Let's get some highlights from Monnow, let's go 22 00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:23,480 Speaker 1: to Pittsburgh. Let's get after it because this one was fun. 23 00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:25,880 Speaker 1: Let's see it from Mike Tomlin. Mike, you have that 24 00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:30,759 Speaker 1: one on the bag right, all right, had it all 25 00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:34,400 Speaker 1: the way right, man, That's just the nature of this thing. 26 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:38,320 Speaker 1: It's the National Football League. You're gonna be in battles. Man. 27 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,640 Speaker 1: The most important thing is that you smile in the 28 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:44,319 Speaker 1: face of adversity and deliver the necessary plays. And you 29 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:46,880 Speaker 1: know that's the silver lining and tonight's performance. Man, we're 30 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:49,040 Speaker 1: up against it, a lot of it due to our 31 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 1: own doing, but you got to also tip your cap 32 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,680 Speaker 1: to the barrass man. They compete it, and they competed 33 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:56,040 Speaker 1: for sixty minutes. The cool thing is we made the 34 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,320 Speaker 1: necessary plays, man. Ben took the offense down the field 35 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:03,120 Speaker 1: and got the necessary field goal, and we're able to 36 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 1: close the game out, and I'm thankful for that. Steelers 37 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:09,840 Speaker 1: excited to be five and three. They're very much alive. 38 00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:11,960 Speaker 1: We'll get to the Bears some exciting hope for the 39 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,239 Speaker 1: future in justin fields, but it wasn't that anybody was 40 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,919 Speaker 1: talking about. Nobody's talking about it this morning. It's this 41 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 1: this ending in Pittsburgh late in the fourth quarter. Fish 42 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:23,560 Speaker 1: Ha's Cassius Marsh. She's a Linebackery Dicks, Cara Big Benny Sackson, 43 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,160 Speaker 1: and he appears to stare down the Steelers bench, comes 44 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:29,320 Speaker 1: into contact with the referee Torny Currentti, who flags him 45 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:33,480 Speaker 1: for taunting. Here's what Marsh had to say about the call. 46 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:39,079 Speaker 1: I think it's pretty clear to everybody who saw it 47 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:46,400 Speaker 1: that I wasn't taunting, and like, you know, I've been 48 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:50,120 Speaker 1: doing the celebration for my whole career, and you know, 49 00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:52,600 Speaker 1: it's just sad to see stuff like that happened in 50 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 1: a close game like that. We know the rule reactions 51 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 1: to the Cassius mar taunting penalty late in the fourth quarter. 52 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:07,080 Speaker 1: Some backstory. This offseason, the NFL put in this taunting rule, 53 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,080 Speaker 1: and it kind of was buried under a lot of 54 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:13,359 Speaker 1: other new policies and rules, and I think there is 55 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,080 Speaker 1: a clear delineation of like what is taunting and what 56 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 1: is not taunting. Taunting is when you're doing it in 57 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,200 Speaker 1: the face of somebody else, but celebrating is when you 58 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 1: do it else. Because the Steelers had an interception day 59 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,120 Speaker 1: and the entire team gets to run into the end 60 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,800 Speaker 1: zone and celebrate into pitching Hey pictures and we're like, 61 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 1: who do Selly of the Month? Like we do this 62 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 1: whole thing celebration. We love it. And then Cashier's marsh 63 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 1: does this kick, looks at great kick, and we say, 64 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 1: all right, well that's dangerous to the game. This is 65 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 1: where Tony Currency is in a tough spot. The NFL's 66 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 1: Competition Committee said, this is a point of emphasis, which 67 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 1: doesn't mean it's just a new rule. It's like, we 68 00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 1: want you guys to call this. Part of the reason 69 00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,800 Speaker 1: was we're getting some gestures from players last couple of 70 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 1: years that were coming off as really bad sportsmanship, some 71 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 1: cases that were, you know, inciting violence on the field, 72 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 1: like we don't I don't know where the lion crosses here. 73 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 1: Look the coaches yelling at him. But cash is like, 74 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 1: I've been doing that kick move my entire career and 75 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 1: he's had a long career, and he's like, rules have changed. 76 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:25,800 Speaker 1: It's not the wrong call because it's the point of emphasis. 77 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 1: Like he's doing his job. It sucks, I know it 78 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 1: sounds if you're a bearrass man, like, what do you 79 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,559 Speaker 1: mean that's not that's not the point. The rule is there, 80 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,359 Speaker 1: and whether or not he should follow the rules or not, 81 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 1: or whether it doesn't matter, this is a point of effisode. 82 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:41,560 Speaker 1: And I remember I learned this rule over the off 83 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 1: season and I was with a bunch of different colleagues 84 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 1: from Fox and Charles Woodson could not stomach it and 85 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,280 Speaker 1: was sitting in the room while the head of officiating 86 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:51,279 Speaker 1: was speaking to us and he's raising his hands like, 87 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:52,719 Speaker 1: you know, that's going to cost him on a big game, 88 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:54,560 Speaker 1: or that's gonna cost him on a playoff game. You 89 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,479 Speaker 1: can't have that cost a playoff game, like, and they're like, yes, 90 00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,200 Speaker 1: but the players will learn and hopefully by the end 91 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 1: of the season they'll no, you can't talk. It's a 92 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:04,560 Speaker 1: tough thing to stomach. And of course the Bears would 93 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:06,160 Speaker 1: go on to score, so it's almost a moot point. 94 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:10,119 Speaker 1: But they also called it last week and we didn't 95 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,360 Speaker 1: go nuts about it, right, Eli Penny gets not an 96 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,840 Speaker 1: easy first down and it's a big play for the Giants. 97 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:19,000 Speaker 1: It is the rule. It's the point of MSIs. The 98 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,039 Speaker 1: league has told the rest call this if you can. 99 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,920 Speaker 1: They did well. I mean this like you said it 100 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 1: was there are new rules. But this is the thing, 101 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:28,920 Speaker 1: like be a smart football player. Seriously, though, great first down, 102 00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,000 Speaker 1: there's no reason to put your hand in the guy's face. 103 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 1: As as a veteran that played this game for a 104 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 1: long time, they make these rules right to protect the teams, 105 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:39,800 Speaker 1: to protect the league. I get it right. So once 106 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,120 Speaker 1: you get these new rules, you have to adjust. It's 107 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 1: part of the game. We can't change. You can't do 108 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 1: nothing about it. We'll be complaining about it on the 109 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,560 Speaker 1: next day, you know, one day or Sunday, you know, 110 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,279 Speaker 1: but you gotta you gotta take care of your team. 111 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:53,479 Speaker 1: And the right thing to take care of your team 112 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 1: is do the right things. Bro Listen, celebrate, you know, 113 00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:59,000 Speaker 1: take your your defense, go down to pictures, celebrate. But 114 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,280 Speaker 1: that's it. Go to the sideline. There's no reason to 115 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:04,320 Speaker 1: stare down the opposing team and looking at him that 116 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,120 Speaker 1: you're you're looking for a flag. You're looking for a flag, 117 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 1: you know. So it started complaining about it. Just do 118 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,080 Speaker 1: the right thing, man, celebrate your team and go to 119 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:13,520 Speaker 1: the other sideline and trying to win a game. Is 120 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:15,920 Speaker 1: it hard to know what's taunting and what's selling men. 121 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 1: I think it is. I think it's obvious, like like, okay, 122 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,000 Speaker 1: you celebrate, you do the karate kick. Cool. I don't 123 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,359 Speaker 1: think that was the flag. The flag was. The karate 124 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:25,160 Speaker 1: kick was very good. And then you're staring at the 125 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 1: opposing team like taking them like, bro, do your thing, 126 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:30,720 Speaker 1: great job and let's get moving. We're trying to win 127 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:32,719 Speaker 1: the game. You do things like that like you're casting 128 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:35,440 Speaker 1: your team. The karate kick was not flagged. He's done 129 00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 1: it for you. You can do do it to a player. Yeah, 130 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,200 Speaker 1: here's what's fascinate. It's not that there was another taunting 131 00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:44,240 Speaker 1: or it wasn't that there was a kick. It's the 132 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 1: official bump that is really weird. Here's right, come out. 133 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,720 Speaker 1: If you feel that this player lingering on the field, 134 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,719 Speaker 1: stared down the sideline, took the steps, and if you 135 00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:56,960 Speaker 1: feel that's worthy of the game, change the penalty. Throw it, fine, 136 00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 1: if you have to throw it. He doesn't throw it 137 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,560 Speaker 1: until the bump. He's reaching for it though he's grabbing it. 138 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,080 Speaker 1: He's already grabbing it, But then why does he wait 139 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,359 Speaker 1: to l after the bump to throw it. Listen, there's 140 00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 1: insinuations and accusations out there. The official leaned his butt 141 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:15,240 Speaker 1: back into him. It does look like it, I mean 142 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:18,520 Speaker 1: it doesn't. Just a little context here. At this point, 143 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:21,520 Speaker 1: the Steelers have been called for two penalties. The Bears 144 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 1: have been called for eleven. The Bears sideline was apoplectic 145 00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:28,200 Speaker 1: all night. It's a desperation game, going to buy the 146 00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:31,720 Speaker 1: season might be over, Naggie. Everyone was on the official, 147 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 1: like on him, you're human beings. I think the officials 148 00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:36,240 Speaker 1: have maybe had enough and we're pissed and we're tied 149 00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,360 Speaker 1: at this and they've been getting worn out. That bump 150 00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:40,080 Speaker 1: is a little bit weird, and I think it should 151 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:41,760 Speaker 1: be looked at. That's all I will say that the 152 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 1: bus that didn't look natural to me, I'm not sure about. 153 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,120 Speaker 1: I think he was already grabbing. They're not that athletic. 154 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,240 Speaker 1: Come on, give him a break, right, and he's grabbing? 155 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 1: Are you kidding? Mean? This could be on angry runs, right, 156 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 1: He's already grabbing. Do you think he leans in? Yeah? 157 00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:58,640 Speaker 1: Does anybody not at the table? I'm not sure if 158 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 1: he leaned it, I'm not sure he would do that. 159 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 1: What a human beings? Taunting has always been a rule. 160 00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:07,520 Speaker 1: I love that Shriggs is underlining, italicize, and embolding the 161 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:09,920 Speaker 1: fact that it's a point of emphasis and this isn't weak. 162 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:13,120 Speaker 1: Two people are what are we complaining about? We're done 163 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:16,280 Speaker 1: with nine weeks of football and this emphasis has been 164 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,640 Speaker 1: applied across the board pretty much in every game. Maybe 165 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,040 Speaker 1: Bears fans haven't seen it up close and personal on 166 00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:23,520 Speaker 1: a national level, it's been applied across the board. Maybe 167 00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:26,000 Speaker 1: the competition committee, which they are able to write, will 168 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,120 Speaker 1: review it, take a look at it. But for now, 169 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,600 Speaker 1: the rule is what the rule is. The Bears frustration, 170 00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:33,240 Speaker 1: I understand, But how about also twelve penalties for one 171 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty fifteen years. I think, of course, this 172 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:37,679 Speaker 1: is the point that when we'll dig into this a 173 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,040 Speaker 1: little bit more than you have the justin field Yeah, 174 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,319 Speaker 1: I think I think there was late hit called again 175 00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:44,400 Speaker 1: not called against justin fields. I think that's where Bears 176 00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:46,440 Speaker 1: fans right have to be the cumulative that Also, like 177 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,000 Speaker 1: Marshall was on the Steelers last year, he's in fight 178 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:51,080 Speaker 1: for everything. He wanted to have a little moment where 179 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:52,560 Speaker 1: he looked at the sideline and said you get rid 180 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:53,920 Speaker 1: of us. He knows he can't have that moment look 181 00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 1: at that coach and being like, are you an absolutely 182 00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:59,959 Speaker 1: idiot revenge type? I don't was that counting? Was that taunting? 183 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,880 Speaker 1: I know the emphathy, all under the emphathy, but listen, 184 00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:04,880 Speaker 1: that will just the same way with hitting the quarterbacks. 185 00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,000 Speaker 1: I thought some legal hits, but they call flags. They 186 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,320 Speaker 1: figure a way to figure it out and adjust as players. 187 00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:12,360 Speaker 1: Right at GMFE, we're halfway through the season. It's been 188 00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:14,520 Speaker 1: a thing all year, Tom Pallis, they were joining us 189 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:17,240 Speaker 1: right now, Tom, thanks for being here. We're all on 190 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:20,440 Speaker 1: Odell Beckham Junior watch this morning. What do we need 191 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 1: to know? Okay? The Browns finally officially placed Odell Beckham 192 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:29,760 Speaker 1: Junior on waivers on Monday, ending a two and a 193 00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,480 Speaker 1: half year run in which Baker Mayfield to Odell Beckham 194 00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:36,079 Speaker 1: Junior had the lowest passer rating of any duo in 195 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,680 Speaker 1: the NFL the other thirty one teams. Now, we'll have 196 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:42,240 Speaker 1: until four pm Eastern time today to claim Odell, but 197 00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:45,920 Speaker 1: doing so would cause that new team to pick up 198 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 1: the rest of Odell Beckham juniors seven point two five 199 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:52,440 Speaker 1: million dollars salary. If he clears waivers, which at this 200 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:55,480 Speaker 1: point seems likely, then Odell would be free to side 201 00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:58,839 Speaker 1: with any team, So what landing spots makes sense? Well, 202 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:01,440 Speaker 1: the Saints and the forty nine ers bull seem like 203 00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:05,360 Speaker 1: logical fits, though Sean Payton and Kyle Shanahan pointed out 204 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:07,240 Speaker 1: they would not be able to put in a waiver claim. 205 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:09,760 Speaker 1: They just don't have the cap space, so Odell would 206 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:13,360 Speaker 1: have to clear first. Seahawks coach Pete Carroll would not 207 00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:16,840 Speaker 1: rule out the possibility of claiming Odell, and Seattle actually 208 00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:19,679 Speaker 1: does have the cap space if they decide to go 209 00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,360 Speaker 1: down that road. One team we know will not be 210 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,640 Speaker 1: claiming Odell, the team with the top priority spot on 211 00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,760 Speaker 1: the waiver list, that is the Detroit Lions. Coach Dan Campbell, 212 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:37,120 Speaker 1: when asked about O'Dell, responded simply, no, okay, no black 213 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:39,400 Speaker 1: grives in his coffee this morning. We love that Dan Campbell, 214 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,040 Speaker 1: though La Shawn saying that that is tough. We'll talk 215 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,960 Speaker 1: about odellare on his watch, Singrie Lands all day long 216 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,360 Speaker 1: here on phonework. Thank you so much, Tom. I'm getting 217 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:51,679 Speaker 1: for clipped just thinking about Odell's possible landing destinations. Week ten, 218 00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:56,160 Speaker 1: we got football Thursday Night Action, Lamar Jackson, yep Is 219 00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,840 Speaker 1: Ravens are going to go full force into primetime. The 220 00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,040 Speaker 1: Dolphins looking to me a statement on their home jeff 221 00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:04,520 Speaker 1: It's Ravens Dolphins, Thursday, eight pm Eastern on NFL Network, 222 00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:08,360 Speaker 1: on Fox and streaming on Prime Video in a huge show. 223 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:12,760 Speaker 1: Justin Tucker on the program, Scott the Oldie Brandon's Daley Fuck, 224 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,320 Speaker 1: I'm sorry? What? Yeah, that's true? Say it again, Dick 225 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:18,520 Speaker 1: Budgets love it, Bills, I think as good as we thought. 226 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:21,000 Speaker 1: How about those Patriots. They're gonna make an interesting Navcy East. 227 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:28,679 Speaker 1: It's time for a game of we in, we out. 228 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:31,040 Speaker 1: We do this on Tuesdays. Here's how it works. Say 229 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:36,040 Speaker 1: a statement. Say you agree, you're in. If you don't agree, no, 230 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:40,400 Speaker 1: Jaguar surprised us all by defeating the Bills on Sunday 231 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:43,880 Speaker 1: nine to six. Let's now take a look at where 232 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:47,760 Speaker 1: that leaves the Bills in their division. Okay, the Bills 233 00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:50,840 Speaker 1: are in first, the Patriots are right on their heels 234 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:55,520 Speaker 1: in second. Wow, statement is this the Patriots not the 235 00:11:55,640 --> 00:12:02,240 Speaker 1: Bills are going to win the afcast. I want to 236 00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:05,680 Speaker 1: be in so badly. I want it. It's fun. I can't. 237 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,320 Speaker 1: I'm out. I'm still out. I can't. I can't let 238 00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:11,360 Speaker 1: go simple things the way. Look at our the matchups. 239 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:13,920 Speaker 1: All right, So New England plays Cleveland this week, that's tough. 240 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:17,480 Speaker 1: The Bills get the Jets. I still believe in Josh Allen. 241 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:19,599 Speaker 1: I know you've compared them to the Evil Empire of 242 00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:21,800 Speaker 1: Star Wars. We're not allowed to do the song anymore. Now, 243 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 1: we can't do that. But you know what broke up 244 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:27,119 Speaker 1: the Evil Empire was a farmer in one case, Luke Skywalker, 245 00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:30,000 Speaker 1: in one case, Josh Allen. I picked the Bills to 246 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:32,719 Speaker 1: win the Super Bowl with great conviction. I can't jump 247 00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:34,840 Speaker 1: ship on that because Bill Belichick's drew together a few 248 00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:37,000 Speaker 1: wins with a rookie quarterback. I'm still gonna go with 249 00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:39,400 Speaker 1: the Bills. But it's getting real nice side. How less 250 00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:42,199 Speaker 1: convicted are you because five and three, with literally the 251 00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 1: softest schedule in the NFL not great. They don't run, 252 00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:48,199 Speaker 1: they lost it. They still play each other twice. I know, 253 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:50,839 Speaker 1: very strange. I would say I'm in on this because 254 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:52,959 Speaker 1: I don't like five and three is a two week 255 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,080 Speaker 1: of a record for what they've played. They only put 256 00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 1: the schedule the rest of the ways great. The only 257 00:12:57,679 --> 00:12:59,800 Speaker 1: team that they faced that we consider a top team 258 00:12:59,880 --> 00:13:02,319 Speaker 1: in the NFL are the Buccaneers. So I'm gonna give 259 00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:05,240 Speaker 1: Buffalo the edge, but it's closed. I'm telling you. Once 260 00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:07,559 Speaker 1: they're in the playoffs and the Patriots will be in 261 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:11,040 Speaker 1: the playoffs, we'll see what happens. So that's two. So three, 262 00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:15,080 Speaker 1: I'm going with the Bills. Um, I don't think it's close. 263 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:16,560 Speaker 1: I really don't. I think they, like you said, they 264 00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:18,960 Speaker 1: have the Bucks. That's the hardest. I think competition they 265 00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:22,559 Speaker 1: half left. Um, I mean, one bad game doesn't make 266 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,400 Speaker 1: the Bills a bad team. Let's not Josh Allen, he's 267 00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:28,800 Speaker 1: still there, Supertend, Stefan Dix, he's still there, right, Tadevia 268 00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:30,480 Speaker 1: is White, He's still there. Is there's still any kind 269 00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:32,360 Speaker 1: of big brother factor with New England, Like I know, 270 00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:36,199 Speaker 1: Buffalo got over. It's it's changed. Not the bad guy. Yeah, 271 00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:38,760 Speaker 1: we're the big guys. Now Tom's gone, So we're the 272 00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:42,040 Speaker 1: big guys. Yeah, let me ask him. Because we're quick. 273 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:45,680 Speaker 1: They beat who they beat, they beat the Panthers, they'd 274 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:48,120 Speaker 1: be the Panthers and the Jet Patris come on, like 275 00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:50,760 Speaker 1: you know, and they'd be the charge I give respectful 276 00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:53,520 Speaker 1: win come on, like, guys are bad teams with a 277 00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:55,160 Speaker 1: lot of turnovers. You playing for the Bills for a 278 00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,160 Speaker 1: long time in an arrow where Tom Brady owned, that 279 00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:59,960 Speaker 1: division owned. It was there an inferiority when you guys 280 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,040 Speaker 1: would go and play the pages. Would you know, like, oh, 281 00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:04,280 Speaker 1: they're just gonna beat us, or did you guys walk 282 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:06,880 Speaker 1: into those games as Buffalo Bill saying this is our week? 283 00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:09,080 Speaker 1: You know what? Honestly we thought we could beat them 284 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:11,400 Speaker 1: guys like I I mean, Tom Brady is Tom Brady. 285 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,920 Speaker 1: So it was always hard to beat him. But defensively, 286 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,800 Speaker 1: defensively they weren't that great. Like you know, they are 287 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:18,240 Speaker 1: really good in the red zone, so they let you 288 00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:19,920 Speaker 1: go up and down the field get the yards, but 289 00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:22,120 Speaker 1: they really like buckle down the red zone and they 290 00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,160 Speaker 1: give you three. And how they match up is you 291 00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:26,960 Speaker 1: get three, Tom gets seven. You keep matting it up. 292 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,280 Speaker 1: That's the loss. So we never was scared to go 293 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:31,240 Speaker 1: against him. But it's hard to beat Tom Brady. And 294 00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:34,000 Speaker 1: he's not there. He's gone, though he is gone, he's gone. 295 00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:36,640 Speaker 1: It's hard to beat Mac Jones. It's easy to beat 296 00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:39,120 Speaker 1: Matt Jones. Easy to be that's the bill for the Bills. 297 00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:41,720 Speaker 1: He's a good player. But come on the jet to 298 00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:43,360 Speaker 1: the Panthers. I can't get crazy over that. That's a 299 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:46,080 Speaker 1: good good wins. But this the Bills, and it is 300 00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:48,320 Speaker 1: called a big loss. Seana Dermot is gonna be on 301 00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:52,840 Speaker 1: the gap. Is closing a little bit from last one year. 302 00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:55,600 Speaker 1: Five and three coming off a loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. 303 00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:57,920 Speaker 1: The other one's five and four coming off three straight wins. 304 00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:00,800 Speaker 1: It's an argument, it's a discussion. They played twice. Still, 305 00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:04,760 Speaker 1: we'll see it all right. Next topic, if the Bills 306 00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:07,160 Speaker 1: blow that division to a rookie quarterback, you gotta be 307 00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:09,760 Speaker 1: kidding me. It's you can track the team. You're you're done. 308 00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:13,040 Speaker 1: They like they also want it. They want it last year, 309 00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:14,800 Speaker 1: so it's like you already gotten over the hump. You 310 00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:17,960 Speaker 1: can't revert back. I let you have to back Baltimore. 311 00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:20,040 Speaker 1: Don't win the division. Do they make it further than 312 00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:24,680 Speaker 1: the playoffs? Probably's bucks super Bowl? Anybody here for it? 313 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:29,440 Speaker 1: Monday Night Football was awesome last night, and you've got 314 00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:32,120 Speaker 1: those guys. But in some of these weeks, we have 315 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:35,560 Speaker 1: the Manning Cast and it's an alternative broadcast featuring Payton, 316 00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:38,240 Speaker 1: an Eli and guests. And you've heard of the Madden 317 00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:40,800 Speaker 1: Curse where you go on the Madden cover and then 318 00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:43,000 Speaker 1: you don't have a great season, or you get injured 319 00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:46,080 Speaker 1: or something catastrophic happens. But this was brought to our 320 00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:48,280 Speaker 1: attention over the weekend. Is that such a thing as 321 00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:53,240 Speaker 1: the Manning Cast? Me explain it. There's only a few 322 00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:56,680 Speaker 1: current players who have been on the Manning Cast. Here 323 00:15:56,800 --> 00:16:00,400 Speaker 1: is what has happened in the following week at as 324 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:04,440 Speaker 1: a guess on the Manning Cast. Juju, Kelsey lost, Russell 325 00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:09,760 Speaker 1: Wilson lost, Grunk loss, Stafford lost, even Brady went on 326 00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:11,360 Speaker 1: and it was great with paint and the light. They 327 00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:13,320 Speaker 1: lose the thing. Then Josh Allen last week, You're like, 328 00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:16,680 Speaker 1: there's no way to lose it to the Jaguars. They lose. 329 00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:18,560 Speaker 1: I'll put this out there. This might not be great 330 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:23,160 Speaker 1: for the Omaha productions. Folks trying to there is such 331 00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:27,080 Speaker 1: a thing as the Manning Cast curse? Are we in 332 00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:29,480 Speaker 1: kay or is this just a weird coincident. I just 333 00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:32,360 Speaker 1: I feel like I used to believe in curses and 334 00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:35,000 Speaker 1: juju and all of that, But then like the Red 335 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:39,640 Speaker 1: Sox and Cubs did their thing, and then Patrick Mahomes 336 00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:41,480 Speaker 1: won the Super Bowl when he was on the cover 337 00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:45,160 Speaker 1: of Madden. I think all those curses sort of broke. 338 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,360 Speaker 1: I don't believe any part of me that believed in 339 00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:51,440 Speaker 1: this kind of stuff ended with those I don't know. Okay, 340 00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:56,280 Speaker 1: hey listen, those are six or seven, right, I gotta 341 00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:59,400 Speaker 1: go with man Man. I can't you on that?

Stay away, bro please stay away. 344 00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:13,960 Speaker 1: It's not looking good. Say thank you, but no thank you? 345 00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:18,720 Speaker 1: Huh God, that's good, Peter. I could not be more in. 346 00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:22,680 Speaker 1: I'm gonna do the two like Borat style. I love 347 00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:25,560 Speaker 1: us today. I'm with because we need a new one. 348 00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:27,640 Speaker 1: The Madden curse has been broken for years and years 349 00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:29,960 Speaker 1: and years and years. I'm just has anybody checked in 350 00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:33,000 Speaker 1: on Sue Bird? What's going on with this Seattle store? 351 00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:36,320 Speaker 1: Chuck Barkley? Like inside the NBA seems to be doing fine, 352 00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:39,840 Speaker 1: but I'm worried about it. I'm way into this. Colonel 353 00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:41,320 Speaker 1: O'Brien us to do a bit called the Curse of 354 00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:43,680 Speaker 1: Cocoon because all the cast members kept dying because they're 355 00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:45,800 Speaker 1: ninety years old. That was the joke. However, I do, 356 00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:47,879 Speaker 1: I am in on this, and I gotta think there 357 00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:50,920 Speaker 1: is something realistic about like, oh, I got the call 358 00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:52,840 Speaker 1: that I'm on the Manni cast. I'm the best player 359 00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:54,600 Speaker 1: in the world. I can just mail in this game 360 00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:57,240 Speaker 1: against the Jaguars. There is a little something going on 361 00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:00,119 Speaker 1: there about feeling yourself. What about the Monday night not 362 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:04,240 Speaker 1: being in the film room. You're busy, should be watching film. 363 00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:07,880 Speaker 1: Why is Stafford not studying tape? And maybe if Josh 364 00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:10,239 Speaker 1: Allen's watching more Jaguars tape unless they're yucking it up 365 00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:14,280 Speaker 1: with the ELI, it's an interesting point. Oh my god, 366 00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:15,879 Speaker 1: So now we're all watching it seems gonna be there, 367 00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:17,760 Speaker 1: but no, thank you. You know what show doesn't have 368 00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:21,159 Speaker 1: a curse? Marshall the Good Morning Football probab come on in. 369 00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:25,000 Speaker 1: You know I would like that full screen with exactly 370 00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:28,800 Speaker 1: have enough time in three hours, Peter, after coming on 371 00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:31,720 Speaker 1: our show, you felt you felt the Good Morning football bump. 372 00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:33,720 Speaker 1: You'd come on, you'd feel good about yourself. That's a 373 00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:38,240 Speaker 1: great vine. Is the definition of the word clutch. He's 374 00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:41,280 Speaker 1: coming off the eighteenth game winning field goal in his career. 375 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:44,320 Speaker 1: This Manna set records throughout his NFL career, including a 376 00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:47,200 Speaker 1: mind blowing sixty six yard field goal, which is so crazy. 377 00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:49,600 Speaker 1: To actually think about back in Week three that set 378 00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:53,560 Speaker 1: the record for the longest field goal in actual NFL history. 379 00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:58,399 Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen, put your hands together for justin to 380 00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:05,800 Speaker 1: what's up, guys, Hey, thanks for having me again. Hey, 381 00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:08,440 Speaker 1: we're so happy to have you here. Whenever you want 382 00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:10,359 Speaker 1: to stop by. You got a big game early this 383 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:14,320 Speaker 1: week against Miami on Thursday Night football. But for another 384 00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:16,920 Speaker 1: instance this past week, the Ravens no stranger to overtime 385 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:19,600 Speaker 1: this season. Three games going into extra minutes. We're all 386 00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:22,680 Speaker 1: sweating and stressed out. That's counting, not counting the two 387 00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:24,920 Speaker 1: additional games aside in the final minutes. By the way, 388 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:28,320 Speaker 1: what is your mindset? Describe it to me when you 389 00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:30,560 Speaker 1: know you're going to be called on to kick that 390 00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:34,520 Speaker 1: game winning field goal. Yeah. I feel like I'll sound 391 00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:37,520 Speaker 1: like a broken record at this point, But everything is 392 00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:41,199 Speaker 1: all about seeing the ball and striking the ball, trusting 393 00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:46,840 Speaker 1: the technique, focusing on the action over the consequence, and 394 00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:50,200 Speaker 1: you know, seeing the snap come back. Nick Moore, as 395 00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:53,640 Speaker 1: as he's you know already's proven he can do quite well, 396 00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:56,439 Speaker 1: throws back twelve o'clock places. Sam Cook does an excellent 397 00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:58,840 Speaker 1: job as always, spot in the ball for me, ball 398 00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:03,320 Speaker 1: kicks itself at that and uh, you know seeing the 399 00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:06,000 Speaker 1: ball go through the uprights is you know in those moments, 400 00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:10,760 Speaker 1: is it's an amazing feeling. Let's go back to Week three, 401 00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:14,480 Speaker 1: justin because it's maybe the turning point of the Ravens season. 402 00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:17,119 Speaker 1: You guys are down by one point in Detroit and 403 00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,600 Speaker 1: things aren't going your way, and then Lamar makes a 404 00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:21,240 Speaker 1: couple of big plays and you get the ball just 405 00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:24,880 Speaker 1: over the fifty yard line. Obviously, remember what happens from there. 406 00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:27,640 Speaker 1: But I want to go into your mindset because it's 407 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,320 Speaker 1: not only a game winning field goal, it's a sixty 408 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:33,800 Speaker 1: six yard record setting game winning field goal. You trot 409 00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:37,000 Speaker 1: onto that field knowing what's at stake, what's going through 410 00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:41,240 Speaker 1: justin Tucker's head. Uh, There's there's a lot that's going 411 00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:45,000 Speaker 1: through my head. Um. One of the first things I 412 00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:47,560 Speaker 1: can think of is, well, i left three points out 413 00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:50,600 Speaker 1: there earlier in the game when I missed a forty 414 00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:53,640 Speaker 1: nine yard or in the first quarter. So I'm gonna 415 00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:55,880 Speaker 1: have an opportunity to make up for that, which is nice, 416 00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:59,520 Speaker 1: But it's from sixty six yards away, so I'm gonna 417 00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:02,560 Speaker 1: have to uh dig a little bit deeper to you know, 418 00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:04,280 Speaker 1: find a way to just get this ball to go. 419 00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:08,160 Speaker 1: And you know, like I just mentioned, Nick throws back 420 00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:11,200 Speaker 1: a great snap. Sam gives me a great spot. Guys 421 00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:13,560 Speaker 1: up front hold for just like a tenth of a 422 00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:16,879 Speaker 1: second longer than they normally would have to, because when 423 00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:18,639 Speaker 1: you're sixty six yards away, you got to find a 424 00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:22,639 Speaker 1: way to you know, put a little extra juice behind 425 00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:25,480 Speaker 1: that ball. So I took a little crow hop into it, 426 00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:29,240 Speaker 1: got the ball off in about one point four seconds 427 00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:32,240 Speaker 1: as opposed to you know, typical one point two five 428 00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:35,800 Speaker 1: to one point three to five seconds. Um. But uh, 429 00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:38,159 Speaker 1: you know, when you're sixty six yards away, you can 430 00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:40,000 Speaker 1: kind of swing for the fences and no one is 431 00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:42,960 Speaker 1: really like truly, no one's really expecting you to make it, 432 00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:48,440 Speaker 1: um except for you know, the people that are directly 433 00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:53,600 Speaker 1: involved in you know making that kick. So um. Now, 434 00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:56,879 Speaker 1: if it was you know, if it was a thirty 435 00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:58,920 Speaker 1: six yard or like we we had this last week, 436 00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:03,040 Speaker 1: there's there's almost more pressure because everyone's kind of expecting 437 00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:06,679 Speaker 1: you to make that. So when you're when you're an 438 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:08,879 Speaker 1: additional thirty yards away, you can kind of swing for 439 00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:10,840 Speaker 1: the fences, which is exactly what we did. I mean, 440 00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:14,080 Speaker 1: I just swung out of my shoes and got the 441 00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:16,880 Speaker 1: ball just far enough. I think we had a little 442 00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:20,760 Speaker 1: divine intervention help that ballunce the bounce the right way. 443 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:26,480 Speaker 1: So so thankful for that, yeah, or to lie in intervention, 444 00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:28,760 Speaker 1: I think they call it. I'm getting a comfort about 445 00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:31,879 Speaker 1: it because that kick took a victory lap last night 446 00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:33,840 Speaker 1: the Bears attempt at a sixty six yard field able 447 00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:35,399 Speaker 1: to end the game, and it was woefully short, as 448 00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:37,680 Speaker 1: you showed how incredible yours was justin after years. In 449 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:41,320 Speaker 1: Week three, you got a visit from the esteemed Madden 450 00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:45,520 Speaker 1: ratings adjuster and we're finally bumped on to a ninety 451 00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:48,359 Speaker 1: nine overall rating for a limited time like the McRib 452 00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:51,119 Speaker 1: or something, making you the only kicker to have a 453 00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:53,800 Speaker 1: ninety nine rating in Madden history. What was your reaction 454 00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:57,520 Speaker 1: to seeing that change and what took so long? You know, 455 00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:00,720 Speaker 1: I was pretty stoked. I um, like, I love the 456 00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:03,679 Speaker 1: Madden franchise. Like I've always always had the game ever 457 00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:06,000 Speaker 1: since I was a kid. So you know, first of all, 458 00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:08,240 Speaker 1: just to be on the game, just to be you know, 459 00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:11,240 Speaker 1: featured as a player in the game. Uh, coming in 460 00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:15,280 Speaker 1: my rookie year, with no avatar, like no um, you know, 461 00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:17,760 Speaker 1: actual picture I just had like the little silhouette guy 462 00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:23,720 Speaker 1: for even even that was the shadow guy. Uh. Even 463 00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:26,719 Speaker 1: just having you know, even just getting to experience that, um, 464 00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:30,560 Speaker 1: you know for the last decade now is uh, it's 465 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:33,760 Speaker 1: it's incredibly special. Um. But then to be bumped up 466 00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:35,320 Speaker 1: to the nine, you know, to the ninety nine club 467 00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:38,800 Speaker 1: like the mc rib for a limited time is uh, 468 00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:42,120 Speaker 1: it's it's still pretty cool. But I hit up Chad 469 00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:45,359 Speaker 1: Steele as soon as uh that uh you know that 470 00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:47,040 Speaker 1: was announced that I was I was going to be 471 00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:50,520 Speaker 1: in the ninety nine club for a limited time. I asked, Chad, Hey, 472 00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:52,240 Speaker 1: can you know, can you pull some strings and see 473 00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:53,480 Speaker 1: if I can get one of those like you know, 474 00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:57,240 Speaker 1: diamond and crusted ninety nine chains? Are you know, like 475 00:23:57,320 --> 00:24:00,760 Speaker 1: the Golden States that you know, these guys revealed these 476 00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:05,119 Speaker 1: amazing unboxing videos in the off season. You know, I mean, like, 477 00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:08,359 Speaker 1: I know, I'm not Patrick Mahomes or um, you know, 478 00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:11,040 Speaker 1: or Aaron Donald, but you know, if even if just 479 00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:13,200 Speaker 1: for a limited time, they could put a little asterisk 480 00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:15,320 Speaker 1: next to the ninety nine on the chain, I'd be 481 00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:17,440 Speaker 1: fine with that. But you know, I would I would 482 00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:19,760 Speaker 1: have loved to have that. So maybe maybe you guys, um, 483 00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:22,200 Speaker 1: you know, with Good Morning Football. I know you guys 484 00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:25,119 Speaker 1: have some pull. Maybe you guys can make that happen 485 00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:29,400 Speaker 1: for me. Maybe we will. Well I'll say what man, Hey, listen, 486 00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:32,400 Speaker 1: if you add Pastor Mahomes and a D they'll think 487 00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:34,240 Speaker 1: that you're a ninety nine just like them. Yeah, you 488 00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:37,400 Speaker 1: deserve it. But so we're talking Rayman's football. So yesterday 489 00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:39,560 Speaker 1: on this show, I said, you're not a Hall of 490 00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:41,760 Speaker 1: Fame kicker, no, no, no, no, but a Hall of 491 00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:44,360 Speaker 1: Fame player. When you hear things like that in statements, 492 00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:48,480 Speaker 1: what does that mean to you? I mean, that's that's 493 00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:53,920 Speaker 1: incredibly high praise. Uh and it's uh, you know, it's meaningful. Um. 494 00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:57,159 Speaker 1: You know, one of the one of the reasons we 495 00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:59,840 Speaker 1: all play this game is to you know, to achieve 496 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,840 Speaker 1: some sort of recognition so we you know, can leave 497 00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:05,600 Speaker 1: leave our mark on the game, you know, leave our legacy, 498 00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:08,560 Speaker 1: so to speaking. Ray Lewis talked about that all the time. Um, 499 00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:11,720 Speaker 1: you know the you know, at the exact same time 500 00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:18,280 Speaker 1: the individual accolades and awards or recognition, Um, they they 501 00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:21,040 Speaker 1: are absolutely special, but they pale in comparison to the 502 00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:24,480 Speaker 1: feeling of celebrating with your teammates after you know, like 503 00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:26,760 Speaker 1: I mean, you guys are showing off, uh, you know, 504 00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:29,399 Speaker 1: showing all these these kicks that that get made, that 505 00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:32,879 Speaker 1: you know, that have won games, and um, you know, 506 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:35,480 Speaker 1: I want to emphasize we make those kicks. You know, 507 00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:40,240 Speaker 1: we get in position to put games away because you know, 508 00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:44,119 Speaker 1: whether it's you know, Joe Blacco or Lamar Jackson or 509 00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:48,239 Speaker 1: uh defense getting a you know, a late stop when 510 00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:50,959 Speaker 1: we need it. Um, being a part of those moments, 511 00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:55,320 Speaker 1: uh is is really what it's all about. So um, 512 00:25:55,800 --> 00:26:00,680 Speaker 1: you know hearing hearing gold jacket talk right now, It's 513 00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:05,919 Speaker 1: it's special. I embrace it. I think any any reasonable 514 00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:10,280 Speaker 1: player would absolutely do the same thing. But I can 515 00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:12,680 Speaker 1: tell you while you're in it, you just you enjoy 516 00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:16,320 Speaker 1: the moment for what it's worth, and it's worth more 517 00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:19,240 Speaker 1: when you get to share the moment with you know, 518 00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:24,280 Speaker 1: people you love being around. Enjoy it. Embrace it. Well 519 00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:26,399 Speaker 1: said and well deserved as well. All that Hall of 520 00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:31,480 Speaker 1: Fame talk. The King of Klutch Justin Tucker, Hey, thanks 521 00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:34,960 Speaker 1: for having me, guys, now, welcome back to the show. 522 00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:37,520 Speaker 1: A three time Super Bowl champion he's the vice president 523 00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:40,040 Speaker 1: of player personnel to New England Patriots. He's also a 524 00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:42,640 Speaker 1: general manager for the Chiefs and an assistant general manager 525 00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:46,320 Speaker 1: for the Atlanta Falcons. Let's bring on Scott peel By. 526 00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:50,600 Speaker 1: Good morning everyone, Good morning, great to have you on, Scott. 527 00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:54,879 Speaker 1: And the NFL is quite a whirlwind this season, and 528 00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:58,400 Speaker 1: the latest is Jordan Love making his first career start 529 00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:02,359 Speaker 1: under the most unlikely of circum stace isn't. Unfortunately, he struggled. 530 00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:05,560 Speaker 1: Is it possible that a performance like that could actually 531 00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:10,840 Speaker 1: completely change and shift the long term decision making of 532 00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:13,680 Speaker 1: a franchise when they look at player personnel and a 533 00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:17,600 Speaker 1: roster Peter, I guess it's possible, but it really shouldn't 534 00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:20,560 Speaker 1: because again, you've mentioned the circumstances that he had that 535 00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:25,120 Speaker 1: week leading into his first start were I would say unprecedented. 536 00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:28,240 Speaker 1: So he walks into a week where there's mental distractions, 537 00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:31,359 Speaker 1: there's emotional distractions, he's got to come in for a 538 00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:33,800 Speaker 1: starting quarterback that's not going to be around to help 539 00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:35,959 Speaker 1: him during the week of practice, to not help him 540 00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:38,680 Speaker 1: on the sideline. Because that's something that's real that happens 541 00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:41,560 Speaker 1: in the NFL when a young player takes over Sometimes 542 00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:45,399 Speaker 1: they have that veteran presence next to him during the 543 00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:47,880 Speaker 1: in between, the breaks in between the series to help 544 00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:50,280 Speaker 1: him out. He didn't have any of that, and to me, 545 00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:52,560 Speaker 1: I don't think that they should overreact. What I did 546 00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:55,840 Speaker 1: love seeing after the game was Matt Laflour coming right 547 00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:59,080 Speaker 1: out and saying, hey, this falls on me squarely, the 548 00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:01,840 Speaker 1: player not being ready, the quarterback not being ready. His 549 00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:06,040 Speaker 1: performance was based on what I did, not what he did. 550 00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:08,600 Speaker 1: Because what has to happen now is they've now seen 551 00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:11,480 Speaker 1: him in a game situation. They have to evaluates his strength, 552 00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:14,359 Speaker 1: evaluate his strengths, his limitations, and now what they have 553 00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:18,119 Speaker 1: to do moving forward is accentuate his positives and limit 554 00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:20,840 Speaker 1: his limitations. Of what Matt Lafleur was saying is I'm 555 00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:25,240 Speaker 1: going to take care of that for Jordan Love. Scott 556 00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:27,160 Speaker 1: Odell Beckham Junior is out there, doesn't have a team, 557 00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:30,119 Speaker 1: and there's a take that actually the Browns are better 558 00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:33,760 Speaker 1: without him. A lot of opinions about Odell is a 559 00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:36,040 Speaker 1: lot a lot of player, a lot of talent, a 560 00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:38,400 Speaker 1: lot of person. It's just a lot of everything. What 561 00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:41,880 Speaker 1: goes into an organization's thoughts when they're going to release 562 00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:45,120 Speaker 1: a player considered one of the best whiteouts in the 563 00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:48,960 Speaker 1: league at one point and a super talented guy. You know, Kyle, 564 00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:51,960 Speaker 1: you said something really important there. At one time he 565 00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:54,600 Speaker 1: was considered one of the best receivers in the league. 566 00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:57,160 Speaker 1: So now, when you get into circumstances like this, where 567 00:28:57,160 --> 00:29:00,720 Speaker 1: you've have an unhappy player, a team that's unhappy with 568 00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:04,320 Speaker 1: the player, you start putting it on the scales of 569 00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:08,200 Speaker 1: bounds and you say, Okay, is the juice worth the squeeze? 570 00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:11,680 Speaker 1: Is he worth having come around? Is he helping the 571 00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:14,240 Speaker 1: team hurting the team? Is this going to be additioned 572 00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:17,200 Speaker 1: by subtraction if we move away from the player. So 573 00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:20,360 Speaker 1: what happened is they huddled. They realized the marriage wasn't working. 574 00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:22,400 Speaker 1: They were trying to keep it as quiet as possible, 575 00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:25,440 Speaker 1: but it's nearly impossible in situations like this, and I've 576 00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:27,840 Speaker 1: been in situations like this. What you want to do 577 00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:31,120 Speaker 1: is make a decision, move on, make sure that both 578 00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:33,360 Speaker 1: sides try to win. You know, you know, you don't 579 00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:35,080 Speaker 1: want to poke the player in the eye because you've 580 00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:37,000 Speaker 1: got other players that are watching how you're going to 581 00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:39,520 Speaker 1: behave But the key thing is the Browns had to 582 00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:42,080 Speaker 1: pay attention to precedent in this and if you have 583 00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:44,640 Speaker 1: a player that wants out and you just let a 584 00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:48,080 Speaker 1: player get out, then you're setting this precedent that anytime 585 00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:51,120 Speaker 1: there's a player that's unhappy with the situation, they've realized 586 00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:53,760 Speaker 1: that there's a path to get themselves out of the program. 587 00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:56,720 Speaker 1: So it's a lot to weigh within all this. Hopefully 588 00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:59,160 Speaker 1: this will end where both sides win and both sides 589 00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:02,600 Speaker 1: are happy the end. That would be nice. Thank you 590 00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:05,040 Speaker 1: so much, Scott Paoli. They'd waken up with us, given 591 00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:08,200 Speaker 1: us your analysis. The Week nine was upset City, wasn't it. 592 00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:11,760 Speaker 1: Bills to the Jags, the Cowboys loose to the Broncos, 593 00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:14,160 Speaker 1: the Rams fall to the Titans on Sunday Night Football. 594 00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:17,480 Speaker 1: What are the conversations like in the building a day 595 00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:21,560 Speaker 1: after a loss like that at this point in the season. Okay, 596 00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:24,440 Speaker 1: I think you don't overreact. You know, Leshawn said something 597 00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:27,480 Speaker 1: before that I thought was really important. We had a 598 00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:30,360 Speaker 1: bad game. That doesn't make us a bad team, and 599 00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:33,000 Speaker 1: I agree with that one hundred percent. Yet there's also 600 00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:35,600 Speaker 1: this bounce where the team has to acknowledge that they 601 00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:38,360 Speaker 1: had a stinker. They really did, so when you look 602 00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:41,320 Speaker 1: at the situation. Take for instance, the Rams. The Rams 603 00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:44,320 Speaker 1: had turnovers that they never had. A quarterback Matthew Stafford, 604 00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:46,800 Speaker 1: who's one of the best quarterbacks in the National Football League, 605 00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:49,880 Speaker 1: made some decisions that are just so completely out of character. 606 00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:53,040 Speaker 1: He has to own them and grow from them. They 607 00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:55,840 Speaker 1: had twelve penalties for I think one hundred and fifteen yards. 608 00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:59,480 Speaker 1: That is not Rams football. Sean McVay prior to that 609 00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:01,720 Speaker 1: his team with the least penalized team in the league. 610 00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:03,120 Speaker 1: So what I think you need to do is go 611 00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:05,680 Speaker 1: in there and Monday, tell the truth, but not just 612 00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:07,920 Speaker 1: say oh, that's not us. We're going to get better 613 00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:10,760 Speaker 1: than that. You have to have true peer accountability in 614 00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:14,680 Speaker 1: the locker room and say, Okay, we stunk, we did 615 00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:17,160 Speaker 1: this bad, but why did we do it? There needs 616 00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:20,760 Speaker 1: to be again as bounce between acknowledging your failure but 617 00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:24,920 Speaker 1: really coming up with tangible reasons why we've failed and 618 00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:30,760 Speaker 1: move forward. Hey, Scott Russell Wilson has been cleared about 619 00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:33,880 Speaker 1: doctors to play on Sunday against the Packers after undergoing 620 00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:36,480 Speaker 1: surgery on his right hand. What do you see as 621 00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:38,840 Speaker 1: the pros and cons of starting a quarterback coming off 622 00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:42,600 Speaker 1: a surgery? Like that, Leshon, I only see the pros 623 00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:45,240 Speaker 1: because you've got this great situation, what looks like a 624 00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:48,400 Speaker 1: great situation. Now you've got a player that's really positive, upbeat, 625 00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:52,920 Speaker 1: and confident in what the injury is. You've got doctors 626 00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:55,640 Speaker 1: that are saying he's fine, he's ready to go. Then 627 00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:58,680 Speaker 1: what happened yesterday was he threw the ball in practice 628 00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:02,080 Speaker 1: and Pete Carol ad about how it was going. So 629 00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:05,880 Speaker 1: to me, this is a terrific situation for the Seattle 630 00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:09,200 Speaker 1: Seahawks because the process is you have it a player 631 00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:12,880 Speaker 1: coming back from an injury. The trainers talk, the doctors talk, 632 00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:15,920 Speaker 1: the general manager and the head coach. Everyone is gathered, 633 00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:18,680 Speaker 1: but you're also communicating from those different viewpoints with the 634 00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:21,240 Speaker 1: player to make sure that the player's mindset is right, 635 00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:23,800 Speaker 1: because what you don't want is a player to go 636 00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:27,440 Speaker 1: into a game with an injury or think that he 637 00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:29,400 Speaker 1: has an injury, or have it out. One of the 638 00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:32,080 Speaker 1: most important things I learned about players that are injured. 639 00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:35,280 Speaker 1: The reason that Bill Parcel's back in the day didn't 640 00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:39,520 Speaker 1: want players talking about injuries wasn't to give information to 641 00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:41,840 Speaker 1: the other team. It was because when players went into 642 00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:43,520 Speaker 1: a game, if they were talking about an injury and 643 00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:46,680 Speaker 1: letting the public know about an injury. If they succeeded 644 00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:49,080 Speaker 1: that week, they were a hero, and it was taking 645 00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:52,280 Speaker 1: away from what the team did and the greater good. 646 00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:55,640 Speaker 1: If the player failed, he had this built in excuse 647 00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:58,800 Speaker 1: for failure because he wasn't one hundred percent because as 648 00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:02,560 Speaker 1: you know, Lashawn players one hundred percent even entering the 649 00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:05,320 Speaker 1: regular season. So to me, I think what the Seahawks 650 00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:08,320 Speaker 1: have going on? Right, here's this confluence of really good 651 00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:10,720 Speaker 1: news and I'm expecting to see something good out of 652 00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:15,080 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson this week. Yeah.

I don't know if you guys remember 658 00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:29,840 Speaker 1: when I was living in my house Atlanta, I always 659 00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:32,520 Speaker 1: had the background picture the sports illustrated with Tick Buckets. 660 00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:35,640 Speaker 1: I wore number fifty one throughout my entire childhood, through 661 00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:39,719 Speaker 1: high school through college football.

And what 669 00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:08,520 Speaker 1: we're doing here is we're building a team, all right. 670 00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:11,320 Speaker 1: You can't do it without a guy. They can finish 671 00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:28,399 Speaker 1: the game for you the first time as a head coach. 672 00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:35,279 Speaker 1: See on Wednesday.

Morning guys, Hi, mister Staley, and happy 679 00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:59,919 Speaker 1: birthday to your five year old son who turns five today. 680 00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,759 Speaker 1: Will Staley out there celebrating hopefully and eating all the 681 00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:04,640 Speaker 1: sugar he can get his hands on. But let's top 682 00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:06,839 Speaker 1: a little ball here. I'm very excited about this team 683 00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:09,319 Speaker 1: going into week nine. Your squad was coming off back 684 00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:11,160 Speaker 1: to back losses. I was getting a little nervous. You 685 00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:13,360 Speaker 1: lose to the Ravens, you lose to the Patriots, then 686 00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:14,600 Speaker 1: you go to the East Coast and you beat the 687 00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:17,760 Speaker 1: Eagles on the last second field and goal. Justin herbert 688 00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:21,600 Speaker 1: big performance in the comeback. Tell me about the level 689 00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:24,960 Speaker 1: of maturity that your young quarterback showed on Sunday, being 690 00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:27,239 Speaker 1: able to put those losses behind him and focusing on 691 00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:30,800 Speaker 1: what's ahead of him. Yeah, Justin had a big time performance. 692 00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:33,160 Speaker 1: I think he kind of embodies that calm is contagious, 693 00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:35,000 Speaker 1: I think for all of us. I think that's such 694 00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:37,120 Speaker 1: a special trade of his. I think he had a 695 00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:40,120 Speaker 1: really awesome week of practice after two tough games, and Kay, 696 00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:42,800 Speaker 1: you said it just you know, those two weeks that 697 00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:45,520 Speaker 1: didn't happen for him like he hoped. But I felt 698 00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:47,200 Speaker 1: like he learned a lot from both those games. And 699 00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:49,480 Speaker 1: I felt like he really came out aggressive in the 700 00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:51,520 Speaker 1: football game. And I think that one thing that allowed 701 00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:52,920 Speaker 1: him to play so well is it was a line 702 00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:55,759 Speaker 1: of scrimmage game. Our offensive line really really one the 703 00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:58,200 Speaker 1: day for us, and we had some really big performances 704 00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:01,240 Speaker 1: from our skill positions. We kind of spread it around. 705 00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:03,520 Speaker 1: Everyone touched the ball and it was just a really 706 00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:06,879 Speaker 1: complete performance for us offensively, and Justin certainly led the way. 707 00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:11,480 Speaker 1: He went thirty two of thirty eight first three fifty 708 00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:14,320 Speaker 1: six and two tugs. And the best part about this 709 00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:16,480 Speaker 1: team and this win that we were watching on Sunday, 710 00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:19,600 Speaker 1: last six minutes of the game, Eagles never got the ball. 711 00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:22,840 Speaker 1: That's because of an aggressive nature that you have built 712 00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:25,279 Speaker 1: with this team. Let's talk about it going for it 713 00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:27,400 Speaker 1: on fourth down. You've been really big on it. And 714 00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:30,560 Speaker 1: then Sunday we saw it again. First it's the Austin 715 00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:32,640 Speaker 1: Ekeler leap, and then it's the timeout, and then it's 716 00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:35,480 Speaker 1: this decision do we bring out the kicker where we 717 00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:37,800 Speaker 1: bring out Justin to keep the chains moving and you 718 00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:40,320 Speaker 1: guys bring out Justin Herbert on our fourth down to 719 00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:42,800 Speaker 1: get the quarterback snake and to convert it. Let me 720 00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:45,799 Speaker 1: ask you, was there ever a doubt during that time out? 721 00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:48,440 Speaker 1: Are we going for this or are we bringing out 722 00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:51,600 Speaker 1: Hopkins to put the game away here? I think the 723 00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:54,040 Speaker 1: decision was more which play was it going to be? 724 00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:55,960 Speaker 1: I really wanted to finish the game with the ball 725 00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:58,920 Speaker 1: after I saw Nick, you know, use those timeouts. I 726 00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:01,000 Speaker 1: knew he was trying to treat possession for himself at 727 00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:02,600 Speaker 1: the end of the game, and I felt like where 728 00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:05,479 Speaker 1: that ball was at, I just felt like we would 729 00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:07,719 Speaker 1: make this first down and then we would finish the 730 00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:10,239 Speaker 1: game with the ball on art terms and I would 731 00:37:10,239 --> 00:37:11,440 Speaker 1: be able to live with that. And I felt like 732 00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:14,040 Speaker 1: our offensive team was just really playing at a high level. 733 00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:17,000 Speaker 1: I liked the matchup. I really liked our design at 734 00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:18,759 Speaker 1: the time, and I think, you know, our guys are 735 00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:21,120 Speaker 1: used to being in those situations, you know, even within 736 00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:23,800 Speaker 1: that own drive. You know, we went for it before 737 00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:26,000 Speaker 1: that and made it, and I just felt really confident 738 00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:28,040 Speaker 1: in our group and Justin was able to make the 739 00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:30,120 Speaker 1: play for us, and then we split them on a run, 740 00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:33,200 Speaker 1: you know, late, and he got in there even closer. 741 00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:35,399 Speaker 1: And that, as a coach is a great feeling, knowing 742 00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:38,000 Speaker 1: that you really finished the game, you know, playing your 743 00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:42,279 Speaker 1: best ball. Thirty two teams, there's not a team that's 744 00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:44,640 Speaker 1: more fun to watch than the Chargers this year. Coach, 745 00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:47,440 Speaker 1: It's incredible, and you're right in the middle of it. Obviously. 746 00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:50,360 Speaker 1: We love your background, We love the ladder that you climbed, 747 00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:55,120 Speaker 1: specifically from John Carroll University, the Blue Streaks. Just five 748 00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:57,840 Speaker 1: years ago you were running their defense, a great Division 749 00:37:57,880 --> 00:38:00,600 Speaker 1: three program. You are now the head coach of the Chargers. 750 00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:02,800 Speaker 1: Coach for somebody who's watching this, who might be in 751 00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:05,120 Speaker 1: coaching or just in their own line of work, and 752 00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:06,440 Speaker 1: they want to know, how do I get ahead? How 753 00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:08,359 Speaker 1: do I climb? I want to get that job? What's 754 00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:11,719 Speaker 1: the secret to making that journey that quickly? I think 755 00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:13,839 Speaker 1: you know that that statement, like be where your feet 756 00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:17,319 Speaker 1: are and be present and really maximize your role, whatever 757 00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:19,920 Speaker 1: role that is, is really important. And I think like 758 00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:22,680 Speaker 1: what really happened for me was I always was and 759 00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:25,120 Speaker 1: envisioning I was in the NFL. When I was at 760 00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:28,320 Speaker 1: John Carroll, I was calling plays like I was defending 761 00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:31,880 Speaker 1: Tom Brady or Russell Wilson or Aaron Rodgers or Pat Mahomes. 762 00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:33,959 Speaker 1: That's how I was doing it. Now we were playing 763 00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:36,600 Speaker 1: against Mountain Union and Wisconsin Whitewater. It was they were 764 00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:39,440 Speaker 1: different teams, great opponents, but that's where my mind was. 765 00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:42,160 Speaker 1: And even though I was coaching in college, I had 766 00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:44,919 Speaker 1: a double education going. I was studying the NFL every 767 00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:48,040 Speaker 1: single week and staying current with everything that was happening 768 00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:49,759 Speaker 1: in the NFL because that was my dream. And I 769 00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:52,520 Speaker 1: think that if you have aspirations of doing something, you 770 00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:54,960 Speaker 1: really have to work at your game. You know, you're 771 00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:57,239 Speaker 1: not just gonna let, you know, sort of have this 772 00:38:57,480 --> 00:38:59,759 Speaker 1: you know, lucky path where hey, a couple of things 773 00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:01,560 Speaker 1: go your way and then all of a sudden you're 774 00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:03,440 Speaker 1: where you want to be. You gotta make your breaks 775 00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:06,480 Speaker 1: happen because of how good you are, you know. And uh, 776 00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:08,120 Speaker 1: and I feel like that's something I've tried to do, 777 00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:09,840 Speaker 1: is be a complete coach. So if I got the 778 00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:12,560 Speaker 1: opportunity to get in front of a John Fox or 779 00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:14,839 Speaker 1: a Vic fangioll come from John Carroll that I would 780 00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:16,360 Speaker 1: be able to hold up with those guys and be 781 00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:18,920 Speaker 1: able to show them, hey, I belong here. And that's 782 00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:21,440 Speaker 1: all I've tried to do. And uh, it's working my game. 783 00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:23,080 Speaker 1: And even you know now as a head coach, you know, 784 00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:26,160 Speaker 1: every day there's so much to do, Kyle, and I 785 00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:27,719 Speaker 1: think that that's where it starts for me. It's just 786 00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:33,000 Speaker 1: every day waking up knowing you better be working MS. Wow, 787 00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:35,840 Speaker 1: it's great. That's great, man, Hey, colch switching gears for 788 00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:38,360 Speaker 1: a second. So every year the NFL has a cruciing 789 00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:43,160 Speaker 1: catch that brings awareness to cancer screenings adygnostics. So tell 790 00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:46,120 Speaker 1: us about your journey as a cancer survivor. Now the 791 00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:49,400 Speaker 1: NFL crucial catch has impacted your life and also the 792 00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:53,200 Speaker 1: Charger's life, a Charger's family's life. I'm sorry, you know, 793 00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:56,440 Speaker 1: Lashawn number one did to see you and so much 794 00:39:56,520 --> 00:39:59,840 Speaker 1: respect for your game. But you know, I think that 795 00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:03,120 Speaker 1: cancer cancer has been such a big part of my life. 796 00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:05,880 Speaker 1: And you know, since I was six years you know, 797 00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:08,800 Speaker 1: in the sixth grade, my mom being diagnosed with breast cancer. 798 00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:11,840 Speaker 1: She had it for a long time, a really intense 799 00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:15,480 Speaker 1: cancer diagnosis, and as we know, breast cancer affects so 800 00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:18,000 Speaker 1: many women throughout the world. And I got to see 801 00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:19,640 Speaker 1: it up close as a young as a young kid 802 00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:22,000 Speaker 1: growing up, and I saw what cancer can do to you, 803 00:40:22,239 --> 00:40:24,200 Speaker 1: you know, and what you know a person has to 804 00:40:24,280 --> 00:40:26,920 Speaker 1: go through. With my mom and my dad had you know, 805 00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:29,080 Speaker 1: thyroid cancer growing up, and then he just went through 806 00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:31,480 Speaker 1: prostate cancer, so he's a two time cancer patient. And 807 00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:33,920 Speaker 1: then when I went through, you know, my stuff that 808 00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:35,719 Speaker 1: when I was twenty four, my first year in coaching, 809 00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:37,960 Speaker 1: when I had hog skins from foma. It just I 810 00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:40,279 Speaker 1: think that cancer brings out the best in you. I 811 00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:42,480 Speaker 1: think that it reveals a lot of who you are inside, 812 00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:44,719 Speaker 1: and I think that it brings people together. I think 813 00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:46,520 Speaker 1: what I love about the NFL is that Crucial Catch 814 00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:49,120 Speaker 1: initiative brings people to get together, and it also brings 815 00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:52,480 Speaker 1: a lot awareness to a topic that impacts everybody. And 816 00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:54,160 Speaker 1: I know that I wouldn't be the head coach of 817 00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:57,840 Speaker 1: the Chargers today if I weren't a cancer patient. And 818 00:40:57,920 --> 00:40:59,479 Speaker 1: I feel like when I got to the other side 819 00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:03,040 Speaker 1: of my cancer deal, that's when I really took off 820 00:41:03,080 --> 00:41:05,120 Speaker 1: as a coach because I knew where I was headed, 821 00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:08,520 Speaker 1: and there's a feeling, there's a there's a confidence once 822 00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:09,719 Speaker 1: you get to the other side of it that you 823 00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:11,920 Speaker 1: can't explain. And then when you're part of that fraternity 824 00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:14,680 Speaker 1: of people that have been through it, you have a 825 00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:18,000 Speaker 1: real responsibility to set a great example. And that's what 826 00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:19,680 Speaker 1: I've been trying to do ever since, is live the 827 00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:22,360 Speaker 1: example for other people. And it's just amazing what the 828 00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:24,960 Speaker 1: NFL can do for people in so many different initiatives. 829 00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:27,520 Speaker 1: Now it's the Salute to Service Month, and that's amazing 830 00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:29,959 Speaker 1: because what I love about the NFL as that brings 831 00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:34,239 Speaker 1: people together. It's so true. It's such an important perspective 832 00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:36,360 Speaker 1: to have my mom a two time cancer, so virashiate 833 00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:39,120 Speaker 1: throt cancer as well, so it affects absolutely everyone. It's 834 00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:41,160 Speaker 1: such an important perspective to have, and we thank you 835 00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:43,640 Speaker 1: for sharing it with us. As always, coach, let's talk 836 00:41:43,640 --> 00:41:46,600 Speaker 1: a little football though, looking ahead to your next opponent, Vikings. 837 00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:50,200 Speaker 1: They're at home, late game, late window on Sunday. Another 838 00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:52,920 Speaker 1: heartbreaking loss to the Ravens on Sunday, So give us 839 00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:54,440 Speaker 1: a little bit of the Scotter report. What do you 840 00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:58,040 Speaker 1: have to do to ensure success against the Vikings? So 841 00:41:58,160 --> 00:42:00,200 Speaker 1: much respect from Mike Zimmer. You know, one of my 842 00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:02,040 Speaker 1: best friends coach with him for a really long time 843 00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:04,520 Speaker 1: when they were really rolling, and you know what he's 844 00:42:04,520 --> 00:42:06,680 Speaker 1: done at that place is it's just remarkable since he's 845 00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:08,600 Speaker 1: been the head coach there, and they've got a lot 846 00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:10,400 Speaker 1: of really good players, you know, just on an offense, 847 00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:13,879 Speaker 1: you know Dalvin Cook, Adam Feeling, Justin Jefferson, these guys, 848 00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:15,759 Speaker 1: I mean, that's as good as a trio as you're 849 00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:18,200 Speaker 1: gonna find in the National Football League. And we all 850 00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:20,440 Speaker 1: know when Kirk Cousins gets hot, he can really really 851 00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:22,239 Speaker 1: throw it. I really love what they've done on the 852 00:42:22,320 --> 00:42:24,799 Speaker 1: offensive line with dere Saw and I've got a lot 853 00:42:24,840 --> 00:42:27,920 Speaker 1: of respect for Brian Neal, you know, Garret Bradberry.

And then on defense, 857 00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:36,520 Speaker 1: I mean, those guys, I've got so much respect for 858 00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:39,080 Speaker 1: their game. Eric Kendricks, Anthony Barr, Harrison Smith, those guys 859 00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:41,719 Speaker 1: have been there a really long time. Daniel Hunter, I'm 860 00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:45,280 Speaker 1: wishing him a really healthy trick back after his injury 861 00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:47,640 Speaker 1: because he's a heck of a player. Everson Griffin, just 862 00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:49,440 Speaker 1: those guys I have a lot of respect for. I 863 00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:51,279 Speaker 1: was in Chicago and had to go against those guys 864 00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:54,120 Speaker 1: twice a year, and it's a really good football team. 865 00:42:54,120 --> 00:42:56,560 Speaker 1: And I know the record isn't indicative of how talented 866 00:42:56,600 --> 00:42:58,520 Speaker 1: they are and how you know, what that film says 867 00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:01,000 Speaker 1: is this team's really dangerous and they definitely have our 868 00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:03,840 Speaker 1: full attention. They gave Baltimore all they could handle, and 869 00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:05,800 Speaker 1: you know it's gonna be a great game on Sunday. 870 00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:09,360 Speaker 1: We cannot wait.

Let's go back to your playing career, 888 00:44:03,080 --> 00:44:05,279 Speaker 1: if you would. One of the most feared players in 889 00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:09,880 Speaker 1: NFL history, your nicknames included the Enforcer, the Animal, and 890 00:44:10,120 --> 00:44:12,520 Speaker 1: the Maestro of Mayhem. Dick. If someone were to come 891 00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:14,000 Speaker 1: up to you right now, a young person who didn't 892 00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:16,879 Speaker 1: get to see you play and ask you, mister buck Kiss, 893 00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:20,400 Speaker 1: what were you like on the field. How would you answer? Well, 894 00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:25,640 Speaker 1: maybe a little a little of each of your descriptions 895 00:44:25,640 --> 00:44:29,440 Speaker 1: that you just said. I just, you know, I grew 896 00:44:29,560 --> 00:44:31,800 Speaker 1: up loving the game, and I just thought, you know, 897 00:44:31,880 --> 00:44:36,960 Speaker 1: and I just leave everything on the field, and you know, 898 00:44:37,120 --> 00:44:40,000 Speaker 1: this shaking hands and all his business. I didn't really 899 00:44:40,080 --> 00:44:43,560 Speaker 1: believe in that I'm playing against somebody trying to beat 900 00:44:43,600 --> 00:44:46,400 Speaker 1: and I'm not gonna, you know, be patting them on 901 00:44:46,480 --> 00:44:49,799 Speaker 1: the back and helping people up. So whatever I could 902 00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:54,040 Speaker 1: do to, you know, kind of destroy their desire to 903 00:44:54,800 --> 00:44:58,759 Speaker 1: play well is what? What was my goal? And the 904 00:44:58,840 --> 00:45:01,839 Speaker 1: way to do that is just to people here playing 905 00:45:01,880 --> 00:45:06,560 Speaker 1: and simple hit her playing and simple Dick but is 906 00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:08,879 Speaker 1: joining us. We've gotten three times Super Bowl champ part 907 00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:11,520 Speaker 1: oats here as well. The Bears and Giants among the 908 00:45:11,719 --> 00:45:15,480 Speaker 1: NFL's most lasting franchises. Nine seasons with the Giants. What 909 00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:18,319 Speaker 1: was the most unique part about representing such a proud 910 00:45:18,440 --> 00:45:23,040 Speaker 1: city and organization like the New York Giants. We just 911 00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:27,879 Speaker 1: had a great camaraderie. Bill was parcels with the coach 912 00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:31,320 Speaker 1: when I came in and had was a guy, not 913 00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:34,000 Speaker 1: not the easiest guy to play for, but he was 914 00:45:34,040 --> 00:45:37,520 Speaker 1: a guy that you know, if you followed his lead, 915 00:45:37,680 --> 00:45:40,640 Speaker 1: he was going to put together a team and put 916 00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:43,200 Speaker 1: you in a position to win. And that's that's what 917 00:45:43,280 --> 00:45:45,160 Speaker 1: he did. We weren't a great offense, but we had 918 00:45:45,200 --> 00:45:47,879 Speaker 1: a great defense. There were times that we we'd come 919 00:45:47,880 --> 00:45:51,160 Speaker 1: off the field after we had a turnover. He'd get it, 920 00:45:51,200 --> 00:45:53,799 Speaker 1: it's all together and he'd yelled at us and he'd see, guys, 921 00:45:53,840 --> 00:45:55,560 Speaker 1: I don't need you to win a game, just don't 922 00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:58,640 Speaker 1: lose it for my defense. So every he was a 923 00:45:58,680 --> 00:46:00,440 Speaker 1: guy to just just give him a little lead and 924 00:46:00,520 --> 00:46:03,120 Speaker 1: he'll let the special teams and the defense take over 925 00:46:03,200 --> 00:46:06,560 Speaker 1: and so um. It was not the easiest for an 926 00:46:06,600 --> 00:46:09,840 Speaker 1: offensive guy, but listen, we won and it worked. It 927 00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:12,920 Speaker 1: was it was a system that he put together, and uh, 928 00:46:13,480 --> 00:46:19,040 Speaker 1: it was. It was just an awesome time. Dick. I'm 929 00:46:19,160 --> 00:46:22,000 Speaker 1: so thankful that I have to play a run the 930 00:46:22,040 --> 00:46:27,840 Speaker 1: ball against somebody like you. Thank God. Now now you 931 00:46:28,040 --> 00:46:31,000 Speaker 1: joined the Bears the same year as the legendary Bears 932 00:46:31,080 --> 00:46:33,480 Speaker 1: running back Gail Says, who was by far one of 933 00:46:33,560 --> 00:46:36,239 Speaker 1: my favorite running backs of all time. But for the 934 00:46:36,360 --> 00:46:39,840 Speaker 1: young generation who hasn't seen Gail Says play in person. 935 00:46:40,239 --> 00:46:44,760 Speaker 1: What made Gail Sies a running back of his own generation? 936 00:46:45,239 --> 00:46:47,120 Speaker 1: And you know, as any running back have you seen 937 00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:51,480 Speaker 1: so far? Um, you know, amount it's his talent. I 938 00:46:51,600 --> 00:46:55,960 Speaker 1: think the latest guy would be maybe Barry Sanders. Um. 939 00:46:56,560 --> 00:47:01,320 Speaker 1: Gail had this ability to change direction on a dime 940 00:47:01,400 --> 00:47:03,640 Speaker 1: at full speed and uh, you know, I had a 941 00:47:03,760 --> 00:47:07,440 Speaker 1: practice against him every day and uh, and that's why 942 00:47:07,480 --> 00:47:10,440 Speaker 1: I a previewed some of my success to him, because 943 00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:14,720 Speaker 1: if I could tackle Gale and practice, I could tackle anybody. 944 00:47:15,360 --> 00:47:18,040 Speaker 1: And you know, he could throw the ball and he 945 00:47:18,320 --> 00:47:22,760 Speaker 1: just had the ability and to stop on a diamond, 946 00:47:22,840 --> 00:47:27,160 Speaker 1: go in another direction so quickly that you couldn't react 947 00:47:27,200 --> 00:47:30,680 Speaker 1: to that. And uh and second and also you know 948 00:47:30,760 --> 00:47:33,359 Speaker 1: he was a powerful runner too. He could take people one. 949 00:47:34,800 --> 00:47:37,919 Speaker 1: So I was just blessed to be able to watch 950 00:47:38,120 --> 00:47:41,160 Speaker 1: probably one of the best running backs in the history 951 00:47:41,200 --> 00:47:45,600 Speaker 1: of the game. Awesome stuff. I mean, it's crazy for 952 00:47:45,680 --> 00:47:49,319 Speaker 1: us to have Dick Buckus and Bartot show bart we're 953 00:47:49,360 --> 00:47:51,640 Speaker 1: here in New York, Giants fans look to you and say, 954 00:47:51,719 --> 00:47:54,920 Speaker 1: practicing attorney, three times Super Bowl champion, Like the core 955 00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:57,560 Speaker 1: of that offensive line.

Tell us about your childhood 957 00:48:01,080 --> 00:48:04,279 Speaker 1: playing football, And if you ever thought that someday could 958 00:48:04,320 --> 00:48:07,320 Speaker 1: be hoisting a Lombardi Trophy in the center of the 959 00:48:07,440 --> 00:48:09,919 Speaker 1: field and really with Parcels and Sims and all those 960 00:48:09,960 --> 00:48:13,360 Speaker 1: guys celebrating it for the New York Giants. No, no, 961 00:48:13,680 --> 00:48:15,360 Speaker 1: I mean I grew up in a little town in 962 00:48:15,440 --> 00:48:18,759 Speaker 1: southwest Georgia, Albany, Georgia. I had no idea. I mean, 963 00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:21,640 Speaker 1: I loved I love football.

And uh, Brad played in the NFL for 966 00:48:27,920 --> 00:48:30,640 Speaker 1: about seven years, and then we also we had a 967 00:48:30,680 --> 00:48:32,879 Speaker 1: chance to play together in the USFL when that when 968 00:48:32,880 --> 00:48:35,840 Speaker 1: I first came out, and so I wasn't even drafted 969 00:48:35,840 --> 00:48:38,960 Speaker 1: in the nfls.
