Speaker 1: What's up, party people? Straight Fire with McIntyre. Yes, it's Wednesday,
Speaker 1: February third, super Bowl in chin Closure. It feels like
Speaker 1: it's taken forever to get here. We uh, we got,
Speaker 1: we got until Sunday. We will get another super Bowl
Speaker 1: best bet at the end of this podcast, asked if
Speaker 1: you missed yesterday's pod. It's one I've already fired on
Speaker 1: today's bet that I'm giving out. I've already fired on
Speaker 1: that one. This one's a bit of a long shot,
Speaker 1: but it's a fun one. Guys are gonna love this
Speaker 1: super Bowl prop bet. Um, you know, I wanted to
Speaker 1: start the podcast today with kind of a bit of
Speaker 1: a hot take that I don't know if it's gonna
Speaker 1: go over well, But I'm texting with Rob g you know,
Speaker 1: and he's got these ideas and he says stuff, and um,
Speaker 1: I said, listen, I'm just gonna go here, and I'm
Speaker 1: gonna put it out there because I firmly believe it.
Speaker 1: I spent probably on Tuesday a good ninety minutes breaking
Speaker 1: this down, and it has to do with Pat Mahomes
Speaker 1: and all time quarterbacks. And we're going to get to
Speaker 1: that shortly, but you're gonna have to wait for ninety
Speaker 1: seconds because I've got to talk about this story that
Speaker 1: appeared in the Las Vegas Journal Review late on Tuesday.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw it, the chatter that
Speaker 1: Derek Carr could be shocked by the Raiders. They in
Speaker 1: turn flip him for two first round picks, and then
Speaker 1: they package that with their own first round and their
Speaker 1: next first round pick, and they say, hey, Houston, here's
Speaker 1: four first round picks. Give us to Shawn Watson. And
Speaker 1: I read this, and you know that mind blowing emoji
Speaker 1: where the head is exploding, I'm like, whoa hold on what?
Speaker 1: Step at a time, Derek Carr is suddenly worth two
Speaker 1: first round picks on what planet? Like? Derek Carr's a
Speaker 1: good quarterback. He was excellent last year, no doubt about it.
Speaker 1: He was phenomenal. It's got one of the best tight
Speaker 1: ends in the league. Very good running black back and
Speaker 1: elite offensive line. Um, you know Henry Ruggs emerging. Uh.
Speaker 1: I like the Raiders and I like Derek Carr, but
Speaker 1: two first round picks. And so what's interesting is then
Speaker 1: Calherd calls me after I tweet about this on Tuesday
Speaker 1: and he's like, you know, I think there's something to this,
Speaker 1: Derek Carr, Um, you trade and getting Watson to the
Speaker 1: Vegas And I'm like, well, here's what I don't get.
Speaker 1: What team is giving up two first round picks for Car?
Speaker 1: And then I'm gonna ask you this. If you are
Speaker 1: Vegas and you somehow get two first round picks for
Speaker 1: Car and you go to Houston and say, here's four
Speaker 1: first give me Watson, I need to say time out.
Speaker 1: Let me look at those first round picks because if
Speaker 1: they ain't in the top ten, what are we doing here?
Speaker 1: Because I'm telling you guys right now, you can go
Speaker 1: look at the history if you go ahead and package
Speaker 1: let's say twelve, seventeen, twenty one, and seven. I'm just
Speaker 1: throwing out four numbers that are not in the top
Speaker 1: ten because I don't know anybody in the top ten
Speaker 1: who's giving that up for Derek Carr. Sorry, if I'm
Speaker 1: being told Sam Donald is maybe worth a two, and yes,
Speaker 1: Cars better than Donald, it's quite a leap to say
Speaker 1: Derek Cars wars two two first round picks. It's quite elae.
Speaker 1: Derek Carr is not in the same class as Matt Stafford. No,
Speaker 1: and remember the Golf Stafford deal was unique because of
Speaker 1: the golf contract. That's why there were so many first
Speaker 1: round picks involved. But Derek Carr is not worth two first.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. And you know, going to Houston with twelve, seventeen, one,
Speaker 1: and twenty seven or whatever, I don't know that you're
Speaker 1: gonna get a slam dunk quarterback at any of those positions.
Speaker 1: This is why the Jets and the Dolphins are in
Speaker 1: the driver's seat. The Jets at two, you say, here
Speaker 1: you go, you're not getting Trevor Lawrence, but you've got
Speaker 1: your pick of the Litterally, you like Justin Fields, you
Speaker 1: like Zack Wilson. Now you don't like any of those guys.
Speaker 1: Then you get the best defensive player on the board,
Speaker 1: or you get the best left tackle to build around.
Speaker 1: Although I know they have Lara b. Tunsil Um. You
Speaker 1: don't want to draft a right Tack or then you
Speaker 1: trade two to somebody who wants who really Covets Fields
Speaker 1: or Zack Wilson or out of that nobody wants Mac
Speaker 1: Jones ATWO. But I'm saying if Houston is so far
Speaker 1: away they have no defensive players, they then can have
Speaker 1: room to negotiate with the number two pick. But you
Speaker 1: don't have a lot if you've got four first round
Speaker 1: picks in the next two years that aren't in the
Speaker 1: top ten, none of them are. It just there's a lot.
Speaker 1: I'm not buying that. I'm not buying Derek Carr's first
Speaker 1: worth two first round picks, and um, I personally don't
Speaker 1: think Houston bites. Listen, we will have a guest on
Speaker 1: the podcast tomorrow who is going to help us get
Speaker 1: to the bottom of this. That's your teeth all right,

Speaker 1: and I batting around some ideas. I said, all right, Rob,
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the ten best quarterbacks of the modern era. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm sorry, I'm not going back to bart Star. Okay,
Speaker 1: Johnny Uniteds phenomenal career, amazing player. I'm not I'm not
Speaker 1: going back to the nineteen fifties. Okay, I'm just not
Speaker 1: doing that. Johnny United is awesome quarterback, like nineteen sixty four.
Speaker 1: Are we going there? Really? Otto Graham? Is that what
Speaker 1: you want to hear? Otto grahams one of the best
Speaker 1: quarterbacks in the NFL history, like in his prime, in
Speaker 1: his time, he was amazing. But uh, yeah, I'm not
Speaker 1: putting those guys in the modern era. I mean, United
Speaker 1: kind of skirts it because he he won in sixty
Speaker 1: four and sixty seven. Um, it really depends where you
Speaker 1: want to make the cut off for the modern era. UM.
Speaker 1: A lot of people like to say nineteen seventy, after
Speaker 1: the AFL and NFL merged. Uh. Some people like to
Speaker 1: say when the Super Bowl era started in sixty six,
Speaker 1: in which case United is one and sixty seven. But
Speaker 1: for the purposes of this discussion, I'm calling the modern
Speaker 1: era after the league's merged in Okay. My argument is,
Speaker 1: if Patrick Mahomes wins the Super Bowl on Sunday, Patrick
Speaker 1: Mahomes in three seasons as a starter at the age
Speaker 1: of will have two Super Bowl rings, an m v
Speaker 1: P Award, and perhaps two Super Bowl MVP Awards. And
Speaker 1: I said to Rob G, I said, if Pat Mahomes
Speaker 1: has done that much after three seasons, he is already
Speaker 1: a top ten quarterback in the NFL. And Rob G
Speaker 1: gives me that, you know, waiting to reply like dot
Speaker 1: dot dot, and he's waiting. He's waiting, and he's like,
Speaker 1: I like it. And folks, this is not that difficult.
Speaker 1: I made the list. There's the top ten quarterbacks in
Speaker 1: the modern era of the NFL. And seriously, with a
Speaker 1: victory in the Super Bowl, Patrick Mahomes will crack the
Speaker 1: top ten. Now the guy he's gonna boot out. You're
Speaker 1: not gonna want to hear. But I'm gonna go through
Speaker 1: the top ten. And this is not that difficult. This
Speaker 1: is pretty easy. Okay, let's begin. Number one Tom Brady.
Speaker 1: Nothing needs to be said. He is the greatest quarterback
Speaker 1: in NFL history, bar none. Next number two, Joe Montana.
Speaker 1: I don't think I'm gonna get any pushback, you know,
Speaker 1: four and oh. In the Super Bowls three Super Bowl
Speaker 1: m v p s, the guy went back to back
Speaker 1: regular season NFL MVP awards. Montana was the goat until
Speaker 1: Brady passed him. This is where it gets interesting. Okay,
Speaker 1: number three, A few guys can make the case. I'm
Speaker 1: going with Peyton Manning. I know he only has two
Speaker 1: Super Bowl rings. The guy was unbelievable. Okay, you can't
Speaker 1: tell the story of the NFL modern era without Peyton
Speaker 1: Manning very high up in the story. It was basically
Speaker 1: Manning and Brady dominating the NFL for I don't know,
Speaker 1: fifteen ish years. Peyton Manning four m v P Awards.
Speaker 1: I know the second Super Bowl with Denver whatever. He
Speaker 1: is a fossil in the defense carried him and he
Speaker 1: was terrible. But a crazy stat I found researching this.
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning is one of two quarterbacks in NFL history
Speaker 1: with two hundred postseason and regular season wins combined. And
Speaker 1: I know, quarterback ways, Jason, what a dumb stat. We're
Speaker 1: gonna get to quarterback wins. I don't like it as
Speaker 1: a stat. It does kind of enter the discussion a
Speaker 1: little bit when you look big picture and can get
Speaker 1: a larger than sample size than Lamar Jackson hasn't one
Speaker 1: but one playoff game. He's not any good. Like that's
Speaker 1: a tiny sample size. Okay. Peyton Manning in his career
Speaker 1: in the postseason fourteen and thirteen great quarterback. He did
Speaker 1: lose three early in his career when this when they
Speaker 1: were not very good. But I do believe it matters.
Speaker 1: And this goes back to Matt Stafford when we talked
Speaker 1: about it, like Stafford's owen three in the playoffs always
Speaker 1: states you can't want a big game. Okay, let's dive
Speaker 1: a little bit deeper. Okay, Matt Stafford owen three in
Speaker 1: the playoffs. Okay, he was an underdog of six and
Speaker 1: a half or more in all three games, and he
Speaker 1: was on the road in all three games. So let's
Speaker 1: not act like he should have won those games. Okay.
Speaker 1: I know you've ultimately got to pull an upset or two,
Speaker 1: you know, if you want to be great, obviously that matters.
Speaker 1: But Peyton Manning fourteen and thirteen career postseason record, I
Speaker 1: can't put him ahead of Joe Montana. I'm sorry. So
Speaker 1: Tom Brady won Joe Montana to Peyton Manning three. Number four. Again,
Speaker 1: this can be a spirited debate for my scoring purposes.
Speaker 1: It's John Elway, um number four quarterback of all time.
Speaker 1: You guys know that UM old school. I think it
Speaker 1: was in the nineteen eighties, those strongman competitions. They were
Speaker 1: on ESPN where you would have this hulking refrigerator size
Speaker 1: man tie a rope around his waist and he would
Speaker 1: try to pull like an eighteen wheeler and it would
Speaker 1: be like, who can tug an eighteen wheeler across the
Speaker 1: finish line? To me, John Elway did that with the
Speaker 1: Denver Broncos. He basically put the entire or a franchise
Speaker 1: on his back and dragged it to five Super Bowls. Okay,
Speaker 1: I know, he got just absolutely thrashed the first few
Speaker 1: times he was in the Super Bowl. Started owing three
Speaker 1: a couple of really ugly losses in there, but he
Speaker 1: didn't have a good team. But John Away, Holy cow,
Speaker 1: this guy was phenomenal. I mean, for me, I have
Speaker 1: him as the fourth best quarterback in modern NFL history.
Speaker 1: I don't know how much pushback there's gonna be. I'm
Speaker 1: actually kind of curious, um if people hate that, because
Speaker 1: you know, the next two guys have a strong case,
Speaker 1: and you know, John Elway only won one m v
Speaker 1: P Award in UM, but this is a guy who
Speaker 1: was essentially he was right there with Joe Montana as
Speaker 1: the best quarterback in the eighties. I know there's another guy.
Speaker 1: We're gonna get to him. Um, but I have John
Speaker 1: Elway as number four. He did win two Super Bowls
Speaker 1: at the end of his career. And yes, I can
Speaker 1: hear you saying, yeah, he didn't win until he got
Speaker 1: to Roll Davis. I'm aware of that. I've said that myself.
Speaker 1: John Elway. Fourth best quarterback modern NFL history. Number five
Speaker 1: Brett Farve and um, you know, three m v P
Speaker 1: Awards in a row. I mean, Brett Farve in the
Speaker 1: nineties was off the charts and he I believe set
Speaker 1: the record for starting three and one straight games just
Speaker 1: a marathon. Man. I'm impressed. Now you're you're not that
Speaker 1: impressed when you hear he only won one ring given
Speaker 1: all those seasons and there were some playoff let down
Speaker 1: thirteen and eleven in the playoffs. Um, but you also
Speaker 1: have to factor in Brett Farve also played in the
Speaker 1: Peyton Brady era, and you know it's tough to win
Speaker 1: when you're up against dynasties like that. Brett Farve also,
Speaker 1: by the way, was in the league when the Dallas
Speaker 1: Cowboys dynasty happened, so kind of some unlucky stuff there.
Speaker 1: But you can't take that away, Brett Farve. How many
Speaker 1: guys have played quarterback in the NFL in the modern era.
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna toss out a number. Five, five started
Speaker 1: twenty more games. I don't. I'm just tossing out a
Speaker 1: number to say, Brett Farve is the fifth is not
Speaker 1: a slight in any way, shape or form. So to
Speaker 1: recap Brady one, Montana to Payton three, l Way four,
Speaker 1: Far five, Steve Young number six. This one probably will
Speaker 1: make some people upset because he was only the starter
Speaker 1: for seven years. Given he sat behind Montana in seven
Speaker 1: years as a starter, the dude won three Super Bowls.
Speaker 1: And yes he was handed a dynasty um from Montana
Speaker 1: and Steve Young want two m v p s. He's
Speaker 1: at Jerry Rice and such a loaded team. I get
Speaker 1: all that, but you still gotta deliver. You know, you've
Speaker 1: gotta win the games. And Steve Young was a great quarterback,
Speaker 1: a running quarterback ahead of his time. By the way,
Speaker 1: you will see none of the other guys. I mean,
Speaker 1: l Way was a scrambler, but Steve Young was a runner. Um.
Speaker 1: You'll know far Of again another scrambler. Young really a
Speaker 1: running quarterback. I mean that run against the Vikings is
Speaker 1: still I can still remember sitting on my couch, my
Speaker 1: jaw dropping as a young guy like who Steve Young,
Speaker 1: Oh my god, this guy's ridiculous. Steve Young sixth greatest
Speaker 1: quarterback in the NFL modern era, number seven. I have
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers here. He's got three m VP Awards, guys,
Speaker 1: and I'm counting this year's. By the way, um, he
Speaker 1: has only one ring. He is only eleven nine, eleven
Speaker 1: and nine in the playoffs. There is sort of a
Speaker 1: John Elway esque field to Aaron Rodgers. And I know
Speaker 1: I have a big time Packers buddy who used to
Speaker 1: work for me at the Big Lead, and um, I'm
Speaker 1: curious as to if he thinks Aaron Rodgers just a
Speaker 1: little bit overrated, because you could argue Rogers is maybe
Speaker 1: top three most talented. This guy is just off the
Speaker 1: charts good. It is a little unfortunate that he has
Speaker 1: come up empty in the playoffs. I think he's lost
Speaker 1: three NSC championship games. I remember Seattle, I obviously remember
Speaker 1: the last two back to back. Um, and you know,
Speaker 1: what can you do? It's not like Aaron Rodgers was
Speaker 1: the guy who dropped the on side kick against Seattle.
Speaker 1: You know, um, so I have hit him as the
Speaker 1: seventh best quarterback of the NFL modern era and number
Speaker 1: eight Drew Brees. I was stunned by this stat. Drew
Speaker 1: Brees has never won an NFL MVP. Work cannot even
Speaker 1: be true. How does Drew Brees never won an m
Speaker 1: v P. Drew Brees great quarterback? Come on, um, he
Speaker 1: did win a Super Bowl ring and he's one of
Speaker 1: the most accurate pastors obviously in NFL history. Interesting career
Speaker 1: playoff record nine and nine. Yes, I know who you
Speaker 1: guys are thinking of when I bring up playoff records
Speaker 1: Mark Sanchez four and two. Obviously, so Drew Brees, number eight,
Speaker 1: number nine. I had Terry Bradshaw. This is the only
Speaker 1: guy going back to the seventies that I included on
Speaker 1: the list. Listen, guys, you win four Super bowls. Uh,
Speaker 1: you went two Super Bowl m vps. You're a pretty
Speaker 1: damn good quarterback. And Terry Bradshaw was part of that
Speaker 1: dynasty in Pittsburgh in the seventies. No, I'm not saying
Speaker 1: this because I worked with him. Have never met Terry Bradshaw.
Speaker 1: I don't think on the lot um, I don't want
Speaker 1: to give away anything. I hope I don't get in trouble,
Speaker 1: but there may be a Fox Sports Digital Super Bowl
Speaker 1: watch party with Terry Bradshaw and Jason McIntyre in some
Speaker 1: way shape or for him coming up. We'll see, we'll
Speaker 1: see Um obviously not just us, So Terry Bradshaw, number
Speaker 1: nine and number ten, the guy everybody's been waiting for.
Speaker 1: Dan Marino never won a Super Bowl. The only guy
Speaker 1: in the top ten to never win a Super Bowl.
Speaker 1: Put up monster numbers eight and ten in the playoffs,
Speaker 1: only one super Bowl trip. And my big build up
Speaker 1: to this is, Guys, if Patrick Mahomes beats Tom Brady
Speaker 1: and went to Super Bowl, you've got to put Pat
Speaker 1: Mahomes in the top ten and you have to remove
Speaker 1: Dan Marino. And Dan Marino was a phenomenal quarterback. He
Speaker 1: had good receivers, he had a really good coach. Um
Speaker 1: one of the defenses left a little something to be desired. Um,
Speaker 1: you could argue about the lack of running game, but
Speaker 1: when you start getting that granular, it's almost like you're
Speaker 1: trying to make excuses. And I'm not for Dan Marino.
Speaker 1: He was a great, great quarterback, unlucky and then I
Speaker 1: think the only ring he won was an eighth fenter
Speaker 1: a pet detective. By the way, great movie showed it
Speaker 1: to the kids. Let's just say they didn't totally understand
Speaker 1: the Finkle design horn thing. Um they're young. Um, but
Speaker 1: I do believe Patrick Mahomes will pass Dan Marino and
Speaker 1: enter the top ten NFL quarterbacks of all time if
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes wins a second Super Bowl at And I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna go Tony Romo and um say Mahomes can
Speaker 1: never catch Brady if he loses this. Um, I just
Speaker 1: want to remind you, guys, Patrick Mahomes is twenty five.
Speaker 1: He's doing stuff that nobody could have imagined from a
Speaker 1: guy who was picked at the tenth position in the draft.
Speaker 1: And I don't want to hear Willie's Andy Reid. Um,
Speaker 1: this is gonna be painful to some Eagles fans. But
Speaker 1: what had Andy Reid won before Pat Mahomes. Andy bere
Speaker 1: was a great coach into a bunch of nfsy title games,
Speaker 1: went to a Super Bowl, the one where Donovan and
Speaker 1: Nabb vomited all over the field. Um. Andy, he was
Speaker 1: a very very good coach who could not get over
Speaker 1: the hump. Pat Holmes put him over the hup, So
Speaker 1: I don't want to hear this. Pat Mahomes has a
Speaker 1: stack team, guys. I went on the walk, Remember, I
Speaker 1: got to walk a hike with our family and another
Speaker 1: one we wore masks. Just putting that out there, and
Speaker 1: my son was like with the other guy who's in
Speaker 1: fourth grade, they were like, wait, how did the Chiefs
Speaker 1: get Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelsey. I was like, you
Speaker 1: guys didn't know this. Tyreek Hell was like a fifth
Speaker 1: round draft pick and Kelsey was like a third round pick.
Speaker 1: And they were like, oh, so it's not like Patrick
Speaker 1: Mahomes came to this ridiculously stacked team that's the greatest
Speaker 1: team in NFL history. This ain't Steve Young taking over
Speaker 1: from Montana. No disrespect to Alex Smith, who did go
Speaker 1: to the playoffs the year before. Patrick Mahomes took over
Speaker 1: as a starter, But Mahomes is what makes this team go. Okay,
Speaker 1: They're not loaded with incredible defensive Hall of famers. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Chris Jones is awesome and Honey Badger is really really good,
Speaker 1: and Steve Spagnolo is a phenomenal defensive coach. But this
Speaker 1: idea that Mahomes is like in the perfect position. I mean,
Speaker 1: everybody has to be in a great position, don't they.
Speaker 1: I mean you could have said the same one Dan
Speaker 1: Marino went to Don Shula, right, I mean, hello, that's perfect.
Speaker 1: I mean, folks, I just named the top ten quarterbacks
Speaker 1: in NFL modern history. The Packers for the last like
Speaker 1: twenty five years are represented on that list. I mean, listen,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of happenstance that's happened, but this idea that, oh, well,
Speaker 1: Holmes is on a sack team, Like I just I'll
Speaker 1: just ask you, guys, I don't maybe I missed it,
Speaker 1: but what had the Chiefs one before Patrick ma Holmes
Speaker 1: got there? I don't know. So for my money, Mahomes
Speaker 1: wins this. He cracked the top ten, and I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna lie, guys, like, there's a chance by the age
Speaker 1: of thirty, he hadds another one another one after. I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't know what's stopping the Chiefs at this point
Speaker 1: short of off field issues two major stars obviously injuries. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, maybe the salary cap slows them down. They
Speaker 1: just paid Pat Malomes five million. But this guy, Mahomes, Guys,
Speaker 1: we we do. I don't know that I've ever seen
Speaker 1: anything like you know, a lot of these. Get Peyton Manning,
Speaker 1: you knew greatness was coming. Tom Brady, we did not
Speaker 1: know that was coming. Nobody could have predicted that. Anybody
Speaker 1: who tells you that's lying. Um. Anybody who predicted far
Speaker 1: also lying. Remember he was drafted second round by the
Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons. Okay, nobody thought Aaron Rodgers would be this good,
Speaker 1: falling to twenty in the draft. Elway was they can't
Speaker 1: miss prospect. We get that Joe Montana given back to

Speaker 1: All right, it's time for the best bet. Yesterday we
Speaker 1: gave out one Super Bowl prop and my next one.
Speaker 1: You guys are gonna love this one. This is a
Speaker 1: fun super Bowl prop This is pizza money. This is
Speaker 1: not play. This is a four fun You will enjoy
Speaker 1: the game. Now, I'm not into the what color is
Speaker 1: the gatorade? Bath on? Andy Reid or Bruce Arians. I'm
Speaker 1: not in two heads or tails. That's just silly nonsense. Okay,
Speaker 1: this is a fun bet. Will any field goal or
Speaker 1: extra point attempt hit the uprights or the crossbar? Now
Speaker 1: I did see a plus four for Yes, I have
Speaker 1: bet this, UM, And I'll tell you why. I think
Speaker 1: this brings joy to every single kick and everyone in
Speaker 1: the room, whoever you're wherever you're watching outdoors hopefully, Um,
Speaker 1: everybody is going to get pumped for every kick. Usually
Speaker 1: you know it's oh that's got a touchdown, Great, let
Speaker 1: me go the bathroom. No not. When you make this bet,
Speaker 1: you will be watching and rooting for the doink you're
Speaker 1: gonna And now I have looked at the wind a
Speaker 1: little bit right now they're calling for winds maybe, but
Speaker 1: it's still a little early in the week to think
Speaker 1: about that, UM, And there's really no research you can
Speaker 1: do on uh, you know, the kickers and hitting the
Speaker 1: uprights to the crossbar like it is a little bit long.
Speaker 1: The lucky side Um, the rooting for a doink and
Speaker 1: the noise that it makes when it hits off the
Speaker 1: upright is cool. You guys have to admit that. Um.
Speaker 1: I think back to Justin Tucker, one of the greatest
Speaker 1: kickers in NFL history, arguably number one, hits the upright
Speaker 1: twice in that game against the Bills twice, Like, I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, that was cool. I love hearing the doint
Speaker 1: the thud. Now. I did not like hearing the doink
Speaker 1: slash thud when the Chicago Bears kicker lost it to
Speaker 1: the Eagles a few years ago. I had Unfortunately, I
Speaker 1: was heavily invested in the Bears on that one. That
Speaker 1: really really hurt. Um. But in the Super Bowl, rooting
Speaker 1: for a doing come on, that's awesome. That's fun. So
Speaker 1: I will advocate put some pizza money on. I'm not saying,
Speaker 1: you know, take all your game stop winnings and rolling
Speaker 1: into will any field goal extra point hit the uprights
Speaker 1: a cross bar? But yes, at plus four, that's a
Speaker 1: fun bet. And the way I look at it, the
Speaker 1: over under of fifty six and a half is calling
Speaker 1: for anywhere from six to seven touchdowns, maybe eight, couple
Speaker 1: of field goals anywhere in that range. So you're looking
Speaker 1: at possibly eight kicks to hit the upright or cross bar,
Speaker 1: and to me, that's just like fun. It just adds
Speaker 1: a level of excitement to every kick in the game.
Speaker 1: And guys, I hope you piggybacked me on that and
Speaker 1: we win. That's it for to day's show. Don't come
Speaker 1: at me hard, Dan Marino fans. I know you guys
Speaker 1: are gonna be angry, but I'm telling you Pat Mahomes
Speaker 1: will crack the top ten with a Super Bowl victory Sunday.
