1
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:20,400
Speaker 1: Jim mc represented by Old Trapper Beef Jerky. We're live

2
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:23,000
Speaker 1: in a cozy studio. You were not last night. You

3
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:25,480
Speaker 1: were in a cold, blistering old I was in a

4
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 1: cozy booth after I was standing on the field for

5
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:30,600
Speaker 1: a while. It wasn't too bad before after you shook

6
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:32,960
Speaker 1: up the snow globe that was Buffalo Hall of Famer.

7
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 1: Kurt Warner is with us. He was at the game

8
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:37,280
Speaker 1: calling it. We have Peter Schrager, we have Kyle Grant.

9
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 1: My name is Ka Adams. Yes, Old Trapper Beef Jerkey

10
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 1: sponsoring this show that begins with highlights. A really memorable

11
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 1: historic game because look at the stats. Mac Jones two

12
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 1: or three nineteen yards, Patriots fourteen to ten to get

13
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:53,199
Speaker 1: to nine and four. And afterwards the rookie quarterback said crazy,

14
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 1: and he said weird. It's just a crazy game to

15
00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 1: be a part of. But we knew if we didn't

16
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 1: turn the ball over it would be good. So it

17
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 1: was just a weird day. But at the end of

18
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 1: the day, you just get more points to the other

19
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 1: team and it's a great day. Hats off to the

20
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 1: offensive line for doing what they did knowing that we're

21
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 1: going to run the ball and just putting their nose

22
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 1: in there every play and making it happen was incredible.

23
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 1: I've never been part of something like that, so that

24
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 1: was really cool. You don't even seem snow for a

25
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:23,680
Speaker 1: long time, as like the Patriots with the winds stay

26
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:25,759
Speaker 1: in the number one seed in the AFC. The Bills

27
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 1: dropped down to the seven seed, the final wildcard spot,

28
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 1: an odd, unconventional, nice win, to say the least three

29
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 1: pass attempts from that guy mac Jones met Judean said, Yeah,

30
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: he's just out there controlling the ball joking, which means

31
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 1: they're a nice cohesive team and they're all moving in

32
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:41,319
Speaker 1: the same direction, which is what I love. What did

33
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 1: we learn from this Patriot squad Kurt and Buffalo last

34
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:45,639
Speaker 1: night that you saw with your very eyes? It's funny,

35
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 1: Mac mac jones. That was pretty cool. Yeah? Was it really? Yeah?

36
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 1: I mean like, was it really? Is? A quarterback? Was

37
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 1: that really cool? To win a game with three pass attempts?

38
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 1: Here's the thing is, I want to say that I

39
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 1: learned something in this game, but I'm not sure that

40
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 1: I did. Coming into this game, what did I think?

41
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 1: I thought the Patriots the more physical team that if

42
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 1: it came down to who was going to win the

43
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage, the Patriots were going to win the

44
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage. That the Buffalo Bills are more I

45
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 1: don't know if you want to call him a finesse team,

46
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:15,800
Speaker 1: but they're a past team. They're a team that wins

47
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 1: by throwing the football. Josh Allen is big arm Stefon

48
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 1: Diggs making those big plays and in a game where

49
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 1: you can't do that in the wind and the conditions

50
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,800
Speaker 1: don't allow you to do that. Am I surprised that

51
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,799
Speaker 1: the Patriots went out and dominated the line of scrimmage

52
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 1: on both sides and won this football game the way

53
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 1: that they did. I'm not really surprised, And you know,

54
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 1: it's it's one of those tough situations because Buffalo is

55
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 1: going to play in Buffalo, They're going to play in

56
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 1: these conditions, but they're not necessarily built to play in

57
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: these conditions like that the Patriots are. It's a statement

58
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 1: that I think is reverberating up in Western New York

59
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 1: right now because it's almost like, don't look at the

60
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 1: elephant in the room that maybe this builds to me,

61
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:56,679
Speaker 1: you don't want to go up to Buffalo and cold

62
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 1: with it. Maybe they're not built for that, and that's

63
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 1: what this does. This get. It's demoralizing to win that way.

64
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 1: It's such a style points. It's the Bills saying we're

65
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:08,639
Speaker 1: ready for that, and then the Patriots saying, not only

66
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 1: are you not ready for this, we're going to embarrass you.

67
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 1: That was an embarrassing stat line from mac Jones that

68
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 1: they thought that they can win a game with just

69
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 1: having three pass attempts, and they did. To me waking

70
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 1: up in Buffalo this morning, you have to feel like

71
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 1: so frustrated. And McDermott, I've never seen him like this.

72
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 1: After the game, he was saying, this wasn't a Belichick game.

73
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:27,919
Speaker 1: It's not what the Belichick game like. We had a

74
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 1: opportunities they had one long. It's demoralizing, it's soul crushing.

75
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 1: It's you're not ready for this. We're built for that,

76
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 1: You're not built for this. That's what takeaway from this.

77
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 1: Look at mac Jones's first four drives, like this is

78
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 1: what the Patriots did on offense, and it's it was

79
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 1: from the go like, we are not going to throw

80
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 1: you know exactly what we're gonna do. You have to

81
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 1: stop us, and we think we can win playing with

82
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 1: with our arm tied behind our back, our feet you know,

83
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 1: tied together, and we still can beat you because we're

84
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 1: just gonna be tougher and stronger than you. There was

85
00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 1: a meme going around yesterday from Patriots fans. It was

86
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: basically like the only tough Bill in Buffalo tonight. Yeah

87
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 1: and I and that is the stuff that hits Steve

88
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 1: and they're gonna play him again and they're gonna get

89
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 1: an opportunity. But when you've got Bills fans tweeting the

90
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 1: Pagoula family saying like, hey, maybe we should get a dome, Like,

91
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 1: what's the point of this? That's what I come away

92
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:17,720
Speaker 1: from this thing. And as I was calling the game,

93
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 1: and you showed the big run by Harris there early on,

94
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 1: and you call the game and once they got that

95
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 1: big run and then they couldn't kick because they were

96
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:26,720
Speaker 1: going into the win and they get the two point conversion,

97
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 1: you're just saying to yourself. I mean I remember saying

98
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 1: to myself, are the Patriots gonna pass it? I didn't

99
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,840
Speaker 1: know if they were going to because get eight points

100
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 1: on the board. So it's obviously at least a touchdown

101
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,479
Speaker 1: and two point conversion or possibly two scores. And you

102
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 1: knew the Patriots. We're just gonna say, show us, show

103
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:45,839
Speaker 1: us that you can drive the football to put points

104
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:47,559
Speaker 1: on the board. And it played right into their hands.

105
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 1: That one big play to me, was the difference maker

106
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 1: in this game. I hear you. And if you not

107
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: really understand, and there's games are in wind all the time,

108
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 1: this is a different deal. There's two tassels on top

109
00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: of the uprights. One of them blew off. There was

110
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 1: only one task, just blew off. Did you see the

111
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 1: opening kickoff? This will explain to you the whole deal here.

112
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 1: So the Patriots for just just track this kick so

113
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 1: it's not a penalty, it's standard thing. Tyler Bass kicks

114
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 1: it and watch this day that goes creaning not out

115
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:15,920
Speaker 1: of the first throw into the seventh row, into somebody

116
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 1: in the Gabriel Davis jersey. That was the point of

117
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 1: this thing. And Peter, I think you're all on it.

118
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 1: Sensitivity right now, Buffalo, real sensitive, real frosty. After the game,

119
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:29,280
Speaker 1: not only with with McDermott, so Jordan, Poyer and michae

120
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 1: Hyde had a long day. They're the safeties for the

121
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. They have to tackle those Patriots running backs

122
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 1: and all those Russian attempts. And sure enough a reporter,

123
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,160
Speaker 1: I don't think it was Peter asked these two safeties

124
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:41,840
Speaker 1: after the game they threw three times? Was that embarrassing

125
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: for you? Watch how this one? I mean, what are

126
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:51,480
Speaker 1: you doing? Bro? What kind of question is that? I mean,

127
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 1: they got good backs all they kept coming back to

128
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,600
Speaker 1: a couple of runs. I mean, I don't know how

129
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:03,720
Speaker 1: you want to answer that question. That's funny. Well we'll

130
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 1: remember that. I remember that you asked me that last

131
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 1: time this is they ran the ball? They ran about

132
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 1: how many times? Forty six times? Do I think that's

133
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 1: an issue for this team, for this defense? Uh No,

134
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:29,040
Speaker 1: I do not. This This goes in disrespect. I come

135
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 1: here every single week and I answer your question. It's truthfully, honestly,

136
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:37,159
Speaker 1: I appreciate you guys. Don't do that. Don't do that players.

137
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 1: So those guys are tough. They played okay, they had

138
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 1: forty six runs against them, and they are tough. The

139
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:49,159
Speaker 1: Patriots are tougher. The Bills are tough. The Patriots are tougher,

140
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:50,720
Speaker 1: And it's kind of what you're saying, Kurt I think

141
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,280
Speaker 1: the frustration here is what are we supposed to do?

142
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 1: There's no like, well, we messed this up. The Bills

143
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 1: had to turnover, the Patriots turn over. I don't know

144
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 1: how to fix this. We played in the winter, We're

145
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 1: gonna play in the winter for the rest of our season.

146
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:05,359
Speaker 1: And the other team was emphatically better than us, and

147
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 1: I don't know what we're supposed to do about this.

148
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,159
Speaker 1: It's not like our game plan was bad. No, the

149
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 1: other team was better and the other team was tougher,

150
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 1: and I don't know how to solve this. That's the frustration.

151
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 1: Having so many thoughts at the Raptors table, we'll be

152
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,559
Speaker 1: sharing them all three hours. Of course, some of mine

153
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 1: were then to kill Harry muffed punch or seeing him

154
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 1: back there, I was like, why is he back there?

155
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 1: That was weird, that was odd, and think that would happen,

156
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 1: And then of course Twitter gets all over him because

157
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 1: it was a bad situation. But I sort of started

158
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 1: thinking about nikkill Harry, and I'm like, wind, what's going

159
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 1: on with him? Is obviously a first round draft pick,

160
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 1: he was disgruntled, he was demanding a trade, like before

161
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 1: the season started. To see him out there, he was

162
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 1: part of two critical plays that got the Patriots to win,

163
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 1: and that's buying. He's out there blocking. It was incredible.

164
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 1: I'm sure you saw this Kurt out there, one of

165
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 1: the biggest players in the game. You brought it up

166
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 1: that big run, right, Damian Harris sixty four yard run.

167
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 1: He's out there blocking the defensive end. He's clearing the path.

168
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 1: He does the exact same thing on Brandon Bolden's two

169
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 1: point conversion after that. These are two crucial plays that

170
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 1: he's out there and if he's disgruntled and he's not

171
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 1: buying and he's not moving the same direction as this

172
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 1: ego list team, which I love this Patriots squad and

173
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 1: how they're playing and doing things as they always have

174
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 1: under Bill Belichick. There's no sulking, there's no complaining. Mac

175
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 1: Jones is not mad that he put through the ball

176
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 1: three times, and this show show this nickiel Harry is

177
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 1: just like a little sample. I know, everyone's bouncing and

178
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 1: jumping on nickiel Harry, and I get the other players

179
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 1: they could have had, and you know, they maybe made

180
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 1: a bad draft choice. I get it. But the fact

181
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 1: that he's out there, the fact that Devin McCarry is

182
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 1: out there saying this is why I love playing for

183
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 1: this team is direct quote. I love playing here at

184
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 1: this team. Isn't about one person, isn't about ego. It's

185
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,199
Speaker 1: about winning and just even just that him going out,

186
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 1: they're blocking his ass off in those conditions on that team.

187
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 1: I loved seeing it. I mean, you love that part

188
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 1: of the team because, especially in this day and age

189
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 1: for wide receivers, and have said it about the Ravens

190
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 1: as well, when you go to certain places, you gotta go, Okay,

191
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:54,319
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna get twelve targets. I'm not gonna get

192
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 1: ten catches. They're not gonna throw me five wide receiver

193
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:59,439
Speaker 1: screens a game. I've got a role here, and the

194
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:01,960
Speaker 1: role is to help my team win and do the

195
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 1: little things. And that's what you have to do when

196
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 1: you go to New England, because they're gonna do what

197
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 1: they need to do to win. And if that's Mac

198
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 1: Jones handing the ball off forty six times, that's what

199
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 1: you're going to do. Take a look a quarterback to

200
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 1: be an Eagle list to say let's go. But hey,

201
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 1: you win seventh straight and teams are talking about you

202
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 1: as a possible team to win a championship. That's what

203
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 1: it's all about, and you play that role, but you

204
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 1: love it when you have unselfish guys like that, and

205
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:26,440
Speaker 1: the whole team seems to be that way. They're moving

206
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:28,559
Speaker 1: forward in the same direction. Mike Garafolo, what we talked

207
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 1: about this game? Of course all Shalon Kurt Warner is

208
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 1: here and got a fun one. The Manning brothers are

209
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 1: hanging out with us. Peyton Manning, Eli Manning joining our

210
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 1: show today, Mike, let's check in on the NFC East.

211
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:41,080
Speaker 1: So will the Giants have Daniel Jones this weekend? What

212
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:45,560
Speaker 1: is latest with Washington tight end Logan Thomas. Yeah, before

213
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:47,560
Speaker 1: I get to that, I just got the rundown for

214
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,960
Speaker 1: the nine o'clock hour nine A Peyton Manning nine, Eli

215
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 1: Manning nine B this guy? How about that smack in

216
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 1: the middle of the Mannings here, it's like a Manning cast,

217
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:00,120
Speaker 1: Like I'm a guest on the Manning cast, me and

218
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 1: David that you asked me about a different You asked

219
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,560
Speaker 1: me about a different Giants quarterback, one that Lawrence Taylor

220
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 1: apparently has never heard of. That's Daniel Jones. He went

221
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 1: to see doctors. The team is out in Arizona between games.

222
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 1: They're playing the Chargers this Sunday, which is not great

223
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 1: for them considering their quarterback situation. Daniel Jones still not

224
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 1: cleared for contact. R Ian Rappaport had told you last

225
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 1: week that it was likely that Jones was going to

226
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 1: miss multiple games, so it looks like that's going to

227
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:31,319
Speaker 1: be the case now. The problem is Mike Glennon is

228
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 1: in the concussion protocol. They're hopeful he'll be cleared before Sunday,

229
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 1: but who knows when it comes to concussions. So Jake

230
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:41,959
Speaker 1: From right now. Lawrence Taylor definitely hasn't heard of Jake From.

231
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 1: He is in line right now to be the starter

232
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 1: and the cherry. On top of all this is Jerry Scholpinski,

233
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 1: the team's quarterbacks coach. He's out because of positive COVID tests.

234
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 1: So not great for the Giants at the Kurt, what

235
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:57,559
Speaker 1: are you doing this weekend? Kurt? They may need you.

236
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 1: Logan Thomas, you asked me about staying in the nfcast.

237
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,959
Speaker 1: The Washington football tight end. The team thought on Sunday

238
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,960
Speaker 1: that he had torn his ACL but got better news

239
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 1: than they expected. That's what Ron Rivera said. They are

240
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:13,320
Speaker 1: still going through the evaluations. But it looks like he

241
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 1: did not tear his ACL, so that's great news. Now

242
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:17,959
Speaker 1: there is damage in his knee. The MCL was affected

243
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,440
Speaker 1: as well, so Thomas is going to miss sometime. We'll

244
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:22,200
Speaker 1: see if he returns before the end of the season.

245
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 1: But no tear in the ACL because of this hit

246
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 1: from Yannick and Gokway and Rivera said he thought that

247
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 1: that was avoidable. He said, you would like to see

248
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 1: the player use his hands instead of going low like that.

249
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:35,720
Speaker 1: But all in all, good news for Logan Thomas and

250
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 1: the Washington football team. On Monday, love hearing that. Thank

251
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 1: you so much. Kurt Warners unavailable. I'm told his age

252
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 1: just told me he's promoting his movie American Underdog, which

253
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 1: is in theaters everywhere on Christmas Day. We'll have a

254
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 1: Zachary Levi on the show who plays Kurt Warner today.

255
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 1: Also somewhere in that Peyton Manning, Mike Garoffalo Eli Manning

256
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 1: Sandwich that we have coming on the show today. Yes,

257
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:03,960
Speaker 1: is it. If the Ravens convert, they win. If they failed,

258
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 1: the Steelers win. Jackson takes a snap fix the hand

259
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:11,079
Speaker 1: off lops it jumped and dropped by Mark Andrews, who

260
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 1: was wide off but at the one perfect play execution

261
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 1: until the pass. Oh, it couldn't have been more olden.

262
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 1: That was the scene on Sunday when the Ravens lost

263
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 1: to the Steelers twenty and nineteen. After going for it

264
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 1: and having a failed two point converts attempt with no

265
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 1: time left. Baltimore left Pittsburgh and linebacker J. T. J.

266
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 1: Watt left there with three and a half more sacks

267
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 1: and was the best player on the piece. Watt was

268
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 1: incredible and he added to his total of sixteen for

269
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,440
Speaker 1: the season. And when he's on the field, the Steelers

270
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:49,839
Speaker 1: seemed to win. When he's not, they don't, Which leads

271
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 1: to our next segment that we call we in or

272
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:56,560
Speaker 1: we out? And I say a statement. Sometimes it's outlandish,

273
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 1: sometimes it's way outside the box. Sometimes it's right on

274
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,840
Speaker 1: the money. You three tell me if you agree or

275
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 1: you disagree. Following Sunday's game, and in a season where

276
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:07,679
Speaker 1: there hasn't been one player to grasp the award, the

277
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 1: statement is thus T J. Watt and not an offensive player,

278
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:16,560
Speaker 1: is the league's MVP through the first thirteen games of

279
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,320
Speaker 1: the season. Kyle, are we in or are we out?

280
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 1: I wish we had an award that was best Player,

281
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:23,560
Speaker 1: because that's much different than most value. You just give

282
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 1: it to the best player. And Aaron Donal wouldn't want

283
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 1: a lot and t wannute this year. But I'm out

284
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 1: on this unfortunately, because I like some value with my

285
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:32,560
Speaker 1: most valuable player, and I'm really big on if you

286
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:35,360
Speaker 1: took the player off the team, the team falls apart.

287
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:37,719
Speaker 1: Sometimes it doesn't happen, like Kyler Murray has been great,

288
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 1: mccote McCoy came in and was fine. I think the

289
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 1: most Valuable Player this year is Aaron Rodgers, and I

290
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:44,200
Speaker 1: really do, not only how he's played, but based on

291
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:47,200
Speaker 1: how they looked against Kansas City. And I have a

292
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,199
Speaker 1: feeling that Aaron Rodgers could have five hundred yards and

293
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 1: six touchdowns every single game for the rest of the

294
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 1: way and he's not gonna win MVP based on off

295
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 1: the field things and based on voter prejudice and voter

296
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:56,680
Speaker 1: judging and things like that. So I think it's gonna

297
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:58,440
Speaker 1: be very interesting. It is an interesting take before we

298
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:00,560
Speaker 1: get it in because the media votes of this, and

299
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 1: the media was obviously very upset with how the COVID

300
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,079
Speaker 1: thing was handled. Also how the off season was handling.

301
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 1: You think that will come into play if Rogers finished

302
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 1: the season. He's clearly the past player. Objectively, he will

303
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 1: not win the MVP. I think it's the same thing

304
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 1: as Hall of Fame, same thing as MVP. It's the

305
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 1: same deal. And I don't even know if he needed

306
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:18,559
Speaker 1: the COVID stuff. Last summer alone might have pissed enough

307
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 1: people off. But I still think he's the most valuable.

308
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 1: How did do without him on the field? Terrible? They

309
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 1: lost to the Chiefs and Jordan Love can't do anything. Yes,

310
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 1: so that's how valuable he is. Yeah, but don't you

311
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 1: have to also see who the backup is. I mean,

312
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 1: when we talk about that and we say take that

313
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 1: guy off the team, we could do that for every

314
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 1: great quarterback on every team. And I know the Cardinals won. Yeah, Cope,

315
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 1: McCoy is not Jordan Love. I mean, he's a guy

316
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 1: that's played kept the Sea, Tom Brady off the pitchers.

317
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 1: They're doing pretty well, right, they're doing pretty well. Take

318
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 1: him off the bucks. I'm not sure how they're doing.

319
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 1: I know, you know at this point, the duration of

320
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks at the end of the day, right, Yeah,

321
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 1: that's what I think, what's the d him and Tom

322
00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 1: Brady and the numbers as far as value. To your point,

323
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 1: I quickly say no, the last I looked at the

324
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 1: history of this, of course, the last defensive player to

325
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 1: win the award was Lawrence Taylor twenty and a half

326
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 1: sacks the Giants. More importantly than that, they were fourteen

327
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 1: and two that year. We all know they went on

328
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 1: to in the Super Bowl. We do a segment Kurt

329
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 1: every week or week go over the cell of the

330
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 1: best touchdown dances in the NFL, and the guys get

331
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 1: so mad when there's even a guy on there. If

332
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 1: the team lost, they don't want him on there. You

333
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 1: guys get so mad at that. So do not bring

334
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 1: up t J. Watt on a Steelers team that's not

335
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 1: in the playoff picture right now? Can't do it. Yeah,

336
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 1: that's a good point. Yeah, and I say, we out.

337
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 1: But it's kind of like Aidan Hutchinson at the Hall

338
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 1: of Fame. You know, you invite him, you know that,

339
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 1: you know you know he's not gonna win it. They're

340
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 1: gonna give it to an offensive guy. But yeah, t J.

341
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 1: Watt should be in the conversation. And what I love

342
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 1: about t J. Watt is that when there's a big

343
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 1: play that needs to be made, when there's a moment

344
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 1: where you need to make that play. He's that guy

345
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 1: that always seems that Seattle game when they're playing and

346
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 1: laid in that game night Gino Smith and what do

347
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 1: they need they need to stripsack? They get us sack.

348
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 1: You know, in the game the other night, every time

349
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 1: they needed a play, he was the one that was

350
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 1: around Lamar Jackson, including that two point conversion. So he's

351
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 1: got those Heisman MVP type moments. Come on, we're not

352
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 1: giving it to a defense. You know, Charles Woodson wins

353
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 1: the Heisman. ID guess however, special team's offense. Like I'm

354
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 1: not even joking. It's almost like if T. J. Watt

355
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 1: would play some tight end in the goal line, like

356
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 1: that would actually help. He's just a pass rusher and

357
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 1: it's tough to beat the quarterbacks. True, everyone's grasping for

358
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 1: the guy was Derek Henry at one point that wash

359
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 1: and like it might just be Brady. You know, it

360
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 1: might just be Brady and he leaves the league and

361
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 1: all the major statistics right now and the voters they like,

362
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 1: we learned this with Michael Jordan. They don't like just

363
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 1: going the same guy. They like having it a little

364
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 1: variety and give it to Carmelon one year. Why not

365
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 1: give it to Charles Barker. Yeah, sure, but I think

366
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 1: it might be Brady so your boycott didn't j J

367
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 1: Watdres a couple of years ago where they were making

368
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 1: that push for him to be yes, you know, the MVP,

369
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:59,120
Speaker 1: and did they They threw the fade to him, trying

370
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 1: to get him a touchdown, to give him a little

371
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 1: bit more. They need him to be on a winning team.

372
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:06,119
Speaker 1: I think of year to defensive player that you know

373
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:08,720
Speaker 1: you have to be dominant as a squad. I asked

374
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:11,159
Speaker 1: you wins the last year or the last time you

375
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:12,920
Speaker 1: can remember that? It was so up in the air

376
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:15,240
Speaker 1: in Week fourteen. I think this is like nobody wants

377
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:17,120
Speaker 1: to win this thing. This is the most wide open

378
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:20,120
Speaker 1: MVP race I think I've ever been a part of. Oh,

379
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:22,119
Speaker 1: you know, Matt Ryan's here. He kind of stole it

380
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 1: at the end, or at least it was finishing up

381
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 1: strong at the end. It was going to be him,

382
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:28,439
Speaker 1: or maybe it was. I don't have any recollection of

383
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:29,919
Speaker 1: it going to week that's being like we could be

384
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 1: fifteen different players who wants the award. There's five more weeks.

385
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 1: Go get it. You know, we'll see. That's really cool.

386
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 1: It is a guy who could make an argument her Cup.

387
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 1: He had eight catches for one hundred twenty nine yards

388
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:44,399
Speaker 1: and a touchdown on Sunday in the winning as the Jaguars.

389
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 1: He is now the league leader in receptions, in receiving yards,

390
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 1: and in receiving touchdowns. Got the triple crown, and after

391
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 1: the win, he caught up with the NFL's Bridget Connon.

392
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:59,160
Speaker 1: Take a listen when they asked him about his touchdown reception.

393
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:05,360
Speaker 1: Listen to Cooper. Cup discussed this play. Wowow went in blitz.

394
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 1: What did you see there? How were you able to

395
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:09,720
Speaker 1: use that to your advantage? Yeah, it's had a little

396
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 1: three deep fire zone, brought the nickel off the edge,

397
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:14,119
Speaker 1: safety dropped down. It didn't look like they were doing

398
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:15,880
Speaker 1: a replacement fire zone. So I knew at the back

399
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 1: of the way we were gonna get three pushing through.

400
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:19,639
Speaker 1: Um I had at three to run in there if

401
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 1: I could beat my guy and just had to beat

402
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 1: the safety to the end zone. And that's not I mean,

403
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:27,640
Speaker 1: that is next level. Kendrick Bourne playing at college football

404
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 1: says he's different for real. Charting up. That was a

405
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:34,159
Speaker 1: lot of football talk, a lot of jargon, and a

406
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 1: very short amount of time to an So let's just

407
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:40,119
Speaker 1: transcribe this. Yeah, I just had a little three deep

408
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:43,200
Speaker 1: fire zone, brought the nickel off the edge, safety dropped down.

409
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 1: It didn't look like they were doing a replacement fire zone.

410
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 1: So I knew at the back of way we were

411
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 1: gonna get three pushing through, had the opportunity to kind

412
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:53,720
Speaker 1: of run if they're a guy, just had to beat

413
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:58,040
Speaker 1: the safety of the end zone. Kurtz got it. Yeah, dude,

414
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 1: we got a white board. You need to draw this out.

415
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 1: That is some next level football. That was like for

416
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 1: the folks who did not play the game. That is

417
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:11,119
Speaker 1: not everyday English. So, Kurt Warner, we're going to go

418
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:13,440
Speaker 1: to you when that question is Cooper Cup needs the

419
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:15,880
Speaker 1: zone NFL Network show wide Receiver one of one where

420
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 1: he explains every route and takes us deep into it

421
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 1: and it talks like that we are in and we

422
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:23,920
Speaker 1: are hosting. I will host that show with Cooper Cup.

423
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:27,919
Speaker 1: Let's do it. Can I get three hours of that

424
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:32,960
Speaker 1: replacement fire zone? Oh baby, I'm a fire speaking my

425
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:36,320
Speaker 1: language right, What is that's a replacement? Fire Zone simply

426
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 1: means that they're bringing pressure and instead of playing man

427
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:41,359
Speaker 1: behind it, they're playing zone. And what he's saying is

428
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 1: somebody popping out to replace that zone. So he couldn't

429
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:46,439
Speaker 1: run through the middle of the field if somebody was

430
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 1: popping out into that zone because the running back was

431
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 1: going week he was saying that replacement guy had to

432
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:53,960
Speaker 1: move to the week side, opening up the middle of

433
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:57,120
Speaker 1: the field. Boom bang bing, I'm in the end zone.

434
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 1: So I would subscribe to this show. He can't have

435
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:03,479
Speaker 1: a show on his own. Cooper Cups everyone's best friend here,

436
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:06,159
Speaker 1: Golf loves him, Matt Stafford loves and showing fields. If

437
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:08,880
Speaker 1: you're on the show with him and you're the translator

438
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:11,600
Speaker 1: and make it so that I can understand and digest

439
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:13,600
Speaker 1: it properly, then yes, I'm into this show. But not

440
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 1: Cooper cup by himself can't do it. He sounds like

441
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 1: a like a guy Ritchie character, like a bare knuckle boxer.

442
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 1: And fire Zone. I feel like I had my seven

443
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 1: year old birthday party at fire Zone. Like fire this

444
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:25,480
Speaker 1: is so much fun. The only problem I have with

445
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:27,920
Speaker 1: the show, Peter if the guy's names. Cooper Cup, you

446

00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 1: late at night, you could have these thoughts on the

449
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:35,359
Speaker 1: defense and it could be d Cup and like, I'd

450

00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 1: co host of the Electric Monday Night Football with Peyton

460
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:12,040
Speaker 1: and Eli in the two thousand and five Walter Peyton

461
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 1: Man of the Year. Please welcome number eighteen, Peyton Manning.

462
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 1: What's all? Peyton? Thanks thanks for having It is great

463
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:21,720
Speaker 1: to see you. It is great to have you, especially

464
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 1: to talk about this Peyton all you've accomplished, all your

465
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:26,159
Speaker 1: many many accolades. I would have to think one of

466
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 1: the most prestigious has to be the Walter Peyton Man

467
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:31,159
Speaker 1: of the Year Award, presented by Nationwide. Now we just

468
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 1: saw this year's nominees. These are thirty two gentlemen who

469
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 1: went way above and beyond for their causes their communities. Peyton,

470
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:41,159
Speaker 1: what did winning this award mean to you? Well, I

471
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 1: know Kirk can tell you as well. It's the NFL's

472
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 1: most prestigious award. You guys have seen the NFL Honors show.

473
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:49,920
Speaker 1: They give this award after the MVP of the NFL.

474
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:53,879
Speaker 1: Now that Nischuad is honoring all thirty two nominees, giving

475
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:57,199
Speaker 1: each of these players forty thousand dollars to their charity.

476
00:21:57,320 --> 00:22:00,600
Speaker 1: The eventual winner gets two hundred and fifty thousand dollars.

477
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:03,200
Speaker 1: Just the fact that the NFL and Nationwide is recognizing

478
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:06,440
Speaker 1: all the good works these guys are doing, that's what's awesome.

479
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 1: And I don't think these players are doing the good

480
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 1: works in order to try to win an award from Nationwide,

481
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:15,160
Speaker 1: but it sure does make a difference when somebody's recognizing

482
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 1: the good work that you're doing. And I think because

483
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:22,159
Speaker 1: of that, more people are doing more good things. Yeah, Payton,

484
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:25,200
Speaker 1: so many unbelievable causes by all of these different guys.

485
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 1: It's really important to them. As you said, as a

486
00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:30,720
Speaker 1: winner of this award, must prestigious award that I ever received.

487
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 1: Can you tell me a little bit about how this

488
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:37,160
Speaker 1: process goes and how the winner is decided. Well, it's

489
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:40,880
Speaker 1: very competitive. Each team has to put up one player

490
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:44,160
Speaker 1: as their nominee, and it's competitive. I mean, the guys

491
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 1: on the Broncos are doing great works. The Colts guys

492
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:48,920
Speaker 1: are doing great work. So just to get the one

493
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:51,800
Speaker 1: player per team is tough. And now we've got to

494
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 1: pick out of thirty two guys that are doing awesome works.

495
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 1: I mean, Dak Prescott playing great on the field, he's

496
00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:01,200
Speaker 1: kicking butt off the field, he's helping out cancer research,

497
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:05,200
Speaker 1: suicide prevention, mental health. Andrew Whitworth, you know, a big

498
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:07,960
Speaker 1: tough guy on the field. Off the field, he's kind

499
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:11,240
Speaker 1: of a big teddy bear. He's helping out families in Louisiana,

500
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:14,360
Speaker 1: families in LA who don't have homes. He's doing great

501
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 1: works with Make a Wish. So that's just two examples

502
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 1: of the great works these guys are doing. So it's

503
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 1: a tough choice, I can promise you. But the past

504
00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:25,640
Speaker 1: winners have been awesome and like I said, it motivates

505
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:29,200
Speaker 1: guys to keep doing good things. It's so true. NFL

506
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 1: dot Com slash Man and the Year Peyton Manning waking

507
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 1: up a good morning for full Good to see you, sir.

508
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 1: The Walter Peyton Man of the Year Charity Challenge is

509
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:38,480
Speaker 1: now open. Tell us about it, how it works and

510
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 1: how people at home can get involved. Yeah, fans can

511
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:45,640
Speaker 1: get involved. They can find out the player that's been nominated.

512
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:48,880
Speaker 1: They can go to Twitter and mention that player's name.

513
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:52,280
Speaker 1: The player whose name gets mentioned the most gets another

514
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:56,439
Speaker 1: bonus from nationwide I think twenty five thousand dollars to

515
00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 1: that winner's charity. So it's just a great way for

516
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:01,480
Speaker 1: the fans to get involved in their favorite player, or

517
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:04,200
Speaker 1: maybe just a player they appreciate in respect for all

518
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:07,920
Speaker 1: the good works they're doing off the field. It's very cool.

519
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 1: Pay and Wally have you. Let's talk a little Monday

520
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:12,840
Speaker 1: night football Shell Waity. You were great as always on

521
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:15,600
Speaker 1: the Manning cast, and Kurt Warner was at the game

522
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 1: in Buffalo as well. The Patriots of course get the

523
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 1: win fourteen to ten, and I was fascinated with Kurt

524
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:22,760
Speaker 1: saying that he like if he was a quarterback, he

525
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:25,160
Speaker 1: wouldn't be happy with what went down. Three passing attempts.

526
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:26,719
Speaker 1: I don't want that's boring and I don't like it.

527
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:28,720
Speaker 1: I want to know from you, how would you have

528
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 1: felt going through an entire game with three pass attempts?

529
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:36,720
Speaker 1: Be honest, be honest. Yeah, probably pretty similar to Kurt.

530
00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:39,600
Speaker 1: Probably not in the best of moods after the game.

531
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:42,680
Speaker 1: Certainly happy that you won. But the fact that Mac

532
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,920
Speaker 1: Jones probably didn't have to shower after the game just

533
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 1: tells you a lot. I mean, I thought his handoffs

534
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:52,399
Speaker 1: were great, Elion, I were analyzing his throws on the sidelines.

535
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:54,639
Speaker 1: That was the only time he actually threw the ball.

536
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:58,399
Speaker 1: But it was a classic Bill Belichick game, game management,

537
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:01,920
Speaker 1: clock management for checked in the ball at all times,

538
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 1: and probably not a air raid as you were kind

539
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:08,400
Speaker 1: of hoping before the game, but still a good Road

540
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:12,639
Speaker 1: Division win for the past. Yeah, havn't watched you and

541
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:14,720
Speaker 1: Eli and all the guests all these Monday nights. It

542
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 1: feels like you're part of the show and we would

543
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:19,439
Speaker 1: get to experience you guys in your living rooms doing it.

544
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:22,399
Speaker 1: It's been such a breakthrough and broadcast TV and the

545
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 1: guests are one thing. The actual analysis is what I

546
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:26,200
Speaker 1: love and I think a lot of us at the table.

547
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:28,040
Speaker 1: Do you guys break it down like no one else does.

548
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:31,720
Speaker 1: How rewarding has this season been doing the simulcast, the

549
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:35,480
Speaker 1: Manning cast if you will with your brother. Well, it's

550
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 1: been a lot of fun. Obviously the game has been

551
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 1: so good to us. We still love the game like Kurt,

552
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:41,479
Speaker 1: so for Eli and I to be able to do

553
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:45,879
Speaker 1: this together have fun talking football. Obviously we have pretty

554
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:48,720
Speaker 1: thick skin. I've become an easy target for a lot

555
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:51,199
Speaker 1: of jokes from Eli. I think it's a good that

556
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:53,240
Speaker 1: we're Sheppard, We're not in the same room. If there's

557
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:55,440
Speaker 1: a couple of things he said I think has cost

558
00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:57,719
Speaker 1: a line. I probably would reach over to him. The

559
00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:02,320
Speaker 1: fact that he's already all the way in New Jersey

560
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:04,880
Speaker 1: is probably a healthy thing. But it's a lot of fun.

561
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,439
Speaker 1: All of our guests, the number one criteria is they

562
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:10,080
Speaker 1: have to love football. And it's great seeing all these

563
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:14,720
Speaker 1: different people in different sports, acting, entertainment, music that love football.

564
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 1: That's a cool thing. It is a cool thing. I

565
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:20,960
Speaker 1: love Peyton talking about how macdows is keeping a low

566
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:22,879
Speaker 1: profile as a rookie, and then he says, see what

567
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 1: you have to do is throw twenty eight interceptions like

568
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:25,960
Speaker 1: I did this rookie, and then you can do all

569
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:28,560
Speaker 1: the commercials you want. And we're just laughing along with you. Peyton.

570
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:30,919
Speaker 1: It's the best. We'd also be remiss in not bringing

571
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 1: this up. You were recently giving a highly prestigious position

572
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:37,720
Speaker 1: with quite frankly, a fair amount of responsibility, and that is,

573
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 1: of course Madden ratings adjuster. Peyton. You already did some

574
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:43,960
Speaker 1: adjustment on Tom Brady's rating. You adjusted him to a

575
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:47,000
Speaker 1: forty four overall. So we know you're fair and we

576
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:49,159
Speaker 1: know you're objective. We're gonna push here it push our

577
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:51,239
Speaker 1: luck here and try to do some ratings for us

578
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 1: this morning. We're gonna get very personal, Paton. We're gonna

579
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:56,439
Speaker 1: give you three categories. You give us the Madden ratings

580
00:26:56,520 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 1: zero to one hundred for both yourself and your there Eli.

581
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:04,439
Speaker 1: First up, I NT interview skills. How high do you

582
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:08,440
Speaker 1: rate yourself? One zero, one hundred? And Eli, I'm low.

583
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:11,399
Speaker 1: I'm a twenty I'm a bad interviewer. I'm bad at it.

584
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:15,400
Speaker 1: Twenty up. I interrupted David Letterman like three times last night, Right,

585
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:18,119
Speaker 1: in the middle as he's telling a joke. Eli is

586
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:20,000
Speaker 1: much better than me. I'm giving an Eli and eighty.

587
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:24,400
Speaker 1: I'm a twenty. Wow. Oh wow, all right, next step.

588
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:27,000
Speaker 1: We've always seen your humor and your commercials and what

589
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 1: have you. Now we're getting a chance to see your

590
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 1: brother a little different kinds of sense of humor. So

591
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:36,120
Speaker 1: next up is WI general wittness. How do you rate

592
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:40,399
Speaker 1: yourself and Eli? I think we're both pretty good in

593
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:42,600
Speaker 1: that category, Kurt. As you know, when you grow up

594
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:45,160
Speaker 1: in a locker room, you better learn to laugh at yourself.

595
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 1: You better learn a half thick skin. And when you

596
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 1: grow up with two brothers, I mean, it just multiplies

597
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:53,880
Speaker 1: being able to take it, being able to give it out.

598
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:56,119
Speaker 1: Eli and I like to laugh. We're not afraid to

599
00:27:56,160 --> 00:28:00,920
Speaker 1: make fun of ourselves. I'm giving both of us a seventy. Okay,

600
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 1: what does Cooper getting that one out of one hundred?

601
00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:08,639
Speaker 1: Cooper one hundred, Cooper a hundred that he would tell

602
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:12,520
Speaker 1: you that you and your brother Elive face a certain

603
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:16,040
Speaker 1: quarterback in some fairly memorable games zero one hundred. This

604
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:19,879
Speaker 1: rating is a VTB versus Tom Brady. What do you

605
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 1: put yourself and what do you give me elive. This

606
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:26,400
Speaker 1: would be the largest gap between me and Eli. Obviously,

607
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:29,359
Speaker 1: when you beat Tom Brady in a Super Bowl, only

608
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:32,200
Speaker 1: two people know what that's like, Nick Foles and Eli.

609
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:34,720
Speaker 1: Manning the fact that Eli did it twice, I'm giving

610
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:38,120
Speaker 1: Eli the one hundred. Me not so much. I was

611
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:40,240
Speaker 1: pretty decent against Tom and we could get him in

612
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 1: the AFC Championship, but divisional playoff games and regular season

613
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:51,800

639
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:09,040
Speaker 1: you retired, but it was really only a couple of

640
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:11,880
Speaker 1: years ago when you made the official announcement. How has

641
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:14,440
Speaker 1: retirement been for you so far? And how are you

642
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:18,720

643
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 1: and um, you know, just trying to trying to stay busy.

644
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 1: I did not accomplish my goal of avoiding TV. I say,

645
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:26,720
Speaker 1: whatever I do when I retire, I don't want to

646
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:29,280
Speaker 1: go on TV and now I have like my own show.

647
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:32,120
Speaker 1: I'm doing, you know, money and I football. So I

648
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:34,400
Speaker 1: went to the dark side. I went to the media side.

649
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:36,840
Speaker 1: I didn't think that was going to happen. But you know,

650
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:40,640
Speaker 1: here I am and having fun with it. But you're

651
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:42,880
Speaker 1: doing that in your terms, which I love. Let's talk

652
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 1: about this Eli Manning Show premiere, Jess before the Giants

653
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:48,120
Speaker 1: retired your jersey, that was back in September. You've had

654
00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:50,640
Speaker 1: some incredible guests on. Let's take a look at a

655
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:54,920
Speaker 1: little clip from this week's episode. Check the outside. Yeah,

656
00:30:54,920 --> 00:31:04,240
Speaker 1: you're right now, So Hood, what are you here? Touchdown?

657
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:07,479
Speaker 1: All right? You get your one touchdown dance? What are

658
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:09,480
Speaker 1: you doing? What's your touchdown dance? I was going to

659
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 1: hand it to the repute. It's route and I'll do this.

660
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:18,280
Speaker 1: I don't need to celebrate. That's a good pass, a

661
00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 1: little short, but you know I'll take it. I mean, Eli,

662
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:26,040
Speaker 1: first of all, how does it feel getting critiqued by

663
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:30,280
Speaker 1: Kevin Durant? Hey, you know that guy's an All Star.

664
00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 1: I wish I hadn't him as a receiver. I like

665
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:36,120
Speaker 1: a six eleven receiver to run a fade in the end, zone.

666
00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:39,360
Speaker 1: That'd be pretty nice. Uh, you know, I don't think

667
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:40,720
Speaker 1: you know, I don't want to I don't want to

668
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:42,480
Speaker 1: throw him over the middle. I don't think you know,

669
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:44,680
Speaker 1: anybody wants to see someone go for his legs. But

670
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:49,040
Speaker 1: I think a fade round up. Yeah, exactly, let's keep

671
00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:52,360
Speaker 1: it simple. There's a red Zone specialist. But you know,

672
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:54,400
Speaker 1: it's been a lot of fun obviously getting guys like

673
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:56,440
Speaker 1: Kevin Durant to come on. We also play a little

674
00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:58,640
Speaker 1: Papa shot, but you'll have to watch the show to

675
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:02,920
Speaker 1: see that. So have guests on there, some great, great people.

676
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:05,680
Speaker 1: I co host with Sean O'Hara, one of my best

677
00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 1: friends in the world. So we have a lot of

678
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:10,880
Speaker 1: fun each day. What have you learn from making that

679
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:16,400
Speaker 1: you you know that it's just a lot of preparation,

680
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:19,880
Speaker 1: and you know, I give a lot more credit, have

681
00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:22,080
Speaker 1: a lot more respect for all of you on TV.

682
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:24,240
Speaker 1: There's a lot of you know, you kind of have

683
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:26,640
Speaker 1: a game plan, you have some things you want to

684
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 1: get asked, and all of a sudden, it's like you

685
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:31,640
Speaker 1: get way off script and now you're in provin But

686
00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:33,640
Speaker 1: you got to kind of get back to the main

687
00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:36,640
Speaker 1: focus of the of the conversation of the point, and

688
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:39,760
Speaker 1: so it's it's harder than it looks and a lot

689
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:44,040
Speaker 1: of preparation goes into it. Some of the most fun

690
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:46,480
Speaker 1: is like when we get off script, Eli, just as

691
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 1: in football, and one of the guys who does that

692
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:50,560
Speaker 1: with us is the guy you mentioned. Sean O'Hara is

693
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:52,520
Speaker 1: a mutual front of ours. He's at this table all

694
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:55,160
Speaker 1: the time. He's obviously really close with you. We know

695
00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:59,200
Speaker 1: O'Hara goes real deep on the Will Farrell film catalog,

696
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:02,280
Speaker 1: not a phrase of flatulence, humor, any of that type

697
00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:05,200
Speaker 1: of stuff. Eli, give us something about O'Hara that the

698
00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:07,520
Speaker 1: next time he's in we can play this clip of

699
00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:09,520
Speaker 1: you talking about him, and maybe we can bust the

700
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:13,840
Speaker 1: chops or even embarrassing. Yeah, I mean, I think you

701
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:16,480
Speaker 1: know my favorite story about Ohas Maybe I can't remember,

702
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:19,520
Speaker 1: what's maybe oh five, I think it was two thousand

703
00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:22,520
Speaker 1: and six. He gets injured. He says he has like

704
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:25,880
Speaker 1: athletes foot, and next thing you know, he's in the hospital.

705
00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:29,120
Speaker 1: He spent he spends two weeks in the hospital. You know,

706
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:31,040
Speaker 1: we're checking on him, you know, we don't know what's

707
00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:33,920
Speaker 1: going on. So finally he gets back. He plays. The

708
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:36,920
Speaker 1: next week we win. Monday night, we go out to

709
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:39,000
Speaker 1: dinner and got a bunch of us. He brings a

710
00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:42,600
Speaker 1: new date. It was his nurse from the hospital. I

711
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:44,640
Speaker 1: don't think he was really injured. I think he was

712
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:46,960
Speaker 1: just trying to get the nerve to ask her out.

713
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:50,480
Speaker 1: And now he's married to her now Amy and they're great.

714
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:52,720
Speaker 1: We love him. But I was like, it's total I

715
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:55,320
Speaker 1: think he faked an injury and faked who goes to

716
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:58,040
Speaker 1: the hospital for two weeks for athletes foot? But you

717
00:33:58,080 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 1: know it worked out. He got a wife out of it,

718
00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:04,400
Speaker 1: you know. Yeah, maybe not faking it, Maybe just milking

719
00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:06,720
Speaker 1: it a little bit, you know. All right, let's split

720
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:08,360
Speaker 1: the script a little bit. We had your brother on

721
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:10,880
Speaker 1: earlier and he was announcing the nominees for the Walter

722
00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:13,840
Speaker 1: Payton Man of the Year. Obviously you were a recipient

723
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:17,200
Speaker 1: of that award. Just tell our viewers what's what that

724
00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:20,800
Speaker 1: meant to you. Yeah, it's one of the great honors

725
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:24,239
Speaker 1: that I've ever received, you know, in my career, just

726
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:27,759
Speaker 1: because it's it's really um, you know, you're getting an

727
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:30,239
Speaker 1: award for something you're not trying to get an award for.

728
00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:32,480
Speaker 1: It's just you're just doing the right thing. You're giving

729
00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:34,960
Speaker 1: back to your community. And so the different charities I've

730
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:37,920
Speaker 1: been involved with, Tackle Kids Cancer is one of, you know,

731
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:40,960
Speaker 1: the main ones, and helping kids with pediatric cancer. And

732
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:44,520
Speaker 1: so I mean that's just something that, um, you know,

733
00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:46,319
Speaker 1: every time I've gone through a hospital and you see

734
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:48,720
Speaker 1: a child that's sick, you just want to do anything

735
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:51,400
Speaker 1: possible to try to help them. And um, you know,

736
00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:54,320
Speaker 1: I can, you know, try to make the child smile.

737
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:56,640
Speaker 1: But now also I relate to the parents, and you know,

738
00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:58,759
Speaker 1: being a father of four kids and Kurt, you know

739
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:00,839
Speaker 1: about that, Like when you have a you know, one

740
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:02,719
Speaker 1: of your kids that are sick, if they're sick with

741
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:05,080
Speaker 1: the cold, you know, you want to do anything to

742
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:07,600
Speaker 1: help them. Let alone what the parents are going through

743
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:10,720
Speaker 1: and the family goes through when you have a child

744
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:12,880
Speaker 1: with cancer. So I just want to do anything possible

745
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:15,399
Speaker 1: try to get them back healthy, back in school, back

746
00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:20,000
Speaker 1: to being a kid again. Is so important. To win

747
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:22,120
Speaker 1: the Walter Payton Man the Year War was such a

748
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:24,279
Speaker 1: great honor because I wasn't trying to win it. I

749
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:25,759
Speaker 1: was just trying to do in the right thing. But

750
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:29,399
Speaker 1: to be recognized with the great guys like yourself, who

751
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:31,359
Speaker 1: have won that ward in the past and done great

752
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:35,759
Speaker 1: things around their communities. It's an amazing honor. And for

753
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:38,360
Speaker 1: twenty years you were the embodiment of class and represented

754
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:40,720
Speaker 1: the Giants organization so well. A couple of years removed

755
00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:43,120
Speaker 1: from the team, the four and eight right now, we

756
00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:45,399
Speaker 1: know the quarterback situations in flux. Besides all the text

757
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:47,279
Speaker 1: I'm getting from Giants fan friends asking if you can

758
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:49,880
Speaker 1: go for one more game, I would ask you what

759
00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:52,440
Speaker 1: would you like to see from this team over the

760
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:54,240
Speaker 1: course of the next few games. As we head towards

761
00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:57,560
Speaker 1: did another offseason in twenty twenty two, you know, I

762
00:35:57,600 --> 00:36:00,720
Speaker 1: think just you know, just keep grinding there, playing games

763
00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:03,399
Speaker 1: close into the fourth quarter. They're not getting blown out,

764
00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:07,000
Speaker 1: They're they're competing. It's just, uh, you know, they gotta

765
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:10,040
Speaker 1: make some some plays at critical moments, and and you

766
00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:13,239
Speaker 1: know you need your your stars to step up at

767
00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:16,600
Speaker 1: those times. And so I hope that they can just um,

768
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:19,640
Speaker 1: you know, keep keep working hard, keep putting herself in

769
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:22,399
Speaker 1: situation to be close in those fourth quarters, and then

770
00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:25,799
Speaker 1: hopefully the guys who are healthy and out there can

771
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:29,120
Speaker 1: just hey, take over a game in those situations. That's

772
00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:32,480
Speaker 1: what your stars are supposed to do and so um,

773
00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:35,200
Speaker 1: you know they need their best players playing at an

774
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:39,000
Speaker 1: extremely high level. When when you know when they're needed,

775
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:44,040
Speaker 1: so you beyond your own show. You've joined your brother

776
00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:47,319
Speaker 1: for the Manning Cast, and everybody's loving it. Obviously, we

777
00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:49,920
Speaker 1: love your guys is football knowledge, but maybe more so,

778
00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:51,640
Speaker 1: we love that we get to go into your living

779
00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:54,880
Speaker 1: room with you without shoes on, and and you guys

780
00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:57,920
Speaker 1: having fun and that banter between the two of you.

781
00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:00,719
Speaker 1: What has been the most enjoyable part for you of

782
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:04,279
Speaker 1: the Manning Cast? You know, I think just getting to

783
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:06,279
Speaker 1: hang out with my brother. I don't I don't get

784
00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:08,520
Speaker 1: to see Payton all that often. You know when we

785
00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:11,200
Speaker 1: were when we were both playing, you know, he was

786
00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:14,200
Speaker 1: in Indianapolis or Denver. I'm in New York, so you know,

787
00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:19,280
Speaker 1: we didn't get Thanksgiving holidays together and Christmas holidays together,

788
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:21,160
Speaker 1: so we're always kind of separate. We try to get

789
00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:23,879
Speaker 1: together in the all season, but to know that, hey,

790
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:26,040
Speaker 1: I got you know, ten Mondays where I get to

791
00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:28,360
Speaker 1: hang with him, uh, talk with him a bunch of

792
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:30,120
Speaker 1: in the week, kind of just coming up with funny

793
00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:34,000
Speaker 1: stories that we can bring up during the cast. And

794
00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:36,480
Speaker 1: so It's been fun to kind of go on you know,

795
00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:39,040
Speaker 1: Monday nights, get to watch a football game with my brother,

796
00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:41,560
Speaker 1: which I hardly ever get to do and haven't done

797
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:44,880
Speaker 1: in twenty years at least. So you get to do that,

798
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:47,160
Speaker 1: watch a football game and make fun of him for

799
00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:50,040
Speaker 1: three hours, you know, on live TV. That's a pretty

800
00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:53,640
Speaker 1: good scenario. I didn't know that existed when I retired.

801
00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:56,400
Speaker 1: I didn't know that was a possibility, but I found

802
00:37:56,440 --> 00:38:00,000
Speaker 1: it and I'm very happy. Well, one thing that we've

803
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:02,839
Speaker 1: always heard about Peyton is how meticulous he was when

804
00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:06,000
Speaker 1: he played with with all the little details. What's he

805
00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:07,920
Speaker 1: like as a co worker, what's he like being on

806
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:12,560
Speaker 1: the same show with him? Just how I expect him

807
00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:18,760
Speaker 1: to game plan and to work and to be extremely prepared.

808
00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:22,279
Speaker 1: And he sends a lot of voice memos, and I

809
00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:25,640
Speaker 1: didn't know much about the VOICEMAILO. It's different than a voicemail.

810
00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:29,880
Speaker 1: He does not call me. He just texts me of

811
00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:34,080
Speaker 1: him just talking, a text of him leaving. Sometimes there

812
00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:36,680
Speaker 1: four or five minutes. Sometimes they'll go for like twenty

813
00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:39,520
Speaker 1: two minutes and all of sud I'm just sitting in

814
00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:41,879
Speaker 1: my office and there's Peyton talking My wife will walk

815
00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:43,960
Speaker 1: in and be like, who are you talking to? It's

816
00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:47,360
Speaker 1: like it's Peyton still talking. What could he possibly be

817
00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:51,400
Speaker 1: talking about? And you know, it's just what he sees

818
00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:54,759
Speaker 1: about the defenses, stories about who he's talked to, what

819
00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:56,879
Speaker 1: you know, what he wants to do, what I need

820
00:38:56,880 --> 00:38:59,239
Speaker 1: to do, who I should talk to, what you know,

821
00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:02,040
Speaker 1: perspective I gotta look at. So, I mean, he has

822
00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:05,879
Speaker 1: everything game planned and just tell me exactly what to do.

823
00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:08,719
Speaker 1: And so I just I mean, I just shake my

824
00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:10,920
Speaker 1: head and he's telling me, Hey, I gotta watch his

825
00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:14,040
Speaker 1: detail on that he did on Mac Jones. I'm like,

826
00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:17,000
Speaker 1: just send me a voice memo of what you said

827
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:19,520
Speaker 1: in the detail, because I'm not watching all these things

828
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:22,960
Speaker 1: you're you're trying to get me to watch. It's so perfect.

829
00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:25,120
Speaker 1: And Eli, some of your former teammates know that that's

830
00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:27,120
Speaker 1: about the only thing about a smartphone that you don't

831
00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:28,920
Speaker 1: know and don't know how to manipulate, because I know

832
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:31,719
Speaker 1: you have a long history of Franks to a smartphone.

833
00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:34,080
Speaker 1: Then we'll talk about another time. But Peyton came on.

834
00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:36,040
Speaker 1: He was on this show like a half hour ago,

835
00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:39,240
Speaker 1: and we asked him since he is now a Madden

836
00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:43,040
Speaker 1: Ratings adjuster. We'd had him give himself and you some

837
00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:47,080
Speaker 1: ratings based on your broadcasting skills. Let's say the look, Eli,

838
00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:48,480
Speaker 1: if you will, I'll walk you through him. Then you

839
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:51,120
Speaker 1: can give your thoughts. Interview. You gave himself a twenty,

840
00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:53,640
Speaker 1: You and eighty, He says, he interrupts Letterman too much

841
00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:58,120
Speaker 1: general wittiness, both seventies a level playing field, and yes

842
00:39:58,160 --> 00:39:59,720
Speaker 1: out one hundred, and then Scooper go out one hundred,

843
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:02,880
Speaker 1: and then versus Tom Brady that rating himself attend and

844
00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:06,279
Speaker 1: you a hundred. So Eli, looking at these categories and ratings,

845
00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:08,400
Speaker 1: what did he get right? And what would you adjust

846
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:13,319
Speaker 1: about his adjustments? You know, I think Peyton I think

847
00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:16,480
Speaker 1: his interview skills are better. I think, you know, when

848
00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:19,720
Speaker 1: when kind of when you get off script, he adjust better.

849
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:23,920
Speaker 1: He has kind of questions that are unscripted that he

850
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:26,000
Speaker 1: has just kind of thought of in his head, or

851
00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:28,160
Speaker 1: or he just doesn't tell me he's gonna ask. So

852
00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:32,680
Speaker 1: I think his interview ability is uh is better. His wittingness,

853
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:34,960
Speaker 1: I think, you know, kind of you know, I think

854
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:37,600
Speaker 1: they're both are equal. I think they're both too high.

855
00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:39,560
Speaker 1: I think they're probably both need to go down a

856
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:43,319
Speaker 1: little bit. And um, you know, so I think he's

857
00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:46,799
Speaker 1: you know, pretty pretty pretty close. But I think he's uh,

858
00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:49,120
Speaker 1: you know, he did well versus Brady as well. He

859
00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:52,319
Speaker 1: likes to talk about Brady a lot, so uh, and

860
00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:54,640
Speaker 1: he talks about who he talked to that week a lot.

861
00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:57,800
Speaker 1: I mean, he's like name dropping like crazy. I can't believe.

862
00:40:57,800 --> 00:41:01,600
Speaker 1: I can't get over it. He spoke to Josh Allen

863
00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:03,239
Speaker 1: this week. We learned that last night. He said it

864
00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:05,520
Speaker 1: a couple of times. We heard it. Yeah, he's just

865
00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:09,680
Speaker 1: saying it exactly. I'm like, all right, I see the jersey.

866
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:13,600
Speaker 1: I see that your your son had a Josh Allen jersey,

867
00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:16,640
Speaker 1: and you know he used his name for his flag

868
00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:18,840
Speaker 1: football team. I'm like, I guess. I mean he's a

869
00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:24,120
Speaker 1: big Josh Allen fan. Who knew That's cool and this

870
00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:26,600
Speaker 1: is cool for us. Thank you so much, thank you

871
00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:28,200

Speaker 1: more game. It's a trip out to Los Angeles for

873
00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:32,080

874
00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:34,239
Speaker 1: just one more. I don't know, no, yeah, one more,

875
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:38,239
Speaker 1: I don't know. That's great, Okay, said, you're not coming

884
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:17,759
Speaker 1: a team more than eight hundred million dollars should put

885
00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:20,399
Speaker 1: you in the driver's seat. Too old to be rookie?

886
00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:22,520
Speaker 1: So why in the world would I give you this shot?

887

00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:19,520
Speaker 1: you know, step into these very iconic shoes and uh

914
00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:21,239
Speaker 1: and it was amazing. I mean I watched all this

915
00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:24,000
Speaker 1: stuff go down in real time. Uh And I was

916
00:44:24,120 --> 00:44:26,359
Speaker 1: very inspired then, and I was even more inspired after

917
00:44:26,400 --> 00:44:28,520
Speaker 1: having read the script and seeing all of the other

918
00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:31,040
Speaker 1: you know, real life stuff that I think a lot

919
00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:32,880
Speaker 1: of people just aren't privy too. We all know the

920
00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:36,120
Speaker 1: bullet points. We all know that Kurt was an undrafted

921
00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:39,320
Speaker 1: rookie and you know, uh didn't get into league until

922
00:44:39,360 --> 00:44:41,920
Speaker 1: later and was stocking shelves and played arena football. But

923
00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:44,319
Speaker 1: I don't think a lot of people know all of

924
00:44:44,360 --> 00:44:47,360
Speaker 1: the details, you know, all of the relationship between he

925
00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:50,640
Speaker 1: and Brenda, the relationship between he and his and their kids,

926
00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:53,439
Speaker 1: and how that all galvanized into his beautiful family unit,

927
00:44:53,520 --> 00:44:56,760
Speaker 1: and how that ultimately I think kind of um allowed

928
00:44:56,880 --> 00:44:58,319
Speaker 1: Kurt and Kirk and speak to this, but you know,

929
00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:01,399
Speaker 1: become to become a a better man, a better leader,

930
00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:05,400
Speaker 1: a better quarterback. Arena made him a faster quarterback, and

931
00:45:05,440 --> 00:45:08,120
Speaker 1: so then you know, to to to jump into this

932
00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:10,640
Speaker 1: role and get to bring all of that this. You

933
00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:13,440
Speaker 1: know this this football movie, I mean, it's an American

934
00:45:13,520 --> 00:45:17,000
Speaker 1: underdog obviously about Kurt, but Brenda is an underdog. Their

935
00:45:17,120 --> 00:45:20,040
Speaker 1: their son Zach is an underdog, and and it's really

936
00:45:20,040 --> 00:45:24,279
Speaker 1: you know, twenty five percent football, seventy family and relationship

937
00:45:24,320 --> 00:45:26,719
Speaker 1: and drama and scrape and change out of your car

938
00:45:26,800 --> 00:45:28,440
Speaker 1: doors to put gas in the tank. Which I think

939
00:45:28,520 --> 00:45:31,399
Speaker 1: is something that we can all relate to. So it's

940
00:45:31,400 --> 00:45:33,440
Speaker 1: a very powerful story, you know, and again one that

941
00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:36,040
Speaker 1: I think so many of us were inspired by, uh

942
00:45:36,280 --> 00:45:39,160
Speaker 1: watching it go down. But there's so much more to

943
00:45:39,239 --> 00:45:41,040
Speaker 1: the story. I think it's so much more that's relatable

944
00:45:41,080 --> 00:45:44,759
Speaker 1: to the audience. That's a great pitch. Will be there,

945
00:45:44,960 --> 00:45:47,200
Speaker 1: Everyone should be there. You know, you mentioned the bullet

946
00:45:47,200 --> 00:45:49,759
Speaker 1: points of Kurt's career. Everybody does that on them. We

947
00:45:49,920 --> 00:45:52,480
Speaker 1: here have the advantage of seeing past the bullet points. Now,

948
00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:57,160
Speaker 1: Kurt is this really classy, family oriented person. But Kurt's

949
00:45:57,160 --> 00:45:59,880
Speaker 1: got an edge to him. Now, Like, Kurt is very competitive.

950
00:46:00,160 --> 00:46:02,319
Speaker 1: He can get pissed off if the Patriots only throw

951
00:46:02,360 --> 00:46:04,799
Speaker 1: three passes and win. He is offended by it. Like,

952
00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:08,000
Speaker 1: let's talk about the character of Kurt Warner. How do

953
00:46:08,080 --> 00:46:10,120
Speaker 1: you get into character as this great guy, but this

954
00:46:10,400 --> 00:46:14,839
Speaker 1: very competitive athlete. Listen, well, first of all, Kurt, take

955
00:46:14,920 --> 00:46:18,600
Speaker 1: it easy. Look, Mac is still a rookie and it

956
00:46:18,680 --> 00:46:21,479
Speaker 1: was very windy. Okay, let the team run the ball.

957
00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:26,080
Speaker 1: They won the game. What is wrong with you? But listen,

958
00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:31,000
Speaker 1: He's always been competitive. He's he's always been competitive. This

959
00:46:31,040 --> 00:46:33,480
Speaker 1: is this is no new thing. I mean this is.

960
00:46:33,520 --> 00:46:36,279
Speaker 1: This was the grit and the fortitude that ultimately got

961
00:46:36,360 --> 00:46:38,359
Speaker 1: him into the NFL. He didn't give up. He did

962
00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:40,959
Speaker 1: not give up, and that's you know, ultimately, if God

963
00:46:40,960 --> 00:46:42,879
Speaker 1: gives you a dream when you're a kid, I think

964
00:46:42,880 --> 00:46:45,160
Speaker 1: we all get those dreams. Unfortunately that you know, the

965
00:46:45,200 --> 00:46:47,040
Speaker 1: world beats it out of you. You know sometimes that

966
00:46:47,080 --> 00:46:49,840
Speaker 1: your parents sometimes as your schooling or lack thereof or whatever.

967
00:46:50,200 --> 00:46:53,040
Speaker 1: But he's always been a pretty salty cat. He's an

968
00:46:53,040 --> 00:46:55,560
Speaker 1: incredible man. I'm super honored that I get to play him.

969
00:46:55,760 --> 00:46:58,600
Speaker 1: But he's an incredibly salty competitor. That is, there's no

970
00:46:58,600 --> 00:47:03,560
Speaker 1: doubt about that. Salty. That's kind of a wrong word.

971
00:47:03,560 --> 00:47:06,640
Speaker 1: I've never thought of myself as salty. But all right,

972
00:47:06,680 --> 00:47:13,800
Speaker 1: here's my question. You can get intimidate more intimidating playing

973
00:47:13,840 --> 00:47:17,719
Speaker 1: someone that's still alive, real life character that has to

974
00:47:17,760 --> 00:47:22,359
Speaker 1: critique you on a daily basis, or playing someone that

975
00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:24,920
Speaker 1: was a pretty good quarterback that the rest of the

976
00:47:24,960 --> 00:47:27,920
Speaker 1: world is going to critique you on when this movie

977
00:47:27,960 --> 00:47:32,799
Speaker 1: comes out. Well, it's in this case, it's both, isn't it.

978
00:47:33,520 --> 00:47:36,440
Speaker 1: I mean, I had to play a pretty good quarterback,

979
00:47:36,680 --> 00:47:38,319
Speaker 1: pretty good to the extent that you made it into

980
00:47:38,320 --> 00:47:40,799
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame and everybody else gets to look

981
00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:43,160
Speaker 1: at all that footage and compare me against that. But also,

982
00:47:43,480 --> 00:47:45,440
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, you know you were there. You were

983
00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:48,120
Speaker 1: there on set half the time, you and Brenda, and

984
00:47:48,160 --> 00:47:51,600
Speaker 1: there's a lot of there's there's expectations there, you know,

985
00:47:51,880 --> 00:47:54,840
Speaker 1: not just expectations to feel like we're doing you and

986
00:47:55,040 --> 00:47:57,760
Speaker 1: Brenda and your and your family story justice, but also

987
00:47:57,840 --> 00:48:00,000
Speaker 1: that you know, look, I'm not Daniel day Lewis playing

988
00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:03,040
Speaker 1: Abraham Lincoln. Okay, that guy's dead a long time ago.

989
00:48:03,120 --> 00:48:05,560
Speaker 1: Nobody can compare the two of them. By the way,

990
00:48:05,640 --> 00:48:08,719
Speaker 1: Daniel day lewis fantastic actor and fantastic work. I get

991
00:48:08,719 --> 00:48:12,799
Speaker 1: to play this knucklehead who's literally still on live television

992
00:48:13,120 --> 00:48:15,640
Speaker 1: where everybody can just compare me to him. So the

993
00:48:15,719 --> 00:48:20,040
Speaker 1: expectations are a little higher. I think, yeah, look, we

994
00:48:20,320 --> 00:48:22,719
Speaker 1: loved in Chazam obviously k mentioned Chuck and then this

995
00:48:22,760 --> 00:48:25,080
Speaker 1: thing here is coming out. But when you're filming the

996
00:48:25,120 --> 00:48:28,279
Speaker 1: sports movie, you're also working with Dennis Quaid and and

997
00:48:28,440 --> 00:48:31,320
Speaker 1: a pack win Like on set, what was the vibe

998
00:48:31,360 --> 00:48:33,600
Speaker 1: as you're living out the Kurt Warner story and the

999
00:48:33,600 --> 00:48:36,839
Speaker 1: Brenda Warner story and you're also with these very accomplished

1000
00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:40,680
Speaker 1: actors and actresses and getting your job done as well. Yeah,

1001
00:48:40,840 --> 00:48:43,520
Speaker 1: I mean, honestly, it was it was awesome. I mean,

1002
00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:46,400
Speaker 1: the whole thing happened very fast. You know, the pandemic

1003
00:48:46,440 --> 00:48:49,919
Speaker 1: obviously kind of screwed everything up in everyone's industries, ours

1004
00:48:49,960 --> 00:48:54,399
Speaker 1: included in Hollywood. And but once the movie kicked off,

1005
00:48:54,440 --> 00:48:56,280
Speaker 1: and once we all knew it was happening, it happened

1006
00:48:56,360 --> 00:48:58,399
Speaker 1: very quickly. Anna and I didn't get to meet each

1007
00:48:58,400 --> 00:49:01,840
Speaker 1: other until basically we were on set shooting scenes together.

1008
00:49:02,120 --> 00:49:05,040
Speaker 1: I mean, but you know, buy and large Um and Dennis,

1009
00:49:05,120 --> 00:49:06,480
Speaker 1: I mean, you know who I've been a fan of

1010
00:49:06,600 --> 00:49:09,040
Speaker 1: since I was a kid watching Inner Space. I mean

1011
00:49:09,080 --> 00:49:11,759
Speaker 1: that was just such a trip, uh, getting getting a

1012
00:49:11,800 --> 00:49:14,960
Speaker 1: sheer screen time with him, but both incredibly lovely people.

1013
00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:18,080
Speaker 1: Really honestly, I mean, I feel like I just feel

1014
00:49:18,160 --> 00:49:20,160
Speaker 1: very blessed. I feel like the whole thing felt very faded.

1015
00:49:20,160 --> 00:49:22,279
Speaker 1: I felt God's fingerprints were all over it. I felt

1016
00:49:22,320 --> 00:49:25,760
Speaker 1: like I got to step into playing you know, honestly, uh,

1017
00:49:25,800 --> 00:49:27,920
Speaker 1: not just a great role, but you know, portraying a

1018
00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:31,520
Speaker 1: really great man. And uh and and Brenda, and you know, Brenda,

1019
00:49:31,640 --> 00:49:34,719
Speaker 1: I think was you know so greatly portrayed by by

1020
00:49:34,760 --> 00:49:37,440
Speaker 1: Anna and Anna and I just jumped in. We trusted

1021
00:49:37,480 --> 00:49:39,600
Speaker 1: each other's like a big trust fault. We so jumped

1022
00:49:39,640 --> 00:49:42,000
Speaker 1: in and we gave it our all. And she's such

1023
00:49:42,040 --> 00:49:44,480
Speaker 1: a pro, and and you know, Dennis is such a pro,

1024
00:49:44,600 --> 00:49:47,160
Speaker 1: and uh it felt good. You know it was. It

1025
00:49:47,200 --> 00:49:49,120
Speaker 1: was a struggle. We were shooting in Oklahoma and the

1026
00:49:49,120 --> 00:49:51,600
Speaker 1: middle of winter, during the middle of the pandemic, when

1027
00:49:51,600 --> 00:49:53,920
Speaker 1: everybody's in all this you know, face masks and all

1028
00:49:53,960 --> 00:49:56,400
Speaker 1: that stuff and face shields, and I mean all that

1029
00:49:56,440 --> 00:49:59,440
Speaker 1: stuff disconnects you from your casting crew a bit um.

1030
00:49:59,520 --> 00:50:02,320
Speaker 1: But it was still I think it all felt like, Okay,

1031
00:50:02,360 --> 00:50:04,839
Speaker 1: I think we're making something special here. And having now

1032
00:50:04,880 --> 00:50:07,759
Speaker 1: seen the film, I'm so proud of what we all accomplished.

1033
00:50:08,880 --> 00:50:10,840
Speaker 1: We cannot wait to watch it. And Zach, we cannot

1034
00:50:10,920 --> 00:50:13,040
Speaker 1: let you go. There are several families amongst the casting

1035
00:50:13,080 --> 00:50:15,040
Speaker 1: career Good Morning Football, who have children in their homes

1036
00:50:15,080 --> 00:50:17,680
Speaker 1: who go around screaming, she's a am so tell Us

1037
00:50:17,719 --> 00:50:19,960
Speaker 1: in your best thirty seconds, we know the sequels coming

1038
00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:22,600
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty three, get us excited about what coming

1039
00:50:22,600 --> 00:50:26,120
Speaker 1: down the road. Without blowing the whole thing, tell Us yeah,

1040
00:50:26,160 --> 00:50:29,719
Speaker 1: without blown no thing, right, that's the trick. Look, I'm

1041
00:50:29,760 --> 00:50:32,960
Speaker 1: so grateful that I get to play this role. I mean,

1042
00:50:33,040 --> 00:50:36,640
Speaker 1: I'm basically just a huge man child anyway, so playing

1043
00:50:36,640 --> 00:50:41,120
Speaker 1: a superhero that's really a child inside chef's kiss. But

1044
00:50:41,239 --> 00:50:45,680
Speaker 1: I think the first one we stepped into something really special.

1045
00:50:45,760 --> 00:50:48,719
Speaker 1: We created something that I think it really resonated with people,

1046
00:50:48,719 --> 00:50:51,120
Speaker 1: particularly families that you're saying, there's so much heart, there's

1047
00:50:51,120 --> 00:50:54,040
Speaker 1: so much humor in it. And in the second one,

1048
00:50:54,760 --> 00:50:57,440
Speaker 1: we got more time and more budget and we were

1049
00:50:57,480 --> 00:51:01,440
Speaker 1: able to make I think, an even better version of

1050
00:51:01,480 --> 00:51:03,440
Speaker 1: what we did the first time, which we're very proud of.

1051
00:51:03,520 --> 00:51:05,480
Speaker 1: We just we you know, you can, you can put

1052
00:51:05,520 --> 00:51:07,600
Speaker 1: a little bit more into it, and sometimes oftentimes, you know,

1053
00:51:07,640 --> 00:51:09,560
Speaker 1: with sequels, people it's all about like bigger and better

1054
00:51:09,600 --> 00:51:11,960
Speaker 1: and bigger and better, And this isn't about bigger and better.

1055
00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:15,080
Speaker 1: It's just more about I think being able to everyone. Look,

1056
00:51:15,080 --> 00:51:17,520
Speaker 1: we all know our characters more, everyone's back from the original.

1057
00:51:17,920 --> 00:51:21,120
Speaker 1: Plus we had these incredible villains in Lucy Lou and

1058
00:51:21,200 --> 00:51:23,440
Speaker 1: Helen Mirren who I got to work with. It weren't

1059
00:51:23,480 --> 00:51:28,399
Speaker 1: so dope, so yeah, yeah, yeah, Dame Helen Mirren, I mean, guys,

1060
00:51:28,440 --> 00:51:33,239
Speaker 1: it doesn't really better, so hopefully everybody's very excited when

1061
00:51:33,239 --> 00:51:35,000
Speaker 1: the movie comes out and everybody goes out to see it.
