1 00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:11,680 Speaker 1: This is straight fire with Jason McIntyre. What is up, 2 00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:16,320 Speaker 1: straight fire, fam, It's me Jason McIntyre. Straight fire for Monday, 3 00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:20,520 Speaker 1: January thirty one, the end of the month, and uh, 4 00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:24,840 Speaker 1: January ended with quite the bang on Sunday. Two more thrilling, 5 00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:29,880 Speaker 1: ridiculously incredible NFL playoff games. It's crazy. One of the 6 00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:32,440 Speaker 1: stats that I mean, I'm driving home from the Rams game. 7 00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:34,840 Speaker 1: Not driving, I'm in the back of a car. Uh, 8 00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:38,400 Speaker 1: and I'm I'm looking at um, you know, the condensed 9 00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:40,800 Speaker 1: view of Rams niners, just because like the game I 10 00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:44,560 Speaker 1: thought was amazing and it dawns upon me. Holy cow. 11 00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:47,480 Speaker 1: So the Division round was awesome, four close games, all 12 00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:50,880 Speaker 1: determined late. And these two games Sunday, one determined in 13 00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:53,680 Speaker 1: overtime and the other deerament on a late field goal. 14 00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:57,319 Speaker 1: So that's sixth straight pretty incredible NFL playoff games. And 15 00:00:57,560 --> 00:00:59,880 Speaker 1: the drama in this league is unbelievable. I mean, the 16 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:06,280 Speaker 1: underdogs were howling, howling, as Brent Musburger said, um on 17 00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:10,679 Speaker 1: Sunday with Cincinnati winning out right, who the hell had that? 18 00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:15,560 Speaker 1: And San Francisco covering three and a half. Luckily, if 19 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:20,800 Speaker 1: you had Rams moneyline, you got home. Rams minus three pushed. Um, 20 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:22,600 Speaker 1: I don't know we could. We could start with bashing 21 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:24,520 Speaker 1: Pat Mahomes and his brother. Well, I don't know why 22 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:27,959 Speaker 1: people are dunking on Patrick mahomes TikTok loving brother on 23 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:31,759 Speaker 1: social media. That's rob That's just something I missed. But 24 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:36,040 Speaker 1: ha ha ha, I guess it's funny. Um, I want 25 00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,600 Speaker 1: to start with rams Niners. I was very fortunate enough 26 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:43,240 Speaker 1: to get some tickets from Fox for rams Niners. You 27 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:45,240 Speaker 1: know you could. You don't want to get greedy and 28 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:49,480 Speaker 1: ask for tickets to everything, so I think, you know, 29 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,000 Speaker 1: back in the day, I asked for Dodgers tickets and 30 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:54,559 Speaker 1: they came through. And I asked for Dodgers playoff tickets 31 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,120 Speaker 1: and they came through. And um, this is one of 32 00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:58,360 Speaker 1: those rare moments where I was like, you know what 33 00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:00,040 Speaker 1: I haven't asked for NFL tickets? Is the fine A 34 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:01,680 Speaker 1: Fox came at the season, I'm not gonna be able 35 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:03,280 Speaker 1: to get Super Bowl tickets because they don't have the 36 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:05,760 Speaker 1: Super Bowl? Why don't I just ask? And they were like, 37 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:09,400 Speaker 1: I I'm just gonna keep it here. Um, I did 38 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 1: ask for a lot more than tickets. Uh, And someone 39 00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 1: told me, you know, I just asked for the moon 40 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 1: and you'll get the stars or whatever it is. Whatever 41 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:22,440 Speaker 1: that's saying is um And they came through, and folks, 42 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:24,840 Speaker 1: it was. It was an incredible experience. My kids came 43 00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 1: with us. And I will say, as someone who was 44 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 1: on the RAMS, I have a Super Bowl futures from 45 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:32,200 Speaker 1: the day they traded for Stafford or whenever the odds 46 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:33,959 Speaker 1: came out. It might have been the next day. I 47 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,160 Speaker 1: wrote about it for Fox Sports. I like this RAMS team, man, 48 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:40,400 Speaker 1: I like McVeigh. McVeigh had a terrible Sunday, by the way, 49 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 1: and I like the Ramps. So I was rooting for 50 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:44,519 Speaker 1: the Rams. So I roll up.

Um a couple uh you know, people were 132 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,920 Speaker 1: like doubting forties in the parking lot as we're walking 133 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 1: up to the stadium and they see us in Rams 134 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:49,719 Speaker 1: gear and they go, don't do that to the kids, 135 00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:53,000 Speaker 1: don't make them see seventh straight.

There were a lot of Niners. Niners 142 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,840 Speaker 1: fans of the game. I thought it was gonna be 143 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 1: a little more rams, but there was a lot of 144 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:17,400 Speaker 1: a lot of fans there. There's no way around it, 145 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,080 Speaker 1: you know. There was a lot and our section had 146 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:23,120 Speaker 1: a bunch, and I guess the problem was it was 147 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 1: very liquored up crowd near us, and these guys were 148 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,360 Speaker 1: just like, I mean, like they didn't want to sit down. 149 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:32,000 Speaker 1: They would like stand in the aisland. We're like on 150 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:33,840 Speaker 1: the seat next to the aisland, like row one of 151 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:37,200 Speaker 1: this section, and so they're just like, you know, celebrate, 152 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 1: just going crazy and my daughter's like this is nerve wracking, 153 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 1: you know. And then they kind of bumping and spelling 154 00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 1: and they were very pleasant. Um, but I know how 155 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,520 Speaker 1: to deal with these guys. I'm just like, yo, what, yeah, 156 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:51,320 Speaker 1: can you just keep the you know, beer from hovering 157 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 1: over my kid's heads? You know. But they're like, you know, 158 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:58,440 Speaker 1: it's screaming obscenities. And again, it was a great experience. 159 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:03,120 Speaker 1: It was an awesome game, um, but it was definitely 160 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:07,320 Speaker 1: something to behold for Niners fans. Um. I hadn't seen 161 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:09,880 Speaker 1: a scene like that, uh in a while. But it 162 00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 1: made it even sweeter when the Rams came back and 163 00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:16,320 Speaker 1: want and listen, I don't want to hear ship about 164 00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:20,360 Speaker 1: Matt Stafford anymore. Okay, this guy had lost twenty six 165 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:22,800 Speaker 1: straight starts when he was down by ten or more 166 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:26,720 Speaker 1: entering the fourth, twenty six in a row and a 167 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,320 Speaker 1: no lie, no no, no cap as the kids say, 168 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:34,880 Speaker 1: seventeen seven. And I'm just like, this kind of feels 169 00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:39,240 Speaker 1: over if it was just no energy, no vibe, and 170 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:41,720 Speaker 1: you know, the Rams defense couldn't get stops. I saw 171 00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:43,960 Speaker 1: Rob tweeting about it, the air, lack of air and nonald. 172 00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:45,480 Speaker 1: He did show up very late in the game on 173 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:49,440 Speaker 1: the deciding Jimmy g interception. Um, but like this Rams 174 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:51,839 Speaker 1: defense just it's not like the four Niners were carving 175 00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:53,880 Speaker 1: him up. They did have their share of big plays. Obviously, 176 00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:58,040 Speaker 1: Deebo Samuel a heroic effort. But my big takeaway is 177 00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:00,160 Speaker 1: Matt Stafford is a man, and this is why you 178 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,200 Speaker 1: trade for him. This is why you go and add 179 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:04,600 Speaker 1: Odell Beckham. It's like Odell Beckham is the number one. 180 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 1: He's not a number one anymore. Let's be clear, that's obvious. Okay. 181 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:08,520 Speaker 1: He was the number one back in the day with 182 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,920 Speaker 1: the Giants. Putting up huge numbers on losing teams. Him 183 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:15,120 Speaker 1: as a number two is incredible. Nine for a buck, 184 00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:18,480 Speaker 1: thirteen getting open all game long, and when you could 185 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:22,480 Speaker 1: play him as your two of Cooper Cup, Hello, you 186 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:27,520 Speaker 1: got a squad um Cooper Cup. He deserves a place 187 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:31,920 Speaker 1: in ray M's history. At this point, there were so 188 00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:35,800 Speaker 1: many third downs robbed where it was all right, third 189 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:37,840 Speaker 1: and five, what are we doing? And who were looking for? 190 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,040 Speaker 1: What's the game plan? And I would go to my family, 191 00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:42,520 Speaker 1: like where's Cooper Cup? And I point him out. I'm like, okay, 192 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:44,200 Speaker 1: number ten, he's in this lot, he's on the outside. 193 00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:46,960 Speaker 1: Just watch his route. Don't look anybody else. Watch Cooper Cup. 194 00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,720 Speaker 1: And I swear he must have had rob at least 195 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:54,320 Speaker 1: five or six third down conversions and dead on they 196 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,640 Speaker 1: said on the broadcast he had six? Is it? Say? Okay? 197 00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:59,560 Speaker 1: And I'm telling you, I've never heard of stadium as 198 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:04,160 Speaker 1: loud as on the drive that ended up giving them 199 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:07,680 Speaker 1: the lead. There was a third and three and you know, 200 00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:09,560 Speaker 1: the wife and daughter were in the bathroom at this point, 201 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:12,600 Speaker 1: and everybody's all geeks because it's all rams coming back, 202 00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,200 Speaker 1: Rams coming back, Come on, we got this and they're 203 00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:19,600 Speaker 1: facing a third and three at the thirty seven, and 204 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm doing the math calculations. I'm like, no way, 205 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:24,160 Speaker 1: They're putting Matt Gay out for a fifty four yard 206 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,520 Speaker 1: field goal after he missed one earlier. This is too 207 00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:28,760 Speaker 1: down territory. But I said to my son third down, 208 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:30,440 Speaker 1: who were looking for, He's like Cooper Cup. He's gotta 209 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:32,920 Speaker 1: be Cup. We watched him and he just shakes. I 210 00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:35,040 Speaker 1: think it was Thomas that he just clowned off the 211 00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:37,240 Speaker 1: line of scrimmage. By the way, and again without watching 212 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:40,200 Speaker 1: the telecast, you can't see every replay, so I mean 213 00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 1: they showed plenty of replays, but like I think it 214 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,400 Speaker 1: was Aubrey. Thomas just got roasted left and right. Rob 215 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,320 Speaker 1: Is that a Is that who it was on that 216 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 1: specific player? I'm not sure, so go ahead. In real 217 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:55,880 Speaker 1: time it looked like he got lit up. When they 218 00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:59,440 Speaker 1: showed it in SlowMo replay on the Fox tatlecast. He 219 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:03,440 Speaker 1: was great position. Given you know who he's going. He 220 00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:06,480 Speaker 1: was right there. It's just he had just enough space 221 00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:08,280 Speaker 1: and Stafford. But it exactly where it happened to be. 222 00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:12,440 Speaker 1: And and Cup I think took it twenty five years. 223 00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:15,120 Speaker 1: But I've once the pass is caught by Cup on 224 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:19,440 Speaker 1: like the slant after he shook him with the footwork. Um, 225 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:21,840 Speaker 1: you know, he starts making this move and you see 226 00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 1: the middle of the fields open. You're like, holy sh it, 227 00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:26,440 Speaker 1: is he going to score? And my son and I 228 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:29,360 Speaker 1: are just like, I mean, it was bedlam. Like I've 229 00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:31,920 Speaker 1: never heard of stadium that loud. At NFL stadium and 230 00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:33,800 Speaker 1: the NBA is different because it's like closed, but this 231 00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,920 Speaker 1: is kind of open um and I've never heard of that. 232 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,160 Speaker 1: It was just like people freaking out. Now this is 233 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,800 Speaker 1: the funny part. This is the final fan thing. So 234 00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:44,200 Speaker 1: in our row there was a RAMS fan who was 235 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:46,760 Speaker 1: friends there with the forty Niners fan, and the Rams 236 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,960 Speaker 1: fan was hammered, okay, but after Cooper Cup catches it 237 00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,160 Speaker 1: and he's making the run, like everybody, oh my gosh, 238 00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:55,439 Speaker 1: just just screaming around, jumping, and the guy comes over 239 00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:57,600 Speaker 1: to my son and practically like hugs him and like 240 00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:01,000 Speaker 1: it's just and your knuckle bumps me. And then he 241 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:03,839 Speaker 1: walks up the stairs to go celebrate with other Rams 242 00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,880 Speaker 1: fans and Robbi kid you not. Within like five seconds, 243 00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:08,320 Speaker 1: out of the corner of my eye, I see him 244 00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:12,240 Speaker 1: tumbling down stick right down in the seats like boom, 245 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:14,839 Speaker 1: boom boom, and everybody's like, oh my gosh, you're okay. 246 00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:16,679 Speaker 1: And he's like on his back, turtled up. He's like, 247 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:19,559 Speaker 1: oh okay, I got this. And my son is just like, 248 00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:23,440 Speaker 1: oh my brand I mean rob, I mean, the guy 249 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,560 Speaker 1: was destroyed. He's gonna be so sore today. But he 250 00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:30,240 Speaker 1: falls down at least four rows. He didn't land on anybody, 251 00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:32,400 Speaker 1: because at this point, you know, fans are feeling like, 252 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:35,000 Speaker 1: oh damn it um and this that was like just 253 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:38,079 Speaker 1: a crazy celebration and the Rams end up winning. And 254 00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:41,000 Speaker 1: I don't know, listen, I didn't think McVeigh had a 255 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,719 Speaker 1: good game over two on challenges. I think he was 256 00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:45,360 Speaker 1: out of time. Ounce Robber was in the final like 257 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:48,480 Speaker 1: eight or nine minutes of the game. Yes, And you're like, 258 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:52,600 Speaker 1: they didn't show this stat at the stadium obviously, But 259 00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,000 Speaker 1: I go and jump on social media. Rams had been 260 00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:58,360 Speaker 1: one and twenty three went down double digits in the 261 00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:01,760 Speaker 1: second half under McVeigh. I get. I can't stress it enough. 262 00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:05,480 Speaker 1: This is why you go out and get Odell Beckham 263 00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:08,000 Speaker 1: nine for a buck thirteen. This is why you press 264 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,839 Speaker 1: the upgrade button from Jared goff to Matt Stafford. Now, 265 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:13,320 Speaker 1: the Stafford interception the red zone was a killer. It 266 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:17,599 Speaker 1: was a little behind cup and you know it's a 267 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:20,960 Speaker 1: good play by the cornerback and obviously the defensive back there. 268 00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,600 Speaker 1: But like, this is why you get Stafford, this is 269 00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:26,920 Speaker 1: why you get O'Dell, This is why uh Eric Eric 270 00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,760 Speaker 1: Weddle actually had a pretty solid game. I believe um 271 00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:32,959 Speaker 1: von Miller Uh one tackle for loss. He didn't have 272 00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:36,560 Speaker 1: a sack. They actually didn't sack Jimmy g Um Aaron 273 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:40,000 Speaker 1: Donald the superstar finally made a play on like the 274 00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:42,719 Speaker 1: deciding play of the game on Jimmy Garoppolo. But it's 275 00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:46,000 Speaker 1: just one of those games, Like, man, this Rams team 276 00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:48,400 Speaker 1: is something special. I you know, again, we're gonna get 277 00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:50,920 Speaker 1: to the game the super Bowl. I've I love the 278 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:54,040 Speaker 1: Rams and the Super Bowl against the Bengals, probably irrationally so. Uh, 279 00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,800 Speaker 1: it's just a good matchup XS and os for them. Uh, 280 00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:58,679 Speaker 1: they're not a great matchup for the Niners. And it 281 00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:02,400 Speaker 1: showed because Deebo Samuel continued to just be a menace 282 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:05,760 Speaker 1: to society. What an amazing player he is. You know, 283 00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:08,720 Speaker 1: it's one of those things where, like I would say 284 00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:11,280 Speaker 1: on third down. Just find Cooper Cup they're gonna go. 285 00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:13,400 Speaker 1: Just watch him go to work. And it was the 286 00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:16,400 Speaker 1: same thing with Deebot. But Rob, I was stunned that 287 00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:18,719 Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan, who is going to catch heat for this. 288 00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:21,800 Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan did not have a great fourth quarter there. 289 00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,960 Speaker 1: He It was like almost like the tables have turned 290 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:29,360 Speaker 1: and um McVeigh if you you guys remember melted down 291 00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:33,800 Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter at home in week eighteen. What 292 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:38,080 Speaker 1: did Shanahan do? Bro? What was with that punt? Rob? 293 00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:44,120 Speaker 1: The punt from midfield right they're facing fourth, I'm sorry, 294 00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:48,240 Speaker 1: third and two. They handed to the fullback for nothing. 295 00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:50,200 Speaker 1: Then he fumbles like at the end of the play 296 00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:52,000 Speaker 1: of McVeigh. This is when he burned into their challenge 297 00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:55,920 Speaker 1: and he loses it. So as as it's very clear 298 00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:57,840 Speaker 1: that the challenge is going to be lost, and you 299 00:14:57,840 --> 00:14:59,680 Speaker 1: can see in the stadium when the defense starts to 300 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:03,120 Speaker 1: go back on the field, it's like, okay, I get it. 301 00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:06,400 Speaker 1: We're screwed. And then Kyle Shanahan says, you know what, 302 00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:08,560 Speaker 1: let's leave the offense on the field. And then it's 303 00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:11,200 Speaker 1: like a double whammy and you're just sitting there like, 304 00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:14,080 Speaker 1: oh my gosh, Doc, God, don't get this. And what 305 00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:18,600 Speaker 1: happens is Kyle Shanahan tries to draw them off sides. Rob, 306 00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:21,360 Speaker 1: that for me was one of the biggest stunners. This 307 00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:23,840 Speaker 1: is an awesome aggressive coach. And then you're like, oh, 308 00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:26,400 Speaker 1: wait a minute. This is the Kyle Shanahan who blew 309 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,680 Speaker 1: three leads an offensive coordinator with the Falcons. This is 310 00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:32,680 Speaker 1: the Kyle Shanahan who blew that Super Bowl fourth quarter 311 00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,120 Speaker 1: lead against the Chiefs, like you gotta stay aggressive, and 312 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:39,720 Speaker 1: he decidedly did not punting rams go down the field. Um, 313 00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:42,120 Speaker 1: I will point out as a forty Niner fan texted 314 00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:48,800 Speaker 1: me that tart dropped interception was absolutely brutal and Rob, 315 00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:51,560 Speaker 1: I don't know if you've seen that replay, but Van 316 00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:55,200 Speaker 1: Jefferson is streaking and I'm telling you he is a burner. 317 00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:57,880 Speaker 1: When you're watching, I'm watching him to the stadium. I'm like, 318 00:15:57,960 --> 00:15:59,800 Speaker 1: oh my gosh, Van Jefferson is open, He's gonna get 319 00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:02,000 Speaker 1: it down. And the ball goes up and then all 320 00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:04,000 Speaker 1: of a sudden, I thought it hit like a wire 321 00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:06,200 Speaker 1: or so one of those camera wires, because the ball 322 00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:09,200 Speaker 1: just drops and it's right into Tartans and somehow he 323 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:12,640 Speaker 1: dropped that and like the entire stadium is like, WHOA, 324 00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,480 Speaker 1: how the hell does that happen? I don't Rob it. 325 00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:18,640 Speaker 1: That's just one of those. And I think the next 326 00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:21,080 Speaker 1: play Odell caught on the sideline and they drilled him 327 00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:24,120 Speaker 1: in the helmet for fifteen yards and I was like, oh, 328 00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:26,200 Speaker 1: and the meltdown was on. Rob. I don't know. I 329 00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:31,040 Speaker 1: know you're a big Raiders guy, but um, can you 330 00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:34,440 Speaker 1: root for this Rams team? Absolutely? I mean I I 331 00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:37,040 Speaker 1: texted you after the game because you know you're bragging 332 00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:39,680 Speaker 1: about your seats that you know even though I don't, 333 00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:41,520 Speaker 1: even though I already knew that you were at the game, 334 00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:43,080 Speaker 1: but you have to make sure you send me pictures. 335 00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:48,320 Speaker 1: And I was like, hey, let me get too for 336 00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:50,440 Speaker 1: the stupid because my dad is a die hard Rams fan, 337 00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:52,640 Speaker 1: so when they want I called him and he was 338 00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:56,520 Speaker 1: so excited, you know about what happened. Um. I I 339 00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:58,640 Speaker 1: do have two things to add to to what you 340 00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:00,920 Speaker 1: said about the game. Number One, I don't think that 341 00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:05,000 Speaker 1: this validates Matt Stafford at all in this game because 342 00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:08,480 Speaker 1: they've already made a super Bowl with Jared Goff, Like 343 00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:10,840 Speaker 1: they've already been in this pinnacle like that this is 344 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:16,240 Speaker 1: not uncharted territory. If you're a Rams fan, he needs 345 00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:18,280 Speaker 1: to win it for them for for this trade to 346 00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:22,560 Speaker 1: be justified. That that's that's my opinion. This was expected, 347 00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:25,080 Speaker 1: they were I picked them. I picked them to win, 348 00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:28,920 Speaker 1: you know. And I think that um, Matt Stafford at 349 00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:32,560 Speaker 1: a good game. You know, the interception of the resident 350 00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:36,080 Speaker 1: was a killer. That dropped interception by Tart would have 351 00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:39,600 Speaker 1: ended the game. For the most there was still I 352 00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:42,560 Speaker 1: know to your point, it was there was not much 353 00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:44,880 Speaker 1: going on offensively for them. They didn't have anything really 354 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:48,560 Speaker 1: going and I think that would have been like a 355 00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:52,560 Speaker 1: backbreaking interception had he caught it. Um, I think that 356 00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:55,280 Speaker 1: this one was more on Kyle Shannon had than anything else. 357 00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:58,440 Speaker 1: I mean, fun fact, you brought up Deebo Samuel and 358 00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:01,399 Speaker 1: he was fantastic. George Kittle has a touchdown. There are 359 00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:05,159 Speaker 1: two best offensive weapons combined for one touch in the 360 00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:09,480 Speaker 1: fourth quarter, Kiddle and Deebo Kittle and Debo and and 361 00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:11,840 Speaker 1: and and and you know your point about the punt, 362 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:13,359 Speaker 1: and that's fair. You know, I know that analytics that 363 00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:15,880 Speaker 1: you should have went for it. I would. I didn't 364 00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:18,640 Speaker 1: really kill him at that point for for not going 365 00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:21,160 Speaker 1: for it initially, but once the failed challenge came out 366 00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:23,760 Speaker 1: from Sean McVeigh, which was a horrible challenge by the way, 367 00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:26,200 Speaker 1: I thought there would have been nothing better for San 368 00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:28,480 Speaker 1: Francisco than to just take all that momentum right there, 369 00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:30,400 Speaker 1: go for it on fourth and one, get the first 370 00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:32,199 Speaker 1: down and say not only are you added time outs, 371 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:34,040 Speaker 1: but we have the ball and we're at least gonna 372 00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:36,160 Speaker 1: get a field goal out of this. And he didn't 373 00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:37,920 Speaker 1: do it. So I thought that was a poor decision. 374 00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:45,560 Speaker 1: But Kyle Shanahan, after last night, has now orchestrated the 375 00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:50,480 Speaker 1: largest blown lead in Super Bowl history. Infamous the largest 376 00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:53,119 Speaker 1: fourth quarter blown lead in the Super Bowl, which was 377 00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:54,960 Speaker 1: against the Chiefs they were up ten and the fourth quarter, 378 00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:58,159 Speaker 1: and now the largest fourth quarter blown lead in a 379 00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:04,040 Speaker 1: conference championship, which is another ten points. Wow, that's not good. Now, 380 00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:08,200 Speaker 1: it's not good at all. Uh If he well, it's 381 00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:10,359 Speaker 1: pretty clo Listen, I will say I'm pretty glad I 382 00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:13,960 Speaker 1: did the mulligan on Jimmy G some thanks thanks to 383 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,200 Speaker 1: my guy who connected me, and it was like, listen, 384 00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:19,800 Speaker 1: you need to wise in up on Jimmy G who 385 00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:21,479 Speaker 1: was the guest we had last week, who was so 386 00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:25,640 Speaker 1: pro Dante Whitner. Dante Whitner great guest. He's a full 387 00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:27,639 Speaker 1: believer in Jimmy G. And he was so effusive I 388 00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:31,120 Speaker 1: had to almost question my Jimmy G take. And again, 389 00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:33,199 Speaker 1: I like Jimmy G. I'm gonna root for him, but 390 00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:35,879 Speaker 1: it's pretty clear the forty nine is gonna move on afterward, 391 00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:38,520 Speaker 1: you know, John Lynch, big hugs for Jimmy G. There 392 00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:41,560 Speaker 1: was like tears in the postgame pressor um. It was 393 00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:45,359 Speaker 1: one of those like oh man, just a tough spot 394 00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:50,560 Speaker 1: for Garoppolo. I didn't think he was terrible. We'll get 395 00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:52,439 Speaker 1: to you know, if you go, if you go down 396 00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:55,159 Speaker 1: the list of which quarterback had the worst Sunday, I 397 00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:58,280 Speaker 1: don't think it was Garoppolo. It was not Stafford and 398 00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:01,400 Speaker 1: it was not Burrow. Fox Sports Radio has the best 399 00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:04,280 Speaker 1: sports talk lineup in the nation.

You know, they went, let's let's 408 00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:33,960 Speaker 1: look at the play by play, Rob, Chiefs go touchdown, touchdown, touchdown, 409 00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:36,200 Speaker 1: and they end the half after the Bengals got a 410 00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:38,960 Speaker 1: tuddy driving inside the five, but they had no time 411 00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:41,880 Speaker 1: outs and Tyreek Hill gets tackled. And at the time, 412 00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:44,560 Speaker 1: You're like, oh, not ideal for my team total bet 413 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:49,399 Speaker 1: of thirty one, we would have got Why didn't they 414 00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:51,479 Speaker 1: kick the field goal? Now I was not watching at 415 00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:53,960 Speaker 1: the time. I did go back and watch the YouTube version, Rob. 416 00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:58,760 Speaker 1: Did they even discuss the field goal? Well? Andy Reid 417 00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:00,399 Speaker 1: said in the post game that they will. They had 418 00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:02,600 Speaker 1: time for two plays. It's just the way that that 419 00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:05,960 Speaker 1: play the Tyreek Hill played out. You know, they didn't 420 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,560 Speaker 1: have time to to get the the stop. Did you 421 00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:11,160 Speaker 1: kicked the field goal to get to get the time 422 00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:13,000 Speaker 1: out and then the field goal? And and this is 423 00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:16,560 Speaker 1: similar to the regular season matchup where the Chiefs dominated 424 00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:20,280 Speaker 1: the first half. They led twenty eight seventeen maybe I 425 00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:23,040 Speaker 1: know they led by fourteen twice, and this one they 426 00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:25,920 Speaker 1: led by eighteen. And then in the second half, I 427 00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:30,880 Speaker 1: don't want to say that the Chiefs like went into 428 00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:34,159 Speaker 1: like a prevent offense, but it sounds like, based on 429 00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:37,399 Speaker 1: um what I was reading, like the Bengals said, not 430 00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:40,600 Speaker 1: only are we gonna do the too deep zone, but 431 00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:42,960 Speaker 1: we're gonna only rush three or four every time. Like 432 00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:46,240 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, We're just We're not. And Trey Hendrickson got 433 00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:50,160 Speaker 1: home and Sam Hubbard got home and Mahomes, who had 434 00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:54,240 Speaker 1: faced this against the Bills, he did, but he was patient, 435 00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:57,920 Speaker 1: He did not uncork any bombs, and he was able 436 00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:00,960 Speaker 1: to scramble. Well, he was not able to scramble this time. 437 00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:05,080 Speaker 1: I mean the amount of bad sacks that Mahomes took 438 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:10,480 Speaker 1: in the second half, plus the ghastly interception um and 439 00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:14,840 Speaker 1: tossed in the overtime interception. It's just not a great game. Now, Listen, 440 00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:16,359 Speaker 1: I'm not out here to kill Mahomes. I know a 441 00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:19,480 Speaker 1: lot of people wanna wanna crush his brother for being 442 00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:24,720 Speaker 1: a d bag, But let's be realistic, rob Um. Everybody 443 00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:26,600 Speaker 1: is entitled to not a great game. It's not like 444 00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:29,000 Speaker 1: Pat Mahomes is out here with zero touchdowns and four picks. 445 00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:33,000 Speaker 1: He did not have a great game, and still rob 446 00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:34,720 Speaker 1: they win the overtime coin toss and they got a 447 00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:37,760 Speaker 1: chance to win the game. So I know it's gonna 448 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:40,240 Speaker 1: be fashionable. All you gotta kill the Chiefs, well do I? 449 00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:42,720 Speaker 1: I mean yeah, it was a bad choke job. I 450 00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:48,200 Speaker 1: saw this stat that, um Bengals eight point come back 451 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:50,680 Speaker 1: from eighteen down is the second biggest road come back 452 00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:54,199 Speaker 1: in NFL playoff history. And this one's a little bit 453 00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:58,840 Speaker 1: of a Patrick Mahomes versus every quarterback not named Joe Burrow. 454 00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:01,920 Speaker 1: When he's up by fourteen or more is thirty nine 455 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:04,320 Speaker 1: and two. So if he goes up two touchdowns, that's 456 00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:07,359 Speaker 1: a rap against Joe Burrow. Patrick Mahomes is now own to. 457 00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:10,960 Speaker 1: But you know when Rob is Mr Joe Burrow, he 458 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:16,240 Speaker 1: loves the guy. There's a lot of love. Um, this 459 00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:21,680 Speaker 1: isn't gonna be popular, but I I'm not even gonna 460 00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:23,920 Speaker 1: say no, I'm not. Um. I like Joe Burrow. I 461 00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:26,960 Speaker 1: think he's very good. He was exceptional eluding the pass rush, 462 00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:30,560 Speaker 1: making place he was essentially doing a Mahomes eluding the 463 00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:35,320 Speaker 1: pass rush, and then he was making plays whereas Mahomes 464 00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:39,159 Speaker 1: was not. Mahomes was eating sacks. And I think some 465 00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:41,480 Speaker 1: of this comes down obviously on the Chiefs defense, which 466 00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:44,520 Speaker 1: I mean Tee Higgins won just bonkers against them, six 467 00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:48,760 Speaker 1: for one oh three, Jamaar Chase six for fifty four touchdown. Uh. 468 00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:51,119 Speaker 1: They let a screen pass to some A G. P. 469 00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:53,399 Speaker 1: Ryan go to the house. This is not a good 470 00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:56,200 Speaker 1: Chief's defense. And we've seen this all year. I can't 471 00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:59,000 Speaker 1: kill them for not going to another super Bowl. That's 472 00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:01,520 Speaker 1: four straight a f C title games. But I definitely 473 00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:05,320 Speaker 1: don't think you can put them in the dynasty category. Um, 474 00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:07,040 Speaker 1: like I thought we were headed towards you know, three 475 00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:09,360 Speaker 1: super Bowl trips in a row, you feel like a dynasty, 476 00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:13,240 Speaker 1: even if you're not winning them all. This was a 477 00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:16,040 Speaker 1: stunning result. I had a couple of buddies who were 478 00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,959 Speaker 1: texting me, like, bro, your teasers in trouble, And I 479 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:20,959 Speaker 1: was like, it's gonna be fine, you know. It's this 480 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,600 Speaker 1: is what happens with the Chiefs all the time they 481 00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:25,119 Speaker 1: win the coin toss. I'm like, all right, just get 482 00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:26,400 Speaker 1: me to the window. All I need is to win. 483 00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:29,040 Speaker 1: And then it's like an interception and we're in the 484 00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:31,919 Speaker 1: ticket line outside to get in at so far and 485 00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:33,720 Speaker 1: I guess they were playing it on the oculus and 486 00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:36,399 Speaker 1: you're hearing all these crazy like oh my god, just 487 00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:40,400 Speaker 1: people freaking out like cheering. I guess everybody's rooting for January. 488 00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:44,919 Speaker 1: Joe Burrow and the Bengals. Um, I'm kind of stunned 489 00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:46,440 Speaker 1: that they made it here. This team was I think 490 00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:49,560 Speaker 1: two and fourteen, two years ago. You know, they were 491 00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:53,320 Speaker 1: underdogs against the Chiefs, against the Titans. I mean, hell, 492 00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:55,400 Speaker 1: a lot of people didn't think they'd beat the Frigan Raiders. 493 00:24:56,320 --> 00:25:00,080 Speaker 1: And here we have the Cincinnati Bengals going to the 494 00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:03,960 Speaker 1: Super Bowl with Zach Taylor. And this is the storyline 495 00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:08,040 Speaker 1: that I think outside of Joe Burrow, Will and Matt Stafford, 496 00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:11,040 Speaker 1: because quarterbacks everybody loves, I think this is gonna be 497 00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:15,160 Speaker 1: the big storyline rob this week, probably not Super Bowl week, 498 00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:19,000 Speaker 1: but Zach Taylor. We all laughed when he was hired 499 00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:21,920 Speaker 1: because essentially he had a cup of coffee once with McVeigh. 500 00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:25,399 Speaker 1: Remember that joke that was like everywhere. Yes, Well, I 501 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:29,720 Speaker 1: mean a couple of years later, Zach Taylor and McVeigh 502 00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:32,440 Speaker 1: are in the Super Bowl against each other. That is 503 00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:34,320 Speaker 1: kind of mind blowing. You know that emoji where the 504 00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:38,639 Speaker 1: heads exploding. Zach Taylor is in the Super Bowl, Like 505 00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:41,800 Speaker 1: say that out loud. This guy was a joke, so 506 00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:44,480 Speaker 1: terry he was. I think he was six and twenty 507 00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:48,800 Speaker 1: four or one or something awful coming into this season, 508 00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:53,000 Speaker 1: and now he's in the super Bowl. I can't say 509 00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:55,119 Speaker 1: that they can't win the super Bowl now, right, of 510 00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:57,480 Speaker 1: course I could win it. They're in it. Who knows 511 00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:00,040 Speaker 1: what happens Stafford has a melt out. I don't know, 512 00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:04,840 Speaker 1: but I'm just stunned, stunned that the Bengals are here. 513 00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:06,840 Speaker 1: I'm I'm happy the Rams are here. I'm rooting for 514 00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:11,159 Speaker 1: the Rams. I'll be betting the Rams. Rob You you 515 00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:14,440 Speaker 1: seem to like this Borrow gentleman a lot, huh. I'm 516 00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:17,639 Speaker 1: a big fan of Joe Burrow, Peter Burne's friend of 517 00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:19,600 Speaker 1: the podcast. You know we we've had him on before. 518 00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:23,240 Speaker 1: Great guy for the SEC Network and ESPN. Him and 519 00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:26,359 Speaker 1: Dan Orlovsky combined on Twitter during this playoff run for 520 00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:28,919 Speaker 1: Cincinnati for something they called had to have a games, 521 00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:33,439 Speaker 1: so either playoff elimination or games where you have to 522 00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:35,560 Speaker 1: win in order to secure a playoff for something like 523 00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:40,080 Speaker 1: something along those lines. Right going back to college, Joe 524 00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:42,800 Speaker 1: Burrow is now nine and oh and what they call 525 00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:47,879 Speaker 1: have to have a games, thirty one touchdowns, two picks. 526 00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:53,240 Speaker 1: Joe Burrow is money when the game's on the line, 527 00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:58,560 Speaker 1: all right, Like, there's few guys who can come back 528 00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:01,040 Speaker 1: from through period like that is just unusual. It's not 529 00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:03,760 Speaker 1: gonna happen very often. But more importantly, it takes a 530 00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:06,679 Speaker 1: certain kind of guy who has the composure and the 531 00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:10,440 Speaker 1: confidence to give you an opportunity to even come back. 532 00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:15,080 Speaker 1: And Joe Burrow has all that. And then something like 533 00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:19,640 Speaker 1: when you draft a quarterback, especially at quarterback number one, 534 00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:21,520 Speaker 1: you're going to a shitty team, like you mentioned, they 535 00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:26,080 Speaker 1: were two and fourteen the year they got him. You 536 00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:31,199 Speaker 1: get him because you want a culture changer. That's what 537 00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:34,919 Speaker 1: you hope for when you draft a Michael vick A, 538 00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:39,480 Speaker 1: Andrew Luck, Matthew Stafford, Peyton man named Cam Newton, whoever. Like, 539 00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:41,280 Speaker 1: that's what you want because you know the teams around 540 00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:45,080 Speaker 1: not gonna be any good. Joe Burrow his rookie season, 541 00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:48,320 Speaker 1: even though were cut short with injury. Everyone to a 542 00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:51,080 Speaker 1: man who watched him play, and oh, they got something 543 00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:53,840 Speaker 1: special with him. Even in the games they were losing, 544 00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:57,200 Speaker 1: they were in almost all of them. After being the 545 00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:59,960 Speaker 1: doormats of the NFL for a long time, and since 546 00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:03,800 Speaker 1: Natty he shows up, not only are they legitimate there 547 00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:05,879 Speaker 1: in the super Bowl in his second season, and it 548 00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:07,879 Speaker 1: made me think is something I wanted to get this 549 00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:10,600 Speaker 1: take off last week, but we didn't have time because, 550 00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:13,280 Speaker 1: you know, to be in all fairness, nobody really cared 551 00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:17,320 Speaker 1: about Cincinnati and Tennessee after what we had happened on 552 00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:21,480 Speaker 1: Sunday night with the Chiefs Bills. But I think that 553 00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:26,760 Speaker 1: even before he had this win yesterday, that Joe Burrow 554 00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:31,520 Speaker 1: was the best number one overall pick since Peyton Manning. Okay, 555 00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:34,520 Speaker 1: so who does that include going number one? Baker Mayfield, 556 00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:38,080 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray? So far, I think we would agree those 557 00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:44,760 Speaker 1: he's Burrow has been better. Now yes, um Burrow has yeah, 558 00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:50,160 Speaker 1: well now Kyla Murray has weapons. Um Baker Mayfield had weapons. Um, 559 00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:52,480 Speaker 1: so he's clearly better than those. Let's hear some of 560 00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:57,120 Speaker 1: the other more recent ones. Okay, So Jared Goff think 561 00:28:57,120 --> 00:28:59,760 Speaker 1: we can all agree that he's better than one first 562 00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:02,400 Speaker 1: but gay, okay, uh, you know, you go back a 563 00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:06,160 Speaker 1: few more years, you got Andrew luck, who I think 564 00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:08,520 Speaker 1: may have been the closest comparison with it. As for 565 00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:11,800 Speaker 1: our trajectory, but I think Andrew Luck. The idea of 566 00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:14,640 Speaker 1: Andrew Luck was much better than the actual quarterback because 567 00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:16,560 Speaker 1: I think he was a turnover machine. I mean he 568 00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:18,080 Speaker 1: was in his a f C in the a f 569 00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:20,320 Speaker 1: C title game in year three they got waxed by 570 00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:23,440 Speaker 1: Brady and the Patriots. But I think he went playoffs, playoffs. 571 00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:26,280 Speaker 1: Playoffs is first three years. Um, I have a soft 572 00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:27,800 Speaker 1: spot for Andrew Luck. I thought he was going to 573 00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:30,800 Speaker 1: be one of the all time great So okay, then 574 00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:35,040 Speaker 1: you got Cam Newton, you got an m v P. 575 00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:38,160 Speaker 1: Burrow has not one? He did Burro did burn? Did 576 00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:40,880 Speaker 1: they give out the award yet? Don't know? No, they 577 00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:44,080 Speaker 1: have not finished like top three or four? Right, Yeah, 578 00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:46,320 Speaker 1: I mean I I'd honestly be surprised if he got 579 00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:48,959 Speaker 1: a vote, you know, with the way that Brady and Rogers, 580 00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:53,800 Speaker 1: Brady and Rodgers. But yeah, you know you got Eli Manning. 581 00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:56,760 Speaker 1: I think it's a tough one, you know, comparison, and 582 00:29:56,800 --> 00:30:00,560 Speaker 1: then I know they come on Alex Smith. But wait, wait, wait, 583 00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:03,719 Speaker 1: Joe Burrow or Eli Mann who's a better quarterback? And 584 00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:06,800 Speaker 1: better does not mean winning Super Bowl? Yes, okay, good, yeah, 585 00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:09,200 Speaker 1: there there's no question. But what but what give Eli? 586 00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:12,720 Speaker 1: I mean you can't dismiss two Superwight. He's a super 587 00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:14,600 Speaker 1: Bowl super Bowl m v P, so I think he's 588 00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:16,320 Speaker 1: a super Bowl winning quoto X who was a Hall 589 00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:18,480 Speaker 1: of Famer. But it's funny because one of the big 590 00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:20,280 Speaker 1: knocks on Eli when people are saying he's not a 591 00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:22,760 Speaker 1: Hall of Famer, was he ever the best quarterback in 592 00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:26,080 Speaker 1: the league, like during the season ever, never, not even 593 00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:28,800 Speaker 1: was he even a top five And that's when it's 594 00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:31,880 Speaker 1: like never Joe Burrows. Already this season he was the 595 00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:34,440 Speaker 1: top five quarterback. So he's better than Eli Manning. Now, 596 00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:38,760 Speaker 1: Eli Manning is one more so you know, I'll just like, yeah, 597 00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:40,840 Speaker 1: I would say he's better than Eli, but so far, 598 00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:43,240 Speaker 1: I like, you know, Andrew Luck, I think it's the 599 00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:49,400 Speaker 1: toughest competitor. Cam Newton had a high ass uh ceiling right, Yeah, 600 00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:52,040 Speaker 1: I mean his MVP year was pretty ridiculous, but their 601 00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:56,960 Speaker 1: defense really carried them for large stretches of the playoffs. Um, 602 00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:59,320 Speaker 1: Cam Newton didn't make the playoffs for the first four 603 00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:06,880 Speaker 1: years of his Okay, like Joe Burrow and excuse me, 604 00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:09,160 Speaker 1: Andrew Luck made his first rookie season John Away within 605 00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:11,960 Speaker 1: the eighties. Whatever I'm going to count that, it's Andrew 606 00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,520 Speaker 1: Luck made his first year, and then it was Goff. 607 00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:16,520 Speaker 1: Burrow and Vic are the only one the ones to 608 00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:20,240 Speaker 1: make it their second year since Peyton Manning. None of 609 00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:24,480 Speaker 1: those guys made a want a conference champion conference title 610 00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:28,240 Speaker 1: within their first two years or even made the conference 611 00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:30,280 Speaker 1: championship game in their first two years. And he's already 612 00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:34,640 Speaker 1: won one. Joe Burrow arrowhead too. Yeah, on the road 613 00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:36,720 Speaker 1: against who I think is going to go down as 614 00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:41,000 Speaker 1: the greatest quarterback ever and they were down eighteen. Pretty impressive. 615 00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:45,800 Speaker 1: Like he he has something that whatever that it factor 616 00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:47,600 Speaker 1: is that everyone talks about. Oh, he just has it. 617 00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:50,400 Speaker 1: He has it. That's what Joe Burrow has. Like you 618 00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:53,040 Speaker 1: can't quantify it. Does he have the biggest arm? No? 619 00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:55,520 Speaker 1: Is he always the most accurate? No? Is he the 620 00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:58,560 Speaker 1: most athletic? Of course not. But there's something about him 621 00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:00,920 Speaker 1: and the way he commands the huddle, the way he 622 00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:03,720 Speaker 1: commands the team, the way that he gives them confidence 623 00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:07,560 Speaker 1: that they probably shouldn't have. That's why Joe Burrow to me, 624 00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:09,920 Speaker 1: is the best number one overall pick since Peyton Manning. 625 00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:13,000 Speaker 1: Um not gonna be popular. I'll just slide this in 626 00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:15,960 Speaker 1: as we move on. I'd take justin Herbert over Burrow. 627 00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:21,160 Speaker 1: I'm infatuated with with her missing the playoffs. Stop it, 628 00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:23,840 Speaker 1: stop it. You know who he reminds me of. And 629 00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:28,840 Speaker 1: it's interesting because you know, Joe Burrow is not a 630 00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:30,440 Speaker 1: guy we knew about in high school. I know what 631 00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:32,920 Speaker 1: one of our guests last week said, like he was 632 00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:35,440 Speaker 1: the Gatorade player of the year in Ohio, Like okay, 633 00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:38,720 Speaker 1: goes to a house date, like couldn't even get on 634 00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:42,520 Speaker 1: the field, transfers to l s U after the first year. 635 00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:45,000 Speaker 1: Nobody had him as an early round quarterback. Nobody even 636 00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:46,440 Speaker 1: he was talking about him in the draft. He was 637 00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:48,280 Speaker 1: gonna be like, oh, let's take a seventh round flyer 638 00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:51,960 Speaker 1: on Joe Burrow. But there was there was really nothing 639 00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:54,640 Speaker 1: about him. He's like one of these baseball players who 640 00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:56,200 Speaker 1: you just don't really know about it and and all of 641 00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:58,720 Speaker 1: a sudden pop quickly, like that doesn't happen really in 642 00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:05,000 Speaker 1: the NFL, I know eight, but like Deshaun Watson, um, uh, 643 00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:07,040 Speaker 1: who are the other best quarterbacks in the league right now? 644 00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:09,880 Speaker 1: I mean Aaron Rodgers we knew about obviously at college. 645 00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:13,160 Speaker 1: He I think he he should have went number one. Yeah, 646 00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:15,960 Speaker 1: he was number one, and then everyone talks about him 647 00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:19,040 Speaker 1: sliding like, but that was shocking at the time. Now 648 00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:22,360 Speaker 1: mahomes coming out. We everybody knew he was an early 649 00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:26,360 Speaker 1: first round pick. He had the talent, like, we knew 650 00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:28,240 Speaker 1: who he was. He was putting up every what is 651 00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:32,880 Speaker 1: the Arena League numbers in the Big twelve. But frankly, 652 00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:35,200 Speaker 1: nobody knew about Joe Burrow until that one year at 653 00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:37,960 Speaker 1: l s U And that, Folks was like four years ago, 654 00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:41,080 Speaker 1: maybe three, right, I think it was. Yeah, it's like 655 00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:44,480 Speaker 1: three or four years ago. And now he's being held 656 00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:47,320 Speaker 1: as like, I mean, this has come fast, and for me, 657 00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:50,760 Speaker 1: it's like a lot of people still don't know Joe Burrow. 658 00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:53,000 Speaker 1: I mean again, I like to do the Grandma the 659 00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:57,120 Speaker 1: mom test, hit the mom up Mom, Joe Burrow is 660 00:33:57,160 --> 00:34:00,320 Speaker 1: gonna be on Oprah. It's like, who well is not 661 00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:02,160 Speaker 1: really show anywhere? What's it? What's a new one? Ellen? 662 00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:05,320 Speaker 1: I guess Kelly Clarkson, I bet you if you were 663 00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:08,319 Speaker 1: to ask your mom or your grandmother, Hey, Joe Burrow 664 00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:09,960 Speaker 1: is gonna be on Allan and I don't know who 665 00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:11,600 Speaker 1: that is. And then they'll see him on TV and 666 00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:16,080 Speaker 1: they'll say, oh, look, Macaulay Culkin, that's like, like, no, no, 667 00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:19,280 Speaker 1: it's true. I mean even he embraces the look alike. 668 00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:21,279 Speaker 1: You know, he's he's cheered on Instagram and things like 669 00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:26,279 Speaker 1: our Instagram, Twitter. But Joe Burrow's curating is not high 670 00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:30,640 Speaker 1: at all outside of football fans sports fans. So to 671 00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:33,239 Speaker 1: your point, Yeah, he really came out of nowhere and 672 00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:35,200 Speaker 1: exploded on the scene in a way that I don't 673 00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:39,120 Speaker 1: think even his biggest defenders coming out of Ohio could 674 00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:41,359 Speaker 1: have ever expected. Yeah, I uh, it's a great story. 675 00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:44,560 Speaker 1: You know what reminds me of his like Kurt Warner Um, 676 00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:46,640 Speaker 1: who was he an even longer shot, came out of 677 00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:48,400 Speaker 1: nowhere and he was just all of a sudden like 678 00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:53,360 Speaker 1: dynamic with the Rams. And nobody anybody who says they 679 00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:55,960 Speaker 1: saw the Bengals make of the playoffs this years lying, Uh, 680 00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:58,719 Speaker 1: nobody had this happening this quickly. I mean, we knew 681 00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:02,600 Speaker 1: Burrow was good, but this good like I mean Burrows, Well, 682 00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:05,279 Speaker 1: let me correct you, Jason. Someone who's been on our 683 00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:08,720 Speaker 1: podcast before, I think it was last year. Remember, actor 684 00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:11,719 Speaker 1: comedian Gary Owen is a die hard Bengals fan, and 685 00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:13,319 Speaker 1: he had the belief, he said on our pot that 686 00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:14,560 Speaker 1: they were going to go to the Super Bowl. We 687 00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:17,400 Speaker 1: all laughed at him, of course, but but come on, 688 00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:19,759 Speaker 1: but but you know, we got to give him if 689 00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:21,239 Speaker 1: he was on our He was on our show, and 690 00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:23,080 Speaker 1: he said that we can't say it didn't happen because 691 00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:26,640 Speaker 1: it did happen. Yeah, I don't. We'll have plenty of 692 00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:29,320 Speaker 1: time to break the game down. But to me and listen, 693 00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:31,440 Speaker 1: what we this is a Monday pod. I know that 694 00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:33,200 Speaker 1: there's gonna be some way. Why didn't you talk about 695 00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:36,320 Speaker 1: Tom Brady? Like, Fox Sports Radio has the best sports 696 00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:39,120 Speaker 1: talk lineup in the nation.

Because yeah, 700 00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:50,960 Speaker 1: because technically he's still not retired, right, he's in needs 701 00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:53,640 Speaker 1: in retirement purgatory. Listen. It was Saturday. I had to 702 00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:58,160 Speaker 1: my son had a basketball like camp, junior all American 703 00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:01,120 Speaker 1: thing that anybody can go to, and it was, you know, 704 00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:04,480 Speaker 1: a bit of a poop show. Um, like a good event, 705 00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:08,520 Speaker 1: but in terms of like chaos, it was like a 706 00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:12,160 Speaker 1: lot of a lot of kids And I was like 707 00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:14,839 Speaker 1: late by like thirty minutes of even knowing Brady because 708 00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:17,040 Speaker 1: I don't have my phone. Uh, it was like in 709 00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:19,920 Speaker 1: my pocket watching basketball, and of course this texts are 710 00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:21,960 Speaker 1: blowing up, and I just I didn't really pay attention 711 00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:24,440 Speaker 1: to him. And it's like tom Brady's retiree. I was like, 712 00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:28,360 Speaker 1: come on, it's not real. And then all of a sudden, 713 00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:31,040 Speaker 1: it's like Tom Brady's dad is poo pooing it. And 714 00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:34,440 Speaker 1: who else said that it wasn't true. Oh, tom Brady's 715 00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:37,359 Speaker 1: agent came out and was like, yeah, nothing's confirmed. But 716 00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:39,879 Speaker 1: the one thing about Brady that's interesting is the guy 717 00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:42,040 Speaker 1: who looks at all the contracts. I think that what 718 00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:46,200 Speaker 1: is the handle spot track or sports spot track? He 719 00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:52,640 Speaker 1: said that Tom Brady is due fifteen million of his 720 00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:59,759 Speaker 1: twenty million dollar salary February four. Probably word leaked out 721 00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:05,120 Speaker 1: that he might consider retiring. Maybe he will, he probably will, 722 00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:07,560 Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden people ran with it, 723 00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:09,440 Speaker 1: and it's like, well, wait a second, he needs to 724 00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:12,800 Speaker 1: collect that money. But here's the interesting part. Who would 725 00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:17,760 Speaker 1: leak the story? Rob would the Bucks kind of maybe 726 00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:22,200 Speaker 1: piste off say this guy is freaking gonna retire? Are 727 00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:24,080 Speaker 1: you kidding me? And they put it out there angly 728 00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:27,239 Speaker 1: because you know, if Brady's gone, Gronk is gone. I'm 729 00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:29,160 Speaker 1: just all I'll say on Brady and we can dive 730 00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:32,120 Speaker 1: deeper because I know this story is not done. I 731 00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:34,879 Speaker 1: will believe it when Brady is not out there week 732 00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:38,799 Speaker 1: one of rob because we've seen this with Brett Farf 733 00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:42,640 Speaker 1: waffling back and forth, back and forth. We'll see this 734 00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:46,600 Speaker 1: week one. I mean, I guess maybe in August will know. 735 00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:50,320 Speaker 1: But of course Brady's ticked off. They lost in the playoffs. 736 00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:55,040 Speaker 1: Is this a leverage play from Brady? Hey? I want Godwin, 737 00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:57,840 Speaker 1: I want for Net, I want this, that and the 738 00:37:57,880 --> 00:38:01,440 Speaker 1: other like this would be the ultimate plex, right, Brady 739 00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:04,160 Speaker 1: basically saying I threw forty yards and I led the 740 00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:07,479 Speaker 1: league in touchdowns. Y'all bitches, better give me what I want. 741 00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:10,399 Speaker 1: You know that. I mean, I can see Brady being 742 00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:15,520 Speaker 1: super piste off, right, Um do you? First of all, 743 00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:18,920 Speaker 1: I'm just curious. Do you think he's done? Yes? Wow? 744 00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:22,680 Speaker 1: Just going out like that, huh? I mean, I guess 745 00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:25,200 Speaker 1: that is not the worst way to go out. Say 746 00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:29,160 Speaker 1: you know what, I had an awesome season. I'm not 747 00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:33,640 Speaker 1: the reason we lost. His last play will be a 748 00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:37,359 Speaker 1: game time touchdown after coming back from down we saw 749 00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:40,680 Speaker 1: Peyton Manning go out with a whimper in The Super Boy. 750 00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:42,239 Speaker 1: I think he threw for a hundred six yards. That 751 00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:45,359 Speaker 1: whole season was a disaster. The story was he was hurt, 752 00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:47,440 Speaker 1: but I'm almost certain he got benched because he was 753 00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:49,879 Speaker 1: that bad. He was throwing just picks on picks on picks. 754 00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:54,400 Speaker 1: It was bad. Dan marino final game lost a playoff 755 00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:59,359 Speaker 1: game to the Jaguars seven. I don't even remember Jim 756 00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:02,560 Speaker 1: Kelly's final game. I think Joe Montana's was a playoff 757 00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:04,600 Speaker 1: loss with the Chiefs or did they not make it 758 00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:07,200 Speaker 1: that year. I don't know. Um, but a lot of 759 00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:09,440 Speaker 1: guys they don't go out on top. My only thing is, 760 00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:12,000 Speaker 1: like Brady said he wanted to play to what forty 761 00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:14,680 Speaker 1: five or fifty? Like, yeah, he said forty five. It 762 00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:18,759 Speaker 1: just feels like it was weird. For a couple of years, 763 00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:20,720 Speaker 1: it's been like all, Brady's gotta retire, Brady's gotta retire. 764 00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:23,840 Speaker 1: But now he's been so good, It's like, why is 765 00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:27,640 Speaker 1: Brady retiring? You know? Yeah, I think if he does retire, 766 00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:29,680 Speaker 1: why I do think he's retired, but I think his 767 00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:32,879 Speaker 1: reason will not be because he wants to or thinks 768 00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:36,160 Speaker 1: he should. I think it's it's pressure from home. I 769 00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:38,480 Speaker 1: think that he's strung this out long enough, because I 770 00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:42,160 Speaker 1: think that he's been from what we've heard people in 771 00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:44,359 Speaker 1: New England when he was in New England that they 772 00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:47,799 Speaker 1: this has been a quiet secret for a long time, 773 00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:50,040 Speaker 1: that you know, Giselle and his kids want him home 774 00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:52,120 Speaker 1: more because he's such he's such a fanatic when it 775 00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:55,280 Speaker 1: comes to football that they want him to be present. 776 00:39:55,560 --> 00:40:00,479 Speaker 1: And I'll again I'm speaking on a much much, much, 777 00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:05,280 Speaker 1: much much much smaller scale, but football season is a grind. Again, 778 00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:08,000 Speaker 1: If you guys are really doing this gambling every week 779 00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:11,720 Speaker 1: and I'm doing it every freaking week, the gambling season 780 00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:15,920 Speaker 1: alone is a grind. Can you imagine playing football and 781 00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:17,960 Speaker 1: preparing and staying in shape and all that and the 782 00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:22,680 Speaker 1: that's got to be brutal. And you know, Brady's off 783 00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:24,480 Speaker 1: season when you're forty five, you can't take all this 784 00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:26,120 Speaker 1: time off. And I've been telling my kids like I've 785 00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:28,160 Speaker 1: been kind of working out like a crazy person to 786 00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:31,319 Speaker 1: start this year, and I'm like, guys, if I take 787 00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:33,640 Speaker 1: like a month off and do nothing, do you know 788 00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:35,920 Speaker 1: how hard it is to get it back at my age? 789 00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:38,239 Speaker 1: Like get back in shape. You take a month off, 790 00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:40,880 Speaker 1: you probably need three months of hard working out to 791 00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:46,000 Speaker 1: get back in shape. And I just I can't imagine 792 00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:48,480 Speaker 1: how tough it is for Brady. Now he does have 793 00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:51,600 Speaker 1: TV twelve. Uh, we know he has access to the 794 00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:54,879 Speaker 1: best and brightest minds in the on the planet when 795 00:40:54,880 --> 00:41:00,200 Speaker 1: it comes to this stuff. So I don't know. I mean, Mom, 796 00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:02,600 Speaker 1: what's it gonna be like when you're not getting ready 797 00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:05,200 Speaker 1: for football and watching film and with the teammates and 798 00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:08,960 Speaker 1: traveling and you're just home with your former supermodel wife 799 00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:12,799 Speaker 1: all the time? What's that? What do you think that's 800 00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:16,880 Speaker 1: gonna be? Like? Rob, I said, it's not the worst 801 00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:18,600 Speaker 1: thing that could happen. You know, you're at home and 802 00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:20,799 Speaker 1: your mansion with all your money and your supermodel wife. 803 00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:22,920 Speaker 1: I could think of worse ways to spend your retirement. 804 00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:26,800 Speaker 1: Our seventeen female listeners are like, Jason, you sexist, terrible? 805 00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:31,120 Speaker 1: All right?
