I'm 13 00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:39,159 Speaker 2: in a hotel room. The video looks terrible. Maybe they 14 00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:40,800 Speaker 2: could give me a lamp to go on the other 15 00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:42,840 Speaker 2: side of my face so it don't look like I'm 16 00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:45,479 Speaker 2: in a floodlight right here to my left. But all 17 00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:48,320 Speaker 2: that being said, it's great to see you. I can 18 00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:51,760 Speaker 2: tell you've been either at camp or you have been 19 00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:55,280 Speaker 2: doing the golf tour because you look radiant. Your skin 20 00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:59,520 Speaker 2: color is absolutely gorgeous. I'm pale as could be and 21 00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:00,800 Speaker 2: it's the since summer. 22 00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:03,160 Speaker 3: No makeup is necessary when you work. 23 00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:06,120 Speaker 2: Now, yeah, I mean you're glowing. You're glowing on that jo. 24 00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:07,880 Speaker 1: I want to take you to a time when there 25 00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:10,200 Speaker 1: was not a lot of sun out because you were 26 00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:13,000 Speaker 1: on the call for the two thousand and seven NFC 27 00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:18,040 Speaker 1: Championship game at lambeau Field, the Giants against the Packers. 28 00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:21,800 Speaker 1: We knew it was going to be cold, but when 29 00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,280 Speaker 1: you finally got to the stadium, could you believe how 30 00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:25,400 Speaker 1: cold it actually was. 31 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:30,920 Speaker 2: It's a great question. No, Yeah, you can't describe it. 32 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:32,800 Speaker 2: And you don't want to be the one you never 33 00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:35,880 Speaker 2: but want to be the one complaining about the weather. 34 00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,640 Speaker 2: But it was part of the story. And I remember 35 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:42,880 Speaker 2: when I was going to Louisville to begin my broadcasting 36 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,399 Speaker 2: career and I was in the car with my dad 37 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:47,320 Speaker 2: and he said, I want to tell you a couple 38 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:50,160 Speaker 2: of things. One of the things was, nobody cares that 39 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 2: the announcer is cold. Nobody cares if the announcer is hot, 40 00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,920 Speaker 2: nobody cares if the announcer played golf that day. The 41 00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 2: fans are there to listen to the game and they 42 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,440 Speaker 2: want to hear about their team, and in this case, 43 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:06,960 Speaker 2: you know, you have a massive audience on this freezing 44 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,120 Speaker 2: dan Green Bay. The irony of it was my dad 45 00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,920 Speaker 2: did the ice Bowl and he did it with Ray Scott. 46 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:14,400 Speaker 2: And so when you go back and you look at 47 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,440 Speaker 2: the highlights and Ray Scott's like, well, what do you think, Jack, 48 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,080 Speaker 2: And my Dad's like, oh, I think it's cold, right, 49 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,840 Speaker 2: And so there he is breaking his own rule. And 50 00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,400 Speaker 2: so you didn't want to complain about the cold as 51 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,400 Speaker 2: the announcer, but you're right. I mean going down to 52 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 2: the field. I remember standing up there with Troy and 53 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 2: he and I going we got to go down to 54 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:35,880 Speaker 2: the field because you got to just see what the 55 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 2: footing's like and you got to get a sense of 56 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,200 Speaker 2: if you know, it's that much colder down on the field. 57 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 2: We went down there. It was like the Griswolds at 58 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 2: the Grand Canyon. We went down on the field and 59 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 2: was like, okay, let's go back up. It was freezing 60 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:52,239 Speaker 2: and I just did. I had never experienced cold like that. 61 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:54,919 Speaker 2: As you know, your fingers don't really work right. You're 62 00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 2: trying to write with a pen and the ink's not 63 00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,160 Speaker 2: coming out. It was just it was a great night 64 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 2: for football. Glad I could say I was there. 65 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, and you think about you know, the offensive linemen 66 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 1: usually come out in short sleeves and the whole macho thing. 67 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 1: And you know, I know, the Giants players came out 68 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 1: for their normal kind of in shorts, running around. 69 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,440 Speaker 3: Loosening up. Most of the guys went right back in. 70 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,960 Speaker 1: They're like, the heck with this, Like this is brutal, 71 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 1: this is this is not the time to act like 72 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:24,160 Speaker 1: the tough guy. 73 00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,679 Speaker 2: No, but I do think, if my memory is right, 74 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:32,799 Speaker 2: Plexico came out with at least short sleeves pre game 75 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 2: when we were down there, and I just remember looking 76 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 2: at Troy and Troy was like, my god, I don't 77 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 2: know how anybody could be standing down here with short 78 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 2: sleeves on. But you know, they're running around and the 79 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:45,840 Speaker 2: juices are flowing and what have you. But it was, uh, 80 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 2: it's a night I'll never forget. And it was a 81 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 2: it was an incredible game, uh, and worthy of kind 82 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:57,920 Speaker 2: of the aura and mystique of lambeau Field on a 83 00:03:58,080 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 2: you know, negative temperature night. 84 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 1: You know, it's interesting because going into the game, Eli 85 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 1: obviously having played his college ball at Old Miss, you know, 86 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 1: and although Farv was from Mississippi, you know, having played 87 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 1: in so many important games in that cold weather, everyone 88 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 1: thought that it might favor Farv and Eli Manning had 89 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,920 Speaker 1: one of his greatest games ever two hundred and fifty 90 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 1: one yards Plaxico had eleven catches for a buck fifty one. 91 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:26,920 Speaker 1: They were kind of throwing it around as if it 92 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:28,599 Speaker 1: wasn't minus twenty three below. 93 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:32,119 Speaker 2: I agree, it was stunning. It was stunning to watch. 94 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 2: It was. I felt like, you know, just on the 95 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 2: first glance, green Bay was more affected by the cold 96 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,680 Speaker 2: and Farv was than the Giants where in Eli was. 97 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:46,400 Speaker 2: So yeah, it was. It was a remarkable game in 98 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:50,920 Speaker 2: what was basically a perfect postseason for Eli Manning. I mean, 99 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 2: I think it's easy to forget yet you know the 100 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:56,760 Speaker 2: two thousand and four draft and then you know the 101 00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,960 Speaker 2: taking over for Kurt Warner, and that happened in the 102 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 2: beginning of his career, but now he went to a 103 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,719 Speaker 2: different level in that postseason. I mean, you know it 104 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:08,720 Speaker 2: better than I. You know the stats better than I. 105 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:13,160 Speaker 2: But I just remember seeing kind of fits and starts 106 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,800 Speaker 2: of his early part of his career, and then that 107 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:20,360 Speaker 2: postseason he just hit it and went to a different 108 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:22,520 Speaker 2: Eli than I think any of US had ever seen. 109 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:24,920 Speaker 1: Did you get a sense the Packers were the number 110 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,359 Speaker 1: one seed the Giants or the number two seed or 111 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 1: the number one seed. Yeah, the Giants had beaten the 112 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:34,839 Speaker 1: Cowboys the week before in Dallas. But when Brandon Jacobs 113 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:38,960 Speaker 1: knocks the logo off of Charles Woodson's helmet, did you 114 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,760 Speaker 1: kind of get a sense in the booth that, man, 115 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:45,839 Speaker 1: these guys came to play in are not intimidated at all, 116 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 1: despite the fact that the Packers had routed them earlier 117 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,919 Speaker 1: that season in MetLife Stadium or Giants Stadium at the time. 118 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,080 Speaker 2: I think that delivered a message. I do. I think 119 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:58,040 Speaker 2: that was symbolic of the way that team came in there, 120 00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,359 Speaker 2: that Giants team came in there ready to go. And 121 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:04,720 Speaker 2: I think that reflects on Tom Coughlin. You know, I 122 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 2: think history at least for Troy and me, And I 123 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:09,919 Speaker 2: know I think you did this with Troy. But he 124 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,279 Speaker 2: would tell you that of all the guys he would 125 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,599 Speaker 2: think would be tight lipped when we would sit down 126 00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:17,960 Speaker 2: with a head coach prior to a game and not 127 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:22,839 Speaker 2: reveal anything, Belichick absolutely didn't say anything. Tom Coughlin was 128 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 2: great and gave you everything you needed to know. I 129 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,800 Speaker 2: think trusted us, probably because of Troy and his integrity, 130 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,680 Speaker 2: but he was wide open and I felt like I 131 00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:35,400 Speaker 2: walked out of our meeting with Tom knowing that Tom 132 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:37,960 Speaker 2: thought his team was ready to go, and to me, 133 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:42,200 Speaker 2: if that's the case, then I thought they would play well. 134 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,360 Speaker 2: I didn't know that they would be ready for that 135 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:49,680 Speaker 2: kind of a fistfight in that kind of cold I 136 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:53,479 Speaker 2: think it says everything you need to know. And probably 137 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,200 Speaker 2: as we talk about it this way, thinking about what 138 00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,120 Speaker 2: was to come in the Super Bowl, it shouldn't have 139 00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:01,920 Speaker 2: been so surprised and they probably shouldn't have been such 140 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,799 Speaker 2: a big underdog going into that Super Bowl. For having 141 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:08,039 Speaker 2: gone through Green Bay, that team had to feel like 142 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:10,480 Speaker 2: behind closed doors they were a team of destiny. 143 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:14,640 Speaker 1: You know, your production team did a great job chronicling 144 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:17,160 Speaker 1: a play that happened at the end of the first half, 145 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 1: which kind of. 146 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:22,880 Speaker 3: Was symbol was significant in the sense. 147 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:26,040 Speaker 1: That the score. Obviously, Crosby kicks a field goal to 148 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,200 Speaker 1: make a ten to six at the half, but it 149 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 1: was sort of a symbol of what that team was 150 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,920 Speaker 1: as far as just being well coached and smart. They 151 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:36,960 Speaker 1: ran a screen the Packers did near the end of 152 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,440 Speaker 1: the first half, and it looks like it might go 153 00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:44,800 Speaker 1: for a touchdown and Antonio Pierce splits three blockers and 154 00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:48,040 Speaker 1: winds up keeping the Packers to a field goal attempt, 155 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,320 Speaker 1: which made a ten to six at the half. But 156 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,800 Speaker 1: you know, that kind of play sort of was symbolic 157 00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 1: of what that Giant team was about. 158 00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, there were a lot of guys on that team 159 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:01,840 Speaker 2: did end up in the Hall of Fame, But I 160 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 2: think we're pretty underrated, and I think as a group 161 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:07,880 Speaker 2: really played well together. I mean we're scratching the surface 162 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:11,800 Speaker 2: of the offensive players, but Antonio Pierce certainly is on 163 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 2: that list. Yeah, I think the job that Spagnola did 164 00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:20,560 Speaker 2: with that defense, what they had up front, the leadership 165 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:26,640 Speaker 2: of Strahan, Antonio, the guys they had in that secondary. Again, 166 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,200 Speaker 2: I mean, I think when you're in it and it's 167 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:34,480 Speaker 2: current events, you get tricked into just kind of buying 168 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:36,679 Speaker 2: into the national narrative. And then when you get away 169 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 2: from it and you think about those individuals and how 170 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:44,280 Speaker 2: they played as a group, again, it should not have 171 00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:48,559 Speaker 2: been so surprising, I think to a national audience that 172 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:50,920 Speaker 2: they did what they did, not only in Green Bay, 173 00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,040 Speaker 2: but in Super Bowl forty two. 174 00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:55,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, as the game we're on, you almost got a 175 00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:56,959 Speaker 1: sense that the Giants started to take control. 176 00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:58,280 Speaker 3: I think there was a. 177 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,560 Speaker 1: Long Bradshaw touchdown run that got called back on a 178 00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:04,720 Speaker 1: Chris snee holding penalty. But as this game is unfolding, 179 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:07,080 Speaker 1: you know, you guys are doing a great job of 180 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,880 Speaker 1: telling the story of Tom Coughlin's face, which I think 181 00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:13,120 Speaker 1: has become an X handle, the frozen face of Coughlin. 182 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:15,200 Speaker 3: But you know it. 183 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:18,439 Speaker 1: You know, pictures are worth a thousand words, and you 184 00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:20,600 Speaker 1: guys kept cutting to his face and it's getting redder 185 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:21,440 Speaker 1: and redder. 186 00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:23,480 Speaker 3: What were you thinking when you saw this? 187 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:27,680 Speaker 2: It looked dangerous. I mean, I'm not a doctor, but 188 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,040 Speaker 2: it looked like it was just gonna like from the 189 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:33,040 Speaker 2: movie Frozen. It was just gonna like in shatter and 190 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:35,320 Speaker 2: and and up. He was they may win, but he 191 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 2: was gonna have to go back and get his face. 192 00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:41,240 Speaker 2: When it warmed up at Lambo, it was like, my god, 193 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:44,480 Speaker 2: this this looks like I don't know what frostbite looks like, 194 00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:50,959 Speaker 2: but it looked like he was getting close. So uh yeah, 195 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:56,440 Speaker 2: it's funny that that's probably the enduring image that I 196 00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 2: have from that game. When I think of that game, 197 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,600 Speaker 2: I think of Tom Coughlin's face. And I love Tom Coughlin, 198 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:05,079 Speaker 2: but I think and you don't want to, You certainly 199 00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:08,120 Speaker 2: don't want to make fun of it. But it was 200 00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:13,520 Speaker 2: so surprising to see somebody's face turn that color. But 201 00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:17,480 Speaker 2: obviously he lived to tell uh and it was okay 202 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:18,679 Speaker 2: after they warmed up. 203 00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:21,800 Speaker 1: So then Lawrence time started missing some field goals here 204 00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:25,040 Speaker 1: to try to put this thing away, and you're sitting 205 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:28,240 Speaker 1: there and I know I was feeling this and talking 206 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:30,920 Speaker 1: to Carl Banks and Dick Lynch during commercial breaks. 207 00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:32,319 Speaker 3: It's like, you know, they've. 208 00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:35,480 Speaker 1: Had eight million chances to put this game away and 209 00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:39,160 Speaker 1: they haven't put it away. And at some point Farv 210 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:42,280 Speaker 1: is going to become far for at least a drive here, 211 00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:46,000 Speaker 1: and they're going to kind of squander the golden opportunity. 212 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:47,960 Speaker 1: Did you feel that way in the booth as the 213 00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:49,960 Speaker 1: game was starting to unfold. 214 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:53,720 Speaker 2: Yes, because that that Giants team was still on the 215 00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:58,200 Speaker 2: younger side and Farv was now then wrapping up his 216 00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:00,640 Speaker 2: time in Green Bay that incredible run, and you just 217 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:03,679 Speaker 2: felt like any fan of a team, I don't care 218 00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:07,880 Speaker 2: what the sport, I don't care what the team when 219 00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,040 Speaker 2: you miss chances to put a game away, and then 220 00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:12,079 Speaker 2: you're playing against the Hall of Famer. You think, well, 221 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:16,839 Speaker 2: that's it. We blew it, we had it, we lost it. 222 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:20,080 Speaker 2: But far have never became far for that. It never 223 00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:25,560 Speaker 2: happened in that game. And so you know, Times finds 224 00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:29,200 Speaker 2: it finally hits one, which you know it's easy to 225 00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:32,200 Speaker 2: say that he just starts missing field goals, and I'm 226 00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:35,760 Speaker 2: with you, but I just can't imagine kicking a ball 227 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:37,960 Speaker 2: with that footing with the ball must have been like 228 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,360 Speaker 2: a rock. They're trying to keep them as warm as 229 00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:43,240 Speaker 2: they can. And I don't remember the length of the 230 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:46,320 Speaker 2: game winning field goal. It was in the high thirties though, 231 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:50,880 Speaker 2: I think maybe thirty eight yard. Oh god, okay, forty 232 00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 2: seven yard is that in that night in that stadium 233 00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:59,319 Speaker 2: and grass with that temperature, that's amazing. 234 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,520 Speaker 1: It's the funny thing is that Corey Webster gets the pick, 235 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:05,000 Speaker 1: so you're saying, all right, they have to win it. 236 00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:07,800 Speaker 1: Here you're playing with too much fire now they don't 237 00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:11,120 Speaker 1: really do anything offensively, and there's that kind of funny 238 00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:15,120 Speaker 1: look with frozen face Coughlin as Times just decides to 239 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:15,640 Speaker 1: run out. 240 00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:16,600 Speaker 3: Because I think there. 241 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:17,959 Speaker 1: Was a feeling like, hey, you know what, with the 242 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,800 Speaker 1: way their d is playing, maybe they'll punt him here 243 00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:24,080 Speaker 1: and try to get pin them and then set up 244 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:26,000 Speaker 1: a short field if they can get a three and out. 245 00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:27,640 Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden, you see Times come 246 00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:29,560 Speaker 1: running in. It's like, oh, I'm good to go. This 247 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:31,560 Speaker 1: is like it was like he thought he was in Miami. 248 00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:36,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I agree. I kind of remember feeling like, well, 249 00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,600 Speaker 2: this is no given, and now you're gonna hand far 250 00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:42,200 Speaker 2: of the ball back, you know, with a short field 251 00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:46,440 Speaker 2: and what have you. So I he hit that was 252 00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:51,520 Speaker 2: I thought stunning and one of the biggest field goals 253 00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:55,040 Speaker 2: I think I've ever called, you know, for a shot 254 00:12:55,120 --> 00:13:00,600 Speaker 2: to go to the super Bowl on that night. Yards 255 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:02,400 Speaker 2: that's that's that's a field goal. 256 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:04,640 Speaker 3: You know. I know that. 257 00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:07,800 Speaker 1: You know you guys had the opportunity to then do 258 00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:11,120 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. It must have been kind of fun 259 00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:13,880 Speaker 1: to you know, because I know, listen, it's not it's 260 00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,960 Speaker 1: all part of a network rotation. And in twenty eleven 261 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:20,199 Speaker 1: you did the NFC Championship Game, but NBC did forty six. 262 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,559 Speaker 1: But being along for that ride once they had beaten 263 00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:26,680 Speaker 1: Tampa and then knocking off the Cowboys in Dallas and 264 00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:30,199 Speaker 1: then doing this game. It must have been a nice 265 00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:32,360 Speaker 1: feeling to know that, hey, we're going to get a 266 00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:37,480 Speaker 1: chance to see this story book ending one way or another, 267 00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:39,520 Speaker 1: but be on the call of it since we've done 268 00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:41,000 Speaker 1: so many of these games anyway. 269 00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:44,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, no, you're right. I mean, you know, you see 270 00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:48,280 Speaker 2: the team every day, and that's kind of the difference. 271 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:50,240 Speaker 2: Not that anybody cares about this part of it, but 272 00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:53,160 Speaker 2: when you leave a place like Fox, it covers a conference. 273 00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:55,680 Speaker 2: You can ride the hot team, you can ride the 274 00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:59,160 Speaker 2: hot hand, so you you get a first hand sense 275 00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:02,120 Speaker 2: of where these teams are as opposed to a Monday 276 00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:03,920 Speaker 2: night schedule where you're all over the place and you 277 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:05,800 Speaker 2: get one team, you know, you get a bunch of 278 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:09,520 Speaker 2: teams twice, that's it. We had that whole run, and 279 00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:11,840 Speaker 2: so you get the feeling like you know these guys 280 00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:14,319 Speaker 2: probably better than you actually do. I mean, there's no 281 00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:17,680 Speaker 2: doubt about that. There's distance there between any team and 282 00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:21,160 Speaker 2: the network announcers. But you do develop relationships, you do 283 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:24,920 Speaker 2: use that confidence that I think in the case of 284 00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,200 Speaker 2: Tom Coughlin, he had with us as a group that 285 00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:30,120 Speaker 2: he could open up and share things, and we knew 286 00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:32,120 Speaker 2: things going into that game that we might not have 287 00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:37,880 Speaker 2: known otherwise. So yeah, it's nice to see those stories 288 00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:41,120 Speaker 2: through and then to know that it's New York. I mean, 289 00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:44,280 Speaker 2: my first World Series at Fox was the Yankees in 290 00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:47,760 Speaker 2: the Bronx winning the World Series against the Alanta Braves. 291 00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:53,280 Speaker 2: My second Super Bowl is this Titanic matchup of a 292 00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:57,720 Speaker 2: team with Brady and Belichick and going for perfection and 293 00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:00,640 Speaker 2: Moss and Sayou and the guys that were on that side, 294 00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:03,640 Speaker 2: and then a team from New York and everybody's like, oh, 295 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:07,080 Speaker 2: you hate the Yankees, you hate the Giants, Like it's 296 00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:11,640 Speaker 2: actually the opposite. When you do what I do. You're 297 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:16,520 Speaker 2: dying to get a New York team into whatever world series, 298 00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:19,960 Speaker 2: a Super Bowl, Stanley Cup Final, whatever it is, because 299 00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:23,960 Speaker 2: there's more attention, the numbers are bigger, everybody's happier, and 300 00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:26,840 Speaker 2: you get to be in New York. So it was 301 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:30,320 Speaker 2: it was an unbelievable matchup that was really hard going 302 00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:34,360 Speaker 2: into that Super Bowl to not get intimidated by the platform, 303 00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:36,240 Speaker 2: the size of the audience, which was just under one 304 00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:38,960 Speaker 2: hundred million people, and then those two teams with that 305 00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:40,280 Speaker 2: much history on the line. 306 00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:44,200 Speaker 1: Jose the Giants celebrate their one hundred seasons.
