1
00:00:06,413 --> 00:00:08,933
Speaker 1: NFL Cover zero with Matt Jones and Drew Franklin is

2
00:00:08,933 --> 00:00:21,572
Speaker 1: a production of the NFL and iHeart podcast. Well it

3
00:00:21,733 --> 00:00:25,732
Speaker 1: is a sad Cover zero for me. Just minutes after

4
00:00:26,012 --> 00:00:32,092
Speaker 1: my Chicago Bears lose a heartbreaker to the Rams, we

5
00:00:32,173 --> 00:00:37,373
Speaker 1: are here for NFL Cover zero. I'm Matt Jones, Drew Franklin. Drew.

6
00:00:37,453 --> 00:00:39,413
Speaker 1: You know, I don't even get a chance to, like,

7
00:00:40,773 --> 00:00:42,253
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't even get a chance to

8
00:00:42,733 --> 00:00:46,453
Speaker 1: sort of recover. Just minutes ago we lost this game,

9
00:00:46,653 --> 00:00:50,413
Speaker 1: and it had a chance, if the Bears had won,

10
00:00:51,133 --> 00:00:54,973
Speaker 1: to potentially have one of the two three four greatest

11
00:00:55,013 --> 00:00:58,453
Speaker 1: plays in NFL history. And I wonder if it'll be

12
00:00:58,493 --> 00:01:01,693
Speaker 1: forgotten now that they lost. But the Bears lose it overtime.

13
00:01:02,613 --> 00:01:04,333
Speaker 1: I feel for you, But what a great game?

14
00:01:04,533 --> 00:01:07,253
Speaker 2: I mean, is it is it better that that play

15
00:01:07,292 --> 00:01:09,173
Speaker 2: happened and that you got the little taste of the

16
00:01:09,253 --> 00:01:12,732
Speaker 2: excitement or did you rather just not have the false

17
00:01:12,732 --> 00:01:13,413
Speaker 2: hope there at all?

18
00:01:13,452 --> 00:01:14,932
Speaker 1: With the Williams Hill Mary.

19
00:01:14,773 --> 00:01:17,292
Speaker 2: They got Jay, I kind of felt like the whole

20
00:01:17,292 --> 00:01:20,013
Speaker 2: playoffs you were kind of playing with house money a

21
00:01:20,012 --> 00:01:24,013
Speaker 2: little bit, because I mean I felt all year I

22
00:01:24,053 --> 00:01:26,213
Speaker 2: think they I think they were fortunate to win the division.

23
00:01:26,253 --> 00:01:27,732
Speaker 1: I mean, I think they would have made the playoffs

24
00:01:27,773 --> 00:01:31,493
Speaker 1: either way. And then of course the Packers game was ridiculous,

25
00:01:32,092 --> 00:01:36,413
Speaker 1: and then this game, I mean that the Bears did

26
00:01:36,413 --> 00:01:38,853
Speaker 1: a lot of bat stupid things throughout the game, but

27
00:01:38,893 --> 00:01:41,853
Speaker 1: then you know, he ran, Caleb Williams runs thirty yards

28
00:01:41,893 --> 00:01:43,373
Speaker 1: in the wrong direction. I mean, that have to play

29
00:01:43,372 --> 00:01:48,653
Speaker 1: that only works in your backyard, and it works, and

30
00:01:48,853 --> 00:01:51,653
Speaker 1: I mean I celebrated, but then immediately I kind of

31
00:01:51,693 --> 00:01:54,052
Speaker 1: thought they were going to go for two because Collinsworth

32
00:01:54,093 --> 00:01:57,053
Speaker 1: had said earlier that Ben Johnson had suggested he would

33
00:01:57,093 --> 00:01:58,853
Speaker 1: go for two. So I was kind of like, I

34
00:01:59,013 --> 00:02:01,333
Speaker 1: muted my celebration because I thought they were going to

35
00:02:01,373 --> 00:02:04,013
Speaker 1: go for two and they ended up not doing it.

36
00:02:05,813 --> 00:02:07,893
Speaker 1: You know, in hindsight, would you have gone for two?

37
00:02:09,693 --> 00:02:10,453
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have.

38
00:02:10,533 --> 00:02:13,252
Speaker 2: But I was surprised Ben Johnson didn't just the way

39
00:02:13,253 --> 00:02:16,733
Speaker 2: he coaches. There were what three fourth downs he tried

40
00:02:16,773 --> 00:02:19,333
Speaker 2: to convert, leaving points on the board, just the way

41
00:02:19,333 --> 00:02:21,373
Speaker 2: he gambles, and it played that whole way, and being

42
00:02:21,413 --> 00:02:24,573
Speaker 2: at home, you kind of had your magic there. I

43
00:02:24,573 --> 00:02:26,213
Speaker 2: thought he would just try to end the game. So

44
00:02:26,253 --> 00:02:28,093
Speaker 2: I was surprised that he didn't actually go first.

45
00:02:28,213 --> 00:02:31,373
Speaker 1: He probably didn't go for it because they are at home,

46
00:02:32,213 --> 00:02:35,853
Speaker 1: the Rams are reeling at that moment, and I mean

47
00:02:35,893 --> 00:02:38,493
Speaker 1: it kind of worked like his thought process kind of

48
00:02:38,533 --> 00:02:40,973
Speaker 1: ended up correct. I mean, the Rams didn't get a

49
00:02:41,013 --> 00:02:45,573
Speaker 1: first down, the Bears drove down, so I mean the

50
00:02:45,613 --> 00:02:49,213
Speaker 1: gamble was actually probably the correct play. But I thought

51
00:02:49,253 --> 00:02:51,173
Speaker 1: he was going to go and I wouldn't mind it

52
00:02:51,213 --> 00:02:55,333
Speaker 1: if he went. Maybe because Loveland was out, maybe he

53
00:02:55,453 --> 00:03:01,373
Speaker 1: was hesitant to do that. I don't know. So overtime starts.

54
00:03:02,133 --> 00:03:04,533
Speaker 1: What do we think about on the interception there? You

55
00:03:04,733 --> 00:03:08,693
Speaker 1: blame that? Immediately? I was like, that's a terrible throw, Kleab,

56
00:03:08,733 --> 00:03:11,373
Speaker 1: But then collins Worth seemed to suggest he blamed it

57
00:03:11,413 --> 00:03:13,853
Speaker 1: on DJ Moore. What do you think?

58
00:03:15,173 --> 00:03:17,813
Speaker 2: I agree, it looks in real time like a horrible interception,

59
00:03:17,853 --> 00:03:20,053
Speaker 2: which the regular TV view, and then they give us

60
00:03:20,093 --> 00:03:23,133
Speaker 2: that closer angle where you see Curl make the break

61
00:03:23,133 --> 00:03:25,893
Speaker 2: on the ball, and DJ Moore doesn't. I mean the Curl,

62
00:03:25,973 --> 00:03:29,933
Speaker 2: the Rams cornerback he played at receiver, saw William's eyes

63
00:03:29,973 --> 00:03:32,173
Speaker 2: and it made the play where more was just completely lost.

64
00:03:32,213 --> 00:03:34,373
Speaker 2: So I think it's more on the receiver. Even though

65
00:03:34,573 --> 00:03:37,093
Speaker 2: a third interception in that spot is bad for Williams

66
00:03:37,093 --> 00:03:38,253
Speaker 2: after he had the Lady Ruggs.

67
00:03:38,773 --> 00:03:41,253
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is tough. I mean I thought, you know,

68
00:03:41,293 --> 00:03:44,733
Speaker 1: the one interception he threw was was really bad. I

69
00:03:44,773 --> 00:03:46,373
Speaker 1: thought the other one he was trying. I mean, he

70
00:03:46,373 --> 00:03:47,973
Speaker 1: had to try to make a play. That one didn't

71
00:03:48,013 --> 00:03:53,173
Speaker 1: bother me as much, but you know, it stinks. I

72
00:03:53,213 --> 00:03:55,333
Speaker 1: think the Rams, and I still think the Rams are

73
00:03:55,333 --> 00:03:56,773
Speaker 1: going to win the Super Bowl. I think if you

74
00:03:56,893 --> 00:04:00,133
Speaker 1: sort of take my view that Hall of Fame quarterbacks

75
00:04:00,173 --> 00:04:01,973
Speaker 1: are who you take when you go to the to

76
00:04:02,013 --> 00:04:03,893
Speaker 1: when he gets the Super Bowl there, the only one

77
00:04:04,013 --> 00:04:07,373
Speaker 1: left right now is Stafford, although you know, Williams Nicks,

78
00:04:07,453 --> 00:04:09,253
Speaker 1: who knows, maybe they get there one day. They're not

79
00:04:09,293 --> 00:04:13,653
Speaker 1: there yet. But so I feel like I'm vindicated in

80
00:04:13,693 --> 00:04:15,773
Speaker 1: picking the Rams to win the Super Bowl, but I'm

81
00:04:15,813 --> 00:04:19,772
Speaker 1: still upset about the loss. It was an amazing year

82
00:04:20,213 --> 00:04:24,732
Speaker 1: and the people of Chicago, like, what have they gotten

83
00:04:24,772 --> 00:04:27,092
Speaker 1: to watch these last few weeks in home games? Like

84
00:04:27,412 --> 00:04:31,493
Speaker 1: these environments and these games have been insane. Yeah, and

85
00:04:31,652 --> 00:04:34,213
Speaker 1: just like last week, I was so jealous of everyone there.

86
00:04:34,412 --> 00:04:37,493
Speaker 1: Soldier Field looks to have been maybe the best environment

87
00:04:37,493 --> 00:04:39,813
Speaker 1: of football these last couple of weeks and to get

88
00:04:39,813 --> 00:04:42,892
Speaker 1: the heroics. I can't imagine the feeling you all had.

89
00:04:43,253 --> 00:04:46,293
Speaker 2: Well, he's just backpedaling because there's no way you're thinking

90
00:04:46,332 --> 00:04:47,973
Speaker 2: that's gonna work. I didn't think he was going to

91
00:04:48,013 --> 00:04:50,373
Speaker 2: get a throw off. It's like you can't even just

92
00:04:50,412 --> 00:04:52,333
Speaker 2: have a normal game. Was there a game all year

93
00:04:52,373 --> 00:04:54,813
Speaker 2: weve around and played football on a team one without

94
00:04:54,813 --> 00:04:55,652
Speaker 2: some chaos.

95
00:04:55,972 --> 00:04:58,693
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was his third fourth down on that one

96
00:04:58,853 --> 00:05:01,493
Speaker 1: as well, and then he got one in overtime as well.

97
00:05:01,772 --> 00:05:04,133
Speaker 1: The fourth I think he got two four one the

98
00:05:04,452 --> 00:05:09,892
Speaker 1: sneak on fourth down, you know, the only here's my

99
00:05:09,933 --> 00:05:14,292
Speaker 1: only complaint I do not like. I think we messed

100
00:05:14,412 --> 00:05:17,772
Speaker 1: up doing the run plays really towards the end of

101
00:05:17,772 --> 00:05:19,492
Speaker 1: the game. We should have just given the ball to Caleb.

102
00:05:19,613 --> 00:05:23,533
Speaker 1: You know when they got stopped the possession before the touchdown.

103
00:05:23,573 --> 00:05:25,373
Speaker 1: You know, they get first in goal and they run

104
00:05:25,412 --> 00:05:28,932
Speaker 1: it three straight times, end up not getting it both

105
00:05:28,972 --> 00:05:31,532
Speaker 1: times in overtime when they do the pitch, it's a

106
00:05:31,573 --> 00:05:34,052
Speaker 1: three yard loss. I think that really hurt him. On

107
00:05:34,053 --> 00:05:36,092
Speaker 1: that interception, he felt like he had to go farther

108
00:05:36,212 --> 00:05:39,212
Speaker 1: down the field. I just didn't. I mean, Ben Johnson's

109
00:05:39,253 --> 00:05:41,373
Speaker 1: been awesome, but I wish they'd just give the ball

110
00:05:41,412 --> 00:05:44,732
Speaker 1: to Caleb. I mean, like he is, he has so

111
00:05:44,972 --> 00:05:48,213
Speaker 1: far exceeded my expectation. I do think Bears fans can

112
00:05:48,253 --> 00:05:51,293
Speaker 1: take this loss a little better than say the Bills,

113
00:05:51,293 --> 00:05:54,013
Speaker 1: who will get too soon, because it does feel like

114
00:05:54,092 --> 00:05:56,772
Speaker 1: the start of something rather than the end of something.

115
00:05:57,652 --> 00:06:00,212
Speaker 2: Yeah, and even though he had to pick Caleb Williams

116
00:06:00,293 --> 00:06:02,573
Speaker 2: Layton Games, there's some witchcraft going on there. He's just

117
00:06:02,613 --> 00:06:04,212
Speaker 2: so fun to watch, So I agree with you they

118
00:06:04,212 --> 00:06:07,173
Speaker 2: should have gone him more. I did like DeAndre Swift

119
00:06:07,212 --> 00:06:10,053
Speaker 2: going for the jump uh there at.

120
00:06:09,933 --> 00:06:12,173
Speaker 1: The goal lite in the row. I think, yeah, he

121
00:06:12,212 --> 00:06:15,733
Speaker 1: had I think you got hit in the uh the

122
00:06:15,772 --> 00:06:19,092
Speaker 1: nether region that that had to have hurt.

123
00:06:19,253 --> 00:06:21,293
Speaker 2: But just showing you land on the line it didn't work.

124
00:06:21,373 --> 00:06:22,933
Speaker 2: But to try that in that moment, I mean they

125
00:06:22,933 --> 00:06:24,412
Speaker 2: were doing all they could to get in the end zone.

126
00:06:24,972 --> 00:06:28,773
Speaker 1: Yeah. Uh so I am bummed. I think the I

127
00:06:29,173 --> 00:06:32,892
Speaker 1: had already picked out my nails for for for the

128
00:06:33,092 --> 00:06:35,772
Speaker 1: for the Super Bowl, and now I also won't have

129
00:06:35,813 --> 00:06:37,573
Speaker 1: a reason to stay for the game. And I actually

130
00:06:37,652 --> 00:06:42,092
Speaker 1: kind of objectively think Ram Seahawks. I'm gonna say something

131
00:06:42,133 --> 00:06:44,493
Speaker 1: kind of controversial. I kind of hate the four teams

132
00:06:44,532 --> 00:06:48,292
Speaker 1: that are left. I just kind of I don't I

133
00:06:48,332 --> 00:06:53,373
Speaker 1: think you needed the Bears and or Josh Allen in.

134
00:06:54,013 --> 00:06:56,052
Speaker 1: I mean, I actually think you could make an argument that,

135
00:06:56,092 --> 00:06:59,212
Speaker 1: with the exception of the Patriots beating the Texans, the

136
00:06:59,332 --> 00:07:01,493
Speaker 1: NF the three teams that the NFL would have liked

137
00:07:01,532 --> 00:07:04,332
Speaker 1: to have won the other games did not win them, right,

138
00:07:04,373 --> 00:07:06,133
Speaker 1: I think that they would have rather had the four

139
00:07:06,373 --> 00:07:08,973
Speaker 1: nine ers, they would un or had the Rams, excuse me,

140
00:07:09,212 --> 00:07:11,612
Speaker 1: the Bears, and then they would rather have had the Bills,

141
00:07:11,653 --> 00:07:13,253
Speaker 1: and they didn't get any of them. So I do

142
00:07:13,373 --> 00:07:15,133
Speaker 1: kind of hate that that's what we're left with.

143
00:07:16,213 --> 00:07:18,653
Speaker 2: Uh, The Seahawks Rams gave us a couple of classics

144
00:07:18,653 --> 00:07:21,093
Speaker 2: in the regular season. I think maybe there are two

145
00:07:21,133 --> 00:07:23,693
Speaker 2: games were decided by three points you go to overtime,

146
00:07:23,933 --> 00:07:26,453
Speaker 2: so a third installment of that game's pretty exciting.

147
00:07:26,533 --> 00:07:28,973
Speaker 1: But I think we have a dud across the other way.

148
00:07:29,093 --> 00:07:31,453
Speaker 1: We've been done heaving Bears, but did them. I mean

149
00:07:31,493 --> 00:07:34,732
Speaker 1: that you know, if you if it's bow Nicks versus

150
00:07:34,773 --> 00:07:38,293
Speaker 1: Drake May, two second year quarterbacks, I mean, that's that's

151
00:07:38,293 --> 00:07:41,612
Speaker 1: a great story. It's a cool matchup. You get Jared Stidham.

152
00:07:41,653 --> 00:07:45,293
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I don't know now that they've

153
00:07:45,333 --> 00:07:47,093
Speaker 1: had well we'll get to that game, but they've had

154
00:07:47,213 --> 00:07:49,453
Speaker 1: I mean, they've given guys in this situation when in

155
00:07:49,493 --> 00:07:53,093
Speaker 1: the past we can't. Everybody's gonna want to talk about

156
00:07:53,093 --> 00:07:55,172
Speaker 1: the Bears, so you do have to talk about the Rams.

157
00:07:55,773 --> 00:07:58,773
Speaker 1: I actually think they I'm even more confident they win

158
00:07:58,813 --> 00:08:03,293
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl because it was freezing. I knew Matthew

159
00:08:03,293 --> 00:08:05,213
Speaker 1: Stafford didn't want to be there when he would put

160
00:08:05,253 --> 00:08:08,293
Speaker 1: his coat on der the timeouts like that, like you,

161
00:08:08,693 --> 00:08:13,492
Speaker 1: he wanted twenty seconds of warmth, and that said to

162
00:08:13,573 --> 00:08:15,213
Speaker 1: me he really didn't want to be there. So for

163
00:08:15,253 --> 00:08:17,533
Speaker 1: them to win in that environment, in that weather, I

164
00:08:17,573 --> 00:08:19,813
Speaker 1: actually think they have a really good shot now of

165
00:08:19,853 --> 00:08:22,293
Speaker 1: winning the whole thing. Yeah, to be that.

166
00:08:22,293 --> 00:08:24,973
Speaker 2: High powered offense and probably are our MVP here in

167
00:08:25,013 --> 00:08:27,613
Speaker 2: a couple of weeks. Their first two game in the playoffs,

168
00:08:27,653 --> 00:08:29,373
Speaker 2: they've had to eke out a couple of wins without

169
00:08:29,373 --> 00:08:31,653
Speaker 2: a great offense. The Bears defense played in pretty well.

170
00:08:31,693 --> 00:08:34,653
Speaker 2: Stafford didn't throw a touchdown, not a ton of yards.

171
00:08:34,653 --> 00:08:36,973
Speaker 2: It was below their typical average. So the Rams have

172
00:08:37,093 --> 00:08:39,493
Speaker 2: kind of not had their best game yet still got

173
00:08:39,533 --> 00:08:40,852
Speaker 2: on the road and to win, you got to think

174
00:08:41,133 --> 00:08:42,613
Speaker 2: they're to have one where they lighted up, and it

175
00:08:42,653 --> 00:08:45,293
Speaker 2: could be in Seattle, even though that's another tough environment.

176
00:08:45,293 --> 00:08:47,533
Speaker 2: They're going into one of the best defenses coming up

177
00:08:47,733 --> 00:08:48,293
Speaker 2: next Sunday.

178
00:08:48,533 --> 00:08:50,733
Speaker 1: And if I was a Rams fan, I would also

179
00:08:50,813 --> 00:08:54,573
Speaker 1: have a play call complaint when in their first possession

180
00:08:54,613 --> 00:08:56,693
Speaker 1: on third and one, when they did that pitch play,

181
00:08:57,013 --> 00:09:01,093
Speaker 1: same thing you've got Matthew Stafford, like, you know that play.

182
00:09:01,173 --> 00:09:05,253
Speaker 1: Had the Bears had hitting five times before he got

183
00:09:05,293 --> 00:09:07,773
Speaker 1: to the line on the scrimmage, I would have hated

184
00:09:07,813 --> 00:09:10,213
Speaker 1: that play gol too. You know, people forget with Sean McVay.

185
00:09:10,653 --> 00:09:13,853
Speaker 2: You know, he's considered like a genius play caller, which

186
00:09:13,893 --> 00:09:17,093
Speaker 2: I think is fair, but early in his career he

187
00:09:17,133 --> 00:09:20,813
Speaker 2: got criticized for this exact thing that in key situations

188
00:09:20,853 --> 00:09:22,613
Speaker 2: he would make weird play calls.

189
00:09:23,093 --> 00:09:25,453
Speaker 1: I kind of wonder if Liam and Ben Johnson, there's

190
00:09:25,493 --> 00:09:27,573
Speaker 1: just a little bit of when you're that sort of guy,

191
00:09:28,053 --> 00:09:29,973
Speaker 1: it takes you a little while to understand what to

192
00:09:30,013 --> 00:09:33,653
Speaker 1: do in these situations. Maybe sometimes you're too smart and

193
00:09:33,653 --> 00:09:35,333
Speaker 1: you're ever thinking it. Maybe you're gonna show off a

194
00:09:35,373 --> 00:09:35,773
Speaker 1: little bit.

195
00:09:36,293 --> 00:09:39,373
Speaker 2: You're right when you have Stafford and Puka Nakua and

196
00:09:39,533 --> 00:09:42,333
Speaker 2: Devanta Adams and all those weapons. As you saw, just

197
00:09:42,413 --> 00:09:44,533
Speaker 2: dump it off to Puka and he can go get

198
00:09:44,533 --> 00:09:46,813
Speaker 2: you some yards. There's nobody in the in the league

199
00:09:46,853 --> 00:09:48,613
Speaker 2: that can just take a short pass and get the

200
00:09:48,693 --> 00:09:50,733
Speaker 2: yards after catch like him. So they should have stuck

201
00:09:50,733 --> 00:09:52,613
Speaker 2: to that game plan even though they still worked out

202
00:09:52,613 --> 00:09:53,973
Speaker 2: of the in forma. That's what they didn't over time

203
00:09:54,013 --> 00:09:54,973
Speaker 2: to set up that field goal.

204
00:09:55,173 --> 00:09:57,413
Speaker 3: And we got the sideline reporter that said some of

205
00:09:57,413 --> 00:10:00,573
Speaker 3: the Rams players put cayenne pepper in their socks to

206
00:10:00,653 --> 00:10:03,133
Speaker 3: stay warm and promote blood love.

207
00:10:04,213 --> 00:10:04,973
Speaker 1: Did they say that?

208
00:10:05,013 --> 00:10:07,493
Speaker 3: I didn't hear that the start of the game cayenne

209
00:10:07,493 --> 00:10:09,893
Speaker 3: pepper in our socks?

210
00:10:09,533 --> 00:10:12,533
Speaker 1: Like, do you mean like an actual pepper or did

211
00:10:12,573 --> 00:10:14,613
Speaker 1: they put because that was going to be uncomfortable?

212
00:10:14,653 --> 00:10:17,453
Speaker 3: It brings heat and keeps the blood flowing. According to

213
00:10:17,493 --> 00:10:18,733
Speaker 3: the sideline reporter, Well, like.

214
00:10:18,693 --> 00:10:21,173
Speaker 2: They didn't put actual peppers in the like, what did

215
00:10:21,173 --> 00:10:21,653
Speaker 2: they put?

216
00:10:21,853 --> 00:10:25,973
Speaker 4: I guess I'm guessing this seasoning powder. So they had

217
00:10:26,053 --> 00:10:30,173
Speaker 4: kayenne pepper seasoning in their socks. Yes, and that that works.

218
00:10:30,613 --> 00:10:34,733
Speaker 4: That sounds completely made up. I mean I saw the

219
00:10:34,773 --> 00:10:37,693
Speaker 4: Bears had hot chocolate and chicken broth on their sideline,

220
00:10:38,013 --> 00:10:41,173
Speaker 4: so we had hot broth, we had broth and peers.

221
00:10:41,253 --> 00:10:42,093
Speaker 4: It makes sense to me.

222
00:10:42,253 --> 00:10:45,693
Speaker 1: I can see how hot liquid would help in that circumstance.

223
00:10:45,973 --> 00:10:52,893
Speaker 5: I do not see how this can't be true. We've

224
00:10:52,933 --> 00:10:55,813
Speaker 5: got to test this, Billy. I think you're gonna have

225
00:10:55,893 --> 00:10:57,413
Speaker 5: to for our midweek show.

226
00:10:57,533 --> 00:10:59,773
Speaker 1: Gonna have to put kai and pepper in your socks

227
00:11:00,093 --> 00:11:01,933
Speaker 1: and see if it makes you feel warmer.

228
00:11:02,413 --> 00:11:05,013
Speaker 6: From the report of Melissa Stark of NBC.

229
00:11:05,213 --> 00:11:06,853
Speaker 3: I mean, I can try it, but yeah, it's the

230
00:11:06,893 --> 00:11:08,693
Speaker 3: actual seasoning put into the socks.

231
00:11:09,893 --> 00:11:10,933
Speaker 1: I just I can't.

232
00:11:10,973 --> 00:11:13,093
Speaker 2: That can't be I mean, I believe it's true that

233
00:11:13,173 --> 00:11:15,413
Speaker 2: she said it, and I'll even believe that it's true

234
00:11:15,413 --> 00:11:17,852
Speaker 2: that they did it, but I also don't think it

235
00:11:17,893 --> 00:11:18,453
Speaker 2: would work.

236
00:11:19,573 --> 00:11:24,533
Speaker 1: That's that can't that cannot be true. All right, Nevertheless,

237
00:11:25,653 --> 00:11:27,813
Speaker 1: they move on to the next round. Can I give

238
00:11:27,853 --> 00:11:30,853
Speaker 1: you one thing I was disappointed into the game. Yes,

239
00:11:31,973 --> 00:11:34,973
Speaker 1: was disappointing Chris Collins work in the Caleb Williams play.

240
00:11:35,013 --> 00:11:38,333
Speaker 1: He was oddly muted. I thought Tarico's call was great,

241
00:11:38,573 --> 00:11:41,013
Speaker 1: but then he was like, Mike, that was a great throw.

242
00:11:41,213 --> 00:11:43,293
Speaker 1: That might have been the greatest throw in the history

243
00:11:43,293 --> 00:11:46,973
Speaker 1: of football? Where was his us? And like, ohs, like

244
00:11:47,053 --> 00:11:49,853
Speaker 1: he shouldn't have had a record one of those. And

245
00:11:49,933 --> 00:11:52,413
Speaker 1: I thought he was too way too calm for the moment.

246
00:11:53,373 --> 00:11:55,653
Speaker 2: Yeah, especially one of the last games of the year

247
00:11:55,693 --> 00:11:58,613
Speaker 2: to come down like that. Ouz and Oz all year

248
00:11:59,093 --> 00:12:01,093
Speaker 2: to that moment. He didn't have it for us.

249
00:12:01,333 --> 00:12:01,533
Speaker 7: Yeah.

250
00:12:01,573 --> 00:12:04,773
Speaker 2: He gave more to JJ McCarthy in week two than

251
00:12:04,813 --> 00:12:05,733
Speaker 2: I got right here.

252
00:12:05,933 --> 00:12:09,213
Speaker 1: I think he was so much in shock that he

253
00:12:09,213 --> 00:12:13,373
Speaker 1: didn't give his usual, his usual moaning. I was very,

254
00:12:13,453 --> 00:12:18,453
Speaker 1: very disappointed in his life. Oh he's all right. I

255
00:12:18,573 --> 00:12:19,093
Speaker 1: like the uh.

256
00:12:19,453 --> 00:12:21,013
Speaker 2: I don't know if you saw the camera angle that

257
00:12:21,053 --> 00:12:24,093
Speaker 2: the reporter had from the back pile line behind yes

258
00:12:24,173 --> 00:12:24,813
Speaker 2: Cole commit.

259
00:12:25,013 --> 00:12:26,732
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I see. I wish so bad it

260
00:12:26,773 --> 00:12:29,053
Speaker 1: would have worked out. It would have been so legendary

261
00:12:29,093 --> 00:12:32,693
Speaker 1: if they win like that video would have been. And

262
00:12:32,773 --> 00:12:35,213
Speaker 1: just on another note, just on a personal level, this

263
00:12:35,253 --> 00:12:36,893
Speaker 1: had a chance to be I mean, we talked about

264
00:12:36,973 --> 00:12:39,973
Speaker 1: last weekend that that was maybe like my best sports

265
00:12:40,013 --> 00:12:43,853
Speaker 1: weekend in a while because the Bears, the Kentucky and

266
00:12:43,893 --> 00:12:46,053
Speaker 1: the and the Carolina Hurricanes at all won during the

267
00:12:46,053 --> 00:12:49,573
Speaker 1: same time. This would have been even better Kentucky beat

268
00:12:49,613 --> 00:12:53,253
Speaker 1: Tennessee in a miracle comeback my Carolina Hurricanes. I went

269
00:12:53,293 --> 00:12:55,893
Speaker 1: to the game last night and got to watch them

270
00:12:55,933 --> 00:12:58,573
Speaker 1: win in person with my favorite player, the guy who's

271
00:12:58,693 --> 00:13:01,413
Speaker 1: jersey I had on got a hat trick with me

272
00:13:01,653 --> 00:13:05,852
Speaker 1: sitting there and Semeshnikov. And then if you get this,

273
00:13:06,573 --> 00:13:08,813
Speaker 1: I would have just basically said maybe I should stop

274
00:13:08,853 --> 00:13:11,573
Speaker 1: watching sports at this point. And I guess that was

275
00:13:11,613 --> 00:13:14,253
Speaker 1: the gods saying, you can't get all that you want,

276
00:13:14,333 --> 00:13:16,493
Speaker 1: you can't have it all, And I guess that's what happened,

277
00:13:17,173 --> 00:13:19,533
Speaker 1: robbed of an all time good weekend. But want to

278
00:13:19,653 --> 00:13:21,213
Speaker 1: run for your Bears. You might not want to hear

279
00:13:21,253 --> 00:13:23,573
Speaker 1: it right now, but that was a wild season for them.

280
00:13:23,893 --> 00:13:26,733
Speaker 2: They got the youth, new head coach, nothing but up

281
00:13:26,733 --> 00:13:28,933
Speaker 2: for them, and you'll get there eventually, they turned out.

282
00:13:43,773 --> 00:13:46,573
Speaker 1: That's the thing. The Bears have had a lot of heartbreaks,

283
00:13:46,613 --> 00:13:49,173
Speaker 1: but this one I think will long term hurt less

284
00:13:49,613 --> 00:13:51,813
Speaker 1: because a nobody thought we were gonna win the Super

285
00:13:51,853 --> 00:13:55,013
Speaker 1: Bowl and b it looks like you're building for the future.

286
00:13:55,053 --> 00:13:58,773
Speaker 1: Now switch that with the Buffalo Bins who lose to

287
00:13:58,773 --> 00:14:01,453
Speaker 1: the Broncos, where I think it's the opposite feeling. I

288
00:14:01,493 --> 00:14:04,413
Speaker 1: think there. Even though Josh Allen's gonna have many years

289
00:14:04,413 --> 00:14:07,613
Speaker 1: of being good, there is a sense when you lose

290
00:14:07,653 --> 00:14:11,533
Speaker 1: this game, like you just blew your opportunity. This was

291
00:14:11,613 --> 00:14:15,492
Speaker 1: the moment, this was the time for you to actually

292
00:14:16,333 --> 00:14:19,733
Speaker 1: win a Super Bowl, and then they don't. Josh Allen

293
00:14:20,373 --> 00:14:22,973
Speaker 1: was great most of the game, but misses a couple

294
00:14:23,093 --> 00:14:25,893
Speaker 1: throws at the end, not able to get it. He's

295
00:14:26,053 --> 00:14:30,933
Speaker 1: crying after the game, says he blamed himself. I actually

296
00:14:30,933 --> 00:14:33,093
Speaker 1: thought it was kind of emotional to watching. What did

297
00:14:33,093 --> 00:14:33,813
Speaker 1: you think about it?

298
00:14:35,253 --> 00:14:37,653
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean he did play pretty bad. It is

299
00:14:37,733 --> 00:14:39,933
Speaker 2: on him, but it did hurt to see him cry

300
00:14:40,013 --> 00:14:43,053
Speaker 2: like that, knowing he dropped the ball, as we've said

301
00:14:43,053 --> 00:14:45,293
Speaker 2: many times, with this path in front of him, No Mahomes,

302
00:14:45,293 --> 00:14:47,413
Speaker 2: no Lamar, no Burrow. You just got to go beat

303
00:14:47,413 --> 00:14:50,453
Speaker 2: Trevor Lawrence bow Nicks like the path was there. And

304
00:14:50,493 --> 00:14:52,893
Speaker 2: it's not just the interceptions. He had some bad fumbles

305
00:14:52,893 --> 00:14:56,333
Speaker 2: that aren't like him, especially right before the half Denver

306
00:14:56,533 --> 00:14:58,813
Speaker 2: just scored. There's only like thirty seconds left and he's

307
00:14:58,813 --> 00:15:01,293
Speaker 2: scrambling and kind of slings the ball. Denver ends up

308
00:15:01,293 --> 00:15:05,253
Speaker 2: getting another score right about before halftime. Just uncharacteristic uncharacteristic

309
00:15:05,373 --> 00:15:07,373
Speaker 2: of him to have a five turnovers in a game

310
00:15:07,413 --> 00:15:09,173
Speaker 2: like that, even against the good defense.

311
00:15:09,173 --> 00:15:10,653
Speaker 1: He should have been much better on that stage. Is

312
00:15:10,653 --> 00:15:12,733
Speaker 1: that what he ended up with was five? It was

313
00:15:12,773 --> 00:15:14,973
Speaker 1: a lot. I think that was c J. Stroud. I

314
00:15:15,013 --> 00:15:16,213
Speaker 1: think he ended up well.

315
00:15:16,213 --> 00:15:19,253
Speaker 2: He had two fumbles and at least two interceptions, maybe

316
00:15:19,293 --> 00:15:22,653
Speaker 2: four turnovers one okay, And even with.

317
00:15:22,533 --> 00:15:26,373
Speaker 1: All that, he had that pass at the end. If

318
00:15:26,373 --> 00:15:28,813
Speaker 1: he hits the receiver in the hands, that's a touchdown. Well,

319
00:15:28,853 --> 00:15:30,573
Speaker 1: you know when they got the field goal that ended

320
00:15:30,653 --> 00:15:34,013
Speaker 1: up sending it to overtime. If he hits him in

321
00:15:34,053 --> 00:15:37,773
Speaker 1: the hands, that's bulgame and he just overthrows him, And

322
00:15:37,813 --> 00:15:39,693
Speaker 1: I think that'll be the one that haunts him, like

323
00:15:39,733 --> 00:15:42,773
Speaker 1: what happened after? You know, it is what it is.

324
00:15:43,013 --> 00:15:45,213
Speaker 1: But he had him and it was on his hands

325
00:15:45,213 --> 00:15:47,853
Speaker 1: and that's the game winner right there, and he misses it.

326
00:15:48,133 --> 00:15:49,773
Speaker 1: I think that will be the one that he looks

327
00:15:49,853 --> 00:15:54,093
Speaker 1: back on. Did you find yourself like, so, did you

328
00:15:54,133 --> 00:15:56,533
Speaker 1: find yourself feeling bad for him? I mean, I'm done?

329
00:15:56,613 --> 00:15:59,813
Speaker 2: Did Which is weird because he's married the Haley Stanfield

330
00:16:00,013 --> 00:16:03,213
Speaker 2: and he's like I should hate the guy, but like

331
00:16:03,813 --> 00:16:04,293
Speaker 2: I kind.

332
00:16:04,133 --> 00:16:05,693
Speaker 1: Of felt sorry for him in that moment.

333
00:16:06,253 --> 00:16:09,533
Speaker 2: He's kind of in your Tom Brady category where you

334
00:16:09,573 --> 00:16:11,093
Speaker 2: got too much good for it going for you, so

335
00:16:11,133 --> 00:16:12,773
Speaker 2: I'm gonna hate thank you too much. The one bad

336
00:16:12,773 --> 00:16:14,253
Speaker 2: thing for him is he has to live in no

337
00:16:14,293 --> 00:16:15,813
Speaker 2: offense in Buffalo, but he has to.

338
00:16:15,933 --> 00:16:18,293
Speaker 1: But but they've got great fans at least, right so

339
00:16:18,293 --> 00:16:21,773
Speaker 1: he's in a place where people care. But I did

340
00:16:21,813 --> 00:16:22,853
Speaker 1: feel sorry for him.

341
00:16:23,413 --> 00:16:25,493
Speaker 2: I did too. He just seems like a likable guy.

342
00:16:25,893 --> 00:16:28,293
Speaker 2: I've wanted him to get one for a while. No

343
00:16:28,373 --> 00:16:30,973
Speaker 2: offense to bow Nicks and the Broncos. They'll have their chances.

344
00:16:31,293 --> 00:16:33,173
Speaker 2: The time starting to tick on Alan. I know he's

345
00:16:33,213 --> 00:16:34,933
Speaker 2: got a lot left, but just one of the way

346
00:16:34,933 --> 00:16:36,773
Speaker 2: he plays this was dear to go get it.

347
00:16:36,813 --> 00:16:37,933
Speaker 1: So I did feel bad for him.

348
00:16:37,933 --> 00:16:41,213
Speaker 2: Even his teammate, the big defensive tackles, started crying at

349
00:16:41,253 --> 00:16:43,453
Speaker 2: his interview when he saw that Alan took I like that.

350
00:16:43,613 --> 00:16:45,613
Speaker 1: I like the way that got took up for him.

351
00:16:45,893 --> 00:16:47,653
Speaker 1: I thought that was really good. Like like so, I

352
00:16:47,653 --> 00:16:49,733
Speaker 1: guess one of the reporters that said Josh says it's

353
00:16:49,733 --> 00:16:53,093
Speaker 1: his fault and he didn't even hear Josh Allen talk,

354
00:16:53,493 --> 00:16:55,933
Speaker 1: and that was his reaction. Like, that's what I need

355
00:16:56,893 --> 00:17:01,973
Speaker 1: if Cover zero ends up like you know, not ever

356
00:17:02,133 --> 00:17:06,413
Speaker 1: winning the podcast award for Best Podcast the Golden Globe.

357
00:17:06,733 --> 00:17:11,133
Speaker 1: I need Billy crying like that defensive tackle taking up

358
00:17:11,133 --> 00:17:13,253
Speaker 1: for me when I said, you know, I didn't. I

359
00:17:13,373 --> 00:17:15,453
Speaker 1: just wasn't able to do it, and Billy be like, no,

360
00:17:15,533 --> 00:17:18,413
Speaker 1: it's not on you. It's like I need that from you. Billy.

361
00:17:18,453 --> 00:17:21,493
Speaker 2: That amount of loyalty I saw from the defensive.

362
00:17:21,013 --> 00:17:24,573
Speaker 3: Tackle, Yeah, you could see some emotions. If my integrity

363
00:17:24,613 --> 00:17:26,973
Speaker 3: has continued to be tested on the Touchdown Parlay game,

364
00:17:27,013 --> 00:17:28,733
Speaker 3: we've got to get that right later today.

365
00:17:29,253 --> 00:17:31,013
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it was good for me to get Kyen

366
00:17:31,053 --> 00:17:36,213
Speaker 2: Williams again. That was twice. Billy was a hero for

367
00:17:36,293 --> 00:17:38,013
Speaker 2: me on this game. We were at an event called

368
00:17:38,013 --> 00:17:40,613
Speaker 2: Bourbons and Bubbles. I even took a picture. Billy had

369
00:17:40,613 --> 00:17:42,413
Speaker 2: the game on his phone for all of us, So

370
00:17:42,493 --> 00:17:45,373
Speaker 2: even though we were business with some work stuff, we

371
00:17:45,373 --> 00:17:47,813
Speaker 2: were locked into the game. I was leaning over billy

372
00:17:47,893 --> 00:17:50,812
Speaker 2: shoulder watching his phone for fourth quarter and overtime, so

373
00:17:50,853 --> 00:17:54,573
Speaker 2: he was clutched with the streaming Saturday Night, which was

374
00:17:54,653 --> 00:17:55,813
Speaker 2: better Bourbon or bubbles.

375
00:17:56,973 --> 00:18:00,173
Speaker 1: In Bourbon and Bubbles, I didn't partake in any of

376
00:18:00,173 --> 00:18:02,093
Speaker 1: the bubbles. But the bourbon was good and the football

377
00:18:02,173 --> 00:18:03,853
Speaker 1: was good, so we had a good time. But you

378
00:18:03,893 --> 00:18:06,413
Speaker 1: know we will see r coast Ryan. That's the have

379
00:18:06,453 --> 00:18:08,013
Speaker 1: ever seen him dressed up. I don't know where he

380
00:18:08,093 --> 00:18:12,093
Speaker 1: got that cream sweater, but I've not seen him to

381
00:18:12,133 --> 00:18:15,133
Speaker 1: wear anything like that in my life. Right, So let's

382
00:18:15,253 --> 00:18:17,933
Speaker 1: talk about the Broncos. In Bill's game, you mentioned the turnovers.

383
00:18:17,973 --> 00:18:21,453
Speaker 1: That's obviously going to be the thing that people talk about.

384
00:18:21,693 --> 00:18:24,933
Speaker 1: What about the bow knicks injury? I mean, you don't

385
00:18:24,973 --> 00:18:27,693
Speaker 1: even know he plays one more play after he gets hurt.

386
00:18:27,733 --> 00:18:30,693
Speaker 1: He even does the postgame interview and doesn't even act

387
00:18:30,733 --> 00:18:33,173
Speaker 1: like he's in pain. Am I crazy to say? How

388
00:18:33,253 --> 00:18:34,693
Speaker 1: much pain could it be? And if he did the

389
00:18:34,733 --> 00:18:37,293
Speaker 1: interview and he didn't even mention it.

390
00:18:37,533 --> 00:18:40,493
Speaker 2: But he's out now, and you get this situation where

391
00:18:40,533 --> 00:18:43,693
Speaker 2: Jared Stidham has a chance to be like Jeff Hostetler,

392
00:18:43,813 --> 00:18:49,173
Speaker 2: Doug Williams, Nick Foles, like in the backup quarterback pantheon.

393
00:18:49,733 --> 00:18:51,173
Speaker 1: Do you think he'll be able to do it?

394
00:18:52,813 --> 00:18:55,052
Speaker 2: I don't, you know, I don't want to write off Denver,

395
00:18:55,173 --> 00:18:57,853
Speaker 2: but this just stinks. Having said him go in, I

396
00:18:57,893 --> 00:19:00,533
Speaker 2: saw he's the only backup quarterback who hadn't played all year,

397
00:19:00,533 --> 00:19:03,333
Speaker 2: He hadn't thrown a pass. I mean he really didn't

398
00:19:03,493 --> 00:19:07,293
Speaker 2: realize that. Why so completely wrong team with real chances

399
00:19:07,333 --> 00:19:09,773
Speaker 2: here in home field, great defense, and I hate we

400
00:19:09,813 --> 00:19:11,973
Speaker 2: have to go to a backup quarterback with no experience.

401
00:19:12,293 --> 00:19:15,613
Speaker 2: They signed Ben Denucci. I thought was funny. Yesterday he

402
00:19:15,773 --> 00:19:19,933
Speaker 2: was on a set discussing the injury I believe, on CBS,

403
00:19:20,253 --> 00:19:22,093
Speaker 2: and then that night gets the call. So he goes

404
00:19:22,093 --> 00:19:24,853
Speaker 2: from talking about the bo Knicks injury on TV to

405
00:19:24,853 --> 00:19:27,213
Speaker 2: getting signed to be a back up to sign somebody.

406
00:19:27,253 --> 00:19:29,853
Speaker 1: I didn't realize they were still allowed to do that. Yeah,

407
00:19:29,853 --> 00:19:31,773
Speaker 1: it's a practice squad. I guess he had been there before.

408
00:19:31,773 --> 00:19:33,333
Speaker 2: I don't know the exact role, but he went from

409
00:19:33,373 --> 00:19:36,373
Speaker 2: being on TV talking about Bonix's ankle to going to

410
00:19:36,373 --> 00:19:37,973
Speaker 2: play for Denver just a few hours later.

411
00:19:38,013 --> 00:19:39,613
Speaker 1: All right, so let me let me try to be

412
00:19:39,653 --> 00:19:43,373
Speaker 1: an optimist for the broncos. If you get to he

413
00:19:43,493 --> 00:19:46,253
Speaker 1: gets a week to get ready. Well, let me ask

414
00:19:46,253 --> 00:19:47,893
Speaker 1: you this, would you rather have the week to get

415
00:19:47,933 --> 00:19:51,292
Speaker 1: ready or have Bonicks get hurt on the first play

416
00:19:51,333 --> 00:19:52,653
Speaker 1: and then you come in and you don't have the

417
00:19:52,693 --> 00:19:55,013
Speaker 1: time to think about it like, which one would you

418
00:19:55,093 --> 00:19:55,493
Speaker 1: rather have?

419
00:19:56,173 --> 00:19:59,693
Speaker 2: Definitely, at least give me a week of knowing I'm

420
00:19:59,693 --> 00:20:02,653
Speaker 2: getting the start, I'm practicing, and I'm putting my head

421
00:20:02,653 --> 00:20:04,493
Speaker 2: on the pillow at night knowing the game's coming up

422
00:20:04,573 --> 00:20:06,493
Speaker 2: much better than sitting there cold and it up and

423
00:20:06,493 --> 00:20:08,933
Speaker 2: you're having to run in. So you know, the circumstances

424
00:20:08,973 --> 00:20:11,173
Speaker 2: steak for bo Nicks. But if you're going to be Sidham,

425
00:20:11,173 --> 00:20:12,253
Speaker 2: it's the best way to work out.

426
00:20:12,373 --> 00:20:14,213
Speaker 8: It's gonna be weird that you you just said he

427
00:20:14,253 --> 00:20:20,493
Speaker 8: hasn't played ah play like that is. That is brutal

428
00:20:20,613 --> 00:20:23,133
Speaker 8: man to then and then you get a Patriots defense

429
00:20:23,453 --> 00:20:25,773
Speaker 8: that's really that's that. You know, it's been up and

430
00:20:25,813 --> 00:20:27,933
Speaker 8: down but has had some really good moments.

431
00:20:28,373 --> 00:20:31,333
Speaker 1: That is a tough, tough situation playing against Drake May

432
00:20:31,333 --> 00:20:33,773
Speaker 1: who almost, uh probably the runner up for the m

433
00:20:33,853 --> 00:20:38,773
Speaker 1: v P. You know, Jared Stidham is from Corbin, Kentucky,

434
00:20:38,853 --> 00:20:40,092
Speaker 1: So he's from your region.

435
00:20:41,013 --> 00:20:44,293
Speaker 2: That's right. I forgot about that. He is in eastern Kentucky.

436
00:20:44,293 --> 00:20:47,213
Speaker 2: Where did he play in college? He went to Baylor

437
00:20:47,253 --> 00:20:49,893
Speaker 2: in Auburn. He moved to I want to say Texas

438
00:20:49,933 --> 00:20:52,613
Speaker 2: for for high school. But he grew up and uh.

439
00:20:52,653 --> 00:20:54,653
Speaker 2: And you're part of the state over there.

440
00:20:54,653 --> 00:20:59,773
Speaker 9: Now listening across the country. Corby, Kentucky is uh uh.

441
00:21:00,213 --> 00:21:04,213
Speaker 9: It's a town, good people in Corbin, Kentucky, not known

442
00:21:04,333 --> 00:21:08,973
Speaker 9: for their football town right next to where the first

443
00:21:09,053 --> 00:21:13,733
Speaker 9: Kentucky Fried Chicken was down the road in London, but

444
00:21:14,093 --> 00:21:17,453
Speaker 9: not used to having guys in the AFC Championship. So

445
00:21:18,573 --> 00:21:20,693
Speaker 9: Corbyn will have to mount up and get ready.

446
00:21:21,173 --> 00:21:25,773
Speaker 1: I actually think though, the Broncos, as long as he

447
00:21:25,853 --> 00:21:28,933
Speaker 1: isn't terrible, have a chance. And I'll also say this,

448
00:21:29,293 --> 00:21:31,532
Speaker 1: the Broncos have had a pretty good running game this

449
00:21:31,613 --> 00:21:34,653
Speaker 1: year and they completely abandoned it in that game. They

450
00:21:34,693 --> 00:21:37,133
Speaker 1: did not run the ball at all. I think they

451
00:21:37,133 --> 00:21:39,453
Speaker 1: actually got away from what they should have been doing.

452
00:21:40,053 --> 00:21:43,613
Speaker 1: And this will make them use their running game and

453
00:21:43,653 --> 00:21:46,253
Speaker 1: maybe it gets them to where they play, you know,

454
00:21:46,813 --> 00:21:47,933
Speaker 1: to one of their strengths.

455
00:21:49,373 --> 00:21:51,493
Speaker 2: That and they have the best defense in the NFL,

456
00:21:52,133 --> 00:21:56,573
Speaker 2: so you can run, play defense, get stops and haydevn asked,

457
00:21:56,613 --> 00:21:58,813
Speaker 2: you got to be a game manager in the NFC Championship,

458
00:21:58,813 --> 00:22:00,933
Speaker 2: but just don't go lose it. Jared Sidham, I'm looking

459
00:22:01,013 --> 00:22:03,653
Speaker 2: up his stats right now. He actually has a attempted

460
00:22:03,653 --> 00:22:06,693
Speaker 2: to pass in two seasons. He didn't attempt to last

461
00:22:06,733 --> 00:22:09,933
Speaker 2: year either, so he's coming in very cold. His last

462
00:22:09,973 --> 00:22:11,413
Speaker 2: pass was in twenty twenty three.

463
00:22:11,853 --> 00:22:15,373
Speaker 3: Yeah, only four starts in seven seasons. That's the fewest

464
00:22:15,413 --> 00:22:18,013
Speaker 3: ever for a quarterback in a conference championship game.

465
00:22:18,693 --> 00:22:22,733
Speaker 2: Four starts in seven seasons, but an opportunity. Think, if

466
00:22:22,733 --> 00:22:25,413
Speaker 2: you're him, you're just along for the ride, taking pictures,

467
00:22:25,693 --> 00:22:28,413
Speaker 2: got your family there. Next thing you know, you are

468
00:22:28,453 --> 00:22:29,493
Speaker 2: two wins away.

469
00:22:29,293 --> 00:22:31,373
Speaker 1: From being a super Bowl champion. Starter. I got to

470
00:22:31,453 --> 00:22:33,813
Speaker 1: go back to that. You mean, this man has collected

471
00:22:33,853 --> 00:22:38,853
Speaker 1: a paycheck for seven years and has only had to

472
00:22:38,853 --> 00:22:40,133
Speaker 1: play in four games.

473
00:22:40,413 --> 00:22:41,933
Speaker 6: Four starts in twenty games.

474
00:22:43,173 --> 00:22:47,053
Speaker 2: But here's so he has a great gig essentially, and

475
00:22:47,053 --> 00:22:49,733
Speaker 2: this has a chance to ruin it because if he

476
00:22:49,813 --> 00:22:55,053
Speaker 2: plays terribly, he's gonna be like known forever for playing terrible,

477
00:22:55,613 --> 00:22:57,493
Speaker 2: and that's not what you want.

478
00:22:57,653 --> 00:22:59,973
Speaker 10: Like this is actually the I think this is the

479
00:23:00,013 --> 00:23:02,533
Speaker 10: worst thing that could have happened to him. He had

480
00:23:02,573 --> 00:23:07,293
Speaker 10: gone seven years and only played four games. He literally

481
00:23:07,733 --> 00:23:11,813
Speaker 10: had one of the greatest jobs in America, and he's

482
00:23:11,893 --> 00:23:14,853
Speaker 10: like been in the back hoping, nobody seizing, Like he

483
00:23:14,933 --> 00:23:18,373
Speaker 10: gets all the free snacks after it's over and now

484
00:23:18,813 --> 00:23:20,453
Speaker 10: they're like, hey, you get to play, and he's like,

485
00:23:20,453 --> 00:23:23,573
Speaker 10: oh good, Oh it's the AFC Championship and the whole

486
00:23:23,573 --> 00:23:25,453
Speaker 10: world is going to watch it. And if you're bad,

487
00:23:25,533 --> 00:23:27,413
Speaker 10: do you think anyone's going to pay you to sit

488
00:23:27,453 --> 00:23:28,613
Speaker 10: in the back of the room anymore?

489
00:23:28,613 --> 00:23:29,493
Speaker 1: Like this is awful.

490
00:23:30,293 --> 00:23:33,573
Speaker 2: His cover's blown. He's just been enjoying being the backup quarterback,

491
00:23:34,093 --> 00:23:35,733
Speaker 2: being a part of the team. It's like if you

492
00:23:35,773 --> 00:23:38,293
Speaker 2: work in office and you've been there forever, you're just

493
00:23:38,333 --> 00:23:40,973
Speaker 2: going to the motions, yeah, replying to emails, and then they

494
00:23:41,013 --> 00:23:42,213
Speaker 2: come up to you and promote you. You're like, I

495
00:23:42,213 --> 00:23:45,093
Speaker 2: don't want to be promoted. I just want to be

496
00:23:45,173 --> 00:23:47,933
Speaker 2: right here, just replying to emails and going home at

497
00:23:47,973 --> 00:23:48,413
Speaker 2: the end of the day.

498
00:23:48,413 --> 00:23:49,733
Speaker 1: I don't need more responsibility.

499
00:23:50,013 --> 00:23:50,413
Speaker 2: You don't.

500
00:23:51,173 --> 00:23:54,933
Speaker 1: Some people don't want a promotion like somebody. You don't

501
00:23:54,933 --> 00:23:57,453
Speaker 1: want to have that moment where you can be exposed

502
00:23:57,493 --> 00:24:00,092
Speaker 1: to the world. Actually, that's kind of how I was

503
00:24:00,373 --> 00:24:02,213
Speaker 1: when they asked me to do the play by play.

504
00:24:02,613 --> 00:24:05,893
Speaker 1: You know, I've been saying for years, hey, will you

505
00:24:05,893 --> 00:24:08,493
Speaker 1: get give me more responsibility in ESPN, And then they

506
00:24:08,533 --> 00:24:10,413
Speaker 1: gave me it, and I was like wait a minute,

507
00:24:10,693 --> 00:24:13,372
Speaker 1: I don't want this now, please take this away. I

508
00:24:13,453 --> 00:24:17,413
Speaker 1: was doing fine, it's exactly like this.

509
00:24:17,653 --> 00:24:19,253
Speaker 2: Instead, it was like, I just want to sit on

510
00:24:19,293 --> 00:24:23,333
Speaker 2: the bench and throw soft tosses to the receivers to

511
00:24:23,373 --> 00:24:24,693
Speaker 2: warm up. I don't want to go play.

512
00:24:24,853 --> 00:24:27,773
Speaker 1: Well, he's going to have to. And then it's for

513
00:24:27,933 --> 00:24:32,013
Speaker 1: Josh Allen. Go on record. We will write it on

514
00:24:32,053 --> 00:24:34,733
Speaker 1: the whiteboard and we will revisit it in a decade.

515
00:24:35,053 --> 00:24:37,773
Speaker 1: Will he ever win a Super Bowl? Or was this

516
00:24:37,893 --> 00:24:42,213
Speaker 1: the chance? This was the chance? I'm afraid yeah, I.

517
00:24:42,133 --> 00:24:44,453
Speaker 2: Mean too, because I mean, just look at the AfD

518
00:24:45,093 --> 00:24:46,613
Speaker 2: like you're gonna have.

519
00:24:46,813 --> 00:24:49,293
Speaker 1: I just want you to think about the AFC. Perman obviously,

520
00:24:49,293 --> 00:24:54,133
Speaker 1: mahomes Lamar Burrow. You now also have Bo Nixon, Drake

521
00:24:54,213 --> 00:24:58,853
Speaker 1: may Right, Francisco Mendoza is going to be entering it

522
00:24:58,933 --> 00:25:02,493
Speaker 1: as well. You've got Trevor Lawrence, who has done what

523
00:25:02,613 --> 00:25:06,813
Speaker 1: he's done in Jacksonville. I mean the amount technis what

524
00:25:08,213 --> 00:25:08,413
Speaker 1: I mean.

525
00:25:08,453 --> 00:25:10,733
Speaker 2: The Texans are a star quarterback, but that defense you're

526
00:25:10,733 --> 00:25:12,173
Speaker 2: gonna have to get to CJ.

527
00:25:12,253 --> 00:25:14,613
Speaker 1: Stratd. I don't know. I may not be able to

528
00:25:14,613 --> 00:25:17,493
Speaker 1: put him on any lists anymore, but I mean that

529
00:25:17,773 --> 00:25:20,853
Speaker 1: you're gonna have at least eight guys who are but

530
00:25:21,093 --> 00:25:27,373
Speaker 1: star quarterbacks in your conference. That's that's not good, right, Yeah, I.

531
00:25:27,413 --> 00:25:29,133
Speaker 2: Meant more so a defense I'll have to run through.

532
00:25:29,133 --> 00:25:30,773
Speaker 2: I don't know if Strad will be there much longer,

533
00:25:30,773 --> 00:25:33,133
Speaker 2: but a lot of good young teams that aren't going

534
00:25:33,173 --> 00:25:35,453
Speaker 2: anywhere are gonna be in your way as you're kind

535
00:25:35,453 --> 00:25:38,293
Speaker 2: of seeming to be coming down the hill. And I never.

536
00:25:38,133 --> 00:25:40,373
Speaker 1: Got to get to the get to the super Bowl.

537
00:25:40,693 --> 00:25:42,893
Speaker 1: Yeah I will, Okay. A couple moments from that game

538
00:25:42,933 --> 00:25:46,532
Speaker 1: I enjoyed former Kentucky Wildcat Dion Walker. We got to

539
00:25:46,533 --> 00:25:50,493
Speaker 1: see his belly jiggle in slow motion, which I thought

540
00:25:50,533 --> 00:25:54,053
Speaker 1: was one of the highlights of the weekend. I don't

541
00:25:54,053 --> 00:25:57,053
Speaker 1: know how the announcers didn't mention it. Okay, they showed,

542
00:25:57,413 --> 00:26:00,613
Speaker 1: they showed the other guy hitting the quarterback, but no

543
00:26:00,613 --> 00:26:03,973
Speaker 1: one seemed to have noticed this three hundred and forty

544
00:26:04,013 --> 00:26:07,933
Speaker 1: pound man's belly jiggling. I think that should have been

545
00:26:08,773 --> 00:26:12,573
Speaker 1: Nansen romo an apology to the viewers for not acknowledging

546
00:26:12,653 --> 00:26:14,253
Speaker 1: what was an amazing side.

547
00:26:14,933 --> 00:26:18,333
Speaker 2: Yeah, everyone at home, they weren't watching the quarterback. They

548
00:26:18,333 --> 00:26:21,693
Speaker 2: were watching Dion Walker's belly jiggle like that. The slow

549
00:26:21,693 --> 00:26:25,373
Speaker 2: moo was beautiful and I don't know his personality personality

550
00:26:25,373 --> 00:26:27,173
Speaker 2: about it, but a lot of fat guys they love it.

551
00:26:27,213 --> 00:26:29,213
Speaker 1: I would like to think he liked the attention. Yes,

552
00:26:29,213 --> 00:26:31,332
Speaker 1: they're not self conscious. You know. First of all, he

553
00:26:31,413 --> 00:26:34,293
Speaker 1: was wearing a cutoff T shirt, so like, he has

554
00:26:34,413 --> 00:26:37,413
Speaker 1: to have known that it was a possibility that that.

555
00:26:37,613 --> 00:26:39,013
Speaker 1: I mean, he might not have known they would do

556
00:26:39,053 --> 00:26:41,373
Speaker 1: it in slow motion, but he had to have known

557
00:26:41,413 --> 00:26:42,973
Speaker 1: his belly was going to be out. So I think

558
00:26:42,973 --> 00:26:45,292
Speaker 1: he's probably I think he's sad they lost, but I

559
00:26:45,333 --> 00:26:46,613
Speaker 1: think he's probably pretty good with that.

560
00:26:47,373 --> 00:26:49,173
Speaker 2: Yeah, he had an interception in the game, and I

561
00:26:49,213 --> 00:26:51,613
Speaker 2: think the belly and SlowMo was the best moment he

562
00:26:51,653 --> 00:26:53,453
Speaker 2: had of the whole game. Yeah, it was his first

563
00:26:53,453 --> 00:26:54,693
Speaker 2: interception of his career.

564
00:26:56,133 --> 00:26:57,612
Speaker 1: I will say again, they lost.

565
00:26:57,933 --> 00:26:59,693
Speaker 2: You got to give a lot of credit to Joe Brady,

566
00:26:59,733 --> 00:27:02,373
Speaker 2: who I've been saying someone should hire. The play call

567
00:27:02,413 --> 00:27:04,893
Speaker 2: where they did the little pitchback to Ray Davis that

568
00:27:05,013 --> 00:27:05,493
Speaker 2: got them.

569
00:27:06,533 --> 00:27:08,493
Speaker 1: Damn. That was a heck of a play and a

570
00:27:08,573 --> 00:27:11,373
Speaker 1: gutsy play at that time of the game, and our

571
00:27:11,373 --> 00:27:13,933
Speaker 1: boy Ray Davis. As much as I feel bad for

572
00:27:14,013 --> 00:27:16,053
Speaker 1: Josh Allen. I actually feel worse for Ray Davis.

573
00:27:16,133 --> 00:27:18,933
Speaker 2: I know he didn't have quite the legacy to protect

574
00:27:18,933 --> 00:27:21,253
Speaker 2: this Josh Allen, but a good year from him, and

575
00:27:21,293 --> 00:27:22,812
Speaker 2: that's our guy, and he had that big.

576
00:27:22,693 --> 00:27:24,613
Speaker 1: Play and I wanted him play more football this year.

577
00:27:38,173 --> 00:27:40,613
Speaker 1: All right, So the Broncos make it. Let's go to

578
00:27:40,733 --> 00:27:44,933
Speaker 1: the other game, the Texans, uh and the Patriots today.

579
00:27:45,293 --> 00:27:45,653
Speaker 2: C J.

580
00:27:45,853 --> 00:27:51,493
Speaker 1: Stroud five turnovers, four interceptions, and a fumble. And it's

581
00:27:51,533 --> 00:27:53,813
Speaker 1: not just that he had four interceptions that they were

582
00:27:53,973 --> 00:27:57,493
Speaker 1: awful interceptions. And they weren't even interceptions like on the

583
00:27:57,613 --> 00:28:00,373
Speaker 1: kleble where you could go, well, maybe the receiver could

584
00:28:00,373 --> 00:28:02,253
Speaker 1: have done There was like they were on him and

585
00:28:02,293 --> 00:28:04,532
Speaker 1: they were in bad I mean they were in bad times.

586
00:28:04,573 --> 00:28:08,532
Speaker 2: Twice, they're in range where they would have scored. Really,

587
00:28:08,573 --> 00:28:09,532
Speaker 2: just an awful game.

588
00:28:09,653 --> 00:28:13,613
Speaker 1: And you know, quarterbacks in general, the third year is

589
00:28:13,613 --> 00:28:16,133
Speaker 1: a huge thing because you have to decide whether you're

590
00:28:16,133 --> 00:28:19,493
Speaker 1: going to extend them. Really, the third year of a

591
00:28:19,533 --> 00:28:24,293
Speaker 1: quarterback is the most important year for them. And now it.

592
00:28:24,453 --> 00:28:27,293
Speaker 2: Ends like this and it's very likely the Texans will

593
00:28:27,333 --> 00:28:30,572
Speaker 2: have to make a decision in the off season. He

594
00:28:30,773 --> 00:28:34,572
Speaker 2: probably even if they decide to keep him, they will

595
00:28:34,653 --> 00:28:37,893
Speaker 2: not give him what they.

596
00:28:37,773 --> 00:28:41,973
Speaker 1: Could have given him, and that game today might have

597
00:28:42,093 --> 00:28:46,573
Speaker 1: cost him seventy five million dollars, Like I'm not even kidding.

598
00:28:46,653 --> 00:28:49,933
Speaker 1: It might have been that that much of a paycheck

599
00:28:50,013 --> 00:28:50,693
Speaker 1: game for him.

600
00:28:52,173 --> 00:28:55,813
Speaker 2: I agree, but he was so rattled, completely rattled. They're

601
00:28:55,813 --> 00:28:58,813
Speaker 2: even talking about during the broadcast going to our guy

602
00:28:58,933 --> 00:29:01,853
Speaker 2: David Mills, Like, Davis Mills, should they really consider putting

603
00:29:01,893 --> 00:29:02,293
Speaker 2: Mills in it?

604
00:29:02,373 --> 00:29:05,333
Speaker 1: Just they should have? I mean, I agree that he's

605
00:29:05,333 --> 00:29:08,453
Speaker 1: been a fan favorite of this podcast all year, but

606
00:29:08,533 --> 00:29:10,933
Speaker 1: I also think it's one of the rare occasions Drew

607
00:29:10,973 --> 00:29:12,493
Speaker 1: that maybe you should have thought.

608
00:29:12,333 --> 00:29:13,053
Speaker 2: About doing it.

609
00:29:14,173 --> 00:29:17,493
Speaker 1: Yeah, and we joked about him and during the season,

610
00:29:17,533 --> 00:29:18,573
Speaker 1: but that little stretch he.

611
00:29:18,573 --> 00:29:20,893
Speaker 2: Had where there wasn't really a drop off kind of

612
00:29:20,933 --> 00:29:23,013
Speaker 2: tells me a lot about CJ. Stroud too, that there

613
00:29:23,093 --> 00:29:25,413
Speaker 2: was not really a difference between Stroud and Davis Mills

614
00:29:25,413 --> 00:29:28,493
Speaker 2: playing with that defense. So if I'm the Texans, I

615
00:29:28,533 --> 00:29:31,613
Speaker 2: don't think Stroud's the answer. You're in a great spot now.

616
00:29:31,653 --> 00:29:34,093
Speaker 1: I will say this, If you take Stroud out today,

617
00:29:34,813 --> 00:29:37,173
Speaker 1: then you can't ever bring him back career. I mean,

618
00:29:37,213 --> 00:29:40,853
Speaker 1: like you can't take him out of the AFC playoff

619
00:29:40,893 --> 00:29:42,933
Speaker 1: game and go to the backup. I mean, that would

620
00:29:42,973 --> 00:29:44,973
Speaker 1: be hard to ever bring him back. So I mean

621
00:29:44,973 --> 00:29:46,453
Speaker 1: it's probably one of those things. If you're going to

622
00:29:46,533 --> 00:29:49,253
Speaker 1: do that, you got to understand what the ramifications are.

623
00:29:49,813 --> 00:29:51,853
Speaker 2: And that's exactly what they said on the broadcast. They said,

624
00:29:51,853 --> 00:29:53,853
Speaker 2: if you sit him, this is probably the last time

625
00:29:53,853 --> 00:29:56,373
Speaker 2: you see him, because in a playoff game, you can't

626
00:29:56,413 --> 00:29:58,813
Speaker 2: just go to the backup quarterback and benure starter and

627
00:29:58,853 --> 00:30:01,333
Speaker 2: franchise player. So it's probably ultimately why they did end

628
00:30:01,453 --> 00:30:03,973
Speaker 2: up doing it. But I mean, he looked awful, looked

629
00:30:04,013 --> 00:30:06,013
Speaker 2: completely terrified of being in that situation.

630
00:30:06,173 --> 00:30:07,653
Speaker 3: But how much blame do you put on the weather?

631
00:30:07,893 --> 00:30:10,933
Speaker 3: Because Drake May fumbled four times and through an interception

632
00:30:11,013 --> 00:30:12,893
Speaker 3: they only lost two of those fumbles. But I mean,

633
00:30:13,533 --> 00:30:14,453
Speaker 3: both of these guys played.

634
00:30:14,573 --> 00:30:16,133
Speaker 1: They put a lot of it on the weather.

635
00:30:16,293 --> 00:30:18,413
Speaker 2: But you also have to remember, I mean, I think

636
00:30:18,453 --> 00:30:19,333
Speaker 2: part of it with CJ.

637
00:30:19,453 --> 00:30:24,173
Speaker 1: Stroud is the fact that where he was two years ago,

638
00:30:24,293 --> 00:30:27,573
Speaker 1: right as a rookie, I think most people thought he

639
00:30:27,813 --> 00:30:30,293
Speaker 1: was the next guy, right, Like I mean, I think

640
00:30:30,373 --> 00:30:32,733
Speaker 1: there were people who kind of thought we're going to

641
00:30:32,813 --> 00:30:37,453
Speaker 1: be putting him in that Lamar Burrow, Alan Mahomes group.

642
00:30:37,933 --> 00:30:41,893
Speaker 1: I remember he after that season ranked the best quarterbacks

643
00:30:41,893 --> 00:30:44,533
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Do you remember this? And he put

644
00:30:44,813 --> 00:30:51,533
Speaker 1: Mahomes one, Lamar to me three, Burrow four or Alan four,

645
00:30:51,693 --> 00:30:55,853
Speaker 1: Burrow five. He put himself ahead of Josh Allen in Burrow.

646
00:30:55,893 --> 00:30:59,773
Speaker 1: So I think part of this is the expectations and

647
00:30:59,813 --> 00:31:02,133
Speaker 1: then what has been a huge drop off of play.

648
00:31:02,453 --> 00:31:04,413
Speaker 1: And I mean I don't think like I don't have

649
00:31:04,453 --> 00:31:06,893
Speaker 1: any sources, but I've seen one that there are a

650
00:31:06,933 --> 00:31:10,293
Speaker 1: lot of people that blame. There's a certain a sense

651
00:31:10,533 --> 00:31:12,653
Speaker 1: of thought that he doesn't work hard and that he

652
00:31:12,693 --> 00:31:16,133
Speaker 1: doesn't do the prep that's necessary to be a great quarterback.

653
00:31:16,173 --> 00:31:18,613
Speaker 1: So I think all those things combined drew to make

654
00:31:18,653 --> 00:31:21,213
Speaker 1: it to why he gets so much criticism for it.

655
00:31:22,093 --> 00:31:24,533
Speaker 2: Yeah, as bad as he looks today, he wasn't even

656
00:31:25,013 --> 00:31:27,653
Speaker 2: too good in the first playoff win. And you don't

657
00:31:27,653 --> 00:31:29,773
Speaker 2: want to have a guy in year four still chasing

658
00:31:29,773 --> 00:31:32,413
Speaker 2: his rookie season where that was his best numbers. I mean,

659
00:31:32,413 --> 00:31:34,373
Speaker 2: his numbers don't even confer how good he was in

660
00:31:34,373 --> 00:31:36,053
Speaker 2: the year one. I know he was hurt this season,

661
00:31:36,493 --> 00:31:38,453
Speaker 2: but it almost looked like that was just a flash

662
00:31:38,493 --> 00:31:39,893
Speaker 2: in the pan there and that might not be what

663
00:31:39,973 --> 00:31:41,853
Speaker 2: he truly is. And if I'm a Texans fan, what

664
00:31:41,973 --> 00:31:43,933
Speaker 2: I saw today, I don't know if I can put

665
00:31:44,013 --> 00:31:46,213
Speaker 2: much trust in that moving forward, even if there was

666
00:31:46,333 --> 00:31:46,813
Speaker 2: some snow.

667
00:31:47,493 --> 00:31:50,013
Speaker 1: Yeah, and he's on a team where you could argue,

668
00:31:50,013 --> 00:31:51,733
Speaker 1: if he had just been averaged, maybe they could have

669
00:31:51,733 --> 00:31:53,853
Speaker 1: won a Super Bowl, right if he I mean, he

670
00:31:53,893 --> 00:31:56,653
Speaker 1: didn't have to be great. That defense is so good.

671
00:31:56,693 --> 00:31:59,333
Speaker 1: I mean he lost him the game of the Patriots

672
00:31:59,333 --> 00:32:00,253
Speaker 1: twenty eight points.

673
00:32:00,453 --> 00:32:00,733
Speaker 7: Cee d.

674
00:32:00,893 --> 00:32:04,453
Speaker 1: Stroud, you could argue gave them fourteen, maybe even twenty

675
00:32:04,533 --> 00:32:07,933
Speaker 1: one of them himself, because you're right, as Billy said,

676
00:32:08,013 --> 00:32:11,893
Speaker 1: Drake May was not that great. But they win the game,

677
00:32:12,173 --> 00:32:16,533
Speaker 1: So the Patriots win. I really hate the Patriots. I

678
00:32:16,573 --> 00:32:20,053
Speaker 1: hate that Bill Simmons is happy, you know, I hate

679
00:32:20,573 --> 00:32:23,333
Speaker 1: I just hate it. I hate everything about I hate

680
00:32:23,373 --> 00:32:26,293
Speaker 1: that Jeff Goodman is happy, the college basketball reporter. He's

681
00:32:26,293 --> 00:32:28,973
Speaker 1: a Patriots fan, and his daughter goes to Indiana, so

682
00:32:29,053 --> 00:32:32,373
Speaker 1: he gets this back to back, back to back days.

683
00:32:32,453 --> 00:32:35,893
Speaker 1: Like I just it's a bad trait that I don't

684
00:32:35,973 --> 00:32:39,453
Speaker 1: want people that I even like to be happy, Like

685
00:32:39,893 --> 00:32:42,013
Speaker 1: I like Bill Simmons and Jeff Goodman, but I don't

686
00:32:42,013 --> 00:32:43,293
Speaker 1: want to even want them to be happy.

687
00:32:43,453 --> 00:32:45,453
Speaker 2: I don't know why the Patriots make me so mad,

688
00:32:45,493 --> 00:32:47,533
Speaker 2: But couldn't we have had a few couldn't we have

689
00:32:47,533 --> 00:32:49,613
Speaker 2: had like a decade of not dealing with them?

690
00:32:50,333 --> 00:32:52,133
Speaker 1: You know, they didn't really have a drought. What was

691
00:32:52,133 --> 00:32:54,093
Speaker 1: it like three years that I'm going to the playoffs?

692
00:32:54,133 --> 00:32:56,373
Speaker 2: So now they have their quarterback in the future, and

693
00:32:56,413 --> 00:32:59,373
Speaker 2: everybody's already making comparisons.

694
00:32:58,653 --> 00:32:59,253
Speaker 1: To the goat.

695
00:32:59,333 --> 00:33:02,413
Speaker 2: It's completely unfair that Boston gets all the success where

696
00:33:02,413 --> 00:33:05,093
Speaker 2: we root for teams that have these decade long droughts,

697
00:33:05,413 --> 00:33:08,053
Speaker 2: we barely of happiness, and they're just every year, well,

698
00:33:08,133 --> 00:33:10,453
Speaker 2: let's go have another parade because we won something else.

699
00:33:11,613 --> 00:33:13,653
Speaker 1: You should. I mean, the person that might be the

700
00:33:13,733 --> 00:33:17,293
Speaker 1: saddest is mac Jones because he'll be remembered as the

701
00:33:17,333 --> 00:33:22,693
Speaker 1: guy between the two guys that was picked. But yeah,

702
00:33:22,733 --> 00:33:24,853
Speaker 1: I can't stand it. And the thing is they're gonna

703
00:33:24,893 --> 00:33:27,453
Speaker 1: make the super Bowl and they'll have a good chance

704
00:33:27,493 --> 00:33:30,133
Speaker 1: at winning it. I mean regard, I think whoever wins

705
00:33:30,173 --> 00:33:32,613
Speaker 1: between the Rams and the Seahawks will be the super

706
00:33:32,613 --> 00:33:35,093
Speaker 1: Bowl favorite, but I think the Patriots will certainly have

707
00:33:35,133 --> 00:33:37,653
Speaker 1: a chance. It's also a bummer about the Bears because

708
00:33:37,693 --> 00:33:39,973
Speaker 1: you had a chance to have. We talked about the

709
00:33:39,973 --> 00:33:42,813
Speaker 1: anniversary of the eighty five Bears game. I mean there

710
00:33:42,853 --> 00:33:46,293
Speaker 1: was a chance to recreate that forty years later. Yep,

711
00:33:46,533 --> 00:33:49,773
Speaker 1: there was some history today. Drake May is now tied

712
00:33:50,253 --> 00:33:52,933
Speaker 1: for thirteenth all time in fumbles in the playoffs and

713
00:33:52,933 --> 00:33:55,213
Speaker 1: he's only played at the two games. He has six

714
00:33:55,293 --> 00:33:58,093
Speaker 1: fumbles in two games, which is thirteenth all time. That's

715
00:33:58,173 --> 00:34:01,373
Speaker 1: pretty impressive. I did not know that. That is amazing.

716
00:34:01,413 --> 00:34:03,413
Speaker 1: So I think he's got a real good shot of

717
00:34:03,493 --> 00:34:05,533
Speaker 1: beating that record before his career ends.

718
00:34:05,373 --> 00:34:08,053
Speaker 2: Don't especially if he stays on this pace that he's

719
00:34:08,093 --> 00:34:09,693
Speaker 2: on through the first two games of his career.

720
00:34:10,813 --> 00:34:14,932
Speaker 1: That's a really a really good good stat I like that.

721
00:34:16,172 --> 00:34:20,013
Speaker 1: It was it was interesting watching. I think it was

722
00:34:20,013 --> 00:34:22,292
Speaker 1: in watching. There were four games over the last two

723
00:34:22,372 --> 00:34:25,853
Speaker 1: days on four different networks, right, so you got four

724
00:34:25,973 --> 00:34:31,133
Speaker 1: different views of the playoffs. I mean the Bill the Seahawks,

725
00:34:31,212 --> 00:34:32,852
Speaker 1: by the way, that game was. That game sucked. I mean,

726
00:34:32,973 --> 00:34:36,212
Speaker 1: Rashid Shaheed hits these runs it back, it's over. So

727
00:34:36,252 --> 00:34:37,972
Speaker 1: I don't even I mean, you have anything you want

728
00:34:38,013 --> 00:34:39,412
Speaker 1: to say about the Seahawks forty nine.

729
00:34:39,372 --> 00:34:42,692
Speaker 2: Ers, Uh, Pat myself on the back. I thought that

730
00:34:42,732 --> 00:34:44,093
Speaker 2: was going to be a blowout. I didn't think the

731
00:34:44,093 --> 00:34:46,093
Speaker 2: forty nine ers diod a chance. It's amazing as they

732
00:34:46,093 --> 00:34:47,973
Speaker 2: made as far as they did. Then it was a blowout.

733
00:34:48,172 --> 00:34:50,133
Speaker 2: That wasn't good going getting Shaheed that was a trade

734
00:34:50,133 --> 00:34:52,652
Speaker 2: they made midyear. He had the kickoff return, He's got

735
00:34:52,692 --> 00:34:54,013
Speaker 2: a pump return this year. And they had a big

736
00:34:54,093 --> 00:34:56,613
Speaker 2: run in that game. So I guess he's the storyline.

737
00:34:56,652 --> 00:34:59,212
Speaker 2: But otherwise, no, it was just a whooping' and.

738
00:34:59,133 --> 00:35:01,613
Speaker 1: They and you know they probably should be the favorites,

739
00:35:02,133 --> 00:35:06,012
Speaker 1: uh to win the whole thing, but you know, still

740
00:35:06,133 --> 00:35:09,173
Speaker 1: Sam Darnold, by the way, Sam Darnald has a chance

741
00:35:09,252 --> 00:35:12,332
Speaker 1: to be the first person from his class to go

742
00:35:12,372 --> 00:35:14,372
Speaker 1: to a Super Bowl. And by the way, that was

743
00:35:14,413 --> 00:35:16,813
Speaker 1: the class that had Lamar and Josh Allen.

744
00:35:17,332 --> 00:35:20,212
Speaker 2: Right, so if you had said that, which would be

745
00:35:20,252 --> 00:35:22,292
Speaker 2: the first quarterback to go to a Super Bowl with

746
00:35:22,453 --> 00:35:26,732
Speaker 2: Josh Allen and Lamar and Baker Mayfield as well. I mean,

747
00:35:26,772 --> 00:35:29,253
Speaker 2: so all those guys get picked, and now it maybe

748
00:35:29,292 --> 00:35:31,892
Speaker 2: Sam Darnald drew. What are the odds you could have

749
00:35:31,933 --> 00:35:33,532
Speaker 2: gotten on that three years ago?

750
00:35:34,732 --> 00:35:36,532
Speaker 1: What was Jared stood him in that class too?

751
00:35:36,573 --> 00:35:39,453
Speaker 2: Maybe he beats all of them sneaks upon No, I

752
00:35:39,493 --> 00:35:42,293
Speaker 2: don't know if he was, but yeah, if there is gambling.

753
00:35:42,013 --> 00:35:45,413
Speaker 1: Live better than that, he isn't that class, it's pretty close.

754
00:35:46,292 --> 00:35:47,212
Speaker 1: I think he might be.

755
00:35:47,453 --> 00:35:49,573
Speaker 6: It might be bit I'm drafted in twenty nineteen.

756
00:35:50,692 --> 00:35:52,212
Speaker 1: Okay, so that was two years later, because I think

757
00:35:52,252 --> 00:35:55,972
Speaker 1: it was twenty seventeen was the But anyway, go ahead. Yeah,

758
00:35:56,013 --> 00:35:56,852
Speaker 1: I was just joking about that.

759
00:35:56,933 --> 00:35:59,492
Speaker 2: But if you've gotten a live bet, you know, when

760
00:35:59,573 --> 00:36:02,692
Speaker 2: Darnold was on, maybe the Panther or something, who would

761
00:36:02,732 --> 00:36:04,412
Speaker 2: be the first of that class to get to a

762
00:36:04,453 --> 00:36:06,852
Speaker 2: super Bowl would have made some good odds. He's earned

763
00:36:06,852 --> 00:36:10,012
Speaker 2: it this year, not an MVP candidate, but the year

764
00:36:10,053 --> 00:36:11,053
Speaker 2: he's had been amazing.

765
00:36:11,852 --> 00:36:14,692
Speaker 7: So yeah, So the four games are on four different networks,

766
00:36:15,133 --> 00:36:18,772
Speaker 7: and I found myself sort of and this is tough

767
00:36:18,812 --> 00:36:20,852
Speaker 7: because I work for one of these networks, but I'm

768
00:36:20,933 --> 00:36:23,212
Speaker 7: going to act for a second as if I don't

769
00:36:23,252 --> 00:36:23,933
Speaker 7: work for one.

770
00:36:23,772 --> 00:36:27,093
Speaker 1: Of these networks. I found it interesting to watch the

771
00:36:27,133 --> 00:36:29,772
Speaker 1: ways these games are covered. I want to see if

772
00:36:29,812 --> 00:36:35,053
Speaker 1: you agree with this. So for me at this point,

773
00:36:35,172 --> 00:36:38,372
Speaker 1: and I don't know why it is, I think the

774
00:36:38,413 --> 00:36:43,892
Speaker 1: network where the games feel the biggest is NBC that

775
00:36:43,933 --> 00:36:47,412
Speaker 1: there's something about, probably because those games are always at

776
00:36:47,533 --> 00:36:50,813
Speaker 1: nine that I feel like the games are the biggest

777
00:36:50,812 --> 00:36:53,493
Speaker 1: if they're on NBC, and then I would say second

778
00:36:53,613 --> 00:36:56,213
Speaker 1: for me is Fox. For some reason, just the way

779
00:36:56,372 --> 00:37:00,652
Speaker 1: the broadcast is on Fox, I feel it's the second biggest.

780
00:37:00,893 --> 00:37:03,652
Speaker 1: Then probably CBS and then or well actually maybe then

781
00:37:03,933 --> 00:37:08,252
Speaker 1: ESPN and then CBS. For some reason, on CBS, I

782
00:37:08,332 --> 00:37:11,533
Speaker 1: don't feel it's as big, even though we've had so

783
00:37:11,692 --> 00:37:13,412
Speaker 1: many big like Bill's Chiefs.

784
00:37:13,133 --> 00:37:15,812
Speaker 2: Games and stuff over the years. For whatever reason, it

785
00:37:15,852 --> 00:37:18,732
Speaker 2: feels like that to me. What about you see, I

786
00:37:18,732 --> 00:37:22,013
Speaker 2: think CBS does feel big. I put CBS above Fox,

787
00:37:22,453 --> 00:37:24,053
Speaker 2: and this might just be what we're used to. I'm

788
00:37:24,053 --> 00:37:26,212
Speaker 2: an AFC team that plays on CBS all the time,

789
00:37:26,292 --> 00:37:28,133
Speaker 2: and you're an NFC team that plays on Fox all

790
00:37:28,172 --> 00:37:28,533
Speaker 2: the time.

791
00:37:28,732 --> 00:37:30,652
Speaker 1: Might be a little biased there from what we've grown up.

792
00:37:31,172 --> 00:37:34,972
Speaker 1: My Fox one, though, though, goes back to when I

793
00:37:35,133 --> 00:37:40,252
Speaker 1: was younger, you know, Cowboys forty nine or like, like,

794
00:37:40,292 --> 00:37:42,772
Speaker 1: there was a period of time once Fox got the

795
00:37:42,852 --> 00:37:47,292
Speaker 1: contract in the nineties where it felt like when John

796
00:37:47,372 --> 00:37:49,332
Speaker 1: Madden was on a game, it was the biggest game

797
00:37:49,852 --> 00:37:51,613
Speaker 1: and that was Fox for those years.

798
00:37:51,613 --> 00:37:55,092
Speaker 2: So I think that's probably why I feel that way. Yeah,

799
00:37:55,133 --> 00:37:57,532
Speaker 2: that makes sense. And the robots, you know their time

800
00:37:57,692 --> 00:38:02,093
Speaker 2: was you get Jim Nance on CBS. If I'm ranking them,

801
00:38:02,093 --> 00:38:04,133
Speaker 2: I might even agree with you on NBC and putting

802
00:38:04,133 --> 00:38:07,692
Speaker 2: Tarrico above Nance and football maybe not overall, but for

803
00:38:07,772 --> 00:38:09,053
Speaker 2: these football moments you.

804
00:38:09,133 --> 00:38:13,652
Speaker 1: Really enjoy because he gave you the little hello friends. Bam. No,

805
00:38:13,772 --> 00:38:15,492
Speaker 1: I'm rinking Trico above Jim Nance.

806
00:38:15,493 --> 00:38:18,933
Speaker 2: I'd say Toco's to Rico's probably first, even though collins

807
00:38:18,933 --> 00:38:20,452
Speaker 2: Worth one moanent enough.

808
00:38:20,772 --> 00:38:23,652
Speaker 1: Can I also let me say this about Fox. I

809
00:38:23,692 --> 00:38:26,252
Speaker 1: got to give a shout out to Tom Brady. I

810
00:38:26,252 --> 00:38:27,652
Speaker 1: think he's gotten a lot better.

811
00:38:28,172 --> 00:38:34,852
Speaker 2: Like I actually would argue that he has improved exponentially,

812
00:38:34,893 --> 00:38:36,652
Speaker 2: which is probably why he shouldn't have been put on

813
00:38:36,692 --> 00:38:38,172
Speaker 2: the first team in year one.

814
00:38:38,652 --> 00:38:41,093
Speaker 1: He should have had some time to get his legs

815
00:38:41,172 --> 00:38:44,133
Speaker 1: under him. But I actually think he's really really good now,

816
00:38:44,533 --> 00:38:47,612
Speaker 1: and I actually think he's a lot better than Tony Romo. Now.

817
00:38:49,053 --> 00:38:51,412
Speaker 2: It wasn't this weekend, but I guess last weekend or

818
00:38:51,453 --> 00:38:54,133
Speaker 2: two weeks ago, where it is a ball viral we're

819
00:38:54,252 --> 00:38:56,692
Speaker 2: explaining about throwing in the wind. Just when you have

820
00:38:56,812 --> 00:38:59,053
Speaker 2: someone that's a master of their craft, the best they

821
00:38:59,053 --> 00:39:00,852
Speaker 2: ever do it. Like that, I could listen to them

822
00:39:00,893 --> 00:39:03,732
Speaker 2: talk about anything with technique, something like that that I

823
00:39:03,772 --> 00:39:04,692
Speaker 2: never would have considered.

824
00:39:04,732 --> 00:39:06,372
Speaker 1: And Brady's been doing more and more of that, and

825
00:39:06,413 --> 00:39:08,932
Speaker 1: that's what people want to hear. Well, it's hard, I mean,

826
00:39:09,692 --> 00:39:12,732
Speaker 1: it says a lot about his ability that, but he

827
00:39:12,772 --> 00:39:15,093
Speaker 1: has kept at it. I thought he might walk away

828
00:39:15,172 --> 00:39:18,773
Speaker 1: after a year, and I think he's gotten progressively better

829
00:39:18,812 --> 00:39:21,652
Speaker 1: at it. And then again, I don't know if the Romo,

830
00:39:21,732 --> 00:39:25,093
Speaker 1: if the predicting plays thing just gets old. But he's

831
00:39:25,133 --> 00:39:28,853
Speaker 1: not for me anymore. I think Collins were still great,

832
00:39:29,013 --> 00:39:31,533
Speaker 1: ape Min and Buck are kind of like they're almost

833
00:39:31,573 --> 00:39:33,452
Speaker 1: a part of your life now. They've been doing it

834
00:39:33,493 --> 00:39:35,732
Speaker 1: for so long, so I think that I think they

835
00:39:35,732 --> 00:39:38,452
Speaker 1: are blessed that, Like, there's nobody terrible. But I would

836
00:39:38,453 --> 00:39:42,293
Speaker 1: actually argue of the four networks, Romo is the bottom

837
00:39:42,893 --> 00:39:46,732
Speaker 1: last thing. The visuals of the game, well, I think

838
00:39:46,772 --> 00:39:49,613
Speaker 1: they all have like crystal clear. I mean, obviously they

839
00:39:49,613 --> 00:39:52,412
Speaker 1: all have the technology. I don't think anybody's like us

840
00:39:52,533 --> 00:39:57,692
Speaker 1: trying to get their computers to work. I do think,

841
00:39:57,732 --> 00:40:03,053
Speaker 1: for whatever reason, it looks crisper and like more perfect

842
00:40:03,453 --> 00:40:06,932
Speaker 1: on NBC. For whatever reason, I think they're cameras just

843
00:40:06,933 --> 00:40:09,332
Speaker 1: seem to make it look crisper. Do you think that.

844
00:40:10,133 --> 00:40:10,813
Speaker 1: I can't agree.

845
00:40:11,133 --> 00:40:13,972
Speaker 2: It could be they have the benefit of all their

846
00:40:14,013 --> 00:40:16,493
Speaker 2: games or night games. We get the Sunday night production.

847
00:40:16,573 --> 00:40:19,212
Speaker 2: You know, night games always look better, pop better, So.

848
00:40:19,133 --> 00:40:20,452
Speaker 1: That could be it. But I agree with you that

849
00:40:20,533 --> 00:40:22,372
Speaker 1: NBC has the best. I don't. I don't love to

850
00:40:22,453 --> 00:40:25,652
Speaker 1: carry Underwood intro. We have to mute that my household,

851
00:40:25,692 --> 00:40:29,972
Speaker 1: my wife's carry Underwe you what, why aren't you Carrie Underwood? Well,

852
00:40:30,013 --> 00:40:31,613
Speaker 1: my wife isn't a big fan, and it's like a

853
00:40:31,652 --> 00:40:32,772
Speaker 1: known thing. We have to mute that.

854
00:40:33,093 --> 00:40:35,453
Speaker 2: Why your wife is a very sweet person. Why doesn't

855
00:40:35,493 --> 00:40:37,372
Speaker 2: she like carry under done? Like the voice like when

856
00:40:37,372 --> 00:40:39,812
Speaker 2: I'm watching football. I gotta mute that or it's gonna

857
00:40:39,812 --> 00:40:42,933
Speaker 2: be a problem. There's no carry Underwood in this house. Wow.

858
00:40:43,053 --> 00:40:46,212
Speaker 1: I didn't realize Abby hated Carrie Underwood. That's a good

859
00:40:46,692 --> 00:40:49,853
Speaker 1: rivalry I didn't know about he did. That's a strike.

860
00:40:49,893 --> 00:40:54,013
Speaker 2: Who Yeah, that's a strike against NBC in this household.

861
00:40:54,053 --> 00:40:55,853
Speaker 2: So other than that, I agree with you in the ranking.

862
00:40:57,332 --> 00:41:02,332
Speaker 1: Yeah, well I do say it sometimes like I've been

863
00:41:02,332 --> 00:41:05,652
Speaker 1: waiting all day for Sunday night like it did stick. No,

864
00:41:07,093 --> 00:41:08,692
Speaker 1: I mean, what a lyric. I've just been waiting all

865
00:41:08,732 --> 00:41:12,093
Speaker 1: day for Sunday night. I guess it's true. I'm subjectively true.

866
00:41:12,172 --> 00:41:14,452
Speaker 1: We have been waiting all day and it is now

867
00:41:14,613 --> 00:41:18,413
Speaker 1: Sunday night. I mean, I think that's a fair. It's fair.

868
00:41:19,372 --> 00:41:21,772
Speaker 2: She's haven't been watching football all day and now it's

869
00:41:21,772 --> 00:41:23,533
Speaker 2: Sunday night, and I'll watch more football.

870
00:41:37,252 --> 00:41:41,692
Speaker 1: All right, So we've got the matchup set. We will

871
00:41:41,692 --> 00:41:44,292
Speaker 1: do further predictions later in the week. But if you

872
00:41:44,413 --> 00:41:47,252
Speaker 1: had to pick, now, where are you leaning on the

873
00:41:47,292 --> 00:41:47,853
Speaker 1: Super Bowl?

874
00:41:49,533 --> 00:41:51,812
Speaker 2: I just can't believe in the Broncos at this point

875
00:41:51,893 --> 00:41:54,292
Speaker 2: was Stidham probably would have picked the Broncos if bow

876
00:41:54,372 --> 00:41:55,613
Speaker 2: Nicks hadn't rolled that ankle.

877
00:41:56,933 --> 00:41:59,332
Speaker 1: So that one's not even a question for me. The

878
00:41:59,372 --> 00:42:00,613
Speaker 1: other one, I'm pretty conflicted.

879
00:42:00,652 --> 00:42:03,652
Speaker 2: I'm gonna lean Seahawks just being home, the way the

880
00:42:03,652 --> 00:42:05,692
Speaker 2: defense has played so lately, didn't have much of a

881
00:42:05,772 --> 00:42:09,733
Speaker 2: challenge whatsoever against the forty nine ers. But I also,

882
00:42:09,812 --> 00:42:11,372
Speaker 2: as I said we were talking about the Rams, I

883
00:42:11,372 --> 00:42:12,852
Speaker 2: think there's another gear that they can hit in the

884
00:42:12,852 --> 00:42:13,853
Speaker 2: playoffs of that offense.

885
00:42:13,893 --> 00:42:16,172
Speaker 1: But I think I'm going to I'm not committing now.

886
00:42:16,413 --> 00:42:18,372
Speaker 2: I can update as it goes on, but I think

887
00:42:18,413 --> 00:42:19,852
Speaker 2: I'm going to go Seahawks in that one.

888
00:42:20,933 --> 00:42:23,732
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm gonna go with the Rams. I think I

889
00:42:23,732 --> 00:42:27,613
Speaker 1: think Matthew Stafford is better than Sam Darnold and that

890
00:42:27,652 --> 00:42:29,412
Speaker 1: will show up. But I thought the same thing about

891
00:42:29,453 --> 00:42:31,932
Speaker 1: Josh Allen the bow Knicks. I will say this. We

892
00:42:31,933 --> 00:42:36,332
Speaker 1: were talking on my ESPN show about sort of historical quarterbacks,

893
00:42:36,933 --> 00:42:40,332
Speaker 1: and it is a different tier when you win your

894
00:42:40,413 --> 00:42:42,852
Speaker 1: second okay, because if you kind of go look at

895
00:42:42,852 --> 00:42:46,932
Speaker 1: the guys who've won two, it is the best quarterbacks

896
00:42:46,933 --> 00:42:50,852
Speaker 1: of all time. I mean, it's Brady, it's Manning, it's Mahomes,

897
00:42:51,372 --> 00:42:57,772
Speaker 1: it's Montana, right, it's Steve Young, and you throw the

898
00:42:58,093 --> 00:43:01,732
Speaker 1: Way and it's Lway. And then there's a couple that

899
00:43:01,852 --> 00:43:04,972
Speaker 1: are kind of like team quarterbacks. So you're talking about

900
00:43:05,053 --> 00:43:09,413
Speaker 1: Terry Bradshaw and to some extent, Troy Aikman. The only

901
00:43:09,533 --> 00:43:12,372
Speaker 1: quarterback out there that is considered one of the greatest

902
00:43:12,772 --> 00:43:16,053
Speaker 1: that only has one title really is Aaron Rodgers. Like

903
00:43:17,093 --> 00:43:19,452
Speaker 1: he's really the only one that anybody would put in

904
00:43:19,533 --> 00:43:23,413
Speaker 1: the best quarterbacks conversation that's only one one if Matthew

905
00:43:23,453 --> 00:43:26,212
Speaker 1: Stafford gets his second I mean, just think about the

906
00:43:26,292 --> 00:43:30,692
Speaker 1: names I just said, those are the best quarterbacks of

907
00:43:30,732 --> 00:43:32,932
Speaker 1: all time. And then I think in the you know

908
00:43:33,133 --> 00:43:36,212
Speaker 1: Bradshawn Aikman considered to be the leaders of two of

909
00:43:36,252 --> 00:43:39,813
Speaker 1: the best like dynasties of all time. Well, this RAMS

910
00:43:39,812 --> 00:43:43,612
Speaker 1: team is not a dynasty. So if Matthew Stafford gets

911
00:43:43,652 --> 00:43:47,212
Speaker 1: his second one, I think you now have to think

912
00:43:47,252 --> 00:43:49,892
Speaker 1: of him as one of those quarterbacks, which I don't

913
00:43:49,893 --> 00:43:53,932
Speaker 1: think people naturally do. But if he wins it, Drew,

914
00:43:54,013 --> 00:43:56,212
Speaker 1: I actually think he will need to be put in

915
00:43:56,292 --> 00:43:56,773
Speaker 1: that group.

916
00:43:58,252 --> 00:44:01,973
Speaker 2: I completely agree he'll probably have an MVP after this season.

917
00:44:02,093 --> 00:44:03,932
Speaker 2: Looks like he said it straight for that. Adding that

918
00:44:03,973 --> 00:44:06,133
Speaker 2: to his resume with what would be two super Bowls,

919
00:44:06,292 --> 00:44:08,492
Speaker 2: I mean, his numbers are up there already with some

920
00:44:08,533 --> 00:44:10,652
Speaker 2: of the greats. Still got a few more years to

921
00:44:10,692 --> 00:44:13,252
Speaker 2: add to that. So absolutely, if he gets the second ring,

922
00:44:13,252 --> 00:44:16,212
Speaker 2: I don't think that's any any question that he's made

923
00:44:16,292 --> 00:44:17,453
Speaker 2: himself into that top tier.

924
00:44:17,533 --> 00:44:19,133
Speaker 1: But I don't think most fans.

925
00:44:19,172 --> 00:44:21,692
Speaker 2: I don't think most fans would just think that off

926
00:44:21,772 --> 00:44:22,613
Speaker 2: the top of their head.

927
00:44:22,652 --> 00:44:25,773
Speaker 1: They would not think to put him in that group.

928
00:44:26,413 --> 00:44:28,692
Speaker 1: But I think when you hear that group of names,

929
00:44:29,093 --> 00:44:33,093
Speaker 1: the ones I just said, you think, Okay, no one

930
00:44:33,133 --> 00:44:38,812
Speaker 1: would dis No one would disagree that Brady Mahomes, Montana Manning,

931
00:44:39,292 --> 00:44:42,013
Speaker 1: and l Way maybe are the five best, right and

932
00:44:42,013 --> 00:44:44,652
Speaker 1: then I don't think anybody would would disagree that right

933
00:44:44,772 --> 00:44:47,172
Speaker 1: under that, you might have a group that.

934
00:44:47,172 --> 00:44:51,773
Speaker 2: Includes Steve Young, Troy Aitman whatever. He's going to be there.

935
00:44:51,933 --> 00:44:54,252
Speaker 1: I mean he is, and and I if he went,

936
00:44:54,332 --> 00:44:57,292
Speaker 1: if he wins, and I think that's uh, that's kind

937
00:44:57,292 --> 00:45:00,013
Speaker 1: of an interesting storyline to watch as we go. All right,

938
00:45:00,053 --> 00:45:02,853
Speaker 1: let's look, let's go back to some other NFL news.

939
00:45:02,933 --> 00:45:08,013
Speaker 1: The Falcons hired Kevin Stefanski. Uh. I sort of thought

940
00:45:08,053 --> 00:45:11,852
Speaker 1: he was since Mike Tomlin's not gonna coach. I kind

941
00:45:11,852 --> 00:45:15,932
Speaker 1: of thought he was like target two behind John Harbaugh

942
00:45:16,093 --> 00:45:19,652
Speaker 1: for NFL teams. Kind of impressive that the Falcons would

943
00:45:19,692 --> 00:45:21,412
Speaker 1: get the second best guy, do you.

944
00:45:21,413 --> 00:45:25,573
Speaker 2: Think, Yeah, we knew that name would get picked up

945
00:45:25,652 --> 00:45:27,972
Speaker 2: quickly when I'm sure the Browns should have let him go.

946
00:45:28,013 --> 00:45:29,253
Speaker 1: It's just part of being the Browns.

947
00:45:29,252 --> 00:45:32,332
Speaker 2: I guess him having a losing season there, but yeah,

948
00:45:32,372 --> 00:45:34,493
Speaker 2: good get for the Falcons. Socially, I was hoping the

949
00:45:34,533 --> 00:45:36,212
Speaker 2: Titans would be in the mix there for him. But

950
00:45:36,413 --> 00:45:38,252
Speaker 2: they made it quick and made a good move there.

951
00:45:39,613 --> 00:45:39,973
Speaker 1: With all that.

952
00:45:40,093 --> 00:45:42,133
Speaker 2: You know, we've spent the last couple of podcasts ranking

953
00:45:42,212 --> 00:45:45,853
Speaker 2: those spots. Wasn't as high on Atlanta as maybe some others,

954
00:45:45,933 --> 00:45:47,573
Speaker 2: but it's a good higher for them. I think that

955
00:45:47,692 --> 00:45:49,973
Speaker 2: might be the best one they can get. It's odd

956
00:45:50,013 --> 00:45:51,812
Speaker 2: to me though, because like he isn't gonna have to

957
00:45:51,852 --> 00:45:54,413
Speaker 2: be Kirk Cousins court. I mean, is it Kirk Cousins

958
00:45:54,493 --> 00:45:56,812
Speaker 2: gonna start next year? Like that's a weird place to

959
00:45:56,852 --> 00:45:59,332
Speaker 2: want to go start. Yeah, he must be thinking, you know,

960
00:45:59,533 --> 00:46:01,573
Speaker 2: I'll just get through this one year of whatever their

961
00:46:01,652 --> 00:46:04,452
Speaker 2: quarterback situation is, and however it goes, maybe the following year,

962
00:46:04,453 --> 00:46:07,052
Speaker 2: I'll have a draft pick, or maybe Michael Pennox comes

963
00:46:07,093 --> 00:46:09,452
Speaker 2: backs and turns into something. But Cousins doesn't have a

964
00:46:09,453 --> 00:46:11,292
Speaker 2: lot left, so'd be weird to get excited to take

965
00:46:11,292 --> 00:46:13,332
Speaker 2: a new job and you look up and Kirk Cousins.

966
00:46:12,973 --> 00:46:14,053
Speaker 1: As your starting quarterback?

967
00:46:14,973 --> 00:46:19,333
Speaker 2: Are you starting to feel some Mike McCarthy sexiness.

968
00:46:18,652 --> 00:46:22,892
Speaker 1: There in Tennessee? I mean, are you starting to It's here?

969
00:46:22,933 --> 00:46:25,812
Speaker 1: He went apparently he was there all weekend, went to eat,

970
00:46:25,933 --> 00:46:28,932
Speaker 1: went on Broadway had a bachelor att party, Like are

971
00:46:28,933 --> 00:46:32,973
Speaker 1: you the party? Yeah? He was. He and his girls

972
00:46:33,013 --> 00:46:35,452
Speaker 1: had a bachelorette party, like, are you you starting to

973
00:46:35,453 --> 00:46:35,892
Speaker 1: feel it?

974
00:46:37,133 --> 00:46:39,973
Speaker 2: I'm just all the Mike mix. We got Mike McDaniel,

975
00:46:40,013 --> 00:46:43,892
Speaker 2: Mike McCarthy. Our current current coach is Mike McCoy. I'm

976
00:46:43,933 --> 00:46:45,853
Speaker 2: just prepared for some kind of Mike to be coaching

977
00:46:45,852 --> 00:46:48,573
Speaker 2: the Titans. Which one I'd you rather have McDaniel or McCarthy,

978
00:46:48,613 --> 00:46:53,533
Speaker 2: Daniel McDaniel. Most people would prefer McCarthy, including a lot

979
00:46:53,573 --> 00:46:55,573
Speaker 2: of ones I trust I'm reading, but I just I

980
00:46:55,613 --> 00:46:57,932
Speaker 2: can't do that again. After watching him with the Cowboys,

981
00:46:58,332 --> 00:47:00,453
Speaker 2: I know he's been a great coach, it just seems

982
00:47:00,493 --> 00:47:01,573
Speaker 2: like an old hire.

983
00:47:01,973 --> 00:47:04,732
Speaker 1: I would like to see Daniel with Cam Woard.

984
00:47:04,852 --> 00:47:08,613
Speaker 2: That offense, even his personality and all that would take

985
00:47:08,652 --> 00:47:09,252
Speaker 2: a little bit of.

986
00:47:09,172 --> 00:47:12,372
Speaker 1: Getting used to. Well, you're gonna get him. You're gonna

987
00:47:12,413 --> 00:47:15,412
Speaker 1: get Mike McCarthy, and I'm going to be excited that

988
00:47:15,533 --> 00:47:17,613
Speaker 1: you get to have him in your life again. I

989
00:47:17,652 --> 00:47:20,372
Speaker 1: know you liked it the last time when he was

990
00:47:20,413 --> 00:47:23,772
Speaker 1: with the Cowboys. I think it'll be very exciting for you.

991
00:47:24,212 --> 00:47:27,412
Speaker 1: I am enjoying watching which one of these teams is

992
00:47:27,453 --> 00:47:29,772
Speaker 1: going to screw up the job. I think the very

993
00:47:29,812 --> 00:47:34,372
Speaker 1: good candidate is Arizona. I think there's no doubt. It

994
00:47:34,453 --> 00:47:36,412
Speaker 1: seems to me. I don't know what the Raiders are doing,

995
00:47:36,933 --> 00:47:38,692
Speaker 1: but I feel like the Raiders have to at least

996
00:47:38,692 --> 00:47:42,452
Speaker 1: wait and try to get Signetti, even though I know

997
00:47:42,533 --> 00:47:45,093
Speaker 1: he'll say no. Like if Mendoz is going to be

998
00:47:45,093 --> 00:47:48,013
Speaker 1: the quarterback, I feel like you gotta try. It won't happen,

999
00:47:48,053 --> 00:47:49,892
Speaker 1: but you gotta try. But like, no one wants to

1000
00:47:49,893 --> 00:47:54,332
Speaker 1: go to Arizona, right, you have nothing, So I think

1001
00:47:54,372 --> 00:47:58,292
Speaker 1: they're gonna end up getting the worst tire whoever it is. Yes,

1002
00:47:58,372 --> 00:47:59,732
Speaker 1: nobody want to live in Arizona.

1003
00:47:59,772 --> 00:47:59,932
Speaker 9: Though.

1004
00:48:00,093 --> 00:48:02,652
Speaker 2: Remember a few years ago where that picture of Cliff

1005
00:48:02,692 --> 00:48:04,133
Speaker 2: Kingsbury's house came out of the.

1006
00:48:04,133 --> 00:48:06,852
Speaker 1: Draft and it looks like, but you've been we went

1007
00:48:06,893 --> 00:48:08,253
Speaker 1: out there. It's hot.

1008
00:48:09,133 --> 00:48:11,052
Speaker 6: It is hot, really hot.

1009
00:48:12,172 --> 00:48:15,852
Speaker 1: You can deal with it to coach the Cardinals. Yeah,

1010
00:48:15,973 --> 00:48:19,212
Speaker 1: it's pretty hot. I mean I got sunburned. All you

1011
00:48:19,172 --> 00:48:20,613
Speaker 1: got to do is look at the picture of me

1012
00:48:20,652 --> 00:48:23,372
Speaker 1: from that barstool party. I look like I just like

1013
00:48:23,372 --> 00:48:26,252
Speaker 1: a lobster just walked off of me because you and

1014
00:48:26,252 --> 00:48:29,372
Speaker 1: I had played golf the day before. It still maybe

1015
00:48:29,453 --> 00:48:31,692
Speaker 1: my worst round of golf in history too, So maybe

1016
00:48:31,692 --> 00:48:35,212
Speaker 1: that's maybe that's messing up my view of Arizona. I

1017
00:48:35,292 --> 00:48:36,812
Speaker 1: just don't know if that's where I'd want to go.

1018
00:48:37,453 --> 00:48:38,732
Speaker 1: It's just it's living in your head.

1019
00:48:38,772 --> 00:48:41,372
Speaker 2: Sunscreens, your friend, but that one does not look half

1020
00:48:41,453 --> 00:48:44,212
Speaker 2: as good as Vegas and what we're saying about Mendoza.

1021
00:48:44,212 --> 00:48:46,053
Speaker 2: I don't think sig would take it, but I agree

1022
00:48:46,093 --> 00:48:47,732
Speaker 2: with you that they at least need to make the call,

1023
00:48:47,893 --> 00:48:50,573
Speaker 2: like we're taking your quarterback. We can build on this,

1024
00:48:50,772 --> 00:48:52,732
Speaker 2: You've already got a ring in college, can be the

1025
00:48:52,772 --> 00:48:54,253
Speaker 2: greatest ever and get just Super Bowl.

1026
00:48:55,093 --> 00:48:57,852
Speaker 1: Let's also talk for a second with Super bowls now

1027
00:48:57,893 --> 00:48:59,332
Speaker 1: two weeks away. As a matter of fact, we will

1028
00:48:59,372 --> 00:49:06,892
Speaker 1: be flying to San Francisco two weeks from tuesday. So

1029
00:49:06,973 --> 00:49:09,772
Speaker 1: I've learned more about all this because I talked to

1030
00:49:10,332 --> 00:49:13,493
Speaker 1: my boss at ESPN who told me, like, all of

1031
00:49:13,533 --> 00:49:18,133
Speaker 1: the ESPN shows are going live. Apparently where our set

1032
00:49:18,172 --> 00:49:21,733
Speaker 1: is is right next to where McAfee will be live,

1033
00:49:22,252 --> 00:49:26,013
Speaker 1: so we will be taping this podcast while McAfee is

1034
00:49:26,133 --> 00:49:29,853
Speaker 1: live just like twenty feet from us. So my assumption

1035
00:49:29,973 --> 00:49:32,373
Speaker 1: is we'll get the same guests. They do because people

1036
00:49:32,372 --> 00:49:34,892
Speaker 1: will want to do both shows. Who's knowing word that

1037
00:49:35,053 --> 00:49:38,452
Speaker 1: here and they're there. And then when it comes to

1038
00:49:38,493 --> 00:49:42,012
Speaker 1: like the parties, Billy, have you been working on your wardrobe?

1039
00:49:43,252 --> 00:49:47,212
Speaker 6: Not yet, No, but we are gonna say annoy, like.

1040
00:49:47,172 --> 00:49:49,892
Speaker 1: Are you are you thinking about various things to wear?

1041
00:49:49,933 --> 00:49:52,292
Speaker 1: I mean these are going to be some high class affairs.

1042
00:49:52,652 --> 00:49:53,853
Speaker 6: Yeah, I have no idea.

1043
00:49:53,973 --> 00:49:56,732
Speaker 3: Honestly, I'm hoping somebody at the store can help me out.

1044
00:49:57,652 --> 00:50:04,812
Speaker 3: What store you say, the store warehouse?

1045
00:50:04,852 --> 00:50:06,812
Speaker 6: Maybe? I mean I feel like I've got to bump

1046
00:50:06,812 --> 00:50:07,892
Speaker 6: it up to a different level.

1047
00:50:07,893 --> 00:50:10,613
Speaker 1: I think these are men's warehouse parties. Like, I don't

1048
00:50:10,613 --> 00:50:13,013
Speaker 1: think you want to come in like a business suit.

1049
00:50:13,093 --> 00:50:15,533
Speaker 1: You're trying to look him, You're trying to look like

1050
00:50:15,573 --> 00:50:16,413
Speaker 1: you're on the scene.

1051
00:50:16,493 --> 00:50:18,773
Speaker 3: Yeah, I wasn't gonna wear my khakis to the Sports

1052
00:50:18,772 --> 00:50:20,572
Speaker 3: Illustrated party.

1053
00:50:20,573 --> 00:50:23,093
Speaker 6: Maybe like an all black look or something like that.

1054
00:50:23,172 --> 00:50:24,533
Speaker 6: I mean, I don't know, maybe black.

1055
00:50:24,933 --> 00:50:27,772
Speaker 2: Do you have do you have like nice jeans, like

Speaker 2: nice gen Yeah?

1057

Speaker 6: Yeah, I got jeens. You think that's acceptable.

1058
00:50:31,732 --> 00:50:33,772
Speaker 1: I didn't ask you if you had jeans, I asked

1059
00:50:33,812 --> 00:50:34,973
Speaker 1: you if you had nice.

1060
00:50:35,093 --> 00:50:38,972
Speaker 3: Well that's subjective, so I'm I'm not sure they're not

1061
00:50:39,252 --> 00:50:41,412
Speaker 3: acid washed or have holes in them, so you could

1062
00:50:41,413 --> 00:50:42,052
Speaker 3: say they're nice.

1063
00:50:42,133 --> 00:50:45,772
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think you want to acid wash.

1064
00:50:45,893 --> 00:50:50,332
Speaker 2: This is not nineteen eighty six. Do you do you

Speaker 2: I don't know what does your wife think about all this?

1084
00:51:25,613 --> 00:51:26,212
Speaker 6: She's worried.

1085
00:51:26,372 --> 00:51:27,932
Speaker 1: Why don't you order contact for her?

1086
00:51:28,172 --> 00:51:30,172
Speaker 3: I don't think she knows about the parties that we're

1087
00:51:30,212 --> 00:51:31,732
Speaker 3: going to be going to. She just knows about the

1088
00:51:31,732 --> 00:51:32,492
Speaker 3: trip right now.

1089
00:51:32,573 --> 00:51:35,133
Speaker 2: So well, don't you think maybe you ought to tell

1090
00:51:35,172 --> 00:51:35,613
Speaker 2: her that.

1091
00:51:36,493 --> 00:51:38,652
Speaker 3: I thought she might just find out when Mario films

1092
00:51:38,692 --> 00:51:40,013
Speaker 3: us while we're at the club.

1093
00:51:40,252 --> 00:51:46,893
Speaker 1: Maybe. Okay, well, listen, I've never been married. I would

1094
00:51:46,933 --> 00:51:50,573
Speaker 1: suggest you give her a hint that you're going to parties.

1095
00:51:50,652 --> 00:51:52,812
Speaker 1: I think, don't you think, Drew, she might want to

1096
00:51:52,852 --> 00:51:55,533
Speaker 1: know that. Yeah, tell her to tell you'll get a

1097
00:51:55,573 --> 00:51:56,613
Speaker 1: souvenir at the parties.

1098
00:51:57,212 --> 00:52:00,053
Speaker 2: Just get her a magnet or something from the super

1099
00:52:00,053 --> 00:52:00,772
Speaker 2: Bowl magnet.

1100
00:52:01,292 --> 00:52:02,852
Speaker 6: Yeah, that was a long way.

1101
00:52:03,133 --> 00:52:06,412
Speaker 2: Really, the most important thing that the most important thing

1102
00:52:06,413 --> 00:52:07,732
Speaker 2: to pack is a positive attitude.

1103
00:52:07,812 --> 00:52:09,093
Speaker 1: You have your positive attitude.

1104
00:52:09,133 --> 00:52:10,852
Speaker 6: Oh absolutely, We're gonna have.

1105
00:52:10,852 --> 00:52:12,852
Speaker 1: A weird time frame, okay, because I mean, if you

1106
00:52:12,893 --> 00:52:16,532
Speaker 1: think about it, our KSR Show will be you're gonna

1107
00:52:16,573 --> 00:52:18,893
Speaker 1: go on the air at six in that morning, local

1108
00:52:18,933 --> 00:52:22,732
Speaker 1: time in San Francisco. And then these parties, you know,

1109
00:52:22,852 --> 00:52:25,973
Speaker 1: some of them, they might go. Let's say we stay

1110
00:52:26,013 --> 00:52:29,932
Speaker 1: out late to midnight, Billy, then that's three am on

1111
00:52:30,053 --> 00:52:32,373
Speaker 1: our bodies, Like, this is gonna be a lot happening.

1112
00:52:32,652 --> 00:52:33,812
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'll sleep when I'm dead.

1113
00:52:34,133 --> 00:52:36,652
Speaker 3: This is a week I've been waiting for for a while,

1114
00:52:36,732 --> 00:52:37,733
Speaker 3: so we can make it happen.

1115
00:52:38,212 --> 00:52:41,533
Speaker 1: Well, the United States Speaker of the House Mike Johnson

1116
00:52:42,413 --> 00:52:46,892
Speaker 1: said that he only sleeps two hours a night, so

1117
00:52:47,692 --> 00:52:48,492
Speaker 1: I don't believe him.

1118
00:52:48,533 --> 00:52:50,492
Speaker 2: But he said he works twenty two hours a day.

1119
00:52:50,533 --> 00:52:53,533
Speaker 1: I do not believe that's true. But he did say that, Billy,

1120
00:52:53,613 --> 00:52:55,893
Speaker 1: so you could follow in his footstep.

1121
00:52:55,453 --> 00:52:55,932
Speaker 6: He was living.

1122
00:52:55,973 --> 00:52:58,053
Speaker 3: Get more than two, I'd be dragging and be a

1123
00:52:58,093 --> 00:52:59,613
Speaker 3: little bit of a grump the next day if I

1124
00:52:59,613 --> 00:52:59,972
Speaker 3: had two.

1125
00:53:00,053 --> 00:53:03,493
Speaker 2: So I believe Mario Mario Drew. Do you believe that

1126
00:53:03,852 --> 00:53:07,172
Speaker 2: he onlys sleeps two hours a night? No, I believe

1127
00:53:07,172 --> 00:53:10,212
Speaker 2: he's a liar. I've done some stretches were maybe like

1128
00:53:11,093 --> 00:53:14,892
Speaker 2: three consecutive nights of two hours and about that's about

1129
00:53:14,893 --> 00:53:16,732
Speaker 2: all you can do. It really starts to catch up

1130
00:53:16,732 --> 00:53:19,212
Speaker 2: with you. So if he's claiming that's his regular life, no,

1131
00:53:19,292 --> 00:53:19,892
Speaker 2: absolutely not.

1132
00:53:20,692 --> 00:53:22,252
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't believe it either.

1133
00:53:22,292 --> 00:53:26,812
Speaker 2: Well, it was a great two really great games, two

1134
00:53:26,893 --> 00:53:31,652
Speaker 2: not so great games, But overall, these playoffs have really delivered.

1135
00:53:31,812 --> 00:53:35,012
Speaker 1: Tomorrow's the national championship through who do you have, Indiana

1136
00:53:35,172 --> 00:53:38,652
Speaker 1: or Miami. Indiana's gonna kill him.

1137
00:53:38,732 --> 00:53:42,292
Speaker 2: It's just maybe the most dominant season we've ever seen

1138
00:53:42,332 --> 00:53:44,453
Speaker 2: from a college football team, and they'll put the final

1139
00:53:44,493 --> 00:53:47,293
Speaker 2: stamp on it Monday, night. I know Miami is supposed

1140
00:53:47,332 --> 00:53:49,652
Speaker 2: to be a home game, but Mendoza's a home game

1141
00:53:49,692 --> 00:53:51,092
Speaker 2: for him too, and I expect.

1142
00:53:50,772 --> 00:53:53,252
Speaker 1: He's gonna have a big game. Yeah, I kind of

1143
00:53:53,252 --> 00:53:55,812
Speaker 1: feel like that too. I think Indiana crushes him, and

1144
00:53:55,893 --> 00:53:58,493
Speaker 1: I think Indiana will go down then as one of

1145
00:53:58,533 --> 00:54:00,692
Speaker 1: the great college football teams of all time, which people

1146
00:54:00,732 --> 00:54:04,812
Speaker 1: don't want to say because it's Indiana, right, they don't

1147
00:54:04,812 --> 00:54:08,693
Speaker 1: want to say that subjectively. If you beat Ohio State

1148
00:54:08,772 --> 00:54:12,972
Speaker 1: and then you destroy Alabama, you destroy Oregon, and let's

1149
00:54:13,053 --> 00:54:16,252
Speaker 1: just say they destroyed Miami, Like, wouldn't you have to

1150
00:54:16,292 --> 00:54:18,492
Speaker 1: say that, Drew even though it's Indiana, You don't feel

1151
00:54:18,493 --> 00:54:21,373
Speaker 1: like you want to. Yeah, and I've seen some stats.

1152
00:54:21,413 --> 00:54:22,532
Speaker 2: I don't have it in front of me, but they're

1153
00:54:22,573 --> 00:54:25,933
Speaker 2: like the first team to win five games by forty

1154
00:54:25,973 --> 00:54:28,053
Speaker 2: points or something in their margin of victory and all

1155
00:54:28,053 --> 00:54:30,212
Speaker 2: these there's a lot of stuff that's never been done

1156
00:54:30,212 --> 00:54:30,893
Speaker 2: before already.

1157
00:54:30,893 --> 00:54:32,452
Speaker 1: So if they finished it with one more, they win

1158
00:54:32,533 --> 00:54:36,292
Speaker 1: by fifteen. If they were to win by fifteen, they

1159
00:54:36,332 --> 00:54:40,733
Speaker 1: would have the highest margin of victory of any undefeated

1160
00:54:40,852 --> 00:54:44,133
Speaker 1: team effor in the history of college football.

1161
00:54:44,812 --> 00:54:46,732
Speaker 2: It's gonna happen now, I think the spread seven and

1162
00:54:46,772 --> 00:54:49,732
Speaker 2: a half. I'll be partaking in them, covering that all

1163
00:54:49,732 --> 00:54:50,892
Speaker 2: the way to those points.

1164
00:54:51,332 --> 00:54:54,252
Speaker 1: All right, Well, thank you guys very much, Billy, thank

1165
