4
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:29,480
Speaker 1: ever experienced.

5
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 2: What we saw at Cincinnati on that field Monday night

6
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:36,280
Speaker 2: was something we've never seen experienced. The emotions we saw

7
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:39,879
Speaker 2: in that field were emotions that we've never seen on

8
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:44,239
Speaker 2: a football field from guys like Josh Allen and Stefan

9
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 2: Diggs and all the guys really on the Bills, on

10
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:50,200
Speaker 2: the Bengals. What a crazy week, Mike, What a crazy week.

11
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 2: And DeMar Hamlin is not. He's not out of the

12
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 2: woods yet. We'll give you the latest in just a

13
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 2: second here, because he has made, according to the doctors,

14
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:05,120
Speaker 2: the Bills his family, significant progress. He is communicating and

15
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:07,400
Speaker 2: we'll give you the latest update here in just a second.

16
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 2: But mikey, a a week in football unlike any week.

17
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 2: And I've been watching it forty years and I.

18
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:15,200
Speaker 3: Love this thing.

19
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,039
Speaker 2: I have grown to love this thing so much, and

20
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:20,839
Speaker 2: so of many other fans obviously, and I.

21
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 3: Know you have.

22
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:26,039
Speaker 2: But a week unlike any week we've ever experienced in

23
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 2: the NFL or at any level football. It's been absolutely

24
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 2: crazy because Mike, when I tuned into that game, you

25
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:37,399
Speaker 2: know what made the weekend so interesting was it was

26
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 2: such a great football weekend with the two college games,

27
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 2: the NFL games. We were staring at what was going

28
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 2: to be a great NFL game in Cincinnati and Buffalo,

29
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 2: and everything came to a screeching halt when DeMar Hamlin

30
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 2: went down.

31
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 3: On that field.

32
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 2: And so it was a weird weekend from that regard

33
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 2: where it was almost a celebration of football right up

34
00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 2: until football and the world stop.

35
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying, The excitement from the weekend

36
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 4: we had to this big matchup on Monday night. I

37
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 4: mean we even said with Michaelllock Junior Monday when we

38
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:10,679
Speaker 4: talked with him, you know, we finally got a big

39
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 4: game on Monday night, to the utter confusion when the

40
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 4: injury happened and nobody could sort of understand what was

41
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:23,679
Speaker 4: happening to you fast forward all week. I know myself,

42
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 4: I was anytime I was near my phone, I was

43
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 4: refreshing Twitter just to see if I could get an

44
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 4: update on a player that honestly I had never heard

45
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 4: of up until this, but I felt like it was

46
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 4: it was important for me to find out what was

47
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 4: going on with him, and I think it was with everybody.

48
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 3: It was.

49
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 4: It was really jarring for fans everywhere.

50
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 2: Up un till Monday night. I was not aware that

51
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 2: could happen on a football field. And I think what

52
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 2: you're gonna find out, certainly through this episode of God

53
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 2: Bless Football and just certainly as time moves forward, is

54
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 2: the players had no idea something like this could happen.

55
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 2: And again there's a lot of information to find out.

56
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 2: Was there a pre existing condition we don't know, was

57
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 2: just called strictly by the hit and football?

58
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 3: We don't know.

59
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 2: The good thing is though he is making significant progress,

60
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 2: He is communicating and the first thing that he wrote down,

61
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 2: the first thing that he wrote down is and he

62
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:18,119
Speaker 2: gives me goosebumps. Man, it made me cry. Who won

63
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 2: the game? Who won the game? Wait until he finds

64
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 2: out there was no game, there was no winner, there

65
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 2: was no loser. And see the outpouring of love and

66
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 2: affection and money that was sent to his charity. Man

67
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 2: Like I get emotional thinking, let's get through this, and

68
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 2: hopefully he will. And it seems like he's going to

69
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 2: and again he's making significant progress.

70
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 3: That's the latest that we have.

71
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 2: But man, if there's a positive out of this, he's

72
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,839
Speaker 2: going to have a day where he realizes, oh my god,

73
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 2: the world stopped because of me, and he's going to

74
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 2: be able to see Mike just how many people love

75
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 2: and care about him. And I look forward to that day.

76
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 2: If we get to that day, and I think we

77
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 2: will based on the latest news, you know, and maybe

78
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 2: all of us as fans. Right I can't speak to

79
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 2: it from a player perspective, but hopefully we can start

80
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 2: learning about who these people are as human beings and

81
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,840
Speaker 2: care less about who they are on the football field.

82
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 2: That would be nice moving forward. I'm saying that in

83
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,480
Speaker 2: the moment. We'll see what happens as time moves forward.

84
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 2: But I think perhaps we've arrived at a place where

85
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 2: where fans will view these players not as guys on

86
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 2: their fantasy team, not as guys that can win or

87
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 2: lose them a bet, as human beings who have families,

88
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 2: who have people that care about them, who care more

89
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:44,039
Speaker 2: about things, you know, life on the field, and have

90
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 2: interest off the field.

91
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 3: Because now what you've learned about demor Hamlin is.

92
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 2: What a sweet person he is, is, what a great

93
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 2: person he is, is, how much work he does with

94
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:54,479
Speaker 2: charities off the field.

95
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 3: So continue to keep them in your prayers and your.

96
00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 2: Thoughts and hopefully we'll get positive news is here going forward.

97
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 3: No Billy this week. It's been kind of a weird week.

98
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 2: We just kind of, you know, we were waiting ce

99
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 2: mode to see what happened here with DeMar Hamlin. But

109
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 2: Simms fighting with ESPN? I mean, what do you doing?

00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,479
Speaker 5: I mean I saw that, I immediately said it to you,

00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 5: and I just said, can't wait to have Sims on.

112
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 2: I mean, here's the thing with Simms, the way he

113
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 2: sent that out on social is the way Sims talks

00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 2: this Sunday Night, Sims is not Chris Simms. I'm sorry, Okay,

115

00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:14,159
Speaker 2: are you going to?

119
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,719
Speaker 4: I think we should start with Austin Eckler. See what

120
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 4: he has to say about Damar Hamlin.

121
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:21,840
Speaker 2: If there's a fan base out there, by the way,

122
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 2: who's gonna who's gonna argue and get all upset about

123
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 2: how they're gonna do the playoffs and we don't know yet. Okay,

124
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 2: we'll discuss it throughout the episode. Go bleep yourselves.

125
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 3: Okay.

126
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 2: I don't want to hear it. Okay, I don't want

127
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 2: to hear We should have had a home field.

128
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:38,160
Speaker 3: I don't care.

129
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,839
Speaker 2: A man almost died in a football field. Okay, However,

130
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 2: the NFL needs to do it. That's how they need

131
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 2: to do it this year. And if you're one of

132
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:47,480
Speaker 2: those fan bases is gonna get upset or a fan

133
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:50,920
Speaker 2: who's gonna get upset, get over it. Okay, like, seriously,

134
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:55,599
Speaker 2: get the fuck over it. Okay, it's football, it's a game.

135
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 2: There is a man who's been a life support for

136
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,840
Speaker 2: a week playing that game. I don't care if you're

137
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:03,479
Speaker 2: a one seed and have to go on the road,

138
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 2: does it matter, don't care, don't want to hear it. Okay, Mike,

139
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 2: So let's go. Let's go to Austin Eckler. Because he's

140
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 2: a player who's been affected by this. We know he's

141
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 2: gonna be great on this topic. And to his credit,

142
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 2: he honored his weekly appearance with us and we're thankful

143
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 2: for that. So let's go to Austin Eckler.

144
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 6: First.

145
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 7: Hey, I appreciate you guys promoting the app for me.

146
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 7: I had a actually was checking out the app store

147
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 7: the other day. I had a few people, like five

148
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 7: or six people that were that left the review for

149
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 7: me on the app store.

150
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 2: I got to be honest, if that's where we're gonna start,

151
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 2: that's where we're gonna start. I'm insulted it's only five

152
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 2: or six. So I'm gonna ask our audience to do better.

153
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 2: Do better for Austin Eckler, because Austin Eckler gives us

154
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:46,559
Speaker 2: a great not a good a great twenty to thirty

155
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 2: minutes every single week on God bless football. So this

156
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 2: is not Austin saying it, it's me saying it. Audience,

157
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 2: do better, let's go.

158
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 3: Well.

159
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 7: I was thankful for those that did, though I don't

160
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 7: see how they did.

161
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 3: Okay, but I want more for you, okay, bank you Austin.

162
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 2: Let's start the most in the most obvious place, like

163
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 2: take us, Take us through where you were and what

164
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 2: was going through your mind, uh when you saw what

165
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 2: happened uh on that field to to uh to more

166
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 2: Hamlin uh in Cincinnati.

167
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 3: Kind of what were you thinking if you could take them? Yeah?

168
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 7: You know, I was watching the Monday night game with

169
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 7: my with my family and kind of saw it all

170
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 7: start unfolding itself and didn't kind of like everyone else,

171
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 7: didn't really know the severity of it until it started

172
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 7: going on, until you know, everyone started clearing the benches

173
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 7: and it gathering in the middle, and then obviously that

174
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 7: you know, was the scenario that it was. And so

175
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 7: I think what it really showed and what I really

176
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 7: learned from that is that you know, the NFL, we

177
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 7: have you know, a lot of different opinions about teams

178
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 7: and players, and and everything like that, but how connected

179
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 7: that we were, you know around this this one person

180
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 7: who had gone through traumatic and it's still going battling

181
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 7: back from a traumatic injury, you know, making progress as

182
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 7: we can see in the media, which is amazing. But

183
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 7: it just showed how connected that you know, sports can

184
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 7: make us. And I thought that was really special and

185
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:16,239
Speaker 7: I think it's a good reminder and a good example

186
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,559
Speaker 7: of why this is so important in our lives. And

187
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:22,839
Speaker 7: you know, the the connectivity between all of us, you know,

188
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 7: when it comes down to being just just humans in general.

189
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:28,720
Speaker 7: So that's where I was. The message that I really

190
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 7: got from that was, Yeah, the connectivity because for a

191
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 7: moment there was like nothing really else mattered. Like I

192
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 7: knew they weren't going to finish the game. I was

193
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:40,960
Speaker 7: talking to the other you know, executives of the NFL

194
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 7: PA It's like, no way this game goes through. And yeah,

195
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 7: for a moment, it was just like, hey, we care

196
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 7: about this person as a person, making sure they're ready

197
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:51,560
Speaker 7: to go and they can you know, get back on

198
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:53,680
Speaker 7: their feet and get back in the good health. And

199
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 7: I also showed how ready we are, you know as

200
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:59,560
Speaker 7: an NFL you know from the PA side and within

201
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 7: the act ownership side for things like this, you know,

202
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 7: this is probably one of the worst things that could

203
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 7: possibly happen, and we were ready to go, and this

204
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 7: man's life was saved because of it. So shout out

205
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 7: to the NFL and shout out to the PA for

206
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:16,200
Speaker 7: being ready for those instances as well. Did it scare you, Yeah, absolutely,

207
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 7: absolutely scared me because you know, you know, you never

208
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:21,440
Speaker 7: want to see injury, but you know, usually nothing's to

209
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:24,680
Speaker 7: that magnitude, and so when something is like that that's

210
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:28,199
Speaker 7: never happened before happens, it's definitely frightening from a sense

211
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:29,440
Speaker 7: for that person's life.

212
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 3: Absolutely, were you aware that could happen on a football field?

213
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 7: Like I had no idea that injury is impossible right

214
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 7: where like you get hit in a certain rhythm of

215
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 7: your heart and then it like puts it into, you know,

216
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,200
Speaker 7: something that's irregular and stops, Like I didn't know that

217
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:45,679
Speaker 7: was the thing.

218
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:49,320
Speaker 2: It's weird because I'm not certain if the NFL, like

219
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 2: I don't know if they knew it. I'm not sure.

220
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 2: If they did know it, they should probably make you

221
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 2: guys aware. But it's never happened in the history of football.

222
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 7: They are aware of it. We learned that actually after

223
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 7: listening to what our medical staff has to go through.

224
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 7: They trained for four really four like severe instances that

225
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:07,439
Speaker 7: could happen, and that was one of them where someone

226
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:09,840
Speaker 7: gets hit in the chest during that time, because apparently

227
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 7: it's it's not common, it's very it's very rare, but

228
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 7: it's one of those that you if you're on it

229
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 7: right away, you can potentially save that person's life. And

230
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 7: that's exactly what you know went down. You know, all

231
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 7: this protocols kicked in and we're executed perfectly and saved

232
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 7: this man.

233
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 2: It seems like, if anything, you're not concerned. You're comforted

234
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 2: by the fact that that they have the right personnel

235
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 2: and the right equipment on the field ready to go right.

236
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:33,440
Speaker 7: Right, And we know we're in a combat sport. We

237
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 7: know injuries are definitely going to be, you know, a

238
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 7: part of this game.

239
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:37,960
Speaker 2: And so that's that's that though, and that that's that

240
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:39,560
Speaker 2: was a little bit different for all of us, even

241
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 2: for fans.

242
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 6: Man.

243
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:43,320
Speaker 7: Yeah, and that's exactly why we have the personnel that

244
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 7: we have for the where it's like, okay, we need

245
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,439
Speaker 7: someone to save your life right now, right right now.

246
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:50,559
Speaker 7: On the field, and that's not like you said, it's

247
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 7: never happened, and you know, but we it's like insurance, right,

248
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:54,720
Speaker 7: you never want to have it, but you know we

249
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 7: we have it there for ourselves just in case something

250
00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 7: does happen like that and we were on top of it.

251
00:11:59,000 --> 00:11:59,599
Speaker 3: I'll get off of this.

252
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:01,320
Speaker 2: It's like, do you feel like you should have known,

253
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 2: like they should have like someone should have informed you, or.

254
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:07,559
Speaker 7: Like not necessarily just because it's extremely rare. So I

255
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:08,440
Speaker 7: don't know.

256
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 2: You brought up a great point the way everyone kind

257
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 2: of galvanized and came together. And I think it will,

258
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 2: like it humanizes you guys like like, and I think

259
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 2: it will moving forward where fans are going to care

260
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 2: more about you as people, you know what I'm saying.

261
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 2: And I think, yeah, so no, and they should if

262
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:28,080
Speaker 2: there's anything good to come.

263
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:28,440
Speaker 3: Out of this.

264
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 2: But I do look forward to this, And I'm wondering

265
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 2: your perspective on this because hopefully, and you're right, he's

266
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 2: still fighting, but he's going to come out of this

267
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 2: and see the outpouring of of of affection and love.

268
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:42,320
Speaker 2: Like I know he wrote down who won the game,

269
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:44,560
Speaker 2: which gives me goosebumps. By the way who won the

270
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 2: game gives me goosebumps. But hopefully when he comes out

271
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 2: of this, he will see the outpouring of love and

272
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 2: affection and donations to his to his charity that I

273
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:56,960
Speaker 2: think are going to make him feel feel really really

274
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 2: good about about Yeah.

275
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 7: He should. You know, there's a lot of people that

276
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 7: care about them and are showing that, you know, in

277
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:05,840
Speaker 7: different types of ways, you know, and you know rightfully,

278
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 7: so you know, we have a lot that a lot

279
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:11,960
Speaker 7: of people get some type of satisfaction or some type

280
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,440
Speaker 7: of value from this game that we play. And so

281
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 7: the players that are out here doing it and you know,

282
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 7: sacrifice in our bodies, you know, I think, for one,

283
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:23,720
Speaker 7: for multiple reasons, deserve a ton of support. And that

284
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 7: looks like that's different for everybody. Everyone's different as far

285
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 7: as what you can do, how much you're involved, how

286
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 7: much it affects you. But there's a reason why the

287
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:35,080
Speaker 7: NFL is so popular, and it's because we can add

288
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 7: so much value to people's lives. And so when one

289
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:40,199
Speaker 7: of our guys goes down, that affects not just the

290
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:42,679
Speaker 7: football community. But obviously as we saw you know what

291
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,839
Speaker 7: you said with the donations, it affects the entire community, right,

292
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:47,679
Speaker 7: all the fan base, all of us.

293
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 2: Do you even care about the playoff scenarios and how

294
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 2: the NFL figures it out and does it like that?

295
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 7: I don't care at all, honestly, you know, I kind

296
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:58,559
Speaker 7: of became numb to it after COVID. It's like, whatever

297
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 7: happens happens. We can only can trol so much, just

298
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:02,560
Speaker 7: trying to win as many games as we can.

299
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're gonna sit here and tell us you played

300
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 2: poorly last week, aren't you.

301
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 3: You're gonna do that, right, me and Mike laughing earlier,

302
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 3: like he's gonna do this.

303
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 2: Guy where he ten carries one hundred and twenty yards

304
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 2: or something like that.

305
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:14,559
Speaker 3: Two touchdowns.

306
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 7: There was one thing I tried to get a spin move,

307
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 7: and I kind of fell down a little bit. I

308
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 7: think that was one that I wanted back where I

309
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 7: needed to land that spin move. Other than that, but

310
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 7: I would say I played well last week, Yes, with

311
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 7: the opportunities that I had.

312
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 2: Yes, Hey, congratulations on finally playing wow eight.

313
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 3: Touchdowns later for once, Yes, for one time.

314
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 2: Finally, you would say your team's peaking at the right time, right,

315
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 2: like this is this is the Chargers playing at like,

316
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 2: this is the best you guys have played all season.

317
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 7: And you said it, you know, hit the nail and

318
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 7: the head. We're peaking at the right time. But it's

319
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 7: because we're getting we're getting guys back and they're getting

320
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 7: to a rhythm. And you know what, when you have

321
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 7: these guys you're paying ten twenty thirty, you know whatever

322
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 7: million dollars, Like there's a reason they're beginning paid that

323
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 7: much because they're they can play at a very high

324
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 7: level consistently. And when you don't have those guys on

325
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:07,480
Speaker 7: the field, it absolutely affects the team. It absolutely affects

326
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 7: your your ability to make plays. And so we were

327
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 7: seeing a bunch of big plays that we didn't used

328
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 7: to have in the past that are being made because

329
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 7: we're getting some of our guys back, and so it's

330
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 7: the perfect timing going into playoffs.

331
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 2: You got your eyes set on twenty though, don't you

332
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:19,960
Speaker 2: like you got you got your.

333
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 7: I mean, if we get there, it would be nice, yes,

334
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 7: because I'm so close. I'm flipping. I'm pissed in myself

335
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 7: because the first three weeks I had zero touchdowns, so

336
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 7: I should have already been there. But you know, how

337
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 7: it is. You know, it's it's up and downs the NFL.

338
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 7: Anything can happen, So we'll see, we'll see.

339
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 2: Wait, so so just on them he's eighteen of coming

340
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 2: like fourteen games, like, yeah, I could make a case

341
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 2: for you being the MVP.

342
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 7: Good, good, my good MVP, but not Pro Bowl.

343
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 3: Oh my god.

344
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 2: So so just kind of going back to to to

345
00:15:55,920 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 2: Monday night real quick. What's been the discussion amongst the

346
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 2: players and the coaches within the Chargers organization?

347
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 3: Have you guys discussed this much?

348
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 7: I'm certain Yeah, I think everyone, every team's probably discussing this.

349
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 7: And for us as the Charges, really just passing information

350
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 7: that we know, like what's the information that's there that

351
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 7: you know, not just about you know, his health, but

352
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 7: about like the protocol, Like how was how are the

353
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 7: doctors handling it? Was that procedure done well? Is are

354
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 7: things now that we can learn from this going back

355
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 7: and watching the tape from the moment he fell, to

356
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 7: the moment that there was people around him, to the

357
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 7: moment you know he was going through the treatment to

358
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:34,880
Speaker 7: get back you get his heart rate back. So it's

359
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 7: really a learning and information pass and as long we've

360
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:40,320
Speaker 7: been doing that and then obviously just you know, there's

361
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 7: a lot of support around, you know, the mental health

362
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 7: side of this. You know, this is traumatic and we

363
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 7: all handle these situations differently. Sometimes it doesn't hit us

364
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 7: at all. Sometimes it hits you right away. Sometimes it's delayed,

365
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 7: you know, as far as the emotional side of it,

366
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 7: and so we've had, you know, tons of support from

367
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 7: our staff.

368
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 3: How about your family, what was their their reactions?

369
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 7: Yeah, my mom, my, mom. I started crying and she's

370
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:04,160
Speaker 7: she's watching this. She's watching you know, someone's son out there,

371
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:07,119
Speaker 7: you know, going through this traumatic you know, injury of

372
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:10,359
Speaker 7: playing the sport that I've played forever. So absolutely that

373
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 7: affected her, and so eventually I just I just turned

374
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:15,719
Speaker 7: it off because I didn't want her to keep listening

375
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 7: and watching and get her in a state of mind

376
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 7: where she now is terrified for my life on the

377
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:24,119
Speaker 7: field and things like that where it's like this is

378
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 7: extremely rare, you know, all of this happening again, are

379
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 7: very very very low, And so I was like, okay, Mom,

380
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 7: like like, okay, let's move on from that. But yeah,

381
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:36,400
Speaker 7: she's definitely concerned, as we all were.

382
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, listen, but you're good though, right Because I said

383
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 2: you start doing something with someone every single week and

384
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 2: you you know, I don't know, how do you feel

385
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:47,639
Speaker 2: about it? But friendships I care about you is what

386
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 2: I'm trying to say. You're good, No, I really do, man,

387
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:53,440
Speaker 2: And so you're good moving forward here right Like you're

388
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 2: you're comfortable, You're not nervous out there.

389
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 3: You're gonna play the same style you feel. Never comforted.

390
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:03,119
Speaker 7: I never never crossed my mind that everythinking playing like

391
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 7: absolutely I want to. And I had this asked before,

392
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 7: and it's like, you go out there understanding that there's

393
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:11,199
Speaker 7: a tremendous amount of risk that you're taking, but especially

394
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:15,440
Speaker 7: at the NFL level, just the substance and the ad

395
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:19,199
Speaker 7: of value to your life is so immense, you know,

396
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:22,920
Speaker 7: as far as the monetary obviously, but then the culture,

397
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 7: you know, the brotherhood. There's just so much substance that's

398
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 7: added as far as life experiences that I justify that

399
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 7: this game is definitely worth going out there and play,

400
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 7: even though I might have right now in the future

401
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 7: some you know, long term repercussions that I'll probably have

402
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:37,719
Speaker 7: to suffer for.

403
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:40,640
Speaker 2: You know, it's interesting because Jason Taylor talked about having

404
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,680
Speaker 2: a pick line. You know, when sleeping on a staircase

405
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 2: because he was so uncomfortable he couldn't sleep on the bed.

406
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,320
Speaker 2: And the thing detort, all shots and all the stuff

407
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:50,960
Speaker 2: that he went through just to get himself ready for

408
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 2: the next Sunday. The Monday through Saturday is basically what

409
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 2: he took us through and how brutal it was. And

410
00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 2: yet when we asked him, would you do it all

411
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 2: over again, he didn't hesitate.

412
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:04,160
Speaker 7: It's yep, yeah, I go through the same thing after

413
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 7: every game. I can never sleep. It's especially the night

414
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:10,360
Speaker 7: games because like my body, like you can't get comfortable

415
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:13,200
Speaker 7: because it's like, oh I'm sore there, sore there, sore there,

416
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 7: sore there, like my back, my net, you know all

417
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:18,359
Speaker 7: the stuff. And so it's absolutely a brutal game. But

418
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:22,400
Speaker 7: like I said, the rewards of just living that lifestyle

419
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 7: and all the benefits that come from that, the community, financials,

420
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 7: just the substance, the brotherhood. Like I mentioned, man, it's

421
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 7: it's unbeatables. I've never experienced anything like this anywhere else.

422
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 3: Mikey's got something for you. But I just want to

423
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 3: be clear here.

424
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,840
Speaker 2: Yes, Jason Taylor told us he found more comfort sleeping

425
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 2: on a staircase than he did in.

426
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 3: A mattress, like he just had to find a comfortable place.

427
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:45,199
Speaker 7: Doesn't a rather hit the right points right, the right

428
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 7: pressure point.

429
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 2: What you guys do is crazy, man, it really is.

430
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:52,240
Speaker 2: But I also think in a weird way, that's what

431
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:55,240
Speaker 2: I was trying to allude was alluding to before. I

432
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 2: think through this, fans might view you guys differently, not

433
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 2: as fantasy players, not as that.

434
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:03,720
Speaker 3: It's going to be interesting to see the fan.

435
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:06,359
Speaker 2: Player relationship because I think it's going to grow in

436
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 2: a positive direction, and I know you want that to

437
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 2: happen regardless, you know.

438
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean the more we can grow together and

439
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:16,680
Speaker 7: the more that we can you know, I guess relate

440
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 7: to each other, I think, the better off we're going

441
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 7: to be, you know. Like that's why I share so

442
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:24,120
Speaker 7: much of my story. You know, people see a finished

443
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 7: product when they talk to me or learn about me,

444
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:28,639
Speaker 7: like right now. But you didn't realize that the reason

445
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:30,240
Speaker 7: I've gotten to this point and have so many things

446
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 7: going on for myself is because I was just being

447
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:35,200
Speaker 7: consistent and trying to progress for myself. Like I am,

448
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:37,359
Speaker 7: I am, I have the same not saying but I

449
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 7: have a lot of similar opportunities that people other people do.

450
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 7: It's not like some some magic or some you know,

451
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:46,919
Speaker 7: crazy thing that happened that mat got me here. It's like,

452
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 7: straight up just a bunch of simple things that I

453
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:52,399
Speaker 7: was able to continue to stay consistent on it and

454
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:54,159
Speaker 7: maybe a little bit of luck. Right, But it's like,

455
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:56,879
Speaker 7: it doesn't mean that it's impossible for you to grow

456
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 7: to a pretty far point in your career and in

457
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:02,680
Speaker 7: your life life. And so I think that's the reason

458
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:04,359
Speaker 7: we should I think that's one of the best reasons

459
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:07,640
Speaker 7: to relate is because it puts things in perspective that

460
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 7: you can feel like you can relate to. It's like,

461
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 7: oh yeah, like you're working towards this. Like I got

462
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:13,680
Speaker 7: on a video call the other day. This kid was

463
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 7: he was working at Walmart, and I was like, that's amazing.

464
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:18,119
Speaker 7: Like you're setting yourself up right now. This is a

465
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 7: temporary job. You understand that, but you need this opportunity

Speaker 2: Doubt about it. And by the way, we we should

582
00:25:57,240 --> 00:26:02,159
Speaker 2: mention because this is dom donated the news cycle, not

583
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:05,080
Speaker 2: just sports. It has dominated the news cycle this week

584
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:10,159
Speaker 2: that the moment we're taping this, there has been some

585
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:14,840
Speaker 2: updates here on DeMar Hamlin and the statuses he's making

586
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:21,080

Speaker 2: since all things bring a smile to your face, I

588
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:26,760

589
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:29,040
Speaker 3: And some relief as well, right, no question.

590
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:32,960
Speaker 9: I think that's the news that we've been patiently waiting for,

591
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:36,480
Speaker 9: you know, some type of positivity coming from what happened

592
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:40,199
Speaker 9: Monday night, and any little positive news is big, I

593
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:42,439
Speaker 9: think for all of us, you know, in regards to

594
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:47,879
Speaker 9: his progress, most importantly in regards to his ability to

595
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:50,120
Speaker 9: be here on earth still, you know what I mean.

596
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:53,000
Speaker 8: So everything else's second nature.

597
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:55,399
Speaker 9: In regards to playing football, in regards to his career

598
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 9: is all about you know, his health, his well being

599
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:01,160
Speaker 9: and just being able to continue to take step by

600
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:04,479
Speaker 9: step daily. And I think what you just informed all

601
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 9: of us is something that we've been waiting to hear,

602
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:09,160
Speaker 9: and we we got to continue to pray for him

603
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:10,840
Speaker 9: and give things at the same time.

604
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 2: So you know, it's going to be really really interesting

605
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:16,800
Speaker 2: and cool if he comes out of this. And we

606
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:19,160
Speaker 2: should still say if, because he's still fighting in there,

607
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:22,359
Speaker 2: and Brian's right, we should still be praying. The family

608
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:25,840
Speaker 2: has requested that we that he remains in our prayers,

609
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 2: and he will remain in our prayers. But if he

610
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:32,920
Speaker 2: comes out of this, hopefully when he comes out of this,

611
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 2: for him to see the outpouring of love and affection

612
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:37,520
Speaker 2: is going to be a really cool thing for him

613
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 2: to say, you know.

614
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:39,760
Speaker 8: No question, no question.

615
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:43,639
Speaker 9: And I think the unique thing is it's not just

616
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:47,560
Speaker 9: about the outpour in love coming from the football world, yes,

617
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 9: but other sports as well.

618
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:50,320
Speaker 8: Yeah, that's huge.

619
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:53,560
Speaker 3: Yeah. And fans yeah, and the fans.

620
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:56,159
Speaker 2: Put us where you were if you don't mind, Brian,

621
00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:58,520
Speaker 2: Can you put us You played in the in the

622
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:00,760
Speaker 2: league for many years, played for the you want you

623
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:03,880
Speaker 2: Super Bowls? Can you put us where you were? Kind

624
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:05,720
Speaker 2: of what you were thinking? Put us inside your head

625
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:06,840
Speaker 2: as you saw that unfold.

626
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:07,320
Speaker 8: Yo.

627
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 9: Initially I saw the tackle and when he made the tackle,

628
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 9: I removed my eyes from the television because I was

629
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:20,960
Speaker 9: doing something. And then I heard they said handling is down, yeah,

630
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:22,200
Speaker 9: and I'm like, well, dad, and they look like a

631
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:22,760
Speaker 9: regular hit.

632
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:25,119
Speaker 8: Then they should replaced the play.

633
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:28,640
Speaker 9: And then I really watched it and I'm like, well, initially,

634
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:30,080
Speaker 9: when I heard he was down, I'm thinking, well, he

635
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:32,480
Speaker 9: might have got a little dazed you know, watching football,

636
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:33,760
Speaker 9: being a part of the game and just being a

637
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:35,120
Speaker 9: part of it as a fan. You know, when someone

638
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:38,000
Speaker 9: is little concussed, a little disorienting a little bit. But

639
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:39,720
Speaker 9: when I saw the play the tackle, I'm like, he

640
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 9: didn't it was no hit to hit contact, so something

641
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:47,240
Speaker 9: else is going on. And instantly I became super concerned

642
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 9: because if it was head to hit contact, you can

643
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:54,560
Speaker 9: kind of understand why someone might collapse because the little disney.

644
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:57,840
Speaker 9: You know, if I've been dizzy a thousand times playing

645
00:28:57,840 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 9: the game, it feels like and I know that feeling

646
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:01,680
Speaker 9: when things get a little disoriented and you just kind

647
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 9: of feel like you're going to collapse.

648
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:04,720
Speaker 8: But because there was no.

649
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:08,200
Speaker 9: Hit to hit contact, I instantly became concerned because there

650
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 9: was a blow to his chest. And then when I

651
00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 9: heard they were administrating CPR, Yeah, I went to full

652
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:18,800
Speaker 9: concern scared mode like everyone else.

653
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:23,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, Brian, were you aware, Like I'm just wondering, do teams.

654
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 3: Does the NFL doctors?

655
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 2: Were you aware that something like that could happen on

656
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:28,120
Speaker 2: an NFL football field?

657
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:28,920
Speaker 6: Nah?

658
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 2: No, So like no one's ever told like doctors or

659
00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 2: a team that never said, hey, this could potentially as

660
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 2: remote as of a chance of it happening, is this

661
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:42,640
Speaker 2: could potentially happen to you if you get hit at.

662
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:45,560
Speaker 3: The wrong time and the wrong place. You didn't know that, huh.

663
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 9: Nah nah, what he sustained this past Monday night, I

664
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 9: was not aware of. Now, let's you know, I've been

665
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 9: removed from the game since twenty eleven, that was my

666
00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:01,360
Speaker 9: last season, So I don't know the protocol protocols in

667
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:04,280
Speaker 9: regards to the medical staff coming in and talking to

668
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:07,760
Speaker 9: guys before this season of things to look for in

669
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:13,120
Speaker 9: regards to concussions and other uh situations. But I know

670
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 9: when I played no and it seemed to be that

671
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 9: was a surprise for everyone that was kind of associated

672
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:21,760
Speaker 9: with the game, either directly or indirectly.

673
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:23,959
Speaker 8: We were so surprised to see something like that happened.

674
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:28,320
Speaker 9: I think also because of you know, usually when you

675
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 9: go through things, tragic like things, it's a learning experience,

676
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:36,800
Speaker 9: you know, So now you can learn from the unfortunate

677
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:40,480
Speaker 9: situation to kind of better yourself and better equip yourself

678
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:44,240
Speaker 9: for if this was to happen again, you know. But

679
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 9: I would say this, those two I think medically they

680
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:51,400
Speaker 9: did a great job and get into him as fast

681
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:55,280
Speaker 9: as they as they did, because if you think about a.

682
00:30:55,280 --> 00:31:01,720
Speaker 8: Minute late, who knows, no, No, they were on point.

683
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:04,320
Speaker 2: They have all the doctors that you would want at

684
00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:06,600
Speaker 2: the field, they have all the equipment that you would

685
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:08,960
Speaker 2: need at that field to act the way they acted,

686
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:11,800
Speaker 2: and the doctors have done a tremendous job. I guess

687
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:15,200
Speaker 2: the problem is for me, Briant, is that that could

688
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:17,560
Speaker 2: actually happen during a football game. I was not aware

689
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:19,640
Speaker 2: of it. I've never seen it before. I don't like

690
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:21,440
Speaker 2: the fact that you weren't aware of it when you

691
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:26,160
Speaker 2: were playing. And maybe you're right, maybe current players are

692
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:29,480
Speaker 2: made aware of it. I know the doctors practice emergency

693
00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:33,120
Speaker 2: situations ninety minutes before every single football game. Well, let

694
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:35,120
Speaker 2: me ask you this way, if you were armed with

695
00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:39,000
Speaker 2: that information, would you have still played? Meeting Brant. There's

696
00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:42,040
Speaker 2: a very small chance. They played football for seventy years

697
00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:44,720
Speaker 2: this has never happened. But if you get hit wrong place,

698
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:48,880
Speaker 2: wrong time, this could potentially happen. Would that would that

699
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:51,120
Speaker 2: have changed your thought process in terms of playing football

700
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:51,440
Speaker 2: at all?

701
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:55,240
Speaker 9: No, it wouldn't change my thought process because when I

702
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:58,120
Speaker 9: have a talent like I had in playing the game

703
00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:02,120
Speaker 9: of football, got to exercize that talent, you can change

704
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:05,600
Speaker 9: the demographics of my life people who I'm associated with.

705
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:09,720
Speaker 9: But also knowing that, I'll say this, I would attack

706
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:16,000
Speaker 9: tackling differently. There, you go, right, I would approach tackling

707
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:19,080
Speaker 9: someone differently in trying to not just tackle that guy,

708
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 9: but also protect myself because that was a routine tackle.

709
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:25,680
Speaker 9: It wasn't something that he did that wasn't a part

710
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:29,240
Speaker 9: of the game legally, it was all within the rules.

711
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:33,200
Speaker 2: Yes, that's a play you see dozens of times per game,

712
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:34,440
Speaker 2: per game.

713
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:37,200
Speaker 3: Brian, So you're right, it's a fairly common play, which

714
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:39,120
Speaker 3: is what was shocking, I think and jarring to all

715
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 3: of us.

716
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:42,360
Speaker 4: Go ahead, Mike, Yeah, you just said it was just

717
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:44,920
Speaker 4: such a routine play. And you know, we've seen all

718
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:47,560
Speaker 4: the head injuries in the NFL is trying to sort

719
00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 4: of change the rules to stop the head and the

720
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:53,760
Speaker 4: neck injuries. But I mean, you don't get much more

721
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:57,840
Speaker 4: of a common tackle than what happened there. What kind

722
00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:00,600
Speaker 4: of reaction do you see the NFL having trying to

723
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:02,560
Speaker 4: prevent something like this from happening again.

724
00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:04,440
Speaker 8: You know, that's a good question.

725
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:08,560
Speaker 9: I think from the standpoint of the NFL just trying

726
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:15,040
Speaker 9: to prevent this from being a reoccurring thing. I think

727
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:18,000
Speaker 9: what I would do is I would test every current

728
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:20,440
Speaker 9: player in the offseason heart wise.

729
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:25,560
Speaker 2: Yes, pre existing conditions, yes, yes, saying that's the case here,

730
00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:28,960
Speaker 2: there may have been no pre existing condition. If that's

731
00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:31,200
Speaker 2: not the case, it's really bad because football did this

732
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:31,600
Speaker 2: to them.

733
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:35,960
Speaker 9: Yeah so, but as you mentioned, something that pre exists

734
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:39,040
Speaker 9: in regards to your heart, in regards to your valves.

735
00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:43,160
Speaker 9: Just making sure everything is normal as as it's supposed

736
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:45,680
Speaker 9: to be. One thing we know about the game of football, guys,

737
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 9: you can try to police the collisions, the violence that

738
00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:51,560
Speaker 9: goes into the game, but there's only so much you

739
00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:51,880
Speaker 9: can do.

740
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:54,400
Speaker 8: Like that was a routine play. He did what he

741
00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:55,040
Speaker 8: was supposed to do.

742
00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 9: And I understand people are jumping on t Higgins with

743
00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:58,720
Speaker 9: t Higgins supposed to protect himselves as well.

744
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:03,520
Speaker 2: Yep, can't jump on T Higgins. One of the first

745
00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:05,600
Speaker 2: things that popped into my mind was how awful I

746
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 2: felt for T Higgins that he has to sit with that,

747
00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:09,600
Speaker 2: live with that, knowing that.

748
00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:11,560
Speaker 3: He was he contributed to that.

749
00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:14,160
Speaker 2: He didn't mean to, obviously, but to get mad at

750
00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:16,520
Speaker 2: t Higgins is patently absurd.

751
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:19,040
Speaker 9: I agree so that would be something I think the

752
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:21,480
Speaker 9: NFL should invest in doing in the offseason.

753
00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:22,880
Speaker 8: Man, Let's test every.

754
00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:26,120
Speaker 9: Player that's a part of her team, right, whoever is

755
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:28,520
Speaker 9: the part of a team, Let's test them internally.

756
00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:30,560
Speaker 8: Let's make sure they're organs. Let's make sure the heart.

757
00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:32,399
Speaker 9: Let's make sure the valves that attached to the heart

758
00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 9: that they're doing what they're supposed to do. Because a

759
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:39,480
Speaker 9: lot of guys may have some pre existing conditions that we're.

760
00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:39,960
Speaker 8: Not aware of.

761
00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:43,120
Speaker 9: But we're going out playing a very very intense game,

762
00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:46,200
Speaker 9: and like you said, we don't know if that triggered

763
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:47,440
Speaker 9: anything with hamdling.

764
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:49,759
Speaker 8: We don't know, but I think just trying to be.

765
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:52,880
Speaker 9: As cautious as possible is the right thing to do

766
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:53,720
Speaker 9: moving forward.

767
00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:56,480
Speaker 3: Are you a bit like this is so fascinating?

768
00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:59,200
Speaker 2: Man, I'm wondering, are you Is there any part of

769
00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:01,640
Speaker 2: you angry that you didn't know that could potentially happen,

770
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:03,520
Speaker 2: that no one alerted you to the fact that, hey,

771
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:05,040
Speaker 2: this could potentially happen.

772
00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:09,800
Speaker 8: Now, I'm not angry because we've never seen that happen

773
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:12,200
Speaker 8: before it happened, right, So.

774
00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:15,160
Speaker 9: I can't be mad that I wasn't informed of something

775
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:16,400
Speaker 9: that never happened before.

776
00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:18,000
Speaker 8: Now, this happened years.

777
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:20,640
Speaker 9: Ago, you know, forty years ago, fifty years ago, whatever

778
00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:21,359
Speaker 9: the case may be.

779
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:22,880
Speaker 8: Twenty years ago.

780
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:26,120
Speaker 9: Now that's an issue because we've seen this something similar

781
00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:26,840
Speaker 9: to this before.

782
00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:28,440
Speaker 8: You No, we've seen players.

783
00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:32,480
Speaker 9: Die, you know, unfortunately, you know, doing something football related.

784
00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:35,600
Speaker 9: You know, players dying in the off season because of

785
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:37,360
Speaker 9: a heat stroke overheating themselves.

786
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:38,040
Speaker 8: We know about that.

787
00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:39,960
Speaker 9: So now we kind of know how to attack when

788
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:42,560
Speaker 9: we're training in the off season in regards to hydrating

789
00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:45,759
Speaker 9: and not overdoing it. But we've never seen something like this.

790
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:48,960
Speaker 9: So for me, no, I'm not angry. I think this

791
00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:52,720
Speaker 9: is a learning tool for all of us, even watchers

792
00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:54,719
Speaker 9: are the game and guys who are currently participating in

793
00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:57,480
Speaker 9: the game and knowing that, yeah, this could happen. So

794
00:35:57,560 --> 00:36:00,480
Speaker 9: how can we try to police this moving forward?

795
00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:04,399
Speaker 2: Again, Let's be very clear here, Damar Hamlin has shown

796
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:08,320
Speaker 2: remarkable improvement according to sources, according to the Bills, according

797
00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:12,239
Speaker 2: to his family, and we'll continue to keep him in

798
00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:12,920
Speaker 2: our prayer.

799
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:15,440
Speaker 3: Such a horrific story.

800
00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:17,520
Speaker 2: That that all of us have have had to deal

801
00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:19,160
Speaker 2: with throughout the week.

802
00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:21,440
Speaker 3: What do you make of the decision to cancel the

803
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:22,960
Speaker 3: game that was obvious, right.

804
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:24,120
Speaker 8: Right thing to do.

805
00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:26,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, you can't act.

806
00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:29,480
Speaker 9: Both sides to try to play this ball game anytime

807
00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:31,880
Speaker 9: during this week not knowing the status.

808
00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:32,359
Speaker 3: Yep.

809
00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:34,440
Speaker 2: Do they have to play the game though, Brian, do

810
00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:35,680
Speaker 2: you think they have to play the game?

811
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:40,000
Speaker 9: I don't think so. It changes too much, It changes

812
00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:43,640
Speaker 9: too much. Let's keep it as neutral or as a tie.

813
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:45,000
Speaker 9: Both teams are in the playoff.

814
00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:45,120
Speaker 6: Now.

815
00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:48,280
Speaker 9: I say this to if both teams needed that ballgame

816
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:49,759
Speaker 9: they get into the playoffs, you got to find a

817
00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:50,399
Speaker 9: way to play it.

818
00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:52,920
Speaker 8: Sure, you would have to find a way to play that.

819
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:53,719
Speaker 3: But this is a matter.

820
00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:56,359
Speaker 2: This is a matter of seeding, playing at home, playing

821
00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:58,240
Speaker 2: an extra game of the road. And let's be honest,

822
00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:00,760
Speaker 2: neither of those quarterbacks care like they don't care if they.

823
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:03,120
Speaker 3: Have to play at home or go on the road. Yep. Interesting.

824
00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:07,840
Speaker 2: Brian McFadden with us a friend, football analyst for CBS

825
00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:13,440
Speaker 2: Sports hqbe All Things Covered podcasts with Patrick Peterson as well.

826
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:14,480
Speaker 3: McFadden.

827
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:16,479
Speaker 2: By the way, that second Super Bowl you talked about

828
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:19,520
Speaker 2: when you're the two seed, Yeah, things broke correctly for you.

829
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:21,600
Speaker 2: The Jets had to come to you. And don't think

830
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:24,240
Speaker 2: like me and Mikey, we love you, your friend of mine.

831
00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:27,279
Speaker 2: I don't think about it every single day. Okay, I

832
00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:29,160
Speaker 2: mean you kept my Jets from getting to a super Bowl.

833
00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:33,080
Speaker 9: Man that hold on, No, no, no, no, no, that was that's

834
00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:35,279
Speaker 9: that's the wrong year. That's the wrong year we went

835
00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:36,560
Speaker 9: to the super Bowl. I went to the super Bowl

836
00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:39,080
Speaker 9: three years. The third year is when the Jets came

837
00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:43,759
Speaker 9: to us. The second year as we played Buffalo. Yes, yes,

838
00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:45,960
Speaker 9: so I don't count the super Bowl I went to

839
00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:46,479
Speaker 9: that I lost.

840
00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:47,120
Speaker 8: I don't count that.

841
00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:51,520
Speaker 3: You don't count it as one, but I don't count.

842
00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:52,799
Speaker 8: It as me. I don't count it as me playing

843
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:53,600
Speaker 8: the three super Bowls.

844
00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:55,800
Speaker 3: Okay, really he doesn't counted.

845
00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:58,080
Speaker 4: It would have been the biggest thing in our lives.

846
00:37:58,560 --> 00:37:59,239
Speaker 8: Just getting to it.

847
00:37:59,320 --> 00:37:59,440
Speaker 5: Right.

848
00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:01,920
Speaker 3: Wait, so you've erased that day from your memory, from

849
00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:02,440
Speaker 3: your resume?

850
00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:05,040
Speaker 8: Lost? Yeah, that's why I told you.

851
00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:09,480
Speaker 9: Remember when I was explaining my experiences, I said, I

852
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:10,200
Speaker 9: only gave you two.

853
00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:12,200
Speaker 8: I only gave you two.

854
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:14,160
Speaker 9: So the one you're talking about in regards to the

855
00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:16,680
Speaker 9: Jets led by Rex Ryan, that was.

856
00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:19,200
Speaker 8: The third one we went to but we lost.

857
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:22,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, but you didn't go to it because you lost it, right, Yeah.

858
00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:23,520
Speaker 9: I didn't go to that one because we didn't win it.

859
00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:25,399
Speaker 9: I'll only talk about the ones that I want.

860
00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:26,200
Speaker 8: I was a part of.

861
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:28,399
Speaker 10: You only want the ones that you want.

862
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:32,440
Speaker 2: I love that Mike Golic, Mike Golick is basically the

863
00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:34,200
Speaker 2: coast of God plus football.

864
00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:37,440
Speaker 3: He doesn't share with us. Yeah, like Mikey, Hey, you'll, you'll,

865
00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:38,239
Speaker 3: you'll speak to this.

866
00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:42,279
Speaker 2: Mcfatten is saying the Super Bowl he went to with

867
00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:45,239
Speaker 2: loss does not count on his resume. Where Golic would

868
00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:47,480
Speaker 2: give a pinky just to play in a Super Bowl,

869
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:47,920
Speaker 2: would he not?

870
00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:51,080
Speaker 4: Like absolutely, I would give a pinky to see my

871
00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:54,239
Speaker 4: Jets who they beat. And he doesn't count be in

872
00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:55,000
Speaker 4: the Super Bowl.

873
00:38:56,760 --> 00:39:00,120
Speaker 9: I guess for me at that point when I got

874
00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:02,200
Speaker 9: to the when we got to the third Super Bowl,

875
00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:03,759
Speaker 9: the majority of the guys that were on that team

876
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:06,880
Speaker 9: we never experienced losing the Super Bowl, right, so we

877
00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:10,160
Speaker 9: did all we knew going going to the game and

878
00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:12,920
Speaker 9: winning it. So when we lost in the fashion in

879
00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:15,160
Speaker 9: which we lost, that was like man devastated. So yeah,

880
00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:17,680
Speaker 9: I don't count that. But that year we were the

881
00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:20,440
Speaker 9: two seed. Think about this. I went to Super Bowl

882
00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:22,920
Speaker 9: two times and won every one. My first one was

883
00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:26,680
Speaker 9: my rookie year. So my rookie year, I'm thinking I

884
00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:29,279
Speaker 9: go to the super Bowl every year. That's all I knew.

885
00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:33,279
Speaker 9: I go from leaving Florida State, go into the Combine,

886
00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:36,759
Speaker 9: getting drafted, going to Pittsburgh.

887
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:39,319
Speaker 8: Go to the playoffs, super Bowl. Like, okay, I guess

888
00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:40,960
Speaker 8: we're gonna do it all over again. I didn't know

889
00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:41,960
Speaker 8: how hard it was.

890
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:44,759
Speaker 3: Right, that was easy.

891
00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:46,680
Speaker 8: I'm like, yeah, this is what we do.

892
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:48,640
Speaker 9: And then I heard some of the events talking about

893
00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:50,719
Speaker 9: like man, this is great. Like man, y'all act like

894
00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:51,440
Speaker 9: this was difficult.

895
00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:52,319
Speaker 3: We just did it.

896
00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:54,600
Speaker 8: Let's run it right back.

897
00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:58,880
Speaker 6: For wee.

898
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:01,280
Speaker 3: Forty years forty years.

899
00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:04,440
Speaker 2: All right, We're gonna play a game. Would you be shocked? Okay?

900
00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:07,480
Speaker 2: I want to say it's a weekly feature here on

901
00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:09,920
Speaker 2: God Bless Football, but it's not. We've never done it before.

902
00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:12,800
Speaker 2: But I found this amazing shocks and I'm just trying

903
00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:16,799
Speaker 2: to play it. That's all trying to do. I'm gonna

904
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:19,960
Speaker 2: ask you a series of five football questions, and you

905
00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:22,160
Speaker 2: tell me if you would be shocked.

906
00:40:22,239 --> 00:40:25,719
Speaker 3: Okay, So, mikey Ed you have the sound.

907
00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:27,000
Speaker 6: Ready, I do.

908
00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:36,640
Speaker 2: Brian McFadden, would you be shocked if Rogers or Brady

909
00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:38,000
Speaker 2: made the Super Bowl.

910
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:41,840
Speaker 3: This season, Yes, I would come.

911
00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:42,960
Speaker 8: Shock me up.

912
00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:49,840
Speaker 2: You'd be shocked if one of those two made the

913
00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:50,279
Speaker 2: Super Bowl?

914
00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:52,680
Speaker 8: Yeah, question, no question. Let's keep it real.

915
00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:56,480
Speaker 9: You gotta respect who they are as quarterbacks, legendary players,

916
00:40:56,800 --> 00:41:01,400
Speaker 9: but this season hasn't really been legendary individuals speaking, especially

917
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:04,920
Speaker 9: for Anon Rogers. Tom Brady numbers are not really bad.

918
00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:08,480
Speaker 9: They just don't look good when you watch them play

919
00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:11,480
Speaker 9: because of everything that's surrounded them. So surrounding him, so

920
00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:12,720
Speaker 9: I'll be I would be shocked.

921
00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:16,040
Speaker 2: Tell me Dak Prescott's not like he's like, really, I

922
00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:18,040
Speaker 2: gotta go to Tampa to play Brady to try to

923
00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:19,400
Speaker 2: win a playoff game?

924
00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:19,799
Speaker 3: Yeah?

925
00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:23,880
Speaker 9: Yeah, you know, if you're talking about a Game seven

926
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:26,319
Speaker 9: like situation and you gotta go against Tom Brady even

927
00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:29,960
Speaker 9: though they've really been inconsistent this year, you gotta be concerned.

928
00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:30,720
Speaker 3: Okay.

929
00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:31,560
Speaker 6: Uh.

930
00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:34,520
Speaker 2: Brian McFadden, I just like being a game show host.

931
00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:36,360
Speaker 2: That's really what this is all about, Mike. Yeah, you

932
00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:37,279
Speaker 2: notice that, right.

933
00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:38,560
Speaker 10: I like thee I like.

934
00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:47,319
Speaker 3: All of it. Brian McFadden, would you be shocked if

935
00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:50,200
Speaker 3: a team other than Kansas City, Buffalo or Cincinnati came

936
00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:50,960
Speaker 3: out of the AFC.

937
00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:55,200
Speaker 10: Yes, I would. Oh, I'll shock shot.

938
00:41:54,960 --> 00:42:01,480
Speaker 6: Me, Mike.

939
00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:03,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're right. It is the toughest game we've ever played.

940
00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:10,839
Speaker 8: But you seem to be shot. I'm enjoying it.

941
00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:13,920
Speaker 9: To answer that question, why I would be shocked is

942
00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:17,200
Speaker 9: because I believe those three teams are the best teams

943
00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:17,880
Speaker 9: in the AFC.

944
00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:18,319
Speaker 8: Right.

945
00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:20,680
Speaker 9: I think they're playing some of the best football, great

946
00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:24,400
Speaker 9: quarterback play for all three teams. And then when you

947
00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:27,120
Speaker 9: factor in and look at what's going on in regards

948
00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:30,640
Speaker 9: to the wildcard spots. Granted everything hasn't been solidified yet.

949
00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:33,279
Speaker 9: I like what I'm seeing for the Chargers, but in totality,

950
00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:36,360
Speaker 9: they have some holes on their team. Baltimore, Hey, we

951
00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:38,640
Speaker 9: don't even know if Lamar Jackson is going to return

952
00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:41,839
Speaker 9: in the playoffs, and clearly without Lamar Jackson, that team

953
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:45,000
Speaker 9: can't go far. And we don't know if Miami's going

954
00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:46,759
Speaker 9: to get in. We don't know if New England, we

955
00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:50,360
Speaker 9: don't know if Pittsburgh. For all three teams, they have issues,

956
00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:52,680
Speaker 9: especially if you're talking about Miami without two a tongue

957
00:42:52,680 --> 00:42:54,400
Speaker 9: of our lower So that's why I would be shocked.

958
00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:56,200
Speaker 2: The team I like, though, is the Chargers. I think

959
00:42:56,239 --> 00:42:58,440
Speaker 2: the Chargers are sneaky good. They could, they could kind

960
00:42:58,480 --> 00:42:59,040
Speaker 2: of find their way.

961
00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:02,480
Speaker 9: I just don't I don't trust the head coach, Brandon Staley.

962
00:43:03,239 --> 00:43:11,960
Speaker 3: That's fair. Brian mcfaddy. Would you be shocked if the

963
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:14,080
Speaker 3: Eagles didn't make it to the Super Bowl?

964
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:18,880
Speaker 8: No, all right, I wouldn't be good. Yes, I wouldn't

965
00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:20,400
Speaker 8: be I wouldn't be at all.

966
00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:21,600
Speaker 3: I wouldn't be at all.

967
00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:24,560
Speaker 9: We're seeing some vulnerability coming from the Eagles. They're dealing

968
00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:26,439
Speaker 9: with a lot of injuries, not just with Jalen Hurts,

969
00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:28,799
Speaker 9: but on the defensive side as well. And I think

970
00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:33,920
Speaker 9: that the Hurts injury kind of affected the rhythm they

971
00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:34,560
Speaker 9: had going on.

972
00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:35,480
Speaker 3: I don't like that.

973
00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:37,399
Speaker 2: I don't like that he had to sit. Listen, he's hurt,

974
00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:39,440
Speaker 2: so he's got his sit. But I don't like the

975
00:43:39,480 --> 00:43:41,680
Speaker 2: fact that he'll go maybe five six weeks without playing

976
00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:44,239
Speaker 2: a meeting for football game. That concerned just a little bit.

977
00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:47,480
Speaker 3: Brian mcfaddy. Would you be shocked.

978
00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:54,120
Speaker 2: If someone other than Zach Wilson is the starting quarterback

979
00:43:54,120 --> 00:43:55,200
Speaker 2: for the Jets next season?

980
00:43:55,960 --> 00:43:59,120
Speaker 9: Someone other than Wilson, Yeah, I wouldn't be shot. It's

981
00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:00,680
Speaker 9: not Zach, Yeah, it's somebody else.

982
00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:02,879
Speaker 2: It's going to be So you're telling me definitively, it's

983
00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:05,480
Speaker 2: going to be someone else. You don't buy what Sally

984
00:44:05,520 --> 00:44:06,799
Speaker 2: was saying, Right, Okay.

985
00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:09,040
Speaker 3: No, no, you're you.

986
00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:12,200
Speaker 9: Both of you told me you're Jets fans, right, Yeah,

987
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:14,239
Speaker 9: y'all don't want to see Zach Wilson play another game

988
00:44:14,280 --> 00:44:14,840
Speaker 9: for the Jets.

989
00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:17,800
Speaker 2: Mike, Mikey, I never wanted to see you play a

990
00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:19,719
Speaker 2: game for the Jet.

991
00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:21,439
Speaker 8: Listen what.

992
00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:25,120
Speaker 9: I don't consider myself to be a scout, but I

993
00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:26,520
Speaker 9: know pretty good football.

994
00:44:26,960 --> 00:44:28,560
Speaker 8: When they make that draft pick.

995
00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:31,080
Speaker 9: I was like, why he only gave you one good

996
00:44:31,160 --> 00:44:33,719
Speaker 9: year at b YU. If you go back and look

997
00:44:33,760 --> 00:44:36,560
Speaker 9: at his sophomore campaign, it looked like he was throwing

998
00:44:36,719 --> 00:44:40,360
Speaker 9: with his eyes closed. You make that type of investment

999
00:44:40,560 --> 00:44:46,200
Speaker 9: on a one year guy playing let's say average competition

1000
00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:48,879
Speaker 9: at best consistently, What.

1001
00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:51,680
Speaker 3: Are we doing, the Jets? That's what we're doing.

1002
00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:54,239
Speaker 9: And I'll tell you this much for you guys that

1003
00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:57,040
Speaker 9: are being Jets fans, because I love rooting.

1004
00:44:56,719 --> 00:44:57,160
Speaker 8: For the Jets.

1005
00:44:57,160 --> 00:44:58,880
Speaker 9: We got quite a few, quite a few guys on

1006
00:44:58,880 --> 00:45:01,360
Speaker 9: that team that I know personal, So I like seeing

1007
00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:02,400
Speaker 9: the Jets be relevant.

1008
00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:04,839
Speaker 8: It's good for the game of football. But one thing

1009
00:45:04,840 --> 00:45:06,920
Speaker 8: I think we all should agree with with the Jets.

1010
00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:08,560
Speaker 8: Y'all can't draft quarterbacks.

1011
00:45:08,840 --> 00:45:11,000
Speaker 9: So that being said, go spend money and go get

1012
00:45:11,040 --> 00:45:14,480
Speaker 9: someone who is proving because y'all don't have the football

1013
00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:17,920
Speaker 9: I to draft a quarterback and develop that guy.

1014
00:45:18,520 --> 00:45:21,240
Speaker 8: You're similar to the Denver Broncos. Y'all don't draft quarterbacks.

1015
00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:23,880
Speaker 9: Well, go give Baltimore two first rounds or whatever it is,

1016
00:45:23,880 --> 00:45:24,919
Speaker 9: what it is when it goes, when.

1017
00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:27,279
Speaker 8: They franchise Lamar Jackson and bring Lamar to New.

1018
00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:29,000
Speaker 3: York, Lamar, I'll take Derek Carr.

1019
00:45:29,120 --> 00:45:32,200
Speaker 8: I mean, y'all take anything right now. Heck, heck, y'all

1020
00:45:32,200 --> 00:45:34,720
Speaker 8: will just crying. Y'all were crying bigger for Mike White.

1021
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:36,920
Speaker 8: That's how bad of a situation. Y'all want to hear

1022
00:45:36,920 --> 00:45:37,319
Speaker 8: it out?

1023
00:45:38,360 --> 00:45:40,560
Speaker 2: Okay, last one, would you be shocked? We'll get you

1024
00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:43,480
Speaker 2: out of here. Brian McFadden, Would you be shocked?

1025
00:45:44,239 --> 00:45:47,640
Speaker 4: So angry about the Jets? I forgot that the sound righty.

1026
00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:52,920
Speaker 2: McFadden's a big college football guy, mikey y. Would you

1027
00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:54,920
Speaker 2: be shocked if TCU beat Georgia?

1028
00:45:55,920 --> 00:45:58,680
Speaker 9: Yes, I would do, y'all knock about it.

1029
00:46:01,440 --> 00:46:03,279
Speaker 3: They fit in every game this year they're good. They're

1030
00:46:03,360 --> 00:46:04,000
Speaker 3: legit good.

1031
00:46:04,600 --> 00:46:05,000
Speaker 8: Okay.

1032
00:46:05,080 --> 00:46:07,359
Speaker 9: The reason why I would be shocked is because you're right.

1033
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:10,160
Speaker 9: TCU has been in every ball game I've been riding with.

1034
00:46:10,360 --> 00:46:11,279
Speaker 8: I've won a lot of.

1035
00:46:11,239 --> 00:46:13,960
Speaker 9: Money better on TCU the entire season. But the thing

1036
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:17,760
Speaker 9: about this ball game, Georgia is the most complete team.

1037
00:46:17,840 --> 00:46:20,720
Speaker 9: They're the best well coached team, and they have more

1038
00:46:21,040 --> 00:46:23,040
Speaker 9: NFL players on their team than.

1039
00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:24,880
Speaker 8: TCU have seen the entire season.

1040
00:46:25,239 --> 00:46:28,160
Speaker 9: That accounts for something, and we saw that in the

1041
00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:29,319
Speaker 9: semi final game in.

1042
00:46:29,239 --> 00:46:31,920
Speaker 8: The Peach Bowl with Ohio State. Ohio State had a

1043
00:46:31,920 --> 00:46:33,080
Speaker 8: two touchdown league.

1044
00:46:33,640 --> 00:46:36,520
Speaker 9: With the way their offense was playing nine times out

1045
00:46:36,520 --> 00:46:39,760
Speaker 9: of ten they're playing against any other opponent, they're.

1046
00:46:39,560 --> 00:46:41,000
Speaker 8: Going to beat that team.

1047
00:46:41,480 --> 00:46:45,120
Speaker 9: But because of how well coached UGA is and the

1048
00:46:45,239 --> 00:46:47,959
Speaker 9: talent they have, they found a way to come back.

1049
00:46:48,160 --> 00:46:49,839
Speaker 8: And also too, you gotta factor this end.

1050
00:46:49,880 --> 00:46:53,879
Speaker 9: We saw a slow start by Georgia basically coming from

1051
00:46:53,880 --> 00:46:57,280
Speaker 9: behind to win that ball game. You know, Curry Smart

1052
00:46:57,320 --> 00:46:59,480
Speaker 9: is going to emphasize getting off to a fast start,

1053
00:46:59,640 --> 00:47:02,520
Speaker 9: being more dialed in and playing with the sensor urgency.

1054
00:47:02,840 --> 00:47:06,759
Speaker 9: TCUN won't be able to handle that. They won't If so,

1055
00:47:07,120 --> 00:47:08,600
Speaker 9: I'll do it like this. This is the best way

1056
00:47:08,640 --> 00:47:12,000
Speaker 9: I like to assess potential games that we're going to see.

1057
00:47:11,840 --> 00:47:12,799
Speaker 8: Especially on college level.

1058
00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:13,160
Speaker 3: Right.

1059
00:47:13,239 --> 00:47:15,960
Speaker 9: Yeah, if both teams play their best football, who wins

1060
00:47:16,520 --> 00:47:17,360
Speaker 9: Georgia Georgia.

1061
00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:20,240
Speaker 3: Yep, it's fair, totally fair.

1062
00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:24,960

00:47:40,440 --> 00:47:42,920
Speaker 2: He's a good friend. He's Brian McFadden and he's a

1069
00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:45,279
Speaker 2: great broadcaster. Anything you want to promote on the way

00:47:56,040 --> 00:47:56,600
Speaker 9: that said day.

1076

1078
00:48:01,760 --> 00:48:03,680

1079
00:48:03,719 --> 00:48:04,080

Speaker 4: Look at him. I look at college sports right.

1092
00:48:26,239 --> 00:48:36,200
Speaker 3: There, right person in this zoom. Jesus, what's going on? Nothing?

1093
00:48:36,200 --> 00:48:38,719
Speaker 2: We're happy to have a finally I mean, look at

1094
00:48:38,719 --> 00:48:40,359
Speaker 2: the two of us, but we finally have a good

1095
00:48:40,360 --> 00:48:41,520
Speaker 2: looking person in our zoom.

1096
00:48:41,600 --> 00:48:42,520
Speaker 3: This is fantastic.

1097
00:48:42,560 --> 00:48:44,880
Speaker 10: Oh come on now, you guys, you guys, fill up

1098
00:48:44,880 --> 00:48:47,840
Speaker 10: that screaming with handsome don't tell yourself.

1099
00:48:47,800 --> 00:48:48,760
Speaker 3: We fill up the screen.

1100
00:48:50,880 --> 00:48:53,560
Speaker 10: Hey that that has become a problem for me. That's

1101
00:48:53,560 --> 00:48:56,840
Speaker 10: about to get attacked. So it's uh, I was filling

1102
00:48:56,920 --> 00:48:58,280
Speaker 10: up the screen a little too much.

1103
00:48:58,360 --> 00:49:01,880
Speaker 3: So now we can't get enough of Reeze Davis.

1104
00:49:01,880 --> 00:49:03,799
Speaker 2: We were saying right before you came on that you're

1105
00:49:03,840 --> 00:49:06,640
Speaker 2: the voice and the face of college sports. Like that's

1106
00:49:06,920 --> 00:49:10,080
Speaker 2: that's because you go right from college football into college

1107
00:49:10,120 --> 00:49:12,080
Speaker 2: basketball and We'll get to the college football game in

1108
00:49:12,120 --> 00:49:14,640
Speaker 2: a minute. But that must feel great that you are

1109
00:49:14,719 --> 00:49:18,200
Speaker 2: the You're the authority, the voice and the face of

1110
00:49:18,320 --> 00:49:19,280
Speaker 2: college sports.

1111
00:49:19,320 --> 00:49:20,400
Speaker 3: How does that feel? Reason?

1112
00:49:20,840 --> 00:49:23,720
Speaker 10: Well, you know what, I don't think of it very often,

1113
00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:29,280
Speaker 10: but I sure do like hearing it. I'll tell you, well,

1114
00:49:29,360 --> 00:49:32,520
Speaker 10: reminded of it it went, I'm reminded by good people

1115
00:49:32,680 --> 00:49:36,719
Speaker 10: like you. No, man, you know what it's. It's I'm

1116
00:49:36,719 --> 00:49:38,359
Speaker 10: blessed to do what I do. And I know that

1117
00:49:38,400 --> 00:49:41,440
Speaker 10: both sports have some issues, but I grew up loving

1118
00:49:41,480 --> 00:49:43,239
Speaker 10: both of them, so to be able to be in

1119
00:49:43,280 --> 00:49:46,759
Speaker 10: the in the middle of it is a great thing.

1120
00:49:46,760 --> 00:49:48,960
Speaker 10: It's a blessing and I appreciate it. And I work

1121
00:49:49,040 --> 00:49:52,239
Speaker 10: with great folks and looking forward to to Monday night.

1122
00:49:52,280 --> 00:49:55,040
Speaker 2: For sure, the great Reese Davis is with us here

1123
00:49:55,080 --> 00:49:59,560
Speaker 2: on gobless football. I'm wondering Reesa's college football ever been

1124
00:50:00,120 --> 00:50:02,879
Speaker 2: as good as it was last Saturday because home, Mike.

1125
00:50:02,960 --> 00:50:05,520
Speaker 3: God, when the second game is better than the first

1126
00:50:05,560 --> 00:50:07,400
Speaker 3: game and the first game was a classic, you have

1127
00:50:07,520 --> 00:50:09,000
Speaker 3: yourself a semi final. Man.

1128
00:50:09,320 --> 00:50:12,719
Speaker 10: Well, there's never been a day during the playoff era

1129
00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:15,520
Speaker 10: like that for old heads like me. You know, maybe

1130
00:50:15,560 --> 00:50:17,719
Speaker 10: you could go back and think of the days when

1131
00:50:17,760 --> 00:50:21,600
Speaker 10: the New Year's Day Bowl games were staggered and nobody

1132
00:50:21,680 --> 00:50:24,520
Speaker 10: played each other for number one but one, two, and

1133
00:50:24,600 --> 00:50:26,840
Speaker 10: three loss. And then you get to the Orange Bowl

1134
00:50:27,080 --> 00:50:29,120
Speaker 10: on New Year's Night, and if number four one they

1135
00:50:29,160 --> 00:50:31,920
Speaker 10: were gonna be national champions. You know, things like that

1136
00:50:32,239 --> 00:50:37,120
Speaker 10: maybe would be somewhat somewhat comparable. But in the playoff era,

1137
00:50:37,560 --> 00:50:40,279
Speaker 10: I mean, there's never been a semi final Day that

1138
00:50:40,400 --> 00:50:45,600
Speaker 10: even came close to that because one game has always disappointed,

1139
00:50:45,800 --> 00:50:48,799
Speaker 10: and most of the time both of them did, at

1140
00:50:48,880 --> 00:50:52,239
Speaker 10: least in terms of drama. Because prior to Saturday or

1141
00:50:52,280 --> 00:50:54,719
Speaker 10: whatever day it was New Year's Eve, right, we had

1142
00:50:54,719 --> 00:50:57,680
Speaker 10: only had three of the sixteen games even be decided

1143
00:50:57,719 --> 00:51:00,239
Speaker 10: by double digits. And I've used this example, I mean

1144
00:51:00,239 --> 00:51:03,160
Speaker 10: by single digits. I've used this example a few times.

1145
00:51:03,520 --> 00:51:06,919
Speaker 10: One of those three was the second playoff game ever

1146
00:51:06,960 --> 00:51:10,319
Speaker 10: between Ohio State and Alabama. Alabama was throwing to the

1147
00:51:10,400 --> 00:51:12,719
Speaker 10: end zone on the final play of the game to

1148
00:51:12,840 --> 00:51:14,960
Speaker 10: tie it or win if they're gone for two. But

1149
00:51:15,040 --> 00:51:18,960
Speaker 10: that's not how people remember that game. They remember Ezekiel

1150
00:51:19,080 --> 00:51:22,440
Speaker 10: Elliott going off, they remember the trick play, and everybody

1151
00:51:22,480 --> 00:51:26,320
Speaker 10: feels like Ohio State you know, won by twenty one points,

1152
00:51:26,840 --> 00:51:29,760
Speaker 10: and because of that, it can't really feel like a classic.

1153
00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:32,560
Speaker 10: So the two you had prior to Saturday, we're Georgi

1154
00:51:32,600 --> 00:51:35,160
Speaker 10: and Oklahoma and the Rose Bowl in seventeen and then

1155
00:51:35,239 --> 00:51:37,400
Speaker 10: the Ohio State Clemson game that was decided on the

1156
00:51:37,480 --> 00:51:42,480
Speaker 10: late interception. Those two games were classic, and Saturday for

1157
00:51:42,760 --> 00:51:46,719
Speaker 10: a day was unparalleled in the playoff air. It was

1158
00:51:46,760 --> 00:51:48,000
Speaker 10: it was spectacular.

1159
00:51:48,800 --> 00:51:51,680
Speaker 2: Should we be celebrating the Playoff Committee? Even though I

1160
00:51:51,719 --> 00:51:53,719
Speaker 2: felt like Alabama should have been in, but they gave

1161
00:51:53,800 --> 00:51:55,960
Speaker 2: us two classics that it looks like they got it right.

1162
00:51:56,360 --> 00:51:58,840
Speaker 10: Well, I believe this and I'm going to stick with it.

1163
00:51:58,920 --> 00:52:03,400
Speaker 10: Performance has nothing to do with selection. I'll use another

1164
00:52:03,680 --> 00:52:06,560
Speaker 10: time honored example the year VCU went to the Final four.

1165
00:52:07,120 --> 00:52:09,440
Speaker 10: They should not have been in the tournament, and just

1166
00:52:09,480 --> 00:52:12,880
Speaker 10: because they won once they got there, had nothing to

1167
00:52:12,920 --> 00:52:15,839
Speaker 10: do with whether their selection was valid or not. So

1168
00:52:16,280 --> 00:52:19,040
Speaker 10: the committee, I think, I think the committee did do

1169
00:52:19,120 --> 00:52:22,840
Speaker 10: the right thing. I would differ with you on Alabama

1170
00:52:22,880 --> 00:52:25,600
Speaker 10: deserving to be in. I would agree with you if

1171
00:52:25,680 --> 00:52:27,840
Speaker 10: you're telling me that Alabama is one of the teams

1172
00:52:27,840 --> 00:52:30,720
Speaker 10: that you know had the best shot of beating Georgia

1173
00:52:31,239 --> 00:52:34,840
Speaker 10: but at some point, even if you are capable and

1174
00:52:34,960 --> 00:52:37,840
Speaker 10: good and have the elite talent, you've got to do

1175
00:52:38,080 --> 00:52:40,560
Speaker 10: enough to earn your way in. And Alabama didn't do that.

1176
00:52:40,640 --> 00:52:43,960
Speaker 10: If they had been, you know, truly dominant and every

1177
00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:46,520
Speaker 10: other game save those two games that they lost in

1178
00:52:46,560 --> 00:52:49,160
Speaker 10: the last play, I probably would have felt differently. But

1179
00:52:49,200 --> 00:52:51,000
Speaker 10: I didn't feel like they played that way all year.

1180
00:52:51,480 --> 00:52:53,640
Speaker 2: Rece, I guess, and I don't know what to do

1181
00:52:53,760 --> 00:52:55,360
Speaker 2: with this, And I guess there's nothing I can do

1182
00:52:55,440 --> 00:52:58,160
Speaker 2: with it really other than just enjoy the game Monday night.

1183
00:52:58,239 --> 00:53:00,920
Speaker 2: But my feeling is Alabama would have a really I

1184
00:53:00,920 --> 00:53:03,080
Speaker 2: think they'd beat TCU, would have a really good shot

1185
00:53:03,080 --> 00:53:05,600
Speaker 2: of beating beating Georgia. And so I don't know if

1186
00:53:05,640 --> 00:53:09,439
Speaker 2: I'm seeing a true national champion unless they have gone

1187
00:53:09,480 --> 00:53:11,560
Speaker 2: out and actually beat in Alabama.

1188
00:53:11,560 --> 00:53:12,160
Speaker 3: It's crazy.

1189
00:53:12,600 --> 00:53:15,160
Speaker 10: Well, there are a couple of things, and you know,

1190
00:53:15,239 --> 00:53:16,960
Speaker 10: you have to I want to be very clear about

1191
00:53:17,000 --> 00:53:19,800
Speaker 10: the way this because there's some nuance here. The two teams,

1192
00:53:19,880 --> 00:53:24,640
Speaker 10: in my judgment that had the right weapons to beat

1193
00:53:24,760 --> 00:53:28,080
Speaker 10: George I had the best chance of beating Georgia. Where

1194
00:53:28,120 --> 00:53:34,840
Speaker 10: Ohio State in Alabama because of the quarterback play mostly

1195
00:53:35,320 --> 00:53:38,520
Speaker 10: now TCU has that too. I do wonder if TCU

1196
00:53:38,640 --> 00:53:42,359
Speaker 10: can stand up defensively. They certainly stood in there made

1197
00:53:42,440 --> 00:53:47,000
Speaker 10: life difficult for Michigan, which in some ways plays a

1198
00:53:47,000 --> 00:53:49,120
Speaker 10: little like George in terms of, you know, they want

1199
00:53:49,160 --> 00:53:50,399
Speaker 10: to be physical in the running game.

1200
00:53:50,400 --> 00:53:51,000
Speaker 3: But I think.

1201
00:53:50,800 --> 00:53:54,440
Speaker 10: Georgia is a little more probably a little more aggressive

1202
00:53:54,480 --> 00:53:57,560
Speaker 10: in the passing game. The quarterback is more mature. Although

1203
00:53:57,600 --> 00:54:00,000
Speaker 10: I think Michigan's quarterback is going to be a super

1204
00:54:00,080 --> 00:54:03,880
Speaker 10: star next year. So I think TCU can win the

1205
00:54:03,960 --> 00:54:07,880
Speaker 10: game to I really do. Uh, they'll need Georgia to

1206
00:54:08,000 --> 00:54:10,640
Speaker 10: help them. Uh, they I don't think that if it's

1207
00:54:10,680 --> 00:54:12,480
Speaker 10: one of those games like Georgia and Ohio State the

1208
00:54:12,520 --> 00:54:14,520
Speaker 10: other night, even though Georgia didn't play its best game,

1209
00:54:14,920 --> 00:54:17,600
Speaker 10: but the two teams lineup, both teams play great, one

1210
00:54:17,640 --> 00:54:20,000
Speaker 10: team comes out the winner. If both teams play their

1211
00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:23,040
Speaker 10: best ball, George is gonna win. But if Georgia, you know,

1212
00:54:23,320 --> 00:54:26,560
Speaker 10: makes a key mistake here and there. TCU as elite

1213
00:54:26,600 --> 00:54:30,719
Speaker 10: receiver play and their receivers, say, Quenton Johnston didn't play

1214
00:54:30,960 --> 00:54:36,400
Speaker 10: that great against Michigan. Duggan's just a flat warrior. He's

1215
00:54:36,480 --> 00:54:40,360
Speaker 10: like he's like right handed Tim Tebow and probably a

1216
00:54:40,400 --> 00:54:45,160
Speaker 10: little smoother passer. He is he he's He's just a warrior.

1217
00:54:45,520 --> 00:54:47,640
Speaker 10: So I think TCU can win the game. They got

1218
00:54:47,640 --> 00:54:49,200
Speaker 10: a lot of things to I have a lot of

1219
00:54:49,200 --> 00:54:51,160
Speaker 10: things go right for them, and I do think it's

1220
00:54:51,160 --> 00:54:54,880
Speaker 10: a true national championship game. I understand your affinity for

1221
00:54:54,960 --> 00:54:58,440
Speaker 10: Alabama's talent, Alabama as the best player in the country,

1222
00:54:58,600 --> 00:55:02,040
Speaker 10: and my judgment, will Anders and best quarterback and Bryce

1223
00:55:02,120 --> 00:55:05,640
Speaker 10: Youngo Caleb Williams certainly could stay claim to that, but

1224
00:55:05,680 --> 00:55:07,759
Speaker 10: I don't think they played as a team all year

1225
00:55:07,800 --> 00:55:11,000
Speaker 10: to the level to where them not being here somehow

1226
00:55:11,120 --> 00:55:13,799
Speaker 10: undermines the validity of the championship. I think you've got

1227
00:55:13,840 --> 00:55:17,560
Speaker 10: the legitimate national championship game with George and TCU Monday night.

1228
00:55:17,680 --> 00:55:20,480
Speaker 2: No, Reaes, that's fair. My objection was not TCU. I've

1229
00:55:20,480 --> 00:55:22,440
Speaker 2: been watching them all year. Like the game they played

1230
00:55:22,480 --> 00:55:24,600
Speaker 2: Sunday night in the semi final, it was Ohio State.

1231
00:55:24,840 --> 00:55:25,640
Speaker 10: It was Ohio State.

1232
00:55:25,680 --> 00:55:28,480
Speaker 2: Okay, I would have put Batman over Ohio State. I

1233
00:55:28,520 --> 00:55:31,399
Speaker 2: thought TCU was deserving. Like I watched them all year

1234
00:55:31,400 --> 00:55:34,120
Speaker 2: in the game they played Saturday night. Is they play

1235
00:55:34,200 --> 00:55:37,040
Speaker 2: the same game every week? Reese, That's true. And you

1236
00:55:37,080 --> 00:55:38,560
Speaker 2: know what, you think you're gonna blow them out, and

1237
00:55:38,560 --> 00:55:40,200
Speaker 2: all of a sudden they're driving for a game.

1238
00:55:40,200 --> 00:55:42,920
Speaker 3: When he touchdown three minutes ago in the fourth.

1239
00:55:42,680 --> 00:55:47,680
Speaker 10: Quarter, they've got something to them. And it's been Ford

1240
00:55:47,840 --> 00:55:50,240
Speaker 10: sort of over the course of the season of coming

1241
00:55:50,280 --> 00:55:53,920
Speaker 10: back for these improbable deficits. They've been behind five times

1242
00:55:53,920 --> 00:55:56,520
Speaker 10: in the second half and won the game. Nobody else

1243
00:55:56,520 --> 00:55:58,160
Speaker 10: has done that more often there. I think there are

1244
00:55:58,160 --> 00:56:00,440
Speaker 10: a couple of teams who have matched that. I mean,

1245
00:56:00,520 --> 00:56:03,480
Speaker 10: they haven't, as you've rightly pointed out, they haven't just

1246
00:56:03,600 --> 00:56:06,880
Speaker 10: been behind. They've been behind like seventeen points, you know,

1247
00:56:06,920 --> 00:56:08,520
Speaker 10: a couple of times, you know, and come back to

1248
00:56:08,560 --> 00:56:11,359
Speaker 10: win the game. They never feel as if they're out

1249
00:56:11,360 --> 00:56:15,520
Speaker 10: of it. I thought their defense really played pretty well

1250
00:56:15,640 --> 00:56:19,040
Speaker 10: against Michigan, and their defense has improved over the course

1251
00:56:19,080 --> 00:56:22,040
Speaker 10: of the season. Starting if you're a nerd like I am,

1252
00:56:22,080 --> 00:56:25,520
Speaker 10: and you look at some of these you know, advanced statistics,

1253
00:56:26,200 --> 00:56:31,120
Speaker 10: their mistackle percentage was pretty pedestrian, to put it kindly,

1254
00:56:31,400 --> 00:56:34,880
Speaker 10: up until the Texas game when they shut down Bijon

1255
00:56:35,000 --> 00:56:39,160
Speaker 10: Robinson in Texas running game. And since then they've tackled really,

1256
00:56:39,200 --> 00:56:42,440
Speaker 10: really well, which is really important. When you run that

1257
00:56:42,760 --> 00:56:45,800
Speaker 10: three three five stack with safeties coming in and filling

1258
00:56:45,840 --> 00:56:48,480
Speaker 10: gaps and you don't really know where everybody's coming from,

1259
00:56:48,719 --> 00:56:51,000
Speaker 10: it really puts a premium on guys tackling in the

1260
00:56:51,000 --> 00:56:53,360
Speaker 10: open field. And they've done that. They've done that really

1261
00:56:53,360 --> 00:56:55,120
Speaker 10: well since since the Texas game.

1262
00:56:55,719 --> 00:56:58,160
Speaker 2: Reese, So you like McCarthy, Would you say McCarthy got

1263
00:56:58,160 --> 00:57:01,400
Speaker 2: to be like a Heisman front runner preseason next.

1264
00:57:01,320 --> 00:57:05,680
Speaker 10: Year if he takes the same type of step from

1265
00:57:05,880 --> 00:57:07,879
Speaker 10: this year to next year as he did last year

1266
00:57:07,920 --> 00:57:10,680
Speaker 10: to this year. I think so. He's got a lot

1267
00:57:10,680 --> 00:57:12,799
Speaker 10: of toughness about him, he's got obviously, got a lot

1268
00:57:12,840 --> 00:57:16,720
Speaker 10: of physical ability. Gonna be very difficult to not Caleb

1269
00:57:16,760 --> 00:57:19,160
Speaker 10: Williams out of that seat because he is he is

1270
00:57:19,360 --> 00:57:23,160
Speaker 10: just sensational and he's got another year. But McCarthy is

1271
00:57:23,240 --> 00:57:25,720
Speaker 10: a McCarthy's a legit, dude. I think he's going to

1272
00:57:25,760 --> 00:57:26,240
Speaker 10: be terrific.

1273
00:57:26,840 --> 00:57:30,160
Speaker 4: You said McCarthy's gonna take that next step. Is Jim

1274
00:57:30,200 --> 00:57:31,360
Speaker 4: Harbaugh going to be his coach?

1275
00:57:32,560 --> 00:57:35,200
Speaker 10: That's a great question that I don't know the answer to.

1276
00:57:35,600 --> 00:57:38,640
Speaker 10: I do think that I understand what Jim said in

1277
00:57:38,680 --> 00:57:41,480
Speaker 10: the offseason, and you know what else is he going

1278
00:57:41,560 --> 00:57:45,320
Speaker 10: to say, I always believe if somebody else doesn't want

1279
00:57:45,360 --> 00:57:47,800
Speaker 10: your coach, and someone else is not trying to get

1280
00:57:47,840 --> 00:57:50,640
Speaker 10: your coach, sooner or later, you're not gonna want your

1281
00:57:50,680 --> 00:57:53,800
Speaker 10: coach either. So it's a good thing that Harbaugh has

1282
00:57:53,880 --> 00:57:57,080
Speaker 10: interest on the outside. My gut tells me that he

1283
00:57:57,120 --> 00:57:59,880
Speaker 10: does want to go back and go to the NFL

1284
00:58:00,440 --> 00:58:02,720
Speaker 10: because of the state of some things in college football.

1285
00:58:02,840 --> 00:58:05,520
Speaker 10: The NFL as difficult a job as that is, in

1286
00:58:05,520 --> 00:58:08,280
Speaker 10: some ways it's easier because at least you don't have

1287
00:58:08,360 --> 00:58:12,320
Speaker 10: to re recruit your own roster. You're not solely responsible

1288
00:58:12,400 --> 00:58:15,480
Speaker 10: for salary cap as it were, you know, in some

1289
00:58:15,520 --> 00:58:18,959
Speaker 10: of those constraints, and there's a finite period of time

1290
00:58:19,000 --> 00:58:21,880
Speaker 10: when guys can practice, guys can come and go, you

1291
00:58:22,000 --> 00:58:25,160
Speaker 10: have a little time off. That's not really true in

1292
00:58:25,200 --> 00:58:28,200
Speaker 10: college football right now. And I think with getting Michigan

1293
00:58:28,240 --> 00:58:32,360
Speaker 10: to two straight College Football Playoffs, two straight Big Ten championships,

1294
00:58:32,640 --> 00:58:35,280
Speaker 10: I think Jim can go out now if he chooses,

1295
00:58:35,600 --> 00:58:37,840
Speaker 10: and go to the NFL and feel as if he

1296
00:58:37,920 --> 00:58:42,520
Speaker 10: has put Michigan in a really, really good spot. If

1297
00:58:42,600 --> 00:58:44,440
Speaker 10: I were a betting man and I'm not trying to

1298
00:58:44,480 --> 00:58:47,360
Speaker 10: make all the Michigan people mad. If I had to

1299
00:58:47,440 --> 00:58:49,480
Speaker 10: lay a bet on it, I would say, Jim goes

1300
00:58:49,520 --> 00:58:52,120
Speaker 10: to the NFL, but we'll see, Well, you.

1301
00:58:52,120 --> 00:58:55,040
Speaker 3: Just made him mad. I mean, yeah, I know you're

1302
00:58:55,080 --> 00:58:57,760
Speaker 3: the voice in face of the college sports. We've established that.

1303
00:58:57,920 --> 00:59:00,560
Speaker 10: You know, that's you know. I can't I can't wait

1304
00:59:00,640 --> 00:59:02,960
Speaker 10: until the preseason when I, you know, go up to

1305
00:59:03,000 --> 00:59:04,960
Speaker 10: see Jim or something in the off season he goes.

1306
00:59:05,240 --> 00:59:06,920
Speaker 10: You said it was gonna be gone, you know, but

1307
00:59:07,160 --> 00:59:09,240
Speaker 10: he would he will not have heard it, but somebody

1308
00:59:09,240 --> 00:59:10,560
Speaker 10: would have told him about it, you know.

1309
00:59:15,240 --> 00:59:17,360
Speaker 3: Rehys Davis is with us. Go ahead, Mike you say

1310
00:59:17,400 --> 00:59:18,080
Speaker 3: what you want to say.

1311
00:59:18,600 --> 00:59:21,240
Speaker 4: Speaking of betting, man, I hear you got an opening.

1312
00:59:21,280 --> 00:59:24,440
Speaker 3: Maybe how much miss the Bear? What do you think?

1313
00:59:24,960 --> 00:59:29,520
Speaker 2: Yes, Figel, thank you, Mikey. I will angle to replace

1314
00:59:29,560 --> 00:59:32,360
Speaker 2: the Bear. I've asked Felika if he'd be offended if

1315
00:59:32,360 --> 00:59:35,080
Speaker 2: I threw my name into the mix. Felika, whom I

1316
00:59:35,120 --> 00:59:36,920
Speaker 2: love and I know you guys love as well. Reese,

1317
00:59:37,200 --> 00:59:38,760
Speaker 2: I'll leaving the show. You guys are going to miss

1318
00:59:38,800 --> 00:59:39,800
Speaker 2: him dearly, aren't you.

1319
00:59:39,880 --> 00:59:42,720
Speaker 10: Oh yeah, I mean there's there's when somebody's been on

1320
00:59:42,760 --> 00:59:46,360
Speaker 10: the show as long as Chris has there's an institutional

1321
00:59:46,440 --> 00:59:49,680
Speaker 10: knowledge of the show, and he's you know, he's got

1322
00:59:49,880 --> 00:59:54,439
Speaker 10: tremendous knowledge of the history of the sport. The great

1323
00:59:54,440 --> 00:59:57,520
Speaker 10: thing I used I used this example about Bear is

1324
00:59:57,560 --> 01:00:01,360
Speaker 10: that I fancy myself the wrong bit of a historian

1325
01:00:01,360 --> 01:00:04,000
Speaker 10: of the sport. But I will, you know, in my

1326
01:00:04,560 --> 01:00:08,200
Speaker 10: middle age. Now we'll say, hey, you remember that game,

1327
01:00:08,440 --> 01:00:13,120
Speaker 10: you know, like purduing Minnesota, and I'll cite some instance,

1328
01:00:14,000 --> 01:00:17,760
Speaker 10: and if Bear doesn't exactly know which year it is,

1329
01:00:18,240 --> 01:00:20,520
Speaker 10: he will narrow it down to about a two year

1330
01:00:20,600 --> 01:00:22,800
Speaker 10: span and have the answer for you in a you know,

1331
01:00:23,280 --> 01:00:26,959
Speaker 10: thirty seconds or something. He's remarkable in that way. You'll go, yeah, yeah, yeah,

1332
01:00:26,960 --> 01:00:29,120
Speaker 10: it was it was either ninety seven or ninety eight.

1333
01:00:29,200 --> 01:00:31,600
Speaker 10: Let me chat, you know. And and then he got it,

1334
01:00:31,600 --> 01:00:33,200
Speaker 10: and he's got this vast database.

1335
01:00:33,960 --> 01:00:34,120
Speaker 8: You know.

1336
01:00:34,320 --> 01:00:37,280
Speaker 10: I'm we're very sorry to leave him, but I'm sort

1337
01:00:37,280 --> 01:00:41,000
Speaker 10: of of the of this opinion. You want good things

1338
01:00:41,040 --> 01:00:44,840
Speaker 10: to happen to people, especially good people. He's got an

1339
01:00:44,880 --> 01:00:49,560
Speaker 10: opportunity that sort of can you know, be life altering

1340
01:00:49,560 --> 01:00:53,080
Speaker 10: for him from a personal standpoint, And I applaud him

1341
01:00:53,080 --> 01:00:56,240
Speaker 10: and wish him well to a degree. Since he's going

1342
01:00:56,280 --> 01:00:58,720
Speaker 10: to a competitor. I wish him well personally, but I

1343
01:00:58,760 --> 01:01:01,120
Speaker 10: don't have any good wish for any competition.

1344
01:01:01,600 --> 01:01:02,840
Speaker 3: I don't think you guys need to work.

1345
01:01:03,120 --> 01:01:05,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's no competition for gadday.

1346
01:01:06,040 --> 01:01:10,440
Speaker 10: Yeah, now you truer words have not been spoken. You're

1347
01:01:10,520 --> 01:01:14,320
Speaker 10: exactly right, But no, I do. I look, he's a

1348
01:01:14,360 --> 01:01:17,400
Speaker 10: great guy, and he did tremendous work, integral part of

1349
01:01:17,400 --> 01:01:19,600
Speaker 10: the show for all of those years, and we'll miss

1350
01:01:19,680 --> 01:01:22,160
Speaker 10: him and Steve Gotts. Throw your name right in right

1351
01:01:22,160 --> 01:01:24,680
Speaker 10: in the ring there, now, we you know, we we

1352
01:01:24,720 --> 01:01:27,520
Speaker 10: need some guys who know the wagering world.

1355
01:01:33,240 --> 01:01:35,720
Speaker 2: the season. I mean, I'm picking way too many games,

1356
01:01:35,760 --> 01:01:38,840
Speaker 2: but I'm pretty certain that's a better percentage than Felika.

1357
01:01:38,880 --> 01:01:41,120
Speaker 3: I'm just so it is.

1358
01:01:41,400 --> 01:01:46,000
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean, you know, truth is truth, Facts are facts, right, I.

01:01:45,920 --> 01:01:48,440
Speaker 3: Mean a little fun, a little entertainment off to the side.

01:01:50,800 --> 01:01:52,960
Speaker 2: making fun of you guys. I'm making fun of myself.

Speaker 2: I'm picking games. I mean, feel free to throw my

1363
01:01:56,200 --> 01:01:57,720

01:01:57,880 --> 01:01:59,600
Speaker 3: It will be more coming from you than it will

1365
01:01:59,600 --> 01:01:59,880
Speaker 3: from me.

1366
01:02:00,160 --> 01:02:06,560
Speaker 10: Promise. Hey, you you've you've you've performed well on the

1367
01:02:06,600 --> 01:02:09,240
Speaker 10: show in the past, as I recall, you know, so, hey,

1368
01:02:09,440 --> 01:02:12,440
Speaker 10: you know you got your resume reel in there already.

1369
01:02:12,120 --> 01:02:13,960
Speaker 3: I do. All right, who do I contact? Who's the

1370
01:02:13,960 --> 01:02:15,600
Speaker 3: person who's in charge of this operation?

1371
01:02:17,360 --> 01:02:20,040
Speaker 10: You know who they are? You know who they are.

1372
01:02:20,360 --> 01:02:21,120
Speaker 10: I know exactly what.

1373
01:02:24,120 --> 01:02:26,360
Speaker 2: By the way, Bear will give you that information while

1374
01:02:26,360 --> 01:02:28,720
Speaker 2: have a while having his face stuck in a daily

1375
01:02:28,840 --> 01:02:29,560
Speaker 2: racing for him.

1376
01:02:29,680 --> 01:02:31,640
Speaker 3: I mean, it's unbelievable.

1377
01:02:31,480 --> 01:02:34,280
Speaker 10: That that is something. But a quick story that I

1378
01:02:34,280 --> 01:02:37,160
Speaker 10: hope doesn't make Bear mad that I uh that I

1379
01:02:37,240 --> 01:02:40,080
Speaker 10: share this. My daughter came with me on a trip

1380
01:02:40,920 --> 01:02:43,040
Speaker 10: I think it was I don't remember what you doesn't matter.

1381
01:02:43,200 --> 01:02:45,720
Speaker 10: It was at Auburn one year, and I guess it

1382
01:02:45,800 --> 01:02:47,880
Speaker 10: was a big race weekend. My daughter was with me

1383
01:02:47,920 --> 01:02:51,480
Speaker 10: for the Alabama Auburn game. And Bear is sitting there

1384
01:02:51,480 --> 01:02:53,360
Speaker 10: on Friday and she's with me in the office while

1385
01:02:53,360 --> 01:02:56,600
Speaker 10: I'm doing some work, and he's watching the horses on

1386
01:02:56,640 --> 01:02:59,600
Speaker 10: his computer and he starts that thing that people don't

1387
01:02:59,600 --> 01:03:01,720
Speaker 10: know he's going where he starts going.

1388
01:03:01,920 --> 01:03:03,360
Speaker 6: Get up get up.

1389
01:03:05,040 --> 01:03:07,920
Speaker 10: And if you're pounding the desk and yelling. And my

1390
01:03:08,160 --> 01:03:12,880
Speaker 10: daughter is looking at him, and and she's like, you know,

1391
01:03:13,200 --> 01:03:15,600
Speaker 10: be fuddled. And she leaned into me and she said,

1392
01:03:15,680 --> 01:03:17,440
Speaker 10: I mean, and look my daughter. You know, she was

1393
01:03:17,560 --> 01:03:19,920
Speaker 10: a high school senior, wasn't She wasn't a little girl,

1394
01:03:20,000 --> 01:03:23,560
Speaker 10: you know, And she she said, what's wrong is he?

1395
01:03:23,800 --> 01:03:23,880
Speaker 8: Is?

1396
01:03:23,920 --> 01:03:24,000
Speaker 6: He?

1397
01:03:24,080 --> 01:03:28,960
Speaker 10: Okay? What's wrong with him? She's just watching a horse race.

1398
01:03:29,040 --> 01:03:32,240
Speaker 10: He got some money on it. She's like, oh, okay, yeah,

1399
01:03:32,320 --> 01:03:33,880
Speaker 10: he'll starts.

1400
01:03:33,680 --> 01:03:34,800
Speaker 3: Just got a gambling problem.

1401
01:03:37,760 --> 01:03:40,600
Speaker 10: They see, if you start gambling, this could happen to

1402
01:03:40,640 --> 01:03:41,000
Speaker 10: you too.

1403
01:03:41,200 --> 01:03:44,920
Speaker 3: You bear will be okay with that, I promise.

1404
01:03:47,160 --> 01:03:50,280
Speaker 2: In that hypothetical world, whereas where we were, where we

1405
01:03:50,280 --> 01:03:53,360
Speaker 2: were at before, if Jim Harbaugh were to leave Michigan

1406
01:03:53,400 --> 01:03:55,520
Speaker 2: go to the NFL, and I believe that's going to

1407
01:03:55,600 --> 01:03:56,840
Speaker 2: be the case, who.

1408
01:03:56,720 --> 01:03:59,480
Speaker 3: Can you envision as being the guy that would replace

1409
01:03:59,560 --> 01:04:00,000
Speaker 3: Jim Harmon?

1410
01:04:00,520 --> 01:04:03,360
Speaker 10: It's a I mean, there are a lot of the

1411
01:04:03,400 --> 01:04:05,400
Speaker 10: one guy the first guy would have thought of is

1412
01:04:05,440 --> 01:04:09,400
Speaker 10: now the head coach at Wisconsin, Luke Fickle. Beyond that,

1413
01:04:09,920 --> 01:04:11,760
Speaker 10: if they really wanted to take a chance a guy

1414
01:04:11,800 --> 01:04:13,720
Speaker 10: that he's young. But I think it's a rising star

1415
01:04:13,800 --> 01:04:16,800
Speaker 10: and coaching Mike McDonald, wh's the defensive coordinator for the Ravens,

1416
01:04:16,840 --> 01:04:19,000
Speaker 10: who was a DC at Michigan last year. Really impressive

1417
01:04:19,000 --> 01:04:21,560
Speaker 10: young guy, but he's never been a head coach. So

1418
01:04:22,440 --> 01:04:25,720
Speaker 10: I would keep an eye on Matt Campbell at Iowa State.

1419
01:04:26,600 --> 01:04:30,800
Speaker 10: Matt's done a sensational job there and resurrecting what has

1420
01:04:30,880 --> 01:04:34,800
Speaker 10: largely been a moribund program. But honestly compels me to

1421
01:04:34,880 --> 01:04:37,919
Speaker 10: say about Matt, who I really really like and think

1422
01:04:37,960 --> 01:04:41,320
Speaker 10: that he would really fit that mold that they would

1423
01:04:41,400 --> 01:04:45,360
Speaker 10: like at Michigan. But if I were Ward Manual, the

1424
01:04:45,400 --> 01:04:49,440
Speaker 10: athletic director, I would ask Matt Campbell one question. The

1425
01:04:49,480 --> 01:04:51,880
Speaker 10: answer would not be disqualifying. I would just want to

1426
01:04:51,960 --> 01:04:54,880
Speaker 10: know what he said when I asked him, why have

1427
01:04:54,960 --> 01:04:57,880
Speaker 10: your team's lost so many close games? And I don't

1428
01:04:57,960 --> 01:05:00,800
Speaker 10: mean that to throw a shot. I just wanted no now,

1429
01:05:02,320 --> 01:05:04,000
Speaker 10: and you know, I want to know what he's doing

1430
01:05:04,040 --> 01:05:06,360
Speaker 10: to address it. Sometimes you just have bad luck and

1431
01:05:06,400 --> 01:05:08,440
Speaker 10: you have a long stretch. It's not just this season,

1432
01:05:08,480 --> 01:05:11,080
Speaker 10: though they've lost a lot of close games, but to

1433
01:05:11,120 --> 01:05:14,360
Speaker 10: be fair, they've also they've also beaten some teams they've

1434
01:05:14,360 --> 01:05:16,960
Speaker 10: had no business beating so but there have been a

1435
01:05:16,960 --> 01:05:18,720
Speaker 10: lot of them. That would be the one question I

1436
01:05:18,720 --> 01:05:23,320
Speaker 10: would want him to answer. Everything else about him really

1437
01:05:23,520 --> 01:05:26,280
Speaker 10: fits well at a place like Michigan. I think he

1438
01:05:26,360 --> 01:05:28,760
Speaker 10: also loved Marcus Freeman, but I think he would have

1439
01:05:28,760 --> 01:05:31,840
Speaker 10: been a great candidate Notre Dame. You know, places like

1440
01:05:31,880 --> 01:05:35,400
Speaker 10: that really fit Matt and I think that would be

1441
01:05:35,640 --> 01:05:37,320
Speaker 10: a guy that I would really keep an eye on

1442
01:05:37,400 --> 01:05:39,040
Speaker 10: if Jim chooses to go to the NFL.

1443
01:05:39,760 --> 01:05:42,960
Speaker 2: What do you see happening National Championship game? It's amazing

1444
01:05:43,000 --> 01:05:46,520
Speaker 2: that TCU is what all these games they You know,

1445
01:05:46,640 --> 01:05:50,040
Speaker 2: they have the big win over Michigan. Michigan destroyed Ohio

1446
01:05:50,200 --> 01:05:52,880
Speaker 2: State off the road, and yet there's still thirteen point

1447
01:05:52,880 --> 01:05:56,360
Speaker 2: one hundred dogs to Georgia, a team that is trying

1448
01:05:56,360 --> 01:05:58,440
Speaker 2: to win a second national championship with all the great

1449
01:05:58,520 --> 01:06:01,280
Speaker 2: quarterbacks who have come through there. It is Stetson Bennett

1450
01:06:01,320 --> 01:06:03,640
Speaker 2: the third trying to win back to back. So how

1451
01:06:03,640 --> 01:06:04,560
Speaker 2: do you size this one up?

1452
01:06:05,000 --> 01:06:07,919
Speaker 10: And Stetson four, Although Stetson three, his dad would take

1453
01:06:07,960 --> 01:06:09,880
Speaker 10: that if you want to give it to him. But

1454
01:06:10,880 --> 01:06:15,320
Speaker 10: I think the great dutch Meyer at TCU once told

1455
01:06:15,320 --> 01:06:18,640
Speaker 10: his frogs fight him until hell freezes over and then

1456
01:06:18,720 --> 01:06:22,000
Speaker 10: fight him on the ice. Yeah, that's what TCU will do,

1457
01:06:22,640 --> 01:06:27,880
Speaker 10: and absent Georgia catastrophe, I think the line will will

1458
01:06:27,920 --> 01:06:31,200
Speaker 10: be hovering right around it. I think TCU will fight them,

1459
01:06:31,560 --> 01:06:34,280
Speaker 10: they'll threaten them, and I think I think Georgia will

1460
01:06:34,360 --> 01:06:35,800
Speaker 10: end up winning by double figures.

1461
01:06:36,080 --> 01:06:38,240
Speaker 3: Okay, Race, we appreciate it.

1462
01:06:38,520 --> 01:06:40,320

1488
01:07:52,600 --> 01:07:56,920
Speaker 2: It's a big one regular season forty seven thirty seven

1489
01:07:56,960 --> 01:08:02,960
Speaker 2: and three Bowl season. He's sixteen and one combined sixty

1490
01:08:03,040 --> 01:08:04,640
Speaker 2: seven fifty.

1491
01:08:04,320 --> 01:08:06,080
Speaker 3: Three at four.

1492
01:08:07,240 --> 01:08:10,240
Speaker 2: Pretty good, I must say so myself. How about that

1493
01:08:10,880 --> 01:08:15,360
Speaker 2: sixty seven fifty three and four not bad. One game

1494
01:08:15,400 --> 01:08:20,280
Speaker 2: to go, TCU. I've been taking them all season long.

1495
01:08:20,960 --> 01:08:25,599
Speaker 2: They play the same game every single week, a close one.

1496
01:08:25,840 --> 01:08:28,679
Speaker 2: They are getting twelve and a half points against Georgia.

1497
01:08:29,479 --> 01:08:34,759
Speaker 2: Georgia eked one out against Ohio State. So I'm gonna

1498
01:08:34,760 --> 01:08:37,880
Speaker 2: take TCU here. They're plus twelve and a half.

1499
01:08:37,960 --> 01:08:40,480
Speaker 3: I want you to buy it. Up to plus thirteen,

1500
01:08:40,560 --> 01:08:41,519
Speaker 3: so my a half point.

1501
01:08:42,000 --> 01:08:45,639
Speaker 2: I'm gonna take Georgia to win the game because Stetson

1502
01:08:45,760 --> 01:08:50,040
Speaker 2: Bennett the third, I gotta tell you, kid's got some moxie,

1503
01:08:50,160 --> 01:08:52,320
Speaker 2: and I should call him a kid. He's in his

1504
01:08:52,400 --> 01:08:57,280
Speaker 2: twelfth season at Georgia. So I'm gonna take TCU plus thirteen.

1505
01:08:57,439 --> 01:09:00,400
Speaker 2: Georgia wins the game, though by a field goal, but

1506
01:09:00,560 --> 01:09:04,400
Speaker 2: take TCU. By the way, TCU looks like an NFL team,

1507
01:09:04,479 --> 01:09:06,360
Speaker 2: They're that big, and I wouldn't be surprised if they

1508
01:09:06,400 --> 01:09:08,120
Speaker 2: win the game out right, and I will be taking

1509
01:09:08,160 --> 01:09:08,960
Speaker 2: them on the money line.

1510
01:09:09,320 --> 01:09:13,120
Speaker 3: But for now, Georgia by three, TCU covers the spread.

1511
01:09:13,439 --> 01:09:16,120
Speaker 2: Let's go to the NFL Week eighteen, final week of

1512
01:09:16,160 --> 01:09:17,360
Speaker 2: the regular season, five and.

1513
01:09:17,400 --> 01:09:20,240
Speaker 3: One last week. You're welcome, fifty.

1514
01:09:19,880 --> 01:09:22,519
Speaker 2: Nine forty four and one of the season. I'm the

1515
01:09:22,560 --> 01:09:25,920
Speaker 2: best in the business. I mean, how about that. Let's

1516
01:09:25,960 --> 01:09:28,600
Speaker 2: get right to the games. A couple of games on Saturday.

1517
01:09:29,040 --> 01:09:32,160
Speaker 2: I'm taking both of them, the Chiefs minus nine and

1518
01:09:32,200 --> 01:09:35,160
Speaker 2: a half at the Raiders. Chiefs have a lot to

1519
01:09:35,160 --> 01:09:38,559
Speaker 2: play for Raiders. They have completely mailed it in. They

1520
01:09:38,560 --> 01:09:42,320
Speaker 2: are tanking. I have the Chiefs winning by fourteen points.

1521
01:09:42,360 --> 01:09:46,200
Speaker 2: They cover the spread. The Jaguars taking on the Titans,

1522
01:09:46,720 --> 01:09:50,960
Speaker 2: Jags trying to make the playoffs. Trevor Lawrence coming out party.

1523
01:09:51,280 --> 01:09:55,679
Speaker 2: He is announcing himself. It's amazing. He's really good. Jags

1524
01:09:55,720 --> 01:09:59,400
Speaker 2: are at home. They're really good. Titans. They're playing with

1525
01:09:59,520 --> 01:10:02,439
Speaker 2: quarterback I've never heard of. The Jags win. They cover

1526
01:10:02,520 --> 01:10:05,920
Speaker 2: the spread, the Jags by fourteen points at home. They're

1527
01:10:05,960 --> 01:10:09,519
Speaker 2: going to the playoffs. Everyone. We go to Pittsburgh. The

1528
01:10:09,560 --> 01:10:12,120
Speaker 2: Browns plus three take it on the Steelers. I know

1529
01:10:12,120 --> 01:10:14,360
Speaker 2: the Steelers have to win this game. I know Tomlin's

1530
01:10:14,400 --> 01:10:16,519
Speaker 2: a great coach, probably the best coach in the league.

1531
01:10:16,640 --> 01:10:19,000
Speaker 2: The Browns are close in every game, though, by the

1532
01:10:19,080 --> 01:10:22,640
Speaker 2: half point, Browns plus three and a half, I have

1533
01:10:22,760 --> 01:10:25,400
Speaker 2: the Browns winning the game out right. Don't know why,

1534
01:10:25,479 --> 01:10:27,960
Speaker 2: I just do. This is the type of game the

1535
01:10:28,040 --> 01:10:30,800
Speaker 2: Jets win, the game that doesn't matter, the game that

1536
01:10:30,880 --> 01:10:33,360
Speaker 2: spoils the Dolphins season. Of course, this is the game

1537
01:10:33,400 --> 01:10:37,080
Speaker 2: they win. I fucking hate them. The Jets minus one

1538
01:10:37,200 --> 01:10:39,800
Speaker 2: take it on the Dolphins did Miami. The Jets of

1539
01:10:39,840 --> 01:10:45,240
Speaker 2: course win this game, and the Dolphins listen enough, listen closely.

1540
01:10:45,600 --> 01:10:48,719
Speaker 2: They signed Mike Glennon. That's how desperate they are. Jets

1541
01:10:48,760 --> 01:10:52,160
Speaker 2: win by four points. They cover the spread. Packers must win,

1542
01:10:52,479 --> 01:10:56,200
Speaker 2: Lions must win. It's a winner, go home, it's actually

1543
01:10:56,640 --> 01:10:58,760
Speaker 2: a winner. Go on the road and play in the playoffs.

1544
01:10:58,880 --> 01:11:02,040
Speaker 2: How about that? The Packers are minus four and a

1545
01:11:02,080 --> 01:11:03,760
Speaker 2: half at Lambeau.

1546
01:11:03,880 --> 01:11:06,479
Speaker 3: I love the Lions, I do. I hate to do this.

1547
01:11:06,680 --> 01:11:09,120
Speaker 3: Gobs had a great season, Campbell's done a great job.

1548
01:11:09,640 --> 01:11:12,960
Speaker 3: But it's Aaron Rodgers and it's at Lambeau, and I'm

1549
01:11:12,960 --> 01:11:13,840
Speaker 3: not listen.

1550
01:11:14,000 --> 01:11:16,880
Speaker 2: I'm either taking the Packers or ain't taking the game?

1551
01:11:17,040 --> 01:11:17,479
Speaker 3: All right?

1552
01:11:17,880 --> 01:11:19,879
Speaker 2: Buy it down at half point. You have the Packers

1553
01:11:19,920 --> 01:11:22,839
Speaker 2: minus four at home. The Packers win by ten points

1554
01:11:22,840 --> 01:11:26,680
Speaker 2: over the Lions. The Seahawks minus six taking on the

1555
01:11:26,760 --> 01:11:30,519
Speaker 2: Rams in Seattle. I have the Seahawks winning this game,

1556
01:11:30,560 --> 01:11:34,360
Speaker 2: and quite frankly, Gino Smith should be the MVP. Seahawks

1557
01:11:34,360 --> 01:11:37,719
Speaker 2: win by fourteen points at home. Those are the picks.

1558
01:11:37,760 --> 01:11:39,120
Speaker 3: Everyone. Good luck.

1559
01:11:40,360 --> 01:11:43,040
Speaker 2: Chris Sims with us every week PFT with Mike Florio

1560
01:11:43,120 --> 01:11:47,759
Speaker 2: on Peacock Unbuttoned Podcast, Football Night in America, Sunday Night Football.

1561
01:11:47,800 --> 01:11:50,519
Speaker 3: He's probably with the ESPN's Instagram account. We'll get to that.

1562
01:11:51,120 --> 01:11:53,920
Speaker 2: It just say he's got his dukes up for ready,

1563
01:11:54,840 --> 01:11:57,559
Speaker 2: But Chris, let's start with the news of the week

1564
01:11:57,640 --> 01:12:00,599
Speaker 2: and perhaps the news of the year. To more Hamlin,

1565
01:12:00,680 --> 01:12:03,240
Speaker 2: who as we tape this, I will give you the

1566
01:12:03,320 --> 01:12:08,240
Speaker 2: latest update. He has shown remarkable improvement, according to his family,

1567
01:12:08,320 --> 01:12:11,639
Speaker 2: according to the doctors, according to the Buffalo Bills, he's

1568
01:12:11,720 --> 01:12:17,240
Speaker 2: actually gripping family members' hands, which is super encouraging. We

1569
01:12:17,280 --> 01:12:19,280
Speaker 2: should all still be praying for him. He's not out

1570
01:12:19,320 --> 01:12:22,240
Speaker 2: of the woods yet. And Chris Sims is with us

1571
01:12:22,280 --> 01:12:24,840
Speaker 2: right now when I'm just you know, I think it's

1572
01:12:24,960 --> 01:12:26,880
Speaker 2: the place we have to start. Chris, kind of take

1573
01:12:26,960 --> 01:12:29,280
Speaker 2: us through where you were put us in your head

1574
01:12:29,320 --> 01:12:31,160
Speaker 2: as you saw that entire thing unfold.

1575
01:12:31,800 --> 01:12:35,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, that's maybe the most shocking moment in

1576
01:12:35,120 --> 01:12:37,760
Speaker 6: the history of the NFL, right there. Yeah, you know,

1577
01:12:37,960 --> 01:12:41,200
Speaker 6: let alone of his Monday night football, it looked like,

1578
01:12:41,680 --> 01:12:44,280
Speaker 6: you know, through two drives there we're going, I mean,

1579
01:12:44,400 --> 01:12:46,960
Speaker 6: Burrow's feeling it. We're gonna have a great one here.

1580
01:12:47,080 --> 01:12:50,040
Speaker 6: They're gonna go back and forth. So I think the

1581
01:12:50,080 --> 01:12:52,160
Speaker 6: magnitude of the game and all that, and then to

1582
01:12:52,240 --> 01:12:55,320
Speaker 6: have it just you know, live and in color in

1583
01:12:55,360 --> 01:12:58,519
Speaker 6: your living room. And hey, when he first went down,

1584
01:12:58,600 --> 01:13:00,760
Speaker 6: you go, Okay, you know, man, I hope he's not

1585
01:13:00,880 --> 01:13:03,280
Speaker 6: hurt too bad. Right, you go through the Oh, I

1586
01:13:03,320 --> 01:13:05,880
Speaker 6: wonder is his neck? Is his head? What is it?

1587
01:13:06,439 --> 01:13:08,599
Speaker 6: And then we came back from the first commercial break

1588
01:13:08,640 --> 01:13:12,920
Speaker 6: and they like showed Sean McDermott and he's pacing and

1589
01:13:12,960 --> 01:13:14,960
Speaker 6: I was like, whoa, this is this is serious? Like

1590
01:13:15,000 --> 01:13:17,200
Speaker 6: what's going on here? Like there's something more? When you

1591
01:13:17,240 --> 01:13:19,679
Speaker 6: saw guys praying and then they went to commercial break again,

1592
01:13:20,120 --> 01:13:22,000
Speaker 6: and then when they came back to that next one,

1593
01:13:22,000 --> 01:13:24,799
Speaker 6: and that was when you saw Josh Allen and guys

1594
01:13:24,840 --> 01:13:28,240
Speaker 6: crying and you went, holy crap, did he die? This

1595
01:13:28,479 --> 01:13:30,559
Speaker 6: is somebody dead on the field. Is that what's going on?

1596
01:13:30,600 --> 01:13:33,320
Speaker 6: I mean that's what I started to think. And of course, yeah,

1597
01:13:33,400 --> 01:13:37,799
Speaker 6: basically he did. And thank God for the medical people

1598
01:13:37,880 --> 01:13:41,559
Speaker 6: on both you know, both teams, everything that was in

1599
01:13:41,880 --> 01:13:46,240
Speaker 6: you know place there as far as the hospital, the equipment, everything.

1600
01:13:46,280 --> 01:13:49,080
Speaker 6: I mean, that was the NFL at its finest figuring

1601
01:13:49,120 --> 01:13:53,360
Speaker 6: that whole thing out. That was But yeah, that injury

1602
01:13:53,960 --> 01:13:58,200
Speaker 6: football being America's game, there's nothing bigger in our country

1603
01:13:58,280 --> 01:14:01,160
Speaker 6: as far as entertainment than the NF fell, you know,

1604
01:14:01,240 --> 01:14:02,920
Speaker 6: and I think when you take into we don't want

1605
01:14:02,960 --> 01:14:05,000
Speaker 6: to see that happen to any human. I'm an x

1606
01:14:05,120 --> 01:14:09,160
Speaker 6: NFL player and I love the NFL. It felt like,

1607
01:14:09,439 --> 01:14:14,640
Speaker 6: you know, I was watching a family member sick or

1608
01:14:14,720 --> 01:14:16,800
Speaker 6: dying on the on the you know, on the bed

1609
01:14:16,840 --> 01:14:20,000
Speaker 6: in the hospital. It was a crushing blow that, you know,

1610
01:14:20,080 --> 01:14:22,280
Speaker 6: I'm still trying to get over, as we said here now.

1611
01:14:22,680 --> 01:14:23,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you're not alone.

1612
01:14:23,720 --> 01:14:27,320
Speaker 2: I think I think former players are are really struggling

1613
01:14:27,360 --> 01:14:30,519
Speaker 2: with it from a mental standpoint, current players, obviously, the

1614
01:14:30,520 --> 01:14:32,519
Speaker 2: players on that field, and then the fans who love

1615
01:14:32,600 --> 01:14:36,360
Speaker 2: the sport so much. I don't care what anyone says.

1616
01:14:37,080 --> 01:14:39,479
Speaker 2: Most fans, the majority, they hate to see that. They

1617
01:14:39,479 --> 01:14:41,760
Speaker 2: don't want to see that. That's not what they what

1618
01:14:41,800 --> 01:14:44,160
Speaker 2: they signed up for. It's something I've never seen before

1619
01:14:44,160 --> 01:14:47,040
Speaker 2: in forty years of watching football. The looks of terror

1620
01:14:47,479 --> 01:14:51,920
Speaker 2: on Josh Allen's face, on Stefan Diggs's face, even Joe

1621
01:14:51,960 --> 01:14:55,120
Speaker 2: Burrow and the Bengals. Yeah, I think it's something we're

1622
01:14:55,160 --> 01:14:56,040
Speaker 2: all going to struggle with.

1623
01:14:56,000 --> 01:14:59,240
Speaker 3: For a while. Chris, Yeah, it's it's it's.

1624
01:14:59,040 --> 01:15:01,040
Speaker 2: Hard to get that out of your Like you start

1625
01:15:01,120 --> 01:15:04,400
Speaker 2: questioning as a fan, what the fuck am I doing?

1626
01:15:04,479 --> 01:15:04,720
Speaker 3: Like this?

1627
01:15:04,880 --> 01:15:07,600
Speaker 2: Is a form of entertainment for me. Why, like you

1628
01:15:07,640 --> 01:15:11,000
Speaker 2: start and players start questioning, well, what that could have

1629
01:15:11,000 --> 01:15:12,680
Speaker 2: happened to me? Or I could have done that to

1630
01:15:12,720 --> 01:15:15,240
Speaker 2: someone else, And so it makes just everyone thinking, you

1631
01:15:15,240 --> 01:15:17,640
Speaker 2: know what, maybe that's not the worst thing in the

1632
01:15:17,640 --> 01:15:19,760
Speaker 2: world that we stop for a second, we pause, and

1633
01:15:19,760 --> 01:15:20,559
Speaker 2: we think about what.

1634
01:15:20,479 --> 01:15:22,240
Speaker 3: The fuck they're doing every single sunday.

1635
01:15:22,360 --> 01:15:24,160
Speaker 6: You know, well, I think there is some of that

1636
01:15:24,160 --> 01:15:26,880
Speaker 6: that is good to your point there, maybe make it

1637
01:15:26,880 --> 01:15:29,439
Speaker 6: a little more human again instead of like what the

1638
01:15:29,720 --> 01:15:31,960
Speaker 6: did you do for my fantasy team? And you know,

1639
01:15:32,280 --> 01:15:35,479
Speaker 6: you didn't win today or you didn't play like you knows.

1640
01:15:35,520 --> 01:15:38,599
Speaker 6: A lot of times football players feel like objects or

1641
01:15:38,760 --> 01:15:41,360
Speaker 6: an object on the shelf of a shopping market right

1642
01:15:41,360 --> 01:15:44,320
Speaker 6: now when fans talk to them, and you know, hopefully, yeah,

1643
01:15:44,360 --> 01:15:47,280
Speaker 6: this brings that back to reality a little bit. And

1644
01:15:47,640 --> 01:15:51,480
Speaker 6: again the game is trying to get safer. Yeah, players,

1645
01:15:51,560 --> 01:15:54,160
Speaker 6: we always as players, you always have a thought of like, ooh,

1646
01:15:54,280 --> 01:15:58,120
Speaker 6: something bad can happen, but get that, but also the

1647
01:15:58,160 --> 01:16:00,719
Speaker 6: love of the game and playing the game takes over

1648
01:16:01,240 --> 01:16:04,679
Speaker 6: and that's the thing. So you know, also with these incidents, yeah,

1649
01:16:04,680 --> 01:16:06,639
Speaker 6: we all want to react to oh man, this is scary.

1650
01:16:06,680 --> 01:16:10,519
Speaker 6: This is crazy, But like you said too, hey, we

1651
01:16:11,120 --> 01:16:12,840
Speaker 6: do a lot of crazy things in life on a

1652
01:16:12,880 --> 01:16:14,840
Speaker 6: daily basis. That I mean, you get in the car

1653
01:16:14,880 --> 01:16:16,960
Speaker 6: every day. There's nothing more dangerous than that. I mean,

1654
01:16:17,000 --> 01:16:19,720
Speaker 6: it's the craziest saying you're driving in Florida. That's like

1655
01:16:20,040 --> 01:16:24,559
Speaker 6: an extra crazy, right, So we all do stuff like that.

1656
01:16:25,000 --> 01:16:27,479
Speaker 6: And to your point what you said, it's you've been

1657
01:16:27,520 --> 01:16:30,320
Speaker 6: watching football your whole life. We've never seen this. It's

1658
01:16:30,439 --> 01:16:32,920
Speaker 6: football was going on before both of us were born.

1659
01:16:33,120 --> 01:16:35,719
Speaker 6: It never really happened. So I do think we got

1660
01:16:35,720 --> 01:16:38,240
Speaker 6: to take that into account. Yeah, we want to make

1661
01:16:38,280 --> 01:16:41,040
Speaker 6: the proper adjustments and make sure we keep everybody safe.

1662
01:16:41,360 --> 01:16:46,280
Speaker 6: But you know, it's still let's realize that it is

1663
01:16:46,520 --> 01:16:49,280
Speaker 6: very rare. And the hits like that happened all the time.

1664
01:16:49,360 --> 01:16:51,160
Speaker 6: How many times did I hit in the chest through

1665
01:16:51,160 --> 01:16:54,360
Speaker 6: my career, I was telling my kids, right, So it's

1666
01:16:54,520 --> 01:16:58,559
Speaker 6: just a rare circumstance. Me with my spleen, right, It's

1667
01:16:58,640 --> 01:17:00,320
Speaker 6: I'm the only guy that I know that you know,

1668
01:17:00,520 --> 01:17:03,720
Speaker 6: was on their deathbed with that scenario right there. And

1669
01:17:04,080 --> 01:17:06,559
Speaker 6: you know, again, it's it's scary. You think about it,

1670
01:17:06,640 --> 01:17:09,280
Speaker 6: but you move on, and you know, you continue to

1671
01:17:09,320 --> 01:17:11,960
Speaker 6: try to do what you love and hopefully I think

1672
01:17:11,960 --> 01:17:13,680
Speaker 6: that's what a lot of players will be able to do.

1673
01:17:13,960 --> 01:17:16,160
Speaker 6: But you said it right at the top. We're getting

1674
01:17:16,200 --> 01:17:20,160
Speaker 6: positive signs about tomorrow, Hammlin. That's the great thing. I

1675
01:17:20,200 --> 01:17:23,320
Speaker 6: think that'll help the Bills be able to process and

1676
01:17:23,360 --> 01:17:26,200
Speaker 6: play better this week. And you know, I'm one. I

1677
01:17:26,240 --> 01:17:29,600
Speaker 6: don't know how you act, but I'm one that you know,

1678
01:17:29,680 --> 01:17:33,360
Speaker 6: pushing forward helps me get over it. It's putting me

1679
01:17:33,400 --> 01:17:35,760
Speaker 6: in a dark room and thinking about it, and oh,

1680
01:17:35,800 --> 01:17:38,800
Speaker 6: I feel so bad to me. That would only take

1681
01:17:38,840 --> 01:17:42,280
Speaker 6: me into darker places. And I think like playing and

1682
01:17:42,280 --> 01:17:45,519
Speaker 6: getting on the practice field will be a great healing,

1683
01:17:46,080 --> 01:17:48,240
Speaker 6: you know, tool for a lot of players and coaches

1684
01:17:48,280 --> 01:17:49,040
Speaker 6: around the NFL.

1685
01:17:49,200 --> 01:17:52,519
Speaker 2: No doubt the criticism of Higgins, who was the second guy,

1686
01:17:52,600 --> 01:17:54,920
Speaker 2: the second person I thought of in this scenario, because

1687
01:17:54,920 --> 01:17:57,640
Speaker 2: he has to live with that, yeah, and we'll have

1688
01:17:57,720 --> 01:18:00,520
Speaker 2: to continue to live with that. The criticism of Higgins

1689
01:18:00,560 --> 01:18:02,840
Speaker 2: for being an aggressive player in that spot.

1690
01:18:02,840 --> 01:18:07,760
Speaker 6: It's ridiculous. It's ridiculous. It's it's it's like, I can't

1691
01:18:07,800 --> 01:18:11,400
Speaker 6: even believe people have gone there. It's just you're searching

1692
01:18:11,720 --> 01:18:14,720
Speaker 6: for headlines or click I mean, the guy caught the

1693
01:18:14,760 --> 01:18:17,600
Speaker 6: ball and turned up field right what he's supposed to

1694
01:18:17,640 --> 01:18:21,559
Speaker 6: do and what everybody's done the whole year. That's just

1695
01:18:21,760 --> 01:18:22,719
Speaker 6: that's just stupid.

1696
01:18:24,680 --> 01:18:27,200
Speaker 2: And if that doesn't happen, he gets credit for playing

1697
01:18:27,280 --> 01:18:29,080
Speaker 2: hard like he's just he's running hard.

1698
01:18:29,120 --> 01:18:30,639
Speaker 3: That's how he plays, that's his style.

1699
01:18:31,960 --> 01:18:33,760
Speaker 6: That's where it's like, again, I just want us to

1700
01:18:33,800 --> 01:18:37,599
Speaker 6: find the fine line here. That's that's what I'm asking for. Yeah,

1701
01:18:37,640 --> 01:18:39,679
Speaker 6: we want to be careful, we want to protect people.

1702
01:18:39,760 --> 01:18:41,720
Speaker 6: Let's not go so crazy now that we don't play

1703
01:18:41,760 --> 01:18:44,280
Speaker 6: football in the backyard for a year because all this

1704
01:18:44,400 --> 01:18:48,000
Speaker 6: could happen, right, That's that's all I'm asking for. There's

1705
01:18:48,040 --> 01:18:51,679
Speaker 6: been hundreds of thousands of football players. Yeah, some have had,

1706
01:18:51,960 --> 01:18:56,000
Speaker 6: you know, issues with life and their body after football.

1707
01:18:56,040 --> 01:18:58,879
Speaker 6: We get that, we know that. But there's still hundreds

1708
01:18:58,880 --> 01:19:01,360
Speaker 6: of thousands that are really good and in really good

1709
01:19:01,400 --> 01:19:02,160
Speaker 6: shape too.

1710
01:19:02,520 --> 01:19:02,720
Speaker 3: You know.

1711
01:19:02,960 --> 01:19:06,280
Speaker 6: And and again this is just a it's a crazy thing.

1712
01:19:06,439 --> 01:19:08,080
Speaker 6: I don't even know how to say it. And it

1713
01:19:08,200 --> 01:19:11,479
Speaker 6: was shocking and it's still shocking, and it's it took

1714
01:19:11,680 --> 01:19:13,560
Speaker 6: it felt weird yesterday and the day to kind of

1715
01:19:13,760 --> 01:19:17,080
Speaker 6: finally talk about the rest of football what's going on? Sure,

1716
01:19:17,120 --> 01:19:19,080
Speaker 6: because you were hurt not only for the player, but

1717
01:19:19,439 --> 01:19:21,800
Speaker 6: you know, I think I was hurt for football itself too,

1718
01:19:21,800 --> 01:19:24,720
Speaker 6: because it just gives one more you know, Oh, it's

1719
01:19:24,760 --> 01:19:26,640
Speaker 6: too dangerous. I don't want my kid to play this.

1720
01:19:26,720 --> 01:19:29,720
Speaker 6: I don't want and I do. I get it, but

1721
01:19:29,880 --> 01:19:32,680
Speaker 6: you know, like I said, it's it's something that you know,

1722
01:19:32,760 --> 01:19:35,000
Speaker 6: we know as a physical sport. It's rough, and we

1723
01:19:35,080 --> 01:19:37,240
Speaker 6: do a lot of crazy things as humans anyways that

1724
01:19:37,280 --> 01:19:38,040
Speaker 6: are very risky.

1725
01:19:38,400 --> 01:19:40,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, and listen, I'm very much like you where I

1726
01:19:40,640 --> 01:19:43,640
Speaker 2: like to move forward and not stay stuck in the

1727
01:19:43,680 --> 01:19:47,120
Speaker 2: present or look backwards. I do look forward and hopefully,

1728
01:19:47,200 --> 01:19:50,720
Speaker 2: well he will have that opportunity where DeMar Hamlin is

1729
01:19:50,760 --> 01:19:54,599
Speaker 2: able to see the amount of affection love that he got,

1730
01:19:54,680 --> 01:19:58,360
Speaker 2: not just from NFL players, from fans, from everyone. Chris like,

1731
01:19:58,400 --> 01:20:01,160
Speaker 2: I look forward to him seeing how much he is loved,

1732
01:20:01,240 --> 01:20:01,599
Speaker 2: you know.

1733
01:20:01,680 --> 01:20:04,559
Speaker 6: Yeah, I agree. It shows you that first off, like

1734
01:20:04,640 --> 01:20:07,720
Speaker 6: we've talked about this, you know this, you know, Hey, yeah,

1735
01:20:07,760 --> 01:20:10,200
Speaker 6: there's a few jerks in the NFL, but for the

1736
01:20:10,200 --> 01:20:14,479
Speaker 6: most part, the NFL is full of great, good people

1737
01:20:14,960 --> 01:20:18,280
Speaker 6: who care about everybody. You know, these are the guys

1738
01:20:18,280 --> 01:20:20,400
Speaker 6: that are the leaders of the high school locker room

1739
01:20:20,439 --> 01:20:22,760
Speaker 6: and the college locker room. And a lot of these

1740
01:20:22,800 --> 01:20:25,800
Speaker 6: guys are come from broken families and had to be

1741
01:20:25,920 --> 01:20:29,320
Speaker 6: fathers and uncles and brothers and and and and they're

1742
01:20:29,360 --> 01:20:31,840
Speaker 6: all they've done is charity. Their whole life is they've

1743
01:20:31,880 --> 01:20:34,960
Speaker 6: tried to grow and become an NFL football player. Yeah,

1744
01:20:35,160 --> 01:20:37,760
Speaker 6: and we'll see. It's it's we're in a weird situation

1745
01:20:37,880 --> 01:20:40,320
Speaker 6: with how they do the AFC playoffs. I get that

1746
01:20:40,479 --> 01:20:43,519
Speaker 6: it's not gonna be fair. Yeah, yeah, it's not gonna

1747
01:20:43,520 --> 01:20:45,880
Speaker 6: be fair. I get that life's not fair though, just

1748
01:20:45,920 --> 01:20:49,320
Speaker 6: Askamar Hamlin. And so that's just the way it goes sometimes.

1749
01:20:49,400 --> 01:20:52,680
Speaker 6: And you know again too, just to shed light or

1750
01:20:52,720 --> 01:20:54,840
Speaker 6: be a little bit on this, but like, if there's

1751
01:20:54,920 --> 01:20:57,200
Speaker 6: two teams that don't give a damn about where to

1752
01:20:57,240 --> 01:20:59,679
Speaker 6: play somebody, it's the teams that are led by Josh

1753
01:20:59,760 --> 01:21:03,439
Speaker 6: Allen and Joe Burrow. Yeah way anywhere, Yeah exactly. If

1754
01:21:03,479 --> 01:21:06,360
Speaker 6: I know those two well to the way I think

1755
01:21:06,400 --> 01:21:09,280
Speaker 6: I do. Tom Brady would be the same way. I mean,

1756
01:21:09,479 --> 01:21:11,840
Speaker 6: those are the kind of guys they're like, hey, then

1757
01:21:11,880 --> 01:21:13,880
Speaker 6: we'll play them wherever they want to play. They want

1758
01:21:13,920 --> 01:21:15,640
Speaker 6: to play in the parking lot. Let's do it like

1759
01:21:16,040 --> 01:21:17,600
Speaker 6: that's the kind of guy they're dealing.

1760
01:21:17,360 --> 01:21:18,160
Speaker 3: With, Mikeya.

1761
01:21:18,200 --> 01:21:20,680
Speaker 2: They're having updates right as to what the NFL is

1762
01:21:20,720 --> 01:21:23,360
Speaker 2: contemplating now, So why don't you just give me?

1763
01:21:24,640 --> 01:21:26,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, those two scenarios.

1764
01:21:26,800 --> 01:21:29,880
Speaker 4: So basically, Adam Schefter was on and saying that there

1765
01:21:29,960 --> 01:21:33,360
Speaker 4: are a lot of different scenarios that the league is considering.

1766
01:21:33,439 --> 01:21:36,160
Speaker 4: One of them is the number one seed in the

1767
01:21:36,200 --> 01:21:39,920
Speaker 4: AFC gets to pick either home field advantage or the bye,

1768
01:21:40,280 --> 01:21:43,360
Speaker 4: and the number two seed gets the alternative. And the

1769
01:21:43,400 --> 01:21:46,640
Speaker 4: other one that they're thinking of is Buffalo or Cincinnati

1770
01:21:47,040 --> 01:21:49,720
Speaker 4: are in the AFC championship game, it will become a

1771
01:21:49,760 --> 01:21:50,880
Speaker 4: neutral sight game.

1772
01:21:51,240 --> 01:21:54,280
Speaker 6: Gosh it, it still doesn't seem like it's fixing all

1773
01:21:54,400 --> 01:21:57,080
Speaker 6: the problems, right, I mean, who's to say that the

1774
01:21:57,120 --> 01:21:59,240
Speaker 6: three seed wouldn't have been the two or one seed.

1775
01:21:59,640 --> 01:22:03,559
Speaker 6: Who's to say, you know, the Ravens wouldn't you know?

1776
01:22:03,640 --> 01:22:06,160
Speaker 6: There's too many things here where I just go, hey,

1777
01:22:06,200 --> 01:22:08,880
Speaker 6: we canceled the game. It doesn't work, and we keep

1778
01:22:08,920 --> 01:22:11,760
Speaker 6: going it's okay, let's not make up a whole nother

1779
01:22:11,840 --> 01:22:14,880
Speaker 6: rule book off of this right now. And also I'll

1780
01:22:14,880 --> 01:22:18,640
Speaker 6: say this too, I mean, I'm sensitive to it. You know,

1781
01:22:18,760 --> 01:22:20,920
Speaker 6: I am as a guy that you know, almost died

1782
01:22:20,920 --> 01:22:24,080
Speaker 6: playing football, but at to say I don't want to

1783
01:22:24,080 --> 01:22:27,200
Speaker 6: see an AFC championship game in a neutral site. That's

1784
01:22:27,240 --> 01:22:29,400
Speaker 6: the part and part of the greatness of the championship

1785
01:22:29,400 --> 01:22:32,320
Speaker 6: games is seeing way can this team go into this

1786
01:22:32,400 --> 01:22:35,800
Speaker 6: team stadium and overcome this obstacle to get to the

1787
01:22:35,840 --> 01:22:40,360
Speaker 6: super Bowl and the fanfare behind all that. So you know,

1788
01:22:40,600 --> 01:22:43,960
Speaker 6: I don't know if that necessarily makes it fair either. Yeah,

1789
01:22:44,000 --> 01:22:45,720
Speaker 6: I don't love that because then I want to sit

1790
01:22:45,720 --> 01:22:47,720
Speaker 6: there and go, well, the way it looked is Cincinnati

1791
01:22:47,800 --> 01:22:49,560
Speaker 6: was gonna win that game. The way it looked to

1792
01:22:49,640 --> 01:22:52,479
Speaker 6: me there and they and so so they just get

1793
01:22:52,479 --> 01:22:55,280
Speaker 6: wiped out of this conversation here. You know. That's That's

1794
01:22:55,360 --> 01:22:57,720
Speaker 6: where I don't know. If it's again, that's what I'm

1795
01:22:57,720 --> 01:23:01,040
Speaker 6: gonna say. Everything they try to do, I would be

1796
01:23:01,040 --> 01:23:02,920
Speaker 6: able to come up with the go, well, that's unfair

1797
01:23:02,960 --> 01:23:05,680
Speaker 6: to this team or that's so nothing's going to be

1798
01:23:05,720 --> 01:23:08,040
Speaker 6: perfect here. Just leave it the way it is, do

1799
01:23:08,120 --> 01:23:10,920
Speaker 6: the winning percentage thing, and we'll go from there. And

1800
01:23:10,960 --> 01:23:14,160
Speaker 6: then two, there's no guarantee the Chiefs are going to

1801
01:23:14,240 --> 01:23:17,479
Speaker 6: beat the Raiders this weekend r the Raiders offenses rolling

1802
01:23:17,600 --> 01:23:20,479
Speaker 6: that Chief defense is not great. We've seen the Chiefs

1803
01:23:20,479 --> 01:23:24,639
Speaker 6: offense kind of you know, lose their motivation here lately,

1804
01:23:25,280 --> 01:23:27,600
Speaker 6: Like that wouldn't be the most shocking thing in the

1805
01:23:27,640 --> 01:23:29,639
Speaker 6: world to me if there was some upset in that way.

1806
01:23:30,000 --> 01:23:32,240
Speaker 2: No, no, and I hear you. I agree with most

1807
01:23:32,280 --> 01:23:35,320
Speaker 2: of it. We saw something that we've never seen before.

1808
01:23:35,400 --> 01:23:38,040
Speaker 2: So yeah, no one knows really how to deal with it,

1809
01:23:38,080 --> 01:23:40,480
Speaker 2: and so everyone's gonna have to make some sort of concessions,

1810
01:23:40,520 --> 01:23:43,559
Speaker 2: including the exactly as to have the AFC playoff works.

1811
01:23:44,160 --> 01:23:47,960
Speaker 2: Chris on the field here, I am wondering if you're

1812
01:23:48,000 --> 01:23:51,120
Speaker 2: the Cowboys, so you're kind of locked into your position.

1813
01:23:51,200 --> 01:23:54,400
Speaker 2: You are locked into your position, But I also know

1814
01:23:54,560 --> 01:23:57,559
Speaker 2: from past conversations with you you got and I remember

1815
01:23:57,600 --> 01:23:59,879
Speaker 2: your dad's giants used to do this a lot parcel

1816
01:24:00,160 --> 01:24:02,640
Speaker 2: where he didn't want your dad and the starters to

1817
01:24:02,680 --> 01:24:05,400
Speaker 2: have too many weeks off before they play another meaningful game.

1818
01:24:05,760 --> 01:24:08,000
Speaker 2: What do you do if you're Mike McCarthy and the Cowboys.

1819
01:24:08,000 --> 01:24:09,760
Speaker 2: Do you arrest your starters? Do you play him? Do

1820
01:24:09,800 --> 01:24:11,240
Speaker 2: you keep it rolling? What do you do here?

1821
01:24:11,600 --> 01:24:17,280
Speaker 6: I would I always like you know, John, keep them playing, right.

1822
01:24:17,600 --> 01:24:19,120
Speaker 6: I think you can say that to like what the

1823
01:24:19,160 --> 01:24:22,479
Speaker 6: New England Patriots and throughout their years they always played.

1824
01:24:22,479 --> 01:24:25,719
Speaker 6: They had a ton of week seventeen or last games

1825
01:24:25,720 --> 01:24:29,360
Speaker 6: of the year right where the game had no meaning,

1826
01:24:29,439 --> 01:24:32,240
Speaker 6: but they would play. You know one, Yeah, it's late

1827
01:24:32,280 --> 01:24:34,439
Speaker 6: in the season. You want to stay in game shape,

1828
01:24:34,479 --> 01:24:36,640
Speaker 6: you want to stay sharp, you don't want to go

1829
01:24:36,720 --> 01:24:39,240
Speaker 6: too much time without you know, having your foot on

1830
01:24:39,280 --> 01:24:41,120
Speaker 6: the gas pedal. And then go oh yeah, yeah, sure

1831
01:24:41,160 --> 01:24:43,519
Speaker 6: we'll we'll find it when we have to, right. I

1832
01:24:43,560 --> 01:24:46,240
Speaker 6: mean again, we saw two number one seeds lose in

1833
01:24:46,280 --> 01:24:48,599
Speaker 6: the first round last year. Yeah, that's the way it went.

1834
01:24:48,920 --> 01:24:52,360
Speaker 6: So that's where it's scary. If I'm Dallas, I'm playing.

1835
01:24:53,120 --> 01:24:57,360
Speaker 6: I'm telling my guys we're playing. I'm because they can

1836
01:24:57,520 --> 01:25:02,679
Speaker 6: still right in theory the one seed if Philadelphia loses,

1837
01:25:03,600 --> 01:25:06,519
Speaker 6: so they do have that to where I'm score I'm

1838
01:25:06,560 --> 01:25:09,920
Speaker 6: scoreboard watching a little bit. Yeah, right, So if I'm

1839
01:25:10,000 --> 01:25:13,240
Speaker 6: I'm we're gonna play, guys, We're gonna play right, and

1840
01:25:13,960 --> 01:25:16,840
Speaker 6: you know, okay, wait, oh yeah, there's Philadelphia's up by

1841
01:25:16,880 --> 01:25:20,400
Speaker 6: twenty eight, We're up by ten. It's the third quarter. Hey,

1842
01:25:20,439 --> 01:25:23,320
Speaker 6: starters get out, Let's go, Chris.

1843
01:25:23,360 --> 01:25:25,800
Speaker 2: Is Daniel Jones forced the Giants to uh to give

1844
01:25:25,840 --> 01:25:27,200
Speaker 2: him the big contract he has?

1845
01:25:27,360 --> 01:25:31,360
Speaker 6: Yes, yeah, he has really Definitely it's yeah, I would

1846
01:25:31,360 --> 01:25:33,680
Speaker 6: be shocked. I think it's coming down the pipe. I

1847
01:25:33,680 --> 01:25:36,719
Speaker 6: don't think it'll be that long after the season. Again,

1848
01:25:36,920 --> 01:25:39,479
Speaker 6: I think as we discussed before the year, right, and

1849
01:25:39,479 --> 01:25:42,679
Speaker 6: then of course during the year, they like Daniel Jones,

1850
01:25:43,120 --> 01:25:45,600
Speaker 6: they realized he did not have a support system to

1851
01:25:45,640 --> 01:25:49,800
Speaker 6: really be successful. We consider here, I think is reasonable,

1852
01:25:50,160 --> 01:25:52,800
Speaker 6: three guys here and go. His support system is not

1853
01:25:52,880 --> 01:25:54,160
Speaker 6: necessarily all that great.

1854
01:25:54,000 --> 01:25:57,320
Speaker 3: Now, but I get yeah, he's doing good.

1855
01:25:57,400 --> 01:26:00,000
Speaker 6: And I mean one of his guys is Richie Jays.

1856
01:26:00,000 --> 01:26:02,680
Speaker 6: He's Richie James bitch right. I mean it's just that's

1857
01:26:02,680 --> 01:26:04,360
Speaker 6: how I say every time he catches the ball. I'm

1858
01:26:04,439 --> 01:26:08,400
Speaker 6: Richie James bitch right. So it's they just elase have

1859
01:26:08,479 --> 01:26:12,280
Speaker 6: gotten good enough to where he's not just totally overwhelmed

1860
01:26:12,280 --> 01:26:15,479
Speaker 6: by pass rush and people in his face and nobody

1861
01:26:15,520 --> 01:26:18,320
Speaker 6: being open, and he continues to play better and better.

1862
01:26:18,439 --> 01:26:21,519
Speaker 6: So yes, they're gonna bring Daniel Jones back. And I

1863
01:26:21,520 --> 01:26:23,639
Speaker 6: think it'll be that type of deal where it's three

1864
01:26:23,760 --> 01:26:26,040
Speaker 6: four year deal where they could probably get out of

1865
01:26:26,080 --> 01:26:28,760
Speaker 6: it after like two years and not be stuck if

1866
01:26:28,760 --> 01:26:29,960
Speaker 6: it does go the wrong way.

1867
01:26:30,240 --> 01:26:31,240
Speaker 4: Asking for a friend.

1868
01:26:31,360 --> 01:26:34,320
Speaker 5: Not that I have any particular team in mind Vegas,

1869
01:26:34,520 --> 01:26:39,080
Speaker 5: but if Daniel Jones, Derek Carr and Jimmy g were

1870
01:26:39,120 --> 01:26:45,320
Speaker 5: all available in what order would you want those three guys?

1871
01:26:46,080 --> 01:26:49,880
Speaker 6: Hey, I'd probably be more of a fan of Carr

1872
01:26:49,920 --> 01:26:54,760
Speaker 6: or Daniel Jones than I would be Garoppolo. Not to

1873
01:26:54,800 --> 01:26:58,840
Speaker 6: say that Garoppolo's not a bad choice there, right, but but.

1874
01:26:58,720 --> 01:27:00,880
Speaker 3: Party's doing it in that all offense come on.

1875
01:27:01,360 --> 01:27:04,080
Speaker 6: Well, that's that's that's that's what I've always been trying

1876
01:27:04,120 --> 01:27:07,120
Speaker 6: to say to people. That was That's been my point

1877
01:27:07,160 --> 01:27:09,559
Speaker 6: when you've heard me ran about teams and all that

1878
01:27:09,600 --> 01:27:13,519
Speaker 6: type of stuff. Right, Uh gosh, I guess if you

1879
01:27:13,640 --> 01:27:15,960
Speaker 6: made me do it right now, it's actually I think

1880
01:27:16,040 --> 01:27:19,439
Speaker 6: closer between Derek Carr and Daniel Jones and than I

1881
01:27:19,439 --> 01:27:22,400
Speaker 6: think maybe the public would think a little bit, but

1882
01:27:22,520 --> 01:27:25,160
Speaker 6: maybe I would roll. I would go Derek Carr there.

1883
01:27:25,720 --> 01:27:27,679
Speaker 6: I would let me be clear.

1884
01:27:27,520 --> 01:27:30,000
Speaker 2: About soThe Christ to mikey A, there is no scenario

1885
01:27:30,160 --> 01:27:33,719
Speaker 2: the Giants are allowing Daniel Jones to go jets.

1886
01:27:34,200 --> 01:27:37,600
Speaker 6: It's like there's no way. He is a giant. He

1887
01:27:37,720 --> 01:27:39,559
Speaker 6: is a Giants all the way, and we don't want

1888
01:27:39,600 --> 01:27:41,200
Speaker 6: him to go to the dark side of the Jets,

1889
01:27:41,280 --> 01:27:42,000
Speaker 6: that's for sure.

1890
01:27:42,439 --> 01:27:44,920
Speaker 4: The best thing for Daniel Jones is that the Jets

1891
01:27:44,960 --> 01:27:48,160
Speaker 4: need a quarterback and are waiting with open arms. Should

1892
01:27:48,200 --> 01:27:48,800
Speaker 4: you let him go?

1893
01:27:49,800 --> 01:27:52,479
Speaker 6: Yeah? Yeah, I know. What do you think Jet fans

1894
01:27:52,520 --> 01:27:55,160
Speaker 6: would actually be happy about having Daniel Jones? I think

1895
01:27:55,200 --> 01:27:58,000
Speaker 6: you wouldn't be Jets and head just like they did

1896
01:27:58,040 --> 01:27:58,879
Speaker 6: with Zach Wilson.

1897
01:27:59,280 --> 01:28:01,240
Speaker 3: Listen, you give us t Brady were not happy. It

1898
01:28:01,240 --> 01:28:01,880
Speaker 3: doesn't matter.

1899
01:28:05,439 --> 01:28:08,280
Speaker 6: I mean, rights to gods. I mean, there's no way

1900
01:28:08,439 --> 01:28:12,040
Speaker 6: he's not the giant. Brian Daball loves him, Ownership loves him,

1901
01:28:12,120 --> 01:28:15,280
Speaker 6: the team loves him. As we said, he does everything

1902
01:28:15,439 --> 01:28:18,559
Speaker 6: right off the field, and we're starting to see if

1903
01:28:18,560 --> 01:28:20,000
Speaker 6: you help him out on the field, he does a

1904
01:28:20,040 --> 01:28:22,679
Speaker 6: lot of things right there too. Jets will have options,

1905
01:28:22,880 --> 01:28:25,280
Speaker 6: and you know, I think Baker Mayfield see how that

1906
01:28:25,320 --> 01:28:28,280
Speaker 6: mends up. You guys could end up in that conversation too, Jets.

1907
01:28:28,280 --> 01:28:28,759
Speaker 6: We'll see.

1908
01:28:28,960 --> 01:28:30,840
Speaker 3: Wait, so what happens to Zach Wilson? Here are we

1909
01:28:30,840 --> 01:28:31,880
Speaker 3: saying he's done? That's it?

1910
01:28:31,960 --> 01:28:34,400
Speaker 2: Even though Robert Sallas swears that he's the future of

1911
01:28:34,439 --> 01:28:35,040
Speaker 2: the franchise.

1912
01:28:35,520 --> 01:28:37,679
Speaker 6: I I don't you know again, you know, I don't

1913
01:28:37,720 --> 01:28:40,479
Speaker 6: agree with how they handled this. I don't you know.

1914
01:28:41,400 --> 01:28:43,600
Speaker 6: They made it there they were he was five and

1915
01:28:43,680 --> 01:28:45,720
Speaker 6: two and everything was good, and they made it all

1916
01:28:45,720 --> 01:28:49,120
Speaker 6: about one guy, all about one guy. It goes against

1917
01:28:49,160 --> 01:28:51,640
Speaker 6: everything we're taught in football. But they made it all

1918
01:28:51,680 --> 01:28:54,960
Speaker 6: about one guy. And then it became a distraction and

1919
01:28:55,000 --> 01:28:56,800
Speaker 6: for the team, and the team took a nose diy

1920
01:28:57,000 --> 01:29:00,439
Speaker 6: right from there on right, and that became an issue.

1921
01:29:00,439 --> 01:29:02,400
Speaker 6: That's where I that's where I didn't love it. And

1922
01:29:02,520 --> 01:29:04,840
Speaker 6: you know my thoughts about the overall if we just

1923
01:29:04,880 --> 01:29:07,960
Speaker 6: got rid of quarterbacks after two years, damn we would

1924
01:29:07,960 --> 01:29:12,280
Speaker 6: have never known Ben Roethlisberger, Terry Bradshaw, Troy Aikman all that.

1925
01:29:13,520 --> 01:29:17,080
Speaker 6: I do believe like organizationally, they probably do want him back.

1926
01:29:17,280 --> 01:29:19,439
Speaker 6: I don't know if it's for the right reasons or

1927
01:29:19,479 --> 01:29:22,040
Speaker 6: more just because he was the number two pick. If

1928
01:29:22,080 --> 01:29:23,920
Speaker 6: it's not for the right reasons, I would go just

1929
01:29:23,960 --> 01:29:26,040
Speaker 6: let him go. Then don't bring him back because you're

1930
01:29:26,520 --> 01:29:28,360
Speaker 6: he was the number two pick and you're afraid that

1931
01:29:28,400 --> 01:29:30,160
Speaker 6: you'll get egg in your face. If he goes somewhere

1932
01:29:30,160 --> 01:29:31,040
Speaker 6: to be successful.

1933
01:29:31,560 --> 01:29:32,960
Speaker 4: I don't know how we got to the Jets.

1934
01:29:33,000 --> 01:29:40,880
Speaker 5: I was just saying, hypothetically, good.

1935
01:29:38,800 --> 01:29:44,360
Speaker 3: For you, Jim Horbough. Where do you see him coaching

1936
01:29:44,400 --> 01:29:44,800
Speaker 3: next year?

1937
01:29:44,840 --> 01:29:47,280
Speaker 2: Like what would be the best fit, because he seemed

1938
01:29:47,320 --> 01:29:48,559
Speaker 2: to be lining up to get him.

1939
01:29:48,439 --> 01:29:50,400
Speaker 3: Chris, Yeah, he should. He's a great coach.

1940
01:29:51,800 --> 01:29:52,280
Speaker 6: I get it.

1941
01:29:52,439 --> 01:29:54,000
Speaker 3: Where do you think he should go if he were

1942
01:29:54,040 --> 01:29:54,880
Speaker 3: to go to the NFL?

1943
01:29:55,439 --> 01:29:55,679
Speaker 8: Yeah?

1944
01:29:55,960 --> 01:29:58,479
Speaker 6: I mean him and Sean Payton are by far the

1945
01:29:58,520 --> 01:30:01,280
Speaker 6: safest bets, right and if you want to turn around

1946
01:30:01,280 --> 01:30:04,080
Speaker 6: at least the culture of your organization there, it makes

1947
01:30:04,120 --> 01:30:08,720
Speaker 6: a lot of sense. Denver certainly would work. I think

1948
01:30:08,760 --> 01:30:11,080
Speaker 6: he could get things in the going in the right direction.

1949
01:30:11,280 --> 01:30:13,360
Speaker 6: And again, I think he can also make it like

1950
01:30:13,600 --> 01:30:16,559
Speaker 6: it's not all about the quarterback here. I'm Jim Harball.

1951
01:30:16,720 --> 01:30:20,240
Speaker 6: We're gonna run io and io and play action pass

1952
01:30:20,320 --> 01:30:22,800
Speaker 6: and it's not gonna be about Russell throwing at forty

1953
01:30:22,800 --> 01:30:25,919
Speaker 6: five times a game, which you could be a positive.

1954
01:30:25,920 --> 01:30:28,080
Speaker 6: It could take the pressure off. They got a defense.

1955
01:30:28,160 --> 01:30:30,840
Speaker 6: We know that Carolina is another team that I think

1956
01:30:31,000 --> 01:30:34,080
Speaker 6: is you know my thoughts on them, They got real talent.

1957
01:30:34,600 --> 01:30:36,280
Speaker 6: I don't think it's gonna take a lot to kind

1958
01:30:36,280 --> 01:30:38,120
Speaker 6: of get them going in the right track. We saw

1959
01:30:38,160 --> 01:30:40,080
Speaker 6: Steve Wilkes do a pretty damn good job once they

1960
01:30:40,080 --> 01:30:41,160
Speaker 6: started playing the right way.

1961
01:30:41,479 --> 01:30:45,080

01:31:03,479 --> 01:31:04,160
Speaker 2: won the game.

1968
01:31:04,680 --> 01:31:06,639
Speaker 3: Oh I knew it. I listen.

1969
01:31:07,840 --> 01:31:10,280
Speaker 6: See, But that just tells you about football players.

1970
01:31:10,320 --> 01:31:10,519
Speaker 3: Man.

1971
01:31:11,320 --> 01:31:13,840
Speaker 6: You know again, I'm not trying to say my my

1972
01:31:13,960 --> 01:31:16,719
Speaker 6: situation was dire. I wasn't dire like that. They weren't

1973
01:31:16,760 --> 01:31:21,800
Speaker 6: resuscincinating my heart. But football players play football, and I,

1974
01:31:22,160 --> 01:31:24,160
Speaker 6: you know, lost aine pines of blood. How to get

1975
01:31:24,160 --> 01:31:28,920
Speaker 6: a transfusion. And by week fifteen that year, I was

1976
01:31:28,960 --> 01:31:32,120
Speaker 6: feeling good and I went to the doctor to go,

1977
01:31:32,400 --> 01:31:35,880
Speaker 6: I think I can play again. I think I'm good

1978
01:31:35,920 --> 01:31:38,360
Speaker 6: to play. And I can still remember him writing on

1979
01:31:38,400 --> 01:31:41,120
Speaker 6: the you know the table you sit on that's got

1980
01:31:41,120 --> 01:31:44,320
Speaker 6: the paper right that they rip off. I can remember

1981
01:31:44,640 --> 01:31:47,679
Speaker 6: him writing on the paper, like the record of our team,

1982
01:31:48,280 --> 01:31:52,280
Speaker 6: who we were playing, my injury, and then like he

1983
01:31:52,320 --> 01:31:54,640
Speaker 6: wrote like a big question mark, basically like saying like

1984
01:31:54,640 --> 01:31:56,360
Speaker 6: why the fuck do you want to play? Right now?

1985
01:31:56,560 --> 01:31:56,920
Speaker 3: Right?

1986
01:31:57,200 --> 01:31:58,519
Speaker 6: And then you know, I don't know if you could

1987
01:31:58,560 --> 01:32:02,040
Speaker 6: take a hit, And that's basically but that's that's I'm

1988
01:32:02,080 --> 01:32:04,280
Speaker 6: not shocked to hear that from DeMar Hamley. That's what

1989
01:32:04,320 --> 01:32:07,000
Speaker 6: it sounds. He is. He loves the game, and he's

1990
01:32:07,000 --> 01:32:08,479
Speaker 6: been invested in his whole life.

1991
01:32:09,120 --> 01:32:12,280
Speaker 2: The great news is he's communicating that is the awesome

1992
01:32:12,520 --> 01:32:16,599
Speaker 2: best news we've heard all week, and but it also

1993
01:32:16,760 --> 01:32:20,080
Speaker 2: lends to just how important this thing is. Wait until

1994
01:32:20,120 --> 01:32:24,439
Speaker 2: Hamlin realizes no one cared about the game anymore. He's

1995
01:32:24,479 --> 01:32:29,240
Speaker 2: gonna be like what over me? Yeah, oh my god.

1996
01:32:29,280 --> 01:32:31,200
Speaker 3: Josh Allen's gonna be like, who won the game? What

1997
01:32:31,240 --> 01:32:32,160
Speaker 3: are you talking about?

1998
01:32:33,479 --> 01:32:35,320
Speaker 6: We didn't care about the game?

1999
01:32:35,760 --> 01:32:38,679
Speaker 3: The game unbelievable. All right, three quick games.

2000
01:32:38,720 --> 01:32:40,960
Speaker 2: The game isn't really matter this weekend, and then we'll

2001
01:32:41,000 --> 01:32:42,519
Speaker 2: get to your beef with the ESPN. Then we get

2002
01:32:42,560 --> 01:32:46,880
Speaker 2: yet here, Uh, Packers, Lions, your thoughts just just go Packers.

2003
01:32:46,280 --> 01:32:47,719
Speaker 6: I think it's gonna be a really good game.

2004
01:32:47,960 --> 01:32:48,200
Speaker 3: I do.

2005
01:32:48,320 --> 01:32:50,280
Speaker 6: I don't even care if the Lions have nothing to

2006
01:32:50,280 --> 01:32:52,240
Speaker 6: play for. I still think they're gonna be very dangerous

2007
01:32:52,240 --> 01:32:55,920
Speaker 6: in this matchup, you know. And I think it's you know,

2008
01:32:55,960 --> 01:32:57,599
Speaker 6: they're a team that even if they're out, I think

2009
01:32:57,640 --> 01:33:00,320
Speaker 6: they're they're playing for next year a little bit. They're

2010
01:33:00,320 --> 01:33:02,759
Speaker 6: not on this stage a whole lot. I think they'll

2011
01:33:02,840 --> 01:33:05,400
Speaker 6: enjoy kicking Aaron Rodgers and Green Bay out. But I

2012
01:33:05,479 --> 01:33:08,280
Speaker 6: do think this right, both these teams like to run

2013
01:33:08,320 --> 01:33:10,840
Speaker 6: the football. I think it's gonna be a game that's

2014
01:33:10,880 --> 01:33:13,719
Speaker 6: gonna be won through the air. You know, both teams

2015
01:33:13,720 --> 01:33:16,080
Speaker 6: sold out to stop the run. The first time they

2016
01:33:16,120 --> 01:33:19,960
Speaker 6: played each other. Rogers played his worst game of his

2017
01:33:20,040 --> 01:33:23,360
Speaker 6: career the first time they played, you know, the bad

2018
01:33:23,400 --> 01:33:27,960
Speaker 6: interceptions He left open people and yards all over the field.

2019
01:33:27,960 --> 01:33:30,040
Speaker 6: He should have thrown for four hundred and fifty yards

2020
01:33:30,080 --> 01:33:33,040
Speaker 6: and four touchdowns. I mean it was, it was unbelievable.

2021
01:33:33,320 --> 01:33:35,439
Speaker 6: If the Green Bay's gonna win this game, I do

2022
01:33:35,520 --> 01:33:37,280
Speaker 6: think it'll be because Aaron Rodgers gonna have to be

2023
01:33:37,280 --> 01:33:39,720
Speaker 6: aggressive throw in the football. I think we're gonna see

2024
01:33:39,760 --> 01:33:41,800
Speaker 6: a lot of air yards in this one. I'm gonna

2025
01:33:41,800 --> 01:33:43,840
Speaker 6: take Green Bay to win a close one.

2026
01:33:43,960 --> 01:33:45,920
Speaker 2: Are you gonna be shocked that Brady or Rodgers make

2027
01:33:45,960 --> 01:33:47,920
Speaker 2: it to the super Bowl. I mean, you can't be

2028
01:33:48,400 --> 01:33:49,240
Speaker 2: you can't come up.

2029
01:33:49,320 --> 01:33:52,120
Speaker 6: I'd be shocked if they got the super Bowl. If

2030
01:33:52,120 --> 01:33:53,160
Speaker 6: they got the super Bowl.

2031
01:33:53,040 --> 01:33:53,639
Speaker 4: I won't be.

2032
01:33:55,560 --> 01:33:58,719
Speaker 6: Well again, you know, it's it's yeah, it's it's still

2033
01:33:58,760 --> 01:34:03,000
Speaker 6: Tom Brady. I get it. He scary, but damn, I

2034
01:34:03,360 --> 01:34:05,519
Speaker 6: just would be shocked a super Bowl. Maybe win a game,

2035
01:34:05,600 --> 01:34:09,360
Speaker 6: I get that, I do. But to run the table

2036
01:34:09,520 --> 01:34:12,800
Speaker 6: against team I mean, you know, super Bowl teams don't

2037
01:34:12,880 --> 01:34:15,559
Speaker 6: lose thirty five to seven to other teams on the

2038
01:34:15,640 --> 01:34:17,599
Speaker 6: road and do that. I just don't see how they

2039
01:34:17,600 --> 01:34:20,599
Speaker 6: can overcome Philadelphia or the forty nine ers.

2040
01:34:21,040 --> 01:34:23,160
Speaker 2: I realize they don't do that. But human beings also

2041
01:34:23,200 --> 01:34:24,400
Speaker 2: don't play football until.

2042
01:34:24,200 --> 01:34:27,280
Speaker 6: They're nearly no. I get that, I know, I know.

2043
01:34:28,320 --> 01:34:30,760
Speaker 3: You know he has spent more time playing quarterback than

2044
01:34:30,760 --> 01:34:32,479
Speaker 3: he hasn't It is like.

2045
01:34:32,560 --> 01:34:36,840
Speaker 6: It's amazing. It's amazing. It's how awesome he is and

2046
01:34:36,880 --> 01:34:39,040
Speaker 6: how tough he is, and all the little things he's

2047
01:34:39,080 --> 01:34:40,559
Speaker 6: done to kick take care of his body.

2048
01:34:41,080 --> 01:34:43,240
Speaker 2: By the way, Packers Lions is Chris's game something I

2049
01:34:43,280 --> 01:34:45,679
Speaker 2: Football in NBC Patriots Bills.

2050
01:34:46,640 --> 01:34:48,719
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean the big thing is just the Bills

2051
01:34:48,760 --> 01:34:51,960
Speaker 6: and how they can focus and regain their focus and

2052
01:34:52,040 --> 01:34:55,200
Speaker 6: all that. Right, if I totally felt like this, you know,

2053
01:34:55,360 --> 01:34:58,280
Speaker 6: this didn't happen on Monday night and all of that,

2054
01:34:58,760 --> 01:35:01,320
Speaker 6: I'd go, well, the Bills are gonna win by ten,

2055
01:35:01,479 --> 01:35:05,720
Speaker 6: fourteen points. I do think this changes things a little bit, right,

2056
01:35:06,000 --> 01:35:09,479
Speaker 6: I guess I doubt how focused and everybody in Buffalo

2057
01:35:09,600 --> 01:35:12,640
Speaker 6: can be to a degree. And I will say this,

2058
01:35:12,760 --> 01:35:14,759
Speaker 6: I went back and watched a lot of these games

2059
01:35:14,760 --> 01:35:17,880
Speaker 6: for the first time around. Man, New England's defense played

2060
01:35:18,000 --> 01:35:21,519
Speaker 6: really well the first time around. They really did. They

2061
01:35:21,520 --> 01:35:24,280
Speaker 6: did a lot of good things. Force the turnover.

2062
01:35:24,840 --> 01:35:25,080
Speaker 8: You know.

2063
01:35:25,439 --> 01:35:27,719
Speaker 6: My thing with New England is I think they're gonna

2064
01:35:27,760 --> 01:35:30,400
Speaker 6: have to force multiple turnovers if they want to win

2065
01:35:30,439 --> 01:35:32,639
Speaker 6: this game or keep it really close. I just don't

2066
01:35:32,640 --> 01:35:36,240
Speaker 6: trust their offense. How can you They got dominated right,

2067
01:35:36,439 --> 01:35:38,479
Speaker 6: But New England's gonna, to me have to force the

2068
01:35:38,560 --> 01:35:41,040
Speaker 6: issue a little bit. I know their defense is good,

2069
01:35:41,320 --> 01:35:45,599
Speaker 6: but just being good and changing coverages doesn't beat Josh

2070
01:35:45,640 --> 01:35:47,960
Speaker 6: Allen and the Joe Burrows of the world. And you

2071
01:35:48,040 --> 01:35:51,720
Speaker 6: gotta take some calculated risk, right, oh might. I mean,

2072
01:35:51,720 --> 01:35:54,240
Speaker 6: if they call this play, we might get burned. But

2073
01:35:54,320 --> 01:35:56,559
Speaker 6: we're gonna play the percentages they don't call this play,

2074
01:35:56,560 --> 01:35:59,320
Speaker 6: and I'm gonna bring this crazy blitz or do whatever

2075
01:35:59,640 --> 01:36:02,160
Speaker 6: and take a chance here. You have to do some

2076
01:36:02,280 --> 01:36:04,880
Speaker 6: of that. They again, they played great defense the first

2077
01:36:04,920 --> 01:36:07,840
Speaker 6: time around. It didn't matter. There were so many players

2078
01:36:07,840 --> 01:36:09,599
Speaker 6: where I went, oh, this they got everybody cover, this

2079
01:36:09,680 --> 01:36:12,799
Speaker 6: is perfect and he still ran or scrambled or does whatever,

2080
01:36:12,840 --> 01:36:15,160
Speaker 6: and you just go, yeah, that's why you got to

2081
01:36:15,200 --> 01:36:17,360
Speaker 6: take a chance every now and then. I think it'll

2082
01:36:17,400 --> 01:36:19,000
Speaker 6: be close, though, but I do think the Bills win.

2083
01:36:19,200 --> 01:36:21,080
Speaker 6: I said twenty one to seventeen.

2084
01:36:21,280 --> 01:36:23,559
Speaker 2: Last game, and Mikey told me right before he came

2085
01:36:23,600 --> 01:36:25,760
Speaker 2: on that Derek Henry has now practiced two games in

2086
01:36:25,760 --> 01:36:27,439
Speaker 2: a row. So the Titans are gonna try to win

2087
01:36:27,439 --> 01:36:30,120
Speaker 2: this thing. Titans Jags are boy Trevor Lawrence. Man, here

2088
01:36:30,160 --> 01:36:32,600
Speaker 2: we go, Titans Jags with the chance to get to

2089
01:36:32,640 --> 01:36:33,160
Speaker 2: the playoffs.

2090
01:36:33,200 --> 01:36:36,120
Speaker 6: So you like I like the Jags. I do. I mean,

2091
01:36:36,400 --> 01:36:38,439
Speaker 6: I can't pick the Titans right now with the way

2092
01:36:38,520 --> 01:36:41,240
Speaker 6: the offenses and all that, but let me just say

2093
01:36:41,280 --> 01:36:44,120
Speaker 6: the Titans are like I put them in the category

2094
01:36:44,160 --> 01:36:46,920
Speaker 6: of like the Pittsburgh Stealers. They're one of those teams.

2095
01:36:46,920 --> 01:36:50,360
Speaker 6: As soon as you count them out, they have some

2096
01:36:50,560 --> 01:36:52,880
Speaker 6: crazy game plan and they out hit you, and all

2097
01:36:52,920 --> 01:36:55,040
Speaker 6: of a sudden, you're going, how are they doing this?

2098
01:36:55,400 --> 01:36:55,599
Speaker 3: Right?

2099
01:36:55,920 --> 01:36:58,640
Speaker 6: I don't. I do think they're gonna make this interesting.

2100
01:36:58,720 --> 01:36:59,280
Speaker 3: It's crazy.

2101
01:36:59,360 --> 01:37:02,760
Speaker 6: I don't expect Jacksonville just to steamroll them. Jacksonville's not

2102
01:37:02,800 --> 01:37:05,439
Speaker 6: great to stop in the run, so they're gonna run

2103
01:37:05,600 --> 01:37:08,360
Speaker 6: eat up the clock. Joshua Dobbs at least can do

2104
01:37:08,439 --> 01:37:12,000
Speaker 6: the drop back pass offense to a degree, right, And

2105
01:37:12,240 --> 01:37:15,559
Speaker 6: I do think vrabel and company will have something special

2106
01:37:15,600 --> 01:37:18,320
Speaker 6: on the defensive side to try to make things happen.

2107
01:37:18,479 --> 01:37:20,919
Speaker 6: Jacksonville won't be able to run the ball in Tennessee.

2108
01:37:21,320 --> 01:37:24,680
Speaker 6: So our man Trevor. It was the first matchup in

2109
01:37:24,720 --> 01:37:26,680
Speaker 6: the second half where he let it fly and they

2110
01:37:26,720 --> 01:37:28,240
Speaker 6: became like, oh watch out.

2111
01:37:28,479 --> 01:37:28,679
Speaker 3: Yeah.

2112
01:37:28,880 --> 01:37:30,519
Speaker 6: I think he'll have to make big plays. But I

2113
01:37:30,520 --> 01:37:31,479
Speaker 6: do expect them to win.

2114
01:37:31,720 --> 01:37:34,200
Speaker 2: You are so right about that, though, Like rabel a

2115
01:37:34,200 --> 01:37:36,760
Speaker 2: brown dude, he thinks he can not think he can

2116
01:37:36,800 --> 01:37:37,280
Speaker 2: win this game.

2117
01:37:37,320 --> 01:37:38,400
Speaker 3: He thinks he can take it.

2118
01:37:38,360 --> 01:37:39,200
Speaker 8: To the Super Bowl.

2119
01:37:39,600 --> 01:37:42,000
Speaker 11: Oh yeah, he's going Oh, well, come up with this

2120
01:37:42,080 --> 01:37:45,080
Speaker 11: defensive game plan. We'll run the ball forty times with

2121
01:37:45,200 --> 01:37:49,040
Speaker 11: Derrick Henry, we'll control them, we'll have time of possession

2122
01:37:49,080 --> 01:37:52,280
Speaker 11: at forty two minutes, and we'll go through the whole

2123
01:37:52,320 --> 01:37:53,120
Speaker 11: playoffs like that.

2124
01:37:53,280 --> 01:37:56,080
Speaker 6: Now, stop, Josh Allen. I mean, yes, that's that's the

2125
01:37:56,120 --> 01:37:58,880
Speaker 6: way they think. And I wouldn't count them out from

2126
01:37:58,920 --> 01:38:00,439
Speaker 6: doing something crazy this weekend.

2127
01:38:00,640 --> 01:38:03,400
Speaker 2: It's gonna be an interesting game. All right, let's let's

2128
01:38:03,400 --> 01:38:05,960
Speaker 2: get out of here. PFT with Mike Florio Unbutton podcast,

Speaker 2: Football Night in America, Sunday Night Football.

2130
01:38:08,200 --> 01:38:10,920
Speaker 3: Why are you beefing with ESPN? Quickly? What's going on here?

2131
01:38:12,960 --> 01:38:15,519
Speaker 6: I got no problem with ESPN as a whole. I

2132
01:38:15,560 --> 01:38:18,639
Speaker 6: don't And again you know me too. I mean, you

2133

Speaker 6: guys roast me. I have no problem being roasted about.

2134
01:38:22,439 --> 01:38:25,839
Speaker 6: I have to make a take an opinion on every

2135
01:38:26,120 --> 01:38:30,400
Speaker 6: subject in football, right, That's what I do. Okay, my

2136
01:38:30,520 --> 01:38:33,960
Speaker 6: opinion after the Michael Parsons Von Miller podcast and what

2137
01:38:34,120 --> 01:38:37,599
Speaker 6: I said, the Eagles, you know, would still be really

2138
01:38:37,640 --> 01:38:40,599
Speaker 6: good with Gardner Minshew, and then I just said that

2139
01:38:41,240 --> 01:38:45,000
Speaker 6: Hurts wasn't on the MVP level of Mahomes, Allen and

2140
01:38:45,080 --> 01:38:47,800
Speaker 6: Burrow I didn't say they were better with Minchew. I've

2141
01:38:47,840 --> 01:38:51,040
Speaker 6: made that clear during that segment when I said it, Yes,

2142
01:38:51,080 --> 01:38:53,000
Speaker 6: they're their best with Jayleen RDS. But I just said

2143
01:38:53,040 --> 01:38:54,519
Speaker 6: that they would still be a really good team with

2144
01:38:54,600 --> 01:38:59,600
Speaker 6: Gardner Minshew. All right, ESPN, instag Sports Center, Instagram. I

2145
01:38:59,680 --> 01:39:02,599
Speaker 6: say that the week before the Cowboys game, the Eagles

2146
01:39:02,600 --> 01:39:04,320
Speaker 6: go up and down the field on one of the

2147
01:39:04,320 --> 01:39:07,880
Speaker 6: best defenses in football with Gardner Minshew three hundred and

2148
01:39:07,920 --> 01:39:11,640
Speaker 6: fifty plus yards, two touchdowns, throws, two interceptions, one of

2149
01:39:11,680 --> 01:39:13,240
Speaker 6: them I mean he threw it right here in the

2150
01:39:13,240 --> 01:39:15,200
Speaker 6: receiver and the dB took it out of his hands.

2151
01:39:15,479 --> 01:39:19,240
Speaker 6: They fumble twice the running back in bad situations where

2152
01:39:19,280 --> 01:39:22,920
Speaker 6: they have control of the game. So nothing said like, hey, Chris,

2153
01:39:22,960 --> 01:39:24,760
Speaker 6: maybe you were right. They are still pretty good with

2154
01:39:24,800 --> 01:39:27,200
Speaker 6: Gardner Minshew. But then we wait to the Saints game

2155
01:39:27,479 --> 01:39:29,800
Speaker 6: and their offense gets stymied and they don't play good

2156
01:39:29,800 --> 01:39:32,519
Speaker 6: and Gardner doesn't do anything great. Then we re released

2157
01:39:32,520 --> 01:39:36,360
Speaker 6: the same Instagram comment. But that's where I had a problem.

2158
01:39:36,600 --> 01:39:39,840
Speaker 6: We're not gonna cherry pick, like, oh wait for every

2159
01:39:39,880 --> 01:39:42,639
Speaker 6: good game he plays will disappear, every bad game again,

2160
01:39:42,680 --> 01:39:45,080
Speaker 6: will put him back out there and put the quote on.

2161
01:39:45,400 --> 01:39:47,200
Speaker 6: And that's where I just thought that was a BS

2162
01:39:47,240 --> 01:39:48,880
Speaker 6: move by them, and I didn't like that.

2163
01:39:49,200 --> 01:39:51,800
Speaker 2: I know some people over there. If you want me

2164
01:39:51,840 --> 01:39:53,880
Speaker 2: to take care of it, I will. I'll tell listen,

2165
01:39:54,040 --> 01:39:56,360
Speaker 2: what you're saying, essentially is the only people that could

2166
01:39:56,360 --> 01:39:58,599
Speaker 2: do that to you are me, Billy and mikey Ya.

2167
01:39:58,640 --> 01:39:58,960
Speaker 3: That's it.

2168
01:39:59,520 --> 01:40:02,240
Speaker 6: Well, like, have a relationship with me, or at least

2169
01:40:02,320 --> 01:40:04,400
Speaker 6: you guys give me the form to talk about and

2170
01:40:04,400 --> 01:40:08,840
Speaker 6: discuss these subjects after you roasted me. Right, I even

2171
01:40:08,880 --> 01:40:11,000
Speaker 6: said during my podcast, I said, yeah, well, what's not

2172
01:40:11,040 --> 01:40:12,679
Speaker 6: gonna happen is they're not gonna have me on Sports

2173
01:40:12,720 --> 01:40:15,240
Speaker 6: Center to discuss this. So that's when I went off

2174
01:40:15,280 --> 01:40:16,880
Speaker 6: on them and I was, you know, f them and

2175
01:40:17,080 --> 01:40:17,880
Speaker 6: f that and all that.

2176
01:40:18,240 --> 01:40:21,080
Speaker 2: By the way, if you think sims like seriously, i've

2177
01:40:21,479 --> 01:40:23,320
Speaker 2: known him for a while now, like he can't handle

2178
01:40:23,320 --> 01:40:26,200
Speaker 2: the criticism and he doesn't laugh at most of it,

2179
01:40:26,240 --> 01:40:27,800
Speaker 2: you're getting out of your mind because he knows.

2180
01:40:27,840 --> 01:40:28,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right.

2181
01:40:28,520 --> 01:40:30,880
Speaker 6: It's it's people who don't really listen to me and

2182
01:40:30,920 --> 01:40:33,360
Speaker 6: then they just see a quote every now and then

2183
01:40:33,360 --> 01:40:35,000
Speaker 6: and I'm gonna go, like, listen to me for a

2184
01:40:35,080 --> 01:40:37,439
Speaker 6: show or something and get to know me a little

2185
01:40:37,439 --> 01:40:40,599
Speaker 6: bit before you cast me off as an idiot from

2186
01:40:40,640 --> 01:40:41,200
Speaker 6: New Jersey.

2187
01:40:41,320 --> 01:40:43,920
