00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:06,039
Speaker 2: And the best thing about this Saturdayay is it's right

22
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 2: before Championship Sunyay First Championship weekend. I will be watching

23
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 2: from a couch and not a press box in a

24
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 2: very long time, and I don't hate it. Let's jump

25
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 2: into the AFC Championship, Nikki. It is the Bills at

26
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 2: the Chiefs. The first question on everybody's mind. Can the

27
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 2: Bills do it?

28
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 4: Is it their time? Tracy?

29
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 3: And first of all, I just have to say, how

30
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:32,120
Speaker 3: lucky are we? What a slate tomorrow? And yeah, beginning

31
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 3: with you know, box office magic, the Bills and the Chiefs.

32
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 3: It's something we couldn't ask for more of when you're

33
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:44,679
Speaker 3: talking about Mahomes versus Allen and I I wouldn't mind

34
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 3: if the Bills and the Bills mafia got their due.

35
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 3: But also I just think with this Chief's team and

36
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 3: the way we've seen them play all season long, where

37
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 3: you have to play essentially mistake free football to get

38
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 3: close to winning and then to have your rip, your

39
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 3: heart ripped out in the final minutes there, I just

40
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 3: don't know if the Bills have what it takes to

41
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:08,639
Speaker 3: undo the Kings from their throne.

42
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 2: Well, it's Patrick Mahomes and I want to start with something.

43
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:12,959
Speaker 2: I want to get this part out of the way

44
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 2: because it was a big topic of conversation last weekend.

45
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 4: It's been a big topic all week.

46
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes gets some benefit of the doubt calls.

47
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 4: He's earned that.

48
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 2: I think he has earned that. Is it worth the controversy?

49
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,919
Speaker 2: And tomorrow are the refs going to be a little

50
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 2: extra careful not to do that with everything that's gone

51
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 2: on this week?

52
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 3: Well, this is what's so interesting. I think the flopping

53
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:42,839
Speaker 3: that people were seeing in mahomes play last weekend, it's

54
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 3: not a pretty way to watch football. It seems a

55
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:49,239
Speaker 3: little bit untrue to the game, right, a little James

56
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 3: harden esque, if you might go that way. But the

57
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 3: thing is he's not doing anything wrong. He's playing the

58
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 3: game the way the refs are calling it. And I

59
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 3: believe the ref crew they have tomorrow are six and

60
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 3: five all time with Mahomes starting. So if the script

61
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 3: was written that the Chiefs were going to win this

62
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 3: and advance to the Super Bowl, they would not use

63
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:19,920
Speaker 3: I'm blinking on the ref's name here, but they would

64
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 3: not be going with this crew, right.

65
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 2: I think that makes perfect sense. I love the idea

66
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:25,079
Speaker 2: of the NFL script.

67
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 4: I think it's funny.

68
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 2: I just don't think it's funny with people actually believe

69
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:31,080
Speaker 2: that there is a script happening. But the thing with

70
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 2: Mahomes is it does feel like a script because, as

71
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 2: you said earlier, you could play mistake free football, You're

72
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 2: playing a perfect game, you are ready to win this thing,

73
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 2: and then he just rips your heart out. But I

74
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 2: have to say, there is a part of me, a

75
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 2: big part of me and watching this Bill's team, and

76
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 2: I got to see them live this season.

77
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 4: That thinks they actually might have what it takes.

78
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 3: I mean, when you look at Josh Allen and what

79
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 3: he's capable of, he is going to have to put

80
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 3: on that superman cape and lead this team as basically

81
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 3: all fans of the league have been waiting for this

82
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 3: moment for him, right, And the Bills rushing offense is

83
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:16,160
Speaker 3: so good their defense is going to have to make

84
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 3: Mahomes uncomfortable. But the interesting thing about these two teams

85
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:25,279
Speaker 3: is that they haven't been relying on big plays, right,

86
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 3: and the Bills have been thriving being a mistake free offense.

87
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:34,039
Speaker 3: They don't turn the ball over, which is going to

88
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 3: be absolutely important when you go up against this Chiefs

89
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 3: defense that if you give them a sliver, they will

90
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:46,600
Speaker 3: take a mile. So if there is a team, it's

91
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 3: this one.

92
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would agree with you.

93
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 2: But there's another factor here that gets talked about a

94
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 2: lot for a lot of reasons.

95
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 4: But Travis Kelce makes me think of Key Hernandez.

96
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 2: Sorry to already bring in Dodgers up, but you layoff

97
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:03,720
Speaker 2: Travis like playoff Keik, and he has turned it on

98
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 2: and that also cannot be discounted, nor can the defense

99
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 2: which I want to talk about in him.

100
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 3: He's been the vintage car in the garage with the

101
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 3: tarp over it all regular season and they've just been

102
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 3: keeping him on standby.

103
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 4: And the connection he has with.

104
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:23,040
Speaker 3: Mahomes, and it was just so evident last weekend when

105
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 3: you see Mahomes parallel to the ground and just with

106
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:30,159
Speaker 3: the dart to Kelsey waiting in the end zone, the

107
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:33,799
Speaker 3: stare down at the fallen defender, and in those moments

108
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:37,600
Speaker 3: you're reminded of the intuitive connection.

109
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 4: Those two have developed over years together.

110
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 3: And from what I understand, Travis might have a play

111
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 3: drawn up and he just goes with whatever he sees

112
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 3: open and with only a mind like Mahomes, is he

113
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 3: able to adjust on the fly, see where his tight

114
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 3: end is and connect with.

115
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 4: Him, and that throw only Mahomes can make it.

116
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,599
Speaker 2: There are some incredible quarterbacks this league, including Josh Allen,

117
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,839
Speaker 2: but only Patrick Mahomes makes that throw. Though we did

118
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 2: see Josh Allen throw a pass, catch a pass and

119
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 2: score a touchdown on one play and like a four

120
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 2: second right staying on a Sunday night, So edniething is possible,

121
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 2: But this one is gonna be fun. I kind of

122
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 2: been thinking about it, and sorry, guys, but I mean,

123
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 2: is it Haley Steinfeld and Josh Allen or is it

124
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:20,720
Speaker 2: Travis Oh my gosh.

125
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,840
Speaker 4: Who will write in the dreame. Wow, You're welcome. You're

126
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 4: welcome for that everybody.

127
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 3: It's so funny. I am so Taylor swift coded and

128
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 3: I'm unapologetic about it, and I have. I met Patrick

129
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 3: Mahomes early in his career when he was with Texas Tech,

130
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:38,840
Speaker 3: and ever since then, you know from the relationship him

131
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,279
Speaker 3: and Baker Mayfield grew up together, and a lot of

132
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:43,919
Speaker 3: people don't really. I mean, it was it was a

133
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 3: storyline played out a lot early on in their careers,

134
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,040
Speaker 3: but now you know, the two have kind of gone

135
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:52,840
Speaker 3: on their separate paths. But I've always loved the way

136
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 3: Patrick Mahomes has razzled and dazzled, and then to add

137
00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 3: in the Taylor Swift element to Chiefs Kingdom, it's it's

138
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:05,840
Speaker 3: something that has been really fun to watch. And then

139
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 3: but then you can't.

140
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 4: You can't not root for Bill's Mafia. What a life? Really?

141
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 4: Can I have to say?

142
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 2: So? I got to go to Buffalo earlier this season,

143
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 2: was my first time there and my first time at

144
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 2: Orchard Park, and it was Sunday night football. I mean,

145
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 2: it's everything you imagine would be. Also, it was like

146
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 2: a snow globe. It basically didn't snow all day. The

147
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 2: game started and it just came magic dumping down. But

148
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 2: when you see these fans, first of all, and I

149
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 2: know this goes without saying, but I'm gonna say anyways,

150
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 2: it is freezing.

151
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 4: It is so flippin' cold. It is snowing.

152
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 2: I usually get to games four five hours early. There

153
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 2: was so much traffic. There's not usually traffic that early

154
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 2: because Bill's Mafia was already out tailgating rooting for their team.

155
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 2: I mean, it's it's really incredible. There are two sections.

156
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 2: I don't know if people know this, So here's a

157
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 2: fun fact. There are a few sections that are heated.

158
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 2: There are heat lamps above you. So if I were

159
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 2: a member Bill's Mafia, I would do everything I can

160
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 2: to be in those sections. But Bill's Mafia they love

161
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 2: this team. They love this team so much that I

162
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 2: do want this for them. And I think I wrote

163
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 2: in something earlier this week, I was so proud of this.

164
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 2: So I'm just going to share with all of you

165
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 2: will miss Americana and the heartbreak kid be Hailey Steinfeld

166
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 2: and Josh Allen or Taylor Swift and Travis k.

167
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 3: That is poetic. I mean, on my first rodeo, you

168
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 3: know what, there are so many fun angles. And I

169
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 3: do think too when you look at the Bills and

170
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 3: what they were slated to be at the beginning of

171
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:32,080
Speaker 3: this season, right, was this going to be a changing

172
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 3: of the guard year? Was this going to be a

173
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 3: year that kind of signified a closing of a window

174
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:41,200
Speaker 3: for what their team was, not on Josh Allen, but

175
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 3: the current iteration of it. Was it going to be

176
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 3: a transition? And here they are in the AFC Championship

177
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 3: and again, yep, I'm really intrigued to understand the reasoning

178
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 3: behind their offensive decision making in the second half against

179
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 3: the Baltimore Ravens last week, it did seem like they

180
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 3: started to play.

181
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 4: Not to lose. Rather, you can't do against the Chiefs,

182
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 4: right right.

183
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 3: So I wonder if they will approach this game with

184
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 3: the same mindset knowing that you can't make a mistake,

185
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 3: or with an opposite mindset, knowing that this is all

186
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 3: in or nothing.

187
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:20,079
Speaker 2: I think it has to be all in or nothing,

188
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 2: because the Chiefs are already in their head. They've already

189
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 2: not able to beat them in the playoffs. They can

190
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 2: beat them the regular season, they can't beat in the playoffs.

191
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 2: And so if you're going to play not to lose,

192
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,319
Speaker 2: more often than not, you're going to lose because you

193
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 2: will make mistakes. I want to talk a little bit

194
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 2: about something on defense for the Bills that could be

195
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:38,080
Speaker 2: a factor, and that's Taylor Rapp, who is going to

196
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:40,680
Speaker 2: be out, so they'll have a rookie at safety starting

197
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 2: next to DeMar Hamlin. And that's the kind of injury

198
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:45,679
Speaker 2: that matters, and that's the kind of injury that can

199
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:49,840
Speaker 2: definitely make a difference that Patrick Mahomes can't take advantage of.

200
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 2: But I think we talk so much about these offenses

201
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 2: because of the quarterbacks because they're such prolific offenses. These

202
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,199
Speaker 2: defenses are not exactly anything to scoff at, and at

203
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,439
Speaker 2: the end of the day, the day that could be

204
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 2: the difference maker.

205
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:04,440
Speaker 3: I think what's so interesting about both of these teams

206
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 3: when you step away and look at how they have

207
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 3: won this season, They've been able to shape shift and

208
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 3: morph to their personnel and to the strength they have.

209
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 3: So let's say the Chiefs aren't necessarily exploding with big

210
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 3: plays on offense anymore. They've become a team that can

211
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 3: close out games with their on the strength of their defense.

212
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 3: And likewise, for the Bills, not only is their defense strength,

213
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 3: but we talk about their run game, right, it's not

214
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 3: just Josh Allen contingent, but they're really establishing that offense

215
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 3: early on the ground and it opens up things for them.

216
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 3: So I think if you would look at these teams

217
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:50,319
Speaker 3: and their current iterations, you know, three years ago winning

218
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:54,559
Speaker 3: very differently, very differently, and it's a testament to their coaching,

219
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 3: to the playmakers they have.

220
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 4: On the field.

221
00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 3: So, yes, defense has emerged as a strength behind two

222
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 3: of the best quarterbacks in the NFL.

223
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:04,560
Speaker 2: And you bring up coaching, and I think It's something

224
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 2: often when we preview games, we don't talk enough about it.

225
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:10,680
Speaker 2: Because you have Andy Reid, you have Sean McDermott. I mean,

226
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 2: you do have a really good coaching battle. It's going

227
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 2: to be it's going to be a lot of fun.

228
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 2: The Bills have been playing though. I would love your

229
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:19,559
Speaker 2: take on this. This like underdog role.

230
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 1: Right.

231
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 2: People say we don't have talent. I don't know what

232
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 2: people are saying saying that, saying that. You look at

233
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 2: that Russell. It's a lot of talent, but you think

234
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:27,320
Speaker 2: it's motivating for them.

235
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 3: It's so funny. The chip on the proverbial shoulders of

236
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 3: the Bills and the Chiefs like bulletin board material.

237
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 1: Right.

238
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 3: I think Andy Reid said something earlier this week or

239
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 3: you know, we're probably not opening his favorites, something like

240
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:46,320
Speaker 3: what they are using to fuel their respective fires. And yeah,

241
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 3: the Bills are playing this you know slided you know,

242
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,960
Speaker 3: kid from the back from next door role, right, that

243
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:58,960
Speaker 3: is always overlooked and it's like, now we know everyone's

244
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:03,440
Speaker 3: paying you your you're due, So I think whatever you

245
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 3: need to light that fire, by all means do it.

246
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 3: I want to see a close game that comes down

247
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 3: to you know all two while Tracy, when you give

248
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 3: Patrick Mahomes, you know what was it? How many seconds

249
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:17,720
Speaker 3: was it against the forteen? Or well he got overtime

250
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 3: against you guys, so we got.

251
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 2: He got the overtime. And then it was the miss

252
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:24,439
Speaker 2: block on Chris Jones and then and I'll never forget

253
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 2: being in the press box watching and this is the

254
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 2: thing that like you forget, this is their job and

255
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 2: this you know, we watched me, we play fantasy football,

256
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 2: all the things.

257
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 4: This is their job.

258
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,679
Speaker 2: And I'll never forget touch on his score and I

259
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 2: could see the press box Charvarious Sword just rips off

260
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 2: his helmet and it's that heartbreaking moment. But what has

261
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 2: to lose and what has to win? And that is

262
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 2: the hardest thing about it. But since you bring up

263
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,320
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl, we would be remiss if we didn't

264
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 2: discuss the fact that the Chiefs are going for history.

265
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 2: And I know that there's a little bit of Chiefs fatigue.

266
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,560
Speaker 4: Which that's my best way to discribe. I think it's best.

267
00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 2: I don't that's not my thing because I kind of

268
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 2: think we're lucky to be living in a time. Not

269
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:03,839
Speaker 2: to be super dramatic about it, but living a time

270
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:05,680
Speaker 2: where we might see a team three pt we have

271
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 2: not seen that. But they're going for history and I

272
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 2: don't think that should be overlooked or down played.

273
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 4: That's a pretty big deal.

274
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 3: And I frankly felt the same way watching I mean,

275
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 3: Tom Brady otis to the Patriots, but then Ina Tampa

276
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 3: Bay was I found myself rooting for him, you know,

277
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 3: and just what that meant for his legacy. And it

278
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:31,559
Speaker 3: does feel very special to watch this Chiefs team from

279
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:36,560
Speaker 3: Kansas City. Right they're not a major market obviously NFL.

280
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 3: The difficulty of repeating as a Super Bowl champ, let

281
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:44,959
Speaker 3: alone going for something that's never been done before. I

282
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 3: can't help but say, you know, no matter who emerges

283
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 3: victorious from this AFC Championship game, we're lucky to bear

284
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 3: witness to it. I mean, what a storyline for the Bills,

285
00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 3: What a storyline for sports if it's the case the

286
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 3: City Chiefs that emerge and.

287
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 4: It's going to be taking care of the football.

288
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 2: During the regular season, the Bills led the league with

289
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 2: a plus twenty four turnover differential. Postseason, they are plus three.

290
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 2: All of the teams left have not committed turnovers. That

291
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 2: has been the key to this, and I think in

292
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 2: this game that's going to be the key the Bills.

293
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 2: Neither team can make a mistake, but the Bills more

294
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 2: than anything. None of these silly interceptions it could be snowing,

295
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 2: None of the bumbling of the football, the fun that's

296
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 2: what they call it, by the way, that's a technical term.

297
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 2: The fumbling of the football, None of that. It's going

298
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 2: to be a perfect game. But I think that turnover

299
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 2: differential is just really interesting to keep an eye on

300
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 2: because can they keep that going.

301
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 3: The Buffalo Bills offense is one of the most historically.

302
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 3: I think it's the historically best team in NFL in

303
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 3: league history at few turnovers. I'm saying this.

304
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 4: Completely take care of the football, right, Taking care.

305
00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 3: Of the football, that's what they excel at. And it's

306
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 3: going to be a strength against a team that frankly

307
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 3: likes to make a make a mess if you if

308
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:10,480
Speaker 3: you give them the opportunity to do so.

309
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 4: I like, make a mess, make a mess.

310
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 3: It's kind of fun. Life's more fun when it's messy.

311
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 4: One hundred percent.

312
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 2: And this game, I think this would be one of

313
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 2: those games that early on we're going to be tweeting

314
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 2: this this game is drunk.

315
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 4: I just feel like it's going to be that.

316
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 2: It's the afternoon game, well after for us evening on

317
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 2: the East Coast, early evening, where they're playing the game

318
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 2: in all the different time zones. But uh, messy. I

319
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 2: wanted to be messy. I wanted to be fun and messy.

320
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 3: And I think we're going to kind of look up

321
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 3: or look at the TV and be like, oh my gosh,

322
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 3: it's the third quarter and the Chiefs have had the

323
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 3: ball for how long? Like, I think it's going to

324
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 3: be a strategic goal for both teams to keep the

325
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 3: ball out of the other's hands.

326
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 2: Right, How important this is probasically question? But how important

327
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 2: is the opening drive? Whoever gets up ball first, do

328
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 2: they have to make a statement right off the bat?

329
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 4: I would say it's really important.

330
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 3: But I think that whatever happens, the other team's going

331
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 3: to get points on the board immediately after, and then

332
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 3: things are going to slow down. Right, Okay, let's say

333
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 3: whatever team scores first, the other is going to.

334
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 4: Match with a scorer or a field goal.

335
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 3: I think it's going to be a close game after

336
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 3: those opening drives for each respective squad.

337
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 2: Actually, both games are going to be a close game,

338
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 2: and we'll talk about the other one a little bit

339
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 2: later in the show.

340
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 4: But it's going to be fun. Are you? Do you

341
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 4: have rooting interests?

342
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 3: I mean just I might have been leaning this way

343
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 3: throughout the segment. I do love what Patrick Mahomes has

344
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 3: been able to accomplish, and I love Andy Reid. I

345
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 3: have my good friend's dad is Christian Nakoye, who's the

346
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 3: legendary running back for the Chiefs. Right, so I am

347
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 3: very very much leaning towards Kansas City. But then again,

348
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 3: if we're seeing Josh Allen and Haley Steinfeld and all

349
00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 3: of Bill's mafia in New Orleans, you can't go wrong.

350
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 4: What about you? I go back and forth on this.

351
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:05,119
Speaker 2: I think I'd like to see the Bills when I

352
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 2: think it'd be fun for them. But I also kind

353
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 2: of like the idea of history, and I think if

354
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:12,399
Speaker 2: any team can do it, it's it's past one of

355
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:14,119
Speaker 2: the Chiefs. And I don't know if it's something we

356
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:17,679
Speaker 2: would see everever again, certainly not in our lifetime.

357
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 4: I'm so dramatic today about the lifetime. Oh, let's wax poetic.

358
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:22,439
Speaker 5: I think it.

359
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:26,120
Speaker 4: I love it. I have a couple more. Just another minute.

360
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 4: We're going to talk about this before we move on.

361
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:30,920
Speaker 2: Give me this is putting you on the spot, okay,

362
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 2: but give me a tailor swift lyric.

363
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 4: That sums up this game. Oh I know it's putting you.

364
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:43,440
Speaker 4: Oh my goodness, I have one. It's really okay, a

365
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 4: cop out. Yeah, I'll give it you. Okay, are you

366
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 4: ready for it? I'm not ready.

367
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:51,720
Speaker 3: For it, clearly, but oh my gosh, I got a

368
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:53,919
Speaker 3: blank space, baby, and I'll write your name in the

369
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:54,560

380
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:35,600

Speaker 4: Time, Bunky.

399
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 2: Now, I'm gonna go be the head coach of the Jaguars.

400
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 2: So that is where we are with that. Pete Carroll

401
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 2: the coach of the Raiders. Quickly, what do we think

402
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:36,879
Speaker 2: of that?

403
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:40,920
Speaker 3: Nikki, I personally love it, thinking of him and Tom

404
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 3: Brady kind of in the same you know mind bank

405
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:49,240
Speaker 3: think tank if you will. I hear he's very organized,

406
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 3: very structured, and that's what this Raiders team needs and

407
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:56,919
Speaker 3: could we maybe see a reunion with Pete Carroll and

408
00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 3: Russell Wilson.

409
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:00,639
Speaker 4: Oh, interesting, Las Vegas.

410
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:03,199
Speaker 2: I'm looking forward to the post game handshakes with him

411
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:06,159
Speaker 2: and Jim Harbot twice year. That's my that's person that

412
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 2: I all looking forward to. At the moment, Ben Johnson

413
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:11,880
Speaker 2: leaves Alliance for the Chicago Bears.

414
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:14,960
Speaker 4: Will this one work? Tbd? But if he brings an

415
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,200
Speaker 4: O line with him, then it just might.

416
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:21,359
Speaker 3: Everyone's looking for the next McVeigh and you know, I

417
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:25,400
Speaker 3: think Chicago, after the season they had with Caleb Williams,

418
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:26,479
Speaker 3: desperately needs it.

419
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 2: So godspeed, the Cowboys have their man. It is not

420
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:32,359
Speaker 2: Deon Sanders.

421
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 3: I don't really understand this.

422
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 4: I don't understand the Cowboys generally. I don't get that.

423
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 3: Right. Let's fire our current head coach and make the

424
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 3: offensive coordinator. It just doesn't It doesn't compute a lot

425
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:52,120
Speaker 3: of moves in this coaching carousel, so to speak. Seemed

426
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,159
Speaker 3: a little bit panic and out of desperation.

427
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 4: Aaron Glenn to the Jets.

428
00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:58,399
Speaker 2: I think what's interesting for both him and Van Johnson

429
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:00,959
Speaker 2: is they're going to two organizations that have not been

430
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 2: run all that well. Will their presence there change it.

431
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:06,480
Speaker 2: I don't know what to tell you on that time

432
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 2: will tell, But Mike.

433
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:09,720
Speaker 4: Rabel, of course, the Patriots.

00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 2: but not least, your defensive coordinator is back, Robert Sala back.

00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:19,360
Speaker 4: In San Francisco.

438
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 2: Basically, the Cowboys announced their coaching higher and the forty

439
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:25,920
Speaker 2: nine Ers announced within minutes that they've hired Robert Sala

00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:09,920
Speaker 6: one to twenty six, and Oregon trailing Minnesota twenty seven

473
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 6: to eleven. Oregon the fifteenth ra aine team in the nation.

474
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:15,400
Speaker 6: The eleven minutes, thirty four seconds left in the first

475
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 6: half of college basketball.

476
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 4: Back to you guys, Thank you Martin, we love you.

477
00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:22,240
Speaker 4: Enter updates.

478
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:24,160
Speaker 2: We are coming to you live from the tyrack dot

479
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 2: com studios and we will welcome our first guest, Maddi

480
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:31,399
Speaker 2: Glab Bill's team reporter. Kind of has a big day tomorrow, Maddie,

481
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 2: Welcome to the show.

482
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:36,240
Speaker 7: Hey ladies, Yes, a big day tomorrow for the Bills,

483
00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 7: but we are so excited that they have the opportunity

484
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 7: to play for a chance to go to the Super Bowl.

485
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,239
Speaker 2: I mean, I have to start by asking, what has

486
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:47,120
Speaker 2: the vibe been like this week? What has the vibe

487
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:49,159
Speaker 2: been in the locker room? Do they see Dervis? Do

488
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:51,960
Speaker 2: they seem loose and ready for some fun football? What's

489
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:52,439
Speaker 2: it been like.

490
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:57,800
Speaker 7: It's been loose, it's been calm, it's been cool. It's

491
00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:00,639
Speaker 7: a different type of vibe this year around compared to

492
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:04,240
Speaker 7: yours past. Last year when this team was in the playoffs,

493
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:07,639
Speaker 7: seemed like they were hobbling into the playoffs on one foot,

494
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:11,639
Speaker 7: they had to really play their final five games with

495
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 7: a mindset of if we lose, we're not going to

496
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 7: make it. And so then this year they win the

497
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:20,440
Speaker 7: AFC East early on, and they were cruising the last

498
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:23,159
Speaker 7: two weeks of the season. So I think it's a

499
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 7: very different mindset. And this team is pretty healthy entering

500
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:30,639
Speaker 7: this week. I know there are a couple injuries that

501
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:32,679
Speaker 7: we're keeping a watch on and a couple guys that

502
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:35,480
Speaker 7: are questionable for this one, but the vibe in the

503
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:37,440
Speaker 7: locker room has been great, and I think a lot

504
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:40,440
Speaker 7: of that is because their team is getting older every year,

505
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:42,000
Speaker 7: so you've got a good bunch of guys who have

506
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:45,880
Speaker 7: been there, done that, and know what to expect on Sunday.

507
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:48,240
Speaker 4: Hey, Maddie's pleasure to chat with you.

508
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:51,760
Speaker 3: Nikki here, And I want to say I don't think

509
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 3: anyone's surprised that Buffalo is in this position right But

510
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:58,520
Speaker 3: what I was a little taken aback by was the

511
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:02,320
Speaker 3: way the Bills closed out again against Baltimore last week,

512
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:05,359
Speaker 3: and it seemed like all the momentum from the first

513
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 3: half just kind of stimmied in the second half. So

514
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 3: I guess my question to you is why was the

515
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:13,359
Speaker 3: Bills offense so conservative there to close out the game.

516
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 8: Yeah.

517
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 7: I think it goes to ball control. I mean you

518
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:19,280
Speaker 7: look at time of possession and the Bills won that

519
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 7: thirty one minutes forty four seconds to Baltimore's twenty eight

520
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:26,400
Speaker 7: minutes in sixteen seconds. And our head coach Sean McDermott

521
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:29,400
Speaker 7: was asked about this trend in the NFL to really

522
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:32,119
Speaker 7: take control of the ball and hold on to the

523
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 7: football as much as you could, and he said, yeah,

524
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:38,919
Speaker 7: it's something that is well, it was of the NFL

525
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:41,320
Speaker 7: of the yester years when everybody was running the football.

526
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:44,240
Speaker 7: You're seeing it a little bit more now. And he

527
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:47,960
Speaker 7: said it's game plan specific, so it's dependent on your opponent.

528
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:50,720
Speaker 7: But I do think Buffalo wants to try and be

529
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 7: the team who has the football at the very last moment.

530
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:56,520
Speaker 7: I know the Ravens did have success in the second half.

531
00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 7: Buffalo to start the second half went punt punt while

532
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:02,880
Speaker 7: the field goal touchdown, and so the Ravens were able

533
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 7: to get in it pretty quickly. Thankfully, the Bill score

534
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:08,640
Speaker 7: on the next couple of possessions field goals instead of touchdowns,

535
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 7: but Yeah. I think it comes from the fact that

536
00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 7: they wanted to run the clock out. They wanted to

537
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:18,879
Speaker 7: control the football, control possession, and that's maybe why you

538
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 7: didn't see as many high flying plays out there. But

539
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:26,119
Speaker 7: against an offense like the Kansas City Chiefs and the

540
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:28,359
Speaker 7: team like the Kansasity Chiefs, I know they don't have

541
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:32,560
Speaker 7: the offense that we're used to, but still I think

542
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:35,720
Speaker 7: for this one there might have to be those Josh

543
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 7: Allen plays where you look at the person next to

544
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:40,480
Speaker 7: you and you go, did we just watch that? Is

545
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:42,679
Speaker 7: he human? I think the Bills are going to have

546
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 7: to do that.

547
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 2: To be the chief I also want to talk about

548
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:48,159
Speaker 2: turnover differential. It's something we talked about earlier in the

549
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:51,119
Speaker 2: show Something where the Bills led the NFL this season.

550
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:54,880
Speaker 2: How much is that emphasized on a daily basis? How

551
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:57,440
Speaker 2: much has it been emphasized really going back to training

552
00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 2: camp because they're so good at it that it also

553
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:02,280
Speaker 2: has to be a point of emphasis.

554
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:03,080
Speaker 8: Yeah.

555
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 7: Plus twenty four turnover margin is what they finish with

556
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:08,640
Speaker 7: in the regular season, leads the league. It's the best

557
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 7: since twenty twelve. And offensively, this has been something that

558
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 7: Josh Allen has been working on for the last couple

559
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:18,119
Speaker 7: of years, and we're finally seeing the fruit of his

560
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:22,320
Speaker 7: labor in this He has just six interceptions this season

561
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:25,879
Speaker 7: and eight total turnovers for the team as a whole.

562
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 7: That also led the NFL. It was the lowest in league.

563
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:33,320
Speaker 7: So it's something that he's wanted to do and he's

564
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 7: focused on in the offseason and really made an effort

565
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:40,320
Speaker 7: to try and limit those turnovers, limit those interceptions because

566
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:42,639
Speaker 7: in the past couple of years he's been leading the

567
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 7: league in that category. That's not a category you want

568
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:48,720
Speaker 7: to lead the league. And then defensively, we have a

569
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:51,600
Speaker 7: new defensive coordinator this year. His name is Bobby Babbitt,

570
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:55,639
Speaker 7: and I think he's really instilled a splash play mindset

571
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:59,679
Speaker 7: in his group. Splash play mindset meaning take the football away,

572
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:03,000
Speaker 7: give the offense as many chances as they can have

573
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:06,960
Speaker 7: to score. It happens to be thirty two takeaways is

574
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 7: what they finished the regular season with, which is third

575
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 7: best in the league. They had three against the Ravens

576
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:15,040
Speaker 7: and that was the difference in the game, not letting

577
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:18,040
Speaker 7: the Ravens have three more possessions. Who knows what would

578
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 7: have happened if Lamar Jackson had the ball three more

579
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 7: times with a chance to make something happen. So I

580
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:27,160
Speaker 7: think it's been critical for this team in the playoffs.

581
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:30,119
Speaker 7: I know they didn't have any takeaways against the Broncos,

582
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:32,800
Speaker 7: but really last week against the Ravens, it was the

583
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:34,720
Speaker 7: difference in the game, and I think you're going to

584
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:37,720
Speaker 7: have to do something like that against Patrick Mahomes when

585
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 7: the two face each other for the first time this season.

586
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:44,360
Speaker 7: In Week eleven, Mahomes had two interceptions in two sacks.

587
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 7: Josh Allen did throw an interception as well, but the

588
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:51,560
Speaker 7: Bills won the turnover battle there and I believe they're

589
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:54,160
Speaker 7: going to have to do that again this weekend if

590
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:56,440
Speaker 7: they want a chance to be the team that's heading

591
00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:58,120
Speaker 7: to New Orleans instead of Kansas City.

592
00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:02,400
Speaker 3: Absolutely, you have to play mistake free football against the

593
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:04,800
Speaker 3: reigning back to back champs, right, But.

594
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:07,320
Speaker 4: You kind of alluded to it earlier.

595
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:10,720
Speaker 3: The Bills are winning in ways differently than they have

596
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:12,920
Speaker 3: in the past, and it's the same for these Kansas

597
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:16,320
Speaker 3: City Chiefs. But one guy that is time and time

598
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:20,480
Speaker 3: again proven in the postseason is Travis Kelcey. And I

599
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:24,840
Speaker 3: mean against Buffalo in the postseason when Kansas City three

600
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 3: and zero against the Bills.

601
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:29,200
Speaker 4: Kelsey has just dashed the Bills right.

602
00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 3: He's had twenty six catches for two hundred and eighty

603
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 3: nine yards and five touchdowns.

604
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:37,360
Speaker 4: Bottom line here, what do the Bills need to do

605
00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 4: to stop Travis kelcey?

606
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:43,440
Speaker 7: It is so hard to stop Travis kelce He has

607
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:46,600
Speaker 7: such a good understanding of his quarterback Patrick Mahomes and

608
00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:49,680
Speaker 7: just knows where to sit in zones and knows the

609
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 7: places to be where he's going to have room to

610
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 7: make a play. And that's really hard. That's really hard

611
00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:59,560
Speaker 7: to knock him off a spot and really hard to

612
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:01,920
Speaker 7: go up against him because if you're going to like

613
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 7: double cover him, then you're taking a guy away from

614
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:07,200
Speaker 7: somewhere else on the field. If you cover him with

615
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 7: just one guy, that is bad enough to affect Travis

616
00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:13,280
Speaker 7: kelce I mean, he was averaging a clear low like

617
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:15,680
Speaker 7: fifty one receiving yards per game this season and then

618
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:18,280
Speaker 7: he goes off in the playoffs last week with one

619
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:21,680
Speaker 7: hundred and seventeen receiving yards. It was the second most

620
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:24,800
Speaker 7: receiving yards of any player last week. He is somebody

621
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 7: you're going to have to really pay attention to. I'm

622
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:30,160
Speaker 7: really interested to see what the matchup is like on

623
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 7: Sunday because one of our safeties, Taylor Rapp, is out

624
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:35,560
Speaker 7: and is not going to be playing in the game.

625
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 7: Stepping up and his absence is a rookie safety. His

626
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 7: name is Cole Bishop. He's made four starts this season,

627
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:46,120
Speaker 7: so he does have time on the field. But you're

628
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:49,480
Speaker 7: going up against and you'll be helping trying to stop

629
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:52,200
Speaker 7: a guy like Travis Kelce. It's going to be a

630
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 7: tall task for this rookie. But I'm really glad he

631
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 7: got first team reps all week and really had that

632
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:01,720
Speaker 7: communication with his other seat next to him, trying to

633
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:03,840
Speaker 7: figure out the game plan of how do we stop

634
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 7: a huge weapon in Travis Kelsey. I think it's going

635
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:09,960
Speaker 7: to be priority number one or number two on Buffalo's

636
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 7: list defensively.

637
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:15,880
Speaker 2: And one more really quick before we go. You kind

638
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:19,600
Speaker 2: of touched on this earlier, but how important is it

639
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:21,880
Speaker 2: for them to make sure Patrick Mahomes does not have

640
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:23,360
Speaker 2: the ball in his hands to end the game.

641
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:26,640
Speaker 7: It's going to be super important. I mean, if you

642
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:30,680
Speaker 7: look at the stats, it's crazy. This team has eleven

643
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 7: comeback wins this year, eleven to one possession wins this year.

644
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 7: Patrick Mahomes is five and one when trailing in the

645
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:40,560
Speaker 7: fourth quarter. He's won the last sixteen to one possession games.

646
00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:43,520
Speaker 7: I mean, these are things that just screen at you

647
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:46,120
Speaker 7: do not let this guy have the ball on the

648
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 7: last few minutes of the game, on the last play

649
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:51,600
Speaker 7: of the game. You want to try to possess the

650
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:53,480
Speaker 7: ball as much as you can. And that's why I

651
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:55,560
Speaker 7: think time possession, I'll go back there is going to

652
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:58,440
Speaker 7: be so important to this game. When they played each

653
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:01,240
Speaker 7: other in week eleven, Buffalo that as well, thirty four

654
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:04,160
Speaker 7: minutes to twenty six minutes. I think that's going to

655
00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:06,600
Speaker 7: be what you have to do is you have to

656
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:08,600
Speaker 7: I think the Bills are really going to try to

657
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:10,320
Speaker 7: run the football in this one. They're going to try

658
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 7: and run the clock. They're going to try and possess

659
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:14,200
Speaker 7: the football as much as they can, and then it's

660
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:16,080
Speaker 7: going to be on the defense to take the ball

661
00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 7: out of the Chief's hands and try and do that

662
00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:20,840
Speaker 7: as much as possible. And at the end of the game,

663
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 7: it's going to be so important for them to be

664
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 7: the ones who have the football in their hands as

665
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:28,920
Speaker 7: the clock strikes down to zero, because if you have

666
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:31,600
Speaker 7: Patrick Mahomes and he has a couple of minutes, even

667
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:33,920
Speaker 7: a couple of seconds. I mean, talk about a fan

668
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 7: base and a team who knows what the Chiefs can do.

669
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:40,560
Speaker 7: I go back to that thirteen seconds game. That really,

670
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:44,080
Speaker 7: I mean, it's a game that lives still in the

671
00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:46,640
Speaker 7: back of our minds because the Chiefs can do anything

672
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:49,040
Speaker 7: with a few seconds. So it's going to come down

673
00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:51,640
Speaker 7: to I think the last couple plays, the last couple

674
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 7: possessions the last quarter of this game, because we know

675
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 7: anything can happen with Patrick Mahomes at QB.

676
00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 4: Maddie, will you sleep tonight? Are you going to be

677
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:00,920
Speaker 4: to nerves?

678
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:05,600
Speaker 7: The nerves are have already started, guys. I hope I sleep.

679
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:07,040
Speaker 8: But man, this is.

680
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:09,760
Speaker 7: A game where I feel like usually on game days,

681
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 7: I'm like, Okay, let's go, We're ready to go. I'm

682
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:15,000
Speaker 7: getting in I'm getting anxious. I just want to play

683
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:17,600
Speaker 7: this game. I'm already starting to feel that way and

684
00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:20,560
Speaker 7: it is Saturday afternoon, so I don't think that bodes

685
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:21,560
Speaker 7: well for sleep tonight.

686
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 4: Well, Maddie, thank you so much. Excited to sleep.

687
00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:26,680

703

Speaker 1: in sports.

704
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:16,120
Speaker 3: Listen. We are yes girls, right Tracy, But we are

705
00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 3: going to start off with something you should absolutely not

706
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:24,239
Speaker 3: do in any line of work you are in. Do

707
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:28,719
Speaker 3: not assume anything is final until you sign on the

708
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:34,040
Speaker 3: dotted line. Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Liam Cohne, we are looking

709
00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:38,000
Speaker 3: at you. We sure are, Nikki so so a little

710
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:42,080
Speaker 3: breakdown of the coaching drama in case you missed it.

711
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:46,560
Speaker 3: The Jacksonville Jaguars were looking for a head coach this week,

712
00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:50,279
Speaker 3: as were many teams right they had their site set

713
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:55,240
Speaker 3: on Liam Cohen, the offensive coordinator for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Now,

714
00:34:56,160 --> 00:35:00,640
Speaker 3: at some point Tampa Bay knew Liam was in running Jacksonville.

715
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:03,840
Speaker 3: They said, hey, you take the interview, just do the

716
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:04,399
Speaker 3: first round.

717
00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:05,560
Speaker 4: It's good, good practice.

718
00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:08,360
Speaker 3: But we're gonna we're gonna pay you pretty to stay

719
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:10,600
Speaker 3: here in Tampa Bay. We want you to be here

720
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:13,280
Speaker 3: with Baker. We love what you guys accomplished this season.

721
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:17,319
Speaker 3: So Liam goes ahead and does one round of the

722
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:20,759
Speaker 3: interview with Jacksonville. He goes back with that leverage with

723
00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:27,120
Speaker 3: Tampa Bay. They offer him a suite demon Right, Well,

724
00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:31,080
Speaker 3: let's go back to Jacksonville for a moment where they

725
00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:32,360
Speaker 3: fire their GM.

726
00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:37,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, and point of contention for mister Cochle, right, and

727
00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:39,440
Speaker 2: then they come back.

728
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:43,720
Speaker 3: Mister Kahn comes back to mister Cohen and says, hey,

729
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:45,719
Speaker 3: these are the moves we've made. We want to bring

730
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:49,640
Speaker 3: you to Jacksonville where you can have more autonomy, more authority,

731
00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:52,000
Speaker 3: and you can be a head coach and we'll pay

732
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:57,200
Speaker 3: you as well. And so here here comes the shady

733
00:35:57,280 --> 00:36:00,319
Speaker 3: part of things that people have a point of contention. Yeah, right,

734
00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:04,640
Speaker 3: Liam Kuhn was supposed to sign on the dotted line

735
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:08,360
Speaker 3: with Tampa Bay to stay there as the offensive coordinator.

736
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:11,360
Speaker 3: All of a sudden, he goes a little bit radio

737
00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:15,120
Speaker 3: silent and saying he has to attend to a personal

738
00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:17,520
Speaker 3: matter on the day he's supposed to sign on the

739
00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:18,160
Speaker 3: dotted line.

740
00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:19,399
Speaker 4: Nobody can get a hold of him.

741
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:21,279
Speaker 3: Well, it turns out he had been on a flight

742
00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:25,759
Speaker 3: to Jacksonville finalizing things with the Jaguars while they were

743
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:33,759
Speaker 3: also stalling to fulfill their what's the Rooney rol Rooney rule? Yes,

744
00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:36,439
Speaker 3: thank you, to fulfill their Rooney rule, and they didn't

745
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:38,680
Speaker 3: want to scare away the candidate who was meeting for

746
00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:43,279
Speaker 3: the Rooney rule because they were so very much in

747
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:47,800
Speaker 3: pursuit of mister Cohen. So all as things all unfold,

748
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:51,839
Speaker 3: the Jacksonville Jaguars are naming their new head coach as

749
00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:55,480
Speaker 3: Liam Kuhn, and Tampa Bay is left without an offensive coordinator.

750
00:36:56,880 --> 00:36:58,400
Speaker 4: I have a do do.

751
00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:02,439
Speaker 2: Listen to Nikki Kay you are negotiating, because she has

752
00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:05,520
Speaker 2: it down and she will make sure that you don't

753
00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:06,240
Speaker 2: assume anything.

754
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:09,360
Speaker 3: I was a little nervous. I'm sure I didn't clarify

755
00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:13,200
Speaker 3: the timeline, you know, to the specificity that might clear

756
00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:14,759
Speaker 3: up a lot of the clouds in that, but the

757
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:18,719
Speaker 3: bottom line is he never finalized things with Tampa Bay

758
00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:24,440
Speaker 3: and he knew his worth and he masterfully played the

759
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:28,080
Speaker 3: art of negotiation and got the deal he wanted, which

760
00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:31,000
Speaker 3: is coaching Trevor Lawrence having more control of being a

761
00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:34,160
Speaker 3: head coach in the NFL. And we'll see if Jacksonville's

762
00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:37,040
Speaker 3: you know, risk really pays off.

763
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:40,840
Speaker 2: We will see this is another organization that doesn't have

764
00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:44,720
Speaker 2: the best track record, but perhaps he will turn things around.

765
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:46,480
Speaker 4: So there you go, and do I wmore?

766
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:46,799
Speaker 3: Do though?

767
00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:50,160
Speaker 4: Know your worth? Know your worth? And I do feel bad.

768
00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:52,480
Speaker 3: I do feel sorry for Baker Mayfield.

769
00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:53,680
Speaker 4: Yes, because this.

770
00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:57,359
Speaker 3: Is a quarterback we've seen, you know, speaking of knowing

771
00:37:57,440 --> 00:37:59,839
Speaker 3: your worth, bet on himself time and time again and

772
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:03,200
Speaker 3: really establish some rhythm and chemistry with Cohen, and he

773
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:05,560
Speaker 3: thought he was going to be with him again for

774
00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:08,920
Speaker 3: another season. But I think he would be the first

775
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:12,600
Speaker 3: to tell his oc hey, go get your bag, go

776
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:13,680
Speaker 3: do what you're capable of.

777
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:15,600
Speaker 2: And I think the other side of that is Baker

778
00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:17,840
Speaker 2: Mayfield is now to point his career where he's getting

779
00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:21,520
Speaker 2: his offensive coordinator head coaching Johbbs right. So there is

780
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:23,759
Speaker 2: something to be said for that, Well, I know you

781
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:24,520
Speaker 2: have a fun do.

782
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:29,360
Speaker 3: Okay, do trust your mom when it comes to dating advice.

783
00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:33,040
Speaker 3: And this is a nod to Jaden Daniels because his

784
00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:34,760
Speaker 3: mama isn't letting him talk.

785
00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:35,360
Speaker 4: To any girls.

786
00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:40,200
Speaker 3: And look where it's gotten him in an NFC championship

787
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:42,880
Speaker 3: game as a rookie because he's not distracted.

788
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 2: I like that, And I have a commanders do as well.

789

790
00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:51,400

00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:58,880
Speaker 2: make a play when necessary like nothing I have ever seen.

793
00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:01,319
Speaker 4: Oh we need a big play to change the game.

Speaker 4: So those are our funds.

801
00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:18,600
Speaker 2: And don't you brought up Baker Mayfield and I think

802
00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:20,719
Speaker 2: that that actually is kind of a cool point. This

803
00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:22,800
Speaker 2: is how the second yere to row where he's gotten

804
00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:26,480
Speaker 2: somebody a job. And so also, don't give up on

805
00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:28,920
Speaker 2: your dreams. Look at how Baker Mayfield started his career

806
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:29,320
Speaker 2: and look.

807
00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:31,080
Speaker 3: Where he was and when he was in college. Do

00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:33,040

Speaker 2: really really looking forward to, and that is the NFC

828
00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:38,000
Speaker 2: Championship review.

829
00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:41,080
Speaker 3: Tracy, it is so wild because I think if you

830
00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:45,560
Speaker 3: had presented this situation to me, you know, two months ago, Hey,

831
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:48,840
Speaker 3: what game are you more excited for in the end,

832
00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:53,520
Speaker 3: like in the NFL postseason, Bill's Chiefs or Eagles commanders,

833
00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:57,480
Speaker 3: and I would automatically pick Bill's Chiefs. Yet, for some reason,

834
00:40:58,120 --> 00:41:00,480
Speaker 3: in the build up to this week, the way Jaden

835
00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:05,400
Speaker 3: Daniels has emerged as an absolute star, I am so

836
00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:08,719
Speaker 3: intrigued to see how this NFC Championship plays out.

837
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:11,640
Speaker 2: I am too, and I'm gonna start with some I

838
00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:15,280
Speaker 2: guess housekeeping stuff, not so much the fun stuff.

839
00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:18,360
Speaker 4: But I think this tight up, tidy up train, tightying

840
00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:19,840
Speaker 4: up for something that I think could make a difference

841
00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:20,200
Speaker 4: in the game.

842
00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:23,560
Speaker 2: Personally, I have not been super impressed with Jalen Hurts

843
00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:26,680
Speaker 2: in these playoffs. I think he has been fine. He's

844
00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:29,480
Speaker 2: now dealing with a knee injury. How much of an

845
00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:32,880
Speaker 2: impact he'll have It's gonna be hard to say, but

846
00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:36,520
Speaker 2: they've been a little SECRETIVI ish she was wearing sweatpants

847
00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:38,720
Speaker 2: the other day at practice, maybe covering up a knebrace.

848
00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:40,880
Speaker 2: There many a rumor that we don't really have an

849
00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:44,200
Speaker 2: answer to. But I have not been super impressed aj Brown.

850
00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:46,640
Speaker 4: Where'd you go? Where did you go?

851
00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:49,120
Speaker 2: I downloaded the book in her excellence. I think it

852
00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:51,440
Speaker 2: is gonna be really helpful for my inner excellence. But

853
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:57,200
Speaker 2: aj Brown, where did you go? But Jalen Hurts haven't

854
00:41:57,200 --> 00:41:59,560
Speaker 2: been that oppressed, which means this is Saquan's game.

855
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:04,440
Speaker 4: It would have been anyway. But I don't know. I

856
00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:06,360
Speaker 4: don't think these Eagles have it. I'm just gonna go

857
00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:07,840
Speaker 4: and say it. I don't think they have it.

858
00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:10,359
Speaker 3: It's so funny because it brings me back to where

859
00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:12,200
Speaker 3: we were at the beginning of the season when they

860
00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:15,799
Speaker 3: played Green Bay in Brazil, right, and this team that

861
00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:19,120
Speaker 3: was puffing out their chests and then it was such

862
00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:21,279
Speaker 3: a close game, and then it was like do the

863
00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:24,000
Speaker 3: Eagle what are they going to be? And then as

864
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:26,719
Speaker 3: the season played out, they looked more and more the

865
00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:30,319
Speaker 3: dominant powerhouse they were going to be, with Saquon and

866
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:34,399
Speaker 3: the defense mainly carrying the conversation. But here we are,

867
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:38,440
Speaker 3: and you look at these two teams, you know, on paper,

868
00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:42,600
Speaker 3: and the Eagles pretty much are more talented at every

869
00:42:42,719 --> 00:42:48,160
Speaker 3: position with the exception of quarterback and what we have

870
00:42:48,320 --> 00:42:50,120
Speaker 3: seen emerge on there was.

871
00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:53,720
Speaker 2: A collective just just you guys know, the collective in Philly.

872
00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:54,440
Speaker 4: There was just a.

873
00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:04,000
Speaker 3: No I I mean, it's just been so intriguing to

874
00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:08,520
Speaker 3: see the gravity that a rookie quarterback has had in

875
00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:12,399
Speaker 3: making people believe in this Washington Commander's team that has

876
00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:15,120
Speaker 3: been in such a turnaround from where they were a

877
00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:20,719
Speaker 3: year ago. And so I am just kind of in

878
00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:25,560
Speaker 3: awe of right this Mighty Eagles powerhouse, the birds puffing

879
00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:29,879
Speaker 3: out their chests, and rightfully so, they did close out

880
00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:33,719
Speaker 3: the season looking strong. But here are the commanders.

881
00:43:33,920 --> 00:43:37,520
Speaker 4: Nobody thought they'd be here, and here they are. And

882
00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:39,000
Speaker 4: you mentioned Jadeen Daniels.

883
00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:41,640
Speaker 2: I don't know if we've ever seen a cooler, war

884
00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:44,479
Speaker 2: collected rookie at the quarterback position. I saw Tom Brady

885
00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:46,640
Speaker 2: said something the other day about the thing with Jane Daniels.

886
00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:48,480
Speaker 2: He goes on the field, he thinks he's gonna win

887
00:43:48,520 --> 00:43:50,760
Speaker 2: the game. There's none of this is you talked earlier

888
00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:53,080
Speaker 2: about playing not to lose. There's no that he thinks

889
00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:54,600
Speaker 2: he is going to win the game. It doesn't matter

890
00:43:54,640 --> 00:43:56,480
Speaker 2: who they're playing and who they're up against. And you

891
00:43:56,480 --> 00:43:58,920
Speaker 2: could see it, and you can see it in his poise.

892
00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:02,759
Speaker 2: Terry McLaurin finally has a quarterback, and their connection has

893
00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:07,160
Speaker 2: been spectacular. It's it's been fun to watch.

894
00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:10,680
Speaker 3: It's really it's really fascinating. The game has slowed down

895
00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:13,760
Speaker 3: for Jaden Daniels to a point where he is able

896
00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:18,319
Speaker 3: to execute at a level that, you know, no other

897
00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:23,319
Speaker 3: rookie has ever won, you know, one championship game to

898
00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:26,239
Speaker 3: get to the playoffs. Right, He's the sixth rookie to

899
00:44:26,320 --> 00:44:30,080
Speaker 3: lead his team to the NFC AFC Championship but not

900
00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:33,000
Speaker 3: to win past it. So he has the opportunity to

901
00:44:33,600 --> 00:44:37,000
Speaker 3: have the best rookie season of all time. And on

902
00:44:37,080 --> 00:44:41,120
Speaker 3: top of that, just the connection and belief he's been

903
00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:45,799
Speaker 3: able to develop with Cliff Kingsbury in you know an

904
00:44:45,960 --> 00:44:47,480
Speaker 3: under Dan Quinn.

905
00:44:47,680 --> 00:44:49,440
Speaker 4: It's it's really cool.

906
00:44:49,520 --> 00:44:53,000
Speaker 3: And this is a fan base speaking of a tormented

907
00:44:53,040 --> 00:44:53,560
Speaker 3: fan base.

908
00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:55,200
Speaker 4: My gosh, so tormented it is.

909
00:44:55,360 --> 00:44:58,560
Speaker 3: It's been a minute. Nineteen ninety three was the last time.

910
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:01,520
Speaker 3: I I need to double check that year, but it

911
00:45:01,840 --> 00:45:05,000
Speaker 3: has been nineteen ninety one, thirty three seasons ago.

912
00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:07,440
Speaker 4: What's the last time even longer?

913
00:45:07,640 --> 00:45:08,359
Speaker 8: Right? Right?

914
00:45:08,880 --> 00:45:12,360
Speaker 3: So I'm just I'm fascinated. I think the one word

915
00:45:12,719 --> 00:45:15,759
Speaker 3: I think of when I think of Jade Daniels is aura. Yes, right,

916
00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:18,759
Speaker 3: there is a lot of talk about what players, what

917
00:45:18,880 --> 00:45:23,359
Speaker 3: personalities have aura, and I mean the effect that he's

918
00:45:23,400 --> 00:45:27,440
Speaker 3: had on him his play and his teammates belief in

919
00:45:27,480 --> 00:45:28,200
Speaker 3: their play.

920
00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:30,880
Speaker 4: Yes, has been really fun to watch.

921
00:45:31,200 --> 00:45:33,560
Speaker 2: And it's something we saw actually a couple of years

922
00:45:33,560 --> 00:45:35,480
Speaker 2: ago with Brock Party. There was a belief in the

923
00:45:35,560 --> 00:45:37,680
Speaker 2: rookie sham and you, and there was the belief the

924
00:45:37,719 --> 00:45:40,560
Speaker 2: teammates had in him. And this is similar. I think

925
00:45:40,640 --> 00:45:42,640
Speaker 2: Jaydeen Daniels and this is no disrespect to Brock Party.

926
00:45:42,640 --> 00:45:43,080
Speaker 2: I think it's great.

927
00:45:43,440 --> 00:45:43,760
Speaker 4: Quarterback.

928
00:45:43,840 --> 00:45:47,080
Speaker 2: Jane Daniels is at a different level of talent, but

929
00:45:47,200 --> 00:45:49,600
Speaker 2: you can see it. They trust him. He feels like

930
00:45:49,640 --> 00:45:53,280
Speaker 2: a veteran. He's a veteran in the huddle. And the aura,

931
00:45:53,360 --> 00:45:55,719
Speaker 2: the aura is the perfect word, and the aura has

932
00:45:55,880 --> 00:45:59,719
Speaker 2: really gone around the entire team, the entire organization. Dare

933
00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:04,960
Speaker 2: I say they feel a little team of destiny, A.

934
00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:06,759
Speaker 4: Little I know, right.

935
00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:09,960
Speaker 3: The one thing I heard a commander's hand speaking the

936
00:46:09,960 --> 00:46:11,520
Speaker 3: other day and he was like, the one thing that's

937
00:46:11,560 --> 00:46:14,440
Speaker 3: concerning is that there's a little too many team of

938
00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:16,960
Speaker 3: destinies being floated out. I mean in terms of coming

939
00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:20,440
Speaker 3: from people calling the commander's team of destiny. It's like, honestly,

940
00:46:20,480 --> 00:46:25,160
Speaker 3: you don't want to jinx it, right, but there's just

941
00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:29,799
Speaker 3: something interesting about the way this game has a weight

942
00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:34,040
Speaker 3: to it, and I think it's really hard not to

943
00:46:34,080 --> 00:46:38,799
Speaker 3: be excited about what's going on in Washington, DC.

944
00:46:39,400 --> 00:46:41,000
Speaker 2: This game does have a weight to it, and I

945
00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:43,560
Speaker 2: think that's something to keep an eye on early in

946
00:46:43,600 --> 00:46:48,360
Speaker 2: the game, because, as we said, Jaden Daniels super cool, calm, poise.

947
00:46:48,760 --> 00:46:50,440
Speaker 4: Makes the throws, all of the things.

948
00:46:50,480 --> 00:46:52,120
Speaker 2: But this game does have a weight to it, and

949
00:46:52,280 --> 00:46:54,880
Speaker 2: he will be on the road against a division rival

950
00:46:55,239 --> 00:47:00,440
Speaker 2: with a very very shall I say, passionate fan base

951
00:47:00,560 --> 00:47:05,360
Speaker 2: behind it, and it's hard for the best of athletes

952
00:47:05,440 --> 00:47:09,040
Speaker 2: and people not to get a little like juiced up

953
00:47:09,040 --> 00:47:11,279
Speaker 2: in the game, be a little bit excited, have a

954
00:47:11,280 --> 00:47:13,360
Speaker 2: little bit of nerves, and it'll be kind of interesting

955
00:47:13,400 --> 00:47:15,360
Speaker 2: to see if we see that tomorrow.

956
00:47:15,400 --> 00:47:16,839
Speaker 4: And I think that could be.

957
00:47:17,080 --> 00:47:20,279
Speaker 2: I really don't think the Eagles have it, but what

958
00:47:20,320 --> 00:47:22,319
Speaker 2: I think could very well be the difference is what

959
00:47:22,360 --> 00:47:25,600
Speaker 2: the Eagles have is playoff experience, and in a game

960
00:47:25,719 --> 00:47:29,960
Speaker 2: like tomorrow, does that become the difference maker?

961
00:47:30,800 --> 00:47:31,800
Speaker 4: We shall see.

962
00:47:31,880 --> 00:47:34,560
Speaker 3: But and and we got to give the Eagles their

963
00:47:34,600 --> 00:47:38,440
Speaker 3: flowers as well. I mean, watching Saquon Barkley and Ulie

964
00:47:38,560 --> 00:47:42,279
Speaker 3: breakout touchdown run against the Rams last week and was

965
00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:48,040
Speaker 3: special too, write and very much the best offensive player.

966
00:47:48,920 --> 00:47:50,920
Speaker 3: You know, you can make an argument quarterback or not

967
00:47:51,320 --> 00:47:53,680
Speaker 3: in the league. This year he has. It's been so

968
00:47:53,760 --> 00:47:56,319
Speaker 3: fun to see what he's been able to do in

969
00:47:56,360 --> 00:48:01,480
Speaker 3: an Eagles uniform. And I think that limiting big plays

970
00:48:01,560 --> 00:48:04,000
Speaker 3: from him is going to be a key to any

971
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:05,320
Speaker 3: team success against.

972
00:48:05,080 --> 00:48:06,600
Speaker 4: The eas And it's going to be really difficult. No

973
00:48:06,640 --> 00:48:07,959
Speaker 4: one's really been able to do.

974
00:48:07,880 --> 00:48:12,600
Speaker 3: It right exactly. And their offensive line is their strength,

975
00:48:12,640 --> 00:48:15,719
Speaker 3: it's their skill points. So what it's going to be

976
00:48:15,760 --> 00:48:19,640
Speaker 3: crucial for the health and protection of Jalen Hurts as well. Yeah,

977
00:48:19,840 --> 00:48:22,920
Speaker 3: I'm interested. I know you touched upon it, but what

978
00:48:22,960 --> 00:48:26,680
Speaker 3: do you think hurts hurt percentage?

979
00:48:27,239 --> 00:48:29,200
Speaker 4: Is hurts hurt percentage? I was like, where am I

980
00:48:29,200 --> 00:48:29,560
Speaker 4: going with this?

981
00:48:29,640 --> 00:48:31,799
Speaker 3: But you know, we had to go with the play

982
00:48:31,800 --> 00:48:32,399
Speaker 3: on wards there.

983
00:48:32,600 --> 00:48:34,320
Speaker 4: I like the hurts his hurt percentage.

984
00:48:35,480 --> 00:48:40,120
Speaker 2: You know, there's players speak and there's coach speak. And

985
00:48:41,080 --> 00:48:43,680
Speaker 2: after the game he said, I'm going to play. He

986
00:48:43,760 --> 00:48:45,759
Speaker 2: was limited early in the week in practice, he was

987
00:48:45,760 --> 00:48:48,200
Speaker 2: a full participant. But I bring up the sweatpants. I

988
00:48:48,280 --> 00:48:51,719
Speaker 2: kind of joking about it, but he doesn't normally wear

989
00:48:51,800 --> 00:48:54,880
Speaker 2: sweatpants to practice, so was he covering up a knee brace.

990
00:48:55,040 --> 00:48:57,400
Speaker 4: I think he's probably hurt that.

991
00:48:57,520 --> 00:48:59,920
Speaker 2: If we were in week two or three of the season,

992
00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:03,120
Speaker 2: he was not going to be playing for a little while.

993
00:49:03,280 --> 00:49:07,680
Speaker 2: But at this point he's gonna go with it. But

994
00:49:07,680 --> 00:49:09,319
Speaker 2: they're gonna have to change their game plan. I mean,

995
00:49:09,480 --> 00:49:11,399
Speaker 2: his mobility is I think what's going to be changed.

996
00:49:11,440 --> 00:49:13,799
Speaker 2: He no longer because he has the ability, not in

997
00:49:13,840 --> 00:49:16,120
Speaker 2: the Lamar Jackson way, but he can't extend plays with

998
00:49:16,160 --> 00:49:18,680
Speaker 2: his legs. He does have that mobility, and I don't

999
00:49:18,719 --> 00:49:21,080
Speaker 2: know that he's going to have that as much.

1000
00:49:21,200 --> 00:49:22,279
Speaker 4: So we think it is going to be a lot

1001
00:49:22,320 --> 00:49:23,920
Speaker 4: on sake one and the wide receivers are going to

1002
00:49:23,960 --> 00:49:24,480
Speaker 4: have to step up.

1003
00:49:24,520 --> 00:49:26,520
Speaker 2: I mean joke about AJ Brown, but he's going to

1004
00:49:26,560 --> 00:49:28,840
Speaker 2: have to make himself a factor in this game because

1005
00:49:29,520 --> 00:49:30,880
Speaker 2: it's going to be important.

1006
00:49:31,080 --> 00:49:32,160
Speaker 4: So you could make the.

1007
00:49:32,280 --> 00:49:36,200
Speaker 3: Argument right now currently that McLaurin has the edge over

1008
00:49:36,280 --> 00:49:38,040
Speaker 3: Brown in the deceiver category.

1009
00:49:38,160 --> 00:49:38,359
Speaker 6: Right.

1010
00:49:38,400 --> 00:49:40,680
Speaker 3: I know, AJ Brown's an all time talent.

1011
00:49:40,520 --> 00:49:43,600
Speaker 2: But so is Terry McLaurin, and we've just never seen it.

1012
00:49:43,920 --> 00:49:45,560
Speaker 2: He really didn't have anybody who throw them the ball,

1013
00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:48,000
Speaker 2: and we've really seen what he could be this year.

1014
00:49:48,320 --> 00:49:51,040
Speaker 2: I think he's just as talented and will end up

1015
00:49:51,480 --> 00:49:54,560
Speaker 2: with a really tremendous career, much like AJ Brown, because

1016
00:49:54,600 --> 00:49:56,359
Speaker 2: now he has a guy to throw them the ball.

1017
00:49:56,400 --> 00:50:00,120
Speaker 2: I mean, he's been through what five six different quarterbacks

1018
00:50:00,160 --> 00:50:00,640
Speaker 2: he's been there.

1019
00:50:00,640 --> 00:50:02,239
Speaker 4: That's just bananas.

1020
00:50:02,320 --> 00:50:05,440
Speaker 3: And I know we we've gone on and on about

1021
00:50:06,480 --> 00:50:11,720
Speaker 3: you know, Jaden, Jaden, Jalen. You know it's it's Jayden.

1022
00:50:12,120 --> 00:50:15,640
Speaker 3: We've gone on and on about Jaden and his composure.

1023
00:50:15,760 --> 00:50:18,000
Speaker 3: But he's going to be without a key member of

1024
00:50:18,040 --> 00:50:23,440
Speaker 3: his offensive line, and true, does that concern you at

1025
00:50:23,480 --> 00:50:27,399
Speaker 3: all when you have the likes of Jalen Carter coming

1026
00:50:27,440 --> 00:50:30,120
Speaker 3: down your throat, Because that's a bad, bad man, one

1027
00:50:30,200 --> 00:50:30,960
Speaker 3: hundred percent.

1028
00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:34,880
Speaker 2: And I think the offensive line is often the unsung

1029
00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:39,719
Speaker 2: hero or goat of an offense and the importance of

1030
00:50:39,760 --> 00:50:43,760
Speaker 2: them cannot be overstated. And so that is a concern.

1031
00:50:44,200 --> 00:50:46,759
Speaker 2: And how he adjusts that, and how how they adjust that.

1032
00:50:46,760 --> 00:50:49,920
Speaker 2: I mean think with the commanders, what's surprising to people

1033
00:50:50,480 --> 00:50:53,320
Speaker 2: is there was the feeling they were going to be better,

1034
00:50:53,440 --> 00:50:56,200
Speaker 2: that they were rebuilding, they were turning this organization around.

1035
00:50:56,880 --> 00:51:00,239
Speaker 2: What's surprising is just how good they've been. But what

1036
00:51:00,320 --> 00:51:03,359
Speaker 2: I think they probably don't have that the Eagles do

1037
00:51:03,560 --> 00:51:06,719
Speaker 2: have is the same amount of depth and depth of

1038
00:51:06,800 --> 00:51:09,200
Speaker 2: positions where you can go from one to two and

1039
00:51:09,280 --> 00:51:11,879
Speaker 2: it's not as big as jump because you would think.

1040
00:51:12,360 --> 00:51:13,799
Speaker 2: I don't think that's going to be the case. They're

1041
00:51:13,840 --> 00:51:17,520
Speaker 2: offensive line and so that for sure could be a factor.

1042
00:51:17,680 --> 00:51:20,160
Speaker 2: And you know what, maybe the Eagles they really turn

1043
00:51:20,200 --> 00:51:21,520
Speaker 2: it on to Herrow. Maybe they're listening to this and

1044
00:51:21,520 --> 00:51:23,200
Speaker 2: they're like, she is wrong. We've got it and we

1045
00:51:23,239 --> 00:51:24,759
Speaker 2: are going to go. And if you guys are, then

1046
00:51:24,800 --> 00:51:27,960
Speaker 2: good for you. But I just think I haven't been

1047
00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:32,799
Speaker 2: that impressed so far. But tomorrow's the NFC Championship game

1048
00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:34,960
Speaker 2: and they're going against the division rival and they are

1049
00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:38,120
Speaker 2: at home for a chance of Super Bowl. And if

1050
00:51:38,120 --> 00:51:39,840
Speaker 2: you're going to turn it on, that is when you

1051
00:51:39,960 --> 00:51:42,920
Speaker 2: turn it on. And so I think you make a

1052
00:51:42,960 --> 00:51:45,759
Speaker 2: really good point there with the offensive line and the

1053
00:51:45,800 --> 00:51:47,400
Speaker 2: Eagles defense. And I think the same when we were

1054
00:51:47,400 --> 00:51:49,080
Speaker 2: talking about the other game, we talked so much about

1055
00:51:49,080 --> 00:51:52,200
Speaker 2: the offense. These defenses are huge, and the reason I

1056
00:51:52,200 --> 00:51:53,880
Speaker 2: thought the Commanders were going to lose last week is

1057
00:51:53,880 --> 00:51:56,279
Speaker 2: because I didn't think their defense was really up to

1058
00:51:56,320 --> 00:51:56,960
Speaker 2: the juggernaut.

1059
00:51:57,040 --> 00:51:58,760
Speaker 4: That was the Detroit offense.

1060
00:51:59,600 --> 00:52:02,120
Speaker 2: They did manage very well and they got helped with

1061
00:52:02,440 --> 00:52:07,000
Speaker 2: five turnovers, but or five interceptions. But can they stop

1062
00:52:07,680 --> 00:52:10,200
Speaker 2: this offense and the Jalen Hurt I mean the Saquon

1063
00:52:10,360 --> 00:52:14,080
Speaker 2: Barkley factor, right is they haven't seen anybody like that yet,

1064
00:52:14,640 --> 00:52:18,000
Speaker 2: and he's almost impossible to stop. It's almost like you

1065
00:52:18,080 --> 00:52:21,120
Speaker 2: have to plan for him to rush for well over.

1066
00:52:20,920 --> 00:52:22,560
Speaker 4: One hundred yards one hundred and fifty.

1067
00:52:22,320 --> 00:52:24,640
Speaker 3: Just to count it, count.

1068
00:52:23,920 --> 00:52:25,600
Speaker 4: It, and then what do you do around him?

1069
00:52:25,920 --> 00:52:26,120
Speaker 8: Right?

1070
00:52:26,200 --> 00:52:31,400
Speaker 3: And the Eagles have to stick to what has gotten

1071
00:52:31,440 --> 00:52:34,680
Speaker 3: them to this point. They're tough, physical run game obviously

1072
00:52:34,719 --> 00:52:37,680
Speaker 3: carried on the back of Saquon Barkley and that offensive line.

1073
00:52:38,280 --> 00:52:41,480
Speaker 3: But control what you can control, and this is your identity,

1074
00:52:41,640 --> 00:52:45,000
Speaker 3: lean into it. Don't test the health of Jalen Hurts

1075
00:52:45,040 --> 00:52:50,920
Speaker 3: anymore than you need to, you know, just just run

1076
00:52:51,239 --> 00:52:55,040
Speaker 3: run the dang ball right right, And I think if

1077
00:52:55,040 --> 00:53:00,440
Speaker 3: you're the commanders, right you tell your rookie quarterback to

1078
00:53:00,520 --> 00:53:04,920
Speaker 3: be dead. He's got to be deadly accurate against man coverage.

1079
00:53:05,360 --> 00:53:07,120
Speaker 3: And when it comes to his own coverage that.

1080
00:53:07,000 --> 00:53:09,360
Speaker 4: The Eagles are no doubt going to present, he.

1081
00:53:09,239 --> 00:53:12,759
Speaker 3: Needs to be patient, yes, and that is where you

1082
00:53:12,800 --> 00:53:17,040
Speaker 3: know the Eagles defense it can be a mighty, mighty

1083
00:53:17,360 --> 00:53:21,320
Speaker 3: threat because if they can pressure him into making rookie

1084
00:53:21,360 --> 00:53:25,359
Speaker 3: mistakes in that high pressure situation, then they've got this

1085
00:53:25,400 --> 00:53:26,240
Speaker 3: one in the wraps.

1086
00:53:26,440 --> 00:53:29,239
Speaker 2: And patience is such a fine line because you do

1087
00:53:29,320 --> 00:53:31,880
Speaker 2: want to be patient, but you can't be too patient

1088
00:53:31,880 --> 00:53:33,359
Speaker 2: and take a sack right to make up a stake.

1089
00:53:33,440 --> 00:53:36,000
Speaker 4: So that is going to be, you know, a really

1090
00:53:36,000 --> 00:53:36,359
Speaker 4: big one.

1091
00:53:36,400 --> 00:53:40,160
Speaker 2: It's going to be fun Jalen versus Jayden, As you said,

1092
00:53:40,200 --> 00:53:41,920
Speaker 2: I think. I just think it's going to be a

1093
00:53:41,960 --> 00:53:44,719
Speaker 2: really fun game. These Commanders are a fun team. I

1094
00:53:44,719 --> 00:53:46,279
Speaker 2: think it's going to be a close game. Both of

1095
00:53:46,320 --> 00:53:48,239
Speaker 2: these games tomorrow, I really do believe are going to

1096
00:53:48,280 --> 00:53:49,120
Speaker 2: be very close games.

1097
00:53:49,200 --> 00:53:54,439
Speaker 3: What's the belief like in the Commander's front office? I mean,

1098
00:53:54,680 --> 00:54:00,080
Speaker 3: with what they inherited from last season to how they

1099
00:54:00,239 --> 00:54:03,839
Speaker 3: built this this year. I mean, did they see an

1100
00:54:03,920 --> 00:54:08,000
Speaker 3: NFC championship game in on the horizon? What's the belief?

1101
00:54:08,760 --> 00:54:10,000
Speaker 4: I don't know.

1102
00:54:10,360 --> 00:54:13,520
Speaker 2: I would say probably because they have to, but I

1103
00:54:13,560 --> 00:54:16,399
Speaker 2: will say this, they hired a general manager, a star

1104
00:54:16,560 --> 00:54:18,640
Speaker 2: in the NFL, and Adam Peters. He knows how to

1105
00:54:18,640 --> 00:54:20,520
Speaker 2: build a roster. He was in San Francisco a long time.

1106
00:54:20,560 --> 00:54:22,920
Speaker 2: He was the right hand guy, the key. He is

1107
00:54:23,400 --> 00:54:26,239
Speaker 2: the man. He hired a coach that I'm sorry, as

1108
00:54:26,280 --> 00:54:27,839
Speaker 2: the kids would say, he is him.

1109
00:54:28,200 --> 00:54:31,800
Speaker 4: They hire him. Yeah, I don't really. We got riz

1110
00:54:31,920 --> 00:54:34,160
Speaker 4: we have Aura har Yeah, we got Rizz. We got Aura,

1111
00:54:34,239 --> 00:54:35,280
Speaker 4: we got all of the things.

1112
00:54:35,520 --> 00:54:38,680
Speaker 2: They hired a head coach who also also kind of

1113
00:54:38,719 --> 00:54:40,520
Speaker 2: has an aura, a different kind of one butt or

1114
00:54:40,560 --> 00:54:43,600
Speaker 2: a hymn. So they built this team. They believed in

1115
00:54:43,680 --> 00:54:45,560
Speaker 2: Jade and Daniels. He was something that really hasn't been

1116
00:54:45,560 --> 00:54:48,759
Speaker 2: brought up that much. Was during the draft process. Do

1117
00:54:48,800 --> 00:54:51,759
Speaker 2: you remember they had all the quarterbacks meet and Jade

1118
00:54:51,760 --> 00:54:53,160
Speaker 2: and Daniels didn't want to be a part of it.

1119
00:54:53,200 --> 00:54:55,440
Speaker 2: And there was all this like little scuttle butt like,

1120
00:54:55,520 --> 00:54:57,520
Speaker 2: oh is Jade and Daniels a diva?

1121
00:54:57,600 --> 00:54:58,800
Speaker 4: Is he not a team player?

1122
00:54:58,800 --> 00:55:01,000
Speaker 2: And all that they believe in him, And they were

1123
00:55:01,080 --> 00:55:04,080
Speaker 2: certainly right, and they were smart how they built this team.

1124
00:55:04,120 --> 00:55:06,640
Speaker 2: They've got a young defense, but they also plugged in

1125
00:55:06,719 --> 00:55:09,640
Speaker 2: some veterans who've been in the league a while who

1126
00:55:09,640 --> 00:55:11,840
Speaker 2: can teach those guys who still know how to play.

1127
00:55:11,880 --> 00:55:16,000
Speaker 2: So I don't know if they thought NFC Championship game when.

1128
00:55:15,880 --> 00:55:16,640
Speaker 4: This team started.

1129
00:55:16,880 --> 00:55:19,480
Speaker 2: But I do think is the season went on, especially

1130
00:55:19,480 --> 00:55:22,120
Speaker 2: after that Bears game, which really just turned everything around

1131
00:55:22,160 --> 00:55:23,839
Speaker 2: them all of a sudden, it was.

1132
00:55:23,880 --> 00:55:26,840
Speaker 4: Like, okay, maybe, yeah, maybe we can do this.

1133
00:55:27,360 --> 00:55:31,359
Speaker 3: And we've talked a lot about the position edges, right,

1134
00:55:31,440 --> 00:55:37,280
Speaker 3: who has the edge advantage in position by position coaching advantage?

1135
00:55:37,600 --> 00:55:39,880
Speaker 3: Do you give the edge to Quinn or Sirianni?

1136
00:55:40,080 --> 00:55:43,080
Speaker 4: Quinn? And I didn't even have to think about it. Why.

1137
00:55:46,200 --> 00:55:52,320
Speaker 2: I don't know if I buy Sirianni.

1138
00:55:52,719 --> 00:55:55,359
Speaker 4: Okay, I don't know that. I'm I'm all in. And

1139
00:55:55,440 --> 00:55:59,360
Speaker 4: I think Quinn. Your window shopping was sirian window shopping,

1140
00:55:59,520 --> 00:55:59,879
Speaker 4: and you're.

1141
00:55:59,840 --> 00:56:02,600
Speaker 2: Like, okay, Like maybe I would think about it with Quinn.

1142
00:56:03,239 --> 00:56:05,600
Speaker 4: Quinn's been through some stuff, right, He's learned a lot.

1143
00:56:05,640 --> 00:56:09,600
Speaker 2: We talked about early about playoff experience, but the coaches too, now, Nick, Siriann,

1144
00:56:09,600 --> 00:56:12,160
Speaker 2: He's been through playoffs, he's had playoff experience, he's lost

1145
00:56:12,200 --> 00:56:15,560
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl, he's, you know what, an NFC championship game.

1146
00:56:15,960 --> 00:56:18,520
Speaker 2: But I don't know, I feel like Quinn has been

1147
00:56:18,560 --> 00:56:19,640
Speaker 2: through more in a way.

1148
00:56:19,719 --> 00:56:21,759
Speaker 3: He just went and out coach the other Dan. He

1149
00:56:21,880 --> 00:56:24,400
Speaker 3: everywhere giving flowers too for the past.

1150
00:56:24,200 --> 00:56:26,960
Speaker 2: Twelve Sure day he did out coach him. And I

1151
00:56:27,000 --> 00:56:30,440
Speaker 2: don't know, I give the coaching advantage to down dan Quinn.

1152
00:56:30,440 --> 00:56:32,879
Speaker 2: It might be negligible and it might be an any

1153
00:56:32,920 --> 00:56:36,000
Speaker 2: given Sunday kind of thing, but I give the coaching

1154
00:56:36,040 --> 00:56:40,080
Speaker 2: advantage to dan Quinn on this one. So before we

1155
00:56:40,160 --> 00:56:41,759
Speaker 2: go to break for a minute, who you got in

1156
00:56:41,800 --> 00:56:42,080
Speaker 2: the game?

1157
00:56:42,960 --> 00:56:46,040
Speaker 3: You know what, I love a team of destiny and

1158
00:56:46,120 --> 00:56:48,560
Speaker 3: I'm drinking the kool aid. Give me all the razzle

1159
00:56:48,640 --> 00:56:55,280
Speaker 3: dazzle from the Commanders. I'm gonna say, Commanders twenty seven,

1160
00:56:56,520 --> 00:56:57,719
Speaker 3: Eagles twenty three.

1161
00:56:58,160 --> 00:56:59,799
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna pick the Commanders because I'm really bad

1162
00:56:59,840 --> 00:57:00,880
Speaker 2: as score predictions.

1163
00:57:01,080 --> 00:57:03,400
Speaker 4: Bo's a pretty bad. That was a pretty off the cuff.

1164
00:57:03,480 --> 00:57:04,080
Speaker 1: I like show.

1165
00:57:04,200 --> 00:57:04,759
Speaker 4: I like thank you.

1166
00:57:04,840 --> 00:57:07,239
Speaker 2: I mean we'll be watching tomorrow and seeing if you're right.

00:57:07,280 --> 00:57:10,439
Speaker 2: Everybody tweet it Nikki if she is. But next up,

00:57:45,600 --> 00:57:48,040
Speaker 2: We're gonna make a little transition from football for a minute,

1181
00:57:48,080 --> 00:57:51,080
Speaker 2: not for too long, but to the NBA. We are

1182
00:57:51,120 --> 00:57:52,560
Speaker 2: going to start with Jimmy Butler.

1183
00:57:52,960 --> 00:57:54,000
Speaker 4: What are you doing?

1184
00:57:54,200 --> 00:57:56,080
Speaker 3: What is you doing? Jimmy Butler.

1185
00:57:56,160 --> 00:57:56,720
Speaker 4: Here's the thing.

1186
00:57:57,600 --> 00:58:02,720
Speaker 3: I love NBA trade deadline drama and to add to

1187
00:58:02,880 --> 00:58:07,000
Speaker 3: this year's installment of the soap opera and by the way,

1188
00:58:07,040 --> 00:58:09,960
Speaker 3: the trade deadline. It's February sixth, right in time for

1189
00:58:10,200 --> 00:58:15,120
Speaker 3: Super Bowl build up. Jimmy Butler has gone and gone

1190
00:58:15,160 --> 00:58:18,720
Speaker 3: and started acting up again in terms of let's just

1191
00:58:19,160 --> 00:58:22,040
Speaker 3: let's just paint the picture now. Jimmy Butler does not

1192
00:58:22,120 --> 00:58:25,040
Speaker 3: want to be in Miami. Miami, I think is out

1193
00:58:25,080 --> 00:58:28,640
Speaker 3: of the Jimmy Butler business. So we really started to

1194
00:58:28,680 --> 00:58:33,080
Speaker 3: see this all percolate when the team announced a seven

1195
00:58:33,120 --> 00:58:37,600
Speaker 3: game suspension for Jimmy Butler for conduct detrimental.

1196
00:58:36,920 --> 00:58:37,800
Speaker 4: To the team.

1197
00:58:38,160 --> 00:58:42,280
Speaker 3: It's very rare you see that coming internally about one

1198
00:58:42,280 --> 00:58:43,480
Speaker 3: of your own stars.

1199
00:58:43,840 --> 00:58:46,480
Speaker 4: It seems rare in the NBA, it seems in the NFL.

1200
00:58:46,560 --> 00:58:49,760
Speaker 3: But the NBA r right. And then another two games

1201
00:58:49,800 --> 00:58:53,400
Speaker 3: were announced, and basically at the start of the season,

1202
00:58:53,600 --> 00:58:56,520
Speaker 3: you know, we see pat Riley with the Heat come

1203
00:58:56,560 --> 00:58:59,360
Speaker 3: out and say we're not trading Jimmy Butler, you know,

1204
00:58:59,440 --> 00:59:01,800
Speaker 3: kind of grand standing on that point. And then the

1205
00:59:01,920 --> 00:59:06,480
Speaker 3: situation has devolved to such toxicity that now he's being suspended.

1206
00:59:06,720 --> 00:59:11,680
Speaker 3: Pat Riley's searching for appropriate trade landing spots for Jimmy,

1207
00:59:11,760 --> 00:59:14,560
Speaker 3: who has come out and said Phoenix is the place

1208
00:59:14,600 --> 00:59:16,400
Speaker 3: I gotta go. But now that list seems to be

1209
00:59:16,480 --> 00:59:20,640
Speaker 3: expanding as the situation has continued to get hotter and

1210
00:59:20,760 --> 00:59:22,360
Speaker 3: hotter within the Heat.

1211
00:59:22,680 --> 00:59:24,680
Speaker 4: So it's well done, said I did there, Rua.

1212
00:59:25,280 --> 00:59:30,200
Speaker 3: And I know Jimmy in the sense that he likes

1213
00:59:30,320 --> 00:59:35,440
Speaker 3: to spark conversations in whatever way he can. For example,

1214
00:59:35,480 --> 00:59:38,440
Speaker 3: over the summer, he was seeing courtside at a Laker

1215
00:59:38,640 --> 00:59:42,080
Speaker 3: at a Sparks game talking about one of the Sparks

1216
00:59:42,120 --> 00:59:45,200
Speaker 3: players but saying twenty two would look good in purple

1217
00:59:45,240 --> 00:59:49,040
Speaker 3: and gold. Who wears number twenty two. Jimmy Butler. He's

1218
00:59:49,120 --> 00:59:52,520
Speaker 3: talking about the Sparks, but he's also hinting at maybe

1219
00:59:52,520 --> 00:59:54,560
Speaker 3: playing with the Lakers. He likes to stir the pot

1220
00:59:54,600 --> 00:59:56,320
Speaker 3: and it's entertaining, as I'll get out.

1221
00:59:56,680 --> 00:59:59,000
Speaker 4: But Jimmy Butler, what is you doing?

1222
01:00:00,520 --> 01:00:03,240
Speaker 2: Is there ever more of a chance that someone is

1223
01:00:03,280 --> 01:00:06,520
Speaker 2: going to get traded than when someone says, we are

1224
01:00:06,560 --> 01:00:10,479
Speaker 2: not trading Jimmy Butler, we are behind our coach one

1225
01:00:10,560 --> 01:00:11,320
Speaker 2: hundred percent.

1226
01:00:11,400 --> 01:00:13,920
Speaker 4: We believe in him, our GM has been fantastic.

1227
01:00:13,960 --> 01:00:15,920
Speaker 2: Is there ever more of a sign that whatever they

1228
01:00:16,000 --> 01:00:17,840
Speaker 2: just said isn't going to happen is going to happen.

1229
01:00:17,960 --> 01:00:22,320
Speaker 3: It's like kind of one of those toxic relationships where

1230
01:00:22,600 --> 01:00:25,760
Speaker 3: someone says, oh, I would never cheat on you, and

1231
01:00:26,120 --> 01:00:29,240
Speaker 3: it's the exact opposite. The fact that you even have

1232
01:00:29,320 --> 01:00:33,360
Speaker 3: to say that is like, what like, oh, we're never

1233
01:00:33,400 --> 01:00:37,600
Speaker 3: trading him? Okay? That means you know, it's and each

1234
01:00:37,680 --> 01:00:41,400
Speaker 3: person has their own incentive in putting out those statements, right,

1235
01:00:41,800 --> 01:00:45,320
Speaker 3: but I do feel all to tie that into the relationship, right,

1236
01:00:45,440 --> 01:00:51,320
Speaker 3: Like we're watching a cohabitation dissolve right now, right it's

1237
01:00:51,360 --> 01:00:55,160
Speaker 3: a boyfriend girlfriend living situation and now they need to

1238
01:00:55,240 --> 01:00:59,560
Speaker 3: find other living arrangements immediately, right.

1239
01:00:59,560 --> 01:01:01,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's a good way to put at

1240
01:01:01,840 --> 01:01:05,360
Speaker 2: The NBA isn't a very interesting place right now, and

1241
01:01:05,400 --> 01:01:07,760
Speaker 2: it'll be kind of interesting to see how this evolves.

1242
01:01:07,760 --> 01:01:10,000
Speaker 2: We saw kind of the NFL on Christmas take that

1243
01:01:10,160 --> 01:01:13,560
Speaker 2: over and changes to the All Star Game. It's at

1244
01:01:13,560 --> 01:01:15,280
Speaker 2: a crossroads, I would say. I would say it's at

1245
01:01:15,320 --> 01:01:16,440
Speaker 2: a crossroads, right.

1246
01:01:16,520 --> 01:01:18,840
Speaker 3: I think this is a little bit of a cross

1247
01:01:18,880 --> 01:01:22,240
Speaker 3: The NFL is reigning supreme, it sure is, but we

1248
01:01:22,280 --> 01:01:24,240
Speaker 3: do love the drama and that's why we're talking about

1249

1260
01:01:56,040 --> 01:01:59,920
Speaker 6: passing Carl Anthony Towns. He made three of his eight attempts.

1261
01:02:00,240 --> 01:02:03,800

1262
01:02:03,920 --> 01:02:06,800

1282
01:03:07,360 --> 01:03:09,080
Speaker 6: or playing in the game or anything like that. He's

1289
01:03:27,760 --> 01:03:29,800
Speaker 2: We are coming to you live from the tyraq dot

1290
01:03:29,840 --> 01:03:33,200
Speaker 2: com studios and we are very excited to welcome Nicki

1291
01:03:33,240 --> 01:03:37,240
Speaker 2: Javala from the Washington Post. She covers the Commanders, who

1292
01:03:37,520 --> 01:03:40,040
Speaker 2: Nicki and I, Nicki, Kay and I have been waxing

1293
01:03:40,120 --> 01:03:42,560
Speaker 2: poetic on Nicki. Welcome to the show.

1294
01:03:43,600 --> 01:03:44,440
Speaker 8: Thanks for having me.

1295
01:03:44,920 --> 01:03:47,920
Speaker 2: Absolutely, let's dive right into this game.

1296
01:03:48,720 --> 01:03:50,600
Speaker 4: I mean, did you when the season.

1297
01:03:50,280 --> 01:03:52,919
Speaker 2: Started feel like, yeah, they're going to turn this team

1298
01:03:52,920 --> 01:03:54,640
Speaker 2: around to a point that I'll be covering the NFC

1299
01:03:54,720 --> 01:03:55,560
Speaker 2: Championship game.

1300
01:03:56,960 --> 01:04:00,720
Speaker 8: I wish I could say yeah I knew this all. No,

1301
01:04:01,360 --> 01:04:05,800
Speaker 8: absolutely not. I thought they would maybe win eight games

1302
01:04:05,800 --> 01:04:10,480
Speaker 8: this season, just you know, having a rookie quarterback. They

1303
01:04:11,320 --> 01:04:15,560
Speaker 8: brought in like sixty of the roster's totally new new GM,

1304
01:04:15,720 --> 01:04:17,680
Speaker 8: new coach suff I thought they might need a little

1305
01:04:17,720 --> 01:04:21,600
Speaker 8: bit of time out. They don't. No, it's so here

1306
01:04:21,640 --> 01:04:22,000
Speaker 8: we are.

1307
01:04:22,160 --> 01:04:24,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, it seems they really, they really do not.

1308
01:04:24,480 --> 01:04:27,000
Speaker 2: And what does it say kind of about this front

1309
01:04:27,000 --> 01:04:29,640
Speaker 2: office the way they felt about Jade and Daniels from

1310
01:04:29,680 --> 01:04:33,080
Speaker 2: the beginning dan Quinn, you know, taking over coaching this

1311
01:04:33,200 --> 01:04:35,800
Speaker 2: team to get them here could have such a difference

1312
01:04:35,840 --> 01:04:37,120
Speaker 2: from last.

1313
01:04:36,880 --> 01:04:38,400
Speaker 4: Year and the year before.

1314
01:04:38,560 --> 01:04:40,880
Speaker 2: But kind of what does it say about the team

1315
01:04:41,360 --> 01:04:43,640
Speaker 2: they've put together outside the team if that makes sense?

1316
01:04:44,600 --> 01:04:47,680
Speaker 8: Yeah, No, it's I mean, it's such a different from

1317
01:04:47,720 --> 01:04:52,360
Speaker 8: different from the last three decades early, But yeah, I

1318
01:04:52,360 --> 01:04:54,680
Speaker 8: think I think the biggest piece of it is obviously

1319
01:04:54,760 --> 01:04:58,000
Speaker 8: Jayden Daniels. Having an elite quarterback in this league just

1320
01:04:58,080 --> 01:05:02,600
Speaker 8: feels paramount anymore. You could probably go, you know, pretty

1321
01:05:02,600 --> 01:05:05,360
Speaker 8: far with a very good quarterback, but to go this way,

1322
01:05:05,360 --> 01:05:08,160
Speaker 8: I feel like you need an elite one. And he's

1323
01:05:08,600 --> 01:05:12,400
Speaker 8: going to be elite in year one. I mean, not

1324
01:05:12,560 --> 01:05:14,880
Speaker 8: perfect by any switch, but to be to be doing

1325
01:05:14,920 --> 01:05:19,120
Speaker 8: what he's doing as a rookie is remarkable. And then

1326
01:05:19,160 --> 01:05:21,040
Speaker 8: and they put the right pieces around him, I think

1327
01:05:21,040 --> 01:05:24,600
Speaker 8: got him. Peter's well regarded for his personnel decisions. He's

1328
01:05:24,640 --> 01:05:28,080
Speaker 8: brought in a lot of guys that I think we're

1329
01:05:28,520 --> 01:05:30,840
Speaker 8: less heralded or guys that have been passed up or

1330
01:05:31,000 --> 01:05:35,120
Speaker 8: viewed as washed up. And they've really been a perfect

1331
01:05:35,120 --> 01:05:39,400
Speaker 8: blend of veteran and rookie talent and guys that can

1332
01:05:39,600 --> 01:05:44,160
Speaker 8: mentor the younger players, the guys that can also step in,

1333
01:05:45,120 --> 01:05:47,560
Speaker 8: you know on Mama Sodis like Marcus Mariota has been

1334
01:05:47,920 --> 01:05:52,880
Speaker 8: a big help to Jaden and Coasquin. I feel like

1335
01:05:52,920 --> 01:05:57,280
Speaker 8: he's he's that perfect mentality. He knows how to motivate players,

1336
01:05:57,280 --> 01:05:59,800
Speaker 8: but he also knows how to build the right staff,

1337
01:05:59,840 --> 01:06:02,160
Speaker 8: and that was a lot of what was missing in

1338
01:06:02,280 --> 01:06:05,360
Speaker 8: Washington is having that stuff that you know, it's both

1339
01:06:05,680 --> 01:06:08,720
Speaker 8: X's and those guys, but you know also knows how

1340
01:06:08,760 --> 01:06:11,520
Speaker 8: to develop and motivate. I think there's a psychology the

1341
01:06:11,600 --> 01:06:15,960
Speaker 8: coaching that can often get overlooked, and Quinn has mastered it.

1342
01:06:16,080 --> 01:06:18,560
Speaker 8: So their role and it's fun to watch.

1343
01:06:19,760 --> 01:06:22,720
Speaker 3: Hey, Nikki, it's the other Nikki. Pleasure to each chat

1344
01:06:22,760 --> 01:06:25,160
Speaker 3: and great name, Love your name.

1345
01:06:25,040 --> 01:06:28,200
Speaker 2: Girl, I said, working with Nikki today, that's all I do.

1346
01:06:29,880 --> 01:06:34,200
Speaker 3: So here's the thing. It's been so fun watching Jade

1347
01:06:34,200 --> 01:06:39,200
Speaker 3: and Daniels from Afar and the way it seems that

1348
01:06:39,480 --> 01:06:42,560
Speaker 3: his self belief has become kind of infectious on this

1349
01:06:42,680 --> 01:06:45,360
Speaker 3: team that has you know, you can say it's overachieving

1350
01:06:45,480 --> 01:06:50,040
Speaker 3: or you can say it's they're really rallying to achieve

1351
01:06:50,120 --> 01:06:54,400
Speaker 3: something that nobody saw them capable of. And I guess,

1352
01:06:54,640 --> 01:06:57,680
Speaker 3: just point blank, in your experience being around the team

1353
01:06:57,720 --> 01:07:01,040
Speaker 3: covering Jayden, does he have an like what is it

1354
01:07:01,080 --> 01:07:03,000
Speaker 3: about him?

1355
01:07:03,280 --> 01:07:06,000
Speaker 8: Yeah, he's he's really unique. I mean he's he's one

1356
01:07:06,000 --> 01:07:08,200
Speaker 8: of the most self aware twenty four year olds I've

1357
01:07:08,240 --> 01:07:11,400
Speaker 8: ever been around in my life, whether athlete or non athlete.

1358
01:07:11,480 --> 01:07:16,080
Speaker 8: Like he understands that's sort of his place. He respects

1359
01:07:16,160 --> 01:07:18,800
Speaker 8: the veteran players, he can get along with everybody in

1360
01:07:18,800 --> 01:07:22,800
Speaker 8: the locker room. He understands the legacy of Doug Williams.

1361
01:07:22,840 --> 01:07:26,320
Speaker 8: And you know, he goes out and explorts DC without

1362
01:07:26,960 --> 01:07:31,240
Speaker 8: you know, creating any distractions. Like he's embraced the city.

1363
01:07:31,280 --> 01:07:35,880
Speaker 8: He knows. He just feels like he's inself and that

1364
01:07:36,040 --> 01:07:38,960
Speaker 8: authenticity I think rubs off a lot, and and the

1365
01:07:39,000 --> 01:07:41,320
Speaker 8: fact that he's he looks like he's having so much

1366
01:07:41,360 --> 01:07:45,320
Speaker 8: fun out there. I think sometimes he gets lost how

1367
01:07:46,920 --> 01:07:49,880
Speaker 8: how fun it is to watch pro athletes really enjoying

1368
01:07:49,920 --> 01:07:52,880
Speaker 8: themselves when out there, because he genuinely loves it. I

1369
01:07:52,920 --> 01:07:56,120
Speaker 8: mean he's smiling after getting crushed on a hit. I

1370
01:07:56,160 --> 01:07:59,720
Speaker 8: mean he's when guys are bickering at midfield, he's talking

1371
01:07:59,720 --> 01:08:02,800
Speaker 8: about posing DB's, you know, just asking how they are.

1372
01:08:03,040 --> 01:08:03,080
Speaker 2: Like.

1373
01:08:03,360 --> 01:08:05,400
Speaker 8: He just loves the game, and I think that comes off.

1374
01:08:06,040 --> 01:08:09,200
Speaker 8: And then I think there's also the poise. He never

1375
01:08:09,320 --> 01:08:14,000
Speaker 8: gets rattled, which is remarkable. You don't do that many veterans.

1376
01:08:15,520 --> 01:08:22,000
Speaker 8: He's just always even keeled, he's poised, you know, close games,

1377
01:08:22,080 --> 01:08:25,360
Speaker 8: in the last drives, final two minutes. He's the same

1378
01:08:25,439 --> 01:08:27,840
Speaker 8: guy no matter what. And that's what you need to

1379
01:08:27,840 --> 01:08:28,559
Speaker 8: play this position.

1380
01:08:29,640 --> 01:08:32,639
Speaker 2: Someone else who looks like he's having a really good time. Finally,

1381
01:08:32,840 --> 01:08:35,519
Speaker 2: is why receiver Terry McLaurin and what has it been

1382
01:08:35,640 --> 01:08:37,400
Speaker 2: like kind of de see. I don't think ascensions the

1383
01:08:37,479 --> 01:08:40,040
Speaker 2: right word, because we always knew how talented he was,

1384
01:08:40,160 --> 01:08:42,600
Speaker 2: but to have the kind of season he's having and

1385
01:08:42,720 --> 01:08:44,839
Speaker 2: it feels like football is fun for him again.

1386
01:08:44,680 --> 01:08:47,640
Speaker 8: Too, yeah, I think there was probably a lot of

1387
01:08:48,240 --> 01:08:52,439
Speaker 8: print up frustration knowing he could have more production, he

1388
01:08:52,520 --> 01:08:55,960
Speaker 8: could impact games more than he was able to because

1389
01:08:56,040 --> 01:08:59,120
Speaker 8: of you know, the quarterback position, and you know the

1390
01:08:59,840 --> 01:09:02,439
Speaker 8: since he's across the rocks for the coaching staff. Even

1391
01:09:03,200 --> 01:09:07,280
Speaker 8: so you can sense like like both a relief but

1392
01:09:07,439 --> 01:09:11,720
Speaker 8: also a pure joy of just having a quarterback that

1393
01:09:12,560 --> 01:09:15,559
Speaker 8: you can get him the ball and knows what he's doing.

1394
01:09:15,760 --> 01:09:18,040
Speaker 8: So yeah, Terry is one of the happiest people in

1395
01:09:18,080 --> 01:09:19,120
Speaker 8: the offer room these days.

1396
01:09:19,960 --> 01:09:24,280
Speaker 4: And Nikki, this is another woo woo energy question.

1397
01:09:24,600 --> 01:09:29,360
Speaker 3: But I mean you talked about the personnel changes within

1398
01:09:29,479 --> 01:09:33,400
Speaker 3: this franchise, but how has the energy shifted in.

1399
01:09:33,520 --> 01:09:36,679
Speaker 4: Terms of like, is there a levity, is there a focus?

1400
01:09:36,960 --> 01:09:38,800
Speaker 4: Is there a self.

1401
01:09:38,600 --> 01:09:43,320
Speaker 3: Belief you know that hasn't been associated with the Washington

1402
01:09:43,520 --> 01:09:46,800
Speaker 3: Commander's football brand for the past you know, I guess

1403
01:09:46,880 --> 01:09:48,479
Speaker 3: thirty three years at this point.

1404
01:09:49,600 --> 01:09:52,640
Speaker 8: Yeah. No, absolutely. I feel like for much of the

1405
01:09:52,760 --> 01:09:55,960
Speaker 8: century when Dan Center was the owner, there was just

1406
01:09:56,080 --> 01:09:59,360
Speaker 8: like a black cloud above the franchise, even when they

1407
01:09:59,439 --> 01:10:02,840
Speaker 8: had you know, the sweeting good moments, you know, win

1408
01:10:02,960 --> 01:10:06,160
Speaker 8: streaks or a good season here and there. I feel

1409
01:10:06,160 --> 01:10:07,880
Speaker 8: like so many people were just waiting for the bottom

1410
01:10:07,960 --> 01:10:10,160
Speaker 8: to fall out, like this is nice, but it'll get

1411
01:10:10,200 --> 01:10:15,760
Speaker 8: bad again. You know, They've cycled through dozens of quarterbacks,

1412
01:10:16,080 --> 01:10:19,800
Speaker 8: had yet to find a true franchise star. So it

1413
01:10:19,920 --> 01:10:22,040
Speaker 8: just it felt where it felt like where a lot

1414
01:10:22,080 --> 01:10:24,920
Speaker 8: of careers went to die, frankly, and like so many

1415
01:10:24,960 --> 01:10:27,200
Speaker 8: good players would end up there and you just didn't

1416
01:10:27,280 --> 01:10:30,840
Speaker 8: hear about them thereafter. But now there's like a real

1417
01:10:30,960 --> 01:10:36,080
Speaker 8: sense of belief and confidence and fun around football again.

1418
01:10:36,240 --> 01:10:37,840
Speaker 8: And this is this is a franchise that used to

1419
01:10:37,840 --> 01:10:41,000
Speaker 8: be one of the market franchises in the NFL, you know,

1420
01:10:41,040 --> 01:10:43,400
Speaker 8: when they won three Super Bowls and then it gets

1421
01:10:44,280 --> 01:10:47,120
Speaker 8: this was one of the top franchises for a while.

1422
01:10:47,400 --> 01:10:49,040
Speaker 8: And so to see it sort of come back to

1423
01:10:49,160 --> 01:10:52,600
Speaker 8: life has been really really cool because they really do

1424
01:10:52,720 --> 01:10:55,040
Speaker 8: have a loyal fan base. The fans have just been

1425
01:10:55,240 --> 01:10:57,880
Speaker 8: put through the ringer with everything through with the team,

1426
01:10:58,000 --> 01:11:01,160
Speaker 8: so you can go. But they've around and now they're

1427
01:11:01,320 --> 01:11:02,479
Speaker 8: you know, reaping the benefits.

1428
01:11:03,080 --> 01:11:05,080
Speaker 2: Well, I went to Michigan, so I would be remiss

1429
01:11:05,120 --> 01:11:07,040
Speaker 2: if I didn't ask you out another rookie, And please

1430
01:11:07,080 --> 01:11:09,320
Speaker 2: make sure John Kaime knows that I asked you about him.

1431
01:11:09,400 --> 01:11:13,800
Speaker 2: But Vikey Dan Roustill we tease each other all the

1432
01:11:13,880 --> 01:11:15,680
Speaker 2: time about this, but what did.

1433
01:11:15,640 --> 01:11:16,880
Speaker 4: You see Fermit? I know he is not at a

1434
01:11:16,920 --> 01:11:17,559
Speaker 4: perfect season.

1435
01:11:17,640 --> 01:11:19,360
Speaker 2: There's been some up and down, but you know his

1436
01:11:19,439 --> 01:11:22,800
Speaker 2: performance in last week's game and his nose for the

1437
01:11:22,880 --> 01:11:25,880
Speaker 2: ball cut. What is his young energy he could bring

1438
01:11:25,960 --> 01:11:26,639
Speaker 2: to this defense.

1439
01:11:27,280 --> 01:11:29,400
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think he's one of the most impressive players

1440
01:11:29,400 --> 01:11:30,840
Speaker 8: on the SASHA. I just think the fact that he,

1441
01:11:31,840 --> 01:11:33,719
Speaker 8: you know, was a receiver to start a clause career.

1442
01:11:34,720 --> 01:11:37,840
Speaker 8: What's the dB in two years is the MVP? Like

1443
01:11:38,800 --> 01:11:40,720
Speaker 8: I think, you just have to be one heck of

1444
01:11:40,760 --> 01:11:43,080
Speaker 8: an athlete and be the really smart player to be

1445
01:11:43,160 --> 01:11:46,760
Speaker 8: able to make that transition and have such success early on.

1446
01:11:48,040 --> 01:11:51,000
Speaker 8: And they brought him in to be a nickel. They

1447
01:11:51,040 --> 01:11:53,679
Speaker 8: had enery issues, they had performance issues. They said, let's

1448
01:11:53,720 --> 01:11:57,200
Speaker 8: move them outside the corner. Not an easy transition as

1449
01:11:57,240 --> 01:12:00,360
Speaker 8: a rookie, especially when you're already transitioning this filmy things

1450
01:12:00,400 --> 01:12:03,000
Speaker 8: in the NFL. Yeah, there have been some ups and ouns,

1451
01:12:03,080 --> 01:12:05,800
Speaker 8: but he's a playmaker. He comes through when they need them,

1452
01:12:06,160 --> 01:12:08,000
Speaker 8: and he's a very smart player. And there's there's some

1453
01:12:08,080 --> 01:12:11,080
Speaker 8: similarities to Jane Daniel say and that they've a pretty

1454
01:12:11,080 --> 01:12:14,519
Speaker 8: similar mindset, Like he works his butt off, he studies

1455
01:12:14,520 --> 01:12:18,000
Speaker 8: a ton of film and loves the game. And he

1456
01:12:18,040 --> 01:12:22,320
Speaker 8: gets along well with everybody, veteran rookie, every coach you know,

1457
01:12:22,479 --> 01:12:24,960
Speaker 8: like they all love them because they see the work

1458
01:12:25,000 --> 01:12:27,640
Speaker 8: he puts in, they see the talent there. So I

1459
01:12:27,720 --> 01:12:29,400
Speaker 8: think there's like a ton of upside with him. I

1460
01:12:29,479 --> 01:12:31,559
Speaker 8: think he can be a really good corner in this league.

1461
01:12:32,360 --> 01:12:34,280
Speaker 8: I think he's already s done a bunch of improvements.

1462
01:12:34,360 --> 01:12:36,639
Speaker 8: So yeah, he's somebody that could be like a staple

1463
01:12:36,800 --> 01:12:38,200
Speaker 8: other defense for a good bit.

1464
01:12:39,200 --> 01:12:41,360
Speaker 2: Well, I can think of no better place to end

1465
01:12:41,640 --> 01:12:44,800
Speaker 2: than there. Nikki, thank you so much, have so much

1475
01:13:11,439 --> 01:13:13,840
Speaker 4: for multiple hours. No, just kidding, Sorry, I didn't want

1476
01:13:13,840 --> 01:13:16,160
Speaker 4: to scare everybody. I didn't want to share the producers.

1477
01:13:16,520 --> 01:13:19,800
Speaker 2: Well, we are going to talk a little baseball, specifically

1478
01:13:20,600 --> 01:13:23,960
Speaker 2: a team in Los Angeles that won the World Series

1479
01:13:24,080 --> 01:13:26,920
Speaker 2: but somehow lost eight million pitchers throughout the season, and

1480
01:13:27,000 --> 01:13:27,959
Speaker 2: so in the off season.

1481
01:13:27,760 --> 01:13:30,200
Speaker 4: He said, we're gonna now just sign every Bay.

1482
01:13:30,160 --> 01:13:34,320
Speaker 3: Buckle up and that'll be where we're gonna put on

1483
01:13:34,439 --> 01:13:37,320
Speaker 3: a show and you're all gonna watch while you say

1484
01:13:37,400 --> 01:13:38,000
Speaker 3: ildly by.

1485
01:13:38,280 --> 01:13:39,800
Speaker 2: But see, that's the thing, and there's been a lot

1486
01:13:39,840 --> 01:13:43,200
Speaker 2: of complaints the Dodgers are ruining baseball. Strong disagree over here.

1487
01:13:43,240 --> 01:13:46,760
Speaker 2: Anybody who knows me knows that. But what are what's

1488
01:13:46,760 --> 01:13:47,519
Speaker 2: everybody else doing? Well?

1489
01:13:47,600 --> 01:13:51,080
Speaker 3: Jack Flaherty, Dodgers pitcher now free agents himself, he said,

1490
01:13:51,080 --> 01:13:52,960
Speaker 3: a certain team is not ruining baseball.

1491
01:13:53,040 --> 01:13:55,719
Speaker 4: A lot of other teams are just doing very little.

1492
01:13:56,400 --> 01:14:00,120
Speaker 3: And it's it's you. You can't blame the Dodgers for

1493
01:14:00,240 --> 01:14:02,960
Speaker 3: taking advantage of the way the system is laid out. Right.

1494
01:14:04,280 --> 01:14:07,960
Speaker 3: They're gonna spend They're gonna take advantage of those contracts

1495
01:14:08,000 --> 01:14:10,280
Speaker 3: where you don't have to pay everything on the front end,

1496
01:14:11,520 --> 01:14:13,160
Speaker 3: and they're going to find players who want to join

1497
01:14:13,200 --> 01:14:14,040
Speaker 3: a winning culture.

1498
01:14:15,000 --> 01:14:16,519
Speaker 2: That is a thing and that's the thing. I know

1499
01:14:16,600 --> 01:14:19,360
Speaker 2: people get upset, especially in certain areas of the country

1500
01:14:19,400 --> 01:14:21,880
Speaker 2: when people say this, but the Dodgers have created a

1501
01:14:21,960 --> 01:14:23,760
Speaker 2: place where people want to play. And I don't just

1502
01:14:23,880 --> 01:14:27,080
Speaker 2: mean Los Angeles, I mean an organization where people want

1503
01:14:27,120 --> 01:14:29,400
Speaker 2: to play. And would you go into meeting with the

1504
01:14:29,439 --> 01:14:32,000
Speaker 2: Dodgers and the people sitting with you or Mookie Bets

1505
01:14:32,439 --> 01:14:37,120
Speaker 2: and Freddie Freeman and show Heyotani and most importantly Decoy

1506
01:14:37,200 --> 01:14:38,599
Speaker 2: Otani and maybe.

1507
01:14:38,479 --> 01:14:41,360
Speaker 3: Even a Clayton Kershaw with his sleeves.

1508
01:14:41,040 --> 01:14:44,560
Speaker 4: Cut off, and maybe maybe you know, maybe that you

1509
01:14:44,640 --> 01:14:45,760
Speaker 4: want to play with these people.

1510
01:14:46,640 --> 01:14:53,519
Speaker 3: It's having gotten to really experience the closeness and family

1511
01:14:53,640 --> 01:14:57,559
Speaker 3: feel that this team has changed over the past couple

1512
01:14:57,600 --> 01:15:00,479
Speaker 3: of years in the sense that not only was it

1513
01:15:01,000 --> 01:15:05,400
Speaker 3: just big stars, but the guys really bought into one

1514
01:15:05,479 --> 01:15:08,760
Speaker 3: another and this world series meant so much to them

1515
01:15:09,400 --> 01:15:14,400
Speaker 3: this year or this in twenty twenty four, and that

1516
01:15:14,760 --> 01:15:20,360
Speaker 3: internal I think affirmation and winning it is now contagious

1517
01:15:20,680 --> 01:15:23,599
Speaker 3: in terms of joy and loving the game and loving

1518
01:15:23,680 --> 01:15:27,360
Speaker 3: playing for something bigger than themselves. Because in Los Angeles

1519
01:15:27,439 --> 01:15:30,280
Speaker 3: we get a lot of we get a lot of

1520
01:15:30,360 --> 01:15:33,479
Speaker 3: misrepresentation in terms of okay, you know, it's Star Central

1521
01:15:33,520 --> 01:15:36,639
Speaker 3: blah blah blah. But I think the way this franchise

1522
01:15:36,760 --> 01:15:40,200
Speaker 3: is operating now is truly organic from within and it's

1523
01:15:40,360 --> 01:15:43,360
Speaker 3: just fueled by now It's got money back banks behind

1524
01:15:43,400 --> 01:15:43,680
Speaker 3: it too.

1525
01:15:43,840 --> 01:15:45,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, you have an ownership group that wants to win

1526
01:15:45,880 --> 01:15:47,559
Speaker 2: and will do whatever they have to do to win,

1527
01:15:47,640 --> 01:15:51,479
Speaker 2: and that is the first part of it is true

1528
01:15:51,520 --> 01:15:53,720
Speaker 2: of a lot of ownership groups. But not everybody will

1529
01:15:54,320 --> 01:15:56,000
Speaker 2: spend the money that they need you to win. So

1530
01:15:56,120 --> 01:15:58,320
Speaker 2: that's I don't think that's on the Dodgers. I think

1531
01:15:58,360 --> 01:16:02,280
Speaker 2: that is on other tea memes. Dodgers signed Tanner Scott

1532
01:16:02,439 --> 01:16:07,160
Speaker 2: this week. Roki Susaki, and I bring him up because

1533
01:16:07,200 --> 01:16:10,160
Speaker 2: I brought up decoy earlier. Jeff passed and reported that

1534
01:16:10,320 --> 01:16:13,160
Speaker 2: show Hayes dog de Coyotani was in the room for

1535
01:16:13,920 --> 01:16:16,439
Speaker 2: some of the meetings, maybe the final meeting, and I

1536
01:16:16,560 --> 01:16:17,479
Speaker 2: have to say, that's genius.

1537
01:16:17,479 --> 01:16:18,240
Speaker 4: I'm going to be honce to you.

1538
01:16:18,280 --> 01:16:20,120
Speaker 2: If I am in a room with de Coyotani and

1539
01:16:20,240 --> 01:16:22,439
Speaker 2: he puts his paw somewhere, it says that's where I

1540
01:16:22,439 --> 01:16:22,960
Speaker 2: should sign.

1541
01:16:23,040 --> 01:16:24,519
Speaker 4: I'm signing. Listen, Tracy.

1542
01:16:24,680 --> 01:16:29,519
Speaker 3: I was in the tunnel ahead of or after the

1543
01:16:29,680 --> 01:16:35,360
Speaker 3: NLCS clinching game against the Mets Okay Dodger Stadium. I

1544
01:16:35,640 --> 01:16:39,439
Speaker 3: saw you. You kind of understand when important people are

1545
01:16:39,479 --> 01:16:41,679
Speaker 3: about to be passing you to go out onto the field,

1546
01:16:42,360 --> 01:16:45,960
Speaker 3: and you got the sense that somewhat important was coming up.

1547
01:16:46,880 --> 01:16:51,160
Speaker 3: I kid you not. Whoever was holding Decoyotani in their

1548
01:16:51,840 --> 01:16:54,960
Speaker 3: hands walk by that dog made eye contact with me

1549
01:16:55,080 --> 01:16:59,360
Speaker 3: and stared into my soul, and I said, I would

1550
01:16:59,400 --> 01:17:00,719
Speaker 3: do anything for you, Decoy.

1551
01:17:01,920 --> 01:17:05,400
Speaker 4: I am. My level of jealousy right now is very intense.

1552
01:17:05,400 --> 01:17:07,840
Speaker 4: I'm gonna be honest. You too, you too? Can I

1553
01:17:08,000 --> 01:17:09,639

Speaker 3: Angeles Dodgers.

01:17:56,160 --> 01:18:00,240
Speaker 4: But do the Dodgers need him in the rotation.

1576
01:18:00,760 --> 01:18:02,479
Speaker 2: If it were up to me, and it's definitely not.

1577
01:18:02,800 --> 01:18:04,640
Speaker 2: Nobody is going to ask me, but I get to

1578
01:18:04,680 --> 01:18:06,000
Speaker 2: tell you here on the show. If it were up

1579
01:18:06,040 --> 01:18:07,439
Speaker 2: to me, he would just hit. I mean, I think

1580
01:18:07,479 --> 01:18:10,120
Speaker 2: he wants to pitch. He loves pitching, so it'll be

1581
01:18:10,200 --> 01:18:13,160
Speaker 2: interesting to see though if the numbers at the bat

1582
01:18:13,360 --> 01:18:15,720
Speaker 2: go down a little bit because he's pitching. It'll be

1583
01:18:15,800 --> 01:18:19,760
Speaker 2: one interesting to see kind of what happens there, but

1584
01:18:20,479 --> 01:18:21,960
Speaker 2: it is going to be cool to see it. It's

1585
01:18:22,000 --> 01:18:24,640
Speaker 2: something he had a tremendous season. LA has fallen in

1586
01:18:24,680 --> 01:18:28,640
Speaker 2: love with him and he hasn't even pitched yet. But

1587
01:18:28,800 --> 01:18:30,960
Speaker 2: I think there's something we need to talk about that

1588
01:18:31,080 --> 01:18:33,839
Speaker 2: I want our listeners to help with, or Los Angeles

1589

Speaker 2: best burger in LA and I don't quite know what

1591
01:18:40,520 --> 01:18:42,519
Speaker 2: to tell him. I have some thoughts, but I feel

1592
01:18:42,560 --> 01:18:45,760
Speaker 2: like as a collective group, we need to help.

1593
01:18:45,840 --> 01:18:46,840
