We're in a room that is 6 00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:30,440 Speaker 1: free of trunks, filled with arms from another country. We're 7 00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:33,519 Speaker 1: sitting in chairs facing each other. We're in the same roable. 8 00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:36,960 Speaker 1: We're in the same room Jerry Seinfeld was in just 9 00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:39,720 Speaker 1: a few days ago, yes, where we moved to the 10 00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:43,160 Speaker 1: big leagues.

We all got tweets about 12 00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:48,960 Speaker 1: some sound issues the last podcast. Someone actually tweeted that 13 00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:51,720 Speaker 1: it sounded like I was in a coffin, which wasn't 14 00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:55,520 Speaker 1: actually far from the truth. But hopefully this sounds good. 15 00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:57,800 Speaker 1: And if it doesn't sound good, you know, we'll be 16 00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:01,720 Speaker 1: back in the studio next week.

I like, by the way, the places that 20 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,240 Speaker 1: can't use the Super Bowl language, the Big Game. It 21 00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:16,960 Speaker 1: just says, the Big Game like eat wings, watch the 22 00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:19,800 Speaker 1: Big Game in this bar, and you'll see that everywhere 23 00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:23,000 Speaker 1: around the city, easily mistaken for like a regular season 24 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:28,959 Speaker 1: Rangers tilt.

Today 47 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 1: was my favorite day of the week. UM just sitting 48 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,240 Speaker 1: down with the coaches one on one, talking to all 49 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,680 Speaker 1: of the position coaches and Jack del Rio, defensive coordinator, 50 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:56,399 Speaker 1: and it's just fun to talk football strategy, to get 51 00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 1: to know their player evaluations. So I did that today, 52 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 1: Just had a blast of the evaluations. H Richard Smith, 53 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 1: the Broncos linebacker UH. He talked a lot about how 54 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,839 Speaker 1: they have a rotation now since von Miller went down. 55 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 1: Paris Lannin and uh Nate Irving are playing early downs 56 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,160 Speaker 1: as thumbers in the run game, and then wood York 57 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 1: comes in and plays alongside Trevathan and uh and the 58 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,840 Speaker 1: nickel packages, and he thinks that that's a big reason 59 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,640 Speaker 1: for the success that they come in and they're just 60 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 1: playing balls to the wall for snaps instead of getting 61 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 1: tired after sixty snaps and he thinks that's a really 62 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:34,880 Speaker 1: good combination. He loves Trevathan and uh called him very 63 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 1: very very instinctual, that that is his best quality. That's 64 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,240 Speaker 1: how he makes so many plays. He has great instincts. 65 00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 1: He's a battler and said, really, he's been tremendous and 66 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 1: if you have watched the film, you can't come to 67 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 1: any other conclusion, is what he said. That was a 68 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 1: good evaluation. And then I talked to uh Jay Rodgers 69 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 1: defensive line coach and men Dropper about pot Roast and uh, 70 00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 1: you know it kind of asked him pot Roast was 71 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 1: always seen as like a big run player, prototypical nose tackle. 72 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,360 Speaker 1: How come he's all of a sudden a pass rusher too, 73 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 1: And he said, well, you know, if you just watch 74 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 1: the guy he's in that he's almost an athletic freak. 75 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 1: He said, I guarantee he could dunk up basketball when 76 00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,040 Speaker 1: he was younger. And he's just getting off the ball 77 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 1: so fast as timing is good. And uh, he just said, 78 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,520 Speaker 1: he just says natural god given ability that other players 79 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 1: don't have. Let me ask you a question, West, is 80 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:26,159 Speaker 1: there a player in talking to the coaches are talking 81 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,880 Speaker 1: to the players that is looming as a guy that's 82 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 1: way under the radar, that could make big plays and 83 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 1: potentially win this game. You know, I this was funny 84 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:39,240 Speaker 1: yesterday Type Tolbert, the wide receiver's coach, was asked that 85 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 1: exact question, and he predicted the Dame Dropper nickel back 86 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,839 Speaker 1: Tony Carter the most important play in the Super Bowl. 87 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:50,640 Speaker 1: I thought that was interesting to go with Tony Carter 88 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 1: from a guy on the opposite side of the ball, 89 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:57,280 Speaker 1: that's interesting. I would I would not expect that. What 90 00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:01,080 Speaker 1: about from a personality sense, like who is uh? Who 91 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:04,720 Speaker 1: has jumped out at you as being someone intriguing annoying. 92 00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:09,920 Speaker 1: It was funny today seeing how loose they all were. 93 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,280 Speaker 1: Peyton Manning said the tone with that with a hilarious 94 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:17,040 Speaker 1: press conference Um, and then Nate Irving and Danny Trevathan 95 00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,120 Speaker 1: just clowning on each other. Well you know, well the 96 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,360 Speaker 1: media was all gathered there. Irvy took the mic as 97 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:24,599 Speaker 1: all the reporters are walking in, it just started free 98 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:28,320 Speaker 1: verseon Um and then he as we're walking out, He's 99 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:31,760 Speaker 1: like Danny Trevathan, everybody it started just clowning on him. 100 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,239 Speaker 1: So that was to see the personality They're all feeling 101 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:37,080 Speaker 1: pretty loose right now. I have found that these Thursdays 102 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 1: with the teams are the best days because everyone knows 103 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:44,040 Speaker 1: it's the last media availability. They have talked to the 104 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:47,000 Speaker 1: media guys, those assistant coaches and the kind of the 105 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:50,160 Speaker 1: random players more in the last two days than they 106 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,559 Speaker 1: did all season, much less all week. It's been five 107 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 1: days of forty five minutes of being available. Everyone's happy, 108 00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,599 Speaker 1: They're happy getting closer to the game. There's less reporters there, 109 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 1: so it's out as crowded every everyone's just getting the 110 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,159 Speaker 1: fever that we don't We can stop talking about this 111 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 1: for a little bit. West, What about Can you give 112 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:11,280 Speaker 1: me one Peyton Manning's story or to take away being 113 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,360 Speaker 1: up close to it like this? You know, I've told 114 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 1: you as this before. I've always thought he had like 115 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:18,600 Speaker 1: uncle humor. I didn't find it funny. I don't think 116 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 1: it's commercials are funny. They're so overrated. But I thought 117 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,120 Speaker 1: he was hilarious. Today I thought he was very funny. 118 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:27,120 Speaker 1: He just took control the press confers, started messing with 119 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 1: the reporters. You know, he had basically everybody in the 120 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:32,520 Speaker 1: palm of his hand, and you could tell her. He's 121 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,919 Speaker 1: just gonna even especially jovial, moved to it. He definitely 122 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:39,679 Speaker 1: has uncle dress code. I mean he tucked his jersey 123 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:44,080 Speaker 1: into sweatpants. You know what I'm saying, sneering his sporties, Greg, 124 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,920 Speaker 1: So he probably is an uncle. Well, you can tell 125 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:48,719 Speaker 1: us where about what it's like to be He's almost 126 00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:51,039 Speaker 1: as old as he's an uncle. What is it like 127 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:55,839 Speaker 1: to be forty? It's a new territory. You've suddenly realize 128 00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 1: how wiser you are than people in their thirties and twenties. 129 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:02,120 Speaker 1: Sitting close to you and him, you can just you 130 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:05,719 Speaker 1: see things differently. It's a pretty you see things differently 131 00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 1: through your glasses that you're wearing with like three inch frames. George, 132 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:12,280 Speaker 1: did you have to buy when you turn reported? I 133 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 1: have never purchased shorts in my life, and that's a 134 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 1: streak that I'm a person of streaks. I'd like that 135 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:21,480 Speaker 1: streak to continue deep into my lifetime. West any final 136 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:25,200 Speaker 1: takeaways before we swinging to the Sessler side, Well, I 137 00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 1: feel like I think the people around me all seem 138 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 1: to be going with the Seahawks. I feel every day 139 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,000 Speaker 1: i'm with the broadcast, I feel more confident that they're 140 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:37,000 Speaker 1: going to win despite the fact that they are fated 141 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:40,880 Speaker 1: to lose, per your tweet and November listen, it's already decided. 142 00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:42,640 Speaker 1: We know that, but we're gonna again. We don't want 143 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 1: to ruin the suspense here, Uh and hold on, you 144 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:47,200 Speaker 1: kind of told us where you're going to your prediction. 145 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 1: At the end of the podcast, we will give our 146 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:53,119 Speaker 1: official predictions with the score. And Greg, as he's apt 147 00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:58,680 Speaker 1: to point out, nailed the score exactly and supermot seven 148 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 1: I did. I don't know if you guys heard about this. 149 00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 1: He also gave to charity no receipt se no receipt 150 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:10,880 Speaker 1: of that. Very hazy. I think if I got to 151 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 1: score right two years in a row, it would rival 152 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:21,200 Speaker 1: the greatest achievements in athletics history. Well, I mean watching 153 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:22,840 Speaker 1: out there, I mean, I mean, how hard is it 154 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:25,000 Speaker 1: to get the score right even once? Basically one of 155 00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:28,680 Speaker 1: the greatest achievements in civilization history. I agree, And you 156 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:32,160 Speaker 1: will have missed out on somehow financially rewarding this up 157 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,440 Speaker 1: of this, Well, you guys should give me ten thousand 158 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:36,880 Speaker 1: dollars if if I can get it right. I've never 159 00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,680 Speaker 1: hit ten down dollars in my life. I'll only give 160 00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:41,280 Speaker 1: it to you if you then give it to your 161 00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:45,040 Speaker 1: charity of your choice for the first time, and he's 162 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:51,960 Speaker 1: never done before. Mark Sessler, Seattle Seahawks, twenty five minutes 163 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 1: on Marshall Lynch starting now. You know actually brushed shoulders 164 00:08:56,160 --> 00:09:01,400 Speaker 1: with Lynch today. He's very bizarre. He was being escorted 165 00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:04,920 Speaker 1: by handlers out through a curtain and he just here 166 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,160 Speaker 1: embodies some of the guys I saw that today. There 167 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,719 Speaker 1: was a weariness to some of the Seahawks. Not the 168 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 1: main dudes that sit up at the podiums, but the 169 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:15,280 Speaker 1: guys that are floating around. Uh that you the reporters 170 00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:17,520 Speaker 1: are looking at their sheet to find out by number 171 00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:19,760 Speaker 1: who this guy is. He's never heard of him, and 172 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 1: it's like looking at him, No, I don't want to 173 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:23,559 Speaker 1: ask you a question. Keep walking. Some of these guys 174 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:25,680 Speaker 1: just wanted to bail and get out of there. But 175 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:30,320 Speaker 1: like West, I would say that this group won me 176 00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:32,240 Speaker 1: over this week too because of the way. And I 177 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,680 Speaker 1: know it sounds like we're just, you know, ripe to 178 00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:44,560 Speaker 1: be taken over by like Soviet Para and Goliath is 179 00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:48,040 Speaker 1: in a lot of trouble. I think we're painting a 180 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:51,520 Speaker 1: picture of market are the manchurion? Can you really are? Well? 181 00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:53,839 Speaker 1: But there it was like Belichick the other year. There 182 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:57,040 Speaker 1: was the big storyline all week was, Oh, he's loose, 183 00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:01,319 Speaker 1: he's having fun. Now it's the loose Patriots Belichick. Greg 184 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:05,319 Speaker 1: always swinging it back to talk they didn't make this game, 185 00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:11,200 Speaker 1: marsh outlets. I'm legitimately curious of someone that's been around him. 186 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:13,520 Speaker 1: What is your vibe of what you saw from this? 187 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:15,440 Speaker 1: I think this guy just wants to play. He wants 188 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:17,520 Speaker 1: to play the game. I don't think he wants a 189 00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 1: whole lot to do with all this. Obviously I didn't. 190 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:24,160 Speaker 1: I didn't. I didn't. I wasn't like in close proximity 191 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,080 Speaker 1: to him day after day because they were leaving the 192 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,920 Speaker 1: hotel all week. They had him today nestled in a corner. 193 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:32,559 Speaker 1: Were only seven reporters, me being not one of them, 194 00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:35,360 Speaker 1: were allowed to sit across from him and ask questions 195 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:38,960 Speaker 1: that had only football as the topic. And so I 196 00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:42,040 Speaker 1: started seeing tweets from a couple of these guys. I 197 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:43,960 Speaker 1: don't know if Greg needed to do a little more foot, 198 00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:45,520 Speaker 1: you know, a little bit more work to get me 199 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:49,839 Speaker 1: on that panel, but not even considered it didn't happen. 200 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:52,160 Speaker 1: So I can't. I can't go far down that well 201 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 1: for you. Can you even prove that you went to 202 00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:58,400 Speaker 1: the Seahawks media availability. I can spin a yard in 203 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:00,280 Speaker 1: the same way Westlan can. We have no I have 204 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:01,959 Speaker 1: no proof this guy got out of bed in the morning. 205 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:06,240 Speaker 1: But yeah, I let me say one thing with along 206 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 1: with west I am the takeaway from me was that, 207 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:12,360 Speaker 1: you know, the players are kind of trained to say nothing, 208 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,320 Speaker 1: but there was so much to learn from these coaches 209 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:17,800 Speaker 1: and Dan Quinn this week was one guy and we 210 00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,320 Speaker 1: talked about him a little bit on the show. I 211 00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:22,800 Speaker 1: really you know, when he came up, his name boiled up. 212 00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,440 Speaker 1: It's like a potential candidate for head coaching jobs here 213 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:27,640 Speaker 1: and there, and it's you just see the head shot, 214 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:29,760 Speaker 1: it's this guy with a goatee. Well, what's he about? 215 00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:32,959 Speaker 1: But he really is. He embodies a lot of what 216 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,800 Speaker 1: he's taken away from Nick Saban, from Caroline. He talked 217 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:39,360 Speaker 1: all week how this year's defense isn't just something he 218 00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:43,240 Speaker 1: inherited and is just doing Gus Bradley's job. He's mixed 219 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:45,880 Speaker 1: in what he's taken from each of these places, and 220 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:48,000 Speaker 1: everyone's kept asking him how, and you know. I said 221 00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:49,960 Speaker 1: to him, say, like, how are you gonna get to Peyton? Manny, 222 00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,400 Speaker 1: what is it with this how is this pass pass? 223 00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:54,600 Speaker 1: Whats gonna do what no other team has done? And 224 00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:57,679 Speaker 1: he he basically flipped the script a little bit on 225 00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,480 Speaker 1: that line of question and said, it isn't so much 226 00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:03,920 Speaker 1: our pass rush, it's that with our secondary. What we 227 00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:06,560 Speaker 1: do is we we trust each of these guys to 228 00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:08,880 Speaker 1: go one on one. All these quarterbacks at over there, 229 00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,520 Speaker 1: we don't double team in this secondary. We go one 230 00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:13,720 Speaker 1: on one on guys were comfortable doing that. And what 231 00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:17,000 Speaker 1: we're gonna do is take away from Manning that extra 232 00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:20,079 Speaker 1: second where that receiver typically gets into space because Manning 233 00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:21,800 Speaker 1: is so good at making that quick decision to the 234 00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:25,920 Speaker 1: right receiver that quinnbi said, if we can one more click, 235 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,520 Speaker 1: one more second of coverage, it's going to change the 236 00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:31,400 Speaker 1: way what Manning sees, what he's able to do with 237 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:33,240 Speaker 1: the with the ball. And so I thought that that 238 00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:35,360 Speaker 1: they were basically saying, we're gonna do what we've been 239 00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:38,120 Speaker 1: doing all year. We don't have a different scheme for Denver. 240 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:41,400 Speaker 1: We're gonna play our game. He he is used to 241 00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:44,160 Speaker 1: getting rid of the ball. No one got rid of 242 00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:47,040 Speaker 1: the ball fafter than Peyton Manny, especially over the end 243 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:50,079 Speaker 1: of the season. It's not an offense that's good on improvising. 244 00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:53,960 Speaker 1: I want you to make a choice, though, Mark every 245 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,800 Speaker 1: Super Bowl, I've noticed you fall in love with a 246 00:12:56,880 --> 00:13:00,679 Speaker 1: new coordinator, like a young like a young teen in 247 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:04,959 Speaker 1: like a new favorite band. If Greg Roman is at 248 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,280 Speaker 1: one end of the bar and Damn Quinn's at the 249 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:10,200 Speaker 1: other end of the bar, and you walk in and 250 00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:12,200 Speaker 1: they don't have time to just hang out all night, 251 00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:14,840 Speaker 1: you just have to have one beer with one of them, Sessler, 252 00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 1: and you have Slater and one right right, So I 253 00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:24,480 Speaker 1: need to be well, I will say this, Uh, you know, 254 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,480 Speaker 1: back in the day when you're when you're learning how 255 00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:29,200 Speaker 1: to date and you don't even know how to ask 256 00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:31,839 Speaker 1: someone out, and you're kind of I kind of want 257 00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:34,400 Speaker 1: to like swing the bat here and ask this girl 258 00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:35,720 Speaker 1: out and see if she's going a date with me. 259 00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:37,920 Speaker 1: I kind of wanted to ask Dan Quinn to go 260 00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,079 Speaker 1: out and let's would you have a beer with me? 261 00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:45,520 Speaker 1: I just want to I want to learn more. There 262 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,080 Speaker 1: was no way in my mind that the sentence could 263 00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:50,360 Speaker 1: come out without me probably being escorted from the building. 264 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 1: So I kept it. I kept that at bay. I'm 265 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:55,640 Speaker 1: gonna go though I've already had a beer with Greg Roman, 266 00:13:55,679 --> 00:14:00,600 Speaker 1: so I'm gonna go. Dan Quinn story holding a boom 267 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:06,280 Speaker 1: box up over his head outside dan Quinn's your think 268 00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:08,199 Speaker 1: we got to play royal? Well, we went out of 269 00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:11,680 Speaker 1: the royalties to Peter Gabriel. If West carried the melody 270 00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:14,280 Speaker 1: on that at all, I can't car But um, so 271 00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:16,280 Speaker 1: let me ask you the same question. All right, So 272 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:18,640 Speaker 1: you you would rather what would we take out of 273 00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 1: that that you want to date the dan Quinn? If 274 00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:25,800 Speaker 1: date is the quote, I think it's I would like 275 00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:28,600 Speaker 1: to learn more about the man, about what he knows 276 00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,280 Speaker 1: about football, all right. And the same question I asked West, 277 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:34,280 Speaker 1: who is there anyone that jumped out to you that's 278 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:38,680 Speaker 1: under the radar on that team that could make a 279 00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:42,480 Speaker 1: big difference on somewhere? Well, two guys kept. I kept 280 00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:46,400 Speaker 1: asking who's the underrated player on this team? Brandon mcbein 281 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:49,640 Speaker 1: came up over and over and over, So I think 282 00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:51,840 Speaker 1: he's got a chance to make a real different difference 283 00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:54,520 Speaker 1: for that defense. But I um, Doug Baldwin tell me 284 00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:57,120 Speaker 1: today and this is not an under the radar guy. 285 00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:59,240 Speaker 1: If you really follow the shocks, but that Walter Thurman, 286 00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:03,520 Speaker 1: he said, needs to get credit as well. But in games, 287 00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:06,600 Speaker 1: being the best cornerback for full games at a time 288 00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:10,080 Speaker 1: that we always talked about Richard Sherman, but that Walter Thurman, 289 00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:12,320 Speaker 1: he told me, was the guy. He feels that when 290 00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:14,600 Speaker 1: this game is said and done, everyone's gonna be talking 291 00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:18,080 Speaker 1: about it. Possibly the best designated nickelback in the NFL. 292 00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:22,560 Speaker 1: There you go, very good gentleman. By the way, while 293 00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:28,600 Speaker 1: you guys were um out with some Ukrainian people at 294 00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:31,160 Speaker 1: a bar, Polish people at the bar, including a woman 295 00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:35,560 Speaker 1: that was hunting after West. Great aggression from what I understand, 296 00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:38,480 Speaker 1: and we'll get more into it last night. Last night 297 00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:43,160 Speaker 1: I was at the J Glazer super Bowl party in 298 00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:47,040 Speaker 1: helen as a speaking of dates and other men, as 299 00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:51,600 Speaker 1: the date of NFL media insider Ian Rappaport, an old 300 00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:56,120 Speaker 1: colleague of mine, And that was an interesting scene. What 301 00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,800 Speaker 1: would you like some Super Bowl week flavor? What? What? What? 302 00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:02,400 Speaker 1: What was the scene like? Well, it was it was 303 00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:05,920 Speaker 1: very strange. It was basically like if you had to, 304 00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:09,280 Speaker 1: if I asked you to describe what a J Glazer 305 00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:12,640 Speaker 1: super Bowl party at a bar would be like I'll 306 00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:16,160 Speaker 1: throw it to you West. How would you describe it? Lasers? 307 00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:18,520 Speaker 1: All right, there were some lasers, Greg. I think there 308 00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:21,000 Speaker 1: would be a lot of you know, a lot of feet. 309 00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:28,040 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. I would picture on unsaddled 310 00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:33,880 Speaker 1: white horses wandering around. That is wrong. Any flunkeys and 311 00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:38,520 Speaker 1: hangers on, that is not wrong. So basically what this 312 00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:41,320 Speaker 1: party was, first of all, as and I wrote about 313 00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:42,840 Speaker 1: it on the Round the League Block, I never wait 314 00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:45,320 Speaker 1: outside to get into bars anymore. I left that behind 315 00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:47,440 Speaker 1: in my twenties. Well, you never have to wait, they say, 316 00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:54,240 Speaker 1: Mr Hans, I wish um, but no, So we we 317 00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:58,440 Speaker 1: wait outside. It's twelve degrees out. Finally get in shoulder 318 00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:01,840 Speaker 1: to shoulder, and it had so many luminaries. In fact, 319 00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:04,879 Speaker 1: when we were a flunkeys, when we were waiting to 320 00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:08,639 Speaker 1: get in, Rock comes out the door, gets into a 321 00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:13,439 Speaker 1: big black donale and bangs out like so right right 322 00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:16,000 Speaker 1: away you understand what's going on. There's all of our listeners. 323 00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:19,639 Speaker 1: That's Roger Goodell. They're not as tight with him as you, 324 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:22,960 Speaker 1: the NFL commissioner. They don't play words with friends with him, 325 00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:26,040 Speaker 1: like he's very good at that anyway, So we get 326 00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:29,800 Speaker 1: in and there's people everywhere, and you know, we're talking athletes, 327 00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:35,560 Speaker 1: you're talking agents, front office personnel, and blonde women and 328 00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:37,879 Speaker 1: it's just the whole place is filled with that. And 329 00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:42,000 Speaker 1: then but it was really funny was there was a 330 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:46,480 Speaker 1: downstairs bar and then an upstairs bar, and that's where 331 00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:50,320 Speaker 1: the class system came into play. Mr Glazer was holding 332 00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:54,879 Speaker 1: cord on the upper level, nursing a drink, looking down 333 00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:58,399 Speaker 1: at the riff raff, which included myself and Ian and 334 00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:03,520 Speaker 1: Ian couldn't even go out. Ian didn't have well, he 335 00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:07,280 Speaker 1: got invited. Yeah, that's at it. But yeah, if the 336 00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:09,920 Speaker 1: NFL media intent and trust me, we should get Ian 337 00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:12,800 Speaker 1: on the podcast during the offseason, because it did eat 338 00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:16,000 Speaker 1: at him and I could tell that it was particular 339 00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:19,640 Speaker 1: snare upstairs. That's kind of a boss move that Glazer 340 00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:23,400 Speaker 1: probably invites all of his rales on purpose to see 341 00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:25,320 Speaker 1: who's dumb enough to show up, and then he keeps 342 00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:30,000 Speaker 1: him in the like, hey, there's no Ian Rappaport party 343 00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:34,040 Speaker 1: during the super there's a J Glazer party. That's that's 344 00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:37,080 Speaker 1: its very ancient room. So the best, the best part, 345 00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:40,159 Speaker 1: the best Glazer move is every once in a while 346 00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:44,119 Speaker 1: he would go down after the flight of stairs and 347 00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:47,000 Speaker 1: then he tap on one of these there's two gigantic 348 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:50,240 Speaker 1: bouncers covering each stairwell to get to the upper level, 349 00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:53,119 Speaker 1: and he tap on the bouncer shoulder and then point 350 00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:55,320 Speaker 1: to one or two people and then like do the 351 00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:58,080 Speaker 1: finger move like bring him up, and they would be 352 00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:02,119 Speaker 1: summoned two to the heavens as it were within the 353 00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:06,600 Speaker 1: structure to party with Glazer, I think I'd rather stay downstairs. 354 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:10,840 Speaker 1: It almost sounds illegal. Well yeah, yeah, And as I wrote, 355 00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:13,399 Speaker 1: I was curiosity got the best of me, and also 356 00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:19,959 Speaker 1: Belvedere vodka. And I attempted, Yeah, and I attempted to 357 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:24,240 Speaker 1: ascend the staircase behind um some blonds and a well 358 00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:27,119 Speaker 1: dressed guy, and I got three steps up and then 359 00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:30,200 Speaker 1: a giant arm came down and he was like, where's 360 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:33,480 Speaker 1: your wrist band? Was like, wristband needed a wristband to 361 00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:35,439 Speaker 1: get up there. So I never got there. But that 362 00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:37,719 Speaker 1: was a very interesting party. I can't even tell all 363 00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:40,360 Speaker 1: the stories and all the things I saw that will 364 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:43,920 Speaker 1: be saved for UM off podcast hours. There was a 365 00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:47,400 Speaker 1: quote from a colleague of ours, Yes party that team 366 00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:50,320 Speaker 1: to encapsulate it, well, yeah, he said that you could 367 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:55,240 Speaker 1: cut the self importance with a knife. I like that 368 00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:59,360 Speaker 1: you're able to shift from spending an evening with, as 369 00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:03,080 Speaker 1: you say, loo An areas league wide luminaries to sort 370 00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:06,480 Speaker 1: of seamlessly coming and being with us taking it down. 371 00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:10,280 Speaker 1: Taking it down four or five. I'm not sure we 372 00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:13,120 Speaker 1: would have even been on the first floor. We got 373 00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:15,439 Speaker 1: it anyway, so that was cool. And then while you 374 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:20,440 Speaker 1: guys are doing your other media events today, Greg dispatched 375 00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:23,639 Speaker 1: me to the Bruno Mars press conference. Let's be honest, 376 00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:27,640 Speaker 1: you you were like before the Super Bowl even guy here, 377 00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:30,359 Speaker 1: we just were coming up with plans and you said, 378 00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:32,920 Speaker 1: I've got the halftime press conference. That was pretty much 379 00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:35,680 Speaker 1: the one thing. You're like, that's mine. I own it. 380 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:41,800 Speaker 1: Kansas who Bruno? I love West? That is why West 381 00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:43,320 Speaker 1: is one of the great people. I don't know. I 382 00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:45,080 Speaker 1: see what I can't even tell. He's playing that out, 383 00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:49,640 Speaker 1: he's playing that up. Well, you know, he's the half time. 384 00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:51,800 Speaker 1: I could not tell you what he looks like or 385 00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:54,400 Speaker 1: what songs. You heard his songs more or five times 386 00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:56,080 Speaker 1: last night and I knew he didn't no idea was 387 00:20:56,119 --> 00:21:01,160 Speaker 1: Bruno Morrison. His hair is possibly more pressed in dan Oh. 388 00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:03,399 Speaker 1: I don't believe. Oh it's no, it is. It's a 389 00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:07,399 Speaker 1: marvel to look at. I actually had it was strange. 390 00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:10,600 Speaker 1: It was at this Rose Theater in at Lincoln Center, 391 00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:13,240 Speaker 1: and I it wasn't very crowded the place. And it's 392 00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:17,480 Speaker 1: so much different than Beyonce and Madonna and which were 393 00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:19,960 Speaker 1: packed houses the last two years. So I got like 394 00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:23,720 Speaker 1: a John Wilkes booth um like box where I just 395 00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:28,600 Speaker 1: by myself looking down straight down on Bruno Mars, very strange, 396 00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:32,239 Speaker 1: magnificent hair. Right, it's and we're gonna watch it. We're 397 00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:34,000 Speaker 1: gonna watch at the halftime show. Mark, you will be 398 00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:38,040 Speaker 1: your eyes will be blued. I'm going to leave that 399 00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:42,000 Speaker 1: to you to describe how that goes. Alright, alright, buddy, Okay, 400 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,359 Speaker 1: so let's let's get back. Let's get back to some 401 00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:47,920 Speaker 1: game coverage. Super Bowls. How many days away now? Are 402 00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:50,160 Speaker 1: we three days away? Three days? That? How days work? 403 00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:54,280 Speaker 1: That's exciting? Um, let's play a game. We love games 404 00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:56,439 Speaker 1: like we like doing the games on the on the 405 00:21:56,600 --> 00:22:00,199 Speaker 1: podcast show that we do. UM, and since it's the 406 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:02,640 Speaker 1: Super Bowl, we've got to bring back the super Bowl 407 00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:07,960 Speaker 1: of games. What's more likely they're still working on the 408 00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:11,560 Speaker 1: seventh fact it gets sadder every time. I expect like 409 00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:16,240 Speaker 1: a little sad horn to um. So this is the 410 00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:18,760 Speaker 1: what's more likely game? I will go around the table 411 00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:23,320 Speaker 1: and put two scenarios out there, and then I will 412 00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:25,440 Speaker 1: ask one of the gentlemen at the table to tell 413 00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:29,000 Speaker 1: me what's more likely. The other gentleman, welcome to Chiman 414 00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:32,240 Speaker 1: as well. You are not allowed to chime in because 415 00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:36,800 Speaker 1: you are the host? Are your wink? Martindale, Chuck Woolery, 416 00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:42,399 Speaker 1: and John Davidson all rolled in. John Davidson from That's incredible. 417 00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:45,239 Speaker 1: Maybe that's not even a perfect I was trying to 418 00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:48,240 Speaker 1: go with that. You just nailed at That's incredible host 419 00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:52,480 Speaker 1: market and Mark Summers. Mark Summers is good and No 420 00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:57,320 Speaker 1: Rays rest in peace. The Family Feud hosts always injected 421 00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:01,240 Speaker 1: Richard Dawson five times better than another podcast. We'll have 422 00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:04,359 Speaker 1: a whole offseason where we can talk about Family Feud hosts. 423 00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:06,160 Speaker 1: But we all agree with Louis Anderson was the worst. 424 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:09,560 Speaker 1: All right, let's let's go, ready, what's more likely? Chris Westling, 425 00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:12,680 Speaker 1: Marshaw and Lynch runs for a hundred yards or no, 426 00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:17,080 Speaker 1: Sean Moreno runs for a hundred yards? Marshawn Lynch for 427 00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:20,520 Speaker 1: this reason the Sea Hacks are gonna win. No, I 428 00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:23,920 Speaker 1: don't think that's the case, but well, Marshawn Lynch always 429 00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:25,560 Speaker 1: runs for more yards than No Sean I mean, he 430 00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:27,960 Speaker 1: ran for more yards during the season, but Monte Baul 431 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,480 Speaker 1: is running better than No Shan Marino right now. I 432 00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:34,560 Speaker 1: think they'll probably split carries evenly, so Lynch definitely has 433 00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:38,320 Speaker 1: a better shot. At how come I ian actually reported 434 00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:40,920 Speaker 1: that Moreno is not gonna come back, most likely to 435 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:43,000 Speaker 1: the problems. I thought that this was a nice breakout 436 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:44,320 Speaker 1: of here for him, and he was a nice fit. 437 00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:47,280 Speaker 1: And you hear Peyton and Fox saying how huge and 438 00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:50,040 Speaker 1: important is his offense, and yet they're gonna let him go. 439 00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:53,520 Speaker 1: Let's seem a little strange. Well, wouldn't that be effective 440 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:56,000 Speaker 1: to drive the price down potentially, to not say, hey, 441 00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:58,640 Speaker 1: we've got we want this guy back so much they've 442 00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:01,440 Speaker 1: got a second round drafting ready to step in. I 443 00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:05,160 Speaker 1: was imagining him. If you happen to turn on NFL Network, 444 00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:08,399 Speaker 1: it's like three days before, four days before the biggest 445 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:11,240 Speaker 1: game of your life in a dream season, and like 446 00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:14,200 Speaker 1: one of the first stories, No Sean Marido not expected 447 00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:16,880 Speaker 1: to be back. Wouldn't that be wouldn't that be deflating 448 00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:19,480 Speaker 1: that I would would be like if if you guys 449 00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:22,560 Speaker 1: are watching and it was like Mark Sessler not expected 450 00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:25,240 Speaker 1: to be back with the Around the League podcast next season, like, 451 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:28,359 Speaker 1: how would your performance totally wouldn't be I had the 452 00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:31,159 Speaker 1: same thought, and I really thought, Man, sometimes we're just 453 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:33,879 Speaker 1: really bad people in this business. Now you gotta record 454 00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:37,800 Speaker 1: the news. We don't that someone doesn't have to leak 455 00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:40,640 Speaker 1: that right three days before the Super Bowl. I mean, 456 00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:42,720 Speaker 1: that can't make no Sean feel bod feel good about 457 00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:46,320 Speaker 1: I think it's more that he's more likely to get 458 00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:50,040 Speaker 1: a solid multi year deal elsewhere because they don't want 459 00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:52,440 Speaker 1: to invest that much in it. I'm sure they would 460 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:55,440 Speaker 1: take him back at the right cost. Right, So let's 461 00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:59,679 Speaker 1: assume he gets close to twenty carries, I mean, is 462 00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:02,840 Speaker 1: he is he gonna have any success against this defense? 463 00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:05,760 Speaker 1: You can run on the Seahawks outside of their home stating. 464 00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:08,440 Speaker 1: I also think Peyton is going to lean on that 465 00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:12,000 Speaker 1: running game potentially if he's not seen the typical opportunities 466 00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,800 Speaker 1: you would in the past game, he'll whatever whole Seattle 467 00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:16,920 Speaker 1: shows him he'll use, and maybe the running game plays. 468 00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:19,280 Speaker 1: And we're talking about a defense that gave up a 469 00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:23,920 Speaker 1: career game to Kyrie Robinson. Mm hmmm. Also a defense 470 00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:27,639 Speaker 1: though with Mark's boy Brandon. I'd go with west On 471 00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:29,399 Speaker 1: this real quick because I think that the way that 472 00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:32,679 Speaker 1: they've used Lynch in these last two games that literally 473 00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:34,800 Speaker 1: are the most important games they've had all season, They've 474 00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:37,120 Speaker 1: just sat on him all day long, carrying that ball, 475 00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:39,000 Speaker 1: and I think that they've said all week on, we're 476 00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,120 Speaker 1: gonna do what we've done and what got us here. 477 00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:43,560 Speaker 1: So I think they're not gonna di divert from that 478 00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:46,800 Speaker 1: and the and the Broncos passed. I mean, rush defense 479 00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:51,760 Speaker 1: that's improved so much. Still Paris Lennon and these guys 480 00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:55,280 Speaker 1: that are high achievers, but I don't know if they're 481 00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:58,240 Speaker 1: the most talented group in the world. And I could 482 00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:00,399 Speaker 1: see if one of these team is going to be 483 00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:01,920 Speaker 1: able to run the ball. I mean, you have one 484 00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:05,440 Speaker 1: of the most exciting best rushers of this generation. It's 485 00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:07,920 Speaker 1: got to be this as Lynch has more I think 486 00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:12,280 Speaker 1: it's what is it four runs over twenty something yards 487 00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:15,680 Speaker 1: in the playoffs? Is it five? Four? And so he's 488 00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:17,880 Speaker 1: I mean, he's shown that in these games he can 489 00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:20,280 Speaker 1: blast for big games. So hundred yards hunting twenty. You 490 00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:22,320 Speaker 1: said that's not tough for him. That's not what I said. 491 00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:31,400 Speaker 1: But yeah, uh yes's and Marius Thomas scores two touchdowns 492 00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:36,159 Speaker 1: or Percy Harton scores two touchdowns, Well, I see this 493 00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:39,199 Speaker 1: being a defensive game, So taking a page out of 494 00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:41,240 Speaker 1: the Sessler book, I'm not I don't think either one 495 00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:44,320 Speaker 1: it's gonna happen. I don't know if anyone's gonna get 496 00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:46,879 Speaker 1: too receiving touchdown. I don't know if to any quarterbacks 497 00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:49,280 Speaker 1: gonna get two receiving typesdown. But I'll definitely go Percy 498 00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:52,760 Speaker 1: Harvin because I think this Seahawks defense I talked about 499 00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:56,040 Speaker 1: a little bit on the last podcast, the Secondary Special. 500 00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:58,919 Speaker 1: You mentioned Thurman might be the best nickel corner in 501 00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:03,400 Speaker 1: the league by iron Maxwell, if he played the whole season, 502 00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:06,760 Speaker 1: he's a Pro Bowler. I think he's played that well. 503 00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:09,639 Speaker 1: You could put the whole secondary in the Pro Bowl, 504 00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:13,040 Speaker 1: and Bobby Wagner and kJ Wright, who is a key 505 00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:15,560 Speaker 1: guy for them, and all these guys. I just think 506 00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:18,200 Speaker 1: it's such a unique defense that they've been building out 507 00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:21,280 Speaker 1: for three or four years that no one's getting two 508 00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:23,720 Speaker 1: touchdowns on him. Damn, you do a great job with 509 00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:27,480 Speaker 1: these questions, Dyne Martindale, But let me fix this one 510 00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:31,040 Speaker 1: for you. Sure, what's more likely de Marius Thomas has 511 00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:37,680 Speaker 1: two touchdowns or Percy Harvin leaves twice with an injury. Well, 512 00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:40,720 Speaker 1: he's he's certainly uh, he hasn't earned the benefit of 513 00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:43,320 Speaker 1: the doubt on that. He He seems certain that he's 514 00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:45,800 Speaker 1: going to make him through this game. He said that 515 00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:50,240 Speaker 1: at media Day. But I mean, you wonder if the 516 00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:54,359 Speaker 1: Bronco's watched how the Saints handled the situation and just 517 00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:57,880 Speaker 1: went crazy physical with him every time they target them, 518 00:27:57,880 --> 00:27:59,920 Speaker 1: really pounded them. They're like, let's do the same thing. 519 00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:04,080 Speaker 1: That's football. I know that's that that might be looked 520 00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:06,199 Speaker 1: down upon in today's NFL, but I'm sure that's a 521 00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:09,320 Speaker 1: conversation that just get physical with this guy and he 522 00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:12,360 Speaker 1: might not be around. The weird thing is he's such 523 00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:14,960 Speaker 1: a physical player, Percy Harmon, so it kind of works 524 00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:18,040 Speaker 1: against people. Forget he's one of the toughest when when 525 00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:20,840 Speaker 1: he's right, I mean, he's like a running back and 526 00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:24,400 Speaker 1: very physical. Only people understand how big that guy he is, Like, yeah, 527 00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:26,439 Speaker 1: he's one of the most physical slot receivers in the 528 00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:28,800 Speaker 1: in the league. Who's the sneaky, biggest guy. Like when 529 00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:31,400 Speaker 1: you saw him this week, you were like Harrison, he said, 530 00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:36,040 Speaker 1: I'd say, brock Osweil guy. He didn't fit through doorways. 531 00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:37,760 Speaker 1: He is a very large ship. I mean, we know, 532 00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:41,520 Speaker 1: statistically succepting my enemy Matt Prator, he was a little 533 00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:44,240 Speaker 1: thicker than you got their enemies now, just because of 534 00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:48,800 Speaker 1: its diminutive though in terms he was short. He was short. 535 00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:53,840 Speaker 1: I don't even you know, why do I sound the 536 00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:57,160 Speaker 1: guy a call? Okay? I like Alison and the confection. 537 00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:00,360 Speaker 1: He just spent three days in Siberia. Action do you 538 00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:04,479 Speaker 1: mean the consumption? Consumption? You're trying to name like a 539 00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:08,520 Speaker 1: middle a Middle European historical disease, but I think you 540 00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:14,320 Speaker 1: were going consumption Angela's ashes. I will I would not 541 00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:18,160 Speaker 1: be surprised if I pretending to lay some pig head 542 00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:22,960 Speaker 1: soup ball plague. I probably actually infected a third of 543 00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:26,520 Speaker 1: the Seahawks roster. Really yeah, it's kind of breaking. I know, 544 00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:30,520 Speaker 1: feel traded. Didn't get my boy Glazer on this, Uh Sessler? 545 00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:34,480 Speaker 1: What's more likely Russell Wilson finishes with a passer rating 546 00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:39,000 Speaker 1: below or Peyton Manning finishes with a passer rating greater 547 00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:41,960 Speaker 1: than one ten. I this is not hard for me. 548 00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:45,400 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go Peyton Manning because you know what that 549 00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:48,960 Speaker 1: New England game, if they can continue where they left 550 00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:52,440 Speaker 1: off there, he just looked absolutely on fire from the start. 551 00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:56,440 Speaker 1: I understand that Seattle is a secondary that literally no 552 00:29:56,480 --> 00:30:00,000 Speaker 1: one does that against. But for me, I don't think 553 00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:01,960 Speaker 1: you have to have a ton of yardage or even 554 00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:04,400 Speaker 1: touchdowns to have a high passer rating. I think passer 555 00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:07,240 Speaker 1: rating is ridiculous to begin with. But I'll go Manning 556 00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:11,000 Speaker 1: because there's a scenario where Manning has his career game 557 00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:13,880 Speaker 1: in a big spot. Russell Wilson is not a guy 558 00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:17,000 Speaker 1: that dials up sixty seven ratings. I mean, he's not 559 00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:19,920 Speaker 1: a mistake prone quarterback. I'm going Manning do I just 560 00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:21,800 Speaker 1: think he's playing so well. I think he had a 561 00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:24,720 Speaker 1: one fifteen rating for the season. I could see him 562 00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:28,000 Speaker 1: doing that against Seattle. I guess I'd go Manning out 563 00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:31,280 Speaker 1: of those two options too. Isn't it great just to 564 00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:33,960 Speaker 1: have Manny in this game? Not sure, not just the 565 00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:38,520 Speaker 1: not the coverage, but especially when we're seated there in 566 00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:42,280 Speaker 1: the cold sort of half outdoor press box will be 567 00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:44,920 Speaker 1: in on Sunday night, I mean, we'll just kind of 568 00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:47,720 Speaker 1: you just have that feeling that you're watching history. The 569 00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:50,680 Speaker 1: subtext heres that you like going to the super Bowl. 570 00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:53,840 Speaker 1: I'm just saying it makes it a lot more special 571 00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:58,360 Speaker 1: with Manning here. It's also nice. It's also nice that 572 00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:01,680 Speaker 1: we are in a climate controlled by Bucks Rock. We'll 573 00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:03,760 Speaker 1: be sitting outside. I don't think we're in a class. 574 00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:05,960 Speaker 1: I think it'll be pretty cold. I would bring rumors 575 00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:08,480 Speaker 1: that we are. It's gonna cut the wind with a 576 00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:14,920 Speaker 1: closed window area in heat. M hmm. Very interesting. What's 577 00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:17,240 Speaker 1: gonna happen? Because you guys are so attached to your teams, 578 00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:20,320 Speaker 1: now one of them are is gonna lose, most likely 579 00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:23,680 Speaker 1: barring something very strange. Uh, it's probably gonna be pretty 580 00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:25,800 Speaker 1: devastating for you guys to be in the in the 581 00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:30,920 Speaker 1: locker room with your books. I already feel bad for Mark. Oh, 582 00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:34,200 Speaker 1: it got real. Could it possibly be worse than the 583 00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:40,160 Speaker 1: team I actually spend decades rooting for? You could begin 584 00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:42,800 Speaker 1: to get a complex though that just like no matter 585 00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:48,080 Speaker 1: who you attach yourself to, including Greg Roman not exactly 586 00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:52,560 Speaker 1: his finest hour. I will it's interesting, Charlie Brown of 587 00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:56,440 Speaker 1: n I will feel bad for them because I feel that. 588 00:31:56,480 --> 00:32:00,080 Speaker 1: You know, I formed a lot of lasting and you know, 589 00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:03,680 Speaker 1: dug in deep friendships this week with that roster meeting connection. 590 00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:08,760 Speaker 1: I know that has bought a beer for dan Quinn 591 00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:11,760 Speaker 1: was somewhere to go out with. You almost got a 592 00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:15,040 Speaker 1: restraining order against you. No, no, I see, I didn't 593 00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:17,400 Speaker 1: do you all we all think about doing things. I 594 00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:20,320 Speaker 1: didn't do it. That's the difference between myself and Greg. Well, 595 00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:24,200 Speaker 1: you can say the same thing about West and the 596 00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:27,320 Speaker 1: Polish woman at the hotel side. Yeah, I don't know. 597 00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:32,080 Speaker 1: You know, West, you can a spouse on this. It 598 00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:33,960 Speaker 1: was not at a hotel. Mark and I we were 599 00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:36,440 Speaker 1: actually thinking about staying in for the night. We needed 600 00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:39,000 Speaker 1: a night to let our body recuperate. And uh, we 601 00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:41,880 Speaker 1: decided to go out to dinner and just as we're 602 00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:45,920 Speaker 1: finishing up, two Polish women and another man walk up 603 00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:47,760 Speaker 1: sit down next to us. You know the man was 604 00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:51,000 Speaker 1: dan Quinn by the way, definitely was not And the 605 00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:57,000 Speaker 1: short round uh powerlifting, Polish woman just fixed herself to 606 00:32:57,160 --> 00:32:59,480 Speaker 1: me for the next four hours and would not leave 607 00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:02,600 Speaker 1: my side. And uh, there are a lot of stories 608 00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:05,240 Speaker 1: involved in this night, but yes it was. But you 609 00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:08,560 Speaker 1: you lent did her advances well, let's just it will 610 00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:10,120 Speaker 1: advance at the end of the night where I had 611 00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:12,520 Speaker 1: to physically put her into a car and send her 612 00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:16,520 Speaker 1: on her way. Accurate. Yeah, well, I there were many 613 00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:18,880 Speaker 1: periods in the night where I thought I'd like to 614 00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:21,640 Speaker 1: go home, But I'm not leaving my friend in this 615 00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:24,760 Speaker 1: situation because I wasn't convinced that they weren't like a 616 00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:28,000 Speaker 1: subsect of like Polish muffin West wake up in a 617 00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:30,440 Speaker 1: bantub in ice with his liver gun. I was very 618 00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:34,160 Speaker 1: concerned about West. Um. The other couple were doing their thing, 619 00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:38,960 Speaker 1: but this woman was You were also entertained. She was entertaining. 620 00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:41,600 Speaker 1: West was entertaining. But I started to become very concerned 621 00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:44,480 Speaker 1: about our friend. I just like wherever West goes the 622 00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:47,120 Speaker 1: West vibe. We talked about it, didn't we that he's 623 00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:50,040 Speaker 1: got this He's got this aura and it's just like 624 00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:53,120 Speaker 1: I hadn't know what I'm saying when he enters the room. 625 00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:57,840 Speaker 1: And some power lifters are impressed by this. Also the 626 00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:00,360 Speaker 1: you know you have the the Steve win a hot 627 00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:04,960 Speaker 1: tub at his condo complex or Eastern European women attracted 628 00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:07,800 Speaker 1: to him at that region. He comes across the country 629 00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:11,160 Speaker 1: and he still has Eastern European. Like always there always 630 00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:13,880 Speaker 1: four and a half spives in this case sounds like 631 00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:16,840 Speaker 1: a two and a half. But still I'll put this 632 00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:19,160 Speaker 1: girl in about a five. Okay, that's good. Well love 633 00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:22,000 Speaker 1: That leads into my finally final what's more likely? Out though? 634 00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:26,320 Speaker 1: To Greg? Greg, what's more likely? Mark Sessler downloads Bruno 635 00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:29,800 Speaker 1: marss entire catalog on Monday morning? Or A West gets 636 00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:32,640 Speaker 1: back to his room tonight and a Polish woman is 637 00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:38,160 Speaker 1: sitting on the bed with a rock hammer in her hand. Well, 638 00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:42,719 Speaker 1: Wesleyan stayed last night in New Jersey and tonight he's 639 00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:46,920 Speaker 1: in Manhattan. And while maybe she has KGB connections and 640 00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:49,319 Speaker 1: could somehow put that all together, that seems like a 641 00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:53,640 Speaker 1: big leap to take rock Hammers also sold out throughout 642 00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:56,520 Speaker 1: the metro area. I'm going with them. You think there 643 00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:59,239 Speaker 1: is any scenario on this planet that I am? I 644 00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:02,680 Speaker 1: don't even hear have a And hey, Mark, that was 645 00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:05,840 Speaker 1: some great halftime show. Can you please download his whole collection? 646 00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:09,440 Speaker 1: Before conversation would never happen. I don't even have it. 647 00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:12,720 Speaker 1: I don't even have to download music. How about your kids? 648 00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:15,239 Speaker 1: I haven't downloaded a song in like seven or eight years, 649 00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:17,239 Speaker 1: I can be I can say this as a fact. 650 00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:20,000 Speaker 1: Bruno Mars is huge with the two year old set. 651 00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:24,319 Speaker 1: My daughter Elis loves his song. See the difference here, 652 00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:27,920 Speaker 1: even though it's about making love, you know, some of 653 00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:29,840 Speaker 1: the subtext of it. You know, I'm not that comfortable. 654 00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:32,440 Speaker 1: She sings along. She loves it. The difference here is 655 00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:36,840 Speaker 1: Greg did Nutt in any way encounter the Polish weightlifter? 656 00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:42,040 Speaker 1: This this woman and I I have seen what she's 657 00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:44,680 Speaker 1: all about to some degree, which is a great and 658 00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:48,200 Speaker 1: I think that quest is a home run that she 659 00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:50,680 Speaker 1: shows up in West's room with some sort of low 660 00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:56,799 Speaker 1: level weapon, all right, a crude killing device. I like 661 00:35:56,880 --> 00:35:59,040 Speaker 1: how the rock hammer is back in style. I haven't 662 00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:03,120 Speaker 1: seen that since I pictured this one to be a 663 00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:06,640 Speaker 1: little bigger but very sturdy. Since she just's like knee 664 00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:08,960 Speaker 1: cavy mink. I don't know. I don't want to think 665 00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:12,640 Speaker 1: about it because it certainly would be that. I didn't 666 00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:15,319 Speaker 1: think our podcast could get any darker than the last one. 667 00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:19,400 Speaker 1: This is getting. These have been around two of the 668 00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:22,960 Speaker 1: Stranger episodes and then this body of work. Yeah, I 669 00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:25,600 Speaker 1: would say so, I think, you know, just maybe it's 670 00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:27,759 Speaker 1: this wing of the hotel. Maybe it's haunted. There's some 671 00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:31,759 Speaker 1: evil spirits or something. I don't know. I'm just spitballing there. 672 00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:33,920 Speaker 1: Not a lot of sleep, not a lot of organization. 673 00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:38,640 Speaker 1: It's a stew. All right, it's time. It's time. It's 674 00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:43,120 Speaker 1: prediction time, folks. Are you excited? Are you ready to 675 00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:46,680 Speaker 1: make your Super Bowl prediction? Super Bowl forty eight Live 676 00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:50,759 Speaker 1: from Life Stadium, Denver, bro Mark. Are you a lot? 677 00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:58,120 Speaker 1: I'm fading. Oh, I've got the sugar, I've got the disease. 678 00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:04,279 Speaker 1: Henry has pop up. Um. We are going to go 679 00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:07,359 Speaker 1: around the room. Greg. We Greg nailed it last year, 680 00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:09,800 Speaker 1: so maybe we'll make We'll have Greg go last because 681 00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:12,439 Speaker 1: it's a chance that he has some magic in his bones. Here. 682 00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:14,640 Speaker 1: I will start, and I better get to Mark first, 683 00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:16,759 Speaker 1: because he might die if we don't get to him, 684 00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:19,120 Speaker 1: if we put it off too long. Mark your winner. 685 00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:20,640 Speaker 1: I think we know who you're picking to win. But 686 00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:24,799 Speaker 1: the score as well. All Right, I'm going Seattle. I 687 00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:26,759 Speaker 1: think the Percy Harvin is going to be the m 688 00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:30,040 Speaker 1: v P of this game. Mm hmmm. So you see 689 00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:35,239 Speaker 1: Percy making multiple huge plays, special teams plays. That's how 690 00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:38,239 Speaker 1: m VP works. I'm just trying to I'm trying to 691 00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:40,719 Speaker 1: help you because you're not professional. You didn't draw your 692 00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:43,640 Speaker 1: point at all. I feel like I made a concise point, 693 00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:47,000 Speaker 1: and I'm ready to have the next person speaking West. 694 00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:50,600 Speaker 1: Now you could cough yourself to death. Now, West, I 695 00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:56,839 Speaker 1: am going Denver Bronco's thirty Seattle Seahawks. M How does 696 00:37:56,880 --> 00:37:59,080 Speaker 1: that game play out? What are some things that happened 697 00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:02,640 Speaker 1: in this game? Uh pick six from Champ Bailey the 698 00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:07,920 Speaker 1: Super Bowl MVP playing at a high level again. I 699 00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:10,080 Speaker 1: feel like last game he's back to two thousand twelve 700 00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:14,680 Speaker 1: form and uh so today sauntering around, just carries himself 701 00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:17,919 Speaker 1: like a athlete. You could tell that guy special guy, 702 00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:25,440 Speaker 1: just this outrageous and candidate territory. That would almost be 703 00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:27,920 Speaker 1: better than getting the score right. Getting Champ Bailey as 704 00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:32,560 Speaker 1: m v P seems seems unlikely, considering he's probably been 705 00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:34,480 Speaker 1: one of the worst cornerbacks in the league this year. 706 00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:37,040 Speaker 1: When he was injured, I believe in the NFL, when 707 00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:39,200 Speaker 1: you're playing through injuries, you're not the same person as 708 00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:42,040 Speaker 1: you are when you're healthy. So an injured Champ Bailey 709 00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:45,480 Speaker 1: was awful early in the season, but now healthy, he 710 00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:47,840 Speaker 1: played a great game last week against the Patriots. I 711 00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:50,600 Speaker 1: can smell the angry tweets coming. You're Champ Bailey is great. 712 00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:54,000 Speaker 1: Of course, Champ Bailey is great. Way to cut him off. 713 00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:57,640 Speaker 1: I'm just saying, I mean he he has gotten somewhat 714 00:38:57,680 --> 00:38:59,480 Speaker 1: under the radar this week for a guy that you 715 00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:01,520 Speaker 1: could argue you just based on Pro Bowls, is the 716 00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:06,440 Speaker 1: greatest cornerback or one of them in NFL history. He's 717 00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:10,839 Speaker 1: made more Pro Bowls than any defensive player that's never 718 00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:13,200 Speaker 1: been to a Super Bowl, and in more Pro Bowls 719 00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:17,359 Speaker 1: period than every defensive player in NFL history except for two. 720 00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:22,000 Speaker 1: That's pretty ridiculous. Generally, don't judge the greatest by how 721 00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:27,440 Speaker 1: many fan voting Pro Bowls gave me a such a 722 00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:33,000 Speaker 1: West comment very much. Um, I will take Well, we 723 00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:34,719 Speaker 1: already know who I'm gonna take. I took this team 724 00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:37,400 Speaker 1: in November. I have taken the Seattle Seahawks and a 725 00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:48,239 Speaker 1: rub a genuine laugher two team. It's gonna be tough 726 00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:51,320 Speaker 1: to pick the m v P because Richard Sherman will 727 00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:54,560 Speaker 1: have a pick six, Marshall Lynch will go for one 728 00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:57,279 Speaker 1: thirty two and two scores, but they will give it 729 00:39:57,320 --> 00:40:00,440 Speaker 1: to Russell Wilson because he will have a very steady 730 00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:04,160 Speaker 1: turnover free game. Uh and pass for over two eighty 731 00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:08,879 Speaker 1: yards with three touchdowns. And that wait, I have one 732 00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:13,759 Speaker 1: issue with your passion because you were in this room. 733 00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:18,359 Speaker 1: At least the champion of the Peyton Manning is not 734 00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:20,560 Speaker 1: a guy who chokes in the games. You're talking picks 735 00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:25,160 Speaker 1: six is, you're talking generated seventeen points, You're talking total collapse. 736 00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:27,799 Speaker 1: You can't, you can't be consistent after a season's worth 737 00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:30,759 Speaker 1: of content. All I can tell you is, um, you 738 00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:34,120 Speaker 1: know this, Yes, certainly this hurts. But if nothing else 739 00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:36,880 Speaker 1: approves that I'm not some Peyton Manning homer, and I 740 00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:38,840 Speaker 1: don't think people will have well, even at the end 741 00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:41,000 Speaker 1: of the game, people won't see this Peyton Manning choking. 742 00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:45,759 Speaker 1: They'll see a truly great, potentially all time level Seahawks 743 00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:51,719 Speaker 1: franchise cresting on the biggest stage in sports. I'm convinced 744 00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:55,799 Speaker 1: if only they could take their stadium with you with him, 745 00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:58,040 Speaker 1: I would I would believe your prediction. And if they 746 00:40:58,040 --> 00:41:00,839 Speaker 1: give Peyton Manning the Super Bowl against the I mean 747 00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:03,440 Speaker 1: the m v P, when they beat the Bears and 748 00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:06,040 Speaker 1: they gave you my Manning the m v P, I 749 00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:07,480 Speaker 1: think it's safe to say they're going to give the 750 00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:09,880 Speaker 1: quarterback any m v P at this point, especially if 751 00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:14,800 Speaker 1: they score forty five points. Yeah, that's fair. Alright, gentlemen, 752 00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:18,840 Speaker 1: So we will be back. Didn't make his We're actually 753 00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:22,960 Speaker 1: you tried to get out of there with that. We 754 00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:25,680 Speaker 1: we could do a whole separate podcast just my prediction. 755 00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:29,200 Speaker 1: You guys could give your thoughts on it. The three 756 00:41:29,239 --> 00:41:31,759 Speaker 1: of us will check out and just leave. Now, you 757 00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:35,080 Speaker 1: guys could offer because you're obviously fascinated by what's coming. 758 00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:37,799 Speaker 1: You don't have to tune in listen. It is now 759 00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:41,520 Speaker 1: your turn. Nailed it last year exactly, and now you 760 00:41:41,560 --> 00:41:46,279 Speaker 1: will leg your super Bowl prediction. Let's hear. I hate 761 00:41:46,320 --> 00:41:48,719 Speaker 1: to do this because what it really does is it 762 00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:54,319 Speaker 1: proves Dan Hansas right, and it shows that all the 763 00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:58,840 Speaker 1: mocking I did of Dan way back in November and 764 00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:02,000 Speaker 1: December that it was ridiculous to hand the Super Bowl 765 00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:06,440 Speaker 1: to the Seahawks back then in a blowout was essentially wrong, 766 00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:09,120 Speaker 1: and Dan was right the whole time. I have to thirteen. 767 00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:14,000 Speaker 1: Maybe that's not a massive blowout, but in NFL history, 768 00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:16,960 Speaker 1: scores thirteen points. That's what's gonna be so exciting about it. 769 00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:18,520 Speaker 1: They have a lot of long drives. I don't know 770 00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:20,200 Speaker 1: if you noticed. They haven't scored a lot of points 771 00:42:20,239 --> 00:42:22,239 Speaker 1: in the playoffs. Really haven't been that great in the 772 00:42:22,239 --> 00:42:25,839 Speaker 1: red zone relatively, They're not scoring. It's that bad luck 773 00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:28,319 Speaker 1: in the red zone is due for a turnaround. Well, 774 00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:31,239 Speaker 1: I think they'll kick some field goals, they'll have some turnovers, 775 00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:33,960 Speaker 1: they'll have the fewest amount of yards that they do 776 00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:37,839 Speaker 1: all games. Seahawks will control the ball, and let's give 777 00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:40,560 Speaker 1: the m v P to Marshawn Lynch with a big 778 00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:44,360 Speaker 1: rushing performance. Forget Russell Wilson. Well, Lynch will go crazy, 779 00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:48,560 Speaker 1: the defense will go crazy, the secondary will This essentially 780 00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:54,080 Speaker 1: has you categorizing Dan as a an NFL Visionary's got hurt. 781 00:42:55,160 --> 00:42:59,120 Speaker 1: It's got hurt. I just have to say, what's exactly 782 00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:01,399 Speaker 1: gonna happen? So I did it, and yes, it will 783 00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:04,719 Speaker 1: prove that Dan is really the brains behind this entire operation. 784 00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:10,080 Speaker 1: So at the end of the day, that is three 785 00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:13,520 Speaker 1: picks for the Seahawks of our group and West the 786 00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:17,560 Speaker 1: lone Broncos supporter. Do we know what Kevin Patrick's picked? 787 00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:21,080 Speaker 1: By any chance, we do not know Kevin's at the 788 00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:24,200 Speaker 1: at this stage of the game. He's still in the laboratory. 789 00:43:24,360 --> 00:43:27,799 Speaker 1: He's been posting non stop since we last talked to 790 00:43:27,880 --> 00:43:30,719 Speaker 1: him to make up for us while we're out on 791 00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:33,799 Speaker 1: the town and talking to people. All right, So we 792 00:43:33,840 --> 00:43:35,799 Speaker 1: will and if you, yeah, if you check out our 793 00:43:35,960 --> 00:43:39,160 Speaker 1: picks on the NFL dot com page, you can find 794 00:43:39,160 --> 00:43:42,359 Speaker 1: our picks and you can see Kevin Patrick picks because 795 00:43:42,360 --> 00:43:44,719 Speaker 1: I would love I'm curious as well. I'm burning up 796 00:43:44,719 --> 00:43:47,359 Speaker 1: with desire to find out what he thinks about this game. 797 00:43:47,480 --> 00:43:50,680 Speaker 1: And speaking which they asked Bruno Mars, who do you pick? 798 00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:56,280 Speaker 1: He said, I'm not telling you like we care Bruno Mars, 799 00:43:56,280 --> 00:43:58,360 Speaker 1: so boy. And it's the same they have with Beyonce 800 00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:01,040 Speaker 1: last year, like who's gonna waste? I'm not gonna say. 801 00:44:01,080 --> 00:44:04,120 Speaker 1: I didn't even know who was in the game. I 802 00:44:04,160 --> 00:44:09,920 Speaker 1: think Brino Morrison, Kentucky. That would be weird, all right. 803 00:44:10,080 --> 00:44:12,839 Speaker 1: So we will be back late late Sunday night. We're 804 00:44:12,880 --> 00:44:18,040 Speaker 1: gonna tape. We'll probably show up and everyone's uh devices 805 00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:22,560 Speaker 1: name Monday morning. So yes, we will get our hot 806 00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:26,160 Speaker 1: tags hashtag hot takes out there right after the game 807 00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:28,240 Speaker 1: and then when you wake up in the morning wherever 808 00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:32,359 Speaker 1: you are, listen to what we have to say it's 809 00:44:32,360 --> 00:44:35,600 Speaker 1: going to be insightful and entertaining. It'll be forty minutes 810 00:44:35,680 --> 00:44:41,360 Speaker 1: coordinating one of the greatest defenses ever constructed in NFL history. Greg, 811 00:44:41,440 --> 00:44:45,840 Speaker 1: all the way around. I feel like by dan Quinn 812 00:44:47,560 --> 00:44:50,799 Speaker 1: there is what was that. I don't feel like you 813 00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:55,799 Speaker 1: guys are overconfident here, like you're compensating for something that's 814 00:44:55,920 --> 00:44:58,040 Speaker 1: huge upset for you. You have a chance to be 815 00:44:58,200 --> 00:45:00,840 Speaker 1: the only right person in the room. Yeah, in a 816 00:45:00,840 --> 00:45:02,799 Speaker 1: game where their favorite, which would throw me to know 817 00:45:03,120 --> 00:45:05,240 Speaker 1: it wouldn't be the first or last time that's happened. 818 00:45:05,280 --> 00:45:09,279 Speaker 1: They are slightly favored. I've noticed online our NFL dot 819 00:45:09,320 --> 00:45:13,160 Speaker 1: Com analysts lean Seahawks if we care about the celebrity picks, 820 00:45:13,200 --> 00:45:16,920 Speaker 1: that would leave something on our NFL dot Com analysts 821 00:45:16,920 --> 00:45:22,520 Speaker 1: on this debate club thing. We have some wild, just 822 00:45:22,640 --> 00:45:24,920 Speaker 1: wild opinions on there. It's just it's out of control. 823 00:45:24,960 --> 00:45:27,480 Speaker 1: We need to revamp the personnel roster on that thing. 824 00:45:28,360 --> 00:45:32,960 Speaker 1: That's a project for the off season.
