On the 132 00:06:49,668 --> 00:06:52,068 Speaker 5: TV in the locker room, and he's going by ten 133 00:06:52,188 --> 00:06:56,228 Speaker 5: yard increments and he's doing his two minutes reo. Now, 134 00:06:56,308 --> 00:06:58,028 Speaker 5: when I gave him, when I told him the story 135 00:06:58,028 --> 00:07:00,468 Speaker 5: of my observations of him, I asked him, I was I, Drew, 136 00:07:00,468 --> 00:07:03,308 Speaker 5: why did you do that? And Drew's response was I 137 00:07:03,388 --> 00:07:07,468 Speaker 5: went through every scenario of what could go wrong, and 138 00:07:07,548 --> 00:07:10,268 Speaker 5: if I could fix what could go wrong, and the 139 00:07:10,348 --> 00:07:12,908 Speaker 5: event that it went right, beautiful things would happen. 140 00:07:13,268 --> 00:07:14,708 Speaker 3: And that's what I love about Drew. 141 00:07:15,228 --> 00:07:17,188 Speaker 5: Ever since then, I try to implement some of the 142 00:07:17,188 --> 00:07:19,308 Speaker 5: things that I saw him do, know only in practice, 143 00:07:19,388 --> 00:07:21,108 Speaker 5: but the things I saw him do outside of the game. 144 00:07:21,188 --> 00:07:24,028 Speaker 5: So somebody who I know will eventually get into the 145 00:07:24,028 --> 00:07:26,148 Speaker 5: Hall of Fame. If it's not this year, but is 146 00:07:26,188 --> 00:07:28,548 Speaker 5: a Hall of Fame player and a Hall of Fame 147 00:07:28,588 --> 00:07:29,108 Speaker 5: human being. 148 00:07:29,148 --> 00:07:32,388 Speaker 3: So o KB, that's that's my guy. It's unbelieving. I mean, 149 00:07:32,388 --> 00:07:34,908 Speaker 3: that's Drew brees Is. 150 00:07:34,988 --> 00:07:37,508 Speaker 4: It's a great story, Manti and Drew Brees is going 151 00:07:37,548 --> 00:07:39,548 Speaker 4: to break dance into the Hall of Fame on the 152 00:07:39,548 --> 00:07:42,188 Speaker 4: first ballot. And my eyes always go to the first 153 00:07:42,228 --> 00:07:45,308 Speaker 4: ballot guys, and Larry Fitzgerald is one of them. Larry 154 00:07:45,308 --> 00:07:47,748 Speaker 4: Fitzgerald will walk in, he should walk in. Don't give 155 00:07:47,748 --> 00:07:49,228 Speaker 4: me a debate, don't give men. And this is why 156 00:07:49,268 --> 00:07:53,148 Speaker 4: first ballot exists. Larry Fitzgerald is second all time only 157 00:07:53,148 --> 00:07:55,428 Speaker 4: to Jerry Rice. And that's basically like being first all 158 00:07:55,468 --> 00:07:58,108 Speaker 4: time because nobody touches Rice and the receiving yards. If 159 00:07:58,188 --> 00:08:00,708 Speaker 4: you look at the guys that he's above, Tara Loans, 160 00:08:00,788 --> 00:08:03,628 Speaker 4: Randy Moss, Isaac Bruce, Tony Gonzalez, Tim Brown, all Hall 161 00:08:03,668 --> 00:08:06,068 Speaker 4: of famers looking down on them. And what we are 162 00:08:06,108 --> 00:08:08,708 Speaker 4: seeing here is the eight playoff run and Super Bowl 163 00:08:08,788 --> 00:08:11,508 Speaker 4: run for Larry Fitzgerald in which I believe he was 164 00:08:11,548 --> 00:08:14,108 Speaker 4: the best football player in the world during that run. 165 00:08:14,228 --> 00:08:17,348 Speaker 4: I think he was better at his position than anybody 166 00:08:17,348 --> 00:08:19,428 Speaker 4: in the NFL wasn't theirs. I think he was better 167 00:08:19,468 --> 00:08:21,708 Speaker 4: than Peyton, better than Brady named any. 168 00:08:21,508 --> 00:08:22,388 Speaker 3: Position you want. 169 00:08:22,748 --> 00:08:24,868 Speaker 4: He was the number one player in the NFL in 170 00:08:24,868 --> 00:08:28,228 Speaker 4: my opinion. He did everything he could to win this 171 00:08:28,308 --> 00:08:31,468 Speaker 4: Super Bowl. He just couldn't play defense against Antonio Holmes 172 00:08:31,468 --> 00:08:34,588 Speaker 4: because he was on the sideline. Just an all timer's 173 00:08:34,788 --> 00:08:37,228 Speaker 4: and I really mean that literally, from the second he 174 00:08:37,268 --> 00:08:38,588 Speaker 4: came in the league, he knew he was going to 175 00:08:38,628 --> 00:08:40,828 Speaker 4: be Look at the dumb numbers on the bottom of 176 00:08:40,868 --> 00:08:43,668 Speaker 4: this kid got fourteen hundred catches, seventeen thousand yards, two 177 00:08:43,748 --> 00:08:45,908 Speaker 4: hundred and twenty. I mean, it's so dumb. All of 178 00:08:45,908 --> 00:08:48,788 Speaker 4: those numbers seem like they're made up. They're completely real. 179 00:08:49,308 --> 00:08:50,988 Speaker 4: And in the Hall of Fame discussion, when you say 180 00:08:51,028 --> 00:08:53,668 Speaker 4: second only to Jerry Rice, you're basically saying first all 181 00:08:53,788 --> 00:08:56,508 Speaker 4: time because Jerry Rice is not from the planet Earth. 182 00:08:56,788 --> 00:08:59,868 Speaker 4: Larry Fitzgerald, first ballot, don't even mess around, don't even 183 00:08:59,908 --> 00:09:01,948 Speaker 4: think about it. It's why first bout exists, and he'll 184 00:09:01,988 --> 00:09:02,588 Speaker 4: walk in on it. 185 00:09:03,468 --> 00:09:04,148 Speaker 3: I love it. KB. 186 00:09:04,268 --> 00:09:05,868 Speaker 6: He was a beast and they used him in so 187 00:09:05,868 --> 00:09:08,668 Speaker 6: many different ways, which was incredible. Real quick man say, 188 00:09:08,668 --> 00:09:11,068 Speaker 6: I think it's hilarious. You said you saw Drew Brees 189 00:09:11,148 --> 00:09:12,428 Speaker 6: in the weight room because you were getting to work 190 00:09:12,428 --> 00:09:12,868 Speaker 6: out because you. 191 00:09:12,828 --> 00:09:14,628 Speaker 3: Felt heavy Saturday. What are we going to get done 192 00:09:14,628 --> 00:09:16,668 Speaker 3: on a Saturday before game? I don't know. That's not 193 00:09:16,748 --> 00:09:17,148 Speaker 3: the point. 194 00:09:17,388 --> 00:09:19,108 Speaker 6: The point is I'm going to talk about a really 195 00:09:19,148 --> 00:09:20,468 Speaker 6: special character here. 196 00:09:20,508 --> 00:09:21,588 Speaker 3: That's Terrell Suggs. 197 00:09:21,828 --> 00:09:24,788 Speaker 6: I remember when I was in middle school, my dad 198 00:09:24,828 --> 00:09:25,748 Speaker 6: brought home a jersey. 199 00:09:25,828 --> 00:09:26,668 Speaker 3: He was a truck driver. 200 00:09:26,708 --> 00:09:28,468 Speaker 6: He's on the road, grabbed a jersey for me and 201 00:09:28,508 --> 00:09:29,868 Speaker 6: handed me a Suggs jersey. 202 00:09:30,068 --> 00:09:32,388 Speaker 3: Look, I'm thirty years old now. I had a seven 203 00:09:32,428 --> 00:09:34,028 Speaker 3: year career and we're. 204 00:09:33,788 --> 00:09:36,268 Speaker 6: Talking about this guy who played so long, so he's 205 00:09:36,268 --> 00:09:39,748 Speaker 6: been dominant. He played for so many seasons, seventeen seasons. 206 00:09:40,108 --> 00:09:42,108 Speaker 3: Anytime you have a guy who. 207 00:09:41,908 --> 00:09:44,588 Speaker 6: Affects a quarterback like he does, you gotta talk about 208 00:09:44,668 --> 00:09:46,228 Speaker 6: him in this sense. I mean, one hundred and thirty 209 00:09:46,308 --> 00:09:46,868 Speaker 6: nine sacks. 210 00:09:47,228 --> 00:09:49,588 Speaker 3: He is a great teammate. That's what I think about. 211 00:09:49,588 --> 00:09:51,588 Speaker 6: Also when I think about this guy, like his smile, 212 00:09:51,708 --> 00:09:53,388 Speaker 6: his energy on the sideline. 213 00:09:52,988 --> 00:09:53,468 Speaker 3: Who he was. 214 00:09:53,668 --> 00:09:55,548 Speaker 6: That type of stuff matters. But look at these stats. 215 00:09:55,588 --> 00:09:58,588 Speaker 6: Two hundred and two career TFLs. Imagine trying to game 216 00:09:58,628 --> 00:10:00,748 Speaker 6: plan against this guy. Imagine if you're an old lineman 217 00:10:00,788 --> 00:10:02,268 Speaker 6: and you're like, oh, who am I blocking this week? 218 00:10:02,348 --> 00:10:03,988 Speaker 3: Therell Suggs, Yeah, you got a problem. 219 00:10:04,468 --> 00:10:06,948 Speaker 6: Another thing, most in the NFL as far as TfL 220 00:10:07,068 --> 00:10:10,668 Speaker 6: since nineteen ninety nine. Been a while since nineteen ninety nine. 221 00:10:10,668 --> 00:10:13,188 Speaker 6: Not to age some of my coworkers because I was 222 00:10:13,228 --> 00:10:15,508 Speaker 6: a ninety five baby, but you know whatever, it's been 223 00:10:15,548 --> 00:10:18,788 Speaker 6: a long time. So Duro Sugg's huge impact on football, 224 00:10:18,908 --> 00:10:21,948 Speaker 6: huge impact for d lineman, which I was in my career. 225 00:10:22,508 --> 00:10:24,148 Speaker 6: Just really proud to be talking about him today. 226 00:10:24,148 --> 00:10:25,028 Speaker 3: That's an all time raven. 227 00:10:25,028 --> 00:10:29,588 Speaker 2: You still got that jersey somewhere maybe so yeah, they say, yes, yes. 228 00:10:29,588 --> 00:10:32,788 Speaker 3: Definitely the guys you gave me a layup, my bag. 229 00:10:35,468 --> 00:10:38,668 Speaker 2: I have a new found appreciation and affinity for linebackers 230 00:10:38,708 --> 00:10:41,148 Speaker 2: in my life, especially the smart ones that played the game. 231 00:10:41,228 --> 00:10:43,148 Speaker 2: And there is no one who's at the top of 232 00:10:43,188 --> 00:10:45,228 Speaker 2: that list, I think more in the modern era football 233 00:10:45,228 --> 00:10:45,908 Speaker 2: than Luke Keighley. 234 00:10:46,028 --> 00:10:47,748 Speaker 3: That guy is bright, He. 235 00:10:47,828 --> 00:10:50,548 Speaker 2: Was kind, and my god, he was a menace on 236 00:10:50,588 --> 00:10:54,508 Speaker 2: this Panthers defense, but truly defined what it looked like 237 00:10:54,868 --> 00:10:57,668 Speaker 2: to be brilliant at the position. The way that his 238 00:10:57,748 --> 00:11:00,508 Speaker 2: coaches talked about him coming out of Boston College, the 239 00:11:00,548 --> 00:11:04,028 Speaker 2: way that he played within a prolific Panthers defense, great 240 00:11:04,108 --> 00:11:07,148 Speaker 2: team in the twenty tens, and the teams for the Panthers, 241 00:11:07,388 --> 00:11:11,588 Speaker 2: Keighley was awesome to watch, just define the position, ultimate 242 00:11:11,708 --> 00:11:15,108 Speaker 2: class act, class athlete, classy to the media, a great 243 00:11:15,188 --> 00:11:18,108 Speaker 2: representative over the organization, and frankly still to this day 244 00:11:18,228 --> 00:11:21,348 Speaker 2: showing up at Panthers' events for the team. I love 245 00:11:21,428 --> 00:11:23,668 Speaker 2: seeing him on this list. He was a finalist last 246 00:11:23,708 --> 00:11:26,508 Speaker 2: year as well. Not to be forgotten though, before I 247 00:11:26,548 --> 00:11:29,348 Speaker 2: pass it back to Kyle, is I gotta say Frank 248 00:11:29,388 --> 00:11:31,748 Speaker 2: Gore's name again because is it not Hall of Fame 249 00:11:31,788 --> 00:11:32,468 Speaker 2: worthy in and. 250 00:11:32,428 --> 00:11:34,508 Speaker 3: Of itself to stick the. 251 00:11:34,548 --> 00:11:39,548 Speaker 2: Landing on sixteen thousand yards over his career? Are you serious? 252 00:11:39,868 --> 00:11:42,348 Speaker 2: Not sixteen thousand and three, which would be fine and 253 00:11:42,388 --> 00:11:45,828 Speaker 2: it would be impressive, But the even sixteen k is 254 00:11:45,908 --> 00:11:48,348 Speaker 2: great enough. And not to forget the fact that is 255 00:11:48,508 --> 00:11:51,548 Speaker 2: just behind the list of Emmett Smith and Walter Payton 256 00:11:51,588 --> 00:11:54,748 Speaker 2: as well. Frank Gore is fantastic and the fact that 257 00:11:54,828 --> 00:11:58,268 Speaker 2: he played for as long as he did Kyle sixteen 258 00:11:58,348 --> 00:12:01,508 Speaker 2: years at that position, that's crazy. Tread on the tires 259 00:12:01,548 --> 00:12:03,908 Speaker 2: we love Frank Gore, Kyle who else you got. 260 00:12:03,748 --> 00:12:04,268 Speaker 3: On your list? 261 00:12:05,548 --> 00:12:08,788 Speaker 4: Yeah, I could do Frank Gore again. The fact that 262 00:12:08,828 --> 00:12:11,788 Speaker 4: he fell in the draft because there was durability concerns 263 00:12:12,028 --> 00:12:14,188 Speaker 4: and he had kne issues in Miami and so people 264 00:12:14,188 --> 00:12:15,988 Speaker 4: didn't want to touch him, and then he has sixteen 265 00:12:16,028 --> 00:12:18,428 Speaker 4: thousand yards. I just want to say a few things 266 00:12:18,428 --> 00:12:21,588 Speaker 4: about Jason Witten. I have a lot of strong feelings 267 00:12:21,628 --> 00:12:24,788 Speaker 4: about Witten. You're gonna see if and when he goes in. 268 00:12:25,228 --> 00:12:27,828 Speaker 4: This is the play. This is the Jason Witten play. 269 00:12:28,548 --> 00:12:32,108 Speaker 4: This is him running through the Eagles secondary with no helmet, 270 00:12:32,108 --> 00:12:35,708 Speaker 4: looking like the John Wayne, like the coolest guy on. 271 00:12:35,588 --> 00:12:38,908 Speaker 3: The planet too. In the background the pass from Romo. 272 00:12:40,348 --> 00:12:42,188 Speaker 4: Witton came in third round pick out of Tennessee at 273 00:12:42,188 --> 00:12:43,988 Speaker 4: two thousand and three. He came in with Romo, who 274 00:12:44,028 --> 00:12:46,508 Speaker 4: was undrafted, And that's how I think of Jason Witten. 275 00:12:46,588 --> 00:12:47,468 Speaker 3: This the Romo era. 276 00:12:47,508 --> 00:12:50,028 Speaker 4: He had fifteen catches in a game once. You're going 277 00:12:50,068 --> 00:12:52,748 Speaker 4: to see clips of him. During his initial Ricky camp, 278 00:12:53,388 --> 00:12:56,108 Speaker 4: he caught a ball and ran over Bill Parcells, who 279 00:12:56,108 --> 00:12:59,028 Speaker 4: was standing on the sideline, just completely trucked him and 280 00:12:59,108 --> 00:13:00,548 Speaker 4: it was a really memorable moment. 281 00:13:00,628 --> 00:13:01,628 Speaker 3: Parcells loved him. 282 00:13:01,948 --> 00:13:05,108 Speaker 4: But here's my bottom line on Whitten, all the numbers, 283 00:13:05,148 --> 00:13:08,508 Speaker 4: all the football, everything. I think he gets so much 284 00:13:08,588 --> 00:13:11,748 Speaker 4: credit and so much respect for the way he handled 285 00:13:11,788 --> 00:13:16,548 Speaker 4: himself in the media during a ridiculous time in Cowboys 286 00:13:16,628 --> 00:13:20,308 Speaker 4: media in which everything was the Lightning Rod and Romo 287 00:13:20,508 --> 00:13:24,588 Speaker 4: and to and Jessica Simpson and all these Mexico trips. 288 00:13:24,588 --> 00:13:26,548 Speaker 4: And you would always go to Witten, who you know, 289 00:13:26,628 --> 00:13:28,868 Speaker 4: he is seeing the craziest things in the locker room 290 00:13:28,868 --> 00:13:31,388 Speaker 4: and hearing everything you could possibly imagine. And he would 291 00:13:31,388 --> 00:13:34,228 Speaker 4: be a gentleman and he would always back up the 292 00:13:34,308 --> 00:13:37,788 Speaker 4: company and the teammates and the locker rooms. He never said, 293 00:13:38,188 --> 00:13:40,028 Speaker 4: oh my god, I'm just gonna absolutely blow a gasket 294 00:13:40,108 --> 00:13:42,348 Speaker 4: right now and just tell everything that's going on. 295 00:13:42,428 --> 00:13:44,508 Speaker 3: He was so classy all the time. 296 00:13:44,948 --> 00:13:47,508 Speaker 4: And I know that Jason went has seen some things 297 00:13:47,628 --> 00:13:49,948 Speaker 4: in that locker room and heard some things in that company, 298 00:13:50,228 --> 00:13:52,308 Speaker 4: and he never spouted off about it. So I always 299 00:13:52,348 --> 00:13:54,828 Speaker 4: respected that, And then the football was always excellent. He's 300 00:13:54,908 --> 00:13:57,628 Speaker 4: right where he should be as a finalist. Jason Witten 301 00:13:57,668 --> 00:14:00,628 Speaker 4: from three running over of parcels to now trying to 302 00:14:00,708 --> 00:14:01,428 Speaker 4: run into Canton. 303 00:14:01,428 --> 00:14:02,068 Speaker 3: It's pretty cool. 304 00:14:02,388 --> 00:14:05,788 Speaker 5: I got the distinct owner against some of those guys too, 305 00:14:05,868 --> 00:14:09,588 Speaker 5: and they are problems in Frank Gore his contact balance. 306 00:14:10,588 --> 00:14:11,748 Speaker 3: It's just superior. 307 00:14:12,148 --> 00:14:14,108 Speaker 5: I wanted to talk about Luke Kickley a little bit 308 00:14:15,308 --> 00:14:18,188 Speaker 5: that dinner that I referenced with Drew Brees before the 309 00:14:18,468 --> 00:14:21,508 Speaker 5: Christmas game. I've sat there and I asked you, as 310 00:14:21,508 --> 00:14:23,548 Speaker 5: I drew out, of all the people you played against, 311 00:14:23,708 --> 00:14:26,228 Speaker 5: who was the hardest to go up against? And Drew said, 312 00:14:26,268 --> 00:14:29,148 Speaker 5: like that. He said, Luke Keickley and Thomas Dabs. And 313 00:14:29,388 --> 00:14:32,988 Speaker 5: there was no hesitation to his answer. It was like 314 00:14:33,068 --> 00:14:35,268 Speaker 5: Luke Keigley and Thomas Davis. He said, when you can 315 00:14:36,308 --> 00:14:38,708 Speaker 5: come to the line of scrimmage as cerebral as Drew 316 00:14:38,908 --> 00:14:42,068 Speaker 5: is and be able to and admit that going against 317 00:14:42,148 --> 00:14:45,188 Speaker 5: number fifty nine and him calling out every single play 318 00:14:45,668 --> 00:14:49,388 Speaker 5: as a linebacker myself, there's something that is to be 319 00:14:49,468 --> 00:14:52,348 Speaker 5: said about a linebacker that starts to cheat his way 320 00:14:52,708 --> 00:14:56,428 Speaker 5: in certain directions. Luke Kickley had a tendency to start 321 00:14:56,868 --> 00:15:00,628 Speaker 5: working his way in certain directions because he knew where 322 00:15:00,628 --> 00:15:01,388 Speaker 5: the play was going. 323 00:15:01,388 --> 00:15:03,948 Speaker 3: And Luke Keickley was somebody. You know that person. 324 00:15:03,708 --> 00:15:08,268 Speaker 5: In in elementary school where the teacher asks the question 325 00:15:08,308 --> 00:15:09,948 Speaker 5: and you think you have to answer, but there's always 326 00:15:09,948 --> 00:15:11,068 Speaker 5: somebody whose hand goes up. 327 00:15:10,988 --> 00:15:13,588 Speaker 3: First and says it. That was Keikley.

And he was somebody who I got to 333 00:15:21,788 --> 00:15:23,828 Speaker 5: play against in college when he was at Boston College. 334 00:15:23,828 --> 00:15:25,988 Speaker 5: We play against him every year at Notre Dame, and 335 00:15:26,028 --> 00:15:27,588 Speaker 5: then I watching him in the NFL.

Can we 348 00:16:07,828 --> 00:16:10,428 Speaker 2: look at the NFC playoff picture, because I thought I 349 00:16:10,468 --> 00:16:13,628 Speaker 2: had it down pat before Monday Night Football, and then 350 00:16:13,868 --> 00:16:15,828 Speaker 2: I feel like you're at Vegas and they rolled the 351 00:16:15,868 --> 00:16:16,668 Speaker 2: dice out on the table. 352 00:16:16,668 --> 00:16:19,308 Speaker 3: I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa, what is happening with Jah? 353 00:16:19,348 --> 00:16:19,668 Speaker 4: All right? 354 00:16:19,748 --> 00:16:22,028 Speaker 2: So Seahawks, we got to talk about some other team, 355 00:16:22,068 --> 00:16:24,508 Speaker 2: not Vegas. They're in the AFC. Seahawks forty nine ers 356 00:16:24,508 --> 00:16:28,828 Speaker 2: play on Sunday for everything, the number one overall seat. 357 00:16:29,028 --> 00:16:29,868 Speaker 3: But what happened to the. 358 00:16:29,828 --> 00:16:32,228 Speaker 2: Rams last night after losing to the Falcons? 359 00:16:32,988 --> 00:16:34,348 Speaker 3: Confused? Everybody? Excuse me? 360 00:16:34,388 --> 00:16:37,548 Speaker 2: The forty nine ers from the Seahawks play on Saturday. 361 00:16:38,148 --> 00:16:41,308 Speaker 2: So Rams lost to the Falcons Monday Night Football. They 362 00:16:41,308 --> 00:16:44,588 Speaker 2: are the sixth seed right now, Kyle. People have wild 363 00:16:44,708 --> 00:16:48,228 Speaker 2: takes right now about the Rams and what that loss means, like, oh, 364 00:16:48,268 --> 00:16:51,588 Speaker 2: they lost a draft, pick a division, an MVP, like 365 00:16:51,628 --> 00:16:54,268 Speaker 2: they're getting really dramatic. But when you look at the NFC, 366 00:16:54,628 --> 00:16:56,628 Speaker 2: what do you make of how things are unfolding ahead 367 00:16:56,628 --> 00:16:57,908 Speaker 2: of the final week of the regular season. 368 00:16:58,668 --> 00:17:00,908 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean the Rams still have Sean McVay and 369 00:17:00,948 --> 00:17:02,788 Speaker 4: a crazy talented team. I don't think they're going to 370 00:17:02,828 --> 00:17:04,588 Speaker 4: have no show in the playoffs. Just a weird night 371 00:17:04,708 --> 00:17:07,308 Speaker 4: last night. But if you want weird, let's go to 372 00:17:07,348 --> 00:17:10,228 Speaker 4: our brothers and sisters in the NFC South. Can you 373 00:17:10,268 --> 00:17:13,188 Speaker 4: believe we've been frustrated with the Panthers and Bucks, right, 374 00:17:13,548 --> 00:17:16,908 Speaker 4: imagine a reality of this about this for frustration. The 375 00:17:16,948 --> 00:17:20,468 Speaker 4: Panthers lose this weekend in this showdown with the Buccaneers 376 00:17:21,068 --> 00:17:23,108 Speaker 4: and then they still get in the playoffs because of 377 00:17:23,148 --> 00:17:26,348 Speaker 4: what happens Sunday in Falcons versus Saints. That's the reality. 378 00:17:26,388 --> 00:17:29,668 Speaker 4: But I still think the Panthers have something going here. 379 00:17:29,748 --> 00:17:32,428 Speaker 4: This is this is hard to look at, but trust me, 380 00:17:32,508 --> 00:17:36,868 Speaker 4: if the Panthers lose to the Buccaneers, they can still 381 00:17:36,908 --> 00:17:39,548 Speaker 4: get in and based on what happens in Falcons if 382 00:17:39,548 --> 00:17:41,868 Speaker 4: the Falcons win versus the Saints. But I think the 383 00:17:41,908 --> 00:17:44,108 Speaker 4: Panthers it's like an all hands on deck thing and 384 00:17:44,188 --> 00:17:46,708 Speaker 4: we as a show guys, we did. I'm something we're 385 00:17:46,708 --> 00:17:48,868 Speaker 4: proud of. In the middle of that Panthers game over 386 00:17:48,868 --> 00:17:51,988 Speaker 4: the past weekend, JJ Wat and I and Eagle found 387 00:17:51,988 --> 00:17:54,228 Speaker 4: a fan in the stands that we have kind of champion, 388 00:17:54,308 --> 00:17:56,908 Speaker 4: and we grabbed this clip of him yesterday and we're 389 00:17:56,908 --> 00:17:58,428 Speaker 4: calling him jersey Man. 390 00:17:58,508 --> 00:18:01,068 Speaker 3: This was yes and the show yesterday. 391 00:18:01,108 --> 00:18:04,668 Speaker 4: This strikes me as some long running weird super edition 392 00:18:05,148 --> 00:18:07,788 Speaker 4: where he gives the energy to Bryce and then if 393 00:18:07,788 --> 00:18:10,348 Speaker 4: Bryce isn't playing well, he takes it off and then 394 00:18:10,348 --> 00:18:11,908 Speaker 4: he'll go back to the I don't know if it's 395 00:18:11,948 --> 00:18:15,308 Speaker 4: necessarily binary offense defense. I think it just changes the 396 00:18:15,428 --> 00:18:18,308 Speaker 4: energy up and like sometimes he needs to. But I also, 397 00:18:18,628 --> 00:18:21,188 Speaker 4: I mean, there seems to be several layers there. There's 398 00:18:21,188 --> 00:18:24,268 Speaker 4: at least one hoodie under the second jersey, so there 399 00:18:24,308 --> 00:18:26,988 Speaker 4: may be multiple jerseys we haven't even seen yet. I 400 00:18:27,028 --> 00:18:29,268 Speaker 4: feel like, guys, this is like our new boot man, 401 00:18:29,388 --> 00:18:34,708 Speaker 4: Like I want to know who this is. So it's 402 00:18:34,748 --> 00:18:37,108 Speaker 4: all hands on deck and jersey Man. I's got to 403 00:18:37,108 --> 00:18:38,708 Speaker 4: be at the game this weekend. He's got to be 404 00:18:38,748 --> 00:18:40,748 Speaker 4: at the playoff games, and he's got to be on 405 00:18:40,788 --> 00:18:41,668 Speaker 4: Good Morning Football. 406 00:18:41,708 --> 00:18:48,188 Speaker 3: We got jersey Man and we haven't. It's how you 407 00:18:48,268 --> 00:18:48,508 Speaker 3: doing it? 408 00:18:49,508 --> 00:18:50,868 Speaker 7: Let's go, let's go. 409 00:18:51,268 --> 00:18:51,948 Speaker 3: That's crazy. 410 00:18:52,068 --> 00:18:57,268 Speaker 4: Look at him, all right, Joe van Hoven, Joe van Hoven, 411 00:18:57,348 --> 00:18:59,988 Speaker 4: the jersey Man. Joe, thank you so much for being here. 412 00:19:00,068 --> 00:19:02,748 Speaker 4: You're obviously a huge fan. The room behind you is incredible. 413 00:19:03,028 --> 00:19:05,548 Speaker 4: Take us back to this game this weekend because JJ 414 00:19:05,708 --> 00:19:07,148 Speaker 4: and I an call you out and then I think you. 415 00:19:07,188 --> 00:19:08,388 Speaker 3: Might have been on red Zone too. 416 00:19:08,868 --> 00:19:11,228 Speaker 4: What has it been like realizing that you became a 417 00:19:11,268 --> 00:19:13,228 Speaker 4: thing over the last twenty four hours. 418 00:19:14,348 --> 00:19:15,948 Speaker 8: I'll be honest, it was kind of wild. That was 419 00:19:15,948 --> 00:19:19,108 Speaker 8: in the stands. My phone started going off. I actually 420 00:19:19,148 --> 00:19:22,788 Speaker 8: got a phone call from work. They're the ones that 421 00:19:22,788 --> 00:19:24,748 Speaker 8: I actually let me know I was going viral. And 422 00:19:24,788 --> 00:19:26,908 Speaker 8: then everyone around me in the stand started telling me 423 00:19:27,228 --> 00:19:31,548 Speaker 8: everything about it. I've been doing it all year. Offensive defense, 424 00:19:32,428 --> 00:19:33,348 Speaker 8: Bryce Young and j C. 425 00:19:33,508 --> 00:19:33,788 Speaker 7: Horn. 426 00:19:34,548 --> 00:19:37,028 Speaker 8: You guys caught me this week though, and I love 427 00:19:37,068 --> 00:19:41,628 Speaker 8: that you guys respected.

I actually 475 00:21:44,028 --> 00:21:47,468 Speaker 8: cried when he retired. He My favorite thing that he 476 00:21:47,548 --> 00:21:50,868 Speaker 8: ever did was the pick six in the Thanksgiving Game. 477 00:21:51,188 --> 00:21:53,788 Speaker 3: Yeah, yep, He's it's different. 478 00:21:53,908 --> 00:21:55,748 Speaker 8: He made so many players, I can't name them all, 479 00:21:55,748 --> 00:21:58,188 Speaker 8: but watching him growing up, I didn't get to play 480 00:21:58,188 --> 00:22:00,028 Speaker 8: the game of football, but I got to live it 481 00:22:00,108 --> 00:22:02,788 Speaker 8: through him in camp, and that's really what got me 482 00:22:02,948 --> 00:22:05,748 Speaker 8: into being a fan. I started being a fan in 483 00:22:05,788 --> 00:22:08,028 Speaker 8: twenty or two thousand and three when we lost to 484 00:22:08,068 --> 00:22:09,228 Speaker 8: the Patriots in the Super Bowl. 485 00:22:09,228 --> 00:22:12,228 Speaker 7: I was ten.
