Nonetheless, our lead is, 13 00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:51,400 Speaker 1: and this will be a super Bowl heavy show. Play 14 00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:54,360 Speaker 1: the Hits, ma Man, play the Hits ran into our 15 00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:58,360 Speaker 1: old Boston there in San Francisco.

Mall Man, all right, We'll 17 00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:02,320 Speaker 1: play the so our lead this hour in pretty much 18 00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:05,360 Speaker 1: every hour from the Bay Area, forty six miles south 19 00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:08,200 Speaker 1: of the heart of San Francisco, where the fentanyl is 20 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:11,399 Speaker 1: flowing and Santa Clair a little cleaner. There to be 21 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,959 Speaker 1: exact a location there, the forty nine Ers Stadium. They 22 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,319 Speaker 1: do not pay us to name the stadium. It's if 23 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:19,520 Speaker 1: they want to buy a commercial, they can contact the 24 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,119 Speaker 1: fine sales department at iHeart. But the stadium named after 25 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:27,199 Speaker 1: a Denhim jeans company, as the legend goes, Denim jeans 26 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:31,280 Speaker 1: were invented in northern California during the Gold Rush back 27 00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:32,960 Speaker 1: in the day. But there it was all the hype, 28 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,880 Speaker 1: all to build up Super Bowl sixty. We spent a 29 00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,800 Speaker 1: year of our lives getting ready for this, planning it. Oh, 30 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:40,920 Speaker 1: my team's gonna be in ah bah blah. So it 31 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,440 Speaker 1: ended up the Patriots and the Seahawks. That was the matchup. 32 00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,880 Speaker 1: You had Mike Turco and Chris Collinsworth, they had the 33 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 1: call on and me, see, now, I don't know if 34 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 1: you're watching or not, perhaps not, What the hell else 35 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 1: did you have to do? And if you didn't watch, 36 00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,520 Speaker 1: what are you doing here? Anyway? What we watched so 37 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 1: you would not half to it's our good myths for 38 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,960 Speaker 1: the day. And you know, this was a Super Bowl 39 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 1: a little different than most other Super Bowls when the 40 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:12,120 Speaker 1: lead on the game is the defense with Devin Witherspoon, 41 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 1: Derek Hall not the guy that's the president of the Diamondbacks, 42 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 1: and Byron Murphy and the rest of that Seattle defense, 43 00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:27,840 Speaker 1: the defense dubbed the dark Side oo scary for Mike McDonald, 44 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:31,200 Speaker 1: and that defense getting all the love as the Seahawks 45 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,840 Speaker 1: end up winning a dud of a Super Bowl over 46 00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:37,000 Speaker 1: the Patriots twenty nine at thirteen, and they win the 47 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 1: second Super Bowl trophy in that team's history. That is 48 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:44,240 Speaker 1: a good jumping off point. Let us discuss did the 49 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:49,520 Speaker 1: Seahawks defense win it or did the Patriots offense lose it? 50 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,639 Speaker 1: In Super Bowl sixty. So my thoughts on this. I've 51 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 1: got common deered brand ambassador and senior fellow and we 52 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 1: will buying all of these things together and we are 53 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,200 Speaker 1: gonna make some spaghetti and meatballs which will be more 54 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:09,560 Speaker 1: enjoyable and more memorable than what we watched in this 55 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,519 Speaker 1: Super Bowl. So a the answer to the question, did 56 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 1: the Seahawks defense win it? Or did the Patriots offense 57 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:19,920 Speaker 1: lose it? The arrow on the Malor scoreboard is pointing 58 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 1: towards the New England offense and particularly Drake May and 59 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:28,720 Speaker 1: it's blinking red like a hazard light. Woo, that's what 60 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:33,400 Speaker 1: it sounds like. It's blinking and might want to get 61 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 1: that check. So the Mallard mantra, if you've been with me, 62 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 1: at all over the years. You know, one of the 63 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:40,760 Speaker 1: malad mantras that we have here is the fact that 64 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 1: most games are lost, they're not one. Sway is most 65 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 1: games are lost, they're not one. And on this night 66 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:53,680 Speaker 1: in Santa Claric, Drake May he was there. He commandeered 67 00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 1: the vomit comet. He commandeered the vomit comet, and it 68 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 1: was puke in the air everywhere. Three quarters are some 69 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 1: of the worst football you'll ever seen in your life. 70 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,840 Speaker 1: On the biggest stage, the biggest moment. The lights were 71 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 1: too bright. This guy choked. He choked. He looked seasick, 72 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:14,040 Speaker 1: dizzy and unsure which galaxy he was in. Drake May, 73 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 1: Holy canoley right, turn the ball over off and pop 74 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 1: gun throws, bad decisions, panic in the air everywhere. That's 75 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 1: Drake May. So let's slow down, like this was not 76 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:32,159 Speaker 1: forced by the Seahawks defense. Sales defense was good. This 77 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,960 Speaker 1: is not a mythological defense. Let's let's not get carried 78 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:36,800 Speaker 1: of it. This is not the Legion of Boom. I'd 79 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 1: rather have those guys. It's not certainly the eighty five Bears, 80 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 1: or that it was the two thousand Ravens with Ray Lewis, 81 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,480 Speaker 1: where's the white suit ray? Back in the day, they 82 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:51,280 Speaker 1: didn't dominate history. They didn't. They accepted gifts and nicely 83 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,159 Speaker 1: rapped gifts at that and from Drake May, which I 84 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:57,359 Speaker 1: believe in my math is correct. Two touchdowns courtesy of 85 00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:01,760 Speaker 1: Drake May. Gifts to the Seattle Sea. There were guys open. 86 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 1: I'm telling you there were guys open my TV. Maybe 87 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 1: it was my TV. There were guys open. And May's 88 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 1: compass was broken, his internal clock needed some new batteries 89 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:15,360 Speaker 1: and as a result, the Patriots offense ended up running 90 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,560 Speaker 1: on fumes in this game. Now there were a bunch 91 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 1: of garbage time completions. That doesn't really do anything for me. 92 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,280 Speaker 1: Maybe for you it does. But that's window dressing. You've 93 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 1: wrecked the car, the cars of Jalapi. It's all torn up, 94 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 1: it's disheveled, and now congratulations and put some window dressing 95 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:37,839 Speaker 1: on it. So Seattle did not steal, right, did not 96 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:41,640 Speaker 1: steal the Lombardy. They did not. New England left it 97 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:43,640 Speaker 1: on the curb and they put it on offer up 98 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 1: and said here take that. There's some trash out there. 99 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,360 Speaker 1: It's all a piece of metal, as Rob Manford would 100 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,159 Speaker 1: call it. The baseball commissioner. So go pick it up. Okay, 101 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,800 Speaker 1: I'll pick it up. Why not? What the heck? What 102 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:55,680 Speaker 1: do you have to do? All right, now, here's Drake May. 103 00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,480 Speaker 1: We'll play one of these years. Cut one, Cut one 104 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 1: from Drake May on being unable to sustain the offensive 105 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,280 Speaker 1: rhythm of the day. Take a list, you know, credit 106 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 1: to them. We were moving. 107 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:10,159 Speaker 3: To solid in the first couple of rives and just 108 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:11,600 Speaker 3: have a couple of negative plays that would kind of 109 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:13,720 Speaker 3: push behind the chains. And then from there we just 110 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 3: you know, couldn't you know, stay ahead of the chains 111 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,479 Speaker 3: and and and third and short we could pick up 112 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,839 Speaker 3: some first downs and they had brought some some pressure 113 00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:23,880 Speaker 3: where you know, they got us a few times. And 114 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:25,720 Speaker 3: that's gotta be better with the football. Make better decisions, 115 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 3: and I gotta make better throws when when the game 116 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 3: is uh, you know it's like that. I gotta make 117 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:30,480 Speaker 3: some throws to help us. 118 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 1: Move with the football. Holy holy kenoy, my goodness, how 119 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 1: boring is see? 120 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:36,680 Speaker 3: All right? 121 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 1: But wait, there's more page two here. Keeping the beat 122 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:43,359 Speaker 1: going and going and going and going. We keep the 123 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 1: beat going here and here's more from Drake May and 124 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:52,599 Speaker 1: uh talking about this as a learning opportunity, take a list. 125 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:54,880 Speaker 3: That's what fuz And I think that's the biggest thing 126 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 3: about my life is he gonna have tongues like this 127 00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 3: and tell you bounce back. And I think, you know, 128 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:01,200 Speaker 3: all those got in the locker room, the A're gonna 129 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:03,400 Speaker 3: use this as fuel. And I think you go to 130 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:07,160 Speaker 3: war with those guys any time, any day, anywhere, a 131 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,600 Speaker 3: bit to get back here and not have this feeling 132 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:11,000 Speaker 3: and have what they're feeling out there. 133 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:16,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, well you want to go to well, you just 134 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 1: not in the super Bowl. You do not want to 135 00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:19,520 Speaker 1: go to war with him in the Super Bowl. Now 136 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:21,840 Speaker 1: and now the question. I noticed this at the end 137 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 1: of the broadcast. NBC's Chris Collinsworth described the Patriots quarterback 138 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 1: Drake May's performance as a quote learning experience. Is what 139 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:33,880 Speaker 1: he said, is that how you see it? Is that 140 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:37,120 Speaker 1: how you see it? So and you heard what Drake 141 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:39,280 Speaker 1: May said. Drake May also said that in the post game, 142 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,800 Speaker 1: but during the broadcast, Chris Chris collins Worth, it was like, wow, 143 00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 1: you know it was a learning, learning experience. So my 144 00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 1: reaction to that, this is not summer school, It is 145 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:52,400 Speaker 1: not right. This was Super Bowl sixty. It's finals week, 146 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:56,080 Speaker 1: it's the final exam, and Drake May showed up without 147 00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:58,760 Speaker 1: a pencil. Well, you got to have a pencil, but 148 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:02,120 Speaker 1: it's twenty twenty. I don't care you have to have 149 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:06,200 Speaker 1: a pencil. You didn't have a pencil, nomb nuts. Learning 150 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:09,920 Speaker 1: experience is what you say when your kid spills a 151 00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 1: juice on the carpet. You say, well, I was a 152 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,720 Speaker 1: learning experience. Don't do it again. Okay, Not when your 153 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 1: quarterback turns the biggest stage into a slipping slide, which 154 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,360 Speaker 1: is what Drake May did in this game. May wasn't 155 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:24,120 Speaker 1: just bad. He wasn't just bad. He was a what 156 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:29,560 Speaker 1: walking caution sign? May day, may day, may Day. I'm 157 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:33,040 Speaker 1: telling you balls were behind receivers that were catchable. They 158 00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 1: were open. It wasn't shut down Seattle defense. Lack of 159 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:40,199 Speaker 1: awareness in terms of like a like a house cat 160 00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 1: the clock awareness of the house. You gotta know you 161 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:45,520 Speaker 1: gotta get rid of the ball, and you shouldn't be 162 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:47,719 Speaker 1: getting sacked as often as Drake May get sacked. That's 163 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:51,079 Speaker 1: a bad sign for the future of Drake May holding 164 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,640 Speaker 1: the ball like he you know, get owed him money 165 00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:55,640 Speaker 1: or something like that, and he sucked at a time 166 00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:58,920 Speaker 1: you cannot suck. The lights were nuclear bright. We all 167 00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,120 Speaker 1: know it, right, I mean, not a great matchup, not 168 00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 1: a sexy matchup. Nobody gets all horny to watch Seattle 169 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:07,080 Speaker 1: in New England. These teams lacking star power and the 170 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:08,960 Speaker 1: game went the way we thought it would go. Was boring. 171 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:13,480 Speaker 1: But Drake May became a brand ambassador in this game 172 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 1: for dude wipes because there was a lot of popo 173 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:20,000 Speaker 1: on the field. There stinky, messy situation really from soup 174 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:24,760 Speaker 1: to nuts. And let's stop the pop Warner excuses. Like 175 00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:28,040 Speaker 1: the Patriots, we knew going in they played a cream 176 00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:31,160 Speaker 1: puff schedule and even with that, this was still a 177 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:35,520 Speaker 1: winnable game. They just decided to give it to Seattle. Right, 178 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:38,320 Speaker 1: You played the cream puff schedule all year, and here's 179 00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,400 Speaker 1: another opportunity against Sam Darnald, who didn't even play well. 180 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:46,000 Speaker 1: You played worse than Sam Darnald, for God's sakes. That's embarrassing. 181 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:49,760 Speaker 1: That should be a felony for Drake May. Sam Darnald 182 00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:52,080 Speaker 1: didn't suck as much as you did. Now, Drake May 183 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:53,760 Speaker 1: got a bunch of stats in the fourth court, the 184 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,240 Speaker 1: game was already over, but come on, now he was 185 00:09:56,280 --> 00:10:00,440 Speaker 1: a net negative. And then Collinsworth wants to call it growth, 186 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,239 Speaker 1: and I call it stepping into a ditch. Wearing concrete 187 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:05,960 Speaker 1: cleats is what I call it. There, it was not 188 00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:09,800 Speaker 1: a lesson. It was again, it was a warning situation here, 189 00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:14,040 Speaker 1: As the great philosopher Eminem taught me years ago, you 190 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:17,640 Speaker 1: only get one shot, and there's no guarantee at all 191 00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:19,800 Speaker 1: that the Patriots will be back with Drake May. And 192 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:22,680 Speaker 1: Drake May could be selling insurance within five years. You 193 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:26,240 Speaker 1: never know. Opportunities are short lived. Drake May blew his 194 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,160 Speaker 1: he blew it. He was terrible. And I don't want 195 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:33,040 Speaker 1: to hear any excuses. That guy sucked. Okay, Drake May 196 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:36,600 Speaker 1: was an embarrassment to the quarterback position. That guy he 197 00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,040 Speaker 1: couldn't handle the moment, just like he sucked in these 198 00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:41,560 Speaker 1: other games. And all my guys in Boston were like, 199 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:45,040 Speaker 1: well it's okay you before, Oh yeah, okay, Well he 200 00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:47,960 Speaker 1: wasn't fine. Okay, he wasn't fining you losers, all right, 201 00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:52,240 Speaker 1: last word here to the coaching ranks. So the question 202 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:56,160 Speaker 1: here is what does this Super Bowl win do for 203 00:10:56,360 --> 00:11:02,080 Speaker 1: the legend, for the resume of Seattle Seahawks coach Mike McDonald. 204 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:05,839 Speaker 1: What does this win do you are now for the 205 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:09,360 Speaker 1: rest of your career a champion on your Wikipedia page, 206 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,920 Speaker 1: or it'll say super Bowl Champion coach on your Pro 207 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:16,480 Speaker 1: Football Reference page, it'll say super Bowl Championship coach. So 208 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:19,480 Speaker 1: what does this do? Well, it does that. It's a 209 00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:24,480 Speaker 1: puffy sticker for Mike McDonald. It's a puffy sticker. That's it. 210 00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:29,320 Speaker 1: You move along. Everyone's acting like this turns him into 211 00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:33,120 Speaker 1: the reincarnation of Vince Lombardi or something like that. It doesn't. 212 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:38,240 Speaker 1: And McDonald he wins the game. And even during the 213 00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:41,240 Speaker 1: broadcast they were talking about Tariko was talking about the 214 00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 1: fact and he was saying this on the broadcast late 215 00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:47,680 Speaker 1: in the game, that he's a nice guy. And essentially 216 00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:50,760 Speaker 1: the way I interpreted it, they were saying, he's a 217 00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:56,000 Speaker 1: nice guy with the personality of drywall, of absolute drywall. 218 00:11:56,120 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 1: So Mike McDonald, even with this, is not a brand. 219 00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:06,800 Speaker 1: He's not a presence. I know, no stradinas gonna shrine 220 00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:11,439 Speaker 1: to him, will come down. Okay, he's Iceberg, lettuce, no dressing, 221 00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:15,880 Speaker 1: no crew tons. That's what Mike McDonald is. And even 222 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:18,319 Speaker 1: with this, when you forget he's on the plate halfway 223 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:22,600 Speaker 1: through the meal, he doesn't know, he doesn't move the needle, 224 00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:25,880 Speaker 1: and this does not make him a household name. And 225 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:30,199 Speaker 1: unless I'm mistaken, I believe I'm correct on this. Mike McDonald, 226 00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:33,400 Speaker 1: the Seattles coach, is still a senior fellow at the 227 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:38,840 Speaker 1: Dolesmore Society. He's pleasant, he's polite, he's completely anonymous. And 228 00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:44,200 Speaker 1: history is littered with coaches that have won Super Bowls 229 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:48,679 Speaker 1: and yet failed to really establish themselves as a household 230 00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:52,720 Speaker 1: name as a brand. If you want to go somewhat recently, 231 00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:57,000 Speaker 1: Doug Peterson in Philadelphia, a Super Bowl winning coach and 232 00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:00,760 Speaker 1: not very memorable. Gary Koobiak won with the brine Goes again, 233 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:02,439 Speaker 1: doesn't stand out. You want to go back a few 234 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:06,040 Speaker 1: more decades, George Seffert with the forty nine ers one 235 00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:10,040 Speaker 1: I believe a couple with the Niners inheriting great Hall 236 00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:13,280 Speaker 1: of Fame players, but nothing really memorable about George Seffert 237 00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:15,560 Speaker 1: in that era. So yeah, you got a ring on 238 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:19,120 Speaker 1: the finger and dust on the legacy and all that. 239 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:23,160 Speaker 1: So that's great. This Super Bowl sixty, it doesn't to me. 240 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:29,280 Speaker 1: It doesn't elevate Mike McDonald. It just laminates the resume. 241 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:33,160 Speaker 1: If you will, and any you know what you. Congratulations, 242 00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:38,600 Speaker 1: you won. But I don't think there's anything memorable that 243 00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:41,320 Speaker 1: we will take from this game. If you can tell 244 00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:46,600 Speaker 1: me one thing memorable about Mike McDonald, I'll wait for that. 245 00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,960 Speaker 1: Just a game in general, but him in particular. I 246 00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:53,480 Speaker 1: didn't see anything, and I watched the whole thing. The 247 00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:58,520 Speaker 1: commercials weren't very good. The pregame stuff was really annoying. 248 00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:00,600 Speaker 1: I had that on in the background, and then it 249 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:02,120 Speaker 1: was just kind of okay, it was fine. It was 250 00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,600 Speaker 1: a super Bowl, and we'll move on and we'll hope 251 00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:06,560 Speaker 1: for better super Bowls in the years to come. Because 252 00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:08,800 Speaker 1: this was not it. This is this is not a 253 00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:12,880 Speaker 1: good product and just a whole thing from beginning to end. 254 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,320 Speaker 1: It was not necessarily because of the broadcasters. It was 255 00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:18,840 Speaker 1: just the teams that were playing very unmemorable for the 256 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,480 Speaker 1: casual observer of the Super Bowl. 257 00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:23,880 Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Mellor 258 00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:27,480 Speaker 2: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on 259 00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:31,080 Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio. 260 00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:36,520 Speaker 4: Appst goats here.

More noise coming out 282 00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:53,840 Speaker 1: of Lost Wages, Nevada, a kocoffney of sounds coming out 283 00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:56,120 Speaker 1: of Vegas. If you've not been following the story. Perhaps 284 00:15:56,160 --> 00:16:01,720 Speaker 1: now we've learned now yet again at Edge Rusher Max Crosby, 285 00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:07,440 Speaker 1: mad Max, Max Crosby, the man born to play for 286 00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:11,720 Speaker 1: the Silver and Black, a pirate's life for me. Max 287 00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:17,280 Speaker 1: Crosby weapon, He's not happy, and it has been repeated 288 00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:22,800 Speaker 1: that he face to face told Tom Brady good old 289 00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:27,160 Speaker 1: skinny jeans Tom Brady there that he wishes to leave 290 00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:31,520 Speaker 1: the Raiders. Max Crosby does not want to be part 291 00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:36,160 Speaker 1: of the Raiders organization anymore. We report last a couple 292 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:39,480 Speaker 1: of days here saying that Max Crosby told Tom Brady 293 00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:43,480 Speaker 1: he will never play for the Raiders again from an 294 00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:48,320 Speaker 1: unnamed GM. An unnamed GM, that is a fact. He 295 00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:52,240 Speaker 1: told them that he will retire before he ever plays 296 00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:56,680 Speaker 1: for them again. Max Crosby supposedly telling the Raiders, I'm out, suckers, 297 00:16:57,240 --> 00:17:00,960 Speaker 1: see what I had that part? Uh Bay. The quote says, 298 00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:03,640 Speaker 1: I'm not sure they're actually going to trade him, they 299 00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:06,160 Speaker 1: being the Raiders. Miles Garrett said the same thing last year. 300 00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:08,800 Speaker 1: We know how that ended up. So that is a 301 00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:12,720 Speaker 1: good jumping off point. Let us discuss the question what 302 00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:16,800 Speaker 1: are the odds? What are the odds that Max Crosby, 303 00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:20,880 Speaker 1: the Raiders star edge rusher Max Crosby ends up changing 304 00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:27,800 Speaker 1: laundry this offseason. So my observations, I've got marketing, slogan, Disney, storytelling, 305 00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:33,840 Speaker 1: and HOGI Shop and we will combine all of these 306 00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:38,040 Speaker 1: things together and we're gonna go one, two, three and 307 00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:40,200 Speaker 1: ABC is what we're going to do. But we always 308 00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:51,040 Speaker 1: start out with number one, all right, So we own 309 00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:56,760 Speaker 1: up the Mallor sports Book now not associated with DraftKings 310 00:17:56,840 --> 00:18:01,200 Speaker 1: or any other legitimate gambling operation. This is the sportsbook 311 00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:05,320 Speaker 1: and the Mallard Sportsbook. Gods, we have Max Crosby wearing 312 00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:09,439 Speaker 1: different laundry, changing laundry this offseason. At minus one eighty 313 00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:14,919 Speaker 1: minus one eighty the malarods minus one eighty, that implies 314 00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:18,320 Speaker 1: a sixty five percent chance that he is gone. Gee 315 00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:23,520 Speaker 1: oh and eight gone Max Crosby. It's the part of 316 00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:26,760 Speaker 1: the movie where they're doing the saber dance right now, 317 00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:31,919 Speaker 1: they're saber rattling Max Crosby and his group. It's the 318 00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:36,159 Speaker 1: silly season. It's so's silly. It's the silly season of 319 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:38,400 Speaker 1: the NFL. So this is where you see those cryptic 320 00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:42,879 Speaker 1: messages that get sent out on social media that he said, 321 00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:46,240 Speaker 1: he said, which are great for talk radio. They keep 322 00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:49,520 Speaker 1: the VU meter moving on talk radio. It's wonderful. So 323 00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:54,720 Speaker 1: Crosby and his guys are rattling the cage, if you will, 324 00:18:54,880 --> 00:19:00,360 Speaker 1: rattling the cage because he is DNY all right, he's 325 00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:03,679 Speaker 1: out and he's done. And he's also done with the 326 00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:07,240 Speaker 1: updated marketing slogan. And I don't know how this thing 327 00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:10,000 Speaker 1: got improved. I'm not sure what ad firm the Raiders use. 328 00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:12,120 Speaker 1: When I was a kid, I'm getting old, but when 329 00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:13,919 Speaker 1: I was a kid, the Raiders always went with the 330 00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:18,440 Speaker 1: commitment of excellence. And somewhere along the way when they 331 00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:21,919 Speaker 1: moved to Oakland into Vegas, they changed it up. And 332 00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:25,920 Speaker 1: now the commitment to excrement doesn't have the same ring 333 00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:27,960 Speaker 1: to it. But that's what the Raiders have done since 334 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:32,520 Speaker 1: they were really twenty years plus, twenty years plus the 335 00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:37,040 Speaker 1: rich Gannon super Bowl where Barrett Robbins went to Tijuana 336 00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:40,080 Speaker 1: to enjoy some nice shows and whatever else he was doing, 337 00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:43,840 Speaker 1: and that whole thing. But it has been the commitment 338 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:49,240 Speaker 1: to excrement for the Raiders. There pure organic excrement, and 339 00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:51,760 Speaker 1: that's just the way it is right now. So it's 340 00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:56,840 Speaker 1: a vast wasteland, a dystopian world. There in the desert. 341 00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:00,679 Speaker 1: You've got Tom Brady, who's quote running thing but doesn't 342 00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:02,600 Speaker 1: want the title as the GM, so he hired a 343 00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:05,639 Speaker 1: buddy of his old college buddy to be the GM 344 00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:08,800 Speaker 1: there from and he's running the Raiders from understand, from 345 00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:13,600 Speaker 1: his home in Miami, the Miami area, or the home 346 00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:18,439 Speaker 1: he's got in La or the place in Boston, or 347 00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:21,720 Speaker 1: northern California, anywhere he wants to be. The South of France. 348 00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:25,640 Speaker 1: He's running the Miami Dolphin Miami, running the Raiders from Miami. 349 00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:28,200 Speaker 1: Uh oh, he did at one point want to run 350 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:32,879 Speaker 1: the Dolphins. Meanwhile, you've got he Tom Brady and his bff, 351 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:37,199 Speaker 1: Alex Guerrero, the con artist Alex Guerrero, not my opinion, 352 00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:39,679 Speaker 1: it's a fact he was convicted of it, roaming the 353 00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:43,440 Speaker 1: halls in a well. He's like the wellness ghost, Alex Guerrero, 354 00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:49,440 Speaker 1: and he's haunting whoa, whoa. So if I'm Max Crosby, 355 00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:53,040 Speaker 1: if I'm Max Crosby, i am looking around. I'm saying 356 00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:56,119 Speaker 1: the Patriots they need some help on the defense. Was 357 00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:57,960 Speaker 1: pretty good, but they could use some more help. There. 358 00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:00,399 Speaker 1: You look around and say, what the Raiders trade me 359 00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:02,960 Speaker 1: to an AFC team They certainly wouldn't trade you to 360 00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:05,240 Speaker 1: an AFC West team, So you can eliminate the Chiefs 361 00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:08,280 Speaker 1: or your Max Crosby. What about the Ravens or Buffalo 362 00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:10,800 Speaker 1: or how about in the NFC the Lions of the 363 00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:14,120 Speaker 1: Rams one of those teams, So what about that? Anyone 364 00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:17,800 Speaker 1: with a pulse? Anybody want Max Crosby? Does anyone want 365 00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:21,200 Speaker 1: Mad Max? There? And what about the Raiders? They've got 366 00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:24,600 Speaker 1: the number one pick coming in there. Oh, it's so excited. 367 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:28,520 Speaker 1: Fernando Mendoza, the new Messiah, the new Savior of the Raiders, 368 00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:32,640 Speaker 1: the old Hoosier. Yeah, appears that that is not enough. 369 00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:35,920 Speaker 1: Max Crosby has seen the highlight reel, the sizzle reel 370 00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:40,600 Speaker 1: of Fernando Mendoza and is clearly not impressed. He still 371 00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:43,639 Speaker 1: wants to go to divorce court there and Vegas is 372 00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:46,159 Speaker 1: shopping to see right now what they can get in return. 373 00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:49,280 Speaker 1: And we're just beginning the silly season today, the tenth 374 00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:52,200 Speaker 1: day of February's we're doing this in real time, so 375 00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:56,320 Speaker 1: we have the franchise tag period which is upcoming here 376 00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:58,879 Speaker 1: the next couple of weeks in February. Then we've got 377 00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:02,200 Speaker 1: the freegg see first wave of free agency in March, 378 00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:05,520 Speaker 1: always a fan favorite. And then we have the combines 379 00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:07,240 Speaker 1: which will be in March, and the lead up to 380 00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:12,280 Speaker 1: the NFL Draft in April, all blocks, building blocks on 381 00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:16,240 Speaker 1: the silly season in the NFL. Now page two, staying 382 00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:22,480 Speaker 1: in Nevada, staying in the desert. There. The Raiders did 383 00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:26,880 Speaker 1: make it official. They welcomed the Seahawks offensive coordinator Clint Kubiak, 384 00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:29,680 Speaker 1: the latest NEPO baby to get a head coaching job 385 00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:33,560 Speaker 1: in the NFL, and they posted a twenty one second 386 00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:39,400 Speaker 1: video clip of his family, Clint Kubiak and he deplaning 387 00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:43,760 Speaker 1: on a private plane because God forbidden, you fly Southwest 388 00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:49,679 Speaker 1: Airlines private plane in Vegas, all dotting the Raider gear, 389 00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:53,520 Speaker 1: which can be getting You can't get that stuff now 390 00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:56,280 Speaker 1: at a discount store anyway. They have the desert backdrop 391 00:22:56,359 --> 00:23:00,960 Speaker 1: there and right oh the arrival now Raiders or now 392 00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:04,439 Speaker 1: it's serious. Now it's serious. So Kubiak thirty eight. He 393 00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:09,359 Speaker 1: landed just hours after the Seattle Seahawks defense won the championship, 394 00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:11,480 Speaker 1: not the offense, the defense. You don't win championships on 395 00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:14,080 Speaker 1: field goals. You went on defense in this case. And 396 00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:16,680 Speaker 1: so super Bowl six, he goes the way of Seattle 397 00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:22,280 Speaker 1: and the announcement, the post on social media, all that stuff, 398 00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,119 Speaker 1: and that's where we are. So the question what is 399 00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:29,920 Speaker 1: your early assessment, What is your early assessment on Tom 400 00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:33,640 Speaker 1: Brady's vision? And oh what a vision it is. Tom 401 00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:38,280 Speaker 1: Brady with Clint Kubiak, who he slobbered all over. It 402 00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:40,680 Speaker 1: was illegal in the Bible belt. What Tom Brady was 403 00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:44,040 Speaker 1: saying about Kubiak on the broadcast is when Heed the 404 00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:47,320 Speaker 1: Seahawks forty nine er orf RAM game actually was af 405 00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:49,760 Speaker 1: RAM game anyway, So what is your assessment of Tom 406 00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:55,560 Speaker 1: Brady's vision with the former now Seahawks offensive when air 407 00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:59,800 Speaker 1: Clint Kubiak now in charge with the Raiders, so they 408 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:03,040 Speaker 1: if you're a fan of the Raiders, and most of 409 00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:05,040 Speaker 1: the people that have season tickets to the Raiders just 410 00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:08,119 Speaker 1: do that for financial gain because you can sell the 411 00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:10,240 Speaker 1: tickets to fans of other teams and they'll buy them, 412 00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:12,160 Speaker 1: and so maybe you go to one game a year 413 00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:14,439 Speaker 1: and you make some money on the other ones and 414 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:16,920 Speaker 1: all that stuff. But if you're a real Raider fan, 415 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:22,359 Speaker 1: you should be petrified, terrified, and zombie fied at this 416 00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:25,479 Speaker 1: particular point. In honor of the late great Brian Wheeler, 417 00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:30,200 Speaker 1: boom shacka Laca, the Portland Trailblazers broadcaster of years gone by. 418 00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:33,520 Speaker 1: But this is paranoia, is what this is, right, This 419 00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:37,399 Speaker 1: is a it's pattern recognition. At this point, we are 420 00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:41,160 Speaker 1: now at pattern recognition. Is where we are Tom Brady 421 00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:46,639 Speaker 1: the puppeteer behind the curtain, and you look at this 422 00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:48,600 Speaker 1: and then he's like, well, you know, he's essentially telling 423 00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:52,240 Speaker 1: the Raider fans trust me, brawl, trust me. Bral that's 424 00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:55,919 Speaker 1: the message from Tom Brady because you just hired a coach, 425 00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:59,040 Speaker 1: you just picked a quarterback a year ago, and they 426 00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:03,960 Speaker 1: were two of the worst. Pete Carroll and Genosmith and 427 00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:08,239 Speaker 1: Raider Nation, where have you gone? Their lonely eyes, they 428 00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:11,840 Speaker 1: pretty much roll their eyes at this particular point, they 429 00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:14,200 Speaker 1: roll their eyes and said, we've heard that before. We've 430 00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:17,119 Speaker 1: heard that one before. It appears to Tom Brady's a 431 00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:20,879 Speaker 1: big fan of the Disney storytelling though, and the Raiders 432 00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:23,800 Speaker 1: in general love the fairy tale. You don't think of 433 00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:26,560 Speaker 1: the Raiders as a franchise that would embrace the fairy tale. 434 00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:29,920 Speaker 1: But this feels like the Princess and the frog right 435 00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:33,440 Speaker 1: that you have in Vegas. You have to keep kissing 436 00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:37,480 Speaker 1: toads and you're waiting for Prince Charming to show up 437 00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:41,280 Speaker 1: and it's not happening. And since twenty twenty one, when 438 00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:45,680 Speaker 1: the Raiders were forced to get rid of John Gruden 439 00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:49,680 Speaker 1: because of a strategic dump to the New York Times 440 00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:53,680 Speaker 1: in the Wall Street Journal by someone some mystery person 441 00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:57,360 Speaker 1: at the NFL. So Gruden got whacked. Then they had 442 00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:01,280 Speaker 1: Rich Basakia the specialty, but they didn't want him around, 443 00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:03,080 Speaker 1: so they hired Josh McDaniels. Because they wanted a guy 444 00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:05,400 Speaker 1: that sucks as a head coach. They hired Josh McDaniels. 445 00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:08,920 Speaker 1: He sucked as a head coach as the promotion for 446 00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:11,320 Speaker 1: his work. And then they hired Antonio Pierce who was 447 00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:13,919 Speaker 1: born to be a Raider until they had to coach games, 448 00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:16,560 Speaker 1: and then he sucked. And then lately it's been Pete 449 00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:20,840 Speaker 1: Carroll and now it's this Jackwagon who comes in from 450 00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:24,919 Speaker 1: Seattle that is not exactly a vision board. It is not. 451 00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:27,520 Speaker 1: It's like a yard sale type thing. It's like, hey, 452 00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:29,159 Speaker 1: you want this how much? I don't know what's your 453 00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:31,480 Speaker 1: best offer? Two bucks? Okay, you got that two bucks 454 00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:34,240 Speaker 1: right there. Done So. Clint Kubiak, who will be the 455 00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:38,560 Speaker 1: latest head coach to get the baptism by fire, hired 456 00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:43,840 Speaker 1: as a sink or swim option, and he gets a 457 00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:45,760 Speaker 1: five year contract. So this is an one of these 458 00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:48,040 Speaker 1: guys gonna suck and then get paid out for at 459 00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:51,040 Speaker 1: least three years. And you got a rookie quarterback on 460 00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:53,560 Speaker 1: the way, what could possibly go wrong? Rookie coach as 461 00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:57,359 Speaker 1: a head coach, and a rookie quarterback in Fernando Mendoza, 462 00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:00,679 Speaker 1: the stop Watch, the doomsday clock, tic tic tic tic 463 00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:02,760 Speaker 1: tic tic tic tic tic tic tic tic tic tic 464 00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:05,520 Speaker 1: tic tic dick, just like that. And so don't be shocked. 465 00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:10,040 Speaker 1: The word that I'm hearing from reliable or unreliable sources 466 00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:14,080 Speaker 1: is that Gary Kubiak will parachute in. That's the daddy, 467 00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:17,399 Speaker 1: and he will be the adult in the room to 468 00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:20,120 Speaker 1: hire your dad to help you out. That's the new 469 00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:22,959 Speaker 1: trend in the NFL. Worked out so well in Nashville 470 00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:27,760 Speaker 1: when the Titans hired Bill Callahan, the babysit Brian Callahan 471 00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:30,359 Speaker 1: and then they're all gone. Now see you later on 472 00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:35,240 Speaker 1: that the father son football combo in the NFL, because 473 00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:39,640 Speaker 1: apparently experience is hereditary. Now, I guess that's the way 474 00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:43,200 Speaker 1: this works here. It's the NEPO Baby Way. Oh, the 475 00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:47,560 Speaker 1: Nepo Baby Way. It's organizational roulette, and the Raiders are 476 00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:53,360 Speaker 1: betting on green, not zero green double zero. That's where 477 00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:54,320 Speaker 1: the Raiders are betting. 478 00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:56,600 Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller 479 00:27:56,680 --> 00:28:00,720 Speaker 2: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
