1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:04,000
Speaker 1: Please don't listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio.

2
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:08,360
Speaker 2: Living the dream once again here on a fabulous Saturday

3
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:11,240
Speaker 2: day before the big Game.

4
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:15,400
Speaker 3: This is Fox Football Saturday. And well, I'll tell you

5
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:18,360
Speaker 3: one thing. We are getting ready for a matchup that

6
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:23,079
Speaker 3: absolutely no one could have predicted before the season, and

7
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:25,680
Speaker 3: now we are here. It will be the New England

8
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 3: Patriots going up against the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl sixty. Now,

9
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 3: if I read this right, this is the first Super

10
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:41,920
Speaker 3: Bowl matchup in more than forty years featuring two teams

11
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 3: that had preseason Super Bowl odds of fifty to one

12
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:50,279
Speaker 3: or more. This goes back to Super Bowl sixteen when

13
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 3: the forty nine Ers and the Bengals faced off at

14
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 3: the old Silverdome out there in Detroit.

15
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 2: Outside of Detroit, that we had.

16
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 3: Two teams preseason Super Bowl odds at better than fifty

17
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 3: to one actually matched up in the Big Game. And

18
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:09,400
Speaker 3: as we've been talking about this game over the last

19
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 3: couple of weeks, and no one has covered it.

20
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 2: Like us here at Fox Sports Radio.

21
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 3: Lot of the guys, ladies, everyone, all the gang up

22
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:21,759
Speaker 3: there hanging out in the San Francisco area. The thing

23
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 3: that has dawn on me personally and I have watched

24
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:34,639
Speaker 3: every Super Bowl since super Bowl two. That's right, super

25
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 3: Bowl two, we didn't even call the super Bowl back then,

26
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:41,399
Speaker 3: was the AFL NFL championship game between the Packers and

27
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 3: the Raiders back in the day. And I have covered

28
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 3: on site Super Bowl twenty six Super bowls over the year.

29
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 3: So I've done a lot of these over the years.

30
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 3: And as we get ready for this matchup between the

31
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 3: Seahawks and the Patriots, all I'm reminded is the immortal

32
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 3: words of the late Gray Pete Roselle for thirty years

33
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 3: the commissioner of the NFL, because his dream was parody,

34
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 3: Like a dream season for him was every team going

35
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 3: eight to eight back in a sixteen game schedule. And

36
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 3: I've asked this question of a lot of people, both

37
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 3: here at Fox Sports Radio my TV work over the years,

38
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 3: about the word parody, like it's parody a good thing,

39
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 3: you know, where everyone's the same and anyone can have

40
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 3: a chance to win a championship, it's parody a good thing?

41
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 3: Or are you better off to have a dominant team

42
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 3: or a donovan individual in an individual sport over team? So, NICKI,

43
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 3: as we get ready for the show right now, It's

44
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 3: great to see you. How are you, Nikki?

45
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 4: Fresh off of Thank You, I'm great and just got

46
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 4: back from San Francisco my first ever radio row week

47
00:02:57,760 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 4: Oh sports radio.

48
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 3: Well, I'm glad because, like I said, I did twenty six.

49
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 4: Of those and so my gosh, you deserve a breather.

50
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,519
Speaker 2: I deserve a breather. I don't do it anymore. I'll

51
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:07,959
Speaker 2: ask again.

52
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 3: I'm very anxious to find out how it was up there,

53
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 3: but I do want to start the show today because

54
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 3: we only have a couple hours here.

55
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:15,639
Speaker 2: We got a life by the way, Yeah, I mean

56
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 2: are you Are you a fan of the idea?

57
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 3: Because again, this is the first time in forty five

58
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 3: years that we have a matchup of two teams that

59
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:29,799
Speaker 3: had preseason Super Bowl odds of fifty to one or more. Okay,

60
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 3: so we no one could have predicted, obviously a matchup

61
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 3: between Seattle and New England in the Super Bowl, at

62
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 3: least preseason. So if this becomes the norm, and remember

63
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 3: in the NBA we've had seven different teams win championships

64
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 3: over the last seven years, are you a fan of

65
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 3: parody versus having a dominant team or a dominant a

66
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 3: dominant individual like Tiger Woods back in the day, or

67
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 3: a Djokovic or Federal attentions, whatever, it's Serena Williams in tennis.

68
00:03:57,680 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 2: What do you think is better for.

69
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 4: A Well, I don't. It's interesting because what is better

70
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 4: is is a you know, very subjective like term, right,

71
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 4: because you can look at dominance and inevitive. Inevitability is

72
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:20,479
Speaker 4: excellent to watch and you're always reflective on the reign

73
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 4: of Tiger Woods, of Michael Jordan, of you know, Lebron

74
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,719
Speaker 4: James always in the finals. But I, as a fan,

75
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,919
Speaker 4: love the unexpected. But that's how I like consuming sports.

76
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 4: I know that some people do love watching goats and

77
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 4: dynasties unfold lifetime, right, But I like it when it

78
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:43,119
Speaker 4: doesn't seem or when it's anyone's ballgame and it doesn't

79
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 4: seem like, hey, you know it's it's going to be

80
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 4: the Chiefs. Now who's going to meet them? And we

81
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,839
Speaker 4: know Chiefs are going to walk away with it, all right.

82
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 2: See.

83
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 3: My feeling is this, when you have a dominant team

84
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:58,040
Speaker 3: or a dominant individual in a sport, it creates the upset.

85
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 3: To me, the ultimi, the ultimate to me in sports

86
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 3: is the completely unexpected. If the Seahawks win tomorrow, Okay,

87
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 3: they were favored.

88
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:13,159
Speaker 2: If New Zealand wins, it's not like about it, there's nothing.

89
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 3: There's not really an upset because you know, Seattle was

90
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 3: a team that didn't even make the playoffs last year either.

91
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:20,239
Speaker 2: There really is no upset.

92
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 3: To me, the excitement in sports is when you really

93
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 3: get an upset. And just like when the Giants upset

94
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 3: the undefeated Patriots in the Super Bowl, like that was

95
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:33,719
Speaker 3: like unbelievable, like I can't believe this is actually happening,

96
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 3: And you don't get that with parody. If everybody is

97
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:40,840
Speaker 3: pretty much the same, then you take the upset element

98
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 3: out of the equation, which to me is the sexiest

99
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 3: thing in sports. Nothing to me gets me more excited

100
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:51,920
Speaker 3: than a true Do you love.

101
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,679
Speaker 4: The first round of March Madness for that reason? Sure?

102
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 5: I love.

103
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 4: I love it when you see, you know, the Cinderella

104
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:01,719
Speaker 4: stories start to percolate. But I get what you're saying.

105
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 4: I think maybe when you look at the context of

106
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 4: this NFL season in particular, where it seemed like every

107
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:12,279
Speaker 4: game was a kind of a game like oh, is

108
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,720
Speaker 4: this the breakout moment for this team? And it ended

109
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 4: up being like two weeks later, it's like, oh, or

110
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 4: is that team even good anymore? You know? And so

111
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 4: I get what you're saying in terms of creating the platform.

112
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 4: The table is set when you have one dominant partner

113
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 4: and who sets floor or who sets foot on the

114
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 4: floor with them to dance? Are they going to shock them?

115
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 2: Right David and Goliath?

116
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 4: Yes, exactly, So that.

117
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 2: I mean, that's where I'm at.

118
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 3: Look my attitude about this game out quote Tom Brady,

119
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 3: I don't have a dog in the race?

120
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 4: Right?

121
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:50,039
Speaker 2: Why were people upset about that? What was he supposed

122
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 2: to say?

123
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 4: He's an owner?

124
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:52,840
Speaker 2: He's an owner of.

125
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 3: The Raiders, right, he's also a national broadcaster, so you

126
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:58,920
Speaker 3: have to be impartial there.

127
00:06:58,520 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 4: Not playing.

128
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 3: And the idea that he has a loyalty to the Patriots,

129
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:06,159
Speaker 3: the team that let him go at the end, I

130
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,599
Speaker 3: mean it's like, what does he owe the Patriots?

131
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 2: He and all the Patriots anything?

132
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 4: People just are looking for reasons to be angry.

133
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 3: Okay, So now I want to get into this whole

134
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 3: idea that you're up there all right? So yes, and

135
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 3: I don't want to bring this up my good friend

136
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 3: for many many years, Chris mad Dog Russo, Okay, this

137
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 3: is a true story.

138
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 4: I love true stories from Steve Hartman.

139
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm going to give you a true story, Nikki,

140
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 3: as I always go back in time.

141
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 2: As you know, I do this kind of stuff.

142
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 3: So super Bowl twenty five, that was the Bills Giants.

143
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 3: The Scott Norwood missed field goal that was the first

144
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 3: of the four straight Super Bowl losses for the Bills.

145
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 3: That game was down in Tampa, Florida. The Giants were

146
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 3: in the game, and they had a new show on

147
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 3: w FAN radio that had started the year before called

148
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:51,960

Speaker 3: Super Bowl. I said, Okay, where are we gonna where

160
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 3: are we gonna do the show? There was no such

161
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 3: thing as radio row obviously in those days, but we

162
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 3: did know Mike and the Mad Dog we're going to

163
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 3: be there because the Giants were in the Super Bowl,

164
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:32,319
Speaker 3: so they're covering from the New York aangle. So we

165
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 3: try to find, well, where are they doing the show from?

166
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,560
Speaker 3: I remember was that the top of an escalator in

167
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 3: a hotel. So they had a table set up and

168
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,559
Speaker 3: they had a few chairs, you know, for some of

169
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 3: the Giants.

170
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 2: Fans that wanted to hear what they had to say

171
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:46,719
Speaker 2: about the game. So we set up a table right

172
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 2: next to them. I mean, if we figured, you know,

173
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,560
Speaker 2: they might get some guests. Maybe we can sort of feel.

174
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 4: The origins of radio row that you're telling me.

175
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 3: I was in Arizona a couple of years ago, last

176
00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:00,840
Speaker 3: time I was around Radio Row or now it's Media Row, uh,

177
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 3: and I saw Chris and we we always say that

178
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 3: was the birth of radio row.

179
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 4: One table next to another, and right there it started something.

180
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:11,560
Speaker 3: And the next year we're in Minneapolis and now there

181
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:13,680
Speaker 3: was like five or six tables and it just sort

182
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 3: of grew from.

183
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:18,320
Speaker 4: That founding father of radio row in flesh all. Wow.

184
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:21,080
Speaker 3: So but I'm anxious to find out from you, because

185
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 3: I want to get plenty of here because you were there,

186
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 3: so I want to get a lot on this all right,

187
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 3: So first of all, your first time in this see there,

188
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 3: I know there's a lot of podcasters now, used to

189
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 3: be just radio stations. In fact, for years and years

190
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 3: and years, you know, I'd see the same people over

191
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 3: and over again. Now you know last time I was there,

192
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 3: which was down in Phoenix, for it was four years ago,

193
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,960
Speaker 3: three four years ago. Just a lot of new face

194
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 3: everything else. So what was your what was your first impression?

195
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:51,199
Speaker 3: Was it something you expected? It was a more less.

196
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 4: Than well, it was interesting because now brands are also

197
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,079
Speaker 4: getting involved with their own sets, right, and it's it's

198
00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,320
Speaker 4: there's a lot of production going into this. And I

199
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:02,199
Speaker 4: was impressed by the quality of some of the sets.

200
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 4: Our Fox Sports Radio set looked iconic. But then like

201
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:08,439
Speaker 4: Bleacher Report had a huge stage with like Carnival Games

202
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:12,199
Speaker 4: because they realized that interviews got tired of standing there waiting,

203
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 4: so they made fun things for guys to do. I

204
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 4: was I was really impressed by it all. I did

205
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:21,319
Speaker 4: hear that a lot of people said it wasn't as

206
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 4: chaotic and crazy and it felt smaller than it had

207
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 4: been in years past, So I don't know if they

208
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 4: made it more difficult to take it out.

209
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:31,840
Speaker 3: Well, I guess the question is, so ten years ago,

210
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 3: last time the Super Bowl was there, I was at

211
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:37,840
Speaker 3: that Radio Row and those were, you know, pre COVID

212
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:40,840
Speaker 3: days when they still had there were thousands of people

213
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:43,840
Speaker 3: walking through, Oh wow, all over the place. So you're

214
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 3: you're literally in the midst of people. I mean they

215
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 3: were sort of sequestered, but you know, there are thousands

216
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,840
Speaker 3: of people sort of walking around the whole Radio Row area.

217
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 2: Was that the case here?

218
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 4: No, it wasn't thousands, it was there was a very

219
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 4: mellow call energy. Nothing for netic people were I mean,

220
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:06,440
Speaker 4: no public access, so it was all just media members

221
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 4: athletes walking around. You know, It's so funny. I don't

222
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 4: in the flesh. I'm not in a lot of football

223
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 4: locker rooms consistently. I you know, i'd say more in

224
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 4: NBA and MLB locker rooms, but obviously watching the games

225
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 4: and with football, because they're wearing helmets, you don't see

226
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:26,679
Speaker 4: you guys. And so I had a hard time, like

227
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 4: I was like, wait a minute, is that is that

228
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:30,080
Speaker 4: so and so easy?

229
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,960
Speaker 3: You don't know football guys, I mean unless they're a quarterback,

230
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 3: and obviously we see their faces all exactly.

231
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 4: But you know, it was really cool having you know,

232
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:40,560
Speaker 4: I met fre Danda Mendoza, Fred Warner stuff by the set.

233
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:43,679
Speaker 4: He was awesome, Like everyone was in a really good

234
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 4: mood too, So it was really cool having having a

235
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:51,839
Speaker 4: presence there being in an all female led show with

236
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 4: Alex Curry or Fearless leader Carmen Vitali, Tracy Sandler and

237
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 4: so just really really cool being part of the conversation.

238
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 3: I'm anxious to hear much more about this as we

239

301
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 3: setup for Super Bowls. My feeling about this is this, Look,

302
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 3: I'm a wings fan, uh huh, but to me, it's

303
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 3: wings and pizza.

304
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 4: Yeah you can't. I mean, you get if you have.

305
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 3: Pizza, there's got to be wings. If there's wings, there

306
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 3: has to be pizza. It's they're together.

307
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 7: Doing an ad for peptobysmal now like geez well no,

Speaker 7: I've already got a bottle pre made of what's called

316
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 7: jasper stock for plantersons.

317
00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, So Nikki, uh he was asking you during

00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 3: a friend to watch the game.

Speaker 2: Give us, give us the lowdown. Come on.

00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:29,760

00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:30,040

00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 5: was even tomorrow.

338
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 2: Wow.

339
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 5: Last year, there was nothing in my nothing. My stomach

340
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 5: is pt for alcohol.

341
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 3: Well, first of all, goals were ready as I was

342
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 3: predicting a double digit win for the Eagles last year

343
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:05,359
Speaker 3: against the Chiefs, who came true. Uh, you were living

344
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:07,159
Speaker 3: the dream last year, and so you know what this

345
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 3: guy did. This guy is an Eagles fan, and after

346
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:13,960
Speaker 3: after the Eagles blow out of the Chiefs the next day,

347
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:16,359
Speaker 3: he's already like we need a new quarterback and we

348
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 3: need a new coach.

349
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:22,480
Speaker 2: Was super Bowl?

350
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 4: What are you looking forward to?

351
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:29,439
Speaker 2: That's what it's Martin got here, Martin, how about your

352
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:30,160
Speaker 2: day tomorrow?

353
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 8: Well, I'll start with the dirty child I te you know,

354
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 8: maybe taking that.

355
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 4: I'm going to get hungry right now, but during the.

356
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 2: Game, whatever my wife wants to eat.

357
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 8: Honestly, what I'm looking forward to is a little break

358
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:48,159
Speaker 8: from football, you know, a little reset. A lot of

359
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 8: stuff happened, We have so much just happened in the NFL.

360
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:54,480
Speaker 8: Sam Donald is at the Super Bowl and he's not

361
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 8: like doing interviews on radio row. He's about to play.

362
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:00,480
Speaker 8: He's a favorite for Super Bowl MVP.

363
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 2: Right now. We need to sit with that as a

364
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:03,200
Speaker 2: as a nation.

365
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 3: Martin, you mentioned that I said this before before the

366
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:10,200
Speaker 3: playoffs actually began. Okay, so we had the number one

367
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:13,400
Speaker 3: seed in the AFC was demp and the number one

368
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 3: seed in the NFC was Seattle Nikki, and I asked

369
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:20,240
Speaker 3: this question of everybody. I said, for a moment this

370
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:24,679
Speaker 3: before the playoffs began. Can you picture Sam Donald hoisting

371
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 3: the Lombardi Trophy? And I asked the same thing about

372
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:30,400
Speaker 3: bow Nicks. You know, the two number one seeds. Can

373
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 3: you envision bow Nicks hoisting the Lombardi Trophy? Can you

374
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:39,400
Speaker 3: envision Sam Donald hoisting the Lombardi Trophy?

375
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:41,800
Speaker 2: And the answer was unanimous, No.

376
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:44,679
Speaker 4: I can, I can envision Sam bow.

377
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:48,680
Speaker 3: No, well, now Sam Donald's looking good. Before the playoffs,

378
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:50,919
Speaker 3: you were a believing believer in Sam Donald.

379
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:53,359
Speaker 4: Yeah, before the playoffs, yes, you were. I think it

380
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:56,440
Speaker 4: was that regular season game against the Rams where they

381
00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 4: prevailed in overtime.

382
00:18:57,560 --> 00:18:59,920
Speaker 2: Where he did come back, and obviously that.

383
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 4: I was I was like, oh, these guys are contenders,

384
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 4: not pretenders, and trust me, as a UCLA Bruin, I've

385
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 4: been inclined to doubt the likes of Darnold throughout his

386
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:11,359
Speaker 4: career well.

387
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:14,880
Speaker 2: As a fellow Bruins as we are UCLA.

388
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 3: Obviously, Troy Aikman went through Super Bowls with the other

389
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:21,120
Speaker 3: UCLA quarterback that got to a Super Bowl, Billy Kilmer,

390
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:24,440
Speaker 3: leading the then Redskins to the Super Bowl again.

391
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,720
Speaker 5: Everybody since color TV was invented, Yes.

392
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:28,400
Speaker 2: That back in the day.

393
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 3: That was the undefeated Dolphins wrapped up their undefeated season

394
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:32,160
Speaker 3: against Billy Kimmer.

395
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:35,720
Speaker 4: More about Charbonnay's injury, but he's a Bruin.

396
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:38,360
Speaker 3: Absolutely, But this is the first time that a USC

397
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 3: quarterback has ever started a Super Bowl.

398
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 4: It's crazy and the same the same for Drake May Yeah,

399
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 4: UNC first time US quarterback.

400
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 2: And they've had other quarterbacks, but yeah, all the SC quarterbacks.

401
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 2: You think about it, this is the first time a

402
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 2: USC quarterback has started the Super Bowl and this is

403
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 2: so don't say you don't have a horse in the race,

404
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:01,120
Speaker 2: mister Trojan. You guys, we gotta be both.

405
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 5: I'm very Sam Donald tomorrow. As much as I don't

406
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:07,639
Speaker 5: want the Seahawks to win, I will be rooting for

407
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:08,560
Speaker 5: Sam Donald tomorrow.

408
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:10,359
Speaker 7: I think it less about rooting for the Seahawks to

409
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:15,440
Speaker 7: win and more about not wanting the return of Patriots fans, right.

410
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 4: I was like, come on, can we get a little

411
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:20,120
Speaker 4: bit of a more extended break from.

412
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:23,359
Speaker 7: No, there's someone in kindergarten who is in the Boston

413
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:25,359
Speaker 7: area who's never seen a Patriots Super Bowl. Way, it

414
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:27,399
Speaker 7: took all of a week for Patriots fans to remind

415
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 7: everybody how annoying they are. It's pretty spectacular.

416
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, I mean to put in perspective, this

417
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 3: is the Patriots twelfth Super Bowl, I believe, which is

418
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 3: four more than any other team has ever been to

419
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:42,879
Speaker 3: the Super Bowl. And but here here's something on the

420
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:44,640
Speaker 3: other side. I want to get into this a little

421
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 3: bit more. Obviously, we had the MVP Award announced, and

422
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:53,640
Speaker 3: you know, the controversy wasn't so much of Matthew Stafford

423
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:55,359
Speaker 3: edging out Drake made We knew it was going to

424
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 3: be a close felt right, But the fact that somebody

425
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:02,400
Speaker 3: voted for Justin Herbert. I mean, is there any justification

426
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:04,920
Speaker 3: in your mind you're one of the fifty people that

427
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 3: gets to vote for the Most Valuable Player award? Josh Allen,

428
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:10,680
Speaker 3: I could see getting a couple of votes. Yeah, I

429
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:12,639
Speaker 3: mean yeah, I mean he talked about a guy carrying

430
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:13,920
Speaker 3: a team as far as he did.

431
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 2: But the one guy when.

432
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 3: You consider there was a one vote difference in terms

433
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 3: of first place votes between Stafford and May who is

434
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:28,720
Speaker 3: it was Stafford? And by the way, I'm gonna explain

435
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:30,879
Speaker 3: that whole thing on the other side when we have

436
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:33,639
Speaker 3: a little more time. But yeah, I definitely want to

437
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 3: get into that with you and the awards. We'll also

438
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:37,400
Speaker 3: talk a little bit about the Hall of Fame coming

439
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:41,680
Speaker 3: up with that big announcement this week. But the justification

440
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:44,639
Speaker 3: of And by the way, the guy that did vote

441
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:47,720
Speaker 3: for Herbert had been writing up Herbert all season long.

442
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:49,960
Speaker 3: If you actually had read this guy, had ever heard

443
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:52,960
Speaker 3: of him. He had articles all year long talking about

444
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:56,200
Speaker 3: how the Chargers had lost both their offensive tackles and

445
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:59,480
Speaker 3: how he was more valuable to his team than anyone else.

446
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:01,680
Speaker 3: So it wasn't like the guy came out of the blue.

447
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 3: He pretty much gave you a preview of his vote.

448
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:08,439
Speaker 3: He had said he was going to basically lean toward

449
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:11,160
Speaker 3: Herbert as the most valuable player.

450
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:16,720
Speaker 2: Interesting, can you see any way to justify Justin voted

451
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:18,359
Speaker 2: the most valuable player?

452
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 4: And that just seems like irresponsible when you're you know,

453
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 4: bread crumbing all season long like that.

454
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 2: People want to strip them of his vote. I mean

455
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 2: you think that you think a stupid vote like that

456
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:30,919
Speaker 2: is if he should be suspended doing.

457
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:33,560
Speaker 4: I get it when, like, you know, there's funny fan votes,

458
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:35,399
Speaker 4: you know when you write it up for the All

459
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:38,399
Speaker 4: Star whatever, and it's like, how did you know Matthew

460
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 4: Della Delavadova get a vote for NBA All Star Weekend?

461
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 4: But it's funny, But it was something like that.

462
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:46,399
Speaker 2: I'm glad you mentioned that.

463
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 3: If you ever go to NBA dot com after they

464
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:51,119
Speaker 3: announced the All Star teams. Like the starters, they're literally

465
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:54,359
Speaker 3: almost every single player in the NBA game gets a vote,

466
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:57,959
Speaker 3: not from the media, not from the media, from the players.

467
00:22:58,240 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 4: That's so funny.

468
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:01,760
Speaker 3: I think players like, do you tell me seven NBA

469
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 3: players voted for this guy?

470
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 2: Guy literally sits on the bench.

471
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:08,439
Speaker 4: I think like Enniscantor might have voted for himself at

472
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:09,439
Speaker 4: one point. I don't know.

473
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:11,159
Speaker 3: You know, it's just by the way they're voting for

474
00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:14,119
Speaker 3: starter in the All Star Game, not voting for in

475
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 3: the off.

476
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:18,720
Speaker 4: There's a difference between All Star and you know, career

477
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 4: defining awards like an MVP season. You know that one vote,

478
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:24,440
Speaker 4: that one vote can make all the difference.

479
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 2: I could. I mean, we don't know if Drake may

480
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 2: will ever get this close again.

481
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:29,360
Speaker 3: All right, Before we get to all of that, though,

482
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 3: let's find out what is trending. Weise sounds like he's

483
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:34,960
Speaker 3: got his big day set for tomorrow.

484
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 2: I like it. I like it. So you're ready to

485
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 2: sort of put a cap on this football season? Yeah, yeah,

486
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 2: I'm ready to.

487
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 8: You know, we've been in the movie theater now for

488
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 8: four and a half hours. It's been an epic, don't

489
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:50,639
Speaker 8: get me wrong, but like I'd like to stretch my

490
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:53,440
Speaker 8: legs a bit. See what people do on Sunday at

491
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:55,639
Speaker 8: one o'clock Eastern, like Mayo a little brunch.

492
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 4: What a concept.

493
00:23:57,760 --> 00:23:59,639
Speaker 3: I opened the show, Martin, I talked to you as

494
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 3: a usually do. I just walk in and start talking

495
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:04,159
Speaker 3: to people. Martin barely puts up with me. Actually a

496
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 3: little more receptive today because I think I hit a

497
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:09,400
Speaker 3: court talking about this parody thing, you know, getting two

498
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:12,200
Speaker 3: teams that obviously no one predicted before the season could

499
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 3: be possibly matched up in the super Bowl.

500
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:17,919
Speaker 2: Are you a fan or you're not a fan of parody?

501
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:19,800
Speaker 2: And let's just keep it to the NFL.

502
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 8: I'd say I am a overarching I have to say yes,

503
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 8: But I think that this is an unattended consequence where

504
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:31,440
Speaker 8: I like, this could be like I was telling you earlier,

505
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 8: this could be the first episode of a three part

506
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 8: trilogy between cause me, these teams are set up, they

507
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:40,320
Speaker 8: really shouldn't be going anywhere when you look at contracts

508
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 8: and so on, like, there's no like last ride feeling

509
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 8: to this situation. It also could just be one of

510
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:48,320
Speaker 8: those one offs, you know, like you know, I know

511
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:51,800
Speaker 8: The Rams obviously have improved since, but like Rams, Bengals

512
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 8: felt kind of a one off super Bowl and then

513
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:56,639
Speaker 8: Rams computedy like later on down the line, but in

514
00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 8: staff forgetting the MVP.

515
00:24:57,960 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 2: But yeah, I don't.

516
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:03,120
Speaker 8: I am rooting for Sham Darnold here, and I think

517
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:06,720
Speaker 8: if you're not, I am either from the Northeast, which

518
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:10,199
Speaker 8: I understand they're like either you're a Jets or Patriots fan.

519
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 8: But like the redemption story of it all, I think

520
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:14,400
Speaker 8: it's something that everybody should be able to at least

521
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:15,119
Speaker 8: get behind.

522
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 3: Well, if he does win, he'd be the first quarterback

523
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 3: to win a Super Bowl playing for his fifteen.

524
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying is like Sam Donald.

525
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 4: And this resilience, literally this this kid has had the

526
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 4: thickest of skins.

527
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 2: They see a lot of revision is history. How could

528
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:31,639
Speaker 2: the Jets have let him go because he was terrible

529
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 2: with the Jets? Yeah, right, like you know he was

530
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:35,200
Speaker 2: terrible as why and.

531
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 4: So the Jets are a terrible organization? Sorry.

532
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:40,399
Speaker 2: Bigger question is why did the Vikings let him go?

533
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:43,679
Speaker 8: No, that one that answers is why the Vikings let

534
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 8: their GM go? Because not only did miss there, he

535
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:51,480
Speaker 8: also missed on Daniel Jones and you can't miss that badly. Yeah,

536
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 8: speaking of former Vikings quarterbacks, this one might be the

537
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:58,520
Speaker 8: next Viking quarterback. But Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins effected to

538
00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:01,200
Speaker 8: be released before this art of the new league year

539
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:03,199
Speaker 8: in March, allowing him to choose where he wants to

540
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:06,119
Speaker 8: play in twenty twenty six. That coming down from Adam

541
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 8: schefter Steve Hartan is looking at.

542
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:10,359
Speaker 2: Me I the Vikings, do you bring him back? I

543
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:13,640
Speaker 2: don't know. I think JJ would love to see him back.

544
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:16,639
Speaker 2: I think JJ would love to And not talk about that, JJ,

545
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:20,480
Speaker 2: I'm talking about wide receiver JJ man. Did you see

546
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 2: what he said? You know what?

547
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:22,960
Speaker 5: You got to get through this?

548
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 2: All right?

549
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:28,680
Speaker 4: Update into just let me just get to this theoretical

550
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:30,200
Speaker 4: convery NBA real.

551
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:33,000
Speaker 8: Quick, because there is a game active right now. Are

552
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 8: two games active? Only one is close. The Thunder have

553
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 8: a forty.

554
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:40,879
Speaker 2: Nine to forty three lead over the Rockets. No, the

555
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:43,200
Speaker 2: ched Holmgren in double digits case a while into.

556
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:46,920
Speaker 8: Double digits, Shay Gildas Alexander obviously not playing for Oklahoma City.

557
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:48,439
Speaker 8: Is he's going to be out toil the rest of

558
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:51,320
Speaker 8: the All Star break and looking at Tarry Easton and

559
00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 8: reached Shepherd with ten each. So reach Shepherd burn Jared

560
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 8: McCain on a layup earlier today, Jared McCain making his

561
00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 8: OKC debut after he was traded from seventy six ers.

562
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 8: Two minutes left in the first half there and the

563
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 8: Nets lead the Wizards by about thirty in the third quarter.

564
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:11,000
Speaker 2: All right, Martin, thank you so much. You're welcome, looking

565
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:11,400
Speaker 2: very good.

566
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:11,800
Speaker 4: Thanks all.

567
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 3: We'll talk to you a little bit later on once again

568
00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:17,159
Speaker 3: here Fox Football Saturday, Steve Harb and Nikki k with you.

569
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:21,960
Speaker 2: All right, this MVP vote. Nikki, here's what I explain.

570
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:23,680
Speaker 4: Explain it to me, because you've got some insight.

571
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 2: Well, I mean.

572
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:28,480
Speaker 3: Again, this argument about the season that Drake May had,

573
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:31,719
Speaker 3: those Drake May proponents of why he deserves it more. Okay,

574
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 3: I think the postseason has sort of exposed some of

575
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:40,200
Speaker 3: the inflated numbers for Drake May this year.

576
00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:42,959
Speaker 2: Let's put it this way. We know that New England

577
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 2: this year.

578
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:46,159
Speaker 3: It's a matter of fact that New England's strength of

579
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:48,120
Speaker 3: schedule was the weakest of any.

580
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:50,400
Speaker 4: NFL team historically easiest.

581
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:52,840
Speaker 3: Since nineteen ninety nine, third easiest by the way since

582
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:56,840
Speaker 3: nineteen seventy four, I mean crazy, all right. So his

583
00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:00,960
Speaker 3: regular season passer rating this year led the NFL one

584
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:06,879
Speaker 3: thirteen point five. In three playoff games, his passer rating

585
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:11,480
Speaker 3: is eighty four point zero going against good defenses. That's

586
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 3: almost thirty points less in the regular season. He completed

587
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:19,960
Speaker 3: seventy two percent of his passes in the postseason fifty

588
00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:22,919
Speaker 3: five point eight. And by the way, New England has

589
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 3: yet to score twenty points in any playoff game. They're

590
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:30,400
Speaker 3: high as eighteen in three playoff games. That's the most

591
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:34,000
Speaker 3: points they have scored. So they've been going against better

592
00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:37,360
Speaker 3: defenses in the postseason and Drake May has been exposed.

593
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 3: He's also been sacked five times in each of these

594
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 3: three playoff games, and he's fumbled the ball six times.

595
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:50,960
Speaker 3: So I mean, the fact is Drake May and New

596
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:54,040
Speaker 3: England took advantage. And by the way, give them credit,

597
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:57,600
Speaker 3: they won games they should have won against the easiest

598
00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:01,400
Speaker 3: schedule the NFL has seen of any team since nineteen

599
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:02,160
Speaker 3: ninety nine.

600
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:03,960
Speaker 2: But if you're going to compare.

601
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:07,520
Speaker 3: The schedules of Drake May versus a Matthew Stafford who

602
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:13,160
Speaker 3: played in the NFC West, that's you know, a difference

603
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:14,720
Speaker 3: than the AFC East.

604
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:17,160
Speaker 2: And don't tell me about common opponents.

605
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 3: You know everyone's trying to downgrade Stafford for the bad

606
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:23,200
Speaker 3: game he had against the Falcons. Well, look at Drake May.

607
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:25,320
Speaker 3: They played against the NFC South.

608
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 2: No, no, no, stop, I'm talking about totality of their schedule.

609
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:32,920
Speaker 2: There was no comparison. The Rams played a much tougher

610
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:35,160
Speaker 2: schedule than the New England Patriots.

611
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:38,000
Speaker 3: The numbers were comparable and so I believe they got

612
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:40,200
Speaker 3: it right in my opinion. Nidy Abison on Hea what

613
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:42,480
Speaker 3: you say that Stafford should have been the MVP.

614
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 4: I do think the narrative and you know, I know

615
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:48,960
Speaker 4: these awards are not based on narratives, or they're not

616
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:51,960
Speaker 4: career achievement awards. I do think the stage was set

617
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 4: for Matthew Stafford to have a incredible comeback from an

618
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:57,520
Speaker 4: injury that had us doubting if he was even going

619
00:29:57,600 --> 00:29:59,600
Speaker 4: to play at the beginning of the season, and then

620
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:02,080
Speaker 4: to have the productivity that he did have the Rams

621
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 4: on the brink of playing in the Super Bowl. Excellent.

622
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:08,480
Speaker 4: He was my MVP. However, I will play a devil's

623
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:11,960
Speaker 4: advocate here and just as you say, May's numbers have

624
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:17,120
Speaker 4: been inflated, buoyed by their strength of schedule. Matthew Stafford

625
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:20,880
Speaker 4: had Sean McVay. Matthew Stafford had Puka Nakuah. Matthew Stafford

626
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:23,960
Speaker 4: had Kyron Williams. He had one of the best offensive

627
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:26,880
Speaker 4: units surrounding him, that one that he's had the comfort

628
00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:30,600
Speaker 4: of playing in for years. Drake May to have his productivity,

629
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:34,120
Speaker 4: to not have the genius of a McVeigh, and to

630
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:37,360
Speaker 4: still have that success in his second year. That's when

631
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:40,080
Speaker 4: you look at those numbers and yes, he did have

632
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:44,320
Speaker 4: the edge in a lot of statistical categories that are significant.

633
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:47,040
Speaker 4: And if you're really going to dive in, I think

634
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:48,640
Speaker 4: you can make the case for May.

635
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:51,920
Speaker 3: Okay, it's not a knock on Drake may phenomenal year.

636
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:57,200
Speaker 3: When I hear the Puka Nakouah argument, I laugh and

637
00:30:57,240 --> 00:31:01,880
Speaker 3: I always say this no disrespect, but Cooper Cupp had

638
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:04,840
Speaker 3: one of the greatest seasons top five seasons of any

639
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:08,440
Speaker 3: wide receiver in the history of the NFL. Who is

640
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 3: his quarterback that year, Matthew Stafford. So is it conceivable

641
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:15,800
Speaker 3: because Cooper Cup's never been that same receiver since is

642
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:21,120
Speaker 3: it conceivable that Pooka nakou is actually a creation of

643
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:23,680
Speaker 3: having Matthew Stafford throwing the ball.

644
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:25,160
Speaker 2: I don't know he threw a guy.

645
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 3: Too, Calvin Johnson in Detroit who became a first ballot

646
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:31,520
Speaker 3: Hall of Famer. Then he comes to La Cooper Cup

647
00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:34,600
Speaker 3: has one of the five greatest seasons any wide receivers

648
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:38,040
Speaker 3: ever had triple ground of wide receiving and Super Bowl

649
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:42,280
Speaker 3: MVP and Offensive Player year. And now Pooka Nakoua, this

650
00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:46,000
Speaker 3: seemingly obscure wide receiver becomes a superstar.

651
00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:49,960
Speaker 2: What do they all have in common? Matthew Stafford.

652
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:52,560
Speaker 7: We also don't talk a lot about the wide receivers

653
00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:54,840
Speaker 7: that don't hit this all star status but look awesome

654
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:58,080
Speaker 7: when Stafford is throwing to them, Like say Kenny Galladay,

655
00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 7: who got a very large contract from the Giants that

656
00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:03,640
Speaker 7: everyone thought was going to be the next Megatron because

657
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:06,280
Speaker 7: of how well he was playing. That was all Golden Tate.

658
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:09,320
Speaker 7: People thought Golden Tate was doing wide receiver one status

659
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 7: like Aquan bolden at Is, like in his final year

660
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:14,960
Speaker 7: in the NFL was having a renaissance with Stafford throwing

661
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:15,160
Speaker 7: to it.

662
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:17,760
Speaker 2: Does anybody believe Phoka Nakua put up those kind of

663
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:19,480
Speaker 2: numbers with any other team in the league.

664
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 5: The thing that I don't get about the supporting cast

665
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:24,200
Speaker 5: is that it has legitimately never been an issue before this.

666
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:28,080
Speaker 5: I've never once heard it until a golden boy from

667
00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:30,320
Speaker 5: the East Coast was up for MVP. Like, I'm sorry,

668
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:33,760
Speaker 5: Tom Brady won MVPs throwing to Randy Moss, Patrick Mahomes

669
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:35,360
Speaker 5: won MVPs throwing to Travis Kelsey.

670
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:35,920
Speaker 2: I mean.

671
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:42,520
Speaker 5: It before, it hasn't the end of the day, Stafford

672
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:44,720
Speaker 5: played a harder schedule and put up better rowstats than

673
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:45,200
Speaker 5: Drake made it.

674
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:49,280
Speaker 2: That's look, and I understand and again this is Nikki.

675
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:50,640
Speaker 2: This is not a knock on the.

676
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:55,320
Speaker 4: I mean I was if I voted, I would be

677
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:56,640
Speaker 4: voting for Matthew Stafford.

678
00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:58,760
Speaker 7: I will also say too, like, I know there's some

679
00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 7: consternation over the vote that went to Josh Allen into

680
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:03,640
Speaker 7: the one to Justin Herbert, but like, I am not

681
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:07,200
Speaker 7: convinced that those are just we just automatically count those

682
00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:09,160
Speaker 7: to say, oh, yeah, those would have been Drake May

683
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:12,360
Speaker 7: votes or something. I know I disagree with that, but

684
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:14,360
Speaker 7: there's this like narrative that like somehow May was.

685
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:18,760
Speaker 4: Party Pat's advocates in that.

686
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:22,520
Speaker 3: Again, I mean, I could go over a lot of

687
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:25,480
Speaker 3: MVP votes a little different now because they expanded the vote.

688
00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:27,800
Speaker 2: It used to be you just vote one, one vote.

689
00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:30,920
Speaker 3: That's only in recent years that they now say, well

690
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 3: you got to give a first, second, third, fourth, fifth

691
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:35,760
Speaker 3: place vote, so the votes are more spread out.

692
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:38,240
Speaker 2: So I really only look at the first place votes.

693
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:40,440
Speaker 3: But I remember when Tom Brady was in, I thought

694
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:42,240
Speaker 3: he should have been the MVP over what was it,

695
00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:43,040
Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers?

696
00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:45,480
Speaker 2: I thought, actually, Brady had a better season.

697
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:47,920
Speaker 3: So there's a lot of controversy, and why don't we

698
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:51,200
Speaker 3: take non quarterbacks more seriously when we talk about.

699
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 2: Most valuable player? Again?

700
00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:57,120
Speaker 3: You could make a really good argument then in many ways,

701
00:33:57,480 --> 00:34:00,680
Speaker 3: Josh Allen was even more valuable for the Bills this

702
00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:03,880
Speaker 3: year than he was last year when he was the MVP.

703
00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:07,920
Speaker 3: So I mean that's I guess Nikki. I would ask you,

704
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 3: what is your definition? And the most valuable player? Is

705
00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:12,560
Speaker 3: that the best player on the best team.

706
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:13,560
Speaker 2: How do you do that?

707
00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:18,120
Speaker 4: Christian McCaffrey absolutely the most valuable place.

708
00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:20,520
Speaker 3: Because we said before the season about the forty nine ers,

709
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:21,960
Speaker 3: I go, the only way the forty nine ers are

710
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:23,960
Speaker 3: going to bounce back this year is somehow some way

711
00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:27,399
Speaker 3: McCaffrey stays healthy, and he did, and they are back

712
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:27,640
Speaker 3: in the.

713
00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:30,160
Speaker 4: Playoffs and it's the same. I mean then you look

714
00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:32,239
Speaker 4: at like the Coach of the Year candidates, right and

715
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:35,320
Speaker 4: it's like what Kyle Shanahan did with one injury after

716
00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:38,279
Speaker 4: the next. Absolutely he deserves to be in the conversation.

717
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:42,600
Speaker 4: I personally would. I think what Mike McDonald has done

718
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:45,879
Speaker 4: in Seattle makes him worthy of.

719
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:48,799
Speaker 3: Oh, it was from a coaches standpoint when Cohen did

720
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:53,040
Speaker 3: in Jacksonville before the playoff. Obviously Ben Johnson in Chicago,

721
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:55,560
Speaker 3: and there were a lot of very viable Coach of

722
00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:57,719
Speaker 3: the Year candidates all right. On the other side, all

723
00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:00,080
Speaker 3: the controversy surrounding.

724
00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:00,439
Speaker 2: The Hall of Fame.

725
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:04,160
Speaker 3: Ooh, I'm gonna explain some of it to you, and

726
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:10,560
Speaker 3: what changes should we expect in the selection process. We'll

727
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:13,640
Speaker 3: break it down. This is Fox Football Saturday, Steve Harman,

728
00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:17,080
Speaker 3: Nikki k with you Fox Football Saturday, and yes, we

729
00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:20,359
Speaker 3: continue the countdown for the big game tomorrow, Patriots and

730
00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:24,840
Speaker 3: Seahawks Super Bowl sixty. Much more on the matchup and

731
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:29,200
Speaker 3: some interesting trends from a gambling standpoint that you might

732
00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:32,000
Speaker 3: be interested in. Not that we're promoting gambling. But we

733
00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:35,759
Speaker 3: recognize that's what you're looking for the Hall of Fame,

734
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:39,520
Speaker 3: and I wouldn't say it was a fiasco in terms

735
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:43,040
Speaker 3: of I mean, obviously everyone's talking about Belichick and Kraft

736
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:45,080
Speaker 3: now getting into the Hall of Fame. But I got

737
00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:49,240
Speaker 3: to explain this briefly, Nikki, why this happened.

738
00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:51,479
Speaker 2: So last year.

739
00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:54,080
Speaker 3: Up until last year, the way it worked in the

740
00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:57,279
Speaker 3: selection of the Hall of Fame class was this. They

741
00:35:57,320 --> 00:36:01,640
Speaker 3: would have basically the contemporary care category five. They would

742
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:04,640
Speaker 3: cut from fifteen to ten, ten to five, and then

743
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:07,319
Speaker 3: they would vote on each of those five guys individually,

744
00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:10,480
Speaker 3: like all right, give a name, eighty percent of the vote,

745
00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:13,359
Speaker 3: they're in, and for years and years, all five will

746
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:15,400
Speaker 3: get in. You got to that final five year in

747
00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:18,680
Speaker 3: they would do the same thing with the coach, contributor

748
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:23,200
Speaker 3: and even the senior candidates. They would be voted on individually,

749
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:26,759
Speaker 3: not against each other. But they decided, and this was

750
00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:29,600
Speaker 3: pressure put on by certain people like Dion Sanders, that

751
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:31,319
Speaker 3: there were way too many guys in the Hall of

752
00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:33,759
Speaker 3: Fame need to cut back. So they decided, all right,

753
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:36,480
Speaker 3: well then we'll we'll pit them against each other. So

754
00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:39,560
Speaker 3: we'll take the contributor, the coach candidate, and the three

755
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:42,640
Speaker 3: senior candidates, and you vote for three out of five. Well,

756
00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:46,600
Speaker 3: if you do simple math, getting eighty percent of the vote,

757
00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:48,680
Speaker 3: well you can only vote for three out of five

758
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:51,400
Speaker 3: is near impossible. And what has come out is a

759
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:54,440
Speaker 3: lot of the guys feeling that, well, of course Craft

760
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:57,239
Speaker 3: or Belichick, they'll have many opportunities to get in.

761
00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:00,240
Speaker 2: So I'm going to give these three senior play.

762
00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:03,000
Speaker 3: Vote, so this might be their one chance to be

763
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:05,400
Speaker 3: one of the finalists for the Hall of Fame. And

764
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:09,040
Speaker 3: enough people did that where I don't think any of

765
00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:11,920
Speaker 3: them got eighty percent. In that case, only the top

766
00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:14,000
Speaker 3: vote getter would get in. In this case, it was

767
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:16,879
Speaker 3: Roger Craig, the former forty nine or running back, who

768
00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:18,680
Speaker 3: I do believe is a worthy Hall of Famer.

769
00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:20,320
Speaker 2: And that's what happened.

770
00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:24,279
Speaker 3: And so unless they change this rule, and from what

771
00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:26,799
Speaker 3: they're saying right now, I don't think they're going to

772
00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:30,279
Speaker 3: change the rule. But this is three straight years that

773
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:34,320
Speaker 3: no contributor or coach has gotten in. Last year was

774
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:37,239
Speaker 3: Mike Holmgren that was victimized by this system. Now it's

775
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:42,080
Speaker 3: Bill Belichick, and so the Hall of Fame seems dead

776
00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:47,600
Speaker 3: set on keeping the classes smaller. But until they actually

777
00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:52,000
Speaker 3: separate the contributor and coaching candidates from the players, this

778
00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:55,879
Speaker 3: could repeat itself for years and years and years, And.

779
00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:58,360
Speaker 4: Then isn't there also the likelihood that, you know, Belichick

780
00:37:58,400 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 4: could be back coaching.

781
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:04,160
Speaker 3: There were probably a few reasons why maybe some people

782
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:06,480
Speaker 3: would lean. I mean, I think I gave one reason

783
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:08,800
Speaker 3: because they wanted to give these players an opportunity to

784
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:10,680
Speaker 3: get in, because it might be the only chance they

785
00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:13,880
Speaker 3: get as a finalist. But you're right, everyone keeps bringing

786
00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:16,680
Speaker 3: up spygate to flake Gate. I don't think that was

787
00:38:16,719 --> 00:38:19,960
Speaker 3: a major factor. I do think, like you just said,

788
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:23,080
Speaker 3: the idea that he might come back to the NFL,

789
00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:26,560
Speaker 3: and it's not unprecedented by the way, Joe Gibbs had retired,

790
00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:28,799
Speaker 3: got elect to the Hall of Fame and then came

791
00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:31,440
Speaker 3: back to the then Redskins to coach after he'd already

792
00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:33,400
Speaker 3: been in the Hall of Fame. Paul Brown did that

793
00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:35,360
Speaker 3: when he left the Browns and in with the Bengals,

794
00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:38,359
Speaker 3: so it's not like it hadn't happened before. But yeah,

795
00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:41,319
Speaker 3: I mean, there were probably a few things. I'm sure

796
00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:44,720
Speaker 3: there's even personal bias because let's face a, Belichick treated

797
00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:49,120
Speaker 3: the media like crap. So these personal biases come up.

798
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:51,600
Speaker 3: But the question is is he is he going to

799
00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:55,080
Speaker 3: be the one coach candidate next year? What about Tom Coughlin,

800
00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:57,399
Speaker 3: What about Mike Shanahan, what about some of these other

801
00:38:57,440 --> 00:39:01,080
Speaker 3: coaches They're still waiting for, you know, their opportunity to

802
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:03,640
Speaker 3: even be mentioned as a finalist for them.

803
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:05,280
Speaker 4: I think the system needs to be fixed.

804
00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:08,239
Speaker 2: I do well. First of all, here's here's how I

805
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:12,320
Speaker 2: do all hall of fames. And follow me on this.

806
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:15,279
Speaker 3: This idea of like tenth ballot, twentieth ballot. You know

807
00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:18,680
Speaker 3: Roger Craig thirty three years after he last played, forget that.

808
00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:21,800
Speaker 3: First of all, my idea of a hall of famers,

809
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:24,879
Speaker 3: I give you a name. If you have to think

810
00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:27,960
Speaker 3: about it, it's not a Hall of Famer like it

811
00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:30,719
Speaker 3: should be like this, Tom Brady Hall of Fame, paid,

812
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:31,520
Speaker 3: Matt Hall of Fay.

813
00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:32,799
Speaker 2: You know, Aaron Rodger Hall of Fay.

814
00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:34,520
Speaker 3: You know, if I have to think like you know,

815
00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:39,840
Speaker 3: Ben Roethlisberger, because he's on the list next year, Eli Manning,

816
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:42,440
Speaker 3: that's not a Hall of Famer in my eye.

817
00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:44,399
Speaker 2: But here's how I would do it, all right, five

818
00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:45,400
Speaker 2: years you're retired.

819
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:49,840
Speaker 3: Your stats aren't going to change, right, you've seen I

820
00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:51,759
Speaker 3: imagine if you're on the committee to select you, you've

821
00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:54,480
Speaker 3: done your homework, right. You got five years to decide,

822
00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:57,960
Speaker 3: and you only have first ballot guys. And I'm a

823
00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:01,000
Speaker 3: big believer in second chances. So if you don't get in,

824
00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:04,440
Speaker 3: then that five years, lady, get one last chance. Now

825
00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:08,120
Speaker 3: you've had ten years to review their career. Are they worthy?

826
00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:10,720
Speaker 3: If you're not still convinced the guy's a Hall of Famer,

827
00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:12,160
Speaker 3: then he's not a Hall of Famer.

828
00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:13,120
Speaker 2: None of this.

829
00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:18,759
Speaker 3: You know, every year fourteenth forget that. Two chances, that's it.

830
00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:22,480
Speaker 3: Five years. Wait, vote, they'll make it five more years.

831
00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:24,040
Speaker 3: Second chance, that's it.

832
00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:27,080
Speaker 4: And you still divvy it up with the eighty percent.

833
00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:30,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, whatever whatever standard you want to do with the

834
00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:32,840
Speaker 3: eighty percent is fine with me. And I would include

835
00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:36,719
Speaker 3: all of them together, coaches, contributors, players all in the

836
00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:37,239
Speaker 3: same mix.

837
00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:42,239
Speaker 4: Are there's Steve NFL Honors voting No, sorry, Hall of

838
00:40:42,239 --> 00:40:43,400
Speaker 4: Fame voting by Steve Hartman.

839
00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:46,360
Speaker 3: Well, I just think it's easier, and I think it

840
00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:49,600
Speaker 3: really takes the guests work out. I mean, again, if

841
00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:51,160
Speaker 3: I have to think about it. If you throw a

842
00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:55,960
Speaker 3: name out at me and you say, well no, then

843
00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:57,600
Speaker 3: you're not a Hall of Famer.

844
00:40:57,600 --> 00:40:59,759
Speaker 2: All right. Coming up on the other side, we got

845
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:04,000
Speaker 2: some interesting numbers that could determine which team comes out

Speaker 3: For many people out there that are not gamblers, now,

00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:42,960
Speaker 3: I know there's a lot of people that bet, you know,

860
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:47,040
Speaker 3: on a daily basis, weekly basis, whatever may be, wager

861

Speaker 3: a lot of money during the course of a football season.

862
00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:49,759
Speaker 2: I get that.

863
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:51,920
Speaker 3: But there's a lot of people out there, Nikki that

864
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:53,960
Speaker 3: the only time they ever bet on anything, it's like

865
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:56,200
Speaker 3: Super Bowl, It's like it's the.

866
00:41:56,280 --> 00:41:58,880
Speaker 4: Ultimate whares, the squares.

867
00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:01,600
Speaker 3: The prop bets like this, all right, so you know

868
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:04,440
Speaker 3: again tomorrow VJ. Husky and I are doing five hours

00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:06,080
Speaker 3: to get you all step for the game tomorrow. We're

870
00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:08,360
Speaker 3: gonna have like sixty prop bets. I guess one of

871
00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:10,080
Speaker 3: the prop bets that a lot of people like to

872
00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:14,040
Speaker 3: jump on is the UH the anthem.

873
00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:15,680
Speaker 2: How long will it take to sing?

874
00:42:16,080 --> 00:42:18,640
Speaker 4: The nation has been hitting in recent years, so.

875
00:42:18,840 --> 00:42:21,440
Speaker 3: Basically it's usually around two minutes. It's like a two

876
00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:22,759
Speaker 3: minute you know.

877
00:42:23,040 --> 00:42:25,760
Speaker 4: So who is is it Charlie Pooth?

878
00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:31,200
Speaker 3: It is Charlie Pooth doing the anthem this year national anthem?

879
00:42:31,719 --> 00:42:35,480
Speaker 2: Are you familiar with Charlie Pooth's.

880
00:42:34,520 --> 00:42:37,400
Speaker 4: Yes work, Yes, he's had some good pop songs. I

881
00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:38,880
Speaker 4: would I'm gonna.

882
00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:40,640
Speaker 2: Does it seem like a guy that will drag it

883
00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:42,160
Speaker 2: out a little bit or get through it?

884
00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:42,640
Speaker 1: Yeah.

885
00:42:42,719 --> 00:42:45,880
Speaker 4: I think he's an He's a quicker. He's a quicker. Yeah,

886
00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:49,920
Speaker 4: so you would wager unders I would hit the under Interesting.

887
00:42:50,600 --> 00:42:53,600
Speaker 3: Here's a here's a little fact about the UH super

888
00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:58,920
Speaker 3: Bowl games in recent years. The last three years, the

889
00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:01,320
Speaker 3: underdog has one straight up.

890
00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:03,799
Speaker 2: You're like, wait a second, the Chiefs won too.

891
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:08,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, guess what When the Chiefs played the Eagles in

892
00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:14,000
Speaker 3: Super Bowl fifty seven, they were a one and a

893
00:43:14,040 --> 00:43:17,279
Speaker 3: half point dog to the Eagles. They were one and

894
00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:19,919
Speaker 3: a half point dogs. They won that game straight up.

895
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:25,080
Speaker 3: Against the forty nine Ers. Two years ago, the Chiefs

896
00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:28,120
Speaker 3: were two and a half point dogs and won the

897
00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:31,879
Speaker 3: game straight up. And then last year the Eagles were

898
00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:34,640
Speaker 3: a point and a half underdog against the Chiefs and

899
00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:36,840
Speaker 3: of course blew them out of that game. So the

900
00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:41,880
Speaker 3: last three years the underdog didn't just cover.

901
00:43:42,239 --> 00:43:42,640
Speaker 4: That's it.

902
00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:45,120
Speaker 2: The underdog won straight up.

903
00:43:45,239 --> 00:43:47,160
Speaker 4: Isn't it a point and a half underdog like a

904
00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:47,720
Speaker 4: pick them?

905
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:52,279
Speaker 2: Basically, Well, technically the answer is yeah, no, But I mean, yeah,

906
00:43:52,320 --> 00:43:53,000
Speaker 2: I know what you're saying.

907
00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:55,120
Speaker 4: Say yeah, yeah, but I get what you're saying. Also,

908
00:43:55,200 --> 00:43:56,320
Speaker 4: that's very interesting.

909
00:43:56,440 --> 00:43:58,319
Speaker 3: Well, if you're thinking about so right now, the spread

910
00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:01,520
Speaker 3: is four and a half points, right, So actually, if

911
00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:05,120
Speaker 3: you look back, the underdog has covered the spread in

912
00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:09,359
Speaker 3: the last five Super Bowls. In fact, Tampa was a

913
00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:12,160
Speaker 3: three point underdog against the Chiefs when they blew them

914
00:44:12,160 --> 00:44:15,120
Speaker 3: out in the Super Bowl in Super Bowl fifty five.

915
00:44:15,520 --> 00:44:19,239
Speaker 3: The only favorite to win the game out right in

916
00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:21,160
Speaker 3: the last five years was the Rams, but they were

917
00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:23,200
Speaker 3: four and a half point favorites against the Bengals and

918
00:44:23,239 --> 00:44:26,560
Speaker 3: they only won by three. So if you're looking for

919
00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:29,600
Speaker 3: a trend, and by the way, this has never happened.

920
00:44:30,239 --> 00:44:36,279
Speaker 3: We're five straight years the underdog has covered in the

921
00:44:36,320 --> 00:44:39,240
Speaker 3: Super Bowl. So this is a trend over five straight years.

922
00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:42,120
Speaker 3: And by the way, the idea of three straight underdogs

923
00:44:42,120 --> 00:44:46,359
Speaker 3: winning the game outright, that has never happened in the

924
00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:50,280
Speaker 3: history of the Super Bowl. So just take a pause

925
00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:55,799
Speaker 3: right there when you look at this Patriots team as

926
00:44:55,800 --> 00:44:58,120
Speaker 3: a four and a half point dog. By the way,

927
00:44:58,120 --> 00:45:01,239
Speaker 3: here's another interesting stat. First time we've ever had a

928
00:45:01,320 --> 00:45:04,960
Speaker 3: Super Bowl where both teams were top four in the

929
00:45:05,120 --> 00:45:10,680
Speaker 3: NFL and both scoring offense and scoring defense. So on paper,

930
00:45:10,760 --> 00:45:13,480
Speaker 3: this is an amazing matchup when we really look at it,

931
00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:19,800
Speaker 3: when you look at the Patriots, if they're going to

932
00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:22,320
Speaker 3: win the game, how's it going to happen?

933
00:45:23,719 --> 00:45:25,480
Speaker 2: Besides scoring more points?

934
00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:29,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, but what has to happen disrupt Sam Donald's flow.

935
00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:31,120
Speaker 4: They got to turn him over.

936
00:45:31,200 --> 00:45:34,120
Speaker 2: Right, He's got to become the turnover machine we know

937
00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:38,360
Speaker 2: Sam Darnald can be, and which was very possible because

938
00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:40,400
Speaker 2: if there has been a strength in this postseason, we

939
00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:41,760
Speaker 2: mentioned the offensive numbers.

940
00:45:41,840 --> 00:45:44,719
Speaker 3: There has been no Patriots offense in this postseason. They

941
00:45:44,760 --> 00:45:48,000
Speaker 3: haven't scored more than eighteen points in three playoff games.

942
00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:50,840
Speaker 3: Drake May is completing only fifty five percent of his

943
00:45:50,920 --> 00:45:54,400
Speaker 3: passes in the postseason after completing seventy two percent in

944
00:45:54,480 --> 00:45:57,400
Speaker 3: the regular season. Now, granted they went against the Chargers,

945
00:45:57,400 --> 00:45:59,360
Speaker 3: they went against the Texans and the Broncos.

946
00:45:59,360 --> 00:46:02,600
Speaker 2: Those are three really good defenses. Guess who also has

947
00:46:02,640 --> 00:46:04,719
Speaker 2: a really good defense, Seahawks.

948
00:46:06,239 --> 00:46:08,399
Speaker 3: So he can't turn the ball over. Drake May has

949
00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:12,160
Speaker 3: got to play better if they're going to beat the Seahawks.

950
00:46:11,840 --> 00:46:17,719
Speaker 4: Right, But when you're facing the Seattle Seattle defense, so

951
00:46:17,840 --> 00:46:19,800
Speaker 4: they'll task it is a tough task.

952
00:46:19,880 --> 00:46:23,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, But somehow, some way, Drake May has to play better.

953
00:46:25,080 --> 00:46:25,960
Speaker 2: Is it possible?

954
00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:29,640
Speaker 3: I always go back to the Super Bowl, the first

955
00:46:29,640 --> 00:46:33,080
Speaker 3: Tom Brady win. So that Super Bowl was January two

956
00:46:33,120 --> 00:46:35,920
Speaker 3: thousand and two, was in New Orleans. I was down there.

957
00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:38,279
Speaker 3: It was really weird, Nikki, because it was right after

958
00:46:38,360 --> 00:46:43,120
Speaker 3: nine to eleven. Security was out of control. I mean

959
00:46:43,160 --> 00:46:47,840
Speaker 3: it was understandably, but it was out of control. So anyway,

960
00:46:48,120 --> 00:46:52,560
Speaker 3: we had Hank Stram, the legendary Hall of Fame coach

961
00:46:52,560 --> 00:46:55,200
Speaker 3: of the Chiefs, super Bowl winning coach, and he would

962
00:46:55,200 --> 00:46:55,879
Speaker 3: come on every year.

963
00:46:55,920 --> 00:46:58,120
Speaker 2: He was a broadcaster at that point, and he would

964
00:46:58,160 --> 00:47:01,080
Speaker 2: he had this like full roof way of picking the

965
00:47:01,080 --> 00:47:04,840
Speaker 2: Super Bowl winner. He had like twenty five different stats.

966
00:47:04,880 --> 00:47:06,839
Speaker 2: He would, you know, throw into the computer and come

967
00:47:06,880 --> 00:47:08,600
Speaker 2: out with a winner. And we'd had him on for

968
00:47:08,640 --> 00:47:09,839
Speaker 2: several years and most of the.

969
00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:12,480
Speaker 3: Games were pretty predictable back in those days, so we

970
00:47:12,480 --> 00:47:14,960
Speaker 3: weren't gonna give him that much credit. So anyway, the

971
00:47:15,080 --> 00:47:18,680
Speaker 3: Rams were like two touchdown favorites in that game. They

972
00:47:18,719 --> 00:47:20,839
Speaker 3: were two years of moved from winning the Super Bowl.

973
00:47:20,920 --> 00:47:24,000
Speaker 3: The Patriots had this completely unknown quarterback. They should have

974
00:47:24,080 --> 00:47:26,600
Speaker 3: lost their first playoff game on the tuck rule, and

975
00:47:26,680 --> 00:47:28,879
Speaker 3: they got a break in that game, and so they

976
00:47:28,880 --> 00:47:34,040
Speaker 3: were fourteen point underdogs. New England was fourteen point underdogs.

977
00:47:34,520 --> 00:47:36,880
Speaker 3: So we're talking to Hanks Ram. We go he what

978
00:47:37,360 --> 00:47:38,640
Speaker 3: tell us what the commuter said?

979
00:47:38,680 --> 00:47:41,000
Speaker 2: Hanging wah, Yeah, I gotta put all the numbers in,

980
00:47:41,200 --> 00:47:44,840
Speaker 2: and so I've got the New England Patriots winning the game.

981
00:47:46,520 --> 00:47:51,040
Speaker 2: Like what, coach, you better put the numbers back in.

982
00:47:51,280 --> 00:47:56,000
Speaker 2: There is no way, no way, no way, the Patriots

983
00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:58,080
Speaker 2: are going to beat the Rams. None. They're zero. It's

984
00:47:58,160 --> 00:48:01,680
Speaker 2: Kurt Water, it's Marshall Fall. They just won the Super Bowl.

985
00:48:01,719 --> 00:48:05,480
Speaker 2: They are It's not even close. And what happened.

986
00:48:05,800 --> 00:48:08,600
Speaker 3: New England won the game and Tom Brady became a

987
00:48:08,680 --> 00:48:12,200
Speaker 3: legend leading the game winning drive for the vinitary a

988
00:48:12,200 --> 00:48:17,120
Speaker 3: Field them. So I certainly can't dismiss New England by

989
00:48:17,200 --> 00:48:21,000
Speaker 3: any stretch of the imagination in this game, if any you.

990
00:48:20,920 --> 00:48:23,520
Speaker 4: Can never you can never count the Pats out. In fact,

991
00:48:23,560 --> 00:48:27,160
Speaker 4: I think they use that as their their fuel, honestly.

992
00:48:27,719 --> 00:48:32,120
Speaker 4: And he does give me a little bit of a apprehension,

993
00:48:32,320 --> 00:48:35,680
Speaker 4: I guess when I like, everybody seems to be picking

994
00:48:35,760 --> 00:48:36,440
Speaker 4: the Seahawks.

995
00:48:36,680 --> 00:48:40,920
Speaker 3: So everybody, we did something on LA TV.

996
00:48:41,120 --> 00:48:43,719
Speaker 2: They talked to Dodgers players. Every single one of them

997
00:48:43,760 --> 00:48:46,480
Speaker 2: picked Seattle. And I'm like, I don't.

998
00:48:46,360 --> 00:48:51,560
Speaker 4: Know, weird because something seems off. It's like too easy.

999
00:48:51,320 --> 00:48:52,080
Speaker 2: Too easy.

1000
00:48:52,200 --> 00:48:55,880
Speaker 3: I'm with you, Yeah, I mean, just like New England

1001
00:48:56,120 --> 00:49:00,640
Speaker 3: came out of nowhere this year, so did Seattle. Yeah,

1002
00:49:00,719 --> 00:49:03,200
Speaker 3: I mean, I you know, I was listening to Jonas

1003
00:49:03,320 --> 00:49:05,279
Speaker 3: you know a little bit earlier today on his show,

1004
00:49:05,320 --> 00:49:07,680
Speaker 3: and he was talking about the fact that he was

1005
00:49:07,680 --> 00:49:10,080
Speaker 3: one of those people when they decided to part ways

1006
00:49:10,080 --> 00:49:13,040
Speaker 3: with Gino Smith and replace him like Sam Darnold. And

1007
00:49:13,080 --> 00:49:15,719
Speaker 3: he said at the time, and I think we all said, like, well,

1008
00:49:15,760 --> 00:49:17,600
Speaker 3: that's that's sort of a lateral move.

1009
00:49:17,800 --> 00:49:20,040
Speaker 2: I mean, it's okay.

1010
00:49:20,040 --> 00:49:21,920
Speaker 3: He got rid of Gino, who's been pretty good the

1011
00:49:21,960 --> 00:49:25,040
Speaker 3: last couple of years, and he replacing him with Sam Darnold,

1012
00:49:25,080 --> 00:49:27,400
Speaker 3: Like you think that's going to be a real boost

1013
00:49:27,920 --> 00:49:28,439
Speaker 3: to your team.

1014
00:49:28,600 --> 00:49:31,080
Speaker 4: Sam Donald once again proven people wrong.

1015
00:49:31,040 --> 00:49:33,800
Speaker 3: Including the playoffs over the last two years. He's thirty

1016
00:49:33,800 --> 00:49:38,440
Speaker 3: and seven, yep, but there is something about this New England.

1017
00:49:38,600 --> 00:49:42,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, and it's the Verbel effect.

1018
00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:44,480
Speaker 2: I'm with you on that.

1019
00:49:44,600 --> 00:49:47,319
Speaker 3: I mean, vrabel I covered obviously super Bowls. When he

1020
00:49:47,360 --> 00:49:50,080
Speaker 3: was a player, he was always that guy. He was

1021
00:49:50,080 --> 00:49:51,719
Speaker 3: one of those guys you could tell this is this

1022
00:49:51,800 --> 00:49:55,719
Speaker 3: guy's got a courting future. He was just an overachiever

1023
00:49:55,880 --> 00:49:59,160
Speaker 3: type guy and he just felt like he got it.

1024
00:49:59,200 --> 00:50:03,440
Speaker 3: I love the way he interacts with his players. You know,

1025
00:50:03,520 --> 00:50:06,320
Speaker 3: he's a big, you know, raw, raw guy. He gets

1026
00:50:06,320 --> 00:50:07,040
Speaker 3: in their face.

1027
00:50:07,200 --> 00:50:09,799
Speaker 4: He never standing still on the sidelines.

1028
00:50:09,920 --> 00:50:13,120
Speaker 2: He is up in it and he's just a positive

1029
00:50:13,320 --> 00:50:15,240
Speaker 2: vibe for this team.

1030
00:50:15,440 --> 00:50:19,880
Speaker 4: He'd be the first ever to win a Super Bowl

1031
00:50:19,920 --> 00:50:21,759
Speaker 4: as a player and as a coach with the same

1032
00:50:21,840 --> 00:50:23,560
Speaker 4: organization correct us.

1033
00:50:23,440 --> 00:50:25,879
Speaker 3: And the thing the way he has handled Drake May

1034
00:50:25,960 --> 00:50:29,960
Speaker 3: this year, because Drake May has made mistakes, like he's

1035
00:50:29,960 --> 00:50:32,480
Speaker 3: had a games. We obviously we were here every Sunday

1036
00:50:32,480 --> 00:50:37,360
Speaker 3: covering games, and he would make, you know, red zone interceptions.

1037
00:50:36,640 --> 00:50:37,520
Speaker 2: Like dude, what are you doing?

1038
00:50:37,560 --> 00:50:40,280
Speaker 3: And then you'll remember, like Okay's it's really his first

1039
00:50:40,320 --> 00:50:45,719
Speaker 3: full year as a starter. But you can tell that

1040
00:50:46,160 --> 00:50:49,320
Speaker 3: he has such support from his coach. He doesn't dwell

1041
00:50:49,360 --> 00:50:52,120
Speaker 3: on it. It's like you can see, you know, this

1042
00:50:52,280 --> 00:50:56,200
Speaker 3: is like the certain coolness and quarterbacks like you know,

1043
00:50:56,400 --> 00:50:59,000
Speaker 3: they don't get like Joe Montana was the ultimate like this.

1044
00:50:59,480 --> 00:51:01,480
Speaker 3: You know, if he had a bad game or bad throw,

1045
00:51:02,120 --> 00:51:04,759
Speaker 3: it didn't FaZe him like okay, the next play, you know,

1046
00:51:05,040 --> 00:51:07,040
Speaker 3: And you get a sense with that with Drake May.

1047
00:51:07,560 --> 00:51:10,800
Speaker 3: So even if Seattle were to force an early fumble

1048
00:51:11,320 --> 00:51:14,600
Speaker 3: or an early interception, I don't think it would have

1049
00:51:14,640 --> 00:51:17,040
Speaker 3: any real adverse effect on Drake May.

1050
00:51:17,080 --> 00:51:20,000
Speaker 2: And I think that's a lot because of the way

1051
00:51:20,400 --> 00:51:22,200
Speaker 2: he's treated by his coach, Mike Frabel.

1052
00:51:23,120 --> 00:51:27,399
Speaker 4: I think Frabel the way he has led the not

1053
00:51:27,480 --> 00:51:31,000
Speaker 4: just Drake May, like the entire organization and you know,

1054
00:51:31,080 --> 00:51:35,680
Speaker 4: the infusion a belief in the Patriot way. Right, It's

1055
00:51:35,760 --> 00:51:40,839
Speaker 4: just still mind boggling to me how brief the Patriots

1056
00:51:40,880 --> 00:51:47,360
Speaker 4: rebuild actually was from complete dominance, dynastic, you know, takeover

1057
00:51:47,480 --> 00:51:50,040
Speaker 4: of the NFL and what it was like five.

1058
00:51:49,880 --> 00:51:52,279
Speaker 2: Years well and even beyond that.

1059
00:51:52,400 --> 00:51:55,080
Speaker 3: And the reason is, and this is where Bob Kraft

1060
00:51:55,120 --> 00:51:58,879
Speaker 3: really deserves more credit than probably he has gotten over

1061
00:51:58,920 --> 00:52:01,680
Speaker 3: the years. And I'm disappointed he didn't get in the

1062
00:52:01,680 --> 00:52:03,600
Speaker 3: Hall of Fame. You know, the guy's in his eighties.

1063
00:52:03,680 --> 00:52:07,160
Speaker 3: I mean, he belongs there. But the one thing that

1064
00:52:07,360 --> 00:52:10,920
Speaker 3: always set the Patriots apart from every other franchise in

1065
00:52:10,960 --> 00:52:13,040
Speaker 3: the NFL and how they were able to maintain it.

1066
00:52:13,120 --> 00:52:15,600
Speaker 3: Yeah they had Belichick, Yeah they had Brady, they had

1067
00:52:15,640 --> 00:52:20,000
Speaker 3: other players.

1068
00:52:18,360 --> 00:52:19,840
Speaker 2: Is admitting you made a mistake.

1069
00:52:20,880 --> 00:52:22,719
Speaker 3: They were the kind of team you could use a

1070
00:52:22,800 --> 00:52:25,320
Speaker 3: high draft pick or maybe a high price free agent,

1071
00:52:25,960 --> 00:52:28,680
Speaker 3: and if it did not work, they would cut their

1072
00:52:28,719 --> 00:52:29,960
Speaker 3: losses immediately.

1073
00:52:30,360 --> 00:52:32,960
Speaker 2: And that's what happened with Mayo from last year. You know,

1074
00:52:32,960 --> 00:52:33,480
Speaker 2: you bring in.

1075
00:52:33,440 --> 00:52:35,080
Speaker 3: This guy and you're like, well, it's a really fair

1076
00:52:35,120 --> 00:52:38,720
Speaker 3: he inherited a mess. He's only been there one year.

1077
00:52:38,840 --> 00:52:42,200
Speaker 3: Come on, give the guy an opportunity, and they are like,

1078
00:52:42,520 --> 00:52:45,279
Speaker 3: we should have hired Vrabel in the first place, and

1079
00:52:45,320 --> 00:52:48,160
Speaker 3: he's still available. We're going to go and make a

1080
00:52:48,360 --> 00:52:51,000
Speaker 3: change now. They couldn't have predicted Ego from four to

1081
00:52:51,080 --> 00:52:52,640
Speaker 3: thirteen to fourteen and three.

1082
00:52:52,920 --> 00:52:57,520
Speaker 4: But he understands in action quickly before he got picked up.

1083
00:52:58,239 --> 00:53:03,680
Speaker 3: Successful organization, those that are consistently successful have a culture.

1084
00:53:04,760 --> 00:53:07,760
Speaker 3: The Patriots have a culture, The Steelers have a culture.

1085
00:53:08,200 --> 00:53:11,000
Speaker 3: These are franchises that know what they're doing. Forty nine

1086
00:53:11,080 --> 00:53:16,120
Speaker 3: Ers have a culture. There's certain franchises and Vrabel understood

1087
00:53:16,120 --> 00:53:19,440
Speaker 3: the culture. Obviously, you get Josh McDaniels, who, you know,

1088
00:53:19,560 --> 00:53:22,120
Speaker 3: not a hell, not a good head coach, but he

1089
00:53:22,200 --> 00:53:24,439
Speaker 3: knows how to run a Patriots offense and he knew

1090
00:53:24,480 --> 00:53:27,400
Speaker 3: how to and I was happy to see for Josh McDaniels.

1091
00:53:27,440 --> 00:53:29,200
Speaker 3: He named assistant Coach of the Year in the vote

1092
00:53:29,200 --> 00:53:31,040
Speaker 3: and he deserved it, and Rabel was Coach of the Year.

1093
00:53:31,040 --> 00:53:31,680
Speaker 2: He deserved it.

1094
00:53:33,840 --> 00:53:36,360
Speaker 3: So I mean the idea that they were able to

1095
00:53:36,400 --> 00:53:39,799
Speaker 3: rebound as quickly as they did once they sort of

1096
00:53:39,920 --> 00:53:43,839
Speaker 3: put all the people back in place that understand the

1097
00:53:43,920 --> 00:53:46,759
Speaker 3: culture of the Patriots, right.

1098
00:53:47,160 --> 00:53:51,600
Speaker 4: Magic, magic, But yeah, you're a Craft does deserve a lot.

1099
00:53:51,760 --> 00:53:51,960
Speaker 2: Oh.

1100
00:53:52,120 --> 00:53:55,040
Speaker 3: Absolutely, Bob Craft knows how to run an organization. He's

1101
00:53:55,080 --> 00:53:56,160
Speaker 3: the best owner in the NFL.

1102
00:53:56,280 --> 00:54:01,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, with a white that's three years younger than them.

1103
00:54:01,280 --> 00:54:03,160
Speaker 2: A he's doing good things.

1104
00:54:03,840 --> 00:54:07,160
Speaker 4: I don't hat on age gaps, No.

1105
00:54:07,760 --> 00:54:08,279
Speaker 2: Not at all.

1106
00:54:08,800 --> 00:54:10,920
Speaker 3: All right, coming up on the other side, we'll continue

1107
00:54:10,920 --> 00:54:12,719
Speaker 3: on as we get ready as well.

1108
00:54:13,160 --> 00:54:15,480
Speaker 2: Nikki was there, I mean she was there. I want

1109
00:54:15,520 --> 00:54:16,600
Speaker 2: to get more into it.

1110
00:54:16,600 --> 00:54:17,640
Speaker 4: It was so much fun, all right.

1111
00:54:17,680 --> 00:54:20,239
Speaker 3: I want to hear more stories exactly what's going on,

1112
00:54:20,280 --> 00:54:21,520
Speaker 3: because everyone else wants to know.

1113
00:54:21,600 --> 00:54:24,680
Speaker 2: You were lucky enough to be there all week, you

1114
00:54:24,719 --> 00:54:25,000
Speaker 2: know what.

1115
00:54:25,040 --> 00:54:27,879
Speaker 4: Steve, I was so thrilled to come back and sit

1116
00:54:27,920 --> 00:54:29,120
Speaker 4: alongside you in person.

1117
00:54:29,280 --> 00:54:30,239
Speaker 2: Thank you, Nick. Well.

1118
00:54:30,280 --> 00:54:32,120
Speaker 3: I want to hear the stories. We got plenty of

1119
00:54:32,160 --> 00:54:34,359
Speaker 3: them as we get ready for the big game. This

1120
00:54:34,640 --> 00:54:37,040
Speaker 3: is Fox Football Saturday.

1121
00:54:36,719 --> 00:54:40,520
Speaker 2: Steve Harvor, Nikki Kay here Fox Football Saturday, getting ready

1122
00:54:40,520 --> 00:54:41,919
Speaker 2: for the big game tomorrow.

1123
00:54:42,120 --> 00:54:46,440
Speaker 4: Oh, we got a skiaplon going on here? Are you watching?

1124
00:54:46,480 --> 00:54:48,520
Speaker 4: Are you a Winter Olympics fan?

1125
00:54:52,120 --> 00:54:52,480
Speaker 2: All right?

1126
00:54:52,560 --> 00:54:54,840
Speaker 3: I'm not a Winner sports fan because I really have

1127
00:54:54,960 --> 00:54:58,120
Speaker 3: never I've lived my entire life in southern California. I

1128
00:54:58,160 --> 00:55:00,640
Speaker 3: know that a lot of southern California is I'm to guess, Nikki,

1129
00:55:00,719 --> 00:55:03,160
Speaker 3: you are someone that has done some scheme.

1130
00:55:03,239 --> 00:55:07,760
Speaker 4: I probably my best athletic skill set is snowboarding. I Uh,

1131
00:55:08,120 --> 00:55:11,080
Speaker 4: my parents got me started very young. We grew up

1132
00:55:11,120 --> 00:55:13,239
Speaker 4: going to Mammoth time and time again. And when you

1133
00:55:13,360 --> 00:55:16,360
Speaker 4: learn young, you're fearless. And that's how I I ski

1134
00:55:16,600 --> 00:55:19,840
Speaker 4: or snowboard now. So I think if there was a

1135
00:55:20,000 --> 00:55:22,480
Speaker 4: sport I could win a gold medal in, you know,

1136
00:55:22,920 --> 00:55:25,200
Speaker 4: with training, it would be something snowboard.

1137
00:55:25,200 --> 00:55:27,520
Speaker 2: Really well, I probably enjoyed a lot of the sea whitears.

1138
00:55:27,719 --> 00:55:30,200
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, well, now he's on the outs because he

1139
00:55:30,640 --> 00:55:32,880
Speaker 4: was a bad guy to our girl, Nino do revs.

1140
00:55:32,880 --> 00:55:35,000
Speaker 2: So what did I say? I I sort of just

1141
00:55:35,040 --> 00:55:37,000
Speaker 2: saw Sean White said something when.

1142
00:55:36,960 --> 00:55:38,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know what he said, but you know

1143
00:55:38,760 --> 00:55:41,920
Speaker 4: he's he's not coming across in the greatest of lights.

1144
00:55:41,960 --> 00:55:44,920
Speaker 4: But yes, he was the flying tomato. It was so

1145
00:55:45,040 --> 00:55:49,200
Speaker 4: much fun watching him. But I love Chloe Kim. It's

1146
00:55:49,239 --> 00:55:51,279
Speaker 4: it is weird though, because I feel very out of

1147
00:55:51,320 --> 00:55:53,880
Speaker 4: touch with the winter sport athletes.

1148
00:55:54,520 --> 00:55:57,160
Speaker 2: Well look at it, I start.

1149
00:55:57,320 --> 00:56:00,440
Speaker 3: I will say this, watching the downhill competition is tense.

1150
00:56:00,640 --> 00:56:03,000
Speaker 3: I mean that is and I go back to I

1151
00:56:03,000 --> 00:56:07,160
Speaker 3: remember Franz Klama, it's like fifty years ago, and just

1152
00:56:07,400 --> 00:56:09,120
Speaker 3: riveted watching the downhill.

1153
00:56:09,600 --> 00:56:11,640
Speaker 7: I can't tell either of you a single one of

1154
00:56:11,640 --> 00:56:14,279
Speaker 7: the rules for curling, but I never miss it when

1155
00:56:14,280 --> 00:56:14,839
Speaker 7: it's on TV.

1156
00:56:15,080 --> 00:56:17,799
Speaker 4: I've tried curling a couple of times. Really yes to

1157
00:56:17,920 --> 00:56:21,600
Speaker 4: do stories for I worked at NBC affiliates, so you know,

1158
00:56:21,600 --> 00:56:23,840
Speaker 4: we'd host the Olympic Zone. Let's get nikky out on

1159
00:56:23,880 --> 00:56:27,440
Speaker 4: the ice. It is incredibly difficult, and it's not just

1160
00:56:27,719 --> 00:56:32,440
Speaker 4: pushing the stone which is heavy. It's like forty pounds

1161
00:56:32,480 --> 00:56:36,239
Speaker 4: and you have to lunge and glide and push this rock,

1162
00:56:36,760 --> 00:56:39,799
Speaker 4: you know, across ice and not lose balance. And then

1163
00:56:40,400 --> 00:56:42,680
Speaker 4: the people are doing the sweeping. You have to really

1164
00:56:42,680 --> 00:56:43,799
Speaker 4: apply pressure and do it.

1165
00:56:43,880 --> 00:56:47,160
Speaker 7: Yes, you're on shoes on that ice. They skates, there's

1166
00:56:47,200 --> 00:56:48,719
Speaker 7: nothing just straight flat shoes.

1167
00:56:48,800 --> 00:56:52,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, you've got to be there. You need serious strength.

1168
00:56:52,120 --> 00:56:54,600
Speaker 2: Well, it's the number two sport in Canada, behind hockey,

1169
00:56:54,960 --> 00:56:56,239
Speaker 2: so curling is big.

1170
00:56:56,280 --> 00:56:56,920
Speaker 4: I look.

1171
00:56:57,040 --> 00:56:57,840
Speaker 2: I enjoy watching.

1172
00:56:57,920 --> 00:56:59,920
Speaker 3: It's one of those things where I really don't think

1173
00:57:00,040 --> 00:57:03,360
Speaker 3: about it until it's actually there, and then I start watching.

1174
00:57:03,440 --> 00:57:05,880
Speaker 3: I get hooked. Like most people That's how it is.

1175
00:57:06,800 --> 00:57:09,439
Speaker 3: The one thing I do like maybe over the Winter

1176
00:57:09,480 --> 00:57:11,920
Speaker 3: Olympics over the Summer Game. I just think they've had way.

1177
00:57:11,800 --> 00:57:13,560
Speaker 2: Too many sports in the Summer Games. I mean, it's

1178
00:57:13,600 --> 00:57:14,799
Speaker 2: just becoming ridiculous, right.

1179
00:57:14,800 --> 00:57:17,000
Speaker 4: Well, and someone made the.

1180
00:57:16,600 --> 00:57:17,800
Speaker 2: Break dancing the last time.

1181
00:57:17,840 --> 00:57:19,960
Speaker 4: I was like, come on, it's so funny because I

1182
00:57:20,000 --> 00:57:22,720
Speaker 4: think I saw someone make the point online. And I

1183
00:57:22,760 --> 00:57:26,320
Speaker 4: have always been a Summer Olympic over Winter Olympic sports,

1184
00:57:26,360 --> 00:57:28,920
Speaker 4: you know, I just I really enjoy it those. But

1185
00:57:28,960 --> 00:57:32,280
Speaker 4: then someone is like, you know, the Winter Olympics are

1186
00:57:33,160 --> 00:57:38,480
Speaker 4: displays of athleticism that a lot of normal people can't attempt,

1187
00:57:38,720 --> 00:57:42,400
Speaker 4: like ice skating, slalom skiing, getting air in a half

1188
00:57:42,480 --> 00:57:45,400
Speaker 4: pipe like And while you may say the same for

1189
00:57:45,520 --> 00:57:48,120
Speaker 4: a lot of Summer Olympic sports, they are kind of

1190
00:57:48,160 --> 00:57:51,200
Speaker 4: like everyone can swim, everyone can run, you know, it's

1191
00:57:51,240 --> 00:57:53,280
Speaker 4: just doing it at the most elite level.

1192
00:57:53,280 --> 00:57:57,360
Speaker 2: Prect correct, Well, yeah that makes it more relatable. Yes,

1193
00:57:57,400 --> 00:58:00,600
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, you're run faster or jump higher than

1194
00:58:00,800 --> 00:58:01,760
Speaker 2: anybody else does.

1195
00:58:02,920 --> 00:58:05,800
Speaker 3: Well, I'm going to continue. I've been breaking down this

1196
00:58:05,920 --> 00:58:09,200
Speaker 3: favorite versus underdog thing. Okay, you may I mentioned the

1197
00:58:09,280 --> 00:58:13,400
Speaker 3: last five years, last five Super Bowls the underdog has

1198
00:58:13,480 --> 00:58:17,480
Speaker 3: covered for them won outright. So I'm going back to

1199
00:58:17,480 --> 00:58:19,840
Speaker 3: Tom Brady's first Super Bowl win. That was Super Bowl

1200
00:58:19,880 --> 00:58:22,120
Speaker 3: thirty six. Now, this is more than a trend.

1201
00:58:22,920 --> 00:58:23,959
Speaker 2: In the last.

1202
00:58:23,800 --> 00:58:31,760
Speaker 3: Twenty four Super Bowls, the underdog has covered seventeen times.

1203
00:58:33,520 --> 00:58:36,360
Speaker 3: The favorite has only covered six times, and one of

1204
00:58:36,400 --> 00:58:38,640
Speaker 3: them was a pick them game. Actually, the last time

1205
00:58:38,960 --> 00:58:42,000
Speaker 3: we saw these two teams play New England and Seattle,

1206
00:58:42,280 --> 00:58:45,280
Speaker 3: that game was a pick them at kickoff, so there

1207
00:58:45,360 --> 00:58:47,640
Speaker 3: was no over you know, underdog or favorite in that game.

1208
00:58:47,880 --> 00:58:52,560
Speaker 3: But that's seventeen of the last twenty four Super Bowls

1209
00:58:53,320 --> 00:58:55,440
Speaker 3: the underdog has covered.

1210
00:58:55,840 --> 00:58:57,880
Speaker 2: So this gets back to the whole New England thing.

1211
00:58:58,480 --> 00:59:00,560
Speaker 2: Being an underdog in this game.

1212
00:59:00,960 --> 00:59:04,200
Speaker 4: I know it makes me nervous, but then I want

1213
00:59:04,200 --> 00:59:05,720
Speaker 4: a good game. I guess that's all I want.

1214
00:59:05,720 --> 00:59:06,880
Speaker 2: I think most people say that.

1215
00:59:07,040 --> 00:59:10,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, I know, that's so, that's so well, I agree.

1216
00:59:09,960 --> 00:59:10,920
Speaker 2: With it, but that's true.

1217
00:59:10,920 --> 00:59:13,120
Speaker 3: I mean, unless you have a team you're rooting for,

1218
00:59:13,640 --> 00:59:16,680
Speaker 3: you just want a good game. Yep, are you excited

1219
00:59:16,680 --> 00:59:17,880
Speaker 3: about the halftime show?

1220
00:59:18,480 --> 00:59:21,400
Speaker 4: I love Bad Bunny, that booney. I don't like I

1221
00:59:21,480 --> 00:59:23,760
Speaker 4: know a couple of his hit songs, but I really,

1222
00:59:24,000 --> 00:59:26,160
Speaker 4: he seems like a good guy. He does a lot

1223
00:59:26,200 --> 00:59:29,840
Speaker 4: for Puerto Rico. I just think it's really cool that

1224
00:59:29,880 --> 00:59:33,280
Speaker 4: the NFL is, you know, celebrating someone who has such

1225
00:59:33,280 --> 00:59:34,240
Speaker 4: a global appeal.

1226
00:59:34,520 --> 00:59:37,439
Speaker 3: Well, the NFL when they got some heat about Bad

1227
00:59:37,440 --> 00:59:41,480
Speaker 3: Bunny because of some of his political statements, just simply

1228
00:59:41,680 --> 00:59:45,480
Speaker 3: at the Grammys recently, but he made those after well,

1229
00:59:45,520 --> 00:59:49,840
Speaker 3: I understand that. But the NFL after that said, we

1230
00:59:50,000 --> 00:59:56,439
Speaker 3: have spoken to him, and we have reminded him that

1231
00:59:57,400 --> 01:00:02,040
Speaker 3: the super bowls for everybody. So we're expecting a really

1232
01:00:02,200 --> 01:00:07,440
Speaker 3: great show from a very talented artist, Bad Bunny. So

1233
01:00:07,480 --> 01:00:10,440
Speaker 3: they're they're covering their bases. It's not like we haven't

1234
01:00:10,480 --> 01:00:12,080
Speaker 3: had in past.

1235
01:00:12,320 --> 01:00:14,080
Speaker 4: Certain political.

1236
01:00:15,440 --> 01:00:16,360
Speaker 2: Moves made.

1237
01:00:17,040 --> 01:00:20,440
Speaker 3: But the NFL seems very confident that Bad Bunny is

1238
01:00:20,480 --> 01:00:23,320
Speaker 3: just going to go out there, kick ass and perform

1239
01:00:24,160 --> 01:00:24,760
Speaker 3: his songs.

1240
01:00:25,320 --> 01:00:30,120
Speaker 4: I think Cardi b might be making appearance too. Really,

1241
01:00:30,160 --> 01:00:33,640
Speaker 4: she's dating stuff on digs. She's got a great song

1242
01:00:33,720 --> 01:00:35,400
Speaker 4: with Bad Bunny. But you know, she might do the

1243
01:00:35,400 --> 01:00:37,480
Speaker 4: thing where she doesn't want to take attention away. She

1244
01:00:37,560 --> 01:00:39,920
Speaker 4: might be chilling in Craft's box.

1245
01:00:41,600 --> 01:00:43,160
Speaker 2: It's a lot of people, you know what they talk

1246
01:00:43,200 --> 01:00:46,120
Speaker 2: about think about this. None of these halftime artists are

1247
01:00:46,120 --> 01:00:50,000
Speaker 2: paid because you're never going to get an audience like this. Yes,

1248
01:00:50,920 --> 01:00:53,000
Speaker 2: you got one hundred million people plus watching you.

1249
01:00:54,600 --> 01:00:56,920
Speaker 4: I was told a very captivating story about do you

1250
01:00:56,960 --> 01:01:06,400
Speaker 4: remember Usher's halftime performance? So Lebron James trainer Mike Mancius,

1251
01:01:06,480 --> 01:01:09,800
Speaker 4: who's been with him throughout Lebron's entire career, I think

1252
01:01:10,000 --> 01:01:14,600
Speaker 4: since basically year two in the NBA. Mike lives in

1253
01:01:14,680 --> 01:01:18,520
Speaker 4: Vegas part of the year, and he got a call

1254
01:01:18,920 --> 01:01:22,760
Speaker 4: right around Super Bowl like, this is Usher's people, you know,

1255
01:01:22,880 --> 01:01:26,600
Speaker 4: we might need to work with you. And Mike was like,

1256
01:01:26,640 --> 01:01:28,960
Speaker 4: all right, let me know. Let me know. Didn't nothing

1257
01:01:28,960 --> 01:01:33,760
Speaker 4: ever really gained momentum or traction. Got a call, you know,

1258
01:01:33,960 --> 01:01:37,560
Speaker 4: It's twenty minutes before kickoff. He's at home with the family,

1259
01:01:38,640 --> 01:01:41,280
Speaker 4: everything's all set up, getting ready to sit down watch

1260
01:01:41,320 --> 01:01:44,919
Speaker 4: the big game, and he gets a call we need

1261
01:01:45,000 --> 01:01:50,000
Speaker 4: you at Allegiance. He's like, what what's going on, gets

1262
01:01:50,040 --> 01:01:54,160
Speaker 4: to the stadium. Usher has thrown out his back and

1263
01:01:54,360 --> 01:01:57,600
Speaker 4: is in a room lying on the floor crowded people.

1264
01:01:57,640 --> 01:01:59,960
Speaker 4: Mike's like, get everyone out of here. You know, it's

1265
01:02:00,160 --> 01:02:04,439
Speaker 4: now the game's off and running Ushers like can't move.

1266
01:02:04,960 --> 01:02:08,440
Speaker 4: So Mike works with him, gets his body right, like

1267
01:02:08,480 --> 01:02:12,920
Speaker 4: I don't know what juju magic, you know, voodoo? He works, usher,

1268
01:02:12,960 --> 01:02:16,760
Speaker 4: goes out and delivers the halftime show on roller skates.

1269
01:02:17,920 --> 01:02:19,080
Speaker 2: How come I have never heard this.

1270
01:02:19,080 --> 01:02:21,080
Speaker 4: Before because Mike told it to me personally.

1271
01:02:22,280 --> 01:02:24,280
Speaker 2: How how does a story like that? And I get

1272
01:02:24,480 --> 01:02:25,840
Speaker 2: had you heard that story before?

1273
01:02:26,320 --> 01:02:27,920
Speaker 5: No, I've never heard that story.

1274
01:02:27,680 --> 01:02:32,600
Speaker 4: So I mean, get out. It's not really very carefully. Yeah,

1275
01:02:32,720 --> 01:02:34,720
Speaker 4: you know, I don't know. I should have probably asked

1276
01:02:34,720 --> 01:02:36,040
Speaker 4: Mike if I I mean, it's a.

1277
01:02:36,040 --> 01:02:38,960
Speaker 3: Great the bridge now, but I mean, wow, yeah, that's

1278
01:02:39,000 --> 01:02:43,320
Speaker 3: an incredible story. M hm wow, that would have been

1279
01:02:43,400 --> 01:02:46,360
Speaker 3: unbelievable if he couldn't perform with your backup plan.

1280
01:02:46,440 --> 01:02:48,920
Speaker 5: I actually have a list of who might perform at

1281
01:02:48,920 --> 01:02:49,760
Speaker 5: halftime with bat On.

1282
01:02:50,240 --> 01:02:53,800
Speaker 2: Oh it save it the first Let's find out what

1283
01:02:53,880 --> 01:02:57,200
Speaker 2: is trendy, Martin is ready for? Do you have any

1284
01:02:57,400 --> 01:03:02,160
Speaker 2: halftime shows that you've enjoyed more than others over the past, Martin.

1285
01:03:02,640 --> 01:03:07,040
Speaker 8: I think my personal favorite would be Beyonce Formation.

1286
01:03:07,600 --> 01:03:10,400
Speaker 2: Yep, really like that. You know.

1287
01:03:10,760 --> 01:03:12,560
Speaker 8: I liked it the best because there was a moment

1288
01:03:13,200 --> 01:03:16,120
Speaker 8: in which she kind of tripped and I wasn't sure

1289
01:03:16,400 --> 01:03:18,640
Speaker 8: if she did it on purpose or not. And I

1290
01:03:18,720 --> 01:03:21,640
Speaker 8: just felt like, like that's got to be the most

1291
01:03:21,840 --> 01:03:25,200
Speaker 8: the best compliment you could pay to a performer. It's like,

1292
01:03:25,240 --> 01:03:27,640
Speaker 8: did a quarterback mean to throw that ball in complete?

1293
01:03:27,920 --> 01:03:30,200
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying? Like was that the goal?

1294
01:03:31,120 --> 01:03:33,400
Speaker 2: Or is that just a mistake? Right? That was?

1295
01:03:33,600 --> 01:03:36,440
Speaker 8: That was my personal favorite of my life, though, are

1296
01:03:36,440 --> 01:03:39,520
Speaker 8: you looking for? I mean as much as I look

1297
01:03:39,560 --> 01:03:41,600
Speaker 8: forward to any other halftime show. I liked the Weekend.

1298
01:03:41,720 --> 01:03:43,000
Speaker 8: I did like the Weekend Weekend.

1299
01:03:43,120 --> 01:03:47,200
Speaker 4: I didn't like that one. Sorry, that's what we're all entitled, right.

1300
01:03:47,640 --> 01:03:50,600
Speaker 4: I loved the Justin Timberlake one the Patriots were in

1301
01:03:51,200 --> 01:03:52,040
Speaker 4: a couple of years ago.

1302
01:03:52,720 --> 01:03:54,440
Speaker 2: So I have an opinion on halftime shows.

1303
01:03:54,680 --> 01:03:56,520
Speaker 4: Yes, quickly don't matter.

1304
01:03:56,760 --> 01:03:58,520
Speaker 8: No, not that, it's just that I don't know if

1305
01:03:58,520 --> 01:04:01,520
Speaker 8: we'll ever reach at this point with the advent of

1306
01:04:01,600 --> 01:04:04,240
Speaker 8: the social media and stuff of that, is streaming really

1307
01:04:04,280 --> 01:04:07,840
Speaker 8: more so a like universally great halftime show? Yeah, so

1308
01:04:07,920 --> 01:04:10,280
Speaker 8: there's universally regarded as great because we're not forced to

1309
01:04:10,280 --> 01:04:13,560
Speaker 8: listen to like, for example, you could go your whole

1310
01:04:13,560 --> 01:04:15,400
Speaker 8: life and never listen to a bad Bunny song. That's

1311
01:04:15,400 --> 01:04:16,640
Speaker 8: the most popular artist in the.

1312
01:04:16,560 --> 01:04:19,280
Speaker 4: World, and it's like, you know, I really like I

1313
01:04:19,280 --> 01:04:22,360
Speaker 4: thought the fifty cent one was cool here in Sofi

1314
01:04:22,400 --> 01:04:26,000
Speaker 4: Stadium where they it was like the Avengers. But a

1315
01:04:26,000 --> 01:04:27,960
Speaker 4: lot of younger people online were like, I don't know

1316
01:04:28,000 --> 01:04:30,600
Speaker 4: any of these these artists.

1317
01:04:30,320 --> 01:04:33,880
Speaker 3: Right, well, I like the surprise appearances that that's sort

1318
01:04:33,920 --> 01:04:35,920
Speaker 3: of the unknown, like, you know, somebody shows.

1319
01:04:35,720 --> 01:04:38,120
Speaker 2: Up that wasn't scheduled to show up. Sure, you know,

1320
01:04:38,160 --> 01:04:39,840
Speaker 2: it's like an upset, you know. On the game.

1321
01:04:39,960 --> 01:04:42,760
Speaker 8: There you go from Houston Rockets lee the Oklahoma City

1322
01:04:42,800 --> 01:04:45,560
Speaker 8: Thunder eighty five to seventy six with eleven minutes left

1323
01:04:45,600 --> 01:04:48,640
Speaker 8: in the fourth quarter, Kevin durantk got eleven, Jabari Smith

1324
01:04:48,720 --> 01:04:51,200
Speaker 8: Junior with sixteen, Tari easton the high Man with twenty

1325
01:04:51,240 --> 01:04:55,360
Speaker 8: one for Houston, no SGA for ok See. He's out

1326
01:04:55,400 --> 01:04:58,360
Speaker 8: with that ab straam until after the All Star break.

1327
01:04:58,520 --> 01:05:02,760
Speaker 8: Chet Holmgren has fifteen points elsewhere in the NFL. Kirk

1328
01:05:02,760 --> 01:05:04,560
Speaker 8: Cousin its expected to be released before the start of

1329
01:05:04,560 --> 01:05:06,360
Speaker 8: the new league year in March. He's going to be

1330
01:05:06,360 --> 01:05:08,480
Speaker 8: able to choose where he plays in twenty twenty six.

1331
01:05:08,520 --> 01:05:09,120
Speaker 2: As a result.

1332
01:05:09,800 --> 01:05:12,400
Speaker 8: Marcus Brady following Jesse Mentor from the Chargers to the

1333
01:05:12,480 --> 01:05:15,760
Speaker 8: Ravens as the new passing game coordinating Chargers interviewed him

1334
01:05:15,760 --> 01:05:18,560
Speaker 8: for the OC job that went to Mike McDaniel, the

1335
01:05:18,640 --> 01:05:21,800
Speaker 8: Jets hiring Seth Ryan as their new passing game coordinator.

1336
01:05:21,840 --> 01:05:24,480
Speaker 8: Seth Ryan follows Aaron Glenn from Detroit and follows in

1337
01:05:24,520 --> 01:05:27,400
Speaker 8: the footsteps of Rex and Buddy, who used to look

1338
01:05:27,400 --> 01:05:29,920
Speaker 8: for the Jets as well. Ratt Ryan was with the

1339
01:05:30,000 --> 01:05:33,120
Speaker 8: Lions for five seasons, and Nick Emman wari he suffered

1340
01:05:33,120 --> 01:05:36,320
Speaker 8: that low ankle sprain in practice this week, said he'll

1341
01:05:36,360 --> 01:05:39,240
Speaker 8: be good to go for tomorrow's Super Bowl.

1342
01:05:39,800 --> 01:05:41,400
Speaker 2: All right, Martin, thank you very much.

1343
01:05:41,560 --> 01:05:44,880
Speaker 3: As always, a couple more facts about this game. So

1344
01:05:44,960 --> 01:05:50,280
Speaker 3: the Patriots since two thousand have appeared in ten Super Bowls.

1345
01:05:51,400 --> 01:05:54,120
Speaker 3: Since two thousand and no other team has appeared in

1346
01:05:54,200 --> 01:05:55,160
Speaker 3: more than five.

1347
01:05:56,520 --> 01:05:58,360
Speaker 2: Cheat code how about that.

1348
01:05:59,160 --> 01:06:01,000
Speaker 3: By the way, this New England team is the first

1349
01:06:01,040 --> 01:06:03,800
Speaker 3: team ever to get to the Super Bowl a year

1350
01:06:03,880 --> 01:06:09,680
Speaker 3: after losing thirteen games. So you know, even though this

1351
01:06:09,760 --> 01:06:14,520
Speaker 3: is a completely different cast from the last New England

1352
01:06:14,600 --> 01:06:17,040
Speaker 3: team that made it to the Super Bowl.

1353
01:06:17,360 --> 01:06:19,680
Speaker 2: The fact is they are the New England Patriot.

1354
01:06:19,720 --> 01:06:22,040
Speaker 4: Kind of fun having the annoying Pats fans back in

1355
01:06:22,040 --> 01:06:22,720
Speaker 4: the group chat.

1356
01:06:22,920 --> 01:06:23,120
Speaker 1: You know.

1357
01:06:23,240 --> 01:06:25,480
Speaker 3: Okay, well now I want to get back to your

1358
01:06:25,920 --> 01:06:28,760
Speaker 3: your time here in San Francisco. All right, so what

1359
01:06:28,800 --> 01:06:32,520
Speaker 3: would you say was the ratio of Patriots fans versus

1360
01:06:32,600 --> 01:06:34,439
Speaker 3: Seahawks fans that you saw there?

1361
01:06:34,520 --> 01:06:36,600
Speaker 4: So I got there pretty early in the week, right

1362
01:06:36,640 --> 01:06:42,240
Speaker 4: and fans were, you know, trickling, and I would say

1363
01:06:42,600 --> 01:06:46,720
Speaker 4: I feel like it was maybe like fifty forty five

1364
01:06:47,320 --> 01:06:50,080
Speaker 4: Pats fans. But I also, you know, I didn't see

1365
01:06:50,080 --> 01:06:52,280
Speaker 4: a lot of fans. I was in the convention center

1366
01:06:52,280 --> 01:06:56,120
Speaker 4: where they weren't allowed, so but walking around the streets

1367
01:06:55,920 --> 01:07:00,000
Speaker 4: as the week progressed, I think I noticed more paid.

1368
01:07:00,560 --> 01:07:02,360
Speaker 3: One of the problems you have when you have a

1369
01:07:02,400 --> 01:07:07,160
Speaker 3: game in a city where there's a team and they

1370
01:07:07,240 --> 01:07:10,400
Speaker 3: don't make it, yeah, is that you got I remember

1371
01:07:10,440 --> 01:07:13,919
Speaker 3: when the Chargers had their one trip to the super Bowl.

1372
01:07:14,040 --> 01:07:16,600
Speaker 3: The game was down in Miami and they had upset

1373
01:07:16,640 --> 01:07:20,040
Speaker 3: the Dolphins in one of the playoff games, and you know,

1374
01:07:20,080 --> 01:07:21,360
Speaker 3: I leave San Diego and.

1375
01:07:21,360 --> 01:07:22,160
Speaker 2: They're going crazy.

1376
01:07:22,520 --> 01:07:23,080
Speaker 4: I tried it.

1377
01:07:23,280 --> 01:07:25,560
Speaker 3: Finally in the Super Bowl, I get to Miami and

1378
01:07:25,680 --> 01:07:29,160
Speaker 3: like they are so pissed off. So did you get

1379
01:07:29,160 --> 01:07:32,080
Speaker 3: a sense with forty nine or fans around like I

1380
01:07:32,080 --> 01:07:34,080
Speaker 3: have really the Seahawks.

1381
01:07:33,520 --> 01:07:35,920
Speaker 4: And you know, no, no, I don't. I don't think

1382
01:07:35,920 --> 01:07:37,680
Speaker 4: it was like that. I think, you know, they're just

1383
01:07:38,320 --> 01:07:42,400
Speaker 4: you could sense that their team, against all odds, was

1384
01:07:42,440 --> 01:07:44,960
Speaker 4: still in the conversation close to the end, right, and

1385
01:07:45,080 --> 01:07:48,600
Speaker 4: so probably just a little bit. I mean, and forty

1386
01:07:48,680 --> 01:07:51,680
Speaker 4: nine Ers players were everywhere, very notably. I mean, that's

1387
01:07:51,680 --> 01:07:54,680
Speaker 4: cool because it's the host city, right. But oh, side note,

1388
01:07:54,720 --> 01:07:56,800
Speaker 4: Christian McCaffrey apparently was playing piano.

1389
01:07:57,520 --> 01:07:59,040
Speaker 2: Yes, I said, it was really cool.

1390
01:07:59,240 --> 01:08:00,800
Speaker 4: Yeah he did that.

1391
01:08:01,040 --> 01:08:03,160
Speaker 3: No, he's a man of many towns. I was just

1392
01:08:03,160 --> 01:08:05,480
Speaker 3: happy to see him be healthy this year, and you know,

1393
01:08:05,560 --> 01:08:07,439
Speaker 3: the league needs their stars to be out there.

1394
01:08:07,480 --> 01:08:07,840
Speaker 4: Exactly.

1395
01:08:08,000 --> 01:08:09,480
Speaker 2: Did you go to the fan Experience?

1396
01:08:10,040 --> 01:08:12,080
Speaker 4: No, I did not. I was at a lot of

1397
01:08:12,200 --> 01:08:14,760
Speaker 4: activations throughout the city. I did. When I got there

1398
01:08:14,800 --> 01:08:18,360
Speaker 4: on Tuesday, before I had really any work obligations. I

1399
01:08:18,400 --> 01:08:20,800
Speaker 4: hopped in a cable car wrote it down to Fisherman's

1400
01:08:20,800 --> 01:08:23,800
Speaker 4: Wharf and it was so fun. You know, I haven't

1401
01:08:23,840 --> 01:08:27,240
Speaker 4: been in the city since before COVID, so it was

1402
01:08:27,360 --> 01:08:29,960
Speaker 4: cool because I think it was hit really hard by COVID,

1403
01:08:30,000 --> 01:08:32,840
Speaker 4: and then now it's back to life. It's bustling and

1404
01:08:33,160 --> 01:08:35,360
Speaker 4: it's gorgeous, great weather all week too.

1405
01:08:35,560 --> 01:08:36,559
Speaker 2: One of the ais things.

1406
01:08:36,720 --> 01:08:38,800
Speaker 3: I would go to San Francisco a lot way back

1407
01:08:38,840 --> 01:08:40,840
Speaker 3: in the day, you know, even when I worked for

1408
01:08:40,880 --> 01:08:43,240
Speaker 3: the Raiders, we always played the forty nine Ers preseason,

1409
01:08:44,120 --> 01:08:48,200
Speaker 3: and you would drive in to the city and you

1410
01:08:48,200 --> 01:08:51,400
Speaker 3: could see Candlestick Park because it was out on the peninsula.

1411
01:08:51,479 --> 01:08:52,479
Speaker 2: You could always see that.

1412
01:08:53,000 --> 01:08:57,120
Speaker 3: And the first time I returned to San Francisco's same

1413
01:08:57,280 --> 01:08:58,920
Speaker 3: highway and it.

1414
01:08:58,920 --> 01:09:01,799
Speaker 2: Was gone, it was weird.

1415
01:09:02,080 --> 01:09:04,840
Speaker 3: I mean, like I mean for me, you know, because

1416
01:09:04,880 --> 01:09:07,439
Speaker 3: I'm so in tune with stadiums. It would be like

1417
01:09:07,720 --> 01:09:09,880
Speaker 3: you go to Paris and the Eiffel Towers got or

1418
01:09:10,120 --> 01:09:11,720
Speaker 3: he you know, that type of thing. It was just

1419
01:09:11,800 --> 01:09:14,800
Speaker 3: so weird having been on that road coming into the

1420
01:09:14,840 --> 01:09:17,960
Speaker 3: city you could see Candlestick Park out on the peninsula.

1421
01:09:18,000 --> 01:09:22,040
Speaker 3: And then it just vanished the fact that they could

1422
01:09:22,040 --> 01:09:24,120
Speaker 3: not get an inner you know.

1423
01:09:24,120 --> 01:09:25,880
Speaker 2: That's that whole noise about.

1424
01:09:26,360 --> 01:09:31,839
Speaker 3: The city had approved, had already approved through a vote

1425
01:09:31,880 --> 01:09:35,800
Speaker 3: to have a inner city stadium for the forty.

1426
01:09:35,600 --> 01:09:37,400
Speaker 2: Nine Ers and everything else, and then.

1427
01:09:37,680 --> 01:09:40,160
Speaker 3: Politics got involved, and the next thing, you know, they

1428
01:09:40,240 --> 01:09:43,080
Speaker 3: dragged it out to Santa Claara.

1429
01:09:43,200 --> 01:09:45,800
Speaker 2: But they got the Chase Center, they did, and they

1430
01:09:45,800 --> 01:09:47,799
Speaker 2: get to you know, you get to host Super Bowls

1431
01:09:47,800 --> 01:09:50,120
Speaker 2: all the time and other major events out there.

1432
01:09:50,320 --> 01:09:52,080
Speaker 4: I think you can make the case oracle might be

1433
01:09:52,120 --> 01:09:54,880
Speaker 4: that one of the coolest ballparks in the country. Yes,

1434
01:09:56,000 --> 01:09:57,960
Speaker 4: I would love to say in a kayak during a

1435
01:09:57,960 --> 01:09:59,000
Speaker 4: baseball game out there.

1436
01:09:59,080 --> 01:10:00,240
Speaker 2: Would you like to do that? Yeah?

1437
01:10:00,240 --> 01:10:01,400
Speaker 4: I think that'd be so fun.

1438
01:10:01,640 --> 01:10:03,840
Speaker 3: The crazy thing about the old Candlestick Park because it

1439
01:10:03,880 --> 01:10:06,040
Speaker 3: was on the peninsula. When they first built that place,

1440
01:10:06,360 --> 01:10:08,320
Speaker 3: it was beautiful because it was during the day.

1441
01:10:08,640 --> 01:10:08,840
Speaker 4: Yep.

1442
01:10:08,960 --> 01:10:12,160
Speaker 3: They didn't realize about the winds at night. And that

1443
01:10:12,360 --> 01:10:14,040
Speaker 3: was the craziest place. I went to a game where

1444
01:10:14,040 --> 01:10:17,440
Speaker 3: there were once a baseball game. I remember the shadows

1445
01:10:17,439 --> 01:10:20,880
Speaker 3: were coming in and I was walking upstairs from the

1446
01:10:20,920 --> 01:10:23,519
Speaker 3: sunlight into the shadow to you know, get a couple

1447
01:10:23,560 --> 01:10:26,719
Speaker 3: of beers or something. The second I stepped into the shade,

1448
01:10:26,800 --> 01:10:28,679
Speaker 3: I swear the temperature dropped twenty degrees.

1449
01:10:28,920 --> 01:10:29,280
Speaker 4: It crazy.

1450
01:10:29,320 --> 01:10:31,639
Speaker 3: It was so weird because I took a step back like, okay,

1451
01:10:31,640 --> 01:10:33,679
Speaker 3: I'm good, am I having a hot fast?

1452
01:10:34,240 --> 01:10:36,360
Speaker 2: What happened here? And it was that's real.

1453
01:10:36,479 --> 01:10:39,200
Speaker 4: It is crazy because it's probably in a ballpark like

1454
01:10:39,240 --> 01:10:41,080
Speaker 4: that it just never sees the light of day. If

1455
01:10:41,120 --> 01:10:43,200
Speaker 4: you're in the shade, you're in the shade. You're in

1456
01:10:43,240 --> 01:10:43,719
Speaker 4: the shade.

1457
01:10:44,400 --> 01:10:46,840
Speaker 3: So anyway, Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara will be the

1458
01:10:46,880 --> 01:10:50,600
Speaker 3: host of this game. And last time, I said, I

1459
01:10:50,640 --> 01:10:53,599
Speaker 3: was there ten years ago, last time they hosted a

1460
01:10:53,640 --> 01:10:57,200
Speaker 3: Super Bowl. There a couple other facts about this game.

1461
01:10:57,240 --> 01:11:01,439
Speaker 3: Are you a Mike Tarico fan? Yes, because this is

1462
01:11:01,479 --> 01:11:02,120
Speaker 3: for a Super Bowl?

1463
01:11:02,160 --> 01:11:02,960
Speaker 4: He's so likable.

1464
01:11:03,120 --> 01:11:03,559
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1465
01:11:03,840 --> 01:11:05,720
Speaker 4: And then isn't he getting on a plane and flying

1466
01:11:05,760 --> 01:11:11,920
Speaker 4: straight to me lan Yes? Remarkable, But also as someone

1467
01:11:12,120 --> 01:11:14,880
Speaker 4: you know in the industry, I'm like, give give him

1468
01:11:14,960 --> 01:11:17,280
Speaker 4: more people shots. But he is the best of the

1469
01:11:17,320 --> 01:11:18,120
Speaker 4: best so well.

1470
01:11:18,160 --> 01:11:20,160
Speaker 3: I mean, you know a lot of guys have done

1471
01:11:20,200 --> 01:11:21,840
Speaker 3: this where you're the voice of the network. I mean

1472
01:11:21,920 --> 01:11:24,519
Speaker 3: Joe Buck obviously is sort of that and everything else where.

1473
01:11:24,520 --> 01:11:25,080
Speaker 2: You've got to be.

1474
01:11:25,040 --> 01:11:28,320
Speaker 3: Everywhere costas you know, for years of the NBC used

1475
01:11:28,320 --> 01:11:30,320
Speaker 3: to do this where he's there there, he has to

1476
01:11:30,320 --> 01:11:32,559
Speaker 3: be somewhere. I mean, it's not an event without him.

1477
01:11:32,720 --> 01:11:33,160
Speaker 3: I don't know.

1478
01:11:33,400 --> 01:11:34,599
Speaker 2: Do you like all that travel?

1479
01:11:35,200 --> 01:11:39,200
Speaker 4: Yes? I would be so thrilled to have that as

1480
01:11:39,280 --> 01:11:41,800
Speaker 4: part of my calendar. Oh hey, you're going to cover

1481
01:11:42,040 --> 01:11:43,320
Speaker 4: your you know, you you.

1482
01:11:43,240 --> 01:11:45,240
Speaker 2: See Nikki, you're young, you see, that's the whole thing.

1483
01:11:45,320 --> 01:11:47,920
Speaker 3: You know, when I was you know, obviously did a

1484
01:11:48,000 --> 01:11:49,559
Speaker 3: lot of traveling way back in the day.

1485
01:11:49,600 --> 01:11:51,919
Speaker 4: But yeah, I like the travel component.

1486
01:11:52,080 --> 01:11:52,640
Speaker 2: Do you like him?

1487
01:11:52,720 --> 01:11:54,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think I would like to be a sideline

1488
01:11:54,680 --> 01:11:57,240
Speaker 4: Well no, not a sideline reporter, but you know when

1489
01:11:57,240 --> 01:11:59,639
Speaker 4: you're just covering the game, big game of the week

1490
01:11:59,680 --> 01:12:00,679
Speaker 4: and you're all over the country.

1491
01:12:00,920 --> 01:12:02,599
Speaker 3: Well, this is the thing about being a play by play.

1492
01:12:02,640 --> 01:12:05,040
Speaker 3: You know, early in my radio career, years and years,

1493
01:12:05,080 --> 01:12:05,360
Speaker 3: they're like.

1494
01:12:05,360 --> 01:12:06,639
Speaker 2: Dude, why didn't you do play by play?

1495
01:12:06,680 --> 01:12:09,400
Speaker 4: I got no way. You're on the road where I

1496
01:12:09,439 --> 01:12:12,599
Speaker 4: am on the road all the time. I was like, no,

1497
01:12:12,880 --> 01:12:16,960
Speaker 4: you just you just celebrated an important award I did.

1498
01:12:17,000 --> 01:12:17,200
Speaker 2: I got.

1499
01:12:17,439 --> 01:12:20,320
Speaker 3: I got inducked in the Southern California Sports Broadcasters Hall.

1500
01:12:20,240 --> 01:12:23,320
Speaker 2: Of Fame, and you had Eric Dickerson, Eric Dickerson and

1501
01:12:23,360 --> 01:12:23,759
Speaker 2: the guys.

1502
01:12:23,800 --> 01:12:27,400
Speaker 3: I still have Eric's Hall of Fame jacket. So Eric

1503
01:12:27,439 --> 01:12:30,639
Speaker 3: showed up, and Eric said a little controversial this week with.

1504
01:12:30,600 --> 01:12:33,120
Speaker 2: Some of his bad Benny comments. So my buddy's out there.

1505
01:12:33,920 --> 01:12:35,920
Speaker 2: But anyway, Eric showed up. I'd asked him to be

1506
01:12:35,960 --> 01:12:36,559
Speaker 2: my presenter.

1507
01:12:36,600 --> 01:12:39,040
Speaker 3: We've been friends for many years, and he showed up

1508
01:12:39,040 --> 01:12:40,720
Speaker 3: wearing his gold jacket and I was.

1509
01:12:40,720 --> 01:12:42,719
Speaker 4: Like, did you're an upstage make on? Man?

1510
01:12:42,880 --> 01:12:44,479
Speaker 2: I was, well, I was just sort of like, I've

1511
01:12:44,520 --> 01:12:45,519
Speaker 2: never seen you wear that.

1512
01:12:45,560 --> 01:12:47,479
Speaker 3: He goes, I never wear this thing, but I thought

1513
01:12:47,520 --> 01:12:49,560
Speaker 3: for your big event, you know, I'm gonna wear the

1514
01:12:49,880 --> 01:12:51,760
Speaker 3: Hall of Fame jacket. Right. So he got up there

1515
01:12:51,800 --> 01:12:53,720
Speaker 3: and he said all these nice things, and then as

1516
01:12:53,760 --> 01:12:56,760
Speaker 3: I'm gonna walk up on the stage, he takes his

1517
01:12:56,800 --> 01:12:58,360
Speaker 3: coat off and he put it on me. He goes,

1518
01:12:58,400 --> 01:13:00,000
Speaker 3: I want you to wear my Hall of Fame jacket.

1519
01:13:00,160 --> 01:13:02,519
Speaker 3: So when I gave my speech, yeah, I was wearing that.

1520
01:13:02,760 --> 01:13:03,679
Speaker 2: But then he left.

1521
01:13:03,760 --> 01:13:06,000
Speaker 3: After that, I had to do some other things, and

1522
01:13:06,040 --> 01:13:07,640
Speaker 3: he left his jack and said, yeah, I'll pick it

1523
01:13:07,720 --> 01:13:10,360
Speaker 3: up later because he don't live far from me, and

1524
01:13:11,000 --> 01:13:13,760
Speaker 3: he hasn't picked it up yet, so it's still sitting there.

1525
01:13:13,840 --> 01:13:16,479
Speaker 4: That's that's awesome, And first of all, congratulations, thank you.

1526

Speaker 4: being in the area and having you know, the voice

1528
01:13:22,240 --> 01:13:26,280
Speaker 4: and the resume of his career. I remember when I

01:13:26,320 --> 01:13:28,280
Speaker 4: first moved back to la I had a friend in

1530
01:13:28,320 --> 01:13:30,559

Speaker 2: my ex because she was always at these parties.

1538
01:13:50,120 --> 01:13:52,839
Speaker 4: Just beside your ex. I was sitting at a table

1539
01:13:53,080 --> 01:13:57,479
Speaker 4: with the great Tommy Lasorda. Yes, and we were talking.

1540
01:13:57,600 --> 01:13:59,200
Speaker 4: This was a couple of years ago. I think it

1541
01:13:59,280 --> 01:14:02,120
Speaker 4: was like twenty It was twenty twenty before COVID hit,

1542
01:14:02,240 --> 01:14:03,879

1547
01:14:13,080 --> 01:14:15,240
Speaker 4: It was a little bit taken over, right, considering it

01:14:33,439 --> 01:14:35,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I had to do last speech on then,

1558
01:14:35,080 --> 01:14:36,519
Speaker 3: I'd say, had to sort of get a feel for

1559
01:14:36,600 --> 01:14:36,960
Speaker 3: the room.

1560
01:14:37,120 --> 01:14:38,679
Speaker 4: You know that time the jacket heavy?

1561
01:14:39,680 --> 01:14:42,920
Speaker 3: No, actually surprisingly not. You know who makes those jackets, Hagar?

1562
01:14:43,640 --> 01:14:44,920
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, wow?

1563
01:14:45,000 --> 01:14:47,200
Speaker 2: All right, yeah, who would know that? I didn't know

1564
01:14:47,240 --> 01:14:48,360
Speaker 2: that she'll actually put it on.

1565
01:14:48,520 --> 01:14:50,760
Speaker 3: All right, coming up, we're going to make sort of

1566
01:14:50,840 --> 01:14:53,600
Speaker 3: some of our predictions on what to see, not necessarily

1567
01:14:53,640 --> 01:14:57,559
Speaker 3: who's going to win the game, but maybe maybe Nikky's

1568
01:14:57,560 --> 01:15:00,280
Speaker 3: got a prop bet that she really likes, right, one

1569
01:15:00,320 --> 01:15:03,040
Speaker 3: that she really likes and haven't been there all week,

1570
01:15:03,520 --> 01:15:06,200
Speaker 3: maybe a better feel of what's gonna happen in this game.

01:16:01,640 --> 01:16:04,360

1591
01:16:05,160 --> 01:16:09,679
Speaker 7: he started radio roads I did. Those two things are true.

1592
01:16:09,880 --> 01:16:12,480
Speaker 7: A lot of the rest of the stuff is fastly overrated.

1593

Speaker 7: Okay for a bow and Chris, guys, are we ready

Speaker 7: five hours.

1596
01:16:19,840 --> 01:16:22,639

1597
01:16:22,720 --> 01:16:26,000
Speaker 3: in the East coast, basically going up until what half

1598
01:16:26,000 --> 01:16:29,640
Speaker 3: hour before the game, So we do five hours.

1599
01:16:29,439 --> 01:16:33,080
Speaker 2: That's right, We got to figure that out. Okay, thank

1600
01:16:33,120 --> 01:16:34,840
Speaker 2: you very let's put that in your brain right now.

1601
01:16:34,840 --> 01:16:36,880
Speaker 4: I got to start the day off strong, and you

1602
01:16:36,880 --> 01:16:37,439
Speaker 4: do have.

1603
01:16:37,400 --> 01:16:41,040
Speaker 3: To figure out something for tomorrow, so you'll figure that out.

1604
01:16:41,560 --> 01:16:44,439
Speaker 3: Great job today as well, guys. All right, so here

1605
01:16:44,439 --> 01:16:47,840
Speaker 3: we are, Nikki was get ready for the big game tomorrow.

1606
01:16:47,880 --> 01:16:51,360
Speaker 3: So I know you've been thinking about some prop bets,

1607
01:16:51,439 --> 01:16:54,160
Speaker 3: right have you? Do you have any any prop bets

1608
01:16:54,160 --> 01:16:55,200
Speaker 3: that intrigued you?

1609
01:16:55,439 --> 01:16:58,400
Speaker 4: So I'm always I love the Gatorade color one just

1610
01:16:58,400 --> 01:17:01,000
Speaker 4: because it's fun. I was just doing a little research

1611
01:17:01,080 --> 01:17:03,960
Speaker 4: right there. It looks like I think orange has the

1612
01:17:03,960 --> 01:17:07,280
Speaker 4: best odds right now because it's been the most the

1613
01:17:07,280 --> 01:17:10,280
Speaker 4: most frequent in rotation since like twenty eleven or two

1614
01:17:10,320 --> 01:17:15,799
Speaker 4: thousand and one. I like the odds you're getting for lime,

1615
01:17:16,160 --> 01:17:19,960
Speaker 4: Lemon lime real well, that's my favorite Catoride regardless.

1616
01:17:20,280 --> 01:17:23,760
Speaker 3: By the way I understand, Yog, the Patriots are going

1617
01:17:23,800 --> 01:17:26,360
Speaker 3: to wear their white jerseys white.

1618
01:17:26,280 --> 01:17:27,960
Speaker 4: Because they're road warriors.

1619
01:17:28,240 --> 01:17:31,960
Speaker 2: They've never actually worn that combination in a Super Bowl

1620
01:17:32,360 --> 01:17:32,920
Speaker 2: with both the.

1621
01:17:32,840 --> 01:17:35,280
Speaker 4: White jersey, maybe to signify the new era.

1622
01:17:36,600 --> 01:17:38,360
Speaker 3: You know, if I were if I were going to

1623
01:17:38,520 --> 01:17:44,520
Speaker 3: lean to a color for the Gatorade, I'm leaning blue.

1624
01:17:44,200 --> 01:17:46,760
Speaker 4: Right because you think it appeals to both teams.

1625
01:17:47,120 --> 01:17:53,639
Speaker 2: I do anybody going purple. It's like a flyer in purple.

1626
01:17:53,640 --> 01:17:57,040
Speaker 5: Okay, yeah, blue is plus two twenty three on my Okay,

1627
01:17:57,120 --> 01:17:59,840
Speaker 5: my purple's plus five twenty five. I like the purple,

1628
01:18:00,160 --> 01:18:00,760
Speaker 5: to be honest with.

1629
01:18:00,680 --> 01:18:03,920
Speaker 4: You, Yeah, that's good value. I don't know what it

1630
01:18:03,960 --> 01:18:04,559
Speaker 4: was last year.

1631
01:18:04,600 --> 01:18:06,400
Speaker 7: I feel like I don't remember if it's ever been

1632
01:18:06,439 --> 01:18:08,240
Speaker 7: purple in the Super Bowl, but I do feel like

1633
01:18:08,360 --> 01:18:11,400
Speaker 7: when I see gatorade baths for like college games, so

1634
01:18:11,479 --> 01:18:13,559
Speaker 7: there's a lot of purple. I feel like I feel

1635
01:18:13,600 --> 01:18:15,760
Speaker 7: like it's well represented. I'm just trying to figure out.

1636
01:18:16,280 --> 01:18:20,200
Speaker 4: Did you know clear also has a spot clearer water?

1637
01:18:20,360 --> 01:18:22,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, Clear Waters plus eleven fifty.

1638
01:18:23,320 --> 01:18:25,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, they got to get a color. I would I

1639
01:18:25,760 --> 01:18:27,960
Speaker 4: know there's an article out by the Athletic of how

1640
01:18:27,960 --> 01:18:31,280
Speaker 4: they are something out by the Athletic of how they

1641
01:18:31,320 --> 01:18:33,679
Speaker 4: keep it secret. I would love to know that.

1642
01:18:33,600 --> 01:18:37,280
Speaker 5: Little so Eagles last year were yellow. Okay, so Jeeves

1643
01:18:37,320 --> 01:18:40,599
Speaker 5: back to back were purple blue for the Rams, blue

1644
01:18:40,600 --> 01:18:41,520
Speaker 5: for the Bucks.

1645
01:18:42,000 --> 01:18:45,000
Speaker 4: So it's been repeating the color the past.

1646
01:18:45,400 --> 01:18:48,519
Speaker 5: The Patriots last Super Bowl when they were blue and

1647
01:18:48,560 --> 01:18:51,800
Speaker 5: the Seahawks win, they were orange.

1648
01:18:53,479 --> 01:18:57,960
Speaker 3: Here's another stat that my favorite the Patriots. So this

1649
01:18:58,080 --> 01:19:02,599
Speaker 3: is the tenth Super Bowl REMA. Two teams facing each

1650
01:19:02,640 --> 01:19:05,320
Speaker 3: other again in a Super Bowl game. The winner of

1651
01:19:05,400 --> 01:19:08,599
Speaker 3: the first meeting is six and three.

1652
01:19:08,840 --> 01:19:12,840
Speaker 2: Wow. Now, of course last year we had a rematch

1653
01:19:13,160 --> 01:19:14,400
Speaker 2: and it was a different outcome.

1654
01:19:15,120 --> 01:19:20,000
Speaker 4: So yep. But I know there sometimes if you just

1655
01:19:20,040 --> 01:19:23,599
Speaker 4: get into two, into those numbers, it's like whoever wins

1656
01:19:23,600 --> 01:19:27,959
Speaker 4: the coin toss or whenever you know the Super Bowl successful.

1657
01:19:28,120 --> 01:19:30,040
Speaker 2: Let me ask you about the coin toss heads or tails?

1658
01:19:30,720 --> 01:19:31,479
Speaker 2: What's it going to be?

1659
01:19:31,600 --> 01:19:33,760
Speaker 4: Ooh, I think it's gonna beat tails? What about you?

1660
01:19:35,000 --> 01:19:40,120
Speaker 2: I'm going heads? All right, I'm going heads. I'm going heads.

1661
01:19:40,120 --> 01:19:43,400
Speaker 2: So many good stories this year. But getting back to

1662
01:19:43,439 --> 01:19:43,800
Speaker 2: the you know.

1663
01:19:43,840 --> 01:19:47,320
Speaker 4: Just I think Jackson Smith NA is going to be

1664
01:19:48,400 --> 01:19:50,840
Speaker 4: Oh MVP, are you.

1665
01:19:50,800 --> 01:19:53,599
Speaker 2: Ready for this? I got I got a prediction. I predict.

1666
01:19:53,640 --> 01:19:56,280
Speaker 3: First of all, you're going with Smith and Jigba. I

1667
01:19:56,360 --> 01:19:58,400
Speaker 3: predict neither one of these quarterbacks will be the Super

1668
01:19:58,439 --> 01:19:59,080
Speaker 3: Bowl and VP.

1669
01:19:59,360 --> 01:19:59,760
Speaker 5: I like that.

1670
01:20:00,080 --> 01:20:05,640
Speaker 2: But if New England wins my prediction super long shot

1671
01:20:06,920 --> 01:20:10,320
Speaker 2: hunter Henry, Oh wow, that is don't do this to me.

1672
01:20:10,439 --> 01:20:11,960
Speaker 2: You don't even know what you're doing to me right now?

1673
01:20:12,040 --> 01:20:14,559
Speaker 3: And My reason I say that is I could just

1674
01:20:14,600 --> 01:20:17,040
Speaker 3: see him catching a couple of touchdown passes in the

1675
01:20:17,080 --> 01:20:20,640
Speaker 3: red zone. He's a veteran tight end. No tight end,

1676
01:20:20,640 --> 01:20:22,920
Speaker 3: by the way, has ever won the Super Bowl MVP Award.

1677
01:20:23,000 --> 01:20:24,519
Speaker 4: A real big stretch, Steve.

1678
01:20:25,120 --> 01:20:29,360
Speaker 2: But if New England wins, I'm going with Hunter Henry Seattle.

1679
01:20:30,360 --> 01:20:34,320
Speaker 2: I think Kenneth Walker will be the MVP. I don't

1680
01:20:34,320 --> 01:20:36,360
Speaker 2: think either quarterback is gonna be the MVP of this game.

1681
01:20:36,840 --> 01:20:38,679
Speaker 4: I'm going JSN Seahawks win.

1682
01:20:39,240 --> 01:20:41,040
Speaker 2: All right, So have you decided which friend you're going

1683
01:20:41,080 --> 01:20:42,320
Speaker 2: to join for the game tomorrow? You have?

1684
01:20:42,840 --> 01:20:45,160
Speaker 4: I think I think I've got a couple of options.

1685
01:20:45,320 --> 01:20:46,840
Speaker 4: Go mix it up, meet some new people.

1686
01:20:47,080 --> 01:20:50,479
Speaker 2: You're on the South pay these days. Yes, that's going

1687
01:20:50,560 --> 01:20:51,160
Speaker 2: to be a lot of fun.

1688
01:20:51,200 --> 01:20:54,120
Speaker 3: Every day we make great stuff. Have a great day tomorrow,

1689
01:20:54,320 --> 01:20:56,479
Speaker 3: and we will as well keep it there For all
