It'll be a little busy. 19 00:01:20,668 --> 00:01:23,188 Speaker 1: You're probably a little slow or even on a slow 20 00:01:23,228 --> 00:01:26,068 Speaker 1: camera shot.

Mike Giardi and Omar Ruiz there all 25 00:01:36,708 --> 00:01:39,508 Speaker 1: week for us. Omar, we'll start with you today. You're 26 00:01:39,508 --> 00:01:41,868 Speaker 1: in Phoenix with the Eagles. Mike, you're in scott Still 27 00:01:42,068 --> 00:01:44,068 Speaker 1: with the Chiefs. Actually, let's whip it around, Michael, start 28 00:01:44,068 --> 00:01:46,388 Speaker 1: with you. Kansas City has dealt with its share of 29 00:01:46,468 --> 00:01:50,308 Speaker 1: recent injuries. How healthy are the Chiefs at this moment? 30 00:01:52,348 --> 00:01:55,308 Speaker 1: They got some good news last night at the media 31 00:01:55,428 --> 00:01:58,148 Speaker 1: night where we heard from Ladarius Snead, who left the 32 00:01:58,228 --> 00:02:00,628 Speaker 1: game early in the AFC Title Game with a concussion. 33 00:02:00,628 --> 00:02:03,148 Speaker 1: He said he's cleared concussion protocol and he's a really 34 00:02:03,188 --> 00:02:05,828 Speaker 1: important piece for them. Is u spec nold'sood When he 35 00:02:05,868 --> 00:02:07,508 Speaker 1: went down in that game, he said, there were some 36 00:02:07,548 --> 00:02:09,308 Speaker 1: things that we wanted to do defensive lead that we 37 00:02:09,348 --> 00:02:11,548 Speaker 1: could no longer do. So he is on the path 38 00:02:11,548 --> 00:02:14,788 Speaker 1: to playing in the game Sunday. Kadarius Tony maybe Peter 39 00:02:14,828 --> 00:02:18,108 Speaker 1: Schreger's MVP. He said, that ankle is fine, He's definitely 40 00:02:18,148 --> 00:02:19,748 Speaker 1: going to be playing in the game. And then there's 41 00:02:20,108 --> 00:02:23,308 Speaker 1: there's one other one. Oh, Patrick Mahomes. That guy, right, 42 00:02:23,348 --> 00:02:25,708 Speaker 1: he said, The ankles feeling better than it did at 43 00:02:25,748 --> 00:02:27,388 Speaker 1: this point last week, he said. Of course, you never 44 00:02:27,428 --> 00:02:28,948 Speaker 1: know until you get into the game, he said, but 45 00:02:28,988 --> 00:02:31,468 Speaker 1: he's feeling pretty good about the progress that he's made 46 00:02:31,588 --> 00:02:33,348 Speaker 1: and they'll continue to do treatment on it all week 47 00:02:33,388 --> 00:02:35,468 Speaker 1: to get him as right as he possibly can be 48 00:02:35,508 --> 00:02:37,508 Speaker 1: for the game. And I'll just take you to the 49 00:02:37,548 --> 00:02:40,628 Speaker 1: other side. Darius Lay was talking about Mahomes last night 50 00:02:40,668 --> 00:02:43,108 Speaker 1: and he said that dude is a dog, and I 51 00:02:43,148 --> 00:02:46,828 Speaker 1: think that's the Dawg reference to dog. He said. The 52 00:02:46,868 --> 00:02:48,988 Speaker 1: way he played in that game, the AFC title game, 53 00:02:48,988 --> 00:02:52,068 Speaker 1: with that ankle, he said, incredibly impressive. He's super talented, 54 00:02:52,508 --> 00:02:54,268 Speaker 1: but that just shows you the mental toughness that he 55 00:02:54,308 --> 00:02:55,908 Speaker 1: has to be able to do that and do it 56 00:02:55,908 --> 00:03:02,548 Speaker 1: at such a high level. Dog Dawg. Mike gotta explain 57 00:03:02,668 --> 00:03:06,148 Speaker 1: that out now. Open night. It just looked like a blast. 58 00:03:06,228 --> 00:03:09,228 Speaker 1: Everyone had been fun, answering questions and doing it to 59 00:03:09,268 --> 00:03:11,588 Speaker 1: the best of their ability. What was the vibe like 60 00:03:11,788 --> 00:03:15,148 Speaker 1: last night. Yeah, it was a lot of fun. You 61 00:03:15,188 --> 00:03:18,308 Speaker 1: had a guy that was no shirt, had the barrel on, 62 00:03:18,388 --> 00:03:20,548 Speaker 1: looked like he was ready to go over in Niagara Falls. 63 00:03:20,548 --> 00:03:23,828 Speaker 1: He had some people asking the players to pin the 64 00:03:23,908 --> 00:03:26,708 Speaker 1: tail on the donkey. Jordan my lot, of course had 65 00:03:26,708 --> 00:03:29,988 Speaker 1: the huge international contingent and one of my favorite parts 66 00:03:29,988 --> 00:03:32,508 Speaker 1: about the opening nights you get to see the personalities 67 00:03:32,548 --> 00:03:36,148 Speaker 1: and the different depths to these players, and no case 68 00:03:36,228 --> 00:03:40,068 Speaker 1: further than Juju Smith Schuster who was getting bombarded by 69 00:03:40,068 --> 00:03:43,548 Speaker 1: a bunch of TikTokers and these people all these questions 70 00:03:43,628 --> 00:03:46,228 Speaker 1: about that who he's gonna TikTok with they win the 71 00:03:46,268 --> 00:03:49,068 Speaker 1: Super Bowl? Can he guarantee that he'd get Andy Reid 72 00:03:49,108 --> 00:03:50,948 Speaker 1: to go on his TikTok? And then I came in 73 00:03:50,988 --> 00:03:53,348 Speaker 1: and asked him about his chemistry with Patrick Mahomes, and 74 00:03:53,388 --> 00:03:56,148 Speaker 1: he talked about in the OTAs and minicamp and all 75 00:03:56,148 --> 00:03:58,508 Speaker 1: that stuff, and then back to you know, him having 76 00:03:58,508 --> 00:04:00,868 Speaker 1: fun and people asking about what his ideal Super Bowl 77 00:04:01,028 --> 00:04:03,228 Speaker 1: halftime show would be. So you know, of course, we 78 00:04:03,268 --> 00:04:06,228 Speaker 1: saw the Kelsey brothers their mom getting interviewed by Michael 79 00:04:06,268 --> 00:04:08,828 Speaker 1: Irvan on stage. They're gonna have fun this week so 80 00:04:08,988 --> 00:04:11,268 Speaker 1: a lot of fun seeing all the different personalities, all 81 00:04:11,308 --> 00:04:14,268 Speaker 1: the different questions, the chaos that opening night is. It 82 00:04:14,308 --> 00:04:16,868 Speaker 1: was good to be back after not having it for 83 00:04:16,988 --> 00:04:20,468 Speaker 1: a few years. So celebration of football on the international 84 00:04:20,508 --> 00:04:23,628 Speaker 1: stage last night. Yeah, oh more, that's a good way 85 00:04:23,668 --> 00:04:27,068 Speaker 1: to explain it. Opening night, beautiful chaos, and that's just 86 00:04:27,108 --> 00:04:30,308 Speaker 1: the beginning. That's the thing about Super Bowl Opening Night. Gentlemen. 87 00:04:30,348 --> 00:04:32,828 Speaker 1: We appreciate you. We'll talk to you plumpting more this 88 00:04:32,908 --> 00:04:35,388 Speaker 1: morning as you keep us updated on both fronts. We 89 00:04:35,388 --> 00:04:38,428 Speaker 1: appreciate it. So super Bowl Opening Night, you mention, saw 90 00:04:38,428 --> 00:04:41,348 Speaker 1: the Chiefs and the Eagles offer an oasis of the 91 00:04:41,428 --> 00:04:45,028 Speaker 1: NFL's best in the Arizona Desert. Media from around the 92 00:04:45,068 --> 00:04:48,508 Speaker 1: globe met with players. Here's a little taste of what 93 00:04:48,628 --> 00:04:53,668 Speaker 1: went down. Andy Reid has the best impression of my voice. 94 00:04:54,388 --> 00:04:56,028 Speaker 1: He doesn't do it in front of a lot of people, 95 00:04:56,268 --> 00:04:58,748 Speaker 1: thanks thankfully. But Andy Reid for sure has the best 96 00:04:58,748 --> 00:05:01,868 Speaker 1: impression of my voice. Yeah, you've got to let the 97 00:05:01,948 --> 00:05:04,588 Speaker 1: voice crack just a little bit. But he's got a want. 98 00:05:04,708 --> 00:05:07,788 Speaker 1: You know, that's a unique voice he has. That's what 99 00:05:07,868 --> 00:05:10,628 Speaker 1: you want, you know, you want your fans to love it. 100 00:05:10,708 --> 00:05:12,508 Speaker 1: You want your fans to be there. You want them 101 00:05:12,508 --> 00:05:14,228 Speaker 1: to be wearing green on Friday. You want them to 102 00:05:14,268 --> 00:05:16,388 Speaker 1: be wearing green on Saturday. You want them to be 103 00:05:16,868 --> 00:05:20,828 Speaker 1: throwing snowballs at saying o'clock. You want that. I could 104 00:05:20,828 --> 00:05:25,148 Speaker 1: be a coach um. I mean obviously my dad, but 105 00:05:25,548 --> 00:05:28,828 Speaker 1: I would probably be like a professional crawfish cooker like 106 00:05:29,628 --> 00:05:34,228 Speaker 1: Jess got the best crawfish of him. I'm a fat boy. 107 00:05:34,268 --> 00:05:38,228 Speaker 1: I love barbecues. Cheese steaks aren't really good, though, so 108 00:05:39,308 --> 00:05:42,148 Speaker 1: don't quote me on that. Honestly, man, I heard some 109 00:05:42,228 --> 00:05:46,268 Speaker 1: mixed rumors about Phillies and Philly cheese steaks. I think, honestly, 110 00:05:46,308 --> 00:05:48,828 Speaker 1: I think the best the best Philly cheese steaks are 111 00:05:48,868 --> 00:05:54,828 Speaker 1: not in Philly, to be honest, those are fighting words. 112 00:05:55,188 --> 00:05:58,428 Speaker 1: Those are fighting words. Also, cy Andy Reid on TikTok, 113 00:05:58,508 --> 00:06:00,628 Speaker 1: get that Omar was just referencing. That would be huge 114 00:06:01,068 --> 00:06:03,748 Speaker 1: things that come out of a night he's past a 115 00:06:03,748 --> 00:06:06,308 Speaker 1: few days last week. They've been a true celebration of 116 00:06:06,348 --> 00:06:08,668 Speaker 1: football in the NFL season. You're the Pro Bowl games 117 00:06:08,708 --> 00:06:11,948 Speaker 1: in Vegas leading right into a star studded event at 118 00:06:11,988 --> 00:06:14,708 Speaker 1: Super Bowl Opening night. But we talked about this yesterday. 119 00:06:14,788 --> 00:06:16,748 Speaker 1: We had to predict who we thought would kind of 120 00:06:16,788 --> 00:06:18,628 Speaker 1: be a headline, would lead the show TheMark. So now 121 00:06:18,668 --> 00:06:20,988 Speaker 1: we've done it, we've experienced Opening Night, Jason, who won 122 00:06:21,028 --> 00:06:23,388 Speaker 1: the evening for you? It was entertaining from me. It's 123 00:06:23,428 --> 00:06:26,348 Speaker 1: probably the first time I've sat down and watched Opening 124 00:06:26,468 --> 00:06:28,508 Speaker 1: Night of the part of it one time and every 125 00:06:28,508 --> 00:06:30,588 Speaker 1: other time you're kind of salty, you're not in the game, 126 00:06:30,628 --> 00:06:33,068 Speaker 1: and you don't really want to watch everybody talking about it. 127 00:06:33,508 --> 00:06:35,468 Speaker 1: But last night I got a chance to really take 128 00:06:35,548 --> 00:06:38,268 Speaker 1: in and listen to the two quarterbacks. And I know 129 00:06:38,388 --> 00:06:41,468 Speaker 1: the storyline going into this Super Bowl. Everybody's talked about it. 130 00:06:41,668 --> 00:06:44,388 Speaker 1: The first time in the NFL two black quarterbacks will 131 00:06:44,468 --> 00:06:47,828 Speaker 1: face all in the Super Bowl, and I do believe representation. 132 00:06:48,148 --> 00:06:51,628 Speaker 1: Representation is key. So seeing these two guys up on 133 00:06:51,748 --> 00:06:53,988 Speaker 1: stage together, it's not only the fact that there are 134 00:06:53,988 --> 00:06:56,268 Speaker 1: two black quarterbacks playing in the game, but it's what 135 00:06:56,348 --> 00:06:59,788 Speaker 1: they represent, four young black kids watching them on this 136 00:06:59,908 --> 00:07:03,068 Speaker 1: centered stage, how they conduct themselves, the words that they 137 00:07:03,228 --> 00:07:06,308 Speaker 1: use when they're talking about their own journeys. Listening to 138 00:07:06,428 --> 00:07:09,428 Speaker 1: Jail and Hurts talk about, Hey, I'm adamant about not 139 00:07:09,508 --> 00:07:12,468 Speaker 1: giving myself a ceiling. I'm continuing to grow. He said. 140 00:07:12,468 --> 00:07:15,308 Speaker 1: People always want to talk to you about your arrival moment. 141 00:07:15,468 --> 00:07:17,548 Speaker 1: He said, you never arrived. It's all just a part 142 00:07:17,588 --> 00:07:20,468 Speaker 1: of the journey. Watching Patrick Mahomes talk to a little 143 00:07:20,508 --> 00:07:23,108 Speaker 1: girl and give her advice, telling her to chase her 144 00:07:23,188 --> 00:07:25,468 Speaker 1: dreams and say, hey, it's not where you starts where 145 00:07:25,468 --> 00:07:28,548 Speaker 1: you finish. That to me was a huge moment. These 146 00:07:28,588 --> 00:07:30,748 Speaker 1: guys on stage, and you think about the quarterbacks that 147 00:07:30,788 --> 00:07:33,628 Speaker 1: have come before him that are watching, the Marlin Briscol's, 148 00:07:33,748 --> 00:07:39,788 Speaker 1: the Warren Moons, the Doug Williams, Shaq Harris's, these guys 149 00:07:40,028 --> 00:07:42,588 Speaker 1: that have laid the foundation for them now to be 150 00:07:42,628 --> 00:07:45,788 Speaker 1: able to be on this stage going against one another 151 00:07:45,908 --> 00:07:48,428 Speaker 1: in a Super Bowl. What they represent for their teams 152 00:07:48,508 --> 00:07:51,788 Speaker 1: and their cities was just incredible to me. And those 153 00:07:51,788 --> 00:07:53,908 Speaker 1: guys are sitting there and while they're on center stage, 154 00:07:53,908 --> 00:07:56,468 Speaker 1: everybody else is talking and they have like a sidebar 155 00:07:56,548 --> 00:07:59,188 Speaker 1: conversation going on, And as I'm watching it, I'm like, 156 00:07:59,228 --> 00:08:01,708 Speaker 1: this is just awesome. This is where football is, and 157 00:08:01,748 --> 00:08:03,988 Speaker 1: this is where the first Super Bowl many years ago, 158 00:08:04,068 --> 00:08:06,788 Speaker 1: nineteen sixty seven to now where we are in two 159 00:08:07,028 --> 00:08:08,788 Speaker 1: and twenty three. It's taken a while, but we have 160 00:08:08,828 --> 00:08:12,188 Speaker 1: two Black quarterbacks. It's awesome. It's awesome, and the names 161 00:08:12,188 --> 00:08:14,868 Speaker 1: and the personalities are very likable. And I found myself 162 00:08:14,868 --> 00:08:17,028 Speaker 1: any time, even if I've heard a lot of Jalen 163 00:08:17,108 --> 00:08:18,908 Speaker 1: Hurts or a lot of homes or the last couple weeks, 164 00:08:18,908 --> 00:08:20,748 Speaker 1: like I wanted to stop and listen to exactly what 165 00:08:20,748 --> 00:08:22,388 Speaker 1: they're saying. It feels like they always have something good 166 00:08:22,428 --> 00:08:25,828 Speaker 1: to say. Andy read a very likable personality. I feel 167 00:08:25,828 --> 00:08:28,068 Speaker 1: like the judgments still out on Nick Sirianni a little 168 00:08:28,108 --> 00:08:30,428 Speaker 1: bit with his antics that we have loved highlighting on 169 00:08:30,468 --> 00:08:33,188 Speaker 1: this show, and just some of his answers are quirky 170 00:08:33,308 --> 00:08:36,428 Speaker 1: and you don't really get them. But with Michael Irvin 171 00:08:36,508 --> 00:08:38,748 Speaker 1: last night, I think there was an important clarification that 172 00:08:38,828 --> 00:08:41,108 Speaker 1: was put out there by head coach for the Eagles 173 00:08:41,148 --> 00:08:44,308 Speaker 1: recently that Jalen Hurts is like Michael Jordan, and people 174 00:08:44,468 --> 00:08:46,268 Speaker 1: kind of cringed at that. To be honest, is it 175 00:08:46,308 --> 00:08:49,108 Speaker 1: too far? Is it too early? But Sirianni had a 176 00:08:49,108 --> 00:08:54,028 Speaker 1: clarification about that, it's still will the win of Jalen Hurts. 177 00:08:54,028 --> 00:08:55,988 Speaker 1: It's still will the win of Michael Jordan. You know 178 00:08:56,468 --> 00:08:59,188 Speaker 1: that That's what That's what I'm can carrying that too. 179 00:08:59,588 --> 00:09:01,628 Speaker 1: You know, Michael Jordan's the greatest, the greatest of all time. 180 00:09:01,628 --> 00:09:03,388 Speaker 1: And I know some of the players will argue with me, 181 00:09:03,468 --> 00:09:06,468 Speaker 1: that's Lebron. It's it's no, I'm forty one years old. 182 00:09:06,468 --> 00:09:08,308 Speaker 1: It's Michael Jordan. You know what I'm saying. And so 183 00:09:09,748 --> 00:09:12,708 Speaker 1: it's just this will to win that and it's just Jalen. 184 00:09:13,908 --> 00:09:17,788 Speaker 1: I don't know what Jalen Hurts his ceiling is because 185 00:09:18,348 --> 00:09:21,068 Speaker 1: because he just keeps setting a new standard to what 186 00:09:21,148 --> 00:09:25,508 Speaker 1: his ceiling can be. I found that to be a 187 00:09:25,628 --> 00:09:29,108 Speaker 1: very endearing answer by Sirianni, like he acknowledges his age. 188 00:09:29,148 --> 00:09:31,108 Speaker 1: This is why I think Jordan is the greatest, and 189 00:09:31,188 --> 00:09:33,988 Speaker 1: people of Jalen Hurts his generation are probably gonna argue 190 00:09:33,988 --> 00:09:36,828 Speaker 1: with Lebron. He thinks it's Jordan. It's of the utmost 191 00:09:36,828 --> 00:09:40,068 Speaker 1: compliment to compare anybody to Michael Jordan. But I enjoyed 192 00:09:40,068 --> 00:09:42,908 Speaker 1: the parallel there and acknowledging like we're still learning about 193 00:09:42,908 --> 00:09:45,668 Speaker 1: this quarterback as we football fans are at times that 194 00:09:45,748 --> 00:09:48,348 Speaker 1: he sets Jalen Hurts a standard for him and he 195 00:09:48,388 --> 00:09:52,028 Speaker 1: exceeds it constantly, constantly, constantly. That was kind of an awkward, 196 00:09:52,028 --> 00:09:53,748 Speaker 1: clunky thing he did a couple of weeks ago with Jordan, 197 00:09:53,748 --> 00:09:55,508 Speaker 1: but I liked hearing the answer on Monday Night. I 198 00:09:55,668 --> 00:09:58,028 Speaker 1: like to hearing the answer too, And look, Jalen is 199 00:09:58,028 --> 00:10:01,068 Speaker 1: Michael Jordan. I still think Sirianni is Michael Scott. I 200 00:10:01,108 --> 00:10:03,428 Speaker 1: still hear some of that from that, and that brings 201 00:10:03,428 --> 00:10:07,548 Speaker 1: me to this great troo. My prediction yesterday, by the 202 00:10:07,548 --> 00:10:09,028 Speaker 1: way of what we start to show with, was right. 203 00:10:09,708 --> 00:10:13,188 Speaker 1: Remember Late Office run there's a wedding at Shoot Farms 204 00:10:13,468 --> 00:10:16,548 Speaker 1: and Dwight Shroot does the introductions where goes miss st 205 00:10:16,908 --> 00:10:20,148 Speaker 1: Jim Helper for everyone who walks out. There's something like 206 00:10:20,188 --> 00:10:22,428 Speaker 1: that that happens now every year, and it's about the 207 00:10:22,508 --> 00:10:25,628 Speaker 1: Lombardi Trophy. And it is so beautiful and it's so wonderful, 208 00:10:25,668 --> 00:10:27,508 Speaker 1: and I think it is part of a new tradition 209 00:10:27,548 --> 00:10:30,948 Speaker 1: where it's not Super Bowl a week for me personally 210 00:10:31,308 --> 00:10:35,628 Speaker 1: until the Lombardi Trophy, an inanimate object is introduced like 211 00:10:35,628 --> 00:10:37,988 Speaker 1: it's the King of the World by Scott Hanson, who 212 00:10:38,108 --> 00:10:39,908 Speaker 1: might as well be. Let's take it away, Liz and Gemen. 213 00:10:41,068 --> 00:10:43,908 Speaker 1: Here it is, ladies and gentleman, what the Eagles and 214 00:10:44,028 --> 00:10:47,548 Speaker 1: Chiefs will be playing for on Super Bowl Sunday. It 215 00:10:47,668 --> 00:10:51,588 Speaker 1: stands twenty one inches, it weighs seven pounds so pure 216 00:10:51,708 --> 00:10:56,588 Speaker 1: Tiffany's Sterling silver, and it defines the careers of the 217 00:10:56,708 --> 00:11:02,068 Speaker 1: players and coaches who are able to win it. It's 218 00:11:02,108 --> 00:11:04,908 Speaker 1: just so beautiful. I tear up every year. It's like 219 00:11:04,948 --> 00:11:08,428 Speaker 1: it's got this sort of Michael Buffer vibe to it, 220 00:11:08,508 --> 00:11:12,068 Speaker 1: but it's much more regal and classy. And Scott is 221 00:11:12,108 --> 00:11:13,948 Speaker 1: the only person who can do it. And I'll even 222 00:11:13,988 --> 00:11:15,468 Speaker 1: give you a proof of that, because I'm gonna do 223 00:11:15,468 --> 00:11:17,588 Speaker 1: it right now. So I got the mic, I'm gonna go. 224 00:11:19,308 --> 00:11:21,268 Speaker 1: I don't have a trophy, so here my mug is 225 00:11:21,268 --> 00:11:24,348 Speaker 1: gonna be the trophy. I don't have one. I'm not 226 00:11:24,388 --> 00:11:28,948 Speaker 1: allowed one. Here it is, ladies and gentlemen, what the 227 00:11:28,988 --> 00:11:32,748 Speaker 1: Eagles and Chiefs will be playing for on Super Bowl Sunday. 228 00:11:33,108 --> 00:11:36,708 Speaker 1: It stands twenty one inches, it weighs seven pounds of 229 00:11:36,868 --> 00:11:41,628 Speaker 1: pure Tiffany's Sterling silver, and it defines the careers and 230 00:11:41,788 --> 00:11:45,948 Speaker 1: players of coaches who are able to win it. And 231 00:11:46,068 --> 00:11:48,868 Speaker 1: that's the best I can do. But it's nothing like Scott. 232 00:11:49,148 --> 00:11:51,268 Speaker 1: It's not. You know, there's this sadness when when the 233 00:11:51,348 --> 00:11:53,228 Speaker 1: when the red zone is over and Scott has to 234 00:11:53,228 --> 00:11:55,708 Speaker 1: come out of the studio. I disagree. This is the 235 00:11:55,788 --> 00:11:57,908 Speaker 1: grand finale for me, Scott. It is so good. I 236 00:11:57,948 --> 00:11:59,908 Speaker 1: tear up every time. This is a part of the 237 00:12:00,028 --> 00:12:04,668 Speaker 1: Super Bowl tradition. Is Hanson introducing the Tiffany's Sterling Silver 238 00:12:04,868 --> 00:12:08,228 Speaker 1: and the measurements. It's the measured. I love it, Tiffanies 239 00:12:08,268 --> 00:12:12,668 Speaker 1: and you have to every syllable tiffaniasies. Sterling still almost 240 00:12:12,708 --> 00:12:18,988 Speaker 1: painfully articulate, handsome, so good, credible, genuine, and he loves it. 241 00:12:19,148 --> 00:12:24,748 Speaker 1: He just loves ball. I love part. Yes, she's so good. 242 00:12:24,788 --> 00:12:28,828 Speaker 1: Sterling Silver slid a generation of kids to be Yes. 243 00:12:29,228 --> 00:12:32,348 Speaker 1: Seven pounds. You know, Michael Jordan is six foot six. 244 00:12:32,428 --> 00:12:34,508 Speaker 1: We have remember that this the Lombardi. We know the 245 00:12:34,508 --> 00:12:36,028 Speaker 1: measurements of it. Now, Peter, how do you do? That 246 00:12:36,708 --> 00:12:44,788 Speaker 1: was awesome. We didn't reimagined Pro Bowl Games Presentizon presenteriz Um. 247 00:12:44,988 --> 00:12:47,708 Speaker 1: Somewhat mid way through yesterday, I was watching, I'm like, 248 00:12:47,788 --> 00:12:49,988 Speaker 1: I think we might need to reimagine media night. I 249 00:12:50,068 --> 00:12:52,948 Speaker 1: was like, no one said anything. There's a lot of 250 00:12:52,948 --> 00:12:56,028 Speaker 1: hoop I'm waiting for. And then Juju stepped to the 251 00:12:57,428 --> 00:12:59,108 Speaker 1: Jason you said it yesterday. I want to see what 252 00:12:59,148 --> 00:13:00,868 Speaker 1: Jude I'm like you just been toned down. This year, 253 00:13:00,948 --> 00:13:03,948 Speaker 1: ju Juju has kind of been a lesser version of 254 00:13:03,988 --> 00:13:06,548 Speaker 1: what we were used to. Juju, says Juju Smith. She's 255 00:13:06,748 --> 00:13:11,788 Speaker 1: sterling silver, Juju Smith Schuster. Still Juju, take it away. 256 00:13:11,828 --> 00:13:15,908 Speaker 1: You saved the night. I'm amazing.

Damn. 268 00:13:56,828 --> 00:13:59,628 Speaker 1: It was supposed to be fun last night and straight 269 00:13:59,708 --> 00:14:03,548 Speaker 1: fancis everyone very important? Is it? Juju was Juju? I 270 00:14:03,588 --> 00:14:05,428 Speaker 1: was happy and we don't have to reimagine media and 271 00:14:05,468 --> 00:14:08,308 Speaker 1: night Ju saved the day. That was awesome. That was 272 00:14:08,348 --> 00:14:10,268 Speaker 1: exactly what we were looking for because he was starting 273 00:14:10,308 --> 00:14:12,188 Speaker 1: throw flickers of it, but like he needed to be 274 00:14:12,188 --> 00:14:18,228 Speaker 1: on that riser and his appreciation for the moment. It stands. 275 00:14:21,748 --> 00:14:24,188 Speaker 1: Can the Eagles win Super Bowl fifty seven if Mahomes 276 00:14:24,388 --> 00:14:27,108 Speaker 1: is at the top of his game way up here, Peter, 277 00:14:27,148 --> 00:14:28,988 Speaker 1: can they do it? Yeah? They can still win. They're 278 00:14:28,988 --> 00:14:31,308 Speaker 1: that good. I think the Eagles have something to go 279 00:14:31,428 --> 00:14:34,308 Speaker 1: and they've outscored their playoff opponents sixty nine to fourteen. 280 00:14:34,348 --> 00:14:36,548 Speaker 1: Mahomes can be amazing, It could be fully healthy, and 281 00:14:36,748 --> 00:14:38,388 Speaker 1: I think his Eagles team is good enough to hang 282 00:14:38,428 --> 00:14:40,388 Speaker 1: with them. You know, the last time the Eagles were 283 00:14:40,428 --> 00:14:42,308 Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl, I think Tom Brady had his 284 00:14:42,428 --> 00:14:46,588 Speaker 1: best individual performance up over five hundred yards, broke all 285 00:14:46,628 --> 00:14:49,468 Speaker 1: the records, and Nick Foles and the Eagles were able 286 00:14:49,508 --> 00:14:52,428 Speaker 1: to go throw for throw, play for play and we're 287 00:14:52,468 --> 00:14:54,868 Speaker 1: able to find a way. Um. This is not one 288 00:14:54,868 --> 00:14:56,948 Speaker 1: of those games like the Giant Super Bowls where Brady 289 00:14:56,988 --> 00:14:59,028 Speaker 1: just you know, couldn't get it going and the defenses 290 00:14:59,068 --> 00:15:03,268 Speaker 1: in his face. Brady lit up that Eagles defense absolutely 291 00:15:03,348 --> 00:15:05,828 Speaker 1: let them up and right back at you. Nick Foles 292 00:15:05,868 --> 00:15:08,188 Speaker 1: had an answer for him. Why does that matter? Because 293 00:15:08,468 --> 00:15:11,948 Speaker 1: that core four we always talk about Kelsey, Lane, Johnson, 294 00:15:12,108 --> 00:15:15,028 Speaker 1: Fletcher Cox, Brandon Grahamview. They were all key players on 295 00:15:15,108 --> 00:15:16,868 Speaker 1: Super Bowl. They're all going to be key players in 296 00:15:16,868 --> 00:15:18,948 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. They will be able to say, Hey, 297 00:15:19,068 --> 00:15:21,548 Speaker 1: Mahomes is gone, but we've got a pretty good team too. 298 00:15:23,508 --> 00:15:25,868 Speaker 1: I think that the Eagles have run through teams in 299 00:15:25,868 --> 00:15:29,028 Speaker 1: this league, like Northern Squad in the entire league. I 300 00:15:29,068 --> 00:15:31,588 Speaker 1: think what they have done this season, both on offense 301 00:15:31,628 --> 00:15:35,428 Speaker 1: and on defense, cannot be underestimated. And if Mahomes is spectacular, 302 00:15:36,188 --> 00:15:38,228 Speaker 1: I have no doubt that the Eagles can match them 303 00:15:38,268 --> 00:15:39,548 Speaker 1: blow for blow. I think this is going to be 304 00:15:39,548 --> 00:15:42,308 Speaker 1: a fantastic Super Bowl. And if anything, the question is 305 00:15:42,748 --> 00:15:45,148 Speaker 1: if the Eagles are working on full cylinder and the 306 00:15:45,188 --> 00:15:47,468 Speaker 1: Eagles are doing what they want to do, how do 307 00:15:47,508 --> 00:15:49,228 Speaker 1: the Chiefs keep up with Philly? Because that's where it 308 00:15:49,308 --> 00:15:51,508 Speaker 1: through the story all year with the Eagles. Yeah, I 309 00:15:51,588 --> 00:15:53,628 Speaker 1: think to your point, you have Mahomes, which we know 310 00:15:53,788 --> 00:15:55,588 Speaker 1: is the best player in the world on our side, 311 00:15:55,708 --> 00:15:57,508 Speaker 1: and we look at the Eagles Rolston, We're like, this 312 00:15:57,588 --> 00:16:00,548 Speaker 1: is the best team talent of wise in the NFL, 313 00:16:00,788 --> 00:16:02,388 Speaker 1: and it's going to be very hard I think for 314 00:16:02,428 --> 00:16:04,948 Speaker 1: the Eagles to win this game if Mahomes goes out 315 00:16:04,948 --> 00:16:08,228 Speaker 1: there and throws four or five touchdown passes four hundred yards, 316 00:16:08,348 --> 00:16:11,668 Speaker 1: because it'll ignite this Kansas City Chiefs offense and team. 317 00:16:11,908 --> 00:16:13,748 Speaker 1: But I do think the way for them to do 318 00:16:13,788 --> 00:16:15,668 Speaker 1: it is with a lot of guys on the Eagles 319 00:16:15,748 --> 00:16:20,308 Speaker 1: references Jeff Stoutlin University. Those are the guys that will 320 00:16:20,428 --> 00:16:22,988 Speaker 1: enable them to do it on the ground, running the 321 00:16:23,028 --> 00:16:25,348 Speaker 1: ball with the three running backs that they have that 322 00:16:25,428 --> 00:16:29,708 Speaker 1: have had two great playoff games, whether it's Miles Sanders, 323 00:16:29,828 --> 00:16:32,828 Speaker 1: whether it's Kenneth Game while Boston Scott, those guys have 324 00:16:32,948 --> 00:16:37,188 Speaker 1: been running behind this Philadelphia Eagles offensive line, whether it's 325 00:16:37,268 --> 00:16:41,068 Speaker 1: Kelsey Diggerson, my Alatta say Amolo, all of these guys 326 00:16:41,308 --> 00:16:43,948 Speaker 1: have blocked their butts off, and they all credit their 327 00:16:43,948 --> 00:16:47,708 Speaker 1: offensive line coach Jeff Stoutlin, who decided to sign an 328 00:16:47,708 --> 00:16:50,108 Speaker 1: extension and stay in Philly because he said it's home. 329 00:16:50,468 --> 00:16:53,268 Speaker 1: And these guys really believe in what he preaches and 330 00:16:53,348 --> 00:16:56,188 Speaker 1: they fire off the line, and both their playoff games, 331 00:16:56,348 --> 00:16:58,428 Speaker 1: you can talk about what the quarterback on the other side, 332 00:16:58,468 --> 00:17:00,708 Speaker 1: he's gonna do when all of these things. But they've 333 00:17:00,788 --> 00:17:03,188 Speaker 1: rushed for over two hundred yards in the first game, 334 00:17:03,308 --> 00:17:06,068 Speaker 1: then over one hundred yards in the second game, seven 335 00:17:06,148 --> 00:17:09,988 Speaker 1: touchdowns rushing between those two games. If you can run 336 00:17:10,028 --> 00:17:12,668 Speaker 1: the ball that way, you're gonna possess the ball longer 337 00:17:12,708 --> 00:17:14,708 Speaker 1: than Europe won, and it's gonna give them a better 338 00:17:14,748 --> 00:17:16,748 Speaker 1: chance to win a game, no matter how many touchdown 339 00:17:16,828 --> 00:17:19,508 Speaker 1: passes or how many times Patrick Mahomes throws the ball. 340 00:17:19,588 --> 00:17:21,348 Speaker 1: So I do think it'll be tough for them. The 341 00:17:21,388 --> 00:17:23,348 Speaker 1: only way they can do it is running behind that 342 00:17:23,428 --> 00:17:25,508 Speaker 1: offensive line. I think I look at it this way. 343 00:17:25,548 --> 00:17:29,548 Speaker 1: If Mahomes plays an a Mahomes game, I think I'm 344 00:17:29,588 --> 00:17:30,988 Speaker 1: not sure they could beat him. I think it'd be 345 00:17:31,028 --> 00:17:33,668 Speaker 1: very difficult. In fact, I'll even say no, because you 346 00:17:33,668 --> 00:17:36,028 Speaker 1: know Peter Ivan and your example, Brady has the huge 347 00:17:36,068 --> 00:17:37,868 Speaker 1: turnover at the end of the game and that changed 348 00:17:37,868 --> 00:17:40,028 Speaker 1: the whole game when Brandon Graham stripped him. If let's 349 00:17:40,068 --> 00:17:42,548 Speaker 1: let's just look at it statistically. If Mahomes throws for 350 00:17:42,588 --> 00:17:45,708 Speaker 1: three hundred and fifty yards and no interceptions, he's done 351 00:17:45,708 --> 00:17:47,708 Speaker 1: that eleven times in his career. He's ten and one, 352 00:17:47,908 --> 00:17:49,748 Speaker 1: ten and one, and the only loss was three years 353 00:17:49,748 --> 00:17:51,668 Speaker 1: ago in a very strange game against the Titans where 354 00:17:51,668 --> 00:17:53,948 Speaker 1: Derrick Henry went nuts. I just I don't think they can. 355 00:17:54,028 --> 00:17:55,628 Speaker 1: I think it's the ultimate weapon. And I think if 356 00:17:55,668 --> 00:17:57,348 Speaker 1: it's if Mahomes sits there and he goes wow, I 357 00:17:57,348 --> 00:17:59,228 Speaker 1: went for three seventy one and no turnover, somehow we 358 00:17:59,468 --> 00:18:00,748 Speaker 1: I just don't see it. I think he is the 359 00:18:00,788 --> 00:18:03,028 Speaker 1: ultimate weapon in this game. But also I want to 360 00:18:03,028 --> 00:18:06,228 Speaker 1: go back something that brought up yesterday. These quarterbacks that 361 00:18:06,308 --> 00:18:09,068 Speaker 1: this great Eagles team has faced for the last two months, 362 00:18:09,068 --> 00:18:11,468 Speaker 1: just bring it up. These are the guys. These are 363 00:18:11,548 --> 00:18:14,828 Speaker 1: all the quarterbacks the Eagles have faced, in chronological order. 364 00:18:15,508 --> 00:18:19,508 Speaker 1: Rogers puts thirty three on them. Tannehill, Daniel Jones, Justin Fields. 365 00:18:19,588 --> 00:18:23,588 Speaker 1: Dak puts forty on them, Andy Dalton, Daniel Jones, Daniel Jones, 366 00:18:23,628 --> 00:18:26,788 Speaker 1: Brock Ready, Bubba three times, Daniel Jones in the space 367 00:18:26,868 --> 00:18:29,748 Speaker 1: of about just over a month. And then some guys 368 00:18:29,748 --> 00:18:31,788 Speaker 1: who are either working on their game or a kind 369 00:18:31,788 --> 00:18:34,028 Speaker 1: of middling or sort of that second or third tier. 370 00:18:34,308 --> 00:18:37,268 Speaker 1: The only top guys that we could debate. When nuts 371 00:18:37,308 --> 00:18:39,508 Speaker 1: on the Eagles defense put up seventy three points in 372 00:18:39,548 --> 00:18:42,308 Speaker 1: two games, Rogers and Dak so then we bring in 373 00:18:42,388 --> 00:18:46,948 Speaker 1: Mahomes with Kelsey and I don't know if it's fourteen 374 00:18:47,028 --> 00:18:50,308 Speaker 1: nothing after the first quarter or even fourteen fourteen and Mahomes, 375 00:18:51,068 --> 00:18:52,868 Speaker 1: I'm not going to be shocked. And if this motivates 376 00:18:52,868 --> 00:18:55,348 Speaker 1: the Eagles defense, please play it. The fact is that 377 00:18:55,428 --> 00:18:57,348 Speaker 1: not for the last couple of weeks, for the last 378 00:18:57,388 --> 00:19:00,308 Speaker 1: couple of months, they have not come across many dogs 379 00:19:00,308 --> 00:19:02,748 Speaker 1: a quarterback, and the baddest dog in the whole yard 380 00:19:02,788 --> 00:19:05,588 Speaker 1: is coming in. Let me ask you, guys, he said, 381 00:19:05,628 --> 00:19:08,228 Speaker 1: fourteen nothing. We haven't seen Jalen Hurts have to throw 382 00:19:08,308 --> 00:19:10,348 Speaker 1: his He said, you just got to run behind Jef's out. 383 00:19:10,388 --> 00:19:12,668 Speaker 1: If it's fourteen nothing, can Jalen Hurts? Have we seen 384 00:19:12,708 --> 00:19:14,628 Speaker 1: this version of him where he can start using his 385 00:19:14,788 --> 00:19:16,548 Speaker 1: arm to get this game back? Because every hey just 386 00:19:16,668 --> 00:19:18,908 Speaker 1: run the ball so you don't have to score and 387 00:19:18,988 --> 00:19:20,268 Speaker 1: keep up and attrack me. And it's going to be 388 00:19:20,268 --> 00:19:23,468 Speaker 1: interesting if they do jump. That's Peter. The last part 389 00:19:23,508 --> 00:19:25,308 Speaker 1: of your initial comment was where I was going to 390 00:19:25,388 --> 00:19:27,748 Speaker 1: go is like, why are we framing the question this way? 391 00:19:27,748 --> 00:19:30,308 Speaker 1: Why is it if one of these quarterbacks, if either 392 00:19:30,308 --> 00:19:31,548 Speaker 1: one of them are playing at the ring game, can 393 00:19:31,588 --> 00:19:34,108 Speaker 1: the other why is it, Mahomes, is the injury that 394 00:19:34,308 --> 00:19:37,748 Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts sustained late in the season, that shoulder injury 395 00:19:37,748 --> 00:19:40,068 Speaker 1: that we are is that more concerning than the high 396 00:19:40,068 --> 00:19:43,148 Speaker 1: angles ring. Why are we detracting from the last couple 397 00:19:43,148 --> 00:19:44,868 Speaker 1: of weeks of the regular season that we saw from 398 00:19:44,908 --> 00:19:48,508 Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts. This was the lone unbeaten team in late November. 399 00:19:48,788 --> 00:19:53,148 Speaker 1: This quarterback would be leading, I think a battling Patrick 400 00:19:53,148 --> 00:19:55,828 Speaker 1: Mahomes for an MVP conversation had he not gotten hurt. 401 00:19:56,028 --> 00:19:59,108 Speaker 1: We all agreed when that initial shoulder injury happened, him 402 00:19:59,148 --> 00:20:03,108 Speaker 1: not playing in that epic battle against the Cowboys over Christmas, 403 00:20:03,468 --> 00:20:05,868 Speaker 1: that that was going to detract from. If the Eagles 404 00:20:05,868 --> 00:20:07,868 Speaker 1: win this game, it would detract from Jalen Hurts his 405 00:20:08,028 --> 00:20:11,388 Speaker 1: MVP caliber sees it. His injury obviously shoulder a little 406 00:20:11,388 --> 00:20:14,388 Speaker 1: different than an ankle for a mobile quarterback. But Peter, 407 00:20:14,468 --> 00:20:17,748 Speaker 1: at your point, I think we love Jalen Hurts his 408 00:20:17,828 --> 00:20:20,188 Speaker 1: ability to run the ball, but he was throwing the 409 00:20:20,188 --> 00:20:22,988 Speaker 1: ball up until that mid December shoulder injury. It just 410 00:20:23,388 --> 00:20:26,628 Speaker 1: the question way it's framed to me, if we're looking, 411 00:20:26,668 --> 00:20:28,868 Speaker 1: if the Eagles looking for fodder, that would make me 412 00:20:28,908 --> 00:20:32,188 Speaker 1: angry because we're not saying, hey, if Jalen Hurts, Because 413 00:20:32,388 --> 00:20:34,748 Speaker 1: to Nick Sirianni's point last night, we don't know his 414 00:20:34,868 --> 00:20:37,108 Speaker 1: ceiling yet he's still showing it to us. We think 415 00:20:37,148 --> 00:20:39,388 Speaker 1: we know Mahomes because he's won a Super Bowl before, 416 00:20:39,428 --> 00:20:41,948 Speaker 1: He's been there a handful of times. But if I'm 417 00:20:41,988 --> 00:20:43,828 Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts, I'm looking at this question and I'm like, 418 00:20:43,868 --> 00:20:46,748 Speaker 1: what the hell it's like? You know, I have an 419 00:20:46,788 --> 00:20:49,228 Speaker 1: a game two that you just start choosing not to 420 00:20:49,268 --> 00:20:51,548 Speaker 1: see since early December just because of an injury, not 421 00:20:51,588 --> 00:20:53,628 Speaker 1: because he played crappy. I hear you. I Mahomes is 422 00:20:53,668 --> 00:20:55,348 Speaker 1: gonna be a huge challenge. But to your point, Jamie, 423 00:20:55,548 --> 00:20:57,468 Speaker 1: I picked the Eagles the Monday after the title games. 424 00:20:57,708 --> 00:20:59,908 Speaker 1: And the thing that makes me sleep at night is 425 00:20:59,908 --> 00:21:02,508 Speaker 1: the Eagles are sixteen and one with Jalen Hurts. They're 426 00:21:02,588 --> 00:21:04,988 Speaker 1: sixteen one and they watch one weird game of the Commanders. 427 00:21:04,988 --> 00:21:07,468 Speaker 1: Otherwise they have not lost, and it's comforted him. Yeah, 428 00:21:07,668 --> 00:21:10,628 Speaker 1: the scheduling thing, like they can't control who they play. Yeah, 429 00:21:10,788 --> 00:21:12,908 Speaker 1: you know, like they Brock Purdy was on the field, 430 00:21:12,948 --> 00:21:15,068 Speaker 1: they beat him handily, they knocked him out of the game. Job. 431 00:21:15,508 --> 00:21:18,868 Speaker 1: So there's an argument to everything, and maybe we are 432 00:21:18,908 --> 00:21:20,788 Speaker 1: dismissing just how good he's been throwing the ball this year. 433 00:21:20,828 --> 00:21:23,028 Speaker 1: Jale Hurt's been fantastic. Yeah, you get a weaker opponent, 434 00:21:23,028 --> 00:21:24,548 Speaker 1: you go out there and dominate him, and that's what 435 00:21:24,588 --> 00:21:30,268 Speaker 1: they've done. It would go one of our favorites. We 436 00:21:30,428 --> 00:21:32,948 Speaker 1: love this guy. He is the Walter Peyton Man of 437 00:21:32,988 --> 00:21:35,788 Speaker 1: the Year. Pretty cool. It's a Super Bowl champion and 438 00:21:35,988 --> 00:21:38,508 Speaker 1: he is a member of Prime Videos Thursday and Football 439 00:21:38,508 --> 00:21:40,828 Speaker 1: Broadcast has been coming an all season long. Guys, Andrew Worth, 440 00:21:40,868 --> 00:21:44,788 Speaker 1: what up with? Good morning? What's going on? My people? 441 00:21:44,828 --> 00:21:48,668 Speaker 1: Is super Bowl week? Let's go, let's go. I cannot 442 00:21:48,668 --> 00:21:51,788 Speaker 1: believe it was twelve months ago that you guys won 443 00:21:51,828 --> 00:21:55,548 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. You got the Lombardi, the trophy, the parade, 444 00:21:55,748 --> 00:21:58,028 Speaker 1: Aaron Donald's shirt list, it was a year ago. We're 445 00:21:58,068 --> 00:22:00,028 Speaker 1: already here. We took another lap around the sun in 446 00:22:00,068 --> 00:22:02,748 Speaker 1: fifty seven weeks away. This is the next one we got. 447 00:22:02,828 --> 00:22:06,108 Speaker 1: Let's get right your prediction, Chiefs or Eagles? What what 448 00:22:06,148 --> 00:22:08,188 Speaker 1: do you think? Right in the gate? That's that's what 449 00:22:08,228 --> 00:22:10,908 Speaker 1: the scripted question says. Chiefs are Eagles? What do you want? What? 450 00:22:11,548 --> 00:22:13,948 Speaker 1: I love it? Just right to it. You know, I'm 451 00:22:14,028 --> 00:22:15,908 Speaker 1: sad kind of it's it's the end of the rain 452 00:22:15,988 --> 00:22:18,268 Speaker 1: this year. You know, we're no longer the defending champs. 453 00:22:18,868 --> 00:22:21,108 Speaker 1: It's coming to an end. I think I'm gonna go 454 00:22:21,228 --> 00:22:25,228 Speaker 1: with the Philadelphia Eagles. You know, my Homes already made 455 00:22:25,268 --> 00:22:28,348 Speaker 1: me look bad. I picked against him against Cincinnati. But 456 00:22:28,428 --> 00:22:31,228 Speaker 1: you know, but this time, I just love the big 457 00:22:31,228 --> 00:22:33,228 Speaker 1: fellas up front. I love the Eagles lines on both 458 00:22:33,228 --> 00:22:35,268 Speaker 1: sides of the football, and I just think they're gonna 459 00:22:35,308 --> 00:22:37,108 Speaker 1: have something to do with this game. And I think 460 00:22:37,108 --> 00:22:40,868 Speaker 1: I'm going with the Eagles. You know, you mentioned Cincinnati, 461 00:22:41,068 --> 00:22:43,468 Speaker 1: and you picked your old team last week or two 462 00:22:43,508 --> 00:22:46,228 Speaker 1: weeks ago to beat Myhomes. Little piece of news. It's 463 00:22:46,228 --> 00:22:48,508 Speaker 1: not like breaking news on the NFL network right now, 464 00:22:48,548 --> 00:22:52,068 Speaker 1: but AJ Green, quietly as he always carried himself, announced 465 00:22:52,108 --> 00:22:56,148 Speaker 1: his retirement yesterday. You were his long time teammate in Cincinnati. 466 00:22:56,188 --> 00:22:59,948 Speaker 1: AJ Green was an absolute freak. What was the moment 467 00:23:00,068 --> 00:23:04,788 Speaker 1: that you realized this dude is special? I think aj 468 00:23:04,948 --> 00:23:06,628 Speaker 1: one of the biggest compliments I can't give him as 469 00:23:06,668 --> 00:23:09,028 Speaker 1: all the special plays he made on the football field, 470 00:23:09,108 --> 00:23:11,628 Speaker 1: I watched even better ones in practice every week. I 471 00:23:11,628 --> 00:23:14,068 Speaker 1: mean the guy was an absolute highlight reel, But I 472 00:23:14,108 --> 00:23:16,148 Speaker 1: think for me it was I think playing the Buffalo 473 00:23:16,228 --> 00:23:19,268 Speaker 1: Bills early in his career, he caught a football almost 474 00:23:19,308 --> 00:23:22,948 Speaker 1: literally horizontally to the ground where he's laid back, completely 475 00:23:22,988 --> 00:23:25,228 Speaker 1: catching it over his head down the field, and I 476 00:23:25,268 --> 00:23:27,068 Speaker 1: just thought it was one of the most impressive catches 477 00:23:27,108 --> 00:23:29,788 Speaker 1: I've ever seen over his head, you know, with his 478 00:23:29,908 --> 00:23:32,188 Speaker 1: back to the ground. It was a really crazy catch, 479 00:23:32,228 --> 00:23:35,308 Speaker 1: and I think really cool for him. Man, what a career, 480 00:23:35,428 --> 00:23:38,148 Speaker 1: what an unbelievable see you know year career. He had 481 00:23:39,068 --> 00:23:41,548 Speaker 1: some of my best seasons with him in Cincinnati. You know, 482 00:23:41,588 --> 00:23:43,748 Speaker 1: I'll never forget him and how quiet he was, but 483 00:23:43,828 --> 00:23:46,028 Speaker 1: how good of a dude. He was just day in 484 00:23:46,068 --> 00:23:48,348 Speaker 1: and day out. Man for a superstar, you know, at 485 00:23:48,348 --> 00:23:49,548 Speaker 1: one point in his career he was one of the 486 00:23:49,548 --> 00:23:52,268 Speaker 1: best in the game. Never said a word, just came 487 00:23:52,308 --> 00:23:54,348 Speaker 1: to work, put in the work, and was a joy 488 00:23:54,388 --> 00:23:57,748 Speaker 1: to be around. Yeah, never said a world out. A 489 00:23:57,828 --> 00:23:59,588 Speaker 1: chance to go up against him, And as you're talking 490 00:23:59,628 --> 00:24:02,028 Speaker 1: with the highlights of playing off to the side, I'm 491 00:24:02,028 --> 00:24:03,868 Speaker 1: over here, like, man, I just hope I'm not on 492 00:24:03,948 --> 00:24:07,188 Speaker 1: any of these highlights as AJ Greer. It's such a 493 00:24:07,188 --> 00:24:10,988 Speaker 1: great career, so many plays. Let's stay right there in Cincinnati. 494 00:24:11,068 --> 00:24:13,828 Speaker 1: Your good friend Joe Burrow is one of the five 495 00:24:13,948 --> 00:24:18,908 Speaker 1: finalists for this year's MVP Award. Obviously, some tough competition 496 00:24:19,148 --> 00:24:23,548 Speaker 1: the quarterbacks hurts Mahomes, Josh Allen, it's also justin Jefferson 497 00:24:23,548 --> 00:24:25,948 Speaker 1: in that conversation, But can you please tell us why 498 00:24:26,028 --> 00:24:29,868 Speaker 1: Joe Burrow deserves this year's honor. You know, I think 499 00:24:29,908 --> 00:24:31,908 Speaker 1: I gotta relent. I got I gotta back down from 500 00:24:31,908 --> 00:24:33,628 Speaker 1: this one. I've been on his team the whole time, 501 00:24:33,668 --> 00:24:36,188 Speaker 1: but I think at this point and there's two LSU 502 00:24:36,308 --> 00:24:38,588 Speaker 1: guys on that list, so I'm really going against him. 503 00:24:38,988 --> 00:24:40,708 Speaker 1: I just think, you know what, Joe Burrow had an 504 00:24:40,788 --> 00:24:43,548 Speaker 1: insane year. It was a great year for the Cincinnati Bengals. 505 00:24:43,588 --> 00:24:45,628 Speaker 1: Didn't get to where they wanted to end it, obviously, 506 00:24:46,108 --> 00:24:48,748 Speaker 1: but I think it is Patrick Mahomes's MVP. I mean 507 00:24:48,788 --> 00:24:50,988 Speaker 1: it just is. The guy's done everything you can do. 508 00:24:51,588 --> 00:24:53,548 Speaker 1: Every Everyone wrote it off when they got rid of 509 00:24:53,628 --> 00:24:57,348 Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill said they're gonna struggle. He's done nothing but excel, 510 00:24:57,588 --> 00:25:01,188 Speaker 1: lead the league in touchdowns and passing yards, and I mean, 511 00:25:01,308 --> 00:25:04,068 Speaker 1: you know what, give the guys due He's done everything 512 00:25:04,148 --> 00:25:07,188 Speaker 1: that anyone said he couldn't. Every time we say he's gonna, 513 00:25:07,268 --> 00:25:09,348 Speaker 1: you know what, not be that guy, he steps up 514 00:25:09,428 --> 00:25:11,828 Speaker 1: and he's the guy again. So I just picked against 515 00:25:11,908 --> 00:25:13,548 Speaker 1: him in the super Bowl, and I'm probably gonna be 516 00:25:13,588 --> 00:25:16,348 Speaker 1: wrong about that as well, because he does nothing but 517 00:25:16,428 --> 00:25:19,908 Speaker 1: prove people wrong. You know what? This is Patrick Mahomes' MVP. 518 00:25:21,108 --> 00:25:23,108 Speaker 1: I like it with not as much as I like 519 00:25:23,148 --> 00:25:25,708 Speaker 1: this though. Mahomes is pretty cool. But how about the 520 00:25:25,748 --> 00:25:29,228 Speaker 1: Fisher Price Little People Collectors Super Bowl fifty seven champions set. 521 00:25:29,548 --> 00:25:32,028 Speaker 1: We have toys, they're at the table. I hope the 522 00:25:32,068 --> 00:25:34,828 Speaker 1: people at Mattel appreciate the irony of having Andrew Whitworth 523 00:25:34,908 --> 00:25:38,108 Speaker 1: endorsed Little People. I like that. It's perfect. Tell us 524 00:25:38,148 --> 00:25:41,148 Speaker 1: more about these new collectibles from Mattel. Yeah, I mean, 525 00:25:41,148 --> 00:25:43,788 Speaker 1: what a great fit. Right? Yeah?

So that's that's I guess the 531 00:25:57,108 --> 00:25:59,708 Speaker 1: consolation prize. But right now. You know what we talk 532 00:25:59,788 --> 00:26:02,348 Speaker 1: about all these things right as analysts, you know, the 533 00:26:02,628 --> 00:26:05,948 Speaker 1: competitive edges, the match up, the performance, the betting lines, 534 00:26:06,028 --> 00:26:08,988 Speaker 1: all these things. Right now, here's a key stat nobody knows. 535 00:26:09,548 --> 00:26:12,668 Speaker 1: In the pre orders for these the Eagles are leading 536 00:26:12,788 --> 00:26:16,268 Speaker 1: sixty four percent over the Chiefs. So maybe the Eagles 537 00:26:16,268 --> 00:26:19,388 Speaker 1: fans are a little more confident that they're gonna win 538 00:26:19,388 --> 00:26:23,948 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. That's great. What came with stats and 539 00:26:24,068 --> 00:26:27,988 Speaker 1: a pole at all? And listen, you just picked the 540 00:26:27,988 --> 00:26:30,948 Speaker 1: Eagles to win the soup and yet Mahomes to win 541 00:26:30,988 --> 00:26:33,628 Speaker 1: the MVP. So an Amazon guy, that's next gen, stature, 542 00:26:33,788 --> 00:26:38,148 Speaker 1: next gen, next gen. We love him. Wait, you're the best. 543 00:26:38,268 --> 00:26:40,028 Speaker 1: Enjoyed the Super Bowl? Hopefully we see out there at 544 00:26:40,028 --> 00:26:43,108 Speaker 1: some point. How fun? What yeah?

He won three titles as 547 00:26:53,388 --> 00:26:56,148 Speaker 1: the vice president of player Personnel for the New England Patriots. 548 00:26:56,468 --> 00:26:58,988 Speaker 1: He also worked in Kansas City and in Atlanta, and 549 00:26:59,188 --> 00:27:01,708 Speaker 1: he is on our show now, mister Scott Pealely, welcome 550 00:27:01,748 --> 00:27:04,228 Speaker 1: back from your world wind tour of all the college 551 00:27:04,508 --> 00:27:09,028 Speaker 1: star games. Good morning, It's good to be back home 552 00:27:09,028 --> 00:27:10,628 Speaker 1: for a little while for sure before we hit the 553 00:27:10,708 --> 00:27:14,188 Speaker 1: road again. And back on the road we go. So 554 00:27:14,308 --> 00:27:16,748 Speaker 1: you were the GM for the Chiefs and a young 555 00:27:16,788 --> 00:27:20,628 Speaker 1: man walks in, I want to say Mount Union and 556 00:27:20,828 --> 00:27:24,748 Speaker 1: his name is Nick Sirianni And that was his first 557 00:27:24,788 --> 00:27:27,948 Speaker 1: gig in the NFL in twenty twelve. What do you 558 00:27:28,028 --> 00:27:31,868 Speaker 1: remember from Nick Sirianni the young man coming in as 559 00:27:31,908 --> 00:27:34,868 Speaker 1: a novice and looking up to the GM and saying, Hey, 560 00:27:35,108 --> 00:27:36,708 Speaker 1: how do I get where I want to go in 561 00:27:36,748 --> 00:27:41,348 Speaker 1: the NFL? You know, Peter, it was interesting because he 562 00:27:41,468 --> 00:27:44,268 Speaker 1: knew Todd Haley. They had a prior relationship, and he 563 00:27:44,348 --> 00:27:46,708 Speaker 1: was actually had gotten done playing in Mount Union with them? 564 00:27:46,748 --> 00:27:52,148 Speaker 1: Was that Indiana Pennsylvania in coaching wide receivers. And I 565 00:27:52,188 --> 00:27:55,228 Speaker 1: guess what I saw in those four years out of 566 00:27:55,348 --> 00:27:59,108 Speaker 1: Nick when we were together was his ability, quite honestly, 567 00:27:59,108 --> 00:28:02,948 Speaker 1: to thrive under pressure, to handle pressure, to handle adversity. 568 00:28:03,348 --> 00:28:06,108 Speaker 1: You know, people don't really lies in those entry level jobs. 569 00:28:06,108 --> 00:28:10,068 Speaker 1: The amount of workload, pressure and intensity and blame that 570 00:28:10,148 --> 00:28:13,668 Speaker 1: always get thrown on the entry level people is enormous. 571 00:28:13,708 --> 00:28:16,948 Speaker 1: And again Nick thrived in those situations. You know, if 572 00:28:16,948 --> 00:28:19,108 Speaker 1: you look at how things work. In two thousand and nine, 573 00:28:19,148 --> 00:28:21,508 Speaker 1: people don't remember this. He started to learn in the 574 00:28:21,588 --> 00:28:25,548 Speaker 1: spring and all through training camp under chan Gailey. Todd 575 00:28:25,548 --> 00:28:28,548 Speaker 1: fired chan Gailey. Then Todd becomes the offensive coordinator. In 576 00:28:28,588 --> 00:28:32,108 Speaker 1: two and ten, the year that we win the division championship, 577 00:28:32,788 --> 00:28:35,748 Speaker 1: we have a different coordinator in Charlie Weiss. The next 578 00:28:35,788 --> 00:28:38,148 Speaker 1: year it's Bill Muir and Todd. The next year after 579 00:28:38,188 --> 00:28:42,948 Speaker 1: Todd was let go, it's Brian Dable. He thrived under 580 00:28:43,028 --> 00:28:45,508 Speaker 1: change and learned so much. But again he was a 581 00:28:45,548 --> 00:28:48,508 Speaker 1: guy who was constantly under pressure for so many reasons, 582 00:28:48,788 --> 00:28:50,988 Speaker 1: again because he was a one man show with an 583 00:28:51,108 --> 00:28:54,268 Speaker 1: enormous job, and he just became a better and better coach, 584 00:28:55,868 --> 00:28:58,628 Speaker 1: thriving under pressure and continue to become a better and 585 00:28:58,708 --> 00:29:01,628 Speaker 1: better coach. Attributes as you want for in your life, 586 00:29:01,628 --> 00:29:04,188 Speaker 1: no matter what you're doing a Scott. A lot has 587 00:29:04,228 --> 00:29:06,868 Speaker 1: been said about Patrick Mahomes and he's recovering from the 588 00:29:06,948 --> 00:29:09,628 Speaker 1: high angle spring, and we've talked about it what seems 589 00:29:09,628 --> 00:29:12,028 Speaker 1: like for a month now, But when you're going into 590 00:29:12,068 --> 00:29:15,068 Speaker 1: a super Bowl, it's a different preparation. Two weeks leading up. 591 00:29:15,468 --> 00:29:17,508 Speaker 1: What do you do in that first week to kind 592 00:29:17,508 --> 00:29:20,068 Speaker 1: of protect him and what precautions do you do as 593 00:29:20,068 --> 00:29:22,028 Speaker 1: you're still trying to prepare for the biggest game of 594 00:29:22,068 --> 00:29:25,788 Speaker 1: the season. Yeah, Jason, As you know, it begins with 595 00:29:25,828 --> 00:29:28,748 Speaker 1: treatment and it ends with treatment. The good news is 596 00:29:28,828 --> 00:29:31,348 Speaker 1: they've had this bye week in between. We saw him 597 00:29:31,348 --> 00:29:33,708 Speaker 1: in the AFC Championship Game, and in that one week's 598 00:29:33,748 --> 00:29:37,508 Speaker 1: time there was enough recovery and or they handled the 599 00:29:37,548 --> 00:29:40,548 Speaker 1: situation well enough. He wasn't close to one hundred percent, 600 00:29:40,708 --> 00:29:42,948 Speaker 1: but it was good enough. Now he has two weeks 601 00:29:43,148 --> 00:29:45,788 Speaker 1: and again the most important thing is the fact that 602 00:29:45,788 --> 00:29:48,188 Speaker 1: they've got to travel. Thankfully, it's not a long trip 603 00:29:48,228 --> 00:29:51,028 Speaker 1: from Kansas City to Arizona, but they've got to get 604 00:29:51,028 --> 00:29:53,948 Speaker 1: treatment morning, noon, and night. And then it's just the 605 00:29:53,988 --> 00:29:56,148 Speaker 1: regular thing where he has to look at what can 606 00:29:56,228 --> 00:29:57,988 Speaker 1: I do? What can I do? The coaches have to 607 00:29:57,988 --> 00:30:01,508 Speaker 1: pay attention to the coordinator, the trainers, the doctors. Everyone 608 00:30:01,628 --> 00:30:04,788 Speaker 1: is going to be watching him so closely to see 609 00:30:04,828 --> 00:30:06,908 Speaker 1: what he can do and what he can do. But really, 610 00:30:06,988 --> 00:30:08,868 Speaker 1: I think that Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs are in 611 00:30:08,868 --> 00:30:10,868 Speaker 1: a good situation based on what he did in the 612 00:30:10,868 --> 00:30:14,988 Speaker 1: AFC Championship Game and knowing how disciplined he is. He's 613 00:30:15,028 --> 00:30:17,548 Speaker 1: been getting treatment the entire time. The other thing is this, 614 00:30:18,268 --> 00:30:21,148 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes is not thinking about the next game. The 615 00:30:21,188 --> 00:30:23,468 Speaker 1: next game is an until September, so he will be 616 00:30:23,508 --> 00:30:27,108 Speaker 1: ready and he will be at the best, and coach 617 00:30:27,228 --> 00:30:28,748 Speaker 1: Andy Reid is going to make sure he's at his 618 00:30:28,788 --> 00:30:32,948 Speaker 1: absolute best as well. Patrick Mahomes isn't thinking about next week. 619 00:30:33,028 --> 00:30:34,988 Speaker 1: Somebody asked him about Valentine's Day and he said he 620 00:30:34,988 --> 00:30:36,908 Speaker 1: didn't know a day of the week. It was next week. 621 00:30:36,988 --> 00:30:40,588 Speaker 1: So he is all focused on Super Bowl fifty seven, 622 00:30:40,588 --> 00:30:42,468 Speaker 1: and rightfully so I know he can check on one. 623 00:30:42,548 --> 00:30:45,348 Speaker 1: February fourteenth is later. Let's slip over to the other 624 00:30:45,428 --> 00:30:48,428 Speaker 1: quarterback that impresses us a lot over this regular season, 625 00:30:48,468 --> 00:30:51,148 Speaker 1: as Jalen Hurts, twenty four year old who's leading his 626 00:30:51,188 --> 00:30:54,828 Speaker 1: team to a super Bowl in just his third NFL season. Scott, 627 00:30:54,828 --> 00:30:57,748 Speaker 1: you made your career scouting young players for their highest 628 00:30:57,788 --> 00:31:00,588 Speaker 1: of potentials. What have you seen from Jalen Hurts at 629 00:31:00,628 --> 00:31:02,228 Speaker 1: this point in his career that makes you think he 630 00:31:02,348 --> 00:31:07,468 Speaker 1: is prepared for this moment? Jamie, Sometimes we spend too 631 00:31:07,548 --> 00:31:11,748 Speaker 1: much time evaluating just skills and tools on player on players, 632 00:31:11,828 --> 00:31:14,028 Speaker 1: and I want to be clear, Jalen Hurts has all 633 00:31:14,068 --> 00:31:16,588 Speaker 1: of the skills and all of the tools, but what 634 00:31:16,708 --> 00:31:20,588 Speaker 1: he has as an absolutely unique ability to lead and 635 00:31:20,748 --> 00:31:24,868 Speaker 1: an incredible ability of understanding team. You know, you go 636 00:31:24,948 --> 00:31:27,108 Speaker 1: back to a couple of years in the twenty eighteen 637 00:31:27,548 --> 00:31:30,868 Speaker 1: National Championship game, he gets benched at halftime. They bring 638 00:31:30,948 --> 00:31:34,268 Speaker 1: him Tua and as that game ends, as it unfolds, 639 00:31:34,508 --> 00:31:37,188 Speaker 1: there's the touchdown pass its thrown and here we see it. 640 00:31:37,548 --> 00:31:40,668 Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts just goes crazy. This is authentic. This is 641 00:31:40,708 --> 00:31:42,868 Speaker 1: a guy who had just been benched at halftime. All 642 00:31:42,948 --> 00:31:46,748 Speaker 1: he cared about was the winning the National Championship. And 643 00:31:46,788 --> 00:31:49,748 Speaker 1: what I thought was amazing because I watched this. When 644 00:31:49,948 --> 00:31:52,428 Speaker 1: the game was over, he did an interview with Tom 645 00:31:52,508 --> 00:31:55,388 Speaker 1: Ronaldi and was asked about being benched, and he handled 646 00:31:55,388 --> 00:31:59,548 Speaker 1: it with so much grace, with authentic love and appreciation 647 00:31:59,668 --> 00:32:03,148 Speaker 1: for Tuah and his team and for Nick Saban. Then 648 00:32:03,148 --> 00:32:05,868 Speaker 1: we go into the regular seat about eight to ten 649 00:32:05,908 --> 00:32:07,828 Speaker 1: months later, and Jamie, you and I were there on 650 00:32:07,868 --> 00:32:11,308 Speaker 1: the sidelines for this game. It was the SEC Championship two. 651 00:32:11,308 --> 00:32:14,668 Speaker 1: It gets injured, Hurts comes back into the game, helps 652 00:32:14,708 --> 00:32:16,988 Speaker 1: them win the game, and Jamie, I'll never forget the 653 00:32:17,028 --> 00:32:19,548 Speaker 1: interview that you were doing with Coach Saban. Jalen Hurts 654 00:32:19,628 --> 00:32:22,988 Speaker 1: after the game, he actually you and who are Jalen 655 00:32:23,468 --> 00:32:25,628 Speaker 1: kind of made Coach Saban start to cry. He got 656 00:32:25,628 --> 00:32:28,668 Speaker 1: all choked up because he understood who he was as 657 00:32:28,668 --> 00:32:31,788 Speaker 1: a human being. And Jalen had this quote and I'll 658 00:32:31,788 --> 00:32:34,828 Speaker 1: never forget it. He said, pour out of yourself and 659 00:32:35,068 --> 00:32:37,908 Speaker 1: into the team. That's what this guy is about. Sometimes 660 00:32:37,908 --> 00:32:41,228 Speaker 1: when you evaluate players, yes, the skills and tools are important, 661 00:32:41,428 --> 00:32:46,148 Speaker 1: but this guy is an absolute winner. Well it's a 662 00:32:46,148 --> 00:32:48,148 Speaker 1: really good point, and it's always it's a really lovely 663 00:32:48,148 --> 00:32:49,508 Speaker 1: story to look back on, but I think that was 664 00:32:49,548 --> 00:32:51,588 Speaker 1: a really hard moment for all of those men to 665 00:32:51,628 --> 00:32:53,908 Speaker 1: be in at that point. Nick Saban made a business 666 00:32:53,908 --> 00:32:56,828 Speaker 1: decision in that National Championship game against Georgia to put 667 00:32:56,828 --> 00:33:00,468 Speaker 1: Tua in when Alabama was down, and Averyan Hurts. Jalen's 668 00:33:00,468 --> 00:33:03,028 Speaker 1: father was on our show this week talking about how 669 00:33:03,068 --> 00:33:05,668 Speaker 1: that was Jalen's first introduction into how football is a 670 00:33:05,708 --> 00:33:08,428 Speaker 1: business and how he learned a very tough lesson over 671 00:33:08,468 --> 00:33:11,068 Speaker 1: the following eleven months to come back in for in 672 00:33:11,148 --> 00:33:13,628 Speaker 1: that game, but then to rise to the moment that 673 00:33:13,708 --> 00:33:16,508 Speaker 1: he is at now. All of those building blocks made 674 00:33:16,588 --> 00:33:18,588 Speaker 1: jillan Hurst the quarterback he is now, which Scott, to 675 00:33:18,628 --> 00:33:21,028 Speaker 1: your point, it's not just about lessons on the field, 676 00:33:21,028 --> 00:33:22,948 Speaker 1: it's about everything these young men go through off the 677 00:33:22,988 --> 00:33:27,668 Speaker 1: field as well that make them the player for sure. 678 00:33:27,748 --> 00:33:30,348 Speaker 1: And again that's what you want leading your team, going 679 00:33:30,348 --> 00:33:33,668 Speaker 1: through adversity and handling it maturely and handling it like 680 00:33:33,788 --> 00:33:37,188 Speaker 1: a team player. It's so critical. And again I have 681 00:33:37,228 --> 00:33:40,188 Speaker 1: so much respect for him the way his parents raised him, 682 00:33:40,428 --> 00:33:42,668 Speaker 1: the way he was raised in the football environment and 683 00:33:42,708 --> 00:33:45,508 Speaker 1: then in college and handled it from place to place. 684 00:33:45,868 --> 00:33:50,708 Speaker 1: Remarkable leader and great for the NFL. I know it's 685 00:33:50,708 --> 00:33:52,388 Speaker 1: our job to hype up this game, but this matchup 686 00:33:52,388 --> 00:33:54,868 Speaker 1: feels awesome this weekend. Scott Pioli, thank you for helping 687 00:33:54,908 --> 00:33:57,308 Speaker 1: us set the table. We look forward to more chats 688 00:33:57,308 --> 00:33:59,428 Speaker 1: about this game, looking ahead to it, and then also 689 00:33:59,788 --> 00:34:03,468 Speaker 1: recapping it next week with you.
