Speaker 1: Hiking to trigger. He adds, what is that a job?

4
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:26,280

00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:30,560

00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:37,919

00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:41,159
Speaker 1: hours of you completely off the rails seven to ten

10
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:44,920
Speaker 1: Eastern every morning on NFL Network. So this is our podcast.

11
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 1: We just walked off set. We have some coffee and

12
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 1: we're going to do some talk before we do that. Nate, Yeah,

13
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 1: you went to Seattle, so proud of you getting to

14
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:56,639
Speaker 1: raise the flags. I'm not from Seattle. I don't really

15
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 1: understand the scope of what a big deal it was,

16
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 1: So why don't you take me through that? All right?

17
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 1: So I got an email a couple of months ago,

18
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 1: uh reading that they wanted me to do the raising

19
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:11,479
Speaker 1: of the twelfth Man flag. And my initial thoughts was

20
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 1: they sent the email to the wrong person because when

21
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 1: I was on the sideline right before the game, it's

22
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 1: after the coin toss. You would look up and none

23
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 1: of the players knew, so you would have legends. I

24
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 1: mean like Steve Large and Mac Strong, guys that meant

25
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 1: a lot to organization, or Jim Zorn right, and you

26
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: know you also have like superstars like Mac Lamore or

27
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 1: anybody from the city makes a lot of And when

28
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,039
Speaker 1: do they do it? Pre game, right before the game starts,

29
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 1: the coin toss yeah, and screaming trees and yeah. So

30
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 1: I was like, okay, I'll do it and done it.

31
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 1: Who vetter And I'm pretty sure he was from guys

32
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 1: does the Wrigley stuff? Probably not. So I went out there,

33
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 1: flew out there with the family, and did you pick

34
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 1: Christmas weekend? Because you knew you can? They picked it.

35
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 1: And originally I didn't want to do it because it's

36
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 1: such a long flat and I have to be back

37
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 1: for work. But I couldn't pass up the opportunity. So

38
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 1: I went there and I went to the stadgu you

39
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 1: can put it down, Peter, and I went to the stadium,

40
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 1: and uh. I went to the stadium, and just walking

41
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 1: around inside the stadium, I felt like I never left.

42
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 1: And I identify a lot with the Lions. So I

43
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,639
Speaker 1: didn't know how I was gonna be received, but it

44
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:24,799
Speaker 1: was almost as if I had just recently stepped off

45
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:28,079
Speaker 1: the field. I mean all the security guards, every person

46
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 1: and personnel that I would talk to pregame, they all

47
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 1: embraced me like I was just there. So that was amazing.

48
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 1: And then you get up to the top of the

49
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 1: stadium where the flag is, and they said, we're gonna

50
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,919
Speaker 1: play a small video and then we'll raise the flag.

51
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:47,799
Speaker 1: So I had my Lions, I mean my Seahawks blazer on,

52
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 1: so I took it off and had a line and that,

53
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,919
Speaker 1: and so I saw the video and had like Nate

54
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 1: with Afro from high school and a high school clip

55
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 1: and me scorning touchdown. And then they showed us, they said,

56
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 1: the analysts with the NFL network, and they showed GMFB

57
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 1: and the crowd went crazy and everything from Nate, we

58
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 1: love you, come back home to we wish you were

59
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: still playing, to we watch a show every morning. And

60
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 1: it was like a mixed bag of just fans of myself,

61
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 1: my brand, and also now being an analyst. So I

62
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: don't know if it was a very exhilarating experience, very humble,

63
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,639
Speaker 1: though very humble me ask you, because to me, this

64
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 1: is larger than life. You had your three kids with you, right, yeah,

65
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,399
Speaker 1: my dad, my mom or wife. Man to have your

66
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:31,920
Speaker 1: kids see you celebrated that way. Was that a first

67
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 1: for you? Yeah, because when I played, they were always

68
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 1: so far removed from the field. They didn't really have

69
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 1: They were so young, they didn't get on the sideline.

70
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 1: They knew Dad played, but I don't think they really

71
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 1: knew like what my role was on these teams. So

72
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 1: for them to be twelve, ten and six and walk

73
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 1: on the field with me and fans stopping and going crazy,

74
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 1: They're kind of like, Damn, I haven't seen that in

75
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 1: a while, you know, because three years ago they saw

76
00:03:55,840 --> 00:04:00,080
Speaker 1: the Detroit but you know, you forget and that My

77
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 1: my daughter was just sitting there like, I can't believe.

78
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 1: Why do all these people like once your autograph. These

79
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 1: guys are big fans, big fans of Daddy and what

80
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 1: I was able to do here, So I don't know,

81
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 1: it was one of the best experiences I've ever had.

82
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 1: I enjoyed it. You know, I don't cry a lot,

83
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 1: I don't get emotional a lot, and it hit me

84
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 1: a couple of times. I feel like, you know, I

85
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 1: know your deal with your teams, Like, you know, Minnesota

86
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 1: was special because they drafted you. Yeah, and then Detroit

87
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 1: was special because you really identified with the city and

88
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,479
Speaker 1: the people. But Seattle in the middle is like you

89
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 1: were from there, and I remember you telling me first

90
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 1: met that. I'm like, oh, that's cool. You got to

91
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 1: go to Seattle. You're like yeah, But I was so nervous,

92
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:33,040
Speaker 1: so all my family was going to be there. They

93
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:36,359
Speaker 1: were really special for you too, very nervous. Playing in Seattle.

94
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 1: I always felt like every person in the stadium like

95
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: knew who I was. Like every person stadium remember this kid, yeah,

96
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 1: up the block, maybe broils in the city kid. And

97
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 1: I tore my thumb up the first year and didn't

98
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 1: tell anybody so I couldn't catch the ball, so I

99
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 1: looked like a bust. They just brought me there for

100
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:54,480
Speaker 1: a four year, fifteen million dollars deal, and I remember

101
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,159
Speaker 1: thinking I got to do something because this city is

102
00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:00,080
Speaker 1: going to turn their back and it's the worst thing. Like, Okay,

103
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:01,919
Speaker 1: if another city, now I'm not from, didn't like me,

104
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,039
Speaker 1: I'm okay with that. But the place that I lived,

105
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:05,720
Speaker 1: like I didn't want to be a bus So that

106
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 1: following year, I busted my ass hard and I ever

107
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:10,480
Speaker 1: worked and I tried to go out there and earn

108
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,480
Speaker 1: a spot. And I remember Coach Honger saying, this open competition.

109
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 1: Who wants to play next to Dion Branch. I felt

110
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 1: like I beat out everybody, even Dion at that time.

111
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 1: And Dan was amazing. He just came from New England

112
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 1: and I walked into Coach Honger's office and he said, look,

113
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 1: you did a great job, but I'm gonna start DJ Hackett.

114
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 1: And I was like, well, you said it was open competition.

115
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:33,480
Speaker 1: I made it very clear that I'm your best receiver.

116
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 1: He said, yeah, but I like my guys, so we'll

117
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,919
Speaker 1: find a way for you getting a rotation. And I

118
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 1: was like, all right, damn, what do I do now?

119
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 1: So then I went on special teams. I made a

120
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,039
Speaker 1: promise myself every time I touched the ball, I'm gonna

121
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 1: make him he's gonna have to answer to me, make

122
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 1: some bullshit from Honger. And if you asked me, you know,

123
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:51,160
Speaker 1: well that's that's the way I kind of felt. But

124
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,160
Speaker 1: Home was very hard on me. Though he was very

125
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 1: hard on me, and I felt like that there was

126
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 1: like a certain stream between me and his relationship. Because

127
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 1: Tim Ruskwood brought me in hon't necessarily want me, so

128
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 1: it kind of made it clear like Nay, you're just here,

129
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:06,719
Speaker 1: but you're not my guy. But I had to earn

130
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 1: it at the fight for his respect, and I remember

131
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 1: one thing happened. It's all these dynamics between me and

132
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:14,840
Speaker 1: Seattle that makes this special. I remember my dad was

133
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:18,040
Speaker 1: coming after a game and he said he I'm gonna

134
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,280
Speaker 1: say how to Home Ground and I was like, cool,

135
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 1: I had had a big game. He walks to hey,

136
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 1: I'm al Burlson. Dad just wanted to introduce myself, and

137
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 1: Homeground said, I'm very hard on your son. I'm very

138
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 1: hard on your son, and that's all he said. And

139
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:34,600
Speaker 1: my dad was like, I wonder why he's so hard

140
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,679
Speaker 1: on you. So I spent four years trying to fight

141
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 1: for love for my city, but really fight for appreciation

142
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:42,920
Speaker 1: from this coach who was a legend of the game.

143
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 1: And so when I left there, I left on terms

144
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 1: that were uneasy because they just signed me back. They

145
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 1: offered a deal, but Detroit came in said, well, famous story,

146
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 1: and I'll tell you this famous story. And I remember

147
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 1: covering it when it happened it was a start of

148
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 1: free agency. The first night. You start at midnight, twelve am.

149
00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 1: And the story goes that Scott Linehan, who was I

150
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:03,480
Speaker 1: guess with you in Minnesota, shows up at Nate Burlison's

151
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 1: driveway at twelve o one and knocks on the door

152
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 1: and says, hey, I want to bring you to Detroit

153
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 1: with me. And Burlison signed right there, the first true

154
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 1: story minute of free agency. And then we went went

155
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:13,239
Speaker 1: and sat in the restaurant and that's when the negotiating started.

156
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 1: Seattle at the time they say we want to sign

157
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 1: you back. Detroit came in and said, listen, we got

158
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 1: we got some some money we're gonna throw your way.

159
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 1: Seattle didn't pick up the phone after that. Detroit was

160
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 1: member windless. I've heard about these midnight stories, you know,

161
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 1: Rex Ryan went and got Bart Scott. That's true. Actually

162
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 1: mccx flew out so and he flew from different time

163
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 1: zone so he could sit down with me and he

164
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 1: could be the first voice that I hear in free agency,

165
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 1: because you know it's gonna be a few other teams involved.

166
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 1: Knocked on your door, you look out the window and

167
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 1: physically yes. And then we sat there and we waited

168
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 1: for We knew he was coming, though we didn't just

169
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 1: show up and knock on your door, texting you or something.

170
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 1: He couldn't really text, couldn't communicate because actually just knocked

171
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 1: on your door. I was still a part of the Seahawks.

172
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 1: I was still part of Tatail March fifteen, so I'm

173
00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 1: still midnight hit. Then the other people say, hey, you

174
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 1: might have visitor out there, but I couldn't, so I

175
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 1: didn't know. It feels true. Wow. So yeah, so you know,

176
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 1: you fast forward years later and me not sure how

177
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 1: I'm going to be received back home, and the people

178
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 1: were loving it, you know. So it was a moment

179
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 1: that I'll share for the rest of my life in

180
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 1: my football career. It's up there. It's really up there.

181
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 1: Did you order a dessert at the restaurant? Yeah? I did,

182
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 1: of course. You know I'm drinking dessert right now. That's

183
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 1: an incredible story. We are very proud of you. I

184
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 1: think you were sharing us, sharing that with us. Thanks

185
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 1: for taking a red eye home. I don't know how

186
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:35,439
Speaker 1: you got back at like an outrageous left the family

187
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 1: in Seattle left family seat be difficult to for my

188
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 1: other family had to come here. You're the best. That's

189
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:43,959
Speaker 1: who I was sleeping in big weekends. Peter Schrager, there's

190
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 1: a whole time. I know you don't you don't like that.

191
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 1: We're going to revisit this. You're very humble, but too

192
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 1: bad because you're out there signing autographs to young kids,

193
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 1: signing footballs. And I'm the only one of us who

194
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 1: gets out football gets on the football field every week. Thankfully,

195
00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 1: the Fox guys have letting me keep my side line

196
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 1: job on the weekends while I do Good Morning Football.

197
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,079
Speaker 1: What I didn't realize was the compound of the two

198
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 1: would would result in interaction with fans. Well not Brad Pitt,

199
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:11,560
Speaker 1: but something close to it, maybe Ray Romano. I like

200
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 1: what you say, the people yell at you, where's Aaron Andrews?

201
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 1: Like we got we got this guy, Peter Stringer, who's

202
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 1: the third year. So I'm on one of the Fox crews,

203
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,319
Speaker 1: and typically you know, they know Aaron Andrews, they know

204
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 1: Pam Oliver, they know Laura Oakman. I'm this guy who's

205
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 1: not your typical sideline report. I'll call like it is

206
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 1: when you've got females in the field, and then I

207
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 1: am I think it's me and Evan Washburn, who does

208
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 1: the CBS games. The fans aren't thrilled when trolling walking

209
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:38,559
Speaker 1: around the sideline, strolling down there, it's me and my

210
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:40,680
Speaker 1: six foot three, two hundred and forty five pound body

211
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:43,560
Speaker 1: walking around. They're saying, where's Eron Andrews, where's Pam Oliver.

212
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:47,320
Speaker 1: We don't. This year, it's totally different. It's Good Morning Football.

213
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 1: We love the show and it's so overwhelming. And at

214
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 1: first I didn't know how to handle it because I'd

215
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 1: get recognized in an airport maybe once every eight trips,

216
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:57,679
Speaker 1: like hey dude, love your work, and that was that,

217
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:00,200
Speaker 1: and it was two guys. Not Now it's like one

218
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:03,200
Speaker 1: of those deals where every time I'm in an airport, someone,

219
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:06,079
Speaker 1: a business traveler, a flight attendant, is like, we love

220
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,320
Speaker 1: the show. We start off the mornings. We love the show.

221
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 1: So let's fast forward to Sunday. I'm walking the sidelines

222
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 1: with Chris Spielman, who's a nine time NFL All Pro.

223
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,679
Speaker 1: What's up your fast forward and pass to flight? Yeah, well,

224
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 1: I didn't want to talk about You're on the flight,

225
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 1: comes up to you. I'm on the flight. Flight attendant

226
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,080
Speaker 1: comes up to me and says, hey, are you Peter Schrager?

227
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 1: And I thought I was getting bumped from first classes

228
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 1: that she got upgraded to first I thought. I thought

229
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 1: they were gonna say, sorry, you're back. You're back at

230
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 1: twenty three C, which is my usual seat. So I

231
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 1: was like, all right, here we go. She's like, the

232
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 1: pilot would like to speak with you, Like the pilot

233
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:43,599
Speaker 1: pilot like, what the hell did I? So I go

234
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 1: up to the cockpit. I mean, I've never since I

235
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:48,079
Speaker 1: was four years old. Maybe get my little wings. You

236
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 1: want to compliment you on your hair? I thought so,

237
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 1: and he goes, he goes, yeah, saw you come on

238
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 1: the flight. Huge Steelers fan. Love the show. You guys

239
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 1: have to stop with your Bengals love. I'm a Steelers fan.

240
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 1: Love the show. Keep it up, Dad, Dada. The pilot pilot.

241
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 1: So this is the kind of stuff that's happening. And

242
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 1: I guess this is like a metamorphosis of going, you know,

243
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:09,080
Speaker 1: having a daily television show and what. I don't know what. Honestly,

244
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 1: I don't know how it is for Chris Burman to

245
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:13,319
Speaker 1: walk into an airport, or for John Gruden to walk

246
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 1: into an airport, for Nate Burlison for that matter, to

247
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 1: walk into an airport. But it's happening. And the fans

248
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 1: on Sundays are the best because k I just can't

249
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 1: wait till you're in public with fans of the show.

250
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 1: Because I'm probably the fourth member of this crew, I

251
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:27,680
Speaker 1: feel like with like the fan connection. And I'm walking

252
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 1: there and everyone say, Hey, So I'm with Chris Spielman,

260
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 1: and I'm almost I'm mortified, mortified. We're on a football

261
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:55,880

268

Speaker 1: gonna remember that you blew them off. In your head,

269
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 1: you're being humble. But those fans will come back and

270
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:16,320
Speaker 1: be like, you know, that guy was a real a hole.

271
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 1: I yelled his name. I'm sitting there like a schmuck

272
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 1: yelling his name, and he blew me off, and he

273
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 1: thought I was big time. So he's like, go over

274
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:23,719
Speaker 1: there and say hello. So I go over there and

275

Speaker 1: and I and I go and I say hi to

277
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 1: the guy, and then it happens. They hand me a

278
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 1: football and a sharpie and I'm like, I can't do this.

279
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:35,719
Speaker 1: I didn't play football. I don't I don't belong on

280
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 1: this story. But it's not registering the dilemma you're having inside.

281
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:42,679
Speaker 1: They You've got a nine time All Pro linebacker, no

282
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:44,839
Speaker 1: one's calling his name, and they're calling my name to

283
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 1: sign a football. So I'm like, okay, what do I do? Man?

284
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:50,440
Speaker 1: What do I do here? And I take the sharpie.

285
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 1: I've never signed anything, you know, I don't know, and

286
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:55,559
Speaker 1: I start signing this football, feeling like I am like

287
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:57,719
Speaker 1: cheating on a girlfriend or something like this. This is

288
00:12:57,720 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 1: not right. It doesn't feel natural. You just signed your name.

289
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 1: You have to write something like thanks for the love,

290
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 1: to sign all the best I wants to watch. Yeah,

291
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 1: there's like trade Wingo signed footballs like oh he might,

292
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 1: he might, he might, but like is that weird for him?

293
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 1: Like I don't know. She actually do think it's weird.

294
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 1: I totally so I did it. I did it because

295
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 1: it's little girls. She was like, and the jokes then,

296
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 1: I mean, then it was an avalanche because Spielman took

297
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:22,079
Speaker 1: a photo and he you know, and and he loves me,

298
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 1: and I think he loves me. But he was like

299
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 1: he tweeted it out and was like, big time guy.

300
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 1: Made my entire day signing of football. I tagged all

304
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 1: you know, what's the word self aware? Like I know

305
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:40,839
Speaker 1: how absurd this is. I'm not signing this, but it's

306
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:44,960
Speaker 1: not absurd. Like we're feeding people great football and information

307
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 1: five days a week it's the first thing they see.

308
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 1: For most people, my mom didn't let me play high

309
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,559
Speaker 1: school freshman football because she was worried I would get hurt.

310
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 1: Its signing a foot I think it's great, and the

311
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 1: photo is because baby babies. But the lesson I'm learning

312
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 1: is that I have to come to grips with the

313
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 1: fact that people might recognize and I forget fate whatever.

314
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 1: I mean, let's not get nobody in the grand scheme

315
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:11,959
Speaker 1: of things. But that's gonna happen at games. And I

316
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 1: cannot wait for super Bowl Week when you guys have

317
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:16,079
Speaker 1: to face it and it's gonna be this weird moment

318
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:18,319
Speaker 1: because forever we've always been on the outside looking in

319
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 1: kinda and that was a really weird moment. Kay, you're

320
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 1: shaking your head. It's gonna happen. It has to happen.

321
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 1: You now, this is where I spent it, because this

322
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 1: is why it's great. Because all along k has said

323
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 1: I wouldn't sign the art and nothing ads being rude

324
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 1: autograph listen, I was with, why would you not? I

325
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 1: would even if it was a nine year old child,

326
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 1: I would say, you need to get a grip with reality.

327
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 1: A ten year old boy says, can you sign my football?

328
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 1: What am I saying? What do you want my autograph for? Ky?

329
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 1: I've seen you with kids. You love kids, love kids.

330
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,840
Speaker 1: Woman in the world about that, it's it's your priorities

331
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 1: in order. You do not need K the word k

332
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 1: atoms falls and the like the well, look we don't

333
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 1: have Diane Sawyer here at the airport, I got K.

334
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 1: Can I have your autograph? Please? I love watching one.

335
00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:58,920
Speaker 1: What if someone recognizes you and says, hey, can I

336
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 1: get a quick photo? I mean, oh yeah, that's normal,

337
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 1: that's okay. Signing something is I've just never seen a

338
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 1: point in autographs. And I was with Loafa to Tupu

339
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 1: Friday night before the Great Utistical Conversation they watch They

340
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 1: watched the show all the time. They love the show.

341
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 1: At the facility front office players all that, he says, Man,

342
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 1: I love you guys. You know you guys are cool.

343
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:29,800

00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 1: get the most, And it's almost like they want to

351
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 1: hear a negative answer. They say, how's Kay in person?

352
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 1: She's awesome? Why is that? I don't know, But it's

353
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 1: like you're like, because, Kay, for three hours a day,

354
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 1: you're hanging with three meatheads. I mean, we are idiots,

355
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 1: we're fools, and you hang with us. Oh zippos isn't

356
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 1: a good signature. That's just cursive writing. You need like

357
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 1: an autograph, you know, you need something cool. I don't

358
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 1: what I see. I cannot believe that you were on

359
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 1: this incredible journey where you get to be in the

360
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 1: sideline and see these fans and they're like a wave

361
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 1: every week. I did, not fans of you, but fans

362
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 1: of football. The show can go away at any second,

363
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 1: and that's fine. The experience I've had this season, being

364
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 1: being able to interact with fans in person has been

365
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 1: the most rewarding part of this entire crazy journey we're

366
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:37,640
Speaker 1: on as a show. Yeah, I love that, and you

367
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 1: feel it on Twitter, right like you get the tweets. Now,

368
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:42,720
Speaker 1: imagine those people as faces and living bodies, being like, hey,

369
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 1: thanks for talking about the falcons today. Wait take it

370
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 1: down to Houston. Yeah, okay, how was your weekend? It

371
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 1: was great your I worked. I had to work on Saturday. Okay,

372
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 1: well it was Christmas weekend. I just very quickly, guys.

373
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 1: One thing I've realized about fatherhood and Kane, I you

374
00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 1: discussed this once before. One of the most satisfying, satisfied

375
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 1: and feelings in the world as a father. I put

376
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 1: together Calvin's electric jeep, like the power wheel jeep. That's

377
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 1: a surprise from Santa. It's not the putting it together,

378
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 1: it's not even giving it to him, it's not even

379
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 1: seeing the joy his face when it comes time to

380
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:13,919
Speaker 1: do the decals on a toy. There is no sweeter

381
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 1: feeling in the world as a father then perfectly sticking

382
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:22,639
Speaker 1: the landing on a decal, smooth it out and perfectly

383
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:26,440
Speaker 1: straight The eagle has landed so much because when you

384
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:28,639
Speaker 1: do it and you can't really redo it. You got

385
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 1: to pull it off and then it's on the skew.

386
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 1: So I stuck the landing like fifty times on this jeep,

387
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:36,359
Speaker 1: and I was so proud. Not a single air bubble

388
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:38,640
Speaker 1: on the whole thing. I was beaming more than him

389
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 1: and it was my Christmas congrats, Thank you so much.

390
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:45,920
Speaker 1: Stick Georgia. Georgia was here. Austin's Aera case was here.

391
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 1: They crashed a set yesterday. They're in from Chicago. And

392
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:51,359
Speaker 1: that's your mom. Yeah, my mom, Georgia. She's a former

393
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 1: beauty queen and an actress. She worked with Chris O'Donnell,

394
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 1: among many others. Beautiful woman. Yeah, thank you. My mom's

395
00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 1: had an incredible life, she said. I came in, she

396
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,880
Speaker 1: get it did to hand for a handshake out. It's

397
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 1: like I do hugs and she's like, thank you, I

398
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:05,199
Speaker 1: do hugs too, and I right there, I knew were

399
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:07,119
Speaker 1: injuries unbelievable. She said, I feel like I know you

400
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 1: guys because Kyle he speaks, you know, highly of you guys,

401
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,360
Speaker 1: and I watch you guys all the time. And I said, yeah,

402
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 1: we're basically your kids. Now. My last day, She's like,

403
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 1: everyone was so good looking. I just couldn't. Everyone was beautiful.

404
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:22,160
Speaker 1: So that's all you guys. All right, let's talk about

405
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:25,119
Speaker 1: the big football story of the week, and it had

406
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 1: to be injuries. That was the same Marcus Mariota, the fibula.

407
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:31,120
Speaker 1: It was death by fibula in weeks. You know, it's

408
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 1: weird about the NFL. I know, we have a ton

409
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 1: of injuries and you can't really pinpoint one injury that

410
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:38,639
Speaker 1: takes down a few guys. But what I've learned when playing,

411
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 1: when one injury happens for some odd reason, a whole

412
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:44,239
Speaker 1: bunch of those injuries happened, like bug, yeah you're here,

413
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:45,879
Speaker 1: you're here in Nichilles. And they'd be like three or

414
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,479
Speaker 1: four guys or a CEO and they're like last year,

415
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 1: it was a string of acos in the preseason. It

416
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:53,120
Speaker 1: was crazy. And then one week and the famous people

417
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:57,680
Speaker 1: started three guys, three guys fibulas, Like hot is that?

418
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 1: And it's a it's the biggest kill. Look, we're already

419
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:02,880
Speaker 1: dealing with the season, guys, where we have no Gronk

420
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:04,639
Speaker 1: for the playoffs, which I just hate. I don't know

421
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:09,480
Speaker 1: if there's no jj Watt all season long. Jamal Charle

422
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 1: and then just like this Derek Carr thing the Raiders

423
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:15,160
Speaker 1: are the best story of the season by far. The Raiders,

424
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:18,680
Speaker 1: okay and now they're best players gets hurt and it's

425
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 1: just like I watched and I'm like, we set this

426
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 1: in the air. This sucks. I hate this. And there's

427
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 1: an interesting thing I think we do is that we're

428
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 1: on the NFL network. We're very pro NFL, We're very

429
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 1: pro football, and we try to keep it positive as

430
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 1: much as we can. I'm probably the worst edit, and

431
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:33,879
Speaker 1: you know, we're trying to say, you know, maybe the

432
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:35,639
Speaker 1: Raiders can rally, maybe it can do this. And then

433
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:37,879
Speaker 1: I found myself being like, I just can't do that.

434
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 1: I can't say maybe they can rally. I can't say

435
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:42,160
Speaker 1: maybe they'll have their running game. The defense, I think

436
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 1: that they're screwed and I hate it. I wish that

437
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:46,479
Speaker 1: they weren't. But I can't spend in any other way

438
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:48,920
Speaker 1: or I'd be disingenuous. The other big story though, of

439
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:51,359
Speaker 1: this season has been the backups and the knock up

440
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 1: tray in. If you're the you know injuries are a theme.

441
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 1: But so we're backups coming to play immediately and making

442
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:58,920
Speaker 1: an impact and keeping it going. It's a Kaby's point.

443
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:01,680
Speaker 1: How often has a backup I don't know. I rolled away.

444
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:04,280
Speaker 1: They got to the super Bowl. Look at Matt Moore,

445
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:08,480
Speaker 1: what he's doing with fewer weapons. No, I get it,

446
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:10,359
Speaker 1: and I hope. Well, I think we all hope for

447
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 1: that Cinderella story. But what has history told us that

448
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 1: the Superstars, they prevail in the postseason and they they're

449
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:19,879
Speaker 1: the ones that make it to the super Bowl. I

450
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 1: was texting with a friend who works for the Raiders

451
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:23,119
Speaker 1: yesterday because we had our show, and I kind of

452
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:25,239
Speaker 1: did like a one on one on who Matt mcgloyd is. Right,

453
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:28,959
Speaker 1: he's he's been there three years, he was an undrafted guy,

454
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 1: he was a walk on at Penn State. And I said,

455
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:32,680
Speaker 1: how are you feeling? Is it doom and gloom? Because

456
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 1: I talked to people in other and other buildings who

457
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 1: are eliminated for the playoffs in weeks sixteen, and they

458
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:37,640
Speaker 1: were like, it's a work. I mean, it is literally

459
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 1: a moracure. You might hear that there's no chance we're

460
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:42,199
Speaker 1: gonna win on seven on Sunday. We're out of it now.

461
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 1: I asked about the Raiders and they were like, no, no,

462
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:45,960
Speaker 1: we got it. Like Matt's cool, Like Matt's been here.

463
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,680
Speaker 1: It's not like this is some untested And also for

464
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 1: paying what two point five million put the restrictive fee,

465
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 1: he's got, he's a backup. They put a second round

466
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 1: tener on today, so he could have been a free agent.

467
00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:58,119
Speaker 1: They're like, no, no second round tender, meaning if someone

468
00:20:58,160 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 1: else signed them, they would get a second round pick.

469
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:02,719
Speaker 1: He's been there since twenty thirteen. Cook there but they

470
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:08,120
Speaker 1: so they've had, Look, they've had they've had Jack del

471
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:10,880
Speaker 1: Rio hired since then. All right, that was before Crabtree,

472
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:16,159
Speaker 1: before you know, car before Cooper, before Latavius mcclogne's been there.

473
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:18,720
Speaker 1: There's a reason that he's their backup for sure. But

474
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:20,600
Speaker 1: you know it's crazy. It was when we think about

475
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:24,880
Speaker 1: these three backup quarterbacks, they all have to go through Tom,

476
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 1: Like this is not this is ann conversation and Savage

477
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 1: and is that crazy? They're all in AFC, so it's

478
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 1: one thing for it to be spread out and one

479
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 1: of one of those guys are in an NFC. Like,

480
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:38,400
Speaker 1: you know what, maybe I can battle with a hurt

481
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:41,200
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson and depletus Yawks, but once upon a time

482
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 1: Tom had to go through rich Gannon and Cordill. Stupid.

483
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:45,920
Speaker 1: I know, I'm just saying, like, is gonna be Tom Brady?

484
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:47,480
Speaker 1: I mean, I know what you're saying, and I feel

485
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:49,159
Speaker 1: like there's a leaflet that you read from when your

486
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 1: quarterback gots hurt, it's the same stuff. It's like Kurt Warner,

487
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:54,359
Speaker 1: the next man up. We'll rally around the defense, get

488
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 1: running game go. We'll get the running game going. And

489
00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:58,840
Speaker 1: it's just like, come on, you're not gonna win the

490
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:01,360
Speaker 1: Super with Matt like mcglogna. Sorry, we've talked all year.

491
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:03,639
Speaker 1: Can the Raiders beat the Patriots? Winnisup boll Can they

492
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 1: do it? Autom nowhere never been there before. It was

493
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:10,120
Speaker 1: they're just not doing it. It was phrased, can Derek

494
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:13,920
Speaker 1: Carr go in and beat? But come on now, we

495
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 1: can't phrase that question better every season? And yeah, that's

496
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 1: it's just really rough. It's awful. I hate it, all right. So, hypothetically,

497
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:22,479
Speaker 1: say the Raiders win this weekend, they beat the Broncos

498
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 1: in a game that they need to win to get

499
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 1: the number two seed. They've number two seed. They'll most

500
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:29,399
Speaker 1: likely play the winner of the three six game. All right,

501
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:31,639
Speaker 1: So say it's the Steelers, Steelers go into Oakland. You

502
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:34,080
Speaker 1: don't give him any shot to beat the Steelers? Yeah,

503
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:36,159
Speaker 1: sure I do. I mean, look at home, Oakland. The

504
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:38,720
Speaker 1: Steelers have to go to Oakland, Big Ben on the road, No,

505
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:42,480
Speaker 1: we haven't seen Matt mcgloynd. That's why my game spoiler.

506
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to seeing us the Raiders game this

507
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 1: weekend because we don't know. I don't know if you

508
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 1: can play at all. I don't think anybody at this

509
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 1: table knows if you can play at all. So yeah,

510
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:50,440
Speaker 1: of course Pittsburgh could beat him. He has, although I

511
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:53,119
Speaker 1: mean the ingredients are there. The offensive line is a

512
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:56,880
Speaker 1: velveta cheeseb block. Normally you've got Crabtree if he's healthy

513
00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:58,720
Speaker 1: and ready to go. They do have a run game.

514
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:03,680
Speaker 1: They do. They're hop what they're sixth best yea and passing.

515
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:07,920
Speaker 1: There has to be something that goes into the head

516
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:10,239
Speaker 1: of these back of quarterbacks when they're facing future Hall

517
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 1: of famers. They're not going to be get no slouches.

518
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 1: Like if you face Big Ben, that's Big Ben got

519
00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:21,200
Speaker 1: two rings, four rings, Yeah, and he's a Hall of Famer.

520
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 1: So like, okay, yeah, you can Alex Smith do that.

521
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:27,919
Speaker 1: You might give Chief the show. Yeah, you might give

522
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 1: Alex Smith a little bit better chance because at least

523
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 1: he has an experience. So what do we got? We

524
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 1: got Brady, Ben and Alex guys have been there, and

525
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:37,720
Speaker 1: then the other guys like Junior. From the other guys,

526
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:39,560
Speaker 1: you're always saying you don't know what you don't know,

527
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 1: so you know what I'm saying, like, what is it? Yeah?

528
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 1: But I have more faith than Derek Carr leading a

529
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:48,359
Speaker 1: team that was young in experience. Do you have more

530
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:50,879
Speaker 1: faith and Alex Smith than you do in a backup

531
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 1: like Tom Savagery because Smith has been there and Alex Smith,

532
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:57,680
Speaker 1: I think this year more than any other year, he's

533
00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:00,639
Speaker 1: answered those questions about being the micromanager. He's throwing the

534
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 1: ball deep, he has weapons that are unbelievable. Macklin hasn't

535
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:09,679
Speaker 1: been fantastic, but he can go off any game almost

536
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 1: Alex Smith. Look at Kelsey Moore, Yeah, you know, because

537
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 1: he always kind of had eyes just for Macklin. Now

538
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 1: you have to throw and spread the ball around and

539
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:24,159
Speaker 1: we both but no, in Foxborough, when it's like four o'clock,

540
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:27,400
Speaker 1: drizzling playoff game, it's very but let me it's very

541
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:29,080
Speaker 1: difficult to go in there. I'll close it out by

542
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:32,239
Speaker 1: saying this, I know we have to say who who

543
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 1: will these AFC teams go through? And then we mentioned

544
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 1: the Patriots or who's going to go through the Cowboys

545
00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:40,160
Speaker 1: in the NFC. But like I said on the show,

546
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:43,880
Speaker 1: it's not clear cut that the Patriots are the best team.

547
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:48,920
Speaker 1: Their record speaks just without Gronk. Like with Gronk, I

548
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,399
Speaker 1: think they're just unbelievably dominant, and you have to give

549
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 1: them credit, like they're the dominant squad, but they're I'm

550
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:58,160
Speaker 1: not sold that they're just going to run over everybody.

551
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 1: The guy there's one guy in the FC I'm the

552
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 1: Patriots fan, and I'm really scared of is Levion Bell.

553
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:07,080
Speaker 1: It's that guy because look Roethlisberger, great Antonio Brown. Levian

554
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 1: Bell is like the hottest running back on the planet

555
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:11,360
Speaker 1: right now. He's the guy who could go in there

556
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:14,119
Speaker 1: and go off. He's that good, not just go off.

557
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 1: From protection standpoint, if he's running the ball whale, that

558
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:19,440
Speaker 1: means Tom's on a sidline. If Tom's on the sideline,

559
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 1: that is your best chance to beat the Patriots. I

560
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:23,960
Speaker 1: think it does. I think the Patriots are obviously the

561
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,439
Speaker 1: best team, but I'm looking at who they've beat. I mean,

562
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 1: it's the Browns, it's the Bills, it's the Broncos in Denver.

563
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 1: I don't want to discredit they have not had the

564
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:38,399
Speaker 1: toughest guy. Even't had those challenge games where you're like,

565
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 1: here's a test, can they beat Green Bay in Green Bay?

566
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:42,320
Speaker 1: Like even had that? Yeah, maybe they have one this

567
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:45,960
Speaker 1: weekend though, Yeah, all right, I want to shift it

568
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 1: to this, to this crazy doomsday scenario I presented on

569
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:50,200
Speaker 1: the show today. We're doing this on a Tuesday, and

570
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:52,359
Speaker 1: I thought it was fascinating if the viewers did. I

571
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:53,879
Speaker 1: don't know if you guys do, but I love this

572
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:56,680
Speaker 1: kind of talk. All right, So if the Redskins win

573
00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:59,879
Speaker 1: on Sunday, all right and beat the Giants, the Packers

574
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:01,959
Speaker 1: and Lions are in a do or die game, right

575
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:04,800
Speaker 1: The winner wins the NFC North most likely gets the

576
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:07,600
Speaker 1: three seed hosts a playoff game. The Lions haven't won

577
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:10,480
Speaker 1: the NFC North since nineteen ninety three was NFC Central.

578
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:12,680
Speaker 1: Back then. The Packers, of course would host a lambau

579
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:15,840
Speaker 1: where it's nearly impossible now to win. If they tie,

580
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 1: they both make it and the Redskins are on the

581
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:21,119
Speaker 1: outside looking. We've never talked about this kind of scenario

582
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:22,920
Speaker 1: in the history of the sport, were seen anything like this.

583
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:25,160
Speaker 1: I threw it out there because I love this kind

584
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:27,720
Speaker 1: of stuff, and as a writer to me, it's great drama,

585
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:29,719
Speaker 1: Like what would happen if they both made an agreement

586
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:31,639
Speaker 1: and said, hey, let's just lay down our arms. We

587
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:34,359
Speaker 1: both get to walk into the playoffs and we tie,

588
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:37,440
Speaker 1: and the Redskins don't go on. But Nate the true competitor,

589
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 1: and he says, that would never happen. But what are

590
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:43,439
Speaker 1: you doing? I want it to happen so bad now

591
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:46,720
Speaker 1: unless we hear a realistic scenario. Honestly, what if it is,

592
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 1: you know, twenty three to twenty three and there's five

593
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:53,000
Speaker 1: minutes left in the fourth quarter, and is then maybe

594
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:54,440
Speaker 1: you sit on the ball a little bit and play

595
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:55,920
Speaker 1: for the time and given nod to each other, like

596
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:58,760
Speaker 1: because everyone will say like oh wink across the field.

597
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:02,080
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, because of the Lions tie the Packers, I believe,

598
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:04,960
Speaker 1: because the Packers swept the Lions, the Lions would still

599
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 1: have to go on the road and then play the

600
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 1: Packers the following week points point, But that would have

601
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:12,680
Speaker 1: so many like play the following day about competition and

602
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:14,239
Speaker 1: steading an example, and you play to win the game.

603
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:16,560
Speaker 1: They play the hermonic sound, but get rid of tize, right,

604
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:20,920
Speaker 1: I mean, there's so much I mean this way to talk. Okay,

605
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:23,640
Speaker 1: now I'm on board. Now you've got me talk about

606
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:26,440
Speaker 1: who's gonna win packers versus lions, the typical conversation. We'll

607
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:28,440
Speaker 1: do it the next three days on our show, I promise,

608
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:32,440
Speaker 1: But to talk about the mindset of a prisoner's dilemma,

609
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:34,760
Speaker 1: which you go back to Polyci one on one and

610
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:37,880
Speaker 1: it's a study from the nineteen fifties. Take me away back.

611
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:40,800
Speaker 1: You put two prisoners in separate cells, and you say

612
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:42,840
Speaker 1: to these prisoners, you'll both get out in five years

613
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 1: if you both just give each other in. But then

614
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 1: you also say you'll get out free if you tell

615
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 1: them the other guy, and he'll have to serve ten years,

616
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:52,680
Speaker 1: vice versa and vice versa, and then you have to trust. Okay,

617
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 1: am I gonna take the Am I gonna be the

618
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:57,640
Speaker 1: rat on the other guy in a second and tell

619
00:27:57,680 --> 00:27:59,560
Speaker 1: them the other guy. And then if you're both tell

620
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 1: on each other. That's like every episode of First forty

621
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 1: eight they separate the two duos and I'm just like,

622
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:07,760
Speaker 1: be quiet, don't say anything, brom staring a tie. It's

623
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:11,159
Speaker 1: both till each other. Then you get like the maximum. Yes,

624
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:12,960
Speaker 1: you gotta tell quick. Then yeah, get him before the

625
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:15,639
Speaker 1: other guy. So more or less, it's this has nothing

626
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:19,359
Speaker 1: to do with this. It's the prisoner's dilemma because if

627
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:20,359
Speaker 1: they look at each other and say, if we tie,

628
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 1: we're both in. We're good. But then you have to

629
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 1: trust it the other guy is gonna tie and not

630
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:24,879
Speaker 1: come out and beat your fourteen nothing out of the

631
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:28,440
Speaker 1: gates actually, or in that fourth quarter and the game's

632
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:30,159
Speaker 1: tied and you're looking like, do you want to do

633
00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:31,959
Speaker 1: this now? Do you want to go in the overtime

634
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:34,240
Speaker 1: and possibly hurt one of our players? Right, it's a rap,

635
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:36,200
Speaker 1: let's get wrap it up. But then you're looking across like,

636
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:42,280
Speaker 1: I don't trust I don't trust McCarthy, okay talking, I

637
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:45,120
Speaker 1: don't know. Listen, the game is interesting, But for me,

638
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:48,880
Speaker 1: it's it's the dynamic of big brother little brother. Yes,

639
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 1: three recks. They've been the big brothers in this division

640
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:56,080
Speaker 1: for so long. Tell Viking Line. I always looked up

641
00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:58,640
Speaker 1: to him, and it was a certain level of hate,

642
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 1: but it was also more level of respect. And what

643
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:05,800
Speaker 1: makes this game even more interesting because the even though

644
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:09,160
Speaker 1: the Lions are leading the division like they're one game

645
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 1: away from losing the division, they had everything the world

646
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:14,959
Speaker 1: in their hands. And now you have the Green Bay

647
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:18,480
Speaker 1: Packers just coming in. They have to win. But here's

648
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:21,160
Speaker 1: the thing. Greenbay Packers have been in a situation before,

649
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:23,200
Speaker 1: so they're used to I feel like they're used to

650
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:26,360
Speaker 1: the pressure of having this moment a part of them

651
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 1: what they do every year, They're used to winners. They

652
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 1: are postseason, you know, perennial contenders. You look at the Lions.

653
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:36,440
Speaker 1: Now they're in the AKWA position where lost two straights. Yeah,

654
00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:39,520
Speaker 1: no one has No one has book flights, um, no

655
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 1: one's thinking about vacations. So now you're walking this game

656
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:44,920
Speaker 1: saying I need this morning anything. And I've been there

657
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 1: before where you lose the game. I think it was

658
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 1: OZ three. We played the Cardinals. They knocked us out.

659
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:53,240
Speaker 1: Nathan Pool catches the Josh mccount to Nathan Pool. The

660
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 1: two and two and thirteen Cardinals eliminated a team that

661
00:29:55,960 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 1: start and I remember I remember thinking to myself, damn,

662
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:04,280
Speaker 1: like I didn't. I'm not prepared for this. I'm not ready.

663
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:06,840
Speaker 1: Then being on the listening at home google Nathan Pool

664
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:08,520
Speaker 1: and watching that clip. It's one of the craziest ever.

665
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:10,240
Speaker 1: I remember being on the bus and on the plane

666
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:13,360
Speaker 1: and thinking like, damn, okay, let me figure out this offseason.

667
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:15,360
Speaker 1: But more importantly, I guess at some point in my

668
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 1: career I'll get back to the playoffs. I was looking

669
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 1: at these veterans tears. It's just like some of them

670
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 1: are crying because the shock of now their season ending.

671
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:26,800
Speaker 1: They weren't prepared for them are their families. And then

672
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:29,680
Speaker 1: other guys saying I'll never be back in the playoffs,

673
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:32,000
Speaker 1: and I thought, man, you guys are being dramatic, but

674
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 1: it is that hard. So now will that pressure be

675
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:36,160
Speaker 1: on the shoulders of the Lions more than it is

676
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:37,880
Speaker 1: on Green Bay Packers. So when I'm watching the game,

677
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:39,840
Speaker 1: I'm much just watching X's nose. I want to see

678
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:41,960
Speaker 1: how loose or tight Matt Stafford is. I want to

679
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 1: see if the receivers are ready for the moment. I

680
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:45,000
Speaker 1: want to see wherever their running back is, if they

681
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:47,440
Speaker 1: control the ground, or if the defensive backs are gonna

682
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:49,880
Speaker 1: be shook up because you got Jordi and DeVante run everywhere.

683
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:52,239
Speaker 1: So for me, it's the dramatics of the game I'll

684
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:54,280
Speaker 1: pay attention to. And to be honest, I could tell

685
00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:56,840
Speaker 1: within the first five minutes who's ready to play and

686
00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:58,680
Speaker 1: who's trying to act like the ready to play. So

687
00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 1: all high school, all college, I was a professional procrastinator.

688
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:05,240
Speaker 1: I was awesome at it. I would wait till the

689
00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 1: last day. I wouldn't even go to the class. I'd

690
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:10,120
Speaker 1: cram and study and I'd pass the test or get

691
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:12,320
Speaker 1: the term paper and I'd get an A if I

692
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:14,320
Speaker 1: waited to the last minute. I never I was always

693
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:16,760
Speaker 1: a procrastinator. So you're basically saying, that's the lions are

694
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:19,920
Speaker 1: they wait till I performed very well under pressure. So

695
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:21,880
Speaker 1: I always did that all throughout high school, college and

696
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:24,240
Speaker 1: it worked like a charm every time. Until one day

697
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:28,240
Speaker 1: I was one huge mega term paper with an asshole

698
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:32,720
Speaker 1: professor who I needed to like print something outer cite

699
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 1: something or something had to I remember, like the library

700
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:37,240
Speaker 1: was closed. I ended up not getting the paper in

701
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:39,360
Speaker 1: on time. And you know, I was the person I

702
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:41,360
Speaker 1: would like go to the professor's house and sided under

703
00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:43,160
Speaker 1: their door and game and just in the niked time

704
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:45,600
Speaker 1: to get kid office hours all that. Can I get

705
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:48,719
Speaker 1: extra credit past the class? All of that stuff. I mean,

706
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:51,680
Speaker 1: that's the packers, as professor, that's the packers right this week.

707
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:54,440
Speaker 1: You're right, they have all the authority and it's weird

708
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:57,800
Speaker 1: they were talking about it because the leaders are Lions

709
00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:00,560
Speaker 1: within that division, but we were still giving good Green

710
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:03,200
Speaker 1: Bay Packers credit. There's playing well under pressure, but you

711
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:05,600
Speaker 1: can't content it's not sustainable. It's my whole thing with

712
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:08,960
Speaker 1: which has been the Lions long sustainability. It's it's a

713
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:11,280
Speaker 1: phrase that we've talked about before. It's three words. It's

714
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:14,200
Speaker 1: the Lions, and that comes up all the time. So

715
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:16,719
Speaker 1: one of my my my good friends in La Josh Smisco,

716
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:18,840
Speaker 1: huge Packers fan. This is a month ago. It's his name, Josh,

717
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 1: Josh Smisco, and I'm like, you know, a huge Packers fan.

718
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:24,320
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, you know, but we think about the

719
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:26,240
Speaker 1: Lions there in first place. He just looks at me like, dude,

720
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:28,480
Speaker 1: it's the Lions. There's months ago the Lions is this

721
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:31,120
Speaker 1: is way back on Thanksgiving. It's the Lions. And you

722
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:33,720
Speaker 1: know what, here we are and it's the Lions and

723
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 1: they're one loss away from ending on three straight losses

724
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:40,000
Speaker 1: on their home field. This week. It's the Lions. But

725
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:43,440
Speaker 1: they couldn't do to well, I understand, but performing well

726
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:45,800
Speaker 1: under pressure back against the wall, and that might be

727
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:48,080
Speaker 1: just what their identity is right. Yeah, And that's the thing.

728
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:49,800
Speaker 1: It would be a microcosmo of their season as a whole.

729
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:51,400
Speaker 1: If we go back and watch the NFL films twenty

730
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:54,800
Speaker 1: sixteen Lions Video Yearbook, it's gonna be just the final

731
00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:59,320
Speaker 1: minute of games against the Redskins, the Vikings. That's how

732
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:01,640
Speaker 1: they win. I mean the Colts. They won those games

733
00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:04,320
Speaker 1: in the last second, on the last drive, in the

734
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:06,800
Speaker 1: biggest moments. And guess what We're gonna go to week

735
00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:09,600
Speaker 1: seventeen and everyone's gonna count them out. You know, they

736
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 1: lost these last two games horrendously on the road Giants

737
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 1: and the one in twenty five that is a staggering statistic.

738
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 1: He's gonna be home and everyone in that place making

739
00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:24,560
Speaker 1: me nervous. As as much as they are self loathing

740
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 1: fans those lines, they are proud fans and they want

741
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:31,400
Speaker 1: this so badly that place will be rocking. And if

742
00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:33,560
Speaker 1: you just think, no problem, Aaron Rodgers coming throw another

743
00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:35,040
Speaker 1: hell Mary like they did last year and beat them

744
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:37,640
Speaker 1: in their building, then fine. But I imagine that the

745
00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:39,680
Speaker 1: Lions are gonna give their best effort. They're gonna show

746
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:42,880
Speaker 1: up and if Rogers out duels Stafford and you know,

747
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:45,200
Speaker 1: sixty minutes of football, then God bless them. They deserve it.

748
00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:46,760
Speaker 1: But I don't think we're gonna get an egg like

749
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:48,280
Speaker 1: we got the last two weeks from the count from

750
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:53,160
Speaker 1: the Lions. Rogers is such a killer, dude. Look one thing,

751
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:55,320
Speaker 1: if they had to win and like some team was

752
00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:57,680
Speaker 1: limping in, like the Chargers or something, they had to

753
00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:00,520
Speaker 1: beat San Diego. This is just the worst team to

754
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:03,800
Speaker 1: see in the Wars. Guy. I mean, there's five straight

755
00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:07,080
Speaker 1: joined us. This me talking about the momentum. He was

756
00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:09,960
Speaker 1: there at Lambo over the past six games, fourteen touchdowns

757
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:13,400
Speaker 1: and no interceptions. He's never played better. It's just this

758
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:16,840
Speaker 1: is all just combining to be this nightmare. And I

759
00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:20,560
Speaker 1: actually think that they're gonna lose by a lot this

760
00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:23,480
Speaker 1: as a player, Kyle and I've lived this as Chicago

761
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:26,480
Speaker 1: Bears fans. We're texting, well, who is Chicago playing with

762
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:29,080
Speaker 1: Matt Barkley neplace past weekend? The weekend before, I was like,

763
00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:32,640
Speaker 1: they're gonna win, they're gonna Pay're going to be off

764
00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:35,799
Speaker 1: the Packers. What do you know? Boom Jordy Nelson, Jordi

765
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:40,400
Speaker 1: steps back to Kyle. That's pretty much what we've been

766
00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:43,239
Speaker 1: dealing with their whole lives. It's gonna it's gonna come

767
00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:46,920
Speaker 1: down to ball control and whoever wins the turnover battle,

768
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:49,040
Speaker 1: if they can get Aaron Rodgers to turn the ball

769
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:52,520
Speaker 1: over early, Lions will grab that momentum. And you're shake

770
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:54,880
Speaker 1: your head because it's tough to get Aaron Rodgers turn

771
00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:57,800
Speaker 1: the ball over. Dad didn't do it. But if the

772
00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:00,799
Speaker 1: Lions are the first turn the ball over, it could

773
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:03,440
Speaker 1: be a runaway for the Packers. So they might take

774
00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:09,239
Speaker 1: the Lions. I might take the Lions to be don't

775
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:10,880
Speaker 1: sit back. See there's two trains of thought when going

776
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:13,640
Speaker 1: to be as Aaron Rodgers. It's sit back because he's

777
00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:16,560
Speaker 1: athletic and we don't want to pressure him where he

778
00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:19,480
Speaker 1: makes his beautiful throw under dress and then that guy

779
00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:22,719
Speaker 1: runs because we've sent pressure. But then there's there's a

780
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:25,040
Speaker 1: train of thought where no, no, actually, let's make him

781
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:27,880
Speaker 1: uncomfortable in the pocket, collapse him and keep him contained

782
00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:32,080
Speaker 1: and allow him dbs to make plays. My train of thought,

783
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:35,040
Speaker 1: make him comfortable, but make sure you don't give him

784
00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:36,880
Speaker 1: lanes because he'll run with the best of them. But

785
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:39,200
Speaker 1: you have to make him uncomfortable. But if you make

786
00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:41,839
Speaker 1: him comfortable and you're sending pressure, DBS. It's on, y'all.

787
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:44,319
Speaker 1: I saw Darius Lay on the sideline. Darius, you gotta

788
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:45,719
Speaker 1: get on that field. He's in. You need to be

789
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:47,840
Speaker 1: one on one with Jordy. I know he was doubtful.

790
00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:51,279
Speaker 1: Is You've got Nevin Lawson and Zack Zenter playing in

791
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:53,160
Speaker 1: the biggest game of the scenes. I think Aaron Rodgers

792
00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:56,239
Speaker 1: is very cocky, very happy with himself, and I've never

793
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:58,560
Speaker 1: seen him more confident right now. He's making jokes, he's

794
00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:01,560
Speaker 1: duking guys out. I feel he's back in his own

795
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:04,319
Speaker 1: back and I don't want to talk XS and knows.

796
00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:06,480
Speaker 1: But my last point on this game is that Adam

797
00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:08,560
Speaker 1: Feeling had two hundred yards receiving. It is that vaunted

798
00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:11,919
Speaker 1: Packers defense. They're not. They're not the eighty five Bears

799
00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:14,799
Speaker 1: that Packers defense. Dom Capers has struggled with that unit

800
00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:17,520
Speaker 1: the entire year. The Lions can score some points on

801
00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:19,440
Speaker 1: this team. Yeah, they have a guy as good as

802
00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:21,120
Speaker 1: Adam Feeling on the lines right now. They've got three

803
00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:24,399
Speaker 1: of them. Yeah, They've got They've got Bolden, Marvin Jones

804
00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:29,920
Speaker 1: and Golden Tate and Eric Ebron. Yeah, feelings Goode's getting

805
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:31,680
Speaker 1: a lot of love on her show, Blake. Yes, he's

806
00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:33,719
Speaker 1: been play feeling because at the beginning of the season

807
00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:36,560
Speaker 1: we talked about him as the small school drafted. Now

808
00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:38,399
Speaker 1: he's in told drag swag and he's in the top

809
00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:41,919
Speaker 1: laden receiver of the celebrity now it's pretty cool. Yeah,

810
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:44,440
Speaker 1: all right, So we love the Packers Lions game. We

811
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:46,200
Speaker 1: are excited about that one. I know, if there's a

812
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:47,560
Speaker 1: lot of the line, let's run through some of the

813
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:51,600
Speaker 1: other games on the docket, you guys, wammy style. Let's

814
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:57,320
Speaker 1: go who wants Ravens Bengals, anybody written Bengals, Texans, Titans,

815
00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:02,319
Speaker 1: Panthers at Bucks. I'm working the sidelines. Buck, you're still

816
00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:06,440
Speaker 1: technically alive? Is yeah, there's You're back to Tampa, back

817
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:11,359
Speaker 1: to Tampaw. Genius was for the schedulers to make these

818
00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:15,680
Speaker 1: last games. No no Thursday night football, no Monday night football,

819
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:18,799
Speaker 1: so it's all on Sunday. It was genius for them

820
00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:20,759
Speaker 1: to make these last few weeks count. You remember when

821
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:24,000
Speaker 1: these weeks didn't count? Yeah, and we tuned them out Cardinals, Vikings,

822
00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:27,040
Speaker 1: Nathan Pool. Yeah, out of comfort it is. Make sure

823
00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:29,319
Speaker 1: to follow us on Instagram. Any Brulson we're both live

824
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:36,160
Speaker 1: on Instagram. That's cool at GMFB, Terrence, you're happy about that? Yeah, okay.

825
00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:40,839
Speaker 1: How about Cowboys at Eagles? Yes, whammy. I think there's

826
00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:43,560
Speaker 1: a fascinating aspect of this game. So nothing crazy, Peter, No,

827
00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:45,279
Speaker 1: I just think it's it's very interesting. I know we

828
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:47,160
Speaker 1: got very heated today because I said, you know, the

829
00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:49,000
Speaker 1: mere thought, okay, but were you were you guys just

830
00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:52,240
Speaker 1: joking because it actually got real serious about the award

831
00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:54,640
Speaker 1: that about the record Nate started, I mean, of course

832
00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:56,960
Speaker 1: records matter. Nate made a thing that you know, as

833
00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:58,400
Speaker 1: a player, he said, of course. I mean, look if

834
00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:01,400
Speaker 1: the rushing record is there, like you didn't advocate to

835
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:02,600
Speaker 1: go for it, but you said, I just said, I

836
00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:04,839
Speaker 1: just credit it all together. That upset in a because

837
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:06,879
Speaker 1: I said, the rookie rushing record is like, what even

838
00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:09,520
Speaker 1: is that? It's the point. It's not the rushing record.

839
00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:13,800
Speaker 1: It's not you know, the MVP, you know seven B

840
00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:15,680
Speaker 1: on the list. And you said, wait a second, it's

841
00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:18,000
Speaker 1: a record in the NFL that matters. Yeah, yeah, I mean,

842
00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:20,400
Speaker 1: and it wasn't a heated argument, was an argument. And

843
00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:22,360
Speaker 1: here's the thing I like arguing with you guys, especially

844
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:26,800
Speaker 1: Peter KB every you do like that because it's different

845
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:28,759
Speaker 1: trains of thoughts on that one hundred and eighty three

846
00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:31,040
Speaker 1: yards And we're not because we both agreed that there's

847
00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:32,680
Speaker 1: no reason to go for that. But I made this

848
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:34,919
Speaker 1: little snide comments saying it's not even a real record,

849
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:37,040
Speaker 1: like it's not Joe Di Maggio's fifty six game history,

850
00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:39,320
Speaker 1: and that set you off. Yeah, just because it's a

851
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:41,040
Speaker 1: record in NFL. I don't care how small it is.

852
00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:43,600
Speaker 1: It's hard enough to put on a jersey in the NFL,

853
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:46,279
Speaker 1: let alone, you know, grab a record that could last

854
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:48,200
Speaker 1: for a long time. So that's all it was. But

855
00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:50,640
Speaker 1: I think we're both in agreement that they don't need

856
00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:52,759
Speaker 1: to force the issue. That's not even to me, that's

857
00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:54,400
Speaker 1: not even I don't even care about it. I honestly

858
00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:57,799
Speaker 1: like NFL individual records, I don't care. What I care

859
00:38:57,840 --> 00:39:00,080
Speaker 1: about is whether I see Tony Romo or not. And

860
00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:02,560
Speaker 1: if that fourth quarter starts and the Cowboys are twenty

861
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:06,160
Speaker 1: to three on the Eagles and incomes Tony Romo, I

862
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:09,320
Speaker 1: am changing whatever game has playoff implications to put on

863
00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:11,839
Speaker 1: that one, and that's the game I want to see.

864
00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:14,000
Speaker 1: So to me, it's Burke Cahart, it's Lynch, it's Pam

865
00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:16,120
Speaker 1: Oliver like Fox, put a big crew on that game,

866
00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:19,160
Speaker 1: even there's no playoff implications. Because if there's a chance

867
00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:21,960
Speaker 1: that I get that Tony Romo run out into the field,

868
00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:24,239
Speaker 1: I am all eyes on it and I cannot wait

869
00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:26,560
Speaker 1: to see it. And I honestly think it's in Jason

870
00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:32,759
Speaker 1: Garrett's best interest to trot him on out there. I look,

871
00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:35,000
Speaker 1: we've talked about this. You gotta get him out there.

872
00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:37,240
Speaker 1: You gotta get him reps, you gotta get him played.

873
00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:39,960
Speaker 1: He hasn't played real football and over a year. And

874
00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:42,960
Speaker 1: I picture the scenario, Nate. It's the first playoff game

875
00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:45,759
Speaker 1: for the Cowboys, and Dak pulls up lane, he goes

876
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:47,959
Speaker 1: down Romo, media has got the helm, and I starts

877
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:49,320
Speaker 1: throwing on the sideline. He's got to go in in

878
00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:51,399
Speaker 1: thirty seconds for the next snap. He has not played

879
00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:53,439
Speaker 1: a real football game and over a year, two years.

880
00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:55,719
Speaker 1: Really get him in there, Let's get him some rep.

881
00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:58,800
Speaker 1: Stop hiding him. I'm not gonna hurt anybody's feelings. Dak's

882
00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:01,400
Speaker 1: very strong. We've been through this all season. Let me

883
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:03,399
Speaker 1: see Romo get a sweat, let me see you see

884
00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:04,640
Speaker 1: him get a hit. Let me see him throw a

885
00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:06,279
Speaker 1: few times to eighty eight, just to make sure we

886
00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:07,919
Speaker 1: know he's where do you guys stand on that? Because

887
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:09,600
Speaker 1: Kyle and I both want to see him. I think

888
00:40:10,640 --> 00:40:13,239
Speaker 1: I want to see him because I I don't want

889
00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:15,320
Speaker 1: the narrative of dak can't handle it? What because the

890
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:17,560
Speaker 1: druma handle the drummer? You about to go into the playoffs.

891
00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:20,200
Speaker 1: All eyes are on you. Let's go. I don't want

892
00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:22,160
Speaker 1: to see Romo on the field, just like I want

893
00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:24,080
Speaker 1: to get hurt. I don't want to get hurt. I didn't.

894
00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:25,879
Speaker 1: I didn't want to see Adrian Peterson on the field.

895
00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:27,799
Speaker 1: He didn't look the same. I feel like he lost money.

896
00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:32,360
Speaker 1: And as much as you know, I would hope Tony

897
00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:35,000
Speaker 1: Romo considers his body before he considers his play on

898
00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:38,160
Speaker 1: the field and retires. I feel like he's made his

899
00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:39,880
Speaker 1: mind up that he still wants play football. Thirty one

900
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:41,440
Speaker 1: teams want to see him out there because they want

901
00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:43,520
Speaker 1: to see what he has. Okay, cool, But if he

902
00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:44,880
Speaker 1: goes out there he doesn't look the same, or he

903
00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:47,719
Speaker 1: goes out there gets hurt, gets hit, then I think

904
00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:49,440
Speaker 1: thirty one teams are gonna make their mind up and

905
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:52,080
Speaker 1: then it's only gonna come down to one team. What

906
00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:54,640
Speaker 1: about for the Cowboys' sake doesn't matter. I feel like

907
00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:57,919
Speaker 1: Dak has showed resiliency, He's showed toughness, just like Zeke

908
00:40:57,960 --> 00:41:01,360
Speaker 1: has those young fellows. Does something happened to Dak? God forbid?

909
00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:03,880
Speaker 1: Knock on wood? And they have to have Romo out there,

910
00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:07,000
Speaker 1: don't you? He get the feel of like the offensive line,

911
00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:09,120
Speaker 1: and I don't know if some of his weapons been

912
00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:11,759
Speaker 1: there now he hasn't been there. Zeke's been there, he

913
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:14,239
Speaker 1: hasn't playing the game. Not being there with Zeke is

914
00:41:14,360 --> 00:41:16,560
Speaker 1: probably the ultimate comfort because all all he has to

915
00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:17,759
Speaker 1: do is turn around and hand it off. As far

916
00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:19,799
Speaker 1: as being behind that line and known the playbook, Romo

917
00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:22,200
Speaker 1: doesn't need reps, like he doesn't need to go out

918
00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:25,320
Speaker 1: there and get a feel for things. Just couple a

919
00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:30,520
Speaker 1: couple of reps. Here's the thing. I'm saying all this

920
00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:35,120
Speaker 1: because I want this. What does that give you? What

921
00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:37,200
Speaker 1: is the allure of Tony Romo and like keeping him

922
00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:38,920
Speaker 1: in his bubble wrap give you? I don't get it. No,

923
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:41,680
Speaker 1: not for me, just for the NFL. I want there

924
00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:45,279
Speaker 1: to be a firesale for people getting rid of their

925
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:48,319
Speaker 1: players to try to acquire Tony, and I want Tony

926
00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:50,160
Speaker 1: to break the bank again, and I want all these

927
00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:53,040
Speaker 1: expectations and the dramatics of Tony Romo. Being another Jersey

928
00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:55,759
Speaker 1: Bears fan, I need do you want to see? I

929
00:41:55,840 --> 00:42:00,320
Speaker 1: need to confirmation if they should call a new England

930
00:42:00,360 --> 00:42:02,400
Speaker 1: to be like, hey, Belichick, what do we want for Garoppolo?

931
00:42:02,600 --> 00:42:06,440
Speaker 1: Or I need to know if it's hate and as

932
00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:09,200
Speaker 1: a fan, you want to see if almost healthy. I'd

933
00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:11,160
Speaker 1: rather just not seeing Tessa Field at all because I

934
00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:14,120
Speaker 1: want the dramatics. It's not unknown, it's the honest Wagner

935
00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:18,240
Speaker 1: rookie for Nate, it's in the case. It appreciates value.

936
00:42:18,760 --> 00:42:29,960
Speaker 1: Jets definitely, Nomy, Bears, Vikings, Double Wolf, No Jack's Colts, Pats, Dolphins.

937
00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:34,720
Speaker 1: I love the Paths Dolls. I like it because Treger,

938
00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:36,560
Speaker 1: you can help me out with this. The playoff implications

939
00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:38,520
Speaker 1: are great. They could knock the Paths off of the

940
00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:42,040
Speaker 1: one Seed, making them travel to Oakland or wherever. The

941
00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:45,440
Speaker 1: for everything to go through Foxboro is huge. We saw

942
00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:48,879
Speaker 1: them lose last year in Denver. Just not a good deal.

943
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:50,719
Speaker 1: Dolphins are ten and five. Man Dolphins are ten and

944
00:42:50,719 --> 00:42:53,040
Speaker 1: five and if the Dolphins seventeen last year, and the

945
00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:55,080
Speaker 1: Chiefs lose, the Dolphins suddenly have the five seed, and

946
00:42:55,160 --> 00:42:57,760
Speaker 1: instead of having to play the Steelers, they play the Texans.

947
00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:01,279
Speaker 1: So the Dolphins have everything to play and k is

948
00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:04,320
Speaker 1: right for whatever reason, Matt Moore Tanner, where the Dolphins

949
00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:08,719
Speaker 1: give the Patriots trouble and one in the last three

950
00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:10,480
Speaker 1: meetings or something like that. What do we always say,

951
00:43:10,640 --> 00:43:12,279
Speaker 1: if you want to beat the Patriots, you have to

952
00:43:12,360 --> 00:43:14,120
Speaker 1: hit Brady in the mouth. Look at that pass rush.

953
00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:16,600
Speaker 1: They got bad dudes and Dominick and Cameron Wake That's

954
00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:19,440
Speaker 1: how you beat Since Week six has ten and a

955
00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:22,120
Speaker 1: half sacks, that has more than anybody in the game.

956
00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:26,320
Speaker 1: He looks great. You've got guys like Kenyan Barner, Dion

957
00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:34,879
Speaker 1: Sims scoring touchdowns and making plays. I like Drake. It's

958
00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:37,239
Speaker 1: like the Dolphins said ten and five next to their name,

959
00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:39,040
Speaker 1: like that was such a strange thing because they've been

960
00:43:39,080 --> 00:43:41,560
Speaker 1: so mediocre for so long. They're about to go eleven

961
00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:43,759
Speaker 1: and five. They started the year one and four. A

962
00:43:45,040 --> 00:43:50,480
Speaker 1: lot of wins. Man Chiefs, the Chargers, No thanks, Chargers

963
00:43:50,560 --> 00:43:58,440
Speaker 1: lost the Browns, Cardinals, Rams, Raiders, Broncos. I'll take that one.

964
00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:02,560
Speaker 1: I'll take that one in case. Yes, you know, okay, obviously, look,

965
00:44:02,680 --> 00:44:05,000
Speaker 1: this is a big deal in the whole span of

966
00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:07,239
Speaker 1: the AFC playoffs because we're going to get our look

967
00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:10,040
Speaker 1: at Matt mcgloyn. And I have to give I have

968
00:44:10,120 --> 00:44:12,319
Speaker 1: to give Colin Coward credit because I watched the show

969
00:44:12,520 --> 00:44:14,480
Speaker 1: when Peter goes on there and he did this bit

970
00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:16,760
Speaker 1: that was funny about there's this guy in North Carolina,

971
00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:20,239
Speaker 1: Mitch Trubisky, and he's like, you're never gonna be a

972
00:44:20,360 --> 00:44:23,359
Speaker 1: legendary quarterback named Mitche Trubisky. And so it's like, okay,

973
00:44:23,719 --> 00:44:28,400
Speaker 1: Joe Montana, Dan Marino, Matt mcgloy I don't he doesn't

974
00:44:28,440 --> 00:44:33,040
Speaker 1: pass the name TESTA he does, see, like with a

975
00:44:33,160 --> 00:44:37,239
Speaker 1: Kilton and big axe or something, but much more importantly.

976
00:44:37,320 --> 00:44:40,640
Speaker 1: All right, So Matt McGlinn's gonna come in. Everybody's gonna

977
00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:43,200
Speaker 1: be watching him. You got this this Cinderella team and

978
00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:45,439
Speaker 1: the cars out and you're in, and now you gotta

979
00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:48,800
Speaker 1: go at the Broncos. You gotta go at Vaughan and

980
00:44:48,920 --> 00:44:51,480
Speaker 1: I keep and all those dudes on the road at

981
00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:54,040
Speaker 1: that mile high. I don't know that fun did Broncos

982
00:44:54,120 --> 00:44:56,440
Speaker 1: defense kind of looks like it's got some holes on it.

983
00:44:57,840 --> 00:45:00,480
Speaker 1: She still got the guys chiefs just let and they

984
00:45:00,560 --> 00:45:03,560
Speaker 1: might be checked out being eliminated. The guy is starting

985
00:45:03,640 --> 00:45:05,319
Speaker 1: for the Raiders. I'm not saying there's still the eighty

986
00:45:05,360 --> 00:45:07,319
Speaker 1: five Bears. I'm saying, though, that they're also not playing

987
00:45:07,360 --> 00:45:09,640
Speaker 1: the Rams this week, and they're playing a team that's

988
00:45:09,719 --> 00:45:12,440
Speaker 1: been there, that hopefully has some pride at home on

989
00:45:12,600 --> 00:45:14,480
Speaker 1: the road. So I think we're gonna see in the

990
00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:17,840
Speaker 1: first quarter. Does Matt mcgloyin pete on his leg or

991
00:45:17,920 --> 00:45:19,920
Speaker 1: is it like everybody's saying, no, he's been around, he's

992
00:45:19,920 --> 00:45:23,359
Speaker 1: a great Let's see what this guy's got, because we're

993
00:45:23,360 --> 00:45:25,239
Speaker 1: gonna be watching him start a playoff game and I

994
00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:26,640
Speaker 1: don't do it. Who do you think? I don't even

995
00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:28,000
Speaker 1: looked at the Vegas lines. Who do you think is

996
00:45:28,040 --> 00:45:30,160
Speaker 1: even favored in that game? It's in Denver, the Raiders

997
00:45:30,200 --> 00:45:32,600
Speaker 1: are riding high. I would think the Broncs are favored.

998
00:45:32,719 --> 00:45:36,000
Speaker 1: Are they're eliminated? Yes? I would think even so, the

999
00:45:36,040 --> 00:45:38,600
Speaker 1: Broncos had to be favored, right, I don't, Yeah, it's

1000
00:45:38,600 --> 00:45:40,360
Speaker 1: probably really close. I'm not good in lines like that.

1001
00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:42,120
Speaker 1: I don't my only lines. I do a rap lines,

1002
00:45:42,160 --> 00:45:47,279
Speaker 1: but I don't do h I don't do so. No,

1003
00:45:47,360 --> 00:45:49,000
Speaker 1: I'm way into that. I think everyone's into that. We

1004
00:45:49,120 --> 00:45:54,560
Speaker 1: gotta see Matt mcloyin Seahawks, Niners, No Saints, Falcons and

1005
00:45:54,640 --> 00:45:59,640
Speaker 1: Packers lines. Do you like those Falcons Giants Redskins is intriguing?

1006
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:02,600
Speaker 1: Do you want that one? Well? Man, we touched on

1007
00:46:02,640 --> 00:46:04,959
Speaker 1: the Packers Lions. I think we pretty much said everything.

1008
00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:08,319
Speaker 1: We need Falcons, n that's a game and a half,

1009
00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:12,239
Speaker 1: I said, but Seas Falcons, you can imagine what it

1010
00:46:12,280 --> 00:46:14,520
Speaker 1: would be like. Yeah, and maybe it'll be a playoff game. Right.

1011
00:46:15,960 --> 00:46:18,800
Speaker 1: Speaking of Seattle, though, Redskins is the biggest game of

1012
00:46:18,880 --> 00:46:22,160
Speaker 1: their interesting team too. Though, yeah, win an end for them,

1013
00:46:22,280 --> 00:46:26,320
Speaker 1: I mean more or less unless the can the Redskins

1014
00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:29,759
Speaker 1: do it, I don't know. You know, here's the thing, man,

1015
00:46:30,840 --> 00:46:32,560
Speaker 1: I like the Giants and they're hot right now. I

1016
00:46:32,600 --> 00:46:36,560
Speaker 1: feel like they got a rhythm and Giants Redskins similar

1017
00:46:36,680 --> 00:46:39,239
Speaker 1: dynamic to Packers Lions. The Giants kind of got that

1018
00:46:39,360 --> 00:46:42,480
Speaker 1: big brother like mentality, like we got the rings. You know,

1019
00:46:42,560 --> 00:46:45,560
Speaker 1: we might have had equally as a roller coaster season

1020
00:46:45,600 --> 00:46:48,040
Speaker 1: as you guys, but we're better, Like we're the Giants.

1021
00:46:48,080 --> 00:46:50,600
Speaker 1: We're better than you guys. So the Redskins have to

1022
00:46:50,600 --> 00:46:54,080
Speaker 1: battle that like this, out of these last games in

1023
00:46:54,200 --> 00:46:57,840
Speaker 1: week seventeen, there's a lot of demons that could potentially

1024
00:46:57,880 --> 00:47:01,440
Speaker 1: be exercised and it could be a shift and how

1025
00:47:01,520 --> 00:47:04,320
Speaker 1: we look at organizations moving forward. So I'm excited to

1026
00:47:04,320 --> 00:47:06,200
Speaker 1: see what happens. But like with all this stuff being

1027
00:47:06,239 --> 00:47:09,600
Speaker 1: said and everything we're talking about, you know, Brady not

1028
00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:13,680
Speaker 1: having Gronk, Russell Wilson, dealing with his superstar of the

1029
00:47:14,120 --> 00:47:17,239
Speaker 1: X factor going down, no Derek Carr, all these backups,

1030
00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:19,959
Speaker 1: I honestly believe for the first time in a long time,

1031
00:47:20,800 --> 00:47:22,520
Speaker 1: anybody can win it. And it's not gonna be your

1032
00:47:22,560 --> 00:47:25,040
Speaker 1: traditional picks that we usually you know, it's not gonna

1033
00:47:25,040 --> 00:47:29,000
Speaker 1: be you know, Pats and the Okay, so Nate's taking

1034
00:47:29,040 --> 00:47:31,920
Speaker 1: Tom Savage and the Texans to go and get that child.

1035
00:47:33,920 --> 00:47:36,799
Speaker 1: But I'm not going that far. But I'm saying, maybe

1036
00:47:36,880 --> 00:47:39,080
Speaker 1: it's Atlanta the Cowboys, two teams. We haven't seen the

1037
00:47:39,160 --> 00:47:40,640
Speaker 1: super Bowl in a long time, so that note, that's

1038
00:47:40,680 --> 00:47:42,880
Speaker 1: why I want the Redskins in the playoffs. Because we

1039
00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:45,520
Speaker 1: talked about this. The Redskins to me have knockout power.

1040
00:47:45,680 --> 00:47:49,480
Speaker 1: That's how they described maybe they're not. No, the Redskins

1041
00:47:49,560 --> 00:47:52,000
Speaker 1: with those deep threats in that offense, they're a team

1042
00:47:52,080 --> 00:47:54,359
Speaker 1: that could just and they've got nine off they lost.

1043
00:47:56,440 --> 00:48:00,120
Speaker 1: I trusted them. The Redskins like a heavyweight fighter that

1044
00:48:00,239 --> 00:48:02,279
Speaker 1: they got one punch can knock you out and blow

1045
00:48:02,320 --> 00:48:05,080
Speaker 1: the doors off you. But then George are like the

1046
00:48:05,200 --> 00:48:08,120
Speaker 1: middleweight fighter, like 'll jab and to try to get

1047
00:48:08,160 --> 00:48:10,719
Speaker 1: the decision at the end of the knocked out at

1048
00:48:10,719 --> 00:48:12,440
Speaker 1: the end. Right, But no, that's why I want the

1049
00:48:12,480 --> 00:48:15,160
Speaker 1: Redskins in. I dig it. All right, let's guys, it's

1050
00:48:15,200 --> 00:48:18,160
Speaker 1: next time we do this podcast would be twenty seventeen.

1051
00:48:18,360 --> 00:48:20,399
Speaker 1: Oh man, So right in twenty sixteen, on my check

1052
00:48:20,560 --> 00:48:23,200
Speaker 1: what woild Let's use some of my New Year's resolutions,

1053
00:48:23,239 --> 00:48:25,160
Speaker 1: shall we? Yeah? I think on the show what we

1054
00:48:25,200 --> 00:48:27,320
Speaker 1: should do is do what maybe what teams should resolve

1055
00:48:27,440 --> 00:48:31,120
Speaker 1: to do. But let's do our personal New Year's resolutions. Mate,

1056
00:48:31,360 --> 00:48:33,520
Speaker 1: kick us off. You're going with me right out the game.

1057
00:48:35,600 --> 00:48:38,000
Speaker 1: I do got a brainstone, you know what. Give you

1058
00:48:38,040 --> 00:48:40,480
Speaker 1: a minute here, Kyle. That's the person when the waiters like,

1059
00:48:40,640 --> 00:48:41,920
Speaker 1: can you come back to me? I need to look

1060
00:48:41,920 --> 00:48:43,560
Speaker 1: at the menu still. I know I come here all

1061
00:48:43,600 --> 00:48:46,040
Speaker 1: the time and I ordered the same thing every time.

1062
00:48:46,640 --> 00:48:49,200
Speaker 1: My New Year's resolution, I've had ones in the past

1063
00:48:50,040 --> 00:48:52,200
Speaker 1: for years. It was always to flossmore, and then I

1064
00:48:52,280 --> 00:48:54,200
Speaker 1: started doing that, and then sometimes a sort of diet

1065
00:48:54,280 --> 00:48:57,600
Speaker 1: related mine is a very yeah, flossmore, and I wasn't

1066
00:48:57,600 --> 00:48:59,319
Speaker 1: flossing a lot, and then I flossed all the time

1067
00:48:59,360 --> 00:49:02,800
Speaker 1: now twenty seventeen. Thing my new Year's resolution is to

1068
00:49:02,880 --> 00:49:06,040
Speaker 1: tweet more. And I'm not into it. I'm not a

1069
00:49:06,160 --> 00:49:08,279
Speaker 1: natural tweeter. I don't put a lot of tweets out there.

1070
00:49:08,320 --> 00:49:09,960
Speaker 1: I don't like it, but I know that as the

1071
00:49:10,040 --> 00:49:12,040
Speaker 1: way of the world we work in the media. I

1072
00:49:12,120 --> 00:49:14,560
Speaker 1: should be instagramming more. I should be tweeting more. It's

1073
00:49:14,600 --> 00:49:17,239
Speaker 1: just it's hard when I'm out and about why why

1074
00:49:17,280 --> 00:49:19,200
Speaker 1: are you saying that? Because that's the way the media works,

1075
00:49:19,239 --> 00:49:21,000
Speaker 1: and that's the way the industry is. And you know,

1076
00:49:21,239 --> 00:49:22,879
Speaker 1: there's if you're part of the media and we're full

1077
00:49:22,920 --> 00:49:24,440
Speaker 1: time on a show now, and you should you should

1078
00:49:24,520 --> 00:49:27,239
Speaker 1: let people in. Yeah, I mean all that stuff, and

1079
00:49:27,360 --> 00:49:29,920
Speaker 1: I do want to play that game. And yet when

1080
00:49:29,920 --> 00:49:32,480
Speaker 1: I'm out at the pumpkin patch with my family, I

1081
00:49:32,560 --> 00:49:34,440
Speaker 1: don't feel like taking a few minutes to do the

1082
00:49:34,480 --> 00:49:37,560
Speaker 1: stupid Instagram picture of me doing this and say hey everybody.

1083
00:49:38,080 --> 00:49:40,719
Speaker 1: But I feel like maybe I should do more of that.

1084
00:49:40,960 --> 00:49:43,080
Speaker 1: So I don't tweet very much. I think jokes, I

1085
00:49:43,120 --> 00:49:45,080
Speaker 1: think observations all the time. I just don't tweet them.

1086
00:49:45,080 --> 00:49:47,200
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm off my phone. I'm enjoying my family.

1087
00:49:47,600 --> 00:49:49,160
Speaker 1: But I think in twenty seventeen, I want to try

1088
00:49:49,160 --> 00:49:50,880
Speaker 1: to do it more because I there's other people who

1089
00:49:50,920 --> 00:49:52,640
Speaker 1: do it a lot, who I follow, who I respect,

1090
00:49:52,760 --> 00:49:55,319
Speaker 1: and I'm prideful that I don't do it. But it's

1091
00:49:55,360 --> 00:49:57,160
Speaker 1: the way of the world. Peter, you understand, you gotta

1092
00:49:57,160 --> 00:49:58,960
Speaker 1: put you got a social media you gotta do it

1093
00:49:59,040 --> 00:50:02,200
Speaker 1: at you gotta do it more too. I find, honestly,

1094
00:50:02,840 --> 00:50:04,960
Speaker 1: the more you get to know people on Twitter, you

1095
00:50:05,520 --> 00:50:07,640
Speaker 1: you believe that that's them, and you start to dislike

1096
00:50:07,719 --> 00:50:10,560
Speaker 1: because you're like another tweet from that guy. And if anything,

1097
00:50:10,560 --> 00:50:13,359
Speaker 1: I want to pull the reins back. I'm tweeting nonsensical

1098
00:50:13,520 --> 00:50:15,880
Speaker 1: like commentary on a game like it's It's in the

1099
00:50:15,960 --> 00:50:18,279
Speaker 1: ether it last week, and I'm praying for retweets. I'm like,

1100
00:50:18,440 --> 00:50:20,160
Speaker 1: that's no way to live life. Dude, what do you

1101
00:50:20,239 --> 00:50:24,080
Speaker 1: want out of the tweets? You want, you want the

1102
00:50:24,160 --> 00:50:26,200
Speaker 1: engagement with the viewers and make you feel like that,

1103
00:50:26,560 --> 00:50:29,120
Speaker 1: what is it? Yeah, I want engagement, especially now. I

1104
00:50:29,239 --> 00:50:31,279
Speaker 1: never cared about it before, but now that we have

1105
00:50:31,360 --> 00:50:32,640
Speaker 1: a show and we have a viewers. You know, we

1106
00:50:32,719 --> 00:50:34,719
Speaker 1: talked a lot about tweeting during the show, which I've

1107
00:50:34,719 --> 00:50:37,359
Speaker 1: totally gotten away from. And then you know, that's how

1108
00:50:37,400 --> 00:50:39,799
Speaker 1: the game is played. Now, you tweet away, you let

1109
00:50:39,840 --> 00:50:41,799
Speaker 1: people into your life, and I don't do that at all.

1110
00:50:42,080 --> 00:50:43,520
Speaker 1: I don't want to be one of these crazy high

1111
00:50:43,600 --> 00:50:47,839
Speaker 1: volume tweeting everything fifty tweets as the politics tweets another

1112
00:50:47,960 --> 00:50:49,440
Speaker 1: or the guys who are promoting their own, you know,

1113
00:50:49,640 --> 00:50:51,560
Speaker 1: their own stuff or I just worked out, I just

1114
00:50:51,640 --> 00:50:54,839
Speaker 1: did the damn thing. But the mute button is fast.

1115
00:50:54,880 --> 00:50:57,400
Speaker 1: I don't know. You guys to teach me. So you

1116
00:50:57,480 --> 00:51:00,880
Speaker 1: can unfollow people and that ends relationships. I've seen relationships

1117
00:51:00,920 --> 00:51:03,480
Speaker 1: and because someone unfollowed the other. But the life hack,

1118
00:51:03,640 --> 00:51:06,600
Speaker 1: the tweet hack, just mute him. I know someone who

1119
00:51:06,640 --> 00:51:08,719
Speaker 1: works for this networker got unfollowed once by somebody I

1120
00:51:08,840 --> 00:51:11,279
Speaker 1: know and was very upset about it. There's your blind

1121
00:51:11,320 --> 00:51:13,400
Speaker 1: at them. But no, the mute is the is the

1122
00:51:13,560 --> 00:51:15,759
Speaker 1: end all solve all because you keep following them, you

1123
00:51:15,880 --> 00:51:18,080
Speaker 1: don't see their tweets anymore, and you can be free

1124
00:51:18,200 --> 00:51:21,680
Speaker 1: from their and observations on Hillary and Trump without having

1125
00:51:21,719 --> 00:51:25,080
Speaker 1: to unfollow them. But my resolution tweet more, Instagram more.

1126
00:51:25,080 --> 00:51:26,560
Speaker 1: I'm never gonna be high volume. I just gotta do

1127
00:51:26,600 --> 00:51:28,719
Speaker 1: it more. I want to play the game more. Yeah,

1128
00:51:29,360 --> 00:51:35,759
Speaker 1: what do you got? My resolution? All right? So tweet less,

1129
00:51:36,880 --> 00:51:39,799
Speaker 1: talk more. UM. Now, I would say that my that's

1130
00:51:39,800 --> 00:51:44,440
Speaker 1: a Hamilton is a very saturated place. My resolution, honestly,

1131
00:51:44,480 --> 00:51:46,600
Speaker 1: and this sounds so so hokey, is that I'm so

1132
00:51:46,880 --> 00:51:50,640
Speaker 1: all gung ho football from um. I guess like July

1133
00:51:50,800 --> 00:51:53,239
Speaker 1: twenty fifth, from training camp right through to the super Bowl,

1134
00:51:53,320 --> 00:51:55,000
Speaker 1: that I neglect everyone else in my life. I haven't

1135
00:51:55,000 --> 00:51:57,040
Speaker 1: seen my high school friends all season long. I'll travel

1136
00:51:57,080 --> 00:51:59,680
Speaker 1: on the weekend. Am I kind of want to take

1137
00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:02,239
Speaker 1: some time to appreciate my new baby and appreciate my

1138
00:52:02,360 --> 00:52:05,040
Speaker 1: wife and kind of unplug after the super Bowl, before

1139
00:52:05,040 --> 00:52:07,399
Speaker 1: the combine, I got two weeks before we get back

1140
00:52:07,400 --> 00:52:09,440
Speaker 1: into draft mode, and I really want to make a

1141
00:52:09,560 --> 00:52:12,920
Speaker 1: concerted effort to unplug and appreciate the things that are

1142
00:52:12,960 --> 00:52:15,800
Speaker 1: non work related and non football related, which sounds so hokey.

1143
00:52:15,960 --> 00:52:17,640
Speaker 1: There's something in mind. What would you want to appreciate

1144
00:52:17,719 --> 00:52:19,160
Speaker 1: more other than your family? I mean, like you want

1145
00:52:19,200 --> 00:52:22,080
Speaker 1: to know I miss I miss everything. I missed Christmas.

1146
00:52:22,120 --> 00:52:23,640
Speaker 1: I'm gonna miss New Year's Eve with my wife, I'm

1147
00:52:23,640 --> 00:52:25,360
Speaker 1: gonna miss New Year's Day. And don't woe is me.

1148
00:52:25,480 --> 00:52:27,160
Speaker 1: It's what we do. It's the walk. So when I

1149
00:52:27,239 --> 00:52:28,839
Speaker 1: am around, I want to be present. I don't want

1150
00:52:28,840 --> 00:52:30,200
Speaker 1: to be checking the phone. I don't want to be

1151
00:52:30,239 --> 00:52:31,439
Speaker 1: thinking about it. I don't want to be doing monk

1152
00:52:31,520 --> 00:52:33,600
Speaker 1: drafts for those two weeks. I might want to take

1153
00:52:33,640 --> 00:52:36,040
Speaker 1: a little time to appreciate everything else in the world,

1154
00:52:36,080 --> 00:52:39,520
Speaker 1: which range which sounds crazy, it's it's right all time.

1155
00:52:39,880 --> 00:52:45,080
Speaker 1: That's good stuff, man, I've I've been there. Not the

1156
00:52:45,120 --> 00:52:47,800
Speaker 1: easiest thing for you to do. Yeah, I love it.

1157
00:52:47,960 --> 00:52:50,040
Speaker 1: I love this stuff. Yeah, yeah, I've been there. That's

1158
00:52:50,080 --> 00:52:53,600
Speaker 1: why it's so good for me. I guess it's similar

1159
00:52:54,120 --> 00:52:56,480
Speaker 1: in a sense, like me being the Leo and always

1160
00:52:56,480 --> 00:52:58,440
Speaker 1: identifying with the lion and want to take over that

1161
00:52:58,520 --> 00:53:02,799
Speaker 1: jungle lions blood, I'm blowing jungle. I always wake up

1162
00:53:02,840 --> 00:53:05,719
Speaker 1: and feel like there's more to do, more to hunt for,

1163
00:53:06,560 --> 00:53:09,800
Speaker 1: and it's fatiguing because then I go home, and I

1164
00:53:09,920 --> 00:53:11,600
Speaker 1: go in the daddy mode and I'm very present when

1165
00:53:11,640 --> 00:53:13,880
Speaker 1: I'm there. I cook, I clean, I picked him up

1166
00:53:13,880 --> 00:53:16,360
Speaker 1: for school. I'm at basketball practice late, even though my

1167
00:53:16,400 --> 00:53:18,319
Speaker 1: wife's like, no, I don't go. But I feel bad

1168
00:53:18,320 --> 00:53:20,080
Speaker 1: because I'm sitting at home and my son's in the gym,

1169
00:53:20,400 --> 00:53:21,600
Speaker 1: And even though I'm tired, I could be in the

1170
00:53:21,640 --> 00:53:23,840
Speaker 1: gym just sitting in the stands, not that I'm coaching.

1171
00:53:24,239 --> 00:53:26,239
Speaker 1: That he sees me there in the present, right. So

1172
00:53:27,600 --> 00:53:31,320
Speaker 1: finding the balance between always wanting to conquer the world

1173
00:53:31,520 --> 00:53:35,040
Speaker 1: or go hunt the next big kill. I have to

1174
00:53:35,120 --> 00:53:37,640
Speaker 1: be able to detach as well. And I'm glad that

1175
00:53:37,719 --> 00:53:39,439
Speaker 1: my family can see me more now that I'm working

1176
00:53:39,480 --> 00:53:42,200
Speaker 1: this job. But I need to be able to just

1177
00:53:42,400 --> 00:53:45,080
Speaker 1: like turn off the switch. It's kind of hard because

1178
00:53:45,080 --> 00:53:47,920
Speaker 1: I tell little kids, greatness isn't a dimmer, you know,

1179
00:53:47,920 --> 00:53:50,680
Speaker 1: It's either on or off. So for me, I don't

1180
00:53:50,680 --> 00:53:52,719
Speaker 1: always have to be in hunt mode or take over

1181
00:53:52,800 --> 00:53:54,560
Speaker 1: the world mode. So for me, I think I'm gonna

1182
00:53:55,120 --> 00:53:57,880
Speaker 1: kind of scale back and pick and choose my battles

1183
00:53:57,880 --> 00:54:00,279
Speaker 1: because I literally wake up and I feel like there's

1184
00:54:00,360 --> 00:54:02,320
Speaker 1: something great that I have to do today. It's like

1185
00:54:02,840 --> 00:54:05,160
Speaker 1: me telling myself. I thought that as a player doesn't

1186
00:54:05,200 --> 00:54:07,440
Speaker 1: necessarily translate now that I'm not playing, So I just

1187
00:54:07,520 --> 00:54:10,120
Speaker 1: got to pick and choose when I have that approach. Okay,

1188
00:54:10,360 --> 00:54:13,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with there's a couple of them. I

1189
00:54:13,120 --> 00:54:17,200
Speaker 1: want to catch up. I feel like season started crazy fantasy.

1190
00:54:17,320 --> 00:54:19,319
Speaker 1: I've worked for Direct TV on the weekends. It takes

1191
00:54:19,400 --> 00:54:20,800
Speaker 1: up a lot of my time and I love it,

1192
00:54:21,280 --> 00:54:23,920
Speaker 1: but I'm going to have now after this week, no

1193
00:54:24,120 --> 00:54:27,440
Speaker 1: Thursday work, no Sunday work, Thursday night work rather, So

1194
00:54:27,719 --> 00:54:29,160
Speaker 1: I'm just I want to catch up. I want to

1195
00:54:29,320 --> 00:54:30,600
Speaker 1: do all the things that I haven't been able to

1196
00:54:30,680 --> 00:54:34,200
Speaker 1: do and not throw myself into another job right away,

1197
00:54:34,200 --> 00:54:36,040
Speaker 1: which is like my immediate thing is like, oh no,

1198
00:54:36,239 --> 00:54:38,200
Speaker 1: what am I gonna do now? I have Sundays free,

1199
00:54:38,400 --> 00:54:40,040
Speaker 1: and you want to relax. I want to catch up.

1200
00:54:40,120 --> 00:54:43,799
Speaker 1: I want to make my resolution to see live music

1201
00:54:43,840 --> 00:54:46,480
Speaker 1: at least once a month. I love going to live shows.

Speaker 1: Kyle's given one, Nate's given one. Essentially what it is.

1213
00:55:15,480 --> 00:55:17,000
Speaker 1: In the next few minutes, I'm gonna tell you a

1214
00:55:17,080 --> 00:55:20,480
Speaker 1: story about an NFL person in our world, or a

1215
00:55:20,560 --> 00:55:23,800
Speaker 1: celebrity or something. And I'm never gonna reveal who it is.

1216
00:55:24,000 --> 00:55:25,919
Speaker 1: I'm never going to reveal the name of the person,

1217
00:55:25,960 --> 00:55:27,839
Speaker 1: but we're gonna tell you the scenario. And the Twitter

1218
00:55:27,960 --> 00:55:30,319
Speaker 1: followers at home can guess. They can tweet us all

1219
00:55:30,360 --> 00:55:33,719
Speaker 1: the stuff. Mine goes very blue good. That's where I live.

1220
00:55:33,800 --> 00:55:37,040
Speaker 1: Mine gets between the sheets. I'm going a dark place.

1221
00:55:37,200 --> 00:55:42,000
Speaker 1: What's going on? So I was in an NFL city

1222
00:55:42,440 --> 00:55:45,920
Speaker 1: at a hotel lobby and I was saying, there and

1223
00:55:46,480 --> 00:55:49,200
Speaker 1: a former athlete I'm not gonna name the sport when

1224
00:55:49,280 --> 00:55:52,880
Speaker 1: was two years ago? Two years ago? Former athletes so

1225
00:55:52,920 --> 00:55:55,160
Speaker 1: it's not a football player, we got that already, was

1226
00:55:55,400 --> 00:55:58,279
Speaker 1: in the lobby and We talked and I said, what's

1227
00:55:58,400 --> 00:56:00,200
Speaker 1: up and says, I've seen you on television, and I

1228
00:56:00,239 --> 00:56:02,160
Speaker 1: felt pretty cool. This former athlete knew who I was.

1229
00:56:02,239 --> 00:56:06,520
Speaker 1: We didn't take any photos. Whatever. I decide that I'm

1230
00:56:06,560 --> 00:56:08,520
Speaker 1: about to call to night and he's like, I'm having

1231
00:56:08,560 --> 00:56:09,920
Speaker 1: a good time, and you know, I don't know if

1232
00:56:09,960 --> 00:56:11,839
Speaker 1: this is bro code that I'm breaking up the thing.

1233
00:56:11,880 --> 00:56:13,800
Speaker 1: I don't know what his marriage said. I have no idea,

1234
00:56:14,280 --> 00:56:17,040
Speaker 1: but just so happening. I have no idea. I don't care.

1235
00:56:17,680 --> 00:56:20,120
Speaker 1: We both leave the hotel lobby at the same time.

1236
00:56:20,160 --> 00:56:23,160
Speaker 1: It's very awkward. We get into the elevator together. He

1237
00:56:23,360 --> 00:56:26,680
Speaker 1: has a young lady. I do not. We go up

1238
00:56:26,760 --> 00:56:29,320
Speaker 1: and we both press the same and on the elevator

1239
00:56:29,640 --> 00:56:33,080
Speaker 1: floor like, okay, this is interesting bing and you know

1240
00:56:33,239 --> 00:56:36,360
Speaker 1: Flora eleven. We open up bing and you know, sometimes

1241
00:56:36,400 --> 00:56:37,560
Speaker 1: you take the right and the other guy takes the

1242
00:56:37,640 --> 00:56:40,120
Speaker 1: leven and we both go right. I'm all right, awkward.

1243
00:56:41,080 --> 00:56:43,279
Speaker 1: I'm in room eleven oh three and next to me

1244
00:56:43,360 --> 00:56:45,759
Speaker 1: and eleven oh five. Is this gentleman and the lady?

1245
00:56:47,480 --> 00:56:52,160
Speaker 1: What they do in there? For the next twelve hours,

1246
00:56:52,680 --> 00:56:56,920
Speaker 1: there was some animalistic sounds going on. I thought there

1247
00:56:57,080 --> 00:57:02,439
Speaker 1: was a Okay, that's gross. I thought I thought only

1248
00:57:02,520 --> 00:57:04,440
Speaker 1: one of them, the noises that were being me, I

1249
00:57:04,480 --> 00:57:05,960
Speaker 1: thought only one of them was gonna make it out

1250
00:57:05,960 --> 00:57:10,200
Speaker 1: a lot. It was. It sounded like Jamanji. It sounded

1251
00:57:10,239 --> 00:57:14,719
Speaker 1: like you know any movie you can image? Yes, Ron, Jamanji?

1252
00:57:15,080 --> 00:57:16,840
Speaker 1: Is that is that the version? Okay, that's in the

1253
00:57:16,880 --> 00:57:23,960
Speaker 1: back of the adult section? Yeah, long story short, Okay.

1254
00:57:24,040 --> 00:57:27,440
Speaker 1: I am almost im blushing telling you this story. The

1255
00:57:27,560 --> 00:57:31,160
Speaker 1: next morning I woke up, I was completely out of sorts.

1256
00:57:31,320 --> 00:57:33,680
Speaker 1: I didn't sleep a wink because it was twelve hours

1257
00:57:33,880 --> 00:57:37,320
Speaker 1: of the sound effects. This guy on such a show,

1258
00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:41,479
Speaker 1: and I felt so emasculated. Yeah, and I also wanted

1259
00:57:41,520 --> 00:57:43,280
Speaker 1: to call the front desk and actually tell them, like,

1260
00:57:43,720 --> 00:57:45,560
Speaker 1: can you tell him to just calm it down for

1261
00:57:45,680 --> 00:57:47,360
Speaker 1: an hour? I need to get some shot. I can

1262
00:57:47,400 --> 00:57:49,080
Speaker 1: barely hear my two and a half men marathon. I'm

1263
00:57:49,160 --> 00:57:52,200
Speaker 1: trying to watch I'm trying to watch Big Bang Theory,

1264
00:57:52,240 --> 00:57:53,720
Speaker 1: and all I'm getting is the big in the bank.

1265
00:57:55,600 --> 00:57:58,560
Speaker 1: I got a theory on that Big Bang. Long story short,

1266
00:57:59,680 --> 00:58:03,840
Speaker 1: long s This former athlete kept me up all night,

1267
00:58:04,080 --> 00:58:06,320
Speaker 1: and kudos to him in kudos a lady. I hope

1268
00:58:06,320 --> 00:58:08,760
Speaker 1: they lived halfway ever after you ever saw them, ever

1269
00:58:08,840 --> 00:58:11,560
Speaker 1: saw him again. I haven't seen the athlete again. You're

1270
00:58:11,680 --> 00:58:15,919
Speaker 1: doing any time, and a half person is immediately after

1271
00:58:15,960 --> 00:58:19,080
Speaker 1: we wrap. Anytime I see this person, whether someone mentions

1272
00:58:19,160 --> 00:58:20,560
Speaker 1: him in like historic forms, like he was one of

1273
00:58:20,600 --> 00:58:22,959
Speaker 1: the great at this position, I'm like, and I laughed

1274
00:58:22,960 --> 00:58:24,960
Speaker 1: to myself, and I just move right along. But that

1275
00:58:25,160 --> 00:58:27,760
Speaker 1: is my blind item. My blind item sucked compared to

1276
00:58:27,800 --> 00:58:29,640
Speaker 1: compared to that. So I'm really glad that you instead
