You'd out of New 17 00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:15,880 Speaker 1: Orleans yesterday, Sean fate and announced you stepping down after 18 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:19,280 Speaker 1: fifteen seasons. Here's just a small portion of it was 19 00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:25,319 Speaker 1: a very thoughtful, lengthy press conference yesterday. We get sold 20 00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:28,760 Speaker 1: this whole image of retirement by these investment groups on 21 00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:33,680 Speaker 1: TV and golf courses and retirement, and so I still 22 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:37,240 Speaker 1: have a vision for doing things in football, and I'll 23 00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:40,000 Speaker 1: be honest with you, that might be coaching again at 24 00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:41,920 Speaker 1: some point. I don't think it's this year. I think 25 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 1: maybe in the future. But that's not where my heart 26 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:46,960 Speaker 1: is right now. It's not at all. It was a 27 00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:51,920 Speaker 1: personal decision of feeling like, you know, it's time. So 28 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 1: it's sometimes hard to but not with any regret. There's 29 00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 1: some excitement like, all right, what next, And I honestly 30 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 1: don't know what's next, which is kind of exciting. That's 31 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,760 Speaker 1: Sean Payton there. Saints owner Gayle Benson issued the following 32 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 1: statement on behalf of our entire organization. I have the 33 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 1: highest appreciation for what Sean Payton has meant to the 34 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,840 Speaker 1: New Orleans Saints since two thousand and six. Sean came 35 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 1: to New Orleans during what was a difficult time for 36 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:21,000 Speaker 1: our organization as well as the entire Gulf South region 37 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:25,200 Speaker 1: following Hurricane Katrina. Under his leadership, Sean helped lead this 38 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 1: football team to New Heights with easily its most successful period, 39 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:31,960 Speaker 1: showing what could be accomplished with a combination of vision, 40 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,480 Speaker 1: hard work, leadership of his coaching staff and players. We 41 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,720 Speaker 1: are grateful for everything Sean has given to this organization 42 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 1: in this city, and I give my best wishes to 43 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 1: he and his lovely wife sky Lean in the future. 44 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,080 Speaker 1: All right, let's dig into it here. Mike can start 45 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,280 Speaker 1: with you. What do you think led to this decision 46 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,080 Speaker 1: by Sean Payton? And do the Saints have candidates in 47 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,800 Speaker 1: mind for coke? Yeah? It was a lengthy press conference, 48 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:57,920 Speaker 1: k an hour and a half, and I think it 49 00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 1: boils down to that bite that we just saw here, 50 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,079 Speaker 1: which was it's time. Just it's time. I mean, he's 51 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,120 Speaker 1: been at it for a long It's been quite the 52 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:09,800 Speaker 1: eventful sixteen years for Sean Payton in New Orleans. In fact, 53 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 1: some of it could actually make for a a halfway 54 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,520 Speaker 1: decent movie. Maybe. I remember going on a tour of 55 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,440 Speaker 1: the facility with Steve Smith. We were down there for 56 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 1: training camp a couple of years ago, and Sean Payton 57 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,200 Speaker 1: took us through it and he every last little detail 58 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:26,680 Speaker 1: of the building was under his control. Basically, I want 59 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 1: this here, I want this here, and I think on 60 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:30,560 Speaker 1: top of this, you got to actually coach the team. 61 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,399 Speaker 1: So sometimes it just wears on you. You know. Drew 62 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 1: Brees steps aside. It's not like they coordinated. Hey, we'll 63 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,160 Speaker 1: leave at the same time. And so Sean Payton comes 64 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,240 Speaker 1: to training camp and says, I felt at that point 65 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:43,120 Speaker 1: like maybe it was time. Didn't tell anybody, kept working. 66 00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 1: Says it didn't affect the season, did everything he needed 67 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 1: to do, but felt it coming into the season. So 68 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 1: after a long season, you really step aside. You take 69 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 1: the time and you go, you know what, it's time here. 70 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 1: So he said he wants to travel, wants to spend 71 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 1: more time with his kids, wants to get in shape. 72 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 1: Maybe because he saw who they picked to play him 73 00:03:57,840 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 1: in that movie there, says he would like to do. 74 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 1: Oh it didn't look like him blow anyway. He said 75 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:06,600 Speaker 1: he would like to do TV. Claims he's had no 76 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 1: conversations with network. Good at it. He would be pretty 77 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 1: good at it. Maybe he'll do some commercials for investment groups. 78 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 1: You know, talking about retirement. There's another one. But maybe 79 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,279 Speaker 1: sometime in the future he will coach again. I believe 80 00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:20,600 Speaker 1: he is going to be this next decade. Maybe it 81 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,360 Speaker 1: won't take a decade, but this next decade John Gruden, 82 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 1: which remember the last decade, is like, is this the year? 83 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:26,839 Speaker 1: Is this the year? Is this the year? We couldn't 84 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:30,039 Speaker 1: see a little bit of that. Any candidates any Yeah? 85 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,560 Speaker 1: I mean in house you got Dennis Allen, the defensive coordinator, 86 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:34,600 Speaker 1: shocked that he hasn't gotten a second chance yet. Maybe 87 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:36,880 Speaker 1: he will get one year. Aaron Glenn, who left to 88 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 1: go become the defensive coordinator with Detroit, surely to get 89 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 1: an interview Pete Carmichael, the offensive coordinator. I hear people 90 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:43,920 Speaker 1: all the time say, you guys have no idea what 91 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 1: he means in the building. Well, that's because we think 92 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:47,800 Speaker 1: it's all Sean Payton. In a lot of ways it is. 93 00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 1: But Carmichael supposedly a good candidate. We'll see if he 94 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 1: gets I'd like to see Dennis Allen get a shot 95 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 1: at that gig. We'll see how it shakes out in 96 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,719 Speaker 1: New Orleans. What's your reaction, Chris to hearing that Sean 97 00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 1: Payne stepping down, Well, for one, I'm not that surprised. 98 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:01,920 Speaker 1: Over last couple of years, you know, I've been fortunate 99 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 1: enough to build cover Sean throughout his career there in 100 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:09,320 Speaker 1: New Orleans. And he's a brilliant, brilliant football mind, energy, contagious, 101 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:14,640 Speaker 1: dynamic leader. And we have thirty two NFL teams, and 102 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,039 Speaker 1: I tell people all the time, it's hard to have 103 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 1: thirty two NFL coaches. But this dude right here now, 104 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 1: he's a man's man, a coaches coach like, organizational structure, 105 00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:28,799 Speaker 1: creativity as far as putting his players in the best 106 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,480 Speaker 1: position so they can be said, he does what Belichick 107 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,440 Speaker 1: does and Saving does. But on the offensive side. It's 108 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:37,240 Speaker 1: very very rare that you ever see that. Typically when 109 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:40,559 Speaker 1: you see that demanding personality, it's on the defensive side. 110 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:42,840 Speaker 1: But Sean has been able to do it. He's got 111 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:46,159 Speaker 1: a lot of respect around the league. But all that truth, 112 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 1: there were some falsehoods as far as that press conference 113 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,520 Speaker 1: one he got. I haven't talked to anyone when I 114 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 1: retire from the Vikings. The day before, I had already 115 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 1: signed a deal with HBO and they had already given 116 00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,480 Speaker 1: me three years, a couple of million dollars guaranteed. I 117 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:01,240 Speaker 1: was still on the Vikings. And next day, you know 118 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,719 Speaker 1: what we did, We had a press conference. Chris Carter's 119 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:05,560 Speaker 1: career is over. With what are you gonna do. I'm 120 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:08,159 Speaker 1: gonna go home, spend time with the kids. I'm gonna 121 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,720 Speaker 1: travel a little bit. And by the way, so I 122 00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 1: do believe he already has a gig worked out. I 123 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,360 Speaker 1: do believe he'll resurface. And yeah, I believe he's already 124 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,960 Speaker 1: got a deal worked out someone that covers the NFC. 125 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,680 Speaker 1: And I believe he'll be coaching in Texas somewhere in 126 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,039 Speaker 1: the next twenty four months today, the next two years, 127 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 1: it will be the Cowboys head coach is in Texas. 128 00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:29,719 Speaker 1: Ye are they there? Are they still there? They are? Still? Yeah? Okay, yes, yes, 129 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:33,520 Speaker 1: all right, that'll be fun to track Chris. I think 130 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,240 Speaker 1: my reaction to yesterday is this retirement, if you want 131 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:37,520 Speaker 1: to call it. That is a lot like his offense. 132 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:39,159 Speaker 1: It is all based on perfect timing. This is the 133 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,280 Speaker 1: time to do it. There's a lot of work, a 134 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 1: lot of work to be done for shun paid run. 135 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:45,040 Speaker 1: I like a lot you got you know, no quarterback. 136 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:49,000 Speaker 1: The cap situation is rough. All these high paid guys 137 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,160 Speaker 1: and Kamara and Jordan and Thomas and Latimore and ram 138 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,159 Speaker 1: Chick and to Mario like, there's gonna be major changes 139 00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:54,800 Speaker 1: to be made so if he's sitting here going, oh 140 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:56,240 Speaker 1: my god, I think this might be the time. And 141 00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 1: then the little siesta, a little meat time. And I 142 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 1: thought something he said yesterday was really moving where he said. 143 00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:02,559 Speaker 1: He drives into the stadium and he sees the fans 144 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,200 Speaker 1: tailgating and they're having more fun than I am. And 145 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 1: I'm the head coach driving in and the Super Bowl winner, 146 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:09,840 Speaker 1: and I'm like, okay, get out of there, get away. 147 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:11,960 Speaker 1: If Drew Brees is still there and it's five years ago, 148 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:13,520 Speaker 1: I don't think he's walking away right now. His job 149 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:15,440 Speaker 1: was really hard, right, I'll get the hell out of there. 150 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 1: But I also took a time to look back at 151 00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 1: the Sean Payton deal. It cannot be under remembered that 152 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 1: this maniac decided, in a game he was losing to 153 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,160 Speaker 1: Peyton Manning to do an onside kick in the Super Bowl, 154 00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 1: and we'll go down as the biggest wheelbarrow moment maybe 155 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 1: in coaching history. There we go look through this through 156 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:34,360 Speaker 1: the lens of now, all these crazy young coaches going 157 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,960 Speaker 1: forward on fourth down going for two points. This was 158 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:40,520 Speaker 1: not the happening. Then this was considered bat bleep insane. 159 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:42,760 Speaker 1: If this gets kicked out of bounds or the Colts 160 00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 1: recover of Peyton Manning two touchdowns, Bamp, It's gone. He 161 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,560 Speaker 1: looks like a fool. The idea that he like, is 162 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:50,600 Speaker 1: Zach Taylor gonna do that against the Chiefs this weekend? 163 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:52,400 Speaker 1: Is he gonna open up with an onside kick in 164 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:55,880 Speaker 1: the second half? All the way? Yeah, he doesn't need it. 165 00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,040 Speaker 1: The fact that he did that and had the stones 166 00:07:58,160 --> 00:07:59,880 Speaker 1: and the onions and at all to do that in 167 00:07:59,920 --> 00:08:01,920 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl and that resulted in that, I'll never 168 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 1: forget it. I'll never stop perspecting it. He's aggressive, he's 169 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:10,200 Speaker 1: a hothead. I find him to be a real reactionary 170 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:13,440 Speaker 1: when he's out there calling plays, and he's demonstrative. So 171 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:15,920 Speaker 1: I was very interested in the body language of the 172 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 1: press conference because it's like, are you just making a 173 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 1: knee jerk reaction? This season was so hard. It was 174 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:22,600 Speaker 1: hard on a lot of people, particularly for this team 175 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:24,200 Speaker 1: and what he did with them, and the way they'll 176 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:28,120 Speaker 1: watched the wack they had to play that game, what 177 00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:30,720 Speaker 1: went on with Michael Thomas, the fact that you know, 178 00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:34,040 Speaker 1: four different starting quarterbacks. So in my head, I was like, 179 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,880 Speaker 1: all right, maybe this is just I'm exhausted. I need 180 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:38,480 Speaker 1: to take a nap and then I'll come back. But 181 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:41,040 Speaker 1: it was so thoughtful for the whole hour and thirty minutes, 182 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:43,440 Speaker 1: and you can just tell it his time, and it's 183 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:45,680 Speaker 1: okay to want to change of seniory, whether because it's 184 00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:48,079 Speaker 1: not working or you're just burnt out. I do want 185 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:51,280 Speaker 1: to just quickly put into perspective what he did to 186 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:53,720 Speaker 1: that team from before it was what it was. I 187 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:55,760 Speaker 1: don't know. I didn't ever paid attention. I grew a 188 00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:57,600 Speaker 1: bunch of I didn't pay attention to the New Orleans 189 00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:00,719 Speaker 1: Saints before Champagne got there. I just didn'teen sixty seven 190 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:02,319 Speaker 1: and two thousand and five, they had two hundred and 191 00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,560 Speaker 1: thirty seven wins that ranked twenty six dead last among 192 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:07,560 Speaker 1: teams that were in the league that whole time of 193 00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,240 Speaker 1: the franchises that played at least one hundred games over 194 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 1: that span. They're winning percentage drink thirty. Only the Buckstors, 195 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:16,199 Speaker 1: they were awful. They were awful. And then two thousand 196 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,320 Speaker 1: and six to present one hundred and fifty nine wins, 197 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:21,640 Speaker 1: fourth most behind the Packers, Patriots and Steelers, the fourth 198 00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:25,360 Speaker 1: highest winning percentage. They had nine playoff appearances in those 199 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:28,280 Speaker 1: sixteen years and a Super Bowl and the fact that 200 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 1: they had a winning record after what went on this year. 201 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:35,080 Speaker 1: Incredible coach, and I'm hoping he comes back almost too 202 00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:38,040 Speaker 1: good because they're not putting themselves if they were terrible, 203 00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 1: Hey we got a top three pick. We can maybe 204 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:43,080 Speaker 1: get a quarterback. No, they're too good. He's too good 205 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,800 Speaker 1: of a coach, right, he can't get himself into that situation. 206 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:47,679 Speaker 1: I'm also glad that Chris is here because he can 207 00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:50,360 Speaker 1: say things like he's definitely got a deal lined up 208 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 1: and he's definitely gonna be coaching the Cowboys in the 209 00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:54,760 Speaker 1: next one. Because if I do it, then it's a report, right, 210 00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:56,880 Speaker 1: So I'm glad that you can support on my report. 211 00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,080 Speaker 1: I would say, does he have a deal lined up? 212 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,200 Speaker 1: I have no idea, But does he know that there's 213 00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:04,199 Speaker 1: broadcast interest in him? Of course he knows it. That's 214 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:07,199 Speaker 1: what I wants a deal. But I heard that I 215 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,840 Speaker 1: was supposed to be going in the TV. I called 216 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:14,480 Speaker 1: my agent and said, don if you heard this, okay, 217 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:17,319 Speaker 1: but then says, boy, I'd love to do TV. So 218 00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:19,040 Speaker 1: you know he knows what he's doing. Yet I just 219 00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:21,160 Speaker 1: like that he's getting wined and dined. Get him on 220 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:23,160 Speaker 1: the jet, get him over there, give him the royal 221 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,280 Speaker 1: treatment right, wind him in Dynham. It's the best time 222 00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:27,520 Speaker 1: ever to do it too. If you've seen these media 223 00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:29,280 Speaker 1: out lets, they're coming out of the walls right now. 224 00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:31,800 Speaker 1: So Sean Payton, yes, go have the rock shrimp and 225 00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:33,719 Speaker 1: the Martinis or whatever you're in to do the tour. 226 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:36,160 Speaker 1: I man agree, all right, Mike, We have more news. 227 00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:38,640 Speaker 1: A general manager front.

It's taken a while, right, It's 230 00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:44,960 Speaker 1: been a little bit of a slower hiring process than 231 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,760 Speaker 1: we're used to. But the Bears hiring their next general manager. 232 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:51,400 Speaker 1: It is Ryan Paul's, the Kansas City Chiefs executive informer 233 00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:54,880 Speaker 1: Bears undrafted free agent. That's a cool story him coming 234 00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:57,360 Speaker 1: back and being the general manager there. As they now 235 00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:01,360 Speaker 1: look toward hiring a coach, Dan Quinn in Matt Eberflus 236 00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:04,120 Speaker 1: Jim Caldwell, we mentioned that those are the finalists. A 237 00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:06,240 Speaker 1: lot of buzz that Quinn's gonna wind up being the guy, 238 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:08,800 Speaker 1: but we shall see now. Paul's was expected to be 239 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,400 Speaker 1: a final was a finalist in Minnesota was expected the 240 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:14,920 Speaker 1: interview for the Vikings general manager job. He and Quasi 241 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:19,439 Speaker 1: Adopo Menza, the executive from the Browns where the finalist 242 00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:21,760 Speaker 1: do the meth that leaves one finalist. So we are 243 00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:25,520 Speaker 1: expecting it's going to be Quasi Adolpho Menza in Minnesota 244 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,319 Speaker 1: as they will then look to hire their head coach. 245 00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:30,719 Speaker 1: We shall see who it is. Damiko Ryans. He was 246 00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:33,120 Speaker 1: with him a Dopa Mensa in San Francisco. Perhaps it 247 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:35,240 Speaker 1: will be here. You can treat the show at GMFE 248 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:40,240 Speaker 1: time for a little whiteboard ones day Conference Championship Browns 249 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:44,040 Speaker 1: upon us. The biggest question you have headed into this weekend, 250 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:46,800 Speaker 1: Mike g is what was your biggest question. Casey's answer 251 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:49,640 Speaker 1: for Jamar Chase, somebody had two hundred and sixty six 252 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:52,400 Speaker 1: yards of receiving that day, the last time these guys played, 253 00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:54,360 Speaker 1: and he wasn't wearing red. It was Jamar Chase doing 254 00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:56,880 Speaker 1: a little bit of everything. And on that Casey defense, 255 00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,240 Speaker 1: there was a little bit of lollygagging here and there. 256 00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:02,040 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say any names or numbers. Wow, Chris 257 00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:04,320 Speaker 1: Carter just recoiled as soon as I said lolli Gagan 258 00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:06,120 Speaker 1: because he knows that when you go in that film 259 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,160 Speaker 1: session and you see a guy not really hustling the 260 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:10,640 Speaker 1: way you should, that's bad news for that game. Absolutely 261 00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 1: biggest question for me. We've had some great Joe's in 262 00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:18,520 Speaker 1: this league. Joe Nama, Joe Green, Joe Montana. They changed 263 00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:22,880 Speaker 1: the league. The question is is this the next NFL 264 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:26,079 Speaker 1: great name Joe. I like it and I'm all for 265 00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:30,800 Speaker 1: He has the pedigree, great athlete, composure, But a lot 266 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,840 Speaker 1: of this is about system. Him going back to Ohio, 267 00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:37,720 Speaker 1: being drafted there. He fits perfect for that franchise, the 268 00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,360 Speaker 1: talent they have around him. I think the league's in 269 00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:42,439 Speaker 1: good hands with these young quarterbacks. I feel like you 270 00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:44,559 Speaker 1: are leaning towards the Bengals. I just feel that I 271 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:46,320 Speaker 1: haven't talked to you about. Just feel like you're there's 272 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:52,040 Speaker 1: a lot of Bengals that twang in my voice. Yes, Okay, 273 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,400 Speaker 1: slight lean. But it's Wednesday, Okay. I need to see 274 00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:57,200 Speaker 1: the injury report. We had a Super Bowl MVP. Name 275 00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:00,200 Speaker 1: Joe Flarco too, Joe, name your kid, Joe. I think 276 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:01,720 Speaker 1: about our show after this. We have two weeks. We 277 00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:03,839 Speaker 1: have many, many, many, many many hours talking about the 278 00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:07,800 Speaker 1: Super Bowl. Rams Bengals GMFB. What what is the storyline 279 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:10,960 Speaker 1: for this game? If we get this because Niners Chiefs, 280 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:14,079 Speaker 1: you know, there's all kinds of old, old school stuff 281 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 1: to talk about. Niners Bengals. They've played before Niners Chiefs. 282 00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:20,839 Speaker 1: As a rematch, Rams Chiefs will go back to that 283 00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:22,439 Speaker 1: shootout they had at the Colle sum a couple of 284 00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:25,319 Speaker 1: years ago. Rams Bengals, what is the storyline? There's just 285 00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:27,679 Speaker 1: a little bit of connective tissue you can chew on 286 00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:31,640 Speaker 1: between Taylor and McVeigh Andrew Whitworth played for both teams. 287 00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:33,640 Speaker 1: Is that the storyline of this game? I don't know 288 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:36,200 Speaker 1: if we can last for two weeks. So Rams Bengals, 289 00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:38,000 Speaker 1: cool matchup. I just don't know what the hell we 290 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:39,800 Speaker 1: are going to chew on when we're in LA for 291 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:41,760 Speaker 1: all those hours. So I'm not saying I'm not rooting 292 00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:43,319 Speaker 1: for it. I'm just wondering, what is the answer. What 293 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:45,400 Speaker 1: are we talking about with this one? I haven't seen it. 294 00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:47,240 Speaker 1: We're in out Rams Bengals and it just gave me 295 00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:52,280 Speaker 1: really excited could happen? Okay? All four Divisional round games 296 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:56,120 Speaker 1: were one with no time remaining in regulation or overtime, 297 00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:59,480 Speaker 1: which is the most such finishes in an entire postseason, 298 00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:02,760 Speaker 1: in an felt history. I'd like to know keeps start 299 00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:05,480 Speaker 1: writing now your favorite walk off score of all time? 300 00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:07,959 Speaker 1: Trying to help you out isn't what, thank you. We're 301 00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:10,880 Speaker 1: dredging up some tough memories. Last segment, I talked about 302 00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:14,200 Speaker 1: my Philadelphia Flyers losing to the Edmonton Oilers. There's also 303 00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:16,199 Speaker 1: the Joe Carter home run that was a knife through 304 00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:17,760 Speaker 1: my heart. It was so I'm just gonna go with 305 00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:20,080 Speaker 1: one that I watched without any rooting interest, but I 306 00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:22,920 Speaker 1: really enjoyed it. It It was Flipper Anderson in the Meadowlands, 307 00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:26,440 Speaker 1: running through the tunnel. He catches the pass. Yeah, he 308 00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:29,880 Speaker 1: keeps going through the end zone. Nobody was complaining about 309 00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:31,680 Speaker 1: overtime rules back then. I guess I don't know who 310 00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,160 Speaker 1: knows rud that guy over right into the tunnel, throws 311 00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:35,440 Speaker 1: the ball. Does he throw the ball? I don't know. 312 00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:37,600 Speaker 1: It never comes back, just disappears, right. I think he 313 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:39,080 Speaker 1: just stayed in there there it is. They beat the 314 00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,680 Speaker 1: Eagles the week before then. I was only yeah, that 315 00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:43,640 Speaker 1: one hurt too. String them all off. Let's go what 316 00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:50,040 Speaker 1: else we got My favorite walk off? Sorry, guys, nineteen 317 00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:53,120 Speaker 1: ninety four, in the Metrodome. I think it was December first. 318 00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:55,880 Speaker 1: I think I start in the slot. We had designed 319 00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:58,080 Speaker 1: this play to take advantage of Sean gil the safety. 320 00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,360 Speaker 1: They put me in motion, almost the same play that 321 00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:04,120 Speaker 1: Andy Reid, Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelsey run. I start 322 00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:05,840 Speaker 1: from the left, come on the right. We run in motion. 323 00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:09,000 Speaker 1: We knew we get the single coverage with the safety 324 00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:13,600 Speaker 1: against the Bears in the Metrodome, and it wasn't only 325 00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:15,880 Speaker 1: just a touchdown. Afterwards, the owner came up to me. 326 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:19,320 Speaker 1: He was a member at the prestigious Augusta National Oh. 327 00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:22,200 Speaker 1: He told Chris, congratulations, we're going to Augusta for that 328 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:25,160 Speaker 1: win there so ninety four. Yes, that was my first 329 00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:27,600 Speaker 1: time ever going to Augusta. After that season two playing 330 00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:31,080 Speaker 1: the hollowed halls, how did you shoot night seventy five? 331 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:35,600 Speaker 1: Seventy five? Yep, you're the worst, Chris. The championship is here. 332 00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:38,720 Speaker 1: That's rights conference.

It's wild. 347 00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 1: Let's take a look at the quarterbacks in the ABC Championshi. 348 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:01,920 Speaker 1: If he got Patrick Mahomes, he's been down this road before, 349 00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:04,080 Speaker 1: looking for his third straight trip to the Super Bowl, 350 00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:07,560 Speaker 1: and he's already got one ring at twenty six years old. 351 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,840 Speaker 1: For Joe Burrow, just year two in the league, the 352 00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:14,080 Speaker 1: new cat in Town, He's already a game away from 353 00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:16,520 Speaker 1: super Bowl fifty six. This is very impressive. So let's 354 00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:21,400 Speaker 1: start with Burrow. What would age Championship Sunday win mean 355 00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:27,159 Speaker 1: for JB. King stuff star the superstar. There's a huge 356 00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:29,520 Speaker 1: difference from getting to a title game and winning it. 357 00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:31,880 Speaker 1: We had the Blake Bortles Jaguars in the title game 358 00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:33,280 Speaker 1: a few years ago. He's not the face of the 359 00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:35,600 Speaker 1: league right now, but if he wins this thing, he's 360 00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:37,399 Speaker 1: doing things that Mahomes couldn't do on the way up. 361 00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:41,159 Speaker 1: And Mahomes did almost everything second year as a starter 362 00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:44,919 Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl, going through the Chiefs. It's nuclear, 363 00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:48,120 Speaker 1: it's stratospheric, and and doing it with a huge knee 364 00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:50,760 Speaker 1: injury in his first year. Also something that Mahomes didn't do. 365 00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:53,120 Speaker 1: What I'm saying is if you do things that number 366 00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:55,120 Speaker 1: fifteen for the Chiefs could not do in his young career, 367 00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:57,200 Speaker 1: you are becoming a superstar. And let me say this, 368 00:17:57,320 --> 00:17:58,840 Speaker 1: if he gets the Super Bowl, he wins this thing 369 00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:01,840 Speaker 1: like he's Pete Rose Cincinnati, like he is the face 370 00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:04,879 Speaker 1: of the city. Stratosphere stuff. A lot of work to 371 00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:07,359 Speaker 1: be done. And believe me, if they go home and 372 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:09,679 Speaker 1: they win, they lose to the Chiefs thirty one to thirteen, 373 00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:11,720 Speaker 1: and in the off season, back to the shallow and 374 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:13,800 Speaker 1: work on it, young guy. But if he wins this 375 00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:18,000 Speaker 1: one and that statements that quarterback king stuff young King 376 00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:20,480 Speaker 1: clear out the next ten years. It's it's really excited. 377 00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:23,000 Speaker 1: I'm gonna start right where you left off. F he 378 00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:25,560 Speaker 1: wins us. When I look at players, I try to 379 00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:28,240 Speaker 1: look someone from the past that they match up with. 380 00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:30,080 Speaker 1: And to me, when I look at him, look at 381 00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:34,240 Speaker 1: his college career, transferred schools, injured, early, took over a 382 00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:37,119 Speaker 1: franchise that couldn't win. He reminds me of Troy Akman 383 00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:39,240 Speaker 1: and could we be on the cups of seeing the 384 00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:41,720 Speaker 1: next Troy Amen, because a lot of time Troy doesn't 385 00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:45,320 Speaker 1: get enough credit as far as what he did inside 386 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:49,920 Speaker 1: that Dallas dynasty, that craziness. Troy Aitman was the rock there. 387 00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:53,560 Speaker 1: And we talked about attracting people to other places. Troy 388 00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:58,080 Speaker 1: Aitman attracted a lot of people to Dallas. Dynamic leader, underrated, 389 00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,800 Speaker 1: faced adversity right, took it on the chin. One of 390 00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:05,920 Speaker 1: my favorite quarterbacks all time, Troy Atman. Joe Burrows could 391 00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:08,399 Speaker 1: be that are going to say, I want to go 392 00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:12,520 Speaker 1: with this guy. I love them. Well, see, now there's 393 00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:15,320 Speaker 1: a very big difference. Now there's a very big difference 394 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,600 Speaker 1: to drawing people to Dallas. And I understand the Cowboys 395 00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:22,080 Speaker 1: were a different Cowboys back then and Jerry Jones before 396 00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:24,200 Speaker 1: he took over, and now they're the Cowboys that we 397 00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:25,840 Speaker 1: knowed that everybody wants to play for Cowboy, they were 398 00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:28,000 Speaker 1: still the Cowboys, Okay, there was still that star power. 399 00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:30,240 Speaker 1: I think they were one in fifteen record wise, I 400 00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:33,200 Speaker 1: Got You, I Got You. But Aaron Rodgers talks about 401 00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:35,879 Speaker 1: Green Bay's not a destination, right well, he makes it 402 00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:37,720 Speaker 1: a destination because people want to go there and play 403 00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:40,240 Speaker 1: with me. So that's why to me, it's Joe Burrow 404 00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:42,440 Speaker 1: and I love you Cincinnati. I really do not take 405 00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:44,800 Speaker 1: this the wrong way. Please, okay, don't take this the 406 00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:46,600 Speaker 1: wrong way. But you got this guy coming out of 407 00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:48,920 Speaker 1: the smoke here. You got this guy that people want 408 00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:52,960 Speaker 1: to play with, Receivers, defensive guys, whoever wants to play 409 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:54,800 Speaker 1: with this guy. If he takes into I think it's 410 00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:57,720 Speaker 1: already happening. I could already hear it across the league, 411 00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:00,480 Speaker 1: this admiration for him. For this guy's take this team 412 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:02,639 Speaker 1: to the super Bowl in the second year after an 413 00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:05,119 Speaker 1: ACL late in his first year. That's a a ry 414 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:09,240 Speaker 1: new winglad Bad Stadium before Brayton. If we're going to 415 00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:12,000 Speaker 1: sit here and after that game on Sunday compared Josh 416 00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:13,800 Speaker 1: Allen and say he's on the same level as Mahomes. 417 00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:15,720 Speaker 1: Would you guys all agreed to then if Joe Burrow 418 00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:18,199 Speaker 1: beats the Kansas City Chiefs twice in a season, then 419 00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:21,520 Speaker 1: he's there. He's right behind Patrick Mahomes. He moves into 420 00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:25,359 Speaker 1: that territory of elite quarterbacks because that is something that 421 00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:27,880 Speaker 1: nobody does. I mean that puts him. Are you guys 422 00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:29,480 Speaker 1: kids like I'm looking at the list right now? He 423 00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:34,120 Speaker 1: would achieved something Lamar, Josh Allen, Justin Herbert, and all 424 00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:36,959 Speaker 1: the gifted quarterbacks, something that they haven't done to make 425 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,480 Speaker 1: it to a Super Bowl. Only Tom Brady has beaten 426 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,680 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes twice in a season, the only quarterback. So 427 00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:44,960 Speaker 1: if he is able to do that once at home, 428 00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:47,640 Speaker 1: once on the road, we were living in this world 429 00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:49,920 Speaker 1: where Joe Burrow is. He's on the full screen the 430 00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:53,119 Speaker 1: graphic next to Justin Herbert. No, he's going to be 431 00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:54,760 Speaker 1: on the full screen and he belongs on the full 432 00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:58,600 Speaker 1: screen next to Patrick Mahomes. Wow, subthing struck me because 433 00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:00,919 Speaker 1: I went back to watch the first matchup of these 434 00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:04,000 Speaker 1: two teams. And remember Tony Romo predicted last year, we're 435 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,000 Speaker 1: going to see these two teams to Kansas City and 436 00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:08,480 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay. We'll see him again in the super Bowl. 437 00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:11,119 Speaker 1: Maybe suggested that he sort of did something. At the beginning, 438 00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:13,320 Speaker 1: as the balls being kicked off, he talked about he says, 439 00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:15,760 Speaker 1: you know, maybe this is a rivalry that's being born here, 440 00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:18,120 Speaker 1: and we talked about Mahomes and Josh Allen, and maybe 441 00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:20,479 Speaker 1: at the time when he said that, we were thinking, okay, well, 442 00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:22,399 Speaker 1: Joe Burrow's kind of there. Maybe he'll be there in 443 00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:24,239 Speaker 1: a couple of years, Romo kind of called it. Here 444 00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:26,840 Speaker 1: we are Joe Burrow, thrusting himself into this conversation. Say 445 00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:29,159 Speaker 1: it's not just Josh Allen and Patrick Holmes. I'm here too, 446 00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:31,440 Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen. Jimmy Patrick Mahomes is at the top. 447 00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:33,800 Speaker 1: He's the person that's always all right. Now he's standing 448 00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:36,000 Speaker 1: there and you're going to compare everybody else to him. 449 00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:38,680 Speaker 1: So let's talk about him, Kyle, and what this trip 450 00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:40,159 Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl would mean for him. If he 451 00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:44,800 Speaker 1: gets in. If Mahomes gets another one, then it's get 452 00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:46,600 Speaker 1: the hell out on my throne, room, get the out 453 00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:48,840 Speaker 1: of my castle, get out of my site. Who's the 454 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:52,480 Speaker 1: next moment? Herbert shut up? Burrows, shut up, Alan shut up, 455 00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:55,760 Speaker 1: Lamar shup. Me. I'm the one. I'm the standard. And 456 00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:58,560 Speaker 1: it's like they had a wonky season. We had people 457 00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:01,000 Speaker 1: on other networks saying that Patrick Mahomes was quote unquote 458 00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:03,640 Speaker 1: broken this year. He's never gonna be the same. Let's 459 00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:05,600 Speaker 1: not forget the super he lost last year. Is like 460 00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:08,159 Speaker 1: everyone's coming away and this godlike takes of the most 461 00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:10,639 Speaker 1: impressive performance and a loss ever because of the throws 462 00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:13,240 Speaker 1: that he was making. If he goes and he beats 463 00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:15,639 Speaker 1: this young pup, it's just him taking every other AFC 464 00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:17,959 Speaker 1: quarterback over his knee and spanking the crap out of him. 465 00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:20,399 Speaker 1: It's still Mahomes. He's still the standard. The only guy 466 00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:22,920 Speaker 1: who's ever beating him in a playoff game is Tom Brady. 467 00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:25,359 Speaker 1: Zont has two losses in the playoffs, both the Brady 468 00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:28,320 Speaker 1: It's king stuff. Never mind that, what never mind Homes, 469 00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:31,879 Speaker 1: I'm still the King, especially with Brady. Don't know what, 470 00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:37,160 Speaker 1: Rogers don't know where Patrick Mahomes and the only playoff 471 00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:39,879 Speaker 1: loss is to the King on his resume. He is 472 00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:43,080 Speaker 1: the preeminent quarterback. He is the face of the league. 473 00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:46,200 Speaker 1: He is everything all these kids and everything want to be. 474 00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:48,560 Speaker 1: Who's the next Patrick Mahomes. He's not in league, He's 475 00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:51,040 Speaker 1: not those guys. He's a kid out playing high school 476 00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:53,560 Speaker 1: now or in little league. That's where he's able to 477 00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:55,840 Speaker 1: ascend to. If he's able to get this done, then 478 00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:58,480 Speaker 1: we can talk. Is this the modern day New England? 479 00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:01,800 Speaker 1: Is this the mini dynasty starting there in Kansas City? 480 00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:05,000 Speaker 1: Might well? For years we talked about up in New England. 481 00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:07,880 Speaker 1: They used September as kind of like an extended preseason 482 00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:09,760 Speaker 1: to figure out who they are and know what their 483 00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:11,560 Speaker 1: strings are and figure out what their identity was for 484 00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:13,520 Speaker 1: the entire season. It didn't matter if they started two 485 00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:15,640 Speaker 1: and two, right because they're just they're going to click. 486 00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:18,600 Speaker 1: For Patrick Mahomes this year, the way things started and 487 00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:20,639 Speaker 1: the mistakes that he made, and the mistakes how you 488 00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:22,920 Speaker 1: talked about how this was not the perfect season. This 489 00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:26,920 Speaker 1: was not thrashing opponents from the start and being well 490 00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:28,399 Speaker 1: out in front. They had to come from behind. So 491 00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:30,480 Speaker 1: for him to get this team to the super Bowl. 492 00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:34,200 Speaker 1: Now in the future, when you've got those septembers where 493 00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:36,960 Speaker 1: things aren't clicking. Your teammates are gonna look at you, 494 00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:38,960 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes and say, Okay, no, that's cool. We're gonna 495 00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:40,680 Speaker 1: figure it out. We're good. We don't have to be 496 00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:42,600 Speaker 1: that dominant team from the jump. So I think that's 497 00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:44,600 Speaker 1: the most important thing. When I look at the story 498 00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:46,840 Speaker 1: of Patrick Mahomes in the Chiefs twenty twenty one season, 499 00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:50,639 Speaker 1: it's so rare and so cool to have a dynasty 500 00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:53,639 Speaker 1: and it doesn't happen very often, and it's hard to 501 00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:56,040 Speaker 1: not root for it. It's very hard for me to 502 00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:59,000 Speaker 1: root against Patrick Mahomes because we cannot talk about who's 503 00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:00,720 Speaker 1: the greatest and who's the best. But in order to 504 00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:03,120 Speaker 1: do that, I'm always hesitant to do that until there's 505 00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:05,920 Speaker 1: sustained excellence and that's the hardest thing to do. Stay 506 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,000 Speaker 1: on top, and that's what he has done. Only three 507 00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:11,360 Speaker 1: quarterbacks in the history of the NFL have started three 508 00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:15,080 Speaker 1: consecutive Super Bowls. Just three. Just Tom Brady, just Jim 509 00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:17,160 Speaker 1: Kelly of course made it to four straight with the Bills, 510 00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:20,080 Speaker 1: and Bob Greasy guys with the Dolphins in the early seventies. 511 00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:23,320 Speaker 1: If the Holmes joins that guad that is extremely where 512 00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:25,879 Speaker 1: company three straight chips to super bowling. Who hasn't done that. 513 00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:29,159 Speaker 1: Joe Montana never did it, Terry Bradshaw never did it, 514 00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:33,159 Speaker 1: Not Troy Aikman, not Peyton Manning, not John Elway. It 515 00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:36,640 Speaker 1: is the susame success. He is then on a full 516 00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:39,639 Speaker 1: screen all his own and nobody can be compared to him. 517 00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:44,040 Speaker 1: Every year. I just had to make sure that have 518 00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:46,520 Speaker 1: the ability to commit to what the team really needs. 519 00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:50,200 Speaker 1: And that's a really important to me. The team. The 520 00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:52,800 Speaker 1: team doesn't deserve anything less than my best. And if 521 00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:54,480 Speaker 1: I feel like I'm not committed to that or I 522 00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:56,800 Speaker 1: can't play the championship level, you got to give someone 523 00:24:56,840 --> 00:25:00,400 Speaker 1: else a chance to play. And you know we'll see 524 00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:02,440 Speaker 1: you know again, there's a long time between now and 525 00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:04,960 Speaker 1: the start of next football season, and you know, I've 526 00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:06,920 Speaker 1: got to really figure those things out, which is probably 527 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:08,880 Speaker 1: natural for anyone. And at the same time, I would 528 00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:11,720 Speaker 1: say this, we never know what's going to happen in 529 00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:15,080 Speaker 1: the future. We really don't. I mean, Kobe Bryant, a 530 00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:17,600 Speaker 1: friend of ours, God rest his soul. You know you 531 00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:19,720 Speaker 1: think you're gonna live forever. We're not. We think we're 532 00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:21,760 Speaker 1: gonna play forever we're not what can we do? We 533 00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:24,760 Speaker 1: can enjoy the moments that we have. That's Tom Brady 534 00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:27,120 Speaker 1: on his podcast It's called It Let's Go with Jim 535 00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:30,160 Speaker 1: Gray and Larry Fitzgerald bringing up Kobe Bryant talking about 536 00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:33,119 Speaker 1: how his family needs him. It's sort of changed my 537 00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:36,000 Speaker 1: opinion on the whole situation. Chris, after hearing Brady's words yesterday, 538 00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:38,240 Speaker 1: do you feeling differently about how he might approach this future? 539 00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:40,680 Speaker 1: What Tom says. Tom is trying to be as honest 540 00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:43,880 Speaker 1: as he can, and there's a lot of extenuating circumstances 541 00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:47,080 Speaker 1: outside of football. But the honeymoon in Tampa Bay, going 542 00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:49,720 Speaker 1: there after leaving New England, which we never thought would happen, 543 00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:52,159 Speaker 1: and doing what they did in the first year, to me, 544 00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:56,000 Speaker 1: it's a great final chapter. He's healthy. What else can 545 00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:58,119 Speaker 1: he accomplish in the game. I don't see him playing 546 00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:00,639 Speaker 1: for another team, So the more time talks to more, 547 00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:02,640 Speaker 1: I would lean towards I believe he's done. I look 548 00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:05,000 Speaker 1: at that. We have the Royal Rumble this weekend. In 549 00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:07,639 Speaker 1: the rumble of Brady's career, there's all these people in 550 00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:09,800 Speaker 1: the ring and it's Brucerians and it's Alex Guerrero and 551 00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:11,640 Speaker 1: it's Jim Gray, and it's all his endorsements, and they're 552 00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:13,159 Speaker 1: all fighting over what's going to happen. And then you 553 00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:16,080 Speaker 1: look to the dressing room and Giselle's music plays, and 554 00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:18,280 Speaker 1: she runs in and just starts throwing everybody out of 555 00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:20,480 Speaker 1: the ring. If this is an earnest thing, the stuff 556 00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:22,080 Speaker 1: he was talking about how much his wife doesn't like 557 00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:23,680 Speaker 1: to see him get hit and the kids and all that. 558 00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:26,960 Speaker 1: If he's posturing or strategizing, that's a different thing. But 559 00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:29,200 Speaker 1: if that is a real thing where she's communicating to 560 00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:31,320 Speaker 1: him like I'm done and I want you to be done, 561 00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:34,240 Speaker 1: that's a very powerful thing. The spouse thing, man, woman 562 00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:36,880 Speaker 1: or whatever, Trump's everything. If that is becoming a huge 563 00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:39,280 Speaker 1: factor in this where she is telling him unlikely to 564 00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:41,040 Speaker 1: be done, then all bets are off. I think he 565 00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:43,480 Speaker 1: wants to play this fifty. If it's not working at home, 566 00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:45,480 Speaker 1: it's not going to work there. So if that is genuine, 567 00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:47,280 Speaker 1: if that's really a thing, it could be this ship 568 00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:49,160 Speaker 1: thing for a while though, right But he's speaking about 569 00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:52,680 Speaker 1: a little bit differently right now. Well, his messaging there 570 00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:55,680 Speaker 1: matches with her messaging on Instagram that video that she 571 00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:59,280 Speaker 1: posted about tomorrow is not guaranteed. I'm paraphrasing, but enjoy 572 00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:01,560 Speaker 1: every last moment. And that's kind of what he's saying, 573 00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:04,160 Speaker 1: talking about his mortality and Kobe Bryant and all this stuff, 574 00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:05,600 Speaker 1: So that's starting to match up. The one thing that 575 00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:08,160 Speaker 1: did surprise me from the whole podcast was him basically saying, 576 00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:10,160 Speaker 1: there's no way I'm doing a retirement tour. I don't 577 00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:11,760 Speaker 1: want that. I don't want the Jeter, I don't want 578 00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:13,800 Speaker 1: the Mariano, I don't want gifts from other teams, which 579 00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:15,520 Speaker 1: is really weird, by the way, but it don't have 580 00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:17,679 Speaker 1: time to get into that. So this is legit. I mean, 581 00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:19,240 Speaker 1: I just don't know any other way to kind of 582 00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:21,080 Speaker 1: get at it. This sounds legit what he said. It's 583 00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:23,440 Speaker 1: hard to walk back at the strategy like I really 584 00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:25,400 Speaker 1: need to be there for my family, bringing up Kobe 585 00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:27,000 Speaker 1: Bryant and then being like, but I'm gonna come playing, 586 00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:29,560 Speaker 1: and I think it's sort of a his platform. It's 587 00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:31,239 Speaker 1: just hard to walk that back and say he's going 588 00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:33,720 Speaker 1: to suit up again. I don't know, yeah, Jim, if 589 00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:36,160 Speaker 1: with your yeah, I think he's I think he's gonna 590 00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:38,960 Speaker 1: hang it up. I think I think he might woof 591 00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:41,520 Speaker 1: coming up, though I know I'm not ready for that. Well, 592 00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:44,200 Speaker 1: we all know retiring isn't retiring, don't we Look at Gronkowski. 593 00:27:44,320 --> 00:28:07,679 Speaker 1: Come on, Robbie Golder to worry Golden Black and Robbie. 594 00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:26,600 Speaker 1: Championship game the name with so many superstars, Kyle Grant, 595 00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:28,920 Speaker 1: Are you ready for this? No? I'm not ready. I 596 00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:30,560 Speaker 1: don't know how I'm gonna get there. It's gonna be wild. 597 00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:32,920 Speaker 1: How many games left in the season? Three games left 598 00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:35,800 Speaker 1: in the entire season, and two of them on Sunday. 599 00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:39,400 Speaker 1: The NFL playoffs continue on Championship Sunday. The Dream Closer 600 00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:42,040 Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppol and the Niners Matthew Stafford and the Rams 601 00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:43,840 Speaker 1: both looking a bunch of their ticket to Super Bowl 602 00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:47,200 Speaker 1: fifty six in l a L Championship Sunday presented by 603 00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:49,840 Speaker 1: Into a Turbotech Slide and it kicks off at three 604 00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:53,760 Speaker 1: Eastern on CBS.

And 609 00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:09,240 Speaker 1: welcome to our show. It's called GMFB. Thanks for choosing 610 00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:12,440 Speaker 1: us on this morning, My Garfolo, We've got Chris Carter, myself, 611 00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:15,680 Speaker 1: Kay Adams, and Kyle Brandt and let's hit the lead block. 612 00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:19,120 Speaker 1: Let's dig into the NFC Championship. Off the top here 613 00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:22,360 Speaker 1: two quarterbacks. We'll be under center at SOFI, home of 614 00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:25,480 Speaker 1: Super Bowl fifty six. Sunday's game could be career changing 615 00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:28,600 Speaker 1: for both. Let's focus on Jimmy Garoppolo to start here, 616 00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:31,920 Speaker 1: four on one playoff record. What would a win against 617 00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:35,880 Speaker 1: the Rams and the trip once more to Super Bowl 618 00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:38,920 Speaker 1: mean for Jimmy g Chris. Like a lot of NFL players, 619 00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:41,440 Speaker 1: even once you get to the league, it's about respect 620 00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:44,240 Speaker 1: and Jimmy Garoppo, if you look at him, what he's 621 00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:47,160 Speaker 1: done as a starter, and how people feel about him, 622 00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:49,760 Speaker 1: it's totally disrespectful because if you look at the sample 623 00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:52,880 Speaker 1: size a start since twenty seventeen quarterbacks was more than 624 00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:56,760 Speaker 1: twenty starts, Jimmy Garoppolo has the fifth highest winning percentage 625 00:29:56,960 --> 00:30:02,520 Speaker 1: behind who Patrick Mahomes, Brady Drew Brees, and Lamar Jackson. 626 00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:06,120 Speaker 1: Most people don't realize that the number one stat for 627 00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:09,720 Speaker 1: a quarterback is not yard just not interception. It is 628 00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:12,680 Speaker 1: does he get on the winning bus because that is 629 00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:15,280 Speaker 1: the one position we keep wins and losses, and that's 630 00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:17,880 Speaker 1: what Jimmy does for his team. You put him in there, 631 00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:20,840 Speaker 1: if he's healthy, he's going to win. So it's about respect. 632 00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:23,479 Speaker 1: This weekend he had you gained respect for him. Over 633 00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:26,040 Speaker 1: the past three or four weeks. I think that I 634 00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:29,560 Speaker 1: underrated him. I underrated him as a passer, and now 635 00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:31,880 Speaker 1: I see that he's dealing with some injuries and that 636 00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:34,240 Speaker 1: weather in Green Bay, not being able to grip that 637 00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:36,280 Speaker 1: football and be able to get done what he's able 638 00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:38,280 Speaker 1: to get done. If you look at the tools Aaron 639 00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:40,680 Speaker 1: Rodgers had and what Jimmy g had and with the 640 00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:43,640 Speaker 1: injuries going there to win mad respect. What does it 641 00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:45,880 Speaker 1: mean for Jimmy Garoppolo to take the forty nine ers 642 00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:47,520 Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl at the end of the twenty 643 00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:49,560 Speaker 1: twenty one season. Means he should be the starter in 644 00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:51,440 Speaker 1: twenty twenty two. He's got one year left in his 645 00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:53,480 Speaker 1: deal at twenty five million dollars. By the way, that 646 00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:56,600 Speaker 1: is a bargain when it comes to quarterbacks. Yeah, right now, 647 00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:59,680 Speaker 1: starting quarterbacks in the NFL because we are over forty 648 00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:03,040 Speaker 1: million per year on the upper echelone. Guys, Now, look, 649 00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:06,040 Speaker 1: I know what we've reported Ian Rappaport and I that 650 00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:08,280 Speaker 1: forty nine ers are committed to Trey Lance in twenty 651 00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:10,760 Speaker 1: twenty two. But Ian kind of put that caveat in 652 00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:13,240 Speaker 1: there said, barring a run to the super Bowl, well, 653 00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:15,160 Speaker 1: this is what we're talking about right here. This would 654 00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:17,920 Speaker 1: be a run to the super Bowl and San Francisco. 655 00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:20,200 Speaker 1: You don't have to rush Tray Lance. You could take 656 00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:22,560 Speaker 1: your time there. Aaron Rodgers sat at the beginning of 657 00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:24,640 Speaker 1: his career for a couple of years that turned out. Okay, 658 00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:27,280 Speaker 1: you don't have to throw him in there right away 659 00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:28,959 Speaker 1: just because you made that trade up and you got 660 00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:30,960 Speaker 1: him in the draft. Take your time, let Jimmy start. 661 00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:32,400 Speaker 1: If he takes you to the super Bowl. It's on 662 00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:34,640 Speaker 1: the razors ed with Jimmy. I think if he plays 663 00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:37,160 Speaker 1: poorly in this game and they lose, that might be 664 00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:39,880 Speaker 1: a rap. That might be Shanahan saying the reason I 665 00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,400 Speaker 1: drafted Trey Lance isn't because Jimmy's bad or it's just 666 00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:45,880 Speaker 1: he's limited. He's limited as a player, and I think 667 00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:48,320 Speaker 1: he is. But if Jimmy goes and starts a second 668 00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:50,440 Speaker 1: super Bowl, Like, how do you move on from him? 669 00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:52,240 Speaker 1: I really do think that this he's kind of playing 670 00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:54,600 Speaker 1: for his future right here, because he hasn't been great 671 00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:57,280 Speaker 1: in these playoffs. He's been tough, he's been competitively respected, 672 00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:00,440 Speaker 1: He's very expensive and very limited and what he can 673 00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:02,520 Speaker 1: do on the field, and if you really want to 674 00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:04,680 Speaker 1: get some of the fun of it, the exercise of 675 00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:07,840 Speaker 1: redrafting for the Niners this year is crazy because can 676 00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:10,120 Speaker 1: you imagine this team if they had stuck with him 677 00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:11,880 Speaker 1: and just they got Michael Parsons on this team, or 678 00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:13,960 Speaker 1: they had gone up again Jamar Chase, they would up 679 00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:15,320 Speaker 1: and got a guy who's not going to be playing 680 00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:17,840 Speaker 1: this weekend. I really do think a win would mean 681 00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:20,320 Speaker 1: he started more Super Bowls than Aaron Rodgers. He started 682 00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:22,240 Speaker 1: more Super Bowls than Dan Marino. Like it's he's in 683 00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:24,560 Speaker 1: a crazy class of guys who've gotten two super Bowls. 684 00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:28,800 Speaker 1: But he's still not quite driving this bus, is he? 685 00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:31,960 Speaker 1: Like I know he drives sometimes, but he's very expensive 686 00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:34,920 Speaker 1: and very limited. And I think his future next year 687 00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:36,760 Speaker 1: and the next several years, I think it's going to 688 00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:39,240 Speaker 1: play on the field this weekend I really do get 689 00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:41,320 Speaker 1: him to the super Bowl. You're our guy. Jamiel's tried 690 00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:43,680 Speaker 1: again throw two picks one hundred and sixty yards and 691 00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:45,560 Speaker 1: lose by ten points. I think it's a roup. The 692 00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:49,600 Speaker 1: Niners are eight and twenty seven without him. So when 693 00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:52,440 Speaker 1: I look at him and I look out there, he elevates, 694 00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:54,640 Speaker 1: say what you want. And he might not be driving 695 00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:58,040 Speaker 1: the bus, but he is a stabilizing force out there. 696 00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:02,320 Speaker 1: Everyone around him plays better when it's him that's out there. 697 00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:04,680 Speaker 1: Why do you think that is he fits their personnel 698 00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:07,680 Speaker 1: because they don't have the type of personnel they want 699 00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:10,360 Speaker 1: to drive the ball deep down the field, deep in cuts, 700 00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:14,840 Speaker 1: comebacks on the outside. His ball handling skills are underrated 701 00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:18,160 Speaker 1: and his leadership skills because you see other guys around 702 00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:20,800 Speaker 1: him still having career years. You're not going to have 703 00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:23,760 Speaker 1: the kind of season Debo has unless you have a 704 00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:28,600 Speaker 1: guy that is capable. Yes, I understand his overall consistency 705 00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:31,239 Speaker 1: based on the quarterbacks we have in the league. Now, 706 00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:33,560 Speaker 1: that's one of the big dilemmas with him. Man, we 707 00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:36,720 Speaker 1: got some gunsling, Yeah, we gotta do big small guys 708 00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:39,640 Speaker 1: can get it down the field, and he'll never be 709 00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:42,200 Speaker 1: that type of quarterback thirty five and fifteen, when he's 710 00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:45,040 Speaker 1: out there for one in the playoffs eight and twenty seven. 711 00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:47,800 Speaker 1: Without him on the other side, we have another interesting 712 00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:50,360 Speaker 1: quarters back named Matthew Stafford. In twelve seasons in Detroit. 713 00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:53,200 Speaker 1: His first two playoff wins came this year, one game 714 00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:55,400 Speaker 1: away from Super Bowl fifty six. So what would have 715 00:33:55,440 --> 00:34:00,360 Speaker 1: won a championship? Championship Sunday mean for staffordshar I don't 716 00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:02,440 Speaker 1: believe people are gonna give him credit because this is 717 00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:04,400 Speaker 1: truly one of the best talents that we have in 718 00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:06,840 Speaker 1: the league. And what people saw in Detroit, They're gonna 719 00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:09,239 Speaker 1: stay in Detroit, and what they're gonna do is, oh 720 00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:12,719 Speaker 1: Sean McVay is a great coach. Oh Less sneed made 721 00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:16,360 Speaker 1: a great trade there. They're never gonna give Matthew Stafford 722 00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:19,160 Speaker 1: unless he wins the Super Bowl give him the type 723 00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:22,719 Speaker 1: of credit. But people don't realize when you have an 724 00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:26,040 Speaker 1: abundance of talent, you still have to submit that talent 725 00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:28,759 Speaker 1: solid it can be cultivated. He was in the wrong 726 00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:32,239 Speaker 1: place in Detroit. It's not his fault. They traded for him. 727 00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:34,800 Speaker 1: He's in the right spot and they're gonna be planned 728 00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:39,960 Speaker 1: for championships with Matthew Stafford as their quarterback consistently, consistently, 729 00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:41,799 Speaker 1: and that's why they trade it for him. What would 730 00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:44,279 Speaker 1: it mean? It would mean to piggyback off of your 731 00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:46,600 Speaker 1: point there, Chris Carter. A lot of wasted years in Detroit, 732 00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:48,600 Speaker 1: a lot of time where he was doing what he 733 00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:50,560 Speaker 1: did last weekend in Russia, running up in the line, 734 00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:51,960 Speaker 1: let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go 735 00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:53,800 Speaker 1: and stop the ball. A lot of exciting stuff that 736 00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:57,040 Speaker 1: we saw in the regular season that we could have 737 00:34:57,120 --> 00:34:59,680 Speaker 1: seen in the postseason, and now we're seeing it. And 738 00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:02,319 Speaker 1: now it's a guy who's trying to capitalize as best 739 00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:04,360 Speaker 1: he can at the age of thirty three going on 740 00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:07,799 Speaker 1: thirty four. Here. It's a shame that we haven't seen 741 00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:10,120 Speaker 1: him more in January over the years because of what 742 00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:12,520 Speaker 1: happened to Detroit, because it was the wrong place, Chris, 743 00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:14,799 Speaker 1: And that kind of makes me sad. I wish there 744 00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:16,600 Speaker 1: was more postseason that. Listen, there could be more in 745 00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:19,120 Speaker 1: the next couple of years. Fine, but think about all 746 00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:21,120 Speaker 1: that great football that just went to waste in Detroit. 747 00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:24,640 Speaker 1: It is tricky. I'm having a hard time showing on 748 00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:27,480 Speaker 1: this because he has had a lot of the same 749 00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:29,279 Speaker 1: ups and downs. The last couple of weeks, it has 750 00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:31,200 Speaker 1: been good, but it's been a lot of a similar 751 00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:34,479 Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford product. And if they get to the super 752 00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:37,200 Speaker 1: Bowl and lose, it's still that well Jared Goff did 753 00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:39,760 Speaker 1: the same thing with McVeigh. I do think it's truly different. 754 00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:43,920 Speaker 1: But if you're out there to hate on Matthew Stafford, 755 00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:47,359 Speaker 1: there's ammunition. There's okay, you went to this bright young coach. 756 00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:49,239 Speaker 1: They got you Von, they got you Odell, they got 757 00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:52,320 Speaker 1: they did everything for you, and you threw some passes, 758 00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:54,080 Speaker 1: and good for you. I think he's got to win 759 00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:56,839 Speaker 1: the super Bowl to really throw down the trump card. 760 00:35:57,040 --> 00:35:59,920 Speaker 1: I've been genuinely impressed personally as a long time Stafford 761 00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:02,320 Speaker 1: I guess antagonist, but there's still a lot of a 762 00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:05,040 Speaker 1: lot of meat on that bone of he's got something 763 00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:08,399 Speaker 1: to prove. Two games left for this guy A lot 764 00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:11,439 Speaker 1: of years was a thirteen fourteen years. You don't wipe 765 00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:12,960 Speaker 1: it away in just a couple of weeks. He's got 766 00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:14,480 Speaker 1: a still out of work to do with this team. 767 00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:16,200 Speaker 1: I think it's it's a tough leg. One thing I 768 00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:18,359 Speaker 1: can say is, what do you got whatever he went 769 00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:22,200 Speaker 1: through in Detroit, it did not affect him in those 770 00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:25,000 Speaker 1: last seconds against Tom Brady because a lot of time, 771 00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:27,360 Speaker 1: when you lose a lot, you think about losing. He 772 00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:30,439 Speaker 1: was thinking about winning and you don't make that throw 773 00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:33,360 Speaker 1: to the love of the game. There's only two coverages. 774 00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:34,879 Speaker 1: You're gonna throw that to the love of the game. 775 00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:37,080 Speaker 1: We laugh when you get that route. Who's got the 776 00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:40,279 Speaker 1: love of the game? Route I do and superstar wide 777 00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:43,000 Speaker 1: receivers don't always go one hundred percent. So for him 778 00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:45,400 Speaker 1: to know that Cooper Cup, there's only two out of 779 00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:47,600 Speaker 1: a hundred looks. And for me to sit in there 780 00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:50,239 Speaker 1: and Dominican sue in my face and to make that 781 00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:52,359 Speaker 1: that's on a different level. And we need to give 782 00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:54,399 Speaker 1: him credit for that, but we also have to put 783 00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:57,440 Speaker 1: accountability on him. I mean great football. I saw him 784 00:36:57,440 --> 00:37:00,520 Speaker 1: throw four interceptions and lose to Mike glennin Detroit. That 785 00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:03,279 Speaker 1: wasn't where he was. That was him not playing well. 786 00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:04,759 Speaker 1: I saw it with my eyes. You saw it in 787 00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:06,520 Speaker 1: the NFC North as well. So he still has that 788 00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:08,160 Speaker 1: to his game. We've seen it in games this year. 789 00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:10,280 Speaker 1: He's doing a lot right now to change his legacy. 790 00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:12,200 Speaker 1: How he's seen Anne the Rams, but it's all for 791 00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:14,520 Speaker 1: not the NFC championship game. Isn't enough, is it? Kyle. 792 00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:16,680 Speaker 1: You've gotta get pass golf. He's had a great season. 793 00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:18,920 Speaker 1: He'd just beat Brady. They're gonna play the Niners this year, 794 00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:20,920 Speaker 1: but it'd be nice to see him finish this thing, 795 00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:23,880 Speaker 1: make nice and clean. NFC championship is not enough. First, 796 00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:28,239 Speaker 1: mister Stafford, this is going to be a lot of fun. 797 00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:31,720 Speaker 1: It always is. Joining us now one of our favorite 798 00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:35,240 Speaker 1: guests to ever have and welcome onto Good Morning Football. 799 00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:38,719 Speaker 1: She is the chief super fan of note, at least 800 00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:41,040 Speaker 1: to me, and she also happens to be a Grammy 801 00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:44,680 Speaker 1: and Oscar winning musician.

They will be hosting the Bengals this weekend. 806 00:38:03,719 --> 00:38:06,480 Speaker 1: Last time these two teams faced off back in Week seventeen, 807 00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:09,359 Speaker 1: the Bengals did get the win. That was in Cincinnati. Though, 808 00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:12,319 Speaker 1: how are you feeling right now about your Chiefs? Oh God, 809 00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:16,920 Speaker 1: after Sunday, I mean, I think they're Superman. So I 810 00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:19,920 Speaker 1: can't see having that game Sunday and then losing to 811 00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:22,520 Speaker 1: the Bengals. I just can't. But yes, we lost a 812 00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:24,799 Speaker 1: few weeks ago, so we're all nervous, but gosh, we're 813 00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:27,759 Speaker 1: still riding high on last Sunday. That was just that 814 00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:29,560 Speaker 1: was insane. That's the sort of thing that makes a 815 00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:32,160 Speaker 1: fan a fan for life. You know, I'll just never 816 00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:35,200 Speaker 1: ever stop. We want to get a sense of how 817 00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:37,160 Speaker 1: insane it was for you. You want us to take 818 00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:39,359 Speaker 1: you want you to take us into your living room 819 00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:41,960 Speaker 1: watching Chiefs Bills on Sunday night. We're going to run 820 00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:44,959 Speaker 1: through some big moments from that wild finish, and after 821 00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:47,320 Speaker 1: each play, I want you to tell us what the 822 00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:50,200 Speaker 1: decibel level in your house was on a scale of 823 00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:53,640 Speaker 1: one to eleven.
