The historical knowledge of the 143 00:06:34,706 --> 00:06:40,546 Speaker 3: young podcaster, sports talk show host media personality is a disaster. 144 00:06:41,466 --> 00:06:43,426 Speaker 2: I don't know how you're going to solve that. 145 00:06:43,986 --> 00:06:47,426 Speaker 3: You know when and I love Olasky, but Dan o'loski, 146 00:06:47,466 --> 00:06:50,026 Speaker 3: who I love, good guy despite me. I comment this 147 00:06:50,066 --> 00:06:53,146 Speaker 3: week when he didn't put Joe Montana his top five 148 00:06:53,146 --> 00:06:55,186 Speaker 3: of all time quarterbacks, I mean, come on, I mean 149 00:06:55,226 --> 00:06:57,986 Speaker 3: he's five and four and owen super Bowls, three MVPs, 150 00:06:58,026 --> 00:07:00,986 Speaker 3: eleven touchdowns and no interceptions. And even that's not that 151 00:07:01,146 --> 00:07:03,946 Speaker 3: long ago. It's in the early eighties. So if you 152 00:07:04,146 --> 00:07:07,226 Speaker 3: if that is too long for the young guys, and 153 00:07:07,346 --> 00:07:08,826 Speaker 3: how the hell is I know Graham going to be 154 00:07:08,866 --> 00:07:12,026 Speaker 3: in there, who was in ten straight championship games between 155 00:07:12,066 --> 00:07:14,986 Speaker 3: nineteen forty five and nineteen fifty five, So it's a 156 00:07:15,066 --> 00:07:17,546 Speaker 3: lost start. I don't care if they, I don't care 157 00:07:17,546 --> 00:07:20,066 Speaker 3: what the young fan thinks. I'm going to bring that 158 00:07:20,186 --> 00:07:23,386 Speaker 3: up constantly. When somebody dies. They always call me that 159 00:07:23,466 --> 00:07:25,906 Speaker 3: I do great with dead guys, with old guys who 160 00:07:26,026 --> 00:07:28,346 Speaker 3: dropped dead, because I always put Ernie your corsion or 161 00:07:28,386 --> 00:07:29,026 Speaker 3: somebody like that. 162 00:07:29,906 --> 00:07:32,666 Speaker 2: I always do that. I do it for all the sports. 163 00:07:33,026 --> 00:07:35,826 Speaker 3: I specifically do it for football with Ernie, but I 164 00:07:35,906 --> 00:07:39,546 Speaker 3: do with baseball too, and I you know, it's my childhood. 165 00:07:39,586 --> 00:07:43,306 Speaker 3: And since my childhood in sports is significant, you know 166 00:07:43,546 --> 00:07:45,906 Speaker 3: when I was eleven your age, when you were listening 167 00:07:45,946 --> 00:07:48,266 Speaker 3: to Mike and myself. If it means something to me, 168 00:07:48,306 --> 00:07:49,826 Speaker 3: I'm going to do it. And that's why there is 169 00:07:49,826 --> 00:07:52,306 Speaker 3: to it. And since I'm sixty three going on sixty 170 00:07:52,306 --> 00:07:55,826 Speaker 3: four years of age, you know, and still doing this. 171 00:07:56,306 --> 00:07:59,946 Speaker 3: If somebody died who I fifty years ago loved and 172 00:07:59,986 --> 00:08:02,146 Speaker 3: now he's dead, I'm going to talk about it. And 173 00:08:02,186 --> 00:08:03,866 Speaker 3: if you don't like it, all right, I'll live with it. 174 00:08:04,106 --> 00:08:05,986 Speaker 3: But the key to it is, if you're a talk 175 00:08:06,026 --> 00:08:09,986 Speaker 3: show host, sell it. If it means something to you 176 00:08:10,426 --> 00:08:14,066 Speaker 3: as a fan and you're emotional about it and I'm 177 00:08:14,106 --> 00:08:18,266 Speaker 3: passionate about it, you can convince the audience that it 178 00:08:18,306 --> 00:08:19,386 Speaker 3: means something to them. 179 00:08:19,746 --> 00:08:21,066 Speaker 2: So that's that's my approach. 180 00:08:21,106 --> 00:08:24,146 Speaker 3: So if it means something that Christopher Russo when you 181 00:08:24,146 --> 00:08:27,226 Speaker 3: know Jim Brown dies, well then you know, God done it. 182 00:08:27,266 --> 00:08:28,826 Speaker 3: If it means something to me, I'm going to tell 183 00:08:28,866 --> 00:08:32,146 Speaker 3: you about it, and my enthusiasm will hopefully convince you 184 00:08:32,186 --> 00:08:34,306 Speaker 3: that should be mentioned and it will mean something to you. 185 00:08:34,586 --> 00:08:38,386 Speaker 1: That's the first.

There'll be 340 00:15:00,826 --> 00:15:03,626 Speaker 3: some NBA or college basketball, but getting this Sunday at 341 00:15:03,666 --> 00:15:07,146 Speaker 3: six thirty is a very difficult proper position. It's a 342 00:15:07,186 --> 00:15:09,866 Speaker 3: long day in the East before you get to the game, 343 00:15:10,346 --> 00:15:13,466 Speaker 3: so that's a problem. You gotta kill the day per se. 344 00:15:13,986 --> 00:15:17,746 Speaker 3: But I know on Monday will be easy, Tuesday will 345 00:15:17,786 --> 00:15:20,226 Speaker 3: be easy, and then it will be a little slow. 346 00:15:20,346 --> 00:15:22,386 Speaker 3: From a sports talk standpoint. 347 00:15:21,986 --> 00:15:23,026 Speaker 2: You have to live with it. 348 00:15:23,066 --> 00:15:23,466 Speaker 4: We'll do it. 349 00:15:23,466 --> 00:15:24,346 Speaker 2: We want that I do. 350 00:15:25,826 --> 00:15:28,386 Speaker 1: And we do a little parade talk Wednesday.

And that's 369 00:16:18,146 --> 00:16:20,426 Speaker 3: one of the reasons why I tune out. I can't 370 00:16:20,466 --> 00:16:23,346 Speaker 3: deal with six guys talking about the same game for 371 00:16:23,386 --> 00:16:24,706 Speaker 3: four and a half five hours. 372 00:16:24,746 --> 00:16:26,466 Speaker 2: It's way, way, way too much. 373 00:16:26,586 --> 00:16:28,986 Speaker 3: And I'd say it pet peeve of mine and I 374 00:16:29,066 --> 00:16:32,146 Speaker 3: do it all the time with the postgame, and it's 375 00:16:32,186 --> 00:16:36,186 Speaker 3: the network NFI network, and it's also ESPN, and ESPN 376 00:16:36,266 --> 00:16:40,586 Speaker 3: did this after the Lions game. They went to Campbell 377 00:16:40,986 --> 00:16:44,626 Speaker 3: and they cut out before Campbell talked about the missfield. 378 00:16:44,746 --> 00:16:47,626 Speaker 3: Why do you go for the field goals? 379 00:16:47,106 --> 00:16:47,226 Speaker 5: Now? 380 00:16:47,666 --> 00:16:50,986 Speaker 3: Hold on, hold on, hold on, that's what America wants 381 00:16:51,026 --> 00:16:54,146 Speaker 3: to know right now. Why did he opt not to 382 00:16:54,266 --> 00:16:56,986 Speaker 3: kick two field goals in the second half on fourth down, 383 00:16:57,426 --> 00:16:59,706 Speaker 3: and they did not go to the SoundBite of him 384 00:16:59,706 --> 00:17:04,226 Speaker 3: answering that question and when they losing coach, especially when 385 00:17:04,226 --> 00:17:06,906 Speaker 3: he gets to that microphone after the game Sunday. 386 00:17:07,106 --> 00:17:10,106 Speaker 2: I want to hear the press conference. Okay, I don't. 387 00:17:09,946 --> 00:17:12,826 Speaker 3: Need to see Steve Young or anybody else babbling about it. 388 00:17:13,026 --> 00:17:14,746 Speaker 2: Booger. I love the guys. 389 00:17:15,146 --> 00:17:17,746 Speaker 3: I want to see the freaking press conference that goes 390 00:17:17,746 --> 00:17:20,346 Speaker 3: for you too. About network, I get it, Show me 391 00:17:20,426 --> 00:17:23,186 Speaker 3: the people on the press conference, the losing coach. 392 00:17:23,226 --> 00:17:24,506 Speaker 2: I want to hear the questions. 393 00:17:24,666 --> 00:17:26,786 Speaker 3: I want to hear ten straight minutes of it, and 394 00:17:26,826 --> 00:17:28,746 Speaker 3: they refuse to give it to you, and it drives 395 00:17:28,786 --> 00:17:33,266 Speaker 3: me absolutely. That's not having a feel of the American 396 00:17:33,346 --> 00:17:38,066 Speaker 3: football fan in that scenario. Losing coach off every big 397 00:17:38,106 --> 00:17:42,466 Speaker 3: event as a fan is essential, and too many producers 398 00:17:42,506 --> 00:17:45,306 Speaker 3: don't understand that, and they cut out of it before 399 00:17:45,306 --> 00:17:45,866 Speaker 3: you get. 400 00:17:45,706 --> 00:17:47,786 Speaker 2: The gist of what the losing coach has to say. 401 00:17:48,146 --> 00:17:51,426 Speaker 1: I think one of the coolest things of the NFC 402 00:17:51,666 --> 00:17:54,306 Speaker 1: AFC Championship games and the Super Bowl is that a 403 00:17:54,346 --> 00:17:56,946 Speaker 1: lot of times on camera and sometimes I remember it 404 00:17:56,946 --> 00:18:00,506 Speaker 1: was Aaron Andrews A couple times and it was Chris 405 00:18:00,546 --> 00:18:03,346 Speaker 1: Meyers one time that I gotta think Wolfson does the winner, 406 00:18:03,346 --> 00:18:06,106 Speaker 1: and then Evan Washburn I guess on Steia. I like 407 00:18:06,146 --> 00:18:08,786 Speaker 1: when they interview the losing coach in the locker room 408 00:18:08,826 --> 00:18:10,706 Speaker 1: right after the game, and you've got the that's a good, 409 00:18:10,986 --> 00:18:14,826 Speaker 1: that's good, but again not as promoted as often as Hey, 410 00:18:14,946 --> 00:18:16,546 Speaker 1: after this, we're gonna get back to the guys in 411 00:18:16,586 --> 00:18:18,026 Speaker 1: the studio. They're gonna break down the game. 412 00:18:19,026 --> 00:18:22,426 Speaker 3: And there's too many examples where the questions in that 413 00:18:22,626 --> 00:18:24,666 Speaker 3: spot they're generic. 414 00:18:25,386 --> 00:18:27,666 Speaker 2: If somebody blows the game, I got to hear it. 415 00:18:27,866 --> 00:18:28,786 Speaker 2: Get specific. 416 00:18:28,866 --> 00:18:32,306 Speaker 3: They're afraid of getting them aggravated and everything else. Get specific. 417 00:18:32,346 --> 00:18:34,746 Speaker 3: And I know it's a difficult job. You got somebody 418 00:18:34,786 --> 00:18:37,426 Speaker 3: in your headset job and you're crazy, but you know, 419 00:18:38,146 --> 00:18:44,266 Speaker 3: for instance, when Mahomes beat the Bills, yep okay had 420 00:18:44,306 --> 00:18:45,426 Speaker 3: him on the field. 421 00:18:46,026 --> 00:18:49,626 Speaker 2: The first thing they asked, well, how about Baltimore? Even 422 00:18:49,626 --> 00:18:51,386 Speaker 2: the second game. 423 00:18:51,826 --> 00:18:54,506 Speaker 3: I don't want to hear about the ravens now I know, Sibby, 424 00:18:55,226 --> 00:18:58,106 Speaker 3: I'm not interested talk about the first pass in the 425 00:18:58,146 --> 00:19:00,266 Speaker 3: third quarter when Scottling made a big catch on the 426 00:19:00,346 --> 00:19:01,546 Speaker 3: right sideline. 427 00:19:01,106 --> 00:19:03,226 Speaker 1: First time in the season. He had two catches for 428 00:19:03,306 --> 00:19:05,906 Speaker 1: more than thirty yards and heldus Scanley, who mahomes his 429 00:19:06,026 --> 00:19:08,586 Speaker 1: public supported throughout Like that's a cool story. 430 00:19:08,786 --> 00:19:10,786 Speaker 3: It's a good one, you know, talk about the idea 431 00:19:10,826 --> 00:19:12,586 Speaker 3: you want a road game in Buffalo, the fact that 432 00:19:12,626 --> 00:19:15,346 Speaker 3: you heard that you couldn't win, and there's not enough 433 00:19:15,386 --> 00:19:18,706 Speaker 3: of that going on, and it drives me absolutely crazy. 434 00:19:18,746 --> 00:19:20,146 Speaker 2: And boy, what a bet I had. 435 00:19:20,466 --> 00:19:23,026 Speaker 3: I had scolding on the over of sixteen and a 436 00:19:23,066 --> 00:19:24,626 Speaker 3: half yards against the Ravens. 437 00:19:24,866 --> 00:19:26,546 Speaker 2: Last played a game again. 438 00:19:28,386 --> 00:19:31,346 Speaker 1: Till the game that's a great one. Uh, you know 439 00:19:31,426 --> 00:19:33,666 Speaker 1: it's the sideliner for all that stuff? Is it the 440 00:19:33,746 --> 00:19:38,506 Speaker 1: game of itself? Now? I love Monday mornings during the 441 00:19:38,506 --> 00:19:41,586 Speaker 1: football season because I know that at seven am Eastern 442 00:19:41,706 --> 00:19:43,906 Speaker 1: there there might not be the same amount people watching 443 00:19:45,786 --> 00:19:48,866 Speaker 1: want to give content what I have to say, and 444 00:19:48,906 --> 00:19:52,186 Speaker 1: people want to hear what I when you when you 445 00:19:52,226 --> 00:19:56,986 Speaker 1: have to write that monologue Monday after Super Bowl, super 446 00:19:57,026 --> 00:19:59,026 Speaker 1: Bowl Sunday or not right, but do that at one 447 00:19:59,066 --> 00:20:01,266 Speaker 1: o'clock or whenever the radio show starts. And I go 448 00:20:01,306 --> 00:20:03,826 Speaker 1: back to when you guys used to recap sopranos back 449 00:20:03,826 --> 00:20:06,746 Speaker 1: at Mike and the Mad Dog. Is that your favorite 450 00:20:06,746 --> 00:20:09,466 Speaker 1: moment that you when you first given the. 451 00:20:09,426 --> 00:20:16,426 Speaker 2: Monologue after a big game. There's nothing better. Now listen, A. 452 00:20:16,466 --> 00:20:20,826 Speaker 3: Mannequin could have done it. But Campbell is a perfect example. 453 00:20:21,746 --> 00:20:26,146 Speaker 3: They played the game Sunday night. It's it's over ten thirty, 454 00:20:26,266 --> 00:20:28,266 Speaker 3: and I'm on the next day at three. I don't 455 00:20:28,306 --> 00:20:32,186 Speaker 3: listen to any other shows. I want to make sure 456 00:20:32,226 --> 00:20:34,786 Speaker 3: I'm not swayed, so when I go in here, you'll 457 00:20:34,786 --> 00:20:37,386 Speaker 3: block it all out. I don't follow. I mean, I 458 00:20:37,386 --> 00:20:40,026 Speaker 3: watched the postgame the night before, but the morning off, 459 00:20:40,146 --> 00:20:43,346 Speaker 3: I don't watch much. But one Sunday at three Monday 460 00:20:43,346 --> 00:20:46,906 Speaker 3: at three o'clock rolls around days a perfect example. I'm 461 00:20:46,906 --> 00:20:50,466 Speaker 3: gonna go twenty minutes and I'm going to kill in 462 00:20:50,506 --> 00:20:53,266 Speaker 3: this case Campbell, which is to me an absolute lamp. 463 00:20:53,826 --> 00:20:56,186 Speaker 3: And I don't rehearse it. I have it in my 464 00:20:56,226 --> 00:20:58,786 Speaker 3: head what I'm gonna say, but I don't rehearse it. 465 00:20:59,066 --> 00:21:02,346 Speaker 3: I just let it flow. And that is the perfect 466 00:21:02,386 --> 00:21:08,866 Speaker 3: storm of a big game, controversy, terrible loss, and a 467 00:21:08,986 --> 00:21:09,986 Speaker 3: night game the night before. 468 00:21:10,026 --> 00:21:10,266 Speaker 2: You're on. 469 00:21:10,666 --> 00:21:13,026 Speaker 3: Now, if that game Saturday, you can't do as much 470 00:21:13,026 --> 00:21:14,866 Speaker 3: on it because you've got a day in between. 471 00:21:15,266 --> 00:21:16,306 Speaker 2: So you need this Sunday. 472 00:21:16,746 --> 00:21:20,586 Speaker 3: But That is an absolute perfect storm for a talk 473 00:21:20,626 --> 00:21:23,026 Speaker 3: show host like me. It's simple, and I'm good at 474 00:21:23,066 --> 00:21:25,666 Speaker 3: the rants. I can talk forever. I don't have to 475 00:21:25,666 --> 00:21:28,306 Speaker 3: rely on a lot of calls early now. For instance, 476 00:21:28,346 --> 00:21:31,026 Speaker 3: on Monday, if I have a Shanahan screw up, or 477 00:21:31,066 --> 00:21:33,866 Speaker 3: if I have a terrible conclusion of the game, that's 478 00:21:33,906 --> 00:21:35,426 Speaker 3: an easy layup to. 479 00:21:35,386 --> 00:21:36,146 Speaker 2: Get to the show. 480 00:21:36,426 --> 00:21:38,946 Speaker 3: I'll do it at three, I'll do it again at five. 481 00:21:39,386 --> 00:21:42,266 Speaker 3: I'd probably have something to work with on Tuesday. So 482 00:21:42,386 --> 00:21:46,426 Speaker 3: I'll have this game. If it's got a good conclusion 483 00:21:46,506 --> 00:21:49,026 Speaker 3: with some drama, it will get two or three days 484 00:21:49,026 --> 00:21:51,586 Speaker 3: out of it. And that's what I need for next week. 485 00:21:51,946 --> 00:21:52,466 Speaker 2: On the show. 486 00:21:52,546 --> 00:21:55,306 Speaker 1: We'll wrap with this. You and I might be the 487 00:21:55,586 --> 00:21:58,466 Speaker 1: biggest tennis fans in mainstream media as far as just 488 00:21:58,546 --> 00:22:00,786 Speaker 1: openly say how much we love the racket sports. I 489 00:22:00,826 --> 00:22:02,266 Speaker 1: don't do pick a ball. I don't know if you do. 490 00:22:02,306 --> 00:22:06,946 Speaker 1: But I've recently becovered I've discovered adell. Have you heard 491 00:22:06,946 --> 00:22:09,906 Speaker 1: of now? It's unbelievable. 492 00:22:10,466 --> 00:22:15,466 Speaker 3: Where I live, where I play my tennis in Fairfield County, Connecticut, 493 00:22:15,986 --> 00:22:18,026 Speaker 3: we just put a padel court in. 494 00:22:19,306 --> 00:22:20,506 Speaker 2: There's only two in Connecticut. 495 00:22:20,506 --> 00:22:22,706 Speaker 3: There's one in Norwalk and one in New Canaan, and 496 00:22:22,786 --> 00:22:25,306 Speaker 3: we put a padel court in. Now I don't play it, 497 00:22:25,626 --> 00:22:29,306 Speaker 3: but all my buddies this last pass to the summer 498 00:22:29,906 --> 00:22:31,466 Speaker 3: loved it and played it. 499 00:22:31,866 --> 00:22:34,786 Speaker 2: I tried it.

He's got that. I don't give a leap 558 00:25:19,986 --> 00:25:23,346 Speaker 1: where he's like the CBS pregame show, you know, it 559 00:25:23,386 --> 00:25:24,946 Speaker 1: doesn't do it for me, and he just like goes 560 00:25:24,986 --> 00:25:27,106 Speaker 1: off and You're like, I would never do that because 561 00:25:27,226 --> 00:25:29,026 Speaker 1: those are like, you know, who knows I might be 562 00:25:29,066 --> 00:25:31,466 Speaker 1: working with those guys, right.

She was great and I 565 00:25:36,706 --> 00:25:41,506 Speaker 1: so appreciate his place in the sports media landscape. That said, 566 00:25:42,026 --> 00:25:45,746 Speaker 1: it is time to unveil my official Super Bowl prediction. 567 00:25:46,146 --> 00:25:48,746 Speaker 1: If you listen to this podcast or you watch me 568 00:25:48,786 --> 00:25:51,306 Speaker 1: on TV, you know I've had a bit of good 569 00:25:51,346 --> 00:25:53,586 Speaker 1: fortune with these picks over the years. We went back 570 00:25:53,626 --> 00:25:55,386 Speaker 1: in the tapes, it's not five years straight that that 571 00:25:55,506 --> 00:25:58,506 Speaker 1: was a that was an outright mistake. Truth is, I've 572 00:25:58,586 --> 00:26:03,706 Speaker 1: either picked the right Super Bowl matchup or the winner 573 00:26:03,826 --> 00:26:07,266 Speaker 1: in the last four Super Bowls. And in this years instance, 574 00:26:07,626 --> 00:26:11,226 Speaker 1: I actually before the season picked the Chiefs and the 575 00:26:11,306 --> 00:26:14,626 Speaker 1: forty nine Ers to square off. And I'll tell you 576 00:26:14,706 --> 00:26:16,786 Speaker 1: I had the Rams winning the Super Bowl. I had 577 00:26:16,786 --> 00:26:18,866 Speaker 1: the Rams being the Chiefs. The Rams actually beat the Bengals. 578 00:26:19,666 --> 00:26:22,506 Speaker 1: I had the Chiefs winning last year, and I said 579 00:26:22,626 --> 00:26:25,706 Speaker 1: very specifically that Nick Bolton was going to have the 580 00:26:25,706 --> 00:26:28,586 Speaker 1: game winning touchdown or the game winning play, which he did, 581 00:26:29,306 --> 00:26:30,786 Speaker 1: and I said they were going to beat the Packers. 582 00:26:30,866 --> 00:26:33,586 Speaker 1: Packers didn't even make the playoffs last year. They actually 583 00:26:33,706 --> 00:26:35,586 Speaker 1: ended up beating the Eagles, so I didn't even have 584 00:26:35,666 --> 00:26:39,386 Speaker 1: going to the tournament before the season started. But this 585 00:26:39,466 --> 00:26:41,626 Speaker 1: year I've been spot on, and this year I have 586 00:26:41,906 --> 00:26:46,266 Speaker 1: a flawless record with every single playoff game except one. 587 00:26:47,026 --> 00:26:49,946 Speaker 1: I had the Cowboys beating the Packers in the wild 588 00:26:50,146 --> 00:26:53,146 Speaker 1: or in the Divisional round. That is the only was 589 00:26:53,146 --> 00:26:55,546 Speaker 1: that Wildcar round or division that was the Wildcar round? Right? 590 00:26:55,586 --> 00:26:57,626 Speaker 1: It was Wildcar Round. That's the only game I've gotten wrong, 591 00:26:57,706 --> 00:26:59,426 Speaker 1: I think as far as the playoffs, and no, I 592 00:26:59,466 --> 00:27:01,186 Speaker 1: might have had another one. Oh I had the Browns. 593 00:27:01,746 --> 00:27:03,986 Speaker 1: I had the Browns beating the Texans them. So I'm 594 00:27:04,426 --> 00:27:09,906 Speaker 1: sitting pretty I wawless divisional round picks, wawless Championship round picks. 595 00:27:10,586 --> 00:27:13,146 Speaker 1: And before the season. Let's go to what we did 596 00:27:13,146 --> 00:27:15,146 Speaker 1: on the podcast. Let me toss to the clip. Here's 597 00:27:15,186 --> 00:27:18,826 Speaker 1: what we said on September seventh, before kickoff on how 598 00:27:18,866 --> 00:27:22,426 Speaker 1: I thought this season Super Bowl matchup would go. My 599 00:27:22,546 --> 00:27:27,466 Speaker 1: winners from the NFC, the San Francisco forty nine ers. 600 00:27:27,626 --> 00:27:29,746 Speaker 1: I think they play a punishing brand of football that 601 00:27:29,866 --> 00:27:33,066 Speaker 1: is with Nick Bosa or without. I think their defense 602 00:27:33,106 --> 00:27:35,146 Speaker 1: always sets the standard. And as much as I love 603 00:27:35,186 --> 00:27:37,786 Speaker 1: Demko Ryans, I don't think they missed that much of 604 00:27:37,906 --> 00:27:41,146 Speaker 1: a beat without him. They keep ongoing. They've got young 605 00:27:41,226 --> 00:27:43,386 Speaker 1: talent at every position there and then on offense, Kyle 606 00:27:43,386 --> 00:27:45,546 Speaker 1: Shanahan is a mad genius. I think he finally has 607 00:27:45,586 --> 00:27:48,826 Speaker 1: a quarterback that can operate his offense that he believes 608 00:27:48,826 --> 00:27:51,106 Speaker 1: he could put in trust and really get them over 609 00:27:51,106 --> 00:27:54,066 Speaker 1: the hump. He's a former mister Irrelevant and that is okay. 610 00:27:54,746 --> 00:27:57,266 Speaker 1: I've got McCaffrey as my MVP. I think Deebo has 611 00:27:57,306 --> 00:27:59,226 Speaker 1: a big year. I think Ayuk is a big year. 612 00:27:59,306 --> 00:28:01,786 Speaker 1: I think Trent Williams might going out on a swan 613 00:28:01,866 --> 00:28:03,866 Speaker 1: song here in his last couple of seasons, but I 614 00:28:03,906 --> 00:28:06,546 Speaker 1: think he's still the best tackle in the league. I'm 615 00:28:06,546 --> 00:28:09,066 Speaker 1: going with the San Francisco forty nine ers as my 616 00:28:09,186 --> 00:28:15,626 Speaker 1: team out of the NFC. As for the AFC, really 617 00:28:15,786 --> 00:28:19,226 Speaker 1: really struggled with this. Yeah, I can't pick against the Chiefs. 618 00:28:20,306 --> 00:28:22,586 Speaker 1: I don't care if Chris Jones is there. I don't 619 00:28:22,586 --> 00:28:25,146 Speaker 1: care if Tyreek Hill's not there. I don't care if 620 00:28:25,186 --> 00:28:27,266 Speaker 1: any of those guys aren't there. I can't pick against 621 00:28:27,306 --> 00:28:30,466 Speaker 1: the Chiefs. The Chiefs have been the standard and last 622 00:28:30,546 --> 00:28:33,146 Speaker 1: year was a great lesson. I stuck with them. I 623 00:28:33,146 --> 00:28:35,026 Speaker 1: picked them the wins Super Bowl despite losing Tyreek Hill. 624 00:28:35,066 --> 00:28:36,346 Speaker 1: I think I might have been in an island on that, 625 00:28:36,386 --> 00:28:38,266 Speaker 1: and that sounds wild considering how much success they have. 626 00:28:39,226 --> 00:28:42,226 Speaker 1: I will not pick against Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelcey 627 00:28:42,346 --> 00:28:44,706 Speaker 1: until I am forced to and I am not forced 628 00:28:44,746 --> 00:28:46,426 Speaker 1: to pick against them. They are still at the peak 629 00:28:46,426 --> 00:28:48,226 Speaker 1: of their game. I had a chance to spend time 630 00:28:48,266 --> 00:28:51,546 Speaker 1: with them this offseason at that big Slick Charity Classic, 631 00:28:51,586 --> 00:28:53,826 Speaker 1: and I was hanging with them, and I swear to god, 632 00:28:53,826 --> 00:28:55,346 Speaker 1: I left that thing being like, those guys are great. 633 00:28:55,386 --> 00:28:57,226 Speaker 1: And then I talked to us some people around the 634 00:28:57,266 --> 00:28:58,666 Speaker 1: league and I'm like, I don't know. They seem like 635 00:28:58,706 --> 00:28:59,906 Speaker 1: we haveing a little towo good of a time this 636 00:28:59,986 --> 00:29:02,666 Speaker 1: offseason with the golf and this, and there are concerts 637 00:29:02,706 --> 00:29:04,506 Speaker 1: and it's like Mahomes and Kelsey are everywhere in the 638 00:29:04,546 --> 00:29:08,426 Speaker 1: podcast and start turning away and then you're like, holy crap, 639 00:29:08,466 --> 00:29:10,746 Speaker 1: they're just so good. I am going with the Chiefs. 640 00:29:11,306 --> 00:29:12,586 Speaker 1: I don't know how they get there. I don't know 641 00:29:12,626 --> 00:29:14,906 Speaker 1: if it's through a one seed and they host all 642 00:29:14,906 --> 00:29:16,546 Speaker 1: these games at Arrowhead. I don't know if they've got 643 00:29:16,586 --> 00:29:20,546 Speaker 1: to go on the road. But like I said, it's 644 00:29:20,586 --> 00:29:22,466 Speaker 1: one of those deals, my eyes will not deceive me. 645 00:29:22,546 --> 00:29:24,786 Speaker 1: And if there's a fourth quarter and Patrick Mahomes needs 646 00:29:24,826 --> 00:29:25,906 Speaker 1: to get it done in a big spot, he has 647 00:29:25,906 --> 00:29:28,866 Speaker 1: gotten it done every single time. I'm going with Kansas City. Now, 648 00:29:28,866 --> 00:29:30,906 Speaker 1: this was a super Bowl, A few years back in Miami. 649 00:29:31,266 --> 00:29:32,986 Speaker 1: We go from one party city to the next. We 650 00:29:33,026 --> 00:29:38,106 Speaker 1: go to Vegas. Forty nine Ers versus Chiefs, the Super 651 00:29:38,106 --> 00:29:42,586 Speaker 1: Bowl Champions for the Super Bowl in Las Vegas on CBS. 652 00:29:42,826 --> 00:29:48,706 Speaker 1: Drum roll please, Aaron. The Kansas City Chiefs will be 653 00:29:48,746 --> 00:29:51,386 Speaker 1: your first back to back Super Bowl champion winners since 654 00:29:51,386 --> 00:29:53,346 Speaker 1: the New England Patriots did it in two thousand and 655 00:29:53,386 --> 00:29:55,466 Speaker 1: three and two thousand and four. I am going with 656 00:29:55,666 --> 00:29:59,466 Speaker 1: the Chiefs. I love what they are all about. I 657 00:29:59,506 --> 00:30:01,786 Speaker 1: love that people are doubting them, and I love the 658 00:30:01,826 --> 00:30:06,666 Speaker 1: fact that Mahomes and Kelsey are ready to go. Back 659 00:30:06,706 --> 00:30:09,546 Speaker 1: on September seventh, here we are as we head towards 660 00:30:09,626 --> 00:30:11,906 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, less than forty eight hours away, and 661 00:30:11,946 --> 00:30:14,106 Speaker 1: here's how I see it going down. I do still 662 00:30:14,146 --> 00:30:16,826 Speaker 1: think it's going to be a shootout. I know that 663 00:30:16,906 --> 00:30:19,666 Speaker 1: sounds crazy. Spags's defense has been so dialed in, but 664 00:30:19,706 --> 00:30:23,066 Speaker 1: you give Kyle Shanahan two weeks to prepare, you better 665 00:30:23,066 --> 00:30:26,066 Speaker 1: believe you're getting the best at Christian McCaffrey, Deebo, Samuel 666 00:30:26,426 --> 00:30:29,346 Speaker 1: George Kittle, Kyle Yuschek, and then the sunsung hero of 667 00:30:29,346 --> 00:30:32,146 Speaker 1: this team, Brandon Ayuk, who has become an incredible wide receiver. 668 00:30:32,626 --> 00:30:34,866 Speaker 1: I think you will see a couple plays to a 669 00:30:34,906 --> 00:30:37,306 Speaker 1: guy they called third and Juwan. That's Juwan Johnson. I 670 00:30:37,306 --> 00:30:39,706 Speaker 1: think he make a couple of big plays. I also 671 00:30:39,786 --> 00:30:42,746 Speaker 1: think that offensive line is healthy. I think Trent Williams 672 00:30:42,786 --> 00:30:46,706 Speaker 1: has been outstanding these playoffs. This team is going to 673 00:30:46,746 --> 00:30:50,026 Speaker 1: move the ball on spags and that's something that the 674 00:30:50,066 --> 00:30:52,346 Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens could not do. It is something that the 675 00:30:52,346 --> 00:30:54,986 Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins absolutely could not do. But I have full 676 00:30:55,026 --> 00:30:57,666 Speaker 1: confidence that Kyle Shanahan will dial it up in a 677 00:30:57,666 --> 00:31:00,906 Speaker 1: million ways, and between he and Clint Kubiak and Brian 678 00:31:00,946 --> 00:31:03,586 Speaker 1: Greci and the rest of those offensive coaches, they will 679 00:31:03,626 --> 00:31:09,026 Speaker 1: put up points. I don't know if we see Cadarius Tony. 680 00:31:09,106 --> 00:31:11,546 Speaker 1: I think he had one of the greatest out of 681 00:31:11,546 --> 00:31:13,706 Speaker 1: nowhere performances in the Super Bowl last year with the 682 00:31:13,706 --> 00:31:15,986 Speaker 1: big punt return and the touchdown. But I don't know 683 00:31:15,986 --> 00:31:17,466 Speaker 1: if he plays in this one, as he has been 684 00:31:18,226 --> 00:31:20,386 Speaker 1: not on the field throughout the playoffs. But if he's 685 00:31:20,386 --> 00:31:22,226 Speaker 1: out there, I'd watch for him to have a couple 686 00:31:22,266 --> 00:31:25,426 Speaker 1: of cool gadget plays. Truth of the matter is, Chaeco 687 00:31:25,866 --> 00:31:27,666 Speaker 1: has been as good a running back in the NFL 688 00:31:27,866 --> 00:31:31,306 Speaker 1: as anyone not named mccaff free in the last sex 689 00:31:31,346 --> 00:31:35,066 Speaker 1: six weeks of the season. He is reliable. He killed 690 00:31:35,346 --> 00:31:38,586 Speaker 1: the Ravens and he killed the Dolphins a couple weeks earlier. 691 00:31:38,626 --> 00:31:40,946 Speaker 1: I think Pachaco eats. I think this game goes back 692 00:31:40,946 --> 00:31:42,466 Speaker 1: and forth, back and forth, back and forth. Now, the 693 00:31:42,466 --> 00:31:44,866 Speaker 1: tragedy of it all is that you know who I'm picking. 694 00:31:44,906 --> 00:31:47,586 Speaker 1: I'm picking the Kansas City Chiefs. The tragedy is this 695 00:31:49,386 --> 00:31:51,186 Speaker 1: let to be one of the great great Super Bowls. 696 00:31:51,226 --> 00:31:53,706 Speaker 1: I really do think so shootout the whole deal. I 697 00:31:53,706 --> 00:31:57,506 Speaker 1: think it's gonna be like twenty one to twenty one 698 00:31:57,626 --> 00:32:00,386 Speaker 1: or twenty four to twenty one heading into the fourth quarter, 699 00:32:01,706 --> 00:32:03,386 Speaker 1: and I think that the Niners are going to have 700 00:32:03,426 --> 00:32:05,626 Speaker 1: a lead. The Niners are going to have a lead 701 00:32:05,666 --> 00:32:08,906 Speaker 1: at say twenty eight to twenty seven, and it's going 702 00:32:08,946 --> 00:32:10,866 Speaker 1: to be one of these deals where they're up, they're 703 00:32:10,906 --> 00:32:15,066 Speaker 1: holding on. And I do think that it is going 704 00:32:15,106 --> 00:32:19,426 Speaker 1: to be a Trent McDuffie, he's six in the fourth 705 00:32:19,546 --> 00:32:23,626 Speaker 1: quarter at will ins the game of the Kansas City Chiefs, 706 00:32:23,746 --> 00:32:25,586 Speaker 1: and I do think that the Kansa City Chiefs defense 707 00:32:25,586 --> 00:32:28,226 Speaker 1: slams the door one more time so I've got to 708 00:32:28,266 --> 00:32:33,906 Speaker 1: go in this way, thirty four to twenty eight. Thirty 709 00:32:33,946 --> 00:32:37,346 Speaker 1: four to twenty eight. Now, I got that figure out 710 00:32:37,386 --> 00:32:40,066 Speaker 1: how how that scoring works, because if they're down a point, 711 00:32:40,066 --> 00:32:42,106 Speaker 1: they wouldn't kick an extra point, they would go for two. 712 00:32:42,146 --> 00:32:45,306 Speaker 1: Whatever it is, I'm going with thirty four to twenty eight, 713 00:32:45,986 --> 00:32:49,106 Speaker 1: and I cannot say it enough. Trent McDuffie. Trent McDuffie, 714 00:32:49,146 --> 00:32:52,626 Speaker 1: Trent McDuffie. Now, Aaron, here's the issue. Trent McDuffie has 715 00:32:52,706 --> 00:32:55,626 Speaker 1: never had an interception in the NFL, never, and yet 716 00:32:56,106 --> 00:32:57,906 Speaker 1: I think in the Super Bowl he saves the best 717 00:32:57,906 --> 00:32:59,946 Speaker 1: for the last. He's one of the most physical corners 718 00:32:59,946 --> 00:33:01,986 Speaker 1: in the league. He and Steed have been great all season. 719 00:33:02,426 --> 00:33:06,226 Speaker 1: I see an interception, Bang, bang, Niner Gang. I love it. 720 00:33:06,786 --> 00:33:08,506 Speaker 1: The Niners have done this season. I picked them to 721 00:33:08,586 --> 00:33:11,306 Speaker 1: win the NFC. They have done that. It's an amazing story. 722 00:33:11,786 --> 00:33:13,106 Speaker 1: And yet at the end of the day, I think 723 00:33:13,106 --> 00:33:15,706 Speaker 1: it's Kelsey, I think it's Mahomes, I think it's Reed, 724 00:33:15,746 --> 00:33:18,626 Speaker 1: I think it's Spagnolo, I think it's stone cold Chris Jones. 725 00:33:19,066 --> 00:33:21,506 Speaker 1: And I think it's those guys winning another Super Bowl, 726 00:33:21,586 --> 00:33:25,306 Speaker 1: the first back to back Super Bowl winners since two 727 00:33:25,346 --> 00:33:28,386 Speaker 1: thousand and four, when the Patriots won back to back 728 00:33:28,506 --> 00:33:32,026 Speaker 1: Super Bowls, beating the Carolina Panthers and the Philadelphia Eagles 729 00:33:32,026 --> 00:33:36,506 Speaker 1: in consecutive years. Mahomes majestic again. He will be your MVP, 730 00:33:36,946 --> 00:33:41,266 Speaker 1: but Trent McDuffie will make the play. On that note, 731 00:33:41,746 --> 00:33:44,226 Speaker 1: I signed off. I will see you guys next week. 732 00:33:44,266 --> 00:33:47,226 Speaker 1: Will recap the Super Bowl. This is Peter Schreger.

This is the Trent 734 00:33:49,666 --> 00:33:52,026 Speaker 1: McDuffie pick six that we will be talking about for 735 00:33:52,066 --> 00:33:55,546 Speaker 1: the rest of time.
