00:00:01,240 --> 00:00:07,360
Speaker 1: The Around the NFL Podcast doesn't read Mark Sessler's articles.

2
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:11,680
Speaker 1: Welcome back to another edition Around the NFL Podcast. My

3
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:15,200
Speaker 1: name is Dan Hansas, and I'm joined by a stadium

00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:21,120
Speaker 1: filled with heroes. Mark Sessler, Chris Westling, Greg ro and

5
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:27,280
Speaker 1: Connor or what off eyes? Jeez, what is happening? We

6
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:31,319
Speaker 1: are standing for the second consecutive year in the press box,

7
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 1: the NFL media press box after Super Bowl Sunday, looking

8
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:39,199
Speaker 1: down on a confetti drenched field. And they really by

9
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:43,279
Speaker 1: the way up there, confetti game added some streamers, some tinsel.

10
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,879
Speaker 1: Great work by the confetti folk. Greg in his right hand,

11
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:48,600
Speaker 1: he just took it out of his pocket like a

12
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,920
Speaker 1: whimsical child has his own confetti got from the field.

13
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 1: And why not because the New England Patriots are back

14
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 1: at the top of the mountain, the throne of ease,

15
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 1: the top of the mountain, Greg super Bowl champions after

16
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:07,319
Speaker 1: over the Seattle Seahawks and one of the greatest Super

17
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 1: Bowls of all time. Nothing easy a boy, this, I

18
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:16,039
Speaker 1: mean Tom Tom Brady down two scores in the fourth

19
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 1: quarter against the best secondary that we've seen in a

20
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 1: long time. For him to direct two straight touchdown drives

21
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:28,120
Speaker 1: like that to win the game, and then finally for

22
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:30,680
Speaker 1: the defense this time to pull it off. I don't know,

23
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 1: it's almost like you couldn't You couldn't write that any better.

24
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 1: I think when you factor in the ridiculous curse catch,

25
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 1: how well the Patriots defensive facts played on that entire drive,

26
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 1: and then the final player of the game to me,

27
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 1: the greatest super Bowl I've ever seen? Wait did you say, hey, Dan,

28
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 1: greatest super Bowl? Alright, let's go around the room real quick. Mark,

29
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 1: how are you, buddy? You're a little worried about your

30
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 1: energy level before the show started. You seem like it's

31
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,559
Speaker 1: coming back. The color is coming back in the face.

32
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 1: That's your concerning You know, the Patriots winning a fourth

33
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 1: super Bowl is big, and that's interesting. But I think

34
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 1: we've now reached what is the end breaking point for

35
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 1: Mark Sessler, and we just we found it in the

36
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 1: last fifteen minutes. If anyone witnessed, we have reached the

37
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:18,359
Speaker 1: end of Sessler. I'm not sure where you're going with that,

38
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 1: you know, listen, I will just say that you're asking,

39
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 1: is this the greatest super Bowl? And that's what I

40
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 1: was trying to get at, hands down, absolutely, because the

41
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 1: boll for us. You've got to go with anyone that

42
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 1: you've been to in person has a particular charm, and

43
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 1: this had everything you could ask for. Connor, your thoughts

44
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 1: Absolutely the best one, boy, Absolutely the best one I've

45
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 1: seen in person. Wait, wait a second, just somebody understands

46
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 1: what's going on up here. We are still we are

47
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 1: not a high end operation yet. I'm holding the type

48
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 1: of mics that were used when Lady Die and Prince

49
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 1: Charles got married to stick Mike, and Greg is sharing

50
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: one with Connor, so he's holding it in Connor. He

51
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 1: looks like a you know, Chuck Woolery right now. And

52
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:04,799
Speaker 1: then West and Gray, West and Mark have lob Mike,

53
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 1: so they're click clipped onto their handsome ties. So you

54
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 1: guys look kind of professional, but like we we take

55
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 1: it back a couple of decades on the other side

56
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 1: of TV. Sitting in between us right now, say Hi, TD,

57
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 1: what's going on? Gus? I know a lot of people.

58
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 1: I was impressed, really missed t D on the last podcast.

59
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 1: That shows how much the viewers the listeners really love you.

60
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 1: I hope everyone checked out. The actual video was a

61
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,239
Speaker 1: fun time and it was a good time. Let's let's

62
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 1: get this podcast by the way. Okay, everyone, everyone always

63
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 1: wants to say the greatest super Bowl of all time

64
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 1: right away, and I think it probably would. I don't know. Okay,

65
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 1: you're talking about in addition to the back and forth

66
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 1: of two great quarterbacks, right one of the best defense

67
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: we've seen in at least fifteen years, and possibly the

68
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 1: best past defense we've ever seen. You've got bellow Chick

69
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 1: and Brady going for their sixth, for their fourth title

70
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 1: in their sixth Super Bowl, and you're doing it the

71
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 1: caliber of opponent. You're doing it against the raining super

72
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 1: Bowl chance, against the best defense in the league for

73
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 1: three years running first team like that since the late

74
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 1: six I don't want to hear that the Pots Panthers

75
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 1: game was better. It was no, uh, and I hear

76
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 1: you and I agree. And even going into it, I

77
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 1: just thought, this is one of those super bowls you

78
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 1: remember every super Bowl, but some you remember in history

79
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 1: more than others. To have these two teams face off

80
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,359
Speaker 1: at this point in time was amazing. And for the

81
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 1: game to live up to every possible expectation and more,

82
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:33,280
Speaker 1: for the Patriots to dominate early but not really take

83
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 1: advantage of it, and then the Seahawks to score twenty

84
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 1: four points in under thirteen minutes. It was it was

85
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,160
Speaker 1: seven to nothing with two and a half minutes left

86
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 1: in the first quarter, and then it's the middle of

87
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,159
Speaker 1: the third quarter and people think at that point that

88
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 1: the game is over, that the Patriots are down ten

89
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,720
Speaker 1: and everything is going wrong for them. Not only that,

90
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 1: but then you're left with like this lingering what if

91
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 1: mystery of like the call that will kind of define

92
00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. But we'll always make it kind of

93
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 1: a great discussion point. Yeah, let's go through that sequence

94
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 1: because that's what However, there will be two things in

95
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 1: the upcoming week. I think that we'll be talked about.

96
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:09,720
Speaker 1: There'll be Tom Brady and and a lot of discussion

97
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 1: about him now being seen as the greatest ever after

98
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 1: getting the fourth ring. And then the other big conversation

99
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,280
Speaker 1: will be how the Sea Hawks blew it and how

100
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 1: they got so close to stealing a repeat at the

101
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,279
Speaker 1: end of the game. So we had first, after the

102
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 1: Pats take the lead, they go up, the Seahawks get

103
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:31,600
Speaker 1: to midfield almost immediately thirty yard passed. The marsh On

104
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 1: Lynch against Jamie Collins was like a beautiful Russell Wilson

105
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 1: played so well in the game up until that last pass, right,

106
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:41,280
Speaker 1: So then Russell Wilson drops back to pass from midfield,

107
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 1: puts it down the sideline inside the ten yard line,

108
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 1: where Malcolm Butler, a little known at least until today,

109
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 1: defensive back jumps up, knocks the ball away, or thinks

110
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,600
Speaker 1: he does knocks it away from Jermaine Curse. But somehow

111
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:59,160
Speaker 1: we have a catch two scenario, David Tyree scenario where

112
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 1: somehow the ball bobbles around like Antonio Freeman and Curse

113
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 1: catches it on his back in one of the most

114
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 1: stunning plays in Super Bowl history. And Greg I was

115
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 1: on the other side of the press box. I couldn't

116
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,599
Speaker 1: really see your reaction, but you had to be you know,

117
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 1: he was at a nine and nine eight on the

118
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 1: scale was high. I did immediately say, like, people are

119
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 1: going to remember that play for fifty years. That's one

120
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:25,360
Speaker 1: of the best players in Super Bowl Hittory anyway, and

121
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 1: I said, I did say immediately, well, only if the

122
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 1: Seahawks score a touchdown. So I wasn't giving up at

123
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 1: that moment yet, but I did think back to the

124
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 1: last time I was in Phoenix, was to which to

125
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 1: watch the Patriots try to finish off the Super Bowl season,

126
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,039
Speaker 1: and Randy Moss caught a touchdown with about two and

127
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 1: a half minutes left, very similar to this game when

128
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 1: Edelman caught it, and I thought, this is to go

129
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,159
Speaker 1: up for. This is the exact same scenario that happened

130
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 1: last time. And I'm not the only one thinking this.

131
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 1: After the game, you know, they asked Tom Brady about it.

132
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 1: He said, these plays have gone against us. They said

133
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 1: to Belichick, have you ever seen a play like this?

134
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 1: And he's like, he said, yeah, I've seen two of them,

135
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 1: arial Man in Hammond and the Tyree play. So then

136
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:06,720
Speaker 1: they run it with Lynch. He gets, I believe, about

137
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 1: five yards to get it down inside the two or

138
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 1: maybe even the one, and then that will be talked

139
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 1: about Mark Sessler forever. On second down from the one

140
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 1: yard line, less than a minute to play, on a

141
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 1: team that has Marshawn Lynch arguably or maybe not even

142
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 1: arguably the best goal line back in football, they call

143
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 1: pass play intercepted by the same guy that was covering

144
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 1: Jermaine Curtis Malcolm Butler, and the game is suddenly over

145
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 1: and the Patriots voice, oh my goodness. I mean obviously

146
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 1: right away on Twitter, which is exploding calling it the

147
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 1: worst play call of all time. You know, five times

148
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 1: this year Lynch ran from the one yard line, one touchdown,

149
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 1: two for zero, and two for a loss. At the

150
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 1: same time they made the past No one who would

151
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 1: be saying this my voice is going, by the way,

152
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 1: this is what happens when, uh, Greg, you send an

153
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 1: almost thirty five year old dad and a forty year

154
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 1: old dad to multiple parties. Well, you were on the

155
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 1: party be and you did a great job. If anyone

156
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 1: hasn't checked out the Super Bowl Experience blog, please do.

157
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 1: Mark was really on a self appointed party. I didn't

158
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 1: see him right about it anything, but I think he

159
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 1: really dominated the party scene, probably more than anyone in

160
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 1: the entire the entire set, and needed someone to bounce

161
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:33,440
Speaker 1: ideas off with, especially at the light party. That was

162
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 1: a good part. I don't think anybody would make the

163
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 1: argument that Marshawn Lunch is not a good tackle breaking

164
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:42,080
Speaker 1: goal lineback, even if the one yard status are crazy.

165
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 1: We saw him score earlier in the game, breaking tackles

166
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:46,559
Speaker 1: and bust. He just had a five yard run on

167
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 1: the play before we all agree you gave the Baltimore.

168
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 1: So at that point in the game, they had a

169
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:51,719
Speaker 1: ninety I don't know what it would be, but it

170
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 1: would be like a ninety percent chance to win a game.

171
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 1: It's a shame. It overshadowed what Pete Carroll did to

172
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 1: close out the first half when a lot of coaches

173
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:01,440
Speaker 1: would have taken in and they go down the field

174
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 1: and sports seconds, they score a touchdown and he opts

175
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:07,559
Speaker 1: to go for a touchdown with six seconds left instead

176
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 1: of kicking the field. Well, two aggressive aggressive, high reward

177
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 1: play calls. The high reward play call on second and

178
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 1: one was to hand the ball to the time. They

179
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 1: had just blown a time out, and I wonder if

180
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 1: that came into their thinking and that was a bad

181
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 1: time out to blow uh down the field there, but

182
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:26,719
Speaker 1: they still did have one time out. And Bevel, the

183
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator Daryl Bevil, talked after the game and and

184
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 1: it sounded like the clock was a factor because he thought, well,

185
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 1: if we don't get this play, it kills the clock.

186
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:37,200
Speaker 1: We still have two plays left and we can run it,

187
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 1: you know, one or both of those plays. So definitely

188
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:45,200
Speaker 1: over lynch from the first play. They talked all week

189
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 1: or We're gonna gang tackle Marshall Lench. It's like, that's fine,

190
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 1: you know what, That's what every team said all year long,

191
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,320
Speaker 1: and it's not happening. They really got five six guys

192
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 1: on him and shut them down early. Marshall Lynch was

193
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:57,440
Speaker 1: not a factor. You know, he's gonna climb back in.

194
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,599
Speaker 1: But the Patriots took care of business and what I

195
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 1: thought would be the matchup that would reckon. He had

196
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 1: over a hundred yards and was dominant in the second half.

197
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 1: In the second half early on, I'm saying they can't.

198
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 1: They were. They went into the halftime still in the

199
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 1: game because of what they did. It was an up

200
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:13,079
Speaker 1: and down performance for Lynch because there was a key

201
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:14,719
Speaker 1: spot where they had the lead in the second half

202
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 1: and it was second in three and they run the

203
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,440
Speaker 1: ball two straight times. He gets two yards and then

204
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:22,439
Speaker 1: he loses yardage. And so if Lynch could have just

205
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 1: delivered in that third one scenario, you know, maybe they

206
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 1: have a bigger lead. I got an interesting text from

207
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 1: someone in the league after the game that just said,

208
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:33,079
Speaker 1: how about your twenty million dollar future quarterback doesn't throw

209
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:35,679
Speaker 1: a pick on the one yard line. I mean, like seriously,

210
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:37,719
Speaker 1: I mean if you can freeze frame it. At a

211
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 1: certain point, you can see Malcolm Butler about to jump

212
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 1: the route. I mean, so I'm not putting this on

213
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,319
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson's shoulders, But how about you just how you

214
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 1: just sky that went over his head and run the

215
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,320
Speaker 1: ball in the next And it is funny how in

216
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:54,080
Speaker 1: this game, how legacies are how are born because it

217
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 1: takes luck too, Because I always go back to as

218
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 1: one of our mike is almost falls to the ground,

219
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 1: Um saghetto operation, but Ted, You're doing a great job.

220
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:08,960
Speaker 1: Not your fault. We need more t tds out here.

221
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 1: We're we're hitting midnight by the way, right now, boys

222
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 1: in Phoenix. That means it's two back on the East Coast.

223
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 1: We're gonna be having a good old time tonight. So yeah.

224
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 1: So my point is I always go back to Super

225
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:24,079
Speaker 1: Bowl twenty three and the San Francisco forty Niners and

226
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals when Joe Montana throw nearly throws a fourth

227
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:34,720
Speaker 1: quarter interception to west Yes third En Billups that gets

228
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 1: dropped in the end zone, or it could have been

229
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:38,839
Speaker 1: a pick six, gets dropped, and then he goes on.

230
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:41,200
Speaker 1: Montana wins the game. Later on the past of John Teller.

231
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 1: No one remembers that Joe Matzan almost threw or basically

232
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 1: threw away Super Bowl because he got lucky. Russell Wilson

233
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 1: could have got lucky too if some no name a

234
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:52,560
Speaker 1: defensive back drops that throw. But he didn't drop it.

235
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 1: And sometimes that's when luck comes up and you have

236
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 1: to give him. You have to give Butler credit for

237
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 1: making an outstanding player. Reminded me a lot of the

238
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:03,080
Speaker 1: Bobby Wagner interception on Brady from earlier. It was a

239
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,200
Speaker 1: really it was a bad throw and a bad decision,

240
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 1: but you had to make the perfect play to pull

241
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 1: it off, and Butler did that, like going hard and

242
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 1: aggressive after it. Bevil kind of through lock it under

243
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:16,200
Speaker 1: the bus after the game and said he didn't you know,

244
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 1: he could have been a little stronger going to the ball.

245
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,560
Speaker 1: It also gets you thinking it's crazy, and I think

246
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick is is smart enough to know this, Like

247
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 1: we're just letting Greg just tonight and we're not going

248
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:33,119
Speaker 1: to give a hard time. Isn't it weird? Though Belichick,

249
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 1: for everything Belichick does, he is aware that these Super

250
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:42,079
Speaker 1: Bowl championships come down to Butler versus locket isn't that bizarre?

251
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:45,960
Speaker 1: And like just an idea, what if we all put

252
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:47,720
Speaker 1: down our mics and when it got on the bus

253
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 1: and then leg just one thing we've come this for

254
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:54,080
Speaker 1: and barely talked about the fact that, you know, Wilson

255
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 1: had interception. Brady overcame two killer interceptions in this game,

256
00:12:57,679 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 1: and down the locker room, all players were saying was

257
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 1: we never for one second panic then, because just like

258
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 1: with Joe Montana staring up at John Candy in the

259
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 1: stands before the orchestrates that drive, Brady is the same way.

260
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 1: They were like, well, I said, what do you think

261
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 1: to Sebastian Bomber of the pick. He's like, oh, we

262
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,559
Speaker 1: don't even cat And it's like from Germany, some guy,

263
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:17,839
Speaker 1: some guy from Germany. But he's like, he's like, we

264
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:19,599
Speaker 1: don't even think about it. I want to hear the

265
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 1: impression if you're going to be doing it. It was well,

266
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 1: they went on trying to interview the guy goes off

267
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 1: and said, I'm a thin man from Germany. I like

268
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:28,680
Speaker 1: that They kept me. It's like, well, all right, let's

269
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 1: get back on the topic of the game here. So

270
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 1: but if you're going to talk about luck and how

271
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:38,080
Speaker 1: it worked for the Patriots, and you talk about legacy.

272
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:41,200
Speaker 1: If not for Asante, Samuel and Westwalker drops Brady would

273
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 1: have six super Bowls. Yeah, that's very true. He is

274
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 1: getting to six and you're gonna win a bun well,

275
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 1: and that is I guess we should definitely talk about

276
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 1: Brady a little bit more now because he threw the

277
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 1: two interceptions. They were both bad picks, especially the first one,

278
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 1: which was like where is this game going? By the way,

279
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 1: I just I don't want to get sidetrack, but show

280
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 1: of hands, which is a very good device for a podcast.

281
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 1: Who thought that game was over teen with the Seahawks

282
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:10,200
Speaker 1: even the ball, Yeah, because of the way four out

283
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:11,720
Speaker 1: of five or three out of the five of us

284
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:14,840
Speaker 1: and I did not, So I mean I thought this

285
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 1: game was over. I thought this thing was gonna be

286
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 1: And that's really a testament again to Brady and and honestly,

287
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 1: guys like Connor, I'll ask you, does this to you

288
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 1: make Brady the best ever it has to write? I mean,

289
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 1: you know, just the way, especially after the way, like

290
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 1: Mark was saying, all the players just had an absolute

291
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 1: certainty that he was going to come back from this,

292
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:39,920
Speaker 1: and especially as as ugly as that first interception wasn't

293
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 1: it just totally didn't phaze him. And that whole game

294
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 1: plan was predicated on his ability to hit short, accurate passes,

295
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 1: and he was able to do it against the best

296
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 1: secondary and football consistently through the last three quarters. They

297
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 1: didn't have a play over twenty four yards. I mean

298
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 1: the Seahawks had about five, five or six plays that big.

299
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 1: It was all short, you know, dink and dunk. But

300
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 1: when I think of what Brady did well in this game,

301
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 1: I'll think of the third and thirteen in the third

302
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 1: quarter when they're down by ten points and he climbs

303
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 1: the pocket and he throws it to Edelman. A couple

304
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 1: of plays. A couple of plays later, it's third and eight.

305
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 1: I think it goes to Gronk or Amndola and he

306
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 1: gets another third down where where he climbs the pocket,

307
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 1: and that's where the game started to turn around. I

308
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 1: think these Montana Brady debates there, they're gonna be hotly

309
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 1: contested in sports bars and talk radio. The Wesley Household,

310
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 1: NFL dot com. You wrote a piece already, it's up

311
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 1: on the website, and I don't think these things ever

312
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 1: have definitive answers, unless you're like Michael Jordan's. But one

313
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:40,200
Speaker 1: thing I don't want to hear from Joe montana apologist

314
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 1: is that he's four oh and Brady is four and two.

315
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 1: That give Montana the edge. That makes no sense whatsoever.

316
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 1: So you're saying it's better to lose individual round in

317
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 1: championship game rounds, then it's better. It's better for Joe

318
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 1: mont his career. They got picked off in the Giants

319
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 1: at home CD. I just realized why you're so slumped

320
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 1: in your chair. Russell Wilson is your boy, the boy.

321
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 1: There's a state, a mansion of boy for t D

322
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 1: it is Russell Wilson. And this was a damning moment

323
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 1: in the young quarterbacks career. He will be the highest

324
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 1: paid quarterback in the league in a few months or

325
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 1: maybe a few weeks. But still crushing for your boy. Yeah,

326
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 1: this one, this one sticks with you the rest of

327
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 1: your career, you know. I mean, for a guy who's

328
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 1: known for it sticks to you for the rest of

329
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 1: your That's how it feels, right, you know. That's for

330
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 1: a guy who throws a sexy deep ball. You threw

331
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 1: a clumsy short slant and uh, clumsy short ball, I guess,

332
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 1: and you know, it's it's tough, it's tough to deal with,

333
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:40,040
Speaker 1: but you know next season. He he finishes though, with

334
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 1: eleven point eight yards per attempt. If he when he

335
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 1: threw that ball, he said he thought the game was over.

336
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 1: They won, And I'm just saying, like, up until that point,

337
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 1: he had an almost perfect game, a much better game

338
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 1: than Brady. Those deep balls. As a Patriots fan, I

339
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 1: kept just seeing them up there and it's one on one,

340
00:16:57,560 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 1: and I just started assuming that the Seahawks are gonna

341
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 1: come on with it every time. I mean, it was

342
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 1: like we were deep into the second quarter and Russell

343
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 1: Wilson was over two at that point. Brady had about

344
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:11,240
Speaker 1: twenty attempts and he finished with a NFL record high

345
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 1: what third or seven, and he owns the touchdown touchdown

346
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:17,480
Speaker 1: record in the in the Super Bowl as well. I

347
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:21,240
Speaker 1: just think that, you know, forget Russell Wilson. He'll be back.

348
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:24,200
Speaker 1: He's young, He's gonna play for another decade. This may

349
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 1: be the last time we get to see Belichick and

350
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:28,359
Speaker 1: Brady together in this kind of a game. But at

351
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:30,479
Speaker 1: the same time, with the way he is, I wouldn't

352
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 1: be shocked if they're back two more times before he

353
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 1: goes out, and that's another not small factor in the legacy.

354
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:38,880
Speaker 1: Questioned that Brady and Belichick have a chance to come

355
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 1: back here and defend this again to add more to

356
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 1: their legacies. They're already the best quarter. Well, yeah, I

357
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:49,360
Speaker 1: mean I've said it to you before. Greg, I've I've

358
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:52,440
Speaker 1: always I've always put Jeter and Brady together. And this

359
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:55,120
Speaker 1: is very much like the two thousand nine Yankee World

360
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:57,679
Speaker 1: Series where Jeter had a ton of success early in

361
00:17:57,680 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 1: his career and then went through a long period of

362
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:01,639
Speaker 1: good teams that never got over the hub, and then

363
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:03,399
Speaker 1: they got one more shot late in his career and

364
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:05,679
Speaker 1: he got it. This is your two thousand nine Yankee season,

365
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 1: Boston and New York connected, Buddy, what just happened? We

366
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,920
Speaker 1: just sucked there data for a minute, right, is one

367
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:14,880
Speaker 1: of the best of all time and not No, I'm

368
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:17,920
Speaker 1: just some people are more cultured and multiple sports strong

369
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:21,119
Speaker 1: parallel there. Well, I do think there is something to

370
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:23,400
Speaker 1: the fact why I really think it didn't mean more

371
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:27,879
Speaker 1: to Brady to Belichick, to Craft to be knocking on

372
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 1: the door for ten years. It's been you know, when

373
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:32,480
Speaker 1: they left in two thousand four. You would have thought

374
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:36,359
Speaker 1: Brady would have had another Super Bowl by now, especially

375
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:38,760
Speaker 1: considering they've been back to two, They've been back to

376
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:41,200
Speaker 1: three a f C championship games that they lost to

377
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:45,040
Speaker 1: four straight by so to just be that close each

378
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:47,399
Speaker 1: and every time and be one yard away from losing

379
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 1: it again, it just it's insane. And how about the

380
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:53,680
Speaker 1: shorter history of the past two weeks where they've been villainized.

381
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:55,440
Speaker 1: One thing I'll never forget from today, which I'm not

382
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 1: sure you would have picked up at home watching television,

383
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 1: is that when they're flashing around very characters, players and

384
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:04,200
Speaker 1: coaches through the national anthem, you know, at a time

385
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:06,439
Speaker 1: when you're so let's be serene and let's celebrate the

386
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 1: country and so forth, they showed Belichick and it's like

387
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:14,679
Speaker 1: Darth Vader just showed up on the street. This was

388
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:18,719
Speaker 1: a Seahawks heavy crowd, and that Patriots I saw edeln

389
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,679
Speaker 1: after that just dancing around because he was They loved it.

390
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:23,880
Speaker 1: I thought it juice them up. Just like Greg Zedawood,

391
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 1: I totally right. I think it was like it was

392
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 1: like not a nine to one ratio. It was insane.

393
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 1: I mean it was it was like century linking. By

394
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 1: the way, I don't think it's fair that I can't

395
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:37,119
Speaker 1: make a Jeter parallel makes Michael Jordan o dB parallels.

396
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 1: Come on, we're just gonna pick it. That's not nice.

397
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 1: I think it could went a little too far when

398
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 1: you're saying New York and Boston together here just won

399
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:50,199
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl for the Patriots. That cut me some

400
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:54,400
Speaker 1: slack here. And by the way, speaking of legacies, everybody's

401
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 1: got a calm down now a little bit about the

402
00:19:56,280 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 1: Seahawks defense, because fourteen in the fourth quarter, or make

403
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:03,679
Speaker 1: a stop? Will you see Hucks defense make a stop

404
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 1: at least told them to a field goal at the

405
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:09,639
Speaker 1: end there giving up the two touchdowns Theots secondary. I

406
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:12,240
Speaker 1: think that will that will stick to that team. And

407
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:14,119
Speaker 1: Michael Bennan after the game, who will get to a

408
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:16,879
Speaker 1: little later and more depth. But Michael Betton after the

409
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 1: game says, this game doesn't define her legacy. I'm sorry,

410
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:21,400
Speaker 1: this plays a partner a legacy. If you're the best

411
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 1: defense of your era, as Bennett sent a couple of

412
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:26,119
Speaker 1: weeks back, and you get burned in this spot and

413
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:29,359
Speaker 1: cost your team Lombardi Trophy, you're not the Five Bears

414
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 1: and you're not the two thousand Ravens takes seven Bears

415
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:40,119
Speaker 1: said injuries were a factor. They stopped getting as much

416
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:42,280
Speaker 1: of a pass rush once Cliff Cliff Abro went out

417
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 1: with a concussion. Uh Jeremy Lane left early in the game,

418
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:48,600
Speaker 1: that ary slot cornerback, and Harold Simon was picked on

419
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:53,040
Speaker 1: un arm In the Patriots, they used way more three

420
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 1: and four wide receiver sets than we've seen in other games.

421
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 1: I think had a big game the Boys. Steve Smith

422
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:05,000
Speaker 1: wasn't that much of a factor in the offense late

423
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 1: in the season until the playoffs started, and then they

424
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:11,359
Speaker 1: started using more. And I'm sitting between Westling and Gregg

425
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:12,960
Speaker 1: in this game, by the way, so I'm dealing a

426
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 1: with the fact that amun Dola turned that horse around

427
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 1: and started to trot his way back. Westling stable of

428
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:22,119
Speaker 1: boys quest is up pump fisting about him and went

429
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 1: but you were like, hey, but don't looking fast. But

430
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:26,720
Speaker 1: on the other side you got Greg and I wanted

431
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 1: to watch. This was the biggest game Patriots game any

432
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:33,879
Speaker 1: Nothing has come close. And when all the times we watched,

433
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 1: Gregg watched this team win and lose, I want to say,

434
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 1: when it really look like they're gonna lose. I thought

435
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:40,119
Speaker 1: we're gonna get a melt down scenario, and Greg's starting

436
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 1: to hand out assignments and say they're all gonna be

437
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 1: working without a vacation. But he was. He was level headed,

438
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 1: just like built a time machine. And we're all covering

439
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 1: honors over and over again. Like everyone's gonna blame it

440
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 1: on the Seahawks defense, and you're right, but you don't

441
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:57,919
Speaker 1: blow a lead like that in the fourth quarter unless

442
00:21:57,920 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 1: both sides of the ball are doing it because blaming

443
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:03,720
Speaker 1: their defense. But I guess my point is the Seahawks

444
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:06,960
Speaker 1: defense did make a couple of stops after they went

445
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:11,119
Speaker 1: up ten points. So at that point the Seahawks they

446
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:14,159
Speaker 1: picked up a big first out on their first play, uh,

447
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:16,479
Speaker 1: and then they go three and out. And they had

448
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:20,600
Speaker 1: that long throw to Jermaine Curse. And we can debate

449
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 1: whether Curse dropped the ball or whether Malcolm Butler, who

450
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:27,199
Speaker 1: played a very good game, made a good play on

451
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 1: the ball and prevented him from catching it. But if

452
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:32,200
Speaker 1: Jermaine Curse caught that ball, I think the game is over.

453
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:34,960
Speaker 1: Then I was thinking they're gonna come back the whole time,

454
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:37,200
Speaker 1: and the offense couldn't move the ball. That they had

455
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 1: a four and out, a three and out, and a

456
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 1: three and out in a row before their last Seahawks drive.

457
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:44,680
Speaker 1: So they as much as we're killing them for going

458
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 1: to pass heavy, they kind of went run heavy for

459
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:48,639
Speaker 1: a little bit there. They couldn't quite make the plays

460
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:51,439
Speaker 1: they offense had chances to end this game. It's a

461
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:53,960
Speaker 1: testament to how dramatic the finish was that we have

462
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:57,280
Speaker 1: gone this entire podcast and have not even spoken about

463
00:22:57,320 --> 00:22:59,879
Speaker 1: Katy Perry. What a show. I mean, let's start from

464
00:22:59,880 --> 00:23:03,880
Speaker 1: the first song shouted out, roar, what a song? West?

465
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:07,320
Speaker 1: Your thoughts on that? It was absolutely over the top ridiculous.

466
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:12,359
Speaker 1: When the lion roared, I'm like what I mean? I

467
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 1: let out It was a sorry belly laugh because it

468
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:16,680
Speaker 1: was just so absurd. Another thing that was great to

469
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:19,719
Speaker 1: sit next to Wets watching this metallic, golden like space

470
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:21,879
Speaker 1: age lion roll in. I want t d s thoughts

471
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:25,159
Speaker 1: on this TD and is that really what West was

472
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:29,840
Speaker 1: going to bring up? K We're gonna talk about real quick.

473
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 1: T d are pop expert Kay Parry was a great,

474
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 1: really great set, however, extremely random that she was essentially

475
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 1: Missy Elliotts hype man for like three minutes that did

476
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:41,919
Speaker 1: extend a little too long. Connor your thoughts, little light

477
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 1: on Lenny Kravitz, I would have liked to have heard

478
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:45,440
Speaker 1: like a couple of bars of are you gonna go

479
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:46,720
Speaker 1: on my way? If we're gonna drag them all the

480
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:48,720
Speaker 1: way out here? Well, by the way, on Friday at

481
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:50,720
Speaker 1: Radio Row, I went up to his handler and asked

482
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:53,160
Speaker 1: for two minutes with Lenny Kravitz again by the way

483
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:55,679
Speaker 1: in two thousand fifteen, and I got a hand in

484
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:58,920
Speaker 1: my face and said, no way. Little light on Lenny

485
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 1: Kravitz is something ones ever said? All right, So that

486
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:05,400
Speaker 1: that concludes our Katie Perry halftime review, four stars out

487
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 1: of five West your point, how have we gotten this

488
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:10,679
Speaker 1: far in the podcast? We haven't even talked about the

489
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 1: guy who was going to be the m v P.

490
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:14,879
Speaker 1: The m v P of the game from out of

491
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:17,119
Speaker 1: Nowhere had never caught a path in his NFL career

492
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:19,639
Speaker 1: until the end of until that bazarre end of the

493
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 1: game scenario. Chris Matthews, basically, when the whole Seahawks team

494
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:27,160
Speaker 1: was inept for a quarter and a half, put put

495
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:29,480
Speaker 1: them on his back, made three plays that led to

496
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:32,400
Speaker 1: seven team points and turned the entire game around, I think,

497
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 1: then turn around and hosted about it. Was like the

498
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 1: newspaper reporters that were on deadline that had started their

499
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:40,840
Speaker 1: Chris Matthews stories and had finished for the first edition,

500
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:43,359
Speaker 1: so like they were still asking like how great it

501
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 1: was for Chris Matthews and everyone's like, well, it doesn't

502
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 1: really matter. That was like it was the same thing

503
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:52,680
Speaker 1: when I was downstairs in the podium area and uh,

504
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:55,919
Speaker 1: Malcolm Butler was still wearing his jersey and pads and

505
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:58,679
Speaker 1: while he's sitting at the riser. Then one one journal

506
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:00,919
Speaker 1: started to really like I've in on that, and he

507
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 1: was like, hey, man, I noticed you're still wearing your

508
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:06,119
Speaker 1: your pads. Is it because you don't want to take

509
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 1: them off? And he was like, no, not really, I

510
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 1: just I haven't taken him off yet. Yeah, but it's

511
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 1: part of the reason. Maybe you haven't taken him up

512
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 1: because this moment is so special for you. And he

513
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 1: was like, no, not really, er no, trying to force

514
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 1: the angle over under on the Butler did it headlines?

515
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:25,879
Speaker 1: Oh no, Oh, We'll ask our newspaper consulting. Connor Or,

516
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 1: formerly the Beatman of the Star Ledger the Daily News

517
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:31,160
Speaker 1: one with balls of Steel, which I thought was good.

518
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:35,320
Speaker 1: That's like multiple layers there on. One of the keys

519
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 1: I thought in turning around for the Patriots was when

520
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:43,400
Speaker 1: they took their small cornerbacks off of your boy Chris Wallace,

521
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:46,920
Speaker 1: that Matthews. I keep wanting to call him Chris Wallace,

522
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:49,320
Speaker 1: like b I G. I mean, this guy came. He

523
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 1: never had a catch before this game, which is outrageous.

524
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:54,360
Speaker 1: He looked like like a J. Green today, Like, I'm

525
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:56,720
Speaker 1: convinced he's gonna be good. Just based off this game,

526
00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 1: he looks better than any I kind of blame the

527
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 1: Seahawks for never playing him before this because he looked

528
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:04,240
Speaker 1: more physically talented than than the rest of their guys.

529
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:07,400
Speaker 1: He was resigned in mid November. I don't know how

530
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:10,240
Speaker 1: well he knew the offense or had Russell Wilson's trust.

531
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:12,879
Speaker 1: I'm guessing that's part of it. But I think you

532
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:14,840
Speaker 1: have to give their coaches they have credit for seeing

533
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 1: what he's going in practice and saying in the biggest

534
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:18,639
Speaker 1: game of the year, we're gonna make this guy a

535
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:20,919
Speaker 1: key part of our office. So Brandon Browner in the

536
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 1: locker room told the story of how he went up

537
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:27,679
Speaker 1: to his safety's coach after the game, uh during the

538
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:29,920
Speaker 1: game rather after halftime, and said, I want to cover

539
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:33,080
Speaker 1: this guy. You know, these guys are too short. They

540
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 1: didn't listen to him, they didn't put him on. They

541
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:37,119
Speaker 1: gave up the forty five yard play to start the

542
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:39,119
Speaker 1: third quarter. And then they finally listened to him, and

543
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:41,119
Speaker 1: he said he was begging them, let me put him on.

544
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:44,040
Speaker 1: And the officials really let Browner and those guys play,

545
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:47,440
Speaker 1: and I think that helped, you know, it was big.

546
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:50,440
Speaker 1: Later in the game, Connor is on the beat and

547
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 1: he's checking Twitter and he's got some breaking news from

548
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 1: Golden Tates twitter feed. He says, if I'm Marshawn, I'm livid.

549
00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:00,280
Speaker 1: So that says this slinging a little. Uh. Well, they

550
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:02,919
Speaker 1: talked about, Yeah, they talked about you know. The NFL

551
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:05,960
Speaker 1: network broadcast said that they walked past, you know, a

552
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:08,960
Speaker 1: handful of Seahawks players and overheard a similar thing that

553
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:13,400
Speaker 1: they were Yeah, Ferrold Simon, it probably wasn't the guy

554
00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:17,680
Speaker 1: to be questioning, but he was. He was very aggressive

555
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:19,600
Speaker 1: about I have no idea why they did. Isn't that

556
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:22,400
Speaker 1: exactly what caused the issues in Seattle midseason when they

557
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:24,480
Speaker 1: you know, before and after the Harvard trade is like,

558
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:26,760
Speaker 1: now you're in that moment. Are you gonna give it

559
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 1: to the guy that everyone wanted to give it to

560
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:30,280
Speaker 1: all season long and they don't. Oh, I thought you

561
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:31,880
Speaker 1: were going to go somewhere else with that. I thought

562
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:34,679
Speaker 1: you were saying, now you're seeing some cracks in the

563
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 1: armor and maybe dissension in the ranks. It tears apart

564
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:41,679
Speaker 1: the Seahawks little run here the joy and voice. Right,

565
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:45,520
Speaker 1: what a moment this is for Greg. Well, let's talk

566
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:48,600
Speaker 1: out stories from the locker room. Tells from the locker room. Mark.

567
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:50,680
Speaker 1: We start with you give us one interesting thing you saw.

568
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:53,360
Speaker 1: It was just, you know, Tom Brady coming in, he's

569
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:56,280
Speaker 1: not talking to anyone but having you know, the first

570
00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:58,440
Speaker 1: Super Bowl we covered in when it was that Giants

571
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:02,800
Speaker 1: uh win over the Page Triots, Brady absolutely devastated in

572
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:05,400
Speaker 1: that locker room and the look on his face. I'll

573
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:07,000
Speaker 1: never forget. That was the first time I've done that.

574
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:09,639
Speaker 1: After Super Bowl today just seemed like a guy at peace.

575
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 1: It was really kind of a Michael Jordan's wins his

576
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:15,280
Speaker 1: multiple title thing, where it's pretty cemented who he is.

577
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:16,720
Speaker 1: It's a nice way to close the book on his

578
00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:20,399
Speaker 1: career when he retires in a week. You wish we

579
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:22,760
Speaker 1: gotta hear, uh titty, what do you got? No, it's

580
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:26,640
Speaker 1: going back to on the tweet from what's his name?

581
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:29,640
Speaker 1: Why does Connor always get his last name mentioned? By

582
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:32,000
Speaker 1: the way, that's one of those guys. He's the last name,

583
00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:35,880
Speaker 1: first name. Tondy Rice also obviously read tweets out second

584
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:37,639
Speaker 1: and goal from the one yard line one time on

585
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 1: in beastboad in the backfield. I would not have thrown

586
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 1: that ball to Jerry Rice hashtag fail. So the second

587
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:47,120
Speaker 1: guessing Ry Rice isn't even on the team old he

588
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:50,080
Speaker 1: had a stand with the Seahawks to dink. Michael Bennett

589
00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:51,600
Speaker 1: also said when I talked to him, and that's another

590
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:54,480
Speaker 1: tease too. A little later, Uh, someone said that Emmon

591
00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:57,080
Speaker 1: Smith called it the worst play call in history, and

592
00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 1: Bennett Benet's snipe back Mitsmith. Time has passed, it's over. Well,

593
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 1: let's we're talking about scenes from the locker room. I

594
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 1: don't we just hear you're Michael Bennett's story, all right?

595
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 1: So I was talking to Michael Bennett at the Risers.

596
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:12,280
Speaker 1: They have a little not in the locker room. But

597
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:15,200
Speaker 1: then there's a little conference room. I guess that has um.

598
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:18,440
Speaker 1: Everybody basically gets up for their own short amount of time.

599
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:23,920
Speaker 1: And Michael Bennett, who was everybody's favorite player, uh during

600
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:27,480
Speaker 1: media day and all week because of his unique output,

601
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 1: outlook on life and his odd sense of humor, especially

602
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:33,920
Speaker 1: in relation to other players, and for three quarters tonight,

603
00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:37,160
Speaker 1: and he was a great player. I thought he was

604
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:40,440
Speaker 1: in the mix for m v P. So you know,

605
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:43,760
Speaker 1: when he's people are asking him questions, and I would

606
00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 1: say one out of every two questions was met with

607
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 1: some derision from him, where he would insult the reporter

608
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:53,480
Speaker 1: who asked it, saying, oh, the most you've ever lived

609
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:57,080
Speaker 1: in your life is probably a microphone or that recorder

610
00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 1: right there. He called a couple of people's questions stupid.

611
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:01,960
Speaker 1: And then I should have known it was coming, but

612
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 1: I asked it anyway. I asked my question. I said,

613
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:08,000
Speaker 1: what was the feeling on the sideline after that wild

614
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:11,400
Speaker 1: catch by curse was followed almost immediately by that interception?

615
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:14,440
Speaker 1: Was their shock? What was the shock on the sideline? Great?

616
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 1: Not the greatest question in the world, but you know,

617
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:21,120
Speaker 1: get off my back. His response um about his shocked

618
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:24,840
Speaker 1: as your wife when she saw your penis the first time,

619
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:32,520
Speaker 1: and then after a beat because it's small, I was

620
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:35,200
Speaker 1: gonna I'm glad he buttoned it up at the end

621
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:37,800
Speaker 1: there just to be so. I already already wrote a

622
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:40,560
Speaker 1: blog post about it, and I wrote it at the

623
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:42,320
Speaker 1: end of it, like, you know, he took a shot

624
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:44,960
Speaker 1: at my male anatomy, but now I know that Michael Bennetton,

625
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:48,960
Speaker 1: which is ironic, but that was that was quickly pulled

626
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:54,920
Speaker 1: by the exactly like how much of this can we use? Whatever?

627
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:56,560
Speaker 1: You know, we gotta we got one of those that

628
00:30:56,960 --> 00:30:59,240
Speaker 1: it was like fun encounter with Michael Bennett on Super

629
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:01,320
Speaker 1: Bowl Sunday. So you know, I consider that one of

630
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 1: the highlights of my career. But that speaks to the

631
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:07,320
Speaker 1: frustration of Bennett and the entire team and maybe his

632
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:09,400
Speaker 1: two faced nature. Ultimately, what do you got from the

633
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 1: locker room? I was just stunned at kind of the composure,

634
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:15,320
Speaker 1: uh that Pete Carroll showed. I mean, he really had

635
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:19,800
Speaker 1: to come out and explain his reasoning, which was semi complex,

636
00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:21,880
Speaker 1: to a bunch of people that were on deadline and

637
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:24,360
Speaker 1: really just wanted to call him that play called the

638
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:26,600
Speaker 1: worst in history. He not only took the blame, he

639
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:29,480
Speaker 1: explained it several times, and he tried to shield all

640
00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:32,239
Speaker 1: of his coordinators and players, which I thought was you know,

641
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 1: it was crazy to see that the learning tonight that

642
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 1: there is no deadline when you work for an online site,

643
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:39,640
Speaker 1: he said a former newspaper man. He's realizing three of them.

644
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:43,040
Speaker 1: There is a positive by the way it is. It

645
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:45,280
Speaker 1: is a good point, couner that the head coach went

646
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:47,360
Speaker 1: out of his way not to throw anybody under the bus,

647
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:50,920
Speaker 1: and then the O C does it. Yeah, that's not

648
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 1: gonna look so good in head coaching, he said. Lock.

649
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 1: It didn't really fight for the ball that Butler picked off.

650
00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:58,120
Speaker 1: He had no leverage on that play though, I mean

651
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:00,520
Speaker 1: like he I mean his defender was staring from so

652
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:02,120
Speaker 1: far back in the end zone. I mean he got

653
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 1: You saw that photo that we talked about right before

654
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:06,520
Speaker 1: the podcast star, I mean he got leveled. I mean,

655
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 1: I would love to see where he wanted him on

656
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:11,240
Speaker 1: that play. I heard a lot of people saying this

657
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 1: can't be the greatest super Bowl ever because the Seahawks

658
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:15,960
Speaker 1: lost that the Patriots didn't win it, and I think

659
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 1: that's absurd. Butler made the play, and Tom Brady riddled

660
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:25,200
Speaker 1: the best best past defense in football with two epic

661
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:28,040
Speaker 1: fourth quarter draws, and they were crazy. The Patriots definitely

662
00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 1: won that game, and they were inside the ten yard

663
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:31,000
Speaker 1: like maybe they would have got there anywhere, but they

664
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:33,320
Speaker 1: were inside the ten yard line from one of the

665
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 1: flukiest places in animal history. I mean, it's a great play,

666
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:39,760
Speaker 1: but it was insane. But the Patriots defensive three pass

667
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:43,800
Speaker 1: deflections and interception just in that final sectional plays. I

668
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:47,120
Speaker 1: was amazed that in the locker room, how quiet the

669
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 1: Patriots locker into the locker room. I almost wish I

670
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:53,640
Speaker 1: didn't go down because it was so sedate. I talked

671
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:55,480
Speaker 1: with a couple of people afterwards. It was definitely the

672
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:57,720
Speaker 1: most calm Super Bowl locker room. There was still a

673
00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:01,240
Speaker 1: Patriots like, yeah, we're not gonna quite celebrate now while

674
00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:03,960
Speaker 1: the media is here, and really embraced talking to the

675
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:06,160
Speaker 1: media and now we're gonna wait till everyone's and I

676
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 1: get it right, I get it. There were there were

677
00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:11,000
Speaker 1: little moments like people were taking I love seeing that,

678
00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:14,640
Speaker 1: Like the players were taking photos with with the trophy

679
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:17,000
Speaker 1: and Mr Kraft and Robert Kraft and like they were

680
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:23,080
Speaker 1: loving that I call him Mr Craft by the way, Yeah,

681
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:25,920
Speaker 1: I did it really did happen. Listen, he's he's floating

682
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:28,760
Speaker 1: right now. Uh Mark, Both you and I have had

683
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:31,360
Speaker 1: the fortune of being in the winning locker room four

684
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:33,920
Speaker 1: straight years now of these Super Bowl teams, and I've

685
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:35,800
Speaker 1: always been shocked. And I wrote about this in my

686
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:39,600
Speaker 1: blog that the first year, which happened to be the

687
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:41,720
Speaker 1: last time the Patriots in the Super Bowl before today,

688
00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:44,720
Speaker 1: I remember gathering my stuff and thinking, oh man, this

689
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:47,440
Speaker 1: stuff might get champagne on it. Don't know. I was

690
00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 1: so naive and stupid um at the time. But that's

691
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:52,240
Speaker 1: not how these locker rooms ever are. They're almost always

692
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:55,480
Speaker 1: very kind of surprisingly calm. They're not like what you

693
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:58,520
Speaker 1: would see in other sports where there's just a raucus celebration.

694
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:01,640
Speaker 1: And you know, I wrote before that it's it makes sense, though,

695
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:03,640
Speaker 1: the amount of adrenaline that these guys are on when

696
00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:06,760
Speaker 1: the game happens, and the just the monumental nature of

697
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:09,560
Speaker 1: the win. Maybe the locker room is where the guys

698
00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:13,560
Speaker 1: kind of just compressing. If you get yourself that high.

699
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:16,319
Speaker 1: It's not like baseball. You're getting yourself to a much

700
00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:18,799
Speaker 1: higher peak of adrenaline in football, you need time. Well,

701
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:21,960
Speaker 1: plus it's weird because we're all there. Yeah, but Wesley

702
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:25,120
Speaker 1: made a good point that these are these teams are

703
00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:27,319
Speaker 1: a reflection of their coaches. And I would say that

704
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:31,520
Speaker 1: it isn't just that you need time, because last last

705
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:33,520
Speaker 1: week when we went into our last year, went into

706
00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:36,359
Speaker 1: the Seattle locker room, man, they were on fire. They

707
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:38,919
Speaker 1: were all having the time of their life. And Peak

708
00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:41,640
Speaker 1: Carroll's right in the middle. They were doing cheers. I mean,

709
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:43,960
Speaker 1: you went in tonight into New in New England, and

710
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:46,040
Speaker 1: maybe some people don't like the Patriots because of this,

711
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:48,560
Speaker 1: but it was a Morgan there and it was business

712
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:51,040
Speaker 1: as usual and not it was I think they're going

713
00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:54,400
Speaker 1: to be partying. There will be a Gronk video up

714
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 1: in about seven hours, and every sport those approaches. We

715
00:34:57,239 --> 00:34:58,879
Speaker 1: are who we are. You want to be a part

716
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:00,759
Speaker 1: of that, that's fine, Well, have you there or not?

717
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:03,040
Speaker 1: The Patriots like, We're going to do this at another

718
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:06,720
Speaker 1: time and place. This is a strange Super Bowl locker room, right. Honestly,

719
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:09,000
Speaker 1: the thing I'll remember most from that whole scene was

720
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:11,759
Speaker 1: I kind of watched I left around the same time

721
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:14,040
Speaker 1: Belichick did he you know, he saw me leaving. He

722
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:15,920
Speaker 1: was like, Okay, I guess this is over. So he

723
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:18,640
Speaker 1: walked out with Lynda Holiday and they were, you know,

724
00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:20,880
Speaker 1: they're walking down the hallway and someone, you know, some

725
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:23,520
Speaker 1: guy from the Patriots like yells at Belichick like, hey, hey,

726
00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:25,560
Speaker 1: you want some food. He's like, we got we got

727
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:28,600
Speaker 1: some chicken tenders. So we got some chicken tenders. And

728
00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:30,879
Speaker 1: Belichick kind of like looks over. He like walks past,

729
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:33,000
Speaker 1: and he stops. He's and he thinks about it for

730
00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 1: a minute. He goes and kind of looks at it

731
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:36,560
Speaker 1: and has like he's like, oh, this sucks. But then

732
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:38,960
Speaker 1: he just takes it and shoves it in his face. Anyways,

733
00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:41,080
Speaker 1: you know, that's the night to go have those chickens

734
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:44,759
Speaker 1: super Bowl Live. I'm just saying, hey, Bill, he's just

735
00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:47,560
Speaker 1: like one of us, you know. Um, all right, gentlemen,

736
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:48,960
Speaker 1: what else do we want to talk about before we

737
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:50,680
Speaker 1: get out of here? I think we gotta we gotta

738
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:54,680
Speaker 1: leave eventually. Tds nine over here. Russell Wilson just you know,

739
00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:58,800
Speaker 1: set his career back potentially forever, and TD is soaking

740
00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:00,920
Speaker 1: that in anything. Those guys that we want to talk

741
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:03,480
Speaker 1: about before we head back to Phoenix, one quick moment,

742
00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:06,080
Speaker 1: which you know, Greg, very proud of you today and

743
00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:08,040
Speaker 1: happy for you, but a little bit of a proud

744
00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:10,600
Speaker 1: of me, a little bit of a black mark, because

745
00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:12,759
Speaker 1: when you want to get into journal ethics, you know,

746
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:15,520
Speaker 1: got a lot of journey, total journal ethic conversation. Because

747
00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:17,719
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, I look over and Greg is sent out

748
00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:21,000
Speaker 1: on both Instagram and on Twitter a picture that he

749
00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:23,280
Speaker 1: took a Belichick like reaching out to be like, hey,

750
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:25,359
Speaker 1: how are you man, Good to see you, thank you,

751
00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:28,760
Speaker 1: and puts a quote in addressing that Belichi could spoken

752
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:31,680
Speaker 1: to Greg, thanking Greg for all the Greg's doune I thought,

753
00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:35,520
Speaker 1: actually not accurate and potentially unprofessional. Well other than that,

754
00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:38,000
Speaker 1: definitely unprofessional. But the one I sent from the around

755
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:41,200
Speaker 1: the League account, actually it said great job all year

756
00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:44,280
Speaker 1: for the by the a t NFL guys loved the podcast,

757
00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:48,160
Speaker 1: even he's a big thing. Even more untrue. We don't

758
00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:50,959
Speaker 1: know that to be untrue. You weren't there. It wasn't

759
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:53,279
Speaker 1: a quote. Let's anyways, I'm not gonna get stuck on that.

760
00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:55,239
Speaker 1: We've gone off track. Great stadium by the way here,

761
00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:58,919
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, beautiful beautiful day. When they opened up the roof,

762
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:01,719
Speaker 1: I thought that made in my mind. It put me

763
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:04,360
Speaker 1: in a much better mood. It just what a beautiful

764
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:07,640
Speaker 1: after a very rainy, lousy week. It was just drove

765
00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:10,200
Speaker 1: this morning because I don't know why we come to

766
00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:14,040
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl games fourteen to eighteen hours before kickoff

767
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:16,400
Speaker 1: every year. No one's ever quite define why that happens,

768
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:18,399
Speaker 1: but it's what happens. We drove here in a deep

769
00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:21,200
Speaker 1: fog where you couldn't even see the stadium until you

770
00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:23,000
Speaker 1: were right in front of it. It was like the

771
00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:25,560
Speaker 1: Iceberg and the Titanic. By the way, now it's locked

772
00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:27,920
Speaker 1: and we're not getting out until roughly ten in the morning.

773
00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:31,000
Speaker 1: T D nodding, and someone's going to go down for this,

774
00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:34,719
Speaker 1: T Greg, I think, uh you, we're gonna give you

775
00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:38,560
Speaker 1: the floor now to a spouse about the Patriots and

776
00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:41,960
Speaker 1: what they accomplished. And I don't like this. You know,

777
00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:44,040
Speaker 1: just own the moment. It's a big moment for you.

778
00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:48,040
Speaker 1: Will never happen for me or Mark so or Connor,

779
00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:50,640
Speaker 1: who's also a Browns fan, West lives in a state

780
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:53,600
Speaker 1: of football purgatory. This is your moment right now. I mean,

781
00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:56,000
Speaker 1: I'm good, I'm good. I don't want anything more as

782
00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:59,000
Speaker 1: a fan for any of my teams for the Patriots,

783
00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:02,399
Speaker 1: like this was the onbelieve a word of that, Well,

784
00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:04,800
Speaker 1: I believe it right now. It's a bunch of gas

785
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:08,359
Speaker 1: the playoff and you'll be of course I'll want them

786
00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:11,360
Speaker 1: to win, but this was really the one that you

787
00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:13,160
Speaker 1: just wanted to get that one more to kind of

788
00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:16,960
Speaker 1: solidify all this success that they've had since two and

789
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:20,880
Speaker 1: there there is something about how it started in controversy

790
00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:23,960
Speaker 1: with the tuck rule, and everyone's kind of hated them

791
00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:26,240
Speaker 1: ever since spy Gate, and you had all this deflate

792
00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:29,160
Speaker 1: gate the last couple of weeks, and just for them

793
00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:31,799
Speaker 1: to win kind of in that old school early two

794
00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:34,399
Speaker 1: thousands way like they did with a with a role

795
00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:37,839
Speaker 1: player making the big play at the end, just kind

796
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:40,920
Speaker 1: of a big middle finger to everyone else. Let's come

797
00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:43,640
Speaker 1: down with that. But but again, think about it. Think

798
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:47,840
Speaker 1: how close we came in the fourth quarter, how close

799
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:51,360
Speaker 1: we came to Tom Brady winning three straight Super Bowls

800
00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:54,879
Speaker 1: then losing three st super Bowls and that really being

801
00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:57,759
Speaker 1: a bitter suite. Let's face a black mark on how

802
00:38:57,800 --> 00:39:00,439
Speaker 1: he's remembered as the guys started strong and the ended

803
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:03,560
Speaker 1: week in the biggest game. Instead, all that's wiped off

804
00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:06,400
Speaker 1: the books. Four out of six is dominant and and listen,

805
00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:08,279
Speaker 1: I I tweeted it as in the heat of the moment,

806
00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:10,680
Speaker 1: but I still stand by it. Um. I do like

807
00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:13,280
Speaker 1: to like to have fun and talk about the greatest

808
00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:15,600
Speaker 1: quarterback ever stuff. I think he's the best ever. I

809
00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:18,319
Speaker 1: think I think this game mocked it up. He's gonna

810
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:20,080
Speaker 1: have He's gonna be in the top five and every

811
00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:23,280
Speaker 1: major passing category by the time he finally quits, maybe

812
00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:25,960
Speaker 1: top three, and he has four rings and six Super

813
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:29,560
Speaker 1: Bowl appearances at least, we think to me, I guess

814
00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:32,399
Speaker 1: it's to cap off the day for me. We're here

815
00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:35,319
Speaker 1: last year and we're talking about Peyton Manning's legacy and

816
00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:38,799
Speaker 1: going into that game most people considered him greater all

817
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:42,600
Speaker 1: time than Tom Brady. A year later, we're not even

818
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:45,320
Speaker 1: bringing up Peyton Manning the discussion. Brady has distanced himself

819
00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:47,200
Speaker 1: a little bit from Peyton man It is such a

820
00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:50,120
Speaker 1: weird sport though I wrote it right when that drive

821
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:53,840
Speaker 1: started by the Seahawks that what the Patriots defenders do,

822
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:57,520
Speaker 1: what Malcolm Butler and Jamie Collins does for the next

823
00:39:57,560 --> 00:39:59,359
Speaker 1: three minutes, is going to change the way we talk

824
00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:02,000
Speaker 1: about time eighty for the next fifty years. And that's

825
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:04,920
Speaker 1: just how it is. And Connor to just talk about

826
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:08,319
Speaker 1: for the Patriots to do this in Seattle. Did you

827
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:10,440
Speaker 1: hear that crowd the way they were cheering here in

828
00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:14,000
Speaker 1: this building. This was a Seahawks home game, basically, and

829
00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:15,920
Speaker 1: the Patriots shut them all up and sent them home

830
00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:19,160
Speaker 1: sad and moping. I mean we addressed it earlier, but

831
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:22,839
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick was roundly booed during the national anthem. That

832
00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:26,400
Speaker 1: was pretty television. I mean, that was the atmosphere there.

833
00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:29,320
Speaker 1: It really felt and I will give Patriots fans credit

834
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:31,680
Speaker 1: it did. They got pretty loud when good things happened

835
00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:34,240
Speaker 1: for the Pets too, But this was probably a seventy

836
00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:44,719
Speaker 1: it was it was It was probably Seahawks fans, but

837
00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:46,600
Speaker 1: there was a good amount of noise when the Patriots

838
00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:48,520
Speaker 1: did things, so they must have been Patriots in the

839
00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:51,080
Speaker 1: middle of those fans jump ship and went over there.

840
00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:53,520
Speaker 1: I thought it was the loudest I've ever been. I

841
00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:55,239
Speaker 1: thought it was a pretty big factor in the game,

842
00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:59,200
Speaker 1: like the like Brady was having trouble, like just everything sound.

843
00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:01,160
Speaker 1: Why it wasn't saying how loud they were. I did

844
00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:05,520
Speaker 1: feel bad for our social media, uh Interloper Goose, Bryce

845
00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:08,839
Speaker 1: Gufs and I looked. He turn well, we all did,

846
00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:10,879
Speaker 1: because you know he's back here. We couldn't even see him,

847
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:13,759
Speaker 1: but turned around. He just had. He's a notorious Seahawks

848
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:17,480
Speaker 1: fan family involved with the Seahawks organization. Thousand yards stairing

849
00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:21,719
Speaker 1: and nowhere. You know what's interesting, that is sad. He

850
00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:25,120
Speaker 1: came up after me ten minutes later. Also the nicest

851
00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:28,480
Speaker 1: guy in the world. He was like right, ten minutes

852
00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:30,399
Speaker 1: later he came over to me like, shook my hands

853
00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:33,759
Speaker 1: and I'm glad we're still friends and congratulations, like like

854
00:41:34,200 --> 00:41:39,239
Speaker 1: fans do anything. Mark quietly was the biggest cheerer in

855
00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:42,560
Speaker 1: the Patriots corner West. Mark and I were in the

856
00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:47,319
Speaker 1: same corner and Mark, when things are going poorly for

857
00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:49,920
Speaker 1: the Patriots, he was getting fired up pretty pick. He

858
00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:51,879
Speaker 1: was showing more emotion than me. I had to be

859
00:41:51,960 --> 00:41:53,880
Speaker 1: your good cop bad copy because I'm like, I know,

860
00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:56,279
Speaker 1: Greg is quietly going crazy, but he's an editor. He's

861
00:41:56,280 --> 00:41:59,040
Speaker 1: got high level bosses watching his behavior. So I had

862
00:41:59,080 --> 00:42:01,000
Speaker 1: to be the one that was a little bit more

863
00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:05,120
Speaker 1: emotional to show Greggy wasn't alone. The mystery of the game.

864
00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:08,120
Speaker 1: I want to know who through the skittles that buzzed.

865
00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:13,080
Speaker 1: Mark Sesslers were in the highest possible place in this building,

866
00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:18,040
Speaker 1: and the skittles came from above us. Speaking of covert

867
00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:21,840
Speaker 1: footage of high high above bosses, one of the management

868
00:42:21,880 --> 00:42:26,360
Speaker 1: figures got a video exclusive around the NFL exclusive footage

869
00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:29,480
Speaker 1: of Greg's celebrating and Mark and West celebrating the go

870
00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:34,560
Speaker 1: ahead Patriots in the fourth quarter. It was it was yeah,

871
00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:37,680
Speaker 1: and you will not see me in that shot. Whoever

872
00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:40,359
Speaker 1: took this footage high level executive or dont just did

873
00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:43,080
Speaker 1: not have a lot to do during this game. They

874
00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:52,400
Speaker 1: were literally taping us instead of the bowl. Um, all right, gentlemen, Greg,

875
00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:55,160
Speaker 1: you are the boss. We have reached the end of

876
