49
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 2: started with Championship OH Weekend, because what an incredible lineup.

50
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 7: A great script, good job NFL right, like everything about

51
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 7: both of these games, all four of these quarterbacks, just

52
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,079
Speaker 7: there are so many stories in place.

53
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,079
Speaker 2: As I said, the AFC Championship game, first time Patrick

54
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:28,079
Speaker 2: Mahomes and Lamar Jackson will meet in the playoffs, which

55
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 2: is crazy to think, It's insane. I mean, these are

56
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:33,119
Speaker 2: two of the best of our time. As Lamar put

57
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 2: it a heavyweight fight. Yes, then you have the NFC

58
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 2: Championship game. We got the comeback kids two. I mean,

59
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 2: I don't even know if you'd party's kind of the

60
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 2: comeback kid after getting injured in the NFC Championship Game

61
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 2: last season and then everyone's like, well can he do it?

62
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 2: Was it a fluke after surgery?

63
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 8: Nope.

64
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 3: Remember people didn't even I was gonna be ready for

65
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 3: the start of the seasons.

66
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 2: Still a comeback can two doubted quarterbacks who are ready

67
00:02:56,639 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 2: to prove everybody wrong. But let's start with the first

68
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 2: game tomorrow. Yeah, okay, Chiefs at Ravens. I mean, there

69
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 2: is so much talent in this game. It is going

70
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 2: to it should be an incredible quarterback dual. Plus, there

71
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:18,360
Speaker 2: is so much mutual respect between these two MVP quarterbacks.

72
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 2: Both have spoke very highly of each other, and we

73
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 2: have some sound from both of these quarterbacks. Let's start

74
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 2: with Lamar Jackson talking about Patrick Mahomes and how he

75
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 2: doesn't like playing against him.

76
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 5: Let's get to that first.

77
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 8: I don't like competing against him at all. But yeah,

78
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 8: I mean he's a great quarterback, definitely, hall of famer

79
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 8: is not even it's a new brain. He's definitely a

80
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 8: Hall of Famer. But I believe it's just two great

81
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 8: upcoming greats just going toe to toe, you know, like

82
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 8: a heavyweight fight.

83
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 5: It really is.

84
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 2: And you can hear the respect from Lamar in that

85
00:03:57,800 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 2: about Patrick Mahomes and.

86
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,839
Speaker 3: Then a Hall of famer now now in the future.

87
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 2: Right everybody knows he is the best player in the

88
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 2: league right now, right now. And then Patrick Mahomes was

89
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 2: talking about Lamar being the MVP and the respect that

90
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 2: he has for him.

91
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 9: He's gonna be the MVP for a reason. I mean,

92
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 9: he goes out there, he leads his team, he scores,

93
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 9: he runs, he throws, he does whatever it takes to win.

94
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:28,159
Speaker 9: And then that's what the great greats do. And like

95
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:29,559
Speaker 9: I said, it'd be a great challenge for our defense,

96
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:31,840
Speaker 9: but also a great challenge for offense. Going against their defense.

97
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:33,919
Speaker 9: So it's gonna take a full team effort if we

98
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 9: want to find a way to get a win.

99
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 3: He's right, a full team effort on either end.

100
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 2: Talent, game recognizing game yep, right there from both of them,

101
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 2: like mad respect, So okay, who has the edge in

102
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 2: this game?

103
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 5: Because let's run through this.

104
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes is playing in his sixth straight AFC Championship game. Right,

105
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 2: every year he has been a starter. He has given

106
00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 2: his team the best chance to get to a super Bowl.

107
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 3: This is all he knows, this is everything.

108
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:07,040
Speaker 2: He has the experience and somehow and somehow, Patrick Mahomes

109
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:10,160
Speaker 2: just comes alive right in the postseason. He has the

110
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 2: highest playoff win percentage in the Super Bowl era eighty

111
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:16,839
Speaker 2: one point three percent.

112
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 3: It's stupid.

113
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 2: He has more playoff wins than twelve NFL franchises. He

114
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 2: has the same amount of playoff wins in the last

115
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:29,280
Speaker 2: seven seasons that the Cardinals do in their one hundred

116
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 2: and four seasons. Like, just to put perspective, it is insane.

117
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, like can hear it? But then you hear it

118
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 4: again like that, and it's it is incredible.

119
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 5: He knows how to win in the playoffs.

120
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 2: And the craziest part this whole season was about how

121
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 2: he was having a down.

122
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 3: Year and oh he's still here.

123
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 5: Here they are again, back in the AFC Championship game.

124
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 4: And he did have a rough year. Yeah, we saw it.

125
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,280
Speaker 4: We all saw it. We saw him breakdown, we saw

126
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,039
Speaker 4: him get emotional. It was a rough year for him.

127
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 4: I think a lot of people people dismiss them.

128
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 3: To even make the playoffs.

129
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, here he's.

130
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,799
Speaker 3: Back to what he only knows to do, championship. Gabe,

131
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 3: what are we talking about?

132
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:09,280
Speaker 5: Win in the postseason?

133
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 2: Okay, Now, let's look at the other side and the

134
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,040
Speaker 2: Ravens and Lamar Jackson because he's got a big chip

135
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 2: on his shoulder.

136
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:16,479
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's got a lot to prove.

137
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 2: He has not had Lamar Jackson has not had that

138
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:23,159
Speaker 2: playoff success that he knows he can have, right, And

139
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 2: we just heard him talk about it like he's facing

140
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 2: the reigning champs who have two Super Bowls under Patrick Mahomes.

141
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,280
Speaker 2: He's trying to get to his first Super Bowl and

142
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:38,279
Speaker 2: win his first Super Bowl. And the Chiefs defense has

143
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 2: still been top tier on a quote down season. They've

144
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 2: allowed the second fewest total yards in the regular season.

145
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 2: Second they were second in sacks. So it's gonna come

146
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:53,039
Speaker 2: down to Lamar's dual threat. Passing and running is going

147
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 2: to be his best weapon, obviously, and he's going to

148
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 2: have to be so locked in tomorrow on both of those,

149
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 2: both of those.

150
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 4: It is crazy, you know, Like Lamar Jackson started, we

151
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 4: all know, not as a traditional pocket passer, but this

152
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 4: is the best he's ever thrown the ball. Yeah, and

153
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 4: he has gotten better as like the season has progressed.

154
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 5: Yep.

155
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 4: Like maybe it didn't start this way, but now here

156
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 4: he is ending the season with five touchdown passes against

157
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 4: the Miami Dolphins. Like he has gotten better as the

158
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:24,239
Speaker 4: season has progressed. He has never looked as comfortable throwing

159
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 4: the ball as he has this season.

160
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 3: And most of the time, unless Tyreek Hill is on

161
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 3: the field, Lamar Jackson is the fastest guy out there.

162
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 5: I mean, it's crazy.

163
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 3: He's crazy.

164
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 2: He is twenty second in the league in rushing yards,

165
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 2: so he's better than some of the starting running back

166
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 2: in the league.

167
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 3: You see him.

168
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 4: He has been exciting from the minute he got into

169
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 4: the league. He's been a playmaker from the minute he

170
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 4: got into a league. But now I feel that he

171
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 4: is a dual threat that we've never seen no. And

172
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 4: if he continues on this trajectory of being able to

173
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 4: pass so comfortably in the pocket, the league is gonna

174
00:07:59,120 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 4: be in trouble.

175
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 5: Oh they already are, Like here he is.

176
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 2: He's having his he's having his MVP season and everything's

177
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 2: coming together the way we always knew it could from

178
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 2: his first MVP that he got and now he's getting

179
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 2: tight end. Mark Andrew's back just another weapon for Lamarty us.

180
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 2: I mean, he's been out since week eleven and they've

181
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 2: been winning. So again, just another added bonus.

182
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 5: This is this game can.

183
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 2: Really go either way with two of these MVP quarterbacks.

184
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 2: We're gonna save our pick till the end of the show.

185
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 2: So now let's move on to the NFC Championship game

186
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 2: Lions at forty nine Ers. Again, some incredible stories around

187
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 2: this game. It's the game of the comeback quarterbacks. Jared

188
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 2: Goff traded away from LA to Detroit. Not good enough

189
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 2: for LA but great for Detroit. And then mister irrelevant

190
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:50,200
Speaker 2: brock Perty the very last pick in the draft, still doubted.

191
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:54,079
Speaker 2: I honestly, I have a really hard time figuring out why.

192
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 2: But the forty nine ers were here last season right

193
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 2: and lost. Yep. I think all of the pressure is

194
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 2: on them. They are the heavy favorites to win. They

195
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 2: have claimed all last season. If Purty was healthy, they

196
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 2: would have beat the Eagles and gone to the super Bowl.

197
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:15,319
Speaker 2: So a lot of a lot of eyeballs, a lot

198
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:18,199
Speaker 2: of pressure, a lot of conversation. Tomorrow is gonna be

199
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 2: wrapped around rock Party And he took a lot of

200
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:26,440
Speaker 2: heat this week for not having a great game, and

201
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:30,560
Speaker 2: he talked about the struggles last week and how you

202
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:31,080
Speaker 2: can kind.

203
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:32,440
Speaker 5: Of learn from your mistakes.

204
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 1: Well, how do you go about transforming you know, the

205
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 1: good and the negative from one week does make yourself

206
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 1: better for the following?

207
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 10: For me, it's you know, you're real with yourself. You

208
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 10: understand where you're at as a quarterback, how you played,

209
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 10: and it doesn't matter if you play good or bad.

210
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 10: Like you can't I don't think take really any of

211
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 10: that with you the next week. It's a new game,

212
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,200
Speaker 10: it's a new scheme, it's new environment, everything everything about

213
00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 10: it is new. So it's almost like you got to

214
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 10: clean the slate, learn from mistakes, build off of, you know,

215
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,079
Speaker 10: the good things that you've done. But it's going to

216
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 10: be a new game. So that's the mental battle that

217
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 10: I feel like all the NFL quarterbacks go through, and

218
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 10: I think that's where the great ones really, you know,

219
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,679
Speaker 10: separate themselves from the others. So yeah, that's how I

220
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 10: look at it.

221
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 3: Yeah.

222
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:19,440
Speaker 4: See, I agree with you that there's more pressure, and

223
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 4: I think the pressure comes even more so because of

224
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 4: their last game against Screen Bay.

225
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 3: It wasn't pretty.

226
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:28,559
Speaker 5: No, But am I worried about brock Party? No?

227
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 3: No, no, no, Okay, are you ready for this?

228
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 2: He is still undefeated in the playoffs in games that

229
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:37,080
Speaker 2: he's been healthy and finished, Meaning in his two seasons

230
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 2: in the NFL, he has brought the forty nine ers

231
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 2: to two NFC championship games. What does this man have

232
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 2: to do to earn that respect? He was the very

233
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 2: last pick in the draft. He didn't have his best

234
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:55,840
Speaker 2: game last weekend, but still led the team to victory

235
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:56,199
Speaker 2: with the.

236
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:57,080
Speaker 5: Game winning drive.

237
00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 4: Like I it is crazy that he's Somebody said, I

238
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 4: don't know who, but they were like, we criticized this

239
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 4: guy like he's been in the league five six years,

240
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 4: and it's like that is a great way to put it,

241
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:11,320
Speaker 4: because that is kind of what they criticized him. Like, okay, instead, Yeah,

242
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 4: he's still a baby, Like if you look at it

243
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 4: in the grand scheme of things, he's still a.

244
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 2: Baby in the first full season as a starter. He

245
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 2: came in as a third string quarterback last year and

246
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 2: when undefeated till he got injured in this exact same

247
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:33,679
Speaker 2: game last season. Yea, he has done everything possible that

248
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:35,200
Speaker 2: he can do and that's win and.

249
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 3: That's and it's not an it win. He needs to

250
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 3: get to the super Bowl.

251
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean this feels like the forty nine Ers

252
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:46,719
Speaker 2: game to lose and the Lions.

253
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:48,079
Speaker 5: Game to steal, which is scary.

254
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:51,080
Speaker 2: This so let's let's talk about the Lions because this

255
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:54,440
Speaker 2: is a territory for that. Like, they have a chance

256
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 2: to get to their first super Bowl in franchise history.

257
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:03,320
Speaker 2: It's going to take everything that they got. But I

258
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 2: will say they have the country on their side. Have

259
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:09,840
Speaker 2: you seen them at every Everybody loves an underdog story.

260
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 2: Everybody loves Dan Campbell. He has won the hearts of

261
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 2: even Charles Barkley. Do we get that sound of Charles

262
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:18,679
Speaker 2: talking about, HM, let's play that.

263
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,959
Speaker 11: I fell in love with the Detroit Lines. I have

264
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 11: a man crush on Dan Campbell. I know nothing about

265
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:28,320
Speaker 11: Dan Campbell, but I'm like, I want to play I

266
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 11: play football one day. I want to play for Dan Campbell.

267
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:35,320
Speaker 11: What do you think I want to play? I think

268
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,559
Speaker 11: that would be coach Campbell to the audience, Coach Campbell.

269
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 12: We know him.

270
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:41,959
Speaker 1: That's why coach Campbell if you can call him coach Campbell.

271
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:45,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's no. That's how I feel too. Anytime I

272
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:47,080
Speaker 5: want he does, anytime I.

273
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 2: Watch one of his speeches, there is so much passion

274
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:54,840
Speaker 2: and heart, Like you can tell why his entire locker

275
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 2: room bought into whatever he was selling. Because even us

276
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 2: on the outside, we see him for like thirty seconds

277
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:04,079
Speaker 2: to ninety seconds and we're like.

278
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:06,200
Speaker 5: Yes, Dan, we will run through a brick wall for you.

279
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 3: What the fuck go? Yeah, you're so right about that.

280
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 4: Everybody is on the hype train, and like it's crazy

281
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 4: because the hype train started in the off season, right.

282
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 3: And they delivered, Like what a story, what a ride.

283
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 3: They have not won a playoff game on the road

284
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:23,840
Speaker 3: since nineteen fifty seven.

285
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:27,439
Speaker 4: Also, like there's just so many obstacles because of history

286
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 4: that the Lions are facing, But the Lions like know

287
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 4: who they are, they are, they know exactly their identity, which.

288
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 5: Is what's scary. The grit.

289
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 2: They are all grit they are They're doubted. Jared Bliff

290
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 2: have been. No one thinks they can do it. I mean,

291
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 2: Jared Goff has been to a Super Bowl before. He

292
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:49,839
Speaker 2: beat his former team who traded him a couple of

293
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:50,440
Speaker 2: weeks ago.

294
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 5: And if Goff wins tomorrow, he will just.

295
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 2: Be the fifth quarterback to lead two different franchises to

296
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl.

297
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:56,839
Speaker 13: Wow.

298
00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 2: Some names that he would draw at me, throw at me,

299
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 2: Tom Bray, Okay, the Hoyton Man name, Kurt Warner, Craig Morton,

300
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 2: like all company company, Yeah, great company. So, as I said,

301
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 2: this feels like the forty nine Ers game to lose,

302
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,560
Speaker 2: in the Lions game to steal. This is another one

303
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:18,680
Speaker 2: that really can go either way. Yeah for Digger ways.

304
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 4: It's so it's it's like I I if, I'm I'm

305
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 4: sure Chris Christmas must be so excited.

306
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 5: You like linking out man, do you do you now

307
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 5: your team can do this?

308
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 3: Like you must believe it.

309
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 5: They they belong on the same field as everyone else.

310
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 14: It's so we said it, you know, I run I

311
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 14: run the Prior Detroit podcast, and like we said to

312
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 14: every there This isn't a Cinderella story. This this is

313
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 14: a team that belongs here with the last four remaining teams.

314
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 14: They got a shot like everyone else right now. They

315
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 14: got the star players, they've got the good offensive scheme,

316
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 14: They've got everything they need to win to win a

317
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 14: football game.

318
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 3: Like I like that. They're not a Cinderella story.

319
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 5: No, but I like that, But they're not.

320
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 2: They don't have the big, flashy names like the Christian McCaffrey,

321
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 2: the George Kid, Kid.

322
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 1: Jimmy.

323
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 5: They have guys who will be those fashion.

324
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 2: They have players that are just as like can be

325
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 2: just as great. But the national stage doesn't know their

326
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 2: names as well as the forty nine ers. And this

327
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 2: is their chance to shine and prove we all know.

328
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 2: I mean, like we just said, as we just heard

329
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 2: Charles Barkley say, the world has fallen in love with

330

Speaker 2: this Detroit Lions team and their head coach Dan Campbell

331
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 2: and forty times the faves. But this can really go

332
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:40,280

Speaker 3: Guy as blind sort of the muda as you can't hear?

00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:26,680
Speaker 5: But like that was the first album where I.

376
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:29,200

00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:33,400
Speaker 3: Yes see, I got sort of the that was right.

379
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:35,399
Speaker 5: Okay, cool, let's talk some NBA.

380
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 2: Let's be the big news this week that shocked everyone

381
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 2: even be honest, the Bucks fired their head coach Adrian

382
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:45,359
Speaker 2: Griffin and hired Doc Rivers.

383
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 5: Now why is this strange?

384
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 2: Well, the Bucks were thirty and thirteen when he got fired.

385
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:53,840
Speaker 2: A winning record, and this was his first season. He

386
00:17:53,920 --> 00:18:00,440
Speaker 2: was only forty three games into his tenure. And I

387
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:04,440
Speaker 2: let's just start with Jannis kind of talking about this

388
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 2: right because he had to have known what was that

389
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 2: star of course this team, but he spoke after their

390
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:15,159
Speaker 2: first win on Wednesday.

391
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 16: I gotta trust the front office. I gotta trust the

392
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:21,160
Speaker 16: ownership group that they can see the biggest pictures.

393
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 11: My job is.

394
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:25,399
Speaker 16: To be the best version of myself to lead this

395
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 16: team out there and help win games. And their job

396
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:32,639
Speaker 16: is to create the best team possible and the best

397
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 16: atmosphere around the team possible. I know that they believe

398
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 16: that he give us a better chance to win a championship,

399
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:43,600
Speaker 16: but yeah, I do. I do think it was a surprise.

400
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 2: So the keyword there is create the best atmosphere around

401
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:50,880
Speaker 2: the team. That's kind of what stood out there because

402
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:54,680
Speaker 2: there was video of the Bucks dancing around the court

403
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 2: on Wednesday, the day after their coach was fired.

404
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:01,359
Speaker 5: So that tells me vibe we were off.

405
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:03,719
Speaker 3: I mean, revibes were off prior to the season.

406
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 4: Terry Stotts was supposed to be like an assistant or

407
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 4: something and he quit right before the season, so obviously

408
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:12,680
Speaker 4: was something there that maybe we did not even think

409
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 4: about We just were like, oh, it probably didn't work out. Okay,

410
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 4: he moved on, but obviously something was not meshing. Well,

411
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:23,159
Speaker 4: I don't believe that Joannis didn't know or didn't have

412
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 4: any say in this.

413
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 3: No obvious if.

414
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:27,920
Speaker 2: Every if, like if everyone in the locker room had

415
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 2: his back and loved him, especially Yohnest. There's no way

416
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:35,880
Speaker 2: this decision gets made without the blessing from your star stars.

417
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:36,960
Speaker 3: Also, Danael Willard.

418
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 4: Right, obviously, very very weird, such a abrupt you know,

419
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:46,120
Speaker 4: a day. Yeah, when it came to hearing this information,

420
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 4: like you said, forty three games, thirty three and ten,

421
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 4: right or something like that.

422
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:51,879
Speaker 5: They were thirty and thirteen, thirty.

423
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:56,720
Speaker 4: And thirteen, like unbelievable, unbelievable that they just pulled the

424
00:19:56,800 --> 00:20:00,720
Speaker 4: rug from under, but obviously something was going on off

425
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:01,160
Speaker 4: the court.

426
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:01,640
Speaker 5: Yeah.

427
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 2: So if the reason, again was vibes and lack of experience,

428
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:09,479
Speaker 2: they went and Bucks went in the complete opposite direction

429
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:13,200
Speaker 2: and picked up a veteran in Doc Rivers immediately immediately.

430
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:16,360
Speaker 2: But there has been a lot of heat surrounding Doc

431
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:19,359
Speaker 2: and his playoff success right with the Clippers. With Philly,

432
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 2: he had championship caliber teams that have blown three three

433
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:30,119
Speaker 2: to one leads in the playoffs. So I want to

434
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:33,399
Speaker 2: know why the Bucks think it will be different for

435
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:37,879
Speaker 2: Doc and Milwaukee. Maybe Jannis's docs like missing piece, but

436
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:39,879
Speaker 2: he had some great pieces before last year. He had

437
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 2: Joelle Embiid the reigning MVP and couldn't get it done.

438
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 4: The only thing I took from all of this, and

439
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 4: I'm glad you brought up the playoff record, because that

440
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:50,360
Speaker 4: is the thing that is over Doc Rivers's head.

441
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, obviously though players like him.

442
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:58,440
Speaker 2: Oh he's a that's you cannot take away from how

443
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:00,920
Speaker 2: great of a person and coach that he is, because

444
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:03,240
Speaker 2: you will hear that from the players.

445
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 3: And clearly that is enough for every single player.

446
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:08,879
Speaker 4: The fact you know Jannis okaid, okay, Doc Rivers coming,

447
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 4: Damian Lillard okayed, Doc Rivers coming.

448
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 3: It's just it made me like so like man, Nobody

449
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 3: the players don't care about his playoff record.

450
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 5: They don't.

451
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:19,640
Speaker 3: They believe in him. They believe in him and they

452
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:21,399
Speaker 3: believe that he is a difference maker.

453
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:23,960
Speaker 4: And that's so crazy because of how much he was

454
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:27,520
Speaker 4: criticized last year exiting the playoffs the way he did.

455
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:31,120
Speaker 3: But it doesn't matter. It does not matter. The players

456
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:33,560
Speaker 3: like Doc Rivers and that's what matters.

457
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I I always wish the best for people.

458
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:40,239
Speaker 2: I heart works out. I hope Doc finally gets that

459
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:46,359
Speaker 2: over the huhump, not blowing a three to one like.

460
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:52,920
Speaker 5: Multiple if anyone, I'm different, Dames, I just I know.

461
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 5: But Yannis, I mean, listen, honest day comes down to books.

462
00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 3: They have the talent. Yeah, but they do.

463
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:01,720
Speaker 4: And that's what Literally, that's all I took from this.

464
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:05,359
Speaker 4: I was like, man, Doc Rivers is loved. Yeah, man, yeah,

465
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:06,439
Speaker 4: good for you.

466
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 17: Do you guys think Janice is going to skate on

467
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:11,879
Speaker 17: the getting his coach fired allegations or no?

468
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:12,680
Speaker 5: What do you mean?

469
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:16,119
Speaker 17: Giannis is doing the exact thing that everybody wants to

470
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 17: pillary Lebron James for doing here well, getting getting Adrian

471
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 17: Griffin fired especially.

472
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 5: I think, Yeah, I think was the face he is

473
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 5: the face of the team.

474
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:29,200
Speaker 17: Woe said that Griffin was hired because he wasn't Nick Nurse.

475
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:32,879
Speaker 17: That's what Giannis wanted. Yeah, it's very it's I I

476
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 17: just want Giannis to get a little bit of heat

477
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 17: for this.

478
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:37,200
Speaker 3: I am surprised I think he will.

479
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 4: Did you there's like rumors because his brother wasn't getting

480
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 4: any play time and that that's what was making him mad.

481
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:45,160
Speaker 17: Yeah, that's how you know, if the NASAs is still

482
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:46,919
Speaker 17: on the team after tomorrow.

483
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:49,760
Speaker 3: Then yeah, but you're right, Bo, You're right.

484
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:52,880
Speaker 4: I think it's just maybe because Jannis's reputation is such

485
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:54,120
Speaker 4: a different.

486
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:57,720
Speaker 2: He's like this happy, go lucky, telling jokes on his

487
00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 2: social media like bringing joy I'm just so happy to

488
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 2: be here, correct. I mean, we're seeing a little more

489
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:05,200
Speaker 2: of the frustration obviously this year when he didn't get

490
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:08,040
Speaker 2: the game ball for getting that scoring record, like that

491
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:10,240
Speaker 2: was kind of a first big like, oh, we're seeing

492
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:12,399
Speaker 2: a difference. I'd be honest, we're not totally used to that,

493
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:15,240
Speaker 2: Like is probably more the norm, but he keeps it

494
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:19,040
Speaker 2: not publicly and on social media, which is a similar

495
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 2: situation to this. We know he definitely probably had some

496
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 2: sort of a say in this because he is the

497
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:25,960
Speaker 2: leader of that team in the face of the franchise.

498
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, so yeah, it'll.

499
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:29,920
Speaker 2: It'll be interesting to see how it all it all

500
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:32,040
Speaker 2: plays out. But now let's check in with Martin Wis

501
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:32,920
Speaker 2: and see what's trending.

502
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:35,720
Speaker 5: See if this goes better this.

503
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 3: Time I knew exactly what you were going through. Did

504
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:41,120
Speaker 3: you refresh?

505
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 12: Because I looked at it and I was like, there's

506
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:44,960
Speaker 12: no way. I like, this game's got to be in

507
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:47,320
Speaker 12: the middle of second quarter exactly.

508
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:52,600
Speaker 2: Talking about your update thirty minutes ago. I just heard like, oh,

509
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:53,400
Speaker 2: we're having a hard time here.

510
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:55,920
Speaker 4: I knew exactly what you were going through because it's

511
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:58,240
Speaker 4: happened to me, and it just takes so long to refresh,

512
00:23:58,280 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 4: and like, I know this is wrong.

513
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 5: I know it is.

514
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:03,440
Speaker 12: And then TV to be no favors going to commercial break,

515
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:05,720
Speaker 12: Like as he scores, I'm like, come on, man, what

516
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:06,840
Speaker 12: are we doing here?

517
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:07,680

521
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:18,960

565
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:27,240
Speaker 2: our first guest, a friend of the show, founder of Fangirls'

Speaker 2: Tracy, thank you so much for doubling down two weekends

00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:35,680
Speaker 2: in a row.

570
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 5: We love you for it.

571
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:40,119
Speaker 2: Big news yesterday for the forty nine Ers, Deebo Samuels

572
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:43,879
Speaker 2: off the injury report, will play tomorrow. How close is

573
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:45,879
Speaker 2: he to one hundred percent and how effective do you

574
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:48,199
Speaker 2: think he will be coming off that shoulder injury.

575
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 18: Well, he was very confident when he spoke to us

576
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:57,160
Speaker 18: yesterday that he was going to be very effective and

577
00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 18: that he was as close as he could be. His

578
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:03,360
Speaker 18: exact quote. Someone asked him if he would be limited

579
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:05,440
Speaker 18: at all, if he would have to worry about protecting

580
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 18: his shoulder, and he said, I ain't protected nothing, and

581
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 18: he was now good luck command, who was quite confident.

582
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 18: He was in good spirits. So I would say he's

583
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:20,360
Speaker 18: probably as close to one hundred percent as anyone is

584
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:21,679
Speaker 18: at this point in the seasons.

585
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:22,720
Speaker 5: Okay, that's good.

586
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:25,359
Speaker 4: This is kind of like a random question, But here

587
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:28,040
Speaker 4: are the forty nine ers in a huge the biggest

588
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 4: game of the season. Are there any superstitious things that

589
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:35,080
Speaker 4: they've been doing that you've seen, you know what.

590
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:37,240
Speaker 18: That's so funny that you asked that, because they were

591
00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:39,359
Speaker 18: asked that a bunch of this week, and brock Perty

592
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:42,080
Speaker 18: was asked it yesterday, So it's funny that you're asking

593
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 18: me that. And they all basically said, they're just sticking

594
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:50,440
Speaker 18: with the same routine. Not necessarily superstitious superstitions, but they're

595
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:53,199
Speaker 18: sticking with the same routine. And something that actually struck

596
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:56,160
Speaker 18: me all week that maybe was even a little bit

597
00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:59,960
Speaker 18: different than the last year or so, was they did

598
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 18: it feel like, yeah, it's any other week. Of course,

599
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 18: the magnitude of the game is what it is. They

600
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:08,159
Speaker 18: could be one and done, you know, that's how that's

601
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:11,040
Speaker 18: how this works in the playoffs. Obviously has that march

602
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:14,080
Speaker 18: back in his field. But they felt pretty normal. There

603
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 18: were a lot more people there this week. The way

604
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:18,920
Speaker 18: that the media schedule is done is a little bit different.

605
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:23,480
Speaker 18: But everything felt pretty normal, pretty business as usual. Everyone's

606
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:26,560
Speaker 18: in good spirit, so I think they which is good.

607
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:29,480
Speaker 18: You don't want to be obviously uptight and scared, and

608
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 18: they really didn't feel that way.

609
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 3: All Okay, Now.

610
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 2: Jersey Brock Party didn't have a great overall performance last

611
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:38,120
Speaker 2: week against the Packers, but did lead the team on

612
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 2: the game winning drive. How do you expect him to

613
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:44,640
Speaker 2: respond and kind of clean up those mistakes from last week.

614
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:48,160
Speaker 18: I think you'll respond pretty well. One of the things

615
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:50,600
Speaker 18: about brock Purty that's been cool to watch is he

616
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:53,959
Speaker 18: very rarely makes the same mistake twice and he learns

617
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:57,080
Speaker 18: from his mistakes. So I think that it really won't

618
00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 18: be an issue. I'll kind of liken it to last

619
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 18: season his first playoff game, the wildcard game against the Seahawks.

620
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 18: He had a similar game, not a great game, he

621
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:09,360
Speaker 18: did okay, ultimately did enough to win. The next week

622
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:12,440
Speaker 18: against Dallas, really bounced back and played so much better,

623
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 18: And I think we'll probably see that from brock Purty

624
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:18,400
Speaker 18: again tomorrow. Having de Book Samuel will make a very

625
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:21,400
Speaker 18: big difference in huge amazing the confidence that man can bring.

626
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:24,720
Speaker 18: And we forget Deepo went out relatively early in the

627
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:27,600
Speaker 18: game last Yeah, and this is not a rock Purty

628
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 18: is nothing without his weapons statement. It's just it is

629
00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:34,400
Speaker 18: a big difference, especially when the game plan includes Deebo

630
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:37,040
Speaker 18: Samuel and then he's out and they all have to

631
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:40,400
Speaker 18: adjust on the fly. So having Deebos Semo back in there.

632
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:41,760
Speaker 18: I do think will make a big difference.

633
00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:45,640
Speaker 2: Question again on brock Purty here, right, because he is

634
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:48,440
Speaker 2: undefeated in playoff games that he's finished and been healthy

635
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:50,720
Speaker 2: two straight years. He's helped bring this team to the

636
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:54,440
Speaker 2: NFC Championship game. Do you think brock Purty is being

637
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:58,360
Speaker 2: unfairly criticized, just not even from last week, but just

638
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:00,560
Speaker 2: the doubt that he still receives from a lot of

639
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 2: the media.

640
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:04,760
Speaker 18: Absolutely, And I think it just comes from where he

641
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:08,200
Speaker 18: was picked in the draft and people can't seem to

642
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 18: get over that. I don't know, they can't get over it,

643
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:15,080
Speaker 18: like it's it's you would tick actually that people would

644
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 18: embrace it because they would love it. They'd be like,

645
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 18: oh my gosh, what an amazing story, said underdog story.

646
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:24,840
Speaker 18: But people really just can't get over it. I don't

647
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:27,600
Speaker 18: know what it's about, but they just can't seem to

648
00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 18: get past it. But I do think he is unfairly criticized.

649
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:32,479
Speaker 18: And to me, the whole conversation of like, wow, he

650
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:35,200
Speaker 18: has such a great coach, he has so many offensive weapons,

651
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:37,200
Speaker 18: show me a really great quarterback.

652
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:38,520
Speaker 5: Who haven't Yeah, I.

653
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 18: Mean, I don't really understand the conversation. And it's funny

654
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:47,240
Speaker 18: because now with Bellichick, the conversation is, well, he can't

655
00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:51,520
Speaker 18: win without Brady, So isn't that now the conversation reverse.

656
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:53,800
Speaker 18: So I just think people like to argue I don't

657
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:56,240
Speaker 18: really get it, but I do think he's unfairly criticized.

658
00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 18: At the end of the day, they win games. He wins.

659
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:02,520
Speaker 18: He wins in the ways that he has to win.

660
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:06,360
Speaker 18: Has he been perfect? No, but nobody is. He's played

661
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 18: just over a season of football.

662
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:12,720
Speaker 5: At this point, Like, right, yeah, he's a baby.

663
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:15,920
Speaker 18: Think about it. Yeah, he's a baby. And he came

664
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:19,360
Speaker 18: into in December of twenty twenty two, so it's not

665
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 18: even like, oh, this is his second full season. He's

666
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:25,400
Speaker 18: played a season in two months of football, So I

667
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:27,720
Speaker 18: think that is something to consider. So, yeah, he is

668
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:30,800
Speaker 18: unfairly criticised. He doesn't care, and he's laughing all the

669
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:33,320
Speaker 18: way to the NFC Championship Game and maybe beyond. But

670
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:34,719
Speaker 18: I do think it's been unfair.

671
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:37,240
Speaker 3: Is it unfair? Also? You think because it's the forty

672
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:41,840
Speaker 3: nine ers.

673
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:41,720
Speaker 4: Like if they have so many, like if he was

674
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:44,680
Speaker 4: playing for a different team, the Cinderella story I think

675
00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:49,640
Speaker 4: would be more because it's such a name exactly.

676
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:54,040
Speaker 18: That's very possible. That's very possible because if you look

677
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:56,040
Speaker 18: at like when you look at the Lions, I mean

678
00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 18: Jared goff Is, Yes, he was a number one pick

679
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 18: in the draft and he too a Super Bowl, but

680
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:03,400
Speaker 18: then he was essentially discarded by the Rams, right, and

681
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:05,960
Speaker 18: I think he was treated really man. Now, he's like

682
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:08,040
Speaker 18: a great Cinderella story, and I do think it is

683
00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 18: a great story, but he's not getting that same kind

684
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:16,400
Speaker 18: of criticism. So there probably are a lot of factors

685
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:20,440
Speaker 18: at play. The fourneits have so many superstars that I

686
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:22,920
Speaker 18: think people want to make the argument that well, it

687
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:25,240
Speaker 18: isn't really him, like look at all the people around him,

688
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:28,200
Speaker 18: but somebody has to get those people the ball, not

689
00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:29,160
Speaker 18: throwing it to themselves.

690
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:31,520
Speaker 2: And speaking of those superstars, I mean, the forty nine

691
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:35,160
Speaker 2: ers have one of the strongest rosters and all season

692
00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:39,200
Speaker 2: they have had extremely high expectations to not only reach,

693
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:41,280
Speaker 2: but even win the Super Bowl this season.

694
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 5: How much of that pressure is being felt by the team.

695
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:48,640
Speaker 18: I don't think they really feel it. And nobody puts

696
00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:51,520
Speaker 18: more pressure than they put on themselves. I mean, they've

697
00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:53,720
Speaker 18: really talked about from the first day of training camp

698
00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:57,320
Speaker 18: almost to a man. Everybody talked about, you know, all

699
00:32:57,400 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 18: eyes on that final game of the season. It was

700
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:01,440
Speaker 18: interesting that no one really said super Bowl those first

701
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:04,040
Speaker 18: couple months, but it was all eyes on that final

702
00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:06,960
Speaker 18: game of the season. And they have a bad taste

703
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:08,880
Speaker 18: in their mouth from what happened last year. And even

704
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 18: though they all say last year was last year, this

705
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:13,640
Speaker 18: is a new year. It's hard to get to the

706
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:16,520
Speaker 18: NFC Championship game. It's not like, well, we'll just get

707
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:20,480
Speaker 18: back there next year. So I think nobody puts more pressure,

708
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:23,240
Speaker 18: probably than they're putting on themselves. But this team is

709
00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:26,320
Speaker 18: a pretty good job of not listening to outside noise,

710
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:28,560
Speaker 18: and I also do a decent job of admitting when

711
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:32,840
Speaker 18: they do. So it feels like this is a pressure

712
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:35,680
Speaker 18: they have on themselves. This is something that they really want.

713
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:39,000
Speaker 18: But I don't know that the outside is really affecting.

714
00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 5: Them all that much, all right, Tracy.

715
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:43,720
Speaker 2: The Lions have been rolling this postseason, this whole season,

716
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:47,280
Speaker 2: and the hype has been extremely high also around this

717
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:50,560
Speaker 2: team to reach their very first Super Bowl in franchise history.

718
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:52,480
Speaker 5: So what's going to be the key.

719
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:56,040
Speaker 2: For the forty nine ers tomorrow to beat such a

720
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:57,360
Speaker 2: hyped up Detroit team.

721
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:02,000
Speaker 18: Well, I'm thinking about this a lot the last two days,

722
00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 18: so I'm glad that you asked, But I have been

723
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:06,680
Speaker 18: thinking about this a lot the last few days, and

724
00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:10,760
Speaker 18: these teams are matched up so interestingly, and they both

725
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:13,799
Speaker 18: have a lot of strengths. They have weaknesses they've been

726
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:16,640
Speaker 18: able to mask. But I really think for San Francisco

727
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:19,440
Speaker 18: it is going to be defending the run. This is

728
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:22,960
Speaker 18: probably the best running back tandem that they've seen all season,

729
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:26,000
Speaker 18: and defending the run has been an issue for this

730
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:29,319
Speaker 18: team for several weeks now. It's been an issue on

731
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:33,759
Speaker 18: defense various times throughout the season, but consistently over the

732
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:37,160
Speaker 18: last several weeks, and they've had issues on defenses. They've

733
00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:40,200
Speaker 18: had weaknesses on defense, but they've made big plays to

734
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:42,799
Speaker 18: overcome them. There's been a late game pick or two

735
00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:45,160
Speaker 18: in the case of last week, but late game picks,

736
00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:47,719
Speaker 18: late game fumble recoveries that kind of mask some of

737
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:49,920
Speaker 18: these issues. But they're going to have to figure out

738
00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:54,200
Speaker 18: how to defend the run because both defenses have weaknesses

739
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:56,880
Speaker 18: that both offenses are going to be able to exploit.

740
00:34:57,280 --> 00:35:00,600
Speaker 18: So it's going to be, in my opinion, with defense

741
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:03,440
Speaker 18: overcomes their weakness the best and that's a huge one

742
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:06,040
Speaker 18: for San Francisco. And then on top of that, the

743
00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:08,360
Speaker 18: offense is going to have to hit on all cylinders.

744
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:10,680
Speaker 18: It can't be a game like last week, and I

745
00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:12,960
Speaker 18: don't think it will be, but they are going to

746
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:14,680
Speaker 18: have to stick to their game. They're gonna have to

747
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 18: hit on all cylinders. I mean, they had to throw

748
00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:19,359
Speaker 18: what was it, thirty nine passes last week and it's

749
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:20,840
Speaker 18: like so funny to me is it feels like a

750
00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:24,160
Speaker 18: Kyle Shanahan nightmare because he like's running the ball thirty

751
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:26,960
Speaker 18: times or more and they had to do it. And

752
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:28,720
Speaker 18: so they're going to have to figure out a way

753
00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:33,080
Speaker 18: to really stay on their game and to exploit the

754
00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:36,960
Speaker 18: weaknesses that Detroit defense really has impass protection, because they've

755
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:39,440
Speaker 18: been kind of all over that with that all season.

756
00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:40,200
Speaker 5: Long, solid fortnit.

757
00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:42,319
Speaker 2: I was really happy that Diva is going to be

758
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:43,920
Speaker 2: back tomorrow, Tracy.

759
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:47,000
Speaker 18: Yeah, I mean Diva is age a litereral game seizer.

760
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:50,400
Speaker 18: And then Brock said that yesterday he's a game changer. Yes,

761
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:54,239
Speaker 18: and without Ebo, I was like, I don't know. I

762
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:57,320
Speaker 18: still think it's a very tough matchup and the Lions

763
00:35:57,360 --> 00:35:59,719
Speaker 18: have some kind of fun thing going here in this

764
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:02,279
Speaker 18: Arello story and the magic, and I think and it's

765
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:04,440
Speaker 18: a great story. I mean, it really is. It's a

766
00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:06,960
Speaker 18: great story for them, for the city, for everything. And

767
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:08,239
Speaker 18: I think we all know I have a little bit

768
00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:10,839
Speaker 18: of a pension for football in Michigan, but I think

769
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:17,520
Speaker 18: with Deebo it it changes things because just his presence.

770
00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:19,760
Speaker 2: Is going to be it's going to be the huge Tracy,

771
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:21,760
Speaker 2: thank you so much for joining us. Have a great

772
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:24,160
Speaker 2: time at the game tomorrow. It's going to be a

773
00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:26,600
Speaker 2: great one. We'll be watching, thank you, of course when

Speaker 2: I'm gonna get started with one of the most viral

790
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:14,759
Speaker 2: moments from last weekend. This is a du do do

791
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:20,719
Speaker 2: live your best life. Jason Kelsey had some legendary moments

792
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:25,240
Speaker 2: at the Chiefs Bill Games tailgating with Bill's Mafia, drinking

793
00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:28,520
Speaker 2: out of a bowling ball thing, then taking his shirt off,

794
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:32,120
Speaker 2: jumping out of the suite in the dance to celebrate

795
00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:33,880
Speaker 2: his brother's touchdown.

796
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:36,680
Speaker 5: I mean, it was just a painting, like all the photos,

797
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:37,560
Speaker 5: the videos.

798
00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:39,680
Speaker 2: Then he brought a young Taylor Swift fan who was

799
00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:42,840
Speaker 2: holding a poster up to the window to meet Taylor

800
00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:45,040
Speaker 2: Swift like it was just.

801
00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:47,680
Speaker 5: So much yes. And then on top.

802
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:50,920
Speaker 2: Of it, we heard from his wife Kylie this week

803
00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:54,680
Speaker 2: that Jason told her he obviously we knew he was

804
00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:56,320
Speaker 2: going to do this, but she shared I think it

805
00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:58,480
Speaker 2: was on Good Morning America that all he wanted to

806
00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:02,120
Speaker 2: do was of his best Bill's Mafia experience and jump

807
00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:04,560
Speaker 2: through a table. So before he got to the suite,

808
00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:06,120
Speaker 2: he was on a mission to try to find a

809
00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:08,919
Speaker 2: table to jump through. Did not find one, so came

810
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:11,400
Speaker 2: into the suite with that energy of like, I'm I

811
00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:13,359
Speaker 2: didn't find a table, but I'm taking my shirt off

836
00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:20,520
Speaker 17: had shirts that spelled Horns Down, which Texas has made

837
00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:22,200
Speaker 17: a big deal out of how much it hurts their

838
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:25,359
Speaker 17: feelings and offends them and everything. And after the first

839
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:28,520
Speaker 17: media timeout, officials at the game actually went over and

840
00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:33,880

891
00:41:54,840 --> 00:42:00,200
Speaker 2: matches in the NFL this week. Jim Harbaugh go win

892
00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:03,960
Speaker 2: to the Chargers, Raheem Morris to the Falcons, Brian Callahan

Speaker 5: Canal Is to the Panthers.

895
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:11,560
Speaker 2: But let's start with the best decision that the Chargers

896
00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:14,839
Speaker 2: have made in a long long time. And you called

897
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:19,080
Speaker 2: this how long ago the moment they fired their coach.

898
00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:24,680
Speaker 2: Year they got fired. I said it's gonna be. It's

899
00:42:24,719 --> 00:42:27,440
Speaker 2: gonna be Jim Harbaugh. And You're like, you're crazy. He's

900
00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:29,799
Speaker 2: about to be suspended. What's gonna happen. I was like, No,

901
00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:32,960
Speaker 2: he's gonna win the National Championship for Michigan. Then he's

902
00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:34,719
Speaker 2: gonna leave and he's gonna come to the Chargers and

903
00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:39,520
Speaker 2: from that moment. I called it, and I stood by

904
00:42:39,520 --> 00:42:43,120
Speaker 2: it every single week. You know, every single week you

905
00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:46,680
Speaker 2: called me crazy. Yeah, Weiss got mad at me last week.

906
00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:50,040
Speaker 2: Didn't want it to happen. Every single man, every single

907
00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:55,440
Speaker 2: person told me no. But guess what, this was the

908
00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:59,120
Speaker 2: only coaching hire that immediately puts the Chargers back in

909
00:42:59,160 --> 00:42:59,759
Speaker 2: the conversation.

910
00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:00,960
Speaker 3: Yes, it really does.

911
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:04,399
Speaker 2: With this higher they are now must watch TV. They're

912
00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:06,799
Speaker 2: going to have more primetime games, They're going to be

913
00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:10,520
Speaker 2: talked about way more. They're gonna have a culture all

914
00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:13,320
Speaker 2: because of Jim Harbaugh.

915
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:16,640
Speaker 3: And nowadays, doesn't it seem like that's the most important thing?

916
00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:18,120
Speaker 3: A culture like it?

917
00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:18,399
Speaker 13: Is?

918
00:43:18,440 --> 00:43:18,520
Speaker 14: It?

919
00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:18,919
Speaker 13: Really?

920
00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:22,200
Speaker 2: That is the like, that's how you start. That is

921
00:43:22,239 --> 00:43:25,080
Speaker 2: the base of a winning franchise.

922
00:43:25,200 --> 00:43:28,640
Speaker 4: And the Chargers with so much talent, no culture, and

923
00:43:28,680 --> 00:43:30,560
Speaker 4: look at what they didn't accomplish well.

924
00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:34,600
Speaker 2: Also, since the Chargers have arrived in LA, they have

925
00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:35,600
Speaker 2: been an afterthought.

926
00:43:35,719 --> 00:43:35,960
Speaker 3: They have.

927
00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:38,000
Speaker 5: The Rams came to LA.

928
00:43:37,840 --> 00:43:39,799
Speaker 2: A year before the Chargers did. They already won a

929
00:43:39,800 --> 00:43:42,200
Speaker 2: Super Bowl in twenty twenty one. The Dodgers and Lakers

930
00:43:42,239 --> 00:43:44,400
Speaker 2: just won a championship in twenty twenty have two of

931
00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:48,320
Speaker 2: the biggest names in sports, Lebron James and Shoheo Tawny

932
00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:50,640
Speaker 2: the Chargers.

933
00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:52,040
Speaker 3: Had.

934
00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:56,799
Speaker 2: I mean, they have Herbert, right, but if you're not

935
00:43:56,880 --> 00:43:58,640
Speaker 2: winning in La, nobody cares.

936
00:43:58,719 --> 00:43:59,200
Speaker 3: It's true.

937
00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:02,360
Speaker 2: There are so many other things to do here entertainment wise,

938
00:44:03,120 --> 00:44:06,880
Speaker 2: activity wise, sports wise, with the amazing teams that we

939
00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:10,560
Speaker 2: have here. But having a coach is captivating as success

940
00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:14,600
Speaker 2: and as successful as Jim Harbaugh. Again, it's a brand

941
00:44:14,640 --> 00:44:18,000
Speaker 2: an image changer. He just won a national title, He's

942
00:44:18,160 --> 00:44:21,280
Speaker 2: been to a Super Bowl. He knows what it takes

943
00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:26,040
Speaker 2: to be great, and he brings that winning culture. I

944
00:44:26,080 --> 00:44:27,640
Speaker 2: mean as a coach with the forty nine ers, he

945
00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:29,240
Speaker 2: never had a losing season.

946
00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:30,799
Speaker 5: Like at all.

947
00:44:31,160 --> 00:44:32,600
Speaker 3: Honestly, Yeah, what more could you want?

948
00:44:33,600 --> 00:44:38,400
Speaker 2: And when you look at what he's working with, Justin Herbert,

949
00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:40,600
Speaker 2: a great talent who hasn't lived up to his full

950
00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:43,880
Speaker 2: potential now this season, there's not going to be an excuse.

951
00:44:44,840 --> 00:44:48,560
Speaker 2: You have some extremely solid pieces in place with Keenan

952
00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:51,279
Speaker 2: Allen has one more yearness contract, Mike Williams has one

953
00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:54,920
Speaker 2: more yearness contract, Joey Bosa two more years on his contract,

954
00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:57,239
Speaker 2: Irwin James three more years on his contract. Like, you

955
00:44:57,440 --> 00:45:00,440
Speaker 2: have pieces in place, and you have the fifth overall

956
00:45:00,480 --> 00:45:04,279
Speaker 2: pick in the draft. So they're in a pretty good

957
00:45:04,320 --> 00:45:07,359
Speaker 2: spot for a team who doesn't need a quarterback. So

958
00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:10,360
Speaker 2: someone could try to trade for that top five spot

959
00:45:10,360 --> 00:45:12,040
Speaker 2: in the draft. They could get more picks, they could

960
00:45:12,120 --> 00:45:15,000
Speaker 2: get some like great stuff in return, and he's gonna

961
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:17,760
Speaker 2: have a say in their new GM higher.

962
00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:20,279
Speaker 3: Yeah. Everything he wanted, everything he needed. They gave it

963
00:45:20,320 --> 00:45:21,799
Speaker 3: to him, as they should have.

964
00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:24,160
Speaker 2: I said, back up the breaks truck, give him whatever

965
00:45:24,680 --> 00:45:27,160
Speaker 2: he wants. This is your only option, yeah, and or

966
00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:27,799
Speaker 2: success now.

967
00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:30,279
Speaker 4: And I know a few people like Martin and others

968
00:45:30,320 --> 00:45:32,360
Speaker 4: are not happy, but I feel like for the most part,

969
00:45:32,719 --> 00:45:34,400
Speaker 4: most people really are happy.

970
00:45:34,440 --> 00:45:36,600
Speaker 5: I have I have not heard negative right.

971
00:45:36,640 --> 00:45:39,600
Speaker 2: It's which is also a little eerie because like in

972
00:45:39,640 --> 00:45:42,279
Speaker 2: our industry and in the sports world, I mean, the

973
00:45:42,360 --> 00:45:44,719
Speaker 2: whole thing is like a debate, it is, and you

974
00:45:44,760 --> 00:45:46,200
Speaker 2: always want people on both sides.

975
00:45:46,280 --> 00:45:48,399
Speaker 5: I have not heard a lot of the other side,

976
00:45:48,440 --> 00:45:50,680
Speaker 5: and which could be a great thing or like a

977
00:45:50,760 --> 00:45:54,480
Speaker 5: really secretly sketchy thing.

978
00:45:54,520 --> 00:45:57,000
Speaker 4: Any people, did you see the social media for the

979
00:45:57,080 --> 00:45:58,960
Speaker 4: Chargers of the day that we signed Jim Harbaugh.

980
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:01,399
Speaker 5: Did you follow him and his old because he used

981
00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:02,719
Speaker 5: to he was a quarterback for the Chargers.

982
00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:05,600
Speaker 3: By in the day, they thought they did so many things. Okay,

983
00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:08,319
Speaker 3: they changed their profile pick to Barbara Uh huh.

984
00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:10,320
Speaker 4: The one where he's like looking straight up the camera

985
00:46:10,360 --> 00:46:11,680
Speaker 4: and is like in the middle of a sentence.

986
00:46:11,920 --> 00:46:13,919
Speaker 3: That was their profile pick. So I don't know how long.

987
00:46:14,200 --> 00:46:17,399
Speaker 4: Then they tweeted another picture of a bedroom with every

988
00:46:17,440 --> 00:46:20,480
Speaker 4: picture of John Harbaugh on the bed, a little nightstand

989
00:46:20,800 --> 00:46:21,440
Speaker 4: with Jim Harbaugh.

990
00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:22,680
Speaker 3: So John Jim Harbaugh.

991
00:46:23,080 --> 00:46:25,680
Speaker 4: It was like a bedroom and like instead of pictures

992
00:46:25,719 --> 00:46:27,520
Speaker 4: of in sync and backstory boards, it's all pictures of

993
00:46:27,560 --> 00:46:28,040
Speaker 4: Jim Brba.

994
00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:30,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was so so funny.

995
00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:33,719
Speaker 2: They're happy, like give them a raise. I can't wait

996
00:46:33,760 --> 00:46:36,680
Speaker 2: for the first presser because I'm still waiting. We're still

997
00:46:36,680 --> 00:46:40,759
Speaker 2: waiting to hear. Yeah, hear everything. But let's not look

998
00:46:40,760 --> 00:46:42,880
Speaker 2: at like what he's up against, Okay, because when you

999
00:46:42,920 --> 00:46:46,359
Speaker 2: look at the division he has to do. They have

1000
00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:48,960
Speaker 2: to do better this year in the AFC West. You

1001
00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:51,440
Speaker 2: got the Chiefs. They'll always be tough as long as

1002
00:46:51,480 --> 00:46:54,640
Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes is healthy. The Raiders seem to have some

1003
00:46:54,760 --> 00:46:59,920
Speaker 2: momentum with their new coach and leader in Antonio Piers Another. Yeah, Bronco,

1004
00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:02,640
Speaker 2: Those were a bit of a mess, but they're rolling

1005
00:47:02,680 --> 00:47:05,319
Speaker 2: wish on Peyton and they're gonna do it his way,

1006
00:47:05,640 --> 00:47:09,399
Speaker 2: looking like without Russell Wilson most likely, no official things

1007
00:47:09,400 --> 00:47:11,040
Speaker 2: have been talked about yet.

1008
00:47:11,040 --> 00:47:13,400
Speaker 5: And then the Chargers, who only had five wins.

1009
00:47:13,239 --> 00:47:16,480
Speaker 2: Last season, which is crazy. It's still like with so

1010
00:47:16,560 --> 00:47:23,360
Speaker 2: many great pieces both sides. It's hard. Yeah, okay, but

1011
00:47:23,440 --> 00:47:26,080
Speaker 2: they have hope. You know, you have a chance with

1012
00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:29,760
Speaker 2: a head coach like Jim Harbaugh. He's won every place

1013
00:47:30,040 --> 00:47:33,720
Speaker 2: that he's coached, He's had success. So if history repeats itself,

1014
00:47:33,800 --> 00:47:35,600
Speaker 2: Chargers fans should be very excited.

1015
00:47:35,719 --> 00:47:37,520
Speaker 5: Yes, for the season. You're a Chargers fan.

1016
00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:38,480
Speaker 3: I am very excited.

1017
00:47:38,560 --> 00:47:40,640
Speaker 4: Okay, good, I'm looking forward to it. Even though I

1018
00:47:40,680 --> 00:47:42,160
Speaker 4: didn't think it was gonna happen. It wasn't that I

1019
00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:44,239
Speaker 4: didn't want it to happen. I just didn't believe it.

1020
00:47:44,600 --> 00:47:47,200
Speaker 5: I knew there's no way. You know, it was the

1021
00:47:47,239 --> 00:47:51,200
Speaker 5: only way. It's it's history. Yeah, he was a quarterback

1022
00:47:51,360 --> 00:47:54,480
Speaker 5: for the Chargers. Like what a full circle like coming

1023
00:47:54,560 --> 00:47:55,040
Speaker 5: back home?

1024
00:47:55,120 --> 00:47:55,200
Speaker 10: Ye?

1025
00:47:55,360 --> 00:47:55,440
Speaker 12: Like?

1026
00:47:55,480 --> 00:47:56,799
Speaker 5: And that's what he said. It felt like he was

1027
00:47:56,800 --> 00:47:57,560
Speaker 5: coming home.

1028
00:47:57,480 --> 00:47:59,120
Speaker 3: And to put them on the map again.

1029
00:47:59,120 --> 00:48:01,680
Speaker 5: Because immediately immediately after.

1030
00:48:01,560 --> 00:48:03,880
Speaker 4: Thought I would even say, after thought after the Clippers,

1031
00:48:04,040 --> 00:48:05,840
Speaker 4: which is even worse to say.

1032
00:48:05,680 --> 00:48:09,480
Speaker 2: As an NFL team, Yes, behind NBA team in like

1033
00:48:09,520 --> 00:48:11,359
Speaker 2: one of the biggest markets.

1034
00:48:11,160 --> 00:48:14,120
Speaker 4: Last team in LA that you probably think, it's just crazy.

1035
00:48:14,200 --> 00:48:18,760
Speaker 4: So it was very exciting that, Yeah, we got everything

1036
00:48:18,800 --> 00:48:19,440
Speaker 4: that you would.

1037
00:48:19,239 --> 00:48:19,919
Speaker 3: Want in a coach.

1038
00:48:20,840 --> 00:48:23,040
Speaker 7: Yeah, now get her don now get her done, and

1039
00:48:23,080 --> 00:48:24,160
Speaker 7: I think you gotta do it.

1040
00:48:24,160 --> 00:48:26,280
Speaker 2: That's what it comes down to. Now we got results,

1041
00:48:26,360 --> 00:48:27,800
Speaker 2: you got what you needed. Now we need results.

1042
00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:31,200
Speaker 5: Okay. So obviously a lot of spots got filled.

1043
00:48:31,239 --> 00:48:35,200
Speaker 2: Meaning there's only two coaching spots still available.

1044
00:48:35,280 --> 00:48:35,800
Speaker 3: That's crazy.

1045
00:48:35,840 --> 00:48:39,360
Speaker 2: You got the Commanders in the Seahawks with a lot

1046
00:48:39,400 --> 00:48:43,200
Speaker 2: of great coaches still available to name a few, Bill Belichick,

1047
00:48:43,239 --> 00:48:49,400
Speaker 2: Mike Rabel, Ben Johnson, Dan Quinn, Bobby Slowick, and again

1048
00:48:49,560 --> 00:48:52,840
Speaker 2: just two spots for all of those great names. So

1049
00:48:52,880 --> 00:48:55,960
Speaker 2: when you look at the Commanders, this is actually a

1050
00:48:56,000 --> 00:48:58,920
Speaker 2: really good opportunity. They have the second overall pick in

1051
00:48:58,960 --> 00:49:03,279
Speaker 2: the draft, so they're gonna get a franchise quarterback. They

1052
00:49:03,400 --> 00:49:06,560
Speaker 2: just hired Adam Peters, the former forty nine Ers assistant

1053
00:49:06,560 --> 00:49:09,760
Speaker 2: GM who helped put together one of those well rounded

1054
00:49:09,800 --> 00:49:13,440
Speaker 2: teams in the league and they're also looking like they're

1055
00:49:13,440 --> 00:49:15,759
Speaker 2: gonna have the most cap space in twenty twenty four meeting.

1056
00:49:15,800 --> 00:49:18,640
Speaker 2: They can go out and get some big free agents.

1057
00:49:18,640 --> 00:49:21,040
Speaker 2: They can take some big swings. And we talked about

1058
00:49:21,080 --> 00:49:25,200
Speaker 2: this last week when it all came out that Ben Johnson,

1059
00:49:25,520 --> 00:49:31,360
Speaker 2: the Lions offensive coordinator has you know, it was asked

1060
00:49:31,400 --> 00:49:34,680
Speaker 2: about it two weeks ago. Seems like he might be

1061
00:49:34,760 --> 00:49:37,200
Speaker 2: the best fit for the job, but they can't nothing

1062
00:49:37,200 --> 00:49:39,520
Speaker 2: can be made official because he's right in the middle

1063
00:49:39,640 --> 00:49:41,880
Speaker 2: of a.

1064
00:49:41,120 --> 00:49:42,000
Speaker 5: Super Bowl run.

1065
00:49:42,120 --> 00:49:43,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, as they're trying to win this weekend and get

1066
00:49:43,840 --> 00:49:46,000
Speaker 2: to the first Super Bowl in franchise history. I do

1067
00:49:46,040 --> 00:49:49,200
Speaker 2: think he will probably be the best fit, and they

1068
00:49:49,239 --> 00:49:52,960
Speaker 2: are just waiting to see how everything like.

1069
00:49:52,960 --> 00:49:55,920
Speaker 5: Kinda yeah, I'm with you, it holds with Lions.

1070
00:49:55,960 --> 00:49:58,040
Speaker 4: He also might be bringing somebody with him, are the

1071
00:49:58,120 --> 00:50:01,440
Speaker 4: rumors from the Lions offensive line coach Hank Frehley.

1072
00:50:01,800 --> 00:50:03,439
Speaker 3: So I feel like that's always.

1073
00:50:03,080 --> 00:50:05,399
Speaker 4: Really nice if I'm an owner and it's like, oh,

1074
00:50:05,440 --> 00:50:07,400
Speaker 4: you want to come with somebody that you've already worked with,

1075
00:50:07,640 --> 00:50:11,360
Speaker 4: if you have a relationship with a successful relationship, Like

1076
00:50:11,360 --> 00:50:13,279
Speaker 4: if I'm Josh Harris, I'm like, yeah, I like that,

1077
00:50:14,080 --> 00:50:15,960
Speaker 4: let's do that and then, like you said, I like

1078
00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:18,359
Speaker 4: everything about the Commanders that seems like a place you'd

1079
00:50:18,360 --> 00:50:20,000
Speaker 4: want to go, and kind.

1080
00:50:19,760 --> 00:50:21,160
Speaker 5: Of it's almost like a fresh start.

1081
00:50:21,160 --> 00:50:28,120
Speaker 2: It is around yep, so ownership, all of it, coaching, GM, quarterback,

1082
00:50:28,160 --> 00:50:30,520
Speaker 2: it's going to be a fresh start for everybody, everybody ever.

1083
00:50:30,600 --> 00:50:33,200
Speaker 4: And so yeah, I'm with you. I think they're just waiting.

1084
00:50:33,480 --> 00:50:35,920
Speaker 4: But I think Ben Johnson is being patient. So I'm

1085
00:50:35,960 --> 00:50:38,200
Speaker 4: sorry to your bestie Cynthia.

1086
00:50:38,360 --> 00:50:41,120
Speaker 5: Why yeah, I know she's like, don't leave us, don't

1087
00:50:41,160 --> 00:50:43,839
Speaker 5: touch it at that you're doing great. That means you're

1088
00:50:43,840 --> 00:50:44,680
Speaker 5: doing great. Okay.

1089
00:50:44,719 --> 00:50:48,160
Speaker 2: So the other coaching spot currently still available as a

1090
00:50:48,160 --> 00:50:51,920
Speaker 2: Seahawks and they have Gino Smith, but they'll probably look

1091
00:50:52,360 --> 00:50:54,200
Speaker 2: into getting.

1092
00:50:53,960 --> 00:50:55,560
Speaker 5: Another quarterback for the future.

1093
00:50:55,800 --> 00:50:58,239
Speaker 2: They have the sixteenth overall pick in the draft, so

1094
00:50:58,360 --> 00:51:01,080
Speaker 2: not really high enough to get one of the top

1095
00:51:01,239 --> 00:51:04,800
Speaker 2: guys that are available. But this one's interesting right because

1096
00:51:05,280 --> 00:51:07,640
Speaker 2: of the names that I mentioned that are available. Dan

1097
00:51:07,719 --> 00:51:10,520
Speaker 2: Quinn has history there as a defensive coordinator during the

1098
00:51:10,600 --> 00:51:13,520
Speaker 2: Legion of Boom. Mike Vrabel could be a great fit.

1099
00:51:13,600 --> 00:51:16,680
Speaker 2: So it's going to be interesting to see what they

1100
00:51:16,800 --> 00:51:19,920
Speaker 2: do when does Seahawks two. But I think the biggest surprise,

1101
00:51:20,280 --> 00:51:23,040
Speaker 2: Like all like this week, with all this news coming out,

1102
00:51:23,640 --> 00:51:25,840
Speaker 2: it's looking like Bill Belichick will not get a job

1103
00:51:26,560 --> 00:51:33,960
Speaker 2: this cycle after two interviews with Atlanta. My like, what

1104
00:51:34,080 --> 00:51:36,480
Speaker 2: I'm feeling in my gut is he probably went in

1105
00:51:36,520 --> 00:51:39,200
Speaker 2: there with the attitude it's my way or the highway,

1106
00:51:39,360 --> 00:51:42,799
Speaker 2: and they took the highway. And he wanted to go

1107
00:51:42,880 --> 00:51:44,840
Speaker 2: into a place where he had that same amount of

1108
00:51:44,880 --> 00:51:46,680
Speaker 2: control and power that he had in New England.

1109
00:51:46,960 --> 00:51:49,480
Speaker 5: And that's just not the case anymore. That's not what happens.

1110
00:51:49,480 --> 00:51:51,520
Speaker 2: You're not gonna be able to go in be the

1111
00:51:51,640 --> 00:51:55,279
Speaker 2: GM have all the say on both sides of the ball, and.

1112
00:51:57,440 --> 00:51:59,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, wasn't willing to work.

1113
00:51:59,440 --> 00:52:01,880
Speaker 3: And it's like, Belichick, how did you not realize that?

1114
00:52:02,040 --> 00:52:04,200
Speaker 5: If that's if because a who he is a tool

1115
00:52:04,320 --> 00:52:05,200
Speaker 5: is to his core.

1116
00:52:06,200 --> 00:52:09,080
Speaker 4: You gotta you've got to realize, like read the writing

1117
00:52:09,440 --> 00:52:12,120
Speaker 4: on the wall like that, that's not what anybody would

1118
00:52:12,200 --> 00:52:13,319
Speaker 4: want at this but he's not.

1119
00:52:13,360 --> 00:52:14,359
Speaker 5: But this is just who he is.

1120
00:52:14,400 --> 00:52:17,319
Speaker 2: He's not an easy guy to get along with. And

1121
00:52:17,719 --> 00:52:21,520
Speaker 2: are you gonna hand over your organization and your future

1122
00:52:21,560 --> 00:52:26,120
Speaker 2: to someone like that? And yeah, going on the other

1123
00:52:26,160 --> 00:52:28,520
Speaker 2: side of the thing, who they went with Raheem Morris,

1124
00:52:28,840 --> 00:52:31,720
Speaker 2: who was their interim coach back in twenty twenty.

1125
00:52:32,200 --> 00:52:35,320
Speaker 5: He had he had people calling in on his behalf.

1126
00:52:35,400 --> 00:52:38,839
Speaker 2: Sean McVay, Kyle Shanahan called to vouch for him, and

1127
00:52:38,880 --> 00:52:41,319
Speaker 2: he probably came in with the plan of how they

1128
00:52:41,360 --> 00:52:43,919
Speaker 2: could win and work together to get there.

1129
00:52:44,480 --> 00:52:45,880
Speaker 5: He's looking towards the future.

1130
00:52:46,040 --> 00:52:48,640
Speaker 4: There was obviously, though, something that went right at the

1131
00:52:48,680 --> 00:52:51,719
Speaker 4: beginning talking to Belichick because they saw him again. But

1132
00:52:51,800 --> 00:52:54,759
Speaker 4: what if is its simple as maybe we just want

1133
00:52:55,200 --> 00:52:56,960
Speaker 4: a younger voice.

1134
00:52:57,960 --> 00:52:59,040
Speaker 3: What if it's that simple.

1135
00:52:59,600 --> 00:53:02,120
Speaker 4: There's a change, a culture change in the NFL. What

1136
00:53:02,360 --> 00:53:04,960
Speaker 4: if you just want somebody younger that can relate to

1137
00:53:05,040 --> 00:53:08,040
Speaker 4: your players. Even though Belichick brings so.

1138
00:53:08,080 --> 00:53:11,600
Speaker 2: Much positive thinks everything, I think that's definitely a part

1139
00:53:11,640 --> 00:53:16,040
Speaker 2: of it, because you're not like, like you're excited for

1140
00:53:16,320 --> 00:53:19,360
Speaker 2: the like the legendary legacy that you're about to like

1141
00:53:19,520 --> 00:53:24,200
Speaker 2: learn from. Right, But even Tom Brady couldn't stand him anymore.

1142
00:53:24,280 --> 00:53:27,120
Speaker 2: Like there were reports that like four years before he left,

1143
00:53:27,120 --> 00:53:29,720
Speaker 2: Tom was like, I am ready to leave. I can't

1144
00:53:29,719 --> 00:53:32,560
Speaker 2: take this anymore. Like there's only so much we can take.

1145
00:53:33,080 --> 00:53:38,480
Speaker 2: And the way that everything has been evolving and changing

1146
00:53:38,600 --> 00:53:43,040
Speaker 2: and conversations and mental health and everything around. It is

1147
00:53:43,160 --> 00:53:46,880
Speaker 2: just a new It's a new way of motivating and

1148
00:53:46,960 --> 00:53:49,840
Speaker 2: a new way of inspiring, a new way of thinking.

1149
00:53:50,840 --> 00:53:53,200
Speaker 3: And if you weren't willing to change, you.

1150
00:53:53,160 --> 00:53:53,760
Speaker 5: Got to adapt.

1151
00:53:53,880 --> 00:53:57,920
Speaker 2: You have to in every in every aspect of life,

1152
00:53:58,200 --> 00:54:00,360
Speaker 2: you have to adapt. I tell that with my parents

1153
00:54:00,360 --> 00:54:02,440
Speaker 2: and technology, like I don't want to get it. I'm like,

1154
00:54:02,480 --> 00:54:04,879
Speaker 2: but you don't want to fall behind? Do you get

00:54:12,000 --> 00:54:14,279
Speaker 2: do it for you. I am going to teach you

1159
00:54:14,360 --> 00:54:15,759
Speaker 2: so you can do it and keep up. My mom's

Speaker 2: hilarious on social media. Oh my gosh.

1161
00:54:17,960 --> 00:54:21,120
Speaker 5: But it's like that. It's every aspect of life, like

1162
00:54:21,239 --> 00:54:23,640
Speaker 5: I have to if you want to.

1163
00:54:23,600 --> 00:54:29,279
Speaker 2: Stay within like the pop culture, in any sport, at

1164
00:54:29,760 --> 00:54:33,960
Speaker 2: any technology life, you have to be willing to adapt

1165
00:54:34,000 --> 00:54:38,279
Speaker 2: and change, learn, learn, listen, like just be willing. And

1166
00:54:38,320 --> 00:54:42,719
Speaker 2: he probably wasn't, And he probably probably wasn't, but hey,

1167
00:54:43,440 --> 00:54:46,560
Speaker 2: who knows. Maybe takes a year and maybe there's another opening,

1168
00:54:48,080 --> 00:54:49,160
Speaker 2: maybe the Cowboys.

1169
00:54:49,560 --> 00:54:52,080
Speaker 5: If I McCarthy doesn't do well next year.

1170
00:54:52,120 --> 00:54:53,799
Speaker 2: All Right, we're gonna take a quick break here, but

1171
00:54:53,840 --> 00:54:56,759
Speaker 2: when we come back, the top five difference makers in

1172
00:54:56,880 --> 00:54:59,239
Speaker 2: Championship Weekend we're gonna run through that. You're listening to

1173
00:54:59,280 --> 00:55:02,880
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio. Welcome back to Fox Sports Saturday, Am.

1174
00:55:02,920 --> 00:55:06,279
Speaker 2: Alex Curry here with Manci Bilanios. We are broadcasting live

1175
00:55:06,320 --> 00:55:08,840
Speaker 2: from Tyrek dot com Studios in Los Angeles.

1176
00:55:08,880 --> 00:55:10,480
Speaker 5: I am feeling the.

1177
00:55:10,600 --> 00:55:15,000
Speaker 2: Vibes, the rock vibe today. Waken me up, even though

1178
00:55:15,040 --> 00:55:18,319
Speaker 2: it's the afternoon here. Music just does that to me. Okay,

1179
00:55:18,360 --> 00:55:23,200
Speaker 2: Happy Championship weekend, and to celebrate, we're gonna run through

1180
00:55:23,640 --> 00:55:28,480
Speaker 2: the top five difference makers, not only like are they

1181
00:55:29,120 --> 00:55:33,880
Speaker 2: could be, you know, the best players on each I

1182
00:55:33,880 --> 00:55:36,640
Speaker 2: guess each championship game because we're gonna do like both.

1183
00:55:36,400 --> 00:55:39,319
Speaker 5: Both find Yeah.

1184
00:55:38,600 --> 00:55:40,839
Speaker 2: But I believe these are the five players that will

1185
00:55:40,880 --> 00:55:44,520
Speaker 2: determine the outcome of these games.

1186
00:55:45,200 --> 00:55:46,239
Speaker 5: All right, Okay, I.

1187
00:55:46,239 --> 00:55:47,799
Speaker 4: Mean we're gonna I may have different I may have

1188
00:55:47,840 --> 00:55:49,239
Speaker 4: a taken a different approach on this, but.

1189
00:55:49,560 --> 00:55:52,520
Speaker 5: Okay, okay, yeah, yeah, well that will be mine.

1190
00:55:52,640 --> 00:55:54,520
Speaker 3: No, no, no, We're good.

1191
00:55:54,560 --> 00:55:55,359
Speaker 5: Yeah that was the point.

1192
00:55:55,440 --> 00:55:59,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, for Sureka, We're gonna start with the AFC championship.

1193
00:55:59,239 --> 00:55:59,799
Speaker 3: Okay, go for it.

1194
00:56:00,000 --> 00:56:00,320
Speaker 5: Okay.

1195
00:56:00,760 --> 00:56:04,080
Speaker 2: One through five difference makers here, got it. Number one

1196
00:56:04,160 --> 00:56:08,240
Speaker 2: for me. Patrick Mahomes, He's got the experience, his sixth

1197
00:56:08,400 --> 00:56:11,279
Speaker 2: straight AFC championship game. He knows how to win in

1198
00:56:11,320 --> 00:56:15,880
Speaker 2: the postseason. Still the best player in the league. Mad respect.

1199
00:56:16,520 --> 00:56:18,800
Speaker 2: I don't think anyone thought the way the season was

1200
00:56:18,880 --> 00:56:20,680
Speaker 2: kind of going mid end, they were going to be

1201
00:56:20,719 --> 00:56:24,600
Speaker 2: here and look here he is once again.

1202
00:56:25,440 --> 00:56:26,360
Speaker 5: So he's number one for me.

1203
00:56:26,440 --> 00:56:27,200
Speaker 3: Gotcha.

1204
00:56:27,520 --> 00:56:32,000
Speaker 2: Number two, Lamar Jackson, he is the MVP this season.

1205
00:56:32,360 --> 00:56:36,200
Speaker 2: He is an incredible dual threat. He's changing the game

1206
00:56:36,239 --> 00:56:38,759
Speaker 2: and really what it means to be a quarterback, not

1207
00:56:38,840 --> 00:56:41,280
Speaker 2: just throwing, but rushing like it is insane.

1208
00:56:41,280 --> 00:56:42,040
Speaker 5: He leads.

1209
00:56:42,360 --> 00:56:45,520
Speaker 2: He's got the twenty second most rushing yards in the league,

1210
00:56:45,560 --> 00:56:48,760
Speaker 2: meaning he has more than some starting running backs.

1211
00:56:48,800 --> 00:56:49,840
Speaker 5: It's absolutely insane.

1212
00:56:49,880 --> 00:56:54,120
Speaker 2: So if he is top tier on both of those

1213
00:56:54,360 --> 00:56:57,440
Speaker 2: on his game tomorrow a problem, He's going to be

1214
00:56:57,480 --> 00:56:57,880
Speaker 2: the reason.

1215
00:56:58,280 --> 00:56:58,719
Speaker 5: Number three.

1216
00:56:58,760 --> 00:57:03,359
Speaker 2: Travis Kelcey, Kelsey and Mahomes have the most playoff touchdowns

1217
00:57:03,400 --> 00:57:07,919
Speaker 2: by any quarterback receiver duo. With the two touchdowns last week,

1218
00:57:08,000 --> 00:57:12,120
Speaker 2: they passed Brady and Gronk. That's great, even though Kelsey

1219
00:57:12,280 --> 00:57:15,840
Speaker 2: isn't one hundred percent and hasn't been the best he

1220
00:57:15,880 --> 00:57:16,800
Speaker 2: could be all season.

1221
00:57:17,080 --> 00:57:20,880
Speaker 5: Once again, here they are back.

1222
00:57:20,840 --> 00:57:25,680
Speaker 2: In the AFC Championship Game. So if they're on, it's

1223
00:57:25,680 --> 00:57:26,640
Speaker 2: hard to bet against him.

1224
00:57:27,360 --> 00:57:27,720
Speaker 5: Okay.

1225
00:57:28,080 --> 00:57:31,880
Speaker 2: Number four Rokwan Smith the Ravens defense. He led this

1226
00:57:32,000 --> 00:57:35,560
Speaker 2: team in tackles the season, fifth most in the entire league.

1227
00:57:35,880 --> 00:57:38,680
Speaker 2: Since the Ravens required him last season, they've had the

1228
00:57:38,840 --> 00:57:42,920
Speaker 2: number one total defense. If Smith can show up the

1229
00:57:42,920 --> 00:57:45,160
Speaker 2: way that we know he can, I mean he's gonna

1230
00:57:45,200 --> 00:57:49,840
Speaker 2: have to. He's gonna have to if the Ravens want

1231
00:57:49,840 --> 00:57:52,600
Speaker 2: to get to the Super Bowl. And then finally, number

1232
00:57:52,600 --> 00:57:57,000
Speaker 2: five Chris Jones Chiefs defense. Eleven sacks is season second

1233
00:57:57,080 --> 00:58:00,280
Speaker 2: most by any interior lineman in the league, highest rated

1234
00:58:00,320 --> 00:58:03,120
Speaker 2: defensive player on either team.

1235
00:58:03,720 --> 00:58:04,120
Speaker 5: So if he.

1236
00:58:04,160 --> 00:58:06,680
Speaker 2: Shows up, that's gonna be good for the Chiefs. But

1237
00:58:06,720 --> 00:58:11,760
Speaker 2: I got three of my five here are Chiefs. Yeah,

1238
00:58:11,880 --> 00:58:14,720
Speaker 2: so I did a slightly different approach. Okay, so let's

1239
00:58:14,760 --> 00:58:16,080
Speaker 2: go your AMC Championship game.

1240
00:58:16,080 --> 00:58:18,120
Speaker 4: Top five players the top See I didn't I didn't

1241
00:58:18,120 --> 00:58:18,920
Speaker 4: take it as players.

1242
00:58:18,960 --> 00:58:20,440
Speaker 3: I just was like, what are the factors?

1243
00:58:20,520 --> 00:58:20,680
Speaker 9: Right?

1244
00:58:21,360 --> 00:58:24,640
Speaker 4: Number one, both O lines. Both O lines are going

1245
00:58:24,720 --> 00:58:27,360
Speaker 4: up against the toughest defenses. Okay, so how are they

1246
00:58:27,360 --> 00:58:29,360
Speaker 4: going to protect their quarterbacks? How are they gonna deal

1247
00:58:29,360 --> 00:58:31,640
Speaker 4: with the pressures, the schemes. That's what's gonna be the

1248
00:58:31,680 --> 00:58:33,640
Speaker 4: difference maker. So to me, the number one, it's both

1249
00:58:33,640 --> 00:58:37,320
Speaker 4: O lines, got it? Number two? Both defenses, again, the

1250
00:58:37,360 --> 00:58:40,800
Speaker 4: best defenses going up against each other. One and two

1251
00:58:41,120 --> 00:58:43,440
Speaker 4: fewest points allowed this season. Is it going to be

1252
00:58:43,440 --> 00:58:45,160
Speaker 4: a shootout? Is it gonna be a low scoring game

1253
00:58:45,160 --> 00:58:47,920
Speaker 4: because the defense is controlling the pace and the rhythm.

1254
00:58:48,200 --> 00:58:50,840
Speaker 4: I don't know, but this is the first conference championship

1255
00:58:50,920 --> 00:58:54,080
Speaker 4: game between the top two scoring defenses since two thousand

1256
00:58:54,080 --> 00:58:56,600
Speaker 4: and four. So to me, first the O line, Yeah,

1257
00:58:56,640 --> 00:58:58,720
Speaker 4: then the defense. Okay, all right, now I'm gonna start

1258
00:58:58,720 --> 00:59:02,440
Speaker 4: with players. Okayumber three, Lamar Jackson. Lamar Jackson is gonna

1259
00:59:02,520 --> 00:59:06,600
Speaker 4: do damage one way or another. Right, I'm interested to

1260
00:59:06,680 --> 00:59:09,920
Speaker 4: see which bleed the Chiefs are gonna try to stop.

1261
00:59:10,000 --> 00:59:11,440
Speaker 5: Like, what are they gonna push him to do more

1262
00:59:11,480 --> 00:59:12,680
Speaker 5: than the other runner pass?

1263
00:59:12,840 --> 00:59:16,360
Speaker 2: Exactly because he's do you know what, He's gonna like

1264
00:59:16,480 --> 00:59:18,880
Speaker 2: audible and do whatever feels right in that moment exactly.

1265
00:59:18,960 --> 00:59:20,880
Speaker 4: But you know they're gonna take an approach for one

1266
00:59:20,920 --> 00:59:23,920
Speaker 4: way to stop, to try and stop one bleed, but

1267
00:59:24,120 --> 00:59:26,800
Speaker 4: he's gonna he's going to do damage one way or

1268
00:59:26,840 --> 00:59:30,560
Speaker 4: the other. Number four, Travis Kelcey, Kelsey, you have hid.

1269
00:59:31,480 --> 00:59:33,120
Speaker 4: I don't even have my homes because my's gonna be

1270
00:59:33,120 --> 00:59:36,360
Speaker 4: my homes. I didn't even He's just gonna be Patrick Maholmes.

1271
00:59:36,480 --> 00:59:39,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, like he needs to be in order for

1272
00:59:39,440 --> 00:59:40,880
Speaker 2: them to win. So he is a difference maker.

1273
00:59:41,000 --> 00:59:43,680
Speaker 4: So I think he's gonna I took this as home's

1274
00:59:43,680 --> 00:59:45,040
Speaker 4: gonna be ma homes. He's gonna do what he does

1275
00:59:45,120 --> 00:59:49,480
Speaker 4: no matter what he needs. Travis Kelsey, He's Travis Kelcey

1276
00:59:49,640 --> 00:59:51,000
Speaker 4: to have the greatest game of his life.

1277
00:59:51,000 --> 00:59:52,439
Speaker 3: Okay, you just mentioned.

1278
00:59:52,080 --> 00:59:55,880
Speaker 4: He didn't have the best season. He didn't look great

1279
00:59:55,920 --> 00:59:58,120
Speaker 4: at times, looked sluggish. Yeah, you know what I mean.

1280
00:59:58,280 --> 01:00:02,040
Speaker 4: And so he needs to be present so that if

1281
01:00:02,080 --> 01:00:05,000
Speaker 4: they're not scared of Travis kelce then Travis Kelcey needs

1282
01:00:05,000 --> 01:00:06,120
Speaker 4: to be a weapon, you know what I mean. Like,

1283
01:00:06,440 --> 01:00:08,880
Speaker 4: if he's not out there doing something, Baltimore is gonna

1284
01:00:08,920 --> 01:00:09,880
Speaker 4: have a field day.

1285
01:00:09,920 --> 01:00:11,760
Speaker 3: They're just going to run with it and it's not

1286
01:00:11,800 --> 01:00:12,480
Speaker 3: even gonna be fun.

1287
01:00:13,160 --> 01:00:16,960
Speaker 4: Five Rashi Rice is who I have because you can't

1288
01:00:16,960 --> 01:00:20,120
Speaker 4: just have one Patrick Mahomes can't just have one weapon.

1289
01:00:20,440 --> 01:00:23,040
Speaker 4: He needs somebody else to spread that really good defense.

1290
01:00:23,640 --> 01:00:24,600
Speaker 4: If Baltimore only.

1291
01:00:24,520 --> 01:00:26,800
Speaker 5: Has to focus on one player toop.

1292
01:00:26,680 --> 01:00:28,520
Speaker 3: Oh my, it's gonna be so easy for them.

1293
01:00:28,600 --> 01:00:28,760
Speaker 6: Yep.

1294
01:00:28,880 --> 01:00:30,880
Speaker 3: Rashie Rice needs to step up for Mahomes.

1295
01:00:30,880 --> 01:00:33,160
Speaker 2: Okay, let's get to the NFC Championship game. We're gonna

1296
01:00:33,160 --> 01:00:35,040
Speaker 2: we're gonna breeze through this ro quick, go for it.

1297
01:00:35,160 --> 01:00:38,680
Speaker 2: Number one Christian McCaffrey. This man will be a huge

1298
01:00:38,720 --> 01:00:41,600
Speaker 2: determining factor in this game. If he can continue what

1299
01:00:41,640 --> 01:00:44,680
Speaker 2: he's done all season, he's gonna be just fine.

1300
01:00:45,400 --> 01:00:47,320
Speaker 5: Number two Jared Goff.

1301
01:00:48,080 --> 01:00:51,760
Speaker 2: He's been here before playing clean football, and at this

1302
01:00:51,800 --> 01:00:53,680
Speaker 2: point that's all you can ask for. He hasn't thrown

1303
01:00:53,720 --> 01:00:55,600
Speaker 2: a pick in the playoffs this season. He needs to

1304
01:00:55,680 --> 01:00:57,440
Speaker 2: keep that going against a team like the forty nine

1305
01:00:57,520 --> 01:01:00,880
Speaker 2: Ers because they will make you pay for it. Deebo Samuels,

1306
01:01:00,880 --> 01:01:02,760
Speaker 2: he just came off the injury report on Friday.

1307
01:01:02,800 --> 01:01:03,880
Speaker 5: I have him at number three.

1308
01:01:04,240 --> 01:01:07,360
Speaker 2: He missed most of last week's game with that shoulder injury.

1309
01:01:07,480 --> 01:01:13,360
Speaker 2: So this team, the forty nine Ers win seventy percent

1310
01:01:13,400 --> 01:01:16,680
Speaker 2: of the games that he plays. Debo needs to play

1311
01:01:16,720 --> 01:01:21,240
Speaker 2: and stay healthy. Four Aiden Hutchinson. He's gonna have to

1312
01:01:21,360 --> 01:01:23,840
Speaker 2: lead this Detroit defense to slow down one of the

1313
01:01:23,880 --> 01:01:27,680
Speaker 2: most stacks offenses in the league. And then five Brock Purty.

1314
01:01:28,240 --> 01:01:29,919
Speaker 2: He needs to have a better game than last week.

1315
01:01:30,040 --> 01:01:32,640
Speaker 2: He knows that he can't have any giveaways or interceptions.

1316
01:01:32,640 --> 01:01:33,720
Speaker 2: He needs a clean game.

1317
01:01:33,800 --> 01:01:35,200
Speaker 3: All right, God so NFC.

1318
01:01:35,280 --> 01:01:38,000
Speaker 4: Number one Brock Party, he needs to have a different

1319
01:01:38,040 --> 01:01:40,280
Speaker 4: game than last week. He needs to deliver yep. He

1320
01:01:40,320 --> 01:01:44,600
Speaker 4: has to come out swinging. Number two Aiden Hutchinson. If

1321
01:01:44,720 --> 01:01:48,680
Speaker 4: Hutchinson makes Purty uncomfortable early in the game, huh, that's

1322
01:01:48,720 --> 01:01:50,440
Speaker 4: not gonna go well for San Francisco.

1323
01:01:50,560 --> 01:01:50,600
Speaker 18: No.

1324
01:01:50,880 --> 01:01:55,800
Speaker 4: Aiden Hutchinson has so much power If he comes out swinging, oh, Lions,

1325
01:01:55,960 --> 01:01:57,520
Speaker 4: Lions are gonna be a problem.

1326
01:01:57,680 --> 01:02:00,880
Speaker 3: Number three Christian McCaffrey. He is a dual threat running

1327
01:02:00,920 --> 01:02:01,280
Speaker 3: back to me.

1328
01:02:01,440 --> 01:02:02,720
Speaker 4: You don't know what he's gonna do. It's gonna catch

1329
01:02:02,720 --> 01:02:04,360
Speaker 4: the ball or is he gonna run? They use him

1330
01:02:04,440 --> 01:02:06,920
Speaker 4: all over the place. He's gonna get his way one

1331
01:02:06,960 --> 01:02:09,120
Speaker 4: way or another, just like Lamar Jackson.

1332
01:02:09,440 --> 01:02:10,640
Speaker 3: Number four Jared Goff.

1333
01:02:11,120 --> 01:02:14,160
Speaker 4: He has not thrown an interception in the postseason, but

1334
01:02:14,240 --> 01:02:16,320
Speaker 4: we saw some mental mistakes towards the end of the

1335
01:02:16,360 --> 01:02:19,000
Speaker 4: regular season that, like you know, you hopefully it was

1336
01:02:19,040 --> 01:02:21,600
Speaker 4: just mental mistakes at the end. But definitely he does

1337
01:02:21,640 --> 01:02:24,360
Speaker 4: not need to play hero Ball, not Jared Goff and

1338
01:02:24,440 --> 01:02:27,080
Speaker 4: number five Deebo Samuel because like you, Jo said, when

1339
01:02:27,120 --> 01:02:29,040
Speaker 4: Deebo is on the field, the forty nine ers are

1340
01:02:29,080 --> 01:02:29,880
Speaker 4: a different team.

1341
01:02:30,280 --> 01:02:31,360
Speaker 3: They need him.

1342
01:02:31,600 --> 01:02:34,520
Speaker 4: They are when he played a full game San Francisco

1343
01:02:34,520 --> 01:02:37,040
Speaker 4: win twelve to two while averaging thirty one point four points,

1344
01:02:37,160 --> 01:02:39,600
Speaker 4: four hundred and twelve yards per game. No, he's he

1345
01:02:39,720 --> 01:02:41,560
Speaker 4: is a big difference maker. And the fact that he

1346
01:02:41,640 --> 01:02:44,560
Speaker 4: is playing and almost one hundred percent, as Tracy told us, yep,

1347
01:02:45,360 --> 01:02:47,000
Speaker 4: it's everything in San Francisco needs.

1348
01:02:47,080 --> 01:02:47,320
Speaker 12: Yeah.

1349
01:02:47,520 --> 01:02:50,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, so we had almost all the same yeah players.

1350
01:02:50,120 --> 01:02:52,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, just a different orders, just a different order. But yeah, yeah,

1351
01:02:52,520 --> 01:02:55,040
Speaker 2: same five. Yeah, difference makers need to show up.

1352
01:02:55,080 --> 01:02:56,800
Speaker 5: All right. Now, let's check in with Martin Weiss and

1353
01:02:56,840 --> 01:02:57,800
Speaker 5: see what's trending.

1354
01:03:01,160 --> 01:03:03,120
Speaker 12: We got one game going right now in the NBA.

1355
01:03:03,320 --> 01:03:04,560
Speaker 6: The Knicks one twenty four.

1356
01:03:04,840 --> 01:03:08,000
Speaker 12: Miami Heat won twenty with about two minutes left in

1357
01:03:08,040 --> 01:03:10,200
Speaker 12: the fourth quarter. This game was tied eighty six apiece.

1358
01:03:10,360 --> 01:03:13,840
Speaker 12: Last time we checked in. So Knick's offensive explosion in

1359
01:03:13,920 --> 01:03:16,720
Speaker 12: the fourth quarter, the game coming up at the bottom

1360
01:03:16,760 --> 01:03:18,520
Speaker 12: of the hour about to tip off here between the

1361
01:03:18,520 --> 01:03:22,280
Speaker 12: seventy sixers and the Nuggets. Adrian Rojoranowski says, Joel Embiide

1362
01:03:22,640 --> 01:03:25,680
Speaker 12: ruled out for today's game against then Coole yakat the

1363
01:03:25,720 --> 01:03:26,480
Speaker 12: Denver Nuggets.

1364
01:03:27,040 --> 01:03:30,080
Speaker 5: So it's not good. It's not the best.

1365
01:03:30,280 --> 01:03:33,120
Speaker 3: No for the MVP, it's not the best.

1366
01:03:33,280 --> 01:03:36,640
Speaker 4: I think he can only miss nowt like seven more games.

1367
01:03:36,880 --> 01:03:38,880
Speaker 12: You know, I'll have that number next time, but it's

1368
01:03:38,920 --> 01:03:41,800
Speaker 12: coming up. No, seriously, No, he's pushing on the sixty

1369
01:03:41,880 --> 01:03:44,840
Speaker 12: five game minimum. Yeah, to not be able to defend

1370
01:03:44,840 --> 01:03:47,240
Speaker 12: his own title. So you'd like to see him playing,

1371
01:03:47,320 --> 01:03:50,400
Speaker 12: especially like to see him playing against Nicole yone. That

1372
01:03:50,400 --> 01:03:52,640
Speaker 12: would have been fun to see, but we won't. What

1373
01:03:52,840 --> 01:03:54,600
Speaker 12: was also not fun to see the Wizards beat the

1374
01:03:54,600 --> 01:03:57,760
Speaker 12: Pistons earlier today one eighteen to one oh four Wizards

1375
01:03:57,800 --> 01:04:00,560
Speaker 12: eight and thirty seven, Pistons five and forty. So you

1376
01:04:00,640 --> 01:04:04,080
Speaker 12: got that going college hoops right now today. Earlier today

1377
01:04:04,080 --> 01:04:06,760

01:05:06,040 --> 01:05:09,480
Speaker 12: Eric Washington is their new defensive coordinator, but head coach

1400
01:05:09,480 --> 01:05:12,680
Speaker 12: Matti Reflutch will continue to call plays. New England Patriots

1401
01:05:12,720 --> 01:05:16,880
Speaker 12: planning to promote defensive line coach DeMarcus Covington. Sorry, DeMarcus

1402
01:05:16,920 --> 01:05:20,000
Speaker 12: Cousins is playing in Taiwan right now. DeMarcus Covington will

1403
01:05:20,040 --> 01:05:22,960
Speaker 12: be the new defensive coordinator for the New England Patriots.

1404
01:05:23,120 --> 01:05:23,920
Speaker 3: Back to you, guys.

1405
01:05:24,680 --> 01:05:26,840
Speaker 2: Thank you Martin, you're listening to Fox Sports Saturday and

1406
01:05:26,880 --> 01:05:29,600
Speaker 2: Alex Curry here with Monsey Blanios. We are broadcasting live

1407
01:05:29,640 --> 01:05:32,720
Speaker 2: from the Tyrek dot Com studios in Los Angeles. Thank

1408
01:05:32,760 --> 01:05:35,200
Speaker 2: you for spending your Saturday afternoon with Monsey and me.

1409
01:05:35,280 --> 01:05:38,840
Speaker 2: But it is time for our next guest, Fox Sports

1410
01:05:38,960 --> 01:05:42,280
Speaker 2: NFL reporter, the best friend of the show. Let's bring

1411
01:05:42,280 --> 01:05:45,880
Speaker 2: in Carmen Vitally right now. Carmen, thank you so much

1412
01:05:45,920 --> 01:05:46,600
Speaker 2: for joining us.

1413
01:05:47,240 --> 01:05:49,520
Speaker 13: Oh, of course, anytime for you guys that.

1414
01:05:49,640 --> 01:05:51,840
Speaker 5: Oh we know, which is what we use you.

1415
01:05:52,160 --> 01:05:56,440
Speaker 2: Okay, let's start with the AFC Championship game. Because we

1416
01:05:56,560 --> 01:06:00,800
Speaker 2: have two MVP quarterbacks facing each for the first time

1417
01:06:00,840 --> 01:06:04,760
Speaker 2: in the playoffs. What are you expecting from what Lamar

1418
01:06:04,880 --> 01:06:07,480
Speaker 2: Jackson called a heavyweight matchup.

1419
01:06:08,280 --> 01:06:09,720
Speaker 19: It's going to be back in course.

1420
01:06:09,760 --> 01:06:11,600
Speaker 13: I mean, I don't think that there's a question about that.

1421
01:06:11,680 --> 01:06:12,960
Speaker 19: Right. There was five lead.

1422
01:06:12,960 --> 01:06:16,400
Speaker 13: Changes in that Kansas City game against Buffalo. I mean

1423
01:06:16,400 --> 01:06:18,720
Speaker 13: the Kansas City Chiefs barely squeaked out by the skin

1424
01:06:18,960 --> 01:06:22,520
Speaker 13: of a field goal that went awry. So I think

1425
01:06:22,520 --> 01:06:24,520
Speaker 13: that in that case, this is going to be a

1426
01:06:24,560 --> 01:06:26,440
Speaker 13: back and forth thing. And you look at what the

1427
01:06:26,520 --> 01:06:29,440
Speaker 13: Raiders were able to do against the Texans in the

1428
01:06:29,520 --> 01:06:32,800
Speaker 13: game in last game, and they scored twenty four unanswered

1429
01:06:32,840 --> 01:06:35,080
Speaker 13: in that second half, So they're coming in with a

1430
01:06:35,080 --> 01:06:37,520
Speaker 13: bunch of momentum where I think the Chiefs kind of

1431
01:06:37,560 --> 01:06:40,200
Speaker 13: barely scraped by. And this isn't the Chiefs team we're

1432
01:06:40,240 --> 01:06:40,680
Speaker 13: used to seeing.

1433
01:06:40,720 --> 01:06:42,000
Speaker 19: They they don't look.

1434
01:06:41,920 --> 01:06:44,480
Speaker 13: Unbeatable, but at the same time, they have the most

1435
01:06:44,520 --> 01:06:48,920
Speaker 13: experience in these these conference championship games. I believe Attatch

1436
01:06:49,000 --> 01:06:51,960
Speaker 13: mahomes fifth any averages over three hundred yards a game

1437
01:06:52,040 --> 01:06:54,880
Speaker 13: in AFA championship games alone, which is crazy.

1438
01:06:54,640 --> 01:06:56,080
Speaker 5: Game crazy great.

1439
01:06:56,200 --> 01:07:00,840
Speaker 4: So, Carmen, if you were Andy Reid, you're running the

1440
01:07:00,880 --> 01:07:04,560
Speaker 4: Chiefs right now, what bleed would you stop from Lamar Jackson?

1441
01:07:04,600 --> 01:07:07,000
Speaker 4: Would you try and push him to throw or would

1442
01:07:07,040 --> 01:07:09,080
Speaker 4: you try and push him to run because you know

1443
01:07:09,080 --> 01:07:10,800
Speaker 4: there's going to do damage either way.

1444
01:07:10,840 --> 01:07:12,320
Speaker 3: But what approach would you take.

1445
01:07:13,080 --> 01:07:14,760
Speaker 13: I was gonna say, I don't know that it matters.

1446
01:07:14,760 --> 01:07:18,439
Speaker 13: I mean Laan Jackson he had he had by far

1447
01:07:18,520 --> 01:07:22,160
Speaker 13: his most passing yards this year in the regular season,

1448
01:07:22,720 --> 01:07:25,640
Speaker 13: and then he was able to rush for the third

1449
01:07:25,720 --> 01:07:27,959
Speaker 13: most yards in his career.

1450
01:07:27,680 --> 01:07:28,720
Speaker 19: In the regular season.

1451
01:07:28,800 --> 01:07:32,960
Speaker 13: He is he is just an incredible athlete, but an

1452
01:07:32,960 --> 01:07:35,440
Speaker 13: incredible quarterback that is so well rounded that if you

1453
01:07:35,560 --> 01:07:37,960
Speaker 13: take away the pass, he can beat you on the ground.

1454
01:07:38,000 --> 01:07:40,040
Speaker 13: That's when he did against the Texans this last game.

1455
01:07:40,360 --> 01:07:42,040
Speaker 13: He went for over one hundred yards. I believe that

1456
01:07:42,080 --> 01:07:44,240
Speaker 13: was only his second or third game this season over

1457
01:07:44,280 --> 01:07:47,600
Speaker 13: one hundred yards rushing, and he'd began two touchdowns, two

1458
01:07:47,640 --> 01:07:50,520
Speaker 13: rushing touchdowns, but then he also threw for two touchdowns.

1459
01:07:50,560 --> 01:07:53,920
Speaker 13: And I don't know what the best course of action is,

1460
01:07:53,960 --> 01:07:57,840
Speaker 13: but I think that bags De Sanyolo, the defensive coordinator

1461
01:07:57,840 --> 01:07:59,840
Speaker 13: in Kansas City. He's one of those guys. He gets

1462
01:08:00,120 --> 01:08:02,360
Speaker 13: creative with the blitz. He really tries to confuse you.

1463
01:08:02,480 --> 01:08:05,240
Speaker 13: He's got a lot of different things in his arsenal

1464
01:08:05,280 --> 01:08:07,160
Speaker 13: that he's going to try to bring out to make

1465
01:08:07,280 --> 01:08:08,400
Speaker 13: Lamar Jackson think.

1466
01:08:08,680 --> 01:08:11,480
Speaker 19: I think that's maybe the only way.

1467
01:08:11,160 --> 01:08:13,959
Speaker 13: Really slow him down is not not that he can't,

1468
01:08:14,080 --> 01:08:16,800
Speaker 13: but you have to make him kind of account for

1469
01:08:16,880 --> 01:08:19,519
Speaker 13: what your defense is doing. That that defense is going

1470
01:08:19,520 --> 01:08:22,400
Speaker 13: to act like an offense in Kansas City and going

1471
01:08:22,400 --> 01:08:24,120
Speaker 13: to be able to adjust to whatever you bring on

1472
01:08:24,160 --> 01:08:26,400
Speaker 13: the field, and so you have to be able to

1473
01:08:26,400 --> 01:08:28,400
Speaker 13: counter that. You have to think too to free sets ahead.

1474
01:08:28,680 --> 01:08:31,719
Speaker 13: And I think that that's really the only way to

1475
01:08:31,760 --> 01:08:34,760
Speaker 13: slow this Ravens offense down that is now going to

1476
01:08:34,800 --> 01:08:37,639
Speaker 13: have Mark Andrews though, And that's kind of an easy

1477
01:08:37,640 --> 01:08:40,920
Speaker 13: completion for Lamar Jackson or for anybody because they have

1478
01:08:41,120 --> 01:08:43,240
Speaker 13: such a good rapport and you have to think that

1479
01:08:43,320 --> 01:08:44,960
Speaker 13: he is going to be juice up and ready to

1480
01:08:45,000 --> 01:08:49,280
Speaker 13: go for an AFC championship game that could get this

1481
01:08:49,320 --> 01:08:50,320
Speaker 13: team to the super Bowl.

1482
01:08:50,439 --> 01:08:51,400
Speaker 3: Karman, you could be a coach.

1483
01:08:52,080 --> 01:08:58,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, so Karma, who wins this AFC game the Ravens.

1484
01:09:00,000 --> 01:09:00,920
Speaker 5: I don't know.

1485
01:09:01,000 --> 01:09:03,960
Speaker 13: I really really like the part of parts. Yeah, my

1486
01:09:04,000 --> 01:09:06,600
Speaker 13: heart of hearts wants to see like a Lions Ravens

1487
01:09:07,000 --> 01:09:09,120
Speaker 13: super Bowl because we have to do mean that and

1488
01:09:09,120 --> 01:09:12,479
Speaker 13: that's the only like anything that involves the Lions is

1489
01:09:12,479 --> 01:09:15,120
Speaker 13: the only thing that won't be a rematch right in

1490
01:09:15,200 --> 01:09:17,760
Speaker 13: this in this scenario, so I want that to But like,

1491
01:09:18,200 --> 01:09:20,320
Speaker 13: it doesn't matter if forty nine Ers win because they've

1492
01:09:20,320 --> 01:09:22,680
Speaker 13: played the Ravens, they've played the chief in the Super Bowl.

1493
01:09:22,760 --> 01:09:23,920
Speaker 19: That's all happened before.

1494
01:09:24,600 --> 01:09:27,320
Speaker 13: I just when it comes to the Ravens and the Chief,

1495
01:09:27,439 --> 01:09:29,599
Speaker 13: I just can't bet against the Chiefs. So they've been

1496
01:09:29,640 --> 01:09:33,240
Speaker 13: here too many times. Andy Reid goes into a different

1497
01:09:33,280 --> 01:09:35,839
Speaker 13: mode in the playoffs and the way that his offense

1498
01:09:36,280 --> 01:09:38,559
Speaker 13: is able to just stay two to three steps ahead.

1499
01:09:38,560 --> 01:09:41,160
Speaker 19: Again, I can't bet against them.

1500
01:09:41,439 --> 01:09:43,560
Speaker 13: But I think I'm hoping the Ravens win because I

1501
01:09:43,560 --> 01:09:44,439
Speaker 13: would love that for Lamar.

1502
01:09:44,600 --> 01:09:46,320
Speaker 5: I know, I think we all would, and his legacy

1503
01:09:46,320 --> 01:09:46,840
Speaker 5: would as well.

1504
01:09:46,840 --> 01:09:49,559
Speaker 2: But now let's get to the NFC, because, as you

1505
01:09:49,680 --> 01:09:51,960
Speaker 2: just mentioned, the Lions have never been to a Super Bowl,

1506
01:09:51,960 --> 01:09:54,519
Speaker 2: but have a chance to make it their first appearance

1507
01:09:54,520 --> 01:09:55,360
Speaker 2: with a win tomorrow.

1508
01:09:55,400 --> 01:09:58,080
Speaker 5: What's it going to take for the Lions to get there?

1509
01:09:58,960 --> 01:10:01,920
Speaker 13: I weirdly think these two teams matchups really well. If

1510
01:10:01,920 --> 01:10:06,000
Speaker 13: there's a critique or a concern about San Francisco's defense,

1511
01:10:06,040 --> 01:10:07,519
Speaker 13: which is one of the best in the league, don't

1512
01:10:07,520 --> 01:10:10,519
Speaker 13: get me wrong. It's their run defense, and that something

1513
01:10:10,520 --> 01:10:13,000
Speaker 13: that the Lions can do really really well. Todd Bowles

1514
01:10:13,040 --> 01:10:15,360
Speaker 13: was able to shut it down last week when I.

1515
01:10:15,360 --> 01:10:19,280
Speaker 19: Was there in Detroit. But now you have.

1516
01:10:19,320 --> 01:10:21,840
Speaker 13: A guy like David Montgomery and a guy like Jamiir Gibbs,

1517
01:10:21,840 --> 01:10:24,040
Speaker 13: where between the two of them, they can beat you

1518
01:10:24,080 --> 01:10:26,560
Speaker 13: in so many ways on the ground. David Montgomery is

1519
01:10:26,600 --> 01:10:28,639
Speaker 13: like that bowling ball that's just going to run straight

1520
01:10:28,680 --> 01:10:32,920
Speaker 13: through the tackles, whereas Jamiir kids outside. You can get

1521
01:10:33,000 --> 01:10:36,080
Speaker 13: to him, in space, you can, he can catch passes

1522
01:10:36,080 --> 01:10:38,439
Speaker 13: out of the backfield. Both of them can and it

1523
01:10:38,520 --> 01:10:41,760
Speaker 13: makes it a really formidable, really well rounded run game

1524
01:10:41,880 --> 01:10:44,680
Speaker 13: for the Detroit Lions, and that is something that San

1525
01:10:44,680 --> 01:10:46,040
Speaker 13: Francisco has struggled with.

1526
01:10:46,880 --> 01:10:47,800
Speaker 19: I really think that.

1527
01:10:47,880 --> 01:10:50,280
Speaker 13: If they can get through, they're going to have to

1528
01:10:50,320 --> 01:10:53,960
Speaker 13: get through that Lions defensive or offensive line rather excuse me,

1529
01:10:54,760 --> 01:10:57,519
Speaker 13: and in some way, but even if they do that,

1530
01:10:57,680 --> 01:10:59,720
Speaker 13: Jared Goff has the benefit of the run game. So

1531
01:11:00,120 --> 01:11:01,920
Speaker 13: I really think the Lions. Not a lot of people

1532
01:11:01,920 --> 01:11:04,000
Speaker 13: aren't given the Lions enough of a chance here. I

1533
01:11:04,040 --> 01:11:05,960
Speaker 13: know San Francisco was one of the best teams in

1534
01:11:06,000 --> 01:11:09,200
Speaker 13: the league, but when I tell you the emotion and

1535
01:11:09,439 --> 01:11:13,960
Speaker 13: just the motivation and the story behind this Lions team,

1536
01:11:14,000 --> 01:11:16,439
Speaker 13: I mean they will put themselves up against anyone.

1537
01:11:16,439 --> 01:11:19,000
Speaker 19: They've been enjoyed to cover for the last couple of seasons.

1538
01:11:19,080 --> 01:11:22,200
Speaker 13: Dan Campbell culture there is second to none and won

1539
01:11:22,280 --> 01:11:22,639
Speaker 13: the world.

1540
01:11:22,920 --> 01:11:25,960
Speaker 5: He literally won the hearts of He won everyone over.

1541
01:11:26,160 --> 01:11:29,080
Speaker 13: Yeah, he won everyone over. The Lions are America's team

1542
01:11:29,160 --> 01:11:31,519
Speaker 13: right now, Cowboys the damn Yeah.

1543
01:11:31,640 --> 01:11:33,840
Speaker 2: And Charles Barkley said he would run like he's in love.

1544
01:11:33,880 --> 01:11:35,760
Speaker 2: He's got a man crush on Dan Campbell. I think

1545
01:11:35,800 --> 01:11:37,840
Speaker 2: anyone would run through a brick wall for him right now.

1546
01:11:37,960 --> 01:11:38,880
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1547
01:11:38,680 --> 01:11:41,280
Speaker 4: Uh So we were Alex and I were wondering, why

1548
01:11:41,320 --> 01:11:44,800
Speaker 4: would the Lions sign zach Ertz and he's not going

1549
01:11:44,840 --> 01:11:47,640
Speaker 4: to be active, Like we just found that weird.

1550
01:11:48,800 --> 01:11:51,080
Speaker 19: Yeah, it was. I think it was more along the

1551
01:11:51,120 --> 01:11:54,000
Speaker 19: lines of depth. You saw Brock write their.

1552
01:11:53,920 --> 01:11:57,080
Speaker 13: Second Yes, tight end go down, and so this is

1553
01:11:57,080 --> 01:11:58,840
Speaker 13: a point. This is a guy that can help you

1554
01:11:58,880 --> 01:12:01,760
Speaker 13: in the in practice, and that's what you bring in

1555
01:12:01,880 --> 01:12:04,320
Speaker 13: depth guys for even if they're not gonna be active

1556
01:12:04,320 --> 01:12:08,080
Speaker 13: on game day. It's I think it's also insurance for

1557
01:12:08,200 --> 01:12:10,280
Speaker 13: if they do make the Super Bowl. That's another guy

1558
01:12:10,320 --> 01:12:13,080
Speaker 13: that you can turn to. Ben Jonathan doesn't do a

1559
01:12:13,240 --> 01:12:16,160
Speaker 13: ton of multiple tight end sets, but you really don't

1560
01:12:16,160 --> 01:12:17,960
Speaker 13: have to when you've got a guy like Sam Laporta

1561
01:12:18,000 --> 01:12:20,240
Speaker 13: who is a rookie and breaking pretty much every rookie

1562
01:12:20,280 --> 01:12:23,400
Speaker 13: tight end record that exists. I think there's a couple

1563
01:12:23,400 --> 01:12:27,240
Speaker 13: that Mike Diska still has, but very few, and that's

1564
01:12:27,280 --> 01:12:30,360
Speaker 13: not an integral part of this offense necessarily, but it

1565
01:12:30,439 --> 01:12:32,479
Speaker 13: is so well rounded with a guy like Sam Laporta,

1566
01:12:32,600 --> 01:12:34,800
Speaker 13: with a wide receiver like I'm and Ross Saint Brown

1567
01:12:34,800 --> 01:12:37,240
Speaker 13: and like I said, that run game. So when it

1568
01:12:37,280 --> 01:12:39,800
Speaker 13: comes to adding players at this stage of the game,

1569
01:12:39,960 --> 01:12:42,280
Speaker 13: it's to help your guys practice. It's to help kind

1570
01:12:42,320 --> 01:12:45,800
Speaker 13: of feel things out. Because you think about it too.

1571
01:12:45,880 --> 01:12:48,000
Speaker 13: For the forty nine ers, as far as personnel goes,

1572
01:12:48,200 --> 01:12:50,800
Speaker 13: they do run a lot of twelve they want, they'll

1573
01:12:50,880 --> 01:12:54,280
Speaker 13: run twenty two. They run multiple tight ends sets, So

1574
01:12:54,320 --> 01:12:55,760
Speaker 13: you need to be able to practice against that.

1575
01:12:56,080 --> 01:13:00,160
Speaker 2: Okay, carm And you've spent the whole season cover during

1576
01:13:00,240 --> 01:13:02,639
Speaker 2: this Lions team up close and personal.

1577
01:13:02,800 --> 01:13:03,879
Speaker 5: What would it mean.

1578
01:13:04,000 --> 01:13:06,160
Speaker 2: Not only for the franchise but for the city of

1579
01:13:06,200 --> 01:13:08,920
Speaker 2: Detroit to see them play in a Super Bowl.

1580
01:13:09,000 --> 01:13:10,800
Speaker 5: If they can pull off this win tomorrow.

1581
01:13:10,960 --> 01:13:14,640
Speaker 13: It's absolutely everything. It would be vindication, it would be

1582
01:13:14,680 --> 01:13:17,439
Speaker 13: the ultimate reward because, let me tell you, I've also

1583
01:13:17,479 --> 01:13:19,800
Speaker 13: been to a bunch of Lions road games this year,

1584
01:13:19,920 --> 01:13:25,200
Speaker 13: and the way that Lions fans paint every stadium Honolulu blue,

1585
01:13:25,439 --> 01:13:28,320
Speaker 13: it's incredible. And to be able to go to a

1586
01:13:28,360 --> 01:13:31,160
Speaker 13: Super Bowl and see that, I mean you're talking about

1587
01:13:31,320 --> 01:13:34,559
Speaker 13: people that obviously have been fans for decades and decades

1588
01:13:34,600 --> 01:13:36,680
Speaker 13: and decades that have never been able to see the

1589
01:13:36,720 --> 01:13:40,479
Speaker 13: Lions in this light. Yeah, and it's incredible to think

1590
01:13:40,520 --> 01:13:43,840
Speaker 13: about the Lions team. It sell the players, the coaches,

1591
01:13:43,840 --> 01:13:45,960
Speaker 13: they don't shy away from that. They don't want to

1592
01:13:46,000 --> 01:13:48,120
Speaker 13: carry the weight of it, but they know what they

1593
01:13:48,200 --> 01:13:50,160
Speaker 13: mean the city of Detroit, because the city of Detroit

1594
01:13:50,160 --> 01:13:54,000
Speaker 13: means all of that and more to them right back. Honestly,

1595
01:13:54,040 --> 01:13:56,120
Speaker 13: it makes me cheer up every single time I see

1596
01:13:56,200 --> 01:13:59,559
Speaker 13: Dan Campbell. He is like postgame press conferences or his

1597
01:13:59,600 --> 01:14:02,960
Speaker 13: post game locker room pieces. How I was at in

1598
01:14:03,080 --> 01:14:06,639
Speaker 13: Detroit last weekend and I was crying at the national anthem.

1599
01:14:07,160 --> 01:14:09,120
Speaker 5: I'm like, well, you're also from Cynthia.

1600
01:14:09,200 --> 01:14:10,960
Speaker 2: You were sitting there to Cynthia who was like a

1601
01:14:11,000 --> 01:14:14,320
Speaker 2: lifegole Lions van and she has been sobbing, Like the

1602
01:14:14,320 --> 01:14:18,120
Speaker 2: moment she touched down in Detroit, I was sobbing for her.

1603
01:14:18,200 --> 01:14:19,479
Speaker 5: I was like every I think.

1604
01:14:19,280 --> 01:14:21,360
Speaker 2: Everyone was when you feel and you're connected to a

1605
01:14:21,400 --> 01:14:25,320
Speaker 2: Detroit fan who like has like just experienced all of

1606
01:14:25,360 --> 01:14:29,360
Speaker 2: that failure and agony for three decades, thirty plus years.

1607
01:14:29,920 --> 01:14:32,840
Speaker 13: There was a moment during the national anthem when they

1608
01:14:32,920 --> 01:14:36,000
Speaker 13: showed Jared Goff on the jumbo trone and the way

1609
01:14:36,600 --> 01:14:39,720
Speaker 13: that the entire stadium erupted in the middle of the

1610
01:14:39,800 --> 01:14:42,719
Speaker 13: national anthem just to show their sport. There were Jared

1611
01:14:42,720 --> 01:14:46,439
Speaker 13: goth Chance going all throughout the game, Dan Campbell every

1612
01:14:46,439 --> 01:14:48,920
Speaker 13: time he was on the jumbo tron. I mean, this

1613
01:14:49,000 --> 01:14:52,040
Speaker 13: city is so ready for it, and I feel like

1614
01:14:52,600 --> 01:14:54,240
Speaker 13: they've earned this.

1615
01:14:54,320 --> 01:14:55,880
Speaker 19: They deserve it. They put the work in.

1616
01:14:56,880 --> 01:14:59,840
Speaker 13: They it's time for their reward and this is absolutely

1617
01:14:59,840 --> 01:15:00,800
Speaker 13: the team that could do it.

1618
01:15:00,920 --> 01:15:01,120
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1619
01:15:01,280 --> 01:15:01,880
Speaker 3: I got chills.

1620
01:15:01,920 --> 01:15:02,559
Speaker 5: I'm so jealous.

Speaker 5: So producer Bo lead us through.

1663
01:16:43,640 --> 01:16:47,000
Speaker 17: So last week we have a clean sweep. Alex went

1664
01:16:47,000 --> 01:16:49,120
Speaker 17: four and oh yeah, and her picks Monsey went three

1665
01:16:49,120 --> 01:16:51,320
Speaker 17: and one. That's what you get for believing in the

1666
01:16:51,360 --> 01:16:57,680
Speaker 17: Buffalo Bills. Hey, yeah, that's unfortunate. So season totals run

1667
01:16:57,720 --> 01:17:00,439
Speaker 17: to Alex at forty four and thirty three, Moncy comfortably

1668
01:17:00,439 --> 01:17:01,800
Speaker 17: ahead at fifty three and twenty four.

1669
01:17:02,600 --> 01:17:04,400
Speaker 5: Okay, so all of these prop bets get me in

1670
01:17:04,560 --> 01:17:05,280
Speaker 5: to start these picks.

1671
01:17:05,320 --> 01:17:08,320
Speaker 17: We've got the the Lions taking on the forty nine

1672
01:17:08,400 --> 01:17:11,559
Speaker 17: Ers into a tomorrow afternoons game. The forty nine Ers

1673
01:17:11,600 --> 01:17:13,559
Speaker 17: currently a seven and a half point favorite at home.

1674
01:17:13,880 --> 01:17:16,280
Speaker 5: Big favorite, Yeah, big favorites.

1675
01:17:16,400 --> 01:17:19,080
Speaker 2: I it's tough because I'm gonna go with my og

1676
01:17:19,360 --> 01:17:22,559
Speaker 2: super Bowl pick once we filled out our playoff bracket

1677
01:17:23,320 --> 01:17:24,760
Speaker 2: and I took the forty nine ers to make it

1678
01:17:24,800 --> 01:17:28,200
Speaker 2: to the super Bowl. They've got some unfinished business from

1679
01:17:28,479 --> 01:17:32,200
Speaker 2: last season losing in the championship game. They have all

1680
01:17:32,200 --> 01:17:35,000
Speaker 2: the pieces, they have the talent, but I also can

1681
01:17:35,040 --> 01:17:38,920
Speaker 2: really see the Lions grit and heart being making this

1682
01:17:39,040 --> 01:17:40,439
Speaker 2: like a tough, close game.

1683
01:17:40,680 --> 01:17:42,480
Speaker 5: Like it's I'm taking.

1684
01:17:42,200 --> 01:17:44,479
Speaker 2: Forty nine ers, but like I would also be like

1685
01:17:44,560 --> 01:17:47,080
Speaker 2: happy if the Lions like get to their first super Bowl.

1686
01:17:47,200 --> 01:17:49,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, I before the season started, I picked forty nine

1687
01:17:49,840 --> 01:17:50,880
Speaker 4: ers Bengal super Bowl.

1688
01:17:51,000 --> 01:17:53,439
Speaker 3: So I'm gonna stick with forty nine ers.

1689
01:17:53,880 --> 01:17:56,040
Speaker 4: But I don't think it's gonna be that big of

1690
01:17:56,120 --> 01:17:58,759
Speaker 4: a difference. I think it's gonna be a lot closer.

1691
01:17:59,200 --> 01:18:01,760
Speaker 4: And again, if the Swayne, I would be like, yeah, yeah,

1692
01:18:01,800 --> 01:18:02,160
Speaker 4: they did.

1693
01:18:03,040 --> 01:18:03,280
Speaker 13: I know.

1694
01:18:03,439 --> 01:18:06,200
Speaker 2: I asked Cynthia because obviously she's the numbers girl. I

1695
01:18:06,240 --> 01:18:09,000
Speaker 2: was like, so, what are your numbers telling you? MI

1696
01:18:09,000 --> 01:18:10,760
Speaker 2: like with I a said face, She's like forty nine

1697
01:18:10,800 --> 01:18:13,120
Speaker 2: ers by five. But I was like, okay, all right,

1698
01:18:13,240 --> 01:18:15,479
Speaker 2: yeah no, but but like that's the perfect time to

1699
01:18:15,560 --> 01:18:16,120
Speaker 2: prove it wrong.

1700
01:18:16,200 --> 01:18:16,400
Speaker 3: Yep.

1701
01:18:16,800 --> 01:18:18,000
Speaker 5: You'd be happy to be wrong.

1702
01:18:17,920 --> 01:18:20,559
Speaker 17: All right. Earlier in the day, the Chiefs are gonna

1703
01:18:20,560 --> 01:18:22,160
Speaker 17: head to Baltimore and take on the Ravens, who are

1704
01:18:22,200 --> 01:18:25,080
Speaker 17: a three and a half point favorite at home.

1705
01:18:26,439 --> 01:18:30,440
Speaker 4: I don't I don't know how you pick against Patrick Mahomes,

1706
01:18:30,640 --> 01:18:32,840
Speaker 4: but I'm picking against Patrick Mahomes.

1707
01:18:33,280 --> 01:18:35,320
Speaker 3: I'm taking Baltimore in this one.

1708
01:18:35,560 --> 01:18:37,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, this is the battle of the MVPs

1709
01:18:37,680 --> 01:18:41,759
Speaker 2: and this is Lamar's year. He hasn't had the playoff

1710
01:18:41,880 --> 01:18:46,400
Speaker 2: success in the past, but I'm picking. I'm picking. I'm

1711
01:18:46,400 --> 01:18:48,519
Speaker 2: picking the Ravens. I'm picking Lamar to make it to

1712
01:18:48,560 --> 01:18:49,439
Speaker 2: his first Super Bowl.

1713
01:18:49,439 --> 01:18:51,720
Speaker 5: But if Mahomes wins this, you kill it.

1714
01:18:51,760 --> 01:18:54,280
Speaker 2: I am never picking against getting the playoffs again because

1715
01:18:54,280 --> 01:18:54,920
Speaker 2: I always.

1716
01:18:54,640 --> 01:18:59,120
Speaker 5: Get slapped in the face. Always always.

1717
01:18:59,160 --> 01:19:00,519
Speaker 3: I feel like that's every everyone.

1718
01:19:00,840 --> 01:19:03,120
Speaker 17: This is the last time you can pick against Mahomes

1719
01:19:03,160 --> 01:19:04,720
Speaker 17: in the playoffs if he does it. If he does it,

1720
01:19:04,760 --> 01:19:05,479
Speaker 17: be on never again.

1721
01:19:05,479 --> 01:19:07,360
Speaker 3: I never, never, never again, ever get nobody.
