00:00:32,348 --> 00:00:34,028
Speaker 3: I know you don't get the post delivered, but I

7
00:00:34,068 --> 00:00:35,308
Speaker 3: have to imagine there's a lot of.

8
00:00:35,308 --> 00:00:35,908
Speaker 2: Hype in the air.

9
00:00:36,028 --> 00:00:40,028
Speaker 3: Sweet sixteen begins today. Saint John's once again hanging around

10
00:00:40,028 --> 00:00:43,188
Speaker 3: the tournament and if they win and Yukon wins, I

11
00:00:43,228 --> 00:00:47,788
Speaker 3: think it was a Danny Bobby Hurley Hurley family like,

12
00:00:47,868 --> 00:00:50,428
Speaker 3: we want a Big East showdown in the next round

13
00:00:50,428 --> 00:00:53,188
Speaker 3: in DC. Your thoughts on college basketball kicking back up again.

14
00:00:53,348 --> 00:00:53,748
Speaker 4: I love it.

15
00:00:53,788 --> 00:00:55,988
Speaker 5: Anytime you can throw back to the old Big East

16
00:00:56,628 --> 00:00:58,988
Speaker 5: and some of those teams and some of those rivalries

17
00:00:59,028 --> 00:01:00,868
Speaker 5: back then, I am down for it. You got the

18
00:01:00,868 --> 00:01:04,628

19
00:01:04,628 --> 00:01:07,588
Speaker 5: is super excited. We've got the NFL annual meeting next week.

20
00:01:07,628 --> 00:01:08,908
Speaker 5: There's gona be news out of there, and we got

21
00:01:08,908 --> 00:01:10,588
Speaker 5: the draft right. But this is a great time of

22
00:01:10,628 --> 00:01:13,468
Speaker 5: year where all the sports are really coming together at

23
00:01:13,468 --> 00:01:15,908
Speaker 5: a time where it's news driven in the NFL playoff

24
00:01:15,948 --> 00:01:17,108
Speaker 5: driven all this kind of stuff.

25
00:01:17,108 --> 00:01:20,308
Speaker 3: Barry excited speaking of teams that have good, heated rivalries

26
00:01:20,308 --> 00:01:23,508
Speaker 3: that have historical references to Chicago Bears. Let's start with

27
00:01:23,548 --> 00:01:26,268
Speaker 3: them here, a Bear, maybe Dove Bears. The last time

28
00:01:26,268 --> 00:01:28,388
Speaker 3: we saw the Bears was in a home loss of

29
00:01:28,388 --> 00:01:30,948
Speaker 3: the divisional round to Sean McVay and the Rams. And

30
00:01:30,988 --> 00:01:33,268
Speaker 3: while it was a tough outcome for Ben Johnson and

31
00:01:33,348 --> 00:01:36,388
Speaker 3: company after his first season, the game did produce one

32
00:01:36,388 --> 00:01:38,628
Speaker 3: of the greatest moments of the postseason.

33
00:01:39,948 --> 00:01:44,668
Speaker 4: There were forty four william sprinting for.

34
00:01:44,788 --> 00:01:57,508
Speaker 6: Space in all kinds of trouble playoff for seasons, touchdown delivable.

35
00:01:59,988 --> 00:02:01,628
Speaker 2: I mean, we could watch it ten times over.

36
00:02:01,868 --> 00:02:07,148
Speaker 3: Seth just basking it, his eyes looking away, smiling.

37
00:02:07,348 --> 00:02:10,268
Speaker 2: Oh, it's so nice. Okay, keep those.

38
00:02:10,148 --> 00:02:13,748
Speaker 3: Fond memories as you hug yourself and the iceman exactly,

39
00:02:14,148 --> 00:02:16,108
Speaker 3: all right, Caleb Williams. That becomes our topic that we're

40
00:02:16,108 --> 00:02:19,428
Speaker 3: starting with here on GMFB. He's done with the second season,

41
00:02:19,468 --> 00:02:21,028
Speaker 3: but that was his first with Ben Johnson.

42
00:02:21,268 --> 00:02:23,708
Speaker 2: How do we move forward.

43
00:02:23,388 --> 00:02:26,948
Speaker 3: Together into year two of this experience in Chicago and

44
00:02:26,988 --> 00:02:29,348
Speaker 3: what do you expect from this pair and this organization?

45
00:02:29,428 --> 00:02:31,468
Speaker 6: Isaac I really thought we were just gonna let Seth

46
00:02:31,508 --> 00:02:32,988
Speaker 6: take this whole segment to make him.

47
00:02:35,228 --> 00:02:35,828
Speaker 2: We like to make him.

48
00:02:35,828 --> 00:02:38,268
Speaker 7: Wait, oh, he's still I mean the celebration, it's the

49
00:02:38,268 --> 00:02:40,988
Speaker 7: whole thing. But okay, let's talk about it, Seth.

50
00:02:41,148 --> 00:02:42,028
Speaker 6: I'll leave you some time.

51
00:02:42,428 --> 00:02:44,868
Speaker 7: I'm super excited about this duo this year, and I

52
00:02:44,908 --> 00:02:46,508
Speaker 7: think everybody in the NFL was.

53
00:02:46,588 --> 00:02:48,748
Speaker 6: I think is. I think the jump.

54
00:02:48,668 --> 00:02:51,348
Speaker 7: From first year to second year for Caleb Williams just

55
00:02:51,548 --> 00:02:54,188
Speaker 7: made everybody lean in a little bit. They leaned into

56
00:02:54,228 --> 00:02:56,628
Speaker 7: Ben Johnson, they leaned into the effect that he had,

57
00:02:56,948 --> 00:02:59,188
Speaker 7: and I just really I want to talk about Ben

58
00:02:59,228 --> 00:03:02,028
Speaker 7: Johnson like Ben Johnson for me is football. And I

59
00:03:02,108 --> 00:03:04,868
Speaker 7: go all the way back to when he got the

60
00:03:04,948 --> 00:03:07,348
Speaker 7: job and he had his opening conference and he's going

61
00:03:07,388 --> 00:03:10,148
Speaker 7: down down the people in the vision and he goes, yeah,

62
00:03:10,148 --> 00:03:12,468
Speaker 7: I actually love beating Matt Lafleur twice a year.

63
00:03:12,588 --> 00:03:14,588
Speaker 3: Doesn't even know the guy, just wants to beat him all.

64
00:03:14,548 --> 00:03:16,588
Speaker 7: The time, doesn't even know him. I want to beat him.

65
00:03:16,628 --> 00:03:18,908
Speaker 7: I don't care, I'll play you anywhere. I want to

66
00:03:18,948 --> 00:03:19,628
Speaker 7: beat that guy.

67
00:03:19,668 --> 00:03:20,148
Speaker 6: And he just.

68
00:03:20,108 --> 00:03:24,268
Speaker 7: Immediately set the standard of just intensity and then you know,

69
00:03:24,348 --> 00:03:26,508
Speaker 7: he gives us these clips all year, Like I don't

70
00:03:26,508 --> 00:03:28,908
Speaker 7: even know what's going on here in his mind, Like

71
00:03:28,948 --> 00:03:30,948
Speaker 7: does he do that this at home with his family?

72
00:03:31,028 --> 00:03:33,148
Speaker 6: Like is he just sat locked in all the time.

73
00:03:33,188 --> 00:03:35,148
Speaker 6: I don't know. I love the energy from him.

74
00:03:35,348 --> 00:03:37,708
Speaker 7: And then again like the fast handshake that he had

75
00:03:37,748 --> 00:03:40,868
Speaker 7: with Lafour, like we were it was a whole segment

76
00:03:40,908 --> 00:03:43,708
Speaker 7: on here talking about it like he is football And

77
00:03:43,748 --> 00:03:46,748
Speaker 7: that's why I'm excited, because he is what everything about

78
00:03:46,748 --> 00:03:50,228
Speaker 7: football is. He embodies football, the energy, the intensity. He's

79
00:03:50,268 --> 00:03:52,788
Speaker 7: a young, heir, enagy guy, and he just he's kind.

80
00:03:52,588 --> 00:03:55,548
Speaker 6: Of just restored the Bears. Seth. I want you to

81
00:03:55,548 --> 00:03:57,028
Speaker 6: talk about this. I'm gonna give your time.

82
00:03:57,388 --> 00:03:59,708
Speaker 8: Oh man, I mean I feel like you guys are

83
00:03:59,748 --> 00:04:03,908
Speaker 8: setting me up here. This is like a layup for me.

84
00:04:04,028 --> 00:04:06,708
Speaker 8: I mean, what's not to be excited about. If you're

85
00:04:06,748 --> 00:04:10,388
Speaker 8: a Chicago Bears fan, if you're a fan of professional football,

86
00:04:10,468 --> 00:04:13,628
Speaker 8: if you're a fan of the NFL, it's got everything right.

87
00:04:13,748 --> 00:04:17,348
Speaker 8: You already mentioned Ben Johnson, who's a maniac. I mean,

88
00:04:17,388 --> 00:04:22,108
Speaker 8: he's just a maniac. He's so obsessed with getting everything right.

89
00:04:22,708 --> 00:04:25,388
Speaker 8: I mean he would not celebrate until they won in

90
00:04:25,468 --> 00:04:28,748
Speaker 8: the locker room and then his celebrations were off the charts, right,

91
00:04:28,788 --> 00:04:32,028
Speaker 8: they were next level. He's a head coach, he's a

92
00:04:32,068 --> 00:04:34,908
Speaker 8: players coach. He gets the best out of his players.

93
00:04:34,908 --> 00:04:37,948
Speaker 8: But he's also an entertainer and he understands that aspect

94
00:04:38,108 --> 00:04:39,988
Speaker 8: that it is entertainment.

95
00:04:40,068 --> 00:04:41,228
Speaker 9: We want to be able to watch that.

96
00:04:41,348 --> 00:04:44,308
Speaker 8: We want to see these great rivalries, we want these characters.

97
00:04:44,628 --> 00:04:45,548
Speaker 9: And then let's bring it.

98
00:04:45,548 --> 00:04:47,348
Speaker 8: Back to Caleb, because that's what we talked about. What

99
00:04:47,348 --> 00:04:51,108
Speaker 8: can we expect with his development over the next year.

100
00:04:51,148 --> 00:04:52,708
Speaker 9: I mean, coming out.

101
00:04:52,548 --> 00:04:55,628
Speaker 8: Of his rookie season, which was absolute chaos in Chicago.

102
00:04:55,788 --> 00:04:59,508
Speaker 8: He had multiple head coaches, he had multiple coordinators, he

103
00:04:59,588 --> 00:05:03,548
Speaker 8: had no offensive line that it was chaos there. Going

104
00:05:03,548 --> 00:05:06,508
Speaker 8: into his second year, there were tons of questions, is

105
00:05:06,548 --> 00:05:09,028
Speaker 8: Ben Johnson the real deal? Is Caleb the real deal?

106
00:05:09,108 --> 00:05:13,308
Speaker 8: You saw flashes in his rookie season. In his sophomore season,

107
00:05:13,668 --> 00:05:18,268
Speaker 8: this kid was lights out, lights out in Sure, Mike

108
00:05:18,308 --> 00:05:20,628
Speaker 8: g you're gonna tell me all the ways that Caleb

109
00:05:20,708 --> 00:05:23,468
Speaker 8: needs to improve, and you're absolutely right. You know, he

110
00:05:23,548 --> 00:05:25,748
Speaker 8: needs to make the easy throads. He's got to make

111
00:05:26,068 --> 00:05:29,108
Speaker 8: smarter decisions sometimes. But you look at this highlight reel

112
00:05:29,148 --> 00:05:30,788
Speaker 8: and you look what he put on tape and you

113
00:05:30,828 --> 00:05:33,988
Speaker 8: look at what he did week to week. He became

114
00:05:34,388 --> 00:05:37,908
Speaker 8: the iceman. Like he wasn't born the iceman. He built

115
00:05:37,988 --> 00:05:41,148
Speaker 8: himself up to become the iceman. He was the most

116
00:05:41,188 --> 00:05:44,548
Speaker 8: clutched quarterback in the NFL this season, and it wasn't

117
00:05:44,748 --> 00:05:47,548
Speaker 8: even close. And so if you take all of that

118
00:05:47,628 --> 00:05:50,428
Speaker 8: and the fact that the kid stays healthy all the time,

119
00:05:50,628 --> 00:05:54,348
Speaker 8: like he is on the field always third year, I'm

120
00:05:54,348 --> 00:05:56,908
Speaker 8: not exaggerating when I tell you we're going to be

121
00:05:56,948 --> 00:06:02,068
Speaker 8: talking about Caleb Williams in the MVP conversation next season.

122
00:06:02,148 --> 00:06:06,148
Speaker 8: That's a guarantee, mark my words, Mike Gee, We're gonna

123
00:06:06,188 --> 00:06:09,148
Speaker 8: be talking about the iceman. Caleb Williams is a possible

124
00:06:09,548 --> 00:06:11,188
Speaker 8: MVP next season.

125
00:06:12,388 --> 00:06:15,828
Speaker 5: Seth Rollins is a tremendous athlete, an unbelievable entertainer, a

126
00:06:15,828 --> 00:06:18,388
Speaker 5: fantastic football analyst, and apparently a mind reader because he

127
00:06:18,428 --> 00:06:19,788
Speaker 5: knew where I was going with this one.

128
00:06:19,828 --> 00:06:22,468
Speaker 4: But I'm not going to be negative Nancy on this.

129
00:06:22,588 --> 00:06:25,308
Speaker 4: It's not like, well, you know you guys, they're all

130
00:06:25,628 --> 00:06:26,468
Speaker 4: excited about him.

131
00:06:27,548 --> 00:06:29,788
Speaker 5: If you told me going into the season, if I

132
00:06:29,948 --> 00:06:31,628
Speaker 5: could look into the future kind of like you just

133
00:06:31,668 --> 00:06:34,908
Speaker 5: did here and could see before the season what was

134
00:06:34,908 --> 00:06:37,468
Speaker 5: gonna happen with Kayleb Williams. I'd say that is the

135
00:06:37,548 --> 00:06:40,468
Speaker 5: upper echelon of what I thought his season was going

136
00:06:40,508 --> 00:06:43,828
Speaker 5: to be in year two. And I'm down, Like, if

137
00:06:43,868 --> 00:06:45,788
Speaker 5: I'm a Bears fan, I set up for it right

138
00:06:45,828 --> 00:06:48,868
Speaker 5: then and there in early September. So you start to

139
00:06:48,868 --> 00:06:50,948
Speaker 5: think about how much better it can be when you

140
00:06:51,268 --> 00:06:53,108
Speaker 5: go back and you look at some of the accuracy

141
00:06:53,188 --> 00:06:55,548
Speaker 5: things and some of the misfires, and I don't want

142
00:06:55,548 --> 00:06:56,428
Speaker 5: to call them easy throws.

143
00:06:56,428 --> 00:06:58,428
Speaker 4: I mean, there's no easy throws in the NFL.

144
00:06:58,868 --> 00:07:01,428
Speaker 5: But if he can start to hone that in a

145
00:07:01,508 --> 00:07:05,268
Speaker 5: little bit more and start to put the ball where

146
00:07:05,268 --> 00:07:07,908
Speaker 5: it needs to be through the first three quarters of

147
00:07:07,948 --> 00:07:11,228
Speaker 5: the games, before the heroics in the fourth quarter, which

148
00:07:11,268 --> 00:07:12,748
Speaker 5: I don't want to see go away, I still want

149
00:07:12,788 --> 00:07:13,508
Speaker 5: that to be a part of it.

150
00:07:13,548 --> 00:07:14,948
Speaker 4: I don't want it to be like, well, I should

151
00:07:14,948 --> 00:07:16,828
Speaker 4: win the game before they have to have a miracle player.

152
00:07:16,908 --> 00:07:20,268
Speaker 5: No, make the miracle plays a part of what you're doing,

153
00:07:20,268 --> 00:07:22,908
Speaker 5: a part of your reakfertoire, a part of everybody thinking

154
00:07:22,908 --> 00:07:26,868
Speaker 5: about Caleb Williams and using the word clutch relevant in

155
00:07:27,988 --> 00:07:31,108
Speaker 5: But add to that some of the finer details that

156
00:07:31,188 --> 00:07:34,108
Speaker 5: you can hone this time of year into training camp,

157
00:07:34,268 --> 00:07:37,228
Speaker 5: the fundamentals, the footwork, where the ball needs to be

158
00:07:37,548 --> 00:07:41,028
Speaker 5: if you now put that as part of the game.

159
00:07:41,068 --> 00:07:43,628
Speaker 5: In addition to what we've already seen, we're talking about

160
00:07:43,628 --> 00:07:48,348
Speaker 5: it outstanding, exceptional, another e word, elite quarterback in Caleb.

161
00:07:48,348 --> 00:07:48,548
Speaker 4: Wait.

162
00:07:48,908 --> 00:07:51,148
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's all very valid points and I'm still just

163
00:07:51,228 --> 00:07:53,828
Speaker 3: listening Seth bask in the sunlight of the fact that

164
00:07:54,188 --> 00:07:57,588
Speaker 3: was that youally first pass at making the Caleb MVP argument,

165
00:07:57,948 --> 00:08:00,228
Speaker 3: because this is something you have to settle into into

166
00:08:00,268 --> 00:08:02,988
Speaker 3: your boots now for the offseason, and slowly but surely

167
00:08:03,028 --> 00:08:05,468
Speaker 3: you're laying the groundwork for this ar come like prediction

168
00:08:05,508 --> 00:08:06,148
Speaker 3: week and I see it.

169
00:08:06,348 --> 00:08:08,508
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, I think that was my first real that

170
00:08:08,548 --> 00:08:10,348
Speaker 8: was like my I feel soft lunch.

171
00:08:10,508 --> 00:08:12,548
Speaker 9: It felt really good. It felt really good.

172
00:08:13,028 --> 00:08:13,188
Speaker 6: Right.

173
00:08:13,228 --> 00:08:14,588
Speaker 8: I wasn't sure if I was going to be able

174
00:08:14,588 --> 00:08:16,668
Speaker 8: to go on, but there was a.

175
00:08:16,588 --> 00:08:18,788
Speaker 9: Lot there, it was. There was a lot there.

176
00:08:18,828 --> 00:08:21,548
Speaker 3: The importance of winning an MVP, and frankly we saw

177
00:08:21,588 --> 00:08:23,588
Speaker 3: it last season with Matthew Stafford is you have to

178
00:08:23,588 --> 00:08:24,948
Speaker 3: be able to compete with some of the best of

179
00:08:24,988 --> 00:08:27,788
Speaker 3: the best. And the fact that Stafford emerged within the

180
00:08:27,908 --> 00:08:30,788
Speaker 3: NFC West to become what he was as an MVP.

181
00:08:30,948 --> 00:08:32,828
Speaker 3: You can make the same argument for the NFC North.

182
00:08:32,868 --> 00:08:35,948
Speaker 3: A lot of talent, a lot of great competition, and

183
00:08:35,988 --> 00:08:38,068
Speaker 3: the Bears are no different from that. Now They're going

184
00:08:38,108 --> 00:08:40,748
Speaker 3: to have a much more difficult schedule this time around.

185
00:08:40,948 --> 00:08:43,108
Speaker 3: But keep in mind that every team in this division,

186
00:08:43,108 --> 00:08:45,148
Speaker 3: in the NFC North now that I'm speaking of, was

187
00:08:45,188 --> 00:08:46,588
Speaker 3: over five hundred last season.

188
00:08:46,628 --> 00:08:47,708
Speaker 2: So having said that.

189
00:08:47,948 --> 00:08:50,748
Speaker 3: Do you consider the Bears, Isaac your favorite in the

190
00:08:50,788 --> 00:08:52,548
Speaker 3: North in the twenty twenty sixth season or do you

191
00:08:52,588 --> 00:08:53,148
Speaker 3: go elsewhere?

192
00:08:53,668 --> 00:08:56,908
Speaker 7: This is a tough question because I think everybody and

193
00:08:56,948 --> 00:08:59,028
Speaker 7: their mother and their brother and everybody wants to look

194
00:08:59,028 --> 00:09:00,788
Speaker 7: at the Bears and go, yeah, of course the Bears

195
00:09:00,788 --> 00:09:03,068
Speaker 7: are are the pick. But I think back to when

196
00:09:03,108 --> 00:09:04,908
Speaker 7: I played, and I don't know if you guys know this,

197
00:09:04,948 --> 00:09:07,828
Speaker 7: I was actually on kickoff when I played Brandon to eighty.

198
00:09:07,908 --> 00:09:10,628
Speaker 7: I don't know that coach's decision. I don't know why

199
00:09:10,628 --> 00:09:12,588
Speaker 7: I was on, but I was, And I used to

200
00:09:12,628 --> 00:09:14,788
Speaker 7: go in the huddles and I used to tell myself,

201
00:09:15,188 --> 00:09:17,428
Speaker 7: why not me? Literally I would tell myself that, like

202
00:09:17,628 --> 00:09:19,228
Speaker 7: what if it was me? What if I was the

203
00:09:19,228 --> 00:09:20,948
Speaker 7: guy making a tackle. What if I led the team

204
00:09:20,988 --> 00:09:21,988
Speaker 7: in special team tackles?

205
00:09:22,068 --> 00:09:23,548
Speaker 6: And That's how I feel about the Vikings.

206
00:09:23,548 --> 00:09:26,828
Speaker 7: And I know you're about talking about the Vikings because

207
00:09:26,948 --> 00:09:30,228
Speaker 7: I'm really looking at Kyler Murray and I'm like, what

208
00:09:30,748 --> 00:09:33,188
Speaker 7: if it does work out the best version of Kyler

209
00:09:33,268 --> 00:09:36,668
Speaker 7: Murray on that football team, with if an elite receiver

210
00:09:36,748 --> 00:09:37,948
Speaker 7: who we all know and love.

211
00:09:38,828 --> 00:09:39,268
Speaker 6: What if?

212
00:09:39,708 --> 00:09:41,748
Speaker 7: What if it does turn into something? I Also, you

213
00:09:41,828 --> 00:09:44,628
Speaker 7: have to consider that KOC has had a long history

214
00:09:44,988 --> 00:09:47,508
Speaker 7: of really developing quarterbacks. Look at the quarterbacks who have

215
00:09:47,588 --> 00:09:49,908
Speaker 7: come there, who haven't even started and then went on

216
00:09:49,948 --> 00:09:54,028
Speaker 7: an absolute tear afterwards on other teams or wherever.

217
00:09:54,388 --> 00:09:55,268
Speaker 6: There's a chance here.

218
00:09:55,308 --> 00:09:57,108
Speaker 7: So again I'm looking at this and I'm just saying

219
00:09:57,148 --> 00:09:57,428
Speaker 7: what if.

220
00:09:57,428 --> 00:09:58,268
Speaker 6: And the last thing I'll.

221
00:09:58,108 --> 00:10:00,468
Speaker 7: Say is a lot of people don't realize this. Like

222
00:10:00,708 --> 00:10:02,988
Speaker 7: when I played and I was in bad situations, I

223
00:10:03,108 --> 00:10:04,948
Speaker 7: used to get to the facility early and just sit

224
00:10:05,028 --> 00:10:06,908
Speaker 7: in my car and just be like, I need to

225
00:10:06,908 --> 00:10:08,628
Speaker 7: get my mind right to go in this facility because

226
00:10:08,628 --> 00:10:10,948
Speaker 7: I don't want to be here. This is a toxic environment,

227
00:10:11,028 --> 00:10:14,788
Speaker 7: and get me anywhere but here. Again, what if that

228
00:10:14,828 --> 00:10:16,908
Speaker 7: was the situation was Kyler last year. What if it

229
00:10:16,948 --> 00:10:18,948
Speaker 7: was just a really bad environment for him, and just

230
00:10:18,988 --> 00:10:20,828
Speaker 7: a quick environment switch is going to make all the

231
00:10:20,868 --> 00:10:21,988
Speaker 7: difference and just make him.

232
00:10:21,828 --> 00:10:23,028
Speaker 6: A more confident quarterback.

233
00:10:23,028 --> 00:10:25,108
Speaker 7: We're gonna get twenty twenty one Kyler, We're gonna get

234
00:10:25,108 --> 00:10:28,948
Speaker 7: twenty twenty two color. And again, what if Seth is

235
00:10:28,948 --> 00:10:31,428
Speaker 7: looking at me like I'm crazy? It's hard to even talk. Yeah,

236
00:10:31,828 --> 00:10:32,628
Speaker 7: the way you're looking.

237
00:10:32,468 --> 00:10:33,108
Speaker 6: At me right now?

238
00:10:33,148 --> 00:10:34,948
Speaker 3: All right, pipe down, Mike Gi You get to go

239
00:10:35,028 --> 00:10:37,388
Speaker 3: before Seth's the gatherer's thoughts about the NFC North.

240
00:10:37,748 --> 00:10:40,428
Speaker 5: Not only do I get to go, I don't have

241
00:10:40,468 --> 00:10:41,988
Speaker 5: to have Seth looking at me because I'm not.

242
00:10:41,988 --> 00:10:43,548
Speaker 4: There right, So give me dagger.

243
00:10:46,548 --> 00:10:48,428
Speaker 5: You got to take this shot away though, because I

244
00:10:48,428 --> 00:10:50,668
Speaker 5: can still feel his eyes right now. As I said

245
00:10:50,668 --> 00:10:54,508
Speaker 5: that Detroit Lyon could potentially go from worse to first

246
00:10:54,588 --> 00:10:56,788
Speaker 5: in the NFC, and like worse the first they were

247
00:10:56,868 --> 00:10:58,788
Speaker 5: nine to eight. Right, you bring up the records again

248
00:10:58,828 --> 00:11:00,948
Speaker 5: and you're like, any one of those teams last year

249
00:11:01,028 --> 00:11:03,988
Speaker 5: could have potentially won the division there. I mean, look

250
00:11:03,988 --> 00:11:06,508
Speaker 5: how close it wound up being. The Lions just felt

251
00:11:06,548 --> 00:11:09,588
Speaker 5: like everything snowball, right. They lost both of their coordinators,

252
00:11:09,588 --> 00:11:12,708
Speaker 5: they had the Frank Ragnow situation. They had injuries even

253
00:11:12,748 --> 00:11:16,028
Speaker 5: before they got the training camp. It just felt like

254
00:11:16,148 --> 00:11:19,428
Speaker 5: too much for the Lions to overcome. Don't forget what

255
00:11:19,508 --> 00:11:21,308
Speaker 5: kind of team this is. I mean, I honestly, I

256
00:11:21,388 --> 00:11:23,308
Speaker 5: look back in and go nine to eight was incredibly

257
00:11:23,308 --> 00:11:26,068
Speaker 5: impressive given everything they had to go through last year.

258
00:11:26,388 --> 00:11:29,348
Speaker 5: And I look at their schedule this year. I know

259
00:11:29,428 --> 00:11:32,748
Speaker 5: it's always a tricky exercise when you go by expected

260
00:11:32,788 --> 00:11:35,388
Speaker 5: wins right now and who the Lions are facing.

261
00:11:35,628 --> 00:11:39,028
Speaker 4: It's the easiest schedule in the division. I don't the easiest.

262
00:11:39,068 --> 00:11:41,348
Speaker 5: It's the least difficult, however way you put it that way,

263
00:11:41,388 --> 00:11:44,188
Speaker 5: because of the NFL, And it's also the least difficult

264
00:11:44,308 --> 00:11:47,948
Speaker 5: in the entire NFL right now. So I'm looking for

265
00:11:47,988 --> 00:11:50,988
Speaker 5: a huge, huge bounce back year from the Lions.

266
00:11:51,228 --> 00:11:53,348
Speaker 4: I think they're going to be much better on offense.

267
00:11:53,868 --> 00:11:55,908
Speaker 5: Dan Campbell won't have to take over play calling from

268
00:11:55,988 --> 00:11:57,668
Speaker 5: Drew Petsing in the middle of the season the way

269
00:11:57,668 --> 00:11:59,508
Speaker 5: that he had to take over this past year from

270
00:11:59,548 --> 00:12:03,228
Speaker 5: John Morton. I'm looking for a response from the Lions

271
00:12:03,388 --> 00:12:05,028
Speaker 5: to how disappointing last Stephen Morton.

272
00:12:05,148 --> 00:12:07,788
Speaker 8: You know, Mike g that's that's a respectable answer. Oh no,

273
00:12:07,948 --> 00:12:11,748
Speaker 8: that's that was that was really a respectable answer. And

274
00:12:12,188 --> 00:12:15,188
Speaker 8: I I I you know, as a Bears fan, I'm

275
00:12:15,388 --> 00:12:18,508
Speaker 8: slightly biased on this bad boy, but look at the division.

276
00:12:18,628 --> 00:12:20,788
Speaker 9: I look at the Packers, uh, and I.

277
00:12:20,748 --> 00:12:22,748
Speaker 8: Look at the Lions and I go, okay, these are

278
00:12:23,188 --> 00:12:27,228
Speaker 8: these are competitive teams here, all right? And then Isaac has.

279
00:12:27,068 --> 00:12:30,508
Speaker 9: The nerve, the nerve to come out here.

280
00:12:30,748 --> 00:12:34,108
Speaker 8: And basically because the question was who is the favorite

281
00:12:34,148 --> 00:12:35,268
Speaker 8: to win this division?

282
00:12:35,628 --> 00:12:38,948
Speaker 9: If this man he says, what is what if he says.

283
00:12:38,828 --> 00:12:39,628
Speaker 6: Why not Kyler?

284
00:12:39,908 --> 00:12:41,228
Speaker 9: Why not Kyler?

285
00:12:41,628 --> 00:12:44,828
Speaker 8: Are we really expecting Kyler Murray to go full Sam

286
00:12:44,908 --> 00:12:47,668
Speaker 8: Darnold heel? And this is the situation. We're in the

287
00:12:47,788 --> 00:12:52,308
Speaker 8: Minnesota Vikings, who I mean, they sure they didn't finish

288
00:12:52,348 --> 00:12:55,748
Speaker 8: the last in the division, but my between Kyler Murray

289
00:12:55,948 --> 00:12:59,908
Speaker 8: and JJ McCarthy and they're gonna win the division over

290
00:12:59,948 --> 00:13:04,388
Speaker 8: the Lions, the Bears and the Packers, that's bonkers, bonkers,

291
00:13:04,588 --> 00:13:05,788
Speaker 8: that's bonkers.

292
00:13:06,108 --> 00:13:09,708
Speaker 9: I don't need I need to make a bet right now.

293
00:13:09,228 --> 00:13:12,788
Speaker 7: But something real quick behind would you what would you

294
00:13:12,828 --> 00:13:14,868
Speaker 7: have thought Sam Donald was going to do with the Viking?

295
00:13:14,988 --> 00:13:16,868
Speaker 7: I mean, this is it's not the first time we've

296
00:13:16,868 --> 00:13:19,948
Speaker 7: seen a quarterback come in under Kevin O'Connell and we're like, yeah.

297
00:13:19,748 --> 00:13:20,548
Speaker 6: They're not going to be good.

298
00:13:20,708 --> 00:13:23,228
Speaker 7: Also, JJ McCarthy didn't even play the whole season, Like

299
00:13:23,228 --> 00:13:26,108
Speaker 7: there's there's factors that affect that.

300
00:13:26,068 --> 00:13:27,988
Speaker 6: Situation and what it looked like last year.

301
00:13:28,028 --> 00:13:31,668
Speaker 8: Maybe JJ McCarthy should have played the whole season and

302
00:13:31,708 --> 00:13:33,828
Speaker 8: we would have seen what kind of team they were, right,

303
00:13:33,828 --> 00:13:37,388
Speaker 8: because that's that we have Max brozmerg ot a w

304
00:13:37,548 --> 00:13:40,268
Speaker 8: We were there on Christmas Day against the Lions. We

305
00:13:40,388 --> 00:13:43,908
Speaker 8: saw that happen. I may be in the minority. I

306
00:13:43,988 --> 00:13:47,828
Speaker 8: always thought Sam Donald had the skill set to be

307
00:13:47,988 --> 00:13:51,188
Speaker 8: the quarterback that we saw in Seattle and in Minnesota.

308
00:13:51,308 --> 00:13:54,108
Speaker 8: I always thought it was there Kyler Murray. I'm just

309
00:13:54,228 --> 00:13:57,228
Speaker 8: not quite sold on that. I'm not quite And here's

310
00:13:57,228 --> 00:14:00,148
Speaker 8: the thing about the Sam Donald situation. He came in knowing,

311
00:14:00,628 --> 00:14:03,108
Speaker 8: not knowing, but having a good feeling he was going

312
00:14:03,148 --> 00:14:05,708
Speaker 8: to be the starting quarterback for that season at the

313
00:14:05,828 --> 00:14:09,548
Speaker 8: very least this season in Minnesota, you're talking about a

314
00:14:09,628 --> 00:14:13,148
Speaker 8: quarterback competition between Kyler and JJ McCarthy.

315
00:14:13,388 --> 00:14:14,788
Speaker 9: It's not the same setup.

316
00:14:14,868 --> 00:14:17,188
Speaker 8: So I mean, maybe Kyler knows something that we don't

317
00:14:17,228 --> 00:14:19,188
Speaker 8: and he's coming into a situation where he's like, yeah,

318
00:14:19,188 --> 00:14:19,708
Speaker 8: I'm the starter.

319
00:14:19,788 --> 00:14:21,028
Speaker 6: This JJ guy, we don't even to.

320
00:14:20,988 --> 00:14:23,148
Speaker 8: Worry about him, and JJ's just out of there.

321
00:14:23,428 --> 00:14:24,828
Speaker 9: But I don't see that happening.

322
00:14:24,868 --> 00:14:26,788
Speaker 8: The other ones I can buy I can buy it

323
00:14:26,828 --> 00:14:29,508
Speaker 8: a healthy Michael Parsons. Green Bay's a good squad. They're

324
00:14:29,548 --> 00:14:31,228
Speaker 8: well coached. Not that in the Minnesot' is not.

325
00:14:31,268 --> 00:14:33,228
Speaker 9: I love Kocy. I think he's an incredible coach. And

326
00:14:33,268 --> 00:14:35,788
Speaker 9: they got Flores too. On the other side, this.

327
00:14:35,868 --> 00:14:38,468
Speaker 8: Is a well coached division Lions.

328
00:14:38,748 --> 00:14:40,908
Speaker 9: Again. They have all the talent in the world to

329
00:14:40,948 --> 00:14:44,468
Speaker 9: get the job done. But it's the Bears. Guy, Come on,

330
00:14:44,548 --> 00:14:45,428
Speaker 9: it's the Bears.

331
00:14:45,508 --> 00:14:46,548
Speaker 6: They're the bearers.

332
00:14:46,948 --> 00:14:49,228
Speaker 8: Why well, I'm looking over here at this wall over here,

333
00:14:49,228 --> 00:14:50,588
Speaker 8: and I see these signal callers.

334
00:14:50,628 --> 00:14:52,148
Speaker 9: Okay, I see these signal callers.

335
00:14:52,188 --> 00:14:54,588
Speaker 8: I see KYLEB Willias, I see Jordan Love, I see

336
00:14:54,668 --> 00:14:55,308
Speaker 8: JJ McCarthy.

337
00:14:55,348 --> 00:14:56,908
Speaker 9: You can throw Kyler Murray up there if you wanted.

338
00:14:56,948 --> 00:14:59,668
Speaker 8: I see Jared Goff and one of these dudes, one

339
00:14:59,708 --> 00:15:00,988
Speaker 8: of these four dudes has.

340
00:15:00,788 --> 00:15:04,188
Speaker 9: The clutch gene and his name is Kayleb Williams. And

341
00:15:04,228 --> 00:15:04,908
Speaker 9: the the other.

342
00:15:04,788 --> 00:15:09,868
Speaker 8: Guys don't have that Gene, whoa. That's they don't I

343
00:15:09,868 --> 00:15:12,428
Speaker 8: don't know the Bears don't win the division this year

344
00:15:12,468 --> 00:15:15,148
Speaker 8: because it's very hard division. They're gonna make the playoffs,

345
00:15:15,148 --> 00:15:18,388
Speaker 8: and I expect him to win playoff games because eighteen

346
00:15:18,508 --> 00:15:20,588
Speaker 8: is under center and he is going to make the

347
00:15:20,628 --> 00:15:23,948
Speaker 8: play when the job is needed to be done. It's

348
00:15:23,988 --> 00:15:26,148
Speaker 8: not gonna be Kyler Murray. I'll tell you that right now.

349
00:15:26,148 --> 00:15:28,748
Speaker 8: It's not gonna be Kyler Murray. No bets, no bets.

350
00:15:28,828 --> 00:15:31,348
Speaker 8: But that's you know, I'm full of predictions today, James.

351
00:15:31,508 --> 00:15:32,788
Speaker 2: I hear that. I hear that.

352
00:15:32,828 --> 00:15:34,868
Speaker 3: But it is a valid point that you make about

353
00:15:34,908 --> 00:15:38,748
Speaker 3: if you go coaching quarterback combination. The Vikings are the

354
00:15:38,748 --> 00:15:40,988
Speaker 3: only one that have a true question mark in all

355
00:15:41,068 --> 00:15:44,908
Speaker 3: those periods. So great competition across the division. And now

356
00:15:44,948 --> 00:15:47,828
Speaker 3: we fully understand if you didn't sixteen minutes ago, where

357
00:15:47,828 --> 00:15:50,828
Speaker 3: Seth Rollin stands on the Chicago Bears and Martha Frankney,

358
00:15:51,188 --> 00:15:58,188
Speaker 3: Kyler Murray. The Chiefs lost their star play caller late

359
00:15:58,228 --> 00:16:01,268
Speaker 3: last season, but it appears Patrick Mahomes is making a

360
00:16:01,348 --> 00:16:02,188
Speaker 3: strong recovery.

361
00:16:02,228 --> 00:16:03,828
Speaker 2: As if we expected anything else.

362
00:16:03,868 --> 00:16:08,308
Speaker 3: Mahomes posted this video of himself make a dropback throws

363
00:16:08,908 --> 00:16:12,188
Speaker 3: unbelievable considering it's just over three months after tearing both

364
00:16:12,228 --> 00:16:13,708
Speaker 3: with ACL and LCL.

365
00:16:14,348 --> 00:16:15,348
Speaker 2: Not only coming back.

366
00:16:15,188 --> 00:16:18,268
Speaker 3: From injury, he's also coming back from the first season

367
00:16:18,308 --> 00:16:21,148
Speaker 3: where he missed the playoffs. So there's physical and there's

368
00:16:21,148 --> 00:16:22,588
Speaker 3: an emotional component to it.

369
00:16:23,028 --> 00:16:23,388
Speaker 4: Isaac.

370
00:16:23,428 --> 00:16:25,748
Speaker 3: He'll be thirty one at the start of this next season,

371
00:16:25,868 --> 00:16:29,428
Speaker 3: so consider what happened to him last year. What changes

372
00:16:29,468 --> 00:16:31,508
Speaker 3: the Chiefs have made in the fact that they also

373
00:16:31,548 --> 00:16:33,948
Speaker 3: lost Matt Aggie to the New York Giants.

374
00:16:34,748 --> 00:16:37,228
Speaker 2: What version of Mahomes do you expect to see next season?

375
00:16:37,348 --> 00:16:39,308
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm going to make a bold prediction because Seth

376
00:16:39,388 --> 00:16:43,348
Speaker 7: is inspired me. Oh yeah, no, I'm picturing our boy

377
00:16:43,348 --> 00:16:45,308
Speaker 7: Patrick Mahomes be comeback player of the Year. I mean,

378
00:16:45,308 --> 00:16:46,868
Speaker 7: I think this is going to be a situation where

379
00:16:46,868 --> 00:16:51,348
Speaker 7: where like we have prime prime Mahome. And I think

380
00:16:51,388 --> 00:16:54,028
Speaker 7: the biggest piece of this that nobody's talking about and

381
00:16:54,028 --> 00:16:55,708
Speaker 7: should be all we talk about, is, in fact, the

382
00:16:55,708 --> 00:16:58,508
Speaker 7: b enemy's back, like Bienemy is such a big piece

383
00:16:58,548 --> 00:17:02,028
Speaker 7: of this. Offense and sideline and just culture on a

384
00:17:02,068 --> 00:17:05,668
Speaker 7: football team. As offensive coordinator is the whole energy and

385
00:17:05,748 --> 00:17:08,108
Speaker 7: Manti talked about this. If you look on the sideline

386
00:17:08,308 --> 00:17:11,148
Speaker 7: of the Chiefs. Last year, you could feel like there

387
00:17:11,188 --> 00:17:14,068
Speaker 7: was a disconnect right, like it wasn't as tight as

388
00:17:14,108 --> 00:17:16,308
Speaker 7: it had been in the past with the enemy with

389
00:17:16,428 --> 00:17:19,748
Speaker 7: guys focused. The enemy's coming back, the energy's back, and

390
00:17:19,788 --> 00:17:22,228
Speaker 7: Mahomes is going to be locked in. And you know,

391
00:17:22,308 --> 00:17:25,268
Speaker 7: I'm not like everything that happened last year with the Chiefs,

392
00:17:25,548 --> 00:17:26,548
Speaker 7: I'm not worried about it.

393
00:17:26,828 --> 00:17:28,108
Speaker 6: They didn't have two of their.

394
00:17:28,028 --> 00:17:30,748
Speaker 7: Star receivers for the first half of the season. There

395
00:17:30,828 --> 00:17:34,068
Speaker 7: was growing pains with you know, new situations. Again, we're back,

396
00:17:34,148 --> 00:17:36,348
Speaker 7: the enemies back. The last piece that could really set

397
00:17:36,388 --> 00:17:38,028
Speaker 7: this over the edge that would make me lose my

398
00:17:38,108 --> 00:17:40,468
Speaker 7: mind is if they brought back Tyreek Hill. I think

399
00:17:40,508 --> 00:17:42,708
Speaker 7: that would be I would come on this show personally,

400
00:17:42,748 --> 00:17:45,948
Speaker 7: whether I was invited or not, take a whole segment.

401
00:17:46,108 --> 00:17:50,028
Speaker 7: So you got Jim, Yeah, I actually don't have a

402
00:17:50,108 --> 00:17:54,028
Speaker 7: key card toever need to call to but whatever, All right, Mike, gee,

403
00:17:54,028 --> 00:17:55,548
Speaker 7: what do you got?

404
00:17:55,748 --> 00:17:57,028
Speaker 4: I'm going blind faith here?

405
00:17:57,068 --> 00:17:59,108
Speaker 5: Like when he tore his ACL, he went down, we

406
00:17:59,188 --> 00:18:00,868
Speaker 5: knew it was a significant injury, and then later that

407
00:18:00,988 --> 00:18:03,148
Speaker 5: night they come out with the statement the Chief do

408
00:18:03,268 --> 00:18:05,988
Speaker 5: that he had torn his ACL. I remember thinking to myself,

409
00:18:06,588 --> 00:18:09,028
Speaker 5: he's gonna be fine, and week one's gonna roll around

410
00:18:09,028 --> 00:18:11,228
Speaker 5: and Patrick Mahomes is gonna be on the field. And

411
00:18:11,268 --> 00:18:13,508
Speaker 5: we're not there with him every day. We weren't there

412
00:18:13,508 --> 00:18:15,308
Speaker 5: for the surgery, we're not there with the rehab. This

413
00:18:15,348 --> 00:18:17,908
Speaker 5: is the first real peak that we've gotten here. There

414
00:18:17,988 --> 00:18:22,028
Speaker 5: are some significant lows in a recovery like this, and

415
00:18:22,748 --> 00:18:24,828
Speaker 5: it's not just snap your finger and he's back to

416
00:18:24,908 --> 00:18:29,068
Speaker 5: health and he's ready to go. But we just know

417
00:18:29,108 --> 00:18:31,508
Speaker 5: who Patrick Mahomes is, and we know what he's about.

418
00:18:31,628 --> 00:18:34,108
Speaker 5: We know the work that he puts in. In fact, a

419
00:18:34,148 --> 00:18:36,068
Speaker 5: couple of years ago, he was featured on the Netflix

420
00:18:36,228 --> 00:18:38,748
Speaker 5: Quarterback series, and you saw the work that he puts

421
00:18:38,748 --> 00:18:41,668
Speaker 5: in every single day during the week to not only

422
00:18:41,708 --> 00:18:45,148
Speaker 5: prepare himself for games, but also to help his recovery

423
00:18:45,148 --> 00:18:47,428
Speaker 5: and the flexibility and all the things that he's doing

424
00:18:47,948 --> 00:18:50,868
Speaker 5: to put himself in the position to be successful and

425
00:18:50,908 --> 00:18:54,028
Speaker 5: to be you know physically. I remember I remember the shirt,

426
00:18:54,668 --> 00:18:56,028
Speaker 5: the picture with him without the shirt a couple of

427
00:18:56,068 --> 00:18:56,348
Speaker 5: years ago.

428
00:18:56,348 --> 00:18:57,988
Speaker 4: Everybody's are you kidding me? This is the Patrick.

429
00:18:58,388 --> 00:19:02,348
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's what peak performance looks like. Okay, Patrick Mahomes

430
00:19:02,388 --> 00:19:05,628
Speaker 5: is a fantastic athlete and does so much for his body.

431
00:19:05,868 --> 00:19:07,348
Speaker 4: So I'm going blind faith here.

432
00:19:07,668 --> 00:19:10,268
Speaker 5: He's coming back and maybe better than we've seen him

433
00:19:10,268 --> 00:19:11,228
Speaker 5: in the last couple of years.

434
00:19:11,348 --> 00:19:13,028
Speaker 4: Blind faith, Patrick, I got that.

435
00:19:13,468 --> 00:19:14,548
Speaker 9: I respect it.

436
00:19:15,108 --> 00:19:18,348
Speaker 8: The blind faith is a good argument I have. I

437
00:19:18,348 --> 00:19:21,548
Speaker 8: don't know, maybe some educated faith on this. I tore

438
00:19:21,708 --> 00:19:26,508
Speaker 8: my ACL in twenty fifteen. I was at a non

439
00:19:26,508 --> 00:19:27,948
Speaker 8: televised event in Dublin.

440
00:19:28,068 --> 00:19:31,188
Speaker 9: I was the world heavyweight champion.

441
00:19:30,828 --> 00:19:34,468
Speaker 8: At the time, had to forfeit my title and mentally

442
00:19:34,508 --> 00:19:37,308
Speaker 8: it took a huge toll on me physically as well.

443
00:19:37,468 --> 00:19:39,908
Speaker 8: It took me about six months to get back to

444
00:19:39,948 --> 00:19:41,748
Speaker 8: where I felt like I could get in the ring

445
00:19:41,748 --> 00:19:45,428
Speaker 8: and compete again. But the thing that strikes me with

446
00:19:45,508 --> 00:19:49,468
Speaker 8: this Patrick Mahone situation, something that for me was huge,

447
00:19:49,788 --> 00:19:54,748
Speaker 8: was mentally I was on another level from a motivation standpoint,

448
00:19:55,068 --> 00:19:58,388
Speaker 8: because you start to treat your rehab like your training

449
00:19:58,508 --> 00:20:00,388
Speaker 8: because that's your job. Now, your job is just to

450
00:20:00,388 --> 00:20:02,228
Speaker 8: get healthy. And so that's what I did, and I'm

451
00:20:02,268 --> 00:20:05,428
Speaker 8: sure that's what Patrick's doing with his knees, this rehab

452
00:20:05,748 --> 00:20:08,068
Speaker 8: like it's his job, because it is his job is

453
00:20:08,068 --> 00:20:10,748
Speaker 8: to get healthy. But mentally he's going to be in

454
00:20:10,748 --> 00:20:14,628
Speaker 8: a different place. There's a different level of motivation that

455
00:20:14,708 --> 00:20:17,148
Speaker 8: comes with coming back. Not only is he coming back

456
00:20:17,188 --> 00:20:20,708
Speaker 8: off of a career threatening injury and one that slows

457
00:20:20,788 --> 00:20:24,708
Speaker 8: quote unquote slows talent down, but he's coming off his

458
00:20:24,908 --> 00:20:29,308
Speaker 8: worst season statistically from a team perspective that he's ever had.

459
00:20:29,348 --> 00:20:31,428
Speaker 8: And so there's a lot of naysayer. So there's a

460
00:20:31,428 --> 00:20:35,268
Speaker 8: lot of negative energy and elite level competitors. They have

461
00:20:35,308 --> 00:20:39,668
Speaker 8: a mindset that puts them like they embrace that hate.

462
00:20:39,708 --> 00:20:42,148
Speaker 8: They embrace those haters, and that fuels them to want

463
00:20:42,188 --> 00:20:44,708
Speaker 8: to be better. And you look at Travis Kelcey in

464
00:20:44,748 --> 00:20:47,108
Speaker 8: his situation where he's kind of coming there's like a

465
00:20:47,148 --> 00:20:49,508
Speaker 8: situation here where the chief feel like their backs are

466
00:20:49,548 --> 00:20:52,228
Speaker 8: against the wall, and they just haven't. They've been in

467
00:20:52,268 --> 00:20:54,748
Speaker 8: the like I'm the Favorite, I'm the New York Yankees.

468
00:20:54,788 --> 00:20:56,828
Speaker 8: Like they've been in that role, I'm the Dodgers. They've

469
00:20:56,828 --> 00:20:59,148
Speaker 8: been in that role for so long that I think

470
00:20:59,188 --> 00:21:01,988
Speaker 8: at this point having this setback is actually going to

471
00:21:02,028 --> 00:21:04,068
Speaker 8: be a really good thing for them mentally.

472
00:21:04,468 --> 00:21:05,948
Speaker 9: They're going to work harder than.

473
00:21:05,828 --> 00:21:07,708
Speaker 8: Maybe they have it's been I don't want to say

474
00:21:07,788 --> 00:21:09,708
Speaker 8: easy for them, but I mean, you go to your

475
00:21:09,748 --> 00:21:10,388
Speaker 8: whole career.

476
00:21:10,468 --> 00:21:10,788
Speaker 6: Guys.

477
00:21:11,548 --> 00:21:13,268
Speaker 9: You don't miss the playoffs, are you.

478
00:21:13,468 --> 00:21:16,068
Speaker 8: We're talking about DJ Moore the last time I was

479
00:21:16,068 --> 00:21:18,188
Speaker 8: in here as rated at Buffalo where he just had

480
00:21:18,228 --> 00:21:23,228
Speaker 8: his first winning season in the NFL or in college,

481
00:21:23,228 --> 00:21:24,988
Speaker 8: like he just had won ever. And you have someone

482
00:21:25,028 --> 00:21:26,628
Speaker 8: like Pat Mahomes who comes to the NFL and he's

483
00:21:26,628 --> 00:21:30,668
Speaker 8: just like MVP, Super bowls AFC Championship, this is a cakewalk.

484
00:21:30,988 --> 00:21:33,548
Speaker 8: And now you've got this situation where he's got his

485
00:21:33,628 --> 00:21:36,548
Speaker 8: back against the wall and he's an elite competitor. I mean,

486
00:21:36,548 --> 00:21:39,508
Speaker 8: I'm telling you, I'm kind of with you, guys. I mean,

487
00:21:39,588 --> 00:21:41,628
Speaker 8: it could be a comeback Player of the Year again,

488
00:21:41,948 --> 00:21:43,868
Speaker 8: it could be another MVP situation.

489
00:21:44,148 --> 00:21:46,188
Speaker 9: It might be given my iceman run for his money.

490
00:21:46,188 --> 00:21:47,748
Speaker 2: I don't, oh exactly.

491
00:21:47,788 --> 00:21:49,468
Speaker 3: Well, the problem is with that comeback Player of the

492
00:21:49,548 --> 00:21:51,188
Speaker 3: Year is that those guys don't want to be sitting

493
00:21:51,188 --> 00:21:53,508
Speaker 3: at NFL Honors. They want to be playing that weekend,

494
00:21:53,828 --> 00:21:55,348
Speaker 3: and then they have to walk up there and receive

495
00:21:55,388 --> 00:21:56,628
Speaker 3: that a word. They're like, I don't want to be here.

496
00:21:56,668 --> 00:21:58,188
Speaker 3: I don't want to be Comeback Player of the Year.

497
00:21:58,188 --> 00:22:00,908
Speaker 3: I'm seeking something greater than that. Look, how far you've

498
00:22:00,948 --> 00:22:02,948
Speaker 3: come in your ten years since your ACL tear, what

499
00:22:03,188 --> 00:22:03,988
Speaker 3: all that you've built?

500
00:22:05,228 --> 00:22:07,788
Speaker 8: That's right, it may got better than ever. Maybe, Well

501
00:22:07,828 --> 00:22:08,348
Speaker 8: what I'm saying.

502
00:22:08,468 --> 00:22:10,988
Speaker 3: The Seahawks lost Kenneth Walker the third to the Chiefs,

503
00:22:10,988 --> 00:22:13,388
Speaker 3: but they obviously retain the services of their star wide

504
00:22:13,428 --> 00:22:16,268
Speaker 3: receiver Jackson Smith and Jigba, who is fresh off winning

505
00:22:16,308 --> 00:22:18,988
Speaker 3: the Offensive Player of the Year award, hoisting a Lombardi

506
00:22:19,308 --> 00:22:21,348
Speaker 3: and signing a massive new deal. The twenty four year

507
00:22:21,348 --> 00:22:23,948
Speaker 3: old receiver says, there's always room to improve.

508
00:22:25,668 --> 00:22:27,828
Speaker 10: For me, it's always more work to be done, and

509
00:22:28,268 --> 00:22:31,668
Speaker 10: there's always another level to reach, and uh, you know,

510
00:22:33,268 --> 00:22:35,388
Speaker 10: but it is a blessing, you know. You know this

511
00:22:35,548 --> 00:22:37,468
Speaker 10: is a business, and you know I want to do

512
00:22:37,548 --> 00:22:40,868
Speaker 10: good business, and you know that's where we're at right now.

513
00:22:41,388 --> 00:22:44,348
Speaker 4: There's always another level to reach. The player of the Year,

514
00:22:44,508 --> 00:22:47,628
Speaker 4: one of the super Bowl highest paid receiver. Yes, what's

515
00:22:47,668 --> 00:22:48,148
Speaker 4: text for you?

516
00:22:50,028 --> 00:22:52,108
Speaker 10: The only thing better than one super Bowl is too

517
00:22:52,308 --> 00:22:58,188
Speaker 10: So you know, just just working to to get there.

518
00:22:58,228 --> 00:23:00,988
Speaker 10: And you know, whatever my team needs from me, you know,

519
00:23:01,068 --> 00:23:03,268
Speaker 10: I make sure, you know, I get it done.

520
00:23:04,788 --> 00:23:08,188
Speaker 3: Only somebody who just won one could so casually be

521
00:23:08,268 --> 00:23:11,588
Speaker 3: like all good, let's try it again. Well, it begins

522
00:23:11,628 --> 00:23:15,388
Speaker 3: on Wednesday, September ninth for the Seattle Seahawks. Wednesday again,

523
00:23:15,428 --> 00:23:19,868
Speaker 3: the NFL kickoff five forty pm Pacific on NBC. Now,

524
00:23:19,908 --> 00:23:22,628
Speaker 3: it has not been announced yet who the Seahawks will play,

525
00:23:22,708 --> 00:23:25,628
Speaker 3: because really it's built around the celebration of what they

526
00:23:25,668 --> 00:23:28,868
Speaker 3: had accomplished with the accomplished in February. But here are

527
00:23:28,908 --> 00:23:33,828
Speaker 3: your options for Seahawks home opponents this year, Isaac. You

528
00:23:33,828 --> 00:23:37,468
Speaker 3: look at this list, ye, here are the potentials. Now

529
00:23:37,668 --> 00:23:40,228
Speaker 3: remember the next day, the Rams and the Niners will

530
00:23:40,268 --> 00:23:42,308
Speaker 3: be playing in a different country and a different continent,

531
00:23:42,508 --> 00:23:43,308
Speaker 3: So take them off the.

532
00:23:43,228 --> 00:23:43,788
Speaker 2: List as well.

533
00:23:44,028 --> 00:23:46,228
Speaker 3: Who do you think the Seahawks should play in twenty

534
00:23:46,268 --> 00:23:47,308
Speaker 3: twenty six, home owners?

535
00:23:47,308 --> 00:23:49,748
Speaker 7: I think this one's obvious, guys, after the conversation we

536
00:23:49,908 --> 00:23:52,348
Speaker 7: just had, and given where we are, can we get

537
00:23:52,388 --> 00:23:55,228
Speaker 7: the Chiefs? We get the Chiefs to play this team?

538
00:23:55,348 --> 00:23:56,548
Speaker 6: I mean, this is a thing.

539
00:23:56,588 --> 00:23:59,188
Speaker 7: First off, let's just start with Patrick Mahomes because I

540
00:23:59,268 --> 00:24:02,668
Speaker 7: want to see Patrick Mahomes play. Patrick Mahomes playing in

541
00:24:02,668 --> 00:24:05,068
Speaker 7: that game one against the Super Bowl reigning Super Bowl

542
00:24:05,148 --> 00:24:07,468
Speaker 7: champs would be one of the craziest things that we

543
00:24:07,508 --> 00:24:08,468
Speaker 7: will see next season.

544
00:24:08,468 --> 00:24:11,668
Speaker 6: It'll be unbelievable football. A team again that.

545
00:24:11,708 --> 00:24:14,428
Speaker 7: Now signed Kenneth Walker by the way, so Kenneth Walker

546
00:24:14,508 --> 00:24:18,148
Speaker 7: is having a homecoming. That Chiefs team going into in

547
00:24:18,308 --> 00:24:21,028
Speaker 7: Lumenfield and playing against the Seahawks would, like I said,

548
00:24:21,068 --> 00:24:22,868
Speaker 7: it'd be one of the most exciting things to watch.

549
00:24:23,268 --> 00:24:25,268
Speaker 7: I also think it would be a really good challenge

550
00:24:25,268 --> 00:24:27,668
Speaker 7: for the Seattle Seahawks to start the season. Let's just

551
00:24:27,708 --> 00:24:29,948
Speaker 7: get right into it. Let's just play an opponent that

552
00:24:29,948 --> 00:24:31,588
Speaker 7: we're all really excited about, and.

553
00:24:31,628 --> 00:24:32,388
Speaker 6: Let's see what you do.

554
00:24:32,468 --> 00:24:34,068
Speaker 7: Because I think a lot of people are looking at

555
00:24:34,108 --> 00:24:35,148
Speaker 7: the Seattle Seahawks.

556
00:24:35,188 --> 00:24:37,388
Speaker 6: They're saying, who can Sam Darnold be? Can I do

557
00:24:37,428 --> 00:24:37,788
Speaker 6: it again?

558
00:24:37,828 --> 00:24:40,548
Speaker 7: They lost Kenneth Walker, YadA, YadA, YadA. Let's just get

559
00:24:40,628 --> 00:24:43,468
Speaker 7: right into it and see them play the Chiefs that

560
00:24:43,508 --> 00:24:44,108
Speaker 7: I think are.

561
00:24:43,948 --> 00:24:48,188
Speaker 6: Going to be fire on all cylinders. It'd be good.

562
00:24:48,228 --> 00:24:49,868
Speaker 6: Sad is tough, it'd be good.

563
00:24:50,108 --> 00:24:51,228
Speaker 9: That is very difficult.

564
00:24:51,228 --> 00:24:54,188
Speaker 8: I'm looking at that list again of the teams and

565
00:24:54,228 --> 00:24:56,588
Speaker 8: I'm like, man, these are some this is a tough schedule,

566
00:24:56,628 --> 00:24:58,668
Speaker 8: and these are some good games. You know, you look

567
00:24:58,708 --> 00:25:01,588
Speaker 8: at the like the Cowboys, I mean, that's a fun

568
00:25:01,628 --> 00:25:05,508
Speaker 8: game with that offense against the Sea defense. You have,

569
00:25:05,828 --> 00:25:09,388
Speaker 8: you know, the Patriots the Super Bowl rematch. The Chargers

570
00:25:09,388 --> 00:25:11,748
Speaker 8: are going to be a fun team, and Mike daniel Lethios,

571
00:25:11,908 --> 00:25:13,188
Speaker 8: you know, calling the plays there.

572
00:25:13,228 --> 00:25:14,268
Speaker 9: I'm like, dude, this is.

573
00:25:15,948 --> 00:25:17,668
Speaker 8: It's too good that I just got to go with

574
00:25:17,748 --> 00:25:21,868
Speaker 8: the obvious. With the obvious, we should get the matchup

575
00:25:21,908 --> 00:25:24,828
Speaker 8: that should have been the NFC Championship this year, Chicago

576
00:25:24,908 --> 00:25:27,668
Speaker 8: Bears at the Seattle Seahawks.

577
00:25:27,748 --> 00:25:30,828
Speaker 9: I mean, what whether at prime time? There's no better match.

578
00:25:30,628 --> 00:25:35,948
Speaker 8: The iceman, Kayleb Williams slaying the ball, Roman Dunsday Colts

579
00:25:36,028 --> 00:25:38,748
Speaker 8: in Loveland, you know, Luther Burn.

580
00:25:38,788 --> 00:25:39,388
Speaker 9: We want it all.

581
00:25:39,468 --> 00:25:41,948
Speaker 8: I want to see how they fare against against that defense.

582
00:25:41,988 --> 00:25:42,988
Speaker 9: That's what I want, because.

583
00:25:42,788 --> 00:25:45,028
Speaker 8: That's what I want in the NFC Championship game. I

584
00:25:45,068 --> 00:25:47,628
Speaker 8: think there's no better prime time matchup than than the

585
00:25:47,668 --> 00:25:50,308
Speaker 8: guy who's going to be the future of the NFL

586
00:25:50,348 --> 00:25:54,588
Speaker 8: and Kayleb Williams against his defense. I'm uh, that's my pick.

587
00:25:54,668 --> 00:25:56,548
Speaker 8: I mean, there are there are a lot of decent

588
00:25:56,588 --> 00:25:58,668
Speaker 8: options there. I will say, I mean the Chiefs are

589
00:26:00,028 --> 00:26:01,668
Speaker 8: that's a good one. But I don't know, Mike, Gee,

590
00:26:01,708 --> 00:26:05,108
Speaker 8: what do you gotta do? That's tough dude, not just decent.

591
00:26:05,188 --> 00:26:07,348
Speaker 8: I'll bring it up again one more time. Let's go

592
00:26:07,468 --> 00:26:07,828
Speaker 8: through this.

593
00:26:07,948 --> 00:26:11,068
Speaker 5: Okay, my prediction, and Jamie, we got into this a

594
00:26:11,068 --> 00:26:13,588
Speaker 5: little bit yesterday. My prediction for the Arizona Cardinals in

595
00:26:13,628 --> 00:26:16,428
Speaker 5: twenty twenty six is paid right, So I'm gonna get

596
00:26:16,508 --> 00:26:18,668
Speaker 5: rid of them rams in the forty nine ers. Both

597
00:26:18,668 --> 00:26:20,148
Speaker 5: of them would have been amazing, but you're right, they're

598
00:26:20,148 --> 00:26:20,948
Speaker 5: playing the next day.

599
00:26:21,028 --> 00:26:22,028
Speaker 4: Okay, So now you got.

600
00:26:21,908 --> 00:26:27,348
Speaker 5: Cowboys, Giants, Chiefs, Chargers, Bears, Patriots, any.

601
00:26:27,268 --> 00:26:28,468
Speaker 4: Single one of them.

602
00:26:28,548 --> 00:26:28,748
Speaker 6: Now.

603
00:26:28,828 --> 00:26:31,388
Speaker 4: The only problem with the Chiefs one is you know,

604
00:26:31,468 --> 00:26:32,428
Speaker 4: I'm sitting here and I'm.

605
00:26:32,268 --> 00:26:34,228
Speaker 5: Saying, hey, blind faith, Patrick Mahomes is gonna be ready

606
00:26:34,228 --> 00:26:36,548
Speaker 5: to go week one. Mike North at the NFL, who's

607
00:26:36,548 --> 00:26:38,228
Speaker 5: in charge of making the schedule, Good morning, Mike, it's

608
00:26:38,268 --> 00:26:41,148
Speaker 5: Mike North season. I'm sure he's watching right now, and say, okay,

609
00:26:41,188 --> 00:26:42,748
Speaker 5: I follow this is gonna be fine on blind Faith.

610
00:26:42,788 --> 00:26:43,788
Speaker 4: Hey, that's good enough for me.

611
00:26:44,068 --> 00:26:46,708
Speaker 5: Pencil the Chiefs, Well, you really can't do that, and

612
00:26:46,748 --> 00:26:48,148
Speaker 5: you save it for later in the season when you

613
00:26:48,148 --> 00:26:50,868
Speaker 5: hopefully get a fully healthy Patrick Mahomes.

614
00:26:50,508 --> 00:26:51,748
Speaker 4: And the Chiefs that are fully into it.

615
00:26:51,788 --> 00:26:54,148
Speaker 5: At that point, Chargers also an interesting one, and we

616
00:26:54,268 --> 00:26:56,308
Speaker 5: can't wait to see that matchup with Mike McDaniel.

617
00:26:56,348 --> 00:26:58,668
Speaker 4: That is also fascinating Cowboys.

618
00:26:59,068 --> 00:27:01,388
Speaker 5: NFL usually likes to save that for later as well.

619
00:27:01,428 --> 00:27:04,148
Speaker 5: You don't want to necessarily burn something right away for

620
00:27:04,228 --> 00:27:08,228
Speaker 5: a game that people are gonna watch later on the Patriots.

621
00:27:08,668 --> 00:27:10,308
Speaker 5: The last time we had a Super Bowl rematch in

622
00:27:10,348 --> 00:27:12,628
Speaker 5: this game was the Panthers and the Broncos, and the

623
00:27:12,668 --> 00:27:15,788
Speaker 5: Panthers really didn't like I remember Ron Rivera talking about

624
00:27:16,068 --> 00:27:18,268
Speaker 5: how much went into that game and really felt like

625
00:27:18,268 --> 00:27:19,268
Speaker 5: it affected the early part.

626
00:27:19,188 --> 00:27:21,028
Speaker 4: Of their seasons. I'm gonna throw that one out. So

627
00:27:21,068 --> 00:27:22,428
Speaker 4: I'm coming back to the Giants.

628
00:27:23,948 --> 00:27:27,588
Speaker 5: Not a playoff team this last year, but I'm expecting

629
00:27:27,628 --> 00:27:30,308
Speaker 5: a big improvement in East Rutherford, in large part because

630
00:27:30,308 --> 00:27:33,108
Speaker 5: of who the head coach is. They've got a fantastic

631
00:27:33,108 --> 00:27:35,788
Speaker 5: coaching staff as well. That's gonna get this guy ready

632
00:27:35,828 --> 00:27:36,068
Speaker 5: to go.

633
00:27:36,148 --> 00:27:37,188
Speaker 4: He was already.

634
00:27:36,868 --> 00:27:39,828
Speaker 5: Exciting as a rookie and a candidate for Offensive Rookie

635
00:27:39,868 --> 00:27:42,468
Speaker 5: of the Year, So you know you're gonna get his arm,

636
00:27:42,508 --> 00:27:46,468
Speaker 5: his legs, everything that's possible. There Cam Scattaboo in the backfield,

637
00:27:46,588 --> 00:27:48,228
Speaker 5: he is returning as well.

638
00:27:48,468 --> 00:27:50,788
Speaker 4: I mean, there's a lot of reasons for me to sell.

639
00:27:50,588 --> 00:27:52,108
Speaker 5: This Giants team that I think is gonna be a

640
00:27:52,108 --> 00:27:54,228
Speaker 5: lot better and is not gonna be afraid to go

641
00:27:54,228 --> 00:27:57,068
Speaker 5: into Seattle on Opening night and give that team a

642
00:27:57,148 --> 00:27:59,388
Speaker 5: run for its money. I'm pitching the Giants right here.

643
00:27:59,388 --> 00:28:00,828
Speaker 5: I don't know if it'll wind up being the Giants,

644
00:28:00,828 --> 00:28:02,668
Speaker 5: but I'm pitching. I think Seth in the end, I

645
00:28:02,668 --> 00:28:04,988
Speaker 5: think Seth is gonna just thinking how the NFL thing,

646
00:28:05,028 --> 00:28:06,388
Speaker 5: and Set's gonna wind up being right.

647
00:28:06,828 --> 00:28:08,668
Speaker 4: But I'm giving a hard sell on the Giants.

648
00:28:08,348 --> 00:28:09,788
Speaker 2: Here, all right, Clients make sense too.

649
00:28:09,828 --> 00:28:13,148
Speaker 3: We're constantly looking at the chilly hand and shake of

650
00:28:13,188 --> 00:28:15,788
Speaker 3: the head coaches at midfield. This would not be that

651
00:28:15,828 --> 00:28:18,188
Speaker 3: because Mike McDonald worked for John Harbaugh for a long

652
00:28:18,268 --> 00:28:22,068
Speaker 3: time and that's essentially his mentor in coaching. So that

653
00:28:22,108 --> 00:28:24,948
Speaker 3: would be maybe a frosty reunion. Who knows, no, they

654
00:28:25,028 --> 00:28:28,068
Speaker 3: legitimately really love each other. So I like all the options.

655
00:28:28,148 --> 00:28:30,908
Speaker 3: We will find out in May when the schedule release happens.

656
00:28:33,828 --> 00:28:36,188
Speaker 3: There is not a collective handful of days better in

657
00:28:36,228 --> 00:28:38,988
Speaker 3: the sports calendar than the NCAA tournament between the round

658
00:28:39,028 --> 00:28:41,028
Speaker 3: of sixty four to thirty two now we are entering

659
00:28:41,068 --> 00:28:44,548
Speaker 3: sweet sixteendom, which is why that is the basis for

667

Speaker 3: took place at Madison Square Garden. All things coming up

668
00:29:08,388 --> 00:29:10,948
Speaker 3: in New York that year late early ninety nine. This

669
00:29:11,108 --> 00:29:14,068

Speaker 4: A or B.

679
00:29:43,548 --> 00:29:48,388
Speaker 5: I mean, I just feel like there's too much competition

680
00:29:48,468 --> 00:29:50,348
Speaker 5: at the receiver position for Tory Holt, the same thing

681
00:29:50,348 --> 00:29:51,828

698
00:30:34,428 --> 00:30:35,788
Speaker 2: g up here? In this trivia game.

699
00:30:36,268 --> 00:30:39,828
Speaker 3: With Michigan, Tennessee and Purdue all making the Sweet sixteen,

700
00:30:40,668 --> 00:30:43,308
Speaker 3: the schools for Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, and Drew Brees

701
00:30:43,348 --> 00:30:47,988
Speaker 3: are all represented in the tournament. Those three quarterbacks, the

702
00:30:48,028 --> 00:30:51,308
Speaker 3: top three leading passers in NFL history, combined for over

703
00:30:51,348 --> 00:30:54,108
Speaker 3: two hundred and fifty thousand yards in their career.

704
00:30:54,268 --> 00:30:57,308
Speaker 2: Crazy, but Isaac as a defensive lineman. Let's keep it

705
00:30:57,308 --> 00:30:58,308

706
00:30:58,748 --> 00:31:02,468
Speaker 3: Which player had the most combined sacks to take down

707
00:31:02,628 --> 00:31:09,508

00:31:09,588 --> 00:31:10,588

00:31:35,988 --> 00:31:39,228
Speaker 2: Mathis, you were almost there, A or B.

716
00:31:39,548 --> 00:31:43,028
Speaker 6: God, I should have went Jason Taylor. Taylor probably played again.

717
00:31:42,868 --> 00:31:44,748
Speaker 2: Taylor because of the division.

718
00:31:44,828 --> 00:31:47,828
Speaker 6: Yeah, that was dumb. I gave it away.

719
00:31:47,908 --> 00:31:49,108
Speaker 2: You were you were right there.

720
00:31:49,428 --> 00:31:52,988
Speaker 3: Twenty one and a half combined sacks against the NFL's

721
00:31:53,028 --> 00:31:55,348
Speaker 3: top three passing leader. Of course, the Hall of Famer

722
00:31:55,588 --> 00:31:59,188
Speaker 3: Jason Taylor sacked Manning in Peyton's first career game, Week

723
00:31:59,228 --> 00:32:01,148
Speaker 3: one of ninety eight. Then he had a total of

724
00:32:01,228 --> 00:32:03,908
Speaker 3: five against Manning and the rest of his career, he

725
00:32:03,948 --> 00:32:06,468
Speaker 3: took down Brady Down eleven and a half times because

726
00:32:06,748 --> 00:32:08,788
Speaker 3: which is the second most by any defender.

727
00:32:09,108 --> 00:32:11,188
Speaker 2: And then he sacked Drew Brees.

728
00:32:10,988 --> 00:32:13,748
Speaker 3: Five times, which includes games when Breeze was both in

729
00:32:13,908 --> 00:32:15,228
Speaker 3: San Diego and New Orleans.

730
00:32:15,268 --> 00:32:16,508
Speaker 6: I can't believe I gave that.

731
00:32:16,508 --> 00:32:18,988
Speaker 2: That's all right, you were, you were? I have a competitor,

732
00:32:19,708 --> 00:32:26,028
Speaker 2: processed elimination. All right? Who the intensity is? Yeah, we're

733
00:32:26,028 --> 00:32:26,868
Speaker 2: feeling palpable.

734
00:32:27,028 --> 00:32:31,268
Speaker 3: It's the music, okay, seth Iowa and Nebraska face off

735
00:32:31,428 --> 00:32:31,988
Speaker 3: later today.

736
00:32:32,068 --> 00:32:32,548
Speaker 2: It's true.

737
00:32:32,548 --> 00:32:36,148
Speaker 3: They call that football probably the Pharmageddon or something like that.

738
00:32:36,668 --> 00:32:38,788
Speaker 2: Somebody has too. I heard it.

739
00:32:39,668 --> 00:32:40,028
Speaker 4: I heard it.

740
00:32:40,428 --> 00:32:40,828
Speaker 6: I heard it.

741
00:32:41,028 --> 00:32:43,068
Speaker 3: Somebody get to us on social and see if that's true.

742
00:32:43,188 --> 00:32:45,668
Speaker 2: Iowa to Nebraska Sweet sixteen. It's happening in Houston.

743
00:32:46,108 --> 00:32:48,868
Speaker 3: This could also be dubbed the Roger Craig Bowl, as

744
00:32:48,908 --> 00:32:51,148
Speaker 3: the Hall of Fame running back played college football for

745
00:32:51,228 --> 00:32:53,508
Speaker 3: the corn Huskers, and he grew up in your hometown

746
00:32:53,548 --> 00:32:58,028
Speaker 3: of Davenport. The question to you is this set which

747
00:32:58,148 --> 00:33:02,228
Speaker 3: team did Roger Craig total the most touchdowns against in

748
00:33:02,268 --> 00:33:04,788
Speaker 3: his eleven year career when he played for the Niners,

749
00:33:04,828 --> 00:33:07,148
Speaker 3: the Raiders, and the Vikings. Did he score the most

750
00:33:07,148 --> 00:33:11,788
Speaker 3: touchdowns against a the Falcons, be the Buccaneers, see the Rams,

751
00:33:11,908 --> 00:33:14,268
Speaker 3: or d the Cowboys all what I like in the

752
00:33:14,348 --> 00:33:16,588
Speaker 3: question we give you who we played for, because again

753
00:33:16,708 --> 00:33:18,308
Speaker 3: maybe division kind of like that'll.

754
00:33:18,068 --> 00:33:21,708
Speaker 9: Whole I was sort of thinking, yeah, I was sort of.

755
00:33:21,828 --> 00:33:23,828
Speaker 9: I mean, the other way. It's a crap shoot the

756
00:33:23,908 --> 00:33:24,308
Speaker 9: other way.

757
00:33:24,468 --> 00:33:27,428
Speaker 8: Really, I knew that the hint of the division is

758
00:33:27,508 --> 00:33:29,148
Speaker 8: kind of the only way to go with it. I

759
00:33:29,188 --> 00:33:32,708
Speaker 8: think if you're looking at like statistically, it's not helpful.

760
00:33:32,748 --> 00:33:36,148
Speaker 3: But I will tell you the touchdown total is twelve twelve.

761
00:33:36,348 --> 00:33:39,828
Speaker 9: No, that's not helpful of all. Absolutely not for me.

762
00:33:40,188 --> 00:33:44,148
Speaker 8: It confused me more. Jamie, thanks so much. See Ram

763
00:33:44,588 --> 00:33:45,628
Speaker 8: final answer.

764
00:33:45,628 --> 00:33:50,348
Speaker 6: That's right. I like that. Good.

765
00:33:50,508 --> 00:33:52,788
Speaker 2: Wow, I'm absolutely shot in the dark.

766
00:33:53,188 --> 00:33:56,188
Speaker 3: It was the Rams and Roger Craig scored twelve touchdowns

767
00:33:56,228 --> 00:33:59,468
Speaker 3: against his career. In nineteen eighty eight, in the midst

768
00:33:59,508 --> 00:34:01,828
Speaker 3: of his Offensive Player of the Year award winning season,

769
00:34:01,868 --> 00:34:04,108
Speaker 3: Craig got a three touchdown game in which you went

770
00:34:04,108 --> 00:34:06,708
Speaker 3: off for two hundred yards over two hundred in a

771
00:34:06,788 --> 00:34:07,708
Speaker 3: win against the Rams.

772
00:34:07,988 --> 00:34:08,988
Speaker 2: Back to Craig's alma matter.

773
00:34:09,068 --> 00:34:11,628
Speaker 3: Though the Cornhuskers team was the first in program history

774
00:34:11,628 --> 00:34:14,068
Speaker 3: to win an NCAA tournament game, let alone reached the

775
00:34:14,108 --> 00:34:16,988
Speaker 3: Sweet sixteen that's going on right now. Is there like

776
00:34:17,028 --> 00:34:20,388
Speaker 3: a Roger Craig Avenue or something in Davenport.

777
00:34:19,868 --> 00:34:21,108
Speaker 9: You know what there should be?

778
00:34:21,188 --> 00:34:21,628
Speaker 4: There's not.

779
00:34:22,068 --> 00:34:24,468
Speaker 8: I think he went to Davenport Central High School, and

780
00:34:24,508 --> 00:34:25,748
Speaker 8: I don't. I mean, they don't even have like a

781
00:34:25,748 --> 00:34:28,308
Speaker 8: field named after him or anything on. I know, they

782
00:34:28,388 --> 00:34:30,068
Speaker 8: really come on, Ford, step it up.

783

797
00:35:09,108 --> 00:35:12,388
Speaker 3: week sixteen and twenty sixteen. Up by seventeen in the

798
00:35:12,428 --> 00:35:14,908
Speaker 3: final minutes of the fourth quarter, the Chiefs were primed

799
00:35:15,028 --> 00:35:16,668
Speaker 3: to run up the score with the ball in the

800
00:35:16,668 --> 00:35:17,948
Speaker 3: Broncos two yard line.

801
00:35:18,708 --> 00:35:20,268
