I'm not gonna say 139 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 1: I would never never watch the Super Bowl. In other words, 140 00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 1: I'm not saying I am forced to watch Super Bowl 141 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 1: every year, but I am interested in this game, Steve. 142 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:43,360 Speaker 1: I think this is a kind of a fascinating game 143 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:47,280 Speaker 1: a team the Patriots that we're all sick of a 144 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,359 Speaker 1: team the Patriots says here too often, one too many times. 145 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,120 Speaker 1: That fact makes them intriguing to me. Can they keep 146 00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 1: it going? Does Brady keep playing? Yes he will? But 147 00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,839 Speaker 1: can they keep winning championships? That makes this game intriguing 148 00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 1: to mean? The Rams are intriguing to me. Plenty of 149 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:05,240 Speaker 1: Buffalo connections on the Rams with Nikel Robie Coleman just 150 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 1: coming off two weeks ago his moment in the Spotlight 151 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 1: and we talked with him on the show earlier this week. 152 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 1: Robert Woods, former Bills wide receiver, Wade Phillips, former Bills 153 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:15,960 Speaker 1: head coach, their defensive coordinator. I just think there's a 154 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 1: lot going on in this game that make it must 155 00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:21,000 Speaker 1: see TV for me this Sunday. I'm really looking forward 156 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 1: to watching the Super Bowl. I think I think we're 157 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 1: gonna have a good one. I'm gonna I'm working up 158 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 1: to my prediction here in a minute. Yeah, and I 159 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 1: think it is gonna be It should be a very 160 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 1: good game. The Patriots are a team that rarely has 161 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 1: outscored their opponents by a ton in a Super Bowl. 162 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,120 Speaker 1: I'm probably sure it has happened. I came to think of. 163 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,880 Speaker 1: But you usually you consider Patriot games Super Bowls is 164 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:45,520 Speaker 1: very close affairs. You know, the venitary kicks, the Hail 165 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,240 Speaker 1: Mary last season when they lost to the Philadelphia Eagles, 166 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:51,560 Speaker 1: the big comeback against the Atlanta Falcons.

I was almost caught off guard 251 00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:42,960 Speaker 1: by how calm Monday was until opening night and then 252 00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,200 Speaker 1: you get into that feeding frenzy and it's like, Okay, 253 00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:47,719 Speaker 1: the super Bowl is really here, right, um? And then 254 00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:50,400 Speaker 1: being here on Radio Row has been a privilege, getting 255 00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:52,480 Speaker 1: to connect with a lot of colleagues and people I 256 00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:54,959 Speaker 1: haven't seen in a while, and then also just kind 257 00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,920 Speaker 1: of generate some RAMS coverage for our audience in anticipation 258 00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,840 Speaker 1: of Sunday.

I'm anticipating a Rams Bills Super Bowl 264 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:18,520 Speaker 1: next year, so this is good for me to look forward. 265 00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:21,199 Speaker 1: Do I sign? Yeah?

Well, I approach it 272 00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 1: this way, and it's kind of my nature to begin with, 273 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:37,480 Speaker 1: but I also thought it was just a good plan 274 00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:40,000 Speaker 1: to make this week more accessible and enjoyable. I prepare 275 00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:42,640 Speaker 1: for the game as if it were last Sunday, and 276 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:45,480 Speaker 1: unless anything drastic changes, hopefully you know, the hay is 277 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:47,120 Speaker 1: in the barn, so to speak, and you know we're 278 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,840 Speaker 1: doing radio right.

There's a whole lot of time 284 00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:04,959 Speaker 1: to talk about Julian Edelman and Sean McVay playing one 285 00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:07,040 Speaker 1: time in college, right, like that just doesn't fit in 286 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:10,439 Speaker 1: our medium.

And I 335 00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:22,640 Speaker 1: think I'm doing my audience at disservice if I don't 336 00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:26,160 Speaker 1: have some nervous energy before, you know, preseason game four, 337 00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:28,640 Speaker 1: you know, including the Super Bowl, all the way through. 338 00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:32,440 Speaker 1: So yeah, there's just been this kind of like strange 339 00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:34,960 Speaker 1: not you know, right in my rib cage for the 340 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:38,080 Speaker 1: right and part of four or five days and just 341 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:40,000 Speaker 1: with all of the excitement, all the fun things that 342 00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:43,000 Speaker 1: are going on, I don't have the ability to just 343 00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:45,840 Speaker 1: fully relax and enjoy all of them, knowing what's ahead. 344 00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:48,480 Speaker 1: It's like, you know, going out to a bar with 345 00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:52,000 Speaker 1: your buddies Thursday before finals week, It's like you're happy 346 00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:54,040 Speaker 1: to be there, but you're not able to fully partake 347 00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:56,840 Speaker 1: until you're until you're through. That's kind of how I 348 00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:59,840 Speaker 1: feel about Super bowls insight is to your relationship with 349 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,560 Speaker 1: RAMS themselves. I mean, you've had the gig for since 350 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:05,800 Speaker 1: they got to LA. Yeah, do they give you Are 351 00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:08,280 Speaker 1: you starting to get that relationship with the organization? Tell 352 00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:10,080 Speaker 1: me how they treat you as their play by play guy, 353 00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:12,440 Speaker 1: because you got to be considered well like our guy, Murphyer, 354 00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:16,320 Speaker 1: he's part of the family. And how's that relationship been 355 00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:19,000 Speaker 1: progressed over the last three years since and now to 356 00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:20,600 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl? Yeah, Well, it started for me with 357 00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:23,760 Speaker 1: the final year of Jeff Fisher, and I'll always be 358 00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:26,600 Speaker 1: thankful for him welcoming me to the league, teaching me 359 00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:29,040 Speaker 1: a lot about the process, being respectful of you know, 360 00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:31,920 Speaker 1: me ramping up to call my first NFL season at 361 00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,800 Speaker 1: the tail end of his coaching career. And then once 362 00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:38,760 Speaker 1: Sean McVay arrived, it was similar in some ways but 363 00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:42,600 Speaker 1: mostly different, and anything from practice being open versus clothes, 364 00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:46,400 Speaker 1: to how he engages with the media to his specialty, right, 365 00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:49,560 Speaker 1: I mean young versus older, offense versus defense, and so 366 00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:53,640 Speaker 1: our guys pretty special. I mean, I'm sure you guys 367 00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:55,800 Speaker 1: can tell that Sean mcvays is pretty special. I'd be 368 00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:57,720 Speaker 1: surprised if he's not a force in this league for 369 00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:01,200 Speaker 1: decades to come. But he's not just a football coach, 370 00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:03,040 Speaker 1: like I think, he's one of those guys. Steve Kerr 371 00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:05,840 Speaker 1: comes to mind, Joe Madden. You know, other head coaches 372 00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:07,479 Speaker 1: in different sports. So I think if you put them 373 00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:11,760 Speaker 1: in different walks of life, politics, law, teaching, whatever it is, 374 00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:14,240 Speaker 1: they kind of rise to the top. They have the toolbox, 375 00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:16,440 Speaker 1: they have the want to, they have the work ethic, 376 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:19,440 Speaker 1: they have the people's skills to succeed in their field. 377 00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:23,000 Speaker 1: And so it's been it's been great to observe that 378 00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:25,720 Speaker 1: trickle down through our organization from day one when he 379 00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:27,720 Speaker 1: showed up preaching we not and me, And now I 380 00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:31,680 Speaker 1: think the whole organization reflects the head coach's philosophy. JB. 381 00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:35,000 Speaker 1: Long is our guests. You also host the Sean McVeigh show, right, 382 00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:37,440 Speaker 1: and so you have kind of a unique perspective on 383 00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:39,639 Speaker 1: what he's like, what he's about, and what you just 384 00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:42,200 Speaker 1: said there I find interesting. There's kind of a debate 385 00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:45,560 Speaker 1: in Buffalo. Steve knows is culture important. Let's get some 386 00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:48,040 Speaker 1: good players. Worry about culture later. But what you tell 387 00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:49,800 Speaker 1: me is and I think that's this is what Sjohn 388 00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:52,480 Speaker 1: mcdermot's trying to do in Buffalo. Build a culture. We'll 389 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:55,080 Speaker 1: find the talent, we're gonna build the culture, set the tone, 390 00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,840 Speaker 1: establish you know, the parameters and the goals of what 391 00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:00,920 Speaker 1: we're doing, and the players we'll fill in. Is that 392 00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:02,760 Speaker 1: kind of how mcbabon I think so. He's kind of 393 00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:07,159 Speaker 1: a John Wooden Bill Walsh sort of reader and adapt like. 394 00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:09,240 Speaker 1: He incorporates a lot of their principles, a lot of 395 00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:11,680 Speaker 1: their sayings. You know, Sean's thing is the standard is 396 00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:13,920 Speaker 1: the standard, which kind of speaks to what you're talking about. 397 00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:16,120 Speaker 1: In two years, I think, you know, there's a really 398 00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:19,600 Speaker 1: solid young nucleus here with Goff and Girly and Cooks 399 00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:22,639 Speaker 1: and Aaron Donald of course, and like any team in 400 00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:24,760 Speaker 1: the National Football League, there's gonna be churned. They're gonna 401 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:27,560 Speaker 1: change the pieces around them over the course of their careers. 402 00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:31,000 Speaker 1: But now I think no matter who they bring in, 403 00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:34,119 Speaker 1: there's an understanding that you're part of something larger and 404 00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:36,800 Speaker 1: this is the expectation. It's not the Patriot way yet, 405 00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:40,800 Speaker 1: you know, there's there's a few more games. I get it, 406 00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:45,320 Speaker 1: but I think that's the approach that Sean took and 407 00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:47,480 Speaker 1: in terms of like finding the next Sean mcvayh which 408 00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:50,800 Speaker 1: has been the topic of the previous month, right, the 409 00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:53,639 Speaker 1: Holy Grail. Yeah, I would caution anyone who would who 410 00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:57,040 Speaker 1: would listen, It's not just finding someone who's thirty five 411 00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:00,880 Speaker 1: or younger and has a good QUE rating and happens 412 00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:03,960 Speaker 1: to have a successful offensive mind. It's someone who is 413 00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:07,880 Speaker 1: humble enough to know where his early career deficiencies are 414 00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:10,840 Speaker 1: and not be threatened by hiring someone like a Joe 415 00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:13,760 Speaker 1: Barry on defense or a Wade Phillips to run his defense, 416 00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:16,720 Speaker 1: or at Greg Olsen to work with his quarterback early on. 417 00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:19,960 Speaker 1: I mean he's more than willing to surround himself with capable, 418 00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:24,320 Speaker 1: established people because he's confident in himself and he knows 419 00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:27,719 Speaker 1: that he has to have those successful people around him 420 00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:30,159 Speaker 1: to achieve what he wants to achieve. Jab Longe is 421 00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:32,320 Speaker 1: to play by played voice of the Rams. It strikes 422 00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:35,359 Speaker 1: me from the outside looking in that the Wait Phillips 423 00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:38,520 Speaker 1: is a critical component to the success the Rams of 424 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:41,320 Speaker 1: him because of his experience, mostly because of his he's 425 00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:44,080 Speaker 1: a defensive genius, basically had no doubt decade. There was 426 00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:46,600 Speaker 1: all this angst when when he was hired. I mean, 427 00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:49,640 Speaker 1: everyone is excited to have him because his reputation precedes him. 428 00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:52,040 Speaker 1: But you had Aaron Donald who was on the cusp 429 00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:54,880 Speaker 1: of greatness, you could tell, and so everyone was like, well, 430 00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:56,800 Speaker 1: what's what's it going to look like moving from a 431 00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,120 Speaker 1: four three to a three to four? And Wade gets 432 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:01,320 Speaker 1: up in front of the organis He's like, here's the difference, 433 00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:03,639 Speaker 1: and he kind of bends over at the waist and 434 00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:06,479 Speaker 1: he puts a hand down and then he stands up 435 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:10,000 Speaker 1: and he says, that's the difference, you know, kind of 436 00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:13,320 Speaker 1: playing the role of an outside linebacker. And I think 437 00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:16,600 Speaker 1: he's he's the yun in the yang with Sean mcvagh. 438 00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:19,200 Speaker 1: I mean, Sean is so energetic and high strung at times, 439 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:21,160 Speaker 1: almost to a fault, you know, of his own admission. 440 00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:24,040 Speaker 1: And I think Sean would have played this Super Bowl 441 00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:26,560 Speaker 1: twelve times already if he could. You know, like Sunday 442 00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:29,040 Speaker 1: is never going to get here in his mind. Wade, 443 00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:33,200 Speaker 1: you know, past his seventy first birthday, You could postpone 444 00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:35,480 Speaker 1: this game a month and he would be perfectly calm 445 00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:37,639 Speaker 1: and all right. Maybe it's gonna sound a modest but 446 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:40,040 Speaker 1: I believe I'd do the best Wade Phillips imitation of 447 00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:42,720 Speaker 1: all times. Let's have it ready, I don't know. Well, yeah, 448 00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:44,320 Speaker 1: we'll play the game on Sunday. Yeah, we know, we 449 00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:45,920 Speaker 1: gotta play. Yeah, we're gonna be all right. Now, we 450 00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:48,440 Speaker 1: don't worry about that, all right. I won twenty nine 451 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:50,520 Speaker 1: games as head coach of the Bills. Now, come on, 452 00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:54,720 Speaker 1: pretty good, pretty good, pretty good, really good. The only way, 453 00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:57,240 Speaker 1: the only way that I that I've seen heard. What 454 00:20:57,280 --> 00:20:59,880 Speaker 1: do you think? Tell us a little bit about you've 455 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:02,440 Speaker 1: covered this team, you watched him, You've watched them grow 456 00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:06,960 Speaker 1: from and blossom under. Sean McVeigh talks about what do 457 00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:09,560 Speaker 1: you expect in this game? This is a team that 458 00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:13,400 Speaker 1: you know goes to three wide, one type, one back, 459 00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:16,399 Speaker 1: and almost every single snap you kind of know the numbers, 460 00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:17,879 Speaker 1: you know the guys that are probably going to be 461 00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:20,040 Speaker 1: on the field. What do you expect them to do? Well? 462 00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:22,199 Speaker 1: I think they became a more difficult team to prepare 463 00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:26,359 Speaker 1: for in some ways when Todd Gurley got hurt, because 464 00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:29,399 Speaker 1: they were almost exclusively in the three wide sets and 465 00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:32,520 Speaker 1: Sean's goal is to make everything look the same pre 466 00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:36,639 Speaker 1: snap and then at the critical moment it's different. And 467 00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:38,680 Speaker 1: now with c. J. Anderson. They've been going more two 468 00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:42,080 Speaker 1: tight end looks. They're willing to run inside zone, and 469 00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:45,080 Speaker 1: they become a more physical, almost rejuvenated team after their 470 00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:48,639 Speaker 1: December slump. And so I'm not sure entirely what the 471 00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:50,560 Speaker 1: distribution it carries is going to look like with Todd 472 00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:52,840 Speaker 1: Gurley and c. J. Anderson, and I think they have 473 00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:55,560 Speaker 1: the flexibility to read the game and see what plays well, 474 00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:57,520 Speaker 1: like they did in New Orleans a couple of weekends ago. 475 00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:01,359 Speaker 1: Brandon Cook's playing against the Patriots. You know, I think 476 00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:03,600 Speaker 1: he'll get his chances. Robert Woods, who I know, you 477 00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:06,840 Speaker 1: guys know from Buffalo, has blossomed in Los Angeles, and 478 00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:09,760 Speaker 1: I'm not sure there's more of an unsung hero. He 479 00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:12,480 Speaker 1: hasn't got like the Pro Bowl accolades, but man, he's 480 00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:15,840 Speaker 1: been right there, such an all round player, any such 481 00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:18,159 Speaker 1: a gritty guy, and we always admired his work. You 482 00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:20,640 Speaker 1: can tell every snap he works hard, yea, And that's 483 00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:22,640 Speaker 1: he was playing hurt for you guys too, as I understand. 484 00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:25,200 Speaker 1: He was always nicked up and never complained and never 485 00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:27,680 Speaker 1: took a day off. He was He's a really really 486 00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:29,560 Speaker 1: quality pro player, and just on the other side to 487 00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:31,640 Speaker 1: kell Robbie Coleman. Since we're talking about it, I think, 488 00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:34,400 Speaker 1: you know, he's an interesting couple of weeks. He drew 489 00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:37,280 Speaker 1: the fire and uh, you know, he plays a critical 490 00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:39,359 Speaker 1: role whether it's Edelman in the slot or Gronk in 491 00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:41,280 Speaker 1: the slot. I mean, they're going to come at him, 492 00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:43,359 Speaker 1: not because he said what he said, because that's what 493 00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:47,359 Speaker 1: the Patriots do do anyway. But it's it's a wonderful 494 00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:50,760 Speaker 1: unique blend. I think of youth and experience. Where Goss 495 00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:53,400 Speaker 1: never been here, girl, he's never been here, but there 496 00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:55,240 Speaker 1: at the other end of the spectrum, there's guys like 497 00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:58,359 Speaker 1: Andrew Whitworth, John Sullivan the center, and Dominican Sue on 498 00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:01,080 Speaker 1: the defensive line, even Wade phil Us who if they 499 00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:03,159 Speaker 1: were to be so fortunate as to win on Sunday, 500 00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:05,440 Speaker 1: I think a lot of those men would have deep 501 00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:07,800 Speaker 1: thoughts about do I want to go out on a 502 00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,320 Speaker 1: high note? And so I think in a lot of ways, 503 00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:14,399 Speaker 1: the Ram's youth is playing to give those individuals that 504 00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:17,880 Speaker 1: opportunity that right, yeah, they're up against the very experienced 505 00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:20,480 Speaker 1: Patriots team. Does experience make a difference in a game 506 00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:22,359 Speaker 1: like this, I'm sure it does, And there's a little 507 00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:24,040 Speaker 1: bit of you know, talked about a key to leave 508 00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:26,200 Speaker 1: and C. J. Anderson, you know they've been bolstered in 509 00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:30,120 Speaker 1: that sense. And I my hunches where the experience really 510 00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:33,280 Speaker 1: pays off is where we are right now, right like, 511 00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:36,920 Speaker 1: how do you preserve yourself mentally and emotionally when the 512 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,280 Speaker 1: families arrive? And I see the zoo of picking up 513 00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:42,119 Speaker 1: your credentials in your tickets and getting everyone settled in. 514 00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:44,119 Speaker 1: I mean I sense that, And my wife is the 515 00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:45,639 Speaker 1: only one in my life here that I have to 516 00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:49,639 Speaker 1: worry about. So, you know, the Patriots as an organization 517 00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:52,159 Speaker 1: and individually, I think they know this drill. And so 518 00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:54,520 Speaker 1: if they get off to a faster start on Sunday, 519 00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:57,000 Speaker 1: that wouldn't surprise me. JB. Thanks for this. I hope 520 00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:58,960 Speaker 1: you have a great weekend. I know you're gonna have 521 00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:01,880 Speaker 1: a great broadcast. I appreciate you saying that.

And just the game itself. Man, the game 568 00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:09,080 Speaker 1: brought a lot of memories. It was a couple of 569 00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:11,800 Speaker 1: iconic moments in that game that will never die. So 570 00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:14,320 Speaker 1: every year the Super Bowl comes around, you know, you 571 00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:16,359 Speaker 1: get a chance to see yourself on that screen against 572 00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:18,520 Speaker 1: I was at that game, and you know, the end 573 00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:21,600 Speaker 1: was spectacular, and there was the end of around that time, 574 00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:23,800 Speaker 1: a lot of Super Bowls weren't real close. That one 575 00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:25,560 Speaker 1: went right down to the final playing when the Titans 576 00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:26,960 Speaker 1: are right down here the goal line. And trust me, 577 00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:28,959 Speaker 1: I didn't want it to be close at all. Man, 578 00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:31,359 Speaker 1: I was looking for a blowout and you know, be 579 00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:32,960 Speaker 1: on the sideline in the fourth quarter of the t 580 00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:34,600 Speaker 1: shirt and had him just didn't work out that way, 581 00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:36,680 Speaker 1: work out that way. You mentioned coach for Meal. I 582 00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:38,880 Speaker 1: had a conversation last week. I was said the Senior 583 00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:41,359 Speaker 1: Bowl with somebody who was just raving about what a 584 00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:43,560 Speaker 1: great coach Coach for Meal was. You had him with 585 00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:45,280 Speaker 1: the Rams. What was he like, Oh, one of the 586 00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:47,840 Speaker 1: most loyal guys that you ever want to meet and 587 00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:51,040 Speaker 1: wanted to know he really truly cared about his players. 588 00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:54,600 Speaker 1: And I mean that from off the field. On the 589 00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:56,680 Speaker 1: practice field was a different story. He was an old 590 00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:58,920 Speaker 1: school coach. You're gonna go three and a half hours, 591 00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:01,520 Speaker 1: you're gonna hit. I'm gonna give you a couple more drills, 592 00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:04,480 Speaker 1: nine on nine. It's nine on seven. And you know 593 00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:06,240 Speaker 1: I can always hear him saying, you don't have to 594 00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:08,440 Speaker 1: see a good drill, you can hear it. And that 595 00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:10,840 Speaker 1: was coach vermill Man but a great guy, great coach, 596 00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:13,479 Speaker 1: and often gives you a call out or blue every 597 00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:16,600 Speaker 1: now and day we'll put together. The greatest show on 598 00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:19,040 Speaker 1: turf was that by designed it. It just fall that way. 599 00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:21,400 Speaker 1: Oh it didn't fall that way. I mean Charlie Army, 600 00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:24,760 Speaker 1: he was our general manager at the time. Coach vermill 601 00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:26,560 Speaker 1: had a lot to do with it. Mike Marte had 602 00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:28,760 Speaker 1: a lot to do with it. You know. We started 603 00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:30,879 Speaker 1: via free agency. I mean, I think that one of 604 00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:34,200 Speaker 1: the biggest moves, bringing Marshall from Indy. And you know, 605 00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:36,240 Speaker 1: Kurt was in the fold, but we just didn't know it. 606 00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:39,879 Speaker 1: We drafted Tory Hope, brought in Adam Timberman, already had 607 00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:42,800 Speaker 1: Orlando Pace in the mix, and we had guys from 608 00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:46,000 Speaker 1: the tight end position, Ernie Conwell, Roland Williams who really 609 00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:48,320 Speaker 1: we really meshed together. Man, we could block him up. 610 00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:50,440 Speaker 1: We can run the ball powerfully if we wanted to 611 00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:52,919 Speaker 1: and throw the football down the field like no one 612 00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:55,800 Speaker 1: had done. I have a chance to the job I 613 00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:57,960 Speaker 1: do now with some CBS and broadcast, We're gonna work 614 00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:00,280 Speaker 1: with Kurt Warner, and I've also worked with Trent Green. Yeah, 615 00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:03,959 Speaker 1: so yeah, that must have been you guys go back 616 00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:06,280 Speaker 1: and Eve been asked this a million times over the 617 00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:08,560 Speaker 1: last twenty years and would have been the same with Trent. 618 00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:10,400 Speaker 1: I mean, you had a lot of confidence in him, 619 00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:13,760 Speaker 1: and but something he's kind of caught lightning in a bottle? 620 00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:16,720 Speaker 1: Did did the fact that you switch quarterbacks when Trent 621 00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:19,480 Speaker 1: got hurt? Kurt Warner came in totally unknown? Did you 622 00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:23,800 Speaker 1: guys elevate because you didn't know how good Kurt could be. Well, 623 00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:26,399 Speaker 1: I'll tell you this. When Trent came in, we got 624 00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:29,440 Speaker 1: him via free agency as well. I think he was 625 00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:33,440 Speaker 1: the largest free agent quarterback that we brought in in 626 00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:36,200 Speaker 1: my era. There had Chris Miller at the beginning, and 627 00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:38,600 Speaker 1: brought in Trent. I was really excited about it, man, 628 00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:41,640 Speaker 1: because I had a motley crew, a gumble of quarterbacks 629 00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:44,360 Speaker 1: that I was playing with weekend week out, and Trent 630 00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:46,680 Speaker 1: had experience with Mike Marks. And I say this a 631 00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:48,960 Speaker 1: lot he had. He had he was a guy that 632 00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:52,760 Speaker 1: can add lib in that offense. That preseason he was 633 00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:55,320 Speaker 1: twenty twenty two for twenty three before he went down 634 00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:57,920 Speaker 1: with a knee injury. So they say, if things would 635 00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:00,640 Speaker 1: have been the same, When he when he's asked that question, 636 00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:02,880 Speaker 1: he said, it probably would have been better because this 637 00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:06,520 Speaker 1: guy was seasoned in that offense. So, um, it may 638 00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:08,960 Speaker 1: have been better because this guy he knew Mike Marts. 639 00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,440 Speaker 1: He could say, Okay, we're running this route, but if 640 00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:13,640 Speaker 1: you get press coverage over, I'm coming to you broke 641 00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:16,320 Speaker 1: At the very least, it would have been better fast, absolutely, 642 00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:18,960 Speaker 1: because he absolutely was ready to get absolutely, and Kurt 643 00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:20,920 Speaker 1: Warner did have to grow into that. Yeah, we had to. 644 00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:22,560 Speaker 1: He had to groom him in, he had to get 645 00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:25,360 Speaker 1: receive his coaching, and he got it real quick. And 646 00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:27,760 Speaker 1: I think you know from him playing in the Arena 647 00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:30,719 Speaker 1: League where things happened real fast, that benefited him as well. 648 00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:33,880 Speaker 1: Former Rams wide receiver Isaac Bruce's our guests that we 649 00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:37,680 Speaker 1: talked about the season when you guys won the Super 650 00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:39,360 Speaker 1: Bowl and you came back in two thousand and one 651 00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:42,040 Speaker 1: and lost to the Patriots, and really the first to 652 00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:44,600 Speaker 1: the Patriots super Bowl wins. Right, did you have any 653 00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:47,280 Speaker 1: idea back then what was starting for New England? I 654 00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:49,960 Speaker 1: mean they barely won that game with Vinitary's kick, right, Yeah, 655 00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:52,600 Speaker 1: not at all. I didn't. I didn't foresee uh, you know, 656 00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:56,280 Speaker 1: it turning into this for them. What I did foresee is, 657 00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:58,720 Speaker 1: you know, the Rams that already played in Super Bowl 658 00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:01,400 Speaker 1: thirty four, we're back in three six. I expected to 659 00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:03,360 Speaker 1: be there again. I think we had good enough teams 660 00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:06,560 Speaker 1: to really push through and maybe we have that dynasty 661 00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:09,960 Speaker 1: and that that that longevity that that they're experiencing right now. 662 00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:12,680 Speaker 1: But I think it's been amazing. Man. I think you know, 663 00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:15,200 Speaker 1: you know, you get Belichick and Brady, who's mentioned a lot, 664 00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:16,920 Speaker 1: but I think the one guy that's missing and all 665 00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:19,760 Speaker 1: of it is Bob Kraft. I think he's giving Belichick 666 00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:22,800 Speaker 1: the opportunity to really just be a football guy, you know, 667 00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:25,440 Speaker 1: buy his own groceries, so to speak, and bring these 668 00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:27,240 Speaker 1: guys in and play him and develop them. We've had 669 00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:30,080 Speaker 1: that conversation a lot, and everybody says, well, it's probably 670 00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:32,320 Speaker 1: gonna go away as soon as Bill Belichick retires. In 671 00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:34,320 Speaker 1: Tom Brady certainly that you think it is going to 672 00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:36,160 Speaker 1: be a drop off and things would change over there. 673 00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:39,320 Speaker 1: But you really, it didn't get good in New England 674 00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:41,560 Speaker 1: till Bob Kraft brought that team, and it got good 675 00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:43,920 Speaker 1: pretty quick. It's true. I think, uh, you know, I 676 00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:45,760 Speaker 1: grew up like I grew up a Miami Dolphin fan, 677 00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:49,400 Speaker 1: so AFC East fan. You guys would come and you 678 00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:52,240 Speaker 1: guys would play Buffalo. I mean, New England was pretty 679 00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:54,880 Speaker 1: much do you know you just rolled over him. I 680 00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:57,680 Speaker 1: mean there was a stat game for Dan Marino, Mark Clayton, 681 00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:00,560 Speaker 1: Mark Dooper, those guys, and uh, you know, once he 682 00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:03,200 Speaker 1: got in there, once Kraft took over the ownership, you know, 683 00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:06,680 Speaker 1: he found a football guy, football person, and those pieces 684 00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:08,880 Speaker 1: fell into place for he grew up a Dolphins fan. 685 00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:11,480 Speaker 1: Obviously you're a Rams fan here a little week. What's 686 00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:13,160 Speaker 1: the best chance for the Rams to win this game 687 00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:14,800 Speaker 1: on Sunday at whatever. Well, you know, there's been a 688 00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:17,200 Speaker 1: lot of talk of officiating for the last two weeks, 689 00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:19,640 Speaker 1: and I hope it doesn't have that NBA effect, you 690 00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:22,120 Speaker 1: know what I mean, where you know they're throwing laundry 691 00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:24,160 Speaker 1: all over the field just to prove a we're visible, 692 00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:26,360 Speaker 1: I mean referees and the officials are supposed to be 693 00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:29,920 Speaker 1: invisible and hopefully you know that doesn't you know, rouse 694 00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:32,400 Speaker 1: those eyes and want them to be on television. But 695 00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:34,680 Speaker 1: if they let them play, I think that bowls well 696 00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:36,720 Speaker 1: for us. I mean, you know, we got a pretty 697 00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:40,280 Speaker 1: good front front seven and we can get penetration. Hopefully 698 00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:42,600 Speaker 1: they can get Tom Brady and maybe let a couple 699 00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:44,800 Speaker 1: of dead fishes go. You know when they dropped those 700 00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:47,440 Speaker 1: three hundred pounds on them and uh, you know, tournament 701 00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:49,640 Speaker 1: from from a facilitator to a football player, you know, 702 00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:51,240 Speaker 1: that's what I like, I've been saying to see the 703 00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:53,760 Speaker 1: last few days, I just had this image of Diamond 704 00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:57,240 Speaker 1: Consue and taking one for the tear down. No, no, 705 00:31:57,800 --> 00:31:59,960 Speaker 1: I don't want to do that, but I know they're dominant. 706 00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:02,320 Speaker 1: They're really good. They're a handful for anybody, no matter 707 00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:06,160 Speaker 1: who quarterback. We had this conversation too yesterday and Dominican 708 00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:07,840 Speaker 1: Sue is such a I mean, you see the guy. 709 00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:11,760 Speaker 1: I mean, he's immense and he has that ability. Well, 710 00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:13,600 Speaker 1: he's signed a big contract and he kind of like 711 00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:16,640 Speaker 1: he's just playing good. But when when that guy turns 712 00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:20,680 Speaker 1: it on, he's the guy everybody wish they had. Yeah, 713 00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:24,640 Speaker 1: and he these last couple of playoff games, he's turned 714 00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:27,400 Speaker 1: it on. He's proved that. I think you know, some 715 00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:29,640 Speaker 1: guys they've never been in a position like this. I mean, 716 00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:33,480 Speaker 1: the contracts are big, the famous there, but at the 717 00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:36,240 Speaker 1: middle of it, you're a football player and when you 718 00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:38,640 Speaker 1: have an opportunity to win a championship, man, you're gonna 719 00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:41,920 Speaker 1: get everything that a guy has plus something. So um. 720 00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:44,840 Speaker 1: You know when when Donald's being double team, they're saying, 721 00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:46,520 Speaker 1: mister Sue, I don't think you can beat this guy 722 00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:49,160 Speaker 1: one on one, and we take that challenge personal. I 723 00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:51,080 Speaker 1: mean it's it's kind of like running down on the gunner. 724 00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:52,600 Speaker 1: I've seen you do that many of the times, you know, 725 00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:55,320 Speaker 1: and it's an approach. I don't think two guys can 726 00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:57,680 Speaker 1: stop me. And now I'm gonna show you. Hey as 727 00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:00,560 Speaker 1: a year yard day before the vote for the Pro 728 00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:02,840 Speaker 1: Football Hall of Fame, give us your thoughts on that's 729 00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:04,600 Speaker 1: the third time you've been a finalist? Is that right? 730 00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:06,840 Speaker 1: My third time being a finalist? Uh. I'll tell you what. 731 00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:08,520 Speaker 1: It's a hard position to get in and I got 732 00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:11,920 Speaker 1: you deserve it, no question about it. But there's your 733 00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:14,400 Speaker 1: numbers and stuff. It's a it's a tough position to 734 00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:16,840 Speaker 1: get in. But man, oh man, they have a tough job. 735 00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:19,320 Speaker 1: I think you know the selection committee, Um, they have 736 00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:21,640 Speaker 1: to go in from seven am in the morning until 737 00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:24,560 Speaker 1: about three pm in the afternoon. Uh, they have fifteen 738 00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:28,040 Speaker 1: great finalists who they have to really scrutinize and see, uh, 739 00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:29,880 Speaker 1: you know, and get the chance to hear you know, 740 00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:33,200 Speaker 1: what their body of work was. Um, it's it's tough position. 741 00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:36,840 Speaker 1: I think, you know, from from the standpoint of getting 742 00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:39,880 Speaker 1: it getting players in from a certain position, it's grown 743 00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:41,640 Speaker 1: a little bit. I think over the last you know, 744 00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:43,720 Speaker 1: a couple of years or so, we've gotten enough wide 745 00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:47,240 Speaker 1: receivers in that group, and uh, it doesn't change. I 746 00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:50,280 Speaker 1: think it's a benefit to have guys like uh, James 747 00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:52,880 Speaker 1: Lofton in the room. Uh, Dan Fouts in the room. 748 00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:55,600 Speaker 1: These guys no plays, We know players. It doesn't take 749 00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:58,080 Speaker 1: us long to the really forecast if a guy's gonna 750 00:33:58,080 --> 00:33:59,800 Speaker 1: be a player or not. We can see his work ethic, 751 00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:02,120 Speaker 1: we can see we can forecast what we think he's 752 00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:05,160 Speaker 1: gonna do. And uh, you know, those guys being in 753 00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:07,000 Speaker 1: the room, I think it's a plus for everybody. Yeah, 754 00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:10,040 Speaker 1: it's the only wide receiver in the fifteen finalists. Is 755 00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:12,440 Speaker 1: that help your cause? Do you think tomorrow? Well? I mean, 756 00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:15,200 Speaker 1: you know, I like last year because last year, you know, 757 00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:18,279 Speaker 1: you had three guys and we were all being looked at. 758 00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:20,360 Speaker 1: I kind of like when the when the uh you know, 759 00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:22,640 Speaker 1: the deck is like against me, man, I think, uh, 760 00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:24,640 Speaker 1: you know, but being the only guy in, I mean, 761 00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:26,560 Speaker 1: I mean, like I say, it's still a process. You 762 00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:29,480 Speaker 1: gotta you know, you're judging a wide receiver versus a 763 00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:31,680 Speaker 1: right guard. And those guys had great careers, you know 764 00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:33,600 Speaker 1: what I'm saying. And I don't do my job if 765 00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:35,719 Speaker 1: the right guard doesn't do his job. So you know, 766 00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:38,000 Speaker 1: we're totally dependent on them guys. So they're they're very, 767 00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:40,640 Speaker 1: very deserving of being Hall of Fame. It must be 768 00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:43,960 Speaker 1: tough for those guys to navigate the contributions of guys 769 00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:46,759 Speaker 1: who have such vastly different jobs. They must it must 770 00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:49,480 Speaker 1: be difficult for them, and they hash it out. It is, 771 00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:52,000 Speaker 1: I think they. I mean, plus, these guys take it serious. 772 00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:54,400 Speaker 1: Have you spoken to any of the voters. I haven't. 773 00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:56,239 Speaker 1: I haven't. You know, I see him, uh you know, 774 00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:58,920 Speaker 1: you know, through through places like this, I kind of 775 00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:01,320 Speaker 1: steer away from him, you know, I want to campaign 776 00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:03,640 Speaker 1: for the Oh absolutely not. It's kind of not my style, 777 00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:05,880 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So, um, you know, they 778 00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:08,239 Speaker 1: do have to navigate through these guys. And I think 779 00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:11,319 Speaker 1: that you know, when you truly do your homework as 780 00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:13,960 Speaker 1: a voter, um, you tend to go back to when 781 00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:17,719 Speaker 1: a guy retired. I think that's important and versus you 782 00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:20,120 Speaker 1: know where he is right now statistically, So those things 783 00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:23,000 Speaker 1: are important. Numbers are gonna fall, that's what they're there for. 784 00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:24,759 Speaker 1: I mean, guys, see, you know, it's kind of like 785 00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:27,279 Speaker 1: a carrot. I mean, when I saw henriellat half over 786 00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:30,239 Speaker 1: thirteen thousand career yards, I mean, as as the all 787 00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:32,839 Speaker 1: time leading receiver for the Rams, that's kind of where 788 00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:34,800 Speaker 1: I based my goal and I and I shot forward 789 00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:36,480 Speaker 1: and when I passed it, you know, I always call 790 00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:38,960 Speaker 1: him up and say, man, you listen today, I'm passing you. 791 00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:41,120 Speaker 1: I want to just thank you for everything that you've done. 792 00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:43,279 Speaker 1: So these guys have have to do that. I mean, 793 00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:46,719 Speaker 1: as as selectors and as voters for the Hall of Fame. 794 00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:48,520 Speaker 1: Just give you some comfort. I have. I've spoken to 795 00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:50,800 Speaker 1: a number of those guys just in passing and stuff 796 00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:54,200 Speaker 1: and conversations about other guys. In years past. They take 797 00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:57,200 Speaker 1: it very seriously and you can bet that um when 798 00:35:57,239 --> 00:35:59,200 Speaker 1: they could truly get a chance to consider you, They're 799 00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:01,279 Speaker 1: gonna do you thing. I wish you all the best. 800 00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:03,560 Speaker 1: It's gonna be.

Look, I talked 930 00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:18,200 Speaker 1: briefly yesterday with Jordan off off the air, and we've 931 00:42:18,239 --> 00:42:20,080 Speaker 1: had him on the show a couple of times since 932 00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:22,560 Speaker 1: he worked with Josh, but we needed an update.

Yeah, 940 00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:44,600 Speaker 1: because because really I wanted to Uh, I did want 941 00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:46,160 Speaker 1: to talk to him. I think I think people in 942 00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:48,719 Speaker 1: Buffalo want to hear what Jordan Bummer has to say 943 00:42:48,920 --> 00:42:50,840 Speaker 1: about Josh Out and what he's doing the off season. 944 00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:53,680 Speaker 1: I did ask him yesterday. That was maybe the crucial 945 00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:55,760 Speaker 1: element of our show for the week that we didn't 946 00:42:55,880 --> 00:42:57,840 Speaker 1: make happen, and that was Jordan Pine when we had it. 947 00:42:57,960 --> 00:42:59,440 Speaker 1: It was supposed to happen, it was gonna happen, and 948 00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:01,000 Speaker 1: now it's not going too So I'm bummed.

I say, I said, hey, did you 950 00:43:02,560 --> 00:43:04,840 Speaker 1: see like the internet traffic people mentioned you as a 951 00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:08,359 Speaker 1: possible quarterback coach candidate for the Buffalo Bills. He said, 952 00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:10,960 Speaker 1: that's not happening. I'm not gonna do that. No, he's 953 00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:13,600 Speaker 1: got a job. He's at quarterback Summit out there in California. 954 00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:16,000 Speaker 1: Probably should do a better job of maintaining the appointments 955 00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:18,279 Speaker 1: he makes, but he's not coming to the Buffalo Bills 956 00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:20,840 Speaker 1: to be the quarterback coach. If those are at home listening, 957 00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:25,640 Speaker 1: Murph is bitter.

I think that's odd. 985 00:44:39,640 --> 00:44:41,279 Speaker 1: I think they're gonna the Patriots are gonna and I 986 00:44:41,560 --> 00:44:43,200 Speaker 1: it should be a coin flip, is what it should be. 987 00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:45,839 Speaker 1: But you know, people in Buffalo have a leaning there. 988 00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:49,440 Speaker 1: Bet you're gonna bet with their heart. That's right, that 989 00:44:49,600 --> 00:44:52,359 Speaker 1: right there, that percentage at thirty five sixty five percentage split. 990 00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:55,439 Speaker 1: That is why. That is why bookies make all the money. 991 00:44:56,480 --> 00:44:58,800 Speaker 1: If you're betting that way, I really gotta question exactly 992 00:44:58,840 --> 00:45:00,880 Speaker 1: why bookies make all the mone And I get it. 993 00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:05,360 Speaker 1: So I think it's an interesting game. It's gonna be 994 00:45:05,440 --> 00:45:07,520 Speaker 1: a very good game. I think the Rams are a 995 00:45:07,640 --> 00:45:11,759 Speaker 1: compelling story. The Patriots are just more of the same, 996 00:45:12,239 --> 00:45:15,640 Speaker 1: and it's there there because they they seem to always 997 00:45:15,719 --> 00:45:17,600 Speaker 1: be there. They run things the right way, they do 998 00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:20,640 Speaker 1: things the Patriot way. All that stuff you hear coming 999 00:45:20,680 --> 00:45:24,719 Speaker 1: out of Boston about them. Listen, you can't deny it. 1000 00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:28,200 Speaker 1: It's there, and I think it's probably going to continue. 1001 00:45:28,239 --> 00:45:29,839 Speaker 1: There's no reason to think they're not going to come 1002 00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:32,080 Speaker 1: in and play exactly like they've played the last eighteen years. 1003 00:45:32,160 --> 00:45:33,879 Speaker 1: What do you think? Give us a call? Tell us why, 1004 00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:36,960 Speaker 1: Rams Patriots? Who's gonna win? Now? Who you want? Not 1005 00:45:37,080 --> 00:45:39,120 Speaker 1: who you're rooting for? Well, who do you think is 1006 00:45:39,160 --> 00:45:41,839 Speaker 1: really gonna win? Eight oh three oh five fifty toll 1007 00:45:41,920 --> 00:45:44,880 Speaker 1: free one eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty 1008 00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:47,239 Speaker 1: or on the tweet sheet? We got a couple of 1009 00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:50,399 Speaker 1: submissions there. Daryl f twenty nine. Who's gonna win the game? 1010 00:45:50,480 --> 00:45:53,439 Speaker 1: We say? He says Rams. I hope Donald and Sue 1011 00:45:53,480 --> 00:45:56,440 Speaker 1: will need to be huge and get pressure on Brady. Also, 1012 00:45:56,520 --> 00:45:59,200 Speaker 1: the Rams defense is pretty good at creating turnovers. If 1013 00:45:59,239 --> 00:46:01,399 Speaker 1: they can do that and they have golf, not play 1014 00:46:01,520 --> 00:46:04,360 Speaker 1: quote hero ball, they have a legitimate chance. Look for 1015 00:46:04,400 --> 00:46:07,360 Speaker 1: Girly to bounce back to maybe Girly, maybe Anderson. I 1016 00:46:07,400 --> 00:46:09,959 Speaker 1: don't think it matters, I really don't. I think Girly 1017 00:46:10,080 --> 00:46:11,839 Speaker 1: needs to play well, but doesn't need to play great. 1018 00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:13,960 Speaker 1: I think it's on the Rams defense and I think 1019 00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:17,280 Speaker 1: they will respond with my man, our man, Wade Phillips. 1020 00:46:17,680 --> 00:46:20,120 Speaker 1: I think the two guys in the middle and Dominican 1021 00:46:20,200 --> 00:46:22,959 Speaker 1: Sue and especially Aaron Donald are going to dominate Steve. 1022 00:46:23,200 --> 00:46:25,239 Speaker 1: I think the Patriots are gonna have a tough time 1023 00:46:25,320 --> 00:46:27,920 Speaker 1: running as much as they have in recent weeks. Who knows, 1024 00:46:27,960 --> 00:46:29,880 Speaker 1: Maybe they don't try to. Maybe they look and say, well, 1025 00:46:29,920 --> 00:46:32,440 Speaker 1: we don't want to run against this group, Let's throw it, Okay. 1026 00:46:32,520 --> 00:46:35,200 Speaker 1: I just think the Rams defense will carry the day. 1027 00:46:35,360 --> 00:46:37,239 Speaker 1: I look for the Rams to win this game, close one, 1028 00:46:37,560 --> 00:46:40,120 Speaker 1: but I think the Rams are gonna win. Okay, Mike Crazy, No, 1029 00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:42,080 Speaker 1: not at all. You can make a case for it. 1030 00:46:42,160 --> 00:46:44,000 Speaker 1: And I do say, and I have said this before, 1031 00:46:44,080 --> 00:46:45,439 Speaker 1: I think it is going to be a close game. 1032 00:46:45,719 --> 00:46:48,000 Speaker 1: The Patriots Super Bowls, for the most part, are always 1033 00:46:48,040 --> 00:46:50,400 Speaker 1: close games. They win a lot of them, but they 1034 00:46:50,480 --> 00:46:53,880 Speaker 1: also lose a lot of them. Even last year to 1035 00:46:54,120 --> 00:46:56,560 Speaker 1: the last two times they've lost against the Eagles and 1036 00:46:56,600 --> 00:46:58,440 Speaker 1: against the Falcons, they were down twenty eight of three 1037 00:46:58,440 --> 00:47:00,400 Speaker 1: to the Falcons before they snapped out of morn to 1038 00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:02,680 Speaker 1: close one. Last year, they had to hail Mary to 1039 00:47:02,719 --> 00:47:04,719 Speaker 1: try and tie it with Gronkowski in the end zone. 1040 00:47:04,760 --> 00:47:07,080 Speaker 1: So I think it'll be a close game, just like you, 1041 00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:09,319 Speaker 1: but I give the Patriots the edge. All right, Well 1042 00:47:09,360 --> 00:47:11,400 Speaker 1: here from you, let's talk about it. Who's gonna win? 1043 00:47:11,480 --> 00:47:14,520 Speaker 1: And why? How? Eight oh three five fifty twenty three 1044 00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:17,600 Speaker 1: one eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty Steve 1045 00:47:17,640 --> 00:47:19,600 Speaker 1: and I coming back two hours to go on one 1046 00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:22,479 Speaker 1: Bills Live presented by Kalaida Health from the Super Bowl 1047 00:47:22,520 --> 00:47:31,680 Speaker 1: in Atlanta.

One of the reasons why I appreciate you 1093 00:49:47,440 --> 00:49:50,880 Speaker 1: and your work. We were in Orlando, Florida at the 1094 00:49:50,960 --> 00:49:54,080 Speaker 1: owners meetings three four years ago now and Ralph Wilson 1095 00:49:54,120 --> 00:49:56,719 Speaker 1: passed away, Yeah, and we were desperate looking for people 1096 00:49:56,760 --> 00:49:58,879 Speaker 1: to give us a perspective, and you were gracious enough 1097 00:49:58,880 --> 00:50:00,719 Speaker 1: to come on and really say some really good things 1098 00:50:00,760 --> 00:50:03,520 Speaker 1: about mister Wilson back then that was twenty fourteen, now 1099 00:50:03,600 --> 00:50:05,600 Speaker 1: five years ago, and in the easy guy to say 1100 00:50:05,640 --> 00:50:08,560 Speaker 1: good things about that. I really appreciate you. You kind 1101 00:50:08,600 --> 00:50:11,200 Speaker 1: of ruined stature in my eyes, Like wow, oh now, 1102 00:50:11,280 --> 00:50:12,839 Speaker 1: seriously you come out on the show and start talking 1103 00:50:12,880 --> 00:50:15,399 Speaker 1: about mister Wilson like that. It's like that's impressive. Thank 1104 00:50:15,440 --> 00:50:18,600 Speaker 1: you for that, and thank you for joining us today. Steve. 1105 00:50:18,680 --> 00:50:21,160 Speaker 1: As a question for you, not not really, I was 1106 00:50:21,200 --> 00:50:23,280 Speaker 1: just we have all kinds of questions for you, basically. 1107 00:50:23,280 --> 00:50:25,719 Speaker 1: But you've been you've been covering the Patriots, doing the 1108 00:50:25,840 --> 00:50:27,960 Speaker 1: mccordy Twins. You've had a chance to speak and hang 1109 00:50:28,040 --> 00:50:30,839 Speaker 1: out with those guys and special couple of guys. Yeah, 1110 00:50:31,040 --> 00:50:34,160 Speaker 1: that they're really going to play a Super Bowl is 1111 00:50:34,160 --> 00:50:37,239 Speaker 1: twins together the same thing? Pretty cool. It's amazing. I mean, 1112 00:50:37,480 --> 00:50:39,719 Speaker 1: first of all, it's amazing. Right, they played all the 1113 00:50:39,760 --> 00:50:42,240 Speaker 1: way from Pop Warner. They went to the same college. 1114 00:50:42,920 --> 00:50:45,520 Speaker 1: Jason was sort of ahead of Devon at that point, 1115 00:50:45,680 --> 00:50:49,640 Speaker 1: so Rutgers offered Devin a scholarship to get Jason to 1116 00:50:49,719 --> 00:50:52,480 Speaker 1: commit um and then you know, for the very first 1117 00:50:52,520 --> 00:50:54,520 Speaker 1: time in their lives, they were separated when they went 1118 00:50:54,560 --> 00:50:56,759 Speaker 1: into the NFL, and then of course Devin's career really 1119 00:50:56,840 --> 00:51:00,440 Speaker 1: took off at the Patriots, um, you know, and then 1120 00:51:00,560 --> 00:51:03,279 Speaker 1: Jason last year was about to be released by the 1121 00:51:03,360 --> 00:51:07,160 Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns, and you know, Devin said to Bill Belichick, like, 1122 00:51:07,560 --> 00:51:10,120 Speaker 1: you know, two mcquardies are better than one. And I 1123 00:51:10,160 --> 00:51:12,680 Speaker 1: don't know if that you know, swayed Bill Belichick. But 1124 00:51:13,120 --> 00:51:15,840 Speaker 1: the trade was made and they were reunited. It's a 1125 00:51:15,920 --> 00:51:19,400 Speaker 1: remarkable story. And you know, I have to think that 1126 00:51:19,560 --> 00:51:22,680 Speaker 1: if they win the Super Bowl together, it certainly sounds 1127 00:51:22,760 --> 00:51:28,719 Speaker 1: like there might be some consideration of retiring. That's not clear. 1128 00:51:28,880 --> 00:51:32,280 Speaker 1: Devin sort of indicated, you know this week that retirement 1129 00:51:32,400 --> 00:51:34,399 Speaker 1: is not off the table. He wouldn't let out. When 1130 00:51:34,440 --> 00:51:37,120 Speaker 1: I talked to them, you know, they sort of said, look, 1131 00:51:37,160 --> 00:51:39,120 Speaker 1: you know, they're starting They did a podcast. They started 1132 00:51:39,120 --> 00:51:40,879 Speaker 1: a podcast this year, and they said, look, we're thirty 1133 00:51:40,920 --> 00:51:43,279 Speaker 1: one years old. We're starting to think about, you know, 1134 00:51:43,400 --> 00:51:46,680 Speaker 1: what's next. Could there be something in podcasting? So they're 1135 00:51:46,719 --> 00:51:49,520 Speaker 1: clearly looked. They're very smart guys and they've really got 1136 00:51:49,560 --> 00:51:52,080 Speaker 1: their acts together. So they're clearly thinking about what their 1137 00:51:52,120 --> 00:51:54,520 Speaker 1: lives will be like after football. They're both part of 1138 00:51:54,560 --> 00:51:57,320 Speaker 1: a very good, experienced secondary. Maybe the strength of that 1139 00:51:57,480 --> 00:51:59,920 Speaker 1: New England defense, wouldn't you say, Yeah, no question about it. 1140 00:52:00,080 --> 00:52:03,719 Speaker 1: I'm I'm struck by how much this team reminds me 1141 00:52:03,880 --> 00:52:07,920 Speaker 1: of the early incarnation of Patriots teams when at the 1142 00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:10,800 Speaker 1: start of the dynasty, which was you know, not what 1143 00:52:10,960 --> 00:52:12,560 Speaker 1: we have come to think of as the Patriots, Like 1144 00:52:12,680 --> 00:52:14,839 Speaker 1: that explosive offense that we got used to when Randy 1145 00:52:14,880 --> 00:52:17,839 Speaker 1: Moss was there. This is a lot of running. They 1146 00:52:17,920 --> 00:52:22,720 Speaker 1: sort of grind the clockdown, short passes, defense, special teams. 1147 00:52:23,640 --> 00:52:26,840 Speaker 1: This reminds me of those early championship teams. Well, this 1148 00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:29,400 Speaker 1: is a game where a lot of people, particularly is 1149 00:52:29,600 --> 00:52:33,319 Speaker 1: Murph alluded to in the update, particularly those in New Orleans, 1150 00:52:33,360 --> 00:52:35,320 Speaker 1: who think maybe the Rams shouldn't even be in this 1151 00:52:36,200 --> 00:52:38,440 Speaker 1: what is it? And Roger Goodell had to address it 1152 00:52:38,560 --> 00:52:41,160 Speaker 1: in his State of the League address. What do you 1153 00:52:41,239 --> 00:52:43,280 Speaker 1: what are your thoughts about what happened in the championship 1154 00:52:43,320 --> 00:52:47,560 Speaker 1: game with the non call on Nikale Roby Coleman. Well, 1155 00:52:47,760 --> 00:52:50,160 Speaker 1: I mean, there's no question it's obviously a blown call 1156 00:52:50,280 --> 00:52:53,680 Speaker 1: at the worst possible moment. It might be, no exaggeration, 1157 00:52:53,760 --> 00:52:57,760 Speaker 1: the most consequential missed call in the history of the NFL. 1158 00:52:57,920 --> 00:53:00,640 Speaker 1: I mean, it may have determined which team is in 1159 00:53:00,680 --> 00:53:06,160 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, so it's obviously terrible. Having said that, 1160 00:53:06,440 --> 00:53:10,759 Speaker 1: I thought Roger Goodell's comments were pretty measured the other day. 1161 00:53:10,880 --> 00:53:12,600 Speaker 1: First of all, he didn't even really come out and 1162 00:53:12,719 --> 00:53:15,120 Speaker 1: say we blew it right. He didn't really show a 1163 00:53:15,160 --> 00:53:17,760 Speaker 1: whole lot of contrition. He said, you know, officials are human. 1164 00:53:17,960 --> 00:53:21,560 Speaker 1: This game is not officiated by robots. But I thought 1165 00:53:21,600 --> 00:53:24,360 Speaker 1: he left a whole lot of room for the Competition 1166 00:53:24,400 --> 00:53:27,960 Speaker 1: Committee to not change anything. He shot down the idea 1167 00:53:28,040 --> 00:53:31,560 Speaker 1: of adding an official with which some officials think might help, 1168 00:53:31,760 --> 00:53:35,239 Speaker 1: having another pair of eyes on the plays. He said, like, 1169 00:53:35,400 --> 00:53:38,360 Speaker 1: you know, we've looked at replay for judgment calls like 1170 00:53:38,440 --> 00:53:41,760 Speaker 1: past interference before and there's there hasn't been enough support 1171 00:53:41,800 --> 00:53:43,400 Speaker 1: for it. So we'll go look at it again. But 1172 00:53:43,520 --> 00:53:45,480 Speaker 1: you know, you don't want to create something that then 1173 00:53:45,560 --> 00:53:49,680 Speaker 1: has unintended consequences. So there's no question the Competition Committee 1174 00:53:49,719 --> 00:53:53,800 Speaker 1: is going to look at this. But after hearing those comments, 1175 00:53:53,800 --> 00:53:55,440 Speaker 1: I would not be surprised if they come out of 1176 00:53:55,480 --> 00:53:58,360 Speaker 1: it with nothing changed. Well, the interesting thing in my 1177 00:53:58,719 --> 00:54:01,080 Speaker 1: partner here, John Murphy, had the best idea I've heard 1178 00:54:01,680 --> 00:54:05,640 Speaker 1: and that I hate to say that, but it kills 1179 00:54:05,680 --> 00:54:07,839 Speaker 1: me to say, but it really is. He said, Listen, 1180 00:54:07,840 --> 00:54:10,840 Speaker 1: if they're gonna a lot of people, the first thing is, hey, 1181 00:54:10,920 --> 00:54:13,440 Speaker 1: let's put a chip in the football, Let's put let's 1182 00:54:13,600 --> 00:54:15,560 Speaker 1: spot the ball with laser beams. Let's get a little 1183 00:54:15,600 --> 00:54:18,840 Speaker 1: technology and his ideas. Listen, let's not invest in that, 1184 00:54:19,160 --> 00:54:21,960 Speaker 1: let's invest in the human side of it. Yeah, to 1185 00:54:22,120 --> 00:54:25,520 Speaker 1: bring more full time officials, Make them year round, give 1186 00:54:25,560 --> 00:54:28,160 Speaker 1: them train and give them film study, make their make 1187 00:54:28,239 --> 00:54:31,400 Speaker 1: them take this more seriously. Give them some help on 1188 00:54:31,640 --> 00:54:34,800 Speaker 1: their end rather than taking more away from them, Just 1189 00:54:34,960 --> 00:54:37,160 Speaker 1: train them better and give them them more. Put money 1190 00:54:37,200 --> 00:54:41,000 Speaker 1: behind those guys. Kevin dem Off, the RAMS executive, He 1191 00:54:41,120 --> 00:54:45,319 Speaker 1: talked about this on Opening Night Monday night. He thinks 1192 00:54:45,440 --> 00:54:48,760 Speaker 1: rather than being reactive and changing the rules and changing replay, 1193 00:54:49,200 --> 00:54:51,560 Speaker 1: that the league needs to take a step back and say, 1194 00:54:51,800 --> 00:54:54,440 Speaker 1: how do we give the tools to the officials to 1195 00:54:54,520 --> 00:54:56,919 Speaker 1: make them better? Are we training them enough? He said, 1196 00:54:56,920 --> 00:54:59,320 Speaker 1: you know, there's no more NFL Europe, so there's no 1197 00:54:59,440 --> 00:55:02,440 Speaker 1: real training ground. You're counting on college football to be 1198 00:55:02,520 --> 00:55:05,120 Speaker 1: the only training ground. Should they be training them the 1199 00:55:05,200 --> 00:55:07,160 Speaker 1: way you train airline pilots you put them in a 1200 00:55:07,239 --> 00:55:09,399 Speaker 1: flight simulator. Is there a way to make a game 1201 00:55:09,480 --> 00:55:13,520 Speaker 1: simulator for officials and train them that way? But like, 1202 00:55:14,160 --> 00:55:16,839 Speaker 1: give them the tools to get better rather than going 1203 00:55:16,920 --> 00:55:19,560 Speaker 1: back and tinkering with the rule book and changing replay. 1204 00:55:19,880 --> 00:55:23,319 Speaker 1: He doesn't like the reactive part of it. But again, 1205 00:55:23,440 --> 00:55:25,919 Speaker 1: I was surprised that Roger Adalt did not come out 1206 00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:28,719 Speaker 1: and indicate something that he wanted. I would not be 1207 00:55:28,800 --> 00:55:31,879 Speaker 1: surprised if they come out of this offseason having changed nothing. 1208 00:55:32,200 --> 00:55:34,200 Speaker 1: Not only would not be surprised, I wouldn't mind that. 1209 00:55:34,280 --> 00:55:36,640 Speaker 1: I don't think, you know, get the officials better, train 1210 00:55:36,719 --> 00:55:38,920 Speaker 1: them better. Yeah, you don't need all kind of technology. 1211 00:55:38,960 --> 00:55:41,600 Speaker 1: But one thing the commissioner said, which I hadn't thought 1212 00:55:41,640 --> 00:55:44,040 Speaker 1: of it I thought was really correct. This is a 1213 00:55:44,160 --> 00:55:47,160 Speaker 1: no call. You want to use replay for no calls. 1214 00:55:47,280 --> 00:55:50,080 Speaker 1: That was a whole game, a whole game. That was 1215 00:55:50,080 --> 00:55:51,440 Speaker 1: a point made to me by a member of the 1216 00:55:51,480 --> 00:55:55,160 Speaker 1: competition committee almost immediately after the call was made, saying, yeah, 1217 00:55:55,239 --> 00:55:57,799 Speaker 1: they've looked at, you know, making pass interference and maybe 1218 00:55:57,840 --> 00:55:59,680 Speaker 1: even roughing the pass or reviewable. He's like, but that 1219 00:55:59,719 --> 00:56:02,239 Speaker 1: would if even addressed what happened in New Orleans. That 1220 00:56:02,360 --> 00:56:04,160 Speaker 1: was a no call, and there's no way they're going 1221 00:56:04,280 --> 00:56:08,239 Speaker 1: there because every touchdown run the opposing coach would throw 1222 00:56:08,280 --> 00:56:10,400 Speaker 1: the flag and say, look at the left tackle he's holding. 1223 00:56:10,520 --> 00:56:13,719 Speaker 1: That's right. So you know that's not going to solve 1224 00:56:13,800 --> 00:56:16,600 Speaker 1: that problem. And it's not. And it's just and we 1225 00:56:16,719 --> 00:56:19,400 Speaker 1: knew it when it happened. We've had this conversation a ton. 1226 00:56:19,480 --> 00:56:21,439 Speaker 1: It's a slippery slope that they got into the minute 1227 00:56:21,480 --> 00:56:23,279 Speaker 1: they started going to replay what it was going to be, 1228 00:56:23,600 --> 00:56:25,719 Speaker 1: and they've tried to tinker with it and fine tune it, 1229 00:56:25,760 --> 00:56:28,840 Speaker 1: and they have. They've gotten it quicker, they've gotten more succinct, 1230 00:56:28,840 --> 00:56:31,279 Speaker 1: they've gotten the given the officials more freedom within that 1231 00:56:31,760 --> 00:56:33,920 Speaker 1: within the replay to say, okay, I saw it from 1232 00:56:33,960 --> 00:56:37,160 Speaker 1: this angle and this other angle. I can I know 1233 00:56:37,280 --> 00:56:39,280 Speaker 1: what I saw here. It doesn't show on this angle, 1234 00:56:39,320 --> 00:56:41,600 Speaker 1: but I know that happened, so I can, you know, 1235 00:56:41,760 --> 00:56:44,880 Speaker 1: cross reference and use it and make the call and 1236 00:56:44,960 --> 00:56:48,160 Speaker 1: get it right. So they've gotten it better, But I 1237 00:56:48,200 --> 00:56:50,919 Speaker 1: don't know, and I get it. It's a bad call 1238 00:56:51,160 --> 00:56:55,000 Speaker 1: at the worst possible time the Saints fans, But listen, 1239 00:56:55,040 --> 00:56:56,760 Speaker 1: they still had a chance to win in and overtime, 1240 00:56:56,800 --> 00:56:58,279 Speaker 1: they had the ball, they had all this stuff going 1241 00:56:58,360 --> 00:57:03,480 Speaker 1: and I listen, get in line. Yeah right, These plays 1242 00:57:03,520 --> 00:57:06,040 Speaker 1: have been happening since the league began. That's why we 1243 00:57:06,200 --> 00:57:09,440 Speaker 1: have replayed because it happened to other teams. It happened, 1244 00:57:09,440 --> 00:57:12,719 Speaker 1: you know, the death catch, you know, the it can 1245 00:57:12,800 --> 00:57:14,759 Speaker 1: go all the way back to Mike renfro and the 1246 00:57:14,880 --> 00:57:16,960 Speaker 1: Houston Oilers getting both feet in the back of the 1247 00:57:17,040 --> 00:57:20,080 Speaker 1: end zone in three Rivers Stadium and not giving the touchdown. 1248 00:57:20,680 --> 00:57:24,120 Speaker 1: All this stuff, and you'll have Raiders well it's Raiders exect, 1249 00:57:24,440 --> 00:57:27,840 Speaker 1: but they'll say the immaculate reception was illegal. Right. It 1250 00:57:27,920 --> 00:57:30,080 Speaker 1: goes all the way back, So I get it. It 1251 00:57:30,200 --> 00:57:32,800 Speaker 1: was a bad spot in a championship game, but it 1252 00:57:32,840 --> 00:57:34,760 Speaker 1: has happened before, and we'll be all right, yeah, you 1253 00:57:34,800 --> 00:57:36,480 Speaker 1: know if the league's gotta feel like listen, Okay, I 1254 00:57:36,560 --> 00:57:38,840 Speaker 1: get it, but we're gonna weather this storm, right right, 1255 00:57:38,880 --> 00:57:42,200 Speaker 1: and I and I think that's ultimately what will happen. Right. 1256 00:57:42,360 --> 00:57:44,880 Speaker 1: I would be surprised. Yeah, let's put it this way. 1257 00:57:44,880 --> 00:57:47,000 Speaker 1: I would be really surprised to fade you anything drastic. 1258 00:57:47,200 --> 00:57:50,480 Speaker 1: Nothing's going to happen. I don't say nothing, but whatever 1259 00:57:50,600 --> 00:57:54,960 Speaker 1: it is, I think, yeah, we're Judy Petissa She covers 1260 00:57:54,960 --> 00:57:57,160 Speaker 1: the NFL for NFL Never. You can follow her on 1261 00:57:57,320 --> 00:58:00,160 Speaker 1: Twitter at Judy Petisa and part of the NFL fill 1262 00:58:00,200 --> 00:58:02,680 Speaker 1: network coverage. More than ninety hours of live Super Bowl 1263 00:58:02,760 --> 00:58:04,880 Speaker 1: week coverage from Atlantic. Is that enough? Do you think 1264 00:58:04,920 --> 00:58:08,480 Speaker 1: that I'm not doing all of it? Yeah? But how much? 1265 00:58:08,760 --> 00:58:10,160 Speaker 1: Only how much he's done game? Did you just like 1266 00:58:10,240 --> 00:58:14,080 Speaker 1: eight and a half. There's nothing barely even covering a 1267 00:58:14,160 --> 00:58:15,880 Speaker 1: couple of other NFL issues. I want to talk to 1268 00:58:15,920 --> 00:58:18,440 Speaker 1: you about an announcement earlier this week. I think it 1269 00:58:18,520 --> 00:58:20,520 Speaker 1: was this week, maybe have been last week. I'm confused 1270 00:58:21,000 --> 00:58:23,800 Speaker 1: the senior bowld last week about concussions. The league says 1271 00:58:23,880 --> 00:58:25,720 Speaker 1: the rate of concussions went down. What do you know 1272 00:58:25,800 --> 00:58:29,080 Speaker 1: about that? And Steve gets go ahead? And I don't 1273 00:58:29,120 --> 00:58:31,200 Speaker 1: know to trust the league on this. I don't know 1274 00:58:31,320 --> 00:58:33,080 Speaker 1: that I should trust these numbers that come out of 1275 00:58:33,080 --> 00:58:36,320 Speaker 1: the league. Well, I'll say this, last year, the concussion 1276 00:58:36,520 --> 00:58:39,000 Speaker 1: rate spiked and they were alarmed, and you know, they 1277 00:58:39,040 --> 00:58:41,800 Speaker 1: put those numbers out and they were clearly not complimentaries 1278 00:58:41,840 --> 00:58:44,680 Speaker 1: at the NFL um and I think they were alarmed 1279 00:58:44,760 --> 00:58:47,760 Speaker 1: by it, and they took some pretty serious steps rules changes. 1280 00:58:47,800 --> 00:58:51,120 Speaker 1: You know, we saw pretty big changes to the kickoff. Um, 1281 00:58:51,440 --> 00:58:53,439 Speaker 1: you saw the low you know, the helmet rule, which 1282 00:58:53,600 --> 00:58:57,400 Speaker 1: you know has been problematic officiating it. But um, so 1283 00:58:58,040 --> 00:59:01,400 Speaker 1: these are initial injury numbers from the regular season, and 1284 00:59:01,480 --> 00:59:05,040 Speaker 1: it indicates that concussions are down. They did more concussion 1285 00:59:05,120 --> 00:59:08,640 Speaker 1: screenings this year, sideline screenings than they've ever done before. 1286 00:59:09,200 --> 00:59:13,640 Speaker 1: They estimate they do four screenings for every one concussion diagnose, 1287 00:59:13,760 --> 00:59:16,240 Speaker 1: so you know, they're looking at a lot of guys. 1288 00:59:16,320 --> 00:59:21,280 Speaker 1: They're being overly cautious. Wrong that nothing wrong with that. 1289 00:59:21,400 --> 00:59:24,360 Speaker 1: I think they they're happy with that ratio. So the 1290 00:59:24,440 --> 00:59:26,760 Speaker 1: initial indication is that the numbers are down. What they 1291 00:59:26,800 --> 00:59:29,680 Speaker 1: can't say yet is why was it because of those 1292 00:59:29,760 --> 00:59:33,680 Speaker 1: rules changes? Is it because more players are wearing better helmets? 1293 00:59:33,800 --> 00:59:37,200 Speaker 1: You know, they've also mandated you know, improved helmets need 1294 00:59:37,240 --> 00:59:40,000 Speaker 1: to be used. So what led to it? You know, 1295 00:59:40,080 --> 00:59:42,880 Speaker 1: they're gonna now they break down the numbers, but initially 1296 00:59:43,080 --> 00:59:45,240 Speaker 1: the numbers look good. Yeah. One of the things they 1297 00:59:45,280 --> 00:59:49,200 Speaker 1: had about those concussions was surprisingly it was on kickoffs, 1298 00:59:49,200 --> 00:59:51,800 Speaker 1: a lot of them, and they were getting you know, 1299 00:59:52,000 --> 00:59:53,960 Speaker 1: the ball would go out of the end zone, but 1300 00:59:54,080 --> 00:59:56,360 Speaker 1: the guys would still collide right, you know, and they 1301 00:59:56,400 --> 00:59:59,560 Speaker 1: were getting concussions on plays it didn't even count right, 1302 01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:01,720 Speaker 1: and that was alarming to them as well, and they 1303 01:00:01,760 --> 01:00:03,800 Speaker 1: wanted to and that's they probably went the other way 1304 01:00:03,840 --> 01:00:05,720 Speaker 1: too much. Now now that you know, we hardly ever 1305 01:00:05,760 --> 01:00:09,280 Speaker 1: see a kickoff return correctly, and we're not seeing any 1306 01:00:09,400 --> 01:00:12,480 Speaker 1: on side kicks anymore. Right, can't get her, you can't 1307 01:00:12,520 --> 01:00:16,280 Speaker 1: get it right? Yeah so, but but look, obviously they'd 1308 01:00:16,360 --> 01:00:18,320 Speaker 1: rather have the numbers going in this direction than the 1309 01:00:18,360 --> 01:00:20,280 Speaker 1: way it was going last year. One more off field 1310 01:00:20,360 --> 01:00:22,160 Speaker 1: issue to ask you about, Judy, and that's a the 1311 01:00:22,320 --> 01:00:26,840 Speaker 1: Rooney rule. Minority coaches. Um, you know, a spate of 1312 01:00:26,960 --> 01:00:29,760 Speaker 1: coaching hires right after the season ended, and I think 1313 01:00:29,800 --> 01:00:31,840 Speaker 1: there was a little bit of alarm that the African 1314 01:00:31,880 --> 01:00:35,000 Speaker 1: Americans were not represented in the new hires. I don't 1315 01:00:35,000 --> 01:00:37,040 Speaker 1: know what the league can do to what should they do. 1316 01:00:37,080 --> 01:00:39,720 Speaker 1: Should they monitor that and say, hey, we're down here, 1317 01:00:39,800 --> 01:00:41,560 Speaker 1: let's hire a few minorities. I don't know how they 1318 01:00:41,600 --> 01:00:45,480 Speaker 1: can babysit that well. Uh. There, It was an alarming 1319 01:00:45,600 --> 01:00:49,280 Speaker 1: year m for diversity. Eight coaches were fired, five of 1320 01:00:49,320 --> 01:00:53,440 Speaker 1: them were minority coaches. Right now, assuming that Brian Flores 1321 01:00:53,520 --> 01:00:56,200 Speaker 1: gets the Miami Dolphins job, they will have had only 1322 01:00:56,360 --> 01:00:59,720 Speaker 1: one minority coach hire. That's obviously not going in the 1323 01:01:00,000 --> 01:01:03,960 Speaker 1: action that they want Unix. Well, I think what they 1324 01:01:04,040 --> 01:01:07,320 Speaker 1: can do is they can't mandate that anybody hire anybody, right, 1325 01:01:07,320 --> 01:01:09,000 Speaker 1: they're not going to the owners would never go from 1326 01:01:10,040 --> 01:01:12,640 Speaker 1: you can't fire him because they can't do that. That's 1327 01:01:12,680 --> 01:01:14,640 Speaker 1: got to be an individual team decision. But what they 1328 01:01:14,720 --> 01:01:18,400 Speaker 1: can do is improve the pipeline so that when everybody 1329 01:01:18,480 --> 01:01:20,920 Speaker 1: says we got to get a young offensive coordinator or 1330 01:01:20,920 --> 01:01:24,120 Speaker 1: who's a quarterback, whisper that it's not all you know, 1331 01:01:24,560 --> 01:01:28,000 Speaker 1: thirty year old guys who look like Sean McVeigh. Not 1332 01:01:28,080 --> 01:01:31,840 Speaker 1: that against Sean McVay, who's obviously great, but they need 1333 01:01:31,920 --> 01:01:34,280 Speaker 1: to get more minority coaches. One of the things that 1334 01:01:34,360 --> 01:01:37,520 Speaker 1: people were concerned at even before the hiring cycle started 1335 01:01:37,640 --> 01:01:40,200 Speaker 1: was that they knew owners were going to be looking 1336 01:01:40,280 --> 01:01:45,080 Speaker 1: for offensive minded coaches. That is the weakest pipeline. Colleges 1337 01:01:45,480 --> 01:01:48,600 Speaker 1: are a weak pipeline. The best pipeline for minority coaches 1338 01:01:48,920 --> 01:01:50,920 Speaker 1: is from the defensive side of the ball, and that's 1339 01:01:51,000 --> 01:01:52,720 Speaker 1: just not where the hires were coming from. So the 1340 01:01:52,840 --> 01:01:56,680 Speaker 1: challenges for them to bulk up the people in the 1341 01:01:56,760 --> 01:01:59,040 Speaker 1: pipeline on the offensive side, and I think you're going 1342 01:01:59,080 --> 01:02:01,200 Speaker 1: to see what the league we'll do take some innovative 1343 01:02:01,240 --> 01:02:05,680 Speaker 1: steps like maybe fun sort of fellowship positions, pay for 1344 01:02:06,160 --> 01:02:08,960 Speaker 1: you know, low level entry level jobs like quality control 1345 01:02:09,040 --> 01:02:11,440 Speaker 1: coaches on the offensive side of the ball, but to 1346 01:02:11,560 --> 01:02:15,480 Speaker 1: try to get some young minority coaches in the pipeline, 1347 01:02:15,520 --> 01:02:17,439 Speaker 1: you know, the pipe. You're right, the pipeline is a team. 1348 01:02:17,520 --> 01:02:20,240 Speaker 1: Our guest a couple of weeks ago, Dominique Foxworth memory him. 1349 01:02:20,240 --> 01:02:21,960 Speaker 1: You ever dealt with him? Yeah, he wrote a kind 1350 01:02:21,960 --> 01:02:24,440 Speaker 1: of them a year ago that we actually talk to 1351 01:02:24,520 --> 01:02:26,080 Speaker 1: him about it on our show and brought him back 1352 01:02:26,120 --> 01:02:28,080 Speaker 1: this year when this is being discussed. I think he's 1353 01:02:28,120 --> 01:02:30,720 Speaker 1: one hundred percent right. The pipeline is the issue. You 1354 01:02:30,800 --> 01:02:34,480 Speaker 1: can't just say who's the hot young offensive coordinator, defensive coordinator. 1355 01:02:34,640 --> 01:02:37,120 Speaker 1: Let's train guys to be head coaches an overall look 1356 01:02:37,120 --> 01:02:38,680 Speaker 1: at the game. Yeah, train them. You know, we have 1357 01:02:38,800 --> 01:02:43,360 Speaker 1: a training system to find head coaches and coach Tony 1358 01:02:43,440 --> 01:02:47,160 Speaker 1: Dungee has told me multiple times that many owners can't 1359 01:02:47,200 --> 01:02:49,320 Speaker 1: really articulate what they're looking for when they go to 1360 01:02:49,360 --> 01:02:51,760 Speaker 1: look for a head coach. They'll call Tony Dungee and say, 1361 01:02:51,960 --> 01:02:54,760 Speaker 1: who should we be talking to who's out there, and 1362 01:02:54,880 --> 01:02:57,160 Speaker 1: Dungee will say to them, well, what do you want, Like, 1363 01:02:57,320 --> 01:03:00,640 Speaker 1: do you want a guy who wants big off defensive lineman. 1364 01:03:00,680 --> 01:03:02,520 Speaker 1: Do you want to be a tough defensive team? Do 1365 01:03:02,560 --> 01:03:04,440 Speaker 1: you want to explosive am? Like what are you looking for? 1366 01:03:04,600 --> 01:03:08,040 Speaker 1: And he said, you know, owners can't always articulate that, 1367 01:03:08,640 --> 01:03:11,080 Speaker 1: and so that's when you get the knee jerk. I 1368 01:03:11,200 --> 01:03:14,120 Speaker 1: need to hire everybody on Sean mcvay's offensive staff. You know, 1369 01:03:14,280 --> 01:03:19,120 Speaker 1: that's we'll see. Yeah, it's and it's difficult because you 1370 01:03:19,520 --> 01:03:21,720 Speaker 1: really want is a top executive. You want a guy 1371 01:03:21,800 --> 01:03:24,400 Speaker 1: that that goes from the top down. Yeah, and an 1372 01:03:24,480 --> 01:03:27,520 Speaker 1: owner wants to a guy who's been successful in other 1373 01:03:28,200 --> 01:03:31,720 Speaker 1: industries to get somebody who can be successful in this industry. 1374 01:03:32,040 --> 01:03:34,640 Speaker 1: And it starts, like we've seen some of the great 1375 01:03:34,680 --> 01:03:36,640 Speaker 1: head coaches, that starts with a leader. John Harbo was 1376 01:03:36,640 --> 01:03:40,800 Speaker 1: a special teams coach's right, you know, Um, Sean McVay was, 1377 01:03:41,000 --> 01:03:43,280 Speaker 1: you know, an offensive guy. And you know he's young, right, 1378 01:03:43,640 --> 01:03:46,120 Speaker 1: he's got a great leadership skills, right, leadership skills, And 1379 01:03:46,200 --> 01:03:48,760 Speaker 1: I think that's the thing that that they miss. It's 1380 01:03:48,800 --> 01:03:52,520 Speaker 1: the overarching view forget about offensive defense. Can they be 1381 01:03:53,280 --> 01:03:55,640 Speaker 1: can they be a leader of men? It's about people exactly, Judy, 1382 01:03:55,640 --> 01:03:57,720 Speaker 1: our last question for you is either the simplest or 1383 01:03:58,000 --> 01:04:00,880 Speaker 1: most difficult question. Will ask you gonna win Sunday? You 1384 01:04:00,960 --> 01:04:03,440 Speaker 1: think it's a simple answer. I think it's the Patriots 1385 01:04:03,480 --> 01:04:05,400 Speaker 1: in a close game because I've seen too many of 1386 01:04:05,480 --> 01:04:08,760 Speaker 1: them to pick Otherwise, I could I try to make 1387 01:04:08,800 --> 01:04:11,160 Speaker 1: the argument for the Rams. I do think this can 1388 01:04:11,200 --> 01:04:13,920 Speaker 1: be made. It's made every It's been made nine times. 1389 01:04:14,160 --> 01:04:16,280 Speaker 1: Yeah right, it might be made a few more times. 1390 01:04:16,600 --> 01:04:18,000 Speaker 1: What are your duties this weekend?

When you have the same team 1467 01:08:10,840 --> 01:08:13,760 Speaker 1: coming every year, it gets tough to ask Tom Brady 1468 01:08:13,840 --> 01:08:17,320 Speaker 1: over and over again how cool is it to be handsome? 1469 01:08:17,400 --> 01:08:20,320 Speaker 1: Which I don't mind having that discussion with him in 1470 01:08:20,439 --> 01:08:22,519 Speaker 1: the beginning. The first time I talked to him, I said, 1471 01:08:22,560 --> 01:08:24,880 Speaker 1: when you're getting tackled, do you ever just yell out? 1472 01:08:25,000 --> 01:08:27,400 Speaker 1: Just not the face, like, do you ever? And then 1473 01:08:27,880 --> 01:08:30,840 Speaker 1: he laughed. A year later, I asked him, when you 1474 01:08:31,160 --> 01:08:35,000 Speaker 1: are like when you're Tom Brady, when you're that handsome, 1475 01:08:35,960 --> 01:08:38,599 Speaker 1: when you look in the mirror, does your reflection ever 1476 01:08:38,720 --> 01:08:41,080 Speaker 1: just wink at you, like is it that? I feel 1477 01:08:41,120 --> 01:08:44,479 Speaker 1: like it would be that incredible? And then a year 1478 01:08:44,600 --> 01:08:45,760 Speaker 1: later I had to come up with a new thing. 1479 01:08:45,840 --> 01:08:47,439 Speaker 1: So I came up with an idea to say to 1480 01:08:47,520 --> 01:08:49,120 Speaker 1: Tom Tom my name is Craig Gas, I'm a stand 1481 01:08:49,200 --> 01:08:51,000 Speaker 1: up comedian. This is my friend Jason. This is my 1482 01:08:51,040 --> 01:08:54,919 Speaker 1: buddy Aaron. We were discussing the four of us together 1483 01:08:55,360 --> 01:09:00,719 Speaker 1: and we were ranking most handsome to least handsome, including 1484 01:09:00,760 --> 01:09:03,160 Speaker 1: the four of us. Obviously you're number one because you're 1485 01:09:03,280 --> 01:09:05,840 Speaker 1: Tom Brady, But Tom, who would you rank as number two? 1486 01:09:05,920 --> 01:09:08,720 Speaker 1: And I pointed at myself number three and number four? 1487 01:09:09,080 --> 01:09:11,720 Speaker 1: And Tom actually looked around and went, wait, who am 1488 01:09:11,720 --> 01:09:13,479 Speaker 1: I ranking? And I said, me and this guy and 1489 01:09:13,520 --> 01:09:15,519 Speaker 1: this guy, and he said, all right, fan out, and 1490 01:09:15,600 --> 01:09:17,840 Speaker 1: he made us stand out in a line. And then 1491 01:09:19,360 --> 01:09:23,519 Speaker 1: subconsciously I started sucking in my gut for Tom and 1492 01:09:23,720 --> 01:09:26,120 Speaker 1: pushing my chin out to try to look a little more, 1493 01:09:26,280 --> 01:09:28,040 Speaker 1: you know, try to get rid of whatever's going on here. 1494 01:09:28,479 --> 01:09:30,120 Speaker 1: And he actually ranked us, and then a year later 1495 01:09:30,160 --> 01:09:32,360 Speaker 1: he ranked this again. This year, I just put the 1496 01:09:32,479 --> 01:09:35,640 Speaker 1: video out where I asked him, are you attempting to 1497 01:09:35,800 --> 01:09:38,360 Speaker 1: be the first quarterback in the history of the NFL 1498 01:09:38,520 --> 01:09:41,880 Speaker 1: to play in the Super Bowl against his own son? 1499 01:09:43,040 --> 01:09:45,840 Speaker 1: And his reaction was amazing and the video I just 1500 01:09:45,960 --> 01:09:47,960 Speaker 1: put it out and it's linked up. Have you go 1501 01:09:48,040 --> 01:09:50,720 Speaker 1: to my social media's it's at craig Gas Comedy with 1502 01:09:50,800 --> 01:09:53,600 Speaker 1: two S's at craig Gas Comedy and you'll see the 1503 01:09:53,640 --> 01:09:55,679 Speaker 1: links to the video that I made with the rams 1504 01:09:55,720 --> 01:09:57,840 Speaker 1: and the Patriots and that was just this Monday night.

The Jerky Boys were a pair of guys 1559 01:12:40,000 --> 01:12:43,400 Speaker 1: who released on CD prank phone Calls. They put out 1560 01:12:43,439 --> 01:12:47,360 Speaker 1: like five albums of prank phone calls. Kamal told me 1561 01:12:47,760 --> 01:12:50,760 Speaker 1: this story. He told me fifteen years ago. It was 1562 01:12:50,800 --> 01:12:53,360 Speaker 1: a ten year old story when he told me. Kamal said, 1563 01:12:53,400 --> 01:12:58,160 Speaker 1: He's got a buddy who's an actor wanna be, who's 1564 01:12:58,160 --> 01:13:01,479 Speaker 1: always scheming on how to get close to Hollywood people. 1565 01:13:01,880 --> 01:13:05,479 Speaker 1: He actually introduces himself to people as a background actor. Hi, 1566 01:13:05,520 --> 01:13:08,840 Speaker 1: I'm Tony. I'm a background actor, which is you're an extra. 1567 01:13:08,920 --> 01:13:11,000 Speaker 1: There's no acting involved in standing in the back of 1568 01:13:11,080 --> 01:13:15,000 Speaker 1: his shot. So he calls up Kamal one night and says, listen, 1569 01:13:15,120 --> 01:13:19,920 Speaker 1: I just heard something that Apparently every Tuesday night there's 1570 01:13:19,960 --> 01:13:23,400 Speaker 1: a bar on twenty sixth Street. It's kind of a scene. 1571 01:13:23,520 --> 01:13:27,360 Speaker 1: Every Tuesday, all these actors and industry people show up. 1572 01:13:27,439 --> 01:13:30,120 Speaker 1: It's like it's like a schmooze fest. So why don't 1573 01:13:30,120 --> 01:13:32,200 Speaker 1: we go down. I'll bring my acting reel and we'll 1574 01:13:32,320 --> 01:13:35,000 Speaker 1: like meet people. And Kamala goes, yeah, whatever. He thinks 1575 01:13:35,040 --> 01:13:36,760 Speaker 1: his friend is kind of a joke. So they go 1576 01:13:36,840 --> 01:13:39,200 Speaker 1: to the bar on Tuesday night. They go to the 1577 01:13:39,240 --> 01:13:41,439 Speaker 1: bar in twenty sixth Street.

I mean, there are competitions for chefs, 1659 01:17:54,560 --> 01:17:56,599 Speaker 1: there are, and in the cooking world, I don't really 1660 01:17:56,680 --> 01:17:59,599 Speaker 1: aspire to be a competitor. I feel like the best 1661 01:17:59,680 --> 01:18:01,799 Speaker 1: chefs in the world are those that are natural givers. 1662 01:18:02,120 --> 01:18:04,479 Speaker 1: And to me, it's it's about it's it's feeling special 1663 01:18:04,520 --> 01:18:08,200 Speaker 1: about you, feeling good and really enjoying something that my 1664 01:18:08,360 --> 01:18:11,400 Speaker 1: hands created.

We're 1668 01:18:18,880 --> 01:18:21,479 Speaker 1: gonna get you. Yeah, we'll get away. Everybody's gonna get 1669 01:18:21,479 --> 01:18:24,400 Speaker 1: to the ten. You get this wonderful certified Angus beef 1670 01:18:24,800 --> 01:18:26,880 Speaker 1: as a chef, great piece of beef, what can you 1671 01:18:27,000 --> 01:18:29,519 Speaker 1: do with it? Great question, because you know, listen, it 1672 01:18:29,600 --> 01:18:32,160 Speaker 1: takes two years for a ranch or raising for quality 1673 01:18:32,439 --> 01:18:34,160 Speaker 1: to bring that steak to the table, and they take 1674 01:18:34,200 --> 01:18:35,800 Speaker 1: as a chef, we have about a ten minute and 1675 01:18:35,800 --> 01:18:37,720 Speaker 1: opportunity to do the right thing or not right right, 1676 01:18:37,760 --> 01:18:40,040 Speaker 1: and so he could make up the biggest pitfalls. They 1677 01:18:40,080 --> 01:18:41,720 Speaker 1: just don't have the grill hot enough, or they don't 1678 01:18:41,760 --> 01:18:44,120 Speaker 1: have a quality, quality enough steak. When I'm an amateur, 1679 01:18:44,400 --> 01:18:46,000 Speaker 1: I get a nice piece of steak to cook on 1680 01:18:46,080 --> 01:18:47,920 Speaker 1: the grill. My thought is that let's get to make 1681 01:18:47,960 --> 01:18:50,760 Speaker 1: this great. My thought is let's not screw this up. Right. Well, 1682 01:18:50,800 --> 01:18:53,880 Speaker 1: don't get intimidated. I mean the champ will tell you 1683 01:18:53,960 --> 01:18:55,920 Speaker 1: can't be intimidated to step into the ring with him. 1684 01:18:55,920 --> 01:18:57,600 Speaker 1: I am I let's get to you. I want to 1685 01:18:57,600 --> 01:18:59,840 Speaker 1: ask you when you get to the ring, because I'm 1686 01:18:59,840 --> 01:19:01,479 Speaker 1: a I used to play football right for a long 1687 01:19:01,560 --> 01:19:03,479 Speaker 1: time on that and you used to think, all right, 1688 01:19:03,520 --> 01:19:06,160 Speaker 1: here's what I do that. Let's see him, Let's see 1689 01:19:06,200 --> 01:19:08,000 Speaker 1: him when you got in the ring with all the 1690 01:19:08,120 --> 01:19:11,519 Speaker 1: great fighters, you with Mike Tyson, with with Ken Norton, 1691 01:19:12,120 --> 01:19:14,760 Speaker 1: for him, I mean the list is long and then 1692 01:19:14,880 --> 01:19:18,439 Speaker 1: illustrious the guys you knocked.

Also, the Rams defense 1813 01:24:58,120 --> 01:25:00,479 Speaker 1: was pretty good at creating turnovers. If they can do 1814 01:25:00,600 --> 01:25:03,519 Speaker 1: that and have Goff not play hero ball, then they 1815 01:25:03,600 --> 01:25:05,880 Speaker 1: have a legitimate chance.

Nobody has been 1891 01:28:40,479 --> 01:28:43,720 Speaker 1: able to beat the Patriots badly unless you know, there's 1892 01:28:43,760 --> 01:28:46,200 Speaker 1: a tipped interceptions and turnovers and that kind of thing 1893 01:28:46,240 --> 01:28:48,360 Speaker 1: that happens, and that doesn't happen very often at all 1894 01:28:48,400 --> 01:28:50,880 Speaker 1: to this Patriots team. In fact, it's never happened to 1895 01:28:50,960 --> 01:28:53,160 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl.

I think it's just 1901 01:29:08,200 --> 01:29:11,280 Speaker 1: with you know what. I think it's with a little 1902 01:29:11,280 --> 01:29:12,720 Speaker 1: bit of confidence that you gotta think, you know what, 1903 01:29:12,760 --> 01:29:14,840 Speaker 1: they're gonna play well, and that's a team that plays 1904 01:29:14,880 --> 01:29:16,640 Speaker 1: well on the Super Bowl is hard to beat.

This 2011 01:34:27,320 --> 01:34:30,680 Speaker 1: is a fantastic facility that has all the space that 2012 01:34:30,760 --> 01:34:32,519 Speaker 1: you kind of need for this kind of thing.

I am surprised by that. Thirty eight percent 2035 01:35:30,000 --> 01:35:31,960 Speaker 1: of you think the Patriots will win. Yeah. Look, I 2036 01:35:32,000 --> 01:35:33,840 Speaker 1: know you're not rooting for the Patriots, nor am I, 2037 01:35:35,160 --> 01:35:37,360 Speaker 1: but I think they're gonna win. I mean, I think rams. 2038 01:35:37,439 --> 01:35:39,640 Speaker 1: Victor just told me the Rams are gonna called. No, no, 2039 01:35:39,880 --> 01:35:42,000 Speaker 1: I have calling the Rams to win, and I do 2040 01:35:42,120 --> 01:35:44,400 Speaker 1: think that's gonna happen. But it let me rephrase that, 2041 01:35:44,840 --> 01:35:46,960 Speaker 1: it would be an upset if the Rams win. Well, 2042 01:35:47,080 --> 01:35:48,880 Speaker 1: here's the thing, and people are a little bit on 2043 01:35:49,040 --> 01:35:52,240 Speaker 1: like Nicholas Zakarai, who just tweeted this in Boys, I 2044 01:35:52,360 --> 01:35:54,800 Speaker 1: hate to tell you, but Tom will massacre them. He's 2045 01:35:54,800 --> 01:35:57,720 Speaker 1: forty one years old. We'll never witness this again once 2046 01:35:57,760 --> 01:35:59,519 Speaker 1: in a lifetime, and I think all of us are 2047 01:35:59,560 --> 01:36:02,160 Speaker 1: starting get on that train. Even in the Buffalo where 2048 01:36:02,600 --> 01:36:05,080 Speaker 1: Tom Brady is you know, has no you know not 2049 01:36:05,200 --> 01:36:08,639 Speaker 1: that many friends in the Buffalo region, even the Buffalo 2050 01:36:08,720 --> 01:36:12,400 Speaker 1: fans who have been victimized by his heroics so many times. 2051 01:36:12,840 --> 01:36:14,960 Speaker 1: You gotta shrug your shoulders and say, man, oh man, 2052 01:36:15,240 --> 01:36:18,120 Speaker 1: what a career he has had and he's still having. 2053 01:36:18,280 --> 01:36:20,080 Speaker 1: I mean, he's got at forty one years old, he 2054 01:36:20,200 --> 01:36:23,719 Speaker 1: is in the super Bowl again, and it's pretty amazing. 2055 01:36:24,000 --> 01:36:25,320 Speaker 1: And there's no doubt this is going to be a 2056 01:36:25,360 --> 01:36:28,240 Speaker 1: once in a lifetime, once in our lifetime kind of 2057 01:36:28,360 --> 01:36:30,400 Speaker 1: career that we've seen I'd have had an up close 2058 01:36:30,439 --> 01:36:34,400 Speaker 1: and personal view of in Buffalo in that same division. 2059 01:36:34,439 --> 01:36:37,240 Speaker 1: It's it's pretty amazing. You know. I was just thinking 2060 01:36:37,280 --> 01:36:39,400 Speaker 1: about how I liked this set up for the game 2061 01:36:39,479 --> 01:36:42,120 Speaker 1: and that while I was thinking this, and now I've 2062 01:36:42,160 --> 01:36:44,800 Speaker 1: corrected myself. But neither team is too banged up going 2063 01:36:44,840 --> 01:36:46,519 Speaker 1: into the game. You know, we did the update a 2064 01:36:46,520 --> 01:36:49,639 Speaker 1: couple of illnesses, right, High Tower miss practice yesterday. Yeah, 2065 01:36:49,760 --> 01:36:51,800 Speaker 1: I do think the Rams miss a guy who could 2066 01:36:51,800 --> 01:36:54,600 Speaker 1: have been a potential difference maker in Cooper Cup. I 2067 01:36:54,680 --> 01:36:56,760 Speaker 1: think he could have been a difference maker. Not win 2068 01:36:56,920 --> 01:36:59,160 Speaker 1: or lose with him or without him, but a guy 2069 01:36:59,200 --> 01:37:01,400 Speaker 1: who would have helped their effort to win this game. 2070 01:37:01,439 --> 01:37:04,559 Speaker 1: And I still again I'm picking them as an upset win, 2071 01:37:04,600 --> 01:37:06,759 Speaker 1: but I do think Cooper Cup is a significant loss 2072 01:37:07,160 --> 01:37:10,160 Speaker 1: for the Los Angeles Ramps. And yeah, I know, I 2073 01:37:10,240 --> 01:37:13,120 Speaker 1: just don't know that the Patriots have experienced this year 2074 01:37:13,200 --> 01:37:14,680 Speaker 1: that kind of a loss to their line up due 2075 01:37:14,720 --> 01:37:16,599 Speaker 1: to injury. And there's and there's some people who think 2076 01:37:16,640 --> 01:37:19,639 Speaker 1: the Rams shouldn't even be here to begin with, let alone, Um, 2077 01:37:19,840 --> 01:37:21,880 Speaker 1: where were they when you think that in September when 2078 01:37:21,920 --> 01:37:26,280 Speaker 1: the Rams were rolling everybody in they were one of 2079 01:37:26,280 --> 01:37:27,880 Speaker 1: the best teams in the league right in the start, 2080 01:37:27,920 --> 01:37:30,479 Speaker 1: absolutely along here. Yeah, these are the two best teams 2081 01:37:30,479 --> 01:37:32,519 Speaker 1: in the league. And I having said that, I'm saying 2082 01:37:32,600 --> 01:37:35,439 Speaker 1: I'll tell you this, nobody, no team has ever had 2083 01:37:35,439 --> 01:37:38,439 Speaker 1: to apologize for being in the Super Bowl. You get here, 2084 01:37:38,479 --> 01:37:41,519 Speaker 1: and it's a long road into bumpy road, and you 2085 01:37:41,640 --> 01:37:43,639 Speaker 1: get here because you earn it. There's no no two 2086 01:37:43,640 --> 01:37:45,280 Speaker 1: ways about it. And I don't You can call whatever 2087 01:37:45,360 --> 01:37:48,120 Speaker 1: you want about the non calls or the penalty calls 2088 01:37:48,160 --> 01:37:50,720 Speaker 1: in years past, decades past, where teams have gotten over 2089 01:37:50,800 --> 01:37:54,120 Speaker 1: in the championship game. Listen, you get here, uh, because 2090 01:37:54,160 --> 01:37:57,200 Speaker 1: you earn it. And that's and the Rams are no different. 2091 01:37:57,400 --> 01:37:59,880 Speaker 1: The Rams are no different. So many guests we've had 2092 01:37:59,920 --> 01:38:01,800 Speaker 1: on the show, it's hard to keep track of who 2093 01:38:01,880 --> 01:38:06,639 Speaker 1: said what. But somebody said this. Even after the NIKEL 2094 01:38:06,760 --> 01:38:10,439 Speaker 1: Robie Coleman played and the no call, even after that 2095 01:38:11,760 --> 01:38:13,800 Speaker 1: Saints went to overtime, they had a chance to win, 2096 01:38:13,840 --> 01:38:17,000 Speaker 1: they had the overtime. Yeah, so yeah, it was a 2097 01:38:17,040 --> 01:38:19,479 Speaker 1: horrible call. Uh, they would they could have won it, 2098 01:38:19,640 --> 01:38:21,800 Speaker 1: could have won it at the end of regulation, and 2099 01:38:21,920 --> 01:38:24,599 Speaker 1: the horrible call prevented that from happening. But it wasn't 2100 01:38:24,600 --> 01:38:26,120 Speaker 1: the end of their chance to win it, you know, 2101 01:38:27,479 --> 01:38:30,080 Speaker 1: excuse for a bad call. It was a horrible call, 2102 01:38:30,320 --> 01:38:34,280 Speaker 1: a horrible non call, yea. And not only that, you know, 2103 01:38:34,320 --> 01:38:36,200 Speaker 1: the Saints defense could have held up too and keep 2104 01:38:36,360 --> 01:38:41,040 Speaker 1: kept the Rams from getting a first down, you know. Well, 2105 01:38:41,040 --> 01:38:43,639 Speaker 1: and actually after the interception, I mean that they turned 2106 01:38:43,640 --> 01:38:46,320 Speaker 1: around and actually the Rams defense almost put them out 2107 01:38:46,320 --> 01:38:48,280 Speaker 1: of field goal range a fifty seven yard field goal. 2108 01:38:48,280 --> 01:38:50,400 Speaker 1: If that gets up to sixty one yards or something 2109 01:38:50,439 --> 01:38:53,640 Speaker 1: like that, maybe they don't even try that field goal. So, um, 2110 01:38:54,200 --> 01:38:56,280 Speaker 1: that game was far from over when they when they 2111 01:38:56,320 --> 01:38:58,439 Speaker 1: had the non call, they had a chance to continue 2112 01:38:58,479 --> 01:39:02,080 Speaker 1: on and win that game. So the Rams deserve to 2113 01:39:02,120 --> 01:39:05,200 Speaker 1: be here and listen. Believe me, the Patriots are watching 2114 01:39:05,240 --> 01:39:07,479 Speaker 1: these guys on film going wild. These guys are really good. 2115 01:39:08,439 --> 01:39:10,479 Speaker 1: There's no there's no lack of respect on either side 2116 01:39:10,479 --> 01:39:13,560 Speaker 1: of the football, from the from the Saint, from the Patriots. 2117 01:39:13,880 --> 01:39:15,519 Speaker 1: As far as the Rams are concerned, they know they're 2118 01:39:15,520 --> 01:39:17,559 Speaker 1: facing a really good football to be The Rams went 2119 01:39:17,760 --> 01:39:20,240 Speaker 1: until I'm looking at their schedule here. They went until 2120 01:39:22,080 --> 01:39:25,040 Speaker 1: eight No. Eight one, until November fourth before they lost 2121 01:39:25,120 --> 01:39:26,639 Speaker 1: a game. They're lost to the Saints was the first 2122 01:39:26,680 --> 01:39:29,680 Speaker 1: game they played half a season, eight No. Starting out 2123 01:39:29,720 --> 01:39:32,160 Speaker 1: with a thirty four to nothing shut out, and I'm 2124 01:39:32,200 --> 01:39:34,960 Speaker 1: sorry at thirty three to thirteen win at Oakland on 2125 01:39:35,120 --> 01:39:38,320 Speaker 1: Monday Night football. Shut out the Cardinals thirty four to nothing, 2126 01:39:38,600 --> 01:39:41,400 Speaker 1: put thirty five up against the Chargers, beat them, put 2127 01:39:41,479 --> 01:39:44,200 Speaker 1: thirty eight up against the Vikings, beat them thirty three 2128 01:39:44,280 --> 01:39:48,280 Speaker 1: against Seahawks, thirty nine to ten win over San Francisco. 2129 01:39:49,360 --> 01:39:52,080 Speaker 1: They were rolling, they were rolling, Steve. They beat the 2130 01:39:52,120 --> 01:39:54,439 Speaker 1: Packers twenty nine to twenty seven, and then they finally 2131 01:39:54,520 --> 01:39:57,240 Speaker 1: lost in New Orleans forty five thirty five. On first 2132 01:39:57,280 --> 01:39:59,640 Speaker 1: half of the season, the Rams were by far the 2133 01:39:59,680 --> 01:40:01,599 Speaker 1: best team in the NFL. I've got some I've got 2134 01:40:01,720 --> 01:40:05,400 Speaker 1: some research done for all the cynics in the world 2135 01:40:05,439 --> 01:40:11,360 Speaker 1: and the conspiracy theorists if you want to hear it. Um. Okay, 2136 01:40:11,400 --> 01:40:13,960 Speaker 1: here we go, Los Angeles Rams this year seven and 2137 01:40:14,040 --> 01:40:17,040 Speaker 1: oh in games officiated by this official in this Super Bowl, 2138 01:40:17,880 --> 01:40:21,080 Speaker 1: John Perry. The Patriots are nine and five in games 2139 01:40:21,160 --> 01:40:25,160 Speaker 1: officiated by Perry overall, including the loss this season to 2140 01:40:25,240 --> 01:40:28,400 Speaker 1: the Steelers, and New England had fourteen penalties in that game. 2141 01:40:28,520 --> 01:40:32,439 Speaker 1: That was the second highest penalties in the Bilichick era. No, 2142 01:40:33,040 --> 01:40:35,160 Speaker 1: no Patriot rookie has ever scored a touchdown on a 2143 01:40:35,240 --> 01:40:38,200 Speaker 1: Super Bowl. The Patriots have never had one hundred yard 2144 01:40:38,280 --> 01:40:39,920 Speaker 1: rusher in a Super Bowl. Now, they've rushed as a 2145 01:40:40,000 --> 01:40:41,760 Speaker 1: hundred yards for as a team, but never had a 2146 01:40:41,840 --> 01:40:43,960 Speaker 1: guy rush for one hundred yards in the Super Bowl. 2147 01:40:44,240 --> 01:40:47,320 Speaker 1: The Patriots this year are four and one when they 2148 01:40:47,400 --> 01:40:50,160 Speaker 1: rush for over one hundred and I'm sorry not this 2149 01:40:50,320 --> 01:40:52,680 Speaker 1: year in a Super Bowl. The Patriots are four and 2150 01:40:52,760 --> 01:40:54,960 Speaker 1: one when they rush for over a hundred yards as 2151 01:40:54,960 --> 01:40:59,639 Speaker 1: a team. The Patriots have allowed two hundred yard rushers 2152 01:40:59,720 --> 01:41:02,960 Speaker 1: this season, Jaylen Samuel's and kerry On Johnson, and they 2153 01:41:03,080 --> 01:41:07,120 Speaker 1: lost both games. They lost both of those games m 2154 01:41:07,840 --> 01:41:10,639 Speaker 1: when they score twenty one, twenty four points. The Patriots 2155 01:41:10,680 --> 01:41:13,720 Speaker 1: are thirteen and one this season and they only lost 2156 01:41:13,800 --> 01:41:16,439 Speaker 1: the one game. It was the Miami game, the miracle 2157 01:41:16,479 --> 01:41:19,599 Speaker 1: game in Miami. When and they are o and four 2158 01:41:19,840 --> 01:41:23,160 Speaker 1: if they do not score twenty points. And what do 2159 01:41:23,200 --> 01:41:24,920 Speaker 1: you take from all that? I take it if you 2160 01:41:24,960 --> 01:41:27,120 Speaker 1: can hold them under twenty points, they're hard, they're easier 2161 01:41:27,160 --> 01:41:30,000 Speaker 1: to beat. How about that? Is that a genius move? There? 2162 01:41:30,840 --> 01:41:33,200 Speaker 1: All that is all nuggets from all of that. So 2163 01:41:33,520 --> 01:41:35,200 Speaker 1: we'll see how far it takes us. Hey, we got 2164 01:41:35,320 --> 01:41:36,960 Speaker 1: a guess who just joined us here on our set 2165 01:41:37,000 --> 01:41:39,400 Speaker 1: here at Super Bowl fifty three, joined by the brand 2166 01:41:39,439 --> 01:41:43,240 Speaker 1: new CEO commissioner of the XFL, former NFL quarterback, former 2167 01:41:43,280 --> 01:41:46,479 Speaker 1: West Virginia quarterback and athletic director, Oliver Luck.

Backed up Warren, I knew that Warren 2173 01:42:01,520 --> 01:42:03,400 Speaker 1: was a much better player. Like the first moment I 2174 01:42:03,439 --> 01:42:07,200 Speaker 1: saw him throw hit an unbelievable arm. I had a tremendous, 2175 01:42:08,240 --> 01:42:10,680 Speaker 1: beautiful I will say this though, One time Warren got hurt. 2176 01:42:10,720 --> 01:42:12,200 Speaker 1: One time I got a hip point or something in 2177 01:42:12,280 --> 01:42:14,000 Speaker 1: a Pittsburgh game or something, so all he comes in, 2178 01:42:14,080 --> 01:42:16,479 Speaker 1: he's gonna play. I think it might have been. I 2179 01:42:16,479 --> 01:42:17,800 Speaker 1: don't know we were playing. It seemed like it was 2180 01:42:17,840 --> 01:42:20,560 Speaker 1: a Dallas Cowboys game or something. Did you not? Did you? 2181 01:42:20,720 --> 01:42:22,320 Speaker 1: Or did you know? I told because I told Andrew 2182 01:42:22,439 --> 01:42:24,559 Speaker 1: this when I had a production meeting. I was talking 2183 01:42:24,600 --> 01:42:27,439 Speaker 1: you up, right, so I told him, So it's true 2184 01:42:27,520 --> 01:42:29,720 Speaker 1: or not, it doesn't matter.

It was it was a preseason game. Yeah, 2187 01:42:36,800 --> 01:42:38,920 Speaker 1: it was a preseason game. There's only two quarterbacks on 2188 01:42:39,000 --> 01:42:41,120 Speaker 1: the roster against the Cowboys. I was a it was 2189 01:42:41,200 --> 01:42:43,960 Speaker 1: a Cowboys game, and Warren had a hip point or something, right, 2190 01:42:44,000 --> 01:42:45,320 Speaker 1: So they put me in for the verse of the 2191 01:42:45,479 --> 01:42:48,280 Speaker 1: entire game, and I had I broke my ankle and 2192 01:42:48,560 --> 01:42:51,200 Speaker 1: he played the game. Was nobody else to play? I 2193 01:42:51,240 --> 01:42:53,040 Speaker 1: mean there really literally was nobody else. So I talked 2194 01:42:53,080 --> 01:42:54,479 Speaker 1: you up to Andrew.

Yeah, he struggles with XFL 2254 01:45:57,600 --> 01:45:59,320 Speaker 1: had what a one year run back in two thousand 2255 01:45:59,320 --> 01:46:01,040 Speaker 1: and one, one run, it was one and done. Is 2256 01:46:01,280 --> 01:46:07,080 Speaker 1: what makes this different or better? Successful? More money, right time? 2257 01:46:07,240 --> 01:46:09,360 Speaker 1: You know? They they they they kind of rushed into 2258 01:46:09,560 --> 01:46:12,280 Speaker 1: XFL two thousand and one and it didn't have time 2259 01:46:12,320 --> 01:46:16,080 Speaker 1: to plan. Quite honestly, better football, more time, more money, 2260 01:46:16,120 --> 01:46:18,400 Speaker 1: and what I like to call it, sort of disciplined 2261 01:46:18,439 --> 01:46:21,880 Speaker 1: decision making. I live by the rule that Lamar Hunt 2262 01:46:21,880 --> 01:46:23,280 Speaker 1: taught me when I was working for the NFL as 2263 01:46:23,280 --> 01:46:25,439 Speaker 1: an executive. He said, Oliver, I was running NFL Europe. 2264 01:46:25,439 --> 01:46:28,200 Speaker 1: He said, Oliver, you always have to know who you are, 2265 01:46:28,280 --> 01:46:31,400 Speaker 1: but more importantly, know who you're not. You know, So 2266 01:46:31,600 --> 01:46:34,559 Speaker 1: stay in your lane, focus on building your franchises. Think 2267 01:46:35,040 --> 01:46:38,800 Speaker 1: think of what the USFL would be today. Had they 2268 01:46:38,920 --> 01:46:42,160 Speaker 1: had disciplined decision making, stayed in the spring and built 2269 01:46:42,200 --> 01:46:46,240 Speaker 1: those franchises, that'd be a valuable television property, valuable sports property. 2270 01:46:46,280 --> 01:46:48,640 Speaker 1: But no, they try to do something stupid well, and they, 2271 01:46:48,720 --> 01:46:50,320 Speaker 1: you know, try to take on it. Nobody takes on 2272 01:46:50,360 --> 01:46:52,679 Speaker 1: the NFL. Did you read the book, the Great great book? 2273 01:46:52,680 --> 01:46:55,040 Speaker 1: Great book? Right? In fact, I communicated with Jeff Perlman 2274 01:46:55,080 --> 01:46:57,320 Speaker 1: who wrote it. Yeah, some great stories, Yeah, and it 2275 01:46:57,560 --> 01:46:59,240 Speaker 1: really is gets to the point where there is an 2276 01:46:59,240 --> 01:47:04,320 Speaker 1: appetite for the sport. And really what it comes down 2277 01:47:04,360 --> 01:47:06,679 Speaker 1: to is how do you get it to the fans 2278 01:47:06,720 --> 01:47:09,920 Speaker 1: who want to digest it? And what can you make 2279 01:47:10,280 --> 01:47:13,599 Speaker 1: How can you monetize that? And because I think there 2280 01:47:13,680 --> 01:47:15,600 Speaker 1: are enough guys out there to play and make it. 2281 01:47:15,760 --> 01:47:18,280 Speaker 1: So our research indicates eighty five million football fans in 2282 01:47:18,320 --> 01:47:20,479 Speaker 1: this country, forty millions of whom are die hards, right 2283 01:47:20,560 --> 01:47:22,960 Speaker 1: and three of us right here. And they're folks who 2284 01:47:22,960 --> 01:47:27,439 Speaker 1: have avoid starting on Monday morning this upcoming week, right 2285 01:47:27,439 --> 01:47:29,360 Speaker 1: because there's no more football. My gosh, we're we gonna 2286 01:47:29,400 --> 01:47:31,240 Speaker 1: do so we think we can build a league and 2287 01:47:31,680 --> 01:47:34,120 Speaker 1: attract those folks. Gotta be good football, sure, but they've 2288 01:47:34,160 --> 01:47:36,840 Speaker 1: indicated all this research they will watch, they'll go to games, 2289 01:47:36,920 --> 01:47:39,400 Speaker 1: they'll watch on TV. They'll spend their time, you know, 2290 01:47:39,600 --> 01:47:41,720 Speaker 1: and energy and money, you know, supporting this thing. So 2291 01:47:41,800 --> 01:47:43,920 Speaker 1: I you know, I think it's also a different era 2292 01:47:44,080 --> 01:47:45,760 Speaker 1: from two thousand and one if you think right, and 2293 01:47:45,880 --> 01:47:48,960 Speaker 1: it's the economy, social social media, social media, Twitter and 2294 01:47:49,160 --> 01:47:51,840 Speaker 1: all that stuff. It's easier and over the top broadcasting 2295 01:47:52,080 --> 01:47:54,639 Speaker 1: watch it anywhere. And I also think this right, think 2296 01:47:54,680 --> 01:47:57,680 Speaker 1: of all the good college quarterbacks that we watch and 2297 01:47:57,760 --> 01:47:59,600 Speaker 1: then think of how hard it is to make and 2298 01:48:00,080 --> 01:48:03,679 Speaker 1: fell fifty three man roster, two quarterbacks, thirty two teams, 2299 01:48:03,720 --> 01:48:07,000 Speaker 1: sixty four jobs. There's Tom Brady's not retiring, nor is 2300 01:48:07,240 --> 01:48:10,439 Speaker 1: Ben or Eli or Philip or you know my kid 2301 01:48:10,600 --> 01:48:12,680 Speaker 1: or you know. These guys want to play forever, and 2302 01:48:12,760 --> 01:48:15,040 Speaker 1: as Matt Ryan recently said, the rules now allow you 2303 01:48:15,200 --> 01:48:18,000 Speaker 1: to play seemingly forever right as a quarterback. So my 2304 01:48:18,080 --> 01:48:20,479 Speaker 1: point is there's a whole bunch of very talented guys 2305 01:48:20,520 --> 01:48:22,559 Speaker 1: who just aren't good enough to make that fifty three man. 2306 01:48:22,640 --> 01:48:23,920 Speaker 1: I don't want to put you on the spot, but 2307 01:48:24,439 --> 01:48:28,200 Speaker 1: you know, one other issue that has started to be 2308 01:48:28,320 --> 01:48:32,240 Speaker 1: an issue is the gambling and the legality of it 2309 01:48:32,439 --> 01:48:35,000 Speaker 1: and how much different it's going to be and how 2310 01:48:35,160 --> 01:48:38,840 Speaker 1: much interest it will generate for club that just offers 2311 01:48:38,840 --> 01:48:40,920 Speaker 1: a fair competition for guys to say, Hey, I got 2312 01:48:41,000 --> 01:48:42,880 Speaker 1: five bucks I want to put down on it. Um, 2313 01:48:44,000 --> 01:48:47,280 Speaker 1: how do you guys people like the gamble on sports 2314 01:48:47,560 --> 01:48:52,320 Speaker 1: this weekend? Right? Yeah? Right? Is there is that an 2315 01:48:52,360 --> 01:48:54,800 Speaker 1: issue for you guys out Well, it's something we're trying 2316 01:48:54,840 --> 01:48:56,960 Speaker 1: to understand, right and trying to figure out how do 2317 01:48:57,040 --> 01:48:58,880 Speaker 1: you how do you engage with it? So there's now 2318 01:48:58,920 --> 01:49:01,880 Speaker 1: allowed five or six where sports gambling is legalized. That's 2319 01:49:01,880 --> 01:49:03,720 Speaker 1: gonna that numbers are gonna grow and grow and grow, 2320 01:49:04,040 --> 01:49:05,920 Speaker 1: you know over time. New York State will is very 2321 01:49:06,200 --> 01:49:08,360 Speaker 1: very soon going to be in that in that group, 2322 01:49:08,680 --> 01:49:10,280 Speaker 1: and they all have their different rags, you know, so 2323 01:49:10,360 --> 01:49:12,120 Speaker 1: we're trying to figure out what that what that means. 2324 01:49:12,240 --> 01:49:16,040 Speaker 1: We want people to gamble on, you know, the XFL obviously, 2325 01:49:16,439 --> 01:49:17,800 Speaker 1: and that means you have to have a league with 2326 01:49:17,880 --> 01:49:20,479 Speaker 1: integrity exactly right, And that's that's very important. So that's 2327 01:49:20,520 --> 01:49:22,479 Speaker 1: one of the reasons that my experience with the NFL 2328 01:49:22,600 --> 01:49:24,400 Speaker 1: or with MLS, you know, I've been around leagues long 2329 01:49:24,479 --> 01:49:26,240 Speaker 1: enough to kind of know what you can do, what 2330 01:49:26,360 --> 01:49:28,519 Speaker 1: you have to do, you know, to maintain that integrity 2331 01:49:28,560 --> 01:49:31,040 Speaker 1: with your with your competition. Oliver. The old XFL, the 2332 01:49:31,120 --> 01:49:34,080 Speaker 1: one year XFL, had a reputation of being I don't know, renegade, 2333 01:49:34,120 --> 01:49:36,920 Speaker 1: but innovative, and in fact, some of the innovations were 2334 01:49:37,400 --> 01:49:40,439 Speaker 1: adopted by NFL broadcast in particular, right, you know, sky Camp. 2335 01:49:40,680 --> 01:49:42,840 Speaker 1: Sky Camp came out of that that experience. Do you 2336 01:49:42,880 --> 01:49:46,800 Speaker 1: feel like an obligation to maybe push the forwards. Vince 2337 01:49:46,880 --> 01:49:49,000 Speaker 1: has wanted us to innovate, right, and it's really easy 2338 01:49:49,040 --> 01:49:51,400 Speaker 1: for us to innovate because we're a brand new startup. Right. 2339 01:49:51,400 --> 01:49:53,880 Speaker 1: It's harder for the NFL to innovate because everything you know, 2340 01:49:54,000 --> 01:49:57,560 Speaker 1: so much riding on every snap. We've we've got about 2341 01:49:57,560 --> 01:49:59,360 Speaker 1: a dozen things that you know, that we would like 2342 01:49:59,400 --> 01:50:01,840 Speaker 1: to do differently. Steve would appreciate this as an old 2343 01:50:01,920 --> 01:50:04,000 Speaker 1: special team he's got We've got a different kickoff that 2344 01:50:04,040 --> 01:50:06,120 Speaker 1: we're looking at. Now, we've got a different punt that 2345 01:50:06,160 --> 01:50:08,720 Speaker 1: we're looking at. We've got a different overtime, and we're 2346 01:50:08,760 --> 01:50:10,479 Speaker 1: looking at you know, the number of things that where 2347 01:50:10,520 --> 01:50:12,040 Speaker 1: we think we can innovate and do things a little 2348 01:50:12,040 --> 01:50:13,880 Speaker 1: bit differently. But at the end of the day, you 2349 01:50:14,000 --> 01:50:16,000 Speaker 1: turn on a game and you'll see I think you know, 2350 01:50:16,080 --> 01:50:19,519 Speaker 1: come twenty twenty, you'll see quality football. Eleven on eleven, 2351 01:50:19,640 --> 01:50:22,839 Speaker 1: four downs, same size field. Uh, that's you know, familiar 2352 01:50:22,920 --> 01:50:24,840 Speaker 1: yet a little bit unique. Kick it off a year 2353 01:50:24,920 --> 01:50:26,759 Speaker 1: from now, BA backing off here from now the weekend 2354 01:50:26,800 --> 01:50:28,720 Speaker 1: after next year's Super Bowl. Good luck for that, Thank 2355 01:50:28,720 --> 01:50:31,720 Speaker 1: you for everybody, appreciate he's gone his tea. Thank you 2356 01:50:31,840 --> 01:50:34,640 Speaker 1: appreciate it. Oliver Luck is the CEO and commissioner of 2357 01:50:34,720 --> 01:50:38,800 Speaker 1: the XFL. They start next spring twenty twenty. Um and uh, 2358 01:50:38,960 --> 01:50:42,040 Speaker 1: it's the Vince mcman league. Former Steve Tasker teammate with 2359 01:50:42,160 --> 01:50:44,840 Speaker 1: the Houston Others. What a good guy. I wonder how 2360 01:50:44,880 --> 01:50:47,200 Speaker 1: many interviews he does where he's never asked about Andrew. 2361 01:50:48,240 --> 01:50:51,240 Speaker 1: Probably not many. So he brought him up. He did, kids, 2362 01:50:52,200 --> 01:50:57,040 Speaker 1: I should have brought it. Nah, Oliver one more one 2363 01:50:57,040 --> 01:50:58,880 Speaker 1: of the all time great guys. I was on a 2364 01:50:58,920 --> 01:51:01,280 Speaker 1: team with him for a year and a half. And 2365 01:51:01,960 --> 01:51:04,720 Speaker 1: as he said, he who's back back up, backing up 2366 01:51:04,760 --> 01:51:08,320 Speaker 1: a Hall of Famer and Warren Moon and uh, truly. 2367 01:51:08,880 --> 01:51:11,519 Speaker 1: And you can tell he's been the commissioner of two 2368 01:51:11,560 --> 01:51:14,400 Speaker 1: professional sports lead had a great resume, West Virginia University 2369 01:51:14,400 --> 01:51:19,320 Speaker 1: athletic director, worked at the NCAA. All these lights are on, yeah, yeah, 2370 01:51:19,560 --> 01:51:21,799 Speaker 1: his lights are. He knows what's going on, very articulate. 2371 01:51:21,840 --> 01:51:24,479 Speaker 1: And the answers he had about listen, we're gonna be unique, 2372 01:51:24,479 --> 01:51:28,160 Speaker 1: but we're gonna be very competitive. Um. Vince McMahon picked 2373 01:51:28,200 --> 01:51:29,960 Speaker 1: the right guy, no doubt. Here's the question we didn't 2374 01:51:29,960 --> 01:51:31,719 Speaker 1: get a chance to ask because he's off doing another 2375 01:51:31,800 --> 01:51:34,040 Speaker 1: interview right now. But what about the Alliance. I mean, 2376 01:51:34,080 --> 01:51:35,680 Speaker 1: the Alliance are gonna have a one year jump on him. 2377 01:51:35,680 --> 01:51:38,320 Speaker 1: The Alliance of American Football. They start next week a 2378 01:51:38,360 --> 01:51:40,080 Speaker 1: week for tomorrow, I think is their first game. The 2379 01:51:40,120 --> 01:51:42,120 Speaker 1: one thing he did say that he's he's they've got 2380 01:51:42,160 --> 01:51:43,519 Speaker 1: a handle one. In a couple of weeks, they're gonna 2381 01:51:43,520 --> 01:51:45,400 Speaker 1: announce who their broadcast partners are gonna be. And I 2382 01:51:45,439 --> 01:51:50,120 Speaker 1: would imagine, Murph, it was gonna be somebody, Um, not NBCCBS, 2383 01:51:50,280 --> 01:51:54,200 Speaker 1: ABC or even ESPN's probably somebody more like Yahoo. Well, 2384 01:51:54,360 --> 01:51:57,639 Speaker 1: you got a family man has television. The wrestling stuff 2385 01:51:57,640 --> 01:52:00,880 Speaker 1: he's done, they might go to an alternate network and say, listen, 2386 01:52:01,000 --> 01:52:02,880 Speaker 1: let's do it, and they might have a pretty good 2387 01:52:02,920 --> 01:52:04,760 Speaker 1: deal going on. It's gonna be interesting times because that's 2388 01:52:04,800 --> 01:52:08,439 Speaker 1: really that's really where the life's blood of a league is. Yeah, 2389 01:52:08,479 --> 01:52:10,840 Speaker 1: so we'll see. Hey, we're talking about Sunday's game, getting 2390 01:52:10,880 --> 01:52:12,840 Speaker 1: your thoughts on who might win. Who's gonna win? Joe 2391 01:52:12,880 --> 01:52:15,040 Speaker 1: and Tonawanda is on the line. Hello, Joe, go ahead, 2392 01:52:15,040 --> 01:52:17,360 Speaker 1: you're on the air with this. Oh guys, thanks for 2393 01:52:17,479 --> 01:52:21,400 Speaker 1: thanking my calls all years. I really appreciate it. John. 2394 01:52:21,479 --> 01:52:24,240 Speaker 1: I disagree with him. I think Patriots are gonna win, 2395 01:52:24,439 --> 01:52:27,599 Speaker 1: and it's gonna and Brady is gonna pick I'm Coleman 2396 01:52:27,760 --> 01:52:32,479 Speaker 1: all day long because of the storyline. Thank whoever he's 2397 01:52:32,560 --> 01:52:36,040 Speaker 1: covering is gonna be the MVP. Thank you very much. 2398 01:52:37,479 --> 01:52:40,040 Speaker 1: All right, thanks Joe. Well, you know it could be Edelman, right, 2399 01:52:40,200 --> 01:52:42,920 Speaker 1: I mean, and I don't know if I love that matchup. 2400 01:52:42,960 --> 01:52:46,360 Speaker 1: I love Nickel, great kid, but Edelman's a handful. And 2401 01:52:46,479 --> 01:52:49,160 Speaker 1: if it's Nickel, Roby Coleman on Edelman all day, that's 2402 01:52:49,360 --> 01:52:51,240 Speaker 1: that's I'll tell you what. Who's gonna need help? You'll 2403 01:52:51,320 --> 01:52:53,920 Speaker 1: drop him. You'll drop ten pounds just following him pre snap, 2404 01:52:54,040 --> 01:52:55,880 Speaker 1: you know, because he'll move him around and he'll shift 2405 01:52:55,960 --> 01:52:58,360 Speaker 1: out of the backfield, he'll shift sides to the formation 2406 01:52:58,560 --> 01:53:00,360 Speaker 1: before you get set. And then another time you'll come 2407 01:53:00,360 --> 01:53:02,720 Speaker 1: out and just take off. But you're right, I mean, 2408 01:53:03,760 --> 01:53:07,080 Speaker 1: you can bet that the Patriots will dictate what matchup 2409 01:53:07,160 --> 01:53:10,280 Speaker 1: they want, and if they think Robie Coleman's their best one, 2410 01:53:10,320 --> 01:53:12,400 Speaker 1: you can bet he's gonna get tested. You don't question 2411 01:53:12,400 --> 01:53:15,040 Speaker 1: about it. I don't often disagree with our guy Greg Cosell. 2412 01:53:15,120 --> 01:53:16,519 Speaker 1: He was on the show with the Slash yesterday. I 2413 01:53:16,600 --> 01:53:19,040 Speaker 1: love his analysis. No, he's done the breakdown. I brought 2414 01:53:19,120 --> 01:53:20,840 Speaker 1: up Edelman with him yesterday though, and I thought, he, 2415 01:53:20,880 --> 01:53:23,880 Speaker 1: do you remember this? He sort of discounted it, like, Wow, yeah, Edelman. 2416 01:53:23,920 --> 01:53:25,920 Speaker 1: You know he's a slot guy. He's always gonna be 2417 01:53:25,960 --> 01:53:27,920 Speaker 1: in the slide. I know that. I've seen him catch 2418 01:53:28,000 --> 01:53:30,000 Speaker 1: nine and ten and eleven passes out of the slot 2419 01:53:30,040 --> 01:53:33,280 Speaker 1: against the Bills. Now, he's not streaking downfield making huge plays, 2420 01:53:33,600 --> 01:53:36,200 Speaker 1: but he's moving chains, picking up first downs, and he's 2421 01:53:36,240 --> 01:53:39,759 Speaker 1: tough on the red zone. I wouldn't discount Julian Edelman 2422 01:53:39,800 --> 01:53:42,560 Speaker 1: as a factor and maybe a significant factor in this 2423 01:53:42,640 --> 01:53:45,280 Speaker 1: game on Sunday, I think, and especially with what Joe 2424 01:53:45,320 --> 01:53:48,559 Speaker 1: and Tonawanta points out, not the revenge factor, but Brady's 2425 01:53:48,840 --> 01:53:52,360 Speaker 1: comfort level with Julian Edelman is second to none. I 2426 01:53:52,439 --> 01:53:54,479 Speaker 1: think that's his most comfortable target in the passage. And 2427 01:53:54,560 --> 01:53:56,320 Speaker 1: it's not just the fact that he's comfort with him 2428 01:53:56,360 --> 01:53:58,920 Speaker 1: and they've they've had games where they've thrown at him 2429 01:53:58,960 --> 01:54:01,400 Speaker 1: fifteen times. That kind I'm exaggerained, but you know, I 2430 01:54:01,600 --> 01:54:03,680 Speaker 1: give him a lot of targets. But here's the thing 2431 01:54:03,680 --> 01:54:05,360 Speaker 1: about Edelman, I don't know if he may he may 2432 01:54:05,439 --> 01:54:08,479 Speaker 1: not catch, he may catch only two footballs all day 2433 01:54:09,120 --> 01:54:12,000 Speaker 1: on Super Bowl Sunday. But you know what, Murph, one 2434 01:54:12,040 --> 01:54:13,439 Speaker 1: of them is gonna be. One of them is gonna 2435 01:54:13,479 --> 01:54:14,920 Speaker 1: be the one that gets him the first down that 2436 01:54:14,960 --> 01:54:16,960 Speaker 1: puts him inside field goal range to win it. You 2437 01:54:17,040 --> 01:54:20,479 Speaker 1: know it's gonna be a critical down where Edelman is 2438 01:54:20,479 --> 01:54:22,400 Speaker 1: always going to be ready to contribute, even if he 2439 01:54:22,479 --> 01:54:25,479 Speaker 1: hasn't had an opportunity all day. When he does, he's 2440 01:54:25,520 --> 01:54:27,800 Speaker 1: gonna make the most of it. And Brady, as you said, 2441 01:54:28,680 --> 01:54:30,679 Speaker 1: in a critical moment, who do you think he's gonna 2442 01:54:30,680 --> 01:54:34,280 Speaker 1: trust more than Edelman? Nobody? So that's what I think. 2443 01:54:34,520 --> 01:54:37,120 Speaker 1: I think when it comes down to it, even no 2444 01:54:37,240 --> 01:54:39,800 Speaker 1: matter how the day has gone for Julian Edelman up 2445 01:54:39,800 --> 01:54:42,440 Speaker 1: to that point, when it gets time to where it 2446 01:54:42,680 --> 01:54:47,320 Speaker 1: is the game is on the line moment, that's who 2447 01:54:47,360 --> 01:54:50,240 Speaker 1: you look for, and that's Tom Brady looks for him 2448 01:54:50,280 --> 01:54:52,440 Speaker 1: and he finds him more often than not. So that's 2449 01:54:52,480 --> 01:54:54,520 Speaker 1: what I think is going to happen at a critical moment, 2450 01:54:54,920 --> 01:54:56,760 Speaker 1: is when Edelman's gonna show up. A couple of more 2451 01:54:56,880 --> 01:54:59,320 Speaker 1: from the tweet sheet on the Who's Gonna Win Sunday's 2452 01:54:59,360 --> 01:55:06,120 Speaker 1: Game got al tweets in who Cares there you go. Uh. 2453 01:55:06,360 --> 01:55:08,640 Speaker 1: Cheryl Hagen tweets in I will be rooting for the 2454 01:55:08,720 --> 01:55:11,440 Speaker 1: Rams as though I've been a lifelong fan. That's good too, 2455 01:55:11,720 --> 01:55:14,440 Speaker 1: that's a typical Buffalover's good. That's a good one, Sherylan. 2456 01:55:14,560 --> 01:55:17,480 Speaker 1: One more. Now we're being uh and that's this is fine, 2457 01:55:17,640 --> 01:55:20,920 Speaker 1: Michael board An Arrow holding us accountable. Steve who said 2458 01:55:21,000 --> 01:55:25,360 Speaker 1: what On nine seven, twenty eighteen, so before the season began, 2459 01:55:25,440 --> 01:55:29,440 Speaker 1: Stephen Murph made Super Bowl predictions? Who said what? Steve said, 2460 01:55:29,520 --> 01:55:34,520 Speaker 1: Steelers versus Eagles, Man, I just missed. I said Chargers 2461 01:55:34,640 --> 01:55:37,520 Speaker 1: versus Saints. I got a little closer than you. Slight 2462 01:55:37,680 --> 01:55:42,160 Speaker 1: Chargers Saints, Yeah both, you know, well mind Steelers didn't 2463 01:55:42,160 --> 01:55:44,120 Speaker 1: make the playoffs. Yeah, that's a good Michael. We don't 2464 01:55:44,120 --> 01:55:47,760 Speaker 1: mind being held accountable. That's good because accountable. Yeah the fire. 2465 01:55:47,920 --> 01:55:50,680 Speaker 1: That's right. And you are absolutely right and taught telling 2466 01:55:50,760 --> 01:55:53,320 Speaker 1: us that I missed at prediction four months ago. And 2467 01:55:53,440 --> 01:55:56,320 Speaker 1: here's a disagreement from Brad Sharping on that Twitter when 2468 01:55:56,360 --> 01:55:59,480 Speaker 1: I mentioned that that game was far from over. When 2469 01:55:59,560 --> 01:56:01,840 Speaker 1: the when the call was made or not made the 2470 01:56:01,960 --> 01:56:05,040 Speaker 1: Nickel Roby, go Nickell Roby call and call Brad Sharpings. 2471 01:56:05,080 --> 01:56:07,440 Speaker 1: It's far from over. If the refs don't make that 2472 01:56:07,560 --> 01:56:10,440 Speaker 1: agregious non call, can you make a non call? By 2473 01:56:10,480 --> 01:56:12,600 Speaker 1: the way, yeah, if can you make a non call, 2474 01:56:12,880 --> 01:56:15,080 Speaker 1: you can omit a non call. If the refs don't 2475 01:56:15,160 --> 01:56:18,120 Speaker 1: make that agregious non call, Saints run the clock down 2476 01:56:18,160 --> 01:56:19,720 Speaker 1: to near nothing. I get it. Get a chip shot 2477 01:56:19,720 --> 01:56:21,280 Speaker 1: field goal for the win. I know, give me a break. 2478 01:56:21,560 --> 01:56:23,560 Speaker 1: When will you care about the integrity of the game. 2479 01:56:26,120 --> 01:56:27,720 Speaker 1: You got to care about the entire I don't know 2480 01:56:27,760 --> 01:56:30,040 Speaker 1: where to start. Who is that from? That's from Bread sharping. 2481 01:56:30,640 --> 01:56:32,440 Speaker 1: It's better to call than tweak because we can we 2482 01:56:32,560 --> 01:56:35,640 Speaker 1: can discuss. I don't mind disagreement, but it's hard to 2483 01:56:36,360 --> 01:56:39,320 Speaker 1: pump the brakes if you don't have to pump a bread. 2484 01:56:39,360 --> 01:56:43,160 Speaker 1: Just called Dennis and Saint Catherine's Ontario on the line. Hello, Dennis, 2485 01:56:43,160 --> 01:56:45,360 Speaker 1: go ahead. You're on the air of this, all right, John, John, 2486 01:56:45,440 --> 01:56:47,560 Speaker 1: you did say a while ago the Rams would win. 2487 01:56:49,720 --> 01:56:52,800 Speaker 1: Oh I know, yeah, I do. I'm picking the Rams 2488 01:56:52,840 --> 01:56:56,120 Speaker 1: to win in a in a sizeable upset. I'm not 2489 01:56:56,200 --> 01:56:59,920 Speaker 1: disputing it now. The Baas are the favorites. I acknowl exam. 2490 01:57:01,040 --> 01:57:04,480 Speaker 1: I've got Patriots winning and you want the reason, right? 2491 01:57:06,240 --> 01:57:12,160 Speaker 1: I do would you really bet against Brady and Belichick? Well, 2492 01:57:12,200 --> 01:57:14,440 Speaker 1: I don't bet on these games, but in this game, 2493 01:57:14,520 --> 01:57:17,320 Speaker 1: I would if I bet, Yeah, we knowing in it's 2494 01:57:17,360 --> 01:57:19,400 Speaker 1: an upset pick, knowing that I'd probably get a pretty 2495 01:57:19,400 --> 01:57:21,840 Speaker 1: good price if I picked the upset victor. Yeah, I 2496 01:57:21,880 --> 01:57:23,800 Speaker 1: would this week if I bet on I don't bet 2497 01:57:23,880 --> 01:57:25,640 Speaker 1: on games. I don't think we can't bet on game 2498 01:57:25,720 --> 01:57:27,800 Speaker 1: and we're not allowed. I have no interest in betting 2499 01:57:27,840 --> 01:57:29,440 Speaker 1: on games. But yeah, I would bet on the Rams 2500 01:57:29,480 --> 01:57:32,360 Speaker 1: this week, absolutely, if you give me some points, would 2501 01:57:32,400 --> 01:57:36,680 Speaker 1: you say? And Dominic Sue could be a difference maker. 2502 01:57:38,640 --> 01:57:40,400 Speaker 1: He and Aaron Donald I think are the keys to 2503 01:57:40,520 --> 01:57:43,440 Speaker 1: a RAMS victory. What about Sue? You're not putting a 2504 01:57:43,520 --> 01:57:47,800 Speaker 1: lot on him. I put more. I put more faith 2505 01:57:47,880 --> 01:57:49,880 Speaker 1: in Aaron Donald. I think he's a better player. And 2506 01:57:50,000 --> 01:57:52,920 Speaker 1: Dominican Sue has been uh well, Steve's talking about him 2507 01:57:52,960 --> 01:57:56,200 Speaker 1: all week. You know, he's an enormously talented player who 2508 01:57:56,280 --> 01:57:59,000 Speaker 1: sort of shuffled through his career to date with the Lions, 2509 01:57:59,040 --> 01:58:02,560 Speaker 1: with Dolphins, and for the most part with the Rams 2510 01:58:02,640 --> 01:58:04,280 Speaker 1: until the last couple of weeks. I know he is 2511 01:58:04,400 --> 01:58:07,600 Speaker 1: enormously talented, But I think Aaron Donald is better and 2512 01:58:07,680 --> 01:58:09,600 Speaker 1: a better player and a more reliable player for them, 2513 01:58:09,640 --> 01:58:13,080 Speaker 1: which is important your thoughts, mister Tasker, I agree with 2514 01:58:13,160 --> 01:58:16,440 Speaker 1: you completely. I think Sue is going to be a 2515 01:58:16,520 --> 01:58:19,600 Speaker 1: factor in this game. I think he's gonna play above 2516 01:58:19,680 --> 01:58:22,120 Speaker 1: the level he's we've ever seen him play in games 2517 01:58:22,200 --> 01:58:28,400 Speaker 1: like this, and doing that beside Aaron Donald is the 2518 01:58:29,280 --> 01:58:32,280 Speaker 1: chance that the Rams have because that will help them. 2519 01:58:32,560 --> 01:58:34,640 Speaker 1: And in the stats I read just a few minutes ago, 2520 01:58:34,680 --> 01:58:37,800 Speaker 1: the Patriots are oh and four in games this season 2521 01:58:37,880 --> 01:58:41,840 Speaker 1: where they don't score twenty points. If if Aaron Donald 2522 01:58:41,880 --> 01:58:46,280 Speaker 1: and in Dominican Sue can contribute to the Rams holding 2523 01:58:46,320 --> 01:58:48,760 Speaker 1: them under twenty points, they'll go oh and five on 2524 01:58:48,800 --> 01:58:50,360 Speaker 1: the season, and the Rams will win the Super Bowl. 2525 01:58:51,120 --> 01:58:53,080 Speaker 1: All Right, I don't think that's going to happen. Yeah, 2526 01:58:53,640 --> 01:58:55,720 Speaker 1: we'll do it. Hey, we gotta break here, we're coming back. 2527 01:58:55,720 --> 01:58:58,120 Speaker 1: We got a familiar face you just stopped by.

But Wednesday, trying to fight my 2555 02:00:24,520 --> 02:00:26,520 Speaker 1: way down here, all the flights were canceled and you 2556 02:00:26,600 --> 02:00:29,400 Speaker 1: literally couldn't see five to ten feet in front of you. 2557 02:00:29,480 --> 02:00:31,000 Speaker 1: I mean the wind was whipping like. It's not like 2558 02:00:31,120 --> 02:00:33,600 Speaker 1: you could like drive to Cleveland or Toronto and get 2559 02:00:33,600 --> 02:00:36,200 Speaker 1: out either. Right. The crowds were all closed. Yeah, yeah, 2560 02:00:36,200 --> 02:00:39,240 Speaker 1: because I actually thought about shooting up to Rochester because 2561 02:00:39,240 --> 02:00:41,320 Speaker 1: I had some time, like maybe four or five hours. 2562 02:00:41,440 --> 02:00:43,160 Speaker 1: But then, you know, my wife was like, nah, I 2563 02:00:43,160 --> 02:00:44,840 Speaker 1: don't want to ask it or anything like that. So 2564 02:00:45,160 --> 02:00:50,440 Speaker 1: you end up standing yeah, right, yeah, chilling, chilling in 2565 02:00:50,480 --> 02:00:53,040 Speaker 1: the airport. You've been three and a half years in Buffalo. 2566 02:00:53,120 --> 02:00:55,280 Speaker 1: Is that the worst weather situation you've had?

Um. 2679 02:05:34,720 --> 02:05:36,240 Speaker 1: Obviously I played against him. I have a lot of 2680 02:05:36,280 --> 02:05:39,120 Speaker 1: respect for him. UM, and he pretty much reiterated what 2681 02:05:39,200 --> 02:05:41,720 Speaker 1: he told you guys is that he needs me to 2682 02:05:41,800 --> 02:05:44,480 Speaker 1: be uh to help him, you know, to be the 2683 02:05:44,600 --> 02:05:47,400 Speaker 1: leadership in the room. UM. Also spoke to Julian Stafford 2684 02:05:47,400 --> 02:05:50,040 Speaker 1: about the same thing, which I think he has more 2685 02:05:50,120 --> 02:05:52,040 Speaker 1: than enough ability to do that and be our leader 2686 02:05:52,080 --> 02:05:53,640 Speaker 1: on special teams because he's going to be a four 2687 02:05:53,760 --> 02:05:56,480 Speaker 1: core guy. So definitely looking forward to that. If I 2688 02:05:56,600 --> 02:05:59,160 Speaker 1: were coach Firewall, I would say to you and maybe 2689 02:05:59,160 --> 02:06:02,160 Speaker 1: Sean McDermott, hey, I need more of Lorenzo. Get them 2690 02:06:02,160 --> 02:06:04,000 Speaker 1: off some of those defenses and let me have more 2691 02:06:04,040 --> 02:06:06,840 Speaker 1: of them, because, let's face it, your your role on 2692 02:06:06,920 --> 02:06:09,360 Speaker 1: special teams kind of got paired down the more defense 2693 02:06:09,400 --> 02:06:11,800 Speaker 1: you play. Yeah, and I mean that's just the nature 2694 02:06:11,800 --> 02:06:13,720 Speaker 1: of the Beast. I mean it's at this point, and 2695 02:06:13,840 --> 02:06:16,480 Speaker 1: really at any point in your career, it is a 2696 02:06:16,600 --> 02:06:21,000 Speaker 1: significant toll on your body to play three or two 2697 02:06:21,080 --> 02:06:24,080 Speaker 1: to three special teams and then play a significant role 2698 02:06:24,360 --> 02:06:27,200 Speaker 1: or even like even a backup role on defense and 2699 02:06:27,320 --> 02:06:29,280 Speaker 1: play at a high level for sixteen weeks. It's not 2700 02:06:29,520 --> 02:06:31,600 Speaker 1: too many guys that can do it. I mean I've 2701 02:06:31,640 --> 02:06:34,200 Speaker 1: done it before. You know, James Harrison has done it before. 2702 02:06:34,760 --> 02:06:36,800 Speaker 1: But it ain't too many of those caliber of players 2703 02:06:36,880 --> 02:06:38,520 Speaker 1: what that could do. Both, it's hard times. It's hard 2704 02:06:38,520 --> 02:06:43,480 Speaker 1: to play at that level. Weeks twelve, thirteen, fifteen sixty. Yeah, 2705 02:06:43,800 --> 02:06:47,240 Speaker 1: it's it's really hard because you know, you start, what 2706 02:06:47,400 --> 02:06:49,680 Speaker 1: starts for the hangnail turns into your whole arm falling 2707 02:06:49,720 --> 02:06:51,720 Speaker 1: off exactly right, And that's what it's all about, And 2708 02:06:51,840 --> 02:06:53,920 Speaker 1: especially the older I get just being smarter with it 2709 02:06:54,920 --> 02:06:57,200 Speaker 1: and being smart about where I can be most impactful. 2710 02:06:57,280 --> 02:06:58,840 Speaker 1: And the obviously I do a lot of pump because 2711 02:06:58,880 --> 02:07:02,080 Speaker 1: that's probably the most prominent special team that's played with 2712 02:07:02,160 --> 02:07:05,080 Speaker 1: that within the game. And you're right, and where the 2713 02:07:05,200 --> 02:07:07,840 Speaker 1: most can go wrong, you know, on special teams, whether 2714 02:07:07,840 --> 02:07:10,160 Speaker 1: you have a block or a big return. Uh So, 2715 02:07:10,480 --> 02:07:13,040 Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure I'm may be utilized in that situation. 2716 02:07:13,480 --> 02:07:17,280 Speaker 1: But my thing is just uh reinforcing his message, says 2717 02:07:17,320 --> 02:07:19,840 Speaker 1: I came up in special teams. My foundation is there, 2718 02:07:20,720 --> 02:07:23,680 Speaker 1: just letting the guys know that if you're not playing, 2719 02:07:23,720 --> 02:07:25,960 Speaker 1: if you're not a starter, you need to be a 2720 02:07:26,000 --> 02:07:28,640 Speaker 1: starter on special teams. You gotta have that mentality. And 2721 02:07:28,760 --> 02:07:30,480 Speaker 1: if you are a starter, you may need to help 2722 02:07:30,520 --> 02:07:32,480 Speaker 1: out too. And uh so you have to have that 2723 02:07:32,600 --> 02:07:35,080 Speaker 1: mindset if you really want to be able to be 2724 02:07:35,160 --> 02:07:37,240 Speaker 1: a true team and really go where we want to go. 2725 02:07:37,280 --> 02:07:39,360 Speaker 1: All right, it's Friday. It's your lowdown day for us 2726 02:07:39,440 --> 02:07:41,640 Speaker 1: on the show. Every week, give us a lowdown on 2727 02:07:41,680 --> 02:07:43,520 Speaker 1: Sunday's game. This Sunday, you got any thoughts on how 2728 02:07:43,560 --> 02:07:45,600 Speaker 1: this game might go or what the keys might be. Man, 2729 02:07:45,720 --> 02:07:48,720 Speaker 1: this is a super Bowl week. I haven't got paid 2730 02:07:48,760 --> 02:07:58,840 Speaker 1: for the first six team lowdowns, so yeah, man, yeah 2731 02:07:59,360 --> 02:08:02,120 Speaker 1: something I enter a lunch, I thank you a gift card. 2732 02:08:02,280 --> 02:08:11,360 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't even get a gift card. It's 2733 02:08:11,360 --> 02:08:13,640 Speaker 1: pretty It's pretty simple though for me, if the Ram 2734 02:08:13,720 --> 02:08:16,920 Speaker 1: and I'll go from the Rams perspective because we pretty 2735 02:08:17,000 --> 02:08:19,080 Speaker 1: much know what the Patriots are all about. I mean, 2736 02:08:19,120 --> 02:08:21,240 Speaker 1: if the if the Rams really want to win this game, 2737 02:08:22,360 --> 02:08:24,120 Speaker 1: I truly believe Jared Goff has to play at a 2738 02:08:24,200 --> 02:08:26,120 Speaker 1: high level. We can't turn the ball over, so you 2739 02:08:26,160 --> 02:08:28,680 Speaker 1: can't beat yourself and allow the Patriot to do what 2740 02:08:28,760 --> 02:08:31,480 Speaker 1: they normally do and capitalize on other people's mistakes as 2741 02:08:31,520 --> 02:08:35,000 Speaker 1: we've seen in the Chiefs game somebody lining up off sides. Um, 2742 02:08:35,640 --> 02:08:37,880 Speaker 1: you have to stop the run, which has to be 2743 02:08:37,960 --> 02:08:40,800 Speaker 1: a significant thing, because Sony Michelle and the offensive line 2744 02:08:41,320 --> 02:08:44,040 Speaker 1: really ever since they've played Us, have turned into uh 2745 02:08:44,520 --> 02:08:47,640 Speaker 1: In a running machine forty plus times a game, averaging 2746 02:08:47,720 --> 02:08:50,640 Speaker 1: probably over what one fifties it's close to two hundred 2747 02:08:50,640 --> 02:08:53,400 Speaker 1: as a team collectively. And when you give Tom Brady 2748 02:08:53,720 --> 02:08:57,840 Speaker 1: that type of versatility on third down, he's almost impossible 2749 02:08:57,880 --> 02:09:00,240 Speaker 1: because is he gonna check it to Sony and rush 2750 02:09:00,280 --> 02:09:02,720 Speaker 1: something him tall squeezed that he did last week, or 2751 02:09:02,840 --> 02:09:04,720 Speaker 1: is he gonna drop back in pass. I mean, they 2752 02:09:04,800 --> 02:09:07,080 Speaker 1: just have too many options when it's third and manageable. 2753 02:09:07,560 --> 02:09:11,600 Speaker 1: And lastly, I really feel like and Dominicans who and 2754 02:09:11,760 --> 02:09:14,720 Speaker 1: Aaron Donald have to have a monster game inside if 2755 02:09:14,760 --> 02:09:17,240 Speaker 1: those two guys are dominant all day and they don't 2756 02:09:17,240 --> 02:09:19,920 Speaker 1: have to necessarily sack Brady, but make him uncomfortable, get 2757 02:09:20,080 --> 02:09:21,880 Speaker 1: him off his spot, make him feel like he can't 2758 02:09:21,920 --> 02:09:23,960 Speaker 1: throw the ball on the run where he can't be accurate, 2759 02:09:24,240 --> 02:09:27,840 Speaker 1: and hitting guys in stride and on time. Um, that's 2760 02:09:27,880 --> 02:09:30,200 Speaker 1: gonna maximize their ability to win this game. That's Mike 2761 02:09:30,280 --> 02:09:32,960 Speaker 1: Key I told you those two, those two provide the 2762 02:09:33,240 --> 02:09:35,960 Speaker 1: I'm not saying that I know the Rams are und here, 2763 02:09:36,000 --> 02:09:37,720 Speaker 1: but those two provide the key to the game. I think, 2764 02:09:38,200 --> 02:09:42,440 Speaker 1: Murphy Ice you probably agreed with it. Yeah, I'm with you, 2765 02:09:43,480 --> 02:09:46,560 Speaker 1: don And yet you picked the Patriots. Yes I did. 2766 02:09:46,840 --> 02:09:48,360 Speaker 1: I picked the Patriots too, even though I want the 2767 02:09:48,440 --> 02:09:51,640 Speaker 1: RAM to win. I mean, it's it's one thing for 2768 02:09:51,760 --> 02:09:55,120 Speaker 1: what you want or what you know on the same 2769 02:09:58,520 --> 02:10:01,040 Speaker 1: but we feel and no base on our football knowledge 2770 02:10:01,040 --> 02:10:03,080 Speaker 1: that we're gonna go with the Patriots. I'm not, hey, 2771 02:10:03,240 --> 02:10:05,720 Speaker 1: I'm really that's something totally different that you're dealing with. There, 2772 02:10:05,760 --> 02:10:10,200 Speaker 1: you let that go. Yeah. Here, My fervent hope for 2773 02:10:10,240 --> 02:10:12,040 Speaker 1: the weekend is that you win that Walter Payton Man 2774 02:10:12,080 --> 02:10:14,280 Speaker 1: of the Year a word. So I appreciate that. No, thanks, 2775 02:10:14,360 --> 02:10:17,200 Speaker 1: thank god, thanks man. It's been a great coming.

It seems like it was hours ago. 2786 02:10:54,840 --> 02:10:57,440 Speaker 1: A couple of hours ago. Isaac Bruce talked about winning 2787 02:10:57,480 --> 02:11:01,000 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl here in Atlanta back in the January 2788 02:11:01,080 --> 02:11:04,720 Speaker 1: of the year two thousand years What he said, yeah, 2789 02:11:04,840 --> 02:11:07,960 Speaker 1: nineteen years ago as a great moment.

Also on the show, Judi Batiste, NFL 2796 02:11:26,360 --> 02:11:28,840 Speaker 1: Network for Border joined us. She talked about the New 2797 02:11:28,840 --> 02:11:32,000 Speaker 1: England Patriots now compared to the Patriots Super Bowl winners 2798 02:11:32,040 --> 02:11:34,000 Speaker 1: of a decade and a half ago. Here's what you 2799 02:11:34,080 --> 02:11:38,680 Speaker 1: had to say. I'm struck by how much this team 2800 02:11:38,760 --> 02:11:43,160 Speaker 1: reminds me of the early incarnation of Patriots teams when 2801 02:11:43,240 --> 02:11:45,800 Speaker 1: at the start of the dynasty, which was, you know, 2802 02:11:45,960 --> 02:11:47,960 Speaker 1: not what we have come to think of as the Patriots, 2803 02:11:48,040 --> 02:11:50,000 Speaker 1: like that exclusive offense that we got used to when 2804 02:11:50,080 --> 02:11:52,920 Speaker 1: Randy Moss was there. This is a lot of running. 2805 02:11:53,240 --> 02:11:58,240 Speaker 1: They sort of grind the clockdown, short passes, defense, special teams. 2806 02:11:59,120 --> 02:12:04,560 Speaker 1: This reminds me of the early championship teams. We thank 2807 02:12:04,640 --> 02:12:06,760 Speaker 1: Judy Vatisa vir Juinians today and all of our guests. 2808 02:12:06,760 --> 02:12:09,240 Speaker 1: Our Twitter poll today, we have pretty good response to 2809 02:12:09,280 --> 02:12:11,760 Speaker 1: this who's gonna win, pretty simple question, and it was 2810 02:12:11,880 --> 02:12:15,000 Speaker 1: fairly lopsided in favor of the Rams. As far as 2811 02:12:15,040 --> 02:12:17,480 Speaker 1: who's going to win. Sixty two percent of our respondents 2812 02:12:17,800 --> 02:12:19,840 Speaker 1: think the Rams are gonna win. Thirty eight percent say 2813 02:12:19,920 --> 02:12:23,000 Speaker 1: the Patriots. I'm picking the Rams, and it's not just 2814 02:12:23,160 --> 02:12:26,400 Speaker 1: my heart. I told you Donald Sue dominating the middle. 2815 02:12:26,880 --> 02:12:29,800 Speaker 1: Patriots can't run like they're used to, and anything can happen, 2816 02:12:29,840 --> 02:12:32,040 Speaker 1: and I think in this case it'll be Rams upset victory. 2817 02:12:32,400 --> 02:12:33,920 Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be the Patriots. I think it's 2818 02:12:33,920 --> 02:12:36,880 Speaker 1: gonna be a one score game. But I still think 2819 02:12:37,320 --> 02:12:39,920 Speaker 1: this Super Bowl is gonna go a lot like we've 2820 02:12:39,960 --> 02:12:42,080 Speaker 1: seen other Patriots games go. I don't think there's any question. 2821 02:12:42,080 --> 02:12:43,600 Speaker 1: Its gonna be close at the end, and either team 2822 02:12:43,680 --> 02:12:46,520 Speaker 1: could win. But I'm gonna pick the Patriots because their 2823 02:12:46,560 --> 02:12:49,480 Speaker 1: experience in moments like this. All Right, we'll find out. 2824 02:12:49,640 --> 02:12:51,960 Speaker 1: Our next show is going to be a week from Monday, 2825 02:12:52,000 --> 02:12:54,240 Speaker 1: February eleventh.
