22

Speaker 1: yeah damage, No apology from you, damaging to me?

23
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 4: What?

24
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 1: Twenty four hours twenty four hour. What do you want

25
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 1: me to say, You're waiting for seventy two hours? What

26
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:23,039
Speaker 1: do you want me to say? Maybe ninety six hours,

27
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:24,959
Speaker 1: maybe maybe one hundred and twenty Maybe I made it

28
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:26,759
Speaker 1: takes a while waiting for twenty seven hours.

29
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 4: I mean, he's still it has to sink in right,

30
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 4: second layer, third layer to it really to where it

31
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 4: gets to the core of whatever he constitutes as his soul.

32
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 1: Look, I know, look last week and I feel like,

33
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 1: you know, now, I'm faced with reality. And when things

34
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 1: are when things are only in the abstract, it's okay.

35
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 1: But then when you're actually face with reality, it's like,

36
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 1: oh wow, man, this is actually happening. Like this is

37
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 1: the worst super Bowl, This is the worst Super Free

38
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 1: for you as a Jets fan, yes, yeah, well yeah,

39
00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 1: well yeah, it's worse. It's the worst super Bowl.

40
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 4: Well just say because it's been extrapolated to it is

41
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 4: the worst thing ever it is.

42
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 1: It's worse because the Poetriots are fan, the Patriots are in,

43
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 1: and Sam Darnald is in. Like, it doesn't get there.

44
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,079
Speaker 1: You couldn't say, Jason, what were you the worst mouth?

45
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 1: You can say the beginning of the season, what's the

46
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 1: worst matchup you could possibly think of in the Super Bowl,

47
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 1: I would say, well, Patriots obviously, and then probably if

48
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 1: Sam Darnald takes the Seahawks of the Super Bow, that'd

49
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 1: be worse than the Giants. Worse than Jackson Dart coming

50
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 1: in and taking the Giant. Worst would be Sam Darnald

51
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 1: right worse because he's the guy that we had in

52
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 1: our building and we couldn't make it work because he's stunk.

53
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 1: The coaching staff stunk, everybody stunk.

54
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 4: No.

55
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 1: To be fair, though, the Giants.

56
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,679
Speaker 4: Would have crushed your soul for a whole other reason

57
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 4: because they've just recently in the last couple of years

58
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 4: seemingly entered the dumpster fire world.

59
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 1: With the Jets. Yeah, but I just saw that with

60
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 1: the Patriots. They were in the dumpster fire world too,

61
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 1: right after Belichick, and now look where they are. Hey,

62
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 1: new head coach, the same players knew everything good.

63
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,359
Speaker 4: Yeah, but it's still the New York, New Jersey thing.

64
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 4: Like the Patriots are there as the Nets, so them

65
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 4: getting good. Okay, fight, but it's the Giants. Remember when

66
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,799
Speaker 4: we were talking about Joe Sheen, Remember when we were

67
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:08,919
Speaker 4: talking about the Oder Gode.

68
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 1: As long as you go to Eagles. I don't know

69
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 1: how I get up. Hey there is and he.

70
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 4: Runs for two thousand yards in a super Bowl all

71
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 4: that stuff. If Jackson Dart suddenly took that team to

72
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 4: the Promised Land, that I think that might have hurt

73
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,799
Speaker 4: you more. No, No, because you said you'd gotten over

74
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 4: the same dark.

75
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 1: But I've seen him. Well that's the thing. It was

76
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,639
Speaker 1: more abstract where it was like Sam Darnold the Super Bowl.

77
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, Now I'm like, oh man, And mainly because

78
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:41,119
Speaker 1: of this, right, yeah, mainly because I thought after yesterday

79
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 1: the games happen and I sit down and tell my

80
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 1: wife I need a minute because she knows, and she

81
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 1: I said, yeah, this is off, I need a minute.

82
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 1: She goes okay, and I said, okay. My first thought

83
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 1: was I'm gonna lean Seahawks in a team I'm rooting

84
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 1: for because I clear like, I can't root for the

85
00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 1: Patriots being my entire life. But I'm a root for

86
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 1: said because Darnald's a good dude. He's turned out to

87
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 1: be a really good quarterback. Again shows you that there's

88
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 1: a system for everyone, and it doesn't mean there's one system.

89
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 1: Sometimes maybe half the league would have a good system

90
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 1: for you. Half the league because half the team Sam

91
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:17,279
Speaker 1: Darnald was with, he was terrible for wrong system, wrong everything,

92
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 1: couldn't make anything happen. You can say that, hey, good quarterbacks,

93
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,039
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter what system you're in. Okay, I could

94
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 1: see that in theory, but clearly there's a way you

95
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 1: can help quarterbacks. Right. But now two systems he's been

96
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 1: in since then, Hey, great systems for him, right, so

97
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 1: you know two of them because he was with the

98
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 1: Jets long enough. He is with the Panthers long enough

99
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:37,799
Speaker 1: to say, okay, not for him. Wasn't with the forty

100
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 1: nine ers long enough. But now with the Vikings and

101
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,840
Speaker 1: now the Panthers. Okay, so there's a system for everyone. Right.

102
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 1: I didn't play a.

103
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:47,480
Speaker 4: Lot with the forty nine ers, he was there, right,

104
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:51,040
Speaker 4: and you at least got to see a functional organization. Yeah,

105
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 4: whatever Matt rules over there in Carolina, and I mean

106
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 4: he had him and Baker Mayfield. Remember, I've got the

107
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 4: training cards to prove it. And then well, Jets.

108
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 1: So I started thinking, well, I'm gonna lean because I'm

109
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 1: happy for Darnald, right, I genuinely am right, genuinly No, No,

110
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 1: I'm not lying. I genuinely am happy, not happy.

111
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:16,599
Speaker 4: This is lover that up and got married. I'm like, yeah,

112
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,279
Speaker 4: if you were happy, you'd be rooting for him.

113
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,039
Speaker 1: You're singing Billy Ray Cyrus. It could have been me.

114
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:26,719
Speaker 1: I'm happy for him personally, yes I am. But when

115
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:30,719
Speaker 1: I thought about how am I gonna feel next in

116
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,599
Speaker 1: two weeks if I got to watch confetti coming down

117
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:38,280
Speaker 1: in San Francisco and Darnald with his Seahawks hat on

118
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 1: accepting the MVP trophy, holding up the Lombardi Trophy being

119
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 1: asked about his journey and saying, I'm not thinking about

120
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 1: that right now. This is a great group of guys,

121
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 1: great situation, everybody cheering. I'm gonna go this was the

122
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 1: guy we drafted at number three overall, and clearly he's

123
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:55,920
Speaker 1: good enough to win the super Bowl. But he wasn't

124
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 1: even good enough to win eight games with us. That's

125
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 1: gonna really even depress me, man like. And I realized, WHOA,

126
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 1: I don't know that I can have that either, And

127
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 1: I started thinking back to maybe would it be the

128
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,159
Speaker 1: worst thing if the Patriots won. I've seen the Patriots

129
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:13,479
Speaker 1: win many times before. Yes, this is new coach, new quarterback,

130
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 1: new players, knew everything. Yes, they went from four and

131
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 1: thirteen last year to the super Bowl. Yes, both our

132
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:22,039
Speaker 1: teams had similar talent coming into the season. Yes, both

133
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 1: of our teams had a new head coach. One head

134
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:26,799
Speaker 1: coach decided, I gonna burn it all to the ground

135
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 1: and and and and bringing a whole new culture. And

136
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 1: one coach said, yeah, I'm good. I'm good. I can

137
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:33,480
Speaker 1: I can find a way to impact the team because

138
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 1: I'm a good head coach and I can. So, Yeah,

139
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 1: that's tough. But I started going back, going, oh, is

140
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 1: that something I'd rather see? Would I'd rather see that?

141
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 1: Would I be okay? With the anointing of Drake May

142
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:45,720
Speaker 1: as the next Tom Brady and wondering second youngest quarterback ever,

143
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:47,840
Speaker 1: maybe he went as many as Brady, Maybe he's better

144
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 1: than Brady because you're wall, I'm waiting for that, have there.

145
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 1: I can't believe we haven't gotten to that yet, because

146
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 1: we were they want, you know, Patriots fans wanted to

147
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 1: make Mac Jones and Tom Brady after his third training

148
00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 1: camp practice, He's doing things Tom Brady never did his

149
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 1: first year with the Patriots. I can't believe we haven't

150
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:04,840
Speaker 1: gone to Drake May's on pace to be better than Brady.

151
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 1: I mean, here he is, and you know, second year,

152
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,279
Speaker 1: youngest quarterback, get there. Brady's first year is a start

153
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 1: and they won the suit. It doesn't matter, it doesn't

154
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 1: matter when to make them do. So I'm wondering which

155
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 1: I would be more. Okay. Look, I'm not gonna be

156
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 1: okay with either of them. Yeah, but I gotta live

157
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 1: with one of them. Right, I understand that, right, I mean,

158
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 1: this is this is what people understand when they go

159
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 1: to vote in politics. People who say, oh, I'm not

160
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 1: voting I don't like either the people, Well, you understand

161
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 1: that's the only two choices. One of them is going

162
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 1: to win. So pick pick somebody you'd rather be, your

163
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 1: governor or your senator, or your representative, or someone on

164
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 1: the school board or the president. Pick the one you'd

165
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 1: rather be. Because there's only two choices. I'm sorry you

166
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 1: want I'd want more choices too, but there's only two.

167
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 1: You gotta pick one. Like, I know this is happening,

168
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 1: and I know I'm going to get one of them.

169
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 1: There's not gonna be something likely, darnold. There's not gonna

170
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 1: be some crazy moment where at the end of a

171
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 1: long overtime. Donald and Drake May you know, clutch hands

172
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 1: and they hold up and they go, We're gonna eat

173
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 1: the poison berries in here.

174
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 3: Stop Stop the Hunger Games. Left two champions Cat has

175
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 3: ever Dane a pena Malark like. I know that's not

176
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 3: going to happen. I know one of them is going

177
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 3: to win. So I have to I have to get

178
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 3: right with which one. I'm okay with happening.

179
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 4: Number one, don't blame me. I voted for codos two.

180
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 4: Everything gettn be per patched through the Simpsons universe.

181
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 1: Now as we look at to cook forty humans? How

182
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 1: to cook for forty humans? That's right?

183
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 4: So well we look at the Donald conundrum for you,

184
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 4: it's the uh, the greatest thing. And I'd love to

185
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 4: get this up on the change dot org site. Right,

186
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 4: we had that petition that what seventy thousand people had

187
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:43,080
Speaker 4: to bring back McDermott to get Sam Donald to do

188
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 4: Dusty Rhodes Hard Times speech when he goes up and accept.

189
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:51,080
Speaker 1: Either you're gonna say to get Sam Darnald to go

190
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:54,319
Speaker 1: back to the gets No no, no, no, no, no

191
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 1: no no. He's a bargain for over fit. About that

192
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 1: for a second, three years. Yeah, a year. That's a bleeping.

193
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 4: Bargain in the today's day and age of quarterbacks. Bargain

194
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 4: Sam Donald still making one hundred million dollars over three

195
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 4: years bargain. But you look at him and the evolution

196
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 4: of this and the roster that they put together. McDonald's

197
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 4: just got a little bit of crazy to him. But

198
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 4: I understand your vexation, right, it's certainly that which is

199
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:31,560
Speaker 4: the greater evil and the Patriots. You watched it for

200
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 4: two decades, but at least as a Jet fan, you

201
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 4: could say that's Jets Hall of Famer, Super Bowl champion

202
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 4: Sam Donald.

203
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 1: It was us. We had to break him for him

204
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 1: to rise. That's it.

205
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 4: It's like it's like what Christian Bale climbs out of

206
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 4: the pit and Baine like they had to get out

207
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 4: boiler alert.

208
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 1: I want to hit like like if he finished, he

209
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 1: wins that he wins in two weeks. And I want

210
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:00,959
Speaker 1: to thank Adam Gase. I'm sorry we didn't get a

211
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 1: chance to finish this journey together.

212
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 4: And he door d asked him a bunch of tacos

213
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:08,200
Speaker 4: on Super Bowl Sunday for his pregame, Patty, I'll give.

214
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 1: You this frostbook. I'll give you this right, but that

215
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 1: he's going to be better than Joe Montana if he

216
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:15,200
Speaker 1: wins this for overcoming the Jets, well, well, I think

217
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 1: I think Joe Montana would have difficulty if he wins

218
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:19,840
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. He's the greatest quarterback in the history

219
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:22,680
Speaker 1: of the league. Will you wear a fur coat? His

220
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 1: plot is gonna say I overcame the Jets. Yeah, that

221
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 1: is you overcame the Jets together. Do that really difficult?

222
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 1: Number one? Yeah, Now I will say statue stuff right

223
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:34,320
Speaker 1: there if you if you ask me, you know where

224
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 1: I'm leaning right now? My gut, my gut would say

225
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 1: that McDonald's, I say, well, yeah, I mean yeah, if

226
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 1: I mean free McDonald's, I wouldn't really care. I have

227
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:43,839
Speaker 1: a story about that. I just watched it. I just

228
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 1: watched the Puppy bawl instead. I don't want to watch

229
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:47,960
Speaker 1: this guy. Let's watch Steve Levy doing the puppy ball

230
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 1: but the puppy and Travis Clawsy and you know, uh,

231
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 1: but I would have to say that I'm gonna wind

232
00:10:56,600 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 1: up leaning Seattle just be could just because like I

233
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 1: think about like what it would be like going through

234
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 1: a whole off season, another year of the Patriots dynasty

235
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 1: being back and all that, and I think, yeah, I

236
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 1: think that's gonna be a little bit more difficult than

237
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 1: just Donald winning the super Bowl, because I think in

238
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 1: the end it might be able to throw my hands.

239
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 1: I go, of course Donald won the super Bowl whatever,

240
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 1: and my brain just might shut off, like one of

241
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 1: those times where I don't think your brain is working. Yeah,

242
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 1: I shut off right there. I couldn't comprehend what you

243
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 1: were saying, and I didn't want to think about it,

244
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 1: so I just shut off.

245
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 4: I ordered cheese for the Sunday so I have nothing else.

246
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 4: You can just get yourself in a cheese.

247
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:36,200
Speaker 1: World, Okay, Yeah, definitely wiel a cheese Sunday on Super

248
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 1: Bowl something. Yea, yeah, I know that. That's that. We'll

249
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 1: ship that in maybe ships I don't know, but I

250
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 1: love the cheese keeps honey. Okay.

251
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 4: But it's just that difficulty for you of trying to

252
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:50,319
Speaker 4: figure out are you ready for another run to.

253
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 1: Where Mike Vrabel is Voldemort. It's back, It's back, Valdemort's

254
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 1: It's yeah, it's you know. But but the other part

255
00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 1: of it is that.

256
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:01,320
Speaker 4: Does he gets you for the second potential dynasty. But

257
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:04,079
Speaker 4: if he was there as a player catching touchdowns against you.

258
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 4: But now I think, no matter what, like now they

259
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 4: play defense, no matter what, the Patriots are still going

260
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:11,560
Speaker 4: to be good and for the next few years, right,

261
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 4: I got to deal with that no matter what if

262
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 4: they win or they don't win, welleas Whereas yeah, eventually

263
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 4: they will if they'll have to play good, they might

264
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 4: not be. They won't get a bun into the super

265
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:22,959
Speaker 4: Bowl like they have but you know, hey, you can

266
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 4: on the schedule, advantageous stuff happens. But I start thinking,

267
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 4: are the Seahawks.

268
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 1: Really a team that's going to be in power for

269
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 1: the next few years or did they get it all

270
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 1: right this year? And and things are going to be

271
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:39,959
Speaker 1: more difficult. I have more things I think. Okay, well, yeah,

272
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 1: maybe if Darnold wins is the one off, he's not

273
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 1: going to come back. But if the Patriots win, like

274
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:45,199
Speaker 1: I got it, I'm gonna have to deal with the

275
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:47,440
Speaker 1: Patriots all the way if they win the Super Bowl

276
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:49,440
Speaker 1: again being a power. So, like I said, I got

277
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 1: a lot of emotions. Well, that division is still a

278
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:54,200
Speaker 1: pain in the ass. There's no guarantee to get back.

279
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 1: You only play them every four years. Yeah, so it's

280
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 1: you're not seeing them. Oh I don't care about playing

281
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 1: against it. No, no, no.

282
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 4: But but to where it's the it's game and there's

283
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 4: Sam Donald, Yeah no no, and there's super Bowl Champion

284
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 4: kind of like Oscar winner or Oscar, they're super Bowl Champion, Sam.

285
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 4: You keep the title, but you don't see that repeatedly,

286
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,320
Speaker 4: whereas you're gonna see the Patriots in this next generation

287
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 4: of whatever Variabel and Drake may have cooken twice a year.

288
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:25,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean really, like I said, it's it's tough man.

289
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:27,440
Speaker 1: I want to think I'm leaning Donald, but then I

290
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 1: think about it more and I go and I go

291
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 1: back to the Patriots and thinking I've seen it before,

292
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 1: so what does it matter? Like when the worst super

293
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:39,559
Speaker 1: Bowl for me before this was Patriots Giants the Mario Manninghams. Yeah, okay,

294
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:41,840
Speaker 1: when I was actually on the sideline for that game,

295
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:43,960
Speaker 1: I'm sitting there, going, man, one of these teams, I

296
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,080
Speaker 1: hate all of you, And I said, okay, the best

297
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 1: thing I can hope for is that one of these

298
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 1: teams is going to lose, right, And I said, who

299
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 1: would I rather see lose? And I thought in the game. Like,

300
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:57,320
Speaker 1: you know, honestly, I'd rather see the Patriots win because

301
00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 1: I've seen this Tom Brady Patriots team wins super Bowls.

302
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 1: It's happened so many times. If they win again, they

303
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 1: win again. But if I get Eli bleeping Manning winning again,

304
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 1: all the all the the headlines and sharing the city,

305
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:13,320
Speaker 1: suddenly the this between the Jets and the Giants moves

306
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 1: even more. I mean, I'd be more depressed. So I'm like, okay,

307
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 1: I was kind of okay, I was. I take it

308
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 1: with the Jackson Dart thing and what happens the Giants

309
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 1: wind up winning the Super Bowl. Yeah, you know, No,

310
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 1: I think with the Patriots it's a worse existence because

311
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 1: you're chasing them in division forevermore, forevermore.

312
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 4: Hey, wis Sam's still operating over you know, in weather

313

Speaker 4: inclement weather over there.

314
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 1: Like Nick Backai likes to say, advantage push, there are

315
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 1: no winners here. There's no way, there's no winners. There's

316
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 1: only the lesser loss. And it's not that much pick

317
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 1: in the draft. Yeah that's great. Yeah, they'll screw it up.

318
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 1: That's great. Thanks, Mock draft season has begun. Come on,

319

00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 1: coming off the NFC Championship game is the return of

345
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford. Yeah, will he come back? Will he not?

346
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 1: Following the Rams defeat at the hands of Sam Darnold

347
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 1: and the Seahawks a day ago, baby come back? Uh

348
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 1: lost baby hotline. Sean mcvayh was asked about it after

349
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 1: the game last night, and you see what kind of

350
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 1: question is that if he wants to what what the

351
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 1: hell kind of question is that? I love how mad

352
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 1: he got. He asks the question about Matthews.

353
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 4: He's always on the edge, man, He's riding the lightning

354
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 4: with every move right. You watch him stalk up and

355
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 4: down the sideline.

356
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 1: Like a like you know a cat when you go

357
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 1: to the zoo. It's like, Hey, what's what's that one doing?

358
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 1: He's clocking you. Yeah, that's what Sean McVay is doing. Hey, man,

359
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:01,520
Speaker 1: just see him making sure you're there. He lost to

360
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 1: Sam Darnald. Do you really think he's coming back? What

361
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:07,440
Speaker 1: do you mean I lost to Sam Donald? What do

362
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 1: you mean I can't challenge what he were talking about. Uh,

363
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 1: But when Stafford was asked about it, he says, not

364
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 1: thinking about that right now, I don't know, and I

365
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:19,639
Speaker 1: get you know, he's deflecting that you went and kids

366
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 1: in it. Kelly Stafford puts out in a very blue bedroom,

367
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 1: Like I felt like, is he tucking his kids to

368
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 1: bed in the night club? Like what?

369
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:27,159
Speaker 4: Like?

370
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 1: When I see the video of like what the he.

00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 4: There's there's gotta be some study that they read that

372
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 4: talked about the soothing light blue light is able to Uh.

373
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:37,640
Speaker 1: There was a dude, Just to tell you a quick

374
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:40,439
Speaker 1: funny story, there was a dude that lived on my

Speaker 1: are you doing? Don't turn the light and we don't studying.

386
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:12,640

387
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:14,919
Speaker 1: you not heard that studying without a light. You focus

Speaker 1: Didn't I'm gonna go if he wasn't studying. No, of course,

391
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 1: the course the guy wasn't. It was a sock on

392
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 1: the day playing it.

393
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 4: He was.

394
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:30,440
Speaker 1: He's playing a joke on him, and he says, don't

395
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:32,199
Speaker 1: turn the light on. So he didn't turn the light.

396
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 1: He didn't know how to react, didn't turn the light on,

397
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 1: got into you know, went over to his bed and

398
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:44,880
Speaker 1: opened the book and try well. I wanted to see

399
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 1: if there was something to do this that was hysterical.

400
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 1: Oh don't turn you know you could read better the

401
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:54,680
Speaker 1: lights of Oh right, right right? Yeah? How you get

402
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:57,439
Speaker 1: your night vision up? Come on, here's Stafford tucking his

403
00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 1: kids in bed. You just hear in the background, gotta

404
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:06,200
Speaker 1: get downstairs. Just guys are good up here? You guys

405
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:08,720
Speaker 1: are okay? Like it almost felt like with the lights,

406
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:10,640
Speaker 1: like when you're putting your kids to bed or someone

407
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:12,400
Speaker 1: young to bed. But there's a party at your house

408
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 1: and you go back downstairs. Hey kids, let's keep the

409
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:19,880
Speaker 1: door shut and everything else but downstairs. But is Stafford

410
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 1: coming back? Just understand, of course he's coming back. The

411
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 1: guy's gonna win the MVP this year. In the NFL,

412
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 1: every off season with Matthew Stafford is the same, and

413
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 1: this off season is no different. The last two years

414
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 1: after he's had big finishes to the year where the

415
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 1: Rams had to say to themselves, boy, it looked like

416
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:43,720
Speaker 1: we were getting out of the Matthew Stafford business. But

417
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 1: now we really don't have a choice but to bring

418
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 1: him back. What did Matthew Stafford do? I don't know

419
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 1: if I want to come back or not. Now I'm

420
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:54,240
Speaker 1: not sure and trying to get more money from the Rams.

421
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 1: And last year at this time Sean McVeigh said, we're

422
00:19:57,880 --> 00:19:59,959
Speaker 1: not gonna do that again. We're not gonna do it.

423
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:01,560
Speaker 1: He's coming back to play. That's it. Don't want to

424
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 1: have this conversation. Well, now Matthew Stafford has played out

425
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:09,360
Speaker 1: this year and again gonna win the MVP. So now

426
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:11,640
Speaker 1: of course he's gonna come back next year. At Stafford's

427
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:14,919
Speaker 1: been about Money's oldkra No one's gonna make more money

428
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,960
Speaker 1: in their NFL career in the history of the game

429
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 1: when it's all said and done than Matthew Stafford. Right,

430
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:23,199
Speaker 1: he hit it big, one of the quarterbacks that hit

431
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:25,440
Speaker 1: it big right before they changed the rule that you

432
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 1: know with with first round picks coming in, you can't

433
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 1: get all that kinds of money. Right away, He's got

434
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 1: two two hundred and fifty million dollar contracts. Like he's

435
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:34,680
Speaker 1: gonna walk away at the end being the guy that's

436
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 1: made the most money in the history of the NFL. Right,

437
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:39,920
Speaker 1: he's going to the Hall of Fame. You think about

438
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:42,959
Speaker 1: that for Stafford and money where he was after at

439
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 1: the end of his career in Detroit, Right, Like, yeah,

440
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,720
Speaker 1: poor Matthew Stafford all this now, now the guy's going

441
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 1: to the Hall of Fame, right, because there's no doubt

442
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford's going to the Hall of Fame. But this

443
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:55,440
Speaker 1: is just an extension. He's been a big businessman the

444
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:58,159
Speaker 1: whole time, understanding how to play the game. He's not

445
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:00,639
Speaker 1: gotten any more leverage than he has right now. Right,

446
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 1: What did Kelly Stafford say a year ago and in

447
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:05,000
Speaker 1: our podcast when she said, hey, if they don't want

448
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 1: to pony up. Hey, we love it here, but we

449
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 1: can go someplace else. All right. They know what they're doing.

450
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 1: They're very business savvy, the Staffords. So would he have

451
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 1: a market if the Rams said yeah to Rich Russ,

452
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 1: of course they would team saying, yeah, Matthew, come here

453
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:18,879
Speaker 1: for two years. We'd love to have you. Man, the

454
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:20,920
Speaker 1: way you sling it forty five touchdowns at the age

455
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,280
Speaker 1: of thirty seven. Yeah, we're good man. You seem young

456
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:25,399
Speaker 1: compared to Aaron Rodgers, who, oh, by the way, is

457
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:27,760
Speaker 1: probably gonna come back next year because Mike McCarthy is

458
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 1: coming back to Pittsburgh. Uh yeah, no, we're all good man,

459
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:32,720
Speaker 1: all good. Of course he's coming back, and the Rams

460
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 1: are gonna have to find money to sign him to

461
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 1: bring him back, and it's gonna be a big deal.

462
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a two year deal. It's gonna be

463
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:39,760
Speaker 1: a lot of cat that's it. Of course he's coming

464
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:41,920
Speaker 1: back next year. This is not I have to take

465
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 1: time to decide. You're gonna take time to heal. I

466
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 1: gotta think about this now. He understands pretty well how

467
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 1: to play the game. This is the same thing as

468
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:51,480
Speaker 1: it is the last couple of years, except now it's

469
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:54,640
Speaker 1: gonna be way more money for Matthew Stafford to come back,

470
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 1: more money than the Rams want to spend. But when

471
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:58,879
Speaker 1: the guy wins the MVP and gets you the NFC

472
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:00,879
Speaker 1: title game, yeah, what are you gonna You're not going

473
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 1: to bring him back.

474
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:03,160
Speaker 4: To Well, that's that's the thing, right as you got

475
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:06,240
Speaker 4: one more year on this deal, which has a forty

476
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 4: six to forty eight million dollar valuation to it based

477
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 4: on what I'm finding when you look at spot track

478
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:15,159
Speaker 4: and some of these other numbers you go through and

479
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:17,200
Speaker 4: you look at what's on the books for next year,

480
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 4: and some of those are going to change. Right, There's

481
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:21,359
Speaker 4: gonna be a bunch where it's dead money and a wake.

482
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:23,640
Speaker 1: And the Rams find a way. You think, boy, they're

483
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:25,399
Speaker 1: in salary capell. Nope, we're moving on.

484
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 4: But that's how you do the extension your dollar cost average,

485
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:32,160
Speaker 4: You push money out, you change it to signing bonuses,

486
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 4: all of those tricks of the trade as you go through.

487
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:38,440
Speaker 4: As it stands right now, he is sixteenth in terms

488
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 4: of contracts for next year. Now, some of that includes

489
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 4: tu and Kyler Murray and some other guys where that'll

490
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:48,120
Speaker 4: get finessed and changed out. That's what your jet Kyler Murray,

491
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:50,359
Speaker 4: ok yeah, probably okay, But all of that to say

492
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:55,840
Speaker 4: with Stafford, after this, he's walking back in. He won't practice,

493
00:22:56,440 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 4: He'll go through whatever that was of the preseason. Nobody

494
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:05,840
Speaker 4: gets healthier during year. Yet somehow Matthew Stafford did even

495
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:08,159
Speaker 4: that run yesterday. Where the hell's that been for the

496
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:09,480
Speaker 4: last fifteen years?

497
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:12,040
Speaker 1: Was saving it? He's not gonna make He's saving it

498
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:13,439
Speaker 1: for good, like my mom will.

499
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 4: We used to buyer that stuff, right, Hey, here's your

500
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 4: Christmas present? Did you ever wear it? No, It's in

501
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:20,159
Speaker 4: the back of the closet, and now I'm donating it,

502
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 4: saving it for good, I'm saying, he was saying by

503
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 4: like Matthew Stafford, like he's the only guy in the

504
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:27,800
Speaker 4: history of football that coming into training camp question of

505
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:30,919
Speaker 4: whether he can stand upright, and then he's scrambling for

506
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:34,399
Speaker 4: first downs at a conference championship game like he's twenty

507
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:35,120
Speaker 4: three years old.

508
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 1: Again, what the hell are we doing here? I would

509
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 1: normally agree with you, Jason about how Matthew Stafford's obviously

510
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 1: gonna come back, okay, and not after this one? Why

511
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:46,200
Speaker 1: not you don't come back after losing the Sam Donald woods,

512
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:50,200
Speaker 1: you just don't you take Donald retired him. I retired

513
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:52,359
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford. You turn on the blue lights and you

514
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:54,399
Speaker 1: hang with your fan. Oh, that would be the great,

515
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:56,119
Speaker 1: like WWE promo.

516
00:23:56,200 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 4: I'm telling you, gees, Sam Donald, I said, Stafford to retire, that.

517
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 1: Is soon to be Super Bowl winning quarterbacks. Sam Donald, Yeah, yeah, yeah,

518
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 1: you know, I'm I've already come to see. That's the thing.

519
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:12,880
Speaker 1: I've already come to grips with the fact that how

520
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna feel knowing one of them is going to

521
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 1: win between the Patriots and and Sam Darnald. Now, it's

522
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:22,399
Speaker 1: just what's gonna make me feel? Like? I understand that's happening,

523
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 1: So I but what's gonna make me feel worse? Donald?

524
00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 1: Who wins? Right? I mean really I thought Donald's maybe,

525
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:30,240
Speaker 1: but now I think it might. I know you now, yeah,

526
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:32,520
Speaker 1: it's it's it's gonna be hard. Like I just got this.

527
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:35,480
Speaker 1: Like like our editor ian who's a huge Jets fan.

528
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 1: We talk Jets all the time. He's working tonight and

529
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:40,239
Speaker 1: and he said, boy, chased it. I can't believe you're

530
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:42,000
Speaker 1: not happy for Donald. I said, yeah, I'm happy for Donald.

531
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 1: He goes, yeah, but you don't sound it. I go, dude,

532
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:46,440
Speaker 1: when you watch that Blanken guy lift the blank and

533
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:49,159
Speaker 1: Lombardi Trophy and you realize we took him third overall,

534
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:51,679
Speaker 1: how about blank do you think you're gonna feel? And

535
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:54,639
Speaker 1: he was like, oh, I didn't think about that. I said, okay.

536
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:58,720
Speaker 4: Now the other thing to extend my wwe link to

537
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 4: Sam Donald. It looks like Robert Rude, who's part of

538
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:05,479
Speaker 4: the larger talent development and used to be a wrestler

539
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:07,680
Speaker 4: that came out to a great glorious.

540
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:11,119
Speaker 1: So Sam Donald, after he wins, he'll be looking for

541
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:13,200
Speaker 1: the belt. Oh yeah, yeah, where's that belt? Gonna where

542
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:16,080
Speaker 1: you're gonna hold it up? Yeah? I mean now, and

543
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 1: you're gonna hate yourself and you see that now. Also

544
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 1: understand because he mentioned a couple of minutes ago you

545
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:27,440
Speaker 1: talk about returning Donald's. Donald's gonna come back Donald's. Oh now,

546
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:29,879
Speaker 1: if something happens to Sam Donald doesn't play in the

547
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:33,040
Speaker 1: super Bowl, whoa, whoa. If he gets an important.

548
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:35,880
Speaker 4: Injury, that's suddenly that.

549
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:40,200
Speaker 1: You said. Maybe he gets an important phone call from

550
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 1: who I don't know, maybe for I need you? Is

551
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 1: that important? Maybe he's gotta.

552
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:48,199
Speaker 4: Go uh uh, I don't know, maybe trying to make

553
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 4: him see Ia.

554
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:52,159
Speaker 1: Maybe as Cobus fiance has a pop up store that

555
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:54,560
Speaker 1: that she owns, or a clothing line or or a

556
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:56,520
Speaker 1: business that she runs. I need help on Super Bowl.

557
00:25:56,560 --> 00:26:01,119
Speaker 1: So I don't know. I'm just saying, if you just

558
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:04,680
Speaker 1: watch Grown Ups two. If something happens and he can't play,

559
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 1: maybe he's not feeling. Maybe you mailbox and put it

560
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 1: in his possession. That's a federal offense. Maybe he calls

561
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:15,359
Speaker 1: him sick, maybe something I can't do it. Okay, then

562
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:17,919
Speaker 1: it's different. But you know, Darnold, I was.

563
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:21,119
Speaker 4: Told he's dealing with a horrible oblique injury back to

564
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:24,960
Speaker 4: back weeks that kept him from throwing footballs and practicing

565
00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 4: at all, and then when he uncorked that forty one

566
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:30,680
Speaker 4: yard er to get things started, it was a miracle.

567
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:34,920
Speaker 1: It's like, I'm Glenn Close. It's a miracle even for you.

568
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 1: This is low. What are you talking about. I'm just

569
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 1: saying machine injury on If you're the one that said it,

570
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:42,680
Speaker 1: I didn't say to call. I said phone call. I

571
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:46,720
Speaker 1: said helping his fiance. I said that wouldn't make a difference.

572
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 1: Maybe not stopping you from playing in the biggest game.

573
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe it depends if it's a big

574
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 1: enough deal. Look what you did, it's a big enough deal.

575
00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 1: I mean, you have so much hate in your heart.

576
00:26:57,119 --> 00:26:58,720
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, if you get you know, my guy,

577
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:01,439
Speaker 1: I hate it's strong. What if? What if? What if

578
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:03,240
Speaker 1: one of his friends needs to ride to the airport

579
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 1: and they can't get there and he's got a fight.

580
00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 1: All right, I'll take Sam sign a.

581
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:11,560
Speaker 4: Three year, one hundred million dollar deal. He's sending a car. Hey, hey,

582
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:15,240
Speaker 4: it'll be the most luxury he tricked out car. You ever,

583
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:17,680
Speaker 4: you ain't showing up. You know who would do that?

584
00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 4: Lebron it's game seven? Yeah, But Maverick Carter needs a

585
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 4: ride to the airport.

586
00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 1: He's my friend. What do you want me to do?

587
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:30,879
Speaker 4: I know they're gonna have a verbal or literal slap fights.

588
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:36,920
Speaker 1: Jie boss driving You talk about one of those car

589
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:39,639
Speaker 1: rides where you just there's no one speaking, It's just

590
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:42,440
Speaker 1: the radio is going and that's it. Uh. But you know,

591
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:44,920
Speaker 1: listen just really quick, because you know he said Stafford's

592
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 1: gonna come back next year. Aaron Rodgers is gonna come

593
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:51,840
Speaker 1: back next year. Okay, Mike McCarthy's not taking this job

594
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:55,240
Speaker 1: not knowing what his plan is going to be a quarterback.

595
00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:57,960
Speaker 1: And it's clear the Steelers, you're not gonna have that

596
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 1: great draft pick, right, You're not gonna make a huge

597
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:03,000
Speaker 1: trade for a quarterback. You're not You're not in that

598
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:07,320
Speaker 1: phase of being desperate. Rogers played pretty well, and what

599
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 1: they will do is they will get their quarterback of

600
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:12,560
Speaker 1: the future, right, they will draft their quarterback of the

601
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 1: future at some point because this is that draft, said

602
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:16,840
Speaker 1: Will Howard, this is that Well maybe it's Will Howard,

603
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:19,160
Speaker 1: but this is that draft to get a quarterback that's

604
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:22,479
Speaker 1: really good later. So what I what I absolutely say, Look,

605
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:25,280
Speaker 1: McCarthy coming back, how is Rogers not gonna want to

606
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:26,320
Speaker 1: do this one more time?

607
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:26,679
Speaker 5: Oh?

608
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:29,119
Speaker 1: I thought it would be this one year with Pittsburgh

609
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 1: and I thought that was gonna be it and get

610
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:33,119
Speaker 1: out now because this is as good as it's gonna get.

611
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:35,639
Speaker 1: But wait, McCarthy shows up, your old coach. You won

612
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:38,480
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl with whoa, whoa, whoa. So now I

613
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:40,800
Speaker 1: mean this changes everything for Rogers because now I see

614
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 1: the Steelers as they'll draft their quarterback of the future.

615
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 1: Rogers will have one more year in Pittsburgh and then

616
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 1: and then he's then he's gonna call the quits and

617
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:50,240
Speaker 1: then maybe you turn it over to Garrett Ussmeyer or

618
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 1: whoever else is going to be. But that's gonna be

619
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:55,160
Speaker 1: that to be the plan. There's after seeing McCarthy get hired, like,

620
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 1: there's no way, there's no way, it's not gonna be Rogers. Yeah.

621
00:28:57,800 --> 00:28:59,640
Speaker 4: I mean, look, there's still things that need to be

622
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:03,160
Speaker 4: tweat in terms of attempt at airy yards and all

623
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:05,400
Speaker 4: those fun stats that we went through over the course

624
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 4: of the year. Offensive line tweaks, running back tweaks. Whatever

625
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:10,960
Speaker 4: he played for thirteen million.

626
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:13,760
Speaker 1: Dollars this last year. It ain't gonna be much more.

627
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 4: Much of a variation there. Which, in theory, if you

628
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:20,520
Speaker 4: get out from a couple of these other bad contracts

629
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:23,280
Speaker 4: from some of the elder statesmen that have now gone

630
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:25,320
Speaker 4: off the books, and you've got a little bit of

631
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 4: money to spend, your division's a mess, so you can

632
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:34,040
Speaker 4: go and replicate or better what you did this year.

633
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:36,240
Speaker 1: I could see them talking each other into, yeah, let's

634
00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:37,800
Speaker 1: do that. Let's go do that. Man.

635
00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:40,920
Speaker 4: Oh wait, wait, because you already have DK, you have

636
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,280
Speaker 4: your your running back. You probably need a bell cow.

637
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:47,200
Speaker 4: But but you have Friar mooth when healthy is not bad?

638

00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 4: I thought of one more. Yeah, getting ready to play

640
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:57,640

Speaker 1: We'll get to coming up in a minute. But and

768
00:35:57,239 --> 00:35:59,359
Speaker 1: this is something I think all fans are gonna go, Wow, bad,

769
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:02,160
Speaker 1: we are talking about bad. This was pa and I

770
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:04,960
Speaker 1: can't believe it's not a bigger story. But this was

771
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:10,240
Speaker 1: one of the worst weekends overall for officiating in NFL

772
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:14,840
Speaker 1: games that I've seen, simply because what was on display

773
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:18,480
Speaker 1: is something that's become a bigger trend.

774
00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:18,680
Speaker 2: Right.

775
00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:21,440
Speaker 1: But you know, you get a lot of NFL fans

776
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:24,560
Speaker 1: that understand, Okay, why why does Mahomes get this play?

777
00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:27,800
Speaker 1: Why does this play happen? Why does this play get reversed?

778
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:30,799
Speaker 1: Why does this play not get reversed? And what really

779
00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:33,680
Speaker 1: is starting to become apparent to me seeing this. It's

780
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:36,440
Speaker 1: not about calls that get reversed or calls that get

781
00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:39,520
Speaker 1: did they get overturned or calls are upheld? But how

782
00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:46,520
Speaker 1: some calls we spend ten minutes trying to get right

783
00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:49,520
Speaker 1: right and and and they're looking at it, and they're

784
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:51,520
Speaker 1: looking at it and looking at it from a thousand

785
00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:53,920
Speaker 1: different angles, trying to find a way to change it.

786
00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:56,680
Speaker 1: Can we change this call? Can we upheld this call?

787
00:36:56,880 --> 00:36:59,000
Speaker 1: We're trying to find a way to change the outcome

788
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:01,640
Speaker 1: because we're looking at it so many different ways, and

789
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:04,120
Speaker 1: there's some calls he would feel like, boy, you really

790
00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:07,480
Speaker 1: got to look at this and yeah right away, yeah, yeah,

791
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:10,080
Speaker 1: calls upheld. Yeah, we're good. We're not We're not overturning it,

792
00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:13,600
Speaker 1: right like Drake May's fourth down, tush push right, boy,

793
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:15,560
Speaker 1: it didn't really look like he got that first down.

794
00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:17,800
Speaker 1: But how quickly did they come back with, yeah he

795
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:20,319
Speaker 1: got it first down? Whoa really? Yeah, yeah, first down,

796
00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:22,160
Speaker 1: he's got it. Oh okay, we didn't want to look

797
00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:24,000
Speaker 1: at that a little bit longer. Nope, not gonna look

798
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:27,080
Speaker 1: at it. Cooper cups catch. Wow, I know it looked

799
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:28,840
Speaker 1: like maybe he didn't survive the ground. Has been a

800
00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:31,520
Speaker 1: big deal the last couple of weeks of completing the catch. No, yeah,

801
00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:32,560
Speaker 1: he's got it. Now, he's got it.

802
00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:34,640
Speaker 4: But I had the bigger issue of maybe his ass

803
00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:37,480
Speaker 4: hit before he extended the ball past whatever the line

804
00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:38,160
Speaker 4: of the game was.

805
00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:40,480
Speaker 1: But it was gone and it was done, and it's

806
00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:43,640
Speaker 1: like on the final play Boy, was was he tackled

807
00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:46,600
Speaker 1: in bounds? Was he because a play like that Normally,

808
00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:49,759
Speaker 1: you the referee signals it's out of bounds because pookin

809
00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:52,320
Speaker 1: the coupa's momentum carries him out of bounds. When he

810
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:55,120
Speaker 1: comes down, it's his body, it's his butt lands on.

811
00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:59,440
Speaker 1: But you don't ever see any sort of of of

812
00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:03,319
Speaker 1: play like that done without being looked at, like, hey,

813
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:04,560
Speaker 1: do we want to look at and make sure now

814
00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:07,640
Speaker 1: the game's over? The Seahawks think they want everybody's on

815
00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:10,279
Speaker 1: the field. No, let's not look at it like wow, really,

816
00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:12,680
Speaker 1: like I really That's what I get to when I

817
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:15,319
Speaker 1: think about conspiracies, not that oh they're you know, they're

818
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:17,759
Speaker 1: carrying the water for Mahomes or they're doing this. But boy,

819
00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:20,520
Speaker 1: there's some plays that they will go to the wall

820
00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:22,680
Speaker 1: to look at to try to get a different outcome.

821
00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:25,719
Speaker 1: And there's other plays where they where they're just as

822
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:27,920
Speaker 1: big a deal, just as tough to look at, and

823
00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:31,359
Speaker 1: they say, yeah, that's it. And you see that clearly yesterday, Hey,

824
00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:34,200
Speaker 1: the plays to favor, they they looked at more plays

825
00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:37,399
Speaker 1: and they were much more advantageous of the Patriots than

826
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:40,120
Speaker 1: they were for the Denver Broncos. They're much more advantageous

827
00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:42,920
Speaker 1: for the Seahawks than they were for the RAMS and

828
00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:45,400
Speaker 1: and that was really surprising to me that here we

829
00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:48,320
Speaker 1: are in these big games that hey, everybody understands you

830
00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:50,120
Speaker 1: want to take some time and get all these plays right.

831
00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:52,840
Speaker 1: But yet still that's the biggest thing to me is

832
00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:55,920
Speaker 1: at how watch how what the lengths they go to

833
00:38:56,120 --> 00:38:58,560
Speaker 1: for some teams, and how other times I just rubber

834
00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:00,560
Speaker 1: stamp and go yep, let's move on. Let's yeah.

835
00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:02,440
Speaker 4: I think the artist part to it is you get

836
00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:08,239
Speaker 4: into where you start to get more air into conspiracy

837
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:12,399
Speaker 4: theories and all of those kind of things that start

838
00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:15,400
Speaker 4: to fester a bit to just that point. All right,

839
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:21,040
Speaker 4: this team, this player, this coach, this narrative real or imagined,

840
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:24,560
Speaker 4: and you decide where you want to flip that coin.

841
00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:28,040
Speaker 4: But it's just that idea that you open up the

842
00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:32,000
Speaker 4: door to more conspiracy theorists in all of this, and

843
00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:35,160
Speaker 4: again owing to the larger business of the NFL, when

844
00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:39,120
Speaker 4: we have all the gambling parts to it, right and

845
00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:43,400
Speaker 4: those corporate partners and extrapolated from there, that there's so

846
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:45,560
Speaker 4: much more riding on it that you want to know

847
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:50,279
Speaker 4: that it's been given and vetted to its end. And

848
00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:52,840
Speaker 4: I don't know that we come out of this heading

849
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:57,520
Speaker 4: into the Super Bowl, feeling very confident about that. Now

850
00:39:57,719 --> 00:39:59,759
Speaker 4: right or wrong, and we can fight. Go back to

851
00:39:59,840 --> 00:40:04,000
Speaker 4: the Cooks catch no catch. I still wanted more discussion

852
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:07,560
Speaker 4: on the Mims catch no catch on the deep ball.

853
00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:09,439
Speaker 4: Did he possess it all the way through the ground.

854
00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:09,759
Speaker 1: I don't know.

855
00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:12,200
Speaker 4: I thought there was a second or a fraction of

856
00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:14,800
Speaker 4: a second where suddenly it's in between his hands and

857
00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:17,759
Speaker 4: not possessed. But that's neither here or there, all of

858
00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:20,520
Speaker 4: it to say that there's just so much a all right,

859
00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:22,120
Speaker 4: get him on, get him over, get him in in

860
00:40:22,239 --> 00:40:26,600
Speaker 4: some circumstances, and then others. We take long, long commercial breaks,

861
00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:29,319
Speaker 4: and we still haven't figured it out by time they

862
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:29,759
Speaker 4: come back.

863
00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:32,839
Speaker 1: Tell you that gets conspiracy theory. That gets conspiracy theory.

864
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:36,120
Speaker 1: How about conspiracy theory that maybe the NFL knew who

865
00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:39,239
Speaker 1: was getting to the super Bowl the entire season. That's next,

866
00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:39,600
Speaker 1: Fox
