10
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:36,160
Speaker 1: So our lead this hour is from Denver. The AFC

11
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:40,320
Speaker 1: side early game talked earlier about the Seahawks and the

12
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 1: Rams as Seattle that gets a gift the muffed punt

13
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:47,199
Speaker 1: by the Rams sending Seattle to the Super Bowl. You're welcome.

14
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:51,200
Speaker 1: You're welcome now in Denver, Drake May and the Patriots

15
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 1: entered as the biggest road favorite in the history of

16
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 1: Championship Sunday in the NFL IS. The Broncos were going

17
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 1: with the backup quarterback Jared Stidham. So has never seen

18
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 1: a team favored by more on the road than the

19
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,960
Speaker 1: New England Patriots. The game played in the first half

20
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 1: in good conditions and then by late third quarter it

21
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 1: was a snow globe game. In the third late part

22
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:19,960
Speaker 1: of the third quarter and the fourth quarter. So I

23
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 1: don't know if you saw this or not. It made

24
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 1: for compelling television late in the game. It was not

25
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 1: the most aesthetically pleasing matchup in the world. Maybe not though,

26
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 1: But in the frigid, snow swirling AFC Championship game there

27
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 1: at Mile High, Mike Vrabel coach the Patriots to survive

28
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 1: and advance as they get it done with their defense.

29
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 1: They win a slug fest over the Broncos, where nobody

30
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 1: played well at the quarterback position, although you wouldn't know

31
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 1: that from the media giving tongue bash to Drake May.

32
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: Ten to seven the final ten to seven the final,

33
00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 1: as the Patriots win and advance with the snow building

34
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 1: up as the game progressed in the second half, their

35
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 1: New England getting you tell me their defense in this

36
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 1: particular game. So they're on to Super Bowl sixty where

37
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 1: they will take the Seattle Seahawks on that'll be coming

38
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 1: up a week from this Sunday, so almost two full

39
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 1: weeks to go here as this is early on a Monday.

40
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:23,920
Speaker 1: Drake May did score the Patriots only touchdown, a six

41
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 1: yard scamper. I like the word scamper. You don't use

42
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 1: the word scamper much other than football scamper. Yeah, scampered anyway,

43
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 1: late second quarter there for the Patriots. So that was

44
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 1: the only score of the game in terms of the touchdown.

45
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: The better story is in the losing locker room. A

46
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 1: lot of people up in arms in the post mortem

47
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 1: at Broncos coach Sean Payton, who's getting cooked for his

48
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 1: decision to go for it rather than kick it. And

49
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:53,920
Speaker 1: if you didn't see it, let me set the game up.

50
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 1: So the Broncos got an early touchdown. Lightning struck early,

51
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:00,799
Speaker 1: so the Broncos had a seven nothing lead all the

52
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,279
Speaker 1: way into the second quarter. Was seven to nothing Broncos.

53
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 1: Early in the second quarter, Jared Stidham and the Broncos

54
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 1: offense was they were right there, set up deep in

55
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 1: Patriot territory for a chip shot field goal. It was

56
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,640
Speaker 1: fourth down and Sean Payton said, no, no, no, I'm gonna

57
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 1: go for it. I we should go for it rather

58
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 1: than kick a field goal. Go up by two scores.

59
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 1: He said no, So Peyton deciding to not send out

60
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:29,839
Speaker 1: the field goal unit and send the offense back out

61
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 1: fourth down and won and from the fourteen yard line.

62
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 1: How did that turn out? Yeah, the Broncos rolled out

63
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 1: Jared Stidham on a pass play and he was pressured

64
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 1: and it fell harmlessly incomplete. That's it. That's all. See

65
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 1: you later. Denver did not score again. That was it.

66
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 1: He did not score the rest of the game. Now,

67
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 1: when asked why he didn't just take the points right,

68
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 1: just take the points up by two scores, you've got

69
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 1: your backup quarterback who sucks in the game, Peyton, Well,

70
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 1: he got defensive is what he got. Do we have

71
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 1: the audio? Here's a Sean Payton tike A Lias.

72
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 3: Just felt like, man, we had momentum, momentum, momentum, get

73
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:17,720
Speaker 3: up fourteen and felt like we had a good call

74
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 3: where we at yard line wise there point Yeah, I

75
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:26,160
Speaker 3: think I think the feeling was, man, let's let's be

76
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 3: aggressive to get up fourteen. I was just watching the

77
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 3: way our defense was playing.

78
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, so let us discuss. That's a good

79
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,599
Speaker 1: jumping off point. The question, what is your read on

80
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:43,839
Speaker 1: what you just heard Sean Payton saying the Broncos had momentum, momentum,

81
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 1: The Broncos had momentum to justify his decision to pass

82
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 1: up a chip shot field goal and go up by

83
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,600
Speaker 1: a touchdown and a field goal. So my observations, I

84
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 1: have cross examination, Paris and police, and we will combine

85
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 1: all of these things together. One, two, and three. We're

86
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:04,479
Speaker 1: gonna play Connect three. We're gonna play Connect three. So

87
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 1: number wa number. So when I heard Sean Payton's response,

88
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 1: I knew one word applies here. Buffoonery. Buffoonery. Sean Payton

89
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 1: knows he made the wrong decision. How do I know that?

90
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 1: He said momentum? He said momentum. He doesn't believe that

91
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 1: he knows. That's just get out of Joe free card.

92
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 1: Because stupid people love momentum. Dumb people love momentum. They

93
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 1: can't get enough of it. They want it. Oh, I

94
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 1: need my momentum. It's ridiculous. Sean Payton screwed up. He

95
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 1: did the thing you can't do at the time, you

96
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 1: can't do it, and then he uses the momentum card

97
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,799
Speaker 1: from the bottom of the deck. Momentum is the adult

98
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 1: version of a boogeyman. You know you're a kid. I

99
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:58,040
Speaker 1: can't have the Boogeyman's under my bed, the Boogeyman's in

100
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:02,920
Speaker 1: my closet. If you're an NFL coach. The boogeyman momentum. Oh,

101
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:07,159
Speaker 1: it's momentum. Come on. It only exists, of course, to

102
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 1: help you, help you explain why you made a dumb decision.

103
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:15,599
Speaker 1: In this case, Sean Payton leaned in to momentum on

104
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 1: cross examination. On cross examination, momentum has the structural integrity

105
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 1: of a wet cardboard box, is what it's got. Okay,

106
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:30,119
Speaker 1: playing a backup quarterback who has proven he's no good

107
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,840
Speaker 1: and you got points right there. You already got that

108
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:35,919
Speaker 1: Fluke early touchdown, so you got to touchdown in your

109
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:40,719
Speaker 1: back pocket the field goal. Drake May, I don't even notice.

110
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:45,839
Speaker 1: He was pooping his pants in that game for the Patriots,

111
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:50,359
Speaker 1: So the Broncos defense was man handling Drake May. You

112
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:55,480
Speaker 1: go up by two scores, and you increase the degree

113
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 1: of difficulty for the Patriots offense in that case, and

114
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 1: so chips outfield goal, take the points, And no, I'm

115
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 1: not gonna take the points. Why would I do that?

116
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 3: No?

117
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 1: No, Why would I squeeze the air a little more

118
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 1: air out of the Patriot's sideline and give Drake May

119
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 1: a tighter spinter? If I'm Sean Payton, why would I

120
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 1: do that. No, Instead, Sean Payton trusted his backup suck

121
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 1: back quarterback in Jared Sidham like he was prime Drew Brees.

122
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 1: Did Sean Payton know that that was not prime Drew

123
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 1: Brees while he does now? And shocker of shocker, Jared

124
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 1: Sidham did what Jared Sidam supposed to do. He did

125
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 1: a face plant right there. The moment was too big.

126
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 1: And you toss in the fact that they knew the forecast. Now,

127
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 1: he didn't change. We did Benny versus the Penny in

128
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 1: the middle of the week. The forecast was much different,

129
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 1: and so we did not know at the time we

130
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 1: did that that there would be blizzard like conditions in Denver.

131
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 1: We knew there was a big storm coming across the country,

132
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 1: but not necessarily for the Bronco game. That changed. The

133
00:07:56,600 --> 00:08:00,120
Speaker 1: weather pattern changed, So you know that going in and

134
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 1: what this means Sean Payton guilty of coaching malpractice in

135
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 1: this game. For the Broncos fourth down failure. You had

136
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 1: the clown car fumble. That's a whole different can of worms.

137
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 1: The fumble by stadium. Was it a forward pass? Was

138
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 1: it not a forward pass? That was the twelve yard line,

139
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 1: which gift wrapped things for the Patriots in that case. Now,

140
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 1: most games are lost, not one. That's always the way

141
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 1: it is. It is always the way it will be

142
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 1: as long as human beings are involved. Most games are lost,

143
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 1: they're not one. So there is that in this case,

144
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 1: though it was the pure hubris of Sean Payton. I

145
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:44,839
Speaker 1: don't the circus of the officiating is one thing. Did

146
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:49,560
Speaker 1: anyone think that Gene Sterotare did a good job on that?

147
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 1: By the way, did anyone notice this was like comedy

148
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 1: gold They should do a bit about this. I don't

149
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:57,840
Speaker 1: watch Saturday Night Live anymore. It hadn't been funny in years.

150
00:08:57,880 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 1: But they used to do shows like that and be

151
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:04,200
Speaker 1: a great comedy bit. Because the rules analyst Jeene Sterotor,

152
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,440
Speaker 1: if you were paying attention, So Jeene Sterotor comes on

153
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:10,960
Speaker 1: there and he changed his mind faster than a politician

154
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 1: in an election year. He was like a member of

155
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 1: Congress trying to get reelection, Jeane Sterotor. So initially the

156
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 1: call was forward pass on the field, right, So Jean

157
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:24,319
Speaker 1: Sterrator said, wow, that was the right call. Forward passed

158
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,079
Speaker 1: on the field. They got it right. No wait, no, no,

159
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 1: wait a minute, it was backwards. Yeah, Yeah, Jeane's Sterritor

160
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 1: flip flopped. He did the old flip flop right there.

161
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 1: Amazing flexibility by the rules analysts there, Jeene Sterotor. And

162
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 1: if you haven't learned by now having watched these rules

163
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 1: analysts there, they hate calling out their buddies. Whatever the

164
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 1: call is, they agree with the officials. They do not

165
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 1: want to go against the officials. It's part of the

166
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 1: orthodoxy of the Zebra culture. And so, just for the record,

167
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 1: by the way, Sean Payton, momentum did not infect the

168
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 1: Broncos in this game. That's not They didn't lose the

169
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 1: game because they lost momentum. They lost the game because

170
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 1: you didn't kick the field goal. Oh my god, the arrogance,

171
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 1: the arrogance of Sean Payton. Now, meanwhile, turning the page

172
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 1: to the Patriots side of things, a lot of glowing

173
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 1: words being said about Drake May and the Patriots as

174
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 1: they are in the Super Bowl to take on the

175
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 1: Seahawks Super Bowl sixty from Northern California. So the question is,

176
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 1: how did you grade Drake May's play as the Patriots

177
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 1: have now gone on a Super Bowl run. They've gone

178
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 1: on the Super Bowl run. The Patriots are there one

179
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 1: win away from getting another Lombardi Trophy. So how did

180
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 1: you grade Drake May in this postseason run up until

181
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 1: this point for the new and the Patriots. So May

182
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 1: has been He's not been the pace car Like there's

183
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 1: this idea he's the quarterback, so he's the engine. It's

184
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 1: really not. It's reinly not the engine for the Patriots.

185
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 1: Despite the Patriots success. If you look at the Malor scorecard,

186
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 1: you've got not an A, not a B. I wouldn't

187
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:12,719
Speaker 1: even give Drake May a cee. I wrote down on

188
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:14,959
Speaker 1: my scorecard for Drake May and this playoff run for

189
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:19,680
Speaker 1: the Patriots, I wrote down A you for unremarkable capital

190
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 1: U unremarkable for Drake May. It's working, which is great.

191
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 1: Although they got to get more out of this guy.

192
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 1: They got to get more out of this guy now

193
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 1: seas defense fortunately is overrated. As we saw, the Rams

194
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 1: lit him up, and so Drake May will be. There

195
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:38,200
Speaker 1: will be opportunities as assuming he doesn't suffer from tight

196
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:40,959
Speaker 1: Tuker syndrome in the Super Bowl, to make some plays there.

197
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:43,680
Speaker 1: He has not been the man to lead the way

198
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 1: for the New Land Patriots. Despite what you might have

199
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 1: heard or read online it is not the case, so

200
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 1: I wrote again, unremarkable as the grade for Drake May.

201
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 1: The Patriots offense stuck in wet cement and just kind

202
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 1: of stuck there against Denver for much of the day. Said, well,

203
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 1: the blizzard conditions, that's why it's the weather. Blame it

204
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 1: on the weather, and the snow excuse is a popular excuse.

205
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 1: There's one problem with the snow excuse is that the

206
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 1: weather was fine in the first half of the game,

207
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 1: and Drake May was not fine. In the first half.

208
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 1: May had a passer rating below sixty and the Patriots

209
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 1: offense only had four first downs in the first half.

210
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:28,960
Speaker 1: That was a complete lockdown by the Denver Broncos defensively

211
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:31,840
Speaker 1: in the first half of that game. Patriots had seventy

212
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 1: two yards of offense in the first thirty minutes of

213
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 1: that game with Drake May. Now, May's signature play was

214
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 1: the quarterback keeper. I would argue the twenty eight yard

215
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 1: scamper another way to say the word scramble scamper. But

216
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 1: that turn that turned out to be the winning field goal.

217
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:52,440
Speaker 1: That's set up what was the winning field goal on

218
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 1: that However, you are judged by your full body of work. Here,

219
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 1: and if you look at the overall picture in the playoffs,

220
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:02,599
Speaker 1: this continues a trend. Drake May has been a stumblebum

221
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:07,080
Speaker 1: for the Patriots and it hasn't mattered. It has not mattered.

222
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 1: Here those negative plays, which are normally the telltale sign

223
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:16,439
Speaker 1: for quarterbacks. You combine interceptions in completions, sacks and fumbles,

224
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 1: those are bad plays. Drake May is averaging nineteen bad

225
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 1: plays per game in this playoff run for the Patriots.

226
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 1: Nineteen negative plays per game for Drake May, and they

227
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 1: are one win away from winning the Super Bowl thanks

228
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 1: to playing what we call the Paris Baguette schedule. A

229
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:36,200
Speaker 1: lot of croissants, a lot of croissants. And while Drake

230
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 1: May does not go against the opposition quarterback, it does

231
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 1: help when the opposing quarterback is Justin Herbert or c. J.

232
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 1: Stroud or Jared Stidham, and they stink right, the Drake

233
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 1: May Patriots have scored only fifty four points in this

234
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:54,560
Speaker 1: playoff run. That doesn't sound like a lot, right, that

235
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 1: doesn't sound like that much. Well, didn't you know? Fun

236
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 1: fact here? How bad is that? How bad is that

237
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 1: for the Patriots? Maler fun fact? We are told that

238
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:08,320
Speaker 1: is the fewest points a team has scored playing three

239
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:13,200
Speaker 1: postseason games to make the Super Bowl since Jimmy Carter

240
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 1: was the president. Back in the nineteen seventies, the La

241
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 1: Rams made it in I think it was nineteen seventy nine,

242
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 1: and that's it, so my god. It does help also

243
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 1: that the opposing quarterbacks are averaging twenty over twenty two

244
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 1: negative plays, so they've been even worse than Drake May.

245
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 1: The collective of CJ. Stroud who had thirty negative plays

246
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 1: in that game for the Texan thirty thirty negative players,

247
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 1: Jared Stidham, and of course Herbert. So that's where we

248
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 1: are right now.

249
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 4: Now.

250
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 1: Final point to the postgame commentary from Patriots defensive tecker

251
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 1: tackle Milton Williams. Good old uncle Milt, Milton Williams who

252
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 1: said the thing that we knew was going to be

253
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 1: said postgame Milton Williams, defensive tackle for the New Emland

254
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 1: Patriots postgame team has wanted advance to the Super Bowl.

255
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 1: He said, everybody doubted us. That's what he said. Everybody

256
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 1: doubted us. Does that work for you? Does that work

257
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 1: for you? So it is predictable and silly. At the

258
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 1: same time, the Patriots did not overcome the odds. In fact,

259
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 1: they failed to live up to the standard of the odds.

260
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 1: They were given the New Eland Patriots a police escort

261
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 1: to the promised land of Super Bowl sixty. And there's

262
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 1: no debate over that. This is a generational mister Softy

263
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 1: run for the New England Patriots. Congratulations. I'm jealous. I

264
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 1: am absolutely jealous. It's like it's not really a postseason run.

265
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 1: It's like a massage at the Foxborough day Spa, the

266
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 1: manny and the petty, the bubble bath. Now, what is

267
00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 1: my evidence if you look at the receipts and looking

268
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 1: there the easiest schedule in the league this year and

269
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 1: the easiest schedule in his generation, plus strength of schedule

270
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 1: of the opponent that was during the regular season. This

271
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 1: was not a football obstacle. Course, this was a study

272
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 1: diet of creampuffs and doughnuts and then threw some mcclair's

273
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 1: in there. The whole thing. You played a Charger team

274
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 1: held together by duck tape and a prayer and Justin Turbert,

275
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 1: justin Herbert there who went out there and the moment

276
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 1: was too big. He's a coward. He played cowardly football

277
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 1: for the Chargers.

278
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 2: C J.

279
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 1: Stroud hanging out handing out interception. You get an interception,

280
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 1: you get an interception like that famous TV thing back

281
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 1: in the day with Oprah. And then the AFC Championship

282
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 1: game where Sean Payton decides that his quarterback is good

283
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 1: rather than kick a field goal and go up by

284
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 1: two scores. And then in the second half the blizzard

285
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 1: kicked in. So that's a couple of gifts from the

286
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 1: heavens for the Patriots that went their way. New England

287
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 1: is averaging eighteen points per game. The last time a

288
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 1: team was this bad was the Rams nineteen seventy nine.

289
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 1: La Rams. It's almost fifty years ago. Almost fifty years ago,

290
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:14,720
Speaker 1: so enjoy the flight out to the Bay Area there.

291
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 1: And I don't want to hear about the doubters. Though

292
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 1: you were the biggest favorite, you didn't cover the spread

293
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:24,159
Speaker 1: against a backup quarterback in a blizzard, and you couldn't

294
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 1: cover the spread there, So no style points for the

295
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:27,920
Speaker 1: Patriots at all. Be sure to catch.

310
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:12,119
Speaker 1: get back to the championship Sunday in the NFL. The

311
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:14,879
Speaker 1: Super Bowl is now set the Seahawks and the Patriots

312
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:17,280
Speaker 1: in Super Bowl sixty. But we head to Western Pa.

313
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 1: Some news over the weekend that got our attention. The

314
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 1: Yinsurs have found their man. Did you see this? Yeah,

315
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 1: maybe you missed it, Perhaps you did not hear the news.

316
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:31,200
Speaker 1: But over the weekend, the Steelers announced they have agreed

317
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:38,480
Speaker 1: to terms on a coaching contract with Mike McCarthy. Mike

318
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:41,160
Speaker 1: McCarthy is going to be the new coach. He replaces

319
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin as the coach in Pittsburgh. The former Packer

320
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 1: and cowboy head coach gets the coveted gig that has

321
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:52,719
Speaker 1: lifetime tenured professor employment, and he's got it. Now. The

322
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 1: reaction has been overwhelmingly negative, like what the hell have

323
00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:02,240
Speaker 1: you done, you country bumpkins in Pittsburgh. Well, Art Rooney,

324
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 1: the second was having none of that. Art Rooney talking

325
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 1: about winning the genetic lottery. Now he runs the Pittsburgh Steelers.

326
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 1: So Art Runey, the second Steelers president, said, of the

327
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy hire, he said, quote the message to our

328
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 1: fans is we're very excited, folls.

329
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:19,399
Speaker 2: Quote.

330
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:22,600
Speaker 1: So that's a good jumping off point. Let us discuss

331
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 1: the question Art Rooney, the guy running the Steelers. Art

332
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 1: Rooney says, the message after the coaching hires, we're very excited.

333
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:36,960
Speaker 1: What is your word? What is your word for the

334
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 1: Steelers deciding to go with Mike McCarthy as the coach

335
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:44,959
Speaker 1: there in Pittsburgh. So I've got tupperware, Star Wars, and

336
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 1: Rattlesnake King, and we will combine all of these things

337
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:53,400
Speaker 1: together and we are going to make a spicy meatball.

338
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 1: This is what we're going to make a nice spicy meatball.

339
00:19:55,800 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 1: All right. So, first of all, the word for Mike McCarty, Dorothy.

340
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:03,360
Speaker 1: The word for Mike McCarthy being hired as the Steelers

341
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:08,399
Speaker 1: coach is sedative. Why why is that the word? The

342
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 1: word is because you're putting people to sleep, You're putting

343
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 1: your fan base to sleep. You make a coaching now,

344
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:17,159
Speaker 1: you don't always, it doesn't necessarily always matter whether you

345
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 1: win the coaching higher or not. This is the least

346
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 1: imaginative coaching higher. When I heard the rumors that McCarthy

347
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:28,160
Speaker 1: was the favorite for the Steelers job, I thought, well,

348
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:32,199
Speaker 1: that was planted by his agent. Why would Mike McCarthy

349
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:34,879
Speaker 1: be the favorite for the Steelers job. It makes no sense.

350
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:37,679
Speaker 1: It makes no sense. You got rid of Tomlin, you

351
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 1: got a chance to bring in a fresh breath of air.

352
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:43,639
Speaker 1: And Pittsburgh decides that, you know what we want, comfort food.

353
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 1: That's what we want. We want comfort food. And so

354
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:48,440
Speaker 1: we're going to go to the back of the fridge.

355
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:51,920
Speaker 1: They started digging around. They were futting around the Steelers

356
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:54,159
Speaker 1: in the back of the fridge. They grabbed the tupperware

357
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:56,440
Speaker 1: with the blue top, not the white top, the blue top.

358
00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:59,120
Speaker 1: They grabbed the tupperware, the blue top, and then they

359
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:01,359
Speaker 1: open it up and it was it was meat loaf.

360
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:03,240
Speaker 1: And then they said, well, well reheat the meat loaf.

361
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 1: And that's what they did, Well, reheat the meat loaf,

362
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:09,480
Speaker 1: and they hired this guy. Same taste, little dryer, The

363
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:12,040
Speaker 1: edges are a little dryer on the meat loaf. And

364
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:16,120
Speaker 1: you just didn't aim high. You didn't aim high. You

365
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 1: aimed for familiar is what you aim for, and that

366
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:22,479
Speaker 1: is fear. The word I will use is buzzkill. This

367
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 1: is a buzzkill is another word I always because this

368
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 1: is listen. This is Mike Tomlin was there forever right,

369
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:31,479
Speaker 1: almost twenty years Mike Tomlins coaching, the steels and all

370
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 1: that stuff. You're essentially getting Mike Tomlin without the juice.

371
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:42,639
Speaker 1: Where's the juice? No juice. You're getting cliches, not as

372
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:48,359
Speaker 1: many quotable lines, a lot of standard coach speak from

373
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:53,159
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy. And it's the store brand version, is what

374
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:56,200
Speaker 1: it is. You're getting the store brand version, generic brand.

375
00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:58,920
Speaker 1: The box is ripped a little bit. That's your new coach.

376
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 1: And this is the Steelers essentially telling their customers, their

377
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:07,080
Speaker 1: fan base that we don't want to be great, we

378
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 1: want to be fine. We want to be fine. And

379
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:13,639
Speaker 1: every other time the Steelers have hired coaches for the

380
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:18,160
Speaker 1: past sixty years, they've always gone with the new, up

381
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:22,119
Speaker 1: and coming coach, the next big thing. Not this time.

382
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 1: This different than all other coaching hires, not that there

383
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:29,159
Speaker 1: have been many for the Pittsburgh Steelers. And it's like,

384
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 1: you didn't really replace Tomlin. You photo copied Tomlin. And

385
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:36,679
Speaker 1: I know they don't like look exactly alike, but the

386
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:41,119
Speaker 1: way that they approach things good regular season teams, teams

387
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:44,960
Speaker 1: that often underachieve in the playoffs. That's the pedigree of

388
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 1: a Mike Tomlin coach team. And as much as I

389
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:51,920
Speaker 1: love Mike Tomlin, Mike Tomlin's teams often were the same way.

390
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 1: They overachieve in the regular season, and then when the

391
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:58,720
Speaker 1: playoffs came around, they would be exposed. And that was that.

392
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 1: And so Pittsburgh used to be steel Boots, lunch, Paale,

393
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:11,320
Speaker 1: the whole thing, bloody knuckles, and now this just reeks

394
00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 1: of crocs and sweatpants and desperation and the whole thing.

395
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 1: And McCarthy is leftover, as we know that, Mike McCarthy.

396
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:23,639
Speaker 1: And it's like it's okay. The Steelers are not going

397
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:26,639
Speaker 1: to likely fall off the map with Mike McCarthy, and

398
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:31,439
Speaker 1: he just doesn't excite the electorate. The electorate at the

399
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:34,959
Speaker 1: convention does not get excited about this. And this is

400
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:38,359
Speaker 1: not some kind of reboot to reinvent the Steeler franchise

401
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 1: going forward. It's a screensaver, is what it is. Like, Well,

402
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 1: we're going to change the screensaver instead of Mike Tomlins photo,

403
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 1: We're gonna put Mike McCarthy up there now. Secondly, keeping

404
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:50,200
Speaker 1: the theme of the hour, we'll get back to the

405
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:53,880
Speaker 1: championship games now the super Bowl on tap Seattle and

406
00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:58,440
Speaker 1: New England. With the question, what is the lesson to

407
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 1: voisterous Steeler fans who are up in arms, up in

408
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:08,359
Speaker 1: arms over Mike McCarthy replacing Mike Tomlin in Pittsburgh, And

409
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:11,920
Speaker 1: we have something. I took a lot of crap from Spaccoli,

410
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:15,960
Speaker 1: who's a Steeler apologies because he hated Tomlin. He loathed

411
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:19,280
Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin. And I laugh at guys like Spaccoli, and

412
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:21,399
Speaker 1: I laugh at the other Steeler fans that were so

413
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:24,520
Speaker 1: ready to run Mike Tomlin out of town. This is

414
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:28,240
Speaker 1: a teachable moment. Be careful what you asked for, Be

415
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:32,160
Speaker 1: careful what you wish for. Steeler fan, congratulate you chased

416
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:35,440
Speaker 1: Tomlin out. Congratulations you chase chased him out of Dodge

417
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:39,440
Speaker 1: to hire Mike Tomlin. I say, Mike Tomlin light. He's

418
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 1: obviously a lot heavier than Mike Tomlin and Mike McCarthy.

419
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 1: So how's that taste? How's that taste? Well, you're got

420
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:53,639
Speaker 1: the same combo meal, except it's been shrinked, the shrink flation,

421
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 1: if you will. So you got the same combo miller

422
00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 1: as Truer fries in there, and it's the sequel that

423
00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:03,919
Speaker 1: nobody asked for, the same plot, fewer zingers, none of

424
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 1: the iconic soundbites that Mike Tomlin provided us. And the

425
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 1: big takeaway from this is that Mike McCarthy has to

426
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 1: be this era of the NFL's greatest interviewer in modern

427
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:20,679
Speaker 1: NFL history for a guy that hasn't done all that

428
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:23,679
Speaker 1: much considering the talent that he was given as a coach.

429
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:27,879
Speaker 1: When you look at Mike Tomlin, he sounds like a

430
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:30,360
Speaker 1: meathead when we hear him talk to the media, does

431
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:32,480
Speaker 1: not sound like the most intelligent man in the world.

432
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:36,119
Speaker 1: And Yet he gets into those meeting rooms with executives

433
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 1: and owners and he is all of a sudden, mister Simpotoco.

434
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:45,720
Speaker 1: He's mister Simpotoco when he talks to ownership. He must

435
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:48,360
Speaker 1: be a big Star Wars guy. Must be a big

436
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 1: Star Wars guy using Jedi mind tricks to convince these

437
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:55,400
Speaker 1: NFL owners to give him the job. McCarthy hypnotized Green

438
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 1: Bay got the job, lasted a long time. Jerry Jones

439
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 1: in Dallas gave McCarthy the gig, and now the Rooney

440
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:05,959
Speaker 1: family said, here, come on down, the price is right.

441
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:07,960
Speaker 1: We want you to coach a team. Those are three

442
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:13,040
Speaker 1: iconic brands with national fan bases in the NFL. What

443
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:16,159
Speaker 1: exactly is the sales pitch? I would love to know

444
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 1: what the sales pitch is. It's like, don't ask regular

445
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:27,200
Speaker 1: season wins, then Boom goes to Dynamite, Abracadabra playoffs, crash landing.

446
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:32,520
Speaker 1: So the Steelers it's like discarding your iPhone seventeen Pro

447
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:36,760
Speaker 1: Max and so I'm going to take an iPhone four S. Well,

448
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:38,960
Speaker 1: you know you had a better phone than that, but

449
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:42,040
Speaker 1: I want the iPhone four S. It's a classic, but

450
00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 1: you don't need that you have the newest iPhone, but

451
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:46,200
Speaker 1: I want the old one. I want the old Okay,

452
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 1: we'll bring in the old one. This hire is a

453
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:52,919
Speaker 1: referendum also on how much this younger group of coaches

454
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:57,160
Speaker 1: must blow the so called young up and coming generation

455
00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:00,040
Speaker 1: of coaches that they must have no spark. No, you

456
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:02,640
Speaker 1: supposed to be terrible at interviewing. You think that one

457
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:04,480
Speaker 1: of those guys would have stood out where the Rooney

458
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 1: family would have hired him. And the Steelers they're like, no,

459
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:12,200
Speaker 1: we want Dolesville. We're gonna sign up for Dolesville. Uh.

460
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 1: And the Steelers know that they hired a coach who's

461
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:17,200
Speaker 1: not popular and this is not something where they won

462
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:20,000
Speaker 1: the news conference. What is my evidence here, Well, my

463
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 1: evidence is they buried the lead. Don't bury the lead,

464
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:26,439
Speaker 1: ma man. They buried the lead. They announced it on

465
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:30,439
Speaker 1: a Saturday before Championship Sunday in the NFL. That is

466
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:33,879
Speaker 1: the walk of shame. That is the walk of shame

467
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:36,680
Speaker 1: for the Pittsburgh Steelers. They hoped, they hoped that nobody

468
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:39,399
Speaker 1: would notice. We're gonna send this out. Well, you're busy

469
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:41,959
Speaker 1: doing your stuff. You're out shopping for that extra thing

470
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:44,320
Speaker 1: of water. Because of the blizzard. Whatever you're doing, We're

471
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:47,880
Speaker 1: we're gonna just drop this year. Well you're not paying

472
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:52,160
Speaker 1: attention and yp beat kaye. They hired a local guy,

473
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:54,480
Speaker 1: that's the selling point. You hired a guy who's a

474
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:59,200
Speaker 1: pittsburgher way to go, congratulations. He can wipe his ass

475
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:02,000
Speaker 1: with a terrible towel. That's wonderful. And of course the

476
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:04,760
Speaker 1: argument is you could have hired a person I don't

477
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 1: care from mat a gas car. It doesn't matter where

478
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:09,480
Speaker 1: the coach is if they win. This is not some

479
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 1: kind of geographical contest. We're not working with geography here.

480
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:19,200
Speaker 1: It's about wins and losses, wins and blankety blank losses

481
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 1: and the Steelers. This just screams of safe, a little

482
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:28,440
Speaker 1: scared to try the unknown, not impressed with the unknown,

483
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:34,760
Speaker 1: and stale, stale, melt toast, melt toast. The McCarthy higher

484
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:38,400
Speaker 1: for him to get a third opportunity with the Glamour franchise.

485
00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:40,959
Speaker 1: Normally you get one or two chances with the Glamor franchise,

486
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 1: then you go to Jacksonville or the Browns or somewhere

487
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:46,440
Speaker 1: like that. All right, now, final thought, So the Mike

488
00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:50,240
Speaker 1: McCarthy Steelers, how weird is that the Mike McCarthy Steelers,

489
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:53,520
Speaker 1: that this is the new era here for Mike McCarthy.

490
00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 1: They need a quarterback. Aaron Rodgers is free to roam

491
00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:00,520
Speaker 1: around the NFL and he's not locked in as the

492
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 1: quarterback there in Pittsburgh. So they don't really have anybody.

493
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:09,360
Speaker 1: It's an empty barstool. So let's activate the Malard think tank.

494
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:14,040
Speaker 1: The question who plays quarterback for the Mike McCarthy twenty

495
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 1: twenty six Pittsburgh Steelers. Now, if you base this on

496
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 1: public perception, it is the band is reunited again, that

497
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy is going to bring back his bff Aaron Rogers.

498
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 1: Although we had heard there was some tension in the

499
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:33,680
Speaker 1: Green Bay days with Aaron Rodgers and Mike McCarthy, but

500
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:35,920
Speaker 1: that's the early rumor. You bring back the old war

501
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 1: horse who showed that he couldn't play at a high

502
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:40,520
Speaker 1: level in the playoffs, so of course you bring him back.

503
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 1: You slap some duct tape on and some get some

504
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:47,400
Speaker 1: like Elmer's glue on that and make sure that the

505
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:51,240
Speaker 1: Achilles is working, and you hope the engine turns over

506
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:53,360
Speaker 1: and the cold weather and just go with It's go

507
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:56,720
Speaker 1: with Aaron Rodgers. That's it. That's not a plan. That's

508
00:29:56,760 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 1: like triple A roadside assistance. It's like, can I get

509
00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:02,920
Speaker 1: a tow truck? Yes, we'll get your tow truck right there?

510
00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:03,240
Speaker 1: Why not?

511
00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:03,760
Speaker 4: What the hell?

512
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:08,760
Speaker 1: And then you've also got the transfer portal crowd. He said, well,

513
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:11,720
Speaker 1: what about Kyler Murray? What about? What about? What about?

514
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 1: What about? What about? What about? What about?

515
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:13,600
Speaker 2: Is them?

516
00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:15,600
Speaker 1: What about Kyler Murray? What about a tongue of by

517
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:19,440
Speaker 1: law quarterbacks that absolutely turn into popsicles in cold weather?

518
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:21,720
Speaker 1: That makes sense for an outdoor cold weather team to

519
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:24,520
Speaker 1: bring in Kyler Murray. Now, if I was starting a

520
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:27,120
Speaker 1: video game team, I would bring in Kyler Murray because, man,

521
00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:30,680
Speaker 1: is he a great gamer? And Tua, he's so honest,

522
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:33,800
Speaker 1: he can't tell a lie. He also can't complete passes

523
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:36,960
Speaker 1: in big spots, which is a problem. So they've got

524
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:39,880
Speaker 1: those guys have more baggage than the Pittsburgh International Airport

525
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:42,880
Speaker 1: around the holidays. There's just nothing going on now. So

526
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:46,800
Speaker 1: you're not buying new, You're not buying new. If you're

527
00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:50,000
Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin, you're buying refurbished. If you're bringing those guys,

528
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 1: good luck on that. And so Meanwhile, here's the move

529
00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 1: that not many are mentioning, which you've got to believe

530
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:02,200
Speaker 1: is com to plate it here. A few people want

531
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:06,200
Speaker 1: to say it out loud. If you're Jerry Jones, I

532
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:08,280
Speaker 1: know we're talking about the Steelers, But if you're Jerry Jones,

533
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 1: don't you try to tempt Mike McCarthy Like serving him

534
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:16,760
Speaker 1: a deep dish Chicago pizza is very tempting. You say, hey, Mike,

535
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:19,760
Speaker 1: you don't have a quarterback that's any good. We got

536
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:22,880
Speaker 1: a guy we'd like to unload. He's a stiff, but

537
00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:27,240
Speaker 1: you could sell him to your fans. Dak Prescott, who

538
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 1: says no, right, Jerry Jones should take advantage of this

539
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:36,320
Speaker 1: opportunity and do some cosplay as the Rattlesnake King and

540
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:42,120
Speaker 1: try to ship Dak Prescott off to Pittsburgh. Yeah, there

541
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:45,800
Speaker 1: you go. I learned about the rattlesnake King years ago.

542
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:48,800
Speaker 1: The rattlesnake King is the term snake oil. There was

543
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:50,200
Speaker 1: a guy that would go around and say that your

544
00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:55,760
Speaker 1: joints could heal because of the snake oil, and was

545
00:31:55,800 --> 00:32:00,560
Speaker 1: the group of traveling salespeople. But the one inarticular that

546
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:03,280
Speaker 1: was involved was the rattlesnake king, and he sold the

547
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:06,480
Speaker 1: snake oil traveling from town to town to town. So

548
00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:08,800
Speaker 1: if I'm Jerry Jones, I do that. You're not winning

549
00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:11,440
Speaker 1: anything with Dak Prescott. Every man, woman and child knows that.

550
00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:14,000
Speaker 1: So get rid of his ass and then you can

551
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:15,520
Speaker 1: go out and get somebody else. And you're really not

552
00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:18,760
Speaker 1: gonna lose that much because Dak Prescott has a he

553
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:22,240
Speaker 1: has a pre existing condition where he poops the bed

554
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:26,920
Speaker 1: in big spots and the cowboys. With Dak Prescott, the

555
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 1: cowboys are like a treadmill, a lot of noise, a

556
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 1: little bit of sweat, and you're still in the same

557
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 1: damn spot with Dak Prescott.
