:20,586 --> 00:28:25,026
Speaker 1: out there. But yes, halftime show, there is no sense

524
00:28:25,106 --> 00:28:27,946
Speaker 1: of who is this, what's happening? I mean, the league's

525
00:28:28,066 --> 00:28:31,986
Speaker 1: teaser on the halftime show. The two minute video that

526
00:28:32,026 --> 00:28:34,626
Speaker 1: we watched on Twitter got me going, I can't wait,

527
00:28:35,066 --> 00:28:37,186
Speaker 1: I can't wait. I'm with you. Look, I think at

528
00:28:37,186 --> 00:28:39,346
Speaker 1: the end of the day, we're all expecting a ton

529
00:28:39,386 --> 00:28:41,786
Speaker 1: of fanfare. It's kind of cool for us to go

530
00:28:41,866 --> 00:28:44,106
Speaker 1: through some of these records and some of these cool

531
00:28:44,146 --> 00:28:46,386
Speaker 1: little factoids for the game. And I hope some of
