Speaker 3: Listen.

102
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 4: I was surprised, you know, when they started calling I

103
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:48,479
Speaker 4: think over a year ago and just asked me, Hey,

104
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 4: you know you got time to do this.

105
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 3: I'm like yeah.

106
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 4: And once I did it, I was they were like, Okay,

107
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 4: we're gonna keep calling you first stories.

108
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 3: I'm like, all right, that's fine by me. Give a ship. Cool.

109
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,280
Speaker 1: Uh So, Mike, you are going on CNN to talk

110
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 1: about John Madden. Do you ever meet John Madden?

111
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:07,279
Speaker 3: You met? God, Yes, I've known him for years. Listen.

112
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 4: I grew up loving the guy now he was. I

113
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:12,839
Speaker 4: was born and raised in Cleveland. We didn't have a

114
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:16,360
Speaker 4: very good team. The team I kind of loved loved

115
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 4: growing up was the Raiders was his Opland Raiders. You know,

116
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:21,839
Speaker 4: he got there and what well, he was a linebacker,

117
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 4: coach before head coach. But I think a head coach

118
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 4: in like sixty nine to the late seventies. So I'm

119
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 4: seven years old at that time, you know, seven until

120
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,719
Speaker 4: you know getting close to you know, right about high school.

121
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 3: And I was a.

122
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 4: Huge Raider fan, you know, lyle Alzado and Kenny Stabler,

123
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 4: just that whole crew.

124
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:42,239
Speaker 3: And I loved Madden.

125
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:46,040
Speaker 4: Madden to me, and and I think the best description

126
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 4: of maddness he is just a football guy. I mean

127
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:53,719
Speaker 4: you saw him, you know, overweight, slovenly dressed at times,

128
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 4: crazy hair, didn't give a shit. Man, dude just loved football,

129
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 4: loved to coach fotball.

130
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:03,280
Speaker 3: But then during right around my time of.

131
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 4: Getting into it, I think it was in eighty four,

132
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:10,919
Speaker 4: that's when he started like the Maden All Madden, I

133
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 4: mean the EA Sports, but it didn't it didn't take

134
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 4: off for right away. Then during my time playing No,

135
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 4: I think eighty four.

136
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:18,479
Speaker 5: No.

137
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,159
Speaker 4: Eighty four was the All Madden team. Let me tell

138
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:22,719
Speaker 4: you now, I never made.

139
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 3: A Pro Bowl.

140
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 1: Late nineteen eighty four was the first All Madden team, right.

141
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 3: The first All Madden team.

142
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:29,480
Speaker 4: Nineteen eighty four was the first All Man And I

143
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 4: got into the League in eighty five.

144
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 1: Just to be clear, Just to be clear for the

145
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 1: younger kids in our audience, I think the players just

146
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 1: watching the reaction to Madden's death on Twitter, making the

147
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:41,359
Speaker 1: All Madden Team was a bigger honor than making the

148
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl.

149
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 4: Yes, as that That's exactly where I was going.

150
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:46,720
Speaker 3: I never made a Pro Bowl.

151
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 4: I always remember the days when the coaches would come

152
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:51,160
Speaker 4: into the meetings and announce who.

153
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,599
Speaker 3: Made the Pro Bowl. I never really sat up straight

154
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 3: and waited to hear my name, but I was.

155
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 4: I was kind of the kind of down and dirty,

156
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,719
Speaker 4: blood on your uniform, dirt on your uniform.

157
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:06,160
Speaker 3: Snot coming out of your nose, hit a guy, no

158
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 3: matter what.

159
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 4: That would that kind of would fit more the All

160
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 4: Madden type than the Pro Bowl. I never made an

161
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 4: All Madden team, but I mean that was it started.

162
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 4: So it started my senior year in college, so I

163
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 4: knew of it coming into the NFL. And you're right,

164
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 4: I mean, guys loved, loved being picked on that All

165
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 4: Madden team because John Madden thought you were a player.

166
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:35,679
Speaker 4: John Madden thought you were this gritty, this football guy.

167
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 3: You know that that's what John Mannon thought you were.

168
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 4: And and that was about as high a praise as

169
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 4: you could get, you know. And so there was that,

170
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 4: and then it went to the All mad the EA Sports,

171
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 4: you know, the All Madden, you know, the football game,

172
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 4: which I think was in like eighty eight. I don't

173
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 4: think it first came out till ninety, but that was

174
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 4: during my career as well. Where now you know you're

175
00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 4: part of this thing, you know, because most people today

176
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 4: know just John Madden as the announcer. I think he

177
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 4: announced for every network doing games he did.

178
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I first loved him as a coach. Like

179
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 3: I said, I was a raider guy.

180
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 4: And then and then and I actually we had some

181
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 4: fun when I was doing when I was doing Mike

182
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 4: and Mike and me Trey and my son Mike do

183
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 4: in the show, because I had the three interceptions I

184
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 4: had in my career were all on. It was a

185
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 4: blitz we had where I lined up over a guard

186
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 4: and my job was to grab the guard, let the

187
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 4: middle linebacker, which was normally Byron Evans, run by so

188
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,080
Speaker 4: the guard couldn't pick him off. And then I would

189
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 4: let go of the guard and I would drop back

190
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 4: right where Byron blitz from and if it worked, then

191
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 4: the byron would be in his face and the quarterback

192
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:48,319
Speaker 4: would try and throw it to the spotty left that

193
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 4: I would be dropping off into.

194
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:51,959
Speaker 3: And it worked to the two to three times.

195
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 4: And the one time I did it against I think

196
00:08:55,440 --> 00:09:00,599
Speaker 4: it was the Cowboys and Troy Aikman. So Madden was

197
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 4: doing the game and I did what I was supposed

198
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,439
Speaker 4: to do, held up the guard, byron goes by, it

199
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 4: gets pressure, I back off.

200
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 3: He tries to dump it to.

201
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 4: Emmitt Smith and I picked it off, you know, and

202
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 4: and you know, unfortunately, you know, Troy was the one

203
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 4: who tackled me. But during the game we actually got

204
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 4: or I didn't because I didn't want to be embarrassed.

205
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 4: The producers who were producing at that time got the

206
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 4: call the game, and John Madden actually said on the

207
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 4: broadcast he said, well Gola got the pick.

208
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:36,679
Speaker 3: He said, look at him.

209
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 4: He's just standing there on the line getting blocked, not

210
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:41,959
Speaker 4: doing anything, and the ball comes right to him.

211
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 3: And I'm like that, John, what happened?

212
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 1: He would have made the old stud Gods team. I

213
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 1: can tell you that much.

214
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 3: I'm telling you. So two things came out of that.

215
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,559
Speaker 4: Number One, I was at a super Bowl and Chris

216
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 4: was there and my wife and we saw Madden, and

217
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 4: my wife actually said to John Madden, you were wrong

218
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 4: about my husband's seth.

219
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 1: John loved my wife, God bless.

220
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 3: Oh my god. But she tells this that John.

221
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:13,319
Speaker 4: John Madden, who I'm sure didn't remember it at all,

222
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:16,560
Speaker 4: but she made sure she told him. The other thing

223
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 4: was I'm saying on air when they're playing this to

224
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 4: mock me, which you and I didn't give a shit about.

225
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 4: I'm like, I'm telling you guys, I did the right thing,

226
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 4: and they're all all bullshit.

227
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,319
Speaker 3: We don't believe you. Madden knew you know.

228
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 4: So, and buddy so, Buddy Ryan was a coach, right,

229
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 4: so we called and I forgot where he was. At

230
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 4: this point. You might have still been coaching her out,

231
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:39,959
Speaker 4: maybe even with us. We got Rex Ryan on the show.

232
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 4: Rex Ryan obviously knows his dad's defenses, and we showed

233
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 4: him to play. You know, we said, Rex, here's the play.

234
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 4: You tell everybody. Did I do the right thing? Or

235
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,599
Speaker 4: was I getting blocked? He's like, you absolutely did the

236
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 4: right thing, grabbed the guard and dropped off and got

237
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 4: the pick.

238
00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:59,559
Speaker 3: He goes, Madden got that one wrong. You know, as

239
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:00,199
Speaker 3: far as Oh.

240
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:02,720
Speaker 4: You know, like I said, I still hear that voice

241
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:05,320
Speaker 4: of Madden. He's just standing on all on the scrimmers

242
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:09,320
Speaker 4: getting blocked and I'm like, shit, man, come on. So

243
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 4: that was that was a core memory of getting a

244
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:15,840
Speaker 4: pick and John because he's called more than a few

245
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 4: of my games. But man, what a legend. I don't

246
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 4: know of a player that when he when you were

247
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:24,960
Speaker 4: at in his presence, you didn't go up to him

248
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 4: and want to talk to him or see the Madden

249
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 4: Cruiser or you know, just just hang out with him

250
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:31,680
Speaker 4: and hear him talk football.

251
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 3: It was just the coolest.

252
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 1: Mike, I think some of the coolest things. And for

253
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,719
Speaker 1: people again, who just to give you the range of

254
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 1: John Madden here, not just a coach, not just a player,

255
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 1: a Hall of famer, okay, broadcaster and coach, he's an

256
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 1: NFL Hall of Famer, but just to give you the

257
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 1: range of John Madden. When I when I told my

258
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 1: family that John Madden had passed, my wife said, oh,

259
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 1: the guy from the Ace hardware commercials, and my daughter said, oh,

260
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 1: the guy who they named the video game after. And

261
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:04,439
Speaker 1: so he has a legacy because of that video game.

262
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 1: Mostly because of that video game that's going to endure

263
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 1: with people of all ages, Mike for a very very

264
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 1: long time.

265
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 3: Oh about Dob.

266
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 4: How many times do you think if younger people hear

267
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:17,320
Speaker 4: the name George Foreman. Oh yeah, the guy with the grill.

268
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 4: I mean, you know, it's but but it is, it

269
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:24,440
Speaker 4: is amazing. But but what's so impressive is is he

270
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 4: did all those different things. Great coach, he was a

271
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 4: great coach. Obviously, he was a great broadcaster, and then

272
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:32,080
Speaker 4: lent his name to that game, which was one of

273
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 4: the greatest things. And then obviously because of that, you know,

274
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 4: he's in movies and he's in commercials and gets all

275
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:42,320
Speaker 4: of that. But also because one of the things at

276
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 4: times to me, NFL games can be a little you know,

277
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:50,200
Speaker 4: cookie cutter and how they get called, you know, being

278
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 4: real professional and stuff. John Madden Man, I mean this

279
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 4: guy was boom bam, wham, you know, I mean he

280
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 4: was he was kind of the first one that really

281
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 4: did it and and nobody's really done it like that.

282
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:02,719
Speaker 3: And I'm not.

283
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,719
Speaker 4: Saying people should try and do it like that if

284
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 4: that's not the way you do it. But he was

285
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 4: just you could tell he just had a ball. He

286
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 4: just loved football. Him on that telestrator. Man drawn on

287
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:16,959
Speaker 4: the telestrator. God knows where he was going to draw times,

288
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:21,679
Speaker 4: but man, he brought the telestrator into popularity, being able

289
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:23,720
Speaker 4: to show you on the field what to do, and

290
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 4: just just his his throwing out words or lines as

291
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:30,080
Speaker 4: the play by play was saying something because he just

292
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 4: got excited about it. It was just natural for him.

293
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 4: I mean, he's as I said, I really think the

294
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:39,200
Speaker 4: best thing I can say he is about as big

295
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:42,080
Speaker 4: time a football guy as I've ever seen or met

296
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:42,560
Speaker 4: my life.

297
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:42,959
Speaker 3: Mike.

298
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 1: What was great about him is he knew more than

299
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 1: you did, but he put in layman's terms. I mean

300
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 1: perhaps the most layman terms with boom bat zap zick

301
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 1: and that was it like a guy hit a hole.

302
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 1: It was boom. But he knew all the analytics. He

303
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 1: knew more football than anyone else did. But he did

304
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:01,200
Speaker 1: it in a way that made you love them. You know,

305
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 1: sitting on your couch, Boom you made made you fall

306
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 1: in love with them.

307
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 3: I think you know.

308
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:07,959
Speaker 4: And again when you when you look at today, there

309
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 4: there are you know, people out there who call a

310
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:16,840
Speaker 4: game very naturally, but some will try and talk too technical.

311
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 4: Yes to show that I know a lot. Look at

312
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 4: how much I know I could talk to this coverage.

313
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 3: Or whatever where. Who wants to hear that shit? You know?

314
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 3: And at least that's my opinion.

315
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 4: Maybe some people do, but I think the majority of people,

316
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 4: I think they want to hear it. In Layman's terms,

317
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 4: they want to be like they're sitting at a bar

318
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 4: and the guy call them the game, and sitting right

319
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 4: next to him and just call the game.

320
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 3: Oh boom, just see that, you know what happened there?

321
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 4: A guy came around the corner there and came up here. Yeah,

322
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 4: it wasn't well you know, they were in the cover too,

323
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 4: or they started out here and then it was cloud

324
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 4: and they rolled and you.

325
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 3: Didn't hear none of that, you know.

326
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 4: I mean, he just he just kind of showed you

327
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 4: what happened on the screen and you and you got it,

328
00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 4: and you got it and you enjoyed it when he

329
00:14:58,840 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 4: did it.

330
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 3: It was a ball, Mike.

331
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 2: The thing that stood out for me was his enthusiasm

332
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 2: because a lot of guys do color and all they

333
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 2: do is they want to show how.

334
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 3: Much of the game they know. But with with John,

335
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 3: it just ooze through.

336
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 2: How excited he actually was to watch a big hit

337
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 2: or to watch a big play and to kind of

338
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 2: show you how it happened.

339
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 3: His enthusiasm was what was infectious.

340
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 4: So I think that and and that was natural, you know,

341
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 4: And and I think that's the best thing.

342
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 3: About him is you know, and that's what we do.

343
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 4: Well, you know, when you get into this business and

344
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 4: we all we all you know, I have been in

345
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 4: a long time, and I'll always remember my dad's words

346
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 4: to me, and I say him to my kids, and

347
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 4: they sound as basic a thing as ever, but it's

348
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 4: always just be yourself.

349
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 3: And I think I think John Madden epitomized that.

350
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 4: You know, he didn't try and put on an airs

351
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 4: for anybody, didn't try and put up a front for anybody.

352
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 3: When the microphone went on, he didn't change, you know,

353
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:02,480
Speaker 3: when you heard him in.

354
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 4: The booth and I'm talking to him outside of his

355
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 4: Madden Cruiser or you know, just just hanging out, it's

356
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 4: the same.

357
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 3: It's the same guy, you know, And I just appreciate that.

358
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 3: It's like one of.

359
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 4: Those Hey, you know, this is this is who I am,

360
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 4: and this is how I'm gonna do things.

361
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 3: If you like it, great, If you don't I'll go

362
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 3: find something else to do. You know, he didn't. He didn't.

363
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 4: He didn't say, well, I'm gonna change myself to fit

364
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 4: what you want so I can stay in this business forever.

365
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 3: You know. It's like, this is what I am.

366
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 4: Oh man, this shit, that's it, you know, And if

367
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 4: you like it, cool, If not, see you, I'm gone.

368
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 3: That's fine.

369
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 1: Well, since the majority of the people Mike are like me,

370
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 1: you and mikey aa, and very few are like Leviatar,

371
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 1: and we all fell in love with him, oh.

372
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 3: God, absolutely, absolutely.

373
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 1: And like the beauty of him is like when the

374
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 1: NFL exploded, Because Dan and I say this all the time.

375
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 1: Back in the eighties and nineties, jose Koseko was a

376
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 1: big deal. Barry Bonds, Roger, they were big deals. They

377
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 1: were some of the biggest stars. But then foot really exploded,

378
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:04,199
Speaker 1: and it exploded with John Madden and Pat summerl and

379
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 1: taking you through the biggest games every single week in

380
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 1: the NFL. And so as they grew, as the NFL

381
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:14,359
Speaker 1: grew in popularity, it really became America's pastime, which it

382
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 1: is now right it's its most popular sport. Those were

383
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:20,160
Speaker 1: the two voices that were kind of guiding you through

384
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:23,160
Speaker 1: the NFL as the NFL rised in popularity.

385
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 4: So there were to me, there were those two and

386
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:28,439
Speaker 4: one others and those And you're right because as I said,

387
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:32,479
Speaker 4: you know, John got into the business right right before

388
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:34,920
Speaker 4: I was getting into college, so it was a few

389
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:37,960
Speaker 4: years before he was actually calling games that I was

390
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,440
Speaker 4: in where you but like I said, I loved him

391
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 4: as a coach before that. But also for me growing up,

392
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 4: it was also Howard Cosell. If I could, if you

393
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 4: were allowed to stay up at halftime to hear Howard

394
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:54,439
Speaker 4: Cosell give you the halftime highlights, that was usually it.

395
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 3: We get to stay up to hear that before we

396
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:57,879
Speaker 3: had to go to bed, you know.

397
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:00,200
Speaker 4: And he was one and that was a guy that

398
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 4: didn't play ball, you know, but he was he's still

399
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:06,240
Speaker 4: he was just mesmerizing the way he was, you know,

400
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 4: and he made you want to watch. But then, like

401
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:11,560
Speaker 4: I said, John Madden was just man. You just listened

402
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:14,200
Speaker 4: to him and it was just it was pure football.

403
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 4: No matter how much the game has really changed over

404
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:20,359
Speaker 4: the years, I think there's always always a place for

405
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:24,359
Speaker 4: someone who's just a football guy, and that's what he was.

406
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 1: We'll get back to that in just a second to Madden.

407
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 1: But you mentioned George Forman and the Forman grill. Just

408
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 1: a quick blundy story, Mike. We had Hulk Hogan on, okay.

409
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:35,040
Speaker 1: So Hogan and Foreman have the same uh, the same agent. Okay.

410
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:41,160
Speaker 1: So when the someone called up Hulk's agent and Foreman's agent,

411
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 1: excuse me, and they keep that in Mike, and they

412
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:47,200
Speaker 1: that's holiday right there, okay. And they pitched the idea

413
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:52,400
Speaker 1: of a grill, okay, the Hogan grill. But Hogan wasn't

414
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 1: Hule okay, so his agent could not get a hold

415
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:56,719
Speaker 1: of Hulk Hogan.

416
00:18:57,480 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 3: No.

417
00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 1: So then he called George Foreman and said, George, I

418
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:04,440
Speaker 1: got an idea for you. It's a grill. They'll call

419
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 1: it the Forming Grill. Okay. And so Hogan's on the

420
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 1: air with us. He's saying, because I wasn't home, we

421
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 1: did have cell phones. Then Forman got the grill, and

422
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:15,280
Speaker 1: by the time I got back to my agent, all

423
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 1: he had left for me was a blender. Oh my god,

424
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 1: Hogan still has a blender in his house.

425
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 4: It's the only one, I was gonna say, the only

426
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 4: one ever sold. Right, So did I did? Did you

427
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:28,680
Speaker 4: have a Foreman grill.

428
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 1: I did I still have one? Are you kidding me?

429
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 5: Oh?

430
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:35,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely loved it. Oh that is that is so good.

431
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 1: But Mike, imagine that's supposed to be the Hogan grill.

432
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 4: Imagine how many Imagine how many things have happened like

433
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:45,680
Speaker 4: that where it was supposed to go to one thing,

434
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:50,679
Speaker 4: you know, and you know it's crazy. I would be

435
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 4: now listen, it all went well for Hulk. Imagine if

436
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:56,959
Speaker 4: it was someone who nothing went well for them after that, right,

437
00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 4: you know, and they were like, oh shit.

438
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 3: That was my one chance it worked out okay for home.

439
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm just thinking about all our listeners who think

440
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 2: George Foreman invented the grill.

441
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:11,200
Speaker 3: Oh, I know, you know there are people that are.

442
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 4: Like, wait a minute, Yeah, this is blowing my mind.

443
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:16,720
Speaker 3: You didn't invent the grill.

444
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 1: Hey, but mikey a, there are only people who know

445
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:20,119
Speaker 1: Golic as a broadcaster.

446
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:20,639
Speaker 3: That's it.

447
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:22,879
Speaker 1: They don't work for the Eagles in the nineties. That's

448
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:24,679
Speaker 1: the way it works for some of these guys.

449
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:27,159
Speaker 4: It's exactly right, It's exactly right. You just you just

450
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 4: know that going in. But you know what, it's Dad coached. Yeah,

451
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 4: I mean, but you're like, Okay, that's cool, just like

452
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 4: I'm sure it doesn't bug George.

453
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:37,119
Speaker 3: George George doing Okay.

454
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:39,239
Speaker 1: George is doing Okay. Hogan would have liked that grill, though,

455
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:39,880
Speaker 1: I'm telling.

456
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 3: You, I bet you would have. I bet you would have.

457
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, they've done done a few hundred million dollars in sales.

458
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:48,120
Speaker 4: Oh my god, I love to know how much I'm

459
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 4: not not the grill made, but George made off the grill.

460
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:53,920
Speaker 1: Mikeye will probably find that out. We've looked at it.

461
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:55,960
Speaker 1: Oh my god, it's gonna call your mind, mikey.

462
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:59,080
Speaker 3: Oh, it's got to be incredible. There should be a

463
00:20:59,119 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 3: Goldick grill.

464
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 1: They not put it on the poll. Should there be

465
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 1: a Golic grill?

466
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:05,720
Speaker 3: Yes? Or no? You know what, It's been done really

467
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 3: really by George. No, by George. No. But I still

468
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:10,360
Speaker 3: think I don't know.

469
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:13,399
Speaker 1: I think a Golic grille would sell. I mean, go ahead, Mike.

470
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 6: Yet one hundred and thirty eight million, that's what he made.

471
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 3: That's what he made. Yes, So I mean think about

472
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:23,680
Speaker 3: what he made.

473
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 4: Think about what he made in his boxing career as

474
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 4: opposed to what he made for that because Hulk Hogan

475
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:32,920
Speaker 4: wasn't home.

476
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 1: That's it, I mean, and cell phones were uninvented.

477
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:38,199
Speaker 3: Unbelievable.

478
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:41,879
Speaker 1: Wow, it's amazing. By the way me and mikey A

479
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,200
Speaker 1: were texting to each other while you were talking about Madden.

480
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 1: You got robbed not making so the Madden team. So

481
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 1: people know, Okay, it wasn't always the best players, although

482
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:54,000
Speaker 1: eight Man and Emmett Smith would make it off that

483
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 1: Reggie White would make it often because they were so great,

484
00:21:57,320 --> 00:21:59,879
Speaker 1: but it was also just guys that Madden liked that

485
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:02,119
Speaker 1: helped kind of fill in the gaps on a team.

486
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 1: And Mike Golick, you should have been one of those guys.

487
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:06,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, the gaps, Mike.

488
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 4: If I would have made that one year man, that

489
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:11,679
Speaker 4: would have been it for me.

490
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:13,439
Speaker 3: I mean, because that's what it is.

491
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 4: I mean, like you said, he picked stars, but a

492
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 4: lot of the guys with the lunch pale guys, you know,

493
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:21,720
Speaker 4: just just a guy that will play with a busted bone,

494
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 4: or a guy that's back when you were allowed to

495
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:25,639
Speaker 4: bleed on the field before you had to change your

496
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:28,919
Speaker 4: whole uniform. And you know, like I said, it just

497
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 4: it was you waited for that, Like I said, the

498
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 4: only downside is more people waited for the Pro Bowl

499
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:38,960
Speaker 4: because you normally had money connected to that, your contract

500
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:42,160
Speaker 4: on the Pro Bowl and not Madden. But man, if

501
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:45,280
Speaker 4: you made that, I'm telling you, people, I'm telling you

502
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 4: that was right in the wheelhouse. And when I was

503
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 4: playing that people players wanted so badly to be on

504
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 4: the All Madden team. Oh god, it was awesome. It

505
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:57,200
Speaker 4: was awesome watching the show every year when they picked

506
00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:58,639
Speaker 4: that team, just showing these guys.

507
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:00,679
Speaker 1: It was great, just between us. Were you upset that

508
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:02,399
Speaker 1: you never made it? Were there times where you thought, hey,

509
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:04,400
Speaker 1: I got a chance. Yeah, cause you're a blue guy,

510
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:06,239
Speaker 1: and that's what you are. You're a great guy. You're

511
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 1: a team guy.

512
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 3: I would have liked to God knows.

513
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:11,320
Speaker 4: There are times when I was bleeding, I made sure

514
00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 4: I put it on my uniform, you know, so it

515
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:14,520
Speaker 4: would be seen on my uniform.

516
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:16,880
Speaker 3: You know that helping.

517
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:19,639
Speaker 1: The votes put it on the pole. Did blood on

518
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:21,440
Speaker 1: your uniform help you make the Maden team?

519
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 3: Yeah? Oh I guarantee you it did. Oh my god.

520
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:28,199
Speaker 1: All right, Mike, Yeah, I don't know if you know

521
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 1: how to do poles or not, but I need that

522
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:30,359
Speaker 1: to be on the pole.

523
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:32,480
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm sending them to Billy.

524
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:34,960
Speaker 1: You send them to Billy, didn't Mike Gollet get robbed

525
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:36,320
Speaker 1: never making a Madden team?

526
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:36,840
Speaker 3: Yes or no?

527
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:40,600
Speaker 1: Okay? And did blood on your uniform help you make

528
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:41,359
Speaker 1: the Maden team?

529
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:43,119
Speaker 3: Yes or no?

530
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:45,880
Speaker 1: And listen dirt going on and anything else you can find.

531
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:48,639
Speaker 4: All I gotta say is for those that don't know

532
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,960
Speaker 4: about the All Madden Team, the beautiful thing of Google nowadays,

533
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:54,840
Speaker 4: google the All Madden Team and what it was about.

534
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 3: Man, I mean, it was the ship, all right, Sure.

535
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:00,359
Speaker 1: I want to do some college with the ed some

536
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 1: of NFL and then we'll get Don Micky A if

537
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:04,639
Speaker 1: you wouldn't mind look up a random Madden team. It

538
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:07,960
Speaker 1: just blurted out like at some point before we finish here,

539
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:09,919
Speaker 1: just so we can give the audience an idea. Mike

540
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 1: is right of what the Madden team was all about.

541
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:14,479
Speaker 1: It wasn't always the best players. It was his favorite

542
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 1: players essentially.

543
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, a lot of it was.

544
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:19,919
Speaker 1: That is what it was, so true, Uh, Mike, NFL

545
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 1: quickly here so you know, with COVID going on, Mike

546
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 1: and you and I discussed this is this good for

547
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,119
Speaker 1: the NFL? And you have the Vikings who are playing

548
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:30,240
Speaker 1: big games. Two games to go here still trying to

549
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 1: make the playoffs. You have Adam Field and who's now

550
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 1: on the COVID list, Dalvin Cook, who's now off the

551
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:37,679
Speaker 1: COVID list. Mike, this can't be good, Like this is

552
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:38,920
Speaker 1: not good for the NFL.

553
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:42,360
Speaker 4: Well, I mean well, well, on the one side, it's

554
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:43,879
Speaker 4: not going to By the way, I'll be calling this

555
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:46,240
Speaker 4: game for Westwood want I'm heading out the nice, nice

556
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:48,359
Speaker 4: cold Green Bay this weekend.

557
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:50,199
Speaker 1: We think we communicated before we did this.

558
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:52,000
Speaker 3: I mean, I know how about that he did it.

559
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:54,800
Speaker 4: I mean, listen, I was here in Arizona and I

560
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:58,159
Speaker 4: call the Arizona Colts game when the Colts didn't have

561
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:00,959
Speaker 4: three starters on the old line and lost a fourth

562
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:04,240
Speaker 4: one in Eric Fisher, and lost their tight end for

563
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:07,119
Speaker 4: the game and still beat Arizona. I mean that was

564
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 4: like ones against twos, and I couldn't believe they lost that.

565
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:11,680
Speaker 1: By the way, speaking of the Colt your buddy Frank

566
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 1: Reich will be on God Bless Football next week. How

567
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:14,199
Speaker 1: about that?

568
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:16,399
Speaker 3: Mike, there you go, cause.

569
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:19,880
Speaker 4: I'm talking about we came in same year, same year.

570
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:23,480
Speaker 3: His career was a little better than mine. I don't

571
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:23,919
Speaker 3: know about that.

572
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:28,439
Speaker 1: He won game like yeah, so I.

573
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 4: Think from the fact of maybe not seeing star players

574
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 4: at times, it's not good, but still, I mean, can

575
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:38,240
Speaker 4: you ask for anything better than week to week? I

576
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:41,320
Speaker 4: mean there are basically seven teams going for the last

577
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:44,359
Speaker 4: spot in the AFC. I mean we talk about this

578
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:47,000
Speaker 4: in college all the time, the top four. What about

579
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,280
Speaker 4: five six seven, Well, just thinking if it was the

580
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:51,720
Speaker 4: top four, what about five, six, seven, eight.

581
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 3: Nine, ten, eleven, if they all had a shot for

582
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 3: number four. I mean that's what we're talking about right now.

583
00:25:57,240 --> 00:26:00,439
Speaker 3: So and listen, just get in, get in.

584
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:02,439
Speaker 4: If you get in and you hit hit the healthy,

585
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:04,440
Speaker 4: if you get all your COVID players back.

586
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 3: And if you're healthy, who knows the run you could make.

587
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:10,800
Speaker 4: So from the fact of losing star players, yeah, it's

588
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:14,880
Speaker 4: not great, but the competitiveness because of it, I think

589
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:18,080
Speaker 4: is fantastic, and this year more than other.

590
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:20,439
Speaker 3: Like I said, I don't know how Arizona.

591
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:22,159
Speaker 4: Lost to you know, a bunch of you know, a

592
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 4: second string offensive line, but they did so kudos in

593
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:27,240
Speaker 4: the coach line for getting to done. How do the

594
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:31,280
Speaker 4: Chargers get spanked by Houston? I mean, you can't figure

595
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:34,119
Speaker 4: out these games. Only to know something we've been saying

596
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 4: forever that you can't overlook anybody. Better have your ass

597
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 4: ready or you're gonna get stung, because you never know

598
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:42,560
Speaker 4: what guys that are out of it are playing for.

599
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:44,880
Speaker 4: Some have the U haul hitched up to their car

600
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 4: ready to go. Some are playing for their next contract.

601
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 4: Some are maybe playing for their next team. So they're

602
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 4: playing for a lot of pride and self preservation to

603
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:56,040
Speaker 4: stay in the league.

604
00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:57,879
Speaker 3: So they're gonna play hard.

605
00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:00,359
Speaker 4: And you catch a team kind of slacking saying we

606
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 4: should beat these guys. You see what happens. You get

607
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 4: your butt beat all of a sudden, you know you're

608
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:06,280
Speaker 4: gonna be scrambling to make a.

609
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:09,000
Speaker 1: Playoff spot Mike, it's amazing. The Bengals who played the

610
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:11,399
Speaker 1: Chiefs this weekend, very exciting game, and the Chiefs are

611
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 1: a five point favorite on the road and Kansas City

612
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 1: appears to be back to being the Kansas City Chiefs,

613
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:18,880
Speaker 1: but they have a defense this time which is which

614
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:22,400
Speaker 1: is incredible. But the Bengals, Mike like, that's the shining

615
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 1: example of how you fix your organization with three drafts.

616
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:29,080
Speaker 1: Through the draft, with three picks, Joe Mixon, Joe Burrow,

617
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:32,480
Speaker 1: Jamar Chase, and the Bengals are fixed. I'm super excited

618
00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 1: for that game, Mike. Can you like, is Kansas City

619
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 1: the favorites in the AFC or is there too much

620
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:40,720
Speaker 1: parody right now for there to be really a favorite

621
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:42,600
Speaker 1: in the af in any conference for that matter.

622
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 4: No, I would say, you know, listen, how we started

623
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:46,480
Speaker 4: out the season.

624
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:47,240
Speaker 3: It seems like.

625
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:49,360
Speaker 4: It's how we're going to end up the season that

626
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 4: we all kind of gave the AFC East to the

627
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:55,320
Speaker 4: Buffalo Bills. Yet they were trying to give it away

628
00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:57,080
Speaker 4: and New England almost took it back. But I think

629
00:27:57,119 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 4: Buffalo is kind of right of the ship because they're

630
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 4: letting Josh Allen be Josh Allen. So I do think

631
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:04,439
Speaker 4: it's going to be the two of them again. But

632
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:06,720
Speaker 4: how can you not be impressed with what Cincinnati's doing?

633
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:08,800
Speaker 4: And you're right, and add another name, a young.

634
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 3: Player, T Higgins. T Higgins for you young kids out there,

635
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:14,480
Speaker 3: How well he catches the ball with his hands, doesn't

636
00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:17,359
Speaker 3: it with his body with his hands is so impressive.

637
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 3: What they're learning to do because they haven't done it

638
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:24,400
Speaker 3: for decades is win consistently. You know, you win a.

639
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:26,880
Speaker 4: Little bit and then you lay an egg. I did

640
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:31,240
Speaker 4: there that game that took Urban Meyer the wrong direction.

641
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:33,560
Speaker 4: It was in Cincinnati when Jacksonville went there, and that

642
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 4: was after that game when Urban went to his bar

643
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:38,360
Speaker 4: and Columbus and all that shit hit. But forgetting that

644
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:42,360
Speaker 4: Cincinnati was coming off a big win, Jacksonville hadn't won yet,

645
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:45,760
Speaker 4: and Jacksonville's winning that game fourteen to nothing at halftime.

646
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 3: Cincinnati is getting booed off the field by their own fans.

647
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 3: So they weren't. They came back to win that game.

648
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:52,440
Speaker 4: They scored on every drive in the second half, and

649
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:56,480
Speaker 4: they won it. But that's what they lack is the consistency.

650
00:28:57,040 --> 00:28:59,320
Speaker 4: One thing they have going for him. Obviously they're getting

651
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 4: great players. And two, these young players don't give a

652
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 4: shit about the past of the Cincinnati Bengals.

653
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 3: All the fans know about it.

654
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 4: All the fans always wait for the other shoe to drop,

655
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:11,680
Speaker 4: because it always has. We look good and then we suck.

656
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 4: We look good and then we suck. Well, these young

657
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 4: guys are like, we weren't here, then that's not our history.

658
00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:20,640
Speaker 4: You know, We're gonna make our own history here. So

659
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 4: the next step for them is consistently being good and

660
00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:27,440
Speaker 4: winning football games. And whether it's this year and they

661
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:30,240
Speaker 4: keep making a run or next year or the year after,

662
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:31,720
Speaker 4: because they're on the rise.

663
00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:32,720
Speaker 3: There's no doubt about it.

664
00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 4: But I think when we get down to it, it's

665
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:36,440
Speaker 4: gonna end up being what we thought in the beginning.

666
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 4: It's gonna be down to either Kansas City or Buffalo

667
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:40,120
Speaker 4: making out.

668
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 3: Of the AFC.

669
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 1: Mike, who do you like in the NFCN God?

670
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:47,600
Speaker 4: I mean, here we go again with green Bay, Right,

671
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:48,440
Speaker 4: it's hard not to me.

672
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:51,320
Speaker 3: It's hard not to love them.

673
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:53,680
Speaker 4: You gotta wonder about that, you know, the defense, that

674
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:56,800
Speaker 4: old line, how they've been playing through the injuries has

675
00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 4: been incredible.

676
00:29:57,840 --> 00:29:58,520
Speaker 3: But they've been.

677
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:02,479
Speaker 4: Doing it, but you know, where's the defense in all

678
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:04,719
Speaker 4: of this? Kenny Clark is one of the best interior alignment.

679
00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:07,400
Speaker 4: I love him, but I mean it's so tough to

680
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:08,240
Speaker 4: bet against him.

681
00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:10,360
Speaker 3: I mean, Aaron doesn't turn the ball over.

682
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:12,920
Speaker 4: But we saw last year Tampa go to green Bay

683
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 4: because green Bay could get the number one seat again

684
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:18,280
Speaker 4: and they beat him in green Bay.

685
00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 3: So you gotta think Tampa, you gotta think green Bay.

686
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:24,840
Speaker 4: Let me tell you what, if the Dallas Cowboys are healthy,

687
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 4: if they have everybody, they're going to be a force

688
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:30,800
Speaker 4: to be reckoned with as well, you know, and then

689
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 4: I think the Cardinals are fading. How about the Rams?

690
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 4: At the Rams play to their potential, you know that defense?

691
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:39,040
Speaker 4: My god, at times they don't look it, but boy,

692
00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:41,440
Speaker 4: oh boy, they should be great and offensively. You know,

693
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:43,680
Speaker 4: you got Cooper Cupp and what he's been doing has

694
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 4: been incredible. So I think the NFC is a little

695
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 4: deeper than the AFC as far as who can come

696
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 4: out of it.

697
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 1: Just going back to the Colts for a second, Mike,

698
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:54,080
Speaker 1: were you aware they called Philip Rivers because Carson Wentz

699
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:56,600
Speaker 1: is now on the COVID list. This is insane. Oh yeah,

700
00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:59,959
Speaker 1: my god, teams are just looking for quarterbacks, punters, kickers anything.

701
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:04,120
Speaker 4: New Orleans called Rivers last week after they called Breeze

702
00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 4: and they both said no. So yeah, no, it doesn't

703
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 4: shock me. These guys aren't gonna want to come in

704
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 4: for one or two games like that. Yeah, I mean

705
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:15,280
Speaker 4: it's it's the Colts man have gotten devastated with this.

706
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:17,960
Speaker 4: Now they're gonna get and one of their best players

707
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:20,960
Speaker 4: in Quitting Nelson back from it and Kolewinsky. I think

708
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:22,720
Speaker 4: the right guard is coming back as well, So that

709
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:26,240
Speaker 4: certainly helped but yeah, I mean, it's a crapshoot. I

710
00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:28,360
Speaker 4: try and do an NFL preview show every week for

711
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 4: Westwood One, and we have to wait till as late

712
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:34,440
Speaker 4: in the week as possible because we just don't know.

713
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:36,360
Speaker 3: Who's gonna end up having COVID or getting put on

714
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:36,760
Speaker 3: the list.

715
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:39,320
Speaker 1: I just picked against the Ravens thinking that Ian Book,

716
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:41,920
Speaker 1: your Notre Dame quarterback, was gonna be the quarterback again.

717
00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:44,440
Speaker 1: I just learned that little more Jacks is going to

718
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:46,080
Speaker 1: be back. He's hobbled, but he's going.

719
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:46,440
Speaker 3: To be back.

720
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:47,560
Speaker 1: And now I want to change the pack.

721
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 4: I mean, yeah, yeah, Ian had a tough go of it. Listen,

722
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:52,560
Speaker 4: it's old tough dovid.

723
00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:54,920
Speaker 1: It's the worst display of quarterback play I've ever seen

724
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 1: in my life.

725
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 3: Mike, Sorry, I mean eight listen, eight s. You can

726
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:05,200
Speaker 3: add some others. You're right, Yeah, I was gonna say, yeah, yeah, yeah, sorry.

727
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:05,880
Speaker 3: It was awful.

728
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:08,280
Speaker 4: As I said, you know, usually when you have a

729
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:10,200
Speaker 4: quarterback like that, you need help from the rest of

730
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:12,040
Speaker 4: your team. The old line didn't help a whole lot

731
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:14,200
Speaker 4: in this one, but it was Yeah, they got ugly,

732
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:15,600
Speaker 4: and they got ugly in a hurry.

733
00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 1: Mikey Am I reading correctly that Bob Stoops is coaching again.

734
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:22,240
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, Bob Stoop. Oh yeah.

735
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:26,560
Speaker 4: Bob Stoops actually talked about Lincoln Riley leaving. I mean

736
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:30,160
Speaker 4: because the Oklahoma fan base was losing their minds. He

737
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:33,080
Speaker 4: had a microphone somewhere and was saying, it will be

738
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:36,960
Speaker 4: a bump in the road, that's it. And everybody loves

739
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 4: Bob Soops and they're like, oh god, this is great.

740
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 4: But yes, he is coaching against Oregon. What a big

741
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:47,480
Speaker 4: Power five matchup Oklahoma and Oregon. They play tomorrow, I believe, Yeah,

742
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:48,960
Speaker 4: he's going to coach that one. He'll be on the

743
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:50,000
Speaker 4: sidelines for that game.

744
00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:52,840
Speaker 1: Mike, so, has anything changed for you in terms of

745
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:55,680
Speaker 1: the National semi finals or on Friday night New Year's Eve?

746
00:32:56,320 --> 00:33:01,640
Speaker 1: You have obviously the two games Alabama Cincinnati, Michigan and Georgia,

747
00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:03,520
Speaker 1: and we'll get to that second game, which I think

748
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:06,920
Speaker 1: everyone's looking forward to, the Michigan Georgia game. But what

749
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:10,040
Speaker 1: is Mike in your mind? What does Cincinnati have to

750
00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:13,200
Speaker 1: do to keep this game close and have a chance

751
00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:14,720
Speaker 1: to win at the end. What needs that?

752
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:22,640
Speaker 5: Well, listen, if Alabama play this is one of those

753
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:25,080
Speaker 5: If Alabama plays their best, and Cincinnati plays their best,

754
00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:26,040
Speaker 5: Alabama's gonna win.

755
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:29,600
Speaker 4: So they're gonna need to create on their side of

756
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:32,520
Speaker 4: the ball. If they could turn this thing into a

757
00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:38,080
Speaker 4: passing game. Cincinnati has two excellent cornerbacks. Excellent cornerbacks, so

758
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:42,000
Speaker 4: I'm really interested to see if Alabama has to throw

759
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:44,720
Speaker 4: the ball, how that goes, because I love those guys

760
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:48,920
Speaker 4: in coverage. But if they can create turnovers, that's going

761
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:51,920
Speaker 4: to be the key thing for him. They can't. It's

762
00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:54,760
Speaker 4: it's like New England waits for you to make a

763
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:56,960
Speaker 4: mistake and then they pounce on it. Well, the last

764
00:33:57,040 --> 00:33:59,720
Speaker 4: two weeks, New England has made the mistakes against the

765
00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:02,560
Speaker 4: cold Mac Jones. Ow's a couple of interceptions, a couple

766
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 4: more interceptions here. Two weeks ago, they get a punt

767
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:09,279
Speaker 4: block for a touchdown field goal kicker misses one for

768
00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:11,279
Speaker 4: the Colts, but they're offside so they get to kick

769
00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:14,759
Speaker 4: it again. They made the mistakes. That needs to be Alabama.

770
00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:19,839
Speaker 4: Alabama needs to make those mistakes that Cincinnati can capitalize.

771
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:22,800
Speaker 4: As Cincinnati makes the mistakes, it's going to be over early.

772
00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:26,919
Speaker 1: So Alabama, I mean, you expect Alabama to advance, right,

773
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:28,120
Speaker 1: I do.

774
00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:31,480
Speaker 3: Listen, Will it unbelievably shock me.

775
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:34,920
Speaker 4: No, because I've seen Alabama get points put on him

776
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:35,319
Speaker 4: this year.

777
00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:36,480
Speaker 3: Okay, I've seen it.

778
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:38,200
Speaker 4: I was at one of the games in Arkansas where

779
00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 4: they made a nice comeback. We saw A and M

780
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:43,439
Speaker 4: put in the forties on them. So if they're giving

781
00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:45,759
Speaker 4: up points to SINCEI, it's not going to shock me

782
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:47,759
Speaker 4: a ton because since he can put some points on the.

783
00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:49,080
Speaker 3: Board, So I will not.

784
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:53,359
Speaker 4: Saturday, if I was anywhere on air and Cincinnati won,

785
00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:55,719
Speaker 4: I wouldn't be going, oh my god, this is the

786
00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:57,000
Speaker 4: biggest upset of all time.

787
00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:58,080
Speaker 3: I would not be doing that.

788
00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:01,640
Speaker 1: No, Okay, I would be should get Georgia, I would

789
00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:04,399
Speaker 1: is the is the second game? Well, Mike, only because

790
00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:06,279
Speaker 1: we talked about Georgia, how great their defense is that

791
00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:09,640
Speaker 1: they played out. They're right, Alabama completely exposed that team.

792
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:13,160
Speaker 4: But that's if Alabama plays like you're right. We see

793
00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:16,200
Speaker 4: we see Alabama play where they haven't scored points, shut

794
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:18,600
Speaker 4: out in the first half against Auburn, and we've seen

795
00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:20,440
Speaker 4: him give up in the forties like they did against

796
00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:23,280
Speaker 4: Texas A and M. So which Alabama are you getting?

797
00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:26,279
Speaker 4: You get the Alabama that played Georgia? Oh shit, I

798
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 4: mean it's old, but as far as Georgia and Michigan,

799
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:32,920
Speaker 4: this could be a fast game because these two teams

800
00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:36,359
Speaker 4: want to run the ball and they're two excellent defenses.

801
00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:42,279
Speaker 4: Excellent defenses here, So I'm eight. Hutchinson rushing is going

802
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:45,160
Speaker 4: to be a real thing for me on what he's

803
00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:47,400
Speaker 4: able to do in the pressure he's able to put

804
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:50,160
Speaker 4: because TETs and Bennett's going to play, and Monk and

805
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:54,680
Speaker 4: the offensive coordinator talked about saying he believes Sets and

806
00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:56,520
Speaker 4: Bennett gives us the best chance to win.

807
00:35:56,960 --> 00:35:59,640
Speaker 3: Well, let me say this, if there's any kind of

808
00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:01,080
Speaker 3: strung at all, JT.

809
00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:03,239
Speaker 4: Daniels, all of a sudden, we'll be giving them the

810
00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:05,560
Speaker 4: best chance to win. He's saying that about Stets and

811
00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:07,360
Speaker 4: Bennet because Sets and Bette's going to start.

812
00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:10,160
Speaker 3: But when it's you win, you move on. You lose,

813
00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:10,840
Speaker 3: you're done.

814
00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:13,680
Speaker 4: If your guy's struggling at all, or you need a

815
00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:15,760
Speaker 4: spark somewhere at all, you're gonna.

816
00:36:15,560 --> 00:36:17,359
Speaker 3: Make that change. And JT.

817
00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:19,960
Speaker 4: Daniels started the season as the start of there until

818
00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:23,520
Speaker 4: he got hurt, So that would be another interesting one

819
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:23,759
Speaker 4: to me.

820
00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:25,640
Speaker 3: But I'm still amazed with Harball.

821
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:28,839
Speaker 4: I mean, we're talking about my god, how long is Harball.

822
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:29,400
Speaker 3: Going to be at Michigan.

823
00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:32,719
Speaker 4: He's barely beat Michigan State, he's not beaten Ohio State,

824
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:35,279
Speaker 4: and then in one year he takes care of all

825
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:38,439
Speaker 4: that and wins a Big Ten championship and gets into

826
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:41,840
Speaker 4: the playoffs. So pretty amazing for him. I do like

827
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:45,319
Speaker 4: Georgia in this one, if nothing else. I'm not one

828
00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:48,040
Speaker 4: of those that says, oh, they lost, it was good

829
00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:49,120
Speaker 4: for him that they lost.

830
00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:51,680
Speaker 3: You know, now they'll learned. But one thing you can

831
00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:53,640
Speaker 3: do is learn from your losses.

832
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:56,839
Speaker 4: And there's no doubt they can learn some things from

833
00:36:56,920 --> 00:37:00,120
Speaker 4: their loss to Alabama that they could try and fix

834
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:03,839
Speaker 4: before the Michigan game. Michigan is not as explosive as

835
00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:08,400
Speaker 4: Alabama can be. About Michigan's defense is great and Georgia's

836
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:09,200
Speaker 4: defense is great.

837
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:12,240
Speaker 1: You think Georgia matches up better with Alabama after already

838
00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:14,839
Speaker 1: seeing the result of that game, because I'd rather see

839
00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:16,560
Speaker 1: Michigan just because it's a different matchup.

840
00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:19,279
Speaker 4: You know, Oh oh, I think a lot of people

841
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:22,680
Speaker 4: would love Michigan and Cincinnati and say we're tired of

842
00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:23,560
Speaker 4: the fucking SEC.

843
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:26,280
Speaker 3: You know, give us, give us anything.

844
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:28,400
Speaker 1: Everyone except the network, Okay.

845
00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:29,600
Speaker 3: Well exactly.

846
00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:34,480
Speaker 4: Well, listen, listen, if for some reason it was Cincinnati Michigan, the.

847
00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:37,160
Speaker 3: Rating would still be high. It would still be a

848
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:39,920
Speaker 3: high rating. Football still rates no matter what.

849
00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:43,080
Speaker 4: And I think so many people would love that unless

850
00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:46,279
Speaker 4: you're you know, Greg Sanky or you know one of

851
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:49,439
Speaker 4: the two teams in the SEC uh that that you'd

852
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:52,799
Speaker 4: hate it. But I just don't see that happening. Would

853
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:55,919
Speaker 4: wouldn't stun me. But I don't see both of them

854
00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:56,920
Speaker 4: losing nothing, all right.

855
00:37:56,800 --> 00:37:59,240
Speaker 1: But you think the better matchup is Georgia for Alabama?

856
00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:03,000
Speaker 1: You think the better match Georgia or Michigan against Alabama

857
00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:05,719
Speaker 1: is Georgia, Right, you think that's the test? Yes, that's

858
00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:07,879
Speaker 1: what would Georgia have to do differently if they played

859
00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:09,640
Speaker 1: them again? Like, what would you advise them to do

860
00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:11,760
Speaker 1: differently that they didn't do in the first game?

861
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:14,200
Speaker 4: Well wherever they got, I mean, they got exposed on

862
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:17,560
Speaker 4: that defense, which was stunning to me. And you talk

863
00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:19,799
Speaker 4: to some of their defensive players and they said, they

864
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:22,320
Speaker 4: see what happened in that game, and they've they've learned

865
00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:23,200
Speaker 4: from it and they think.

866
00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:24,160
Speaker 3: They have the fixes in it.

867
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:27,600
Speaker 4: In all honesty still, and we can sit here and

868
00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:30,960
Speaker 4: talk about game plan and all all the game plan

869
00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:31,719
Speaker 4: you want.

870
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:33,880
Speaker 3: The chess match to this, the chess match to that.

871
00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:36,359
Speaker 4: The bottom line when you're watching some of that, if

872
00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:39,920
Speaker 4: you go back and watch that game, players just got

873
00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:45,360
Speaker 4: beat at the end of the day. From a lineman standpoint,

874
00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:48,440
Speaker 4: I line up over an offensive lineman. My job is

875
00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:51,520
Speaker 4: to beat him. His job is to block me and

876
00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:54,280
Speaker 4: make me trade one for one who wins the battle.

877
00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:57,360
Speaker 4: If enough players on the offensive side win the battle,

878
00:38:57,680 --> 00:39:00,279
Speaker 4: you can win the play. So we could we talk

879
00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:02,600
Speaker 4: about game plan. We will, because that's what we do.

880
00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:04,440
Speaker 4: We break down game plan and what to do here,

881
00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:05,120
Speaker 4: what to do there.

882
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:09,000
Speaker 3: But at some point, that's your guy. Take care of

883
00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:12,600
Speaker 3: your guy. That's your zone. Don't drift out of your zone.

884
00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:13,120
Speaker 3: You know.

885
00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:16,080
Speaker 4: If a quarterback makes a perfect throw sometimes and everything

886
00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:16,920
Speaker 4: you can do about it.

887
00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:19,520
Speaker 3: So a lot of us put on game plan and

888
00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:23,160
Speaker 3: I get it. I get it. It's unbelievably important. But

889
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:25,279
Speaker 3: once you put a game plan in, the game plan

890
00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:28,000
Speaker 3: relies on you that executing that game plan. You can

891
00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:29,640
Speaker 3: have the greatest game plan in the world.

892
00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:32,120
Speaker 4: If your players don't execute it or the other team

893
00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:34,840
Speaker 4: stops you from executing it, who gives a shit, you know,

894
00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:37,799
Speaker 4: it doesn't matter. So it comes down to matchups, and

895
00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:40,840
Speaker 4: I think the best matchups on the field.

896
00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:42,200
Speaker 3: Would be Georgia and Alabama.

897
00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:45,480
Speaker 6: Mike John Madden wasn't the only one we lost in

898
00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:51,480
Speaker 6: the football community. Our former colleague Jeff Dickerson tragically, terrible

899
00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:55,319
Speaker 6: passed away from cancer just two years after his wife did.

900
00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:59,279
Speaker 6: Actually that one, actually I produced Jeff for a long time.

901
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:01,480
Speaker 6: That actually kind of shook me a little bit, but

902
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:06,160
Speaker 6: was wondering, you know, what were your interactions with Jeff.

903
00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:09,120
Speaker 3: Oh, you know, probably not as many as yours.

904
00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:11,520
Speaker 4: I obviously knew him and have worked with him and

905
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:16,480
Speaker 4: around him. Just one of the nicest guys, as you

906
00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:18,520
Speaker 4: know you can attest to Mike Yay, just.

907
00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:21,640
Speaker 3: One of the genuinely nice. It didn't do it.

908
00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:24,160
Speaker 4: For any other reason of the fact that he was

909
00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:27,319
Speaker 4: a nice guy, but you know, and he battled this

910
00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:30,759
Speaker 4: before and he's battled it again and unfortunately passed. But

911
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:33,120
Speaker 4: as you mentioned, his wife just a couple of years ago,

912
00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:35,120
Speaker 4: they have an eleven month all right, I mean eleven

913
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:40,080
Speaker 4: year old son. I mean just just I can't I

914
00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:45,200
Speaker 4: can't even fathom that for that's that child.

915
00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:47,440
Speaker 3: But as far as Jeff.

916
00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:50,440
Speaker 4: I mean you always got to smile out of him,

917
00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:53,440
Speaker 4: always had a nice thing to say, great work, partner,

918
00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:56,239
Speaker 4: didn't didn't care about the being in the spotlight.

919
00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:58,640
Speaker 3: Always worked well with everybody.

920
00:40:58,160 --> 00:41:01,240
Speaker 4: And just just just tough, tough news.

921
00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:04,600
Speaker 3: Another guy that always said yes, yeah.

922
00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:07,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, no. He he was a wonderful guy. And if

923
00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:10,200
Speaker 1: people want to help his family out, help his son out.

924
00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:13,040
Speaker 1: There is a GoFundMe that is set up Parker's Fund

925
00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:15,960
Speaker 1: is what it's called awesome amazing, I.

926
00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:19,719
Speaker 4: Mean that is Listen it does and listen, we know

927
00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:22,120
Speaker 4: no amount of money in the world can replace what

928
00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:25,319
Speaker 4: Parker lost. We obviously we understand that, but you know

929
00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:27,040
Speaker 4: it's the way we can all help.

930
00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:27,319

949
00:42:08,880 --> 00:42:10,560
Speaker 1: anything that you want to just get out and get

950
00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:12,279
Speaker 1: off your chest, get out there so the people know.

951
00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:16,279
Speaker 4: Well, I would just say listen for those that knew him,

952
00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:18,279
Speaker 4: or listen to him.

953
00:42:18,680 --> 00:42:20,640
Speaker 3: They know already, they know, and.

954
00:42:20,560 --> 00:42:23,920
Speaker 4: I was so fortunate to grow up and watching him

955
00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:27,120
Speaker 4: as a coach and then and then meeting him and

956
00:42:27,239 --> 00:42:30,280
Speaker 4: having broadcast my games and meet him and talk to him.

957
00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:32,120
Speaker 3: I would say, because.

958
00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:34,600
Speaker 4: We're in the era where you can if you don't

959
00:42:34,640 --> 00:42:36,960
Speaker 4: know a lot about him, as I said, we have

960
00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:38,520
Speaker 4: this beautiful thing that's Google.

961
00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:41,040
Speaker 3: You can read about him. You can see highlights with him.

962
00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:43,080
Speaker 4: You're not going to get to know the full man

963
00:42:43,120 --> 00:42:44,640
Speaker 4: that way, but at least you're going to get to

964
00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:47,120
Speaker 4: know some of what we're talking about.

965
00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:48,520
Speaker 3: And just just just.

966
00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:51,239
Speaker 4: The natural way he called the game, and just how

967
00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:55,120
Speaker 4: much funny had I I'd love for all of football again.

968
00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:57,480
Speaker 4: That was his style and everybody has a different style.

969
00:42:57,520 --> 00:43:00,520
Speaker 4: But I think I'll just end it the way I

970
00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:03,080
Speaker 4: started it. You know, he's about as as much a

971
00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:05,600
Speaker 4: football guy as I have ever met in my life.

972

Speaker 4: don't need him, I don't want them. We get him

977
00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:16,640
Speaker 4: for everybody else I don't. I don't need anything I have.

Speaker 4: I have everything I need, so so I'm good there.

979

1021
00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:11,160
Speaker 1: you goats NFL only. I picked all the bowl games,

1022
00:45:11,239 --> 00:45:14,239
Speaker 1: last two episodes of God Bless Football, all of them,

1023

Speaker 1: and I am on fire. You are welcome, Happy holidays,

1024
00:45:17,560 --> 00:45:20,520
Speaker 1: Happy New Year. Let's get to this week's picks. As

1025
00:45:20,560 --> 00:45:24,040
Speaker 1: we enter week seventeen in the NFL, just two weeks remaining,

1026
00:45:24,440 --> 00:45:27,719
Speaker 1: season is flying by. I got a six pack of

1027
00:45:27,760 --> 00:45:31,560
Speaker 1: picks for you. How about that Bengals plus five. They're

1028
00:45:31,600 --> 00:45:35,040
Speaker 1: taking on the Chiefs Cincinnati at home. The Chiefs win

1029
00:45:35,120 --> 00:45:37,200
Speaker 1: the game. They win it by a field goal. That

1030
00:45:37,280 --> 00:45:40,799
Speaker 1: means Cincinnati covers. Listen, the Chiefs are starting to look

1031
00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:42,640
Speaker 1: like the team we expected them to look like the

1032
00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:46,320
Speaker 1: entire season. And no one, I mean no one except

1033
00:45:46,320 --> 00:45:49,000
Speaker 1: maybe Joe Burrow expected the Bengals to be this good

1034
00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:52,120
Speaker 1: this soon. But here we are. The Chiefs win the game.

1035
00:45:52,239 --> 00:45:54,879
Speaker 1: They win it by a field goal. The Bengals cover

1036
00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:58,400
Speaker 1: the spread. Dolphins perhaps the hottest team in the NFL.

1037
00:45:58,520 --> 00:46:01,200
Speaker 1: They're taking on the Titans, all the road. Titans three

1038
00:46:01,200 --> 00:46:03,680
Speaker 1: and a half point favorites. I have the Dolphins winning

1039
00:46:03,719 --> 00:46:07,560
Speaker 1: the game outright. They win by four points. The Chargers

1040
00:46:07,680 --> 00:46:11,960
Speaker 1: at home take it on Vic Fangio Bangs and the Broncos.

1041
00:46:12,040 --> 00:46:14,960
Speaker 1: The Chargers minus five and a half. The Chargers need

1042
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:17,520
Speaker 1: the game, some of the Broncos. Chargers are better. They

1043
00:46:17,560 --> 00:46:20,840
Speaker 1: win by ten points. The Rams taking on the Ravens.

1044
00:46:20,920 --> 00:46:23,160
Speaker 1: Both teams need this game. I have no idea who's

1045
00:46:23,200 --> 00:46:26,400
Speaker 1: playing quarterback for the Ravens. Nut no idea. I know

1046
00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:29,320
Speaker 1: who's playing quarterback for the Rams. His name is Matthew Stafford.

1047
00:46:29,400 --> 00:46:31,840
Speaker 1: At least as of right now when I started to

1048
00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:34,480
Speaker 1: tape this. The Rams are minus three and a half.

1049
00:46:34,520 --> 00:46:40,120
Speaker 1: The Rams win by seven points. We go to Pittsburgh

1050
00:46:40,560 --> 00:46:44,400
Speaker 1: in perhaps Ben Roethlisberger's final game at Heinz Field. The

1051
00:46:44,440 --> 00:46:47,719
Speaker 1: Steelers taking on the Brown Steelers are getting three and

1052
00:46:47,719 --> 00:46:50,720
Speaker 1: a half points at home. They ain't losing Big Ben's

1053
00:46:50,719 --> 00:46:53,840
Speaker 1: final game at Heinz Field. The Steelers, who always figure

1054
00:46:53,840 --> 00:46:56,000
Speaker 1: out a way to win these games, regardless of how

1055
00:46:56,080 --> 00:46:59,359
Speaker 1: bad they looked a week ago. The Steelers getting three

1056
00:46:59,400 --> 00:47:02,040
Speaker 1: and a half point at home, They win the game

1057
00:47:02,680 --> 00:47:07,080
Speaker 1: by a field goal, and finally we go Where are

1058
00:47:07,080 --> 00:47:09,799
Speaker 1: we going? Where am I going? I'm figuring this out

1059
00:47:09,920 --> 00:47:12,759
Speaker 1: as I do it. No, I'm not yes, I M no,

1060
00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:16,040
Speaker 1: I'm not yes, I am. We go to Indianapolis. The

1061
00:47:16,040 --> 00:47:19,839
Speaker 1: Colts minus seven take it on the Raiders. Raiders need

1062
00:47:19,840 --> 00:47:22,759
Speaker 1: this game badly, so do the Colts. Raiders need it more.

1063
00:47:23,120 --> 00:47:26,360
Speaker 1: The Colts win, the Raiders keep it closed. The Colts

1064
00:47:26,400 --> 00:47:30,160
Speaker 1: win by a point. How about that, Raiders cover the spread.

1065
00:47:30,480 --> 00:47:33,440
Speaker 1: I'm going six to zero this week. Good luck everyone,

1066
00:47:33,560 --> 00:47:37,400
Speaker 1: and again happy New Year and happy Holidays from everyone

1067
00:47:37,560 --> 00:47:40,279
Speaker 1: here at the Dan Levotard Show within Stugatts.

1068
00:47:40,480 --> 00:47:41,400
Speaker 3: God bless football.
