00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 1: saying we are attached as a foursome from now until

15
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:51,279
Speaker 1: the end of time. That's There's been better developments than that.

16
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 1: But listen, here we are. Who can complain? I mean,

00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 1: what are what a life? We're so lucky to be.

18
00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 1: We work for the NFL. They send us to the

19
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 1: Super Bowl in Miami, staying at a nice hotel. We

20
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:08,400
Speaker 1: got a yacht pod. The yacht pod is that with

21
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:13,759
Speaker 1: the hashtag guess I got there, um, and if you were,

22
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,399
Speaker 1: and if you were tracking, of course, first I'll check

23
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:19,120
Speaker 1: out tuesday show if you haven't yet, but if you have,

24
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 1: I'm sure if you track is on social media, you're

25
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:26,040
Speaker 1: aware of one of the a couple of big developments

26
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 1: after we finished, Right after we finished recording Tuesday's show,

27
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:31,759
Speaker 1: We're on the boat. We're getting a chance to enjoy

28
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:35,040
Speaker 1: the sun and the surf and the breeze and the

29
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 1: wonderful Miami vibes, and all of a sudden we get

30
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 1: lit up. We get lit up by the blue and

31
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 1: the white lights of the Miami Police who board our vessel,

32
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 1: and a extremely handsome man, a man that Erica actually

33
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 1: saw as a younger brother of Jimmy Garoppolo, but what

34
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 1: he really was was a FBI agent boarded the vessel

35
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 1: app and we were at that point Greg pretty i

36
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 1: would say, alarmed, but we didn't know what was going on.

37
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 1: It was not our boat, of course, so we weren't

38
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 1: ultimately too concerned. We were all like splayed out, just

39
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 1: kind of enjoying our post uh you know, post pod

40
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 1: who is back today, but more confused would be what

41
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 1: is what is happening here? And then we turned out

42
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 1: to be kind of, you know, much about nothing nothing.

43
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 1: But this was fifteen minutes after we had learned while

44
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 1: doing the show in real time that there was a

45
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 1: tsunami warning bubbling up on the waters. We were actually

46
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 1: on that's a great call because that was But now

47
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: that you mentioned that's the first thing came to mind.

48
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 1: What were Miami police jumping onto this boat to tell

49
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 1: Captain Spiro's we gotta get this thing back to doc

50
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 1: tsunami's coming. I thought that's a weird dealing with did

51
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:45,679
Speaker 1: you were you alarmed in the same way West, I

52
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,359
Speaker 1: was alarmed that nobody had answers. Everybody just paid questions,

53
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,639
Speaker 1: and our way of finding answers was just Ricky's checking Twitter.

54
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 1: And there was a lot of good at There's been

55
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 1: a heavy police presence at all the Super Bowls lately.

56
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 1: That's certainly true in Miami. At one on our yacht cast,

57
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 1: we saw the coast Guard go by with some pretty

58
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 1: heavy duty semi automatic, serious serious armory, very seriously what

59
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 1: your uncle's Vietnam flashback would be. The only concerned was like,

60
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 1: what did Mark do you know? That was like the

61
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 1: only finally somebody says it potential chance to be fair. Greg.

62
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:24,959
Speaker 1: This is minutes also after you received a call that

63
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,800
Speaker 1: someone named Gregg Rosensal had ordered a car to go

64
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 1: let's get let's get it for a minute while the

65
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 1: FBI is on board, uh and going through and it

66
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 1: was all connected to a drone that was launched. That

67
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 1: it is a big no no, especially just turned it

68
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 1: on and the GPS had been sent out and I

69
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 1: guess that that was a no no. And that was it.

70
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 1: So we are still we're still splayed out, as Greg

71
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 1: put it. When the phone rings on, Greg, Greg Sally

72
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 1: answers it and it's a very um I would say, animated,

73
00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 1: amped up shadowy leak figure. Yeah, one of the key

74
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 1: shadowy like figures in our history. UM barking at me

75
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 1: frankly in a in a very suspicious, uh, I'm gonna say,

76
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: disrespectful way, and just said like, it's like, Greig, it's like,

77
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 1: did you order a driver to go to a pool

78
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:26,159
Speaker 1: party in Miami? I was like, no, what are you talking.

79
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,480
Speaker 1: I'm we're we're out here, We're And I thought maybe

80
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 1: he meant because we did get a transportation to the

81
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 1: oar to the boat, you know, which was approved when

82
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 1: we had a boss is on the on the trip

83
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:37,679
Speaker 1: with us. I said, no, no, what are you talking about?

84
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 1: And and then there's a couple more follow up questions

85
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:43,839
Speaker 1: where clearly this person doesn't quite believe me yet, which

86
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 1: is nature very very like edge and just saying, well,

87
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:55,039
Speaker 1: someone using your name, uh used transportation to go to

88
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:58,279
Speaker 1: a pool party, and it's ruined transportation for the NFL

89
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:00,600
Speaker 1: media for the entire day. I was like, what did

90
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,920
Speaker 1: that even mean? It's takeaways. One, you had a rock

91
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 1: solid alibi, you were being rated by the FBI. But secondly,

92
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 1: this shadowy league figure when he is driving around listening

93
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:15,160
Speaker 1: to the show as he will will have you killed? Hope,

94
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:17,159
Speaker 1: he doesn't listen and in the end, look he did.

95
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 1: He did say well, you know, he did say, oh

96
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 1: I didn't think that sounded like you. That's what I said.

97
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 1: So he had clearly gotten this word, I assumed from

98
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 1: from higher ups. And um. He later texted me saying

99
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 1: it was maybe it's a compliment. It's like I've reached

100
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 1: another level of celebrity where people are using my name

101
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:38,480
Speaker 1: for imposters. That's one way to look at it, I think. Um,

102
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 1: And of course when something like this happens the a

103
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 1: t N Media insider, I need to start pick up

104
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 1: the phone. A lot of getting getting on you know, text,

105
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 1: d M s. And I actually was able to reach

106
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 1: out to that same shadowy league figure. Um, I was

107
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:06,599
Speaker 1: trying to get him to come on the show, No dice.

108
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 1: But what I really wanted I think impression, you know,

109
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 1: that was like him having him here. What I really

110
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 1: wanted to know was internally during this investigation, has Greg

111
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 1: been cleared and as of this recording of the show,

112
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 1: I have not heard back. So now we're going to

113
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:28,039
Speaker 1: call it a no comment or the investigation rages on.

114
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,480
Speaker 1: I tried to find more about it and and suddenly

115
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,719
Speaker 1: somebody's got and I want to know. Yeah, I want

116
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 1: to know what he told me. Um This SLF that

117
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 1: the person specifically called said, I'm Greg Rosenthal, take me

118
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:48,720
Speaker 1: to this pool party, got dropped off, and then all

119
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 1: of a sudden that they were. But this is why

120
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 1: I think it's an inside job. It's someone that we know,

121
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:59,160
Speaker 1: because I think there's something if you know Greg, really

122
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 1: any of us would have been funny, but if you

123
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 1: know Greg, there's something funny about Greg Rosenthal demanding a

124
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 1: driver take him to a Super Bowl pool party. Somebody

125
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 1: that knows you that that when this would get back,

126
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 1: potentially it would be something. How do you say that?

127
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 1: All right, I've got a couple. Let's let's throw some

128
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 1: names out. Are Ian Rapp reports up there he mentioned.

129
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 1: I think that makes some sense. He had some reason

130
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 1: to be annoyed at me just twenty four hours previous.

131
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 1: I'll just leave it at that. He was annoyed at me.

132
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 1: He made that the constant rotation of people being annoyed

133
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 1: at him, and it was I sum and he would

134
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 1: he would do something I feel like he would do. Oh,

135
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 1: he would definitely do. He would double across you on

136
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 1: a big spot strake bomb. Maybe I know he would

137
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 1: maybe find the humor in it, but I don't care

138
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 1: why why he would do it. Gara follow is a

139
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 1: pretty funny guy. We know what's a man at least,

140
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 1: Oh my god, it's a wholesome prank that he would pull.

141
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 1: It's Daniel Jerem but he's not even here. I know.

142
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 1: But that's what would make it even Andrew Hawkins would

143
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 1: not do anyway. So we're we are obviously we're gonna

144
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 1: try to get to the bottom of this. This is

145
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 1: a developing story that will be tracking obviously throughout the offseason,

146
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 1: and as an insider, this is one of those stories

147
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 1: where you do not rest till you get to the

148
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 1: bottom of it narrative and pretty much minutes afterwards, even

149
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 1: though I was with these guys the whole time, Dan

150
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 1: was the first one to say, well, have we crossed

151
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:34,560
Speaker 1: Greg totally off the list? Are well? My final question was,

152
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 1: how is the pool party? Right? All right? This is

153
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 1: our Super Bowl fifty four preview show, proper, Okay, this

154
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 1: is the one We're really gonna dig into the action

155
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 1: and uh um. Also, we have the great Chris mad

156
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 1: Dog Russo Russo of formerly of w f ANN in

157
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 1: New York. Uh Mark, and I grew up listening to

158
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 1: Mike and the mad Dog. He is going to join us.

159
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 1: We're really looking forward to that. Mark. You do you

160
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 1: think you could keep it together during the Russo conversation? Okay,

161
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 1: I like, I just don't applaud your honesty. We will

162
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 1: do one go get uh my lunch prop wager connected

163
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 1: to Super Bowl fifty four and um, and then we

164
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 1: will make our game picks. It's time to make the picks. Well,

165
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,679
Speaker 1: so you're right, I know you love game picks. I'm Maddie.

166
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 1: I even have a score written down, which I never do,

167
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 1: usually come up to score on the spot. But you're

168
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 1: sick of the people. The people love them, all right,

169
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 1: Let's get into it without further ado. I forget about

170
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 1: hashtag yachtcast, hashtag pool boy. Let us get to the game,

171
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:48,679
Speaker 1: because that's why we're here. The Kansas City Chiefs the

172
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 1: San Francisco forty Niners, two teams that we're deeply impressive

173
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:57,440
Speaker 1: during their January playoff runs. Um, perhaps one team was

174
00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:04,080
Speaker 1: more impressive and Greg the Niners they just essentially whipped.

175
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 1: They're both their opponents. It was it was an easy

176
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:08,960
Speaker 1: path for them, and they were a team that would

177
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:12,079
Speaker 1: kind of battle tested throughout December, and a lot of

178
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,960
Speaker 1: people said, maybe that's gonna help them come January, and

179
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 1: maybe it dead. Who knows, but the Niners look great.

180
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 1: The Chiefs have the best player and Patrick Mahomes, and

181
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 1: their offense was close to unstoppable. This is gonna be

182
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 1: a fun one. I love it because to me, there

183
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 1: it's a game where I'm happy either team wins because

184
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 1: they're both worthy champions, They're both have great stories behind them.

185
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 1: I'll feel for either team, but like some years like yeah,

186
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:39,080
Speaker 1: that team shouldn't have what, like both of these teams

187
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 1: deserve it, and of the Giants twice, Yeah, you know

188
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:46,960
Speaker 1: you can't like or you can't like wrap your arms

189
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:48,960
Speaker 1: around them. Maybe. And to me, I love both of

190
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 1: these teams. They're they're super entertaining styles of play. And

191
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 1: you mentioned the forty Niners run. I almost think we

192
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 1: take it for granted, how like bad bad stuff in

193
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 1: saying that's gonna have to be this is gonna be

194
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 1: after Like when we look back on what they did

195
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 1: the last two weeks. The first game, they allowed seven

196
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:13,960
Speaker 1: first downs. They made Kirk Cousins and the Vikings the

197
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 1: worst offense in the NFL. It was as dominating a

198
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:19,559
Speaker 1: defensive performance as anything we've seen all year. The next game,

199
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 1: they ran it like it was, you know, nineteen thirties

200
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 1: Navy the most dominating. They were up twenty seven nothing

201
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:30,239
Speaker 1: in the halftime of an NFC championship. That is absolutely outrageous.

202
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 1: So when you put those two things together and just

203
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 1: the talent that they have on that side of the ball,

204
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 1: I'm not saying people are sleeping on the forty Niners,

205
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 1: but it has been an incredibly impressive eighteen game run

206
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:44,200
Speaker 1: with an as impressive a two game playoff run as

207
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:47,719
Speaker 1: we've seen. With you, I feel that they are underappreciated,

208
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 1: and I think they just haven't been in our midst

209
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:56,680
Speaker 1: for very long are because I destroyed that narratives so

210
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 1: it's not disrespected, just a little bit under the radar

211
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:04,080
Speaker 1: for how consistent they have been in every single contest

212
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:05,560
Speaker 1: this year. And the thing that comes to my mind

213
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 1: about this game, and I'm with you, Greg, that whoever wins,

214
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 1: I could feel um thrilled for either team. That's not

215
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:15,560
Speaker 1: usually how I feel about Super Bowl. Man, here, those

216
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 1: are the guys that would really get me going. But

217
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:19,959
Speaker 1: I just the thing that comes to mind for me

218
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 1: is the sort of a coronation of Kyle Shanahan that

219
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 1: I just feel that he also into in my mind,

220
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 1: is like a top two or three coach in the

221
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 1: league and the future of football. And Andy Reid you

222
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,440
Speaker 1: could say all the same things about, but I just

223
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:35,320
Speaker 1: think that Kyle Shanahan, you know, steps out of any

224
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:37,839
Speaker 1: sort of shadow that he lived in under his father

225
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 1: and family lineage to become completely his own. Many Sunday night,

226
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 1: isn't this kind of Uh, this was the Sean McVeigh

227
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:48,680
Speaker 1: storyline a year ago, two years ago, and now that's

228
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 1: how people are talking about Kyle Shanahan. I mean, he's

229
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 1: he's one game away from having it feels like one

230
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 1: of the best, you know, doing one of the best

231
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 1: coaching jobs we can remember. Yeah. I feel like for

232
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 1: the past half decade or so, people have gone back

233
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 1: and forth between Kyle Shanahan, Sean McVeigh, Josh McDaniels, and

234
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 1: who's the best, like under forty year old play caller

235
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 1: in the NFL, Who's who's the real scheme master? And

236
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:15,320
Speaker 1: Kyle was probably overlooked what he did with that two

237
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 1: thousand um was it the seventeen the Falcons team that

238
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 1: made the Super Bowl? What he did in Houston, what

239
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 1: he did in Washington with r G three. I mean,

240
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 1: this guy, his career has been amazing. And I looked

241
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:28,719
Speaker 1: back to the beginning of the year when Mark and

242
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 1: I got really rapped up about the forty Niners pushing

243
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 1: the Bengals around, and it feels weird to say we

244
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 1: were impressed by a team beating the Bengals. But most

245
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 1: of the most most of the impressive games I've seen

246
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:40,440
Speaker 1: where a team played at the highest level this year

247
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:43,559
Speaker 1: have been to San Francisco. Forty Niners just decimating teams.

248
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 1: They also had that Redskins game, which is one of

249
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 1: the quickest we've seen in you know, fourteen fifteen years.

250
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:53,080
Speaker 1: I appreciate that special And to your point, uh, Greg,

251
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 1: when you're trying to pick this game, and like we said,

252
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:57,679
Speaker 1: we're picking at the end of the show, I'd really

253
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 1: do want to go with Mahomes. But what it would

254
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:04,960
Speaker 1: it should? It be shocking if the Niners just finished

255
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:08,320
Speaker 1: this thing off and we're looking at a potential game

256
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 1: that gets away from the Chiefs because the Niners are

257
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:12,200
Speaker 1: just humming on both sides of the ball. This is

258
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 1: one thing no one's picking is a one sided game.

259
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:16,719
Speaker 1: But is that possible with the Niners that good? Are

260
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 1: they under the radar enough where they could blow out

261
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 1: a great Chiefs team and and be seen as one

262
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 1: of the best teams in the last ten Because it's

263
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl and sometimes I think weird things happen.

264
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:28,440
Speaker 1: It's just a different game. It's like a final or

265
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 1: a championship of almost any sport. I feel like that's possible,

266
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 1: but it's so hard to imagine like keeping Mahomes under

267
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 1: wraps for that long. Even this defense, which is great,

268
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 1: it's still two thousand and twenty, Like they gave up

269
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 1: three straight touchdowns to the Seahawks. They gave up some

270
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 1: points in the second half of the packards, Like, it's

271
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 1: hard to imagine Mahomes not finding some mismatches. Like that's

272
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 1: one thing I'm curious about with with Mahomes and Red.

273
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 1: They zero in on what your weakness is at some

274
00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 1: point and whether that sorry, Terry Bradshaw's cat cling over

275
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 1: your right shoulder right now. I've also been distracted by

276
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 1: the site we've had since we started the show when

277
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 1: we were talking about pool boy Gate and also yodcast. Uh,

278
00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 1: Kurt Warner just kind of rolled right in front of us. Yeah,

279
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 1: now Terry Bradshaw just rolling Chris Long right over there. Oh,

280
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 1: Zolac is about fifty Harris not a small man is

281
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 1: walking behind us wearing sunglasses inside a convention, so he

282
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 1: has every time we've been here the entire week, he

283
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 1: has not taking the sunglasses off. That is that is

284
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 1: that is the Zoe move. And then of course Colleen

285
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 1: Wolf is just away and that's where you really pinch

286
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 1: yourself gone. I I wonder, like where do they see

287
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 1: the weaknesses. It's probably, you know, in the secondary getting

288
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 1: certain matchups um with speed, whether it's mcole Hardman or

289
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill on Sherman or one. You know, sometimes Jimmy

290
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 1: Ward or are a little aggressive. But especially when the

291
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 1: forty nine is trying to put if they try to

292
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 1: put three linebackers on the field, I like think that's

293
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 1: the moment where you attack. And as good as Green

294
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 1: Lawn Warner have been, I'm fascinated by Kwan. Alexander did

295
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 1: not look like himself last game. I mean he made

296
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 1: Jimmy Graham look like two thousand eight nine Jimmy Graham.

297
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 1: The Packers went out of their way to attack him,

298
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 1: and eventually they kind of bench squawn Alexander took him

299
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 1: out of the gave. If they try to play kind

300
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 1: of that three linebacker look, which they might not do

301
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:21,960
Speaker 1: that much against the Chiefs, like that's a moment where

302
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 1: you can see Kelsey or someone making big plays over

303
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 1: the middle. I feel like we've seen multiple games this

304
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 1: year where the forty niners have dominated for the entire

305
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 1: first half and then get caught taken their foot off

306
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 1: the gas pedal a little bit in the second half,

307
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:36,880
Speaker 1: and they can't afford to do that against a guy

308
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 1: who's been coming back from twenty four to nothing. And

309
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 1: they can't do that because of the three type jokes

310
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 1: that we would be like surviving on Twitter at the time.

311
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 1: If the forty Niners get a big lead and start

312
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 1: start blowing it, it would be it would be sad.

313
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 1: I don't I'd be surprised by a game where the

314
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 1: Niners are jumping out to a twenty nothing type lead

315
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 1: against the Chiefs. This is a completely different situation than

316
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 1: Green Bay or the Keens who went to the West

317
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:04,640
Speaker 1: Coast and totally fell into a coma, you know, ahead

318
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 1: of that nine. Because it's been the Chiefs defense that

319
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 1: started every game. So it really hasn't been the Chiefs offense.

320
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 1: They've you know, against the Texans, they had you know,

321
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 1: a driver too. Against you know, last week, they pretty

322
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:16,440
Speaker 1: much started great. They had one bad drive and then

323
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 1: they they were caught on fire. And that's the thing

324
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 1: with Mahomes Like Mahomes is, I know, you're sick of

325
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 1: the comparison. West are just like talking, But the fact

326
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 1: that he combines this extra terrestrial big playability and skill

327
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:35,119
Speaker 1: set with the fact that he's the most careful quarterback

328
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 1: out there, Like I added up, like how hard it

329
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 1: is to make negative plays on him. He has five interceptions, um,

330
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 1: I think three fumbles this year, and he's taken seventeen sacks. Jimmy,

331
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:49,720
Speaker 1: that's a total of five. Jimmy Garoppolo, in comparison, they've

332
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 1: had very similar dropback numbers because Mahomes missed those two games,

333
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:56,960
Speaker 1: has thirteen interceptions, ten fumbles, thirty six sacks, So that's

334
00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 1: fifty nine negative place He's taken more than double the amount.

335
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 1: He's taking more negative plates in the playoffs, only throwing

336
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 1: the ball twenty times than Mahomes does. Mahomes has this

337
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:10,440
Speaker 1: crazy like Tom Brady likability to move in the pocket

338
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:12,359
Speaker 1: where you think you're gonna get him for a negative

339
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 1: play and at worst it's like a throwaway or he

340
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:17,120
Speaker 1: runs for a couple of yards or whatever. And then

341
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 1: he combines that with the big place and that's like,

342
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:21,399
Speaker 1: it's just such a heart How do you stop that?

343
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 1: He combines the ability to make plays and avoid mistakes

344
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 1: to such an extent that running the ball is wasteful, right.

345
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:31,920
Speaker 1: I do wonder if like Andy Reid would give up.

346
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 1: We'll just like give up running the ball. Like however,

347
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 1: the first five carries for the Chiefs go well, and

348
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 1: this was the case when the Eagles played the Patriots.

349
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:43,119
Speaker 1: Feels like it will decide whether they run the because

350
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 1: you kind of should run the ball against the forty Niners.

351
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:48,840
Speaker 1: They that's where they've been vulnerable. And Damian Williams, to me,

352
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 1: is good enough to run the ball. It feels like

353
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:53,199
Speaker 1: you want to see We've seen Damian Williams do it.

354
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:55,920
Speaker 1: They didn't have a a great ground attack this year,

355
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:58,640
Speaker 1: but they were moments that Williams a d R touchdown

356
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 1: run late in the season comes to mind. Um And

357
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 1: I think when you look at what the Niners doing offense,

358
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:08,200
Speaker 1: and I would be if I'm Steves Magnola, if I'm

359
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 1: Andy Reid, I'm trying to game plan this team and

360
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 1: you just don't know how Shanahan's gonna come at you,

361
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 1: because it's almost like you set them up perfectly now

362
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 1: because you can't. You can't assume, oh, they're gonna just

363
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:22,600
Speaker 1: run it down our throats. That would be too easy

364
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 1: to just assume we'll do that, just because they did

365
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 1: the last two weeks. Uh, they could go the other direction,

366
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:29,119
Speaker 1: and Shanahan is such a gifted play caller, and the

367
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 1: way they've set up and what they've been able to

368
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:35,680
Speaker 1: do with Deebo Samuel, with Emmanuel Sanders, with Kittle, Uh,

369
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 1: the way they attack you, which is, you know, the

370
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 1: Chiefs are a team, they get to the gets to

371
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:45,480
Speaker 1: the quarterback. But what we're seeing with Jimmy Garoppolo is

372
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:47,680
Speaker 1: how quickly they designed place to get the ball out

373
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 1: of his hand with hands, which negates the past rush

374
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 1: and that puts pressure on a Chiefs defense to make

375
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:56,720
Speaker 1: plays in space. Do they have the ability if the

376
00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 1: Niners are running their game plan the way they want

377
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:01,879
Speaker 1: to run it, to stop the Niners passing game, like,

378
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 1: I have real questions about that. That's where I get

379
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:06,919
Speaker 1: worried about this game spinning out of control is if

380
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 1: that Niners defense is doing what they do and then

381
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:13,360
Speaker 1: the passing game with Jimmy g heats up, which obviously

382
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 1: can happen. The Chiefs are not all time great defense

383
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:18,399
Speaker 1: is not even close to it. I'd also say you,

384
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:20,880
Speaker 1: if you're trying a game plan for what the Niners

385
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:24,400
Speaker 1: have done recently, the passing game is mysterious because it's

386
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 1: been about a month since they've really had to unleash

387
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:29,200
Speaker 1: anything through the air. With the two games they put

388
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:32,160
Speaker 1: together in the playoffs after their bye week were intensely

389
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 1: ground oriented, and it leaves you wondering what tricks Shanahan

390
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:36,680
Speaker 1: might have when you look at Yeah, you just look

391
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:41,440
Speaker 1: at the personnel. Shanahan looks at those Chiefs linebackers. I mean,

392
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:43,560
Speaker 1: not many people I feel like covering, you know, like

393
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:47,639
Speaker 1: watching them know their line. It's like Damien Wilson and

394
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 1: uh hit Reddie Ragland, like Daniel Sorenston, who's a safety

395
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:59,879
Speaker 1: who can get aggressive, and and that's those are the

396
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:03,200
Speaker 1: players that, like a Shanahan offense attacks is like the

397
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:06,919
Speaker 1: middle of your defense, and that is the weakness of

398
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:12,200
Speaker 1: the Chief's defense especially don't do it. I mean, there's

399
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 1: a lot of reasons to believe the Chiefs do have

400
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:18,240
Speaker 1: like three great defensive players like Chris They need Chris

401
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 1: Jones to just go wild, which is possible. Frank Clark.

402
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:24,200
Speaker 1: They were right about Frank Clark. They they essentially traded

403
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:26,440
Speaker 1: d Ford for Frank Clark. I think at this point

404
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 1: it's worked. Frank Clark is a more complete, more dominant

405
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:33,440
Speaker 1: player and Honey Badger, your boy West from like six

406
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:36,440
Speaker 1: years ago on this podcast like to me that he's

407
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 1: sort of owning this super Bowl on some little outside

408
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 1: of the quarterbacks and the coaches, Like he's kind of

409
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:43,159
Speaker 1: owning the Super Bowl and he deserves to. He seems

410
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:46,440
Speaker 1: like he's peaking, like peak Honey Badger at the right time.

411
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 1: And couldn't you imagine like him putting up like an

412
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 1: m v P type performance where where he makes like

413
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 1: great plays. Everything you showed its true. And yet I think,

414
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:57,639
Speaker 1: like back to an interview Andy Reid did about twelve

415
00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 1: years ago where he was asked what his primary job

416
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 1: UB is and he said, as a play caller is

417
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:05,160
Speaker 1: to get into a rhythm with a defensive play caller

418
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 1: on the other side and exploit what he wants to do.

419
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:10,680
Speaker 1: And I don't think anybody's better that that than Kyle Shannahan.

420
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:13,159
Speaker 1: He's doing it against the defense and he knows he

421
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 1: can run on I think Kyle Shannahan knows I can

422
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 1: run on him. I'm gonna keep their defense going back

423
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:20,679
Speaker 1: and forth between the run and pass, and I'm not

424
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 1: sure Andy Reid can do that as much against the

425
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:26,119
Speaker 1: forty Niners defense, but Mahomes is the X factor. They

426
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:29,480
Speaker 1: make them, you know, defend so much they do missdirection

427
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:32,199
Speaker 1: like they you know, Reid can make you defend like

428
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 1: every inch of the field. But it's not as very

429
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:37,479
Speaker 1: like someone I think it was Stephen Ruiz looked at

430
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 1: the NFC Championship and that everyone thinks of the Shannahan's like,

431
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:44,040
Speaker 1: that's the zone blocking scheme, you know, back in the

432
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 1: eighty and I've said the same things like that, he's

433
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:48,440
Speaker 1: got the Shanna. He ran like he ran thirteen different

434
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 1: run concepts in that game alone. So he's running power,

435
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 1: he's running trap, he's running all the like type of

436
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:58,119
Speaker 1: running game that every team would want to run. And

437
00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 1: it's like in two thousand nineteen where all the coaches, oh,

438
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 1: we can't practice enough, like we don't have enough installation time,

439
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 1: we don't have players and grinning more plays and you know,

440
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 1: types of plays than any coach just about ever has

441
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 1: on a running and so he's getting done. It's a game.

442
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:18,359
Speaker 1: It's a credit to Kyle Shanahan, or maybe unfair to

443
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:20,719
Speaker 1: the player we're about to mention, but Raheem Moster, it's

444
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 1: coming off one of the greatest playoff games in the

445
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:26,480
Speaker 1: history of the NFL, the running back position goes and

446
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 1: he have four touchdowns. It was just a monster game.

447
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:32,600
Speaker 1: You would thinking typically in the way the sports covered

448
00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:35,160
Speaker 1: when a running back does that in the title game.

449
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 1: Going to the Super Bowl, people are talking about this guy.

450
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,920
Speaker 1: Nobody's talking about Raheem most people and they and he

451
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 1: really to me by the way, trying to play through

452
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 1: the shoulder and available to tack. So I think that's

453
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:56,920
Speaker 1: that's the other part of this is that that they're

454
00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:59,680
Speaker 1: coming home a game where most and had like and

455
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,680
Speaker 1: rereadible all time type game. He is somebody that I

456
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 1: would imagine as they look at the tape. Now, there

457
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:07,679
Speaker 1: were some big holes that he was running through. But

458
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 1: that's also a concern. I mean that he made people

459
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 1: miss he was He's a fast guy. He was lights

460
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:17,359
Speaker 1: out that game. I think Damian Williams kind of on

461
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:19,040
Speaker 1: the other side, there is an X factor that he

462
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 1: slept on a little bit that if if the game

463
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:24,960
Speaker 1: shaped up that way, that they needed him to touch

464
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:28,439
Speaker 1: the ball eighteen times, whether it's screens and runs, and

465
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:31,879
Speaker 1: like I I think Damian Williams is capable of putting

466
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:35,680
Speaker 1: up there's too many games where the ground attack for

467
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:38,879
Speaker 1: the Chiefs has not been what you would want. I

468
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:41,920
Speaker 1: mean not to me is the one position positional group

469
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:44,120
Speaker 1: that feels like it could be exploited. It's a little week.

470
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:46,720
Speaker 1: I do think the Chief's offensive line, though flip side,

471
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 1: has been outstanding and give us the Niners defense something

472
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 1: to think about. Right there, our our friend, uh or

473
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 1: what was I gonna say? Patrick Mahomes rather makes the

474
00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 1: offensive line look better. Patrick Mahomes is your friend? Yeah

475
00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:01,720
Speaker 1: he isn't my friend. I wish he was my friend.

476
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:06,800
Speaker 1: Kind of a family Uh, he's becoming a family favorite.

477
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:09,360
Speaker 1: My wife bought a Patrick Mahomes T shirt like kind

478
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 1: of like an the kids are the kids are so

479
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:17,720
Speaker 1: into uh football and Mahomes is kind of like he

480
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:20,400
Speaker 1: is that guy that I think kids growing up, if

481
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:23,639
Speaker 1: you're not a huge fan of some team, are going

482
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 1: to gravitate too. And to me, it's sort of like

483
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 1: the question of are they are they just unguarded able?

484
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 1: Though I think that's possible, Like is the way the

485
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:33,879
Speaker 1: rules are and as good as Mahomes is and the

486
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:36,080
Speaker 1: five you know, if you put five receivers out, can

487
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:40,480
Speaker 1: you are they almost stoppable? Because I know how great.

488
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes has been with the pass rush in his face,

489
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:45,400
Speaker 1: but if you get him from the blind side, you're

490
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:47,800
Speaker 1: taking him down. And the forty Niners said the defensive

491
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:50,879
Speaker 1: line to be able to do that. They they're tricky

492
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:52,919
Speaker 1: because if you bought it feels like if you blocked

493
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 1: three of their guys, well, it's like the fourth is

494
00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:59,160
Speaker 1: still gonna get there. And I think we talked about

495
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:03,399
Speaker 1: on Sky Sports, but the Forest Buckner Bosa combo is

496
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 1: like the most unstoppable combo in sports. Like that's where

497
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:11,000
Speaker 1: the protection always goes to that side where it's Buckner

498
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:13,400
Speaker 1: and Bosa and they do these games, and sometimes they

499
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:16,639
Speaker 1: do these games where then they occupy the blockers and

500
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:19,880
Speaker 1: Armstead comes around and like those two next to each other,

501
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 1: it's almost like you don't know what to do, but

502
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 1: how do you stop? Like Mahomes and Kelsey when it

503
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 1: just feels like they know what each other is doing,

504
00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 1: they have a very similar like Gronk and Brady vibe

505
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 1: to them, where like he knows what Kelsey's gonna do

506
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:35,320
Speaker 1: before he does it. I can't think of another Super

507
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:39,560
Speaker 1: Bowl where literally any outcome would not surprise me because

508
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 1: both teams are so powerful. But I can't see the

509
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:45,920
Speaker 1: Niners getting blown out. I just I'm not blown out.

510
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:48,439
Speaker 1: Not blown out, I don't because they haven't been all

511
00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 1: year and that's not in their their DNA. But the

512
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:53,439
Speaker 1: Chiefs exploding for a ton of points where it's not

513
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:56,400
Speaker 1: nearly a score. Look, I'm with you that anything could

514
00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:58,960
Speaker 1: be a surprise, but I think at some point it's

515
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:02,399
Speaker 1: gonna gonna be nerve racking in the second half because

516
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:05,960
Speaker 1: this this game, you take so much energy with the

517
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:08,640
Speaker 1: the thirty minute halftime break, You're so hyped up. It's

518
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:11,720
Speaker 1: like at some point the Chiefs are gonna get there

519
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 1: like somebody. Both offenses I think are gonna get there. Um,

520
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 1: all right, let's stick a pin good football talk. I

521
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 1: do want to touchase. What do we what are we thinking?

522
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:23,800
Speaker 1: Wess about the Shakira j Lo halftime show? Since you

523
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 1: bring up the thirty minute halftime, I guess Emmy Lou

524
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:30,159
Speaker 1: Harris wasn't available this year. It feels like it's perfect

525
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 1: for Miami, right, Well, that's what they're going for. It

526
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 1: seems this is a city where I've been so impressed

527
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:38,520
Speaker 1: and by the way, I've been converted to from London

528
00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:40,560
Speaker 1: in Miami the way to see a great city, and

529
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:42,359
Speaker 1: most great cities are on the water. The way to

530
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:44,960
Speaker 1: see a great cities by water, it's just a totally

531
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:49,880
Speaker 1: different experience. Good call. This city is like the looks

532
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:53,639
Speaker 1: in the languages in the megafauna. It's like, must be

533
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 1: like what Chicago, Chicagoans felt when the world Bear came

534
00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:59,639
Speaker 1: to town in like e is just exotic stuff you

535
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:03,040
Speaker 1: never see. Do have some issues with the sidewalk scenario

536
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:05,399
Speaker 1: that you mentioned that a couple of times. There's one issue.

537
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:07,760
Speaker 1: People don't clean up after their dogs in the city.

538
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 1: It's a bad jobs. It's a it's amazing, like it

539
00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 1: has its own culture to it, and there's so many

540
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:18,119
Speaker 1: cultures and it's all missed, like mixed up together, and

541
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:23,160
Speaker 1: we should it should just be this in New Orleans here.

542
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:26,440
Speaker 1: That's that's that's kind of a hot take. Um, And

543
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:28,240
Speaker 1: it's become to me a bit of a cliche take

544
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 1: at this point that only to hold the super Bowl

545
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:33,920
Speaker 1: hero that or whatever I mean certain cities. I don't

546
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:36,280
Speaker 1: think that really reward that, you know, the great people

547
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:41,680
Speaker 1: of Tampa. No, let's just do it here again. This

548
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:44,960
Speaker 1: is no disrespect to these regions of the country in fact,

549
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:47,280
Speaker 1: I'm from these regions of the country, but I don't

550
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 1: think the super Bowl should be held in a cold

551
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 1: weather city. I sincerely believe that. Um And but I

552
00:28:54,040 --> 00:29:03,040
Speaker 1: think Miami, Miami, Miami, Orleans at California, they're about to

553
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 1: have a new stadium. L A is a great spot

554
00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 1: for a super Bowl. Now they're gonna have a state

555
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 1: of the arts. Not for us. They don't get to,

556
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:13,200
Speaker 1: you know, our purposes. That'll be that'll be tricky. This

557
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:15,520
Speaker 1: one is a little spread out, but that'll there will

558
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:17,480
Speaker 1: be no center to I kind of like the idea

559
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 1: of sleeping in my own vendor in super Bowl week.

560
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:22,320
Speaker 1: That's just me. But west one last question about the

561
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:26,360
Speaker 1: halftime show. If you were installed as a shadowy League

562
00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 1: figure on the issue, and I'm being totally you have

563
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 1: to choose it, they say, Chris Westling, you're picking the

564
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:34,560
Speaker 1: halftime show, so you get the greet, you get the

565
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:37,800
Speaker 1: backlash though, if people don't like that he was that

566
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:40,920
Speaker 1: decided and you you're picking the halftime show and you

567
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 1: can't say, like, I'm not doing any music that, No,

568
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:46,400
Speaker 1: you gotta pick up musical act what would it be?

569
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:50,160
Speaker 1: We could stick a pin of this and I could

570
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:54,560
Speaker 1: come back to you. All right, louis available. I feel

571
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 1: like I mean, it was a good one. But the

572
00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 1: way you're there's a lot of responsibility. Yeah, amount of

573
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:04,720
Speaker 1: feel excise. All right, all right we think on that.

574
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:07,080
Speaker 1: Let's now let's have a little fun. Let's do a

575
00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 1: little Go get my Lunch super Bowl edition and uh,

576
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:15,960
Speaker 1: if you are new to the show or have not

577
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:18,840
Speaker 1: caught our go get my Lunch EPs. This is when

578
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:22,800
Speaker 1: we each make a prediction for the game and then

579
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:26,080
Speaker 1: the rest of the guys get to either say, yes,

580
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:29,160
Speaker 1: I agree that's going to happen or no, I disagree.

581
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:32,200
Speaker 1: Let's put a sandwich on it. Uh, sandwiches that never

582
00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:35,360
Speaker 1: get paid out, but still we keep the standings. Go

583
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:38,320
Speaker 1: get my Lunch dot org. The great Nick Fourtier does

584
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:40,440
Speaker 1: an incredible job tracking this. And I have to say,

585
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:45,560
Speaker 1: I'm coming off a woeful nineteen season, so there's no

586
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:48,480
Speaker 1: way to salvage what's happened for me, uh this year,

587
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:52,600
Speaker 1: but winning a Super Bowl prop or collecting some sandwiches

588
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:54,760
Speaker 1: in a big spot in Miami that would at least

589
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:56,360
Speaker 1: take away some of the stings. So there's a lot

590
00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:59,160
Speaker 1: of the stakes are so you can set a tone

591
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:01,000
Speaker 1: for what's ahead for this year. That's a good way

592
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 1: to look at it as well. So let's go around

593
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:07,120
Speaker 1: the horn and throw them out Giggs. All right, Um,

594
00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:14,400
Speaker 1: I believe that Deebo Samuel, we'll have more receiving yards

595
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:19,440
Speaker 1: in this game than Tyree Hill or Travis Kelsey. Let's

596
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:24,760
Speaker 1: just throw it out there both that Deebo Samuel going

597
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:27,680
Speaker 1: up against this Chiefs. I mean, we might as well

598
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 1: make these spicies and usually wrong going up against this

599
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 1: Chief Stevens, where I do think you can get some

600
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:34,280
Speaker 1: run after the catch. He reminds me so much of

601
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:36,520
Speaker 1: a like a young an Kan Bold and I think

602
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:39,360
Speaker 1: he's this is that's my favorite type of receiver, a

603
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:42,480
Speaker 1: physical receiver who's as good I think maybe in the

604
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:46,480
Speaker 1: open field as any person with the ball in this game.

605
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:49,520
Speaker 1: In terms of making in in this game, like if

606
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:51,720
Speaker 1: I could take one person to have to you know,

607
00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:54,480
Speaker 1: go through a secondary, make the mess and get to

608
00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 1: the end zone in an Hill is like one of

609
00:31:57,400 --> 00:31:59,680
Speaker 1: the greatest returners of his general he he is, But

610
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:01,640
Speaker 1: if are you just putting him on the forty yardline,

611
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:03,280
Speaker 1: He's got to make his way to the end zone,

612
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:05,960
Speaker 1: get past four or five people with the speed that

613
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 1: he has. I would say Deebo Samuel. And this is

614
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 1: partly because I love that forty Niners tackling so much,

615
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:14,960
Speaker 1: like they are the best open field tackling team I've

616
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:17,200
Speaker 1: ever seen. It's so hard to get yards after the

617
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:19,800
Speaker 1: catch against them, whereas I think the Chiefs that's where

618
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 1: they're vulnerable. It's the Deebo Samuel coming out. I'll take

619
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:24,760
Speaker 1: you on it, but I like you're coming from But

620
00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:27,520
Speaker 1: that speaks to me. I don't know why name. That

621
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:29,520
Speaker 1: was just I was just gonna do one, and I'm

622
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:31,360
Speaker 1: just you must think the Niners will win this game.

623
00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:33,600
Speaker 1: If that scenario were to playoffs, they could. Now they

624
00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 1: could be coming from behind, uh and he could have

625
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:38,640
Speaker 1: a big game. Certainly. I think they're both gonna have

626
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 1: a lot of yards, so Debo more than Tyreeke or Kelsey.

627
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:45,800
Speaker 1: That's right. Wow, I am gonna take this one because

628
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:47,800
Speaker 1: I think this might be the worst go get my

629
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:49,800
Speaker 1: lunch thing you've ever thrown out there. What do you

630
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 1: mean Samuel is going to have more receiving yards than

631
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 1: both Tyree unlikely, Yeah, but two guys who are better

632
00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:59,720
Speaker 1: than him. That's the idea. If I said Tyreek Hill's

633
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 1: gonna have the most receiving yards. What's the point. I'm

634
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:06,040
Speaker 1: just explaining why I'm taking it. Um, it's spicy. I'll

635
00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:07,720
Speaker 1: take it up on it as well. I'll take it

636
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:12,320
Speaker 1: all right. So, as I said, I had a horrendous

637
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:15,120
Speaker 1: regular season, so I need a w I'm not saying

638
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:16,960
Speaker 1: this is a safe pick, but I do want to

639
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:20,480
Speaker 1: just say that, Um, the thing that I'm most looking

640
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:24,640
Speaker 1: forward to in the super Bowl is watching Patrick Mahomes

641
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:26,400
Speaker 1: play in the Super Bowl. I mean, I just think

642
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:28,800
Speaker 1: that's so fun and I think that is uh, he

643
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:31,640
Speaker 1: is that type of talent. Someone asked me. I think

644
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:34,720
Speaker 1: maybe it was the great Neil Reynolds Sky Sports. Um,

645
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:38,080
Speaker 1: what is in your years at the NFL, who are

646
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 1: the players are that have you know? Most jumped out

647
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:42,800
Speaker 1: to you that you've been the most fun to watch?

648
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:47,920
Speaker 1: And my first thought obviously was Luke Falk and what

649
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:52,960
Speaker 1: he was able to do surgery, Chad Penny surgery called

650
00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:55,160
Speaker 1: Chad was a warrior. He had his moments post surgery.

651
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:57,880
Speaker 1: But yeah, Falk obviously was number one. But I would

652
00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:00,560
Speaker 1: say Patrick Mahomes is the guy for me that I

653
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:03,200
Speaker 1: get so like, I get a lot of enjoyment out

654
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:04,840
Speaker 1: of just watch him, because he's one of those all

655
00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:08,840
Speaker 1: time rare great athletes where you know anything is possible

656
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:11,520
Speaker 1: when he's on the field, and we saw that on

657
00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:14,480
Speaker 1: that amazing running the twenty seven yard touchdown down the

658
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:16,759
Speaker 1: sideline in the n f C Title Game. And I

659
00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 1: just what I want to happen because I don't have

660
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:21,719
Speaker 1: a true rooting interest because I'm a Jets fan, uh

661
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:23,800
Speaker 1: and we don't play in the Super Bowl, is that

662
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:26,920
Speaker 1: I want to see special moments for Mahomes. I want

663
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:30,560
Speaker 1: to this stage to become an iconic scene for one

664
00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:33,439
Speaker 1: of the great young quarterbacks we've seen. So with that said,

665
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:37,680
Speaker 1: very straightforward, the old guy versus the field, Patrick Mahomes

666
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:42,399
Speaker 1: super Bowl MVP. That's a tough one. It's it's very

667
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:46,080
Speaker 1: hard to imagine a scenario. Not impossible, but it's hard

668
00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:48,359
Speaker 1: to imagine a scenario where the Chiefs win the Super

669
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:51,520
Speaker 1: Bowl and Mahomes is not the m v P. I

670
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:53,560
Speaker 1: feel like he would he would be about a ninety

671
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:56,000
Speaker 1: five Tyreek Kill is not going to show up to

672
00:34:56,080 --> 00:35:02,879
Speaker 1: this game. I just need Deebo Samuel to get like one. Um,

673
00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:05,200
Speaker 1: I'll take you up on it. Why not just just

674
00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:08,160
Speaker 1: for the and now he gets to like added thing.

675
00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:10,359
Speaker 1: I get you guys are now rooting against a good

676
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:13,400
Speaker 1: guy and a great talent and a fund now that

677
00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 1: the standard it like, who knows who did well that? Yeah?

678
00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:18,320
Speaker 1: We all? I think we all were pretty solid. But

679
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:21,080
Speaker 1: Dan had a bad year. I believe that you're ugly

680
00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:24,360
Speaker 1: run of open with you predicting an m VP award

681
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:27,320
Speaker 1: for Drew Brees, which wasn't a bad predictally what it

682
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 1: certainly wasn't um I believe you called it an onion hanger.

683
00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:31,320
Speaker 1: It seemed like more of a pick them, but that

684
00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 1: that was fine. I would that be a pick of

685
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:36,759
Speaker 1: a guy that's never one m VP in eighteen years.

686
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:40,920
Speaker 1: Let's let's just press it up now in the overall

687
00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:44,359
Speaker 1: standings with Dan's uh three and eighteen year or whatever

688
00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:46,719
Speaker 1: it was, It's like I can just throw some away. Yeah, no,

689
00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:49,759
Speaker 1: that explains it. Yeah, I think I'm still near the

690
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:51,799
Speaker 1: top of the overall standings, but this has certainly brought

691
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:53,520
Speaker 1: me down to the pack. So what about you, guys.

692
00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:56,120
Speaker 1: I got a Mahomes comp for you, which you may

693
00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:59,719
Speaker 1: be interesting. When Al Davis was scouting for the low

694
00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:02,320
Speaker 1: Thing Angelist charges they may have been San Diego, but

695
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:05,160
Speaker 1: then he was sent to Alabama to watch Joe Namath

696
00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:09,000
Speaker 1: before he injured his knee, and the scattered report was,

697
00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:12,040
Speaker 1: I saw a guy who tips the field. This s

698
00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:15,200
Speaker 1: ob plays like he's born downhill and he's redefined distance

699
00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:17,840
Speaker 1: on the field. And to me, that's exactly who Patrick

700
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:21,840
Speaker 1: Mahomes is more than anybody is pre pre knee injury

701
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:23,759
Speaker 1: Nameth where he can stretch the field with his arm

702
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:27,320
Speaker 1: and outrun everyone trying to second. Name got drafted to

703
00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:31,439
Speaker 1: the Jets. The doctors cleared him to play, but told

704
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:33,719
Speaker 1: the Jets and told nay, but you have about five

705
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:36,320
Speaker 1: years on that knee. What they say about Name is

706
00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:39,439
Speaker 1: ability is athletic ability. Before he ripped up his knee

707
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:43,000
Speaker 1: at Alabama, they say it's just like and you get

708
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:45,759
Speaker 1: on me for recency bias, West, but you also like

709
00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:49,440
Speaker 1: to say, you know when you see it, and Mahomes

710
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:52,319
Speaker 1: more than any player that I've covered since I've been

711
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:54,840
Speaker 1: you know, covering football, is you know it when you

712
00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:57,959
Speaker 1: see it. You know that he is an all time

713
00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:00,360
Speaker 1: great right off the bat. Kind of when you see it,

714
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:02,440
Speaker 1: it's just a matter of like what shape that takes

715
00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:05,840
Speaker 1: and his so called like lesser games are would be

716
00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:07,960
Speaker 1: the top for other people. He doesn't have those three

717
00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:10,560
Speaker 1: or four games where he stunk up to joint. Uh,

718
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:13,160
Speaker 1: you guys, take him the sandwich. I will take you

719
00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:15,640
Speaker 1: just for I'll take it just for sporting interests. But

720
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:18,680
Speaker 1: if this happens, this will go down as if he

721
00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:20,040
Speaker 1: wins the m v P, It's going to be the

722
00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:22,799
Speaker 1: gold standard for postseason playoff runs by a quarter fan.

723
00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:27,760
Speaker 1: That's an interesting thought, the all time great QB runs.

724
00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:29,920
Speaker 1: You haven't heard that as much. Think about Joe Montana.

725
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:40,600
Speaker 1: I mean, that's a little unders are outrageous, No, they are,

726
00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:42,880
Speaker 1: but there have been other prestige. Joe Flacco had a

727
00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:46,640
Speaker 1: pretty amazing right, it wasn't throwing like nine to two games.

728
00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:49,960
Speaker 1: Completely different human beings. Alright, West, it's time for your

729
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:51,560
Speaker 1: prop and I just want to say before you do

730
00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:55,000
Speaker 1: it reminded everyone that around the NFL podcast is presented.

731
00:37:55,160 --> 00:38:00,880
Speaker 1: Did your stock up on? Did your pizza for the

732
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:03,040
Speaker 1: big game? All right? Did not know this kind of

733
00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:08,160
Speaker 1: attention was going to come? Are we good? With George

734
00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:13,800
Speaker 1: Kittle and Travis Kelty both break Rob Gunkowski's record for

735
00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:16,960
Speaker 1: most yards of the Super Bowl yards. I mean, I

736
00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:19,360
Speaker 1: like that. You're getting on me for that debo is

737
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:25,680
Speaker 1: the word. Of course I would take it out, but

738
00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:29,040
Speaker 1: they both were still a long shot. I think that's

739
00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:32,080
Speaker 1: a good prop. I think it's a great pop. But

740
00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:33,840
Speaker 1: he's getting on mine for being a long chest. This

741
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:38,800
Speaker 1: is a big time long shot. It doesn't hold grudges.

742
00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:41,080
Speaker 1: When you strike out at him, you're never going to

743
00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:44,719
Speaker 1: get always in my head. And then once you guys

744
00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:46,880
Speaker 1: give me permission by coming at me, I can finally

745
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:50,520
Speaker 1: say not after be so is you know, untied? He

746
00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:53,919
Speaker 1: could be the true savage he is. Now what Greg

747
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:57,839
Speaker 1: will do is he'll store what I just then four

748
00:38:57,960 --> 00:39:00,960
Speaker 1: minutes there'll be some type of arrow I had. I

749
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:03,120
Speaker 1: had something about it right for you, which is gotta

750
00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:05,239
Speaker 1: be how we were waiting for the van for you

751
00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:09,200
Speaker 1: to show up today fifteen minutes like no, wait, let's

752
00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:14,320
Speaker 1: talk about that. Because I had a radio appearance The

753
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:17,040
Speaker 1: Good Show with Ben Andis and j D. Bunkus. Love

754
00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:20,439
Speaker 1: those guys, and they, uh, you know, started a little

755
00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:23,600
Speaker 1: later than I was told. They didn't start untill nine.

756
00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:26,200
Speaker 1: And then I gave you guys the heads up. I said,

757
00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:28,600
Speaker 1: we're starting a little they're starting a little later. Um,

758
00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:32,680
Speaker 1: just letting you know. Greg writes back, Okay, we'll meet

759
00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:36,560
Speaker 1: you there. I said, okay, the phone rings, I do

760
00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:41,080
Speaker 1: my my interview, and then it ends I'm not rushing

761
00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:44,560
Speaker 1: downstairs because now I think you guys have left. I

762
00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:48,320
Speaker 1: was under the depression you were gone. Incredible bit was

763
00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:53,279
Speaker 1: that he was joking. But I also texted immediately afterwards. Uh,

764
00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:56,960
Speaker 1: but I did not see that. Yeah, but that's not

765
00:39:57,200 --> 00:39:58,919
Speaker 1: that's not on me. You also didn't see the text

766
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,239
Speaker 1: are leaving at nine thirty. I mean you're the one

767
00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:04,640
Speaker 1: that took the radio interview when we all knew when

768
00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:09,759
Speaker 1: we were leaving. I honestly the the text you said,

769
00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:13,400
Speaker 1: which was an incredible bit. Again, I saw only that,

770
00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:15,600
Speaker 1: so I was working on that. So then I even

771
00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:18,200
Speaker 1: went downstairs and Gregg's. But was so funny I never

772
00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:21,120
Speaker 1: thought of it that I got an uber. Then I

773
00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:23,399
Speaker 1: see you guys about three minutes later to my left

774
00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:25,799
Speaker 1: at the cancel at Uber And get to guess who

775
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:28,120
Speaker 1: was getting nailed with the five dollar uber? The old

776
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:35,000
Speaker 1: juser so legendary it cost me five dollars. Yeah, just

777
00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:37,440
Speaker 1: checked that. Let's just say let's say we were study,

778
00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:40,120
Speaker 1: which one of the four of us that we would

779
00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:42,239
Speaker 1: have been waiting for what would have those like pre

780
00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:44,640
Speaker 1: game odds been. How have you a favorite? Would would

781
00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:46,759
Speaker 1: Dan have been? You'd have been a happy favorite. Yes,

782
00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:49,279
Speaker 1: it would be a favorite in this case. I had

783
00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:52,040
Speaker 1: I had cleared it and let you guys know, and

784
00:40:52,040 --> 00:40:54,400
Speaker 1: in fact had no issue with you leaving at earlier

785
00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:56,920
Speaker 1: I thought it was like, why why are they rushing

786
00:40:56,960 --> 00:40:58,560
Speaker 1: to get his greg like making a point, but it

787
00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:00,759
Speaker 1: was like, you know what, i have things to worry about,

788
00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:03,880
Speaker 1: and uh, and I'm glad that it all worked out

789
00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:08,440
Speaker 1: when we got here, and and here we are now. Well,

790
00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:10,439
Speaker 1: be the one to show up and the first to leave.

791
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:13,120
Speaker 1: Those are the two things. Get me out here as

792
00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:16,600
Speaker 1: soon as possible. Please, all right now, Wes, you're problem.

793
00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:22,040
Speaker 1: I'm and Kelsey both break Bronx record sixteen yards by

794
00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:23,960
Speaker 1: a tight end and a Super Bowl. Yeah, I'll take you.

795
00:41:24,560 --> 00:41:26,120
Speaker 1: I think we should. I'll take all of our I

796
00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:29,160
Speaker 1: will take you, very very intriguing. I like it, Thank you,

797
00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:31,920
Speaker 1: all right, Mark, It was crafted so you know, you know,

798
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:33,879
Speaker 1: I know you think I'm gonna come with some long

799
00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:37,680
Speaker 1: winded reading type script about something insane that's gonna happen.

800
00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:41,600
Speaker 1: None of that. It's very It's very crystal clear to me. UM,

801
00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:44,480
Speaker 1: this has been a very strange week. We've been rated

802
00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:47,880
Speaker 1: by you know, the Federal Bureau of Investigation. UM, We've

803
00:41:48,239 --> 00:41:51,040
Speaker 1: we've saw Jamal Adams at a pool party yesterday outside

804
00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:55,040
Speaker 1: of our hotel, UM, and nothing less than it was

805
00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:57,520
Speaker 1: a rather a rather circus like environment. So I think

806
00:41:57,560 --> 00:42:00,640
Speaker 1: the weirdness is going to continue, UM in this sense.

807
00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:03,080
Speaker 1: And we've we've seen I'm gonna tell you something that's

808
00:42:03,120 --> 00:42:06,080
Speaker 1: not that crazy. We've seen this happen UM during our

809
00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:09,320
Speaker 1: time with the NFL at a super Bowl. Okay, And

810
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:11,359
Speaker 1: I'm not going to predict over time like I did

811
00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:13,640
Speaker 1: when I nailed it a couple of years ago. Totally

812
00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:16,080
Speaker 1: nailed that one is my Super Bowl lock. But uh,

813
00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:20,439
Speaker 1: this and I nailed that, well, you know, I gotta

814
00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:23,240
Speaker 1: set the ground rules here. But I see this game

815
00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:27,720
Speaker 1: is going to have a stoppage in play, non injury

816
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:31,120
Speaker 1: related that will be fifth at least fifteen minutes long.

817
00:42:31,719 --> 00:42:34,000
Speaker 1: And the last time this happened, that your preface that

818
00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:36,160
Speaker 1: this was, hey guys, it's not gonna be crazy and

819
00:42:36,239 --> 00:42:38,799
Speaker 1: off the wall mark stuff that you're expecting. And now

820
00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:42,040
Speaker 1: this has happened. This has happened to us. In fact,

821
00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:44,439
Speaker 1: I had to write the news article when the lights

822
00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:47,480
Speaker 1: went out in the super Dome in New Orleans during

823
00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:50,040
Speaker 1: the Ravens Niners. So the game has stopped for a

824
00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:52,880
Speaker 1: non injury related reason, but it only lasts eleven minutes.

825
00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:54,719
Speaker 1: You lose this prop. Now, this is gonna be one

826
00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:58,120
Speaker 1: of the horses, shoes and hand garnades thing where if

827
00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:01,120
Speaker 1: it's close, he gets the prop. Also, I'm gonna stop

828
00:43:01,239 --> 00:43:03,520
Speaker 1: for nine minutes. Let's give it to Mark if you

829
00:43:03,560 --> 00:43:09,240
Speaker 1: want to say twelve minutes. If it's stopped for fourteen

830
00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:11,560
Speaker 1: minutes and forty five seconds, I would lose the property.

831
00:43:11,560 --> 00:43:13,880
Speaker 1: I would be outraged, but it would. It must be

832
00:43:14,040 --> 00:43:15,880
Speaker 1: fifteen minutes. I want to add, because we need to

833
00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:20,080
Speaker 1: be exact with this. When the stoppage occurs, it is

834
00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:23,120
Speaker 1: incumbent on you to get out your iPhone and hit

835
00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:26,839
Speaker 1: the time and tell us make it that's fair. Part

836
00:43:26,880 --> 00:43:29,560
Speaker 1: doesn't count towards the fifteen minutes. So you have that's

837
00:43:29,640 --> 00:43:31,680
Speaker 1: part of the to make sure this is any delay

838
00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:37,480
Speaker 1: on the game. You have to be on top if

839
00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:40,160
Speaker 1: if something it starts being delayed, you have to start

840
00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:45,400
Speaker 1: your time or the that's the official UH time of record.

841
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:48,839
Speaker 1: That is a totally appropriate request on your part. I'm

842
00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:51,280
Speaker 1: happy to play in this game. Woll Our three props

843
00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:54,560
Speaker 1: are like one in twenty long shot stands about it.

844
00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:56,680
Speaker 1: I wonder what's frob I bet it would be like

845
00:43:56,760 --> 00:43:59,720
Speaker 1: forty six, because you know they're they're a slight favorite.

846
00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:03,319
Speaker 1: And but if they if they win, he's very very

847
00:44:03,440 --> 00:44:09,400
Speaker 1: likely that the v Property season I have effectively doomed Patrick,

848
00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:12,719
Speaker 1: which I don't want to have happened. But that's all right.

849
00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:15,440
Speaker 1: I will obviously take you up on that. That's an

850
00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:17,440
Speaker 1: onion hanger, as they always are. And when we appreciate

851
00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:20,360
Speaker 1: that one, well, I mean, I believe these things are

852
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:22,239
Speaker 1: going to happen. I'm not just throwing this out there

853
00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:27,799
Speaker 1: is a rando, you know, chucklefest. We believe this as

854
00:44:27,880 --> 00:44:29,680
Speaker 1: much as you believe you want Jameis Winston to win

855
00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:31,880
Speaker 1: a super Bowl more than any other that is, that's

856
00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:35,799
Speaker 1: in a different category of the Ravens quarterback. That's one

857
00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:39,440
Speaker 1: thing you've always wanted. Well, you know, listen, that is

858
00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:41,520
Speaker 1: an article that's it's in print, so it must be true.

859
00:44:41,560 --> 00:44:43,759
Speaker 1: I wrote it. We're gonna we're gonna talk about this

860
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:49,680
Speaker 1: article for years. I feel like why I want grabbed,

861
00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:57,839
Speaker 1: Why Cessler? Why I want Davis Kama Lamaram article. I'm

862
00:44:57,880 --> 00:44:59,440
Speaker 1: sure Dan that you I'm sure that you read it.

863
00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:01,160
Speaker 1: You must be on the edge of your seat, you know,

864
00:45:01,719 --> 00:45:05,680
Speaker 1: tracking this James free Agent was tracking players or coaches

865
00:45:05,719 --> 00:45:08,279
Speaker 1: I'd like to see when if who have not been

866
00:45:08,360 --> 00:45:10,359
Speaker 1: there yet or have not one one at least last year.

867
00:45:10,360 --> 00:45:13,000
Speaker 1: I picked Andy Reid and Kyle Shanahan. My wish is

868
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:16,880
Speaker 1: gonna come true one? So that sounds like something that

869
00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:18,719
Speaker 1: you made up and then no one's going to check.

870
00:45:18,800 --> 00:45:21,200
Speaker 1: That was the most fake wow from Greg ever, like

871
00:45:22,520 --> 00:45:24,600
Speaker 1: that was that real one? And and I'm looking back

872
00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:30,239
Speaker 1: and seeing a little Sebastian Bohmer back. There are all

873
00:45:30,280 --> 00:45:35,040

Speaker 1: great Chris Russo serious exc gentle man. I've never been

879
00:45:56,080 --> 00:46:01,560

880
00:46:01,680 --> 00:46:04,719
Speaker 1: mad Dog. This is such a thrill especially for Mark

881
00:46:04,760 --> 00:46:08,319
Speaker 1: and I Mark Connecticut, I'm from Rockland County in New York.

00:46:22,080 --> 00:46:27,279
Speaker 1: Mark and I were like, yes, good job. I'm getting old.

887
00:46:28,120 --> 00:46:30,719
Speaker 1: In Park's words like he would never be nervous or

888
00:46:30,760 --> 00:46:33,720
Speaker 1: have any sort of like excitement over any players or coaches.

889
00:46:33,760 --> 00:46:36,080
Speaker 1: He doesn't even like football that put in here, he

890
00:46:36,080 --> 00:46:40,080
Speaker 1: wouldn't even be nervous. How it's a whole different level.

891
00:46:40,160 --> 00:46:42,719
Speaker 1: So it's good to be here. And obviously you can't

892
00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:44,719
Speaker 1: beat the football game. I'm looking forward to a giant

893
00:46:44,960 --> 00:46:47,640
Speaker 1: the Ananas and Chief games something. I mean, you are

894
00:46:47,960 --> 00:46:51,279
Speaker 1: an encyclopedia of sports knowledge. You're famous for that, Chris,

895
00:46:51,440 --> 00:46:54,640
Speaker 1: but you also are kind of put this thing. Make

896
00:46:54,680 --> 00:46:57,120
Speaker 1: this official, because I know it's floated out there. I'm

897
00:46:57,120 --> 00:46:58,920
Speaker 1: sure people ask you about it, but I wanted official

898
00:46:58,960 --> 00:47:02,280
Speaker 1: on the Around the NFL pod. Guess did you create

899
00:47:02,520 --> 00:47:04,800
Speaker 1: Radio row as it's modern le seen? Well, I I

900
00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:07,480
Speaker 1: don't want you to listen, I mean, the only if

901
00:47:08,080 --> 00:47:10,800
Speaker 1: it's I hate to say it that way, because it

902
00:47:10,920 --> 00:47:12,759
Speaker 1: makes it sounds like I'm telling myself in the back.

903
00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:18,279
Speaker 1: Here's the way I would say it. Yeah, that was

904
00:47:18,360 --> 00:47:21,839
Speaker 1: the San Francisco Denver super Bowl, the eighty nine year,

905
00:47:22,040 --> 00:47:25,000
Speaker 1: the nineties super Bowl. That was the first year Mike

906
00:47:25,040 --> 00:47:28,160
Speaker 1: and the mad Dog first six months we went to

907
00:47:28,520 --> 00:47:30,840
Speaker 1: We went to the super Bowl that year and that

908
00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:33,200
Speaker 1: was in New Orleans and we did the show from

909
00:47:33,200 --> 00:47:37,239
Speaker 1: the Hyatt. Eddie Andelman was there, probably from e I

910
00:47:37,320 --> 00:47:42,560
Speaker 1: in Boston and probably Eskin Philadelphia. He was there and

911
00:47:42,719 --> 00:47:45,080
Speaker 1: Mike and I and the local guy from New Orleans.

912
00:47:45,080 --> 00:47:47,440
Speaker 1: There's only four now before you go out there and

913
00:47:47,520 --> 00:47:49,680
Speaker 1: sit there and say wow, look at that, and you're

914
00:47:49,680 --> 00:47:55,719
Speaker 1: still doing it, and they aren't necessarily before before it

915
00:47:56,080 --> 00:47:59,080
Speaker 1: in San Diego and right here in Miami, and that

916
00:47:59,280 --> 00:48:03,600
Speaker 1: was the that was the Cincinnati San Francisco super Bowl.

917
00:48:04,080 --> 00:48:07,600
Speaker 1: Uh So we F A N did do super Bowl

918
00:48:07,719 --> 00:48:11,120
Speaker 1: coverage the before Mike and I began. I would say

919
00:48:11,160 --> 00:48:14,759
Speaker 1: this the first super Bowl that I remember where you

920
00:48:15,120 --> 00:48:21,200
Speaker 1: sensed a burgeoning of electronic media covering it was the

921
00:48:21,400 --> 00:48:25,520
Speaker 1: Dallas Buffalo super Bowl in the Rose Bowl and that

922
00:48:25,719 --> 00:48:32,920
Speaker 1: was in seventeen games seventeen that Super Bowl was the

923
00:48:33,040 --> 00:48:36,200
Speaker 1: first Super Bowl. They put Mike and I in a

924
00:48:36,920 --> 00:48:40,399
Speaker 1: conference room at a hotel and it was probably about

925
00:48:40,440 --> 00:48:43,560
Speaker 1: ten to twelve stations. That is the first one that

926
00:48:43,640 --> 00:48:46,239
Speaker 1: I remember, Wow, look at this, there's more stations than

927
00:48:46,360 --> 00:48:49,080
Speaker 1: just us coming to the game. Obviously, since it's becoming

928
00:48:49,160 --> 00:48:51,879
Speaker 1: it's look at it now, but that is the first

929
00:48:51,920 --> 00:48:55,279
Speaker 1: one where I sensed this is becoming a bigger deal.

930
00:48:55,600 --> 00:48:57,239
Speaker 1: And I think the thing that Mike and I did

931
00:48:57,719 --> 00:49:01,480
Speaker 1: is that we were the two man team. Before us,

932
00:49:01,560 --> 00:49:04,360
Speaker 1: it was only the one man sports talk show. It

933
00:49:04,560 --> 00:49:07,080
Speaker 1: was not the two Mike and I were the first

934
00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:11,360
Speaker 1: duo doing it day to day. And I think that

935
00:49:11,920 --> 00:49:13,759
Speaker 1: what what they can do it in New York put

936
00:49:13,840 --> 00:49:17,200
Speaker 1: two guys on in the afternoon sellabortising, why can't we

937
00:49:17,280 --> 00:49:20,080
Speaker 1: do it in Philly? In Boston and Kansas City, And

938
00:49:20,160 --> 00:49:24,800
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden the genre took off. That's

939
00:49:24,800 --> 00:49:30,440
Speaker 1: why I don't want to give us too much credit,

940
00:49:30,800 --> 00:49:34,879
Speaker 1: but years a long time ago. And then of course

941
00:49:35,120 --> 00:49:38,279
Speaker 1: the next year was huge for the New Yorkers because

942
00:49:38,320 --> 00:49:40,800
Speaker 1: that was the Giants Buffalo super Bowl, which was the

943
00:49:40,880 --> 00:49:44,480
Speaker 1: great game in my in Tampa at the Old Sombrero

944
00:49:44,600 --> 00:49:46,719
Speaker 1: And let me here's the Persian golf four and I

945
00:49:46,840 --> 00:49:49,200
Speaker 1: was the first Super Bowl with no turnovers and the

946
00:49:49,280 --> 00:49:52,719
Speaker 1: Giants one nineteen would Mr Field the famous I think

947
00:49:52,760 --> 00:49:55,400
Speaker 1: they had over forty minutes time of possessing. The Giants

948
00:49:55,480 --> 00:49:58,719
Speaker 1: forty minutes time possession, Buffalo had nineteen. Buffalo had the

949
00:49:58,760 --> 00:50:01,040
Speaker 1: ball late, they ran up on the last play they

950
00:50:01,080 --> 00:50:03,719
Speaker 1: got like an eight yard run, and then norwould Mr

951
00:50:03,840 --> 00:50:05,680
Speaker 1: forty eight yard field goal. That was a big one

952
00:50:05,719 --> 00:50:08,520
Speaker 1: for the New Yorker because that was Parcel's last and

953
00:50:08,600 --> 00:50:12,040
Speaker 1: everything else lt. But again, the first one that I

954
00:50:12,200 --> 00:50:15,200
Speaker 1: noticed everybody in the mix radio station where it began

955
00:50:15,239 --> 00:50:17,600
Speaker 1: to get a big deal, was that Buffalo Dallas one.

956
00:50:17,719 --> 00:50:20,399
Speaker 1: I gotta ask you, because you know, just sitting next

957
00:50:20,440 --> 00:50:22,600
Speaker 1: to you and hearing your voice. And I'm not trying

958
00:50:22,640 --> 00:50:25,120
Speaker 1: to be a total fanboy, but my dad and I

959
00:50:25,200 --> 00:50:28,279
Speaker 1: have great memories of just driving around listening to Mike

960
00:50:28,320 --> 00:50:30,080
Speaker 1: and the Mad Dog and listening to you. But especially

961
00:50:30,120 --> 00:50:33,480
Speaker 1: I remember Saturday mornings. If I'm not mistaken, you'd occasionally

962
00:50:34,239 --> 00:50:36,160
Speaker 1: allow they'd allow you to go on alone and sort

963
00:50:36,160 --> 00:50:39,160
Speaker 1: of wax poetic that I did about forty a year.

964
00:50:39,560 --> 00:50:41,560
Speaker 1: That was just like that for me, even you know,

965
00:50:41,600 --> 00:50:43,560
Speaker 1: in high school. I would just drive around town listening

966
00:50:43,560 --> 00:50:44,680
Speaker 1: to you do you have people that come up to

967
00:50:44,719 --> 00:50:46,680
Speaker 1: you and just say, oh my gosh, it's your voice

968
00:50:46,719 --> 00:50:50,360
Speaker 1: that they absolutely that that Saturday morning thing it was,

969
00:50:50,480 --> 00:50:53,239
Speaker 1: you know, Mike did the Sunday NFL and I did

970
00:50:53,280 --> 00:50:55,800
Speaker 1: the Saturday morning so f a An had each of

971
00:50:55,880 --> 00:50:58,719
Speaker 1: us work six days a week, so they had and

972
00:50:58,800 --> 00:51:00,880
Speaker 1: they separated the one day and weekends. But I did

973
00:51:00,960 --> 00:51:05,359
Speaker 1: that Saturday morning from basically until I left in two

974
00:51:05,440 --> 00:51:07,680
Speaker 1: thousand and eight. Did Saturday mornings for nineteen years. I

975
00:51:07,800 --> 00:51:10,080
Speaker 1: did not do it in the summertime. I would drive

976
00:51:10,160 --> 00:51:14,239
Speaker 1: into work, I would, you know, be Luke Goofier, I

977
00:51:14,400 --> 00:51:16,360
Speaker 1: scheme and yell, and you know, there wasn't always a

978
00:51:16,400 --> 00:51:18,200
Speaker 1: lot going on Friday night because there's not a lot

979
00:51:18,239 --> 00:51:21,320
Speaker 1: of sports on Fridnight. So I mean, at times it

980
00:51:21,440 --> 00:51:23,640
Speaker 1: was a little quiet. But I also had in October

981
00:51:23,840 --> 00:51:27,080
Speaker 1: Yankee games, how many Yankees could lose in postseason on

982
00:51:27,200 --> 00:51:29,080
Speaker 1: Friday nights, I'd be the first guy talking about it

983
00:51:29,120 --> 00:51:32,080
Speaker 1: on This Morning. So that became the anti Yankee thing

984
00:51:32,480 --> 00:51:34,960
Speaker 1: that I excreame. I did a big deal about elimination

985
00:51:35,080 --> 00:51:37,920
Speaker 1: Day because they hadn't got knocked out by the Angels

986
00:51:37,960 --> 00:51:39,640
Speaker 1: one year on a Friday night, I mean, I did

987
00:51:39,719 --> 00:51:42,480
Speaker 1: all sorts of wacky things and people got a kick

988
00:51:42,520 --> 00:51:45,840
Speaker 1: out of that. And Saturday morning, fathers taking their kids

989
00:51:46,400 --> 00:51:50,520
Speaker 1: to games errands and you know they got Russo Has

990
00:51:50,880 --> 00:51:56,360
Speaker 1: twenty exactly, and that began shows. Oh I love it

991
00:51:56,440 --> 00:51:58,800
Speaker 1: and have something different. You know, there's something different, and

992
00:51:58,920 --> 00:52:00,680
Speaker 1: I you know, I used to drive, been used, I

993
00:52:00,840 --> 00:52:03,960
Speaker 1: drove that, I drove. I used to live lead Connecticut.

994
00:52:04,120 --> 00:52:07,360
Speaker 1: You know, quarter nine, get a bagel, a couple of coffee,

995
00:52:08,480 --> 00:52:10,239
Speaker 1: and get on by two twenty in the afternoon. So

996
00:52:10,360 --> 00:52:12,000
Speaker 1: I love those shows, did it for a long time.

997
00:52:12,080 --> 00:52:14,040
Speaker 1: Now we understand the bounce in your step when you

998
00:52:14,080 --> 00:52:15,960
Speaker 1: can do things without the rest of your co host.

999
00:52:16,040 --> 00:52:18,160
Speaker 1: It just makes you like a little more excited. Yeah,

1000
00:52:18,200 --> 00:52:20,040
Speaker 1: I mean, i'd say, you know, you guys got to share.

1001
00:52:20,080 --> 00:52:22,000
Speaker 1: It's not easy to share four of you doing this,

1002
00:52:22,760 --> 00:52:24,320
Speaker 1: and you gotta you know, with Mike, I had to

1003
00:52:24,440 --> 00:52:26,400
Speaker 1: learn how to remember. Before I got with Mike. I

1004
00:52:26,520 --> 00:52:28,880
Speaker 1: did radio by myself, so I had to learn how

1005
00:52:28,920 --> 00:52:31,320
Speaker 1: to adapt with Mike for nineteen years. So there you go.

1006
00:52:31,520 --> 00:52:33,560
Speaker 1: And there's advantages with having a lot of guys on

1007
00:52:34,160 --> 00:52:36,799
Speaker 1: because you can talk amongst each other. I find when

1008
00:52:38,160 --> 00:52:40,319
Speaker 1: just take a show off, occasionally allow the three of them,

1009
00:52:41,760 --> 00:52:44,239
Speaker 1: let them take that, then take control for but let

1010
00:52:44,320 --> 00:52:47,160
Speaker 1: them have to be the be the engine that runs

1011
00:52:47,200 --> 00:52:49,359
Speaker 1: the show for a change. Not throughout your career, You've

1012
00:52:49,400 --> 00:52:52,120
Speaker 1: been genuine and you haven't played to the guy talk

1013
00:52:52,200 --> 00:52:54,439
Speaker 1: angle as much as you. I know that you really

1014
00:52:54,520 --> 00:52:57,279
Speaker 1: just like sports is. Has there ever been a tug

1015
00:52:57,360 --> 00:53:00,359
Speaker 1: and pull with this character? You might play a dog

1016
00:53:00,440 --> 00:53:02,080
Speaker 1: like sometimes you would play it up a little bit

1017
00:53:02,160 --> 00:53:04,480
Speaker 1: more other times. And oh, I I gave you a

1018
00:53:04,520 --> 00:53:07,120
Speaker 1: perfect example as the trivia. You know, we do a

1019
00:53:07,200 --> 00:53:09,840
Speaker 1: trivia contest any year and I just did it this

1020
00:53:09,960 --> 00:53:12,040
Speaker 1: past week. We give four chips away to the Super

1021
00:53:12,080 --> 00:53:15,520
Speaker 1: Bowl hotel tickets the whole nine yards, and I dressed

1022
00:53:15,560 --> 00:53:18,239
Speaker 1: up as this Marquis de Sad, which is what Mike

1023
00:53:18,400 --> 00:53:21,120
Speaker 1: gave me the nickname twenty five years ago. And they

1024
00:53:21,200 --> 00:53:25,600
Speaker 1: have to answer for questions, each one increasing difficulty, and

1025
00:53:25,719 --> 00:53:28,400
Speaker 1: it takes him forever to get the damn thing, you know,

1026
00:53:28,520 --> 00:53:31,160
Speaker 1: to get these questions right. And last week we did

1027
00:53:31,239 --> 00:53:34,719
Speaker 1: it and we didn't have three winners until Friday. I'd

1028
00:53:34,760 --> 00:53:37,120
Speaker 1: actually give clues away for the audio because we do

1029
00:53:37,200 --> 00:53:39,359
Speaker 1: an audio component with question four, so they can't look

1030
00:53:39,440 --> 00:53:42,279
Speaker 1: up the answer and it took them forever. So that

1031
00:53:42,480 --> 00:53:44,800
Speaker 1: is when I get a little out of character. Today

1032
00:53:44,880 --> 00:53:47,480
Speaker 1: is a perfect example. UM, and I enjoyed doing that

1033
00:53:47,640 --> 00:53:51,040
Speaker 1: and I we and I tell him, Michael Binko, I think,

1034
00:53:51,080 --> 00:53:53,480
Speaker 1: how does the Hollywood Squares show, you know, the Saturday

1035
00:53:53,560 --> 00:53:57,239
Speaker 1: night NBC. And he's the former, the executive producer if

1036
00:53:57,239 --> 00:54:00,400
Speaker 1: everybody wants to be a millionaire. He lives in l A,

1037
00:54:01,280 --> 00:54:05,480
Speaker 1: not a big sports fan, loves the freaking trivia all

1038
00:54:05,520 --> 00:54:07,000
Speaker 1: the time. This is the best thing I've ever heard

1039
00:54:07,040 --> 00:54:09,640
Speaker 1: on radio. So there's a different component to what you

1040
00:54:09,800 --> 00:54:12,280
Speaker 1: do on a week the basis, and it's a perfect example.

1041
00:54:12,320 --> 00:54:14,759
Speaker 1: You got change your role. I could I remember like

1042
00:54:14,920 --> 00:54:18,759
Speaker 1: shoveling my driveway and during super Bowl week and just

1043
00:54:18,880 --> 00:54:21,200
Speaker 1: listening to the trivia and you know the people that

1044
00:54:21,400 --> 00:54:24,200
Speaker 1: got you know to the third question, the fourth question

1045
00:54:24,760 --> 00:54:26,520
Speaker 1: after the first one. I feel like Michael is like,

1046
00:54:26,600 --> 00:54:30,080
Speaker 1: and we're off exactly going on, it's going, let's good bye,

1047
00:54:30,360 --> 00:54:32,239
Speaker 1: just like you only got five. I mean, here's a

1048
00:54:32,320 --> 00:54:34,120
Speaker 1: tough questions. I mean we had some of this passions

1049
00:54:34,120 --> 00:54:36,320
Speaker 1: and the internet came to and so that's why I

1050
00:54:36,400 --> 00:54:38,640
Speaker 1: get the audio. I mean, here's when we did this

1051
00:54:38,680 --> 00:54:40,560
Speaker 1: ship the two people off, especially the first part of

1052
00:54:40,560 --> 00:54:44,239
Speaker 1: the week. How many interceptions at Earl moral Foe as

1053
00:54:44,280 --> 00:54:48,279
Speaker 1: a forty point out. Now, you're not gonna get the

1054
00:54:48,320 --> 00:54:51,160
Speaker 1: components unless you look at it, unless there's our historians,

1055
00:54:52,280 --> 00:54:53,960
Speaker 1: and you're not gonna look. You're not gonna get that

1056
00:54:55,120 --> 00:54:57,200
Speaker 1: when you know the question. So this year we had

1057
00:54:57,239 --> 00:55:01,600
Speaker 1: a Niner component where he had a chief component. We

1058
00:55:01,760 --> 00:55:05,359
Speaker 1: had a city of Miami component, and so you had

1059
00:55:05,440 --> 00:55:09,279
Speaker 1: three different categories and are and and the angle that

1060
00:55:09,360 --> 00:55:13,400
Speaker 1: we used for the audio was super Bowls that the

1061
00:55:13,600 --> 00:55:17,560
Speaker 1: season began in one decade and the Super Bowl was

1062
00:55:17,680 --> 00:55:24,120
Speaker 1: in the next decade. Sov and those are the sound

1063
00:55:24,160 --> 00:55:26,560
Speaker 1: bites for us from teams who are on no Super Bowls.

1064
00:55:26,880 --> 00:55:30,160
Speaker 1: So that was fun. Broncons this game. What are your

1065
00:55:30,280 --> 00:55:33,279
Speaker 1: kind of overarching thoughts about it? I think everyone sees it.

1066
00:55:33,640 --> 00:55:35,759
Speaker 1: The desert sees it as a coin flip game. Do

1067
00:55:35,800 --> 00:55:38,359
Speaker 1: you see it the same way? Absolutely? Do. I think

1068
00:55:38,440 --> 00:55:42,600
Speaker 1: forty five million roster the Niners are better. Normally you

1069
00:55:42,680 --> 00:55:45,719
Speaker 1: would pick a team that has the better defense and

1070
00:55:45,920 --> 00:55:48,640
Speaker 1: runs the ball on San Francisco does both better than

1071
00:55:48,680 --> 00:55:51,200
Speaker 1: the Chiefs too, so you would go from that standpoint

1072
00:55:51,239 --> 00:55:54,040
Speaker 1: as well. Niners, I think from day one have been

1073
00:55:54,080 --> 00:55:56,439
Speaker 1: the best team in football. They were eight, no, whatever

1074
00:55:56,520 --> 00:55:59,160
Speaker 1: they were. They've had a very hard schedule, which they did.

1075
00:55:59,200 --> 00:56:01,160
Speaker 1: You know, they won a game in New Orleans. They

1076
00:56:01,200 --> 00:56:04,040
Speaker 1: won that last game in Seattle. So the Niners have

1077
00:56:04,239 --> 00:56:08,640
Speaker 1: had a longer, harder road I think to this game

1078
00:56:08,719 --> 00:56:11,040
Speaker 1: and the Chiefs had. So you can make a case

1079
00:56:11,160 --> 00:56:15,080
Speaker 1: easily for San Francisco. Better defense, kate, defensive line, uh,

1080
00:56:15,160 --> 00:56:17,080
Speaker 1: the things that you have for Kansas City. They have

1081
00:56:17,160 --> 00:56:19,719
Speaker 1: the best player. Mahomes is the best player on the field.

1082
00:56:20,200 --> 00:56:22,320
Speaker 1: I think if you like karma, which I like to

1083
00:56:22,520 --> 00:56:25,440
Speaker 1: look at karma, Chief's got plenty of it. Last game

1084
00:56:25,480 --> 00:56:28,360
Speaker 1: of the year Miami two minutes ago, wins in New England.

1085
00:56:28,640 --> 00:56:31,960
Speaker 1: Chiefs get to buy Next week Ravens, who have the

1086
00:56:32,040 --> 00:56:35,160
Speaker 1: tap seed, lose it home to Tennessee. The next day,

1087
00:56:35,360 --> 00:56:38,120
Speaker 1: Kansa City is down twenty four nothing, come from behind,

1088
00:56:38,200 --> 00:56:40,560
Speaker 1: win the game. Andy Reid is due to win a

1089
00:56:40,640 --> 00:56:44,759
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. They chair Tennessee. They come back fifty years

1090
00:56:44,800 --> 00:56:46,960
Speaker 1: ago they won their first I got Clark cut on

1091
00:56:47,040 --> 00:56:48,640
Speaker 1: today and make a big deal about that to him

1092
00:56:48,920 --> 00:56:51,839
Speaker 1: fifty years ago. Fifty years ago they won their first

1093
00:56:51,920 --> 00:56:54,520
Speaker 1: six seventy haven't won a Super Bowl since. So there's

1094
00:56:54,600 --> 00:56:57,680
Speaker 1: karma that says Chiefs. So I think gets a dead

1095
00:56:57,760 --> 00:57:01,200
Speaker 1: evening game. Um, I think first of thirty one will win.

1096
00:57:01,640 --> 00:57:05,720
Speaker 1: I'll probably lean Mahomes and I'll tell his static's interesting.

1097
00:57:05,760 --> 00:57:08,600
Speaker 1: Do you know that his quarterback rating when he's rushed

1098
00:57:08,640 --> 00:57:13,200
Speaker 1: within two and a half seconds is one, which for

1099
00:57:13,400 --> 00:57:18,200
Speaker 1: Nick the Niner pass rush because he can move around,

1100
00:57:18,240 --> 00:57:20,800
Speaker 1: he makes plays. So that would consume me if I'm

1101
00:57:20,800 --> 00:57:22,560
Speaker 1: a Niner fan and you're a historian. How about the

1102
00:57:22,600 --> 00:57:25,640
Speaker 1: karma of the Kansas City Chiefs fan in the city

1103
00:57:25,720 --> 00:57:28,560
Speaker 1: one of the great football towns. I think kind of

1104
00:57:28,600 --> 00:57:30,320
Speaker 1: gets over look. We talked a lot, a lot because

1105
00:57:30,320 --> 00:57:32,400
Speaker 1: this is the Jets fan and a Browns fan here

1106
00:57:32,400 --> 00:57:36,640
Speaker 1: about the most pained fan bases, and get a lot

1107
00:57:37,080 --> 00:57:38,800
Speaker 1: like there's a lot of forty year old tis fit

1108
00:57:38,880 --> 00:57:40,080
Speaker 1: that don't want to hear oh wow, we want a

1109
00:57:40,120 --> 00:57:42,560
Speaker 1: super bow. That's a very good point, and hunt Oways

1110
00:57:42,640 --> 00:57:44,680
Speaker 1: tells me the worst loss in the history of the

1111
00:57:44,720 --> 00:57:47,800
Speaker 1: Chiefs was the double overtime game in Miami on Christmas

1112
00:57:47,920 --> 00:57:52,160
Speaker 1: Day twenty four. That was the Dolphins lost Dallas and

1113
00:57:52,360 --> 00:57:55,160
Speaker 1: the in the following um a couple of weeks later.

1114
00:57:55,480 --> 00:57:59,160
Speaker 1: But the Chiefs, who had played Super Bowl one one

1115
00:57:59,240 --> 00:58:02,200
Speaker 1: Super Bowl War and then two years later had Miami

1116
00:58:02,560 --> 00:58:04,840
Speaker 1: had that game won center rude miss Kicks. I mean,

1117
00:58:04,880 --> 00:58:07,520
Speaker 1: they blew the game. And Hunters told me from day

1118
00:58:07,560 --> 00:58:10,320
Speaker 1: one that's the worst loss in the history of the Chiefs.

1119
00:58:10,920 --> 00:58:12,680
Speaker 1: And they lost in double over time. That's the famous

1120
00:58:12,760 --> 00:58:15,200
Speaker 1: Eddie potlat game where he had about two d and

1121
00:58:15,200 --> 00:58:19,120
Speaker 1: fifty yards of offense. He was on stif, he did everything.

1122
00:58:19,440 --> 00:58:22,480
Speaker 1: And then the next week Miami played Dallas and got

1123
00:58:22,600 --> 00:58:24,760
Speaker 1: killed by the Cowboys twenty four three. And I was

1124
00:58:24,840 --> 00:58:26,640
Speaker 1: the last game that Miami lost in a year and

1125
00:58:26,680 --> 00:58:29,160
Speaker 1: a half was the Dallas game, because they won the

1126
00:58:29,200 --> 00:58:31,400
Speaker 1: Super the next year undefeated in the year after that

1127
00:58:31,520 --> 00:58:34,000
Speaker 1: year eleven oh before the Raiders beat him. So, I mean,

1128
00:58:34,040 --> 00:58:37,440
Speaker 1: there's a lot of good history there, Chiefs. Chiefs are interesting.

1129
00:58:37,600 --> 00:58:39,880
Speaker 1: This is why Mad Dog is a legend. The man

1130
00:58:41,560 --> 00:58:44,360
Speaker 1: um Chris again, this was such an honor to be

1131
00:58:44,440 --> 00:58:46,520
Speaker 1: able to talk to you and we're gonna geek out,

1132
00:58:46,520 --> 00:58:48,720
Speaker 1: we're gonna hit you up for a photo, and everything happened.

1133
00:58:48,720 --> 00:58:51,040
Speaker 1: But let me give you one of the thing. You're fine. Interesting.

1134
00:58:52,240 --> 00:58:54,440
Speaker 1: I did a lot of Kobe Bryant this week on

1135
00:58:54,520 --> 00:58:58,240
Speaker 1: the radio. Got here Sunday's on the air. Monday, I

1143
00:59:26,560 --> 00:59:30,960
Speaker 1: Chemalijahan and Nolan Ryan at a Houston events when they

1144
00:59:31,040 --> 00:59:36,800
Speaker 1: got the news about about Kobe and he called waited

1145
00:59:36,880 --> 00:59:39,760
Speaker 1: twenty five minutes on hold just to get his take

1146
00:59:39,840 --> 00:59:42,040
Speaker 1: on Kobe. I picked up on who it was within

1147
00:59:42,080 --> 00:59:44,640
Speaker 1: about a minute, and he called me doggy throughout the

1148
00:59:44,640 --> 00:59:47,880
Speaker 1: whole thing, so you knew he was a listener. And

1149
00:59:47,960 --> 00:59:52,800
Speaker 1: we put it on a website because it's genuine role

1150
00:59:52,920 --> 00:59:55,640
Speaker 1: Campbell wanted to call about Kobe and did not use

1151
00:59:55,760 --> 00:59:58,200
Speaker 1: his name. Ham Campbell, get me on no, no, no,

1152
00:59:58,520 --> 01:00:02,800
Speaker 1: I wanted to be a caller. Is that amazing and

1153
01:00:02,880 --> 01:00:04,480
Speaker 1: it's the guy was a top ten running back. Just

1154
01:00:04,560 --> 01:00:06,880
Speaker 1: let us you know when he was named an I

1155
01:00:06,920 --> 01:00:11,200
Speaker 1: wanted to tell you that, and you say they were genuine, genuine.

1156
01:00:11,280 --> 01:00:13,240
Speaker 1: You've always been genuine on the air, and we strive

1157
01:00:13,320 --> 01:00:15,360
Speaker 1: to do the same thing. So thank you for great

1158
01:00:15,760 --> 01:00:20,720
Speaker 1: Keep up the good works too, Dominator where the fanboy

1159
01:00:21,080 --> 01:00:24,919
Speaker 1: Chris Russo, thank you very much. Thank you. That was fun. Mark.

1160
01:00:25,000 --> 01:00:28,160
Speaker 1: I like also how mad Dog was. He was very

1161
01:00:28,240 --> 01:00:29,880
Speaker 1: physical with you, a lot of pats on the back

1162
01:00:29,880 --> 01:00:32,920
Speaker 1: of a couple of knee shots. I has a good job,

1163
01:00:33,440 --> 01:00:37,000
Speaker 1: very close to even during the many of our owner's meetings,

1164
01:00:37,040 --> 01:00:38,960
Speaker 1: I played the role and I don't know why you

1165
01:00:39,040 --> 01:00:40,960
Speaker 1: guys would want me to be in this position where

1166
01:00:40,960 --> 01:00:43,640
Speaker 1: I'm like a foot away from said coach or in

1167
01:00:43,720 --> 01:00:45,640
Speaker 1: this case, mad Dog, and I was just sort of

1168
01:00:45,720 --> 01:00:48,880
Speaker 1: staring into his eyes for like the entire interview. But

1169
01:00:49,200 --> 01:00:53,080
Speaker 1: hearing the voice from our childhood was just too bizarre

1170
01:00:53,120 --> 01:00:54,840
Speaker 1: for me to overcome. I was kind of frozen. It

1171
01:00:54,920 --> 01:00:56,760
Speaker 1: was a little bit of a little moment. There was

1172
01:00:56,840 --> 01:01:00,120
Speaker 1: a little bit um. There was definitely a fan boy thing.

1173
01:01:00,200 --> 01:01:02,720
Speaker 1: I also, and this happens all the time when you

1174
01:01:02,840 --> 01:01:05,960
Speaker 1: talk to a celebrity or see a celebrity, I end

1175
01:01:06,040 --> 01:01:08,280
Speaker 1: up like just locking it on their teeth and it's

1176
01:01:08,280 --> 01:01:11,200
Speaker 1: just like, wow, those are expensive teeth. It says he

1177
01:01:11,240 --> 01:01:14,520
Speaker 1: has famous person great pain does. Yeah, So I mean

1178
01:01:14,600 --> 01:01:18,640
Speaker 1: that was I was quite an honor, Greg, Were you impressed?

1179
01:01:18,840 --> 01:01:22,000
Speaker 1: I love Chris Russ, So I have my own history.

1180
01:01:22,120 --> 01:01:23,880
Speaker 1: I used to keep Mike and the Mad Dug on,

1181
01:01:24,000 --> 01:01:27,160
Speaker 1: especially that two thousand three, two thousand four Red Sox

1182
01:01:27,320 --> 01:01:30,800
Speaker 1: Yankees season, while I'm pumping out my Road to World blurbs.

1183
01:01:31,320 --> 01:01:34,720
Speaker 1: I like, one of my favorite viewing experiences of all

1184
01:01:34,800 --> 01:01:38,160
Speaker 1: time is the day after Game seven of Red Sox

1185
01:01:38,320 --> 01:01:40,480
Speaker 1: Yankees Waiting for Matt, Mike and the Bad Thing, and

1186
01:01:40,520 --> 01:01:42,440
Speaker 1: I watched it on Yes Network. It wasn't even on

1187
01:01:42,480 --> 01:01:43,880
Speaker 1: the radio. I just would have it on while I

1188
01:01:43,920 --> 01:01:46,480
Speaker 1: was doing my Road to World blurbs. And the glee

1189
01:01:46,640 --> 01:01:50,040
Speaker 1: that he had pounding for Incess and pounding the Yankees

1190
01:01:50,320 --> 01:01:52,240
Speaker 1: the day after that was awesome. And I listened to

1191
01:01:52,320 --> 01:01:54,080
Speaker 1: them all the time driving up to Road Word, which

1192
01:01:54,080 --> 01:01:56,200
Speaker 1: is about an hour away, so I had to experience

1193
01:01:56,280 --> 01:02:01,880
Speaker 1: the listeners. Listeners might be interested to know, certainly elements

1194
01:02:02,080 --> 01:02:04,760
Speaker 1: of shows that grew up listening to will make it

1195
01:02:04,840 --> 01:02:08,920
Speaker 1: into this show. So when we play the miss of music,

1196
01:02:09,320 --> 01:02:12,360
Speaker 1: when an owner or somebody makes a statement that's lifted

1197
01:02:12,400 --> 01:02:15,040
Speaker 1: directly from Mike and the Mad Dog George Steinbrenner, in fact,

1198
01:02:15,080 --> 01:02:19,160
Speaker 1: the very show you're talking about. After like crushing Yankees losses, Steinbrenner,

1199
01:02:19,240 --> 01:02:22,840
Speaker 1: the former owner of the Yankees, would release a statement

1200
01:02:23,320 --> 01:02:26,440
Speaker 1: and then they play the general patent music. So that

1201
01:02:26,600 --> 01:02:31,520
Speaker 1: is not that is a homage. And um, the one

1202
01:02:31,560 --> 01:02:35,240
Speaker 1: thing I was impressed by. It's not that I don't

1203
01:02:35,240 --> 01:02:37,160
Speaker 1: think it's that impressive to be able to have instant

1204
01:02:37,200 --> 01:02:40,720
Speaker 1: recall of every stat and every happening in sports, but

1205
01:02:40,880 --> 01:02:44,000
Speaker 1: the ability the ability to not only recall, but put

1206
01:02:44,040 --> 01:02:46,840
Speaker 1: it in perspective and tell a story and make it

1207
01:02:46,960 --> 01:02:49,480
Speaker 1: relevant to other people. And that's what this guy's been

1208
01:02:49,520 --> 01:02:52,120
Speaker 1: doing for what a hundred thousand hours. Of whatever he's

1209
01:02:52,120 --> 01:02:54,200
Speaker 1: done in his life, you can spin those yarns. I also,

1210
01:02:54,360 --> 01:02:57,840
Speaker 1: I'm impressed with anyone that's been covering sports for as

1211
01:02:57,920 --> 01:03:00,880
Speaker 1: long as he has, where I don't get an aura

1212
01:03:00,960 --> 01:03:03,720
Speaker 1: of cynicism from him. He seems to truly love sports.

1213
01:03:03,800 --> 01:03:05,840
Speaker 1: I know I struggle with that sometimes too, just like

1214
01:03:06,200 --> 01:03:12,000
Speaker 1: not appreciating how lucky we are sports writers are among

1215
01:03:12,080 --> 01:03:15,040
Speaker 1: the most cynical people you'll ever meet. Um, all right,

1216
01:03:15,120 --> 01:03:16,920
Speaker 1: that was that was a real treat for us. Okay,

1217
01:03:17,480 --> 01:03:20,920
Speaker 1: before we go, before we spin forward and yes, and

1218
01:03:21,040 --> 01:03:22,800
Speaker 1: the next time you hear from us, we're doing our

1219
01:03:22,880 --> 01:03:26,520
Speaker 1: live show tonight from Miami Improv. I will have our

1220
01:03:26,520 --> 01:03:28,320

1221
01:03:28,400 --> 01:03:30,240
Speaker 1: we're looking forward to that. But the next time you

01:03:30,440 --> 01:03:34,160
Speaker 1: hear the podcast is Sunday night from hard Rock Stadium.

1223
01:03:34,200 --> 01:03:39,200
Speaker 1: Immediately after the game, we will recap this amazing matchup

1224
01:03:39,320 --> 01:03:42,120
Speaker 1: between the Chiefs and Niners. But before we sign off,

1225
01:03:42,520 --> 01:03:46,520
Speaker 1: let us pick the game. It is time, uh, Mark,

1226
01:03:46,720 --> 01:03:50,720
Speaker 1: get us gone. I've had a strong faith and belief

1227
01:03:50,760 --> 01:03:55,080
Speaker 1: in the Niners through this whole playoff process, and my

1228
01:03:55,160 --> 01:03:57,120
Speaker 1: wife is a Niners fan. I'm not taking them for

1229
01:03:57,200 --> 01:03:59,640
Speaker 1: that reason alone. But down Greg, you know, we don't

1230
01:03:59,680 --> 01:04:02,560
Speaker 1: need any Simone. You know, Simone made it very clear

1231
01:04:02,640 --> 01:04:05,920
Speaker 1: on Twitter she was not offended by my comments at all.

1232
01:04:06,280 --> 01:04:08,200
Speaker 1: I read it as she was. She appreciated that. I

1233
01:04:08,240 --> 01:04:10,040
Speaker 1: think maybe even I think she was showing a sign

1234
01:04:10,080 --> 01:04:12,800
Speaker 1: of grace and she was like, I want to she

1235
01:04:12,880 --> 01:04:17,840
Speaker 1: will be here tomorrow, So you can you can you

1236
01:04:17,960 --> 01:04:21,240
Speaker 1: know she she she married a man of passion. She

1237
01:04:21,360 --> 01:04:23,439
Speaker 1: knows that that is true. That is true. I'm gonna

1238
01:04:23,440 --> 01:04:33,000
Speaker 1: pick her Niners seven so they light up the defense, alright.

1239
01:04:34,720 --> 01:04:39,320
Speaker 1: I also am picking the forty Niners. I've got thirty three.

1240
01:04:40,480 --> 01:04:43,480
Speaker 1: I love it. I have gone back and forth even

1241
01:04:43,600 --> 01:04:45,920
Speaker 1: during this past hour of conversation, but I am going

1242
01:04:46,000 --> 01:04:48,200
Speaker 1: to stay with it. Obviously I have. Patrick Mahomes is

1243
01:04:48,320 --> 01:04:51,520
Speaker 1: my pick for m v P, and I will pick

1244
01:04:51,640 --> 01:04:54,680
Speaker 1: the Chiefs for that reason, for the greatness of Mahomes

1245
01:04:55,000 --> 01:04:58,160
Speaker 1: rising up in this spot of all spots, the Super Bowl.

1246
01:04:58,520 --> 01:05:02,960
Speaker 1: So let's go thirty five thirty one in an all timers.

1247
01:05:04,160 --> 01:05:09,240
Speaker 1: I I spent the like week and a half expecting

1248
01:05:09,680 --> 01:05:11,600
Speaker 1: to pick the Chiefs because that that is what I

1249
01:05:11,640 --> 01:05:14,400
Speaker 1: want to happen. I'm rooting for Patrick Mahomes. I love

1250
01:05:14,440 --> 01:05:17,520
Speaker 1: watching and play. I love that story, I love Andy Reid.

1251
01:05:17,960 --> 01:05:20,520
Speaker 1: I want them to win. But I had to look

1252
01:05:20,560 --> 01:05:22,040
Speaker 1: in the mirror, like by the time I got to

1253
01:05:22,200 --> 01:05:24,760
Speaker 1: yesterday afternoon, I didn't really believe it. Yeah, like I

1254
01:05:24,960 --> 01:05:29,080
Speaker 1: I do. Just if you play this game out, you

1255
01:05:29,160 --> 01:05:31,920
Speaker 1: know a hundred times, I just see so many more

1256
01:05:32,040 --> 01:05:34,400
Speaker 1: routes for the forty Niners to win in a in

1257
01:05:34,480 --> 01:05:36,000
Speaker 1: a tight spot at the end of the game. I

1258
01:05:36,040 --> 01:05:39,760
Speaker 1: trust Kyle Shanty and a little more. I just one

1259
01:05:39,880 --> 01:05:43,360
Speaker 1: to fifty three. Their roster. The forty Niners is so

1260
01:05:43,600 --> 01:05:46,080
Speaker 1: good that even though I am gonna be hoping that

1261
01:05:46,160 --> 01:05:48,920
Speaker 1: you get a hero pick and even get your sandwiches ultimate,

1262
01:05:48,960 --> 01:05:51,520
Speaker 1: because I really do have an affection and I like

1263
01:05:51,680 --> 01:05:53,760
Speaker 1: this Chief Tea, I do think the forty Niners are better.

1264
01:05:53,800 --> 01:05:56,960
Speaker 1: So it wouldn't have been honest, uh to pick the Chiefs.

1265
01:05:57,280 --> 01:05:58,840
Speaker 1: Not that I not that any of us have any

1266
01:05:58,880 --> 01:06:01,520
Speaker 1: idea what the hell is gonna happened. I am taking

1267
01:06:01,560 --> 01:06:05,320
Speaker 1: the forty Niners to win this game. The rare Super

1268
01:06:05,360 --> 01:06:10,120
Speaker 1: Bowl hero pick. I know. I struggled with it because

1269
01:06:10,120 --> 01:06:12,320
Speaker 1: I I usually just just pick what you want to happen,

1270
01:06:12,360 --> 01:06:13,800
Speaker 1: and I do really like them, but I don't I

1271
01:06:13,920 --> 01:06:15,480
Speaker 1: don't buy it. I don't buy it. It's like you

1272
01:06:15,560 --> 01:06:18,120
Speaker 1: really let Patrick Mahomes down here. I kind of feel

1273
01:06:18,200 --> 01:06:21,200
Speaker 1: like it. I kind of feel like I'm still rooting

1274
01:06:21,240 --> 01:06:23,360
Speaker 1: for him. I'm still rooting for him. It would have

1275
01:06:23,400 --> 01:06:25,320
Speaker 1: been weird if we went across the board, because this

1276
01:06:25,440 --> 01:06:27,120
Speaker 1: does feel like a game that's gonna be close and

1277
01:06:27,160 --> 01:06:29,280
Speaker 1: back and forth, and hopefully it plays out that way.

1278
01:06:29,360 --> 01:06:31,240
Speaker 1: The Patriots ruined the Super Bowl last year with a

1279
01:06:31,280 --> 01:06:33,680
Speaker 1: boring game, so hopefully we can bring it back to

1280
01:06:35,000 --> 01:06:36,880
Speaker 1: we've had. We've had a super Bowl Hero pick. I

1281
01:06:37,040 --> 01:06:40,880
Speaker 1: remember it. Ravens forty Niners and I got the score right.

1282
01:06:42,200 --> 01:06:45,040
Speaker 1: Believe I had Bronchos over Panthers as a hero pack

1283
01:06:45,080 --> 01:06:48,160
Speaker 1: too personal. What happens all the time, and this year

1284
01:06:48,200 --> 01:06:50,320
Speaker 1: it is my turn to win a hero pick. All right,
