1 00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:05,400 Speaker 1: We will never forget this, hopefully with joy in our hearts. 2 00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:12,560 Speaker 1: Nime Suckings left Eagles by eight. Pretty wants the black. 3 00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:17,640 Speaker 1: He's back again. He steps on, he's hit, he stumbles, 4 00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:20,439 Speaker 1: he is throwing it deep for the end zone, and 5 00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:26,560 Speaker 1: it is bat it around and complete and the game 6 00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:34,360 Speaker 1: is offs. Over. The Philadelphia Eagles are Super Bowl champions. 7 00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:41,360 Speaker 1: Eagles fans everywhere, this is for you.

Oh yeah, that was of course, 15 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:22,080 Speaker 1: Merril Reese and Mike Quick with the call in the morning. 16 00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,000 Speaker 1: This is no afternoon, but I feel like we've been 17 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:27,160 Speaker 1: here for three years. Be right. That was the final 18 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:30,840 Speaker 1: call of Super Bowl fifty to the Philadelphia Eagles, for 19 00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:35,280 Speaker 1: the first time in their franchise history, are Super Bowl champions. 20 00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:38,280 Speaker 1: A forty one to thirty three win over the New 21 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:44,039 Speaker 1: England Patriots in one of the greatest shootouts, Greg And 22 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:45,960 Speaker 1: how you doing? By the way, guy, I'm doing good. 23 00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:50,040 Speaker 1: So it's actually much nicer to cover the to cover 24 00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:53,040 Speaker 1: the game professionally and just be busy and kind of 25 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:54,840 Speaker 1: be here live if you're at home, and he would 26 00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,760 Speaker 1: be miserable. What I was gonna say was in one 27 00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:02,240 Speaker 1: of the not just greatest shoot outs in Super Bowl 28 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:08,160 Speaker 1: history or playoff history, but professional football history, a game 29 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:11,359 Speaker 1: where defenses did not show up to play until one 30 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:13,760 Speaker 1: of the defense is made a play that helped seal 31 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:17,880 Speaker 1: the game. There's a rollicking game. It's like a seven 32 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:21,120 Speaker 1: on seven drill for both teams. We were on Sky 33 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:23,880 Speaker 1: Sports West and I and the first thing they were asking, like, 34 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 1: how do you assess this performance? Just back and forth, 35 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:30,480 Speaker 1: ping pong, And to me, it was like two drunk 36 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 1: cousins playing Madden and like literally scrapping any element of defense. No, 37 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,120 Speaker 1: I mean there was literally no punt by the Patriots 38 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,679 Speaker 1: the entire game. There were so many oddities about this game. 39 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 1: It was incredible. There there was not a stop in 40 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 1: the second half other than that Brandon Graham force fumble 41 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:51,800 Speaker 1: every other possession and the end of the game that 42 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 1: the Patriots couldn't come up with. Every other possession was 43 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 1: a touchdown, and in a game where there was so 44 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:00,960 Speaker 1: there was so little separating the two teams because the 45 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 1: offenses just absolutely embarrassed both of the defenses. Overall, they 46 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 1: were just little kind of game management moments where the 47 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:14,080 Speaker 1: Eagles were better. The Eagles closed out the first half 48 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 1: with a touchdown, which has kind of been the Patriots move. 49 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 1: The Patriots gave away more points on special teams than 50 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,079 Speaker 1: the Eagles, who had their own problems on special teams 51 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:25,240 Speaker 1: as well, but the Patriots are the ones that gave 52 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 1: away more points. And unlike third and fourth down, a 53 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 1: lot of the plays Nick Foles made were just money plays. 54 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 1: And maybe that's why it's not hitting me as hard 55 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 1: right now, because I honestly think like he just made 56 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 1: those plays and the receivers made those plays. It took 57 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 1: incredible plays on drive after driving, third down and fourth 58 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 1: down after fourth down for them to come out on top. Yeah, 59 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 1: the mistakes from the Patriots end. Brady drops the pass 60 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 1: when he goes out as a wide receiver on third down. Uh, 61 00:03:56,880 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 1: he scrambles ill advisedly at the end of the half, 62 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 1: taking away a chance maybe for a field goal drive 63 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 1: the end of the first half. Yeah, Chris Hogan drops 64 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 1: a pass late in the game. Brandon Cook's lack of 65 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 1: peripheral vision knocked him out of the game because he 66 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 1: didn't see Malcolm Jenkins coming that you have to be 67 00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 1: able to see that player coming all over. On the 68 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 1: flip side, the Eagles sort of had done what they've 69 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 1: done all year, incredibly daring do going forward on fourth 70 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 1: and one at one point, which didn't even seem that 71 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,280 Speaker 1: unusual for them because that's who they are this year. 72 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 1: And just I thought that they pushed New England's defense 73 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 1: around daring do a little bit of Darren do, a 74 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 1: little bit of that. It's like one it's six new 75 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 1: words are coming out old phrases. Listen, the Patriots didn't 76 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:42,960 Speaker 1: execute the way you would expect in this game, and 77 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:44,680 Speaker 1: even at the end of the game, and we'll get 78 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,680 Speaker 1: to it when when everyone and their brother and their 79 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 1: sister believed that Tom Brady was going to just lead 80 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 1: him down the field and it didn't happen. But Nick Foles, 81 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:57,119 Speaker 1: to me, is the story of this game, beyond anything else. 82 00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:02,720 Speaker 1: Nick Foles, who was pot sitively Mundane uh in each 83 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:06,360 Speaker 1: of his first or many of his UH starts to 84 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,359 Speaker 1: start after he replaced Carson Wentz. He played well against 85 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:10,720 Speaker 1: the Giants and then he kind of went in the 86 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:15,600 Speaker 1: tank for three weeks and he was okay, too good 87 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 1: depending what you think, in the Falcons game, and then 88 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 1: lights out an NFC title game and a Super Bowl performance, 89 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,000 Speaker 1: and he was awarded with an m v P. Oh, 90 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,039 Speaker 1: I didn't see a car as we look down on 91 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,120 Speaker 1: the field. I guess they don't give away a car 92 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:28,680 Speaker 1: to the m v P anymore. I mean, I can 93 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 1: he's gonna be able to have a Nick Foles. What 94 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:35,160 Speaker 1: he did these past three weeks in these two games 95 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 1: was remarkable. Like he played. I wouldn't say he was 96 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:43,480 Speaker 1: better than Tom Brady today because Brady was tremendous as 97 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 1: he always is on the stage. But he he went 98 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,039 Speaker 1: punch for punch with the greatest quarterback ever. Who saw 99 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,760 Speaker 1: that coming. When I talked to Johnny Filippo, the quarterback 100 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:53,800 Speaker 1: coach for the Eagles, and this was off the record, 101 00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 1: but at the end of the conversation, I was just 102 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,040 Speaker 1: basically talked a little bit about Folds. He's like, Fools 103 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,240 Speaker 1: is such a high character guy. We loved Nick Rolls. 104 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,039 Speaker 1: He's just such a such a guy that everyone believes 105 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 1: in and so it's that's great the person. But then 106 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 1: he said, no, no, the player. He said, this team 107 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:09,680 Speaker 1: is totally bought into what Nick Foles had don't know 108 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 1: the past couple of weeks. He said, we're gonna beat 109 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,800 Speaker 1: New England. He was ultra confident, and this Eagles team 110 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:18,320 Speaker 1: all week long expressed total confidence in their quarterback and 111 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:21,160 Speaker 1: in themselves. It nearly became the first Super Bowl in 112 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,719 Speaker 1: history with zero sacks. I mean, it's one of the 113 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:25,520 Speaker 1: other way till the last three minutes for that to happen, 114 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:27,160 Speaker 1: and it changed this game. It's one of the best 115 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:30,960 Speaker 1: quarterback performances in a Super Bowl period. You don't need 116 00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:34,920 Speaker 1: uh qualifier that it was Nick Foles or in Tom 117 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:37,039 Speaker 1: Brady was great in this game too. I'm sure there's 118 00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:39,040 Speaker 1: someplace he would take back. But he had five five 119 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 1: yards against a great defense, So that's that's not the point. 120 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,680 Speaker 1: The point is he had a low percentage throws Nick 121 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:46,800 Speaker 1: Foles did, I mean throws that were not easy. I'm 122 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 1: thinking about the play to agil Are on their final 123 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,200 Speaker 1: drive where where he's on the run there's a couple 124 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,719 Speaker 1: of different plays where he threw it on a dime 125 00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,360 Speaker 1: on the sideline. Think about the touchdown passes. The throw 126 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,000 Speaker 1: to Jeffrey was a very different called throat, the throw 127 00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:04,119 Speaker 1: to Clement, which I think, I mean, there's so many, 128 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:08,360 Speaker 1: but that's a play that's on third and six. It's 129 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:10,920 Speaker 1: a turkey whole shot. As John Gruden would say, the 130 00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 1: safety is coming over. You need to have. Basically every 131 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,440 Speaker 1: skill that a quarterback needs to have is on that throw. 132 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 1: And he puts it right on the money, and his 133 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 1: receivers came through and made great place for him. They did, 134 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:22,680 Speaker 1: and I thought it was a little bit of psychological 135 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:26,520 Speaker 1: war for after Brady wide open dropped that pass that 136 00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:29,680 Speaker 1: we mentioned that you turn around and have Nick Full's 137 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 1: score on a receiving that he called it. Yeah, he 138 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 1: was out of his mind in this game. He he 139 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:38,200 Speaker 1: showed up to play. I think the Eagles they deserve 140 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:40,760 Speaker 1: so much credit an underdog three weeks in a row 141 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:44,600 Speaker 1: in the playoffs and speaking to a Sparrow at our 142 00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:49,120 Speaker 1: beautiful hotel and by the way, we crushed the over Fridays. 143 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,800 Speaker 1: It was close, but then Friday turned into Saturday and 144 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,600 Speaker 1: it was the contest was well, it was left in tatters. 145 00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:57,040 Speaker 1: We had a terrific meet up with our listeners, thanks 146 00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:59,320 Speaker 1: to everyone that was came by. And I think, you know, 147 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 1: the number is when you look at the box score, 148 00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 1: it won't say that I had, you know, necessarily a 149 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:06,880 Speaker 1: huge impact. But I think you were basically Malcolm Butler. 150 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,360 Speaker 1: But I think now that's not true. I think I 151 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 1: think the emotional the emotional lift that I gave the 152 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,520 Speaker 1: team on Friday night, because frankly, I put in more 153 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:21,480 Speaker 1: hours at that tweet up than anybody else from beginning 154 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:25,040 Speaker 1: to end, carrying this one unnamed person out of that bar. 155 00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 1: I'm saying I was there, and I'm just saying this narrative, 156 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,480 Speaker 1: this era that I gave everyone from beginning night is 157 00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:35,880 Speaker 1: definitely it was definitely a quantity over quality scenario for you, Greg, 158 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 1: but we do appreciate your like Malcolm Butler, who no 159 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,839 Speaker 1: showed Sunday, Greg no showed Saturday night. So it all 160 00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:44,000 Speaker 1: it all even does No Saturday night was a second 161 00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:45,600 Speaker 1: part of it. Now you were you were like we 162 00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 1: had Patriots friends from all over Wilbraham, Massachusetts, Minniesak Regional. 163 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 1: We're out to dinner whereout the t g I Fridays 164 00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:55,320 Speaker 1: in the world mixed with your glory, there was certainly 165 00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:58,040 Speaker 1: an aspect of hell turn to You know, we were 166 00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 1: there quietly working on this here all week, and you 167 00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:04,400 Speaker 1: kind of just left us hanging and then swooped swooped 168 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:06,360 Speaker 1: in when the when the party was happening, and then 169 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:09,040 Speaker 1: we get it. I said the over under the second 170 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:10,960 Speaker 1: and went up. I said, there's no problem, that thing's 171 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,160 Speaker 1: going over you wait, you're you had a little bit 172 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:14,800 Speaker 1: of blood in your hands at the over under two 173 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:17,800 Speaker 1: mark in what way. A bit of a bit later arrival, 174 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,000 Speaker 1: some people were grumbling by Oh, here's the thing. I 175 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:21,640 Speaker 1: showed up on time. I had a good friend and 176 00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:24,719 Speaker 1: you met up. He brought his baby to the meet 177 00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 1: up and realized that the scene was a bit too 178 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:29,000 Speaker 1: chaotic for a baby, So I spent some quality time 179 00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:31,120 Speaker 1: with him and his family, and then he returned last 180 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,160 Speaker 1: night to help with you over. So my, what I 181 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:34,880 Speaker 1: was gonna say, it was so yeah, thank you everybody 182 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:36,719 Speaker 1: that came out. It was great. We haven't met a 183 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 1: dude that's seven ft three. That is awesome. Just to 184 00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:41,720 Speaker 1: get a seven footer in your fan base, that's that's 185 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:43,640 Speaker 1: big at one point him standing next to like a 186 00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:47,600 Speaker 1: much shorter Patriots fan and not Greg. It's separate, a 187 00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:51,520 Speaker 1: different person. So what are the other people that we 188 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,920 Speaker 1: converse with around the in the NFL football? Gagna Centi, 189 00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:59,160 Speaker 1: a sparrow I'll call him, told me that a prominent 190 00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:04,280 Speaker 1: figure within the within the Eagles, UH, expressed total confidence 191 00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:07,680 Speaker 1: that the Eagles would put up forty on the Patriots, 192 00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,480 Speaker 1: and they did just that. They This team was confident 193 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:12,679 Speaker 1: going into this game, and they played that way. So 194 00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:16,160 Speaker 1: let's now kind of go through the game, UM, quarterby quarter. 195 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:19,720 Speaker 1: Maybe we'll touch on JT's halftime show as well, UH, 196 00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:23,160 Speaker 1: and we'll catch up on our our props, UH super 197 00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:25,040 Speaker 1: Bowl props that we made. How how we all did. 198 00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:28,360 Speaker 1: But let's start with the first quarter and the Patriots 199 00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:33,320 Speaker 1: when the win the toss, they elect to receive UH 200 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,760 Speaker 1: in the second half, as they like to do. But 201 00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 1: the Eagles right away West did exactly what what they 202 00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 1: wanted to do, and they probably would as if they 203 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:47,280 Speaker 1: did anything not perfectly. On offenses, Brady was on the 204 00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:49,199 Speaker 1: field a lot and scoring every time. They didn't have 205 00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:51,839 Speaker 1: a lot of clock chewing drives except for the first one, 206 00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:54,120 Speaker 1: and their last one or their second to last. When 207 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,559 Speaker 1: the first drive was a great drive, it's stalled, it's 208 00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:58,920 Speaker 1: stalled at the goal line. But seven minutes of the 209 00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:03,960 Speaker 1: clock they get a wild Eagles crowd, uh right into 210 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,040 Speaker 1: the game with a nice scoring drive. Well, let's go 211 00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:08,120 Speaker 1: back to Malcolm Butler again, because this is the big 212 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,439 Speaker 1: mystery of the game, and the Eagles came out and 213 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 1: immediately attacked Eric Rowe uh and Jordan Richards and Jonathan Batamosi. 214 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,280 Speaker 1: Malcolm Butler doesn't play a single snap. He played more 215 00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:21,200 Speaker 1: snaps than any defensive player on the Patriots this season. 216 00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:24,439 Speaker 1: Nobody can figure out exactly why he didn't play. There 217 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:27,480 Speaker 1: were some illness issues during the week, but that that 218 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:29,719 Speaker 1: showed up on the very first drive of the game. Yeah, 219 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:34,920 Speaker 1: there's for some backstory. He took a Patriots private plane 220 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:38,760 Speaker 1: by himself or if a plane by himself and got 221 00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,920 Speaker 1: to the team later in the week, which now you 222 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,320 Speaker 1: look back at and you wonder was what was what 223 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 1: was going on with that? They said he was sick, 224 00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,480 Speaker 1: but he did wind up practicing later in the week. 225 00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:51,400 Speaker 1: And I think you know too, if we're going to 226 00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:54,560 Speaker 1: talk about Butler, now, probably the most telling quote after 227 00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,720 Speaker 1: the game was Eric Rowe was asked about it and 228 00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:00,440 Speaker 1: he said, you know, was that the plan? You know, 229 00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 1: did you expect to replace Malcolm Butler? And he said 230 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:05,880 Speaker 1: that wasn't the plan. Well, and another telling quote, I 231 00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:08,040 Speaker 1: don't I think he doesn't know what to say. Another 232 00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:10,400 Speaker 1: telling quote was Malcolm Butler after the game saying that 233 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:12,320 Speaker 1: the team gave up on him. There's a quote, So 234 00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:15,839 Speaker 1: they gave up on me. F that's the F word. 235 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,400 Speaker 1: It is what it is. So that is you know. 236 00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:22,559 Speaker 1: And I know Erica tam Posey, the loose cannon, who's 237 00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:26,320 Speaker 1: very emotional, She's a huge Patriots fan, upset about the outcome. 238 00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:28,520 Speaker 1: I think there are a lot of people like Erica 239 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,080 Speaker 1: that right now are dealing with anger that how did 240 00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:35,199 Speaker 1: our defense get completely butchered in this game? And arguably 241 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:40,080 Speaker 1: our top quarnerback or top two cornerback was benched for 242 00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:42,920 Speaker 1: something that might maybe not the right time for that. 243 00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:45,240 Speaker 1: We don't know what the true story is, but Belichick 244 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:49,080 Speaker 1: moves in mysterious ways. It's It's really interesting because I 245 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:51,240 Speaker 1: think back to the a f C Championship game a 246 00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:54,600 Speaker 1: year ago, and I remember coming out of that locker 247 00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:57,880 Speaker 1: room and asking another reporter what was up with Malcolm Butler, 248 00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:01,120 Speaker 1: because he kind of seemed not that thrilled that they 249 00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:02,720 Speaker 1: won the game, or just he had a he had 250 00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:05,400 Speaker 1: a strange vibe about him. And you know, the reporter 251 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:08,080 Speaker 1: had said to me that that's kind of been his 252 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,320 Speaker 1: his deal all season, and that was a season ago 253 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:13,320 Speaker 1: where he wasn't happy necessarily with the team. I don't 254 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:15,320 Speaker 1: know what was going on, but there was drama going 255 00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:18,320 Speaker 1: on behind the scenes. And this guy, who I have 256 00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:21,840 Speaker 1: said on this podcast many times my favorite Patriots player 257 00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,800 Speaker 1: of the last decade. It is sad to see kind 258 00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:27,360 Speaker 1: of like one of the the author of one of 259 00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:29,880 Speaker 1: the great play Super Bowl moments ever, one of the 260 00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:32,400 Speaker 1: great underdogs ever, to have kind of this as the 261 00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:35,079 Speaker 1: book end for his Patriots career. It's pretty sad. Crazy. 262 00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:37,600 Speaker 1: So they kick a field goal, the Patriots go right 263 00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:39,680 Speaker 1: down the field, they kick a field goal, and then 264 00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:41,960 Speaker 1: the first touchdown on the on the game comes on 265 00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:44,520 Speaker 1: a bang, bang bang, And again what is going on 266 00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:47,040 Speaker 1: with the Patriots defense? Right out of the gate, three 267 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:50,880 Speaker 1: plays seventy seven yards Nick Foles uh in his first 268 00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:54,679 Speaker 1: big money throw of the game. Spots alshon Jeffrey Hood 269 00:13:54,720 --> 00:14:00,840 Speaker 1: a nice first season in phillydentity full but the motion 270 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:07,920 Speaker 1: first time he stops, he was going clock by all 271 00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:12,800 Speaker 1: cluck cock song. So Jeffrey makes the thirty four yard 272 00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:15,920 Speaker 1: touchdown catch, the extra point is no good. It goes 273 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:19,360 Speaker 1: wide right. Uh So the first quarter ends with the 274 00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:24,480 Speaker 1: Eagles up nine three. That reminds me of two different 275 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:27,920 Speaker 1: to play sequences in the first half where the Eagles 276 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,800 Speaker 1: hit him for big games on back to back plays, 277 00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:32,480 Speaker 1: and that that was one of them. I mean, you 278 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:34,080 Speaker 1: hit him for thirty six on a run, then you 279 00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:35,600 Speaker 1: hit him what was it for thirty four in a 280 00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:37,760 Speaker 1: pass something like that, and they did it again in 281 00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:39,920 Speaker 1: a later drive, and it was like it was like 282 00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:42,160 Speaker 1: the play calling by Peters and it was like they 283 00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:46,000 Speaker 1: were throwing combination punches and the Patriots were always guessing 284 00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:48,480 Speaker 1: wrong and kind of playing behind, and they would hit 285 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:50,280 Speaker 1: him with these two straight You just don't see that. 286 00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:52,400 Speaker 1: You know that's not Ben, but don't break. That's just 287 00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:54,800 Speaker 1: you're just broken. You were asking a lot from this 288 00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:57,520 Speaker 1: offense to come out and make big play after big play, 289 00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:00,160 Speaker 1: and right away you could tell that everyone was on 290 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:04,280 Speaker 1: the same page. The Eagles on third down were unbelievable, 291 00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:07,880 Speaker 1: extending drives over and over, and it wasn't. They were 292 00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:10,080 Speaker 1: the farthest thing from conservative and they were the more 293 00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:12,640 Speaker 1: balanced offense I thought out of the gate because they 294 00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:14,760 Speaker 1: could run the ball well and Garrett Blunt and crew 295 00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,240 Speaker 1: really had their way with New England. There was some 296 00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:20,200 Speaker 1: huge holes they were running through, so right away. Foals 297 00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:23,760 Speaker 1: had two big third down throws on that first that 298 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,480 Speaker 1: first drive, and you could tell they were on So 299 00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:31,640 Speaker 1: nine three, the Pats miss a field goal and it 300 00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:35,200 Speaker 1: comes on a a bad snap. They get deep in 301 00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:37,920 Speaker 1: territory again. So there the Patriots never had trouble moving 302 00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:40,640 Speaker 1: the ball. Their quarterback through for five yards. Oh my god, 303 00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:43,240 Speaker 1: Tom Brady, there's no there's no such thing as a 304 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:45,600 Speaker 1: record book anymore for quarterbacks in the playoffs and in 305 00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:47,960 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. He has just put so much distance 306 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:50,960 Speaker 1: between himself and everyone. Uh. But they go straight down 307 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,320 Speaker 1: the field and again this is not the Patriots that 308 00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:57,720 Speaker 1: we expect at this level. Bad snap Das Tawski gets 309 00:15:57,760 --> 00:15:59,240 Speaker 1: in a tough spot where he has to stutter and 310 00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:01,480 Speaker 1: then he hits the upright with the kick and there 311 00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:03,800 Speaker 1: it is Greg I mean, that's that again, is a 312 00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:05,840 Speaker 1: Pats fan, I'm sure you're feeling like, oh, I can't 313 00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:08,720 Speaker 1: leave points on the board with the way my defense looks. Right. Yeah, 314 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,080 Speaker 1: they ended up giving away four points and special teams 315 00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:14,200 Speaker 1: uh three there with the bad snap seven to when 316 00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:16,680 Speaker 1: they eschewed a fifty two York field goal to throw 317 00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:19,520 Speaker 1: a deep ball to grunk down the sideline. That's another 318 00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:23,040 Speaker 1: miss three points in in that moment, which Dan and 319 00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:25,840 Speaker 1: I had had a great uh you know view of 320 00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:28,600 Speaker 1: because our friends at Sky Sports welcomed all four of 321 00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:30,960 Speaker 1: us down in two different segments and we were down 322 00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,640 Speaker 1: there for that missfield goal, which had a great view 323 00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:36,040 Speaker 1: of that miss. We need to get our seats down 324 00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:40,320 Speaker 1: there that but it was beautiful to be as part 325 00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:42,960 Speaker 1: of their podcast. The play before that, though, was one 326 00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:44,960 Speaker 1: of the big defensive plays in the In the game, 327 00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:48,200 Speaker 1: Rodney McCleod takes down Brandon Cooks one on one. Cooks 328 00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:50,960 Speaker 1: has gotta you know, make him miss. Instead he tries 329 00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:54,040 Speaker 1: to jump over him and that's that takes maybe seven 330 00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:55,880 Speaker 1: points off the board. And even though the Eagles even 331 00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:59,600 Speaker 1: was terrible really overall in this game, they didn't make 332 00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:03,080 Speaker 1: three or four plays and it's like sometimes that's what 333 00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:06,080 Speaker 1: it comes down to. They their individuals, including McLeod on 334 00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:09,040 Speaker 1: that play made a couple of big time plays, and 335 00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:12,560 Speaker 1: that was one of them. The Eagles then get on 336 00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:15,239 Speaker 1: the board again at le Garrett Blunt uh twenty one 337 00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:18,960 Speaker 1: yard touchdown run. They go for two. Uh. At this 338 00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:21,160 Speaker 1: point I thought that was an interesting move. At the time, 339 00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:25,040 Speaker 1: it seemed maybe early. They were fifteen three. They fail again. 340 00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:28,119 Speaker 1: The one thing the Eagles failed on offense uh in 341 00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:30,879 Speaker 1: this game was two point conversions that felt twice in 342 00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:34,000 Speaker 1: addition to missing an extra point. I know and I 343 00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:35,919 Speaker 1: and I called the missed extra point, and I had 344 00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:37,919 Speaker 1: said that that was going to be the difference in 345 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,639 Speaker 1: a one point Patriots win. And at one point it 346 00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:42,639 Speaker 1: was thirty three to thirty two in the fourth quarter 347 00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:45,000 Speaker 1: with a mixed extra point on the board. So far, 348 00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:48,720 Speaker 1: so far? Would you say, Greg that I am being 349 00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:50,679 Speaker 1: a class act so far? Like some people would think 350 00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:53,800 Speaker 1: I'd come out and be gloating. So far, total pro very, classy. 351 00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:56,360 Speaker 1: I's been a fine day for all of that. Yes, 352 00:17:56,440 --> 00:18:00,639 Speaker 1: you're you're a classy guy. Uh So fifth team six 353 00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:04,560 Speaker 1: now and you're thinking to yourself, oh boy, are the 354 00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:06,439 Speaker 1: Patriots about to fall into a deep hole? But it 355 00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:09,720 Speaker 1: never really happened that way. Fifteen six after this point, 356 00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:13,560 Speaker 1: it's kind of a back and forth affair. UM, James 357 00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:17,320 Speaker 1: White scores a rushing touchdown, uh, and then the Eagles. 358 00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:21,760 Speaker 1: The Eagles score again, they can't get a stop, and 359 00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:25,040 Speaker 1: it happens in a very interesting way. UM. Let me 360 00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:28,320 Speaker 1: go back first and say this. There was a huge play. 361 00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:32,480 Speaker 1: And we've represent twice with Tom Brady with the Patriots 362 00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:36,800 Speaker 1: and Josh McDaniels and maybe maybe his last game. Maybe 363 00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:39,280 Speaker 1: we'll see there's a report out there that McDaniels might 364 00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:41,359 Speaker 1: not be ready to move on and which would leave 365 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:44,240 Speaker 1: the Colts in a very bad way. But a huge 366 00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:48,280 Speaker 1: play in which Tom Brady was the intended receiver, and 367 00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:51,920 Speaker 1: we have not heard from our boys, Scotty Zolac yet. Uh. 368 00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:55,159 Speaker 1: The let's listen to the play in the second quarter 369 00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:58,120 Speaker 1: in which Tom Brady uh had a chance to score 370 00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:02,119 Speaker 1: touchdown with his legs in his hand, staff to Britty 371 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:04,439 Speaker 1: could give to James One pictures it back to Danny Emmadol. 372 00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:10,280 Speaker 1: He throws a lotty and Peel played the Patriots pull 373 00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:14,000 Speaker 1: out of play from a twenty fifteen game against them, 374 00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:17,560 Speaker 1: throwing it to Britty Because we didn't hear Zolac, he 375 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:20,160 Speaker 1: was just about deciding he was probably you know, Zolac 376 00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:24,679 Speaker 1: probably was next level. I've heard I've heard some like 377 00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:28,840 Speaker 1: uh inside uh info that Zolac very quiet in this 378 00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:33,040 Speaker 1: game at certain stretches, certainly their extend. So the Patriots 379 00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:36,199 Speaker 1: are unable to come through there. I think he's going in. 380 00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:39,760 Speaker 1: I think he makes a couple of guys missed. He 381 00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:41,920 Speaker 1: wasn't going in out of bounds like two ft later. 382 00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:44,359 Speaker 1: I think Brady cost him six on the play. But 383 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:46,680 Speaker 1: this was this was an arena I used to cover 384 00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:50,040 Speaker 1: the Arena League for like one month when that Roader 385 00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:52,320 Speaker 1: World and Arena League games is all about getting like 386 00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:54,480 Speaker 1: one year two stops, and there really were only like 387 00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:56,960 Speaker 1: two stops by the Eagles all game. And so this 388 00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:59,880 Speaker 1: this miss ended up feeling like a huge mistake because 389 00:19:59,880 --> 00:20:02,520 Speaker 1: it was one of those two stops. You say, arena ball, 390 00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:06,640 Speaker 1: I say, Rocky four. It's like there's no defense. Rocky's 391 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:09,919 Speaker 1: just like holding Draco with his left hand and punching 392 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:11,760 Speaker 1: him the whole time, and Draco is doing the same 393 00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:14,520 Speaker 1: to Rocky. That's what this football game was. Yeah, So 394 00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:17,200 Speaker 1: the Patriots missing an opportunity. Whether or not you think 395 00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,080 Speaker 1: he's gonna make some moves and getting the end zone. 396 00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:22,240 Speaker 1: It's probably a twenty five yard game. Calm down, Maybe 397 00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:25,720 Speaker 1: he doesn't score a touchdown the Patriots. Did you miss 398 00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:28,200 Speaker 1: the scrambled play when he had a tanyard head start 399 00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:32,040 Speaker 1: on Brandon Graham down second? I think he would. I 400 00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:35,320 Speaker 1: think he's got some quick twitch because of all the 401 00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:38,960 Speaker 1: elastic fans anyway, So now Brady doesn't get it done 402 00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:41,879 Speaker 1: with his hands. However, there's another quarterback. This to me 403 00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:44,000 Speaker 1: was kind of the biggest play of the game on 404 00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:46,159 Speaker 1: some level, or at least at this stage. Greg you 405 00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:49,840 Speaker 1: wrote about it, uh afterward, and it's up on NFL 406 00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:54,680 Speaker 1: dot com slash Rosenthal. Uh. The the Eagles doing what 407 00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:58,760 Speaker 1: other teams had failed to do against the Patriots in 408 00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:01,440 Speaker 1: the big money spots, and this came on a fourth down, 409 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:05,080 Speaker 1: uh near It was a long one, almost two yards 410 00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:08,960 Speaker 1: late in the first half, and the Eagles take out 411 00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:15,159 Speaker 1: their bag of tricks to score another touchdown. Woes to 412 00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:19,040 Speaker 1: the runner goes directly to common Clement Well Versus said, 413 00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:22,880 Speaker 1: I have a past the outcome to touchdow on their 414 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:28,960 Speaker 1: phone listen a little round town. I mean, that's a 415 00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:31,520 Speaker 1: painful thing to listen to for me, for for many reasons, 416 00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:33,280 Speaker 1: but one of which is that Jay Burton threw that 417 00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:36,400 Speaker 1: touchdown pass. Yeah, you gotta get that right, But that 418 00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:41,040 Speaker 1: was Greg Walla walla onion hanger right there. Uh, to 419 00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:44,640 Speaker 1: involve your to do a trick play because at three 420 00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:47,560 Speaker 1: points lead right there. I like that they went for it. 421 00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:50,720 Speaker 1: But then they also said, we love our playbook and 422 00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:53,600 Speaker 1: we're gonna take one and stick it to Billy Boy. 423 00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:56,560 Speaker 1: And they did. That play was called Philly spa show 424 00:21:56,600 --> 00:22:00,080 Speaker 1: you a little bit of all gone huge unions. And 425 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:03,439 Speaker 1: it took onions, and it took planning. It was a 426 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:06,280 Speaker 1: play they actually had in for the Minnesota games. So 427 00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:09,119 Speaker 1: it's not like he suddenly saw Tom Brady drop a 428 00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:11,200 Speaker 1: pass and they're like, oh, I really want to stick 429 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:14,080 Speaker 1: it to the page. That's what it was by just 430 00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:16,520 Speaker 1: like creating this play to you know, mock them almost. 431 00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:18,720 Speaker 1: It was a play they almost called against Minnesota. He 432 00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:22,000 Speaker 1: says they stole it essentially from the Bears, who ran 433 00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:25,240 Speaker 1: it on Alson, you know, als On Jeffrey's team a 434 00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:27,800 Speaker 1: year ago. It worked for the Bears, then it worked 435 00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:31,200 Speaker 1: for the Eagles here and the most surprising thing I heard, 436 00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:33,480 Speaker 1: I think after the game about was Burton saying, oh, 437 00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:35,119 Speaker 1: when we do that in practice, you can throw the 438 00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:37,760 Speaker 1: ball anywhere to Nick Foles. Because Nick Foles so athletic, 439 00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:40,679 Speaker 1: he'll catch it, doesn't matter if he's covered or if not, 440 00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:43,520 Speaker 1: He's gonna make that play. And I'm like, like, really, 441 00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:45,520 Speaker 1: Nick Foles, is Jerry Rice out there? And you had 442 00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:46,960 Speaker 1: a great tweet about that. I mean, it was a 443 00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:49,960 Speaker 1: killer turn of events from New England because when before 444 00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:53,520 Speaker 1: the New England scored, James White's twenty six yard run 445 00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:56,600 Speaker 1: to go essentially put them down fifteen twelve, and I 446 00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:59,320 Speaker 1: turned to West and Greg and said, New England's winning 447 00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:01,359 Speaker 1: this game. I just I and I and I have 448 00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:03,000 Speaker 1: a pretty good record when I do that. I was 449 00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:05,840 Speaker 1: way off base this time. You also said they scored 450 00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:08,439 Speaker 1: too early. They scored too because you gave the Eagles 451 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:11,040 Speaker 1: a little over two minutes and the way these teams 452 00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:13,160 Speaker 1: were both moving the ball, that's way too much time. 453 00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:16,040 Speaker 1: And so to go cap off the first half with 454 00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:18,359 Speaker 1: that to go up ten right before the half, I 455 00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:20,399 Speaker 1: thought that was an absolute killer turn of events for 456 00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:23,639 Speaker 1: New England. That was maybe the ballsiest Super Bowl call 457 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:25,920 Speaker 1: since Sean Payton's on side kick to start the third 458 00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:29,680 Speaker 1: quarter in the Saint super Bowl victory. And I can't 459 00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:33,320 Speaker 1: say enough good things about this offensive coaching staff, their 460 00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:38,280 Speaker 1: creative play design, they're timely play calling, and god, I 461 00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:42,080 Speaker 1: hope as much as team copycat against teams that win 462 00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:44,480 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, I hope so many more coaches become 463 00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:47,680 Speaker 1: aggressive on fourth down in key situations like Doug Peterson 464 00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:51,480 Speaker 1: has been all year, even with this an own announcers 465 00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:54,440 Speaker 1: questioning him on it, and you're you're right, like that 466 00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:58,080 Speaker 1: was maybe not even the gutsiest fourth down call or 467 00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:02,679 Speaker 1: call that Peterson made in the game. I mean, yeah, no, 468 00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:05,280 Speaker 1: the whole thing is crazy. I love that. And he 469 00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:07,359 Speaker 1: said that throughout the week as players all said that 470 00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:10,120 Speaker 1: after the game that pregame throughout the week, Frank Rank 471 00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:12,720 Speaker 1: has coach said it said, We're gonna be aggressive, whether 472 00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:15,840 Speaker 1: we're ahead, whether we're behind, just expect it for sixty minutes. 473 00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:19,200 Speaker 1: That's how we roll. So that made it twelve and 474 00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:22,720 Speaker 1: even better, it happened so late in the quarter that 475 00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:24,840 Speaker 1: the Patriots were not able to do the thing they 476 00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:26,560 Speaker 1: love to do, which is they left to bang you 477 00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:28,560 Speaker 1: with a score right at the end of the half, 478 00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:31,560 Speaker 1: then get the ball back and then score again. And 479 00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:33,679 Speaker 1: it's a move I do and matten all the time. 480 00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:36,040 Speaker 1: I think I learned it from Bill Parcels and Bill Belichick, 481 00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:39,320 Speaker 1: or they learned it from you potentially. No, but that's 482 00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:42,520 Speaker 1: cool too. I like that idea. Um So, anyway, we're 483 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:46,600 Speaker 1: at halftime. Uh, justin Timberley comes out. I I like 484 00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:49,480 Speaker 1: to call it, and I gotta be careful with my 485 00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:51,919 Speaker 1: words because tampost he's already on edge a little bit. 486 00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:56,679 Speaker 1: She's untilt. But I enjoyed the show. She's looking at 487 00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:59,240 Speaker 1: me right now. I enjoyed the show. I thought it 488 00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:03,000 Speaker 1: was workman lie Uh he did an eleven song medley. 489 00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:05,280 Speaker 1: I do have one hot take about it, But I 490 00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:08,200 Speaker 1: want to hear your guys thoughts about timber Lake. Well, 491 00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:10,800 Speaker 1: I mean I came in with very little expectations because 492 00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:13,880 Speaker 1: a lot of times these halftime shows, you watched them 493 00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:17,160 Speaker 1: and they look a little disheveled from the stadium itself, 494 00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:18,960 Speaker 1: or at least for worst seated. Then you see it 495 00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:22,840 Speaker 1: on television and it's a completely different experience. I found 496 00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:25,400 Speaker 1: out quickly that we had the reverse because I thought 497 00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:28,160 Speaker 1: it was fantastic here and I tweeted about I thought 498 00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:30,720 Speaker 1: I thought Erica would have loved it. And immediately start 499 00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:33,000 Speaker 1: getting peppered with tweets. I don't know what you watched, 500 00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:34,480 Speaker 1: and that's not what I saw at home, and I 501 00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:36,880 Speaker 1: guess there were some technical issues, so maybe on TV 502 00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:38,920 Speaker 1: it didn't play this well. I thought he knocked it 503 00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:41,920 Speaker 1: out the park from where we were. I mean, I 504 00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:43,879 Speaker 1: don't think I'm the target audience, but I guess what 505 00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:46,400 Speaker 1: I was next to the West West was doing football stuff. 506 00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:48,160 Speaker 1: He was being a good football writer, not really paying 507 00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:49,800 Speaker 1: at day. I could not have been more bored. But 508 00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:53,600 Speaker 1: the performance, which I think you accurately described as workman like, 509 00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:55,280 Speaker 1: which is not what I'm looking for in a Super 510 00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:57,880 Speaker 1: Bowl halftime show. I feel like I have so many 511 00:25:57,920 --> 00:25:59,560 Speaker 1: hot takes on the rest of the game that I 512 00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:02,280 Speaker 1: should just leave the Florida You okay here, Who am 513 00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:04,639 Speaker 1: I the one defending the halftime show? I find probably 514 00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,200 Speaker 1: the first time happened, I thought it was a good show, 515 00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:10,679 Speaker 1: and I have my my fire take is that everybody 516 00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:13,680 Speaker 1: calmed down with their big think pieces that are coming 517 00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:18,639 Speaker 1: tomorrow about how Timberlake somehow disrespected Prince by honoring him 518 00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:21,800 Speaker 1: in Minnesota, where the dude was from. It's like, how 519 00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:25,040 Speaker 1: dare you use a hologram. First of all, you know, 520 00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:27,040 Speaker 1: grow up, Peter Pan, know what it is. It's not 521 00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:30,880 Speaker 1: a hologram. It was a projection. Okay, So they did 522 00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:33,679 Speaker 1: a projection that I thought was artfully done, and it 523 00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:38,080 Speaker 1: called back to Prince's own legendary halftime performance. But everybody 524 00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:40,440 Speaker 1: needs something to get fired up about and a little 525 00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:43,160 Speaker 1: hot take machine. Nobody's happy unless they're offended. And then 526 00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:45,199 Speaker 1: it's like we already we already had the Janet thing 527 00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:46,760 Speaker 1: in the holster and we're ready to do that. But 528 00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:49,200 Speaker 1: let's get out of about honoring Prince. Is that where 529 00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:51,840 Speaker 1: we are society we expecting that to happen. We don't. 530 00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:55,679 Speaker 1: So we didn't want Prince honored in Minnesota, that's what 531 00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:58,840 Speaker 1: you wanted. Well, the Prince had, you know, thrown some 532 00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:01,359 Speaker 1: notable shade at j. T. Was not a fan of 533 00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:04,040 Speaker 1: him throughout his career, and so the Prince fans they 534 00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:07,280 Speaker 1: got up in took the high road. Now here's all right, 535 00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:09,240 Speaker 1: here's my other hot take, and Beyonce I did the 536 00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:13,480 Speaker 1: same thing. Everybody would have been like, genius, she's done 537 00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:17,000 Speaker 1: it again. All right. At the end of the halftime 538 00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:19,199 Speaker 1: hot takes, we moved to the third quarter and I 539 00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:22,280 Speaker 1: thought it was very notable. We're talking at halftime before 540 00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:25,000 Speaker 1: j T. I think Greg, you and I remarked, where 541 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:28,960 Speaker 1: where is Gronk in the first half? And clearly, clearly 542 00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:32,560 Speaker 1: it's you know in nineteen seven fifties football movie, and 543 00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:34,800 Speaker 1: they got the big chalkboard and it's just like throw 544 00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:37,880 Speaker 1: to Gronk all the time. Because the Patriots get the ball, 545 00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:41,040 Speaker 1: they go right down the field and they do this 546 00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:43,720 Speaker 1: on the final plot right with his left foot forward, 547 00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:46,480 Speaker 1: surveys the defense and he takes the staff from the gun, 548 00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:50,680 Speaker 1: he backs up, he throws them zone touchdown. Gronkowski and 549 00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:54,200 Speaker 1: the Patriots quite first him a second half. I'm Super 550 00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:59,639 Speaker 1: Bowl fifty two. The unstoppable Rebel forces back eight places, 551 00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,800 Speaker 1: a lack of course, eight place, seventy five yards, two minutes, 552 00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:05,400 Speaker 1: forty five seconds, Gregg, and at that point I'm thinking 553 00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:07,840 Speaker 1: to myself, Uh, if they just throw it the Gronk 554 00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:09,520 Speaker 1: every time, there's no way to lose the game. Because 555 00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:11,840 Speaker 1: he was unstoppable on that drive. I mean he was. 556 00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:14,000 Speaker 1: He ended up with a hundred and sixteen yards and 557 00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:17,000 Speaker 1: he was their third leading receiver, which is ridiculous on 558 00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:19,639 Speaker 1: its own. This is a game and that driver minded 559 00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:22,040 Speaker 1: me of it that. You know, I'm never a big 560 00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:25,120 Speaker 1: believer in momentum in general, but this is a game 561 00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:28,880 Speaker 1: where you can absolutely say there's there's no momentum going 562 00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:30,960 Speaker 1: on either way. Because every time the Patriots scored one 563 00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:33,280 Speaker 1: of these I'm like, oh, like there one of those 564 00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:35,840 Speaker 1: people who don't believe momentum exams. I mean, I don't believe. 565 00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:39,320 Speaker 1: I don't. I think there's something true to it. But basically, 566 00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:42,520 Speaker 1: every time the Patriots, too many analytics, every damn the 567 00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:45,600 Speaker 1: Patriots scored, You're thinking, Okay, here we go, and then 568 00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:48,840 Speaker 1: immediately the Eagles respond, and then immediately the Patriots respond, 569 00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:51,480 Speaker 1: and then immediately the Eagles response. You started to go 570 00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:54,400 Speaker 1: away from the momentum arguments. Realized both of these defenses 571 00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:57,280 Speaker 1: are hideous tonight. They are ultra awful. This season. It 572 00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:00,680 Speaker 1: was shocking that the Eagles couldn't rush Bradyot. Let's talk 573 00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:03,320 Speaker 1: about that for a second, because that is what in 574 00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:06,959 Speaker 1: two weeks of hype. Uh. And we had conversations about it. Greg, 575 00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:09,520 Speaker 1: you were steadfast about it, and it turns out you 576 00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:12,600 Speaker 1: were right. If you judge this game specifically, that is 577 00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:15,760 Speaker 1: good as the Patriots did in terms of limiting points 578 00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:19,480 Speaker 1: during the season. Uh, they were still, especially in the 579 00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:22,320 Speaker 1: last twelve weeks or so, they were still a team 580 00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:24,120 Speaker 1: where you could move the ball on them, and they 581 00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:26,680 Speaker 1: were helped a lot by how great the offense was 582 00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:29,120 Speaker 1: and how often they had the ball. So you kind 583 00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:32,520 Speaker 1: of I wasn't I guess stunned. Well, forty points maybe 584 00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:35,600 Speaker 1: is pretty extreme, but it wasn't stunned that the Eagles 585 00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:38,880 Speaker 1: moved the ball. But the Eagles on defense, where was 586 00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:42,280 Speaker 1: the push? Where was this fearsome pass rush? Didn't happen 587 00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:46,280 Speaker 1: until the two minutes roll right, and then yep, now 588 00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:49,160 Speaker 1: they they rushed him I think three straight plays on 589 00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:50,960 Speaker 1: the on the last time the Patriots had the ball, 590 00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:52,960 Speaker 1: and I think they ended up hitting him more times 591 00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:55,200 Speaker 1: than any teams hit him all year. But it all 592 00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:57,840 Speaker 1: happened late in the game. I was downstairs with the 593 00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:02,120 Speaker 1: Eagles after in Brandon Graham, Electric Cox, Derek Barnett, every 594 00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:04,480 Speaker 1: one of them said, here's what we said on the sideline. 595 00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:07,480 Speaker 1: It's going to take maybe the entire game, but we're 596 00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:09,480 Speaker 1: gonna get to him at some point. We have to 597 00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:11,520 Speaker 1: come up with that one play because the way this 598 00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:15,080 Speaker 1: thing was going. Whoever made the mistake, I was gonna lose. 599 00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:16,560 Speaker 1: And that's what they said, that we have to make 600 00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:19,400 Speaker 1: the Patriots, get them into a situation where Brady who 601 00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:22,040 Speaker 1: tests take too long to pass on one snap, we 602 00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:25,120 Speaker 1: take them down exactly. It was. It was surprising to 603 00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:29,800 Speaker 1: see the Patriots offensive line win that battle against Philadelphia. 604 00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:31,680 Speaker 1: I think it was. I would I would assume they 605 00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:34,200 Speaker 1: were pretty disappointed by the performance overall. I would have 606 00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:36,720 Speaker 1: never I would have never expected that they are the 607 00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:39,960 Speaker 1: first team in NFL history, regular season or postseason to 608 00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:43,480 Speaker 1: win a game. They when they gave up six yards amazing. 609 00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:46,400 Speaker 1: I mean I later in the game, when the Patriots 610 00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:49,200 Speaker 1: finally had taken the lead, I I thought they were 611 00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:51,840 Speaker 1: done at that point, because it was like that was 612 00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:54,040 Speaker 1: the start of the game. Said, you pulled me over 613 00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:56,520 Speaker 1: at that point. You were like, I'm gonna tell you 614 00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:58,960 Speaker 1: how this goes. Patriots pull it away. They're they're pulling 615 00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:01,560 Speaker 1: away and this was minutes. He's like, it's and it's 616 00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:03,200 Speaker 1: gonna end up not being that close. You but you 617 00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:05,080 Speaker 1: should know me well enough by now. But that that 618 00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:08,720 Speaker 1: was a little bit Doca Dorica and Greg Greg made 619 00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:14,720 Speaker 1: a face like no, I never never. Um So this 620 00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:17,000 Speaker 1: is when the game kind of morphs into and it did. 621 00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:19,080 Speaker 1: I did remark to Greg as well. We were sitting 622 00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:21,959 Speaker 1: not next each other, but close to each other right, 623 00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:24,200 Speaker 1: not in my lap as my original request is for 624 00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:27,160 Speaker 1: this game, but it started to feel like at a 625 00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:30,320 Speaker 1: certain point, like that great Cardinals Packers shoot out a 626 00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:34,000 Speaker 1: few years ago in the playoffs where nobody can stop anyone. 627 00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:36,680 Speaker 1: And I don't know, are you guys a fan of 628 00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:39,280 Speaker 1: this type of game, like the crazy shot, because I 629 00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:41,360 Speaker 1: kind of like the more tense affair where it's a 630 00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:44,560 Speaker 1: little a little more defensive minded, not no points, but 631 00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:47,200 Speaker 1: I was a little was like annoyed by that, like 632 00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:50,440 Speaker 1: the defense after I would typically not want this all 633 00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:52,080 Speaker 1: the time. I feel like there's all this emphasis on 634 00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:56,480 Speaker 1: non NonStop offense. I love the occasional strange like seven 635 00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:58,440 Speaker 1: to six game that feels shot out of a cannon 636 00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:01,280 Speaker 1: from five decades ago. But tonight I enjoyed it because 637 00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:03,760 Speaker 1: what we saw and look at. Had Brady ever pulled 638 00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:06,200 Speaker 1: this out, it would have been another example of total 639 00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:09,560 Speaker 1: magical artistry. But instead we got it from both quarterbacks. 640 00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:11,640 Speaker 1: So it was perfect first Super Bowl in my opinion. 641 00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:13,680 Speaker 1: I mean, it was a reminder it is it's obvious. 642 00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:16,760 Speaker 1: It's a quarterback, it's a passing it's an offensive league. 643 00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:19,120 Speaker 1: I mean, if ever there was a sign of it, 644 00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:22,520 Speaker 1: it's this game. Defense is secondary. It was action packed 645 00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:24,880 Speaker 1: and if you like big plays and momentum swings and 646 00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:28,120 Speaker 1: one team answering the other one that was fun. You'd 647 00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:31,880 Speaker 1: like to see better situational football. One team got clearly 648 00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:35,160 Speaker 1: outcoached by the other because the Patriots were mistake written 649 00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:38,480 Speaker 1: for the entire game. You're right, I'd take a Seahawks 650 00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:41,160 Speaker 1: Patriots super Bowl like that was. You know, there's enough offense, 651 00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:43,800 Speaker 1: enough defense, and the good guys one. Yeah, I like 652 00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:47,560 Speaker 1: I like those Giants Patriots super bowls personally anyway, So 653 00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:50,000 Speaker 1: ground scores and then it just becomes an arena league game. 654 00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:53,280 Speaker 1: The Eagles will go eleven plays, eighty five yards and 655 00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:56,920 Speaker 1: five minutes. Corey Clement, that is the turkey ball, right, 656 00:32:56,960 --> 00:33:00,560 Speaker 1: the turkey shot. That was beautiful. That was threatening. Needle. Yeah, 657 00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:02,480 Speaker 1: and I want we should touch on this because I 658 00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:05,800 Speaker 1: think you had a good point on this. Greg. It 659 00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:10,840 Speaker 1: seems like after the uh Jeff Jesse James touchdown was 660 00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:13,920 Speaker 1: taken away in Pittsburgh that helped give New England home 661 00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:17,160 Speaker 1: field advantage of the playoffs that even though it's not allowed, 662 00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:19,960 Speaker 1: and it would be maybe uh not something that they 663 00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:21,960 Speaker 1: would ever admit to. But it feels like the catch 664 00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:25,960 Speaker 1: rules shifted because that catch by Clement and it was 665 00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:27,920 Speaker 1: a catch. Come on, let's come down here. But that 666 00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:30,400 Speaker 1: probably under the letter of the law in the early 667 00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:34,400 Speaker 1: river Rn era. It's probably coming back right. There were 668 00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:36,000 Speaker 1: a couple of moments, and I think we heard on 669 00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:40,480 Speaker 1: Roger Goodell's press conference on last Wednesday during the week 670 00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:43,000 Speaker 1: that they want to start over from scratch with the 671 00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:45,160 Speaker 1: catch roll, and that almost got the sense that it's 672 00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:47,680 Speaker 1: already been sent out that we don't want any more 673 00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:50,400 Speaker 1: crazy overturns. And if nothing else, it would have been 674 00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:52,920 Speaker 1: crazy to overturn either of the Eagles touchdowns. It was 675 00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:55,560 Speaker 1: ridiculous that they even reviewed the Earth's one that long, 676 00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:57,640 Speaker 1: so the reviews seemed ten times longer when you're in 677 00:33:57,680 --> 00:33:59,479 Speaker 1: the stadium. By the way, I don't know that one 678 00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:02,560 Speaker 1: was the I'm still waiting for that the Rams Falcons 679 00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:05,200 Speaker 1: call to be made final on the punt that hit 680 00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:07,960 Speaker 1: somebody's leg. I don't think there's any doubt that River 681 00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:11,200 Speaker 1: Iron got a talking to, and it wasn't just Jesse James. 682 00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:14,080 Speaker 1: It was the Calvin Benjamin play against the Patriots where 683 00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:16,360 Speaker 1: they overturned that one in the end zone, and it 684 00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:19,200 Speaker 1: was a ridiculous overturn where you had to slow down 685 00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:22,279 Speaker 1: frame by frame by frame. And they had two places 686 00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:24,760 Speaker 1: tonight where people thought they might be overturned, two huge 687 00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:27,279 Speaker 1: plays for the Eagles. The cat will definitely played a 688 00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:29,800 Speaker 1: rule in this game. You gotta wrap on the knuckles. 689 00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:33,880 Speaker 1: I do think so like the indisputable evidence part of 690 00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:35,520 Speaker 1: the rule. I think they went back to that at 691 00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:38,120 Speaker 1: least that if it's not totally obvious, thank god it's 692 00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:40,200 Speaker 1: on the field. I do love the image of River 693 00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:42,680 Speaker 1: Iron being sat in a wooden chair like an old 694 00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:51,040 Speaker 1: Catholic school, and then Rod just rolls in with a ruler. Meanwhile, 695 00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:54,520 Speaker 1: they're they like are projecting critical tweets from Mike Pereira 696 00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:58,839 Speaker 1: on the wall and make you read a pretty imposing guy. 697 00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:00,360 Speaker 1: I don't know if you're gonna rap up him on 698 00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:02,520 Speaker 1: the knuckles with a little ruler and set him straight. 699 00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:05,480 Speaker 1: You know, I love prayer or he's a Tito's slugging 700 00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:09,160 Speaker 1: pieson he got loves Tito's, uh, but you know when 701 00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:11,520 Speaker 1: he's coming after the organization and he used to have 702 00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:13,839 Speaker 1: River run shop. I wonder if there's little Pereira River 703 00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:18,120 Speaker 1: ron heat criticized him, do you know blind well, you 704 00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:25,080 Speaker 1: know whatever. Alright, fair enough, Din is over, bro. I 705 00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:27,759 Speaker 1: find in a big spot, slight digression off the main 706 00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:32,120 Speaker 1: storyline here. So yeah, so Clement the call stands, and 707 00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:35,000 Speaker 1: then Greg the Patriots go right down the field again, 708 00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:37,879 Speaker 1: Chris Hogan scores a touchdown and the third quarter ends. 709 00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:42,239 Speaker 1: We'll get to that. You get to Hogan because near 710 00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:49,520 Speaker 1: miss for the sizzler at the end of three quarters, 711 00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:51,319 Speaker 1: and this is where I will get it. I will 712 00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:54,440 Speaker 1: mention shout out to the Patriots. You know, I'm feeling 713 00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:56,640 Speaker 1: in a good mood tonight over the way things go. 714 00:35:56,800 --> 00:35:58,759 Speaker 1: But just in general, the one thing I will give 715 00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:00,920 Speaker 1: the Pats every Super Bowl. The in is a banger. 716 00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:03,560 Speaker 1: This is another banger. It's not a small thing. Yeah, 717 00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:06,160 Speaker 1: we're going to so it's annoying it as it as 718 00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:08,279 Speaker 1: it is the deal fourteen and two every year, and 719 00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:10,640 Speaker 1: that's not a small thing. And then an easy a 720 00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:13,719 Speaker 1: a f C playoff road. It's been all very difficult 721 00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:16,719 Speaker 1: for you, I mean the trials and tribulations. Yeah, you're 722 00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:18,600 Speaker 1: not gonna believe it. Gregg, it has been difficult to 723 00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:21,120 Speaker 1: be a Jets fan during the Patriots dynasty. I think 724 00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:23,759 Speaker 1: it actually is a real thing. Uh, these games are 725 00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:26,000 Speaker 1: always fun when they're in it, and it does there's 726 00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:29,840 Speaker 1: a certain added gravitas when Brady is involved in Belichick 727 00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:34,320 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be magnanimous on this Well, tonight, you're not 728 00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:36,799 Speaker 1: allowed to call yourself magnat I do it like once 729 00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:39,640 Speaker 1: every four of human growth happening on this show. You 730 00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:43,160 Speaker 1: you really got that sense tonight because it was such 731 00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:46,440 Speaker 1: a heavy Eagles crowd and you kind of just know 732 00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:49,160 Speaker 1: that most of the country is rooting against the Patriots. 733 00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:51,600 Speaker 1: That it does make the game a little more special 734 00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:54,400 Speaker 1: that the Patriots come out and they're getting booted. Almost 735 00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:58,040 Speaker 1: feels like their villains, that they're the these un indestructible villains. 736 00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:00,440 Speaker 1: It adds a little bit to the game that wouldn't 737 00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:03,600 Speaker 1: have if it was a different team. Every single person 738 00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:06,440 Speaker 1: with Patriots fatigue, which give me a break on that, 739 00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:09,480 Speaker 1: is gonna miss them when they're gone. You're gonna miss 740 00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:12,160 Speaker 1: them when they're gone because they give you instant classics 741 00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:15,239 Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl every time. They have raised the 742 00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:17,200 Speaker 1: bar for super Bowls were in the golden age of 743 00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:19,319 Speaker 1: Super Bowls because of the page. This is the best 744 00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:22,359 Speaker 1: run by far. And we lived through some bad ones 745 00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:24,800 Speaker 1: when we were younger, and the a f C not 746 00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:27,160 Speaker 1: winning from what fourteen straight years and a bunch of 747 00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:30,279 Speaker 1: terrible blowouts. We've seen some crazy stuff. There's the difference, though, 748 00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:32,920 Speaker 1: West as you you you retired from the Bengals, so 749 00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:36,200 Speaker 1: you are just a football fan. So the Patriots being 750 00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:38,480 Speaker 1: involved and you just get all these great games. It 751 00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:40,560 Speaker 1: makes sense that you're making that statement. But to somebody 752 00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:43,200 Speaker 1: that is still invested in another team, especially one in 753 00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:45,359 Speaker 1: the division, I will not miss the Patriots on their 754 00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:47,879 Speaker 1: gun get out of my life. In fact, you could 755 00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:50,640 Speaker 1: look at this game potentially as the beginning of the 756 00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:54,880 Speaker 1: end the funeral here in the Viking Ship. It's just weird, 757 00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:57,919 Speaker 1: like your team's your team has been out of the race. Yeah, 758 00:37:58,239 --> 00:37:59,960 Speaker 1: your team has been out of the race for two month. 759 00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:01,440 Speaker 1: It's the only thing that makes sense. It's the root 760 00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:04,280 Speaker 1: for good football. I don't get that. This drive endless 761 00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:07,920 Speaker 1: personal narratives, this drive to put a bow on this 762 00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:11,040 Speaker 1: one was a reminder. I think Josh McDaniels had an 763 00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:12,880 Speaker 1: awesome game because I think there were a lot of 764 00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:16,759 Speaker 1: throws that, especially on this drive, that I'm thinking that 765 00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:19,600 Speaker 1: we're not tough throws for Tom Brady. I think he 766 00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:22,040 Speaker 1: played great. He made great decisions. He does so much 767 00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:24,920 Speaker 1: before the snap. But this wasn't a game where he 768 00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:31,520 Speaker 1: was required to make a bunch of crazy But he 769 00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:33,640 Speaker 1: also had a few drives like this where it was 770 00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:36,600 Speaker 1: it was not he didn't need that much. There was 771 00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:39,600 Speaker 1: guys wide open in the Eagle secondary. Um alright, So 772 00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:43,480 Speaker 1: the Eagles then make a massive mistake in their next 773 00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:46,240 Speaker 1: position in the fourth quarter. They don't score a touchdown, 774 00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:49,359 Speaker 1: and in this game, that's a fail because when they're 775 00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:52,359 Speaker 1: unable there a drive stalls Jake Elliott hits a forty 776 00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:56,000 Speaker 1: two yard or they extend the lead again to six points. 777 00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:59,319 Speaker 1: But now Tommy boys getting the ball down less than 778 00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:02,200 Speaker 1: a touchdown, and yeah, what do you think is gonna happen? 779 00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:05,640 Speaker 1: Bang bang bang bang bang ten place seventy five yards 780 00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:09,560 Speaker 1: four or forty seven cap by that man again, Gronk 781 00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:12,320 Speaker 1: who makes a tremendous catch in the back corner of 782 00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:16,520 Speaker 1: the end zone. Second and goal to go from the fourth. 783 00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:19,279 Speaker 1: They've been wanting the ball well on this drive here 784 00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:24,880 Speaker 1: we go, defends hip hop down to go in the 785 00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:30,840 Speaker 1: fog outside of Dorset to the Gronkowski slot left inside 786 00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:32,960 Speaker 1: of a mandola with white to the left of Brady 787 00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:37,279 Speaker 1: amndola in motion left to the left hatch. Brady takes 788 00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:40,000 Speaker 1: the snap, he backs up a love dark Gronkowski left, 789 00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:43,120 Speaker 1: preaches out, extends makes the ground as he dives to 790 00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:48,319 Speaker 1: the poor lad touchdown. Patriots as they tie Super Bowl 791 00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:51,520 Speaker 1: fifty two picked up Brady seven a little ship me 792 00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:56,080 Speaker 1: with the hips he's filling it certainly is And that 793 00:39:56,239 --> 00:39:58,680 Speaker 1: was a great Gronk spike and who knows, maybe the 794 00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:02,320 Speaker 1: final Gronk spike because after the game, Gronk said he 795 00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:05,480 Speaker 1: needs to think about some stuff about his football football future. 796 00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:08,680 Speaker 1: I guess the injuries and he just suffered a concussion 797 00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:11,759 Speaker 1: that maybe it makes you think about these things. Uh, 798 00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:13,960 Speaker 1: I'm sure a lot we would probably all agree he 799 00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:16,560 Speaker 1: probably will be back. But that's another subplot for the 800 00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:19,440 Speaker 1: Patriots going forward. But Gronk makes a great catch, an 801 00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:22,960 Speaker 1: epic Gronk spike, and now the Patriots are ahead. I 802 00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:25,799 Speaker 1: mean that that drive coming out of the second half 803 00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:28,399 Speaker 1: is the reason why we know he's not retiring. It's 804 00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:30,680 Speaker 1: just like that drive against the Steelers to win the game. 805 00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:32,759 Speaker 1: No one else can do that. He's still on top 806 00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:34,840 Speaker 1: of his game. He's not walking away and give me 807 00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:36,719 Speaker 1: a break. Yeah, it's the rare offseason where he doesn't 808 00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:39,160 Speaker 1: have like a five or six month rehab stint to 809 00:40:39,239 --> 00:40:41,200 Speaker 1: deal with on top of the season, and that I 810 00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:45,280 Speaker 1: applaud uh the Eagles excitement In terms of the fans. 811 00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:49,440 Speaker 1: We congratulate, you know, Colleen Wolfe and John Gonzalez, two 812 00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:51,879 Speaker 1: Eagles greats, having a great time out in the City 813 00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:58,400 Speaker 1: of Gas tonight. But can we calm down on playing 814 00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:01,640 Speaker 1: the Rocky theme and the hockey stuff on third down? 815 00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:03,640 Speaker 1: That was a little bit on my radar. I was like, what, 816 00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:06,319 Speaker 1: what game are we? I saw a lot of other 817 00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:08,839 Speaker 1: people that aren't fans of the team's like tweeting about 818 00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:10,720 Speaker 1: this too. It's like, how are they getting the Eagles 819 00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:15,920 Speaker 1: third down Rocky music? We we are not suffering Patriots exhaustion, 820 00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:18,800 Speaker 1: but we're already tired with the Eagles success. Just like 821 00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:21,160 Speaker 1: this is a neutral side game and we're going Rocky 822 00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:23,399 Speaker 1: on every thirday. Seemed like a Philadelphia home game when 823 00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:27,160 Speaker 1: you got Rocky player, Well it did. Yeah, the fact 824 00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:29,560 Speaker 1: there was like thirty nine thousand Eagles fans also played in. 825 00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:32,120 Speaker 1: But I did enjoy some of Greg Who's you know, 826 00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:36,040 Speaker 1: staring down the barrel of forty. Now, um, you had 827 00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:38,640 Speaker 1: some great old man grumbles during this game. That one 828 00:41:38,719 --> 00:41:40,839 Speaker 1: was one and that was fair. Your other one, I'll 829 00:41:40,880 --> 00:41:43,600 Speaker 1: let you explain it because I I'll give you the 830 00:41:43,640 --> 00:41:45,120 Speaker 1: points on that one as well. Got a year in 831 00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:48,840 Speaker 1: a month and forty for the record. Uh, well, I 832 00:41:48,920 --> 00:41:51,040 Speaker 1: would like and I would just request you know that 833 00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:56,720 Speaker 1: the in stadium entertainment manager to give us thirty seconds 834 00:41:56,760 --> 00:41:58,960 Speaker 1: of quiet every once in a while to talk to 835 00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:01,800 Speaker 1: your neighbor. Do we need I love Cardi B. We 836 00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:05,080 Speaker 1: don't need Cardi B in between every single play and 837 00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:10,360 Speaker 1: and just whatever other entertainment they have in between every commercial. 838 00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:13,440 Speaker 1: You couldn't at no point where they're not playing insanely 839 00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:16,360 Speaker 1: loud things at every second of the game. Your application 840 00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:20,600 Speaker 1: has been accepted. You know Scott Hanson of NFL Network, 841 00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:22,960 Speaker 1: he's a pro, But they had the talking for too 842 00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:27,600 Speaker 1: many a show during the game that was on the loudspeaker, 843 00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:30,120 Speaker 1: and Hansen's got a booming voice and then it's like 844 00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:35,879 Speaker 1: bang loud song, bang sound effect, bang, Rocky clip. It's 845 00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:38,239 Speaker 1: like you're calling the Super Bowl a bit gaudie, a 846 00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:41,719 Speaker 1: bit overproduced. I love what I'm hearing on this issue. Right, 847 00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:45,400 Speaker 1: It's like, this is not Tuesday Night Wolves versus Bucks, 848 00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:48,520 Speaker 1: Like we don't need to generate crowd excitement. It's the 849 00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:51,640 Speaker 1: super Bowl. And while we're here, what's the new old? 850 00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:55,720 Speaker 1: All this hip hop music? That's not music? A singer 851 00:42:55,880 --> 00:43:00,440 Speaker 1: Frank Sinatra, that's music. Good luck at in at this 852 00:43:00,520 --> 00:43:06,239 Speaker 1: super Bowl? Uh? Mark Brady alright, shadowy league figure, can 853 00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:10,120 Speaker 1: we play some Sinatra? Is that cleared? No? No, no, 854 00:43:10,320 --> 00:43:16,440 Speaker 1: Sonatra tonight? Alright? This is yes thirty two? Uh. And 855 00:43:17,160 --> 00:43:19,680 Speaker 1: that's what I said to Greg Up. It's over. The 856 00:43:19,840 --> 00:43:23,120 Speaker 1: only way the Eagles win this game is if they 857 00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:25,120 Speaker 1: managed to pull off what they did on that first 858 00:43:25,200 --> 00:43:28,680 Speaker 1: drive and and but finish it out the way they 859 00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:31,680 Speaker 1: needed to. So they needed to keep their own defense 860 00:43:31,719 --> 00:43:35,120 Speaker 1: off the field because their defense had failed, had failed 861 00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:38,280 Speaker 1: for fifty five minutes of game time, and the Eagles 862 00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:41,360 Speaker 1: and have the drive of the history of the franchise, 863 00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:45,640 Speaker 1: UH fourteen plays seventy five yards and most importantly, with 864 00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:49,759 Speaker 1: Tom Brady unconscious and Gronk spiking and swiveling his hips, 865 00:43:49,800 --> 00:43:53,080 Speaker 1: and getting Zalak all fired up seven minutes of game time, 866 00:43:53,440 --> 00:43:59,440 Speaker 1: and it ends most importantly with this empty four receivers 867 00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:09,880 Speaker 1: player that those phones fins slim touchdown. An embarrassing performance 868 00:44:09,920 --> 00:44:13,960 Speaker 1: by the Patriots entire defense, especially their secondary. I believe 869 00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:16,839 Speaker 1: that was Devin mccorney quarter who got burnt on that play. 870 00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:20,520 Speaker 1: They Pro Football Focus had a tweet at halftime that 871 00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:23,399 Speaker 1: they had missed more tackles in the first half than 872 00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:26,000 Speaker 1: any game they've played since two thousand six. When they 873 00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:29,560 Speaker 1: started tracking miss tackles. It was just an awfully coached game. 874 00:44:29,640 --> 00:44:32,480 Speaker 1: I thought the Patriots were disappointing in their lack of 875 00:44:32,560 --> 00:44:35,120 Speaker 1: fundamentals all around. That's why I do want to hear 876 00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:38,000 Speaker 1: more and more about the Malcolm Butler situation, because when 877 00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:41,920 Speaker 1: whether or not he whatever he did, you're ticketing him 878 00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:44,600 Speaker 1: to start this game, and suddenly the other players say 879 00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:46,239 Speaker 1: after that was not the plan for him not to 880 00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:48,600 Speaker 1: be on there, That throws things out of the loop. 881 00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:51,440 Speaker 1: If suddenly one of us vanished today and wasn't doing 882 00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:53,400 Speaker 1: the show and wasn't doing their job, it's like it 883 00:44:53,520 --> 00:44:56,200 Speaker 1: kind of changes the whole afternoon. The biggest compliment I 884 00:44:56,239 --> 00:44:58,560 Speaker 1: can give the Eagles is that they're so well coached 885 00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:00,080 Speaker 1: that by the time you get to the end this 886 00:45:00,160 --> 00:45:03,080 Speaker 1: season with Nick Foles on our center, this drive encapsulated 887 00:45:03,160 --> 00:45:05,440 Speaker 1: that they look no different to me than when Carson 888 00:45:05,520 --> 00:45:08,400 Speaker 1: Wentz was the quarterback. That's good coaching and and I 889 00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:10,960 Speaker 1: don't know if some of it was coaching, certainly. I 890 00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:13,480 Speaker 1: think Eric Row, for instance, ended up playing pretty well. 891 00:45:13,560 --> 00:45:15,520 Speaker 1: Patrick Chung goes out with an injury in the second 892 00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:18,640 Speaker 1: had a really good second half, I do, but the 893 00:45:18,680 --> 00:45:21,200 Speaker 1: first half matters, right, he got picked on him. I 894 00:45:21,520 --> 00:45:25,200 Speaker 1: think overall he he made plays in Jeffrey made a 895 00:45:25,239 --> 00:45:28,880 Speaker 1: couple of plays against him too, but Batamosi and Jordan Richards, 896 00:45:29,040 --> 00:45:32,000 Speaker 1: and you had certain matchups like Marquis Flowers on Corey 897 00:45:32,080 --> 00:45:35,440 Speaker 1: Clement and different matchups that the Eagles offense was able 898 00:45:35,520 --> 00:45:38,400 Speaker 1: to orchestrate. Was a great job by the coaches, But 899 00:45:38,520 --> 00:45:40,439 Speaker 1: to me, it comes down to players. We talked about 900 00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:43,080 Speaker 1: coaches so much. Those miss tackles are kind of on 901 00:45:43,239 --> 00:45:46,000 Speaker 1: the Patriots players and a lot of these plays. As 902 00:45:46,120 --> 00:45:49,920 Speaker 1: much as the matchup was great, foals on that drive 903 00:45:50,560 --> 00:45:54,120 Speaker 1: was so great, and especially that fourth down play I 904 00:45:54,360 --> 00:45:56,359 Speaker 1: really stands out to me. I think that it's gotten 905 00:45:56,440 --> 00:45:59,120 Speaker 1: overlooked just in the immediate aftermath. That took a lot 906 00:45:59,200 --> 00:46:01,640 Speaker 1: of guts. They went for fourth and two at their 907 00:46:01,680 --> 00:46:06,839 Speaker 1: own forty five with five maybe even more onions than 908 00:46:06,880 --> 00:46:08,440 Speaker 1: the play on the goal line if you think about it, 909 00:46:08,440 --> 00:46:10,239 Speaker 1: because if you don't pick that up, the Patriots have 910 00:46:10,400 --> 00:46:13,600 Speaker 1: the ball, they're in scoring position. And on that play, 911 00:46:13,680 --> 00:46:17,640 Speaker 1: Trey Flowers gets immediate pressure. He hits Nick Foles. Foals 912 00:46:17,920 --> 00:46:20,240 Speaker 1: moved in the pocket very well. He had great pocket 913 00:46:21,160 --> 00:46:24,040 Speaker 1: from I don't know he had in the NFC Championship 914 00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:26,920 Speaker 1: game too, But he slides very suddenly completes a two 915 00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:29,759 Speaker 1: yard passed the Arts, who beats Stephon Gilmore, who had 916 00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:32,600 Speaker 1: an incredible game overall, and Gilmore you could tell, was 917 00:46:32,640 --> 00:46:34,600 Speaker 1: really upset after the play, And I thought about that 918 00:46:34,719 --> 00:46:37,200 Speaker 1: that was really a game changing play. That Art's wins 919 00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:39,479 Speaker 1: that matchup, and that Folds kind of makes the play 920 00:46:39,560 --> 00:46:41,759 Speaker 1: on his own. Wasn't in a common sense called by 921 00:46:41,840 --> 00:46:45,160 Speaker 1: Peterson as gutsy as it was on the surface. He 922 00:46:45,280 --> 00:46:47,759 Speaker 1: knew what we all were seeing that the Eagles, if 923 00:46:47,760 --> 00:46:49,839 Speaker 1: they punt that ball away, they probably never get it back. 924 00:46:50,320 --> 00:46:52,879 Speaker 1: So they really just had to get that fourth, fourth down. 925 00:46:53,080 --> 00:46:55,680 Speaker 1: It was it had to have it play and the players, 926 00:46:56,000 --> 00:46:58,919 Speaker 1: the players play. That's that was their mentality the whole game. 927 00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:01,279 Speaker 1: It's super aggressive. And the next place that I think 928 00:47:01,320 --> 00:47:03,040 Speaker 1: it was the very next play after that, was where 929 00:47:03,400 --> 00:47:06,160 Speaker 1: Falls is either on a sprint right or he's scrambling 930 00:47:06,280 --> 00:47:09,560 Speaker 1: to his right and he throws a gorgeous like p 931 00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:13,239 Speaker 1: on the move to Aguilar, who taps his toes and 932 00:47:13,280 --> 00:47:14,880 Speaker 1: gets in before he goes out of bounds Like these 933 00:47:14,920 --> 00:47:17,359 Speaker 1: are these are high level plays to win a Super Bowl. 934 00:47:17,400 --> 00:47:19,680 Speaker 1: Have three money completions in a row on that drive, 935 00:47:19,880 --> 00:47:22,279 Speaker 1: and I mean he did it all night and again 936 00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:25,279 Speaker 1: talking to the Philippa, one thing said, we just pound fundamentals. 937 00:47:25,360 --> 00:47:27,080 Speaker 1: We talked about it every single day and when they 938 00:47:27,280 --> 00:47:29,320 Speaker 1: and the one thing that he they coach well that 939 00:47:29,400 --> 00:47:32,239 Speaker 1: when you make a mistake, they quickly find a way 940 00:47:32,280 --> 00:47:34,760 Speaker 1: with their quarterbacks to get over and just stress their fundamentals. 941 00:47:34,800 --> 00:47:36,879 Speaker 1: And it sounds cheesy. It's just sounds like coach speak, 942 00:47:36,920 --> 00:47:39,799 Speaker 1: except we're watching Nick Foles do something that we really 943 00:47:39,840 --> 00:47:43,240 Speaker 1: haven't seen since maybe Joe Flacco had that magical January 944 00:47:43,400 --> 00:47:46,160 Speaker 1: West go ahead. No, I was gonna say so, you know, 945 00:47:46,280 --> 00:47:48,960 Speaker 1: some people believe that Joe name hath sold his soul 946 00:47:49,040 --> 00:47:51,080 Speaker 1: to the devil to win a Super Bowl and the 947 00:47:51,160 --> 00:47:53,200 Speaker 1: Jets are still paying for it. Do you think that 948 00:47:53,360 --> 00:47:56,440 Speaker 1: Nick Foles sold his soul? Because I know you were 949 00:47:56,480 --> 00:47:58,960 Speaker 1: not expecting Folds to do it again in this setting, 950 00:47:59,040 --> 00:48:00,400 Speaker 1: and now he just put together of the two of 951 00:48:00,440 --> 00:48:02,640 Speaker 1: the best games in NFL playoff history. He seems to 952 00:48:02,640 --> 00:48:05,319 Speaker 1: be a hyper religious man, like on a Kirk Cousins level, 953 00:48:05,360 --> 00:48:07,160 Speaker 1: so I would not assume that he sold his soul 954 00:48:07,200 --> 00:48:10,440 Speaker 1: to the devil. But I do think he's about the 955 00:48:10,480 --> 00:48:13,200 Speaker 1: best example we have yet of the fact that you 956 00:48:13,239 --> 00:48:16,479 Speaker 1: cannot separate the quarterback from his coaching staff, surrounding talent, 957 00:48:16,880 --> 00:48:19,960 Speaker 1: and the coaching staffs ability to instill the upmodest confidence 958 00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:22,360 Speaker 1: in a player with their play design, the r p 959 00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:25,360 Speaker 1: o s, with their play calls, the timing of the 960 00:48:25,400 --> 00:48:28,440 Speaker 1: play calls. And Nick Foles, we saw so many coaches 961 00:48:28,480 --> 00:48:30,560 Speaker 1: give up on him. Chip Kelly gave up on him. 962 00:48:31,160 --> 00:48:35,080 Speaker 1: Jeff Fisher gave up on him. Andy Reid didn't resign 963 00:48:35,160 --> 00:48:37,160 Speaker 1: him with the Chiefs. I mean, there's a lot of 964 00:48:37,239 --> 00:48:40,279 Speaker 1: coaching staffs. Nick Foles just didn't work well under and 965 00:48:40,400 --> 00:48:42,600 Speaker 1: it didn't always have the best talent, especially with the 966 00:48:42,719 --> 00:48:46,439 Speaker 1: Rams but on this team, I can't say enough about 967 00:48:46,520 --> 00:48:49,839 Speaker 1: that coaching staff. And really, I mean Nick Foles made 968 00:48:49,920 --> 00:48:52,600 Speaker 1: me ekrow a couple of times. Now, he gotta give 969 00:48:52,640 --> 00:48:53,920 Speaker 1: him all the credit in the world for how well 970 00:48:53,960 --> 00:48:57,719 Speaker 1: he's played. Is the fools Wesleyan family line clash that 971 00:48:57,840 --> 00:48:59,320 Speaker 1: seemed to be at the heart of all this is 972 00:48:59,400 --> 00:49:02,160 Speaker 1: that sold to this point, Well, I don't. I don't know. 973 00:49:02,280 --> 00:49:04,120 Speaker 1: He's never gonna be my favorite quarterback to watch. And 974 00:49:04,160 --> 00:49:06,440 Speaker 1: I would suggest buy or beware for any team who 975 00:49:06,480 --> 00:49:09,000 Speaker 1: thinks he's gonna be like a guy to go trade 976 00:49:09,040 --> 00:49:12,279 Speaker 1: fort for next year. You're not getting Doug Peterson and 977 00:49:12,400 --> 00:49:14,560 Speaker 1: John d Filippo and Frank Reich along with him when 978 00:49:14,600 --> 00:49:16,239 Speaker 1: you sign him. A trade for him, I was thinking 979 00:49:16,640 --> 00:49:19,080 Speaker 1: Carson went to the locker room after the game. He 980 00:49:19,239 --> 00:49:21,239 Speaker 1: kind of had like a I'm about to go weird 981 00:49:21,280 --> 00:49:22,960 Speaker 1: looking to see facing It made me think like he 982 00:49:23,080 --> 00:49:24,720 Speaker 1: was kind of it kind of must be a surreal 983 00:49:25,200 --> 00:49:28,439 Speaker 1: feeling for him to be the centerpiece of this best 984 00:49:28,520 --> 00:49:30,839 Speaker 1: team in the NFC. Go to the background, and then 985 00:49:30,880 --> 00:49:33,919 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, fast forward to the winning's locker 986 00:49:34,040 --> 00:49:36,359 Speaker 1: room in the Super Bowl, and no one is gonna say, oh, 987 00:49:36,440 --> 00:49:40,040 Speaker 1: who's starting next year. Someone did to outside Jeffrey actually 988 00:49:40,080 --> 00:49:43,279 Speaker 1: and he was like, come on, bro, yeah, but I 989 00:49:43,440 --> 00:49:46,000 Speaker 1: understand if he had some like weird thoughts in his head, 990 00:49:46,040 --> 00:49:48,880 Speaker 1: like this is kind of a bittersweet moment because this 991 00:49:49,440 --> 00:49:51,400 Speaker 1: I might never get back to this moment with the 992 00:49:51,520 --> 00:49:54,000 Speaker 1: team and the and the other guy did the understudy 993 00:49:54,040 --> 00:49:55,440 Speaker 1: did it just it's kind of a weird spot for 994 00:49:55,560 --> 00:49:57,120 Speaker 1: you look at that Panthers team from a couple of 995 00:49:57,200 --> 00:49:59,160 Speaker 1: years ago. It shows you how hard it is to 996 00:49:59,200 --> 00:50:01,000 Speaker 1: get back to these game games. Even if you play 997 00:50:01,280 --> 00:50:03,719 Speaker 1: at the level Wentz did this season, it doesn't mean 998 00:50:03,760 --> 00:50:05,680 Speaker 1: the team's gonna do it. And they're they're so close 999 00:50:05,760 --> 00:50:08,040 Speaker 1: you can tell Falls and Wins they really get along 1000 00:50:08,080 --> 00:50:10,160 Speaker 1: and Folls, you know, more of a veteran than Wentz, 1001 00:50:10,200 --> 00:50:13,360 Speaker 1: and and and it still has to be so strange 1002 00:50:13,400 --> 00:50:15,279 Speaker 1: for Wins because it's not his moment. Some guy was. 1003 00:50:15,880 --> 00:50:17,200 Speaker 1: He was the type of guy who was asking the 1004 00:50:17,239 --> 00:50:20,319 Speaker 1: same question at every player, and the question was how 1005 00:50:20,400 --> 00:50:23,279 Speaker 1: did Carson Wentz his leadership over the last three weeks, 1006 00:50:23,360 --> 00:50:26,040 Speaker 1: like really help out you know, you win the Super Bowl? 1007 00:50:26,280 --> 00:50:28,160 Speaker 1: And and Trey Burton's answer was great. He was like 1008 00:50:28,239 --> 00:50:30,560 Speaker 1: he was kind of like, uh, you know, Nick Foles 1009 00:50:30,600 --> 00:50:32,680 Speaker 1: just had one of the best games ever. Man, that's 1010 00:50:32,680 --> 00:50:34,600 Speaker 1: the guy I'm talking about, kind of like he just 1011 00:50:34,680 --> 00:50:36,719 Speaker 1: didn't even want to entertain it. If you have that 1012 00:50:36,760 --> 00:50:39,560 Speaker 1: writer got his angle, and it should be said that 1013 00:50:39,680 --> 00:50:43,239 Speaker 1: Earth's play. He caught the ball, took two or three 1014 00:50:43,280 --> 00:50:45,600 Speaker 1: steps lunch of the end zone, lost possession of the 1015 00:50:45,640 --> 00:50:49,640 Speaker 1: ball when he reached over the goal line. And especially 1016 00:50:49,840 --> 00:50:51,759 Speaker 1: you know, poor souls like me or thinking, oh, the 1017 00:50:51,800 --> 00:50:54,239 Speaker 1: Pats are gonna get a call here. But the old 1018 00:50:54,360 --> 00:50:57,920 Speaker 1: rap on the knuckles with hern said, nope, that's a touchdown. 1019 00:50:58,000 --> 00:51:01,359 Speaker 1: It's not a Jesse James situation. They Gene Sarator, who 1020 00:51:01,400 --> 00:51:05,640 Speaker 1: had a nice game, said he had possession. He began to, 1021 00:51:05,920 --> 00:51:08,960 Speaker 1: you know, move up field, so once he dove, losing 1022 00:51:09,040 --> 00:51:13,000 Speaker 1: possession of the ball. Okay, touchdown, No conc I liked it. 1023 00:51:13,080 --> 00:51:16,080 Speaker 1: With zero evidence that anything has happened at all with Riveron, 1024 00:51:16,160 --> 00:51:18,120 Speaker 1: it's we simply haven't been a place He's like catch, 1025 00:51:18,320 --> 00:51:22,479 Speaker 1: catch catch, that's a catch, catch catch, that's why a catch. 1026 00:51:22,719 --> 00:51:25,680 Speaker 1: And the last thing, since this is the last time 1027 00:51:25,719 --> 00:51:29,080 Speaker 1: really Foles had the ball meaningfully and was throwing the ball, 1028 00:51:29,280 --> 00:51:33,239 Speaker 1: it is a great reminder of how uncertain all of 1029 00:51:33,360 --> 00:51:36,200 Speaker 1: this is and that it's a point football. It's a 1030 00:51:36,280 --> 00:51:38,880 Speaker 1: point we I we hammer over and over on this podcast. 1031 00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:41,719 Speaker 1: But we had this big discussion, you know, a very 1032 00:51:42,080 --> 00:51:45,920 Speaker 1: vociferous debate when car when Carson Wentz got injured, and 1033 00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:49,600 Speaker 1: the debate was, can the Eagles possibly win a game 1034 00:51:49,719 --> 00:51:52,719 Speaker 1: or two in the playoffs with Nick Foles? Is that 1035 00:51:52,840 --> 00:51:55,840 Speaker 1: even humanly possible? And like for the most part, the 1036 00:51:55,920 --> 00:51:59,200 Speaker 1: idea was like, no way can Nick? Could they even 1037 00:51:59,280 --> 00:52:01,520 Speaker 1: win a game with Nick Foles? And not only that, 1038 00:52:01,680 --> 00:52:03,359 Speaker 1: not only did they win a game or two, they 1039 00:52:03,440 --> 00:52:06,680 Speaker 1: won the super Bowl in the greatest shootout in NFL 1040 00:52:06,800 --> 00:52:09,879 Speaker 1: history over one of the great greatest offenses NFLS three. 1041 00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:13,200 Speaker 1: There's just nothing. It's an argument to completely close shop 1042 00:52:13,280 --> 00:52:18,759 Speaker 1: on analyzing football. Maybe maybe maybe we pipe down on fictions. 1043 00:52:18,880 --> 00:52:25,319 Speaker 1: Predictions are tough, and then no more predictions on this shows. 1044 00:52:26,200 --> 00:52:28,279 Speaker 1: Lock it up for the old zeus. Sir, Well, let 1045 00:52:28,320 --> 00:52:29,799 Speaker 1: me I have a comment on that, because then we've 1046 00:52:29,800 --> 00:52:32,840 Speaker 1: got a little testy on the other show before we 1047 00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:35,520 Speaker 1: get into something where people deciding because we're tied now 1048 00:52:35,560 --> 00:52:38,600 Speaker 1: at the top, Oh who who has it more? Based 1049 00:52:38,640 --> 00:52:42,040 Speaker 1: on this nonsense? This was you called it it went 1050 00:52:42,120 --> 00:52:44,319 Speaker 1: your way. We're gonna take that trophy. We're gonna saw 1051 00:52:44,360 --> 00:52:46,400 Speaker 1: it right down the middle, and I'll put half on 1052 00:52:46,520 --> 00:52:49,279 Speaker 1: your desk, half on mine. That's this is a King 1053 00:52:49,400 --> 00:52:52,120 Speaker 1: Solomon riddle. You want to saw it in half, I 1054 00:52:52,160 --> 00:52:53,960 Speaker 1: gotta give it to Zuster. Then he loves the trophy 1055 00:52:54,000 --> 00:52:56,439 Speaker 1: more than you know. Why why aren't we Why aren't 1056 00:52:56,440 --> 00:52:57,920 Speaker 1: we the co champions when we just put it on 1057 00:52:58,000 --> 00:52:59,759 Speaker 1: the play that works to all in my trying to 1058 00:53:00,640 --> 00:53:03,000 Speaker 1: beat Magnanimous now and say that it was wrong for 1059 00:53:03,080 --> 00:53:04,719 Speaker 1: me to be testy on the other show about the 1060 00:53:04,719 --> 00:53:07,440 Speaker 1: whole thing. It is a parlor game. We have tied. 1061 00:53:07,600 --> 00:53:11,200 Speaker 1: It's how it ends. I'm happy for you and for me, alright. 1062 00:53:11,200 --> 00:53:14,879 Speaker 1: And Greg, your attempt to to you know, completely scrap 1063 00:53:15,080 --> 00:53:17,160 Speaker 1: the whole thing and try not to win, you almost won. 1064 00:53:17,280 --> 00:53:19,040 Speaker 1: So you have to get better at throwing these kind 1065 00:53:19,080 --> 00:53:23,080 Speaker 1: of contests, please. I tried to really scrap it with 1066 00:53:23,160 --> 00:53:25,160 Speaker 1: the old double lock. You guys are in on in 1067 00:53:25,320 --> 00:53:27,000 Speaker 1: on that at the time. And we look forward to 1068 00:53:27,400 --> 00:53:29,200 Speaker 1: next season when West will be with us for the 1069 00:53:29,239 --> 00:53:32,000 Speaker 1: full season and he could be in it to the 1070 00:53:32,160 --> 00:53:36,040 Speaker 1: very end. So that's settled now. The biggest play of 1071 00:53:36,480 --> 00:53:41,120 Speaker 1: the biggest defensive play in the history of the Philadelphia Eagles, 1072 00:53:41,160 --> 00:53:42,880 Speaker 1: at least in the Super Bowl era. By the way, 1073 00:53:42,920 --> 00:53:44,440 Speaker 1: did we say that they? I said at the very 1074 00:53:44,480 --> 00:53:46,520 Speaker 1: tip of the show. This is Super Bowl fifty two 1075 00:53:46,600 --> 00:53:49,040 Speaker 1: that we watched today. They've never won the Super Bowl before. 1076 00:53:49,120 --> 00:53:51,560 Speaker 1: What a momentous moment for Philadelphia sports. I hope that 1077 00:53:51,640 --> 00:53:55,080 Speaker 1: city is gonna be okay because it's gonna looking like 1078 00:53:55,200 --> 00:53:57,600 Speaker 1: it so far. But yeah, so everyone thinks, everyone and 1079 00:53:57,640 --> 00:54:01,200 Speaker 1: their brother and their sister, thank Brady's gonna take the 1080 00:54:01,239 --> 00:54:05,560 Speaker 1: ball the down five, score the game winning touchdown. But 1081 00:54:05,719 --> 00:54:08,480 Speaker 1: that is not what happens because the Eagles defense, and 1082 00:54:08,560 --> 00:54:13,000 Speaker 1: specifically that pass rush, which is so praised throughout the 1083 00:54:13,080 --> 00:54:17,320 Speaker 1: season and rightfully so, and then disappeared for fifty five minutes, 1084 00:54:17,400 --> 00:54:21,280 Speaker 1: showed up when it mattered most deep in Patriot's territory. 1085 00:54:22,120 --> 00:54:25,200 Speaker 1: Brady surveys the defense and takes this down. Tom Stanton, 1086 00:54:25,400 --> 00:54:29,280 Speaker 1: he looked up the balls out, the balls out photofit hasn't. 1087 00:54:29,400 --> 00:54:33,040 Speaker 1: Burnett comes away with a fun ball. Tom Brady was 1088 00:54:33,160 --> 00:54:39,560 Speaker 1: hit from his right sure stunning, stunning because everyone thought 1089 00:54:39,640 --> 00:54:41,960 Speaker 1: Brady was gonna go down the field and instead, all 1090 00:54:42,000 --> 00:54:44,480 Speaker 1: of a sudden, the Eagles have the ball back and 1091 00:54:44,600 --> 00:54:46,279 Speaker 1: they are now on the driver's seat for the Super Bowl. 1092 00:54:46,480 --> 00:54:50,080 Speaker 1: I mean, Eagles fans, Patriots fans, writers at the whole 1093 00:54:50,080 --> 00:54:52,800 Speaker 1: stadium knows that Tom Brady's the two minute master, that 1094 00:54:52,960 --> 00:54:55,680 Speaker 1: that's what he's built his career on, is making a 1095 00:54:55,840 --> 00:54:58,120 Speaker 1: science out of the two minute drill. And he didn't 1096 00:54:58,160 --> 00:54:59,480 Speaker 1: get a chance to lead it down the field and 1097 00:54:59,560 --> 00:55:01,759 Speaker 1: threw very little fault of his own. He couldn't have 1098 00:55:01,840 --> 00:55:04,279 Speaker 1: possibly seen Brandon Graham coming on that play. Yeah, came 1099 00:55:04,320 --> 00:55:07,400 Speaker 1: pretty quick. He would have. I'm sure he would, you know, 1100 00:55:07,480 --> 00:55:09,520 Speaker 1: wish that he could have reacted a little quicker. He 1101 00:55:09,600 --> 00:55:11,279 Speaker 1: had such great protection all day. That was just a 1102 00:55:11,360 --> 00:55:15,239 Speaker 1: normal for men rush and sometimes it comes down to 1103 00:55:15,360 --> 00:55:17,560 Speaker 1: just one play. It's like, Okay, you had a bad 1104 00:55:17,600 --> 00:55:21,560 Speaker 1: defensive game, but Brandon Graham beat Shack Mason on that play. 1105 00:55:21,800 --> 00:55:23,920 Speaker 1: Jack Mason maybe the best you know, guard on the 1106 00:55:24,000 --> 00:55:27,040 Speaker 1: on the Patriots. Graham rushing from the inside, maybe the 1107 00:55:27,120 --> 00:55:30,600 Speaker 1: best pure pass rusher on the Eagles. He won that play. 1108 00:55:30,680 --> 00:55:33,640 Speaker 1: And that's like, I'm happy for Graham, just getting to 1109 00:55:33,680 --> 00:55:36,120 Speaker 1: know him very little over the last few weeks. A 1110 00:55:36,320 --> 00:55:39,080 Speaker 1: really likable guy on the team that I think everyone 1111 00:55:39,239 --> 00:55:41,400 Speaker 1: really loves and for him to have that moments, well, 1112 00:55:41,440 --> 00:55:44,120 Speaker 1: he was downstairs and his little baby, or actually like 1113 00:55:44,200 --> 00:55:45,799 Speaker 1: a three or four year old, little cute little girl, 1114 00:55:45,880 --> 00:55:48,360 Speaker 1: was singing her little version of Fly Eagles Fly, and 1115 00:55:48,600 --> 00:55:50,799 Speaker 1: he was trying to answer questions about that play over 1116 00:55:50,880 --> 00:55:53,120 Speaker 1: and over. And what he did pound home was that 1117 00:55:53,640 --> 00:55:56,520 Speaker 1: they sought wherever they could one on one matchups. And 1118 00:55:56,560 --> 00:55:58,920 Speaker 1: that's exactly what happened. That is, if we kept getting 1119 00:55:59,040 --> 00:56:01,440 Speaker 1: one on one matches, we're gonn to finally take Brady 1120 00:56:01,520 --> 00:56:03,600 Speaker 1: down at some point. They just never lost faith that 1121 00:56:03,640 --> 00:56:05,919 Speaker 1: would happen, and it happened at the most critical time 1122 00:56:06,239 --> 00:56:09,439 Speaker 1: in franchise history. The Eagle state aggressive. They ran the ball, 1123 00:56:09,640 --> 00:56:12,719 Speaker 1: made Patriots use the time, then they threw the ball incomplete, 1124 00:56:12,880 --> 00:56:15,680 Speaker 1: kept the Patriots in business with the time out. Another run, 1125 00:56:16,080 --> 00:56:19,640 Speaker 1: and then I think kind of underrated Jake Elliott forty 1126 00:56:19,680 --> 00:56:21,640 Speaker 1: six yard field, Well, not a gimme in that spot, 1127 00:56:21,920 --> 00:56:24,080 Speaker 1: and it's a difference between a five point game and 1128 00:56:24,160 --> 00:56:27,040 Speaker 1: an eight point game, and he drills it. So Elliott, 1129 00:56:27,040 --> 00:56:29,200 Speaker 1: who had had a fantastic rookie year, a guy that 1130 00:56:29,320 --> 00:56:33,160 Speaker 1: came out of nowhere, UH, finishes off his season UH 1131 00:56:33,400 --> 00:56:36,560 Speaker 1: with field gonna make it forty one thirty three, and 1132 00:56:36,640 --> 00:56:38,239 Speaker 1: now the Pats have one more chance. Well, and the 1133 00:56:38,320 --> 00:56:42,400 Speaker 1: Pats end up blowing the kickoff. That hurt a terrible 1134 00:56:43,360 --> 00:56:45,320 Speaker 1: and you mentioned how big that kick was by Elliott. 1135 00:56:45,400 --> 00:56:47,880 Speaker 1: The Patriots would have had the ball at with one 1136 00:56:48,000 --> 00:56:50,120 Speaker 1: ten left at the thirty five. Instead they have the 1137 00:56:50,160 --> 00:56:52,520 Speaker 1: ball at the nine with fifty eight seconds left. And 1138 00:56:52,600 --> 00:56:54,719 Speaker 1: that's why, even though the Eagles deserve credit for getting 1139 00:56:54,719 --> 00:56:58,040 Speaker 1: pressure on Brady at once, you're at that point, I 1140 00:56:58,160 --> 00:57:01,480 Speaker 1: mean that that is an almost possible situation with no 1141 00:57:01,640 --> 00:57:03,120 Speaker 1: time out. And one of the reasons they didn't have 1142 00:57:03,160 --> 00:57:05,080 Speaker 1: a time out they wasted a time out early in 1143 00:57:05,120 --> 00:57:07,400 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter on a third down play where the 1144 00:57:07,640 --> 00:57:09,960 Speaker 1: ball was the clock was stopped, and that was another 1145 00:57:10,040 --> 00:57:12,960 Speaker 1: kind of Unbelichick Unpatriots like this and the play West 1146 00:57:13,040 --> 00:57:15,600 Speaker 1: you called it when it happened. But Brady's just like, 1147 00:57:15,719 --> 00:57:17,080 Speaker 1: give me the ball, give it. Let's get on the 1148 00:57:17,080 --> 00:57:18,640 Speaker 1: twenty five guard and give me the ball. Instead, they 1149 00:57:18,720 --> 00:57:20,720 Speaker 1: try to get cute with a trick play, and not 1150 00:57:20,840 --> 00:57:23,280 Speaker 1: only does it get brought down at the nine, it 1151 00:57:23,720 --> 00:57:25,720 Speaker 1: costs you about you know, eight ten seconds. I think 1152 00:57:25,800 --> 00:57:28,160 Speaker 1: that's something I picked up from Romo. At one point 1153 00:57:28,240 --> 00:57:31,480 Speaker 1: this year, he said, Ask any veteran quarterback and they'll say, 1154 00:57:32,040 --> 00:57:34,440 Speaker 1: don't do anything tricky on the kickoff. Don't dance around. 1155 00:57:34,520 --> 00:57:36,320 Speaker 1: Just give me the ball at the tent and let 1156 00:57:36,360 --> 00:57:38,400 Speaker 1: me take it from there. Don't get me stuck with 1157 00:57:38,480 --> 00:57:40,680 Speaker 1: my back against the end zone. So Brady gets into 1158 00:57:40,800 --> 00:57:44,560 Speaker 1: a fourth and long situation, completes a pass, gets the 1159 00:57:44,600 --> 00:57:46,880 Speaker 1: ball up around midfield. But now he has no time 1160 00:57:46,920 --> 00:57:50,000 Speaker 1: outs and the clocks against some nine seconds to play. Uh. 1161 00:57:50,080 --> 00:57:53,400 Speaker 1: He evades pressure. Uh, and let's hear the call one 1162 00:57:53,440 --> 00:57:57,480 Speaker 1: more time, this from the team Zolak uh w e I. 1163 00:57:57,680 --> 00:58:00,640 Speaker 1: The final play of Super Bowl fifty two, Tom takes 1164 00:58:00,680 --> 00:58:03,800 Speaker 1: the Now he's pressured, he moves up, he slips the rush, 1165 00:58:04,000 --> 00:58:05,919 Speaker 1: he steps to his right, he loads up, He throws 1166 00:58:05,960 --> 00:58:08,520 Speaker 1: deep downfield. Rock is there at the gold line. Call 1167 00:58:08,600 --> 00:58:12,600 Speaker 1: it's up in the air. Bet it around and it's incomplete, 1168 00:58:13,400 --> 00:58:18,480 Speaker 1: And the Photolphi Eagles, for the first time in their history, 1169 00:58:18,720 --> 00:58:28,760 Speaker 1: are Super Bowl champions. What is this place? They call 1170 00:58:28,840 --> 00:58:33,440 Speaker 1: it the New England. Why are the inhabitants so pleased 1171 00:58:33,480 --> 00:58:37,120 Speaker 1: with themselves? They are known as the people of the Zolac. 1172 00:58:37,680 --> 00:58:41,959 Speaker 1: Their loutish behavior as indigenous to the region. I see, 1173 00:58:42,800 --> 00:58:48,400 Speaker 1: I command you to destroy them all as you wish, Lord, Lord, Yes, 1174 00:58:49,680 --> 00:58:54,800 Speaker 1: how about them apples?

What 1179 00:59:30,480 --> 00:59:33,880 Speaker 1: a beautiful super Bowl. Sunday recorded it, thinking, probably won't 1180 00:59:33,880 --> 00:59:35,840 Speaker 1: be using this. We didn't know. I missed the Super 1181 00:59:35,880 --> 00:59:38,640 Speaker 1: Bowl post Super Bowl shows where we didn't have drops. 1182 00:59:38,640 --> 00:59:40,280 Speaker 1: I think it was good, just the four of us talking. 1183 00:59:40,960 --> 00:59:43,760 Speaker 1: Those days are gone, my friend h So there you go. 1184 00:59:44,160 --> 00:59:46,680 Speaker 1: The Eagles are the Super Bowl champions. I went on 1185 00:59:46,760 --> 00:59:49,640 Speaker 1: the field after the game, and just as luck would 1186 00:59:49,680 --> 00:59:52,520 Speaker 1: have it, I ran into a good friend of ours, 1187 00:59:53,200 --> 00:59:57,600 Speaker 1: Colleen Wolf, with tears in her eyes, emotional. Gave her 1188 00:59:57,600 --> 00:59:59,160 Speaker 1: a hug, and then I asked her if I could 1189 00:59:59,320 --> 01:00:01,920 Speaker 1: you know ask her a couple of questions. I'm here 1190 01:00:01,960 --> 01:00:06,440 Speaker 1: on the field with a teary eyed Colleen Wolf. The 1191 01:00:06,560 --> 01:00:09,520 Speaker 1: Eagles are Super Bowl champions. Your thoughts.

Um, 1201 01:00:35,520 --> 01:00:38,080 Speaker 1: I wouldn't normally say go Eagles, but they want this 1202 01:00:38,280 --> 01:00:41,680 Speaker 1: is crazy. I don't even know what to do. That 1203 01:00:41,800 --> 01:00:43,680 Speaker 1: was a really nice movement moment with Connie and then 1204 01:00:43,720 --> 01:00:46,400 Speaker 1: I'm walking off the field. Andrew Howard who works on 1205 01:00:46,440 --> 01:00:50,320 Speaker 1: the third floor, another good guy, uh and Eagles fan 1206 01:00:50,440 --> 01:00:54,280 Speaker 1: just standing with tears in his eyes. It's team that 1207 01:00:54,400 --> 01:00:57,880 Speaker 1: fan base, I mean, I mean and the Eagles fans. 1208 01:00:57,960 --> 01:01:01,439 Speaker 1: Some some Eagles fans maybe aren't sweethearts, but the ones 1209 01:01:01,520 --> 01:01:04,240 Speaker 1: that we know, especially in our company, good people that 1210 01:01:04,400 --> 01:01:06,800 Speaker 1: never got this moment, so you can see how how 1211 01:01:06,840 --> 01:01:09,600 Speaker 1: it affects them. There is John Gonzalez tweeted out because 1212 01:01:09,640 --> 01:01:11,760 Speaker 1: he was at the game with Colleen who you know, 1213 01:01:11,880 --> 01:01:15,560 Speaker 1: the whole rigamarrele. Yeah, we don't have the sound clip. Yes, 1214 01:01:15,840 --> 01:01:19,120 Speaker 1: so their friend, though Christen Jasport Marks twelve is an 1215 01:01:19,120 --> 01:01:23,160 Speaker 1: American sports writer, was married. John resides in Los Angeles 1216 01:01:23,240 --> 01:01:25,280 Speaker 1: with his wife and two dogs. Sucked In their friend 1217 01:01:25,440 --> 01:01:28,440 Speaker 1: one of Colleen's friends from Philadelphia. He tweeted out this 1218 01:01:28,680 --> 01:01:31,880 Speaker 1: video and I'm sure she could. She couldn't be anything 1219 01:01:31,960 --> 01:01:33,880 Speaker 1: more than please that it's out there. But she just 1220 01:01:34,160 --> 01:01:37,400 Speaker 1: breaks down in tears uncontrolled. It's like when you see 1221 01:01:37,440 --> 01:01:40,200 Speaker 1: someone who hasn't seeing their veteran husband or wife come 1222 01:01:40,240 --> 01:01:42,520 Speaker 1: back from like Afghanistan after four years. I mean, she 1223 01:01:42,720 --> 01:01:45,000 Speaker 1: utterly lost it, and it's like, I totally get it. 1224 01:01:45,200 --> 01:01:47,280 Speaker 1: We were talking about this downstairs, dan As Jets and 1225 01:01:47,320 --> 01:01:50,080 Speaker 1: Browns fans or any fan of any team that's never 1226 01:01:50,200 --> 01:01:53,080 Speaker 1: been there. You cannot imagine the feeling. No, I can't, 1227 01:01:53,120 --> 01:01:55,000 Speaker 1: And I said that to Colleen. I just would be 1228 01:01:55,040 --> 01:01:57,240 Speaker 1: amazing to just have this feeling. So I was happy 1229 01:01:57,280 --> 01:01:59,360 Speaker 1: for but it makes you think, hey, if that happens 1230 01:01:59,360 --> 01:02:03,480 Speaker 1: to the Eagles, why of course? Why not? Why not? 1231 01:02:03,960 --> 01:02:06,000 Speaker 1: And that that moment listening to Colleen was one of 1232 01:02:06,040 --> 01:02:08,360 Speaker 1: the best moments I think we've ever had in the 1233 01:02:08,480 --> 01:02:11,880 Speaker 1: history of this podcast, and it's one reason as a 1234 01:02:11,920 --> 01:02:15,400 Speaker 1: Patriots fan, We've had it pretty good, and I think 1235 01:02:16,280 --> 01:02:18,800 Speaker 1: this loss will get more annoying. I'm sure personally after 1236 01:02:18,920 --> 01:02:21,520 Speaker 1: I leave and see some you know, during the week 1237 01:02:21,560 --> 01:02:24,520 Speaker 1: and think about it. But Patriots have had enough, you know. 1238 01:02:24,600 --> 01:02:27,040 Speaker 1: I'd rather them have made it to their eighth Super 1239 01:02:27,080 --> 01:02:31,040 Speaker 1: Bowl and lose this one than not have made this game. 1240 01:02:31,160 --> 01:02:34,080 Speaker 1: And they they got beat by a better team tonight, 1241 01:02:34,240 --> 01:02:37,680 Speaker 1: and the Eagles fans deserve it, and the Eagles, this 1242 01:02:37,840 --> 01:02:40,560 Speaker 1: Eagles team deserved it, and they get there, they get 1243 01:02:40,600 --> 01:02:42,600 Speaker 1: their moment. I think the peak of sports and the 1244 01:02:42,640 --> 01:02:46,160 Speaker 1: peak of fandom is when they generate unbridled joy, and 1245 01:02:46,240 --> 01:02:49,160 Speaker 1: the Patriots weren't generating unbridled joy like to the extent 1246 01:02:49,280 --> 01:02:53,320 Speaker 1: that the Eagles winning their first Lombardi Trophy would. All right, boys, 1247 01:02:53,400 --> 01:02:55,480 Speaker 1: before we check in out with our props, a quick 1248 01:02:55,520 --> 01:02:57,760 Speaker 1: word from our sponsor.

Other meetups are are 1277 01:04:25,040 --> 01:04:28,520 Speaker 1: the wives and girlfriends that are unmercifully dragged to the 1278 01:04:28,600 --> 01:04:31,600 Speaker 1: event and don't want to from our I think we 1279 01:04:31,800 --> 01:04:34,640 Speaker 1: have one who was there of our own volition. What 1280 01:04:34,760 --> 01:04:36,760 Speaker 1: a sweet woman she is. All right, let's go over 1281 01:04:36,840 --> 01:04:39,840 Speaker 1: the props. We'll start with Chris Wessling. First, you went 1282 01:04:39,960 --> 01:04:43,320 Speaker 1: four and four for the game. Uh, Patriots score a 1283 01:04:43,360 --> 01:04:47,120 Speaker 1: first quarter touchdown? No? Once again. They've been in eight 1284 01:04:47,280 --> 01:04:50,880 Speaker 1: Super Bowls now, Uh, five wins, three defeats. They have 1285 01:04:51,000 --> 01:04:52,920 Speaker 1: never scored a touchdown the first court. To me, it's 1286 01:04:52,960 --> 01:04:55,080 Speaker 1: just custom, especially in this game where you need to 1287 01:04:55,520 --> 01:04:57,480 Speaker 1: flew too close to the sun. I should have just 1288 01:04:57,560 --> 01:05:00,240 Speaker 1: went with they'll break their streak of not so. Weren't 1289 01:05:00,240 --> 01:05:02,040 Speaker 1: at all in the first quarter, but I didn't think 1290 01:05:02,040 --> 01:05:05,960 Speaker 1: I could reel you guys. It's a delicate balance and 1291 01:05:06,000 --> 01:05:08,080 Speaker 1: I think it's just another example of bad coaching in 1292 01:05:08,120 --> 01:05:10,520 Speaker 1: New England and maybe it's time for a change. What's 1293 01:05:10,560 --> 01:05:12,880 Speaker 1: freshen things up in New England? Please? Also, you had 1294 01:05:12,920 --> 01:05:15,400 Speaker 1: your al Michael's or Chris Collins will use the word 1295 01:05:15,440 --> 01:05:18,120 Speaker 1: goat when reverencing Tom Brady. I didn't get any tweets 1296 01:05:18,120 --> 01:05:20,080 Speaker 1: other than one jokey ones And it didn't matter anyway, 1297 01:05:20,120 --> 01:05:21,680 Speaker 1: because no one took you up on it. Right, that 1298 01:05:21,840 --> 01:05:26,000 Speaker 1: was that was just a complete and utter dud. Chris, Alright, 1299 01:05:26,040 --> 01:05:29,840 Speaker 1: this one's remark Sesler who went four and eight ouch ouch. 1300 01:05:30,240 --> 01:05:33,920 Speaker 1: Chris Hogan has one hundred and sixty plus receiving yards. Uh, 1301 01:05:34,000 --> 01:05:36,200 Speaker 1: this one costs you four sandwiches. And you know what, 1302 01:05:36,640 --> 01:05:39,480 Speaker 1: he came close at a halfway point. He had over 1303 01:05:39,600 --> 01:05:42,040 Speaker 1: eighty yards. I think he was about one thirty in 1304 01:05:42,120 --> 01:05:45,640 Speaker 1: the third quarter, and then he had a drop, a 1305 01:05:45,760 --> 01:05:48,680 Speaker 1: costly drop on the Patriots last drive that probably would 1306 01:05:48,680 --> 01:05:51,640 Speaker 1: have put him right on the cusp or over, but 1307 01:05:51,760 --> 01:05:54,520 Speaker 1: it didn't work out. Tough loss. I think that, you know, 1308 01:05:55,640 --> 01:05:58,320 Speaker 1: it's a pretty good instinct because he only had twenty 1309 01:05:58,360 --> 01:06:01,080 Speaker 1: four yards combined in the previous two games, and you 1310 01:06:01,520 --> 01:06:03,560 Speaker 1: if you had just said, you know, dred and twenty 1311 01:06:03,640 --> 01:06:07,080 Speaker 1: we probably would Ultimately I lost four sandwiches, so absolutely, 1312 01:06:07,120 --> 01:06:11,960 Speaker 1: and it was unfortunately Brandon Cook's injury I think made 1313 01:06:12,000 --> 01:06:13,920 Speaker 1: Hogan even bigger part of the game but didn't work out. 1314 01:06:14,160 --> 01:06:16,640 Speaker 1: Here is your other probably playing Super Bowl fifty two, 1315 01:06:16,720 --> 01:06:20,320 Speaker 1: receives a nickname and tops the helmet catch. No, that 1316 01:06:20,400 --> 01:06:22,800 Speaker 1: didn't happen. It didn't happen, cost you four more sandwiches. 1317 01:06:22,840 --> 01:06:29,840 Speaker 1: How about the little reckless yeah that's been used? I 1318 01:06:29,880 --> 01:06:33,200 Speaker 1: think I lost that too. About Philly special worth than 1319 01:06:33,280 --> 01:06:36,520 Speaker 1: one catch by Nick Foles, I don't think that that's 1320 01:06:36,560 --> 01:06:41,560 Speaker 1: not getting the helmet Jack Greg Rosenthal. A six and 1321 01:06:41,720 --> 01:06:45,280 Speaker 1: four record by Greg, because you got Nick Foles throws 1322 01:06:45,360 --> 01:06:47,680 Speaker 1: for over three hundred yards. In fact, this was the 1323 01:06:47,760 --> 01:06:54,360 Speaker 1: only one anyone got right about this predictions Dan Mark 1324 01:06:54,480 --> 01:06:56,840 Speaker 1: and west All took you on on that. I believe 1325 01:06:56,960 --> 01:07:00,640 Speaker 1: in you, Nick Foles, and that true. And if you 1326 01:07:00,760 --> 01:07:03,560 Speaker 1: just would have had a more like logical second one, 1327 01:07:03,600 --> 01:07:05,080 Speaker 1: maybe you would have cleaned up. But yet that was 1328 01:07:05,280 --> 01:07:08,120 Speaker 1: Doug Peterson will fail on a terrible challenge, and that 1329 01:07:08,280 --> 01:07:12,479 Speaker 1: costs you four sangwiches. Believed him. Huh, he really spent 1330 01:07:12,560 --> 01:07:15,400 Speaker 1: a bit on that one. The old zeusser when five 1331 01:07:15,480 --> 01:07:18,479 Speaker 1: and six Tom Brady win Super Bowl V win Super 1332 01:07:18,480 --> 01:07:21,320 Speaker 1: Bowl MVP, you got the field close. Only Patrick took 1333 01:07:21,400 --> 01:07:25,400 Speaker 1: me on that. Uh, and uh he gets the sandwich there. 1334 01:07:27,640 --> 01:07:30,000 Speaker 1: You know Dan's living well when he doesn't even lose 1335 01:07:30,080 --> 01:07:34,840 Speaker 1: sandwiches on on that and zach Ertz and Nelson Aguilar 1336 01:07:35,320 --> 01:07:37,520 Speaker 1: combined for at least a hundred and sixty yards. I 1337 01:07:37,600 --> 01:07:39,480 Speaker 1: believe it was very close. I think it was in 1338 01:07:39,520 --> 01:07:42,600 Speaker 1: the range of one hundred and fifty. But I fell short. 1339 01:07:42,680 --> 01:07:44,480 Speaker 1: But you know what, I'm gonna live with it because 1340 01:07:44,520 --> 01:07:46,880 Speaker 1: the Patriots lost the Super Bowl today, I'm not gonna 1341 01:07:46,920 --> 01:07:53,000 Speaker 1: get too greedy. And finally, the big winner, the big winner, 1342 01:07:53,120 --> 01:07:57,440 Speaker 1: Kevin Patrick finishes six and two. Uh Dion Lewis will 1343 01:07:57,480 --> 01:08:00,040 Speaker 1: have more rushing yards than le Garrett Blunt and j A. 1344 01:08:00,160 --> 01:08:03,680 Speaker 1: G I. He lost two sandwiches there, and then Dan 1345 01:08:03,800 --> 01:08:08,200 Speaker 1: Hansis will not break news post game. I don't think 1346 01:08:08,240 --> 01:08:10,919 Speaker 1: I broke news. As the lights go out at US 1347 01:08:10,960 --> 01:08:13,600 Speaker 1: Bank Stadium, it's time for us to go. But I 1348 01:08:13,680 --> 01:08:16,560 Speaker 1: did get that exclusive with Connie Fox. But exclusive is 1349 01:08:16,600 --> 01:08:18,920 Speaker 1: not the same as breaking news. I don't think anyone 1350 01:08:19,640 --> 01:08:22,200 Speaker 1: outside of this podcast is going to count that as news. Well, 1351 01:08:22,280 --> 01:08:24,759 Speaker 1: I lost the sandwich here, so I'm in the business 1352 01:08:24,800 --> 01:08:27,200 Speaker 1: of trying to get you back into the conversation that 1353 01:08:27,280 --> 01:08:29,840 Speaker 1: you did break news. Some help. That's something going here 1354 01:08:30,040 --> 01:08:32,200 Speaker 1: for me. Yeah, he does a great job. Nick Fortier, 1355 01:08:32,280 --> 01:08:34,559 Speaker 1: he has this one still open, so maybe he's waiting 1356 01:08:34,600 --> 01:08:36,439 Speaker 1: to see how we come down on it. So there 1357 01:08:36,479 --> 01:08:40,760 Speaker 1: you go. That's it. Another season, gentlemen, is in the 1358 01:08:40,880 --> 01:08:42,760 Speaker 1: books if you could believe it. I think is our 1359 01:08:42,840 --> 01:08:46,479 Speaker 1: fifth super Bowl show. Uh, the night of the super Bowl. 1360 01:08:46,920 --> 01:08:49,479 Speaker 1: It's an honor working with you boys. Isn't it a 1361 01:08:49,520 --> 01:08:51,760 Speaker 1: tradition that we do one big takeaway from the super Bowl? 1362 01:08:52,320 --> 01:08:54,600 Speaker 1: Before you guys do want to take away? I have 1363 01:08:55,200 --> 01:09:00,240 Speaker 1: a presentation of sorts. Okay, where do you go while 1364 01:09:00,240 --> 01:09:02,960 Speaker 1: I get this? Uh? Hang in one second, you guys 1365 01:09:03,040 --> 01:09:06,360 Speaker 1: win over your your locks. And we discussed before we 1366 01:09:06,479 --> 01:09:10,840 Speaker 1: left for the super Bowl. Yeah, a potential trophy from 1367 01:09:10,880 --> 01:09:13,920 Speaker 1: the listeners that's going to be waiting for us in California, 1368 01:09:13,960 --> 01:09:16,560 Speaker 1: which it is right, But before we get that, we 1369 01:09:16,640 --> 01:09:20,960 Speaker 1: have one that I had specially made just for the winner, 1370 01:09:22,080 --> 01:09:25,240 Speaker 1: along with the proper engraving plates. So let me get 1371 01:09:25,240 --> 01:09:28,280 Speaker 1: it for you guys. Wow, what what is uh? Lindsay, 1372 01:09:28,360 --> 01:09:31,000 Speaker 1: fulltown has got something cooking? Did you bring the saw 1373 01:09:31,160 --> 01:09:34,040 Speaker 1: for Mark to sell it? In half? Now we resolved 1374 01:09:34,080 --> 01:09:37,160 Speaker 1: that one peacefully, as everyone is now aware. Lindsay now 1375 01:09:37,640 --> 01:09:42,439 Speaker 1: crawling under a table keeps her balance. Very impressive work. Now, 1376 01:09:42,520 --> 01:09:48,240 Speaker 1: she's throwing a chair being opened and outcomes. Look at this. Oh, 1377 01:09:48,439 --> 01:10:00,959 Speaker 1: a gorgeous wow. Okay, okay, it's a and for the listeners, 1378 01:10:01,080 --> 01:10:03,920 Speaker 1: it is a gorgeous trophy. Mark, I'll let you hold 1379 01:10:03,960 --> 01:10:05,800 Speaker 1: on to it for now. This is beautiful. Maybe we'll 1380 01:10:05,800 --> 01:10:11,280 Speaker 1: take a photo with it. But a lock trophy that 1381 01:10:11,640 --> 01:10:15,519 Speaker 1: celebrates our first ever full season. Uh, not the most 1382 01:10:15,560 --> 01:10:18,880 Speaker 1: successful season in terms of success, but it was fun, 1383 01:10:19,400 --> 01:10:21,360 Speaker 1: as it always is on this podcast. So I've been 1384 01:10:21,400 --> 01:10:23,519 Speaker 1: feeling differently about that high thing. This looks very good 1385 01:10:23,560 --> 01:10:27,439 Speaker 1: at it looks that's one of the better looking trophies 1386 01:10:27,479 --> 01:10:30,160 Speaker 1: I've seen. It's really nice job, Lindsay and whoever else 1387 01:10:30,360 --> 01:10:32,840 Speaker 1: was part of that. Yes, so there you go. Um, 1388 01:10:33,680 --> 01:10:35,360 Speaker 1: all right, I don't know do we have time to 1389 01:10:35,439 --> 01:10:37,479 Speaker 1: Why don't we save our takeaways? West Let me just 1390 01:10:37,560 --> 01:10:40,400 Speaker 1: throw in one quick. Here's what I've learned the Patriots 1391 01:10:40,439 --> 01:10:43,080 Speaker 1: have taught us in their eight Super Bowl appearances. Same 1392 01:10:43,160 --> 01:10:47,599 Speaker 1: thing the Eatgles taught us this year. NFL comes down 1393 01:10:47,680 --> 01:10:50,360 Speaker 1: to a few key plays in almost every single game. 1394 01:10:51,000 --> 01:10:53,880 Speaker 1: The key is to get there. The Eagles could have 1395 01:10:54,000 --> 01:10:56,360 Speaker 1: lost in the opening round of the playoffs against or 1396 01:10:56,520 --> 01:11:00,240 Speaker 1: on the second round on Julio Jones's play. I guess 1397 01:11:00,240 --> 01:11:02,720 Speaker 1: season New England are defined by a few plays in 1398 01:11:02,840 --> 01:11:04,920 Speaker 1: all of these games. The important thing is to get 1399 01:11:04,960 --> 01:11:06,960 Speaker 1: there eight times, and that's how you build your legacy. 1400 01:11:07,720 --> 01:11:09,400 Speaker 1: But this is another one that came down to just 1401 01:11:09,520 --> 01:11:11,599 Speaker 1: a few plays, and that's how you win in the NFL. 1402 01:11:12,120 --> 01:11:13,840 Speaker 1: That's how they got That's how they got to buy 1403 01:11:14,080 --> 01:11:16,200 Speaker 1: I mean that that's why Carson Wentz is such a 1404 01:11:16,240 --> 01:11:18,519 Speaker 1: big part of it. I mean, they put themselves in position. 1405 01:11:18,640 --> 01:11:20,160 Speaker 1: I don't know if Nick Fole is gonna win three 1406 01:11:20,160 --> 01:11:21,680 Speaker 1: games on the road in the playoffs, but he won 1407 01:11:21,720 --> 01:11:24,800 Speaker 1: these two and then he just scorched the Patriots. Just 1408 01:11:24,960 --> 01:11:30,280 Speaker 1: get there, all right. Greg still has not processed what 1409 01:11:30,439 --> 01:11:33,559 Speaker 1: happened today. I'm I'm looking forward to your your tape 1410 01:11:33,600 --> 01:11:35,960 Speaker 1: study when it really sets in. I'm definitely not doing 1411 01:11:36,000 --> 01:11:40,400 Speaker 1: any tapes any Uh. We are now going to go 1412 01:11:40,600 --> 01:11:43,200 Speaker 1: back and have one, uh maybe a couple more drinks 1413 01:11:43,240 --> 01:11:45,400 Speaker 1: to Fridays if they'll have us, and then we're gonna 1414 01:11:45,400 --> 01:11:47,360 Speaker 1: get on a plane and and get out of town. 1415 01:11:47,400 --> 01:11:49,800 Speaker 1: Who has been great all the people that we met, 1416 01:11:49,880 --> 01:11:54,240 Speaker 1: the listeners. Uh here in Minneapolis, great people, friendly people, 1417 01:11:54,320 --> 01:11:57,719 Speaker 1: Mark Minnesota, nice even yeah, I was mocked for suggesting 1418 01:11:57,800 --> 01:11:59,720 Speaker 1: that on the last show, and I'm sticking to it. 1419 01:11:59,800 --> 01:12:02,280 Speaker 1: I think they're mostly very kind from what I'll agree 1420 01:12:02,280 --> 01:12:04,920 Speaker 1: with you, and that I was openly it was a 1421 01:12:04,960 --> 01:12:06,960 Speaker 1: bit of a showy moment by you. It was, and 1422 01:12:07,040 --> 01:12:09,679 Speaker 1: it didn't exactly Uh, it seemed a little bit fake 1423 01:12:09,800 --> 01:12:13,320 Speaker 1: on my parts. But no, everyone was really nice here 1424 01:12:13,479 --> 01:12:15,479 Speaker 1: and we and we enjoyed it a lot and enjoyed 1425 01:12:15,520 --> 01:12:18,360 Speaker 1: the stadium. This is a great facility. But that's it. 1426 01:12:18,479 --> 01:12:21,000 Speaker 1: That's the season, if you believe in.
