0:00:12.360 --> 0:00:16.479
<v Speaker 1>he was great, had some really really great analysis of

0:00:16.560 --> 0:00:19.880
<v Speaker 1>the Packers and Josh Allen And if you missed any

0:00:19.920 --> 0:00:21.960

<v Speaker 1>We will bring back some of Chris's comments. Coming up

0:00:24.280 --> 0:00:27.000
<v Speaker 1>a little bit later on. There was a UFC fight

0:00:27.040 --> 0:00:30.600
<v Speaker 1>over the weekend with Connor McGregor being knocked out. Ariel

0:00:30.640 --> 0:00:32.879
<v Speaker 1>hell Wanni, who covers this sport for the Mothership, will

0:00:32.960 --> 0:00:35.040
<v Speaker 1>join us. Coming up a little bit later on this hour.

0:00:35.560 --> 0:00:37.880
<v Speaker 1>Your phone calls are welcome, as we always do every Monday,

0:00:37.920 --> 0:00:39.879
<v Speaker 1>best and worst of the weekend, which is saw that

0:00:39.920 --> 0:00:42.880
<v Speaker 1>you liked you didn't like, And we say good morning

0:00:42.880 --> 0:00:46.600
<v Speaker 1>to our radio and TV partner, our TV partners, Peacock

0:00:46.800 --> 0:00:50.840
<v Speaker 1>Radio partners numbering almost four hundred cities around America. When

0:00:50.840 --> 0:00:52.960
<v Speaker 1>Aaron Rodgers won his first Super Bowl was back in

0:00:53.000 --> 0:00:57.000
<v Speaker 1>twenty eleven, Packers fans probably thought this is the first amending.

0:00:57.280 --> 0:01:00.400
<v Speaker 1>But the NFL can be fickle, can be cruel. And

0:01:00.480 --> 0:01:03.400
<v Speaker 1>even though Aaron Rodgers has played at an MVP level,

0:01:04.160 --> 0:01:06.559
<v Speaker 1>Green Bay has fallen short in the playoffs time after

0:01:06.600 --> 0:01:09.800
<v Speaker 1>time after time they've gotten to the NFC title games.

0:01:10.400 --> 0:01:13.840
<v Speaker 1>Rodgers can be brilliant, but that's still not always enough,

0:01:13.880 --> 0:01:17.399
<v Speaker 1>and we saw that yesterday against the Buccaneers. After the game,

0:01:17.440 --> 0:01:20.520
<v Speaker 1>he certainly didn't look like himself. Sound like himself. He's

0:01:20.600 --> 0:01:24.000
<v Speaker 1>usually pretty even keeled, a little bit snarky, sarcastic, but

0:01:24.640 --> 0:01:27.720
<v Speaker 1>he looked defeated, as he said, gutted. No matter what

0:01:27.800 --> 0:01:30.200
<v Speaker 1>he does, though, the pack they keep hitting a wall

0:01:30.800 --> 0:01:33.960
<v Speaker 1>and Packers fans during the game yesterday and even after

0:01:33.959 --> 0:01:37.560
<v Speaker 1>the game, we're reliving the draft of Jordan Love. If

0:01:37.600 --> 0:01:39.800
<v Speaker 1>we only would have taken an offensive tackle or a

0:01:39.840 --> 0:01:43.800
<v Speaker 1>cornerback or a tight end. Now you got a problem

0:01:43.800 --> 0:01:47.640
<v Speaker 1>with a Jordan Love draft. Huh. Well, I don't know

0:01:47.680 --> 0:01:50.680
<v Speaker 1>if Aaron Rodgers gets back to this place. This is

0:01:50.720 --> 0:01:54.720
<v Speaker 1>an MVP season. You had Tom Brady and company coming

0:01:54.720 --> 0:01:59.440
<v Speaker 1>to your place for the NFC title game. But you

0:01:59.480 --> 0:02:03.240
<v Speaker 1>know you got to have credit to Tampa's defense. Tampa's

0:02:03.280 --> 0:02:06.800
<v Speaker 1>defense won that game yesterday. In my opinion, we've seen

0:02:06.840 --> 0:02:10.560
<v Speaker 1>other great quarterbacks have similar journeys here. You know, Brady's

0:02:10.600 --> 0:02:14.520
<v Speaker 1>the outlier. But Brett fav won only one Super Bowl,

0:02:14.600 --> 0:02:17.400
<v Speaker 1>Drew Brees one only one, Peyton Manning one two, but

0:02:17.639 --> 0:02:21.320
<v Speaker 1>more of a bystander in that second one. But Rogers,

0:02:22.080 --> 0:02:24.639
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. He's down, he's out. Does he want

0:02:24.639 --> 0:02:26.480
<v Speaker 1>to stay in Green Bay? He seemed to have a

0:02:26.480 --> 0:02:30.720
<v Speaker 1>cryptic message when he was on the podium yesterday. When

0:02:30.720 --> 0:02:32.760
<v Speaker 1>he's playing well, he makes the NFL a whole lot

0:02:32.800 --> 0:02:35.960
<v Speaker 1>more fun. But all he asked to is look across

0:02:36.000 --> 0:02:37.960
<v Speaker 1>the line of scrimmage and see Tom Brady is going

0:02:38.000 --> 0:02:39.720
<v Speaker 1>to the Super Bowl at the age of forty three

0:02:39.760 --> 0:02:42.880
<v Speaker 1>and Rogers is just thirty seven. I say just thirty

0:02:42.919 --> 0:02:46.000
<v Speaker 1>seven because that's the way we look at quarterbacks now,

0:02:46.200 --> 0:02:49.880
<v Speaker 1>and by comparison, he's six years younger than Tom Brady.

0:02:50.520 --> 0:02:53.800
<v Speaker 1>Hopefully he makes another run at a trophy soon, but

0:02:54.000 --> 0:02:58.360
<v Speaker 1>yesterday wasn't to be. Here's Aaron Rodgers on what is

0:02:58.520 --> 0:03:02.240
<v Speaker 1>next after this loss. There's a lot of unknowns going

0:03:02.280 --> 0:03:05.240
<v Speaker 1>into this offseason now. They just I'm gonna have to

0:03:05.280 --> 0:03:08.240
<v Speaker 1>take some time away for sure and clear my head

0:03:08.320 --> 0:03:11.040
<v Speaker 1>and just kind of see what's going on with everything.

0:03:11.680 --> 0:03:15.720
<v Speaker 1>But it's pretty tough right now, especially thinking about the

0:03:15.760 --> 0:03:17.639
<v Speaker 1>guys that may or may not be here next year.

0:03:18.240 --> 0:03:21.639
<v Speaker 1>There's always changed as to only constant this business. It's

0:03:21.720 --> 0:03:24.320
<v Speaker 1>really tough to get to this point, really really tough,

0:03:24.880 --> 0:03:29.360
<v Speaker 1>especially with the only being one bye week in the playoffs.

0:03:30.080 --> 0:03:32.440
<v Speaker 1>It's a grind just to get to this point. And

0:03:32.560 --> 0:03:35.560
<v Speaker 1>that makes the finality of it all kind of hits

0:03:35.600 --> 0:03:38.560
<v Speaker 1>you like a ton of bricks. That's why it's a

0:03:38.640 --> 0:03:44.600
<v Speaker 1>gutting and feeling in your stomach. That's what hit me

0:03:45.520 --> 0:03:48.839
<v Speaker 1>because I wanted to leave that in because I think

0:03:48.880 --> 0:03:51.960
<v Speaker 1>it was just the enormity sort of hit him there

0:03:52.400 --> 0:03:56.040
<v Speaker 1>where you just you want to exhale. You want to

0:03:56.080 --> 0:03:59.360
<v Speaker 1>try to not say something you're going to regret. You know,

0:03:59.400 --> 0:04:03.080
<v Speaker 1>if you're thirty years of age, twenty five years of age,

0:04:03.320 --> 0:04:05.800
<v Speaker 1>you think you're going to be back, you expect to

0:04:05.840 --> 0:04:09.560
<v Speaker 1>be back. He's thirty seven and this was a very

0:04:09.560 --> 0:04:12.440
<v Speaker 1>good year for the Packers. You have to win the

0:04:12.560 --> 0:04:16.680
<v Speaker 1>home game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and then Tom

0:04:16.720 --> 0:04:20.240
<v Speaker 1>Brady throws three interceptions on three consecutive drives and you

0:04:20.279 --> 0:04:23.640
<v Speaker 1>don't take advantage of them, and then the opportunity with

0:04:23.680 --> 0:04:26.200
<v Speaker 1>a little more than two minutes to go, got to

0:04:26.279 --> 0:04:29.360
<v Speaker 1>score a touchdown at some point, and you decide to

0:04:29.440 --> 0:04:32.719
<v Speaker 1>kick the field goal. Chris Collinsworth had a great breakdown

0:04:32.800 --> 0:04:34.840
<v Speaker 1>on this, and if you didn't hear it, you can

0:04:34.880 --> 0:04:37.200
<v Speaker 1>listen to the entire interview, or I'll bring it back

0:04:37.520 --> 0:04:40.120
<v Speaker 1>a little bit later on. Kevin King did not have

0:04:40.160 --> 0:04:42.880
<v Speaker 1>a good day at all, as he gave up a

0:04:42.920 --> 0:04:46.720
<v Speaker 1>couple of touchdowns, including Scottie Miller sprinting right past him

0:04:46.760 --> 0:04:51.279
<v Speaker 1>for another touchdown. Gave up one earlier with Mike Evans

0:04:51.360 --> 0:04:55.800
<v Speaker 1>that was the buccaneers first touchdown, had a pass interference call.

0:04:56.520 --> 0:04:59.600
<v Speaker 1>Leonard Fournette blasted King with his shoulder than rote him

0:04:59.600 --> 0:05:01.719
<v Speaker 1>into the d zone to give Tampa Bay the lead.

0:05:02.680 --> 0:05:06.960
<v Speaker 1>But it was not a good afternoon for the defensive back.

0:05:07.600 --> 0:05:09.719
<v Speaker 1>But I'm going to give a lot of credit to

0:05:09.760 --> 0:05:12.760
<v Speaker 1>the defense for the Buccaneers. For the second consecutive week,

0:05:12.800 --> 0:05:16.880
<v Speaker 1>they won a football game, and Brady took advantage. Took

0:05:16.920 --> 0:05:20.719
<v Speaker 1>advantage in the first half. He looked like somebody had

0:05:20.839 --> 0:05:23.080
<v Speaker 1>taken over his body and one of those bodies swapped

0:05:23.120 --> 0:05:26.320
<v Speaker 1>movies in the second half because I kept going, where's

0:05:26.320 --> 0:05:30.000
<v Speaker 1>Tom Brady, because that's not Tom Brady. But they made

0:05:30.000 --> 0:05:31.960
<v Speaker 1>some plays when they needed to make them. And now

0:05:32.000 --> 0:05:35.320
<v Speaker 1>you have a home game for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

0:05:35.600 --> 0:05:38.159
<v Speaker 1>By the way, they're underdogs at home right now. The

0:05:38.200 --> 0:05:40.680
<v Speaker 1>lines around three, three and a half. And I was

0:05:40.720 --> 0:05:43.920
<v Speaker 1>wondering if Kansas City was hosting the super Bowl, they

0:05:43.960 --> 0:05:46.520
<v Speaker 1>would probably be a six and a half point favorite.

0:05:46.640 --> 0:05:48.920
<v Speaker 1>You know, Tampa is hosting the super Bowl, but let's

0:05:48.920 --> 0:05:52.240
<v Speaker 1>say Kansas City was hosting, would they be a touchdown favorite?

0:05:52.480 --> 0:05:55.360
<v Speaker 1>And that's probably the case. But Tom doesn't mind being

0:05:55.400 --> 0:05:58.120
<v Speaker 1>an underdog. He's been an underdog quite a few times.

0:05:58.120 --> 0:06:02.600
<v Speaker 1>So I'm sure worst case scenario, you're still playing at

0:06:02.640 --> 0:06:06.320
<v Speaker 1>home and you don't have to go to Lambeau. Yeah, Paul,

0:06:06.560 --> 0:06:08.200
<v Speaker 1>I was thinking about this on the drive in. If

0:06:08.200 --> 0:06:10.200
<v Speaker 1>the Packers had somehow made to come back and won

0:06:10.240 --> 0:06:13.120
<v Speaker 1>the game, what we'll be talking about today. How critical

0:06:13.240 --> 0:06:15.359
<v Speaker 1>would we have been at the three second half interceptions

0:06:15.360 --> 0:06:18.200
<v Speaker 1>to Brady And would he get the tag of losing

0:06:18.320 --> 0:06:21.080
<v Speaker 1>this game like he's getting the credit for winning this game. Yeah,

0:06:21.120 --> 0:06:23.599
<v Speaker 1>he doesn't deserve the credit for winning the game. This

0:06:23.680 --> 0:06:27.719
<v Speaker 1>is a team win. It's not going to be presented

0:06:27.760 --> 0:06:32.960
<v Speaker 1>that way because you know these shows, TV shows, radio, shows.

0:06:33.440 --> 0:06:38.400
<v Speaker 1>Nobody's interested in talking about Scottie Miller or the defensive

0:06:38.480 --> 0:06:41.800
<v Speaker 1>front or Shack Barrett not going to happen. It's all

0:06:41.839 --> 0:06:44.520
<v Speaker 1>about Brady. And you know the same can be said

0:06:44.560 --> 0:06:46.840
<v Speaker 1>for the Kansas City Chiefs with Patrick Mahomes. This is

0:06:46.880 --> 0:06:50.599
<v Speaker 1>about Patrick Mahomes. No, it should be about the entire

0:06:50.680 --> 0:06:54.880
<v Speaker 1>Kansas City Chiefs. That secondary was wonderful yesterday. They really were.

0:06:55.839 --> 0:07:00.679
<v Speaker 1>Travis Kelsey was brilliant. We expect Mahomes to be great.

0:07:01.320 --> 0:07:03.280
<v Speaker 1>But I gave you a stat last week might have

0:07:03.360 --> 0:07:07.360
<v Speaker 1>been Thursday or Friday, and I said, Buffalo this year

0:07:07.440 --> 0:07:11.360
<v Speaker 1>during the regular season allowed more receptions for the tight

0:07:11.520 --> 0:07:15.720
<v Speaker 1>end than any other team in football. They stayed true

0:07:15.720 --> 0:07:20.640
<v Speaker 1>to that stat because Travis Kelsey was wonderful. Ye had

0:07:20.760 --> 0:07:25.120
<v Speaker 1>thirteen catches, he was targeted fifteen times, and he's beating

0:07:25.960 --> 0:07:28.840
<v Speaker 1>defensive backs. Used to be your tight end would be

0:07:28.880 --> 0:07:32.200
<v Speaker 1>on a linebacker. That's not the case because they're so good,

0:07:32.280 --> 0:07:36.880
<v Speaker 1>so athletic, and Kelsey is going up against cornerbacks in

0:07:37.600 --> 0:07:42.360
<v Speaker 1>single coverage. And because you've got to decide who we doubling, well,

0:07:42.400 --> 0:07:45.480
<v Speaker 1>you can't double both of them, Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelsey,

0:07:45.560 --> 0:07:49.360
<v Speaker 1>but you have to have the who are they doubling

0:07:49.400 --> 0:07:51.400
<v Speaker 1>this time? Like, you have to have some doubt and

0:07:51.480 --> 0:07:55.360
<v Speaker 1>you have to be aggressive with Kansas City. Buffalo did

0:07:55.400 --> 0:07:57.680
<v Speaker 1>not look like they were on the same playing field

0:07:57.880 --> 0:08:01.080
<v Speaker 1>in more ways than one with Kansas City last great year.

0:08:01.720 --> 0:08:05.160
<v Speaker 1>But Kansas City is just different. They've been through this,

0:08:05.240 --> 0:08:07.840
<v Speaker 1>Buffalo has not. And this might be one of those

0:08:07.920 --> 0:08:10.680
<v Speaker 1>where next year or two years, three years down the road,

0:08:11.600 --> 0:08:15.520
<v Speaker 1>Josh Allen talks about this moment, this learning moment. You know,

0:08:15.560 --> 0:08:18.920
<v Speaker 1>the Bulls had the Pistons, the Pistons had the Celtics.

0:08:19.200 --> 0:08:21.280
<v Speaker 1>You have these moments where you got to get through

0:08:21.400 --> 0:08:24.600
<v Speaker 1>them and then you never look back. But if you

0:08:24.640 --> 0:08:31.120
<v Speaker 1>don't beat Patrick Mahomes, you got to take advantage these opportunities.

0:08:32.240 --> 0:08:34.880
<v Speaker 1>But Cleveland will stand out to me this year because

0:08:34.920 --> 0:08:37.400
<v Speaker 1>I think they had a chance that they could have

0:08:37.440 --> 0:08:39.840
<v Speaker 1>beaten Patrick Mahomes. Well, they could have eaten the Chiefs.

0:08:40.280 --> 0:08:43.000
<v Speaker 1>If you can't meet Chad Henning and you have no

0:08:43.040 --> 0:08:47.880
<v Speaker 1>shot against Patrick Mahomes. But I still think, and it

0:08:47.920 --> 0:08:50.720
<v Speaker 1>was re emphasized to me yesterday by source that Mahomes

0:08:50.720 --> 0:08:53.880
<v Speaker 1>did not have a concussion. He was diagnosed as a concussion.

0:08:53.960 --> 0:08:57.240
<v Speaker 1>Therefore he has to go through concussion protocol. The bigger

0:08:57.320 --> 0:09:02.839
<v Speaker 1>issue was Turftoe, and that's something that Buffalo never used

0:09:02.840 --> 0:09:07.120
<v Speaker 1>to their advantage. To make Patrick Mahomes run a little bit,

0:09:07.559 --> 0:09:10.720
<v Speaker 1>put pressure on him. Easier said than done. But man,

0:09:10.760 --> 0:09:13.640
<v Speaker 1>I got to live and die by being aggressive against him,

0:09:13.640 --> 0:09:17.880
<v Speaker 1>and Tampa will be aggressive against him absudlutely, but you

0:09:17.960 --> 0:09:21.120
<v Speaker 1>have to be all right. Phone calls welcome. We'll get

0:09:21.160 --> 0:09:23.320
<v Speaker 1>to those coming up. Mcloven. Do we have our poll question?

0:09:23.520 --> 0:09:25.840
<v Speaker 1>We start out with who's getting to a Super Bowl first?

0:09:25.920 --> 0:09:29.280
<v Speaker 1>Josh Allen or Aaron Rodgers actually fifty three percent Josh Allen.

0:09:35.080 --> 0:09:37.320
<v Speaker 1>I think that we look at Buffalo as more of

0:09:37.360 --> 0:09:42.360
<v Speaker 1>a positive story today, and you know, Stefan Diggs was

0:09:42.400 --> 0:09:47.120
<v Speaker 1>a wonderful pick up. They they need a little bit

0:09:47.160 --> 0:09:50.400
<v Speaker 1>more potent running game here, but they have some playmakers

0:09:50.440 --> 0:09:52.840
<v Speaker 1>on that team. Yeah, I guess I can understand that

0:09:52.840 --> 0:09:56.320
<v Speaker 1>that here's Rogers having a magical season and you're playing

0:09:56.320 --> 0:09:58.960
<v Speaker 1>at home and you don't win, and you probably think

0:09:59.520 --> 0:10:02.400
<v Speaker 1>we're not going to get back anytime soon. The McLean Yeah,

0:10:02.480 --> 0:10:03.839
<v Speaker 1>I was going to ask, is there a sense that

0:10:03.880 --> 0:10:06.440
<v Speaker 1>the Packers are gone as far as they can with Rogers?

0:10:06.920 --> 0:10:10.480
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't say that. I think it'd be dangerous to

0:10:10.520 --> 0:10:13.400
<v Speaker 1>say that, because I think people wrote off Tom Brady

0:10:13.440 --> 0:10:16.760
<v Speaker 1>a year ago. The last couple of years. Oh, he's

0:10:16.800 --> 0:10:19.600
<v Speaker 1>not a leader. Remember all the negative things that came

0:10:19.600 --> 0:10:22.160
<v Speaker 1>out about Aaron Rodgers, Like it felt like every year

0:10:22.280 --> 0:10:24.720
<v Speaker 1>somebody would say something and then all of a sudden

0:10:24.720 --> 0:10:28.600
<v Speaker 1>it became exacerbated that boy, how did he? How did

0:10:28.600 --> 0:10:30.720
<v Speaker 1>he make it through this career, a Hall of Fame career,

0:10:30.760 --> 0:10:33.240
<v Speaker 1>And he's a terrible leader, and he doesn't take blame.

0:10:33.320 --> 0:10:37.640
<v Speaker 1>And he had an MVP season. He's been written off before.

0:10:37.880 --> 0:10:40.360
<v Speaker 1>It just the words that he said, and he was

0:10:40.440 --> 0:10:44.000
<v Speaker 1>picking them carefully about I don't know who's going to

0:10:44.080 --> 0:10:48.520
<v Speaker 1>be back. He's under contract, yeah, Paul. Yeah. The Packers

0:10:48.520 --> 0:10:51.120
<v Speaker 1>are twenty seven million dollars over the cap right now.

0:10:51.360 --> 0:10:53.319
<v Speaker 1>Aaron Jones, the running back, he's a free agent. The

0:10:53.320 --> 0:10:56.080
<v Speaker 1>other running back, Jamal Williams, free agent. They're probably gonna

0:10:56.120 --> 0:10:58.400
<v Speaker 1>lose both those guys. And because that's why they took

0:10:58.400 --> 0:11:02.880
<v Speaker 1>AJ Dillon. Yeah, that Corey Lindley, that center all pro

0:11:03.360 --> 0:11:05.160
<v Speaker 1>free agent, so they have to sign him. He's only

0:11:05.200 --> 0:11:07.320
<v Speaker 1>thirty years old. They got about six other free agents

0:11:07.360 --> 0:11:09.120
<v Speaker 1>that they're not gonna be able to sign. So this

0:11:09.200 --> 0:11:13.199
<v Speaker 1>Packer team's gonna lose probably four starters. And we talked

0:11:13.200 --> 0:11:15.880
<v Speaker 1>a lot about in the first half of our first

0:11:15.880 --> 0:11:18.199
<v Speaker 1>hour of the show about that, the second half of

0:11:18.280 --> 0:11:20.640
<v Speaker 1>two minutes to go and do you go for a touchdown?

0:11:20.720 --> 0:11:23.199
<v Speaker 1>And I would have gone for a touchdown, but I

0:11:23.200 --> 0:11:25.880
<v Speaker 1>would have treated the four downs differently than just throw

0:11:25.880 --> 0:11:29.880
<v Speaker 1>it into the end zone those three passes. And you know,

0:11:29.920 --> 0:11:32.680
<v Speaker 1>as Chris Collinsworth brought it up, did Aaron Rodgers know

0:11:32.760 --> 0:11:34.520
<v Speaker 1>on third down that they weren't going to go for

0:11:34.559 --> 0:11:36.720
<v Speaker 1>it on fourth down? And if he didn't, then that's

0:11:36.720 --> 0:11:39.920
<v Speaker 1>a big mistake by the Packers, because if I'm going

0:11:39.960 --> 0:11:44.840
<v Speaker 1>for it on fourth down, then I do run, I scramble,

0:11:44.880 --> 0:11:48.120
<v Speaker 1>I go for it. But I didn't agree with it.

0:11:48.400 --> 0:11:52.800
<v Speaker 1>And you know, Matt Lafloor said, you know, he was

0:11:52.880 --> 0:11:55.720
<v Speaker 1>asked if he regretted kicking a field goal on fourth down.

0:11:55.760 --> 0:11:58.560
<v Speaker 1>He had this to say, Yeah, anytime it doesn't work out,

0:11:58.559 --> 0:12:01.920
<v Speaker 1>you always regret it. Right. It was just the circumstances

0:12:02.040 --> 0:12:05.760
<v Speaker 1>of having three shots coming away with no yards and

0:12:06.040 --> 0:12:08.520
<v Speaker 1>knowing that you not only need the touchdown, but you'd

0:12:08.520 --> 0:12:10.840
<v Speaker 1>need the two points so the way I was looking

0:12:10.880 --> 0:12:14.520
<v Speaker 1>at it was essentially had four timeouts with the two

0:12:14.520 --> 0:12:16.959
<v Speaker 1>minute warning. You know, we knew we needed to get

0:12:16.960 --> 0:12:18.840
<v Speaker 1>a stop and I thought we were going to have

0:12:18.880 --> 0:12:20.960
<v Speaker 1>a stop there at the end, but you know, we

0:12:21.040 --> 0:12:24.440
<v Speaker 1>got called for the p PI. That didn't work out.

0:12:24.520 --> 0:12:28.160
<v Speaker 1>So I think anytime something doesn't work out, do you

0:12:28.200 --> 0:12:33.840
<v Speaker 1>regret it? Sure, I was critiquing the moment, not the result.

0:12:34.679 --> 0:12:37.280
<v Speaker 1>I was critiquing in the moment, saying, you know when

0:12:37.280 --> 0:12:40.000
<v Speaker 1>Aaron Rodgers going off the field and he's basically going,

0:12:40.400 --> 0:12:43.800
<v Speaker 1>what are we doing here? I think if you were

0:12:43.840 --> 0:12:45.440
<v Speaker 1>at home, you might have been doing the same thing.

0:12:46.120 --> 0:12:48.320
<v Speaker 1>I just wouldn't have had That wouldn't have been my

0:12:48.400 --> 0:12:50.920
<v Speaker 1>sequence of plays that I would have called if I

0:12:50.960 --> 0:12:54.480
<v Speaker 1>knew it was four down territory. You score a touchdown, Okay,

0:12:54.640 --> 0:12:57.400
<v Speaker 1>I can get a two point conversion. Now it looks

0:12:57.400 --> 0:13:00.800
<v Speaker 1>like we're going to play for overtime. You still got

0:13:00.800 --> 0:13:03.320
<v Speaker 1>to score touchdown at some point. You got to score

0:13:03.400 --> 0:13:07.520
<v Speaker 1>touchdown the field position game. I certainly understand that if

0:13:07.520 --> 0:13:10.880
<v Speaker 1>you don't get the touchdown, they get the ball at

0:13:10.880 --> 0:13:13.760
<v Speaker 1>the eight yard line. Okay, if I stop them, I

0:13:13.840 --> 0:13:16.319
<v Speaker 1>still have some timeouts, and I can still make another

0:13:16.400 --> 0:13:19.199
<v Speaker 1>go at scoring a touchdown in two point conversion. By

0:13:19.200 --> 0:13:23.040
<v Speaker 1>the way, Eric Fisher, the kentsas city chiefs, I believe

0:13:23.040 --> 0:13:26.160
<v Speaker 1>as a torn Achilles like that was one of those

0:13:26.200 --> 0:13:29.280
<v Speaker 1>Oh by the way, wait what just happened? Yeah, so

0:13:29.320 --> 0:13:32.080
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna be missing their starting tackles. And you saw

0:13:32.080 --> 0:13:35.400
<v Speaker 1>how much pressure Tampa Bay can bring. And if they

0:13:35.400 --> 0:13:37.760
<v Speaker 1>can do that with Aaron Rodgers, they're gonna be going

0:13:37.840 --> 0:13:40.880
<v Speaker 1>after Patrick Mahomes. All right, let me get to phone

0:13:40.880 --> 0:13:44.000
<v Speaker 1>calls here, Dave and Nova Scotia. Hi, Dave, good morning,

0:13:44.280 --> 0:13:50.280
<v Speaker 1>what's on your mind? Yeah? But Dan, just like you said,

0:13:50.360 --> 0:13:53.120
<v Speaker 1>Buck defense leading away just like the last time we

0:13:53.120 --> 0:13:56.200
<v Speaker 1>were successful in the playoffs. I mean, watching the defense

0:13:56.280 --> 0:14:00.000
<v Speaker 1>come up just week after week has been huge, really

0:14:00.120 --> 0:14:02.920
<v Speaker 1>excited about two weeks. Wanted to get your take. So

0:14:03.160 --> 0:14:05.480
<v Speaker 1>having a Super Bowl party here in two weeks at

0:14:05.480 --> 0:14:09.040
<v Speaker 1>the Dave Cave um yesterday had in laws over, had

0:14:09.040 --> 0:14:12.640
<v Speaker 1>a serious marinade going on four letter words flying every

0:14:12.640 --> 0:14:15.839
<v Speaker 1>other play. What's your guys's take on having a crew

0:14:15.880 --> 0:14:18.520
<v Speaker 1>over watching the game? You know, family friends. Do you

0:14:19.000 --> 0:14:20.720
<v Speaker 1>live and die by the play or do you try

0:14:20.760 --> 0:14:23.239
<v Speaker 1>to sit back, calm and collect it and keep it professional.

0:14:23.480 --> 0:14:26.360
<v Speaker 1>Thanks for to call Danny. Well, if there's kids there,

0:14:27.040 --> 0:14:29.880
<v Speaker 1>then you know you got to have a kind of

0:14:29.880 --> 0:14:33.840
<v Speaker 1>a hall monitor there. How about a kids section and

0:14:33.960 --> 0:14:37.840
<v Speaker 1>an adult section. But I watched the game by myself.

0:14:39.320 --> 0:14:42.080
<v Speaker 1>That that way I can I don't have to wait

0:14:42.080 --> 0:14:44.680
<v Speaker 1>in line for the bathroom. I can drink when I want, smoke,

0:14:44.960 --> 0:14:48.040
<v Speaker 1>smoke a cigar, I can yell. I don't have to

0:14:48.040 --> 0:14:50.040
<v Speaker 1>worry about any of that. But you might like to

0:14:50.080 --> 0:14:53.440
<v Speaker 1>hang out with people I don't like. I love, you know,

0:14:53.680 --> 0:14:56.320
<v Speaker 1>even when my wife does it. Drive by, how's the game?

0:14:57.160 --> 0:15:02.360
<v Speaker 1>It's it's good, it's good? And and is that so?

0:15:02.920 --> 0:15:07.920
<v Speaker 1>Which one's brady? That that guy? Right? No, you've got

0:15:07.960 --> 0:15:10.920
<v Speaker 1>some knowledge. Gotta give her a little credit. I just

0:15:10.920 --> 0:15:14.840
<v Speaker 1>don't like when they go, oh it's seventeen to twenty seven,

0:15:14.920 --> 0:15:18.360
<v Speaker 1>Oh no, no, or something happens and then they want

0:15:18.400 --> 0:15:20.640
<v Speaker 1>an explanation of something that you know is going to

0:15:20.720 --> 0:15:23.640
<v Speaker 1>take a couple of minutes. Yeah, I don't want you

0:15:23.720 --> 0:15:25.960
<v Speaker 1>coming down with a little more than two minutes to go?

0:15:26.080 --> 0:15:31.000
<v Speaker 1>Is Aaron Rodgers is facing a third night? So who's winning?

0:15:33.520 --> 0:15:36.840
<v Speaker 1>I hold on here, let me that's when you've grown

0:15:36.920 --> 0:15:42.080
<v Speaker 1>like Aaron Rodgers grown at the end of that cut. Yes, boy,

0:15:42.320 --> 0:15:44.880
<v Speaker 1>you've never been more right about anything. Watching the Super

0:15:44.920 --> 0:15:46.720
<v Speaker 1>Bowl by yourself, by yourself as the greatest thing in

0:15:46.800 --> 0:15:49.360
<v Speaker 1>the world. You got food, you got drinking off. I'm

0:15:49.400 --> 0:15:51.720
<v Speaker 1>okay with it. Yeah. My wife every years goes, do

0:15:51.760 --> 0:15:53.520
<v Speaker 1>you want to go over to the neighbors Jim he's

0:15:53.520 --> 0:15:57.880
<v Speaker 1>having or my life will go Hey, I was thinking

0:15:57.920 --> 0:16:02.280
<v Speaker 1>about inviting. No oh no, no, no, don't na, no

0:16:02.480 --> 0:16:05.040
<v Speaker 1>need to you know, maybe something earlier in the day.

0:16:05.280 --> 0:16:08.760
<v Speaker 1>More than happy, But nah, I'm good. Ted and Tampa Ted,

0:16:08.880 --> 0:16:12.920
<v Speaker 1>we did it, Yes, sir, sure did and you're right.

0:16:13.240 --> 0:16:17.560
<v Speaker 1>It was a defense. We won the game yesterday, including

0:16:17.600 --> 0:16:21.320
<v Speaker 1>Todd Bowls, the defense coordinator. But you got to say

0:16:21.360 --> 0:16:25.280
<v Speaker 1>the difference. Tom may have not won the game yesterday,

0:16:25.480 --> 0:16:28.960
<v Speaker 1>but the difference this year between a losing record last

0:16:29.040 --> 0:16:32.760
<v Speaker 1>year going to the Super Bowl this year was Tampa Bay.

0:16:33.400 --> 0:16:37.760
<v Speaker 1>We do have your Super Bowl remote location set up.

0:16:38.200 --> 0:16:41.160
<v Speaker 1>We did sound checks yesterday, so whichever one of the

0:16:41.200 --> 0:16:44.200
<v Speaker 1>dants you want to send down, we're good. And then

0:16:44.280 --> 0:16:46.680
<v Speaker 1>the worst of the day is as we were sitting

0:16:46.680 --> 0:16:50.040
<v Speaker 1>out watching the game yesterday, two of my guys got

0:16:50.120 --> 0:16:55.760
<v Speaker 1>kind of unsightly sunburns. So well, Thank you, Ted, thank

0:16:55.800 --> 0:16:59.000
<v Speaker 1>you for the invitation. I don't know if Ted ever

0:16:59.080 --> 0:17:03.280
<v Speaker 1>here's no very often in his job, but yeah, we're

0:17:03.280 --> 0:17:06.480
<v Speaker 1>not sending any Danage down to Tampa. I'd love to,

0:17:06.640 --> 0:17:10.000
<v Speaker 1>but but we're not. Ted didn't bring up the offensive line.

0:17:10.000 --> 0:17:13.280
<v Speaker 1>Remember all those weeks that Ted would call in and say, oh,

0:17:13.359 --> 0:17:17.240
<v Speaker 1>their offensive line is terrible. I said, I'm assuming that

0:17:17.280 --> 0:17:20.520
<v Speaker 1>they'll address it, and I'm assuming the offensive line is

0:17:20.640 --> 0:17:23.880
<v Speaker 1>just a little bit better. Jeff and Detroit, then we'll

0:17:23.920 --> 0:17:27.159
<v Speaker 1>take a break. Hey, Jeff, what's on your mind? Hey?

0:17:27.200 --> 0:17:30.840
<v Speaker 1>What up? Though? One time for chat Row. First of all,

0:17:31.640 --> 0:17:33.840
<v Speaker 1>saying goodbout the Matt Stafford is gonna be kind of hard,

0:17:33.880 --> 0:17:36.480
<v Speaker 1>But I kind of see it as like Justin Verlander

0:17:36.600 --> 0:17:38.920
<v Speaker 1>is setting him free and seeing what he can do.

0:17:39.200 --> 0:17:42.720
<v Speaker 1>Somebody is he went and on the World Series that

0:17:42.800 --> 0:17:45.800
<v Speaker 1>when he left it track. I'm honestly thinking you putting

0:17:45.800 --> 0:17:48.399
<v Speaker 1>Matt Staffing in a right situation. Think about it. He's

0:17:48.440 --> 0:17:50.359
<v Speaker 1>never out of the game. He can go to the

0:17:50.400 --> 0:17:53.120
<v Speaker 1>full length of the field within a minute's time. He's

0:17:53.119 --> 0:17:55.520
<v Speaker 1>done it like two three times this year in a

0:17:56.240 --> 0:17:59.600
<v Speaker 1>losing season under Matt. Patricia saw I'm figuring somebody's getting

0:17:59.600 --> 0:18:02.880
<v Speaker 1>a pretty pretty good a quarterback. I want to say

0:18:02.920 --> 0:18:05.720
<v Speaker 1>this though, and I feel very sorry for all Green

0:18:05.760 --> 0:18:08.560
<v Speaker 1>Bay fans because the one thing about a football player

0:18:08.720 --> 0:18:12.040
<v Speaker 1>is they want to die on the field right there

0:18:12.080 --> 0:18:14.159
<v Speaker 1>in the end zone. I got a chance to go

0:18:14.240 --> 0:18:16.920
<v Speaker 1>to the super Bowl. You have got to let that

0:18:16.960 --> 0:18:20.000
<v Speaker 1>play go. You can't kick it because I mean, what's

0:18:20.119 --> 0:18:23.200
<v Speaker 1>what's the alternative? And get the PI and they get

0:18:23.200 --> 0:18:26.840
<v Speaker 1>the purse the what's the name? And the game is

0:18:26.880 --> 0:18:28.920
<v Speaker 1>over with? You know what I'm saying that the game

0:18:29.040 --> 0:18:32.240
<v Speaker 1>was totally over with what personal interference call? So you

0:18:32.359 --> 0:18:36.600
<v Speaker 1>just I mean Aaron Rodgers making money, That's all I'm saying.

0:18:36.800 --> 0:18:39.600
<v Speaker 1>The man is one of the best quarterbacks ever. We

0:18:39.720 --> 0:18:42.600
<v Speaker 1>always say that. Let them prove it, all right, Thank you, Jeff.

0:18:43.800 --> 0:18:46.639
<v Speaker 1>I love how every quarterback is the right fit for

0:18:46.680 --> 0:18:50.560
<v Speaker 1>the Patriots. Matthew Stafford right fit for the Patriots. You know,

0:18:50.600 --> 0:18:53.040
<v Speaker 1>DeShawn Watson would be the right fit for the Patriots.

0:18:53.040 --> 0:18:55.399
<v Speaker 1>Why is it every quarterback is the right fit for

0:18:55.400 --> 0:19:01.879
<v Speaker 1>the Patriots. We don't say that about other teams. Brady

0:19:02.040 --> 0:19:05.600
<v Speaker 1>wasn't the right fit for the Patriots, but every other quarterback,

0:19:06.080 --> 0:19:08.879
<v Speaker 1>you know, I could see man Ryan right fit for

0:19:08.880 --> 0:19:12.080
<v Speaker 1>the Patriots. Yes, McClean, you know who's getting a little

0:19:12.080 --> 0:19:15.080
<v Speaker 1>bit of that treatment too. Everybody fits with Kyle Shanahan

0:19:15.119 --> 0:19:18.920
<v Speaker 1>in the nine. Yes, that's true, except for their quarterback,

0:19:19.000 --> 0:19:22.280
<v Speaker 1>Jimmy Garoppolo. I love how you put DeShawn Watson there.

0:19:22.280 --> 0:19:25.280
<v Speaker 1>You put Matthew Stafford in a Kyle Shanahan offense, and

0:19:25.280 --> 0:19:29.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, how many quarterbacks you got? You got one? Yeah, McLelland.

0:19:29.560 --> 0:19:31.679
<v Speaker 1>But it's funny because jimmyg actually does fit with the

0:19:31.720 --> 0:19:36.520
<v Speaker 1>Patriots in real life. Make that happen dead. Oh, I've

0:19:36.560 --> 0:19:38.879
<v Speaker 1>been saying that for a long time. I would just

0:19:39.000 --> 0:19:41.280
<v Speaker 1>find New England. It is to say, hey, Kyle, I

0:19:41.400 --> 0:19:43.679
<v Speaker 1>gift wrap Jimmy two. You can have him back, and

0:19:43.760 --> 0:19:46.680
<v Speaker 1>then you guys can do whatever you want. And plus,

0:19:47.400 --> 0:19:50.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, the Lions announced that they're parting ways with

0:19:50.920 --> 0:19:54.399
<v Speaker 1>Matthew Stafford, so you lose some leverage there. And I

0:19:54.400 --> 0:19:56.320
<v Speaker 1>don't know what you have to give up to get

0:19:56.359 --> 0:20:00.000
<v Speaker 1>Matthew Stafford, who, by the way, salary wise, is a bargain.

0:20:00.640 --> 0:20:02.639
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I get a proven quarterback. I don't know

0:20:02.680 --> 0:20:04.960
<v Speaker 1>about the medicals. That'll be the biggest thing when you

0:20:05.359 --> 0:20:08.800
<v Speaker 1>get team doctors looking at Matthew Stafford. How banged up

0:20:08.880 --> 0:20:11.840
<v Speaker 1>is he from all those years in Detroit? But are

0:20:11.840 --> 0:20:13.840
<v Speaker 1>you getting a first round pick? I had a source

0:20:13.880 --> 0:20:15.920
<v Speaker 1>say you might get a second and a fourth for

0:20:16.040 --> 0:20:19.520
<v Speaker 1>Matthew Stafford. But I don't know how he's valued. But

0:20:19.600 --> 0:20:23.320
<v Speaker 1>at age thirty three, if I'm the Colts, you know

0:20:23.400 --> 0:20:28.879
<v Speaker 1>he fits right in. And with the Colts, Oh, they

0:20:28.960 --> 0:20:31.280
<v Speaker 1>got a dome. He'll be at home there. All right,

0:20:31.560 --> 0:20:33.080
<v Speaker 1>let me take a break. We'll give you our best

0:20:33.080 --> 0:20:35.080
<v Speaker 1>and worst of the weekend. More phone calls coming up

0:20:45.800 --> 0:20:47.960
<v Speaker 1>up that I'd ever think that I have a driver

0:20:48.080 --> 0:20:50.840
<v Speaker 1>Mercedes Spence. If I did, it would be because I

0:20:50.920 --> 0:20:54.240
<v Speaker 1>stole it, or it was a friend. I was a

0:20:54.359 --> 0:20:58.359
<v Speaker 1>driver for somebody. Yeah. I never thought i'd have a

0:20:58.440 --> 0:21:00.720
<v Speaker 1>Mercedes Spence. I remember growing up one of my friend's

0:21:00.840 --> 0:21:04.120

<v Speaker 1>go around the infield. Here. We'll start with Todd Fritz

0:22:09.320 --> 0:22:11.520
<v Speaker 1>at third base. Tom My Best of the weekend in

0:22:11.600 --> 0:22:14.840
<v Speaker 1>one twenty four win in Brooklyn against Miami. Kyrie scores

0:22:14.880 --> 0:22:17.399
<v Speaker 1>twenty eight points, including eighteen and the fourth quarter alone.

0:22:17.520 --> 0:22:19.560
<v Speaker 1>Bam Adebayo puts up a career high forty one and

0:22:19.640 --> 0:22:22.280
<v Speaker 1>a losing effort worst of the weekend. Tough loss for

0:22:22.320 --> 0:22:25.440
<v Speaker 1>the UCLA Brewins sadly at Stanford's Oscar de Silva scores

0:22:25.480 --> 0:22:28.080
<v Speaker 1>off an inbound pass at the buzzer in overtime, beats

0:22:28.080 --> 0:22:31.080
<v Speaker 1>the Bruin seventy three seventy two, snapping the Bruins undefeated

0:22:31.119 --> 0:22:33.960
<v Speaker 1>record in the BAC twelfth. All right, McLevin, My worst

0:22:34.000 --> 0:22:37.199
<v Speaker 1>is actually gonna be college basketball, just college basketball. I

0:22:37.200 --> 0:22:39.560
<v Speaker 1>try to watch Villanova Providence this weekend. Oh, I was

0:22:39.600 --> 0:22:41.480
<v Speaker 1>watched a little bit of that. Yeah, and like Villanova

0:22:41.520 --> 0:22:43.200
<v Speaker 1>started off and they're supposed to be this great team,

0:22:43.280 --> 0:22:45.320
<v Speaker 1>and I tweeted, like this team is no good. And

0:22:45.359 --> 0:22:47.439
<v Speaker 1>they went on a forty nine to seven run after that.

0:22:48.000 --> 0:22:50.760
<v Speaker 1>But I'm having real trouble getting into it. My best

0:22:50.880 --> 0:22:53.159
<v Speaker 1>is going to be that everyone said it, the terryk kill,

0:22:53.280 --> 0:22:56.000
<v Speaker 1>Travis Kelcey Combo, Oh my gosh, how do you stop them?

0:22:56.080 --> 0:23:01.120
<v Speaker 1>When you're watching Tyree Hill run, There's that It's just different.

0:23:01.640 --> 0:23:05.920
<v Speaker 1>There's just something about it, and there's very very few

0:23:05.960 --> 0:23:09.040
<v Speaker 1>people in the world. When you watch the guys who

0:23:09.080 --> 0:23:12.400
<v Speaker 1>are covering him and chasing him, they're very fast too.

0:23:12.840 --> 0:23:16.320
<v Speaker 1>It's not like they run a five five forty And

0:23:17.200 --> 0:23:19.720
<v Speaker 1>it's not Rich Eisen out there trying to chase him down.

0:23:20.760 --> 0:23:23.720
<v Speaker 1>These are guys who probably run a four four four

0:23:23.920 --> 0:23:28.440
<v Speaker 1>four five, and he just makes them look like they're

0:23:29.040 --> 0:23:33.679
<v Speaker 1>standing still. Yeah. McClement. By the way, you've reminded me

0:23:33.760 --> 0:23:36.000
<v Speaker 1>no combine this year. Have you talked to Rich about

0:23:36.000 --> 0:23:39.080
<v Speaker 1>what he's gonna do? Yeah, it probably still stage something.

0:23:39.280 --> 0:23:40.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm good a guess. Can we invite him to the

0:23:40.800 --> 0:23:43.399
<v Speaker 1>man cave? See if he can now run us? We

0:23:43.480 --> 0:23:45.800
<v Speaker 1>got a four is our field forty yards it's close,

0:23:45.880 --> 0:23:49.680
<v Speaker 1>it's close. But you know, Rich doesn't like when you

0:23:49.720 --> 0:23:51.919
<v Speaker 1>bring up you know, hey, I could run a faster

0:23:52.080 --> 0:23:56.119
<v Speaker 1>forty yard dash than you like. It's about him doing

0:23:56.119 --> 0:24:00.080
<v Speaker 1>it and him raising money, you know, because do I

0:24:00.080 --> 0:24:03.400
<v Speaker 1>think that you know we could outrun him? Maybe you could,

0:24:03.480 --> 0:24:06.359
<v Speaker 1>mclove and I know that oh Seaton could seton, could

0:24:06.440 --> 0:24:11.199
<v Speaker 1>you could? Holy might just because he's competitive, I'll run Rich, Yeah,

0:24:11.240 --> 0:24:14.159
<v Speaker 1>I think so. I'd like to believe I can you

0:24:14.200 --> 0:24:16.520
<v Speaker 1>know him not fast. You could be your show. I

0:24:16.520 --> 0:24:19.680
<v Speaker 1>am competitive, though could because you were competitive no matter

0:24:19.680 --> 0:24:23.199
<v Speaker 1>where your knee is. I got an artificial knee. You know,

0:24:23.240 --> 0:24:25.520
<v Speaker 1>if we hit that clock, you would take off. I might.

0:24:26.760 --> 0:24:28.600
<v Speaker 1>I would want a piece of it. That's put it, though,

0:24:28.640 --> 0:24:32.920
<v Speaker 1>I like, I'll not even mentioned that I could keep

0:24:32.960 --> 0:24:34.360
<v Speaker 1>up with him. Do you want to run a forty

0:24:34.400 --> 0:24:37.679
<v Speaker 1>yard dash against Okay? Then why my lower back has

0:24:37.720 --> 0:24:40.040
<v Speaker 1>started hurting this morning? Now? So I don't involve you

0:24:40.160 --> 0:24:42.520
<v Speaker 1>because I don't want to say all taught you to

0:24:42.520 --> 0:24:44.639
<v Speaker 1>have no chance, and then I'll leave you out and

0:24:44.680 --> 0:24:47.199
<v Speaker 1>then you go, wow, how great. I don't even mention. Multimately,

0:24:47.200 --> 0:24:48.720
<v Speaker 1>I would probably lose that race, but I like to

0:24:48.720 --> 0:24:51.600
<v Speaker 1>be included in things. Seaton O'Connor. My worst of the

0:24:51.640 --> 0:24:54.840
<v Speaker 1>weekend was Chiefs wide receiver McCall Hardman and that fumble

0:24:56.000 --> 0:24:58.639
<v Speaker 1>await Man that was just brutal, watching him cover its

0:24:59.280 --> 0:25:02.000
<v Speaker 1>face up at the jacket, all of his teammates coming

0:25:02.040 --> 0:25:04.120
<v Speaker 1>over to him like consoling him. He just really felt

0:25:04.160 --> 0:25:06.760
<v Speaker 1>from in that moment. My best of the weekend though,

0:25:06.840 --> 0:25:09.120
<v Speaker 1>the way he rebounded from it, because nobody's really talking

0:25:09.119 --> 0:25:13.160
<v Speaker 1>about his contributions, but damn, that dude. Is electric's super

0:25:13.200 --> 0:25:15.720
<v Speaker 1>fast and just really good to see him sort of

0:25:15.800 --> 0:25:18.760
<v Speaker 1>gather himself. Yeah, you take that away from Buffalo, and

0:25:18.800 --> 0:25:22.240
<v Speaker 1>they didn't do much last night. They gift wrapped a

0:25:22.400 --> 0:25:25.040
<v Speaker 1>muffed punt. Paul Beston works. I don't know if this

0:25:25.080 --> 0:25:27.320
<v Speaker 1>is best or worst. For three quarters or three and

0:25:27.359 --> 0:25:29.800
<v Speaker 1>a half quarters. Rob Gronkowski did nothing. He didn't have

0:25:29.920 --> 0:25:31.879
<v Speaker 1>one target the entire game. I forgot he was in

0:25:31.920 --> 0:25:33.960
<v Speaker 1>the lineup. A lot of people did. He had one

0:25:34.040 --> 0:25:36.440
<v Speaker 1>target last night, but it was a twenty nine yard

0:25:36.440 --> 0:25:38.440
<v Speaker 1>catch where he dropped about four dude then got a

0:25:38.480 --> 0:25:40.960
<v Speaker 1>first down. So the good job by grond All. The

0:25:41.000 --> 0:25:43.120
<v Speaker 1>best of the weekend Wide receiver Scottie Miller of Tampa.

0:25:43.160 --> 0:25:44.879
<v Speaker 1>A lot of people think he's a slot receiver like

0:25:44.920 --> 0:25:48.280
<v Speaker 1>Wes Welker or Brandon Stokely in those type of guys. Well,

0:25:48.400 --> 0:25:50.680
<v Speaker 1>if you go back to his draft profile by lanceier

0:25:50.720 --> 0:25:54.600
<v Speaker 1>Line on NFL dot com, his strength former track man

0:25:54.600 --> 0:25:57.600
<v Speaker 1>with legit speed, ran a four three nine forty early

0:25:57.720 --> 0:26:01.040
<v Speaker 1>and late acceleration that can blow past our backs. Very

0:26:01.080 --> 0:26:03.199
<v Speaker 1>athletic and loose in his movements. Are you sure this

0:26:03.240 --> 0:26:06.040
<v Speaker 1>is Scotty Miller weaknesses? You're not gonna believe this needs

0:26:06.040 --> 0:26:10.440
<v Speaker 1>to improve rot running Scout's considered about durability, those are

0:26:10.520 --> 0:26:13.040
<v Speaker 1>that's not wes Welkrish, that's a complete opposite. And then

0:26:13.040 --> 0:26:15.520
<v Speaker 1>you have Ryan Clark and the Mothership former defensive Beck

0:26:15.560 --> 0:26:17.880
<v Speaker 1>who's joining his top of the Hour he tweeted yesterday,

0:26:17.880 --> 0:26:20.680
<v Speaker 1>Scotty Miller is not like any of those new England receivers.

0:26:20.680 --> 0:26:23.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm tired of telling folks that nothing about number ten

0:26:23.960 --> 0:26:26.760
<v Speaker 1>says bring his lunch pail first in last out, coach

0:26:26.800 --> 0:26:29.080
<v Speaker 1>on the field reads the zone due to as a

0:26:29.160 --> 0:26:35.520
<v Speaker 1>burner address him as such. Lol. Al in Atlanta, Hi All,

0:26:35.640 --> 0:26:38.520
<v Speaker 1>what's on your mind today? Hey? Dan? Have you Monday?

0:26:38.520 --> 0:26:42.600
<v Speaker 1>Thank you? Got two worse in a best The first

0:26:42.640 --> 0:26:46.120
<v Speaker 1>worse is losing Hank Aaron and Larry King on back

0:26:46.160 --> 0:26:48.840
<v Speaker 1>to back days last week and having it be so

0:26:48.960 --> 0:26:52.200
<v Speaker 1>close to the anniversary of Kobe Death's Kobe Bryant's death.

0:26:52.800 --> 0:26:54.959
<v Speaker 1>Losing all three of those men who I looked up

0:26:55.000 --> 0:26:57.600
<v Speaker 1>to professionally and personally, We're going to make this week

0:26:57.640 --> 0:27:01.480
<v Speaker 1>in January a tough one for years to come. Second

0:27:01.480 --> 0:27:05.560
<v Speaker 1>worse was how can the referee sit on their hands

0:27:06.040 --> 0:27:09.960
<v Speaker 1>through four quarters of tugging and hand checking and then

0:27:10.000 --> 0:27:13.080
<v Speaker 1>throw a flag at the most crucial time in the game,

0:27:13.640 --> 0:27:17.200
<v Speaker 1>taking away my friend Joe and I having our birth

0:27:17.240 --> 0:27:24.159
<v Speaker 1>home Bowl. And worse or sorry, best is while we

0:27:24.160 --> 0:27:26.200
<v Speaker 1>didn't get the State Farm Bowl we were hoping for,

0:27:26.920 --> 0:27:30.119
<v Speaker 1>I still get to watch the Chiefs take on Tommy

0:27:30.160 --> 0:27:32.480
<v Speaker 1>and the Tucks, and we get to have the goat

0:27:32.640 --> 0:27:36.479
<v Speaker 1>versus the kid in a true answer of what's actually

0:27:36.520 --> 0:27:41.560
<v Speaker 1>better age and knowledge or youth and exuberance. All right, well,

0:27:41.600 --> 0:27:45.000
<v Speaker 1>thank you. Took a while for that one to get out. Exubrians,

0:27:46.119 --> 0:27:50.320
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, we'll have some time to debate them. Yes, Paul,

0:27:50.880 --> 0:27:52.800
<v Speaker 1>I couldn't spell xubers. If you gave me like an

0:27:52.840 --> 0:27:55.520
<v Speaker 1>hour to think about it, I think if I had

0:27:55.560 --> 0:27:59.080
<v Speaker 1>him do it again, he wouldn't use that word. Julie

0:27:59.160 --> 0:28:03.640
<v Speaker 1>in Minnesota, Julie, how are you great? What's on your mind?

0:28:04.359 --> 0:28:07.400
<v Speaker 1>Good deal? I have to say this to you. With

0:28:07.520 --> 0:28:11.159
<v Speaker 1>COVID and everything going on, there's been like a um

0:28:11.320 --> 0:28:16.119
<v Speaker 1>carousel of like quarterbacks bear with me, the song Reunited

0:28:16.400 --> 0:28:27.439
<v Speaker 1>and it feels so good and Mike McCarthy Gallice, thank you. Julie.

0:28:28.720 --> 0:28:34.359
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, she just blew my head off. Aaron

0:28:34.440 --> 0:28:38.520
<v Speaker 1>Rodgers does not want to reunite with Mike McCarthy endowment.

0:28:38.640 --> 0:28:40.360
<v Speaker 1>For some reason, I have a memory of that not ending.

0:28:40.680 --> 0:28:44.160
<v Speaker 1>Didn't end well, I don't know, but I think Aaron

0:28:44.520 --> 0:28:47.360
<v Speaker 1>has a better chance of getting back with Dannika Patrick

0:28:47.480 --> 0:28:52.400
<v Speaker 1>than he does with Mike McCarthy. Too soon, Okay, necessary, right, Mike,

0:28:53.960 --> 0:28:57.479
<v Speaker 1>Olivia Munn how's that? Okay? Okay? Yes, Milo, that was

0:28:57.520 --> 0:29:00.840
<v Speaker 1>the entire football conversation my household was Aaron Rodgers love life.

0:29:00.840 --> 0:29:02.080
<v Speaker 1>By the way, I don't know if that came up

0:29:02.120 --> 0:29:04.920
<v Speaker 1>when you guys are watching the game. It did not. Yeah,

0:29:04.960 --> 0:29:08.080
<v Speaker 1>Shyleene Woodley has not been well reviewed by my wife.

0:29:08.640 --> 0:29:12.160
<v Speaker 1>That's who. That's who was dating little lies. Yes, well

0:29:12.200 --> 0:29:14.560
<v Speaker 1>that are you sure that I know that was rumored?

0:29:14.720 --> 0:29:18.280
<v Speaker 1>Oh that's okay. I don't know. I don't you don't

0:29:18.320 --> 0:29:21.320
<v Speaker 1>know that. No, it's gonna I know that that was rumored,

0:29:22.240 --> 0:29:25.080
<v Speaker 1>but I don't know. I need another source on it.

0:29:25.240 --> 0:29:28.520
<v Speaker 1>Of course, my wife is a huge Bachelorette fan, and

0:29:28.760 --> 0:29:31.960
<v Speaker 1>Georgian Rogers was chosen in that, and she's worried about

0:29:31.960 --> 0:29:35.400
<v Speaker 1>Aaron's disagreements with his family. But you're pinning that on

0:29:35.480 --> 0:29:38.600
<v Speaker 1>your wife, that she's a huge Bachelor fan. But you watch.

0:29:38.680 --> 0:29:40.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm in the room. I'm being supportive of my wife

0:29:40.960 --> 0:29:44.200
<v Speaker 1>by watch it. Yeah, it's not just any game. It's

0:29:44.200 --> 0:29:47.360
<v Speaker 1>Wednesday Night hockey this week Blackhawks Predators Wednesday night at

0:29:47.360 --> 0:29:52.240
<v Speaker 1>seven thirty Eastern on NBC. Yes, yeah, Hunter in Wisconsin.

0:29:52.320 --> 0:29:56.480
<v Speaker 1>I Hunter, what's on your mind today? Good morning Hunter.

0:30:00.200 --> 0:30:04.120
<v Speaker 1>I got worse and worse this weekend. Worse obviously losing

0:30:04.160 --> 0:30:07.360
<v Speaker 1>Hankcaron on Friday and Idol of Mine, and then the

0:30:07.440 --> 0:30:11.120
<v Speaker 1>Packers losing last night. I don't want to act like

0:30:11.200 --> 0:30:13.800
<v Speaker 1>it's woe is me because I'm a Packer fan. We've

0:30:13.800 --> 0:30:16.760
<v Speaker 1>been winning a lot all that stuff. But two of

0:30:16.800 --> 0:30:20.480
<v Speaker 1>the best quarterbacks in the history of football twenty five

0:30:20.600 --> 0:30:22.880
<v Speaker 1>plus years and they have two rings to show for.

0:30:23.000 --> 0:30:26.640
<v Speaker 1>It is just kind of sad. Yeah. I always wondered

0:30:26.640 --> 0:30:29.440
<v Speaker 1>if we would look back on Aaron Rodgers career as

0:30:29.480 --> 0:30:31.880
<v Speaker 1>to what could have been, because I don't think that

0:30:31.960 --> 0:30:35.280
<v Speaker 1>the Packers front office was ever offensive minded from the

0:30:35.320 --> 0:30:41.840
<v Speaker 1>skill position standpoint. But that's all, you know, it'll be

0:30:41.880 --> 0:30:45.480
<v Speaker 1>a shame. It's like Peyton Manning got a second. You know,

0:30:45.520 --> 0:30:47.480
<v Speaker 1>he was along for the ride, but he got a second.

0:30:48.640 --> 0:30:52.000
<v Speaker 1>Drew Brees not going to get a second. Rogers probably

0:30:52.040 --> 0:30:55.400
<v Speaker 1>not going to get a second, but you would think

0:30:55.440 --> 0:30:58.160
<v Speaker 1>with Brett Favan Aaron Rodgers, you would have more than

0:30:58.200 --> 0:31:01.120
<v Speaker 1>two Super Bowls to show for two of the top

0:31:01.440 --> 0:31:06.240
<v Speaker 1>ten quarterbacks fifteen quarterbacks of all time. And you know,

0:31:06.280 --> 0:31:08.680
<v Speaker 1>we spent a lot of time on Friday talking about

0:31:09.680 --> 0:31:11.600
<v Speaker 1>Hank Aaron. In the last hour, I brought back an

0:31:11.600 --> 0:31:14.240
<v Speaker 1>interview that I did from earlier this year in April,

0:31:14.280 --> 0:31:17.080
<v Speaker 1>and I dearly love the man. I you know, it's

0:31:17.080 --> 0:31:18.560
<v Speaker 1>not one of those I didn't get a chance to

0:31:18.600 --> 0:31:21.920
<v Speaker 1>cover him. I just looked up to him. I admired him.

0:31:21.960 --> 0:31:24.000
<v Speaker 1>I loved his temperament. I love what he did, I

0:31:24.080 --> 0:31:26.920
<v Speaker 1>love how he did it. And there was just something

0:31:27.000 --> 0:31:29.680
<v Speaker 1>about he played the game. He didn't ask for anything.

0:31:30.520 --> 0:31:32.440
<v Speaker 1>He gave you everything. He didn't ask for anything. He

0:31:32.520 --> 0:31:39.280
<v Speaker 1>was just a great representative ambassador of the sport of baseball.

0:31:39.280 --> 0:31:42.640
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if baseball did its part to return

0:31:42.720 --> 0:31:46.840
<v Speaker 1>the favor and Larry King. I remember my first job.

0:31:47.240 --> 0:31:50.239
<v Speaker 1>I did morning drive radio in Dayton, Ohio, and I

0:31:50.280 --> 0:31:52.920
<v Speaker 1>would come in usually around four thirty in the morning,

0:31:53.240 --> 0:31:55.280
<v Speaker 1>and I would listen to Larry King when he had

0:31:55.320 --> 0:31:58.480
<v Speaker 1>his overnight radio show, and I just remember he would

0:31:58.520 --> 0:32:03.280
<v Speaker 1>be like open phone America, Houston, Hello. And I just

0:32:03.440 --> 0:32:07.800
<v Speaker 1>was always fascinated that Larry would interview a variety of people.

0:32:08.080 --> 0:32:12.520
<v Speaker 1>It was very curious about people and wasn't afraid of

0:32:12.560 --> 0:32:18.480
<v Speaker 1>asking a strange, difficult, tough question. And he interviewed everybody,

0:32:19.520 --> 0:32:23.720
<v Speaker 1>fifty thousand interviews. Whatever it is, who knows. We'll take

0:32:23.760 --> 0:32:26.400
<v Speaker 1>a break. We'll talk to Ariel Helwani from the Mother's

0:32:26.400 --> 0:32:30.360
<v Speaker 1>Ship about what's next for Connor McGregor. Connor McGregor got

0:32:30.440 --> 0:32:33.240
<v Speaker 1>knocked out over the weekend, so we'll talk to him.

0:32:33.280 --> 0:32:35.680
<v Speaker 1>Coming up and top of the hour, Ryan Clark from

0:32:35.720 --> 0:32:38.160
<v Speaker 1>the Mother's Ship will join us. We'll talk some football

<v Speaker 1>he covers the sport of MMA UFC for the Mother's

0:33:07.840 --> 0:33:11.720
<v Speaker 1>Ship and he was there to cover the conn of

0:33:11.800 --> 0:33:16.480
<v Speaker 1>McGregor fight this weekend Dustin Pourier, and he set to

0:33:16.560 --> 0:33:18.560
<v Speaker 1>join us here on the program. More phone calls coming

0:33:18.640 --> 0:33:22.920
<v Speaker 1>up as well, What did you expect to happen this weekend? Ariel?

0:33:24.040 --> 0:33:26.400
<v Speaker 1>If I'm being honest, I expected Connor McGregor to win

0:33:26.440 --> 0:33:30.120
<v Speaker 1>that fight. And that's no knock on Dustin Pourier. I

0:33:30.200 --> 0:33:32.720
<v Speaker 1>just thought, considering how their first fight went six and

0:33:32.760 --> 0:33:36.040
<v Speaker 1>a half years ago, and considering how Connor looked and

0:33:36.080 --> 0:33:37.760
<v Speaker 1>how he felt and what he was saying, I thought

0:33:37.800 --> 0:33:40.680
<v Speaker 1>he was going to win. But I'm not surprised, and

0:33:41.040 --> 0:33:44.240
<v Speaker 1>it really bothered me to hear the disrespect that Dustin

0:33:44.360 --> 0:33:46.160
<v Speaker 1>was getting leading up to this fight, because I think

0:33:46.160 --> 0:33:48.160
<v Speaker 1>a lot of casual fans just tuned in for Connor

0:33:48.200 --> 0:33:50.080
<v Speaker 1>fights and they say, oh, he beat him six and

0:33:50.160 --> 0:33:52.160
<v Speaker 1>a half years ago in less than two minutes, it's

0:33:52.160 --> 0:33:54.200
<v Speaker 1>going to be a cakewalk. Dustin Pourier is one of

0:33:54.200 --> 0:33:56.840
<v Speaker 1>the ten best fighters on the planet and no one

0:33:56.880 --> 0:33:59.080
<v Speaker 1>should really be shocked by what he did on Saturday.

0:33:59.120 --> 0:34:01.080
<v Speaker 1>But if you're a casual fans, should you want to

0:34:01.120 --> 0:34:04.680
<v Speaker 1>know more about Pourier or the condition of McGregor as

0:34:04.720 --> 0:34:08.960
<v Speaker 1>he moves forward in his career. I mean, obviously Connor's

0:34:09.000 --> 0:34:10.840
<v Speaker 1>the biggest star in the history of the sports, so

0:34:10.880 --> 0:34:14.279
<v Speaker 1>I think his next move is probably what's of most

0:34:14.320 --> 0:34:17.400
<v Speaker 1>interest to fans. You know, we live in this culture.

0:34:17.600 --> 0:34:20.480
<v Speaker 1>One thing that really bothers me is especially with fighting. Um,

0:34:20.760 --> 0:34:23.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, these memes and stuff of him being you know,

0:34:23.440 --> 0:34:26.640
<v Speaker 1>knocked out on the ground and mocking the fighters and

0:34:26.680 --> 0:34:28.839
<v Speaker 1>stuff like that. Like, I think people are reveling in

0:34:28.880 --> 0:34:31.279
<v Speaker 1>his quote unquote demise. I think I was on your

0:34:31.320 --> 0:34:35.040
<v Speaker 1>show the Monday after his first fight, his first loss

0:34:35.080 --> 0:34:37.720
<v Speaker 1>to Nathan Diaz, and everyone back then in twenty sixteen

0:34:37.800 --> 0:34:39.600
<v Speaker 1>was reveling in his demise. And what did he do.

0:34:39.640 --> 0:34:41.719
<v Speaker 1>He dusted himself off and he won the rematch. So

0:34:41.920 --> 0:34:45.080
<v Speaker 1>I suspect the same thing will happen here. He's embraced

0:34:45.080 --> 0:34:50.760
<v Speaker 1>the bad guy, right, honestly, if you're the villain, the villain,

0:34:50.800 --> 0:34:53.759
<v Speaker 1>how's that? You know what? In the in the in

0:34:53.800 --> 0:34:57.640
<v Speaker 1>the past, yes, but the last year or so, we

0:34:57.719 --> 0:35:00.279
<v Speaker 1>have seen a change in his demeanor and in his

0:35:00.400 --> 0:35:03.239
<v Speaker 1>character so to speak. First of all, like this fight

0:35:03.400 --> 0:35:06.920
<v Speaker 1>started with him pledging to donate five hundred thousand dollars

0:35:07.040 --> 0:35:10.799
<v Speaker 1>to Dustin's charity. Dustin has this amazing charity in Louisiana

0:35:10.840 --> 0:35:13.640
<v Speaker 1>called the Good Fight Foundation, where he builds playgrounds and

0:35:13.800 --> 0:35:16.680
<v Speaker 1>helps kids less fortunate. So that's how this really started.

0:35:16.680 --> 0:35:18.920
<v Speaker 1>So he is donating five hundred thousand dollars. He's done

0:35:18.920 --> 0:35:21.200
<v Speaker 1>a lot for his community back home in Ireland. He

0:35:21.320 --> 0:35:23.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean, if you look at the talk leading up

0:35:23.080 --> 0:35:24.640
<v Speaker 1>to the fight, there was no trash doc If you

0:35:24.640 --> 0:35:27.160
<v Speaker 1>look at the video and the scenes after the fight,

0:35:27.280 --> 0:35:30.279
<v Speaker 1>no trash talk, hugging saying I'm happy for you. So

0:35:30.520 --> 0:35:34.640
<v Speaker 1>this isn't the Connor who fought Floyd. He's trying to change. Now.

0:35:34.640 --> 0:35:37.920
<v Speaker 1>If he fights a guy like Habib, who he intensely hates,

0:35:38.360 --> 0:35:42.480
<v Speaker 1>I suspect the old Connor could come back. Yeah, but

0:35:42.560 --> 0:35:45.400
<v Speaker 1>that is that good for the sport that Connor McGregor

0:35:45.520 --> 0:35:49.880
<v Speaker 1>is the new and improved Connor McGregor. So leading up

0:35:49.880 --> 0:35:51.719
<v Speaker 1>to this fight, I had a lot of people say like, oh,

0:35:51.760 --> 0:35:53.919
<v Speaker 1>I missed the trash talking Connor right like I want

0:35:53.920 --> 0:35:57.120
<v Speaker 1>the showman. I want the braggadocious guy who's going to

0:35:57.200 --> 0:36:00.600
<v Speaker 1>go out there and hurl these insults. I personally think

0:36:00.640 --> 0:36:03.640
<v Speaker 1>that he fights better this way. But maybe there's something

0:36:03.680 --> 0:36:05.840
<v Speaker 1>to be said for going back to the old Connor.

0:36:05.920 --> 0:36:08.239
<v Speaker 1>Maybe there's something to be said for that guy who was,

0:36:08.280 --> 0:36:10.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, poking the bear, trying to climb the ladder,

0:36:10.800 --> 0:36:12.680
<v Speaker 1>trying to get everyone's attention. Maybe that gave him a

0:36:12.680 --> 0:36:14.640
<v Speaker 1>little umph. I feel like that's looking into it a

0:36:14.680 --> 0:36:16.719
<v Speaker 1>little too much. But yes, there's no doubt about it.

0:36:16.800 --> 0:36:18.960
<v Speaker 1>People fell in love with this guy not because he

0:36:19.000 --> 0:36:21.520
<v Speaker 1>was donating money to his opponent's charity. They fell in

0:36:21.560 --> 0:36:23.920
<v Speaker 1>love with him because he was, you know, calling people's

0:36:24.040 --> 0:36:26.239
<v Speaker 1>names and and and pretty much turning the whole sport

0:36:26.280 --> 0:36:28.319
<v Speaker 1>upside down. So yes, there's absolutely a point to be

0:36:28.360 --> 0:36:32.200
<v Speaker 1>made there. Did could be get McGregor's attention? Do you

0:36:32.280 --> 0:36:35.040
<v Speaker 1>think when he kind of called like, I'm trying to

0:36:35.160 --> 0:36:38.319
<v Speaker 1>understand this because he's just saying, basically, hey, come on,

0:36:38.520 --> 0:36:40.120
<v Speaker 1>you know you got something to say, come on in

0:36:40.280 --> 0:36:44.360
<v Speaker 1>let's you know, if I'm colbeb, I'm going like why Yeah,

0:36:44.360 --> 0:36:46.480
<v Speaker 1>So you know, this whole thing has been sort of

0:36:46.480 --> 0:36:49.640
<v Speaker 1>blown out of proportion. You were called. Back in July

0:36:49.760 --> 0:36:52.000
<v Speaker 1>of twenty and ten, at the Boys and Girls Club

0:36:52.040 --> 0:36:55.080
<v Speaker 1>in Stanford, Connecticut, there was something dubbed as the decision.

0:36:55.160 --> 0:36:57.960
<v Speaker 1>You remember that, right, I vaguely recall that, Yes, yeah,

0:36:57.960 --> 0:37:00.000
<v Speaker 1>we found out if Lebron likes to bite his name

0:37:00.239 --> 0:37:03.960
<v Speaker 1>and all that stuff. Well, this was worse than that decision.

0:37:04.040 --> 0:37:05.880
<v Speaker 1>I never thought i'd see a worse decision than the

0:37:05.920 --> 0:37:08.040
<v Speaker 1>one in twenty ten, But what they've done with Habib

0:37:08.160 --> 0:37:10.520
<v Speaker 1>has been worse because there is no decision to be made.

0:37:10.640 --> 0:37:13.759
<v Speaker 1>This guy has been very clear about his intentions. His

0:37:13.880 --> 0:37:16.840
<v Speaker 1>father passed away. His mother, who he's very close to,

0:37:16.960 --> 0:37:18.759
<v Speaker 1>has said, I don't want you to fight without your

0:37:18.760 --> 0:37:21.200
<v Speaker 1>father by your side, and he is respecting that. We

0:37:21.239 --> 0:37:23.000
<v Speaker 1>need to leave the guy alone. We need to let

0:37:23.080 --> 0:37:24.920
<v Speaker 1>him go off onto the sunset. If he wants to

0:37:24.960 --> 0:37:27.120
<v Speaker 1>come back in two years, great, but take the belt

0:37:27.160 --> 0:37:30.120
<v Speaker 1>away vacated. To be honest, this fight on Saturday should

0:37:30.120 --> 0:37:32.200
<v Speaker 1>have been for the vacant title. And so I don't

0:37:32.200 --> 0:37:33.759
<v Speaker 1>think he's coming back. I don't think he was coming

0:37:33.760 --> 0:37:36.000
<v Speaker 1>back if connorwan, and I certainly don't think he's coming

0:37:36.000 --> 0:37:38.520
<v Speaker 1>back now that Dustin Pouria won. Because he beat Dustin

0:37:38.560 --> 0:37:41.760
<v Speaker 1>Pourrie in twenty nineteen. There's really no reason, no purpose

0:37:41.800 --> 0:37:42.960
<v Speaker 1>for him to come back at this time. And I

0:37:42.960 --> 0:37:45.120
<v Speaker 1>wish they would just leave him alone. How would you

0:37:45.120 --> 0:37:49.880
<v Speaker 1>sum up the last ten months for UFC. Oh, my gosh,

0:37:49.920 --> 0:37:51.880
<v Speaker 1>it has been a whirlwind. So, as you know, they

0:37:51.880 --> 0:37:53.560
<v Speaker 1>were the first ones to come back. They wanted to

0:37:53.560 --> 0:37:56.200
<v Speaker 1>come back in April, they were told to stand down

0:37:56.280 --> 0:37:59.480
<v Speaker 1>by Disney in the state of California. Danooyd forged on,

0:38:00.280 --> 0:38:02.520
<v Speaker 1>much to the chagrin of some. He put on the

0:38:02.560 --> 0:38:05.600
<v Speaker 1>events in Florida and then in Vegas and a Nabu Dhabi.

0:38:06.160 --> 0:38:09.040
<v Speaker 1>I think that as a result of being first, and

0:38:09.080 --> 0:38:11.839
<v Speaker 1>though they rolled the dice and I even had reservations

0:38:11.840 --> 0:38:13.960
<v Speaker 1>about them coming so soon, coming back so soon in

0:38:14.040 --> 0:38:17.279
<v Speaker 1>the pandemic, they have. They have earned a lot of

0:38:17.320 --> 0:38:19.799
<v Speaker 1>new fans and a lot of people who never spoke

0:38:19.840 --> 0:38:22.840
<v Speaker 1>to me about MMA, friends, family, neighbors now love the

0:38:22.880 --> 0:38:25.600
<v Speaker 1>sport because in May, June and July there was nothing

0:38:25.640 --> 0:38:27.719
<v Speaker 1>going on, there was nothing to gamble on, and they

0:38:27.760 --> 0:38:29.759
<v Speaker 1>fell in love with the sports. So the UFC capitalized

0:38:29.760 --> 0:38:32.000
<v Speaker 1>on that. And if you if you look at the

0:38:32.040 --> 0:38:33.839
<v Speaker 1>numbers for this pay per view, they're saying one point

0:38:33.840 --> 0:38:36.560
<v Speaker 1>six to one point eight million, that's a smashing success.

0:38:37.280 --> 0:38:42.239
<v Speaker 1>Lind does a fighter get old in UFC? Well, you know,

0:38:42.600 --> 0:38:45.960
<v Speaker 1>my co host Daniel Cormier is a forty one and

0:38:46.040 --> 0:38:48.920
<v Speaker 1>he just retired and he was a two time Olympian,

0:38:49.239 --> 0:38:52.600
<v Speaker 1>So it depends on your career. It also depends on

0:38:52.640 --> 0:38:54.440
<v Speaker 1>the damage that you take. You know, there's a lot

0:38:54.440 --> 0:38:57.239
<v Speaker 1>of guys who get into these firefights each and every

0:38:57.239 --> 0:39:00.919
<v Speaker 1>time they fight, and come thirty one thirty three, they

0:39:00.960 --> 0:39:03.440
<v Speaker 1>start to slow down. You have other guys like Khabib,

0:39:03.680 --> 0:39:06.480
<v Speaker 1>who's in his early thirties, who's taken almost no damage

0:39:06.520 --> 0:39:08.759
<v Speaker 1>start his career, and I suspect he could fight into

0:39:08.800 --> 0:39:11.320
<v Speaker 1>his forties. Connor, this was his first time that he

0:39:11.400 --> 0:39:13.960
<v Speaker 1>had ever been kote or t kot. He had never

0:39:14.000 --> 0:39:15.920
<v Speaker 1>really taken this kind of damage in a fight. I mean,

0:39:15.960 --> 0:39:18.359
<v Speaker 1>of course he's been submitted, but that's different, right, So

0:39:18.440 --> 0:39:19.920
<v Speaker 1>I was saying, you know, if he still wants to

0:39:19.920 --> 0:39:21.800
<v Speaker 1>do this, he could do this into his late thirties,

0:39:21.960 --> 0:39:23.480
<v Speaker 1>So it really depends. I mean, one of the greatest

0:39:23.480 --> 0:39:26.040
<v Speaker 1>fighters of all time, Randy Coutur, started fighting in his

0:39:26.120 --> 0:39:29.640
<v Speaker 1>mid thirties and went into his mid forties. So it's

0:39:29.760 --> 0:39:32.600
<v Speaker 1>it's not quite like baseball, basketball, football, where you know,

0:39:32.640 --> 0:39:34.560
<v Speaker 1>you start when you're early twenties and then you're kind

0:39:34.600 --> 0:39:36.560
<v Speaker 1>of done by your mid to late thirties. It's a

0:39:36.560 --> 0:39:38.480
<v Speaker 1>little different in that regard. I was talking to the

0:39:38.520 --> 0:39:40.560
<v Speaker 1>wife last night and we were wondering where we could

0:39:40.600 --> 0:39:43.120
<v Speaker 1>take the kids, and I was wondering, can you vacation

0:39:43.520 --> 0:39:48.560
<v Speaker 1>on fight Fight Island if you have a lot of

0:39:48.560 --> 0:39:51.360
<v Speaker 1>money and also if you, I think, if you have

0:39:51.440 --> 0:39:54.880
<v Speaker 1>some connections. You know, Fight Island is not really like

0:39:54.920 --> 0:39:57.480
<v Speaker 1>a fight. It's just a place. It's it's it's brilliant

0:39:57.480 --> 0:39:59.839
<v Speaker 1>marketing on the their part. They have been to quote

0:40:00.040 --> 0:40:02.080
<v Speaker 1>quote Fight Island many times in the past. In fact,

0:40:02.120 --> 0:40:05.120
<v Speaker 1>I was there eleven years ago. It's Yah's Island in

0:40:05.239 --> 0:40:08.560
<v Speaker 1>Abu Dhabi, and you know, the geniuses at the UFC

0:40:09.040 --> 0:40:11.640
<v Speaker 1>dubbed did Fight Island and to their credit, it caught on.

0:40:11.920 --> 0:40:14.319
<v Speaker 1>But they did have fans in attendance, so people did

0:40:15.160 --> 0:40:18.239
<v Speaker 1>did fly in from all over they said, and you

0:40:18.280 --> 0:40:20.440
<v Speaker 1>know they had around two thousand for this fight. The

0:40:20.520 --> 0:40:23.560
<v Speaker 1>prices were astronomical, like I think that the cheapest ticket

0:40:23.640 --> 0:40:26.120
<v Speaker 1>was like two thousand, twenty five hundred something like that.

0:40:26.320 --> 0:40:28.960
<v Speaker 1>So yes, you could go to Abu Dhabi, Dubai and

0:40:29.000 --> 0:40:30.640
<v Speaker 1>if you look at the scenes over there, it seems

0:40:30.640 --> 0:40:32.680
<v Speaker 1>like they're handling the pandemic a little better than we

0:40:32.719 --> 0:40:35.080
<v Speaker 1>are over here. But you're not really going to see

0:40:35.160 --> 0:40:36.799
<v Speaker 1>much if you go to quote unquote Fight Island because

0:40:36.840 --> 0:40:38.719
<v Speaker 1>it's basically just an arena in a hotel. Yeah, as

0:40:38.760 --> 0:40:40.959
<v Speaker 1>long as it's all inclusive. That's what my wife wanted

0:40:41.000 --> 0:40:43.080
<v Speaker 1>to know. You know, like we can do a ground

0:40:43.080 --> 0:40:46.919
<v Speaker 1>and Pound restaurant. It could be like a steakhouse. Yes,

0:40:47.600 --> 0:40:51.160
<v Speaker 1>little arm bar. Yeah, the arm bar. I love that.

0:40:54.920 --> 0:40:56.200
<v Speaker 1>Great out of that off the top of my head,

0:40:56.200 --> 0:40:58.600
<v Speaker 1>by the way, No, that's well done. Hey, I would

0:40:58.640 --> 0:41:02.720
<v Speaker 1>grab it. I'd trademark that thing, the armbar. Let Connor McGregor,

0:41:02.800 --> 0:41:05.600
<v Speaker 1>know you know what, I think he's doing pretty well

0:41:05.640 --> 0:41:08.040
<v Speaker 1>with his whiskey and all his other endeavors. I might

0:41:08.080 --> 0:41:09.920
<v Speaker 1>hold on to that one. Dana White will probably watch

0:41:10.000 --> 0:41:12.160
<v Speaker 1>this and steal it in trade market within the next

0:41:12.200 --> 0:41:14.960
<v Speaker 1>ten minutes. Though, great to talk to, Ariel. Thanks for

0:41:15.040 --> 0:41:18.319
<v Speaker 1>joining us as always, buddy, anytime. Thank you. I like

0:41:18.440 --> 0:41:22.240
<v Speaker 1>that the armbar Ariel hell Wannie could have different drinks

0:41:22.320 --> 0:41:26.839
<v Speaker 1>named after MMA fighters there. You know, Connor McGregor helped

0:41:26.840 --> 0:41:29.960
<v Speaker 1>build the UFC and a multibillion dollar company. But you know,

0:41:29.960 --> 0:41:33.479
<v Speaker 1>when stars decline, you got to find that next star.

0:41:34.600 --> 0:41:38.359
<v Speaker 1>And look, he's only thirty two, still has the star

0:41:38.440 --> 0:41:40.640
<v Speaker 1>power to be the biggest draw in this sport by far.

0:41:41.640 --> 0:41:45.480
<v Speaker 1>Do I think he's done? No, But are his better

0:41:45.560 --> 0:41:48.319
<v Speaker 1>days behind him? Yes, But that doesn't mean he can't

0:41:48.320 --> 0:41:52.200
<v Speaker 1>win again. But he can also draw. Although the nicer

0:41:52.480 --> 0:41:56.600
<v Speaker 1>Connor McGregor donating money to charity, that's not what we're

0:41:56.680 --> 0:42:00.359
<v Speaker 1>used to buying into. You don't read about those things,

0:42:00.480 --> 0:42:03.959
<v Speaker 1>but you know this happens all the time. Muhammad Ali

0:42:04.040 --> 0:42:06.799
<v Speaker 1>and then we waited, would we ever find a Muhammed Ali?

0:42:07.400 --> 0:42:11.399
<v Speaker 1>Mike Tyson came along. You know, they come in, they

0:42:11.480 --> 0:42:14.560
<v Speaker 1>grab the sport by the throat, and then after a while,

0:42:15.120 --> 0:42:20.040
<v Speaker 1>the sport you know, discards them. But you know, eventually

0:42:20.040 --> 0:42:22.000
<v Speaker 1>the days of building off Connor McGregor are going to

0:42:22.080 --> 0:42:25.680
<v Speaker 1>come to an end, and you start to think, who

0:42:25.800 --> 0:42:28.520
<v Speaker 1>is next? Is there somebody out there? And I know

0:42:28.600 --> 0:42:31.319
<v Speaker 1>within the circles, the inner circles of USC they'll tell

0:42:31.320 --> 0:42:33.560
<v Speaker 1>you all this person or this person, this I'm talking

0:42:33.560 --> 0:42:37.040
<v Speaker 1>about somebody who's a crossover star where somebody who doesn't

0:42:37.080 --> 0:42:41.560
<v Speaker 1>watch the sport will pay to watch the sport. There's

0:42:41.640 --> 0:42:45.279
<v Speaker 1>very few of those athletes that crossover power where you go.

0:42:45.840 --> 0:42:50.760
<v Speaker 1>I don't like golf, but I'll watch Tiger Woods. Ryan
