Surprise Surprise. Another firing in the National Football League, 12 00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:40,080 Speaker 2: one that you were foreshadowing yesterday, And you want to 13 00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:42,920 Speaker 2: do another victory lap note we had with Lamar Jackson. 14 00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:45,720 Speaker 3: I didn't take one yesterday. I was very humble, remember, yeah, 15 00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:46,479 Speaker 3: humble yesterday? 16 00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:49,560 Speaker 4: You were you were there was. 17 00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:53,720 Speaker 5: There was a uh. 18 00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:55,880 Speaker 2: An interesting tweet put out when John Harbaugh was fired 19 00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:58,960 Speaker 2: by the Ravens, who's by Adam Schefter, saying that seven 20 00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:05,440 Speaker 2: teams had reached out to him Harbaugh's agent inquiring about 21 00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:09,480 Speaker 2: his client services. At the time, there were six vacancies 22 00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:13,920 Speaker 2: in and plus the Baltimore Ravens. So there was a 23 00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:17,720 Speaker 2: team with a current head coach that was looking for 24 00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:20,760 Speaker 2: the possibility of getting a new head coach and was 25 00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:24,279 Speaker 2: interested in John Harbaugh. Would you say, would you guess, 26 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,160 Speaker 2: would you speculated? Did you think? 27 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:27,760 Speaker 4: Did you know? 28 00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:32,280 Speaker 2: Did you connect? The Miami Dolphins is maybe being that 29 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 2: team that reached out to John Harbaugh. 30 00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:37,039 Speaker 3: See, I'm going to continue my humble streak and say no, 31 00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:39,679 Speaker 3: I did not think that. I mean, And the reason 32 00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 3: behind it is obviously they got rid of the GM early, 33 00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:48,280 Speaker 3: they kept him around, and so obviously there were aspirations 34 00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:51,320 Speaker 3: or even fail safe set in place that if they 35 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:55,040 Speaker 3: you know, in discycle, they had there, they had a 36 00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:58,120 Speaker 3: guy that they were okay with rights. That's what that 37 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:02,880 Speaker 3: told me. But then you see the firing Harrorball and 38 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:04,840 Speaker 3: you said it, You said this that there were reports 39 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 3: that seven teams were already inquiring, and people were like, 40 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,200 Speaker 3: what they were already inquiring? He wasn't even fired yet, 41 00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:13,240 Speaker 3: So people around the league kind of had that inkling 42 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 3: that something should be a possibility there, and the fact 43 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 3: that Miami is one of those teams. 44 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:22,720 Speaker 4: It's man, it's it's crazy. When we talked about it. 45 00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,200 Speaker 3: Kind of for me, it kind of lends in the 46 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,720 Speaker 3: same space of kind of what we talked about yesterday 47 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 3: with college football and the head coaching and the players, 48 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,400 Speaker 3: and you know, you have these people on the contract 49 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,119 Speaker 3: or you have people that are signed on onto contracts 50 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:38,359 Speaker 3: to do a job, and then we say at the 51 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 3: end of the year, Okay, we're gonna get rid of 52 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,200 Speaker 3: the GM, but we're not. We're not getting rid of 53 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 3: you yet. We're gonna We're gonna see if we canna 54 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,400 Speaker 3: work this thing out. And then something else shinier or 55 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:50,240 Speaker 3: newer poss up and here's here's where we end up. 56 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,120 Speaker 3: Now where now it seems like Harball is their guy 57 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:54,960 Speaker 3: and the guy they want. Now it's gonna fall on 58 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,800 Speaker 3: if Harrball wants that job. But yeah, man, I didn't 59 00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:01,120 Speaker 3: see this being the immediate and for them in this 60 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:02,360 Speaker 3: this in this scenario, I. 61 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:03,240 Speaker 4: Think it would be fair. 62 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 2: And I want to ask Jason Stewart, like, when we 63 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,959 Speaker 2: were looking at what team as a current head coach 64 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 2: that could move on from their head coach now that 65 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,960 Speaker 2: John Harball was available, that hadn't already fired their coach, 66 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:20,640 Speaker 2: I would think playoff teams could be a possibility. And 67 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:24,920 Speaker 2: that's where I think the other thought process went. Would 68 00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 2: you would you say that Sean McDermott was a name 69 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 2: that maybe some thought, well, geez, if if Buffalo ends 70 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 2: up getting ousted, that Sean McDermott would be a guy. 71 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 4: Yeah. 72 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 6: The Bills I think were the were the team that 73 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 6: a lot of people just jumped to the conclusion, and 74 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,120 Speaker 6: who knows, they could very well be in play if 75 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:44,120 Speaker 6: you believe what Steve Ross said today that he just 76 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 6: sat with the coach and sat on it for a 77 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,960 Speaker 6: couple of days and came to this conclusion. Maybe Harbaugh 78 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 6: isn't a part of the calculus here and maybe the 79 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 6: team that is left is still in the playoffs. 80 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 2: And I think if you went down team by team 81 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 2: by playoffs, like the Seahawks aren't going to get rid 82 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 2: of Mike McDonald, absolutely Noters aren't getting rid of Kyle Shanahan, 83 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 2: the Rams aren't getting rid of Sean McVay. 84 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 4: Broncos not Peyton. 85 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,560 Speaker 2: Sean Bayton, No, Ben Johnson's going to be in Chicago, 86 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,840 Speaker 2: Nick si Rown, He's going to stay in Philadelphia. So 87 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 2: you go down then, yeah, go more in the AFC, 88 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 2: like Rabel's not going anywhere. Jim Harbaugh is not going 89 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 2: anywhere with the Chargers. Liam Cohen absolutely not going anywhere 90 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,240 Speaker 2: with Jacksonville. So yeah, so now you bring in, Okay, 91 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,560 Speaker 2: maybe was it with the Steelers, Well, the Steelers wouldn't 92 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 2: go after John Harboff, they were to remave place. Yeah, 93 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,520 Speaker 2: so let's let's take them off. Yeah, but there is 94 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 2: there is another team that's thrown in there, and that's 95 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 2: the Green Bay Packers. 96 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 4: Yeah, you looked at me with that. 97 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 2: Really, I'm not saying I'm just saying, that's all I'm saying, like, 98 00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 2: if you're if you have a current coach. And I'm 99 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,200 Speaker 2: not throwing this out there because my biggest issue is 100 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:48,600 Speaker 2: with the Miami Dolphins. We're gonna get to that a second. 101 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,719 Speaker 2: But my point is is we don't know if it 102 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,039 Speaker 2: was the Miami Dolphins, and it very well could have 103 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 2: been maybe the Buffalo Bills reaching out. It also could 104 00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:00,040 Speaker 2: have been maybe the Green Bay Packers. And the the 105 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 2: reason I bring that out is because I think Buffalo 106 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:04,920 Speaker 2: is a better situation than Miami is. And let's just 107 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,320 Speaker 2: say green Bay was like you know what, the Lafleur thing, 108 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,320 Speaker 2: there's something that's just not right there. There's something not 109 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:12,120 Speaker 2: connecting with the fans. How about John Harbaugh to come 110 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:14,600 Speaker 2: on in and do something like that would be like 111 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 2: if you were Green Bay, you were at policy now 112 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 2: the guy who's running the franchise, If you were Brian Goodokunz, 113 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 2: the general manager, you could say, when someone the caliber 114 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 2: of John Harbaugh becomes available, that's why we made this move, 115 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 2: and we brought him in like there would be reasoning 116 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,160 Speaker 2: for it. You wouldn't fire Matt Lafleur just for an 117 00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:37,200 Speaker 2: unknown offensive coordinator. The reason I'm bringing that all out 118 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,520 Speaker 2: is because I just think that the Miami Dolphins are 119 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,960 Speaker 2: an absolute mess. Carrie Rhodes. Now a quarter of the 120 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,800 Speaker 2: NFL is looking for head coaches. They don't have a 121 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:50,280 Speaker 2: quarterback right now, we don't know who their quarterback is yet. 122 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:53,719 Speaker 2: They were willing to wait a couple of days for 123 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 2: a lottery ticket, and that lottery ticket is John Harbaugh 124 00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 2: with no idea and if it's going to or not right. 125 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:05,080 Speaker 2: And it adds up to another litany of problems with 126 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 2: the Miami Dolphins, who have been so inept as a franchise, 127 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 2: from the leadership of ownership all the way down. I 128 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,200 Speaker 2: like Mike McDaniel. I really like Mike McDaniel, and it 129 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,040 Speaker 2: may be a reason why I'm worked up a little 130 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:22,560 Speaker 2: bit about this. I thought they really screwed Tua with 131 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,040 Speaker 2: the messaging when they benched him. I thought it was 132 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 2: an awful work of trying to sell a message that 133 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 2: we're out of the playoffs. Tua is the problem here. 134 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:35,440 Speaker 2: We're going to quinn Ewers. We're gonna go look at 135 00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 2: the young quarterback. We're not even give it, by the way, 136 00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 2: we're not even gonna give it to the backup Kep 137 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 2: Zach Wilson. Yeah, see you later, Zach. You know your 138 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:43,919 Speaker 2: turn in line has been skipped. We're gonna get it 139 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,680 Speaker 2: to quin Yours and guess what ends up happening. Quinn 140 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 2: Yours comes out and plays and actually beat the Tampa 141 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:54,560 Speaker 2: Bay Buccaneers who were in the think of the playoff hunt. Right. So, now, 142 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:58,480 Speaker 2: after a couple of days of deliberation with Mike McDaniel, 143 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 2: who may have had and may have done one of 144 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:02,960 Speaker 2: the greatest jobs that we've seen in the NFL and 145 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 2: making two a tongue of Iloa a viable quarterback with 146 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 2: that offense, taking them to back to back playoff berths 147 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:15,000 Speaker 2: in his first two years. Now after two years and 148 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 2: maybe to his game falling off after the multiple injuries 149 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:22,840 Speaker 2: and concussions that he has. Now it's Mike McDaniel's fault 150 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:26,200 Speaker 2: that the Dolphins aren't good enough all for a lottery 151 00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:29,960 Speaker 2: ticket to hopefully get John Harbaugh when there could be 152 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:35,120 Speaker 2: and quite possibly be, more appealing jobs throughout the NFL. Yeah, 153 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,320 Speaker 2: and that's what bothers me so much about it. Carry 154 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 2: and I'll get into the history of the Dolphins, but 155 00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 2: it's just the chance they're gonna get rid of McDaniel. 156 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 2: When messaging throughout the second half of the year when 157 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,720 Speaker 2: they fired Chris griw, was that McDaniel really the locker room, 158 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,520 Speaker 2: he likes him, he's doing well, and then when they 159 00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,600 Speaker 2: get eliminated, they end up getting a win with a 160 00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:56,160 Speaker 2: third string quarterback. I just think that the Dolphins did 161 00:07:56,240 --> 00:08:00,240 Speaker 2: him dirty. The Dolphins definitely did him dirty. And the 162 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:03,679 Speaker 2: thing here with me, Dan, I wouldn't see them taking 163 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:08,000 Speaker 2: this drastic of a of a step if they didn't 164 00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:09,680 Speaker 2: know they had a really good chance of getting the 165 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:13,360 Speaker 2: guy they want. Now, that would be my I think 166 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:15,640 Speaker 2: when I look at this from you know, a bird's 167 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:21,360 Speaker 2: eye view, I would say if everything failed down the 168 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:25,960 Speaker 2: stretch in a horrible way from Miami and they were 169 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:29,720 Speaker 2: still willing to keep Mike McDaniel in that spot, I 170 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:33,000 Speaker 2: would have an issue with it. But Mike McDaniel, I 171 00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 2: think did a I think he did a decent job 172 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 2: this year with all the things that were happening with 173 00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:40,680 Speaker 2: that team, all the communication issues, all the things that 174 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 2: happened throughout the year with Tua, his stuff on the podium, 175 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:47,280 Speaker 2: Tyreek Hill, all his problems all year, players that were 176 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 2: leaving talking about no loyalty to that franchise. I mean, 177 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 2: these are these are Pro Bowl players. These the players 178 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,640 Speaker 2: that were really good for them, right, so you know 179 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:58,120 Speaker 2: that there's something bigger than Mike Mike McDaniel's going on there. 180 00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:00,719 Speaker 4: And then to have all these things happened, to be 181 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:01,120 Speaker 4: off to. 182 00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:04,360 Speaker 3: The horrible start, to steady the ship and almost you know, 183 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,440 Speaker 3: beating the playoff hunt down the stretch was a masterful 184 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:10,720 Speaker 3: job by Mike McDaniels. I don't know, in my own 185 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 3: heart of hearts that he's a head coach. I think 186 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:17,000 Speaker 3: he's a great offensive coordinator. In my opinion, I think 187 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:19,800 Speaker 3: for him getting away from that situation is going to 188 00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:23,240 Speaker 3: beneficial for him. Now we talk about the Dolphins, They've 189 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:25,880 Speaker 3: been a lost calls. Forever I played against them, they 190 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:27,280 Speaker 3: were in my division. I saw him a lot. They 191 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:29,440 Speaker 3: were always pretty much in the bottom, you know, in 192 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:31,920 Speaker 3: the bottom of that except for the one year they 193 00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:34,120 Speaker 3: stowed our quarterback Chad Pennington and then they beat us 194 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:36,280 Speaker 3: and made it to the playoffs. But other than that, 195 00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:40,160 Speaker 3: they've just been, you know, a bad, badly run franchise 196 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,760 Speaker 3: with a lot of names and a lot of shiny 197 00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:45,240 Speaker 3: things and a lot of people. And that falls even 198 00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,559 Speaker 3: with the organization as well, Like they had all these 199 00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:49,240 Speaker 3: they got the Williams sisters, they got all these names, 200 00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:50,920 Speaker 3: and they got these people that are part of the 201 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:54,000 Speaker 3: ownership group there. They don't know about football and so 202 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:56,920 Speaker 3: who's making decisions there? And I think that's my biggest issue. 203 00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:58,439 Speaker 3: And if I was horrible, why would I go into 204 00:09:58,480 --> 00:09:58,959 Speaker 3: that situation? 205 00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,520 Speaker 2: Yeah? She was like, kids, it's a mess, and it 206 00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:03,520 Speaker 2: has been a mess. And I'm not going to aid 207 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,280 Speaker 2: you because I'm older than you, all right, But it's 208 00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 2: been a little bit since Carrie's been in the league. 209 00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,800 Speaker 2: And when you mentioned the Dolphins playoff, Berth, that is 210 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:15,040 Speaker 2: a high point. They won the AFC East in two 211 00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:18,360 Speaker 2: thousand and eight with Tony Sperano. Right, that was the year. 212 00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:19,360 Speaker 1: That was the year. 213 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:23,240 Speaker 4: That's two thousand and eight, two thousand and eight. 214 00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:27,520 Speaker 2: There are recruits going to college right now that we're 215 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:31,120 Speaker 2: born in two thousand and eight that are getting nil deals. 216 00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:34,120 Speaker 2: That's how long ago it was since Tony Sperano has 217 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,720 Speaker 2: been the head coach. This is what the Miami Dolphins 218 00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:39,559 Speaker 2: have put out there. Todd Bowles to go over for 219 00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,040 Speaker 2: a couple of games when Sperano was dismissed. Then he 220 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,800 Speaker 2: had Joe philbin oh nice winning percentage of four to 221 00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:47,640 Speaker 2: sixty two. Dan Campbell ended up having to finish the 222 00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,439 Speaker 2: year in twenty fifteen. He thought that he did a 223 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:51,880 Speaker 2: great job, but they didn't give it to him. 224 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:53,160 Speaker 4: Shame on them. 225 00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:55,199 Speaker 2: See what Dan Campbell has done now, he had the 226 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:58,800 Speaker 2: Adam Gase hiring ooh twenty three and twenty five and 227 00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:02,120 Speaker 2: that was actually a playoff. Berth did a playoff birth 228 00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:04,280 Speaker 2: with Matt Moore I think ended up being their quarterback 229 00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:08,160 Speaker 2: for the game against Pittsburgh. Brian Flores comes in winning 230 00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,920 Speaker 2: percentage of four ninety. Mike McDaniel winning percentage of five 231 00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:13,480 Speaker 2: point fifteen. I brought this up when they fired Chris 232 00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:18,920 Speaker 2: Greer mid season. Jimmy Johnson's tenure in Miami looked like 233 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:22,840 Speaker 2: a failure compared to what he did to the Dallas Cowboys. Yea, 234 00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,760 Speaker 2: compared to what Jimmy Johnson did with the Dolphins. To 235 00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,199 Speaker 2: everybody else that has been the head coach since he 236 00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:32,280 Speaker 2: left in nineteen ninety nine, it is a Hall of 237 00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:35,640 Speaker 2: fame resume. They went to the playoffs three times in 238 00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:36,439 Speaker 2: his four years? 239 00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:38,640 Speaker 4: Did they really? Yes? They did so. 240 00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:42,199 Speaker 2: They actually had success. They went three times in his 241 00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:44,719 Speaker 2: four years. Guess how many times they've been in the 242 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:48,280 Speaker 2: playoffs since. I won't even have you guess four times. 243 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 2: This organization and Steven Ross isn't fully to blaming ended 244 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,240 Speaker 2: up having a majority ownership of the team in two 245 00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:57,920 Speaker 2: thousand and nine. They probably held on a Chris Greer 246 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:01,520 Speaker 2: too long. Maybe ultimately decided we have to clean house. 247 00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:04,480 Speaker 2: But you make that decision when you fire the GM midseason, 248 00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:07,560 Speaker 2: to fire Mike McDaniel the day after, and Mike McDaniel 249 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:09,360 Speaker 2: may end up on his feet. He may end up 250 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:11,040 Speaker 2: being the next head coach of the Cleveland Browns. We 251 00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:13,640 Speaker 2: had heard about those links earlier at the end of 252 00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:16,440 Speaker 2: the regular season. But the fact is this is one 253 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:20,040 Speaker 2: of the most inept organizations, not only in the NFL 254 00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:23,240 Speaker 2: but in sports and having an understanding of how to succeed. 255 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,520 Speaker 2: And if it wasn't for the lowly sorry carry Jets 256 00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:29,560 Speaker 2: in their own division, I think we would be talking 257 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:31,920 Speaker 2: more about it. So it's not only just a Mike 258 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:35,200 Speaker 2: McDaniel got screwed sort of thing. This is a history 259 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:38,120 Speaker 2: with the Miami Dolphins where nothing is good. They don't 260 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:40,520 Speaker 2: go to the playoffs, they stink, and it's got to 261 00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,240 Speaker 2: start from somewhere, and it sure seems like it starts 262 00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:45,840 Speaker 2: at the top because they haven't been good for twenty 263 00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:46,520 Speaker 2: five years on. 264 00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:48,920 Speaker 4: I love what you're saying there. It all starts at 265 00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:49,439 Speaker 4: the top there. 266 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,280 Speaker 3: And you think you think about Miami as an organization, 267 00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:54,760 Speaker 3: you think about Miami as the city and when you 268 00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:57,360 Speaker 3: look at you said it certain places, I mean, the 269 00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:01,040 Speaker 3: Miami Heat have won championships there. When you look at 270 00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:03,760 Speaker 3: those games, are there people in the stands that people 271 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:06,720 Speaker 3: really care about that? Like you have some fan you know, yeah, 272 00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,400 Speaker 3: some chans that like it and come come to be 273 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:12,360 Speaker 3: seen at the games. But that's the energy in Miami, 274 00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:15,640 Speaker 3: and when you go there as players, I think a 275 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 3: lot of those guys aren't as committed and they have 276 00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:21,080 Speaker 3: all these things that are available to them, which sounds 277 00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:24,640 Speaker 3: weird because we're in La, right, and people win here 278 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:27,360 Speaker 3: in La. So if I'm saying that to say Dan, 279 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:30,640 Speaker 3: it's easily pointed at the players, and it's easily pointed 280 00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:33,400 Speaker 3: at Miami the city. But at the end of the day, 281 00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:35,960 Speaker 3: with the right people in the room, with the right 282 00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:39,080 Speaker 3: people making decisions, you can have a winner. So they've 283 00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:40,240 Speaker 3: had to fail from the top. 284 00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:41,240 Speaker 4: Yes, that's it. 285 00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:44,040 Speaker 2: That's the only answer to it. And I'll give you 286 00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:46,640 Speaker 2: an example that proves it. You just brought up the 287 00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:48,719 Speaker 2: heats and the success that they've had with maybe not, 288 00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:51,439 Speaker 2: I don't know. It's not a passive fan base. That's 289 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:53,079 Speaker 2: not what I'm saying. There is some glitz and glamor 290 00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:55,959 Speaker 2: to Miami Arena. You know who is passionate also with 291 00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:59,040 Speaker 2: their team, the Florida Panthers, who are back to back 292 00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:03,000 Speaker 2: Stanley Cup champions in South Florida as well, you know. 293 00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:05,959 Speaker 2: I mean it's and by the way, you know the 294 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:09,760 Speaker 2: heat played downtown. Dolphins aren't downtown. Neither's the Florida Panthers. 295 00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:11,880 Speaker 2: They're out in Sunrise in their own arena, but they 296 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:14,079 Speaker 2: figured out a way to have success. So it's not 297 00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:16,320 Speaker 2: just a this is where it is sort of thing. 298 00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:18,760 Speaker 2: You're right, It goes from the top. And honestly, I 299 00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:21,680 Speaker 2: blame the New England Patriots because we always looked and said, well, 300 00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:23,720 Speaker 2: what are they supposed to do? They're in the Patriots division. 301 00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:27,160 Speaker 2: So it's the Patriots greatness and the Jets ineptness that 302 00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:29,720 Speaker 2: has kind of masked how bad the Dolphins have been. 303 00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:32,640 Speaker 2: And unless you're a Dolphins fan or someone like me 304 00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:36,080 Speaker 2: or Jason Isaac that has grown up, when we actually 305 00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:39,440 Speaker 2: remember the Dolphins being good and being a legitimate playoff 306 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:41,360 Speaker 2: team and going to a super Bowl with Dan Marino, 307 00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:43,720 Speaker 2: you kind of get lost in it. But this is 308 00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:46,480 Speaker 2: this is par for the course for the Miami Dolphins 309 00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:49,280 Speaker 2: getting rid of Mike McDaniel for a lottery ticket on 310 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:50,320 Speaker 2: John Harbaugh. 311 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:51,360 Speaker 3: And in fact that that's the only thing that we 312 00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:54,480 Speaker 3: have as a as a litmus test for that franchise. 313 00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:57,120 Speaker 3: We always kind of go like default back to Dan Marino. 314 00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:57,560 Speaker 4: That's just. 315 00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:01,920 Speaker 2: Someone just gotta be someone else. Yeah, maybe to you, 316 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:04,880 Speaker 2: your guy Chad Pennington like that's me. Yeah right, that's 317 00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:07,680 Speaker 2: the only way to go. But just in EPNUS by 318 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:11,200 Speaker 2: the Miami Dolphins. We remember those glory days they were. 319 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:14,680 Speaker 2: The Dolphins even beat the Seahawks in the in the 320 00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:19,600 Speaker 2: AFC playoffs in nineteen ninety nine, and that was Dan 321 00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:23,320 Speaker 2: Marino's last victory. They beat the Seahawks. They were then 322 00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:27,479 Speaker 2: crushed by Jacksonville. I mentioned they had four playoff appearances. 323 00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:31,280 Speaker 2: For playoff games that they've had, this is their playoff history. 324 00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:33,680 Speaker 2: They made it in the two thousand playoffs two thousand 325 00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:35,280 Speaker 2: and one, two thousand and eight, two thousand and six, 326 00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:37,800 Speaker 2: twenty twenty two, and twenty twenty three. Have they won 327 00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:40,680 Speaker 2: a game they The last win came in the two 328 00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:44,840 Speaker 2: thousand playoffs December thirtieth, two thousand, in overtime win over 329 00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:48,120 Speaker 2: the Indianapolis Colts. That's the last playoff victory by the mine. 330 00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:50,800 Speaker 4: Who was the quarterback man two thousand puts on a 331 00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:51,160 Speaker 4: spot rep. 332 00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:52,560 Speaker 6: Was it Jay Fiedler? 333 00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:56,400 Speaker 4: I thought maybe it was Culpepper, but I couldn't remember. 334 00:15:57,360 --> 00:15:59,560 Speaker 6: I want to say I'm going to break between Culpepper 335 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:00,080 Speaker 6: and marine An. 336 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:04,640 Speaker 2: I'm going to bring up the they it was Jay 337 00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:09,960 Speaker 2: Fiedler A good job, Jay Fiedler, great job. They beat 338 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:12,800 Speaker 2: Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts in the playoff game 339 00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:19,320 Speaker 2: in two thousand two thousand, won the division. In two 340 00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:22,800 Speaker 2: thousand and eight, lost to the Ravens, lost to the 341 00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:25,080 Speaker 2: Steelers in that wild card game that I mentioned that 342 00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:27,720 Speaker 2: Matt morad to play in, and then they were in 343 00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:30,720 Speaker 2: the two playoffs back to back in McDaniel's first year. 344 00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:32,640 Speaker 2: One of those, I think he had Skyler Thompson starting 345 00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:36,600 Speaker 2: at quarterbacks that Bills games and so by the way, 346 00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:39,560 Speaker 2: they lost like thirty four to thirty one, so they 347 00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:41,400 Speaker 2: were at least competitive in the game when they really 348 00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:43,360 Speaker 2: didn't even have a starting quarterback. 349 00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:46,000 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio had the best sports talk lineup in 350 00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:48,760 Speaker 1: the nation.

Now, Welcome in. Carrie and I. 370 00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:41,760 Speaker 2: A little bit ago, we're talking about Giannis's comments and 371 00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:43,440 Speaker 2: how he doesn't want to be traded by the Bucks. 372 00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:46,440 Speaker 2: I made a comment saying that Jannis is the greatest 373 00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:50,920 Speaker 2: Buck ever and Mike tweet Tin, Yeah, I K yeah, 374 00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:54,720 Speaker 2: Mike tweet Tin, did you forget Kareem abdul Jabbar Louel 375 00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:56,880 Speaker 2: Sinder Isaac? Did you were you saying the same thing? 376 00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:57,320 Speaker 6: Yes? 377 00:17:57,560 --> 00:17:59,640 Speaker 1: And Oscar robertson the Big Oh. 378 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:05,480 Speaker 2: The value of what Joannison Tetecumpo has provided the Milwaukee 379 00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:10,200 Speaker 2: Bucks organization is bigger than I'm not talking about careers. 380 00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:13,439 Speaker 2: In the thirteen years that Kareem had spent with the Lakers, 381 00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:16,359 Speaker 2: he spent six years in Milwaukee, won a championship. You 382 00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:19,360 Speaker 2: mentioned Oscar Robertson, But this was a team, by the way, 383 00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:23,560 Speaker 2: that could have been the Seattle SuperSonics. They were a 384 00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:26,879 Speaker 2: team that could have been moved out of Milwaukee. New 385 00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:30,200 Speaker 2: ownership ends up coming in at one point taking over 386 00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:33,639 Speaker 2: building a new downtown arena. But let's be real, like 387 00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:38,440 Speaker 2: this team was not a who's who of the NBA. 388 00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:40,600 Speaker 2: They were a Who's that? Yeah, and they have been 389 00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:44,720 Speaker 2: a Who's that for a long long time. And of 390 00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:47,640 Speaker 2: all of the sports teams that I follow, some more 391 00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:49,480 Speaker 2: than others. When you're a kid, I think you have 392 00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:52,240 Speaker 2: a favorite team in every sport. You follow them passionately. 393 00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:54,840 Speaker 2: As you grow older, I think some sometimes fall by 394 00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:57,639 Speaker 2: the wayside. But I am a Bucks fan and I 395 00:18:57,720 --> 00:18:58,720 Speaker 2: went to Bucks games. 396 00:18:58,920 --> 00:18:59,080 Speaker 7: You know. 397 00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:00,800 Speaker 2: When I was in the high school was three and 398 00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:03,840 Speaker 2: a half hours, four hours, speed limit was only like sixty. 399 00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:07,760 Speaker 2: Then in college, same thing, would drive over to Milwaukee 400 00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:11,480 Speaker 2: from Madison and go to games. Of my sports teams 401 00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:14,159 Speaker 2: that I followed was a favorite of The one that 402 00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:16,560 Speaker 2: I just was resigned to the fact that they would 403 00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:19,920 Speaker 2: never ever win a title was the Milwaukee Bucks. 404 00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:20,480 Speaker 4: Wow. 405 00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:23,160 Speaker 2: I never ever thought in my lifetime I would ever 406 00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:26,600 Speaker 2: see the Milwaukee Bucks win a title. Now things change 407 00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:29,080 Speaker 2: second Aprons come in. Now the face of the NBA 408 00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:31,480 Speaker 2: is different, But this is also a time carry where 409 00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:36,359 Speaker 2: the league, dating back to Kareem and Oscar Robertson in 410 00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:41,040 Speaker 2: those days were Celtics driven, Lakers driven, Bulls driven like 411 00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:44,800 Speaker 2: Lakers driven again all the way through Lebron driven, if 412 00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:48,840 Speaker 2: you will. I never thought the Bucks were going to 413 00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:51,560 Speaker 2: be able to crack through and break through, and what 414 00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:55,960 Speaker 2: Giannis has done with that team, keeping them in Milwaukee 415 00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:59,720 Speaker 2: essentially having a future there. The downtown has been revitalized 416 00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:03,359 Speaker 2: for the great years that Kareem had in Kareem's full career. 417 00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:05,879 Speaker 2: Same thing with Oscar Robertson. It does not change what 418 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,520 Speaker 2: Giannis meant to Milwaukee and that city. I knew what 419 00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:10,119 Speaker 2: you meant, and that's why I didn't say anything on 420 00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:12,760 Speaker 2: the other side of it. I mean, obviously we know 421 00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:15,120 Speaker 2: Kareem and we know who he is and what he represents, 422 00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:17,320 Speaker 2: and Oscar Robinson as well. But as far as the 423 00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:19,840 Speaker 2: impact for that team, especially with Janni's he had a 424 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:22,200 Speaker 2: chance to leave and everybody thought he was gonna go 425 00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:24,200 Speaker 2: to a bigger market and go win a championship there. 426 00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:27,359 Speaker 2: He stayed in Milwaukee, won a championship, and that's undeniable 427 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:30,800 Speaker 2: for him to get it done there in that market 428 00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:35,080 Speaker 2: with that specific team, because that team, really they weren't 429 00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:36,920 Speaker 2: the best team. They had the best player in that 430 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:38,920 Speaker 2: series and that was Jiannas and they won a championship. 431 00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:42,400 Speaker 2: But I actually like in those teams to those other 432 00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:45,720 Speaker 2: fun exciting teams. With the Bucks when they had Sam Cassell, 433 00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:48,280 Speaker 2: Glenn Robinson and Ray Allen, that trio, they had a chance, 434 00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:51,240 Speaker 2: and so I kind of put them in that same category. 435 00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:51,920 Speaker 4: But he got it done. 436 00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:55,240 Speaker 8: Just curious where Dan would rank Paul mckeskey. 437 00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:59,200 Speaker 2: Love, Paul Mulkeske, He and Randy Brewer, you know, the 438 00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:01,520 Speaker 2: big mammoths in the in the middle. They had Jack 439 00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:05,840 Speaker 2: Sikma for a while, Jack Sigma over the top, yes 440 00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:09,200 Speaker 2: the bottom. The Bucks were that Randy Brewer was tall, lanky, 441 00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:12,320 Speaker 2: Mokeske was more beefy. Brewer was a thinner. But the 442 00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:15,639 Speaker 2: what how tall was mckesskey officially listed seven to two seven. 443 00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:16,640 Speaker 4: What was it at least? 444 00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:20,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, so he was a big guy. But yeah, good 445 00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:22,600 Speaker 2: old Paul mckeskey remember him. Well, do you know I 446 00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:25,320 Speaker 2: went to Doctor Jay's last game. It was against the 447 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:28,240 Speaker 2: Milwaukee Bucks in the eighty seven playoffs Game five Bucks 448 00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:31,639 Speaker 2: meet them too, So Doctor Jay's last game. I was, 449 00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:34,520 Speaker 2: I was, I was, I was present one final thing. 450 00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:39,040 Speaker 2: Uh Gally tweets in excuse me Alex, Alex Galley says, 451 00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:40,800 Speaker 2: why do you want draft picks so bad? 452 00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:44,040 Speaker 4: If you're the Bucks, they don't have any like that. 453 00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:47,760 Speaker 2: That's part of the problem is they've mortgaged their future 454 00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:51,560 Speaker 2: for the likes of Drew Holliday and then Damian Lillard. 455 00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:53,399 Speaker 2: So they don't have any draft picks and they're eleventh 456 00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:55,480 Speaker 2: right now in the East and they're not going anywhere. 457 00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:59,280 Speaker 2: Adding Zach Levine is not going to do anything except 458 00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:02,240 Speaker 2: postponed inevitable. So I would love for Giannis to be 459 00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:03,600 Speaker 2: a Buck for the rest of his life. It would 460 00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:06,080 Speaker 2: be great. But if he's a Buck from here on 461 00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:08,800 Speaker 2: into the end, they're never going to compete for a title, 462 00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:10,359 Speaker 2: and they may not even be competing in the East 463 00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:12,439 Speaker 2: because of his health. Like at some point that's going 464 00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:14,239 Speaker 2: to break down. So you take an asset that may 465 00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:16,720 Speaker 2: be declining and get something for it. It can help 466 00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:19,480 Speaker 2: you reset and look for brighter days ahead. Enough about that, 467 00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:22,840 Speaker 2: let's talk some football. The NFL playoffs will start on Saturday, 468 00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:26,960 Speaker 2: double header rams in Carolina to take on the Panthers 469 00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:30,280 Speaker 2: Packers taking on the Bears on Saturday night in the 470 00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:33,480 Speaker 2: game that is on Prime. When we look at what 471 00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:38,400 Speaker 2: we could be in store for that online has said 472 00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:42,440 Speaker 2: that the most probable Super Bowl matchup, the Super Bowl 473 00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:45,800 Speaker 2: matchup with the shortest odds are the two number one 474 00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:49,400 Speaker 2: overall seats right Seattle in Denver would be a Super 475 00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:52,679 Speaker 2: Bowl rematch from Super Bowl forty eight. But right now 476 00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:56,320 Speaker 2: that is plus seven point fifty. What I want to 477 00:22:56,400 --> 00:23:00,840 Speaker 2: know from you guys to make an argument on what 478 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:04,520 Speaker 2: would be the best Super Bowl matchup we get from 479 00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:06,280 Speaker 2: this fourteen team bracket. 480 00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:07,280 Speaker 4: I'll start it. 481 00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:09,280 Speaker 3: I'll start it Dan, all right, and I'll preface it 482 00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:12,760 Speaker 3: by saying it would be sold and pitched this way. 483 00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:19,840 Speaker 3: It would be legacy versus young gun. They get a 484 00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:24,160 Speaker 3: chance to meet in the NFL Championship in the Super Bowl. 485 00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:27,280 Speaker 3: We got a guy that's already wonted, a guy that's 486 00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:29,399 Speaker 3: trying to cement his legacy among the greats and be 487 00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:32,320 Speaker 3: remembered that way. We got a young gun that's stepping 488 00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:35,560 Speaker 3: into this arena, hoping for a long run, having some 489 00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:37,600 Speaker 3: success in the playoffs and getting to that big game 490 00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:41,040 Speaker 3: and actually getting over the top for that franchise. And 491 00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:45,760 Speaker 3: I'll say the two teams would be the Rams versus 492 00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:50,400 Speaker 3: the Chargers, Stafford versus Herbert, the Young guns the old 493 00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:54,360 Speaker 3: Gunslinger and Matthew Stafford and the Young Gunslinger and justin 494 00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:57,440 Speaker 3: Herbert dueling it out for a championship. I think that 495 00:23:57,520 --> 00:23:59,280 Speaker 3: would be the one that would sell it to me. 496 00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:01,679 Speaker 6: I don't know if you guys were thinking the same thing, 497 00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:04,760 Speaker 6: but I didn't know his pick. So I if you 498 00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:08,600 Speaker 6: take everything that you just described and you said, and 499 00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:10,480 Speaker 6: I don't want to say how anybody's up, but and 500 00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:12,800 Speaker 6: you said Steelers Bears, it would have fit the. 501 00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:14,680 Speaker 4: Exact same right point. 502 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:17,520 Speaker 6: I thought you were doing Aaron Rodgers and Cale Williams 503 00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:20,080 Speaker 6: the entire time, and then you trew me a curveball. 504 00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:20,119 Speaker 4: At the end. 505 00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:22,879 Speaker 2: This guy has been on a Rams kick, so I 506 00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:27,119 Speaker 2: figured it was Rams based in Matthew Stafford somehow was 507 00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:28,280 Speaker 2: being in factored in there. 508 00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:30,440 Speaker 4: I did not know what you were doing. On the 509 00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:31,840 Speaker 4: AFC side of things. 510 00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:35,720 Speaker 2: The All Los Angeles super Bowl in San Francisco, Boy, 511 00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:38,800 Speaker 2: that'd be rich for those in Southern California here, they 512 00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:39,440 Speaker 2: would love that. 513 00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:41,240 Speaker 8: By the way, if that happened, just move the game 514 00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:42,440 Speaker 8: to so far Yeah right. 515 00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:46,840 Speaker 2: Yes, seriously, save the travel. Actually maybe a little bit warmer, 516 00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:50,240 Speaker 2: maybe not as much rain. And All LA super Bowl, 517 00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:54,639 Speaker 2: according to bet online, is forty three to one. So 518 00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:58,800 Speaker 2: you like Rams Chargers, Jason. Oh wait, we've got a 519 00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:01,639 Speaker 2: hand lace. I love to etiquette. 520 00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:03,040 Speaker 5: I want to sam this up. 521 00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:04,520 Speaker 4: Iowa sam is here. 522 00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:08,320 Speaker 5: I think that the best Super Bowl matchup just has 523 00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:11,600 Speaker 5: to include the Buffalo Bills and Josh Allen because I 524 00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:14,560 Speaker 5: feel like I think he's he's the most He's the 525 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:16,520 Speaker 5: guy you put on the marquee. He's been the most 526 00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:18,440 Speaker 5: exciting player for the last couple of years. Him and 527 00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:21,200 Speaker 5: Lamar Jackson out of the AFC. He has to be 528 00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:22,520 Speaker 5: in the Super Bowl this year. 529 00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:23,159 Speaker 3: Uh. 530 00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:25,040 Speaker 5: And then if he's gonna take on a team, I'm 531 00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:27,160 Speaker 5: gonna say either like the Seahawks and their incredible defense 532 00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:32,000 Speaker 5: trying to wrangle him. Okay, this is because you said 533 00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:35,800 Speaker 5: you just said either, So I need you to pick one. 534 00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:39,320 Speaker 5: All right, so I'm going to go, uh my music's 535 00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:42,440 Speaker 5: ending here. I'm gonna go a orchestra stick around for 536 00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:47,520 Speaker 5: a while. Come on, Sam, Sorry, I'm pushing button. Drama, 537 00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:49,800 Speaker 5: the drama of it. This build, by the way, this 538 00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:52,639 Speaker 5: is the responsibility. I love the hand raised you saw it. 539 00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:54,560 Speaker 4: I love it. He wanted in. Yeah, he knew I 540 00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:57,160 Speaker 4: was going to Jason next, and he's like, oh Nell. 541 00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:02,600 Speaker 4: He was like, what Dellly what? Okay? Well, my final pick. 542 00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:04,040 Speaker 4: I'm gonna salmon up a little bit. 543 00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:06,480 Speaker 5: But I think because of the market and because they 544 00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:08,760 Speaker 5: have kind of similar playing styles at times, I'm gonna 545 00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:14,360 Speaker 5: actually say, Bears Bills, Bears Bills is the ideal Bears Bills. 546 00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:15,320 Speaker 4: You have two. 547 00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:21,360 Speaker 5: Very mobile electric quarterbacks. You have the number one overall pick, 548 00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:24,800 Speaker 5: you have the Heisman Trophy Winery, have the the Bears 549 00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:27,160 Speaker 5: rising up and getting the playoffs. Bears Bills. 550 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:30,040 Speaker 2: Give me Bears Bills, Bears Bills sixty two to one 551 00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:33,200 Speaker 2: right now. If that was to be a Super Bowl 552 00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:36,879 Speaker 2: Bear's bill, like, the super Bowl has to have the 553 00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:39,320 Speaker 2: Bills in it this year, it has to. Josh Allen 554 00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:41,760 Speaker 2: has to be in the super Bowl this year, I think, no, Chiefs, 555 00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:45,000 Speaker 2: I don't disagree with you. I actually I don't disagree 556 00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:48,560 Speaker 2: with that. Iowa Sam's in on his pick. Jason Stewart, 557 00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:50,880 Speaker 2: you have your ideal super Bowl pick. 558 00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:51,520 Speaker 4: Okay. 559 00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:54,920 Speaker 6: So the context of this is that I am on 560 00:26:55,200 --> 00:27:00,480 Speaker 6: like a a single manned journey to get the NFL 561 00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:04,000 Speaker 6: to realize that their product has been getting worse and worse. 562 00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:06,879 Speaker 6: If you listen to me or the show at all, 563 00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:09,719 Speaker 6: you know that that's my thing. And by the way, 564 00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:11,960 Speaker 6: the ratings coming out yesterday that they had the best 565 00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:15,800 Speaker 6: ratings since whatever. That's not going to change anything here. 566 00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:18,640 Speaker 6: But I want I want a I want an example 567 00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:20,560 Speaker 6: of something that the NFL is gonna be like, you 568 00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:24,560 Speaker 6: know what, we probably should change our product or try 569 00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:28,080 Speaker 6: to improve our product. So I'm I'm really rooting for 570 00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:31,400 Speaker 6: chaos here. I'm taking my loyalty to the Chargers out 571 00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:33,520 Speaker 6: of this. I'm going to say I want the Broncos 572 00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:38,280 Speaker 6: and I want the Bears. And so the Broncos and 573 00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:41,520 Speaker 6: Bears nobody predicted I think either to even like make 574 00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:44,320 Speaker 6: the playoffs. Maybe the Broncos a little bit, but the 575 00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:49,399 Speaker 6: Broncos are such an a bad good team like watching 576 00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:53,760 Speaker 6: the Broncos is really hard. It sucks, and unless you 577 00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:57,000 Speaker 6: have something writing on it, which is fantasy or gambling, 578 00:27:57,480 --> 00:27:59,880 Speaker 6: the Broncos are the worst watch in football. I think, 579 00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:02,720 Speaker 6: so the Broncos and the Bears and the Bears, it 580 00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:05,320 Speaker 6: would just be like nobody predicted this. What the hell 581 00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:08,280 Speaker 6: is the rookie doing in the Super Bowl. So that's 582 00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:09,720 Speaker 6: my pick. I'm rooting for chaos. 583 00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:12,879 Speaker 2: If if Sam and Jason had their wish of the 584 00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:16,040 Speaker 2: Bears are thinking of this ideal matchup, I think it 585 00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:18,520 Speaker 2: would then start maybe a forty year trend of the 586 00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:22,240 Speaker 2: possibility of like Caleb's being in the Super Bowl, the Caleb's, 587 00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:26,119 Speaker 2: the Colton's, the Aiden's, like we're gonna be We're moving 588 00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:30,920 Speaker 2: away from the John and Joe's right, yes, and Tom's 589 00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:32,000 Speaker 2: see you later. 590 00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:34,800 Speaker 4: We're getting into the you know this is Ashton, right, 591 00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:39,240 Speaker 4: we have j We've had Jalen, Jalen Hurts, Yes, jal But. 592 00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:42,000 Speaker 2: That's I would think that that's even like an older name, 593 00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:44,320 Speaker 2: Like I just feel like there's like we're gonna get 594 00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:47,160 Speaker 2: We're gonna get a Tristan in the as a quarterback 595 00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:49,960 Speaker 2: in the talent of the Super Bowl, right, Yes, I 596 00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:50,560 Speaker 2: could see it. 597 00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:52,600 Speaker 4: I could see it. 598 00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:55,680 Speaker 2: That's those are the names that we're gonna get used to, 599 00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:58,360 Speaker 2: and I feel like I feel Caleb is a part 600 00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:01,120 Speaker 2: of that transition. Like's not by the way, there's not 601 00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:03,360 Speaker 2: gonna be like tons of Josh is down maybe in Buffalo, 602 00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:07,120 Speaker 2: maybe maybe being born in Buffalo. Yes, but I just 603 00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:08,680 Speaker 2: don't think it's a name that we're going to see 604 00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:09,959 Speaker 2: thirty and forty years from now. 605 00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:12,520 Speaker 7: Isaac, Oh, you're sending me down a rabbit hole with 606 00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:21,400 Speaker 7: these names. Yes, come back, come back, Ezra Cedar is 607 00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:23,520 Speaker 7: going to be a popular one for you already broken 608 00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:23,920 Speaker 7: into the head. 609 00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:27,960 Speaker 4: Nope, Nope, we just liked the name, all right. 610 00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:34,120 Speaker 8: So I'm biased. I'm gonna say Chargers personally, but my 611 00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:37,640 Speaker 8: choices are going to be who I think the networks 612 00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:41,160 Speaker 8: want as a Super Bowl matchup, So NBC in this case, 613 00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:44,120 Speaker 8: because when you're talking about a Super Bowl matchup, you're 614 00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:49,719 Speaker 8: looking for stars and storylines. Yes, now, personally, no offense 615 00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:52,680 Speaker 8: to a team like the forty nine ers. They're an 616 00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:57,600 Speaker 8: outstanding football team, but I don't think they have great storylines. 617 00:29:57,640 --> 00:29:59,360 Speaker 8: And I think people are kind of tired of them 618 00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:02,400 Speaker 8: being on the Super because they've already been twice in 619 00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:07,520 Speaker 8: the last six years. So the Broncos and Seahawks are 620 00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:10,480 Speaker 8: the one seeds, but I don't think they're as compelling 621 00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:13,680 Speaker 8: as others in the bracket no offense. Now, for that reason, 622 00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:17,240 Speaker 8: the NFC, I'm gonna go with the Rams because they've 623 00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:23,200 Speaker 8: got the stars, Sean McVeigh, Matthew Stafford, Davante Adams, McVeigh 624 00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:26,200 Speaker 8: with a chance to win his second Super Bowl along 625 00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:29,760 Speaker 8: with Stafford, who could be the MVP. And then on 626 00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:32,640 Speaker 8: the AFC side, even though they're the sixth seed, I'm 627 00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:35,360 Speaker 8: gonna say the Buffalo Bills because you'd have the storyline 628 00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:37,480 Speaker 8: of Josh Allen making it to the Super Bowl for 629 00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:40,520 Speaker 8: the first time ever, and then you have the dynamic 630 00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:44,520 Speaker 8: of the four straight Super Bowl losses a generation and 631 00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:48,040 Speaker 8: a go, and then you have the dynamic of Bill's 632 00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:54,640 Speaker 8: Mafia taking Northern California by storm, folding tables, getting crushed 633 00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:58,200 Speaker 8: in the parking lot. So because of that, I would 634 00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:03,720 Speaker 8: say that the at work is rooting for a Bills 635 00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:07,160 Speaker 8: Rams Super Bowl, especially when you have the Rams as 636 00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:09,200 Speaker 8: the number two media market in the country. 637 00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:10,040 Speaker 4: I like it. 638 00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:14,880 Speaker 2: I think it would be the most entertaining game for 639 00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:17,640 Speaker 2: how it plays out. I think that that is very fair. 640 00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:21,760 Speaker 2: That's eighteen to one right now, Oh, Rams Bills, eighteen 641 00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:25,239 Speaker 2: to one. I every day. I don't know Jason if 642 00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:28,280 Speaker 2: you feel the same way, but there's something that's happened 643 00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:30,440 Speaker 2: every day I think in this football season or I'm 644 00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:33,160 Speaker 2: just so glad we went to Buffalo in September. And 645 00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:36,440 Speaker 2: one of the reasons is something that Isaac just brought 646 00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:40,160 Speaker 2: up of this takeover. I don't think people realize on 647 00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:43,120 Speaker 2: how if the Bills were to make a Super Bowl, 648 00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:46,640 Speaker 2: how that entire city and stadium would be taken over 649 00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:51,280 Speaker 2: by the Buffalo Bills, even if it's across the entire 650 00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:54,880 Speaker 2: country in San Francisco, it would be, it would be 651 00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:59,360 Speaker 2: it would be an overload of Bills fans in the 652 00:31:59,440 --> 00:31:59,880 Speaker 2: Bay Area. 653 00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:00,840 Speaker 4: Isaac is absolutely. 654 00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:03,520 Speaker 5: I mean they'd circle the wagons, right, It'd be like 655 00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:05,280 Speaker 5: the wagon train out to the West Coast. 656 00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:05,800 Speaker 9: Yeah. 657 00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:07,800 Speaker 8: No, I remember this from when they were in town 658 00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:10,320 Speaker 8: to locally in LA to play both the Rams and 659 00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:15,640 Speaker 8: the Chargers, there literally had to be extra beer shipments 660 00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:20,120 Speaker 8: to Los Angeles for Bill's mafia's favorite beers like they 661 00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:23,800 Speaker 8: like Canadian beers like La Bats and Molson. They literally 662 00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:26,880 Speaker 8: had to ship in extra beer to accommodate all the 663 00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:27,560 Speaker 8: Bills fans. 664 00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:28,040 Speaker 4: That's graaty. 665 00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:30,360 Speaker 3: Sam was saying something about the wagons coming out here. Yes, 666 00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:33,320 Speaker 3: there'll be wagons. They'll just be g wagons. Now they 667 00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:35,080 Speaker 3: won't be It. 668 00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:36,640 Speaker 2: Won't take a year to get here, saying all right, 669 00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:39,520 Speaker 2: all right, yeah here, And as Chris Berman would say, 670 00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:43,080 Speaker 2: no one circles the wagons like the Buffalo Bills. 671 00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:43,920 Speaker 4: Right, that's right. 672 00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:48,480 Speaker 2: And for years and years, what did Chris Berman picks 673 00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:53,400 Speaker 2: his Super Bowl matchup? Year after year after year? It 674 00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:56,840 Speaker 2: was the Buffalo Bills against the San Francisco forty nine ers. 675 00:32:56,920 --> 00:33:01,280 Speaker 2: Gerry knows it, year after year after year after year. 676 00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:03,520 Speaker 2: I think he still does it, to be honest with you, 677 00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:06,280 Speaker 2: and he probably did it this year. And I think 678 00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:10,360 Speaker 2: that matchup, because of the home stadium factor of the 679 00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:14,400 Speaker 2: forty nine ers, like the stadium electricity, I think would 680 00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:17,480 Speaker 2: be different than maybe any of the other previous Super 681 00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:20,360 Speaker 2: Bowls that we had. Remember the two home game Super 682 00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:24,760 Speaker 2: Bowls that we had, Rams and Bengals. Yeah it's the Rams. 683 00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:28,400 Speaker 2: The one in Tampa with the Buccaneers and Chiefs. It 684 00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:31,560 Speaker 2: was a quarter of the stadium was full, remember, because 685 00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:34,400 Speaker 2: of COVID, so you only had like twenty five percent capacity, 686 00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:36,920 Speaker 2: so it really wasn't a home field advantage. I think 687 00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:39,320 Speaker 2: you would get a true electric atmosphere. This is me 688 00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:41,240 Speaker 2: obviously taking my Seahawks out of it. 689 00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:42,800 Speaker 4: I don't care. 690 00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:44,760 Speaker 2: I would love it if the Seahawks played the Mets 691 00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:47,120 Speaker 2: in the like, I don't care, just go to the 692 00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:50,080 Speaker 2: super Bowl. But for what I think the NFL would 693 00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:54,600 Speaker 2: want and what could present the best game for the fans, 694 00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:57,040 Speaker 2: give me Chris Berman's pick of the Bills in forty 695 00:33:57,120 --> 00:33:57,400 Speaker 2: nine ers. 696 00:33:57,480 --> 00:33:58,840 Speaker 4: What's so crazy about that? 697 00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:02,440 Speaker 3: Dan Is and everybody when I was saying mine in 698 00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:06,880 Speaker 3: the beginning just kind of assumed it was the Bills. Well, 699 00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:10,239 Speaker 3: if the Bills don't make it, would it be that 700 00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:11,719 Speaker 3: one of the biggest disappointments. 701 00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:14,160 Speaker 4: I Yes, I think. 702 00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:16,919 Speaker 2: I think if the Bills lose this Sunday, no one's 703 00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:18,400 Speaker 2: gonna give a rip about the AFC. 704 00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:21,279 Speaker 3: Wow, And they're going, Dan, They're going to lose the 705 00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:23,480 Speaker 3: Sunday then they might Yeah, they you know what I mean? Yes, 706 00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:25,799 Speaker 3: And that's I don't I don't think they have enough 707 00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:28,560 Speaker 3: to be Jacksonville. But I love the whole story of 708 00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:30,239 Speaker 3: Josh getting the chance to do it as well. So 709 00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:32,719 Speaker 3: I mean it's not like I prefer anybody, you know. 710 00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:35,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, and no disrespect to the Chargers fans, So I 711 00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:38,640 Speaker 2: completely disrespect it. And I'm looking across the glass too. 712 00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:41,520 Speaker 2: But I just think that Buffalo Buffalo is such an 713 00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:47,320 Speaker 2: overwhelming story that without them in it and losing so early, Like, 714 00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:50,000 Speaker 2: if they win, it's kind of like a multiplier thing. 715 00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:53,399 Speaker 2: If they win, now it's multiplied by ten because you're like, wow, 716 00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:56,080 Speaker 2: it's wid open form and look, they just want to Jacksonville. 717 00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:58,040 Speaker 2: Maybe this is their run. And then if they were 718 00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:00,879 Speaker 2: to win again, then it's multiplied after that and makes 719 00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:03,440 Speaker 2: the whole AFC playoff picks are exciting. But if they 720 00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:06,720 Speaker 2: don't win, I just think that it's a it's a clunker, 721 00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:09,000 Speaker 2: and we're focused on the great matchups we're getting in 722 00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:09,399 Speaker 2: the NFC. 723 00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:11,920 Speaker 6: Yeah, I do hope that the Bills are playing a 724 00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:15,680 Speaker 6: home game in the division. That means the Chargers would 725 00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:17,799 Speaker 6: have won, right, the Chargers would go back and play 726 00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:20,000 Speaker 6: the Bills. Yeah, that would be awesome. I want to 727 00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:22,759 Speaker 6: change my pick for the record. For the person that's 728 00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:25,200 Speaker 6: taking the record, we have a what do you call 729 00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:29,399 Speaker 6: those people in the courtroom? A stenographer, scenographer, I want 730 00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:32,160 Speaker 6: to pick the Seahawks. Take give me the two top seeds. 731 00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:34,560 Speaker 6: That would be the worst super Bowl at all, thank you. 732 00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:38,919 Speaker 6: So rematch former AFC West rivalry. Oh yeah, great point. 733 00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:42,680 Speaker 6: And the Kingdome has both teams at times were actually 734 00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:45,399 Speaker 6: all the time. They've played in mud all season one, 735 00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:46,439 Speaker 6: So that'll be a great watch. 736 00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:50,600 Speaker 3: Russell Wilson play with both, I tease, Yeah, nice, the 737 00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:51,759 Speaker 3: Russell Wilson Bowl. 738 00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:54,000 Speaker 2: Call it the Drew Lock Bowl because he's on the 739 00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:57,479 Speaker 2: Seahawks right now. The UH, the word the long shot 740 00:35:57,520 --> 00:35:57,960 Speaker 2: of the odds. 741 00:35:58,000 --> 00:35:58,520 Speaker 4: I teased it. 742 00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:03,120 Speaker 2: I said, Panthers Steelers fourteen hundred and forty three to one. 743 00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:08,080 Speaker 2: In fact, the Panthers have the longest odds of the 744 00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:12,360 Speaker 2: UH in their matchups against every other. So the Patriots 745 00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:15,360 Speaker 2: against the Bills, against the Texans, against the Jaguars, against 746 00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:18,600 Speaker 2: the Chargers against the Steelers are the longest odds of 747 00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:21,840 Speaker 2: anybody of making it into the Super Bowl, of that 748 00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:23,080 Speaker 2: being the actual Super Bowl. 749 00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:24,680 Speaker 4: That's a fact. 750 00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:28,160 Speaker 2: Yes, it's a long long shot that Sorry, Carolina, it's 751 00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:30,800 Speaker 2: just not in the cards for you. Ye, Carolina against 752 00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:32,759 Speaker 2: Denver is a two hundred and forty six to one 753 00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:36,320 Speaker 2: shot as is forty nine Ers against the Steelers.

But when we 811 00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:25,239 Speaker 2: would talk about Oregon, he was from kind of what 812 00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:27,640 Speaker 2: I feel was kind of like the launch of Oregon. 813 00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:30,600 Speaker 2: You were there at the end of the Ballotti era. 814 00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:34,000 Speaker 2: Then it's Chip Kelly and now Dan Lanning obviously carried 815 00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:37,000 Speaker 2: carrying the torch. What was it like to be an 816 00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:41,280 Speaker 2: Oregon Duck in a program that was just skyrocketing to relevance? 817 00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:43,239 Speaker 2: And important in college football during your time. 818 00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:46,960 Speaker 9: I think it was authentic, you know what I'm saying, 819 00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:51,200 Speaker 9: Like you got the college experience. You got the college 820 00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:55,839 Speaker 9: experience in a liberal town where you know, people are 821 00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:58,280 Speaker 9: just and you know they enjoyed you for being a person. 822 00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:02,640 Speaker 9: We weren't really viewed as you know, oh, like celebrities 823 00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:05,480 Speaker 9: because it wasn't that time even with social media. Right, 824 00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:11,000 Speaker 9: like you're you're you are tucked away enough, but also 825 00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:16,320 Speaker 9: you're becoming innovative with Nike and all the uniforms and 826 00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:19,840 Speaker 9: all the resources, and so you're basically just you know, 827 00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:23,239 Speaker 9: the college experience at Oregon was one that was just 828 00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:28,000 Speaker 9: something very authentic, and you know, being able to be 829 00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:30,880 Speaker 9: a part of that growth and and and the uniform 830 00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:34,400 Speaker 9: changes and and and taking a chance of you know, 831 00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:39,520 Speaker 9: being different. You know it helped took me tremendously, just 832 00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:42,080 Speaker 9: as my personality grew as a as a young adult 833 00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:43,760 Speaker 9: and to a man, you know, taking chances. 834 00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:46,200 Speaker 2: Sure, And and that's that's kind of what I'm curious 835 00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:49,880 Speaker 2: about too, because like you'll be humble, but like you 836 00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:52,759 Speaker 2: were it like like everybody wanted you coming out of 837 00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:54,719 Speaker 2: high school. I mean, you know, you we're talking at 838 00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:57,279 Speaker 2: USC P Carrol, We're talking the Ohio states of the world, 839 00:40:57,760 --> 00:41:02,320 Speaker 2: like everybody wanted you. And it's not a knock against Oregon. 840 00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:04,400 Speaker 2: It's just like the way that we see Oregon now 841 00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:07,000 Speaker 2: in twenty twenty six was even different than it was, 842 00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:08,319 Speaker 2: say twenty years ago. 843 00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:10,080 Speaker 4: Was that all into that? 844 00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:10,480 Speaker 7: Was? 845 00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:13,160 Speaker 2: Like, were you just not into like the the flash 846 00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:16,440 Speaker 2: of maybe a USC or the hype machine that can 847 00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:19,320 Speaker 2: be Ohio State. Is that what appealed to you about Oregon? 848 00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:23,160 Speaker 9: Yeah? Maybe so, Like I mean, I thought to myself, 849 00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:27,520 Speaker 9: being at Oregon, there's a little bit more focused, you know, 850 00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:31,239 Speaker 9: being a college athlete, you know, leaving high school, you know, 851 00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:34,560 Speaker 9: your your focus is. Okay, I'm a student athlete. I'm 852 00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:36,640 Speaker 9: a student athlete. I want to be focused, but I 853 00:41:36,719 --> 00:41:39,000 Speaker 9: also want to coaching, and I want an opportunity. I 854 00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:43,640 Speaker 9: want some exposure and an organ Look at it, it's 855 00:41:44,360 --> 00:41:45,799 Speaker 9: it has all those things. 856 00:41:46,320 --> 00:41:47,279 Speaker 4: In the right way. 857 00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:51,600 Speaker 9: If you're a good football player, you'll be seen partly 858 00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:56,000 Speaker 9: because you have a program that has the resources to 859 00:41:56,080 --> 00:41:59,759 Speaker 9: get you there. You know coach Billotti and his and 860 00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:04,560 Speaker 9: his you know coaching Tree. You know those guys really 861 00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:09,759 Speaker 9: they knew ball right and in their own legendary ways, 862 00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:12,400 Speaker 9: and so I mean it was an easy decision if 863 00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:15,160 Speaker 9: you think about it back then. I think now it's 864 00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:19,279 Speaker 9: probably even more so. You know, a reason why a 865 00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:21,120 Speaker 9: kid would want to go to Oregon and a family 866 00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:24,160 Speaker 9: to want to choose the Oregon because of those those 867 00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:26,960 Speaker 9: very things, not a lot of distractions, and you go 868 00:42:27,040 --> 00:42:30,320 Speaker 9: to one place and you're able to have an authentic experience. 869 00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:32,880 Speaker 3: Well, Johnathan, let's talk about your NFL team. You you 870 00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:36,000 Speaker 3: ended up with the Carolina Panthers and obviously had some 871 00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:39,640 Speaker 3: success there. This team now is I mean they kind 872 00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:41,800 Speaker 3: of won the division by defaults. I mean, you know 873 00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:43,560 Speaker 3: they they had a chance to win it out right, 874 00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:45,959 Speaker 3: They lost the last game, got some help. 875 00:42:46,120 --> 00:42:47,960 Speaker 4: They're in the playoffs, and we know you're getting it. 876 00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:49,520 Speaker 4: You get in the playoffs, you have a chance. 877 00:42:50,239 --> 00:42:52,000 Speaker 3: This team, they're going to be playing the Rams, who 878 00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:55,040 Speaker 3: a lot of people see can be a super Bowl team. 879 00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:57,800 Speaker 3: What is Bryce Jong going to have to do in 880 00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:02,040 Speaker 3: this game? Specifically, because I've been a Bryce admirer. 881 00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:03,600 Speaker 4: I like his story. 882 00:43:03,640 --> 00:43:05,120 Speaker 3: I like how you have to struggle a little bit 883 00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:08,279 Speaker 3: and find some consistency through the hard work and through 884 00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:08,800 Speaker 3: the trenches. 885 00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:10,560 Speaker 4: And now he's a playoff quarterback. 886 00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:12,480 Speaker 3: No matter what the record is, how are they going 887 00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:14,760 Speaker 3: to have a chance to beat and upset the Rams 888 00:43:14,880 --> 00:43:15,400 Speaker 3: this Saturday? 889 00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:18,600 Speaker 9: Yeah, you know, I'm gonna start with the running game. 890 00:43:19,600 --> 00:43:24,320 Speaker 9: The running game hasn't been present, you know, in recent times, 891 00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:27,799 Speaker 9: and due to the offensive line chemistry issues that they've 892 00:43:27,840 --> 00:43:32,080 Speaker 9: been receiving all year, and also just you know the depth. 893 00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:34,000 Speaker 9: You know, guys are banged up right now at that 894 00:43:34,160 --> 00:43:36,600 Speaker 9: point of the season, so you kind of have to 895 00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:39,920 Speaker 9: figure out ways to get creative to find running labers 896 00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:42,520 Speaker 9: to these running backs. Because when you do that, you're 897 00:43:42,560 --> 00:43:45,440 Speaker 9: able to win on first downs, You're you're able to 898 00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:51,400 Speaker 9: keep the chains moving and that fall behind because the 899 00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:54,759 Speaker 9: way that we beat this team is bryce taking care 900 00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:57,359 Speaker 9: of the ball. The ball can't be in their hands 901 00:43:57,400 --> 00:43:59,680 Speaker 9: and it can't be on the ground, and that's fumble 902 00:43:59,719 --> 00:44:03,080 Speaker 9: snap stats, you know, handoffs, that's you know, getting chased 903 00:44:03,080 --> 00:44:06,160 Speaker 9: from behind, whatever it is. You have to have more 904 00:44:06,200 --> 00:44:10,400 Speaker 9: awareness about that and care and then you know, you 905 00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:12,880 Speaker 9: got to make sure you you're gonna have three to 906 00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:16,880 Speaker 9: five opportunities this game to connect on some deep shots, 907 00:44:17,120 --> 00:44:19,200 Speaker 9: on some big plays, and you have to take advantage 908 00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:22,799 Speaker 9: of all of them. So I think For Bryce, it's 909 00:44:22,880 --> 00:44:25,799 Speaker 9: just playing his game, whatever he has been good at 910 00:44:25,880 --> 00:44:30,560 Speaker 9: this year. You do that and you know opportunities will come. 911 00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:32,880 Speaker 4: Dan, are you surprised that a Running Backs started with 912 00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:33,440 Speaker 4: the running Game? 913 00:44:33,480 --> 00:44:33,520 Speaker 7: No? 914 00:44:33,680 --> 00:44:38,680 Speaker 4: Not at all. Absolutely right, Well, I know what it is. Well, 915 00:44:38,719 --> 00:44:39,920 Speaker 4: I was gonna say, how different? 916 00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:42,360 Speaker 2: How different is it from what you and D'Angelo Williams 917 00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:44,839 Speaker 2: did back in your day in Carolina to what rico'donnell 918 00:44:44,880 --> 00:44:46,280 Speaker 2: and Chuba Hubbard are not trying. 919 00:44:46,080 --> 00:44:46,680 Speaker 4: To do this year. 920 00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:49,759 Speaker 9: I mean, you know, that's the same mentality we had. 921 00:44:49,800 --> 00:44:51,640 Speaker 9: You know, you know exactly what we're about to do. 922 00:44:52,239 --> 00:44:55,759 Speaker 9: Our offensive line is prepared and you have to go 923 00:44:55,880 --> 00:44:58,040 Speaker 9: through them before you get to us. And once you 924 00:44:58,120 --> 00:45:00,200 Speaker 9: get to us, you better hope you're now in the 925 00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:00,799 Speaker 9: second level. 926 00:45:01,040 --> 00:45:08,320 Speaker 4: Right, Hold up, Ja Stu? Slow down, slow down? And no, 927 00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:10,399 Speaker 4: he was a little sorry. Go ahead. I was gonna say, 928 00:45:10,440 --> 00:45:13,520 Speaker 4: did you guys match up where there where there? Yeah? Yeah? 929 00:45:13,560 --> 00:45:16,520 Speaker 4: Do you remember playing against Carry Roads Jonathan Stewart. 930 00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:24,759 Speaker 9: Man, look, hey man, look focused on. 931 00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:31,000 Speaker 4: Interesting. Carrie is more than anxious to talk about it. No, no, no, no, no, 932 00:45:31,239 --> 00:45:33,759 Speaker 4: Ja Stu. When I when I think about that, those 933 00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:34,399 Speaker 4: teams for real? 934 00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:36,560 Speaker 3: Though, he said it though the one two punch between 935 00:45:36,680 --> 00:45:39,279 Speaker 3: him and in Dangela Williams was It's just it was, 936 00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:42,000 Speaker 3: it was it was tough to prepare against, right, you know, 937 00:45:42,239 --> 00:45:44,080 Speaker 3: you know, Jay Stue's gonna come downhill. He's going to 938 00:45:44,120 --> 00:45:47,120 Speaker 3: be aggressive, physical. D Angela Williams. Even though people see 939 00:45:47,160 --> 00:45:49,200 Speaker 3: him as a quicker guy, a god that can make 940 00:45:49,239 --> 00:45:51,000 Speaker 3: you miss, he could he can bring a little umph 941 00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:51,399 Speaker 3: as well. 942 00:45:51,520 --> 00:45:54,160 Speaker 4: So yeah, exactly, yeah. 943 00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:57,600 Speaker 9: Really breaking tackle he's like, you know, get him to 944 00:45:57,640 --> 00:46:00,800 Speaker 9: the second level to be a touchdown up like, and 945 00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:04,160 Speaker 9: it's not because your guys are bad, just because he's 946 00:46:04,239 --> 00:46:07,800 Speaker 9: really good contact balance, you know, to have that breakaway 947 00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:10,840 Speaker 9: speed unshaken. That's what really made him spression. 948 00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:13,440 Speaker 2: Well, it was the Carolina defense that turned Matthew Stafford 949 00:46:13,480 --> 00:46:15,719 Speaker 2: in the Rams over three times in the regular season win. 950 00:46:15,960 --> 00:46:18,000 Speaker 2: We'll see if the defense is up to the challenge Saturday. 951 00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:19,359 Speaker 2: We'll see if the Ducks are up to the challenge 952 00:46:19,400 --> 00:46:21,600 Speaker 2: Tomorrow night in the Peach Bowl in the College Football 953 00:46:21,600 --> 00:46:24,640 Speaker 2: Playoff semi final against Indiana. Jonathan, good luck with the 954 00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:27,960 Speaker 2: honorary duties and we'll talk to you against soon. 955 00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:29,520 Speaker 4: Are love it man. Thank you. 956 00:46:30,040 --> 00:46:33,399 Speaker 2: Jonathan Stewart, former NFL running back, former Oregon Duck running back, 957 00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:35,000 Speaker 2: one of the top recruits in the country. It is 958 00:46:35,040 --> 00:46:37,759 Speaker 2: coming out of high school, went to Oregon, left the game, 959 00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:41,880 Speaker 2: seventeen hundred yard season at Oregon, entered the NFL Draft, 960 00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:44,759 Speaker 2: decade in the NFL with the Panthers. And yeah, now 961 00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:47,160 Speaker 2: the honorary captain for tomorrow's content, Were you. 962 00:46:47,200 --> 00:46:50,239 Speaker 4: Upset he didn't go to Ohio State. Yeah, because I 963 00:46:50,320 --> 00:46:53,320 Speaker 4: heard that. Yes, I thought that he was. It was surprised. 964 00:46:53,840 --> 00:46:54,799 Speaker 4: Could have asked him as well. 965 00:46:54,880 --> 00:46:57,400 Speaker 2: But he's a you know, he's a Washington kid, you know, 966 00:46:57,560 --> 00:47:00,279 Speaker 2: but going to Oregon you stay a little closer at home. 967 00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:02,480 Speaker 4: But you know, didn't go to the went to the 968 00:47:02,640 --> 00:47:05,279 Speaker 4: rival of the Huskies and the Oregon Ducks. But I 969 00:47:05,400 --> 00:47:09,000 Speaker 4: do find that the Oregon transition. And the reason I 970 00:47:09,120 --> 00:47:12,080 Speaker 4: say that is because it should be the Oregon evolution. 971 00:47:12,280 --> 00:47:14,480 Speaker 4: That's the way that it is. Because there were different 972 00:47:14,760 --> 00:47:17,719 Speaker 4: different phases. Like I remember when Rich Brooks took him 973 00:47:17,719 --> 00:47:20,000 Speaker 4: to the to the Rose Bowl in the mid nineties 974 00:47:20,120 --> 00:47:23,319 Speaker 4: with and they played a great, unbeaten Penn State team. 975 00:47:23,680 --> 00:47:26,680 Speaker 2: But then Bellotti takes over, has his run, Chip Kelly 976 00:47:26,760 --> 00:47:29,600 Speaker 2: leads him to a national championship game, you know, Helfritz 977 00:47:29,680 --> 00:47:31,960 Speaker 2: takes over, they go to a championship game and lose, 978 00:47:32,080 --> 00:47:35,560 Speaker 2: but then you have the crystal Ball Landing era, and yeah, 979 00:47:35,640 --> 00:47:39,080 Speaker 2: there's just it's and now it's one of the marquee 980 00:47:39,160 --> 00:47:42,080 Speaker 2: programs in the country. And honestly, as a Big ten guy, 981 00:47:42,520 --> 00:47:44,239 Speaker 2: if I had to pick one school from the four 982 00:47:44,320 --> 00:47:46,920 Speaker 2: that came over from the PAC twelve, I'm taking Oregon, 983 00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:50,279 Speaker 2: like the heck with USC and UCLA like Oregon would 984 00:47:50,280 --> 00:47:51,200 Speaker 2: be the school that you would take. 985 00:47:51,239 --> 00:47:54,000 Speaker 4: And so I find that their evolution over the last 986 00:47:54,040 --> 00:47:57,239 Speaker 4: twenty five or thirty years is really intriguing.
