1
00:00:06,413 --> 00:00:08,933
Speaker 1: NFL Covers Zero with Matt Jones and Drew Franklin is

2
00:00:08,933 --> 00:00:21,813
Speaker 1: a production of the NFL and iHeart podcast. World Championship

3
00:00:21,893 --> 00:00:26,133
Speaker 1: Games just finished and it is NFL Cover zero Matt.

4
00:00:25,933 --> 00:00:27,333
Speaker 2: Jones and Drew Franklin.

5
00:00:27,653 --> 00:00:34,733
Speaker 1: All three including Billy, snowed in in Lexington and Louisville, Kentucky.

6
00:00:35,253 --> 00:00:38,053
Speaker 1: Not as much snow as they told us we were

7
00:00:38,053 --> 00:00:40,493
Speaker 1: going to get. They told us we were going to

8
00:00:40,533 --> 00:00:44,133
Speaker 1: get zero snow or excuse me, like a foot of snow.

9
00:00:44,813 --> 00:00:47,493
Speaker 1: We got like six inches. I think Lexington only got

10
00:00:47,533 --> 00:00:50,973
Speaker 1: like four, So it's a little disappointing. But now I

11
00:00:51,093 --> 00:00:53,093
Speaker 1: wonder what a foot would look like because you still

12
00:00:53,133 --> 00:00:56,973
Speaker 1: can't move in Louisville. So and there are obviously places

13
00:00:57,013 --> 00:01:00,293
Speaker 1: in the country where it's even worse, in Tennessee and Mississippi.

14
00:01:00,333 --> 00:01:04,493
Speaker 1: So a lot of the country snowed in, iceed in

15
00:01:05,333 --> 00:01:06,493
Speaker 1: for these games.

16
00:01:07,413 --> 00:01:10,172
Speaker 3: Yeah, here Lexingon, we got the snow, the ice on top.

17
00:01:10,173 --> 00:01:12,253
Speaker 3: I actually went outside to shovel my driveway and it

18
00:01:12,333 --> 00:01:14,053
Speaker 3: was just there's just like a block of ice. So

19
00:01:14,092 --> 00:01:15,853
Speaker 3: I just smacked it a few times and walked back

20
00:01:15,853 --> 00:01:18,053
Speaker 3: in and gave up. So pretty nasty here, even though

21
00:01:18,053 --> 00:01:20,252
Speaker 3: it wasn't quite what you got. And then it saw

22
00:01:20,253 --> 00:01:22,212
Speaker 3: a little bit of Denver too. It's pretty fun to

23
00:01:22,212 --> 00:01:23,333
Speaker 3: watch that in the games today.

24
00:01:23,452 --> 00:01:26,932
Speaker 1: I'm by the way I am. I am anti shoveling.

25
00:01:27,413 --> 00:01:31,253
Speaker 1: I came to that conclusion today. No, I mean everybody

26
00:01:31,292 --> 00:01:33,493
Speaker 1: immediately wants to go shovel. Now, if you can't get

27
00:01:33,493 --> 00:01:36,773
Speaker 1: out for whatever reason, then that's a different scenario.

28
00:01:37,092 --> 00:01:39,613
Speaker 2: But explain to me why people always want to shovel.

29
00:01:39,613 --> 00:01:41,572
Speaker 2: Why can't you just walk through it?

30
00:01:43,493 --> 00:01:45,773
Speaker 3: Well, I have a very steep driveway, Like if I

31
00:01:45,813 --> 00:01:47,413
Speaker 3: were one, why you have to shove?

32
00:01:48,013 --> 00:01:52,892
Speaker 1: I understand that, But like people who shovel their sidewalk,

33
00:01:53,453 --> 00:01:54,853
Speaker 1: why don't you just walk through the snow?

34
00:01:54,933 --> 00:01:58,333
Speaker 3: Billy take care of your Amazon guy, your package delivery.

35
00:01:58,573 --> 00:02:03,413
Speaker 3: Well that's okay, that's a good argument. Now, you know

36
00:02:03,453 --> 00:02:05,613
Speaker 3: what I didn't even think about that. That is that

37
00:02:05,773 --> 00:02:07,413
Speaker 3: is I don't have a shovel.

38
00:02:08,933 --> 00:02:11,693
Speaker 2: So one of that shocks us. That's completely shocks us.

39
00:02:12,573 --> 00:02:16,013
Speaker 2: I don't have a shovel. I have a one brush.

40
00:02:16,133 --> 00:02:19,053
Speaker 2: I went outside and brushed all the snow off my car.

41
00:02:19,813 --> 00:02:21,853
Speaker 2: But I actually don't know if that's a good idea,

42
00:02:21,893 --> 00:02:22,813
Speaker 2: because I feel like now.

43
00:02:22,733 --> 00:02:26,573
Speaker 1: It'll just ice up, But yeah, I didn't think about

44
00:02:26,573 --> 00:02:28,333
Speaker 1: the Amazon and the post office people.

45
00:02:28,413 --> 00:02:28,853
Speaker 2: Good point.

46
00:02:28,853 --> 00:02:30,613
Speaker 3: You never know when somebody's gonna come ring the doorbell.

47
00:02:30,613 --> 00:02:32,653
Speaker 3: Don't your neighbors come over and visit check on you.

48
00:02:32,813 --> 00:02:34,613
Speaker 3: You're going to give them a clear path why you

49
00:02:34,653 --> 00:02:37,733
Speaker 3: should do it, because I do get packages. That's exactly

50
00:02:37,813 --> 00:02:39,853
Speaker 3: why you should do it. And now I feel rude

51
00:02:39,933 --> 00:02:42,733
Speaker 3: for not having thought about it. It's okay, nobody in

52
00:02:42,773 --> 00:02:44,413
Speaker 3: my neighborhood has done it. I was the only one

53
00:02:44,413 --> 00:02:46,893
Speaker 3: out there, so tough times right now. I don't think

54
00:02:46,933 --> 00:02:50,413
Speaker 3: Amazon's out and this mess with that we got well.

55
00:02:51,333 --> 00:02:55,453
Speaker 1: I saw I have friends in Oxford, Mississippi, and it

56
00:02:55,533 --> 00:02:59,173
Speaker 1: looks awful there. I mean they got like two inches

57
00:02:59,213 --> 00:03:02,213
Speaker 1: of ice. You know the square which is the center

58
00:03:02,253 --> 00:03:06,773
Speaker 1: circle there. Trees are everywhere you and I walked through

59
00:03:06,813 --> 00:03:09,613
Speaker 1: that many times. All those houses, like all the trees

60
00:03:09,613 --> 00:03:13,613
Speaker 1: are down. I think I saw thirty thousand different places

61
00:03:13,653 --> 00:03:16,613
Speaker 1: have power and twenty nine thousand, five hundred of them

62
00:03:16,653 --> 00:03:18,853
Speaker 1: are out. I don't know if the other five hundred

63
00:03:18,853 --> 00:03:21,853
Speaker 1: people are all taunting them, but it looks just it

64
00:03:21,973 --> 00:03:23,693
Speaker 1: looks miserable in Oxford.

65
00:03:24,213 --> 00:03:26,773
Speaker 3: They got it bad there in Mississippi, just a little

66
00:03:26,773 --> 00:03:29,693
Speaker 3: farther north, Franklin, Tennessee, outside of Nashville got wrecked. I

67
00:03:29,773 --> 00:03:32,293
Speaker 3: have friends there with trees down everywhere. So even though

68
00:03:32,693 --> 00:03:34,093
Speaker 3: we didn't get the snow them again and we thought

69
00:03:34,093 --> 00:03:36,973
Speaker 3: we'd get in Kentucky, there's a lot of damage all

70
00:03:37,013 --> 00:03:39,333
Speaker 3: over the Eastern United States. Even if it wasn't what

71
00:03:39,413 --> 00:03:40,773
Speaker 3: they were projecting originally.

72
00:03:41,693 --> 00:03:43,493
Speaker 1: Well, we got to see some of that snow. First

73
00:03:43,533 --> 00:03:45,813
Speaker 1: of all these football games. I'm gonna go on record.

74
00:03:46,173 --> 00:03:49,573
Speaker 1: I hate to say this because you know, I'm I'm

75
00:03:49,653 --> 00:03:52,053
Speaker 1: obviously a big fan of the National Football League, not

76
00:03:52,093 --> 00:03:55,973
Speaker 1: as much as Billy with his NFL hat, but I

77
00:03:56,013 --> 00:03:58,693
Speaker 1: can't think of a Super Bowl where I find the

78
00:03:58,773 --> 00:04:02,653
Speaker 1: matchup less compelling Drew than this one.

79
00:04:03,413 --> 00:04:05,213
Speaker 3: I kind of agree with you, even though I think

80
00:04:05,253 --> 00:04:07,573
Speaker 3: they're both you know, they deserve to be there. Obviously,

81
00:04:07,653 --> 00:04:10,373
Speaker 3: it's not on paper, it's not the logos any of

82
00:04:10,453 --> 00:04:11,813
Speaker 3: us really will count on seeing.

83
00:04:12,053 --> 00:04:12,213
Speaker 1: Uh.

84
00:04:12,613 --> 00:04:14,773
Speaker 3: I wish i'd known we were all complaining about seeing

85
00:04:14,773 --> 00:04:17,573
Speaker 3: the Chiefs so much. To get the Chiefs out, it'd

86
00:04:17,573 --> 00:04:19,733
Speaker 3: just be the Patriots again. Maybe I wouldn't have complained

87
00:04:19,733 --> 00:04:21,893
Speaker 3: about being tired of the Chiefs. But it's like, oh,

88
00:04:22,013 --> 00:04:24,253
Speaker 3: we finally get something different out of the AFC, but

89
00:04:24,293 --> 00:04:26,133
Speaker 3: it ends up being just the team it used to be.

90
00:04:26,212 --> 00:04:27,813
Speaker 2: So you're you're.

91
00:04:27,813 --> 00:04:30,452
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, first of all, bring on the Chiefs.

92
00:04:30,532 --> 00:04:31,613
Speaker 1: The Chiefs games.

93
00:04:31,373 --> 00:04:32,772
Speaker 2: Were never born Maha.

94
00:04:32,772 --> 00:04:36,332
Speaker 1: All right, Kelsey, like what you're telling me, you wouldn't

95
00:04:36,332 --> 00:04:41,333
Speaker 1: want to see Chiefs versus Seahawks rather than Patriot Seahawks.

96
00:04:41,813 --> 00:04:43,933
Speaker 3: Well before the year, I was ready for like the

97
00:04:43,972 --> 00:04:46,332
Speaker 3: Bills or Ravens to finally get a chance. Obviously we

98
00:04:46,373 --> 00:04:48,573
Speaker 3: didn't get that, and it's like, of all the teams

99
00:04:48,613 --> 00:04:50,973
Speaker 3: to slide in and take the chief spot when they

100
00:04:51,013 --> 00:04:52,253
Speaker 3: finally get out of the way.

101
00:04:52,133 --> 00:04:55,612
Speaker 2: It has to be Boston. Yeah, what's the song? Don't

102
00:04:55,613 --> 00:05:00,092
Speaker 2: know what you got till it's gone? Was that didoh? No, No,

103
00:05:00,253 --> 00:05:01,933
Speaker 2: that's the graduation or something?

104
00:05:02,373 --> 00:05:06,133
Speaker 1: Okay, No, maybe it was paying paradise and put up

105
00:05:06,173 --> 00:05:10,133
Speaker 1: a parking lot. Anyway, put bean, I want I want

106
00:05:10,173 --> 00:05:12,613
Speaker 1: the Chiefs back. I don't, I don't care. And I

107
00:05:13,772 --> 00:05:17,373
Speaker 1: hate the Patriots because they're not even good. I mean

108
00:05:18,013 --> 00:05:21,693
Speaker 1: they have they didn't. No one should have won today.

109
00:05:21,972 --> 00:05:25,212
Speaker 1: Both teams should have been required to quit like they

110
00:05:25,212 --> 00:05:26,212
Speaker 1: should have advanced.

111
00:05:26,253 --> 00:05:27,972
Speaker 2: Both the Seahawks and Rams.

112
00:05:28,053 --> 00:05:31,173
Speaker 3: The Super bowl drew and made both of these teams

113
00:05:31,253 --> 00:05:34,133
Speaker 3: go away on this kickoff because I just didn't even

114
00:05:34,173 --> 00:05:35,733
Speaker 3: realize it was three o'clock and it was here. That

115
00:05:35,733 --> 00:05:37,573
Speaker 3: wouldn't have been the case if it had been a

116
00:05:37,573 --> 00:05:40,292
Speaker 3: better matchup, and then to be a ten to seven game.

117
00:05:40,332 --> 00:05:42,253
Speaker 2: It was was a leadown all the way around.

118
00:05:42,733 --> 00:05:45,972
Speaker 1: And Jared Stendham comes out on fire right like he

119
00:05:46,133 --> 00:05:49,493
Speaker 1: proved he had two years worth of pent up energy.

120
00:05:51,452 --> 00:05:54,772
Speaker 1: But you know, like a person who had not eaten

121
00:05:54,813 --> 00:05:57,253
Speaker 1: in a long time, he wore himself out really quick.

122
00:05:57,813 --> 00:06:01,373
Speaker 1: And then you know, the game came down, in my opinion,

123
00:06:01,493 --> 00:06:07,293
Speaker 1: to one play. You know, they decide to h they decide,

124
00:06:07,332 --> 00:06:09,573
Speaker 1: they decided to go for it on that fourth down

125
00:06:09,613 --> 00:06:13,452
Speaker 1: instead of going up ten to nothing, and that backfires

126
00:06:13,532 --> 00:06:16,253
Speaker 1: on him. And then you know, if your Stidham, you

127
00:06:16,332 --> 00:06:17,892
Speaker 1: cannot turn that ball over.

128
00:06:18,053 --> 00:06:18,772
Speaker 2: You just can't.

129
00:06:18,933 --> 00:06:21,892
Speaker 1: And they they the whole the thing was don't lose

130
00:06:21,933 --> 00:06:25,013
Speaker 1: them the game, and that that intercept. I mean, I

131
00:06:25,013 --> 00:06:27,092
Speaker 1: think the game was oddly over at halftime.

132
00:06:27,133 --> 00:06:30,853
Speaker 3: As crazy as that sounds, Yeah, no one expected stead

133
00:06:30,853 --> 00:06:32,772
Speaker 3: of them to go out there and have four touchdowns

134
00:06:32,772 --> 00:06:35,092
Speaker 3: and have MVP day. It was like, just don't go

135
00:06:35,092 --> 00:06:37,093
Speaker 3: out there and make a stupid mistake that we can

136
00:06:37,092 --> 00:06:39,092
Speaker 3: point out when the game's over as to why we lost.

137
00:06:39,532 --> 00:06:43,293
Speaker 2: And that fumble, I mean, he's backpedaling. He had plenty of.

138
00:06:43,212 --> 00:06:44,732
Speaker 3: Time to get rid of the ball. I had time

139
00:06:44,772 --> 00:06:46,853
Speaker 3: to yell what are you doing before you even lost

140
00:06:46,933 --> 00:06:49,133
Speaker 3: the ball, And that's exactly what happened.

141
00:06:49,173 --> 00:06:50,813
Speaker 1: It's the only thing you can't do right there, like

142
00:06:50,853 --> 00:06:52,892
Speaker 1: it's the only thing you can do, like the only

143
00:06:53,452 --> 00:06:56,932
Speaker 1: the only mistake that will really hurt you right there

144
00:06:57,493 --> 00:06:59,412
Speaker 1: is fumbling, and that's what he does.

145
00:06:59,573 --> 00:07:02,253
Speaker 2: And then you know they get the kick blocked.

146
00:07:03,493 --> 00:07:06,492
Speaker 1: In the in the fourth quarter, but the wind was

147
00:07:06,532 --> 00:07:09,493
Speaker 1: so bad and all of that that I'm not sure

148
00:07:09,933 --> 00:07:12,213
Speaker 1: that you know you could count on the kickers anyway.

149
00:07:12,413 --> 00:07:15,172
Speaker 3: To your point about them not being very good. They've

150
00:07:15,213 --> 00:07:17,732
Speaker 3: had more three and outs than scoring drives in the

151
00:07:17,733 --> 00:07:20,653
Speaker 3: playoffs the Patriots offense, and they're in the super.

152
00:07:20,453 --> 00:07:24,773
Speaker 1: Bowl, and you know they've had I think, without question,

153
00:07:24,893 --> 00:07:25,773
Speaker 1: the easiest path.

154
00:07:26,133 --> 00:07:26,333
Speaker 2: Now.

155
00:07:26,653 --> 00:07:29,453
Speaker 1: I've seen the contrarian view out there. It was started

156
00:07:29,453 --> 00:07:32,292
Speaker 1: by Kay Adams, who I don't know, but she seems

157
00:07:32,333 --> 00:07:35,213
Speaker 1: like a delight. But like she came out and said,

158
00:07:35,373 --> 00:07:38,373
Speaker 1: you could argue this is the hardest path and the

159
00:07:38,413 --> 00:07:42,093
Speaker 1: fifth hardest defense, the best defense and the second best defense.

160
00:07:42,853 --> 00:07:45,252
Speaker 2: Kay Adams hopefully will meet her at the Super Bowl.

161
00:07:45,333 --> 00:07:49,013
Speaker 1: I'm going to tell her that that made me like

162
00:07:49,093 --> 00:07:52,373
Speaker 1: her about one hundred to less, because.

163
00:07:52,053 --> 00:07:53,533
Speaker 2: That's ridiculous that.

164
00:07:53,773 --> 00:07:56,373
Speaker 1: I mean, these offenses you're talking about Justin Herbert who

165
00:07:56,373 --> 00:08:00,333
Speaker 1: looks scared, and c. J. Stroud and Jared Sitham were terrible.

166
00:08:00,413 --> 00:08:03,413
Speaker 1: That doesn't help. I refuse to accept that argument.

167
00:08:03,773 --> 00:08:05,893
Speaker 3: Listen, I used to watch k Adams at seven am

168
00:08:06,293 --> 00:08:08,693
Speaker 3: morning when she was still on NFL network. I wish

169
00:08:08,773 --> 00:08:11,172
Speaker 3: she was still on Good Morning Football. I agree with you,

170
00:08:11,253 --> 00:08:13,292
Speaker 3: that's a terrible take. Jared still him in the AFC

171
00:08:13,373 --> 00:08:17,093
Speaker 3: Championship is not a tough task. Sure, that defense was awesome.

172
00:08:17,213 --> 00:08:19,413
Speaker 3: I mean, the Broncos defense deserved to be in the

173
00:08:19,453 --> 00:08:22,213
Speaker 3: Super Bowl. But when you're playing against the guy at

174
00:08:22,293 --> 00:08:24,653
Speaker 3: that point in the playoffs, one step from the Super Bowl,

175
00:08:24,693 --> 00:08:26,253
Speaker 3: a guy who hadn't thrown a pass in two years,

176
00:08:26,333 --> 00:08:28,813
Speaker 3: I just can't get behind. That's a tough pass her

177
00:08:28,853 --> 00:08:30,253
Speaker 3: tough road. I don't care if it is on the

178
00:08:30,293 --> 00:08:31,053
Speaker 3: road in Dever.

179
00:08:31,533 --> 00:08:33,453
Speaker 4: To your point about the Chiefs, nine of the last

180
00:08:33,453 --> 00:08:36,533
Speaker 4: ten Super Bowls have been either with the Patriots or

181
00:08:36,573 --> 00:08:38,373
Speaker 4: the Chiefs, nine of the last I.

182
00:08:38,373 --> 00:08:41,213
Speaker 1: Think if I'm correct, You tell me if this is wrong, Billy.

183
00:08:41,253 --> 00:08:46,933
Speaker 1: I believe that today was the first AFC Championship game

184
00:08:47,453 --> 00:08:51,173
Speaker 1: since like nineteen ninety nine that did not have Mahomes,

185
00:08:51,213 --> 00:08:53,373
Speaker 1: Brady or Maning. Oh.

186
00:08:53,373 --> 00:08:56,293
Speaker 4: I'd have to check that that's correct.

187
00:08:56,653 --> 00:08:59,293
Speaker 3: I saw so, I heard that or consume that somewhere

188
00:08:59,293 --> 00:09:01,573
Speaker 3: along the way this week, which is sounds familiar.

189
00:09:01,693 --> 00:09:04,333
Speaker 1: Which is an amazing statistic if you think about it.

190
00:09:04,373 --> 00:09:08,733
Speaker 1: I mean, that's twenty six, twenty seven years worth of

191
00:09:08,973 --> 00:09:11,453
Speaker 1: AFC Championships and you knew you'd have one of them,

192
00:09:11,573 --> 00:09:14,973
Speaker 1: and today you came home, took your shirt off, put

193
00:09:15,013 --> 00:09:17,293
Speaker 1: your feet up, and got a little hot stead of

194
00:09:17,453 --> 00:09:20,693
Speaker 1: may action. I don't know, I don't feel like that's

195
00:09:20,773 --> 00:09:21,813
Speaker 1: quite the same thing.

196
00:09:22,813 --> 00:09:25,893
Speaker 2: The broadcast even matched the QB dul.

197
00:09:25,933 --> 00:09:27,493
Speaker 3: I don't know if you all noticed this, but in

198
00:09:27,533 --> 00:09:30,973
Speaker 3: the second half when it got snowy, they tried to

199
00:09:31,013 --> 00:09:34,213
Speaker 3: add digital yard markers because you couldn't see him well.

200
00:09:34,293 --> 00:09:38,813
Speaker 3: Players would disappear under the yard markers, so like there

201
00:09:38,853 --> 00:09:41,693
Speaker 3: was a punt and the poe returner just disappeared behind

202
00:09:41,693 --> 00:09:43,813
Speaker 3: the ten yard life didn't know where it was, so

203
00:09:43,893 --> 00:09:46,133
Speaker 3: I mean they were even batching trying to make the production.

204
00:09:46,213 --> 00:09:48,373
Speaker 1: I was like, that was technology that had not been

205
00:09:48,453 --> 00:09:50,253
Speaker 1: tested enough in beta mode.

206
00:09:50,813 --> 00:09:53,813
Speaker 2: And I also do think like with.

207
00:09:53,853 --> 00:09:56,293
Speaker 1: Sean Payton going back to not kicking that field goal,

208
00:09:57,493 --> 00:10:01,053
Speaker 1: you know, they knew the blizzard was coming in the

209
00:10:01,093 --> 00:10:03,653
Speaker 1: second half. So I feel like it's like a NASCAR

210
00:10:03,853 --> 00:10:06,933
Speaker 1: race back in the day when they would like, you know,

211
00:10:07,173 --> 00:10:10,173
Speaker 1: change the tires because at the halfway point, if it rains,

212
00:10:10,253 --> 00:10:12,213
Speaker 1: the change is over, and so they would like, go,

213
00:10:12,413 --> 00:10:15,493
Speaker 1: let's go real fast right now, don't get any gas, etc.

214
00:10:16,013 --> 00:10:17,333
Speaker 2: Et cetera, in case it's gonna rain.

215
00:10:17,413 --> 00:10:20,493
Speaker 1: I feel like Sean Payton he should have come for

216
00:10:20,613 --> 00:10:24,813
Speaker 1: around a wedge and gotten four tires there and kick

217
00:10:24,893 --> 00:10:25,613
Speaker 1: that field goal.

218
00:10:25,973 --> 00:10:27,973
Speaker 3: Definitely, I mean, obviously now and it's ten to seven,

219
00:10:28,013 --> 00:10:29,973
Speaker 3: it's haunting, but in the moment, you've got to know

220
00:10:30,693 --> 00:10:33,853
Speaker 3: weather's coming. And Jared Still was my quarterback and he

221
00:10:34,333 --> 00:10:36,933
Speaker 3: completed a fifty two yard pass and scored a touchdown.

222
00:10:37,373 --> 00:10:38,893
Speaker 2: I don't know how much I'm gonna have with that.

223
00:10:39,053 --> 00:10:40,653
Speaker 3: I'm not saying it was luck, but I don't know

224
00:10:40,693 --> 00:10:42,413
Speaker 3: if Sean Payton was thinking that there was gonna be

225
00:10:42,413 --> 00:10:44,973
Speaker 3: a lot more of those Stoodham throws ahead, but there

226
00:10:45,013 --> 00:10:46,973
Speaker 3: were not, and he should have taken those free points

227
00:10:46,973 --> 00:10:48,533
Speaker 3: and what we could tell was gonna be a low

228
00:10:48,573 --> 00:10:49,533
Speaker 3: scoring game right away.

229
00:10:49,853 --> 00:10:52,293
Speaker 4: Do you think this is a game for why everybody

230
00:10:52,373 --> 00:10:54,533
Speaker 4: has a dome ten to fifteen years from now, Like

231
00:10:54,693 --> 00:10:55,773
Speaker 4: I think I'll look back.

232
00:10:55,773 --> 00:10:58,093
Speaker 1: The first of all that's gonna be that's gonna be

233
00:10:58,093 --> 00:11:04,133
Speaker 1: a take. Those people should be prosecuted. If you had

234
00:11:04,133 --> 00:11:08,413
Speaker 1: that game today and it was Stidham May and it

235
00:11:08,533 --> 00:11:10,693
Speaker 1: was Mahomes Allen, are you going to tell me the

236
00:11:10,693 --> 00:11:13,493
Speaker 1: score is gonna be ten to seven. It's not because

237
00:11:13,533 --> 00:11:15,493
Speaker 1: of the weather. The score was ten to seven. It

238
00:11:15,573 --> 00:11:19,253
Speaker 1: was because Drake May. He's gonna make the super Bowl

239
00:11:19,253 --> 00:11:21,653
Speaker 1: and everybody's going to be excited about him, and that's fine.

240
00:11:21,693 --> 00:11:26,253
Speaker 1: He's played objectively poorly in these playoffs. He has now listen,

241
00:11:26,333 --> 00:11:29,613
Speaker 1: they're winning because he's played better than the quarterbacks he's

242
00:11:29,653 --> 00:11:32,573
Speaker 1: gone against, and the New England defenses are great. But

243
00:11:32,653 --> 00:11:37,293
Speaker 1: he has been objectively bad. And Insteadham played seven games

244
00:11:37,333 --> 00:11:41,253
Speaker 1: in eight years, So I don't think you can blind.

245
00:11:41,373 --> 00:11:44,013
Speaker 1: The snow obviously affects it. But if you had great

246
00:11:44,133 --> 00:11:46,612
Speaker 1: quarterbacks out there at the peak of their game.

247
00:11:47,173 --> 00:11:50,253
Speaker 3: Drew, I think they would have put points up. Yeah,

248
00:11:50,253 --> 00:11:52,413
Speaker 3: even before the snow came, he wasn't looking that good.

249
00:11:52,613 --> 00:11:54,853
Speaker 3: If I'm not mistaken. He completed less than fifty percent

250
00:11:54,853 --> 00:11:57,173
Speaker 3: of his passes, didn't have a touchdown. I had three

251
00:11:57,213 --> 00:12:00,293
Speaker 3: big runs and he had the touchdown. The run were great,

252
00:12:00,413 --> 00:12:02,573
Speaker 3: I mean, including the bootleg at the.

253
00:12:02,613 --> 00:12:04,813
Speaker 2: End I'm watching right now on a replay here. That

254
00:12:04,893 --> 00:12:05,333
Speaker 2: was a good one.

255
00:12:05,373 --> 00:12:07,573
Speaker 3: And then yeah, so I didn't even tell his offensive

256
00:12:07,613 --> 00:12:09,493
Speaker 3: line on the goal line run. He was gonna take it.

257
00:12:09,533 --> 00:12:11,933
Speaker 3: So he made some big plays. But as a passer,

258
00:12:11,933 --> 00:12:13,813
Speaker 3: he didn't do much today. That was part of defense.

259
00:12:13,853 --> 00:12:16,413
Speaker 3: And you know he hasn't He hasn't looked great all playoffs,

260
00:12:16,453 --> 00:12:17,613
Speaker 3: even looked at they continue to win.

261
00:12:31,773 --> 00:12:34,453
Speaker 1: Back to your question about domes, I mean, this is what's

262
00:12:34,493 --> 00:12:38,573
Speaker 1: gonna happen in forty years when someone is doing their

263
00:12:38,653 --> 00:12:43,173
Speaker 1: own version. It's cover zero forty, you know, hosted by

264
00:12:43,333 --> 00:12:45,533
Speaker 1: probably the kid that lives next door that wouldn't stop

265
00:12:45,573 --> 00:12:51,613
Speaker 1: screaming today. The what's gonna happen with all these domes

266
00:12:51,613 --> 00:12:54,573
Speaker 1: that get built is exactly what's going to what happened

267
00:12:54,613 --> 00:12:58,133
Speaker 1: in baseball in the seventies, when they built all those

268
00:12:58,213 --> 00:13:02,133
Speaker 1: cookie cutter stadiums like Shay Stadium and Riverfront and there

269
00:13:02,173 --> 00:13:04,533
Speaker 1: were like fifteen of them across the country.

270
00:13:04,653 --> 00:13:05,773
Speaker 2: They're like, oh, we.

271
00:13:05,693 --> 00:13:07,973
Speaker 1: Want all these stadiums to be moderned and look the same,

272
00:13:08,093 --> 00:13:11,733
Speaker 1: and then they stunk and everybody and now pretty much

273
00:13:11,733 --> 00:13:14,253
Speaker 1: all of them have been moved out of same thing

274
00:13:14,253 --> 00:13:18,733
Speaker 1: when Nascar. When NASCAR got popular, they decided, oh, let's

275
00:13:18,733 --> 00:13:19,813
Speaker 1: make it uniform.

276
00:13:19,973 --> 00:13:21,253
Speaker 2: Let's stop having.

277
00:13:21,053 --> 00:13:23,893
Speaker 1: Short tracks and super let's make everything a mile and

278
00:13:23,933 --> 00:13:26,013
Speaker 1: a half. And then they realized that a mile and

279
00:13:26,053 --> 00:13:28,893
Speaker 1: a half tracks are the most boring tracks you can have,

280
00:13:29,293 --> 00:13:31,973
Speaker 1: and they've basically now left all of them, including the

281
00:13:32,013 --> 00:13:35,813
Speaker 1: Kentucky Speedway sits empty because it was one of those

282
00:13:35,853 --> 00:13:38,373
Speaker 1: mile and a half tracks. That's what's gonna happen with

283
00:13:38,413 --> 00:13:42,333
Speaker 1: these domes. The character of sports is the uniqueness of

284
00:13:42,373 --> 00:13:45,173
Speaker 1: the stadium. And it's nice when there's a handful of domes,

285
00:13:45,413 --> 00:13:48,933
Speaker 1: but when there are twenty domes or twenty five domes,

286
00:13:49,133 --> 00:13:52,693
Speaker 1: everyone is going to wish these games were outside. And

287
00:13:52,733 --> 00:13:55,733
Speaker 1: that's going to happen as Kansas City builds its dome

288
00:13:56,173 --> 00:13:59,413
Speaker 1: and all of these places get their domes. Everyone is

289
00:13:59,453 --> 00:14:02,133
Speaker 1: going to wish that they were back outside.

290
00:14:02,773 --> 00:14:04,693
Speaker 3: Take They all have the same blueprint right now too.

291
00:14:05,413 --> 00:14:07,613
Speaker 3: I mean the Titans that's going up right now, it

292
00:14:07,653 --> 00:14:09,813
Speaker 3: looks just like some of the ones that were recently built,

293
00:14:09,853 --> 00:14:11,893
Speaker 3: Like they just hired the same crew. It had them

294
00:14:11,893 --> 00:14:14,093
Speaker 3: come over and build the same building. I saw people

295
00:14:14,133 --> 00:14:16,573
Speaker 3: on Twitter today saying, see, this is why we needed domes.

296
00:14:16,653 --> 00:14:18,733
Speaker 3: But no, I mean, I didn't love the ten to

297
00:14:18,733 --> 00:14:22,493
Speaker 3: seven game, but I'm not. I'm all in on keeping

298
00:14:22,533 --> 00:14:24,093
Speaker 3: the open stage that game.

299
00:14:24,133 --> 00:14:26,853
Speaker 1: Without the snow, it would have been the most boring,

300
00:14:26,933 --> 00:14:29,053
Speaker 1: Like it would have been even more imagined that game

301
00:14:29,133 --> 00:14:31,453
Speaker 1: inside right, Like that's.

302
00:14:31,293 --> 00:14:33,253
Speaker 2: Even more boring. At least the snow.

303
00:14:33,013 --> 00:14:35,773
Speaker 3: Gave you something to look at, and there wasn't eve

304
00:14:35,773 --> 00:14:37,613
Speaker 3: really snow. In the first half, it came on hard.

305
00:14:37,653 --> 00:14:39,973
Speaker 3: It went from if you took a long bathroom break,

306
00:14:40,013 --> 00:14:42,133
Speaker 3: you went from clear skies in Denver to what the

307
00:14:42,133 --> 00:14:42,893
Speaker 3: heck just happened?

308
00:14:43,773 --> 00:14:46,133
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I hate it.

309
00:14:46,693 --> 00:14:50,973
Speaker 1: I don't have to drive tomorrow because I'm snowed in,

310
00:14:51,053 --> 00:14:54,773
Speaker 1: but normally i'm my drive to the radio show. I

311
00:14:54,853 --> 00:14:57,973
Speaker 1: listened to Bill Simmons talk about the games. If I

312
00:14:58,013 --> 00:15:01,613
Speaker 1: had to do that tomorrow. I don't know, I probably

313
00:15:01,653 --> 00:15:03,973
Speaker 1: would come in and just start screaming at you, Drew

314
00:15:04,053 --> 00:15:07,773
Speaker 1: and Ryan and Billy, like I look, I'll probably just

315
00:15:07,773 --> 00:15:10,733
Speaker 1: skip this episode because I don't want to hear him happy,

316
00:15:10,853 --> 00:15:12,853
Speaker 1: don't you That's that's mean of me.

317
00:15:13,053 --> 00:15:15,613
Speaker 3: But I know you don't like the Patriots and you're

318
00:15:15,613 --> 00:15:18,613
Speaker 3: not that impressed by Drake May. But do you find

319
00:15:18,653 --> 00:15:21,053
Speaker 3: it all sweet that he went as a fan in

320
00:15:21,133 --> 00:15:24,093
Speaker 3: that same stadium in Santa Clara to watch the Panthers

321
00:15:24,493 --> 00:15:26,133
Speaker 3: and now he's going back as a player.

322
00:15:26,253 --> 00:15:27,933
Speaker 2: Isn't that football romantic?

323
00:15:28,493 --> 00:15:28,773
Speaker 1: No?

324
00:15:29,373 --> 00:15:34,293
Speaker 2: Okay, so I tried that means he was rich. You

325
00:15:34,293 --> 00:15:36,213
Speaker 2: don't go to the Super Bowl as.

326
00:15:36,093 --> 00:15:38,693
Speaker 1: A game unless you got some money, So like I'm

327
00:15:38,693 --> 00:15:40,453
Speaker 1: supposed to somehow think it's romantic.

328
00:15:40,733 --> 00:15:42,093
Speaker 2: Then he went and watched the Panthers.

329
00:15:42,133 --> 00:15:45,933
Speaker 1: Now if he had watched the Patriots in that stadium, okay,

330
00:15:46,173 --> 00:15:49,453
Speaker 1: he watched a different team in the stadium.

331
00:15:49,733 --> 00:15:50,293
Speaker 2: I will say.

332
00:15:50,293 --> 00:15:52,013
Speaker 3: When they were telling that story during the game, they

333
00:15:52,053 --> 00:15:54,333
Speaker 3: presented it like, well, he's only been to one as

334
00:15:54,333 --> 00:15:54,733
Speaker 3: a fan.

335
00:15:55,013 --> 00:15:57,453
Speaker 2: I'm like, only one is a fan? How many? How

336
00:15:57,533 --> 00:16:00,373
Speaker 2: many fans get to go? Like one percent of fans

337
00:16:00,773 --> 00:16:02,053
Speaker 2: maybe get to go to a.

338
00:16:02,053 --> 00:16:05,173
Speaker 1: Super Bowl if that yeah, I mean that's like and

339
00:16:05,213 --> 00:16:08,053
Speaker 1: I'm sure this is that's like somebody walking up the

340
00:16:08,093 --> 00:16:11,933
Speaker 1: eighteenth and going he only went to six Masters and

341
00:16:12,053 --> 00:16:13,853
Speaker 1: one day he hoped he would.

342
00:16:13,653 --> 00:16:14,253
Speaker 2: Be on the other.

343
00:16:14,373 --> 00:16:18,613
Speaker 1: Like oh okay, well what a beautiful story. So no,

344
00:16:18,813 --> 00:16:19,493
Speaker 1: I don't care.

345
00:16:20,973 --> 00:16:23,613
Speaker 2: You cover my master's knowing back here. Wise you say that,

346
00:16:23,693 --> 00:16:24,413
Speaker 2: let me cover that up.

347
00:16:24,453 --> 00:16:26,173
Speaker 1: I mean, look, the Masters are great, but you know,

348
00:16:26,293 --> 00:16:28,253
Speaker 1: I mean it's not I'm much more interested in the

349
00:16:28,333 --> 00:16:31,533
Speaker 1: kid who grew up on his public municipal corners and

350
00:16:31,533 --> 00:16:32,893
Speaker 1: then played in the Masters.

351
00:16:32,893 --> 00:16:36,333
Speaker 2: That would be much more interesting to me. I'll be very.

352
00:16:36,453 --> 00:16:39,413
Speaker 1: I'm excited to go. I'm excited for the pomp and

353
00:16:39,453 --> 00:16:41,533
Speaker 1: the circumstance. Here's what I want to see the Super Bowl.

354
00:16:41,653 --> 00:16:44,613
Speaker 1: I want to see bad Buddy. I want to see

355
00:16:45,893 --> 00:16:48,733
Speaker 1: Green Day because I didn't know they still.

356
00:16:48,373 --> 00:16:55,333
Speaker 3: Am sixtieth anniversary celebration, the one anniversary they're playing the

357
00:16:55,413 --> 00:16:57,853
Speaker 3: sixtieth anniversary celebration before the game.

358
00:16:58,213 --> 00:17:01,413
Speaker 2: It's a big deal. It's an odd choice to pick them, right,

359
00:17:01,493 --> 00:17:02,693
Speaker 2: I mean, what are they going? What are they going

360
00:17:02,773 --> 00:17:03,093
Speaker 2: to sing?

361
00:17:03,213 --> 00:17:03,293
Speaker 4: Like?

362
00:17:03,373 --> 00:17:04,893
Speaker 2: I want to be an American idiot.

363
00:17:06,373 --> 00:17:09,373
Speaker 3: I saw it's Green Day and legends from every generation

364
00:17:09,453 --> 00:17:12,092
Speaker 3: of Super Bowls. So yeah, that's a good get for them.

365
00:17:12,573 --> 00:17:14,653
Speaker 2: Wait a minute, Oh, so the players are coming out.

366
00:17:15,053 --> 00:17:17,013
Speaker 2: It's some big celebration of Super Bowls.

367
00:17:17,013 --> 00:17:18,773
Speaker 3: I don't know how Green Day got the pick for

368
00:17:18,853 --> 00:17:20,693
Speaker 3: that of all the options, but I'm there for I'm

369
00:17:20,733 --> 00:17:21,532
Speaker 3: ready for some dukie.

370
00:17:21,773 --> 00:17:24,133
Speaker 2: I want to be the minority.

371
00:17:24,293 --> 00:17:28,853
Speaker 1: And they're like, here is Jeff Hosteler he waves.

372
00:17:28,493 --> 00:17:29,052
Speaker 2: It the crowd.

373
00:17:30,533 --> 00:17:33,693
Speaker 3: I hope we get Jeff Hosteller singing dukie on stage

374
00:17:33,733 --> 00:17:34,813
Speaker 3: with with Green Day.

375
00:17:34,853 --> 00:17:37,453
Speaker 1: Well, they're gonna sing the song from Sidefield, right. I

376
00:17:37,493 --> 00:17:39,493
Speaker 1: hope you had the time of your life, which is

377
00:17:39,533 --> 00:17:43,453
Speaker 1: awesome something. It's weird that that's what they're known for,

378
00:17:43,533 --> 00:17:45,853
Speaker 1: because like they're a punk band and they're known for

379
00:17:46,013 --> 00:17:48,173
Speaker 1: like this like graduation.

380
00:17:47,853 --> 00:17:51,933
Speaker 2: Song, which I always find sort of odd. Right, yeah

381
00:17:51,973 --> 00:17:54,533
Speaker 2: are they what is the connection? Are they from? They're

382
00:17:54,573 --> 00:17:58,173
Speaker 2: not from San Francisco. They're like, well they how do

383
00:17:58,213 --> 00:17:58,853
Speaker 2: they get here?

384
00:17:59,213 --> 00:18:04,893
Speaker 1: I think the connection is, let's have someone that they

385
00:18:04,893 --> 00:18:09,773
Speaker 1: are in theory edgy but like, actually it's middle aged

386
00:18:09,893 --> 00:18:11,213
Speaker 1: dads that listen to him.

387
00:18:11,213 --> 00:18:14,693
Speaker 2: Now I was wrong. They are from San Francisco.

388
00:18:14,733 --> 00:18:16,693
Speaker 3: I guess that helped him get Okay, well, this is

389
00:18:16,733 --> 00:18:19,093
Speaker 3: all right, this is how they This is for anyone

390
00:18:19,093 --> 00:18:22,733
Speaker 3: that doesn't like Bad Bunny. Here have green day. Yeah right,

391
00:18:23,093 --> 00:18:26,013
Speaker 3: By the way, I'm excited about Bad Bunny.

392
00:18:26,133 --> 00:18:28,213
Speaker 5: I've been listening to Bad Bunny in preparation.

393
00:18:28,613 --> 00:18:32,653
Speaker 4: Okay, it's not bad like for not understanding any of

394
00:18:32,653 --> 00:18:33,133
Speaker 4: the words.

395
00:18:33,413 --> 00:18:35,253
Speaker 1: See, that's what I think. You have to judge it

396
00:18:35,293 --> 00:18:36,773
Speaker 1: on me. I don't speak Spanish.

397
00:18:36,773 --> 00:18:38,853
Speaker 2: Scale. Does it still keep your attention in that one?

398
00:18:38,973 --> 00:18:44,773
Speaker 1: Does? Hollaana like that one? That one keeps my attention,

399
00:18:45,093 --> 00:18:47,093
Speaker 1: and so I like it. I hope he plays that one.

400
00:18:47,213 --> 00:18:50,173
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's one that's very sad and makes you.

401
00:18:50,093 --> 00:18:53,653
Speaker 2: Go sad in Spanish. How Yeah, it's sad.

402
00:18:54,653 --> 00:18:56,853
Speaker 5: I can I can just tell through the emotion of

403
00:18:56,893 --> 00:18:57,373
Speaker 5: his singing.

404
00:18:58,013 --> 00:18:58,812
Speaker 2: So maybe.

405
00:19:01,973 --> 00:19:03,572
Speaker 5: Here in the Super Bowl at one point I.

406
00:19:03,733 --> 00:19:07,173
Speaker 2: Probably appreciate that compliment. Something nice thing to say about him.

407
00:19:07,693 --> 00:19:12,532
Speaker 1: He can fill his emotions like Beethoven and Bad Bunny

408
00:19:12,653 --> 00:19:16,813
Speaker 1: expressed their their sadness just through melodic tones.

409
00:19:16,813 --> 00:19:19,053
Speaker 2: All right. So then in the afternoon, all.

410
00:19:19,053 --> 00:19:22,253
Speaker 1: Right, early evening, you get Seahawks rams much more exciting game.

411
00:19:23,453 --> 00:19:30,173
Speaker 1: Second half offense you know, takes over. I thought Stafford

412
00:19:30,173 --> 00:19:33,533
Speaker 1: played well Sam Donald. Guy gives Sam Donald a ton

413
00:19:33,573 --> 00:19:38,213
Speaker 1: of credit. I mean that he's played well, he's had doubters. Well,

414
00:19:38,213 --> 00:19:39,893
Speaker 1: first of all, he's had doubters his whole career because

415
00:19:39,893 --> 00:19:42,413
Speaker 1: he earned them. And then he played really well in

416
00:19:42,453 --> 00:19:44,933
Speaker 1: Minnesota and then collapsed at the end of the year.

417
00:19:45,213 --> 00:19:49,373
Speaker 1: Everybody said, see that's what Sam Donald actually is, comes back,

418
00:19:49,773 --> 00:19:54,373
Speaker 1: does it and actually, you know, meets the goals this

419
00:19:54,493 --> 00:19:57,573
Speaker 1: year as a one seed. I actually do think he's

420
00:19:57,613 --> 00:19:58,493
Speaker 1: a great story.

421
00:19:59,253 --> 00:20:02,173
Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely three touchdowns today. I mean it helps having

422
00:20:02,533 --> 00:20:04,693
Speaker 3: Jackson Smith and Jig b on your team. That guy

423
00:20:04,773 --> 00:20:07,973
Speaker 3: just gets open and makes play. But Darnald deserves everything

424
00:20:07,973 --> 00:20:10,013
Speaker 3: that's happening for him right now. I mean the fact

425
00:20:10,053 --> 00:20:11,773
Speaker 3: that he had a great season with the Vikings and

426
00:20:11,813 --> 00:20:15,533
Speaker 3: they still threw him away for Billy's Boy nine JJ McCarthy.

427
00:20:15,853 --> 00:20:18,453
Speaker 3: I know they were invested in McCarty with a draft pick,

428
00:20:18,533 --> 00:20:20,693
Speaker 3: but when you just saw Darnald have a good season

429
00:20:21,093 --> 00:20:24,173
Speaker 3: and to let him walk, eat it Minnesota and good

430
00:20:24,173 --> 00:20:27,973
Speaker 3: for you, Sam Darnald. I don't love the matchup, as

431
00:20:28,013 --> 00:20:29,893
Speaker 3: we said, but he deserves to be there and head

432
00:20:29,933 --> 00:20:31,533
Speaker 3: a hell of a season when everybody.

433
00:20:31,213 --> 00:20:32,053
Speaker 2: Had to give it up on him.

434
00:20:32,333 --> 00:20:35,053
Speaker 1: It is true, and Jig was great, but there's very

435
00:20:35,053 --> 00:20:38,613
Speaker 1: few quarterbacks who are amazing who don't at least have

436
00:20:38,893 --> 00:20:42,092
Speaker 1: one person like that, like you know, you think. I

437
00:20:42,133 --> 00:20:45,292
Speaker 1: heard Chris mad Dog Russo and he was ranking the

438
00:20:45,333 --> 00:20:47,973
Speaker 1: ten best quarterbacks of all time, and normally on TV

439
00:20:48,093 --> 00:20:50,933
Speaker 1: I find him impossible to watch, but he was actually

440
00:20:50,973 --> 00:20:53,573
Speaker 1: interesting in this because he had a lot of historical

441
00:20:53,613 --> 00:20:57,653
Speaker 1: perspective and he was talking about how he is close

442
00:20:57,693 --> 00:21:00,013
Speaker 1: to ranking Josh Allen because he's like, he's the only

443
00:21:00,053 --> 00:21:03,413
Speaker 1: one that's even on this list that you can say

444
00:21:03,453 --> 00:21:07,773
Speaker 1: had no one great as a receiver, and I think.

445
00:21:07,573 --> 00:21:09,532
Speaker 2: That's probably true. So I think Donald.

446
00:21:09,613 --> 00:21:11,572
Speaker 1: I'm not saying Donald's no work close that list, but

447
00:21:11,613 --> 00:21:13,733
Speaker 1: it's you know, having a Jig, but he needs somebody

448
00:21:13,773 --> 00:21:16,093
Speaker 1: like that, and he is amazing. The routes he ran

449
00:21:16,133 --> 00:21:19,453
Speaker 1: in the second half were perfection and they were just

450
00:21:19,493 --> 00:21:19,933
Speaker 1: so fun.

451
00:21:19,933 --> 00:21:21,532
Speaker 3: I mean, they threw a few times late in the

452
00:21:21,573 --> 00:21:22,933
Speaker 3: game when it's like, oh, I don't know if I

453
00:21:22,933 --> 00:21:24,733
Speaker 3: would have thrown there, when they're running out the clock

454
00:21:24,773 --> 00:21:27,653
Speaker 3: and trying to keep the ball. A lot of running situations,

455
00:21:27,653 --> 00:21:32,653
Speaker 3: some risky play calling there. The McVeigh McDonald matchup, I mean,

456
00:21:33,053 --> 00:21:36,493
Speaker 3: we've had three great games this season, and they're both

457
00:21:36,533 --> 00:21:38,493
Speaker 3: so young. It looked like they got a little fire

458
00:21:38,533 --> 00:21:42,453
Speaker 3: on each side. This game did not disappoint I thought

459
00:21:42,493 --> 00:21:44,173
Speaker 3: the Rams were still going to pull it off.

460
00:21:44,213 --> 00:21:47,733
Speaker 2: That Kobe Parkinson drop was horrible. That was much.

461
00:21:48,373 --> 00:21:51,853
Speaker 1: I mean, he walks into the end zone if he

462
00:21:51,933 --> 00:21:55,693
Speaker 1: catches that, I guess when the defender maybe blocked his

463
00:21:55,853 --> 00:21:57,773
Speaker 1: vision a little bit when he came over.

464
00:21:57,853 --> 00:22:01,613
Speaker 2: But it's a terrible it's a terrible, terrible drop.

465
00:22:01,653 --> 00:22:04,332
Speaker 1: And it was especially terrible because Stafford had run for

466
00:22:04,413 --> 00:22:07,133
Speaker 1: a first down before that, which he I bet he

467
00:22:07,173 --> 00:22:08,533
Speaker 1: hasn't done since Georgia.

468
00:22:09,333 --> 00:22:10,653
Speaker 2: That was the slowest run.

469
00:22:10,733 --> 00:22:13,253
Speaker 3: Luckily he only needed a yard. He even could have

470
00:22:13,253 --> 00:22:16,013
Speaker 3: pitched it to Kyra Williams. I'm surprised he uses legs

471
00:22:16,213 --> 00:22:19,613
Speaker 3: and he broke a tackle in slow motional. He even

472
00:22:19,693 --> 00:22:21,533
Speaker 3: used his legs a few plays later when he got

473
00:22:21,533 --> 00:22:23,893
Speaker 3: a little pitch out there too, So it looked like

474
00:22:23,933 --> 00:22:26,253
Speaker 3: we were about to have the MVP drive, game winning

475
00:22:26,333 --> 00:22:27,693
Speaker 3: drive and it just came up short.

476
00:22:27,733 --> 00:22:29,293
Speaker 2: But a great game nonetheless, and.

477
00:22:29,293 --> 00:22:33,093
Speaker 4: There was maybe the worst taunting call in NFL history.

478
00:22:33,133 --> 00:22:34,933
Speaker 4: I mean, the Rams come, I didn't bother me.

479
00:22:35,013 --> 00:22:39,293
Speaker 2: It bothered me. It bothered me live because I thought

480
00:22:39,293 --> 00:22:40,253
Speaker 2: that was a bad call.

481
00:22:40,293 --> 00:22:44,133
Speaker 1: And then I saw on the internet a camera on

482
00:22:44,293 --> 00:22:48,173
Speaker 1: him and you can see he won't stop. He won't stop.

483
00:22:48,333 --> 00:22:51,493
Speaker 1: The referee tells him to stop, he stops, and then

484
00:22:51,533 --> 00:22:55,373
Speaker 1: he starts again. And so I think they call that.

485
00:22:56,053 --> 00:22:57,693
Speaker 1: I mean, the question is do you call it on

486
00:22:57,733 --> 00:23:00,013
Speaker 1: a fourth down like that? And I can understand the

487
00:23:00,133 --> 00:23:03,653
Speaker 1: argument that you shouldn't, but I actually do think Billy

488
00:23:03,733 --> 00:23:05,853
Speaker 1: he did earn it, although in real time I was

489
00:23:05,933 --> 00:23:07,373
Speaker 1: like you, I thought it was terrible.

490
00:23:07,493 --> 00:23:09,093
Speaker 5: No, I agree with you. I think they should have

491
00:23:09,133 --> 00:23:09,453
Speaker 5: called it.

492
00:23:09,493 --> 00:23:11,053
Speaker 4: But if the Rams would have came back and won

493
00:23:11,093 --> 00:23:13,333
Speaker 4: that game, for them to get a first down on

494
00:23:13,373 --> 00:23:15,933
Speaker 4: that fourth down, I think he would have looked back

495
00:23:15,973 --> 00:23:17,733
Speaker 4: at that penalty as maybe one of the worst of

496
00:23:17,773 --> 00:23:19,373
Speaker 4: all time when it comes to like, oh.

497
00:23:19,453 --> 00:23:21,453
Speaker 2: You mean worst in terms of it was bad of

498
00:23:21,533 --> 00:23:24,573
Speaker 2: him to do it? Yeah? Yeah, No, I think that's fair, Drew.

499
00:23:24,653 --> 00:23:27,173
Speaker 2: What did you think of that call? I think he

500
00:23:27,253 --> 00:23:27,693
Speaker 2: earned it.

501
00:23:28,213 --> 00:23:30,933
Speaker 3: And then the very next play he gives up a

502
00:23:30,973 --> 00:23:34,693
Speaker 3: forty seven yard touchdown. What he better be glad they

503
00:23:34,733 --> 00:23:37,973
Speaker 3: won because what a two play sequence. I mean, they

504
00:23:38,013 --> 00:23:40,532
Speaker 3: showed he was getting a fight with his own teammates afterwards.

505
00:23:40,613 --> 00:23:42,693
Speaker 3: I also would have fought him, like dude, it was

506
00:23:43,013 --> 00:23:45,933
Speaker 3: fourth and twelve and then a forty seven forty eight

507
00:23:46,053 --> 00:23:49,653
Speaker 3: yard touchdown two plays apart, but luckily held on. But

508
00:23:49,693 --> 00:23:51,813
Speaker 3: that could have been an awful sequence for him if

509
00:23:51,853 --> 00:23:53,173
Speaker 3: they had to pull the game on plee.

510
00:23:53,413 --> 00:23:55,173
Speaker 1: If that had happened, I don't know that he could

511
00:23:55,173 --> 00:23:56,693
Speaker 1: have played in Seattle anymore.

512
00:23:58,133 --> 00:24:00,933
Speaker 2: No, I havently that's one when you know, but you

513
00:24:01,013 --> 00:24:02,213
Speaker 2: maybe don't come back for him.

514
00:24:02,853 --> 00:24:05,453
Speaker 3: The fans wouldn't let him back, which brings me to

515
00:24:05,453 --> 00:24:07,733
Speaker 3: my complain about I don't like how they keep calling

516
00:24:07,773 --> 00:24:08,253
Speaker 3: them twelve.

517
00:24:08,333 --> 00:24:08,572
Speaker 2: Did you.

518
00:24:08,573 --> 00:24:10,532
Speaker 3: I don't know if y'all watched the post game, but

519
00:24:10,573 --> 00:24:12,733
Speaker 3: everything's just twelve twelve. I know they call them the

520
00:24:12,733 --> 00:24:15,853
Speaker 3: twelfth man, but I heard twelve too many times today.

521
00:24:15,853 --> 00:24:16,613
Speaker 3: It was wearing me out.

522
00:24:16,853 --> 00:24:20,013
Speaker 2: Listen to how loud the twelves are good for the twelves,

523
00:24:20,293 --> 00:24:22,693
Speaker 2: the twelves are going back to the Promised Lands. It's

524
00:24:22,733 --> 00:24:24,453
Speaker 2: a little much for me. With their branding of the

525
00:24:24,453 --> 00:24:25,292
Speaker 2: Seattle fans.

526
00:24:26,253 --> 00:24:30,453
Speaker 1: Well, I think that was true fifteen years ago, but

527
00:24:30,533 --> 00:24:32,893
Speaker 1: I feel like I watch a lot of Seattle games now,

528
00:24:32,933 --> 00:24:35,693
Speaker 1: and I don't feel like the environment seems that different

529
00:24:35,733 --> 00:24:38,613
Speaker 1: than anywhere else. I remember, I did think back in

530
00:24:38,693 --> 00:24:43,933
Speaker 1: the Marshawn Lynch Russell Wilson run that they did seemingly

531
00:24:44,093 --> 00:24:48,253
Speaker 1: have a much louder crowd, But I have not felt

532
00:24:48,253 --> 00:24:49,773
Speaker 1: that in recent years.

533
00:24:50,373 --> 00:24:52,853
Speaker 2: So I don't know, you know, I don't know. I

534
00:24:52,853 --> 00:24:54,853
Speaker 2: don't know if I buy it. Dur to be outfest

535
00:24:55,373 --> 00:24:57,573
Speaker 2: and they're a good fan base. Not even knock on them.

536
00:24:57,693 --> 00:24:59,893
Speaker 3: It's like it's almost like they were paid by how

537
00:24:59,893 --> 00:25:02,293
Speaker 3: many times they said the twelves are getting loud today.

538
00:25:02,293 --> 00:25:04,453
Speaker 3: It was really wearing me out, Like sure, reference them

539
00:25:04,493 --> 00:25:07,813
Speaker 3: a few times, but they were wearing me out with it.

540
00:25:08,093 --> 00:25:11,213
Speaker 4: Well, I'm happy for Mike McDonald who revealed late earlier

541
00:25:11,293 --> 00:25:13,332
Speaker 4: last week that he only spends about thirty minutes with

542
00:25:13,373 --> 00:25:14,253
Speaker 4: his son a week.

543
00:25:14,573 --> 00:25:15,213
Speaker 5: Did you see that?

544
00:25:16,213 --> 00:25:19,093
Speaker 2: No, yes, I have a good sit hang on, I

545
00:25:19,133 --> 00:25:20,373
Speaker 2: didn't hear this. What did he say?

546
00:25:20,613 --> 00:25:23,693
Speaker 4: Yeah, So he spends like Thursday afternoons with his family

547
00:25:23,813 --> 00:25:26,133
Speaker 4: and then he'll carve out about thirty minutes to spend

548
00:25:26,133 --> 00:25:28,292
Speaker 4: some time with his son before he goes down in

549
00:25:28,333 --> 00:25:30,693
Speaker 4: his man hit Cave and grind more film.

550
00:25:31,013 --> 00:25:33,293
Speaker 5: So he was saying earlier this week, I.

551
00:25:33,253 --> 00:25:35,133
Speaker 2: Have a theory on this too. About today's game.

552
00:25:35,613 --> 00:25:38,653
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know if you all saw this, but pregame,

553
00:25:38,773 --> 00:25:41,413
Speaker 3: Sean McVay was holding his young son on the sideline

554
00:25:41,413 --> 00:25:42,213
Speaker 3: and playing with him.

555
00:25:42,453 --> 00:25:43,812
Speaker 2: I don't know if he always does that.

556
00:25:43,893 --> 00:25:46,933
Speaker 3: I'm not always paying attention, but it felt a little intentional.

557
00:25:47,013 --> 00:25:50,053
Speaker 3: With all the Mike McDonald's stories this week about only

558
00:25:50,133 --> 00:25:53,693
Speaker 3: seeing his son thirty minutes a week, coincidentally, McVay is

559
00:25:53,693 --> 00:25:56,373
Speaker 3: walking around holding his son at kickoff just I was

560
00:25:56,413 --> 00:25:58,893
Speaker 3: watching that. My intennas were up looking at that might

561
00:25:58,933 --> 00:26:01,413
Speaker 3: be a little bit of a a intentional.

562
00:26:01,053 --> 00:26:04,373
Speaker 1: Yeah, that feels that feels pretty intentional.

563
00:26:04,453 --> 00:26:07,013
Speaker 2: That's weird. I don't know how I missed that story.

564
00:26:07,533 --> 00:26:09,853
Speaker 1: I don't know how much time you're supposed to spend

565
00:26:09,933 --> 00:26:11,973
Speaker 1: with your son, because I don't have a son, and

566
00:26:12,053 --> 00:26:15,572
Speaker 1: I don't think I should spend time with other people's sons.

567
00:26:15,573 --> 00:26:17,733
Speaker 2: So I don't really know what, but it feels like whatever.

568
00:26:18,453 --> 00:26:21,253
Speaker 1: It feels like it's better to say nothing than to

569
00:26:21,373 --> 00:26:25,373
Speaker 1: say thirty minutes. I feel like if you're gonna I

570
00:26:25,373 --> 00:26:27,573
Speaker 1: feel like you're gonna say you either want to say

571
00:26:28,213 --> 00:26:30,493
Speaker 1: I spend a lot of time with my family, or

572
00:26:30,613 --> 00:26:32,213
Speaker 1: I don't get to spend as much time as I

573
00:26:32,253 --> 00:26:32,733
Speaker 1: would want.

574
00:26:33,013 --> 00:26:35,812
Speaker 2: I don't think you should quantify thirty minutes.

575
00:26:49,893 --> 00:26:51,853
Speaker 1: All right, So now you got we get the super

576
00:26:51,853 --> 00:26:55,573
Speaker 1: Bowl May versus Darnald. Sam Darnald has a chance to

577
00:26:56,493 --> 00:27:00,493
Speaker 1: ruin my longtime super Bowl argument about how you can

578
00:27:00,533 --> 00:27:02,253
Speaker 1: only win the super Bowl either with a Hall of

579
00:27:02,253 --> 00:27:05,773
Speaker 1: Famer or with a guy or rookie contract. Drake make

580
00:27:06,173 --> 00:27:08,773
Speaker 1: Worst could could be the guy on the rookie contract.

581
00:27:09,413 --> 00:27:13,373
Speaker 1: But Sam Donald's not gonna be a Hall of Famer

582
00:27:13,653 --> 00:27:15,773
Speaker 1: and he's not on a rookie contract. He's been paying

583
00:27:15,813 --> 00:27:18,173
Speaker 1: a lot of money, so that he's got a chance

584
00:27:18,213 --> 00:27:21,733
Speaker 1: to ruin my theory. They're four and a half point favorite.

585
00:27:22,253 --> 00:27:25,493
Speaker 1: Do you like the Seahawks in a couple of weeks?

586
00:27:27,613 --> 00:27:29,933
Speaker 1: I like him to win. I think the Patriots are

587
00:27:29,933 --> 00:27:32,213
Speaker 1: gonna give him a game. It's it opened at three

588
00:27:32,253 --> 00:27:34,093
Speaker 1: and a half. That's like the worst line ever. I

589
00:27:34,133 --> 00:27:36,653
Speaker 1: hate three and a half. Just make it three.

590
00:27:36,773 --> 00:27:40,573
Speaker 3: I'd probably take the Seahawks to cover just I think

591
00:27:40,573 --> 00:27:41,373
Speaker 3: they're so balanced.

592
00:27:41,413 --> 00:27:42,813
Speaker 2: I mean, they don't have a star on the team.

593
00:27:42,853 --> 00:27:45,813
Speaker 3: The way they've been playing, they're good offensively good defensively.

594
00:27:46,013 --> 00:27:48,653
Speaker 3: I mean, excuse me, Jackson Smith and jigm is definitely

595
00:27:48,653 --> 00:27:50,853
Speaker 3: a star. But for the most part, they're just balanced

596
00:27:50,853 --> 00:27:53,133
Speaker 3: across the board. I think they were the more complete

597
00:27:53,133 --> 00:27:54,653
Speaker 3: team and they'll end up winning it.

598
00:27:56,293 --> 00:27:59,052
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean it sound like a party pooper,

599
00:27:59,133 --> 00:28:02,613
Speaker 1: but I don't feel like any of these teams when

600
00:28:02,653 --> 00:28:05,093
Speaker 1: they win it, it's gonna feel like they're actually a

601
00:28:05,133 --> 00:28:08,773
Speaker 1: super Bowl winner, you know. I feel like when teams

602
00:28:08,813 --> 00:28:12,332
Speaker 1: win the super Bowl, it's usually a progression, right, Like

603
00:28:12,413 --> 00:28:15,493
Speaker 1: you watch a team and for a year or two

604
00:28:15,573 --> 00:28:17,693
Speaker 1: they get to the playoffs but don't get to the

605
00:28:17,693 --> 00:28:20,812
Speaker 1: super Bowl, and you watch them develop into a team

606
00:28:21,373 --> 00:28:24,133
Speaker 1: that can get there, or you know, they get to

607
00:28:24,173 --> 00:28:25,853
Speaker 1: the promising don't quite get it.

608
00:28:25,893 --> 00:28:26,253
Speaker 2: Whatever.

609
00:28:26,813 --> 00:28:30,933
Speaker 1: Both these teams come out of nowhere. Really, both these

610
00:28:30,973 --> 00:28:34,973
Speaker 1: teams are basically brand new. The Patriots are brand new

611
00:28:35,093 --> 00:28:38,053
Speaker 1: because they have a secondyear quarterback, the new coach. Seahawks

612
00:28:38,053 --> 00:28:41,893
Speaker 1: are brand new, new coach and a new quarterback.

613
00:28:42,133 --> 00:28:43,973
Speaker 2: I just don't feel like either of these teams too.

614
00:28:44,093 --> 00:28:47,293
Speaker 1: This is going to end up being like a title

615
00:28:47,373 --> 00:28:50,533
Speaker 1: that's kind of like the Pistons in O four with

616
00:28:50,773 --> 00:28:53,093
Speaker 1: the Tayshan and all those guys.

617
00:28:52,973 --> 00:28:57,173
Speaker 2: Where like you'll go that just feels weird, you know.

618
00:28:58,893 --> 00:29:00,853
Speaker 3: Yeah, And you have throwaways of both sides. On on

619
00:29:01,013 --> 00:29:02,773
Speaker 3: end you have a quarterback who just got told to

620
00:29:02,853 --> 00:29:04,413
Speaker 3: kick rocks. The other side, you have a coach that

621
00:29:04,533 --> 00:29:07,013
Speaker 3: just got told to kick rocks. I mean, verbel, it's

622
00:29:07,053 --> 00:29:10,813
Speaker 3: my team plus our hearts. Mike was run out of Nashville.

623
00:29:11,093 --> 00:29:12,013
Speaker 3: Now he's in the super Bowl.

624
00:29:12,093 --> 00:29:14,493
Speaker 2: Sam Donald was running to the Titans fans.

625
00:29:14,333 --> 00:29:17,773
Speaker 3: Regret that, oh absolutely, I mean for him to be

626
00:29:17,853 --> 00:29:20,533
Speaker 3: there in year one, what just added to the list

627
00:29:20,573 --> 00:29:22,373
Speaker 3: of things they look bad for the Titans. But this

628
00:29:22,453 --> 00:29:24,293
Speaker 3: has to be at the top of that list. Now

629
00:29:24,533 --> 00:29:26,933
Speaker 3: for him to go from fire to the gym running

630
00:29:26,973 --> 00:29:27,653
Speaker 3: him out of there too.

631
00:29:27,693 --> 00:29:29,573
Speaker 2: In year one. He takes a four win team to

632
00:29:29,573 --> 00:29:30,253
Speaker 2: the super Bowl.

633
00:29:31,053 --> 00:29:33,853
Speaker 3: But it's just either side, you have someone that another

634
00:29:33,893 --> 00:29:36,533
Speaker 3: team had and just kicked out and now they're going

635
00:29:36,573 --> 00:29:37,493
Speaker 3: to have a ring on their fami.

636
00:29:38,093 --> 00:29:41,453
Speaker 1: Either one of these teams, like you need to win

637
00:29:41,893 --> 00:29:43,573
Speaker 1: because I don't feel like either one of these teams

638
00:29:43,573 --> 00:29:46,173
Speaker 1: are like set up to have years of this, you

639
00:29:46,213 --> 00:29:47,693
Speaker 1: know what I mean, Like, I don't feel like this

640
00:29:47,733 --> 00:29:51,253
Speaker 1: is the start of something. You know, maybe the Patriots,

641
00:29:51,293 --> 00:29:53,613
Speaker 1: but I don't I mean, I don't think they're that good.

642
00:29:54,013 --> 00:29:56,533
Speaker 1: I think they had a last play schedule. All the

643
00:29:56,613 --> 00:30:00,853
Speaker 1: other big quarterbacks had the issues. You know, maybe I'm wrong,

644
00:30:01,013 --> 00:30:03,053
Speaker 1: maybe they're back here next year, but that's what I think.

645
00:30:03,093 --> 00:30:07,093
Speaker 1: And then I think for the Seahawks, you know, NFC's down,

646
00:30:07,693 --> 00:30:08,733
Speaker 1: they have a great year.

647
00:30:09,133 --> 00:30:11,173
Speaker 2: I think both these teams like, you want to win now.

648
00:30:11,213 --> 00:30:13,493
Speaker 1: Obviously you want to win anyway, but I'm not sure

649
00:30:13,533 --> 00:30:15,413
Speaker 1: that we'll see I don't think we'll see either of

650
00:30:15,453 --> 00:30:18,413
Speaker 1: these teams again next year, so now's the time to

651
00:30:18,533 --> 00:30:19,213
Speaker 1: pounds on it.

652
00:30:20,253 --> 00:30:21,653
Speaker 2: I think the Patriots are set up.

653
00:30:21,653 --> 00:30:23,333
Speaker 3: I don't think they have a dynasty like they did

654
00:30:23,373 --> 00:30:26,093
Speaker 3: anything crazy, but they're just a gritty team. That's kind

655
00:30:26,093 --> 00:30:29,293
Speaker 3: of how the Titans had some success with Rabel. He's

656
00:30:29,333 --> 00:30:31,093
Speaker 3: just a good coach. The fact that they I know,

657
00:30:31,133 --> 00:30:33,533
Speaker 3: they're not anything special, but the fact that they went

658
00:30:33,693 --> 00:30:35,493
Speaker 3: nine to zero on the road just says a lot

659
00:30:35,533 --> 00:30:37,293
Speaker 3: about him and how he's able to get him up.

660
00:30:38,013 --> 00:30:40,013
Speaker 3: You know nothing, but I want to hate on him.

661
00:30:40,013 --> 00:30:42,333
Speaker 3: Come on, I know they'll be they'll be knocking on

662
00:30:42,333 --> 00:30:44,053
Speaker 3: the door for a while, but I don't think we're

663
00:30:44,093 --> 00:30:46,933
Speaker 3: like looking at the next wave of a dynasty Drake May.

664
00:30:47,173 --> 00:30:51,133
Speaker 1: Like, if you think Drake May is what New England

665
00:30:51,213 --> 00:30:53,653
Speaker 1: fans think he is, then yeah, this is the start

666
00:30:53,693 --> 00:30:57,413
Speaker 1: of a long run. I think he's been really poor

667
00:30:57,533 --> 00:31:00,013
Speaker 1: in these playoffs. He's just been fortunate that there have

668
00:31:00,013 --> 00:31:02,893
Speaker 1: been c J. Stroud has one of the worst games

669
00:31:02,893 --> 00:31:05,053
Speaker 1: in the history of the playoffs, and then Jared Stidham,

670
00:31:05,493 --> 00:31:09,053
Speaker 1: you know, is was a banker a few weeks ago.

671
00:31:09,213 --> 00:31:13,053
Speaker 1: So like, I I'm not trying to hate, I clearly

672
00:31:13,093 --> 00:31:17,453
Speaker 1: am hating, but you're like Seahawks Patriots, yeah.

673
00:31:17,293 --> 00:31:18,933
Speaker 2: And Patriots Patriots are excited.

674
00:31:19,333 --> 00:31:23,613
Speaker 3: Uh, Drake May is younger than Tom Brady was before

675
00:31:23,613 --> 00:31:26,013
Speaker 3: he even took over for Bloodsoe. So the ones that

676
00:31:26,093 --> 00:31:28,213
Speaker 3: really believe he's the future, they look like they're getting

677
00:31:28,213 --> 00:31:31,173
Speaker 3: an even bigger head start on this next dynasty.

678
00:31:31,853 --> 00:31:32,813
Speaker 2: Whether that's truly or not.

679
00:31:33,293 --> 00:31:38,213
Speaker 1: What does really bother me though, is like week seven

680
00:31:38,773 --> 00:31:42,053
Speaker 1: or week eight or something of the season. I was

681
00:31:42,093 --> 00:31:47,133
Speaker 1: looking at Super Bowl like matchup odds and the Seahawks

682
00:31:47,133 --> 00:31:48,973
Speaker 1: at the time, I think were like six and one

683
00:31:49,013 --> 00:31:51,613
Speaker 1: and maybe the Patriots were six and two or something,

684
00:31:52,293 --> 00:31:55,293
Speaker 1: and I looked and I was like, these two teams

685
00:31:55,373 --> 00:31:57,053
Speaker 1: right now would be the one seeds, and it was

686
00:31:57,093 --> 00:32:00,973
Speaker 1: like sixty to one, and I thought, why is this

687
00:32:01,093 --> 00:32:04,213
Speaker 1: so high? Well, I don't maybe I should just bet

688
00:32:04,253 --> 00:32:07,173
Speaker 1: this right, Like, I don't like either of these teams.

689
00:32:07,413 --> 00:32:09,173
Speaker 1: This would be a miserable finish.

690
00:32:09,733 --> 00:32:14,173
Speaker 2: And now I go, you know, twenty bucks, Like, how

691
00:32:14,213 --> 00:32:15,013
Speaker 2: did I not do that?

692
00:32:15,053 --> 00:32:17,813
Speaker 1: But I do think literally, even when they were both

693
00:32:17,813 --> 00:32:21,093
Speaker 1: in first place, it was literally like sixty to one.

694
00:32:21,053 --> 00:32:22,573
Speaker 2: Or something at one point.

695
00:32:23,333 --> 00:32:25,253
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean all season, even though they kept winning,

696
00:32:25,293 --> 00:32:26,613
Speaker 3: they had two of the best win streaks in the

697
00:32:26,653 --> 00:32:29,493
Speaker 3: regular season, it never felt like they were a real,

698
00:32:30,493 --> 00:32:32,573
Speaker 3: you know, team that could get all the way to

699
00:32:32,573 --> 00:32:34,613
Speaker 3: the super Bowl. They're winning games, you'd be like, well

700
00:32:34,853 --> 00:32:36,973
Speaker 3: they won't again, I guess they're good, but it never

701
00:32:37,013 --> 00:32:38,493
Speaker 3: felt like they were gonna go all the way.

702
00:32:38,973 --> 00:32:42,093
Speaker 2: They're like with plus twelve hundred to win the super Bowl.

703
00:32:42,173 --> 00:32:44,933
Speaker 1: At the start of the playoffs, you know, like even

704
00:32:44,973 --> 00:32:47,693
Speaker 1: though they were the two seed, I want to say

705
00:32:47,773 --> 00:32:50,173
Speaker 1: that they were something like plus twelve hundred, they were

706
00:32:50,213 --> 00:32:54,053
Speaker 1: like the seventh most likely team. So I don't know,

707
00:32:54,093 --> 00:32:55,533
Speaker 1: I kind of felt like they were gonna win from

708
00:32:55,533 --> 00:32:57,293
Speaker 1: the beginning because and I thought, we're probably gonna win

709
00:32:57,333 --> 00:33:00,453
Speaker 1: next week, and I'm just gonna I'm not gonna like it,

710
00:33:00,493 --> 00:33:04,613
Speaker 1: all right, So, Billy, what else do we have besides

711
00:33:04,693 --> 00:33:06,613
Speaker 1: these championship games?

712
00:33:06,653 --> 00:33:07,933
Speaker 2: Since the last time we've been on.

713
00:33:08,893 --> 00:33:12,773
Speaker 4: Two new coaches were hired in the AFC North. Jesse Mintor,

714
00:33:12,973 --> 00:33:15,373
Speaker 4: the defensive coordinator for the Chargers, is now the head

715
00:33:15,413 --> 00:33:18,693
Speaker 4: coach of the Ravens, and Mike McCarthy is the new

716
00:33:18,733 --> 00:33:21,333
Speaker 4: man in Pittsburgh.

717
00:33:21,453 --> 00:33:24,173
Speaker 2: Okay, so let's start with Mike McCarthy.

718
00:33:25,933 --> 00:33:28,493
Speaker 1: I think what's interesting about him is he will now

719
00:33:28,533 --> 00:33:32,893
Speaker 1: have coached the three most iconic franchises in the in football,

720
00:33:33,093 --> 00:33:36,373
Speaker 1: the Steelers, the Packers, and the Cowboys.

721
00:33:36,213 --> 00:33:37,133
Speaker 2: That's amazing.

722
00:33:37,493 --> 00:33:39,933
Speaker 1: I mean it would be like you only had three

723
00:33:40,053 --> 00:33:42,933
Speaker 1: jobs in baseball and it was the Red Sox, Yankees

724
00:33:42,973 --> 00:33:45,093
Speaker 1: and Coves, I mean, you know, or Dodgers. I mean,

725
00:33:45,893 --> 00:33:48,693
Speaker 1: it's kind of crazy that that would be the thing.

726
00:33:48,733 --> 00:33:51,373
Speaker 1: And he's not exactly a legend, and yet he's the guy.

727
00:33:52,053 --> 00:33:56,133
Speaker 1: It also doesn't fit what they usually do, which is

728
00:33:56,213 --> 00:33:58,413
Speaker 1: hire a young guy and keep them for twenty years.

729
00:33:59,053 --> 00:34:01,533
Speaker 1: And also it feels like he's just Mike Tomlin, but

730
00:34:01,653 --> 00:34:03,053
Speaker 1: maybe not quite as good.

731
00:34:03,573 --> 00:34:08,213
Speaker 2: So I find it an odd hire about you. Yeah,

732
00:34:08,252 --> 00:34:10,692
Speaker 2: for one, I'm with you on. It's crazy that he

733
00:34:10,732 --> 00:34:13,093
Speaker 2: gets to coach those three teams. And he's a Pittsburgh native,

734
00:34:13,172 --> 00:34:15,252
Speaker 2: so he's got to be pinching himself. This is his

735
00:34:15,292 --> 00:34:15,853
Speaker 2: new job.

736
00:34:15,933 --> 00:34:18,532
Speaker 3: But you know, I've talked about him the last several

737
00:34:18,573 --> 00:34:20,292
Speaker 3: weeks while he was hot on the Titans list, and

738
00:34:20,292 --> 00:34:22,772
Speaker 3: I didn't really want him. I wanted a young guy.

739
00:34:23,252 --> 00:34:25,852
Speaker 3: He's got to be in his mid sixties if I

740
00:34:25,893 --> 00:34:26,972
Speaker 3: were guessing, even if.

741
00:34:26,852 --> 00:34:28,772
Speaker 2: It was he, I think I saw sixty two.

742
00:34:28,852 --> 00:34:31,492
Speaker 3: Maybe okay, a little younger in I thought, but that's

743
00:34:31,533 --> 00:34:34,573
Speaker 3: an organization that's had three coaches in like two hundred years,

744
00:34:34,573 --> 00:34:36,612
Speaker 3: and whatever you think of then he's probably not gonna

745
00:34:36,613 --> 00:34:38,172
Speaker 3: have a whole lot left. So it was just a

746
00:34:38,212 --> 00:34:40,772
Speaker 3: little different than what you think of Pittsburgh. But good

747
00:34:40,812 --> 00:34:44,292
Speaker 3: for him going home another good job. I didn't want him,

748
00:34:44,332 --> 00:34:46,533
Speaker 3: but good go get him into Pittsburgh.

749
00:34:46,812 --> 00:34:48,972
Speaker 1: I only think you hire Mike McCarthy if you think

750
00:34:48,973 --> 00:34:50,172
Speaker 1: you can go win the Super Bowl?

751
00:34:50,332 --> 00:34:52,812
Speaker 2: Right like what like? I mean, they don't have a quarterback.

752
00:34:53,812 --> 00:34:56,852
Speaker 1: To me, you get a coordinator and you let him

753
00:34:56,893 --> 00:34:58,453
Speaker 1: build their career.

754
00:34:58,973 --> 00:35:00,053
Speaker 2: I was surprised by it.

755
00:35:00,093 --> 00:35:03,772
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't he won't fail, but I think, like,

756
00:35:04,332 --> 00:35:07,212
Speaker 1: you know, Tomlin would win nine games every year. I

757
00:35:07,252 --> 00:35:09,452
Speaker 1: kind of think McCarthy's gonna win eight games every year.

758
00:35:09,493 --> 00:35:11,652
Speaker 1: That's kind of how I feel like. I feel like

759
00:35:11,692 --> 00:35:14,692
Speaker 1: that's what it's gonna be. He's like a little worse Tomlin. Now,

760
00:35:14,692 --> 00:35:19,412
Speaker 1: as far as mentor, his dad was once the coordinator

761
00:35:19,493 --> 00:35:23,212
Speaker 1: for our team, the Kentucky Wildcats. I know nothing about

762
00:35:23,292 --> 00:35:28,453
Speaker 1: him except he's like he's everyone's nerd, the NERD's favorite choice.

763
00:35:28,692 --> 00:35:31,573
Speaker 1: So the nerd football riders are like, oh, what a

764
00:35:31,692 --> 00:35:36,013
Speaker 1: higher I mean, do you do you buy that?

765
00:35:37,573 --> 00:35:39,692
Speaker 2: I just knew he was, you know, one of the

766
00:35:39,732 --> 00:35:44,172
Speaker 2: hottest names on the board. I get the Ravens going

767
00:35:44,212 --> 00:35:46,093
Speaker 2: coordinator route defense.

768
00:35:46,172 --> 00:35:49,053
Speaker 3: I just wonder what the Ravens future really looks like

769
00:35:49,093 --> 00:35:51,892
Speaker 3: with the Lamar situation and what he's owed and how

770
00:35:52,013 --> 00:35:54,972
Speaker 3: Lamar looked this last year. I know he's heard had

771
00:35:55,013 --> 00:35:57,572
Speaker 3: some hamshring stuff, but that did not look like even

772
00:35:57,613 --> 00:36:00,613
Speaker 3: when he was supposedly healthy and playing. That did not

773
00:36:00,732 --> 00:36:03,492
Speaker 3: look like the Lamar we've all seen forever. So they're

774
00:36:03,533 --> 00:36:05,613
Speaker 3: in a weird spot as he's coming in to take over.

775
00:36:05,732 --> 00:36:08,172
Speaker 3: I just I guess it's exciting if you're a fan

776
00:36:08,212 --> 00:36:09,812
Speaker 3: because that's a hot name, But I don't know what

777
00:36:09,852 --> 00:36:11,732
Speaker 3: my team looks like. They have a lot of old dudes.

778
00:36:12,013 --> 00:36:15,053
Speaker 3: Derrick Henry, you know what's he gonna do all throughout

779
00:36:15,093 --> 00:36:16,932
Speaker 3: the roster. There was kind of a win now year

780
00:36:17,053 --> 00:36:18,612
Speaker 3: and they dropped the ball big time.

781
00:36:20,172 --> 00:36:23,892
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I mean, I okay, so they hire a

782
00:36:23,933 --> 00:36:26,613
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator, but you bet I guess who he hires.

783
00:36:26,613 --> 00:36:28,172
Speaker 2: Your offensive coordinator is gonna matter.

784
00:36:28,212 --> 00:36:30,252
Speaker 1: I mean, ultimately, you're not gonna do anything over the

785
00:36:30,252 --> 00:36:32,452
Speaker 1: next couple of years unless Lamar does it.

786
00:36:33,893 --> 00:36:35,253
Speaker 2: People seem to love this guy.

787
00:36:35,613 --> 00:36:38,372
Speaker 1: I know, the young coordinator thing has worked, but the

788
00:36:38,413 --> 00:36:41,932
Speaker 1: young coordinator thing has worked with offensive guys. I mean,

789
00:36:41,973 --> 00:36:46,053
Speaker 1: we haven't really seen the young coordinator defense thing. It's

790
00:36:46,093 --> 00:36:49,292
Speaker 1: not been the way people have gone recently. So we'll see.

791
00:36:49,372 --> 00:36:51,812
Speaker 1: I mean, I can't make strong statements either way since

792
00:36:51,852 --> 00:36:52,533
Speaker 1: I don't know him.

793
00:36:52,613 --> 00:36:56,292
Speaker 2: His dad was horrible as a coordinator. A great nick name,

794
00:36:56,453 --> 00:36:57,493
Speaker 2: not a great coordinator.

795
00:36:57,613 --> 00:37:02,492
Speaker 1: Yeah, they might be looking at the Mike McDonald mold.

796
00:37:02,533 --> 00:37:05,292
Speaker 2: He was defensive with Seattle. I guess I mean that

797
00:37:05,372 --> 00:37:07,732
Speaker 2: you come in from the Ravens too. That would be

798
00:37:07,772 --> 00:37:08,492
Speaker 2: what they would do.

799
00:37:10,372 --> 00:37:13,212
Speaker 1: But I mean, we'll see I'm gonna start calling him

800
00:37:13,292 --> 00:37:17,133
Speaker 1: nuclear mentor's name is what Jesse? That's nuclear is much

801
00:37:17,133 --> 00:37:20,772
Speaker 1: better than Jesse. I feel like Jesse's a terrible name

802
00:37:20,852 --> 00:37:25,892
Speaker 1: for a coach. I mean, I to me, it's like

803
00:37:26,372 --> 00:37:31,093
Speaker 1: Mikey or you know, you can't or Billy like if

804
00:37:31,133 --> 00:37:32,332
Speaker 1: I'm if I'm.

805
00:37:32,093 --> 00:37:33,533
Speaker 2: Gonna be, you're gonna be.

806
00:37:33,652 --> 00:37:36,172
Speaker 1: If you're gonna be a coach, you need to be

807
00:37:36,252 --> 00:37:40,652
Speaker 1: the novel eve versus you need to be Bill or

808
00:37:40,812 --> 00:37:46,093
Speaker 1: Mike or Jess like Jesse. I just don't think that

809
00:37:46,172 --> 00:37:51,333
Speaker 1: sounds like a coach Jesse. I'm definitely going by nuclear too.

810
00:37:51,812 --> 00:37:54,292
Speaker 1: If I'm Jesse Minner. I'm trying to think, is there

811
00:37:54,332 --> 00:37:58,172
Speaker 1: been anyone in a position of leadership of success ever

812
00:37:58,332 --> 00:37:59,053
Speaker 1: named Jesse?

813
00:37:59,493 --> 00:38:03,732
Speaker 2: How about Jesse Ventura? Oh well, no, that's true. There

814
00:38:03,732 --> 00:38:04,013
Speaker 2: you go.

815
00:38:04,212 --> 00:38:09,252
Speaker 1: Okay, I take it back. But Jesse the body Ventura.

816
00:38:09,613 --> 00:38:13,452
Speaker 2: Successful in two different two professions. That's right.

817
00:38:13,812 --> 00:38:17,452
Speaker 1: He both was a leadership in the locker room at

818
00:38:17,533 --> 00:38:18,772
Speaker 1: w W and in the.

819
00:38:18,772 --> 00:38:21,812
Speaker 2: State House of Minnesota.

820
00:38:22,172 --> 00:38:24,412
Speaker 1: So you know what, I take you back. I've got

821
00:38:24,852 --> 00:38:28,973
Speaker 1: a lot of faith in Jesse Melters' career. Jesse Jackson.

822
00:38:31,172 --> 00:38:35,093
Speaker 1: Maybe we're sleeping on Jesse's he was he was never

823
00:38:35,133 --> 00:38:38,412
Speaker 1: an official leader though he was like he was an

824
00:38:38,453 --> 00:38:39,453
Speaker 1: unofficial leader.

825
00:38:39,493 --> 00:38:41,613
Speaker 2: But good je about your Jesse's.

826
00:38:41,332 --> 00:38:44,133
Speaker 3: What about the old outlaw Jesse James I met? There's

827
00:38:44,212 --> 00:38:45,973
Speaker 3: more Jesse's official leader.

828
00:38:46,812 --> 00:38:48,932
Speaker 1: These are a lot of characters, But I don't know

829
00:38:48,973 --> 00:38:52,252
Speaker 1: if I want to give them the keys to my franchise.

830
00:38:52,973 --> 00:38:55,213
Speaker 3: Last one Saved by the Bell Jesse.

831
00:38:55,372 --> 00:38:56,892
Speaker 2: That's all I got. Those are my four.

832
00:38:57,573 --> 00:39:01,652
Speaker 1: She is excited and she's also scared, so I think

833
00:39:01,692 --> 00:39:04,532
Speaker 1: that makes it a little bit, a little bit hard.

834
00:39:04,613 --> 00:39:21,333
Speaker 1: That's a reference Billy won't get what's next.

835
00:39:22,812 --> 00:39:26,213
Speaker 4: The Buffalo Bills interviewed Philip Rivers for their head coaching spot.

836
00:39:26,413 --> 00:39:28,292
Speaker 5: They have not made a decision yet at this time.

837
00:39:29,332 --> 00:39:34,252
Speaker 1: This is the second weirdest flash on my screen, and

838
00:39:34,332 --> 00:39:37,613
Speaker 1: I think it has to be a joke interview in history.

839
00:39:37,893 --> 00:39:38,932
Speaker 2: Nothing we'll ever top.

840
00:39:39,013 --> 00:39:44,412
Speaker 1: The Browns are interviewing Condoleeza Rice to be there, which

841
00:39:44,453 --> 00:39:48,212
Speaker 1: is genuinely interesting. I worry about that. That was my

842
00:39:48,292 --> 00:39:50,773
Speaker 1: first day ever on ESPN Radio.

843
00:39:50,973 --> 00:39:52,652
Speaker 5: First day, my first day.

844
00:39:52,852 --> 00:39:56,053
Speaker 1: That story broke like the night before, and it was

845
00:39:56,093 --> 00:39:58,373
Speaker 1: a Saturday morning. I was filled in for Marty McGhee

846
00:39:58,732 --> 00:40:02,732
Speaker 1: and the top story was Condoleeza Rice's interview with the Browns.

847
00:40:03,133 --> 00:40:04,652
Speaker 2: Do you think that's a good idea?

848
00:40:04,933 --> 00:40:08,093
Speaker 1: And I set I remember thinking, what do I say,

849
00:40:08,573 --> 00:40:13,493
Speaker 1: because it's a terrible idea. But she's never coached anything,

850
00:40:14,093 --> 00:40:17,772
Speaker 1: I'm aware, and I was like, and I remember people

851
00:40:17,812 --> 00:40:20,893
Speaker 1: were going, well, she's a good leader, and I was said, well, okay,

852
00:40:21,133 --> 00:40:26,292
Speaker 1: But so anyway, this one is not quite as shocking as.

853
00:40:26,212 --> 00:40:28,093
Speaker 2: That one drew, but fairly surprising.

854
00:40:29,372 --> 00:40:31,372
Speaker 3: I gotta tell you, I didn't I didn't really care

855
00:40:31,413 --> 00:40:33,452
Speaker 3: for Philip Rivers as a player, but since he came

856
00:40:33,533 --> 00:40:35,772
Speaker 3: back to play for the Colts, it had his little

857
00:40:35,812 --> 00:40:38,293
Speaker 3: run there and we all fell for the Philip Rivers moment.

858
00:40:38,493 --> 00:40:40,133
Speaker 3: I'm all in and I hope he gets the job,

859
00:40:40,172 --> 00:40:42,733
Speaker 3: and I hope he wins. He's coaching a high school

860
00:40:42,772 --> 00:40:46,133
Speaker 3: team right now. To go from high school to the Bills,

861
00:40:46,852 --> 00:40:49,533
Speaker 3: I'm just done a serious right now.

862
00:40:49,573 --> 00:40:51,812
Speaker 2: I am I am a good decision.

863
00:40:52,413 --> 00:40:54,972
Speaker 3: I'm not saying it's good. I said I'm rooting for it.

864
00:40:54,973 --> 00:40:56,493
Speaker 3: It actually is pretty ridiculous.

865
00:40:56,732 --> 00:40:57,172
Speaker 2: I'm with you.

866
00:40:57,252 --> 00:40:59,093
Speaker 3: The moment I saw their interview and I thought, well,

867
00:40:59,133 --> 00:41:01,772
Speaker 3: this can't be real. But now that it's actually on

868
00:41:01,812 --> 00:41:03,452
Speaker 3: the table and he's been interviewed. I don't know how

869
00:41:03,493 --> 00:41:05,772
Speaker 3: serious her close he is to get the job. I'm

870
00:41:05,812 --> 00:41:08,172
Speaker 3: rooting for. He won me over in Indianapolis, a team

871
00:41:08,212 --> 00:41:10,253
Speaker 3: I don't even like, And I'm all in on Philip

872
00:41:10,332 --> 00:41:11,853
Speaker 3: Rivers coming back into the league.

873
00:41:12,772 --> 00:41:14,492
Speaker 2: This is a horrible idea.

874
00:41:14,613 --> 00:41:17,252
Speaker 1: I don't know why people think a person that has

875
00:41:17,372 --> 00:41:18,493
Speaker 1: never coached.

876
00:41:19,013 --> 00:41:21,492
Speaker 2: I don't care that he's Coast high school. I can

877
00:41:21,533 --> 00:41:23,533
Speaker 2: show you a lot of people in coast high.

878
00:41:23,413 --> 00:41:27,133
Speaker 1: School and some of them get tased on basketball courts

879
00:41:27,172 --> 00:41:27,772
Speaker 1: in Kentucky.

880
00:41:27,852 --> 00:41:28,852
Speaker 2: I do not think that.

881
00:41:29,732 --> 00:41:31,652
Speaker 1: I don't think the fact that you coasted high school

882
00:41:31,692 --> 00:41:34,652
Speaker 1: this makes you have why did Jeff Saturday?

883
00:41:34,772 --> 00:41:37,292
Speaker 2: They did this with Jeff Saturday and.

884
00:41:36,732 --> 00:41:39,212
Speaker 1: That didn't work? Like, why do people think this is

885
00:41:39,252 --> 00:41:41,652
Speaker 1: gonna work? Get a coach? Right?

886
00:41:42,093 --> 00:41:45,012
Speaker 2: You don't just got gres a coach.

887
00:41:45,053 --> 00:41:47,652
Speaker 1: It's like it'd be as if it would be as

888
00:41:47,692 --> 00:41:52,093
Speaker 1: if the CEO of Ford resigns and they go, why

889
00:41:52,172 --> 00:41:57,693
Speaker 1: don't we go get Matt Kinson? Like no, just because

890
00:41:57,692 --> 00:42:00,493
Speaker 1: he can drive a car doesn't mean he can run

891
00:42:00,573 --> 00:42:03,812
Speaker 1: a car company.

892
00:42:04,493 --> 00:42:06,692
Speaker 2: I agree with you, but I'm also rooting for I'm

893
00:42:06,692 --> 00:42:08,292
Speaker 2: all in on Philip. We are they gonna go get

894
00:42:08,332 --> 00:42:08,813
Speaker 2: a coordinator.

895
00:42:08,852 --> 00:42:11,812
Speaker 3: I saw they were looking at like a commander's assistant

896
00:42:11,852 --> 00:42:13,692
Speaker 3: coach or a Dolphins assistant coach.

897
00:42:13,772 --> 00:42:17,172
Speaker 1: Yes, that's what they're gonna do, someone that has coached.

898
00:42:19,933 --> 00:42:23,372
Speaker 2: Wait, is this is this never has worked? Wait hear

899
00:42:23,372 --> 00:42:26,933
Speaker 2: me out. Hear me out. Ladaian Town wents an offensive coordinator.

900
00:42:27,053 --> 00:42:29,372
Speaker 1: Okay, fine, f if you just want to make the

901
00:42:29,573 --> 00:42:33,973
Speaker 1: entire staff people who have never coached, and then fine,

902
00:42:34,372 --> 00:42:37,613
Speaker 1: maybe we'll find out. It's like Weatherman, anyone can do it.

903
00:42:37,772 --> 00:42:40,892
Speaker 1: You just you know, hey, let's get defensive it. It's

904
00:42:40,893 --> 00:42:45,292
Speaker 1: like when people would argue, you know, why don't they

905
00:42:45,453 --> 00:42:48,493
Speaker 1: hire some like I remember when Dion wasn't even coaching.

906
00:42:48,573 --> 00:42:50,613
Speaker 1: Let's make you the Cowboys coach. No, go get a

907
00:42:50,692 --> 00:42:54,732
Speaker 1: job first. Okay, go get a job Jackson State, Colorado.

908
00:42:54,772 --> 00:42:57,693
Speaker 1: That's fine, let's not start with the Cowboys. I feel

909
00:42:57,692 --> 00:43:00,172
Speaker 1: this way about Philip Rivers. This is an awful decision,

910
00:43:00,172 --> 00:43:02,973
Speaker 1: and the Bills are a contender. Like, don't just go

911
00:43:03,172 --> 00:43:05,172
Speaker 1: pick some guy.

912
00:43:05,453 --> 00:43:08,293
Speaker 3: Wait, josh One could learn from a former ANFC quarterback

913
00:43:08,332 --> 00:43:09,292
Speaker 3: who couldn't get over the home.

914
00:43:11,372 --> 00:43:13,933
Speaker 2: You could learn from a quarterback that he beat regularly.

915
00:43:15,372 --> 00:43:18,652
Speaker 3: So you're saying, Philip Rivers to Jackson State, then he

916
00:43:18,692 --> 00:43:20,413
Speaker 3: can start interviewing approach.

917
00:43:20,732 --> 00:43:24,092
Speaker 1: The other day, Uh, there was some story about there's

918
00:43:24,093 --> 00:43:26,652
Speaker 1: someone in the NFL right now who the quarterback coach

919
00:43:27,613 --> 00:43:30,252
Speaker 1: for was like the backup of the guy he coaches.

920
00:43:30,812 --> 00:43:32,772
Speaker 1: I don't know how that works either. I don't know

921
00:43:32,812 --> 00:43:35,812
Speaker 1: how you go like I was better than you. But

922
00:43:36,613 --> 00:43:38,812
Speaker 1: but I mean some of that. You know, you look

923
00:43:38,812 --> 00:43:41,053
Speaker 1: at all these coaches. How many of the best coaches

924
00:43:41,093 --> 00:43:49,973
Speaker 1: in the NFL even were okay NFL players, I mean, harball, okay, harball,

925
00:43:50,252 --> 00:43:52,053
Speaker 1: But like just look at the guys that played today.

926
00:43:52,093 --> 00:43:55,732
Speaker 1: I mean, Sean McVay didn't play, right. I don't think

927
00:43:55,772 --> 00:44:01,732
Speaker 1: Mike McDonald played. You know, Mike Rabel looks like he played.

928
00:44:01,732 --> 00:44:03,573
Speaker 1: But was he good in the NFL?

929
00:44:04,172 --> 00:44:06,732
Speaker 3: Oh Verbel was very good? Yeah, verybel would the answer.

930
00:44:07,013 --> 00:44:08,973
Speaker 3: Dan Campbell played, I don't know how good he was.

931
00:44:09,252 --> 00:44:10,013
Speaker 2: He was okay.

932
00:44:10,172 --> 00:44:12,213
Speaker 1: I mean, so you get those guys that are okay,

933
00:44:12,252 --> 00:44:14,573
Speaker 1: but you a lot of Liam Cohen didn't play. I

934
00:44:14,573 --> 00:44:17,213
Speaker 1: mean a lot of these sort of younger coordinator types

935
00:44:17,252 --> 00:44:18,093
Speaker 1: didn't play, don't.

936
00:44:18,292 --> 00:44:22,092
Speaker 2: I don't get the Philip Rivers thing. I mean, Magare

937
00:44:22,212 --> 00:44:24,732
Speaker 2: Daniel was a ball boy that was kind of like playing. Yeah.

938
00:44:24,732 --> 00:44:26,613
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that guy looks like he played. I mean,

939
00:44:26,652 --> 00:44:28,852
Speaker 1: he's much more likely to be in a DJ than

940
00:44:28,973 --> 00:44:31,333
Speaker 1: be a coach. All right, what else, Billy?

941
00:44:31,613 --> 00:44:32,332
Speaker 5: I got one more thing.

942
00:44:32,372 --> 00:44:34,493
Speaker 4: It's not much of a news note, but Robert Kraft

943
00:44:34,652 --> 00:44:35,853
Speaker 4: is back in the super Bowl.

944
00:44:35,973 --> 00:44:38,333
Speaker 5: You know, Tom Brady won a Super Bowl with the Bucks.

945
00:44:38,613 --> 00:44:41,573
Speaker 4: Does this result to change your opinion on Bill Belichick

946
00:44:41,613 --> 00:44:43,292
Speaker 4: and what he achieved at all?

947
00:44:45,292 --> 00:44:48,973
Speaker 2: I hadn't thought of that as an angle. No, I

948
00:44:48,973 --> 00:44:51,852
Speaker 2: mean I don't think that. I think that. You know,

949
00:44:51,893 --> 00:44:53,133
Speaker 2: the Belichick.

950
00:44:52,692 --> 00:44:57,332
Speaker 1: Brady debate is kind of a stupid debate to me,

951
00:44:57,453 --> 00:45:01,533
Speaker 1: because they're both obviously great. Like nobody debates Bill Walsh

952
00:45:01,732 --> 00:45:05,452
Speaker 1: versus Joe Montana. They just say, hey, they're both they

953
00:45:05,493 --> 00:45:10,333
Speaker 1: were both great. So I Vrabel is in the Belichick tree.

954
00:45:10,372 --> 00:45:13,613
Speaker 1: I think that's a positive. Uh So, so, No, I

955
00:45:13,652 --> 00:45:17,372
Speaker 1: would say, Drew Robert Kraft. I don't know how much

956
00:45:17,493 --> 00:45:21,093
Speaker 1: credit to give owners for these things. I guess he

957
00:45:21,212 --> 00:45:25,732
Speaker 1: deserves some credit, but it would be a far behind

958
00:45:25,772 --> 00:45:29,053
Speaker 1: for me, even Vrabel and Drake may or really anyone

959
00:45:29,093 --> 00:45:32,973
Speaker 1: involved having been an owner of some things.

960
00:45:33,973 --> 00:45:35,773
Speaker 2: You know, that would be like when.

961
00:45:35,652 --> 00:45:37,772
Speaker 1: I know when I you know, with O B W

962
00:45:38,372 --> 00:45:42,692
Speaker 1: if two people, mister spectacular you know, wrestles Dustin Jackson,

963
00:45:42,852 --> 00:45:44,053
Speaker 1: and when it's over, I'm like.

964
00:45:44,453 --> 00:45:48,093
Speaker 2: All right, thank you. Look look what I did.

965
00:45:49,493 --> 00:45:51,372
Speaker 1: Like, you know, come on, I mean there's a role

966
00:45:51,453 --> 00:45:53,172
Speaker 1: I guess for the owner, but it's not the man.

967
00:45:54,852 --> 00:45:57,972
Speaker 3: Yeah, and not I mean Rabel. That hire is going

968
00:45:58,053 --> 00:45:59,853
Speaker 3: to be an awesome I don't think there's any question.

969
00:45:59,973 --> 00:46:02,172
Speaker 3: But also that kind of fell in his lap. He

970
00:46:02,252 --> 00:46:05,412
Speaker 3: was great with the Titans. Titans fired him right as

971
00:46:05,453 --> 00:46:07,852
Speaker 3: the Patriots an opening. I guess he took a year off.

972
00:46:08,093 --> 00:46:10,332
Speaker 3: But that was a very easy hire frohim to make

973
00:46:10,372 --> 00:46:12,852
Speaker 3: a former captain with rings all over his fingers from

974
00:46:12,852 --> 00:46:16,533
Speaker 3: New Orleans or from New England, a fan favorite who's

975
00:46:16,573 --> 00:46:20,252
Speaker 3: just suddenly opened. So yes, he made the right hire.

976
00:46:20,292 --> 00:46:24,453
Speaker 3: But also hiring Mike Vrabel for that Patriots owner opening

977
00:46:24,573 --> 00:46:28,973
Speaker 3: was pretty easy to make. It's all his lap. Really well,

978
00:46:29,212 --> 00:46:33,172
Speaker 3: good luck to Robert Kraft, and I hope that the

979
00:46:33,772 --> 00:46:37,852
Speaker 3: Patriots lose bout thirty. So all right, well, we will

980
00:46:37,852 --> 00:46:38,732
Speaker 3: be back this week.

981
00:46:38,772 --> 00:46:40,452
Speaker 1: We're going to when we come back in the middle

982
00:46:40,453 --> 00:46:42,652
Speaker 1: of the week, we have a We're going to be

983
00:46:42,692 --> 00:46:47,493
Speaker 1: on super Bowl Radio row and we've gotten a list

984
00:46:47,573 --> 00:46:50,973
Speaker 1: of three hundred people that we can choose whether or

985
00:46:50,973 --> 00:46:52,613
Speaker 1: not we want to interview, and we're going to go

986
00:46:52,692 --> 00:46:55,413
Speaker 1: over some of them later in the week to decide

987
00:46:55,413 --> 00:46:57,732
Speaker 1: if you all think we should interview them. I mean

988
00:46:57,732 --> 00:46:59,972
Speaker 1: this show, if you if you've listened a lot this year,

989
00:46:59,973 --> 00:47:02,492
Speaker 1: we've interviewed exactly no one so.

990
00:47:03,613 --> 00:47:09,573
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, Yeah, thens couple and they got married.

991
00:47:09,613 --> 00:47:12,852
Speaker 5: We interviewed him, Yeah, Brown Spider, that's true.

992
00:47:12,893 --> 00:47:17,052
Speaker 1: We didn't met, but I would say though, we haven't

993
00:47:17,093 --> 00:47:22,493
Speaker 1: interviewed a lot of people. So this will be different

994
00:47:22,493 --> 00:47:25,373
Speaker 1: for us. And we're gonna be on the NFL set

995
00:47:26,852 --> 00:47:30,172
Speaker 1: and we'll talk more about that. I'm getting you know,

996
00:47:30,172 --> 00:47:32,372
Speaker 1: when they were describing it to me, it's exciting. But

997
00:47:32,453 --> 00:47:34,772
Speaker 1: also you know, you and I have never had a

998
00:47:34,852 --> 00:47:38,812
Speaker 1: set as anyone who can see your blurry camera or

999
00:47:38,933 --> 00:47:41,412
Speaker 1: my book stacked background.

1000
00:47:41,413 --> 00:47:43,292
Speaker 2: This is gonna be different for us.

1001
00:47:44,493 --> 00:47:46,652
Speaker 3: Yeah, but you know, I'm confident that Billy will bring

1002
00:47:46,692 --> 00:47:48,213
Speaker 3: at least one of his NFL hats.

1003
00:47:49,613 --> 00:47:50,933
Speaker 2: You know, we're gonna be dress appropriately.

1004
00:47:51,053 --> 00:47:52,932
Speaker 3: I actually, right before we hopped on here, I was

1005
00:47:52,933 --> 00:47:56,373
Speaker 3: looking at the weather forecast several weeks out getting ready

1006
00:47:56,533 --> 00:47:58,372
Speaker 3: really looking forward to it. The set will be very

1007
00:47:58,453 --> 00:48:02,533
Speaker 3: intimidating compared to what we normally have, but I cannot

1008
00:48:02,573 --> 00:48:04,492
Speaker 3: be more excited, even if it's not the two teams

1009
00:48:04,533 --> 00:48:04,973
Speaker 3: they wanted.

1010
00:48:05,252 --> 00:48:06,652
Speaker 2: We can't wait you get there.

1011
00:48:07,093 --> 00:48:10,573
Speaker 1: Yes, I agree, and I'm going to ask for former

1012
00:48:10,652 --> 00:48:17,252
Speaker 1: Seahawks legend Steve Largent, who a buddy of mine, used

1013
00:48:17,252 --> 00:48:21,212
Speaker 1: to wear his jersey to Duke law class about once

1014
00:48:21,252 --> 00:48:24,613
Speaker 1: a week, and he was like an immaculate dresser, except

1015
00:48:24,613 --> 00:48:27,133
Speaker 1: once a week he would wear a Steve Largent jersey

1016
00:48:27,372 --> 00:48:30,333
Speaker 1: long after Steve Largin and retired, and so I always

1017
00:48:30,332 --> 00:48:32,573
Speaker 1: thought that was sort of an odd thing. So I

1018
00:48:32,573 --> 00:48:34,652
Speaker 1: would like to be able to tell that to him.

1019
00:48:35,493 --> 00:48:38,372
Speaker 2: Well, former Seahawks are walking around. Marshawn Lynch is one of.

1020
00:48:38,372 --> 00:48:40,372
Speaker 3: My favorite people on the planet, so I would love

1021
00:48:40,893 --> 00:48:42,852
Speaker 3: I would love a few minutes with Marshawn Lynch.

1022
00:48:43,172 --> 00:48:45,852
Speaker 2: The Patriots. You can get the ball, He's going to

1023
00:48:45,933 --> 00:48:49,012
Speaker 2: be everywhere. That's number one on my list the people

1024
00:48:49,053 --> 00:48:49,652
Speaker 2: I want to see.

1025
00:48:49,933 --> 00:48:53,372
Speaker 4: And former MVP Sean Alexander is from Kentucky, so maybe

1026
00:48:53,372 --> 00:48:54,533
Speaker 4: you can probably get him.

1027
00:48:54,613 --> 00:48:55,292
Speaker 2: Yes, yea.

1028
00:48:55,533 --> 00:49:00,252
Speaker 1: And the guy that the jingle we've talked about before

1029
00:49:00,332 --> 00:49:03,813
Speaker 1: from Sunday Night Football, and mister Cortes Kennedy will find

1030
00:49:03,852 --> 00:49:07,453
Speaker 1: your house like he is a smart seahawk as well.

1031
00:49:08,212 --> 00:49:11,133
Speaker 2: And maybe your boy Bill Simmons will be there supports Patriots.

1032
00:49:12,533 --> 00:49:14,172
Speaker 1: I don't know what I would do if I met him.

1033
00:49:14,292 --> 00:49:16,493
Speaker 1: I think I would like to meet him, but I

1034
00:49:16,573 --> 00:49:20,332
Speaker 1: might boo him because he will be for the Patriots. Well, listen,

1035

Speaker 1: thank you all very much. If you're snowed in or
