Speaker 4: Darnold since college.

62
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 2: He was at the game obviously in Seattle, Ram Seahawks Wild.

Speaker 2: And then we're gonna have Tracy and Nicky joining the show.

64

Speaker 2: Chris and Martin Wise at the news desk today the

67
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 2: CARMI let's get to Super Bowl sixty. It is set

68
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 2: Patriots in Seahawks. The last time these two teams met

69
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 2: in the Super Bowl twenty fourteen season, the Malcolm Butler

70
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 2: interception that sealed the win.

71
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 3: This should have been Marshall Lntron yea.

72
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 2: Uh huh and uh the Seahawks they are now back

73
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,839
Speaker 2: for the first time since that game. The Patriots back

74
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 2: in the big game for the first time since Tom

75
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 2: Brady in twenty eighteen. And there's a lot of firsts

76
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 2: for these two teams. Obviously Mike raybuls first season as

77
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 2: head coach, Sam Darnold's first season with the Seahawks, and

78
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 2: both these quarterbacks for super Bowls.

79
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 3: It's just like, I mean, this is only this is

80
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 3: only Drake my second.

81
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 5: Season yep, so yes, which is yeah, the the parallels

82
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 5: to and I'm not I'm not going to put this

83
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 5: on the kid, as much as I love him, but

84
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 5: the parallel said, you know who else went to a

85
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 5: Super Bowl in a second season?

86
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 3: Brady Brady with them.

87
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 4: Englenggland Patriots, and then there was like, what a ten

88
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 4: year gap?

89
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 5: No, he won, he won a couple, okay, and then

90
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 5: then there was a little bit of a gap, and

91
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 5: then they won the other three okay, and then he

92
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 5: won his seventh with Tampa.

93
00:03:58,240 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 4: Yeah.

94
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 2: But I remember there being him talking about like, oh,

95
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 2: you don't realize how hard it is to get there

96
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 2: until you don't, and then you got to figure out

97
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 2: how to get back, and then that's your entire, your

98
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 2: entire career.

99
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 4: How do I get back to this moment?

100
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 2: But then you also have like on the opposite end,

101
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 2: like Sam Darnald and the Seahawks. Sam Donald's silencing all

102
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:20,480
Speaker 2: of his doubters this year, like in the most beautiful way.

103
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 2: He is the winningest quarterback the last two seasons on

104
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 2: two different teams, mind you, And he just played the

105
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 2: game of his career in the NFC Championship game and

106
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 2: that was his biggest knock, like on him and his

107
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 2: just him as a player in his career. Could he

108
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 2: win big games that mattered? Because last season with the Vikings,

109
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 2: he lost in Week eighteen, dropped to the five seed

110
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 2: and then lost to the Rams of the first round.

111
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:44,239
Speaker 2: And because of that, the Vikings let him go, which,

112
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 2: as we're learning now, huge mistake. And I think Vikings

113
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,719
Speaker 2: are also realizing a huge mistake. They just fired their GM,

114
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 2: who could have kept Sam, especially since they didn't know

115
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 2: what they were going to have in JJ McCarthy after

116
00:04:57,640 --> 00:04:58,839
Speaker 2: coming off with an injury.

117
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 5: I get that that this is the narrative now, and

118
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 5: I think it's true and I think that that was

119
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 5: the reaction from the Vikings ownership. But I also don't

120
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 5: think it's fair because at the time, like you had

121
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:13,679
Speaker 5: just traded up to get Jaj McCarthy, then he loses

122
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 5: his first season because of injury and you essentially have

123
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 5: to ride with that. Like the Vikings and Quasi for

124
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 5: that matter, made the best possible decision with the information

125
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:28,799
Speaker 5: they had at the time, and now looking back on it,

126
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 5: it's easy to say, well, obviously they should have kept

127
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 5: Sam Donald. At the time, I think a lot of

128
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 5: people were okay with the way that the say that

129
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 5: the Vikings were handling things. Included myself included being like, okay,

130
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 5: Sam Darnald, you like, you're going to cost a lot

131
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 5: more right now.

132
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 3: We can't afford that on.

133
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:46,159
Speaker 5: Top of the fact that we just spent draft capital

134
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 5: to go get who we think is going to be

135
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 5: our quarterback of the future and the plan was there.

136
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,720
Speaker 3: So now that like, and it's not fair that this

137
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 3: is the way it works.

138
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 5: But I mean, I think ownership absolutely sees Sam Donald

139
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 5: in the Super Bowl and said, well, for sure he

140
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:03,600
Speaker 5: could have gotten us to the super Bowl. And that's

141
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 5: so easy to say right now, But it wasn't easy

142
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 5: to say, and it wasn't a really controversial thing last year,

143
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:11,159
Speaker 5: so I was I was kind of surprised at the

144
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 5: timing of everything with Kuaisia Dopamensa, and I think that,

145
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:17,839
Speaker 5: I mean, there's there's myriad reasons there where I think

146
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:19,839
Speaker 5: you could make the case why maybe he should have

147
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:21,920
Speaker 5: been out, But the timing tells me this was a

148
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 5: reactionary thing to seeing Sam Darnold get to Super Bowl.

149
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 2: Which is what we've been seeing a lot with ownership

150
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 2: right now, a lot of actionaryulsive decisions.

151
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,159
Speaker 3: That's been on display this season.

152
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a little wild.

153
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 2: And again, like I can understand both sides, Like if

154
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 2: you're in a win now, like you keep Sam, if

155
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,040
Speaker 2: you're planning for the future in JJ and you want

156
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 2: him to step into that leadership role, it's not going

157
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 2: to help having Sam in the building kind of taking

158
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,039
Speaker 2: over until you're ready. I don't think you'll be able

159
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 2: to step into that full leadership position, but that's a

160
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 2: risk you have to take. Did you believe that Sam

161
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 2: Donald could be where he is right now and could

162
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 2: be the quarterback that he is right now? And a

163
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 2: lot of people did not believe that, and there wasn't

164
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 2: a track record to go off of it.

165
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 4: So that's what I can say. I can't totally blame them.

166
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 2: But then you see the Seahawks who took the risk

167
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 2: and saw that and believed in him, and now he's

168
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 2: in the Super Bowls first year.

169
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 5: It's really funny too that everybody was so quick to say, well,

170
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 5: Sam Darnald can't win big games.

171
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 3: Up until his time with the Vikings, he wasn't really

172
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 3: in big.

173
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 5: Games because he was playing for the New York Jets,

174
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 5: and then it was the backup and it went so

175
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 5: spectacularly wrong, but from so many different levels that you

176
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 5: can't put on Sam. And so to see that all

177
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 5: right in his first year with a competent coach and

178
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 5: a competent staff and a competent team around him, yeah, Okay,

179
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 5: he doesn't it doesn't work out in the biggest moments.

180
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 5: But to then have that be the narrative of Sam

181
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 5: Donald can't win big games in this that the other like,

182
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 5: I was a huge believer. Like even though I thought

183
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 5: that the Vikings made the right decision at the time,

184
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 5: given the investment they had already made in JJ McCarthy,

185
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 5: I was absolutely still a believer that Sam Darnold was

186
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 5: going to do well for the Seattle Seahawks. And there

187
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 5: was some like there was some other moves that the

188
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 5: Seahawks were making where there was some kind of you know,

189
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 5: trading away Cup. You're like, all right, you got Sam Darnald,

190
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 5: but you're not really doing a whole lot to insulate

191
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 5: him with talent and you have Jackson Smith and Jigba

192
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 5: and and you're gonna rely on a defense, I guess.

193
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 5: And that's what they did and that's what worked. But

194
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 5: it was never to me, it was never a question

195
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 5: of can Sam still Like I feel like the Vikings

196
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 5: or maybe it started in San Francisco uncovered and got

197
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 5: Sam back to who he was. But like, he was

198
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:41,960
Speaker 5: a great player in college.

199
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,559
Speaker 4: He was a great player at Parracy.

200
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,080
Speaker 3: So too, and that's the reason that he went as

201
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 3: high as he did in the UNIBA.

202
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:49,679
Speaker 2: Well, so, yeah, let's take a moment to reflect back

203
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 2: on his quarterback first round draft class. Okay, because number

204
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:56,559
Speaker 2: one to the Browns, Baker Mayfield, Number three to the Jets,

205
00:08:56,840 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 2: Sam Tarnold, number seven to the Bills, Josh a, number

206
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 2: ten to the Cards.

207
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:04,320
Speaker 4: Josh Rosen that's obviously didn't work out great.

208
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,320
Speaker 2: Number thirty two to the Ravens Lamar Jackson, so from

209
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 2: his draft class, he will be the first one to

210
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 2: start in a Super Bowl.

211
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, which I think the surprising part of that is

212
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 5: because Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson are both part of

213
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 5: that class.

214
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 4: Well, they're both MVPs.

215
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 3: They're both MVPs.

216
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, and they haven't gotten to But again, this is

217
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 5: a team game, hm, And I also think that it

218
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 5: speaks to you, especially when you're talking about Sam Darnold

219
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 5: and Baker Mayfield, where you cannot just give up on

220
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:36,680
Speaker 5: these guys that inevitably go really tough situations. The benefit

221
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:40,200
Speaker 5: for someone like Lamar Jackson going to the Ravens, by

222
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 5: the way, at thirty two, is because they were they

223
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:45,840
Speaker 5: weren't a great team, they were a great team.

224
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 3: You want to be.

225
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 2: Low in the drift, like I understand, you want that

226
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 2: bonus and those like top ten picks, but that means

227
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 2: you're going to a bad team that is not in

228
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 2: great shape.

229
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:56,960
Speaker 4: If you drop in the draft, you are going to

230
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:57,840
Speaker 4: a great situation.

231
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 5: We cannot keep judging quarterbacks solely on this like we

232
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 5: have to. We have to understand that the environment that

233
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:08,439
Speaker 5: these guys go into has as much to do with

234
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 5: their talent, with like, with their success as their talent does.

235
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 3: No, Like, there is no one that could have gone.

236
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 5: To the Browns in the way in that And honestly,

237
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 5: Baker had some success with the Browns.

238
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 3: He took them to the playoffs at.

239
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:22,320
Speaker 2: The first time in what like thirty It was something

240
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:24,199
Speaker 2: like that, like crazy, crazy.

241
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 5: And I mean they didn't win the game, but like,

242
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 5: but then to have that go spectacularly to pieces just

243
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 5: shows the dysfunction of that organization. Sam Darnold, same thing.

244
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 5: You go to the Jets. It's not a good situation.

245
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:35,560
Speaker 5: It's still not a good situation.

246
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 3: And so to.

247
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 5: Expect these quarterbacks to thrive in these situations just doesn't

248
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 5: make a whole lot of sense. You need to understand

249
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:45,680
Speaker 5: that it has so much to do with the environment

250
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 5: and the team around them, because again, it is the

251
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:52,439
Speaker 5: team game. So that's like, I think we're going to

252
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 5: look back on that class and I hope we learn

253
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 5: lessons from it.

254
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 3: Of you cannot You cannot.

255
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 5: Base your entire evaluation of a guy based on his

256
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:05,200
Speaker 5: first or even second year in the league, or even

257
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:09,359
Speaker 5: his first situation sometimes, especially if they are as dysfunctional

258
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 5: as teams like the Browns and the Jets.

259
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 1: Right.

260
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 2: I mean it's wild when you think about it, right,

261
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 2: because Sam Donald went number three to the Jets and

262
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 2: he didn't really have success until he was technically a

263
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 2: quote backup backup in San Francisco, and then he was

264
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 2: brought in as a backup to the Vikings for JJ

265
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 2: McCarthy who got injured, and then he got the starting role,

266
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 2: had an incredible season and that landed him his starting

267
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:34,320
Speaker 2: quarterback job with the Seahawks, and he is now in

268
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,599
Speaker 2: the super Bowl. So let it be a lesson to everybody,

269
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:40,079
Speaker 2: like block out the noise, don't listen to the doubters

270
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 2: or the haters. You just have to believe in yourself

271
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 2: so much because no one else will, and when you do,

272
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 2: you can reach your dreams.

273
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:49,839
Speaker 4: Sam Donald is now in the super Bowl.

274
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 3: That's the hard part.

275
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 5: Also, I think of this Viking situation where their plan

276
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 5: for JJ was perfect. Their plan understood this because Kevin

277
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 5: O'Connell has been very vocal about saying we teams fail

278
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 5: quarterbacks more than quarterbacks fail teams, and so to that degree,

279
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 5: that's why Sam Donald was there. Sam Donald was always

280
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,960
Speaker 5: going to start the season in that first year. For

281
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 5: JJ McCarthy's first year, that was always going to happen

282
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 5: because they wanted to ease JJ McCarthy into the starting role.

283
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:19,960
Speaker 5: They wanted to ease him. They were playing the long

284
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 5: game with JJ McCarthy, which is exactly what you want

285
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 5: to encourage teams to do. And it's not it's sometimes

286
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 5: it's not the most feasible because of caps restrictions in

287
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 5: this that the other. But I think the plan in

288
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 5: Minnesota was so good to bring in a high end.

289
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 3: High level backup.

290
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 5: And obviously Kevin O'Connell's talking to Kyle Shanahan and everybody

291
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 5: in San Francisco and there they're the ones that are saying, hey,

292
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 5: he can handle this this set the other he's a

293
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 5: high end backup. You bring Sam Donald in, you say,

294
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:50,319
Speaker 5: all right, he's going to start this season for us,

295
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 5: and he's going we're going to ease JJ McCarthy into it.

296
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 5: And so like Sam Donald's not he was he was

297
00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 5: always going to be a bridge. But that's what a

298
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 5: bridge is, right, and that is such a good way

299
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:03,440
Speaker 5: to handle quarterbacks and the fact that it's not working

300
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 5: on Minnesota. I really hope doesn't deter other teams from

301
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 5: doing stuff like that, because we have so much evidence

302
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 5: of quarterbacks who are allowed to sit, who are not

303
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 5: thrust into bad situations, you know, out of desperation and

304
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:20,440
Speaker 5: this that the other that end up being incredible quarterbacks

305
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:22,720
Speaker 5: and have long careers. I mean, you look at Patrick

306
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 5: Mahomes who got to sit for a majority of his

307
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 5: first year and came in, you know, with injury, and

308
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:31,079
Speaker 5: then that year of him getting to learn, or Jordan

309
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 5: Love getting to learn for three years on the roster

310
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 5: under Aaron Rodgers. If you can afford to be patient

311
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 5: with these guys, who should. But it's it's really cool

312
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 5: to see that it paid off for Sam Darnold in

313
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:47,719
Speaker 5: a way that also gets him success, even if it's

314
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 5: not with the team that kind of launched that Ifeah,

315
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 5: that makes sense.

316
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:51,960
Speaker 3: It does.

317
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:52,200
Speaker 6: Well.

318
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:54,319
Speaker 2: Now let's talk about the Patriots, who have the complete

319
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 2: opposite situation with their quarterbacks.

320
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 3: They say, actually, I was scared. I was so scared.

321
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 3: I'm in halfway through last sear insane.

322
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 2: He got turned like, let's just okay, let's start from

323
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:07,679
Speaker 2: the top, right. So this used to be the norm

324
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 2: for the Patriots. They went to nine Super Bowls during

325
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 2: the Brady Belichick dynasty, and their head coach, Mike Rabel,

326
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 2: part of that team, won three rings as a player

327
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 2: in his first season as their head coach, came in,

328
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 2: immediately turned this team around, and they turned Drake May

329
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 2: into an MVP candidate.

330
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 3: I mean a big reason.

331
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 2: I think they brought back Josh McDaniels at their oc.

332
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 2: He was there for the Brady time. He was on

333
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 2: the staff for all six of their Super Bowl wins.

334
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 2: He knows what it takes to be.

335
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 4: The best of the best.

336
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 2: But I think just that winning mentality, that connection, like

337
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 2: Mike Rabel is like the Patriots way. This was the

338
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:47,359
Speaker 2: perfect situation.

339
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 5: Fun about it's fun. Yeah, it's not Bill Belichick at

340
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 5: the podium. I can tell you no one let's and

341
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 5: I adore I adore Rabel for taking the Patriot away

342
00:14:57,800 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 5: and making it fun.

343
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:00,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, like they like.

344
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 5: Practices are still tough and and they're grueling, and he's

345
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 5: very much about the details and the competitive drive and

346
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 5: this that the other.

347
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 3: But if you've ever watched.

348
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 5: Mike Mike Rabil on a practice field, we did joint

349
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 5: practice with him when I was with the Bucks a

350
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 5: couple of times, and if you've ever watched him on

351
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 5: the practice field, he is he's jawn it guys, he's

352
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 5: like hitting.

353
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 3: Him over the helmet.

354
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 5: He's like, I mean you can see it when his

355
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 5: players go to head butt him their helmets on, Like,

356
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 5: this is, this is who he is, and it's so much.

357
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 3: More fun this way. This is. This is the Patriots

358
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 3: team that I don't mind rooting for because I'm.

359
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 4: Like, this is fun interesting, you know.

360
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 5: I also like, I mean, I like, I've liked Rabel

361
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 5: for a very long time as a coach. I love

362
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 5: I've talked about it so many times. I loved Drake.

363
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 4: I know this is I was so.

364
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 5: Scared for him last year, coming in halfway through with

365
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 5: a terrible offensive line.

366
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, because that's where you get hurt. We've seen quarterbacks.

367
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 3: I'm hurt. Sure that they were going to get him killed.

368
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 3: And I'm like, i mean.

369
00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 2: Not just he's gonna get injured. Carmei's like, no, that

370
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 2: was it was hyperbolic. That's what I was concerned about.

371
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 3: It was hyperbolic. But like that's how bad was That's.

372
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:06,640
Speaker 4: How I get it.

373
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 3: That's fair.

374
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 5: It's you're going to ruin this maybe not kill him,

375
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 5: but you're gonna kill his career because he's gonna he's

376
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 5: gonna start seeing it's gonna be Sam Darnold at the

377
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 5: Jets all over again. When you're seeing ghosts and like

378
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 5: you can't. Protection doesn't help hold up me a little

379
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 5: faith though, I should have remembered how how athletic Drake

380
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 5: May is and how he doesn't get the credit for

381
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 5: being as athletic as he is. And he navigated that

382
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 5: first season coming in halfway through, just so incredibly well,

383
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 5: and like he you can see it in his second season,

384
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 5: he doesn't. He doesn't seem like it's his second season.

385
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 5: He's so poised, he's so in command, he's so in control,

386
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 5: and he just it's just I cannot say it about.

387
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 2: Him, Like what a glow up for the Patriots team

388
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 2: in one year under Mike Rabel.

389
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 3: They were so starved of success for long.

390
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 2: You know what, I guess strong franchise and ownership know

391
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 2: how to rebuild, and it took a bit, but they did.

392
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 2: We're gonna take a quick break here when we come back.

393
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:13,399

Speaker 5: Radio and the iHeartRadio app.

427
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 2: All Right, we got to talk about quite possibly the

428
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:45,399
Speaker 2: biggest snub in Hall of Fame history because it was

429
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:52,080
Speaker 2: leaked Bill Belichick will not be a first ballot Hall

430
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 2: of Famer.

431
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 4: You heard that correctly.

432
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:58,639
Speaker 2: Bill Belichick, one of the greatest coaches of all time,

433
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:01,479
Speaker 2: will not be first ballot Hall of Famer. And honestly,

434
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:03,480
Speaker 2: to the media members who did not vote him in,

435
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 2: show your face, because that is an absolute joke. That's

436
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 2: holding a grudge against someone who was one of the

437
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:14,719
Speaker 2: best to ever do it. Real quick, let me just

438
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:19,160
Speaker 2: give you a few of his career accomplishments. Six Super

439
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:20,640
Speaker 2: Bowl wins as a head coach, the most of any

440
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:24,680
Speaker 2: coach of all time. Eight super bowls total, which includes

441
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 2: two as a DC, nine super Bowl appearances as head coach,

442
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,399
Speaker 2: the most of any coach of all time. Thirty one

443
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:34,399
Speaker 2: playoff wins as a head coach, the most in NFL history.

444
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:38,639
Speaker 2: Seventeen division titles the most by any coach in NFL history.

445
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:42,359
Speaker 2: Nine conference championships the most by any head coach in

446
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl era. Thirteen appearances in the Conference championship

447
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:48,440
Speaker 2: the most by a head coach in the Super Bowl era.

448
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:54,440
Speaker 4: Oh, and three time Coach of the Year. Excuse me what?

449
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 2: And if your argument is that, oh, it's because a

450
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:00,880
Speaker 2: spy gay and a flight gate guys, he was winning

451
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:04,400
Speaker 2: super Bowls after that and they lost first round picks,

452
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 2: they paid their fines, and if that's going to be

453
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,680
Speaker 2: the hill that you die on, then you got to

454
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 2: hold this to Tom Brady as well, because he was

455
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 2: on those teams he got suspended for the flake Gate.

456
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 2: Like this is just absolutely mind blowing to me.

457
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:22,399
Speaker 4: Carme.

458
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 5: It's interesting because you know, I look at awards like

459
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,119
Speaker 5: you know, MVP or something like that where you're like,

460
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:34,480
Speaker 5: it's this year is a great example, where it's Drake

461
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 5: may or Matthew Stafford essentially, or like the two guys

462
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:39,920
Speaker 5: that I think it's going to come down to, and

463
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 5: you're like, well, you know, if you look at the numbers,

464
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:46,400
Speaker 5: they're really similar, and like you, you're tempted to take

465
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 5: into account Matthew Stafford's larger body of work, right, and

466
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 5: subsequently you might be you're willing to kind of I

467
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:55,880
Speaker 5: don't know, like discount some of the stuff with Drake

468
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:58,399
Speaker 5: maybe because of his lack of body of work. But

469
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 5: that all it's a season award.

470
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:03,720
Speaker 3: Fine. The Hall of Fame.

471
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:09,679
Speaker 5: Is about every piece of context about a person's career

472
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 5: that you could possibly know and see. And there are

473
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 5: very tangible accolades and awards. Obviously you just listed to them,

474
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:21,679
Speaker 5: alex in Bill Belichick's tenure of.

475
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 3: All time and no matter what has.

476
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 5: Happened in you know, if you talk about spygate, to

477
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:31,719
Speaker 5: talk about Flaygate, or you talk about his very failed

478
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 5: so far experiment at the University of North.

479
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:38,479
Speaker 8: Carolina, so completely differently, it's that that is not something

480
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 8: that you take into account because that is not his

481
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 8: NFL tenure, and so to not I keep seeing the sentiment.

482
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 3: Just go over you know, around social media, where.

483
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 5: I'm just like, if not Bill, then who who is

484
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,480
Speaker 5: a first ballot Hall of Famer? If Bill Belichick isn't

485
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:57,960
Speaker 5: a first ballot Hall of Famer, because again, if you're

486
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:00,640
Speaker 5: going to say that all of this, all of these,

487
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:04,959
Speaker 5: you know you evaluate the case based on, you know,

488
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 5: this criteria Bill, Like.

489
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 3: It just blows it all out of the water, I think.

490
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 5: And a friend of mine, Courtney Cronin, who writes for ESPN,

491
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 5: she pointed this out a couple of days ago, where

492
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:20,640
Speaker 5: she's like, I think it's time that we now get

493
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:24,640
Speaker 5: some transparency when it comes to who is voting, when

494
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:28,400
Speaker 5: they're voting, why they're voting, and what the criteria is

495
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:32,400
Speaker 5: being that's being used to determine that vote.

496
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:34,640
Speaker 4: It's this was a grudge move.

497
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 5: I mean I has like because I also think that

498
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 5: I also think there should be I think it's Courtney

499
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:44,240
Speaker 5: Brothers up to the should be term limits as to

500
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 5: how long it can be a Hall of Fame voter.

501
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:49,440
Speaker 3: I like, like you can just.

502
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 5: Because then that gives you that if it is a

503
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 5: grudge thing, h I mean, Bill's been in the league,

504
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 5: was in the league for so long that like, guys

505
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 5: that have had nothing to do with football for twenty

506
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:04,000
Speaker 5: years are voting on this candidacy and they're holding grudges

507
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:05,480
Speaker 5: from them, and you're just like.

508
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:09,199
Speaker 3: Is that really should we be should we be allowing that?

509
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:11,240
Speaker 4: Yeah?

510
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 5: So I think that there there needs to be an

511
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 5: overhaul to the entire process. And I and I'm wondering

512
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:20,080
Speaker 5: the outcry from this was not small. So when especially

513
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 5: when like the court of public opinion is so one

514
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:25,240
Speaker 5: sided in this, Like I don't think any I've not

515
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 5: seen one person argue like I think Mike Sando of

516
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 5: the Athletic actually like detailed how this could have possibly happened,

517
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:34,640
Speaker 5: and it was like, you know, the the oh, well,

518
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 5: he's going to get in, so why is it whatever?

519
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 3: What?

520
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, Like that was like that was apparently one of

521
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 5: the reasons why like this this even happened was people

522
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:44,399
Speaker 5: were like, well, he's going to get in, so we

523
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 5: don't have to vote for him this year. Let's vote

524
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:47,280
Speaker 5: for other people that have been waiting.

525
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:49,480
Speaker 4: That is to get insane.

526
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:53,080
Speaker 5: But there is there's a backlog at multiple positions, and

527
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 5: like there's a whole backlog of guys that haven't gotten

528
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 5: into the Hall of Fame yet that absolutely deserve to.

529
00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 5: But being a first ballot Hall of Famer means something,

530
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 5: and there is no better example of that. When you

531
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 5: talk about a track record Accolade's career than Bill Belichick.

532
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 5: So I think the public outcry from all of this

533
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:17,119
Speaker 5: will maybe get some changes made to the Hall of

534
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:18,520
Speaker 5: Fame Boom because.

535
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:18,719
Speaker 3: It needs it.

536
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:23,200
Speaker 5: I hate it's that outdated way of doing things.

537
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 4: Mind blowing, like that is a joke, show your face.

538
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 5: There are there are a ton of guys that are

539
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 5: waiting to get in, and I get that. But to

540
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:33,119
Speaker 5: deny a guy being a first ballot Hall of Famer

541
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 5: because you want to, you know, like get down on

542
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 5: the like you want to get to other guys that

543
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 5: have been waiting, No.

544
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:43,240
Speaker 4: No, and he is like literally one of the greatest

545
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:43,640
Speaker 4: of all time.

546
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 3: He's the most qualified, most coach to.

547
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:48,320
Speaker 2: Be a first ballot Hall of famersand percent it's insane. Okay,

548
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 2: let's check you with Martin Wise and see what's trending.

549
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 9: Paul George has been suspended without paying for twenty five

550
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 9: games for violating the NBA's anti drug policy. George will

551
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,440
Speaker 9: a leash his statement saying he took an improper medication

552
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:04,480
Speaker 9: while seeking treatment for his mental health.

553
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 6: Former Broncos defensive.

554
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:08,399
Speaker 9: Pass game coordinator Jim Leonard has been tired as the

555
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:12,080
Speaker 9: Bill's new defensive coordinator. New York Giants co owner Steve

556
00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:14,639
Speaker 9: Tisch has been named in the latest Epstein files dropped.

557
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 9: His name appears four hundred and forty times among the

558
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 9: recent release documents. Released a statement yesterday saying that quote,

559
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:24,680
Speaker 9: we had a brief association where we exchanged emails about

560
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:28,160
Speaker 9: adult women. In addition, we discussed movies, philanthropy, and investments.

561
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 9: I did not take him up on any of his invitations,

562
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:33,640
Speaker 9: never went to his island, and as we all know now,

563
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 9: he was a terrible person and someone I deeply regret

564
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:40,000
Speaker 9: associating with. In the NBA, the Hornets beat the Spurs

565
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:42,640
Speaker 9: one eleven to one oh six. Brandon Miller had twenty

566
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 9: six points. Men's college basketball, Arizona remains undefeated, beating Arizona

567
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 9: State in eighty seven to seventy four.

568
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:51,240
Speaker 6: UCF upset Texas.

569
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:53,960
Speaker 9: Tech eighty eight to eighty and wins for Louisville, Duke

570
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 9: and Houston in the top twenty five.

571
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 6: Ladies.

Speaker 2: the NFC Championship game. Has been covering Sam Donald since's

577
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:12,840
Speaker 2: USC days. Please welcome the founder and CEO of The

578

Speaker 4: Thanks for joining the show.

580
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 10: Thanks for having me.

581
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 2: Now let's talk about that game in Seattle last Sunday

582
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:25,000
Speaker 2: lived up to the hype and this Seahawks group that's

583
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:27,320
Speaker 2: really been one of the more complete teams this season

584
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 2: was on full display in that NFC Championship when how

585
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:34,560
Speaker 2: impressed were you and have been with the Seahawks team

586
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:35,200
Speaker 2: all year?

587
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 10: Really a lot, you know, I mean I was at

588
00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 10: that previous Seahawks and Rams game where you really get

589
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:45,959
Speaker 10: to see unfull display off in the season. Yeah, special teams,

590
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 10: But really what impress me in the Conference championship game

591
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:52,240
Speaker 10: was that Sam Donald won that game.

592
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 11: You know.

593
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:54,879
Speaker 10: You know, I think a lot of the success that

594
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 10: the Seahawks have had, he's I don't want to think

595
00:26:58,080 --> 00:26:59,880
Speaker 10: he's been along for the ride, but I mean he

596
00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:02,399
Speaker 10: he's been a good game manager. I think he was

597
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:05,880
Speaker 10: more than that in the Conference championship game, which has

598
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 10: to make you feel good. So yeah, I mean just

599
00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:11,200
Speaker 10: I mean they've been the most complete team someone who

600
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:13,919
Speaker 10: covers the Rams. I was hoping that they would have

601
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 10: a better showing, but they've really struggled. I think being

602
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 10: a complete team sous to the Rams.

603
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 5: The like Mike McDonald what he's been able to do

604
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 5: in Seattle over the last two years. And it's a

605
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:33,960
Speaker 5: recipe that we've seen before, which is the quarterback who's

606
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:38,399
Speaker 5: a good quarterback benefited with a dominating.

607
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:38,880
Speaker 3: All world defense.

608
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 5: And I would love to get your perspective just kind

609
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:45,440
Speaker 5: of on how much a defense like that has meant

610
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:49,280
Speaker 5: to Sam Donald's continued improvement, especially this year in Seattle.

611
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:52,720
Speaker 10: It's been huge because I think he knows he doesn't

612
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:55,120
Speaker 10: have to win the game. Again, if the game's there

613
00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 10: for him to win. Sam Donald, like you said, I mean,

614
00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:00,800
Speaker 10: I've covered him since high school and college. In my mind,

615
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:03,359
Speaker 10: he has that capability. But with a defense like this,

616
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:06,239
Speaker 10: any special teams like this, he knows he doesn't have

617
00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:07,760
Speaker 10: to do it all on his own. So when you

618
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:11,399
Speaker 10: have a defense like the Seahawks, it's like hey, like

619
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:14,399
Speaker 10: like like, well, let me just stay within the you

620
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:17,800
Speaker 10: know what I know I can do. And by the way,

621
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 10: this is like the second year he's done that with

622
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 10: a team where won thirteen fourteen games. Uh, that's that's

623
00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:27,719
Speaker 10: really a testament to Sam, you know, not putting his

624
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 10: team in a tough spot, not throwing a pick six,

625
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 10: not getting sacked, and having enough fumble. He knows how

626
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:33,920
Speaker 10: to win.

627
00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:36,679
Speaker 2: Now, as you just said, you've been covering Sam Donald.

628
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 2: I didn't realize since high school and then at USC.

629
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:42,840
Speaker 2: Now he is the first USC quarterback to start in

630
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:45,400
Speaker 2: a Super Bowl. How have you seen him grow over

631
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:48,080
Speaker 2: the years, not just as a player, but as a person.

632
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:52,800
Speaker 10: The person is really the most impressive during his pro

633
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:55,719
Speaker 10: football run. You know, I caught up with him in

634
00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 10: the last few bowl he was in as a backup

635
00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:00,200
Speaker 10: quarterback with San Francis. So he said, looks and I've

636
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:02,400
Speaker 10: learned a lot about myself. You know, I've learned to

637
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:05,200
Speaker 10: be a good backup. I've learned to be a good teammate.

638
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 10: I mean, you're talking about a quarterback that ten years ago,

639
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:11,600
Speaker 10: quarterback UFC against Penn State in the Rose Bowl. You know,

640
00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 10: was viewed as as you know, one of the top

641
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:16,959
Speaker 10: quarterback prospects coming out of the draft, and so you know,

642
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 10: for a quarterback like that to not get down on

643
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:23,200
Speaker 10: himself and no, you know, from the time with the

644
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:26,239
Speaker 10: Jets to going to Carolina and then being a backup, like,

645
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 10: you know, I'm going to get my chance at some point,

646
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 10: and even when he got that chance with the Vikings,

647
00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:33,640
Speaker 10: where like the Vikers really kind of embraced them, and

648
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:35,160
Speaker 10: you look at him at the end of the season

649
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:38,200
Speaker 10: where they you know, they they really gave him a

650
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:41,320
Speaker 10: lot of credit. Tough loss of the Rams in the playoffs,

651
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:43,200
Speaker 10: and then he's looking for a job and then Seattle

652
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:46,120
Speaker 10: once again given him a chance to be that quarterback

653
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:49,040
Speaker 10: in the Seahawks have done the same thing again. He

654
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 10: is such a great locker room guy. You talk to

655
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 10: his teammates, they love him as their quarterbacks.

656
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:58,719
Speaker 5: What was that kind of I mean, you have all

657
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:01,560
Speaker 5: the success that you see if you're Sam Darnold and

658
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:04,080
Speaker 5: you're on top of the world and you get drafted

659
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:07,320
Speaker 5: in the top three, you go to the New York Jetsikes,

660
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:10,360
Speaker 5: and it's just I feel like it's such a reality check.

661
00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:13,760
Speaker 5: What do you remember from that time of covering Sam,

662
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 5: specifically of going from successful college career to the depths

663
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 5: of the NFL and and like bouncing back from that,

664
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:25,880
Speaker 5: because that's not easy.

665
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 10: Yeah, you know when something like that happens. I mean

666
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 10: you do wonder like is it the system, is it

667
00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:33,520
Speaker 10: the team, or is it the quarterback? Because you you,

668
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 10: Sam just looked like such a can't miss pro prospect

669
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:42,600
Speaker 10: that I was really surprised at his difficulties. He talked

670
00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:44,760
Speaker 10: about seeing ghosts when he was going up against like

671
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:47,840
Speaker 10: the Patriots, the old Patriots, seems when he was with

672
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:50,440
Speaker 10: the Jets. So you know when that happens, and then

673
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 10: he goes to Carolina and you're like, you know, like

674
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:56,000
Speaker 10: that is this going to be Sam's career? Which, by

675
00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:57,640
Speaker 10: the way, I mean the reason that he is the

676
00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:00,600
Speaker 10: first USC quarterback to start in the Troper Bowl. USC

677
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:04,480
Speaker 10: has had an amazing track record of quarterbacks being drafted,

678
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:08,400
Speaker 10: but none of them have really reached the heights, you know,

679
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:13,360
Speaker 10: the Most Valuable Player or the Super Bowl quarterback. So yeah,

680
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:16,040
Speaker 10: when you go through that struggles, I'm thinking him maybe

681
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:19,720
Speaker 10: just he's just a good quarterback. Maybe he's you know,

682
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:24,080
Speaker 10: not a great quarterback. Maybe he's a backup. And then

683
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:25,720
Speaker 10: that's to be honest, Carmen, that's what I thought a

684
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:27,240
Speaker 10: couple of years. You know, when he's in San Francisco,

685
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 10: you know what this isn't what I thought he'd be,

686
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:32,000
Speaker 10: But he's in the super Bowl. He's a good backup.

687
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:34,600
Speaker 10: He made like him. But seeing them these last couple

688
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:36,400
Speaker 10: of years have been so happy for him. To have

689
00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:39,280
Speaker 10: him get his shine, have him get his moment, He's

690
00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:40,720
Speaker 10: been really cool to see.

691
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:43,440
Speaker 2: Now looking ahead to the Super Bowl, the Seahawks defense

692
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:46,800
Speaker 2: has been dominant all season, giving them the nickname the

693
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:49,480
Speaker 2: dark Side. So what is Drake May gonna have to

694
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 2: do to be able to score some points on this group?

695
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 10: It's gonna be very difficult to get a lot of

696
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:57,000
Speaker 10: people have kind of touched on it as they kind

697
00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:59,360
Speaker 10: of break down the Patriots season when you just look at,

698
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 10: you know, not having to go up against a breaking

699
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:06,240
Speaker 10: difficult schedule, having like an easy pathway. All that said,

700
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:08,080
Speaker 10: I mean, this is, without a doubt, not only are

701
00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:09,720
Speaker 10: the best defense in my view, in the league, but

702
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 10: certainly the best defense that Drake May has seen. So

703
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:14,880
Speaker 10: I mean, he's, you know, he is the most viable

704
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:17,920
Speaker 10: player candidate. He'll he'll be right behind at the stafford,

705
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:20,320
Speaker 10: I believe in the final voting. But yeah, he's not

706
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:22,520
Speaker 10: played a defense like this, So I'm gonna be really

707
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:24,920
Speaker 10: curious to see how he played that thing said he

708
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:27,680
Speaker 10: can't not drake me again. I know a lot of

709
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:30,080
Speaker 10: people want to find a point to their schedule, points

710
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:33,360
Speaker 10: as their pathway. He's gone here because he is a

711
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:35,600
Speaker 10: superstar in this league. And again for him to get

712
00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:38,479
Speaker 10: to this point in the second year, you know against

713
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:40,719
Speaker 10: the PA, the Patriots are back here less sooner than

714
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:44,080
Speaker 10: a lot of people thought. So I don't have Breake

715
00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:46,280
Speaker 10: to Maye looking particularly well in this rule. I do

716
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:49,280
Speaker 10: have the Seahawks winning, but that's no knock on Drake

717
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:51,040
Speaker 10: me because they'll get a lot of quarterbacks to not

718
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:53,360
Speaker 10: look good against the Seahawks this season.

719
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:56,240
Speaker 5: Well, and for all of the stuff that we've talked

720
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 5: about with the Seahawks defense, which has been dominant, which

721
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:01,800
Speaker 5: has argued been the best in the league outside of

722
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:04,040
Speaker 5: maybe Denver, I think those two buy for the top

723
00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:08,120
Speaker 5: two defenses in the league this year. Patriots are they're

724
00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:13,240
Speaker 5: They're coming, and Big Mike Rabel defensive guy has really

725
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 5: I feel like this defense as the season has gone on,

726
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:19,360
Speaker 5: has gotten so much better. There's been They've been brought

727
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:22,400
Speaker 5: so much more pressure, they looked so much more complete,

728
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:25,680
Speaker 5: and then you get to the playoffs and this is a.

729
00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:28,160
Speaker 5: This is a unit that's playing very, very well. So

730
00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:30,480
Speaker 5: what is Sam Darnold going to have to do against

731
00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:33,440
Speaker 5: this Patriots defense that is going to come after him?

732
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 5: And I don't know, is he going to see ghosts

733
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:36,959
Speaker 5: again against these guys.

734
00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:37,400
Speaker 12: No.

735
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:39,960
Speaker 10: It's a great point because listen, I think what what

736
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:42,640
Speaker 10: you know Sam is very good at is not having

737
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:45,200
Speaker 10: a CJ. Stroud game where he's not gonna turn the

738
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:48,920
Speaker 10: ball over, you know, four or five times. But to

739
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:51,760
Speaker 10: your point, like, that's what the Patriots can do. So

740
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:53,960
Speaker 10: like when I look at this game and like, how

741
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:56,840
Speaker 10: can the Patriots win, it's the Patriots defense kind of

742
00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:58,920
Speaker 10: doing what they've done this season, doing what they've done

743
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:02,200
Speaker 10: in the postseason, and putting Drake and the offense in

744
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:04,520
Speaker 10: a position where they don't have to start up the

745
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:06,880
Speaker 10: twenty yard line. You know, they get a turnover, they

746
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:09,799
Speaker 10: get the ball back, maybe did they score. So I mean,

747
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 10: if the Patriots are to win this game, I believe

748
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:14,759
Speaker 10: it's because the Patriots defense found a way to get

749
00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:17,239
Speaker 10: to Sam Donald. Maybe they cause the fumble, maybe they

750
00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:20,520
Speaker 10: got a pick six, maybe something happened in that situation.

751
00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:23,200
Speaker 10: Because you know what, you're one hundred percent right. The

752
00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:25,160
Speaker 10: Patriots defense to get a lot of stock is going

753
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:28,080
Speaker 10: to be about the Seahawks defense. The reason that the

754
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:30,520
Speaker 10: New England Patriots are back in this game. No disrespect

755
00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:32,719
Speaker 10: to Drake Nate is the way this defense is playing

756
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:33,200
Speaker 10: right now.

757
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:35,719
Speaker 4: We're so excited for this, Roshia. Are we going to

Speaker 3: Yeah.

784
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:37,000
Speaker 5: My hot take is, or maybe it's my cold take,

785
00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:40,600
Speaker 5: is that I love this like it's it's January thirty four.

786
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:42,160
Speaker 3: It should be twenty one degree.

787
00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:44,440
Speaker 4: It's your home, it's your hometown, it's my home.

788
00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:45,600
Speaker 3: It makes mess too.

790
00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:50,440

791
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:52,600
Speaker 2: me mad, so I would make I'm obviously at the beach.

792
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:55,080
Speaker 2: It's seventy at the beach, which is like, that's my vibe.

793
00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:58,359
Speaker 3: But yeah, no, where is that eighty?

794
00:35:58,400 --> 00:35:59,920
Speaker 4: Where the valley is eighty two degrees.

00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:16,120
Speaker 5: was winter and it's eighty degrees.

802
00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:19,160
Speaker 3: And I'm like, no, this is not right. Nope, I

814
00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:44,880
Speaker 4: All right, I'm gonna start with the DW do always

815
00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:45,480
Speaker 4: be yourself.

816
00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:48,760
Speaker 2: Mike McDaniel was officially announced as the Chargers offensive coordinator

817
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:51,400
Speaker 2: this week, and his presser and media day he.

818
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:54,360
Speaker 4: Did the social team was just like Chef's kiss Gold.

819
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:57,359
Speaker 2: They announced him by him sitting at a table and

820
00:36:57,400 --> 00:37:01,280
Speaker 2: it's like pulling out fan questions out of jar and

821
00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 2: is like one of the first thing he says to

822
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:08,600
Speaker 2: the camera officially as the Chargers offensive coordinator is this

823
00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:10,560
Speaker 2: isn't going to be a vape question, is it?

824
00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:12,919
Speaker 4: I know how you guys roll, And.

825
00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:15,760
Speaker 2: Then he just says up a Mike McDaniel offensive coordinator

826
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:18,239
Speaker 2: of the Chargers, and then it just like goes to

827
00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:21,640
Speaker 2: like the side smart emoji, which was hilarious. He also

828
00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:25,000
Speaker 2: shared his morning routine which he said, I wake up,

829
00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:27,080
Speaker 2: I open my eyes, and then I go. He said,

830
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:29,680
Speaker 2: I also have to do a lot, so I specifically

831
00:37:29,719 --> 00:37:31,600
Speaker 2: get up early at the three or four am to

832
00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:35,080
Speaker 2: do everything I need to do that's not human interaction,

833
00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:38,560
Speaker 2: which is mainly cerebral work. So I'm not a weirdo

834
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:41,560
Speaker 2: when I enter the building and I can engage in

835
00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:43,040
Speaker 2: add value.

836
00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:45,960
Speaker 5: You'd be surprised how many coaches that's the reason they

837
00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:47,000
Speaker 5: get in so early.

838
00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:50,239
Speaker 3: It's because they're just like, I don't want to be bothered. Yeah,

839
00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:50,640
Speaker 3: I want to.

840
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:52,560
Speaker 5: Get some work done before people are coming in and

841
00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:53,919
Speaker 5: out of my office all the time, all day.

842
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:55,800
Speaker 3: Why I've heard that. I've heard that from multiple coaches.

843
00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:59,320
Speaker 5: Why the pairing more than the pairing of Mike McDaniel

844
00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:01,720
Speaker 5: and Justin Herbert. I love the pairing of the Chargers

845
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:03,240
Speaker 5: social team and Mike mcdanill.

846
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:03,840
Speaker 4: It's insane.

847
00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:07,239
Speaker 2: I mean, Chargers pressers are going to be gold next year. Also,

848
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:10,080
Speaker 2: like hard Knocks, get on this, like, I mean, do

849
00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:12,400
Speaker 2: the Chargers behind the scenes.

850
00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:14,440
Speaker 5: Look more than the Pressers? The Charger social team is

851
00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:17,600
Speaker 5: known league wide. Oh yeah, off the wall, so really

852
00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:18,600
Speaker 5: excited for them.

853
00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:19,040
Speaker 3: To do stuff.

854
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:20,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, it'd be great.

855
00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:22,839
Speaker 5: This is kind of it's a subject that is brought

856
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:24,920
Speaker 5: up in the update, so it's not the most fun

857
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:26,000
Speaker 5: subject to talk about.

858
00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:28,960
Speaker 3: But I'm going to do another angle on this.

859
00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:34,000
Speaker 5: So Giants owner Adam Tish, named in the Epstein files,

860
00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:39,000
Speaker 5: do something about this NFL before Goodell's presser next week.

861
00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:42,239
Speaker 5: Because Roger Goodell holds a State of the Union at

862
00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:45,399
Speaker 5: address about the league where anything and everything is fair

863
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:47,000
Speaker 5: game to ask him, and he does it at super

864
00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:47,839
Speaker 5: Bowl week every year.

865
00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:51,160
Speaker 3: That is going to happen next week. You can save yourself.

866
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:52,759
Speaker 5: A lot, NFL if you just do the right thing,

867
00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:54,560
Speaker 5: and you do it now, and you do it before

868
00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:59,200
Speaker 5: that press conference. So do something about this. Get him

869
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:01,640
Speaker 5: out of the league in some way, shape or form. Yeah,

870
00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:05,200
Speaker 5: wrote the book at him. There's no place for any

871
00:39:05,239 --> 00:39:08,120
Speaker 5: involvement in that kind of stuff in the NFL.

872
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:08,960
Speaker 3: They're just the same.

873
00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:11,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, So that kind of goes with my next Do

874
00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:15,120
Speaker 2: do the right thing and support your city. Shout out

875
00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:18,640
Speaker 2: to the Minnesota Timberwolves for handling the situation in their

876
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:20,920
Speaker 2: city the best they can. Rescheduling games to make sure

877
00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:23,280
Speaker 2: it's safer fans, and then they've all been wearing stand

878
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:26,239
Speaker 2: with Minnesota during warmups. My heart goes out to every

879
00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:31,240
Speaker 2: single person in Minnesota right now, but just unfathomable situation

880
00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:35,080
Speaker 2: that they have to continue to play is foreign while

881
00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:36,080
Speaker 2: all of this is going on.

882
00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:41,080
Speaker 5: I especially appreciate that it's not only Minnesota Timberwolves players

883
00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:42,920
Speaker 5: that are coming out and saying this stuff. I mean,

884
00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:45,359
Speaker 5: you heard Victor women Yama yep come out and say

885
00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:47,400
Speaker 5: He's like, I know that I'm a foreigner, yep, but

886
00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:51,120
Speaker 5: this isn't okay. You don't have to be from here

887
00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:54,520
Speaker 5: or not from here to realize that what's happening is

888
00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:58,560
Speaker 5: not okay. In the overreach that is happening is my

889
00:39:58,600 --> 00:40:00,799
Speaker 5: parents are protesting today, which was pretty sick.

890
00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:03,960
Speaker 3: I know, like they were. They live in.

891
00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:07,759
Speaker 4: Florida too, so yeah, like it matters there too.

892
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:10,640
Speaker 3: But I really, I really appreciated.

893
00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:15,239
Speaker 5: Hearing from multiple athletes and people using their platform to

894
00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:18,840
Speaker 5: talk about this because we cannot let it just get swept.

Speaker 2: the next eight days because that's just what it is.

938
00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:30,040
Speaker 2: We are in that two week Super Bowl window where

939
00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:32,959

00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:39,440
Speaker 2: We also talked about the Bill Belichick snubbed by the

00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:39,959
Speaker 2: Hall of Fame.

943
00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:44,279
Speaker 4: Insane. So we're going to kick off this hour.

00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:54,000
Speaker 4: Are you going?

947
00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:58,680
Speaker 5: No, I'm not going. Okay, but it'll be fun regardless.

948
00:42:58,719 --> 00:43:01,880
Speaker 5: I'm I'm selfishly excited because there is a new award

949
00:43:01,960 --> 00:43:02,319
Speaker 5: this year.

950
00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:08,239
Speaker 3: I know you, we are finally acknowledging the big sex

951
00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:08,680
Speaker 3: is up.

952
00:43:10,160 --> 00:43:15,560
Speaker 5: The offensive line, the protector of you know, it's it's

953
00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:19,279
Speaker 5: overall offensive line. Yea, given that you know, tackles and

954
00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:22,480
Speaker 5: guards and centers are all wildly different. Yeah, different reasons,

955
00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:24,399
Speaker 5: but hey, I will take what I can get right now.

956
00:43:25,200 --> 00:43:27,160
Speaker 5: And the fact that we're getting some acknowledgment as to

957
00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:32,040
Speaker 5: these guys and how much they matter to teams overall success,

958
00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:32,720
Speaker 5: I'm so excited.

959
00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:35,480
Speaker 2: I mean, we see it firsthand. We see it firsthand

960
00:43:35,480 --> 00:43:40,640
Speaker 2: when their protection is gone. So yeah, deserved. So let's start.

961
00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:43,320
Speaker 2: Let's start at the top here. Okay, We're going to

962
00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:45,960
Speaker 2: go through and then Carmee and I are going to

963
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:52,040
Speaker 2: give our picks that we think should win this award. Okay, Okay, MVP,

964
00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:57,840
Speaker 2: I am going to go My MVP is Matthew Stafford.

965
00:43:58,640 --> 00:44:01,759
Speaker 2: Not only did this man start the preseason banged up,

966
00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:04,080
Speaker 2: there was a moment where we were questioning how much

967
00:44:04,080 --> 00:44:06,239
Speaker 2: he had left in the tank when the Rams were

968
00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:10,400
Speaker 2: reconstructing his contract, and then he ended his season with

969
00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:12,840
Speaker 2: some of the best stats in the league at the

970
00:44:12,920 --> 00:44:15,560
Speaker 2: ripe age of thirty seven. He'll be thirty eight next week,

971
00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:20,360
Speaker 2: and this was one of his best seasons of his career.

972
00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:23,040
Speaker 2: He was number one in passing yards, passing touchdowns. He

973
00:44:23,120 --> 00:44:25,040
Speaker 2: had the number one scoring offense. He was number two

974
00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:26,919
Speaker 2: and passer rating, just behind Drake May, who I think

975
00:44:27,200 --> 00:44:29,600
Speaker 2: they're the one two favorite, and.

976
00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:32,160
Speaker 4: He willed his team to a lot of those wins.

977
00:44:32,239 --> 00:44:35,400
Speaker 2: Yes, he had a couple off games towards the end

978
00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:39,560
Speaker 2: of the season, but he is He is my MVP

979
00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:40,160
Speaker 2: this season.

980
00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:44,680
Speaker 3: Drake May. I've talked about this quite a bit, Letska.

981
00:44:45,840 --> 00:44:48,320
Speaker 5: When I was diving into everything and kind of looking

982
00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:51,839
Speaker 5: and again, I'm not against Matthew Stafford winning this award,

983
00:44:52,600 --> 00:44:55,279
Speaker 5: but when I was looking at their numbers, a lot

984
00:44:55,320 --> 00:44:59,719
Speaker 5: of them are very similar, right, and then so I

985
00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:02,319
Speaker 5: needed to go one level below that, and essentially what

986
00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:05,239
Speaker 5: I found was Drake May's offensive line is just not

987
00:45:05,280 --> 00:45:07,600
Speaker 5: as good as Matthew Stafford's offensive line. Therefore, Drake May

988
00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:09,799
Speaker 5: was under pressure a lot more than Matthew Stafford was.

989
00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:12,279
Speaker 5: And I know that there is the you know, the

990
00:45:12,640 --> 00:45:15,680
Speaker 5: talk about how Drake May got to play not as

991
00:45:15,719 --> 00:45:17,920
Speaker 5: good teams. Yes, but if you break that down by

992
00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:21,760
Speaker 5: defense specifically, that argument goes out the window. He played

993
00:45:22,200 --> 00:45:26,000
Speaker 5: some very very good defenses this year and again was

994
00:45:26,120 --> 00:45:28,560
Speaker 5: under more pressure and was still able to come up

995
00:45:28,600 --> 00:45:32,040
Speaker 5: with very similar numbers to Matthew Stafford. So I get

996
00:45:32,040 --> 00:45:34,480
Speaker 5: the hesitation if you know, he's like, it's second ear

997
00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:36,200
Speaker 5: in the league. You don't know what's gonna happen next year?

998
00:45:36,239 --> 00:45:39,719
Speaker 5: Bah bah, we don't. We don't do do trust Drake

999
00:45:39,760 --> 00:45:42,400
Speaker 5: May because like whatever, But it is a season award.

1000
00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:45,479
Speaker 5: It is for this season, and to me, what Drake

1001
00:45:45,480 --> 00:45:49,319
Speaker 5: May was able to do is just incredibly impressive and

1002
00:45:49,360 --> 00:45:51,040
Speaker 5: I think that that deserves recognition.

1003
00:45:51,080 --> 00:45:54,359
Speaker 3: But again, if Matthew Stafford wins it, that's fine too. Yeah.

1004
00:45:54,719 --> 00:45:57,480
Speaker 3: I think between the two of them, if the.

1005
00:45:57,440 --> 00:45:58,840
Speaker 2: Way I look at it, when it comes down to

1006
00:45:58,840 --> 00:46:02,480
Speaker 2: when you're that close last minute of a game, you

1007
00:46:02,560 --> 00:46:04,560
Speaker 2: have to make a drive down the field, and who

1008
00:46:05,200 --> 00:46:08,160
Speaker 2: which one of these two guys do you trust to

1009
00:46:08,200 --> 00:46:11,360
Speaker 2: make that happen after having both had incredible seasons with

1010
00:46:11,440 --> 00:46:14,200
Speaker 2: numbers that are as you said, neck and neck, Who

1011
00:46:14,239 --> 00:46:16,360
Speaker 2: do you trust? Who is your MVP that's going to

1012
00:46:16,400 --> 00:46:17,960
Speaker 2: get it done? And I'm going to say Matthew Stafford

1013
00:46:17,960 --> 00:46:19,840
Speaker 2: because we saw him do it and that's what he does.

1014
00:46:20,239 --> 00:46:21,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, it just depends on how you look at the

1015
00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:21,799
Speaker 3: A word.

1016
00:46:22,040 --> 00:46:23,839
Speaker 4: So it does, all right.

1017
00:46:23,880 --> 00:46:26,759
Speaker 2: So let's move to what is kind of become like

1018
00:46:27,719 --> 00:46:31,520
Speaker 2: what the MVP adjacent award, The Offensive Player of the Year.

1019
00:46:31,680 --> 00:46:33,680
Speaker 3: MVP is a quarterback award. That's what it is. Now,

1020
00:46:33,719 --> 00:46:37,040
Speaker 3: it's a quarterback award. So now this is like.

1021
00:46:37,120 --> 00:46:41,239
Speaker 2: The other MVP the MVP part two is okay, it's

1022
00:46:41,239 --> 00:46:43,839
Speaker 2: a player, which is interesting because Drake may is in

1023
00:46:43,880 --> 00:46:49,000
Speaker 2: this kind of category as well. And then you have

1024
00:46:49,080 --> 00:46:54,279
Speaker 2: Christian McCaffrey, puknakua be John Robinson JSN.

1025
00:46:54,480 --> 00:46:55,920
Speaker 4: So there's.

1026
00:46:57,480 --> 00:46:58,640
Speaker 3: Can I add another name to that?

1027
00:46:58,840 --> 00:47:06,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, Tech McMillan in Carolina, Yeah he I mean the

1028
00:47:06,040 --> 00:47:09,279
Speaker 5: Carolina Panthers, especially towards the end of the season, came

1029
00:47:09,320 --> 00:47:11,600
Speaker 5: on relatively out of nowhere.

1030
00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:15,160
Speaker 3: I mean, they were right in the mix and they

1031
00:47:15,239 --> 00:47:16,520
Speaker 3: ended up winning the NFC South.

1032
00:47:17,080 --> 00:47:22,799
Speaker 2: So is he Is he your Offensive Player of the Year. Yeah, okay,

1033
00:47:23,160 --> 00:47:24,279
Speaker 2: go go off girl.

1034
00:47:24,360 --> 00:47:26,839
Speaker 5: I just like it doesn't it doesn't happen if Bryce

1035
00:47:26,880 --> 00:47:28,920
Speaker 5: Young doesn't have somebody to throw the ball to.

1036
00:47:29,239 --> 00:47:29,399
Speaker 4: Fair.

1037
00:47:30,840 --> 00:47:35,080
Speaker 3: I just I think that there is there's a there's

1038
00:47:35,120 --> 00:47:36,080
Speaker 3: a case to be made.

1039
00:47:36,360 --> 00:47:38,440
Speaker 4: Ye interesting, Yeah.

1040
00:47:38,400 --> 00:47:41,239
Speaker 3: And uh yeah, I don't know.

1041
00:47:41,480 --> 00:47:43,360
Speaker 5: It's just it's one of those things where do I

1042
00:47:43,360 --> 00:47:46,279
Speaker 5: actually think he's offense player with the absolutely not. But

1043
00:47:46,760 --> 00:47:49,480
Speaker 5: I just wanted to throw his name in there because

1044
00:47:49,520 --> 00:47:52,080
Speaker 5: I'm like, I I he did so much this year,

1045
00:47:52,120 --> 00:47:53,400
Speaker 5: So I just I really.

1046
00:47:54,640 --> 00:47:57,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I mean he'll have his his his moment

1047
00:47:57,520 --> 00:47:58,720
Speaker 2: to shine in offensive rookie.

1048
00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:00,400
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1049
00:48:00,560 --> 00:48:01,919
Speaker 5: Do I think is going to win it? It is probably

1050
00:48:01,960 --> 00:48:05,120
Speaker 5: gonna be JSN. I think it's JSN. Yeah, especially with

1051
00:48:05,200 --> 00:48:07,520
Speaker 5: I mean you're not supposed to take into account post season.

1052
00:48:08,040 --> 00:48:11,800
Speaker 2: But I mean this was his breakout years. Third season

1053
00:48:11,840 --> 00:48:14,719
Speaker 2: in the league, this was his breakout year. I mean

1054
00:48:14,760 --> 00:48:16,960
Speaker 2: he just came alive. With Sam Darnold, he had three

1055
00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:19,919
Speaker 2: times as many receiving yards as Cooper cop their number

1056
00:48:19,920 --> 00:48:22,640
Speaker 2: two on the team, led the league in receiving yards.

1057
00:48:22,640 --> 00:48:25,040
Speaker 2: I have JSN winning Offensive Player of the year.

1058
00:48:26,880 --> 00:48:29,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think I agree with that.

1059
00:48:29,480 --> 00:48:34,799
Speaker 2: Okay, defensive player of the year kind of a no brainer, right,

1060
00:48:34,880 --> 00:48:40,799
Speaker 2: Miles Garrett, he said season yeah, yeah, twenty three, there's

1061
00:48:40,880 --> 00:48:45,200
Speaker 2: only what only player to record at least fourteen sacks

1062
00:48:45,200 --> 00:48:48,520
Speaker 2: and four straight seasons set a career high in tackles

1063
00:48:48,520 --> 00:48:51,719
Speaker 2: for lost thirty three that also led the league. And

1064
00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:53,440
Speaker 2: this is like, you know, even on a Browns team

1065
00:48:53,520 --> 00:48:55,680
Speaker 2: that you know, finished last in the AFC North only

1066
00:48:55,680 --> 00:48:58,560
Speaker 2: had five wins. Like he he is the shining beacon

1067
00:48:58,960 --> 00:48:59,960
Speaker 2: in that franchise.

1068
00:49:01,400 --> 00:49:03,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, he really is. He's the only good thing.

1069
00:49:04,560 --> 00:49:08,520
Speaker 5: I'm honestly like, I was shocked at the time when

1070
00:49:08,800 --> 00:49:09,760
Speaker 5: he decided to stay.

1071
00:49:10,040 --> 00:49:12,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, how long was like how long did he was?

1072
00:49:12,680 --> 00:49:13,880
Speaker 4: His contract?

1073
00:49:14,360 --> 00:49:14,480
Speaker 11: Oh?

1074
00:49:15,320 --> 00:49:16,920
Speaker 4: There is he there over his career?

1075
00:49:17,040 --> 00:49:18,200
Speaker 3: His new his new contract.

1076
00:49:18,280 --> 00:49:20,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it's four years.

1077
00:49:21,719 --> 00:49:24,279
Speaker 5: But that's like he didn't need to sign it. He

1078
00:49:24,280 --> 00:49:26,719
Speaker 5: could have signed it anywhere else. No, literally, anywhere.

1079
00:49:26,360 --> 00:49:27,160
Speaker 3: Else had him.

1080
00:49:27,680 --> 00:49:30,239
Speaker 2: And I remember they thought, like they told me their

1081
00:49:30,239 --> 00:49:33,800
Speaker 2: plan and he believed.

1082
00:49:33,840 --> 00:49:36,440
Speaker 3: I don't know, you do you know, I don't know.

1083
00:49:36,600 --> 00:49:37,279
Speaker 4: Nobody knows.

1084
00:49:37,680 --> 00:49:41,279
Speaker 3: Even at the conclusion of this season, nobody knows. Nobody knows.

1085
00:49:41,680 --> 00:49:43,759
Speaker 5: I like I'm like, what was the plan that they

1086
00:49:43,800 --> 00:49:46,040
Speaker 5: sold you on, because I can't imagine it was what

1087
00:49:46,160 --> 00:49:46,879
Speaker 5: happened this year?

1088
00:49:47,080 --> 00:49:48,200
Speaker 4: No?

1089
00:49:48,200 --> 00:49:52,040
Speaker 5: No, And then also like his contract is now also

1090
00:49:52,239 --> 00:49:54,279
Speaker 5: the reason why the Browns are never going to be

1091
00:49:54,320 --> 00:49:58,000
Speaker 5: good anytime soon because his contract on top of the

1092
00:49:58,080 --> 00:50:00,520
Speaker 5: quarterback situation, all the money that you have tied up

1093
00:50:00,520 --> 00:50:02,719
Speaker 5: in the just Shawn Watson took contract on top of

1094
00:50:02,760 --> 00:50:04,480
Speaker 5: having multiple other quarterback.

1095
00:50:04,200 --> 00:50:05,920
Speaker 4: Done this year, is this No?

1096
00:50:05,920 --> 00:50:11,080
Speaker 5: No, they have so much money left gross they are

1097
00:50:11,280 --> 00:50:13,360
Speaker 5: they are they have so much money tied up in

1098
00:50:13,400 --> 00:50:17,720
Speaker 5: the quarterback position with multiple guys. And then Miles Garrett

1099
00:50:17,719 --> 00:50:20,839
Speaker 5: and I'm just like, you're not gonna be like you

1100
00:50:20,880 --> 00:50:25,040
Speaker 5: have no money? Yeah, Browns to actually field a competent team.

1101
00:50:25,160 --> 00:50:27,600
Speaker 5: So why Miles Garrett chose to go back there? I mean,

1102
00:50:28,800 --> 00:50:31,120
Speaker 5: I don't know, I don't know, but he is my

1103
00:50:31,320 --> 00:50:32,920
Speaker 5: unquestionable defensive player of the year.

1104
00:50:33,040 --> 00:50:36,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, hands down. Okay, let's move to and I

1105
00:50:36,920 --> 00:50:40,560
Speaker 2: think we already mentioned the same offensive rookie of the

1106
00:50:40,640 --> 00:50:45,160
Speaker 2: Year Ted McMillan, Like, it's got to be only rookie

1107
00:50:45,200 --> 00:50:48,800
Speaker 2: this season to clear the thousand yard mark most receiving touchdowns,

1108
00:50:48,800 --> 00:50:51,200
Speaker 2: banning rookie and again this is on a Panther's team

1109
00:50:51,239 --> 00:50:54,359
Speaker 2: who had a losing season but won the division because

1110
00:50:54,360 --> 00:50:55,479
Speaker 2: it's the NFC South.

1111
00:50:57,040 --> 00:50:59,920
Speaker 4: But he was like, kind of like that bright beacon.

1112
00:51:00,680 --> 00:51:02,719
Speaker 5: Yeah, if I'm going to put him, you know, in

1113
00:51:02,760 --> 00:51:04,479
Speaker 5: the mix for Offensive Player of the Year, which again

1114
00:51:04,520 --> 00:51:04,839
Speaker 5: I'm not.

1115
00:51:04,800 --> 00:51:08,360
Speaker 3: Really but you just want to give I wanted to

1116
00:51:08,400 --> 00:51:09,480
Speaker 3: give him some love and I want.

1117
00:51:09,360 --> 00:51:12,279
Speaker 5: To give him extra love and like for this this

1118
00:51:12,320 --> 00:51:14,240
Speaker 5: award in particular, I think it's a no brainer.

1119
00:51:14,480 --> 00:51:16,120
Speaker 3: When it comes to offensive player. There there's not a

1120
00:51:16,200 --> 00:51:19,120
Speaker 3: whole lot of offensive Brookie the Year. It's there's not

1121
00:51:19,160 --> 00:51:20,000
Speaker 3: a whole lot of.

1122
00:51:21,400 --> 00:51:24,600
Speaker 5: Like competition, Like I feel like offensive Rookie of the

1123
00:51:24,640 --> 00:51:27,719
Speaker 5: Year and Defensive Rookie of the Year are kind of like,

1124
00:51:27,920 --> 00:51:29,560
Speaker 5: I don't know, it's it's pretty it was. It was

1125
00:51:29,600 --> 00:51:30,759
Speaker 5: easy at least for me to pick.

1126
00:51:30,840 --> 00:51:33,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, then go give us your defensive.

1127
00:51:33,160 --> 00:51:36,319
Speaker 5: Defensive Rookie of the year. I will say offensive Rokie

1128
00:51:36,320 --> 00:51:39,359
Speaker 5: of Year. Colston Loveland also deserves, ok maybe a little

1129
00:51:39,400 --> 00:51:41,160
Speaker 5: bit of consideration just for what he meant to this

1130
00:51:41,200 --> 00:51:44,279
Speaker 5: Bears offense and Caleb Williams in particular, and for how

1131
00:51:44,280 --> 00:51:47,200
Speaker 5: far that team went. But defense, I have to have

1132
00:51:47,320 --> 00:51:49,319
Speaker 5: squeeze that in there, especially for Tracy, like I will

1133
00:51:49,320 --> 00:51:51,160
Speaker 5: I would not forget myself if I didn't say Colton

1134
00:51:51,200 --> 00:51:53,080
Speaker 5: Loveland's name for Tracy in particular.

1135
00:51:53,080 --> 00:51:54,440
Speaker 3: But no, DEFENSI rookie there, James.

1136
00:51:54,280 --> 00:51:57,799
Speaker 5: Pierce from Atlanta like ten and a half sacks this year,

1137
00:51:59,400 --> 00:52:03,360
Speaker 5: so I like, and Atlanta's defense it was not a

1138
00:52:03,360 --> 00:52:05,080
Speaker 5: good It was not a good year for Atlanta, right,

1139
00:52:05,520 --> 00:52:09,719
Speaker 5: but if you look at the defense and and what

1140
00:52:09,840 --> 00:52:11,560
Speaker 5: gives you hope in Atlanta.

1141
00:52:11,440 --> 00:52:13,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's absolutely that side of the ball.

1142
00:52:13,040 --> 00:52:15,200
Speaker 5: And it's the fact that you have multiple young players,

1143
00:52:15,200 --> 00:52:18,000
Speaker 5: by the way, m hm on that side of the

1144
00:52:18,040 --> 00:52:21,400
Speaker 5: ball that are paying dividends for you right now. I

1145
00:52:21,400 --> 00:52:24,719
Speaker 5: mean not only is it is it James Pierce, but

1146
00:52:24,760 --> 00:52:29,160
Speaker 5: you also have Jalen Walker who was on the other

1147
00:52:29,200 --> 00:52:30,760
Speaker 5: side of him, who had I think five and a half.

1148
00:52:30,640 --> 00:52:33,040
Speaker 3: Sacks this year or something like that. So it's a

1149
00:52:33,080 --> 00:52:33,600
Speaker 3: really good.

1150
00:52:33,480 --> 00:52:34,840
Speaker 5: Young core and you have to be excited about that

1151
00:52:34,880 --> 00:52:37,799
Speaker 5: at your Atlanta So I ax or uh, yeah, James

1152
00:52:37,840 --> 00:52:38,520
Speaker 5: Pearce was mine.

1153
00:52:38,600 --> 00:52:38,920
Speaker 3: Okay.

1154
00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:42,719
Speaker 2: Defensive Carson Swessinger is also up there Lettle rookies with

1155
00:52:42,760 --> 00:52:45,240
Speaker 2: one hundred and forty six tackles eleven tackles for los

1156
00:52:45,239 --> 00:52:47,320
Speaker 2: second among rookies with interceptions.

1157
00:52:49,040 --> 00:52:51,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think either of those.

1158
00:52:51,719 --> 00:52:54,319
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean neither that The hard part is neither

1159
00:52:54,360 --> 00:52:57,280
Speaker 5: one of those guys are on teams that did anything

1160
00:52:57,280 --> 00:53:01,520
Speaker 5: this year. So Carson on the Browns, the brown you also,

1161
00:53:01,680 --> 00:53:03,440
Speaker 5: I mean to me too, I mean, when you have

1162
00:53:03,520 --> 00:53:06,480
Speaker 5: a game wrecker like Miles Garrett on the field with you.

1163
00:53:06,440 --> 00:53:08,959
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're going to be better.

1164
00:53:09,080 --> 00:53:09,799
Speaker 3: You're going to be better.

1165
00:53:10,320 --> 00:53:13,560
Speaker 2: But yeah, when you're surrounded by greatness, you're going to

1166
00:53:13,600 --> 00:53:14,520
Speaker 2: get better matchups.

1167
00:53:14,560 --> 00:53:17,000
Speaker 3: You're gonna you know, because everybody's paying attention to him. Yep,

1168
00:53:17,040 --> 00:53:17,640
Speaker 3: So that's why.

1169
00:53:17,680 --> 00:53:20,120
Speaker 5: But I think, you know, the combination of of of

1170
00:53:20,200 --> 00:53:25,320
Speaker 5: James Pierce and Jalen Walker for Atlanta, that's that's really

1171
00:53:25,320 --> 00:53:27,520
Speaker 5: fun for me if if I'm an Atlanta fan, that's

1172
00:53:27,560 --> 00:53:28,880
Speaker 5: kind of what I'm hanging my hat on or that's

1173
00:53:28,880 --> 00:53:30,160
Speaker 5: what's giving me hope going forward.

1174
00:53:30,280 --> 00:53:31,960
Speaker 2: Love that. Okay, let's get to come back Player of

1175
00:53:32,000 --> 00:53:36,600
Speaker 2: the Year. Stephan Diggs, Aiden Hutchinson, Trevor Lawrence, Christian McCaffrey,

1176
00:53:36,880 --> 00:53:37,680
Speaker 2: Dak Prescott.

1177
00:53:40,520 --> 00:53:43,120
Speaker 3: I don't think this is particularly close either, Okay, go

1178
00:53:43,560 --> 00:53:45,440
Speaker 3: it's got to be. It's got to be CMC.

1179
00:53:45,600 --> 00:53:47,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's got to be. I was, I was hoping

1180
00:53:47,440 --> 00:53:48,000
Speaker 4: you were going that way.

1181
00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:51,439
Speaker 5: I was, like, the only the only reason, the only

1182
00:53:51,520 --> 00:53:54,240
Speaker 5: reason that the forty nine ers were able to withstand

1183
00:53:54,400 --> 00:53:56,279
Speaker 5: as many injuries as they did is because they have

1184
00:53:56,360 --> 00:53:57,480
Speaker 5: Christian McCaffrey on there.

1185
00:53:57,360 --> 00:54:00,279
Speaker 2: Who didn't get injured, which didn't get in because his

1186
00:54:00,320 --> 00:54:01,560
Speaker 2: achille tendon itis.

1187
00:54:01,280 --> 00:54:03,080
Speaker 3: And an injury.

1188
00:54:03,320 --> 00:54:06,040
Speaker 4: Right now, Yeah he started all.

1189
00:54:06,040 --> 00:54:09,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, he started seventeen games, like rush for over twelve

1190
00:54:09,840 --> 00:54:14,040
Speaker 2: hundred yards, ten touchdowns, like, yeah, he just it has

1191
00:54:14,120 --> 00:54:16,640
Speaker 2: to be. It has to be Christian Graffrey. Okay, let's

1192
00:54:16,640 --> 00:54:19,560
Speaker 2: move to Coach of the Year. And this one's hard.

1193
00:54:20,320 --> 00:54:24,040
Speaker 2: This one's hard for me. Liam Cohen, Ben Johnson, Mike McDonald,

1194
00:54:24,400 --> 00:54:25,640
Speaker 2: Kyle Shanahan, Mike Rable.

1195
00:54:27,840 --> 00:54:31,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, where there hasn't where comeback player was very easy.

1196
00:54:31,600 --> 00:54:33,239
Speaker 3: This is this is You could make a case for

1197
00:54:33,239 --> 00:54:35,560
Speaker 3: every single one, every single one of these coaches makes

1198
00:54:35,600 --> 00:54:37,200
Speaker 3: a case for everything. All of them.

1199
00:54:37,719 --> 00:54:39,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, all of them. A couple of them.

1200
00:54:39,520 --> 00:54:42,680
Speaker 2: I think set a press like possibly an unrealistic precedent

1201
00:54:42,760 --> 00:54:45,200
Speaker 2: for like a new coach in a new place, for

1202
00:54:45,320 --> 00:54:47,680
Speaker 2: like what you can do in your first season to

1203
00:54:47,680 --> 00:54:49,839
Speaker 2: turn a franchise around, Like I am torn between Ben

1204
00:54:49,920 --> 00:54:51,879
Speaker 2: Johnson and Mike Frable to see what they both did

1205
00:54:51,920 --> 00:54:54,359
Speaker 2: in their first season with second.

1206
00:54:54,800 --> 00:54:57,600
Speaker 5: Liam Cohen is even more impressive because of the fact

1207
00:54:57,600 --> 00:54:58,240
Speaker 5: that he's a first.

1208
00:54:58,080 --> 00:54:59,480
Speaker 3: Time head coach, just like Ben Johnson.

1209
00:54:59,520 --> 00:55:01,799
Speaker 5: Like, I think the first time head coaches doing the

1210
00:55:01,840 --> 00:55:05,360
Speaker 5: one year turnarounds is insane to me, Like, not only

1211
00:55:05,440 --> 00:55:07,680
Speaker 5: did you turn the franchise around in one year, but

1212
00:55:07,880 --> 00:55:08,640
Speaker 5: it's your.

1213
00:55:08,520 --> 00:55:09,600
Speaker 3: First year doing this.

1214
00:55:09,800 --> 00:55:13,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's wild, Like the jump from coordinator to head coach.

1215
00:55:13,400 --> 00:55:17,840
Speaker 5: You cannot overstate how hard that is. No, So I

1216
00:55:17,920 --> 00:55:19,719
Speaker 5: think I think it'd be between one of those guys.

1217
00:55:19,760 --> 00:55:21,400
Speaker 5: I would lean Ben Johnson, but I also got to

1218
00:55:21,400 --> 00:55:22,480
Speaker 5: Cobram all season, so.

1219
00:55:22,600 --> 00:55:24,280
Speaker 4: I also leaning Ben Johnson.

1220
00:55:24,400 --> 00:55:29,200
Speaker 2: I just the insane situation the Bears have been in

1221
00:55:30,040 --> 00:55:31,200
Speaker 2: over the last but.

1222
00:55:32,280 --> 00:55:36,400
Speaker 4: Thirty years, Kate, three decades, thirty years my entire life, Alex.

1223
00:55:36,200 --> 00:55:39,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I mean that was an insane glow up.

1224
00:55:39,880 --> 00:55:41,480
Speaker 2: I'm going to go Ben Johnson, Okay, now I'm going

1225
00:55:41,560 --> 00:55:43,799
Speaker 2: to give the floor to you for Protector of the Year.

1226
00:55:44,080 --> 00:55:45,080
Speaker 3: This is so hard.

1227
00:55:45,840 --> 00:55:47,960
Speaker 4: I give a case then for all because I know

1228
00:55:48,000 --> 00:55:48,879
Speaker 4: this is.

1229
00:55:48,880 --> 00:55:52,200
Speaker 3: Your read me off the guys that you have.

1230
00:55:54,040 --> 00:55:54,719
Speaker 4: Who do we have?

1231
00:55:56,040 --> 00:56:02,440
Speaker 2: We have Gary Bowles, Aaron Brewer, Great Humphrey, Penny Swell,

1232
00:56:02,880 --> 00:56:04,440
Speaker 2: Joe Thuni.

1233
00:56:04,520 --> 00:56:05,520
Speaker 3: Who do you got A.

1234
00:56:05,560 --> 00:56:08,920
Speaker 5: Nice little Joe Toney. Joe Toney is my answer, but

1235
00:56:09,200 --> 00:56:12,279
Speaker 5: it's it's hard. I think Garret Bowles deserves it too.

1236
00:56:14,200 --> 00:56:18,400
Speaker 5: One of the most underrated things all season long about

1237
00:56:18,440 --> 00:56:22,120
Speaker 5: Denver was their offensive line. Their offensive line which allowed

1238
00:56:22,280 --> 00:56:24,960
Speaker 5: Bonix to get better and to improve and for that

1239
00:56:25,040 --> 00:56:28,839
Speaker 5: offense to put points up and like that offensive line

1240
00:56:28,880 --> 00:56:31,560
Speaker 5: was so good. But then I can't talk about that

1241
00:56:31,600 --> 00:56:34,000
Speaker 5: and not talk about what the Bears did and bringing

1242
00:56:34,000 --> 00:56:37,359
Speaker 5: in an entirely new interior of the offensive line. When

1243
00:56:37,600 --> 00:56:39,960
Speaker 5: with Joe Toney, who is a four time Super Bowl champion,

1244
00:56:40,040 --> 00:56:43,200
Speaker 5: he has won the division every year except for one

1245
00:56:43,280 --> 00:56:45,640
Speaker 5: in his career, no matter what team he's been with,

1246
00:56:46,440 --> 00:56:49,600
Speaker 5: and what he is meant to this locker room in

1247
00:56:49,680 --> 00:56:54,160
Speaker 5: Chicago is essentially like bringing in that experience. Like for

1248
00:56:54,239 --> 00:56:55,839
Speaker 5: as for as good as he is on the field

1249
00:56:55,880 --> 00:56:58,040
Speaker 5: playing at an all pro level, and he's an all Pro,

1250
00:56:59,160 --> 00:57:01,480
Speaker 5: he is even more valuable. I feel like in the

1251
00:57:01,520 --> 00:57:04,000
Speaker 5: locker room and being able to tell guys like we

1252
00:57:04,080 --> 00:57:06,720
Speaker 5: heard so many stories of guys going like Caleb Williams

1253
00:57:06,800 --> 00:57:09,480
Speaker 5: himself going to Joe Toney after a tough loss, being like,

1254
00:57:09,480 --> 00:57:10,440
Speaker 5: how do we bounce back from this?

1255
00:57:10,480 --> 00:57:11,840
Speaker 3: How do we get right? Like whatever?

1256
00:57:12,200 --> 00:57:12,520
Speaker 6: This is?

1257
00:57:12,600 --> 00:57:16,480
Speaker 2: Like he was ever just protecting him. He was like

1258
00:57:16,560 --> 00:57:18,080
Speaker 2: a mental emotional support.

1259
00:57:18,200 --> 00:57:22,240
Speaker 5: He was everything for this entire offense. And Ben Johnson

1260
00:57:22,880 --> 00:57:26,200
Speaker 5: champions offensive lineman like no other. We heard that from

1261
00:57:26,280 --> 00:57:28,280
Speaker 5: multiple of those guys where he lets them know how

1262
00:57:28,280 --> 00:57:31,320
Speaker 5: important they are. But Joe Toney being there, you just

1263
00:57:31,360 --> 00:57:34,920
Speaker 5: cannot overstate his impact. And I just think that for

1264
00:57:35,120 --> 00:57:38,000
Speaker 5: the turnaround that happened in Chicago, it doesn't happen without

1265
00:57:38,040 --> 00:57:43,040
Speaker 5: Joe Tony. So I it like there were very tangible

1266
00:57:43,080 --> 00:57:46,600
Speaker 5: results to his presence on the team, And I think

1267
00:57:46,640 --> 00:57:48,320
Speaker 5: that that's what, you know, the spirit of this ord

1268
00:57:48,480 --> 00:57:51,160
Speaker 5: is how did you contribute to your team's success? And again,

1269
00:57:51,480 --> 00:57:53,440
Speaker 5: it does not happen without Joe Toney in Chicago.

1270
00:57:53,600 --> 00:57:55,560
Speaker 2: That's going to be a fun, fun first year for

1271
00:57:55,600 --> 00:57:57,840
Speaker 2: these for these big boys. All right, we're gonna take

1272
00:57:57,840 --> 00:57:59,280
Speaker 2: a quick break here. When we come back, only two

1273
00:57:59,320 --> 00:58:02,480
Speaker 2: head coaching c lve did teams get it right. You're

Speaker 2: at Carmen Vitally. Thank you for spending your Saturday afternoon

1281
00:58:22,120 --> 00:58:22,560
Speaker 2: with us.

1282
00:58:23,760 --> 00:58:24,040
Speaker 4: Carme.

1283
00:58:24,560 --> 00:58:27,520
Speaker 2: Almost all the head coaching seats have been filled, only

1284
00:58:27,520 --> 00:58:32,360
Speaker 2: two leve Raiders and Cardinals. But uh, let's talk about

1285
00:58:32,440 --> 00:58:37,640
Speaker 2: the new head coaches. This week, Bills hired Joe Brady,

1286
00:58:37,680 --> 00:58:41,080
Speaker 2: Brown's hire Todd Monkin. But let's start with the Bills

1287
00:58:41,280 --> 00:58:44,400
Speaker 2: promoting their offensive coordinator, basically Joe Brady to be the

1288
00:58:44,440 --> 00:58:48,520
Speaker 2: new head coach. The owner came out really hot with

1289
00:58:48,560 --> 00:58:51,320
Speaker 2: this decision. We talked about it last week. I felt

1290
00:58:52,480 --> 00:58:56,120
Speaker 2: a little emotional how we fired Sean McDermott because he

1291
00:58:56,440 --> 00:58:58,960
Speaker 2: literally said he made the decision after seeing.

1292
00:58:58,720 --> 00:59:01,080
Speaker 4: All of his players, specially.

1293
00:59:00,640 --> 00:59:04,560
Speaker 2: Josh Allen crying after the loss to the Broncos.

1294
00:59:06,080 --> 00:59:08,800
Speaker 3: So, I mean, it.

1295
00:59:11,640 --> 00:59:14,800
Speaker 2: Felt like they just kind of needed new leadership, but

1296
00:59:14,880 --> 00:59:17,560
Speaker 2: didn't want to rock the boat too much because he's

1297
00:59:17,600 --> 00:59:20,000
Speaker 2: still going to be the offensive play caller as a

1298
00:59:20,040 --> 00:59:22,400
Speaker 2: first time head coach. But like, is this their best

1299
00:59:22,480 --> 00:59:24,840
Speaker 2: choice to get Josh Allen to the super Bowl, because

1300
00:59:24,840 --> 00:59:25,320
Speaker 2: that's what it is.

1301
00:59:25,360 --> 00:59:28,520
Speaker 4: It's going to be super Bowl or bust for them

1302
00:59:28,560 --> 00:59:29,320
Speaker 4: the next season.

1303
00:59:29,640 --> 00:59:31,840
Speaker 3: That this is this just reeks of.

1304
00:59:32,080 --> 00:59:34,800
Speaker 5: This was a really emotional and knee jerk reaction to

1305
00:59:35,200 --> 00:59:39,560
Speaker 5: using a really tough game, which wasn't Sean mcdermot's.

1306
00:59:39,040 --> 00:59:39,640
Speaker 3: Fault by the way.

1307
00:59:39,760 --> 00:59:44,320
Speaker 5: Oh and uh yeah, like we didn't really have a plan,

1308
00:59:44,640 --> 00:59:46,520
Speaker 5: Like that's what this signals to me, is like, ah,

1309
00:59:46,560 --> 00:59:48,040
Speaker 5: we're just kind of now making it up as we

1310
00:59:48,080 --> 00:59:51,200
Speaker 5: go along, because you can't tell me that keeping things

1311
00:59:52,200 --> 00:59:58,200
Speaker 5: relatively like very similar is going to do anything. And

1312
00:59:58,600 --> 01:00:01,080
Speaker 5: you're right, it is going to be super or bust

1313
01:00:01,400 --> 01:00:05,040
Speaker 5: for the Buffalo Bills. And is that fair to put

1314
01:00:05,040 --> 01:00:07,520
Speaker 5: on a guy that, again is making the jump from

1315
01:00:07,800 --> 01:00:10,000
Speaker 5: coordinator to head coach, Like, I don't know, I.

1316
01:00:09,920 --> 01:00:10,520
Speaker 3: Don't think so.

1317
01:00:11,160 --> 01:00:13,320
Speaker 5: But like Joe Brady's not going to get the grace

1318
01:00:13,360 --> 01:00:15,560
Speaker 5: period that I think a new like a brand new

1319
01:00:15,600 --> 01:00:16,000
Speaker 5: head coach.

1320
01:00:16,600 --> 01:00:19,520
Speaker 2: He's gonna have the most pressure and the highest expectations

1321
01:00:19,520 --> 01:00:20,760
Speaker 2: next season, and.

1322
01:00:21,080 --> 01:00:23,760
Speaker 5: I mean part of that is warranted, but then you know,

1323
01:00:23,800 --> 01:00:28,200
Speaker 5: you get the Jim Leonard defensive coordinator higher and he

1324
01:00:28,240 --> 01:00:32,400
Speaker 5: came in from the team that beat them. By the way,

1325
01:00:33,200 --> 01:00:35,600
Speaker 5: he was the defensive passing game corner and assistant head

1326
01:00:35,600 --> 01:00:40,280
Speaker 5: coach in Denver for that defense, so the Bills are

1327
01:00:40,320 --> 01:00:44,000
Speaker 5: hiring him. He was also a Bills player. I believe

1328
01:00:44,600 --> 01:00:47,000
Speaker 5: he played for the Bills during his playing career, but

1329
01:00:49,200 --> 01:00:53,160
Speaker 5: he like all right, I mean he was he got

1330
01:00:53,200 --> 01:00:55,840
Speaker 5: the assistant head coach title, and he was a defensive

1331
01:00:55,840 --> 01:00:58,680
Speaker 5: passing game coordinator, which is you know, so the defensive

1332
01:00:58,680 --> 01:01:01,880
Speaker 5: coordinator is a step up. But yeah, theoretically think he's ready.

1333
01:01:01,960 --> 01:01:04,680
Speaker 5: And obviously Denver's defense was one of the best in

1334
01:01:04,680 --> 01:01:07,720
Speaker 5: the league this last year, so at this stage of

1335
01:01:07,760 --> 01:01:09,480
Speaker 5: the game too, that's it's a good hire.

1336
01:01:09,640 --> 01:01:11,479
Speaker 3: But yeah, do you I don't.

1337
01:01:11,640 --> 01:01:16,040
Speaker 5: I don't know if Joe Brady and Leonard are like friends,

1338
01:01:16,080 --> 01:01:18,280
Speaker 5: if they have a good working relationship yet, or if

1339
01:01:18,360 --> 01:01:22,080
Speaker 5: like that's like all of this matters talking about trying

1340
01:01:22,120 --> 01:01:24,760
Speaker 5: to win a Super Bowl in her very first year,

1341
01:01:24,840 --> 01:01:27,720
Speaker 5: like it's just it's not Again, the whole situation just

1342
01:01:27,760 --> 01:01:31,200
Speaker 5: reeks of Oh, we made this really emotional decision and

1343
01:01:31,280 --> 01:01:35,520
Speaker 5: didn't really have a plan behind it, and now we're

1344
01:01:35,560 --> 01:01:39,320
Speaker 5: just scrambling and trying to figure out what's the best

1345
01:01:39,480 --> 01:01:40,120
Speaker 5: course of action?

1346
01:01:40,640 --> 01:01:40,960
Speaker 4: Wild?

1347
01:01:41,520 --> 01:01:42,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, wild.

1348
01:01:42,240 --> 01:01:45,760
Speaker 2: Now the Browns hire Todd Monkin, who was Ravens oc

1349
01:01:46,000 --> 01:01:48,520
Speaker 2: for also first time head coach, saw the video of

1350
01:01:48,600 --> 01:01:51,959
Speaker 2: him and Shudoor Sanders, which feels like he's on board

1351
01:01:51,960 --> 01:01:54,200
Speaker 2: with Sanders being their kind of quarterback of the future.

1352
01:01:54,200 --> 01:01:55,800
Speaker 2: He told him, we tried to draft you. We'll talk

1353
01:01:55,800 --> 01:02:00,320
Speaker 2: about that at some point. Vibes felt good. It's just

1354
01:02:00,360 --> 01:02:03,720
Speaker 2: tough because it's the Browns and it felt a little random.

1355
01:02:03,960 --> 01:02:06,080
Speaker 2: A few people pulled out of the Browns coaching search.

1356
01:02:06,160 --> 01:02:09,400
Speaker 2: As we know, remember they were making everybody write essays.

1357
01:02:11,480 --> 01:02:14,000
Speaker 5: Okay, So I know Todd Monkin. I worked with him

1358
01:02:14,040 --> 01:02:17,560
Speaker 5: at Tampa Inside adored him. He was one of the

1359
01:02:17,600 --> 01:02:21,560
Speaker 5: first coaches actually that allowed me to really like ask

1360
01:02:21,720 --> 01:02:24,920
Speaker 5: questions and he would tell me everything. He would sit

1361
01:02:24,960 --> 01:02:27,240
Speaker 5: me down in the shows like you work for us, right, yes,

1362
01:02:27,560 --> 01:02:29,160
Speaker 5: all right, I'm gonna tell you everything, and you're just

1363
01:02:29,160 --> 01:02:30,600
Speaker 5: gonna tell me what you can and can't use and

1364
01:02:30,640 --> 01:02:31,920
Speaker 5: it's fine, like you'll figure it out.

1365
01:02:31,960 --> 01:02:32,320
Speaker 3: Wow.

1366
01:02:32,920 --> 01:02:36,040
Speaker 5: And so he really trusted me, and it was really

1367
01:02:36,120 --> 01:02:37,680
Speaker 5: it was a really cool experience. There was a couple

1368
01:02:37,680 --> 01:02:38,880
Speaker 5: of times I got to like sit with him at

1369
01:02:38,880 --> 01:02:40,520
Speaker 5: the lunch table and just like hear his stories.

1370
01:02:40,640 --> 01:02:42,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, a good leader.

1371
01:02:42,560 --> 01:02:46,480
Speaker 5: He's hysterical, is I know that. People probably don't know it,

1372
01:02:46,560 --> 01:02:49,800
Speaker 5: but he's also he's been in the league for he

1373
01:02:49,840 --> 01:02:53,400
Speaker 5: hasn't had the opportunity, he hasn't had the opportunity to

1374
01:02:53,400 --> 01:02:55,600
Speaker 5: become a head coach. And he's taken multiple interviews over

1375
01:02:55,640 --> 01:02:58,960
Speaker 5: the course of years and years and years for head coaches.

1376
01:02:58,480 --> 01:03:01,240
Speaker 4: And it just hasn't worked out for this essay.

1377
01:03:01,960 --> 01:03:04,440
Speaker 5: I mean, well, that's the funny part is I cannot

1378
01:03:05,440 --> 01:03:11,720
Speaker 5: I cannot imagine Todd Okay, like absolutely not like I

1379
01:03:11,720 --> 01:03:14,960
Speaker 5: I honestly I would. I would wonder and maybe maybe

1380
01:03:15,000 --> 01:03:20,120
Speaker 5: I'll ask him about this if he ended up having

1381
01:03:20,120 --> 01:03:23,160
Speaker 5: to actually do that, because with especially with as many

1382
01:03:23,240 --> 01:03:27,720
Speaker 5: coaches as pulled out of the consideration for that job.

1383
01:03:28,040 --> 01:03:29,240
Speaker 3: I wonder if the Browns are like.

1384
01:03:29,160 --> 01:03:33,440
Speaker 5: Oh, maybe we should just like nix the yeah, nix

1385
01:03:33,560 --> 01:03:35,600
Speaker 5: the essay because what the head coach?

1386
01:03:35,960 --> 01:03:37,560
Speaker 3: What what football.

1387
01:03:37,120 --> 01:03:40,320
Speaker 5: Coach is ever going to want to write anything? If

1388
01:03:40,360 --> 01:03:42,600
Speaker 5: you know a football coach in your life, they're not

1389
01:03:42,800 --> 01:03:46,080
Speaker 5: They're not the moste.

1390
01:03:45,000 --> 01:03:46,680
Speaker 4: Nobody got time for that, nobody.

1391
01:03:46,440 --> 01:03:47,160
Speaker 3: Nobody has time for that.

1392
01:03:47,480 --> 01:03:50,560
Speaker 5: But they are they are like ball, ball and then

1393
01:03:50,600 --> 01:03:54,080
Speaker 5: more ball. Yeah, so I'm I'm very I'm I'm happy

1394
01:03:54,080 --> 01:03:56,600
Speaker 5: for Monk, for Monk that he ended up getting a

1395
01:03:56,640 --> 01:03:59,440
Speaker 5: head coaching gig. I wish it was under better circumstances.

1396
01:03:59,480 --> 01:04:01,920
Speaker 5: I wish he was being set up a little bit better.

1397
01:04:03,120 --> 01:04:06,480
Speaker 5: But he's had he's had success at various levels. He

1398
01:04:06,560 --> 01:04:10,160
Speaker 5: was Georgia's offensive coordinator for a while and took them

1399
01:04:10,160 --> 01:04:15,080
Speaker 5: to a couple of national titles and coach Lamar Jackson

1400
01:04:15,360 --> 01:04:19,800
Speaker 5: in Baltimore, and like he just he's been around. He

1401
01:04:19,880 --> 01:04:22,480
Speaker 5: knows what he's doing. I hope that he is being

1402
01:04:22,480 --> 01:04:25,720
Speaker 5: set up for success in Cleveland. Yes, but hey, you know,

1403
01:04:25,760 --> 01:04:27,240
Speaker 5: you get to be one of thirty two and you

1404
01:04:27,280 --> 01:04:28,400
Speaker 5: can't turn that down.

1405
01:04:28,280 --> 01:04:29,040
Speaker 4: Don't turn that down.

1406
01:04:29,720 --> 01:04:32,120
Speaker 2: Okay, Okay, you maye feel a little bit better there. Also,

1407
01:04:32,200 --> 01:04:35,400
Speaker 2: like if you get inside info, you know. Now, all right,

1408
01:04:35,480 --> 01:04:37,080
Speaker 2: let's check go on Martin Wise and see what's trending.

1409
01:04:40,280 --> 01:04:42,680
Speaker 9: Paul George has been suspended without paying for twenty five

1410
01:04:42,720 --> 01:04:45,320
Speaker 9: games for violating in the NBA's anti drug policy.

1411
01:04:45,400 --> 01:04:47,400
Speaker 6: George releasing a statement.

1412
01:04:47,160 --> 01:04:49,880
Speaker 9: Saying he took an improper medication while seeking treatment for

1413
01:04:49,960 --> 01:04:53,680
Speaker 9: mental health. Former Broncos defensive pass game coordinator. Jim Leonard

1414
01:04:53,680 --> 01:04:56,800
Speaker 9: has been hired as Bill's new defensive coordinator, and Carmon,

1415
01:04:56,840 --> 01:04:59,360
Speaker 9: you were right. He did play for Buffalo when he

1416
01:04:59,440 --> 01:05:02,959
Speaker 9: was playing safety. I believe New York Giants co owner

1417
01:05:03,000 --> 01:05:05,800
Speaker 9: Steve Tish has been named in the latest Epstein files,

1418
01:05:05,800 --> 01:05:08,960
Speaker 9: his name appearing four hundred and forty times among the

1419
01:05:09,000 --> 01:05:11,840
Speaker 9: released documents. His releasing his statement he actually got saying

1420
01:05:11,880 --> 01:05:14,400
Speaker 9: that he and Epstein had a brief association where they

1421
01:05:14,400 --> 01:05:19,240
Speaker 9: exchanged emails about adult women. In addition, we discussed movies, philanthropy,

1422
01:05:19,280 --> 01:05:20,080
Speaker 9: and investments.

1423
01:05:20,440 --> 01:05:24,200
Speaker 3: That statement doesn't make it better. He is still trafficking.

1424
01:05:24,760 --> 01:05:27,160
Speaker 9: He goes on to say I didn't take him up

1425
01:05:27,160 --> 01:05:29,920
Speaker 9: on any of his invitations and never went to his island.

1426
01:05:29,960 --> 01:05:32,920
Speaker 9: As we all know now, he was a terrible person

1427
01:05:33,040 --> 01:05:35,200
Speaker 9: and someone I deeply regret associating.

1428
01:05:35,360 --> 01:05:38,600
Speaker 5: I need to know who was the PRU that said

1429
01:05:38,600 --> 01:05:41,080
Speaker 5: that that was a good statement to say, because that's

1430
01:05:41,120 --> 01:05:43,120
Speaker 5: the worst statement ever.

1431
01:05:43,800 --> 01:05:45,960
Speaker 9: I mean, and I'm not saying that this is a

1432
01:05:45,960 --> 01:05:48,240
Speaker 9: good statement. I am not defending it by any stretch

1433
01:05:48,240 --> 01:05:49,000
Speaker 9: of the imagination.

1434
01:05:49,120 --> 01:05:52,000
Speaker 6: But what on earth can you say? What is that

1435
01:05:52,120 --> 01:05:52,880
Speaker 6: to saying no.

1436
01:05:52,840 --> 01:05:53,200
Speaker 3: You're right?

1437
01:05:53,480 --> 01:05:54,880
Speaker 4: I don't know what there is done.

1438
01:05:54,920 --> 01:05:59,840
Speaker 5: You're done, You're done, but you essentially admitted to trafficking women.

1439
01:06:00,200 --> 01:06:02,840
Speaker 5: I don't It doesn't matter if they're adults. Trafficking women

1440
01:06:03,000 --> 01:06:05,000
Speaker 5: is still a horrendous act.

1441
01:06:05,680 --> 01:06:05,919
Speaker 3: YEP.

1442
01:06:06,640 --> 01:06:08,440
Speaker 6: That's not good.

1443
01:06:08,480 --> 01:06:10,920
Speaker 9: And you made a good point, Carmen, in that if

1444
01:06:10,960 --> 01:06:13,720
Speaker 9: Frodi Goodell normally gets pressed about you know, ask the

1445
01:06:13,760 --> 01:06:16,600
Speaker 9: you know, diversity and head coaching hires at that press conference,

1446
01:06:16,640 --> 01:06:18,400
Speaker 9: I bet you he wishes Jim Trotter would be.

1447
01:06:18,400 --> 01:06:22,400
Speaker 5: Able to be there legitimately, like anything and everything is

1448
01:06:22,400 --> 01:06:24,360
Speaker 5: on the table during that press conference, So the NFL

1449
01:06:24,360 --> 01:06:26,640
Speaker 5: would be wise to do something about this before then.

1450
01:06:27,240 --> 01:06:28,960
Speaker 6: That's wrap up some college basketball stuff.

1451
01:06:28,960 --> 01:06:32,800
Speaker 9: Arizona remaining undefeated being Arizona State eighty seven to seventy four.

Speaker 12: to have to say our show because I'm really really

1475
01:07:40,720 --> 01:07:43,520

1476
01:07:43,520 --> 01:07:45,720
Speaker 12: know what else, I'm really excited to be in San

1477
01:07:45,720 --> 01:07:50,680
Speaker 12: Francisco because I'm never in forty nine Ers practice and

1478
01:07:50,720 --> 01:07:53,520
Speaker 12: play in Santa Clara, which is a solid hour and

1479
01:07:53,560 --> 01:07:54,080
Speaker 12: a half away.

1480
01:07:54,200 --> 01:07:57,880
Speaker 4: That's insane hour and a half, which is yeah, I.

1481
01:07:57,840 --> 01:08:00,480
Speaker 12: Thought an hour hour and a half at least. No,

1482
01:08:00,560 --> 01:08:02,000
Speaker 12: it's about an hour and a half.

1483
01:08:02,680 --> 01:08:05,160
Speaker 3: Gosh more, it's hard.

1484
01:08:06,240 --> 01:08:07,720
Speaker 10: So it's not San Francisco.

1485
01:08:09,520 --> 01:08:12,760
Speaker 12: So not San Francisco. So honestly, I'm excited to be

1486
01:08:13,080 --> 01:08:14,840
Speaker 12: in San Franciscito. I'm never there.

1487
01:08:15,480 --> 01:08:18,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I've only been to like a couple forty

1488
01:08:18,240 --> 01:08:20,600
Speaker 5: nine Ers games at this point. Trace, But same deal is,

1489
01:08:20,640 --> 01:08:23,160
Speaker 5: like I never even stayed. You don't stay in San Francisco.

1490
01:08:23,200 --> 01:08:24,720
Speaker 3: You don't do it. You don't like fly into San

1491
01:08:24,720 --> 01:08:26,639
Speaker 3: Francisco and you and you fly in like.

1492
01:08:26,600 --> 01:08:28,160
Speaker 5: When you cover a game, you just fly in the

1493
01:08:28,240 --> 01:08:30,120
Speaker 5: day before and you fly out the day after. So

1494
01:08:30,160 --> 01:08:32,599
Speaker 5: it's not like you have any time to really do anything.

1495
01:08:32,720 --> 01:08:35,840
Speaker 5: So yeah, I'm with you, Strace. I'm so excited for

1496
01:08:35,880 --> 01:08:37,960
Speaker 5: this to be in San Francisco. But I am so

1497
01:08:38,040 --> 01:08:39,720
Speaker 5: excited that you were going to be joining us and

1498
01:08:39,720 --> 01:08:42,920
Speaker 5: we're all going to be together. But what is and

1499
01:08:43,240 --> 01:08:45,040
Speaker 5: you're someone that has been on Super Bowl Radio Row

1500
01:08:45,120 --> 01:08:47,760
Speaker 5: quite a bit, what is your favorite part of Super

1501
01:08:47,760 --> 01:08:51,240
Speaker 5: Bowl Radio Row and how like, what are you looking

1502
01:08:51,280 --> 01:08:53,240
Speaker 5: forward to all of us being able to do?

1503
01:08:54,920 --> 01:08:55,080
Speaker 1: Well?

1504
01:08:55,120 --> 01:08:57,120
Speaker 12: I think one of the coolest things about radio row

1505
01:08:57,240 --> 01:08:59,400
Speaker 12: is no matter who you are and why you're there.

1506
01:08:59,800 --> 01:09:02,920
Speaker 12: Any moment you can start talking to someone and interviewing

1507
01:09:02,920 --> 01:09:04,920
Speaker 12: them and that's just the cool thing about it. You

1508
01:09:05,080 --> 01:09:08,160
Speaker 12: just well, you're like, oh, you're here, can you talk

1509
01:09:08,200 --> 01:09:09,920
Speaker 12: for two minutes? Or oh, do you want to pop

1510
01:09:09,960 --> 01:09:12,000
Speaker 12: on my show in ten minutes? And it's a really

1511
01:09:12,040 --> 01:09:14,120
Speaker 12: fun thing. And again, it does not matter if you're

1512
01:09:14,160 --> 01:09:18,840
Speaker 12: George Kittle, you're Tracy Samdler, if you're John Smith, people

1513
01:09:18,880 --> 01:09:22,200
Speaker 12: will grab you. And it's super fun. And I don't know,

1514
01:09:22,240 --> 01:09:24,400
Speaker 12: it's really cool. It's like, in some ways, it's like

1515
01:09:24,439 --> 01:09:27,280
Speaker 12: the Great Equalizer. It's like Halloween where everyone's in costume,

1516
01:09:27,360 --> 01:09:27,920
Speaker 12: so it's just.

1517
01:09:27,920 --> 01:09:32,160
Speaker 4: Talk to people, right a roon, I see that.

1518
01:09:32,400 --> 01:09:34,760
Speaker 12: So it's gonna be fun. That's detally fun.

1519
01:09:34,880 --> 01:09:37,880
Speaker 2: Okay, So looking ahead to Super Bowl next week, we're

1520
01:09:37,920 --> 01:09:41,320
Speaker 2: gonna be breaking it down all week on our show,

1521
01:09:41,640 --> 01:09:41,880
Speaker 2: on the.

1522
01:09:41,880 --> 01:09:42,599
Speaker 4: Super Week Show.

1523
01:09:42,640 --> 01:09:44,840
Speaker 2: But what is one of the big storylines that you're

1524
01:09:45,160 --> 01:09:46,519
Speaker 2: most looking forward to in this game?

1525
01:09:48,560 --> 01:09:50,479
Speaker 12: You know, it's I think it's gonna be the Drake

1526
01:09:50,560 --> 01:09:54,080
Speaker 12: May versus Sam Darnald. You have two quarterbacks playing in

1527
01:09:54,120 --> 01:09:56,040
Speaker 12: their first Super Bowl. Sam Darnald made it clear this

1528
01:09:56,080 --> 01:09:58,680
Speaker 12: week he hasn't been before he was with twenty three

1529
01:09:58,800 --> 01:10:03,120
Speaker 12: three hours, so he's been there the Super Bowls and

1530
01:10:03,200 --> 01:10:05,920
Speaker 12: who rises to vacation and I think that's going to

1531
01:10:05,960 --> 01:10:07,840
Speaker 12: be the really fun thing to see. Sam Darld is

1532
01:10:07,880 --> 01:10:10,160
Speaker 12: a veteran in this league, but in a lot of

1533
01:10:10,160 --> 01:10:12,479
Speaker 12: ways this is new to him. Drake May is this

1534
01:10:12,600 --> 01:10:16,559
Speaker 12: like revelation with Rabel and the Patriots are back?

1535
01:10:16,680 --> 01:10:16,800
Speaker 1: So?

1536
01:10:16,920 --> 01:10:19,360
Speaker 12: I think for me it is the quarterbacks. You have

1537
01:10:19,400 --> 01:10:23,519
Speaker 12: two tremendous defenses. Which of these quarterbacks can craft the

1538
01:10:23,520 --> 01:10:26,479
Speaker 12: opposing defense and be your Super Bowl winner?

1539
01:10:27,160 --> 01:10:27,519
Speaker 3: I love it.

1540
01:10:28,080 --> 01:10:32,479
Speaker 4: We're so excited. We are so excited, Tracy, We're.

1541
01:10:32,320 --> 01:10:32,840
Speaker 3: Gonna let you go.

1542
01:10:32,840 --> 01:10:35,360
Speaker 2: Okay, Now we're gonna we're gonna call and bring in

1543
01:10:35,960 --> 01:10:40,240
Speaker 2: Little Nikky K, who's also going to be which is

1544
01:10:40,240 --> 01:10:42,479
Speaker 2: going to be so fun for anybody if you haven't

1545
01:10:42,520 --> 01:10:46,360
Speaker 2: been listening already. We are going to be on Fox

1546
01:10:46,360 --> 01:10:52,200
Speaker 2: Sports Radio, YouTube and then no, okay, all right, so no,

1547
01:10:52,240 --> 01:10:53,679
Speaker 2: we don't have Little Nicky K yet. So we're gonna

1548
01:10:53,720 --> 01:10:56,000
Speaker 2: keep you on Tracy until she comes on here.

1549
01:10:57,840 --> 01:10:59,160
Speaker 3: And talk forever.

1550
01:10:59,360 --> 01:11:01,240
Speaker 4: Agree, Okay, can't we all?

1551
01:11:01,560 --> 01:11:04,639
Speaker 3: Isn't that why we do what we do for a living?

1552
01:11:05,320 --> 01:11:05,880
Speaker 4: What we do?

1553
01:11:06,400 --> 01:11:08,479
Speaker 2: But what can people expect from our Super I mean,

1554
01:11:08,520 --> 01:11:11,120
Speaker 2: we know what to expect, but what can people expect

1555
01:11:11,200 --> 01:11:13,840
Speaker 2: from our Super Week shows next week?

1556
01:11:14,200 --> 01:11:15,640
Speaker 4: Give them the tea person all.

1557
01:11:15,680 --> 01:11:18,559
Speaker 12: I think we have an all female led show, which

1558
01:11:18,600 --> 01:11:20,599
Speaker 12: I think is so cool and I don't but Noma,

1559
01:11:20,680 --> 01:11:23,320
Speaker 12: how many of those are going on with four? May

1560
01:11:23,360 --> 01:11:25,920
Speaker 12: I say, amazing women. But we're going to be talking sports,

1561
01:11:26,000 --> 01:11:28,760
Speaker 12: We're going to be talking pop culture. We're talking entertainment

1562
01:11:29,240 --> 01:11:32,120
Speaker 12: and bringing it all together and bringing each each of

1563
01:11:32,200 --> 01:11:36,120
Speaker 12: us as such a unique perspective about football, about the NFL,

1564
01:11:36,160 --> 01:11:38,000
Speaker 12: about entertainment, and we're going to be able to bring

1565
01:11:38,040 --> 01:11:41,360
Speaker 12: those perspectives together, talk about them, collaborate on them. And

1566
01:11:41,439 --> 01:11:43,479
Speaker 12: I just think that's going to be so much fun.

1567
01:11:43,520 --> 01:11:43,720
Speaker 11: We have.

1568
01:11:43,840 --> 01:11:46,280
Speaker 12: We have so much fun on these shows that you

1569
01:11:46,280 --> 01:11:49,080
Speaker 12: guys are doing right now. So when you bring those

1570
01:11:49,080 --> 01:11:52,280
Speaker 12: four of us together with all of our different backgrounds,

1571
01:11:52,320 --> 01:11:55,519
Speaker 12: perspective specialties, I just think that is going to be

1572
01:11:56,000 --> 01:11:58,720
Speaker 12: so cool for people to be a part of. We're

1573
01:11:58,760 --> 01:12:00,920
Speaker 12: going to have some fun game going on. We're gonna

1574
01:12:00,960 --> 01:12:04,920
Speaker 12: have analysis. We are like basically, may I say, you're

1575
01:12:04,920 --> 01:12:07,800
Speaker 12: perfect Super Week coverage basically, I mean not that two

1576
01:12:07,840 --> 01:12:08,519
Speaker 12: are on Horn, But I.

1577
01:12:08,479 --> 01:12:08,960
Speaker 3: Think we are.

1578
01:12:11,640 --> 01:12:13,799
Speaker 5: I want to talk about just kind of how crazy

1579
01:12:13,880 --> 01:12:16,200
Speaker 5: everything is just super Bowl Week in general, so it's

1580
01:12:16,240 --> 01:12:19,440
Speaker 5: not just radio row, but I mean we're doing Wednesday

1581
01:12:19,479 --> 01:12:23,960
Speaker 5: Thursday Friday eight am call times Wednesday Thursday, nine am Friday.

1582
01:12:24,160 --> 01:12:28,640
Speaker 3: But like the events surrounding the super Bowl. So are

1583
01:12:28,680 --> 01:12:30,920
Speaker 3: you are you going to go do honors, Tracy?

1584
01:12:32,800 --> 01:12:36,160
Speaker 12: I am doing part of honors, so I will be

1585
01:12:36,280 --> 01:12:38,280
Speaker 12: I will be at honors. You will see me on

1586
01:12:38,320 --> 01:12:40,720
Speaker 12: the carpet, which will be really fun. And so I

1587
01:12:40,760 --> 01:12:43,920
Speaker 12: am doing that and then going to a bunch of events.

1588
01:12:43,960 --> 01:12:45,679
Speaker 12: And that's the thing with Super Bowl. You're going from

1589
01:12:45,720 --> 01:12:48,559
Speaker 12: sting to thing at every moment, and then the nighttime

1590
01:12:48,600 --> 01:12:49,760
Speaker 12: events starts so late.

1591
01:12:50,040 --> 01:12:50,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, that late.

1592
01:12:51,320 --> 01:12:54,080
Speaker 12: Invest in eye patches. Invest in eye patches. That's the

1593
01:12:54,120 --> 01:12:56,880
Speaker 12: best advice that I can give pretty much anybody. But

1594
01:12:57,000 --> 01:12:59,400
Speaker 12: they start so late. But there's just so many things

1595
01:12:59,479 --> 01:13:02,880
Speaker 12: going on at any one time. But that's also kind

1596
01:13:02,880 --> 01:13:05,800
Speaker 12: of cool because you get to experience so many things.

1597
01:13:05,800 --> 01:13:07,800
Speaker 12: If you're not at one, you're at something else, and

1598
01:13:08,200 --> 01:13:10,519
Speaker 12: it is a jam packed day. I always this is

1599
01:13:10,560 --> 01:13:13,160
Speaker 12: a joke. I always tell myself every year, I'm going

1600
01:13:13,200 --> 01:13:15,080
Speaker 12: to pack workout clothes. I can get a workout and

1601
01:13:15,120 --> 01:13:18,559
Speaker 12: everything I know what a gym is never happens.

1602
01:13:20,680 --> 01:13:24,080
Speaker 3: I don't even I don't even kid myself anymore. I don't.

1603
01:13:24,200 --> 01:13:24,519
Speaker 3: I don't.

1604
01:13:24,560 --> 01:13:27,840
Speaker 5: Actually I don't even bring my workout gear. Yeah, your

1605
01:13:27,840 --> 01:13:28,360
Speaker 5: workout gear.

1606
01:13:28,400 --> 01:13:32,000
Speaker 4: Also walking from event to event and walking.

1607
01:13:32,320 --> 01:13:33,799
Speaker 3: These are in convention centers.

1608
01:13:33,880 --> 01:13:36,120
Speaker 5: And when I tell you like I have not, I

1609
01:13:36,120 --> 01:13:38,120
Speaker 5: have yet to go to a radio row at Super

1610
01:13:38,120 --> 01:13:41,760
Speaker 5: Bowl that I didn't have to walk a ton just

1611
01:13:41,760 --> 01:13:44,680
Speaker 5: to get in between, like where the credential pickup is

1612
01:13:44,840 --> 01:13:48,280
Speaker 5: versus like where the entrance is versus like getting into

1613
01:13:48,320 --> 01:13:49,320
Speaker 5: the convention center.

1614
01:13:50,439 --> 01:13:55,000
Speaker 2: Okay, real quick game, yes before before we let you go,

1615
01:13:55,200 --> 01:13:56,960
Speaker 2: just because I feel like you're going to have a good,

1616
01:13:57,360 --> 01:13:58,760
Speaker 2: a good feel on this and you're going to be

1617
01:13:58,880 --> 01:14:03,880
Speaker 2: NFL Honors. Give us your pitch for Comeback Player of

1618
01:14:03,920 --> 01:14:05,600
Speaker 2: the Year. And why it's Christian McCaffrey.

1619
01:14:07,360 --> 01:14:09,320
Speaker 12: Uh, because it's Christian McCaffrey.

1620
01:14:09,840 --> 01:14:10,879
Speaker 7: Maybe because you look.

1621
01:14:10,720 --> 01:14:14,640
Speaker 12: At I think it's very unusual. Basically because it's Christian McAffrey.

1622
01:14:14,760 --> 01:14:17,680
Speaker 12: I think it's very unusual to have a player who,

1623
01:14:17,880 --> 01:14:20,040
Speaker 12: by no means is old, but he's getting later into

1624
01:14:20,040 --> 01:14:23,080
Speaker 12: his career, coming off and Achilles and CAF injury a

1625
01:14:23,200 --> 01:14:25,880
Speaker 12: running back, no less to go out to go out

1626
01:14:25,920 --> 01:14:29,920
Speaker 12: the next season and basically carry his team to almost

1627
01:14:30,000 --> 01:14:32,720
Speaker 12: have a one thousand yard one thousand yard season. He's

1628
01:14:32,760 --> 01:14:35,439
Speaker 12: only missed, missed it by like seventy receiving yards. It

1629
01:14:35,520 --> 01:14:38,479
Speaker 12: was not that many. Yeah, and he, to me, he's

1630
01:14:38,520 --> 01:14:41,880
Speaker 12: the MVP because the San Francisco team, for everything that

1631
01:14:41,920 --> 01:14:44,760
Speaker 12: everybody else did and the way they came together, there's

1632
01:14:44,760 --> 01:14:49,200
Speaker 12: no Christian McCaffrey. This team maybe won three games. Maybe

1633
01:14:49,479 --> 01:14:52,240
Speaker 12: he to me is just so. To me, he's the MVP.

1634
01:14:52,479 --> 01:14:54,960
Speaker 12: So it's a no brainer in comeback Player of the

1635
01:14:55,040 --> 01:14:56,639
Speaker 12: Year when you see what he did and it's.

1636
01:14:56,479 --> 01:14:57,240
Speaker 4: Such a high level.

1637
01:14:57,320 --> 01:14:59,400
Speaker 12: I mean it was I it was if he never

1638
01:14:59,479 --> 01:15:02,040
Speaker 12: it was if you had never missed the season before.

1639
01:15:01,920 --> 01:15:05,200
Speaker 2: Which is to say that now we're both we were

1640
01:15:05,240 --> 01:15:08,920
Speaker 2: both hands down, same easy pick. All right, Tracy, we
