Tom, good morning. What do we 43 00:02:33,628 --> 00:02:37,148 Speaker 1: need to know on day one of another offseason conversation 44 00:02:37,188 --> 00:02:43,188 Speaker 1: regarding Tom Brady's future? Well, Jamie, Tom Brady, as you heard, 45 00:02:43,268 --> 00:02:45,948 Speaker 1: not giving any timetable on when he might make a 46 00:02:45,988 --> 00:02:49,348 Speaker 1: decision about whether to continue playing at the age of 47 00:02:49,468 --> 00:02:52,108 Speaker 1: forty six in twenty twenty three. Now I can also 48 00:02:52,148 --> 00:02:55,068 Speaker 1: tell you that people close to Brady in recent weeks 49 00:02:55,068 --> 00:02:57,508 Speaker 1: has said that all options are on the table and 50 00:02:57,588 --> 00:03:01,268 Speaker 1: he is more open to the possibility of coming back 51 00:03:01,308 --> 00:03:03,788 Speaker 1: than he was back in September. A lot of things 52 00:03:03,788 --> 00:03:06,708 Speaker 1: have changed in Brady's life since then. There are a 53 00:03:06,708 --> 00:03:09,428 Speaker 1: lot of different considerations in terms of where he might 54 00:03:09,508 --> 00:03:12,228 Speaker 1: end up playing with his children on the East Coast, 55 00:03:12,468 --> 00:03:14,628 Speaker 1: and what if he decides he does want to come back, 56 00:03:14,868 --> 00:03:17,428 Speaker 1: he should have options and he would be a free agent. 57 00:03:17,548 --> 00:03:20,428 Speaker 1: Returning to the Buccaneers is a possibility. He thanked the 58 00:03:20,508 --> 00:03:23,228 Speaker 1: organization last night, said that it is a great place 59 00:03:23,228 --> 00:03:25,308 Speaker 1: to be. Of course, on a super Bowl there. He 60 00:03:25,348 --> 00:03:28,308 Speaker 1: has great fondness for the ownership group, but there are 61 00:03:28,348 --> 00:03:31,268 Speaker 1: other suitors as well, one of them in Las Vegas. 62 00:03:31,268 --> 00:03:34,828 Speaker 1: His old offensive coordinator, Josh McDaniels is there the Raiders 63 00:03:34,868 --> 00:03:37,148 Speaker 1: looking to move on from Derek Carr. That is a 64 00:03:37,188 --> 00:03:40,668 Speaker 1: potential fit. Bucks coach Todd Bulls did say he also 65 00:03:40,748 --> 00:03:43,788 Speaker 1: will sit down and speak with Brady about his future 66 00:03:43,988 --> 00:03:47,148 Speaker 1: at some point a time, though not right now, coming 67 00:03:47,148 --> 00:03:49,788 Speaker 1: off of what Brady described as a loss that just 68 00:03:49,908 --> 00:03:54,028 Speaker 1: felt like the end of the season. Jamie, Yeah, there 69 00:03:54,108 --> 00:03:56,028 Speaker 1: was a lot of commentary to come from that Tom 70 00:03:56,068 --> 00:03:58,628 Speaker 1: Brady postgame press conference last night. We're going to get 71 00:03:58,668 --> 00:04:00,788 Speaker 1: into it right now. Tom palisera, thank you very much, 72 00:04:01,588 --> 00:04:05,708 Speaker 1: Tom Brady. The conversation and continues. This is not how 73 00:04:05,748 --> 00:04:09,428 Speaker 1: fans wanted to see Brady and his season. So here 74 00:04:09,468 --> 00:04:12,668 Speaker 1: we go, let's have the wheel go round him round. 75 00:04:12,708 --> 00:04:14,748 Speaker 1: We're gonna ask this question, would you be shocked if 76 00:04:14,908 --> 00:04:17,148 Speaker 1: last night was the last time we will ever see 77 00:04:17,188 --> 00:04:20,988 Speaker 1: Tom Brady play in the NFL? Jason, Oh, this is 78 00:04:21,028 --> 00:04:23,468 Speaker 1: so tough because you hear so many people saying how 79 00:04:23,508 --> 00:04:26,708 Speaker 1: bad he played last night. He threw the ball sixty 80 00:04:26,828 --> 00:04:30,148 Speaker 1: six times, They rushed only fifty yards like, yeah, he 81 00:04:30,188 --> 00:04:33,468 Speaker 1: didn't look good, but no one's gonna look good playing 82 00:04:33,468 --> 00:04:36,468 Speaker 1: the game that way. Tom attended the most passing in 83 00:04:36,468 --> 00:04:40,108 Speaker 1: the NFL this year, completed the most. I don't know 84 00:04:40,148 --> 00:04:42,628 Speaker 1: if he's gonna play next year. Everybody has him photo 85 00:04:42,708 --> 00:04:45,748 Speaker 1: shopped on their favorite team's jersey with the helmet on 86 00:04:45,828 --> 00:04:48,228 Speaker 1: and the whole nine. He's going back to New England 87 00:04:48,268 --> 00:04:50,828 Speaker 1: one week, he's going to Vegas to play with McDaniels. 88 00:04:50,988 --> 00:04:53,068 Speaker 1: And then Tom talked about the other side of it. 89 00:04:53,268 --> 00:04:55,868 Speaker 1: Tom as a family man too. He has kids and 90 00:04:56,068 --> 00:04:58,868 Speaker 1: there's death factors in as well. Where's kids gonna be located? 91 00:04:58,908 --> 00:05:03,188 Speaker 1: East coast, West coast. I could easily see Tom Brady 92 00:05:03,268 --> 00:05:05,748 Speaker 1: not playing next year. We had everything that went on 93 00:05:05,908 --> 00:05:09,588 Speaker 1: last year with the retiring, then the unretiring, and he 94 00:05:09,668 --> 00:05:11,748 Speaker 1: said it after the game, is gonna take time right 95 00:05:11,788 --> 00:05:13,908 Speaker 1: now the season just ended, get some sleep and started 96 00:05:13,948 --> 00:05:16,348 Speaker 1: to figure some of these things out. I'm looking at 97 00:05:16,428 --> 00:05:18,468 Speaker 1: him run off the field and he gives his mom 98 00:05:18,508 --> 00:05:21,028 Speaker 1: and his dad a kiss, and I'm looking at I'm 99 00:05:21,028 --> 00:05:23,268 Speaker 1: thinking to myself as I'm watching this, like is this 100 00:05:23,308 --> 00:05:25,188 Speaker 1: it for Tim? Does he say you know what? Like 101 00:05:25,708 --> 00:05:28,588 Speaker 1: I've done it? All. I came back out of retirement. 102 00:05:28,628 --> 00:05:32,428 Speaker 1: I played this season. We struggled mightily. It was a 103 00:05:32,428 --> 00:05:34,788 Speaker 1: team that there were a lot of fourth quarter wins 104 00:05:34,828 --> 00:05:37,508 Speaker 1: where neither team looked good, and Brady just finds a 105 00:05:37,548 --> 00:05:39,668 Speaker 1: way to Willis team the victory and the fourth quarter. 106 00:05:40,188 --> 00:05:42,028 Speaker 1: Is there a team out there that he says, hey, 107 00:05:42,108 --> 00:05:44,068 Speaker 1: you know what, they have the receivers, I need, they 108 00:05:44,108 --> 00:05:46,348 Speaker 1: have the offensive line I need to protect me, and 109 00:05:46,388 --> 00:05:48,588 Speaker 1: they have a defense that we actually can go win 110 00:05:48,908 --> 00:05:51,468 Speaker 1: the Bowl. Can Tampa Bay retool and do it again? 111 00:05:52,348 --> 00:05:53,948 Speaker 1: I don't know if we see him play next year. 112 00:05:54,068 --> 00:05:57,868 Speaker 1: I honestly don't. Okay, and you know him, you play, 113 00:05:59,428 --> 00:06:02,228 Speaker 1: exchange the text messages right now, but yes, for sure, 114 00:06:02,708 --> 00:06:04,948 Speaker 1: um last year would have been the pre finish for 115 00:06:04,988 --> 00:06:07,548 Speaker 1: Tom Brady. I know they lost, but like down twenty 116 00:06:07,548 --> 00:06:09,388 Speaker 1: four points, he takes him all the way back and 117 00:06:09,388 --> 00:06:12,228 Speaker 1: then the Rams and Stafford, who's a worthy opponent, comes 118 00:06:12,268 --> 00:06:14,148 Speaker 1: and gets his big moment and it's just passing at 119 00:06:14,148 --> 00:06:16,348 Speaker 1: the torch and it was like beautiful and Tom Brady 120 00:06:16,388 --> 00:06:18,988 Speaker 1: walks off and it's like this year is such a 121 00:06:20,228 --> 00:06:24,148 Speaker 1: eight and nine going into the playoffs, get blown out 122 00:06:24,188 --> 00:06:28,348 Speaker 1: in the last playoff game. Now, it's an offseason of speculation, 123 00:06:28,428 --> 00:06:31,268 Speaker 1: and there's people genuinely saying and meaning like is he 124 00:06:31,308 --> 00:06:33,948 Speaker 1: an upgrade from whatever team? He's Like? All right, so 125 00:06:34,028 --> 00:06:37,188 Speaker 1: the Raiders are gonna bring him in, Like what, Look, 126 00:06:37,708 --> 00:06:40,748 Speaker 1: he's forty five years old. Fox is waiting there if 127 00:06:40,748 --> 00:06:43,268 Speaker 1: he wants with a major broadcast deal. So it's not 128 00:06:43,308 --> 00:06:44,908 Speaker 1: like he's gonna be, you know, out in the ether. 129 00:06:44,988 --> 00:06:47,268 Speaker 1: He already has that job lined up. I wouldn't be 130 00:06:47,268 --> 00:06:49,748 Speaker 1: shocked if this is it. I thought last year would 131 00:06:49,748 --> 00:06:53,548 Speaker 1: have been perfect, right off into the Sunset Playoffs Divisional round. 132 00:06:53,948 --> 00:06:55,908 Speaker 1: You didn't go your way, but you showed everyone in 133 00:06:55,948 --> 00:06:57,788 Speaker 1: the last game that you ever played that you had it. 134 00:06:57,908 --> 00:07:01,388 Speaker 1: This last night was That's a footnote in Tom Brady's 135 00:07:01,428 --> 00:07:02,828 Speaker 1: career that I hope we never have to talk about 136 00:07:02,868 --> 00:07:05,508 Speaker 1: because it was not good. We'll say this. He had 137 00:07:05,548 --> 00:07:07,748 Speaker 1: this sound bite at the end. We heard his earlier 138 00:07:07,788 --> 00:07:10,388 Speaker 1: sound bite.

I'm not so sure about that. 165 00:08:20,988 --> 00:08:24,028 Speaker 1: I think about Brady and Rodgers and we're talking about 166 00:08:24,108 --> 00:08:26,308 Speaker 1: Niners Cowboys, and how much it reminds us of the nineties. 167 00:08:26,548 --> 00:08:29,188 Speaker 1: I look at I look at Heat, and I look 168 00:08:29,188 --> 00:08:31,908 Speaker 1: at de Niro and Pacino sitting down across from each 169 00:08:31,908 --> 00:08:35,068 Speaker 1: other at the diner, and Vincent Hannah says, you know, 170 00:08:35,868 --> 00:08:38,468 Speaker 1: I don't know how to do anything else, and mcaulay says, 171 00:08:38,748 --> 00:08:41,628 Speaker 1: neither do I, and then Hannah says, I don't much 172 00:08:41,668 --> 00:08:44,548 Speaker 1: want to either. McCauley says, near do I. I think 173 00:08:44,548 --> 00:08:46,268 Speaker 1: it's the two of them, and it's like, what am 174 00:08:46,268 --> 00:08:48,748 Speaker 1: I gonna do? I'm the best ever, I'm the greatest ever. 175 00:08:50,428 --> 00:08:51,788 Speaker 1: I don't know if this is two in the weeds. 176 00:08:51,988 --> 00:08:53,428 Speaker 1: I still have a hard time seeing them go in 177 00:08:53,428 --> 00:08:54,828 Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame together. I just don't think that's 178 00:08:54,828 --> 00:08:58,108 Speaker 1: gonna happen. If they both retired, that they would. I 179 00:08:58,148 --> 00:09:00,148 Speaker 1: think Brady is gonna play again. I think he is 180 00:09:00,148 --> 00:09:03,388 Speaker 1: such a fiend, and he gets off on being in 181 00:09:03,428 --> 00:09:05,308 Speaker 1: shape and people talking about how old he is and 182 00:09:05,348 --> 00:09:08,748 Speaker 1: competing and competing and competing I think we should. I'm 183 00:09:08,748 --> 00:09:10,668 Speaker 1: gonna add live in exercise right now. Yeah, we live 184 00:09:10,668 --> 00:09:12,348 Speaker 1: in the world of predictions. Let's do it right now. 185 00:09:12,908 --> 00:09:14,548 Speaker 1: Do you think he's done with Tampa? And do you 186 00:09:14,588 --> 00:09:16,588 Speaker 1: think he's done done? I'll start. I think he's done 187 00:09:16,588 --> 00:09:18,628 Speaker 1: with Tampa. I think that was a goodbye. I think 188 00:09:18,628 --> 00:09:20,188 Speaker 1: he will be on another team next year. I think 189 00:09:20,188 --> 00:09:21,788 Speaker 1: he's still good enough. And I think he gets off 190 00:09:21,828 --> 00:09:26,068 Speaker 1: on a Peter on January seventeenth. I think he's done 191 00:09:26,068 --> 00:09:28,268 Speaker 1: with Tampa, and I would take the I played the 192 00:09:28,268 --> 00:09:29,548 Speaker 1: fifth on the other one, and I think I'm with you. 193 00:09:29,588 --> 00:09:31,828 Speaker 1: I'm like on the fence on whether I'm not on 194 00:09:31,868 --> 00:09:33,508 Speaker 1: the fence. I think he's gonna be back on another team. 195 00:09:33,508 --> 00:09:35,668 Speaker 1: I don't think he's definitely coming back. Okay, I don't 196 00:09:35,668 --> 00:09:37,548 Speaker 1: know what that means. I mean I don't I wouldn't 197 00:09:37,588 --> 00:09:39,348 Speaker 1: say that. I don't like if he I'm not shocked 198 00:09:39,348 --> 00:09:40,868 Speaker 1: at the question said, I would not be surprised. That's 199 00:09:40,868 --> 00:09:43,348 Speaker 1: the last we soft him. Okay, I'm gonna flip the question. 200 00:09:43,348 --> 00:09:45,028 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say I'm not sure if he's coming back, 201 00:09:45,028 --> 00:09:46,708 Speaker 1: and I say, if he does come back, no one 202 00:09:46,788 --> 00:09:48,588 Speaker 1: is sure. What do you think I say he's gonna 203 00:09:48,628 --> 00:09:50,908 Speaker 1: be in Tampa. Okay, I like it. I like it. 204 00:09:50,948 --> 00:09:54,068 Speaker 1: Comfortable situation. Just I just think East Coast, as they 205 00:09:54,108 --> 00:09:57,708 Speaker 1: say Miami's might be possibly be in Miami. He's in Tampa. 206 00:09:57,788 --> 00:10:00,148 Speaker 1: Stuff is situated. I think he got some family up 207 00:10:00,188 --> 00:10:02,188 Speaker 1: here in New York, stays in Tampa, and I think 208 00:10:02,188 --> 00:10:04,548 Speaker 1: he figures out how to make that situation better be 209 00:10:06,468 --> 00:10:08,148 Speaker 1: different things. I think if he plays, I think he 210 00:10:08,188 --> 00:10:10,468 Speaker 1: stays in Tampa at all. I think he's not in Tampa. 211 00:10:10,548 --> 00:10:13,428 Speaker 1: I think he plays again. I'm with you, Okay, how 212 00:10:13,508 --> 00:10:17,068 Speaker 1: come I think? Um, you know, it's so easy for 213 00:10:17,108 --> 00:10:20,708 Speaker 1: a lot of us to go like with the selfish 214 00:10:20,708 --> 00:10:22,948 Speaker 1: fan route of like I want more. I want more. 215 00:10:22,948 --> 00:10:24,268 Speaker 1: I want to see more of him. I want to 216 00:10:24,268 --> 00:10:27,428 Speaker 1: see him win. Like I'm with you, Kyle, Like what 217 00:10:27,468 --> 00:10:30,308 Speaker 1: does he want? And I think I think he can't 218 00:10:30,828 --> 00:10:33,188 Speaker 1: give up the playing part of it. There is also 219 00:10:33,228 --> 00:10:34,828 Speaker 1: like a Lodis might be two in the weeds too, 220 00:10:34,828 --> 00:10:40,508 Speaker 1: believe a logistical broadcast life that goes along with someone 221 00:10:40,548 --> 00:10:44,268 Speaker 1: who is an analyst on network television, and like you 222 00:10:44,308 --> 00:10:46,668 Speaker 1: can have as many private planes as you possibly can. 223 00:10:46,868 --> 00:10:50,068 Speaker 1: It's not luxurious, it's hard work. It's in the weeds. 224 00:10:50,468 --> 00:10:54,828 Speaker 1: It's meetings, it's production meetings. I think if he can 225 00:10:54,868 --> 00:10:57,788 Speaker 1: have that or play, I think he's always going to play. 226 00:10:57,868 --> 00:11:00,468 Speaker 1: I think he will always opt to play. And frankly, 227 00:11:00,828 --> 00:11:03,068 Speaker 1: his what was it fifty five pass attempts last night, 228 00:11:03,188 --> 00:11:06,988 Speaker 1: sixty five sixty six, I think some of them still 229 00:11:06,988 --> 00:11:13,068 Speaker 1: looked good. Touchdown you can definitely still believe. And so 230 00:11:13,388 --> 00:11:15,948 Speaker 1: I just think, like there is something there and we 231 00:11:16,028 --> 00:11:17,828 Speaker 1: want to see it. But I think he wants it's 232 00:11:17,828 --> 00:11:20,708 Speaker 1: still and I think there are other teams, other cities, 233 00:11:20,748 --> 00:11:23,148 Speaker 1: other operations that are happening. There are a little bit 234 00:11:23,228 --> 00:11:25,388 Speaker 1: there's too much to fix in Tampa Bay, I think, yeah. 235 00:11:25,468 --> 00:11:28,748 Speaker 1: But I think Peter's questions interesting, Like so someone will say, Brady, 236 00:11:28,748 --> 00:11:29,988 Speaker 1: come in and we'll get you linemen, will get you 237 00:11:29,988 --> 00:11:31,788 Speaker 1: pass worsters and will get your receivers. It's like, is 238 00:11:31,828 --> 00:11:33,628 Speaker 1: that just worth? The squeeze is good? But like there's 239 00:11:33,628 --> 00:11:35,068 Speaker 1: a lot of good young quarterbacks out there, you know 240 00:11:35,108 --> 00:11:36,828 Speaker 1: what I mean, Like, oh, we bring in tickets, Come on, 241 00:11:37,148 --> 00:11:40,508 Speaker 1: is he still that guy? Off season? There's a movie 242 00:11:40,548 --> 00:11:44,228 Speaker 1: coming out eighty for Brady, Like he's got Scott obviously 243 00:11:44,228 --> 00:11:47,308 Speaker 1: his personal stuff going on, and then there's the crypto 244 00:11:47,388 --> 00:11:49,228 Speaker 1: stuff going like there's a lot going out to sea 245 00:11:49,548 --> 00:11:52,508 Speaker 1: walking away. It doesn't mean, it doesn't mean he's gonna 246 00:11:52,588 --> 00:11:55,748 Speaker 1: jump into analyst role. To your point, that's everything that's 247 00:11:55,788 --> 00:11:58,068 Speaker 1: being reported. Maybe he just walks away. Maybe he's in 248 00:11:58,108 --> 00:12:01,268 Speaker 1: a studio somewhere and dust stuff. From that standpoint, I 249 00:12:01,428 --> 00:12:04,028 Speaker 1: just I don't know so much of gone breeze and 250 00:12:04,028 --> 00:12:07,508 Speaker 1: has game in the playoffs wasn't effective. Yes, Peyton Mann 251 00:12:07,508 --> 00:12:09,308 Speaker 1: and won a Super Bowl. He has zero touchdowns in 252 00:12:09,348 --> 00:12:11,988 Speaker 1: the intersects. It's not a guarantee you get to ride 253 00:12:11,988 --> 00:12:14,148 Speaker 1: all in the sunset. What are great last game? He 254 00:12:14,228 --> 00:12:15,828 Speaker 1: may have looked good at one game, but god, that's 255 00:12:15,828 --> 00:12:17,548 Speaker 1: a long season for him to have to do. At 256 00:12:17,548 --> 00:12:20,108 Speaker 1: whatever age you'd be at. Next year fifty seven coming 257 00:12:20,188 --> 00:12:24,308 Speaker 1: up good running giant for winless against the Eagles and 258 00:12:24,348 --> 00:12:27,548 Speaker 1: the regular season. But here's the thing. The whole adage 259 00:12:27,588 --> 00:12:29,788 Speaker 1: goes tough to be the team three times a year? 260 00:12:29,908 --> 00:12:32,308 Speaker 1: Can things be different this time around? We're gonna hear 261 00:12:32,348 --> 00:12:34,268 Speaker 1: what Brian Dable has to say about that later, though. 262 00:12:38,188 --> 00:12:39,828 Speaker 1: I mean, it's how we how we go about our 263 00:12:39,868 --> 00:12:42,548 Speaker 1: business this week. One week really has nothing to do 264 00:12:42,588 --> 00:12:44,428 Speaker 1: with the next week or one game has nothing to 265 00:12:44,468 --> 00:12:46,668 Speaker 1: do with the next game other than you take things 266 00:12:46,708 --> 00:12:48,308 Speaker 1: from it, you learn from it, you try to grow 267 00:12:48,348 --> 00:12:51,028 Speaker 1: from it. You know, we had obviously oh and two 268 00:12:51,028 --> 00:12:53,948 Speaker 1: against them this year, so we've got to do a 269 00:12:53,948 --> 00:12:56,908 Speaker 1: good job this week of getting ready to play. You know, 270 00:12:56,988 --> 00:12:58,468 Speaker 1: the best team in the league, the best team in 271 00:12:58,508 --> 00:13:03,908 Speaker 1: the NFC, the team that went at two oh during 272 00:13:03,948 --> 00:13:06,668 Speaker 1: the regular season went on to win the third game 273 00:13:06,828 --> 00:13:10,868 Speaker 1: fifteen out of twenty four times in league history. And 274 00:13:11,108 --> 00:13:14,948 Speaker 1: that stat, my friends, is as useful as win probability, 275 00:13:15,228 --> 00:13:18,588 Speaker 1: which I know Ian Rapp Report and Peter Schrager absolutely 276 00:13:18,708 --> 00:13:23,508 Speaker 1: love every singsolutely week. It's like they're ninety eight percent 277 00:13:23,548 --> 00:13:24,948 Speaker 1: chance to go into the team loses. So at some 278 00:13:25,028 --> 00:13:27,348 Speaker 1: point doesn't we just throw away that win probability stat. 279 00:13:27,388 --> 00:13:29,348 Speaker 1: We've seen a lot of comeback throw away in the future, yeah, 280 00:13:29,628 --> 00:13:32,548 Speaker 1: away the future compact. So the Cults come back, the 281 00:13:32,628 --> 00:13:35,268 Speaker 1: Vikings come back. I've seen all the change you will 282 00:13:36,348 --> 00:13:40,428 Speaker 1: we have probability, yes, absolutely, So that was interesting stable 283 00:13:40,588 --> 00:13:42,588 Speaker 1: just like this is it. We gotta move forward. We 284 00:13:42,628 --> 00:13:44,068 Speaker 1: have this team we gotta take on this weekend. I 285 00:13:44,148 --> 00:13:47,028 Speaker 1: get to move on in past the wild card round 286 00:13:47,028 --> 00:13:49,268 Speaker 1: into the Divisional round looks great, They're going up against 287 00:13:49,268 --> 00:13:51,868 Speaker 1: the Eagles. What do we think about Davil's words though, 288 00:13:51,908 --> 00:13:54,548 Speaker 1: his comments surrounding that game. You know, I was at 289 00:13:54,588 --> 00:13:56,668 Speaker 1: that first game, that Eagles Giants game, and it wasn't 290 00:13:56,668 --> 00:13:59,228 Speaker 1: a contest. I think Daniel Jones got sacked two of 291 00:13:59,268 --> 00:14:01,068 Speaker 1: the first three plays and the Eagles just piled it 292 00:14:01,108 --> 00:14:03,388 Speaker 1: on the second one. Of course, Davis Webb's out there, 293 00:14:03,428 --> 00:14:05,828 Speaker 1: so it almost feels like this one game that was 294 00:14:05,908 --> 00:14:09,348 Speaker 1: from the prehistoric era of the Giant season, which was 295 00:14:09,348 --> 00:14:10,948 Speaker 1: really not that long ago, but it feels that way. 296 00:14:11,068 --> 00:14:14,308 Speaker 1: Another one that's almost like an exhibition. There's an interesting, 297 00:14:14,348 --> 00:14:17,748 Speaker 1: like tied shifting right now. I've got a friend named 298 00:14:17,748 --> 00:14:20,748 Speaker 1: Michael who's an Eagles fan, and he's like, wait, are 299 00:14:20,788 --> 00:14:24,268 Speaker 1: we like the underdogs now? Everyone forgot about what we've 300 00:14:24,308 --> 00:14:26,828 Speaker 1: done this season, and that is a whole shift now 301 00:14:26,868 --> 00:14:29,868 Speaker 1: because everyone's really in on the Giants and the Eagles. 302 00:14:29,908 --> 00:14:31,668 Speaker 1: We haven't seen them at their full strength and over 303 00:14:31,708 --> 00:14:34,788 Speaker 1: a month. Because Jalen Hurts has been hurt, a lot 304 00:14:34,788 --> 00:14:36,468 Speaker 1: of people, a lot of people are on the Giants. 305 00:14:36,508 --> 00:14:37,828 Speaker 1: I even feel like there's some people in on the 306 00:14:37,908 --> 00:14:40,348 Speaker 1: Jags going on against the Chiefs. You win that wildcard game, 307 00:14:40,428 --> 00:14:41,828 Speaker 1: the team goes away for two weeks, you get a 308 00:14:41,868 --> 00:14:43,708 Speaker 1: lot of hype, and then trying not to get hammered 309 00:14:43,708 --> 00:14:49,308 Speaker 1: by that one seat. We'll see h All right, here's 310 00:14:49,388 --> 00:14:52,748 Speaker 1: how it shakes out in the AFC in the divisional rounds. 311 00:14:52,908 --> 00:14:55,988 Speaker 1: The Bengals are on their way to Buffalo to take 312 00:14:56,068 --> 00:14:59,228 Speaker 1: on the Bills, a game that we was stopped short 313 00:14:59,268 --> 00:15:02,828 Speaker 1: just two plus weeks ago, and then Headwars, the winners 314 00:15:02,828 --> 00:15:06,588 Speaker 1: of the AFC South an unbelievable comeback game Saturday night. 315 00:15:06,588 --> 00:15:08,548 Speaker 1: They had to Kansas City. We have not seen the 316 00:15:08,628 --> 00:15:11,428 Speaker 1: Chiefs in two weeks time now, and America's kind of 317 00:15:11,468 --> 00:15:15,388 Speaker 1: loving on the jag So great Gates one Saturday, one Sunday, 318 00:15:15,628 --> 00:15:19,548 Speaker 1: let's talk Bills Bengals. Which team is playing better ball 319 00:15:19,828 --> 00:15:22,748 Speaker 1: right now? And this isn't like a Wow, They're unbelievable. 320 00:15:22,908 --> 00:15:25,148 Speaker 1: This is like a oh, some things aren't going great, 321 00:15:25,228 --> 00:15:27,708 Speaker 1: So which team is playing better? Kyle Tough One was 322 00:15:27,748 --> 00:15:29,268 Speaker 1: one eight in a row, Ones one nine in a row. 323 00:15:29,268 --> 00:15:32,588 Speaker 1: They both had really weird, sloppy wins over divisional opponents 324 00:15:32,708 --> 00:15:35,388 Speaker 1: last week. Against the third string quarterback, it's dulling Spider 325 00:15:35,388 --> 00:15:38,308 Speaker 1: Man stuff like who's playing better. I guess maybe the 326 00:15:38,308 --> 00:15:40,148 Speaker 1: Bengals because they have a longer winning streak. Who's playing 327 00:15:40,148 --> 00:15:41,748 Speaker 1: at home? The Bills. You know, it's the funny thing 328 00:15:41,748 --> 00:15:43,948 Speaker 1: with the Bills that everyone was losing their minds, maybe 329 00:15:43,988 --> 00:15:46,068 Speaker 1: myself included Yester, about how terrible they were a table 330 00:15:46,628 --> 00:15:48,988 Speaker 1: both wide receivers at one hundred yards receiving Josh down 331 00:15:48,988 --> 00:15:51,548 Speaker 1: at three fifty. They just had turnovers, a sloppy It's 332 00:15:51,548 --> 00:15:53,388 Speaker 1: gonna be a hell of a day, hell of a 333 00:15:53,428 --> 00:15:55,508 Speaker 1: game is We're starting to get into this. On a 334 00:15:55,548 --> 00:15:57,868 Speaker 1: personal note, I'm going to talk to Josh at one 335 00:15:57,908 --> 00:15:59,348 Speaker 1: thirty today for about a half an hour, and I'm 336 00:15:59,348 --> 00:16:01,828 Speaker 1: struggling about what to ask him because this is a 337 00:16:01,828 --> 00:16:03,828 Speaker 1: big game, and he tends to tighten up, and he 338 00:16:03,868 --> 00:16:06,428 Speaker 1: tends to get into the complimentary football mode, and you know, 339 00:16:06,468 --> 00:16:08,788 Speaker 1: like I want to have real conversation about this game 340 00:16:09,108 --> 00:16:10,788 Speaker 1: and not the least in significant part of this is 341 00:16:10,788 --> 00:16:12,508 Speaker 1: the last time these guys played, they stopped in the 342 00:16:12,508 --> 00:16:14,588 Speaker 1: first quarter and walked up the field never played again. 343 00:16:14,828 --> 00:16:16,948 Speaker 1: It's a massive game, and I think they're almost like 344 00:16:16,988 --> 00:16:20,308 Speaker 1: the same exact team. This star quarterback coach who gets 345 00:16:20,308 --> 00:16:22,068 Speaker 1: the city, coach who as the team and buy in 346 00:16:22,428 --> 00:16:24,268 Speaker 1: and if you want to buy Tide Breaker, a Buffalo 347 00:16:24,268 --> 00:16:26,388 Speaker 1: is at home and Josh Allen's never lost the playoff 348 00:16:26,388 --> 00:16:29,308 Speaker 1: game at home, so maybe since he's playing better, who 349 00:16:29,348 --> 00:16:31,548 Speaker 1: cares insignificant in this one? This is a toss up 350 00:16:31,628 --> 00:16:33,348 Speaker 1: when you talk to Josh, when you have these conversations, 351 00:16:33,588 --> 00:16:36,108 Speaker 1: we should I ask him And they're an equation though, 352 00:16:36,148 --> 00:16:38,148 Speaker 1: to get him there, because like you, we get to 353 00:16:38,148 --> 00:16:40,148 Speaker 1: know our favorite people talk to like, Oh, if I 354 00:16:40,188 --> 00:16:42,988 Speaker 1: ask him three ball questions, he'll get there on like 355 00:16:42,988 --> 00:16:44,668 Speaker 1: the fourth one or something like do you have a 356 00:16:44,788 --> 00:16:46,668 Speaker 1: style with him that gets him to a point that 357 00:16:46,748 --> 00:16:48,468 Speaker 1: you see a Kyle Brand's basement. You focus on the 358 00:16:48,508 --> 00:16:51,468 Speaker 1: positive and you don't go for the rote question about 359 00:16:51,788 --> 00:16:54,948 Speaker 1: you know, Josh, some turnovers last week. How are you 360 00:16:54,948 --> 00:16:57,148 Speaker 1: going to clean that up? You know? Again, we have 361 00:16:57,188 --> 00:16:58,748 Speaker 1: to play complimentary from that, and I get it, he 362 00:16:58,748 --> 00:17:00,468 Speaker 1: doesn't want to mess anything up. You gotta appeal to 363 00:17:00,548 --> 00:17:02,548 Speaker 1: his personality and you know what he loves more than anything. 364 00:17:02,548 --> 00:17:05,828 Speaker 1: He loves talking about his teammates and he loves talking quarterbacks. 365 00:17:05,948 --> 00:17:07,228 Speaker 1: If I say what do you think of Burrow? He'll 366 00:17:07,228 --> 00:17:09,268 Speaker 1: probably go for half an hour quarterbacks and teammates. Is 367 00:17:09,268 --> 00:17:11,188 Speaker 1: what I figured out after nineteen weeks. The bond they 368 00:17:11,228 --> 00:17:13,788 Speaker 1: must have had after that experience together. He could probably 369 00:17:13,788 --> 00:17:15,268 Speaker 1: have a lot to say just from that one moment 370 00:17:15,268 --> 00:17:17,908 Speaker 1: in time. They're very tight. They trained together in the offseason, 371 00:17:17,908 --> 00:17:19,428 Speaker 1: they had that experience again. Remember was the first time 372 00:17:19,428 --> 00:17:21,348 Speaker 1: they ever played to each other that game, the Damar 373 00:17:21,428 --> 00:17:24,068 Speaker 1: Hamlin game. So they're extremely tight. And he has talked 374 00:17:24,068 --> 00:17:27,348 Speaker 1: about how Burrow took the captains, walked over to the 375 00:17:27,388 --> 00:17:28,988 Speaker 1: Bills locker room and said, we don't want to play. 376 00:17:29,028 --> 00:17:30,548 Speaker 1: We have your back. I think they love each other 377 00:17:30,668 --> 00:17:32,668 Speaker 1: and this weekend they're gonna go like he'll try to 378 00:17:32,708 --> 00:17:34,188 Speaker 1: kill each other. Yeah, it's gonna be one heck of 379 00:17:34,188 --> 00:17:36,228 Speaker 1: a game. And like we said, we've watched the first 380 00:17:36,468 --> 00:17:39,508 Speaker 1: round of the playoffs and neither team looked amazing. But 381 00:17:39,948 --> 00:17:42,588 Speaker 1: Josh Allen's turnovers is something that he's dealt with. They 382 00:17:42,668 --> 00:17:45,348 Speaker 1: turned the ball over this year, but he is still fantastic. 383 00:17:45,348 --> 00:17:47,988 Speaker 1: I think on the Bengal side of it, losing another 384 00:17:48,068 --> 00:17:50,828 Speaker 1: offensive lineman and Jonah Williams, I think dat kind of 385 00:17:51,028 --> 00:17:52,908 Speaker 1: gives me a little bit of the edge of playing better. 386 00:17:52,988 --> 00:17:54,948 Speaker 1: I know it. The injury is different, but a little 387 00:17:54,988 --> 00:17:57,548 Speaker 1: bit of the edge to the Buffalo Bills. Josh Allen 388 00:17:57,588 --> 00:17:59,988 Speaker 1: I think will correct the turnovers in we'll play better 389 00:17:59,988 --> 00:18:04,348 Speaker 1: in the Division round. God, I cannot decide. I cannot decide. 390 00:18:04,548 --> 00:18:07,468 Speaker 1: It's a great game for different reasons. It's kind of 391 00:18:07,508 --> 00:18:09,468 Speaker 1: like watching last night's game. I was kind of sad 392 00:18:09,508 --> 00:18:11,108 Speaker 1: to see one of those two teams from Monday night 393 00:18:11,188 --> 00:18:13,228 Speaker 1: drop out of the playoffs. I like talking about the Books, 394 00:18:13,228 --> 00:18:15,428 Speaker 1: I like talking about the Cowboys. I like both of 395 00:18:15,468 --> 00:18:18,228 Speaker 1: these teams. I want them to keep going. It's sad 396 00:18:18,228 --> 00:18:20,428 Speaker 1: that we're at a point that we're gonna lose one 397 00:18:20,428 --> 00:18:22,948 Speaker 1: of these guys. If I have to go, though, I 398 00:18:22,988 --> 00:18:24,548 Speaker 1: think I would lean more with the home team. But 399 00:18:24,628 --> 00:18:26,988 Speaker 1: like I said yesterday, I'm worried about the Bills emotional 400 00:18:27,028 --> 00:18:29,508 Speaker 1: rubber band a point. I'd just say this, Josh Allens 401 00:18:29,548 --> 00:18:32,348 Speaker 1: never lost a home playoff game, right, Zach Taylor and 402 00:18:32,388 --> 00:18:34,748 Speaker 1: these Bengals have never lost a road playoff games. Amazing. 403 00:18:35,228 --> 00:18:37,508 Speaker 1: Last year they went into Tennessee, beat the number one seed, 404 00:18:37,548 --> 00:18:39,548 Speaker 1: they went into Arrowhead, they beat the Chiefs, and then 405 00:18:39,628 --> 00:18:42,068 Speaker 1: the Super Bowls on a neutral field. Obviously, not really 406 00:18:42,148 --> 00:18:45,228 Speaker 1: if you think about it. I don't think these Bengals 407 00:18:45,228 --> 00:18:46,708 Speaker 1: guys are scared to go into Buffalo. I know it's 408 00:18:46,708 --> 00:18:49,068 Speaker 1: going to be an emotional game and a rucous crowd. 409 00:18:49,748 --> 00:18:52,068 Speaker 1: Bengals are like, we've seen better and we went to 410 00:18:52,148 --> 00:18:54,228 Speaker 1: Arrowhead last year and beat those guys. I don't think 411 00:18:54,228 --> 00:18:55,828 Speaker 1: they're gonna be Can you imagine the mind of the 412 00:18:55,868 --> 00:18:58,828 Speaker 1: Bengals players watching the entire NFL media lose their minds 413 00:18:58,948 --> 00:19:02,628 Speaker 1: about where the Bills Chiefs game will be played, and 414 00:19:02,668 --> 00:19:04,788 Speaker 1: they're like, how do you know it's gonna be We 415 00:19:04,788 --> 00:19:06,748 Speaker 1: were beating we were beating him on Monday night. First, 416 00:19:06,788 --> 00:19:08,388 Speaker 1: we were went right down the field on our opening drive. 417 00:19:08,388 --> 00:19:11,148 Speaker 1: And yet we're all like, man, Atlanta Mahomes versus Allen 418 00:19:11,468 --> 00:19:15,748 Speaker 1: whoa we we both these teams like we got this. Uh, 419 00:19:15,828 --> 00:19:20,508 Speaker 1: we'll see that. The AFC playoff picture, in terms of 420 00:19:20,508 --> 00:19:22,708 Speaker 1: who could have a home game or not a home 421 00:19:22,708 --> 00:19:25,508 Speaker 1: game or not is just like throw your papers in 422 00:19:25,508 --> 00:19:27,108 Speaker 1: the air. We could talk about it. We only have 423 00:19:27,108 --> 00:19:28,708 Speaker 1: a couple more minutes left on this time on Good 424 00:19:28,708 --> 00:19:30,348 Speaker 1: Morning Flo's that time of year. We're just going to 425 00:19:30,348 --> 00:19:32,548 Speaker 1: the end of second. That's talking about more Good Morning Football. 426 00:19:32,588 --> 00:19:35,028 Speaker 1: Off of this, what's up New York Looking good baby. 427 00:19:35,148 --> 00:19:55,668 Speaker 1: All right, Cowboys dominant in ways that we needed to 428 00:19:55,668 --> 00:19:57,548 Speaker 1: see all season long, and now we've seen them. Peter 429 00:19:57,668 --> 00:20:00,148 Speaker 1: biggest takeaway from the Cowboys winner, I have a totally 430 00:20:00,148 --> 00:20:01,868 Speaker 1: different feel about the Cowboys. I know they played in 431 00:20:01,908 --> 00:20:04,028 Speaker 1: eight and nineteen. We have a juice about you. I 432 00:20:04,148 --> 00:20:07,268 Speaker 1: feel like the Cowboys last night had such a statement 433 00:20:07,308 --> 00:20:09,988 Speaker 1: to the rest of the NFC. And these are cool 434 00:20:10,188 --> 00:20:15,108 Speaker 1: stories with Rock Purty and Daniel Jones and Jalen Hurts. 435 00:20:15,948 --> 00:20:18,108 Speaker 1: Dak just stepped up last night as like, young man, 436 00:20:19,588 --> 00:20:21,908 Speaker 1: I'm the elder Statesman and I'm about to show you 437 00:20:21,988 --> 00:20:25,228 Speaker 1: a thing or two. I thought Dak was fantastic last night, 438 00:20:25,268 --> 00:20:28,628 Speaker 1: maybe Dak's best game of the season, and the entire 439 00:20:28,788 --> 00:20:32,948 Speaker 1: Cowboys offense was like a rolling ball of just momentum 440 00:20:33,028 --> 00:20:36,588 Speaker 1: and the locomotive down the tracks here they couldn't be stopped. 441 00:20:36,948 --> 00:20:39,028 Speaker 1: Dak was so dialed in. I said this earlier in 442 00:20:39,068 --> 00:20:42,828 Speaker 1: the show. As recent as Friday, I came on Good 443 00:20:42,828 --> 00:20:45,388 Speaker 1: Morning Football and said, Dak Prescott led the league interceptions 444 00:20:45,748 --> 00:20:49,388 Speaker 1: and played in less than and missed five games. So 445 00:20:49,628 --> 00:20:52,188 Speaker 1: the jekyl and hide of Dak from that to this 446 00:20:52,268 --> 00:20:56,788 Speaker 1: is incredible, and gosh, you better believe this team can 447 00:20:56,868 --> 00:20:59,268 Speaker 1: do some damage in San Francisco, and they can do 448 00:20:59,308 --> 00:21:02,588 Speaker 1: some damage in Philadelphia if they have to. I was 449 00:21:02,628 --> 00:21:04,668 Speaker 1: blown away and Dak Prescott had his best game of 450 00:21:04,668 --> 00:21:08,388 Speaker 1: the season, second career playoff win, and we could jump 451 00:21:08,428 --> 00:21:11,548 Speaker 1: to conclusions this and that for today on Tuesday morning. 452 00:21:11,748 --> 00:21:14,348 Speaker 1: Hell yeah, Dak, we to silence the haters and way 453 00:21:14,388 --> 00:21:16,628 Speaker 1: to look as good as you possibly could on a 454 00:21:16,748 --> 00:21:19,988 Speaker 1: national stage. With Troy Aikman, a legendary cowboy, you know, 455 00:21:20,068 --> 00:21:23,068 Speaker 1: quarterback on the call, everything lined up perfectly. It was 456 00:21:23,108 --> 00:21:26,068 Speaker 1: a day for ESPN to really go all in on 457 00:21:26,108 --> 00:21:29,188 Speaker 1: this Brady versus Dak matchup, and Dak ran circles around 458 00:21:29,188 --> 00:21:32,068 Speaker 1: Brady last night. Question yeah, and in the seven o'clock hour, 459 00:21:32,188 --> 00:21:34,508 Speaker 1: we all went around the table and just talked about 460 00:21:34,588 --> 00:21:37,428 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott and gave him all the love, and we 461 00:21:37,588 --> 00:21:40,148 Speaker 1: did talk about that Cowboys defense talk about and they 462 00:21:40,148 --> 00:21:44,668 Speaker 1: were all over the field last night. Brady looked uncomfortable. 463 00:21:44,908 --> 00:21:46,988 Speaker 1: We saw an interception in the back of an end zone. 464 00:21:47,028 --> 00:21:49,388 Speaker 1: Somebody's running down on him as he's trying to get 465 00:21:49,428 --> 00:21:52,588 Speaker 1: the ball off. The Cowboys were up twenty four to 466 00:21:52,748 --> 00:21:55,828 Speaker 1: zero in this game, and they just dominated a lot 467 00:21:55,908 --> 00:21:57,868 Speaker 1: of Tampa Bay's yards and then they ended up with 468 00:21:57,908 --> 00:21:59,828 Speaker 1: three hundred and something yards, but it came when the 469 00:21:59,908 --> 00:22:03,548 Speaker 1: game was clearly over. They only gave one fifty yards 470 00:22:03,628 --> 00:22:05,908 Speaker 1: on the ground. They forced Brady to throw the ball 471 00:22:06,268 --> 00:22:11,268 Speaker 1: sixty six times. You're not gonna win many games aast 472 00:22:11,308 --> 00:22:13,908 Speaker 1: the ball sixty times yet, for sure. Bill Lemieux and 473 00:22:14,108 --> 00:22:16,468 Speaker 1: we talked about Dexter Lawrence over the week and how 474 00:22:16,548 --> 00:22:20,428 Speaker 1: dominant he was against the Minnesota Vikings. Michael Parsons was 475 00:22:20,468 --> 00:22:23,988 Speaker 1: an animal last night. Nine pressures, two quarterback hits. He 476 00:22:24,188 --> 00:22:27,788 Speaker 1: was all over the field, chasing Brady down, making tackles 477 00:22:28,028 --> 00:22:32,908 Speaker 1: in the backfield. Just unbelievable. In the Cowboys defense, they 478 00:22:32,948 --> 00:22:35,388 Speaker 1: started off the season very strong. We were talking about 479 00:22:35,428 --> 00:22:37,788 Speaker 1: them keeping them in games with Cooper Russian air, and 480 00:22:37,868 --> 00:22:39,788 Speaker 1: through the back end of the season they weren't getting 481 00:22:39,828 --> 00:22:41,788 Speaker 1: in a lot of sacks. They were giving up points. 482 00:22:41,988 --> 00:22:43,948 Speaker 1: And last night to start the playoffs off, they're like, 483 00:22:43,988 --> 00:22:46,308 Speaker 1: we're here, Dak Prescott. You go ahead and have a night. 484 00:22:46,348 --> 00:22:47,948 Speaker 1: We're gonna follow it up on our side of the 485 00:22:47,988 --> 00:22:50,068 Speaker 1: ball too and shut you down. And they did everything 486 00:22:50,108 --> 00:22:52,068 Speaker 1: they needed to do against Tampa Bay. They crushed them. 487 00:22:52,108 --> 00:22:54,068 Speaker 1: Their offense was way better, their defense was way better. 488 00:22:54,068 --> 00:22:56,668 Speaker 1: In an awesome night. They're gonna play San Francisco next week, 489 00:22:56,748 --> 00:22:59,508 Speaker 1: and San Francisco is gonna be a beast. They're amazing defensively, 490 00:22:59,548 --> 00:23:02,108 Speaker 1: they're so crafty offensively. You needed every break, you need 491 00:23:02,108 --> 00:23:04,388 Speaker 1: every bounce, and you're in every point. And last night 492 00:23:04,508 --> 00:23:07,828 Speaker 1: the Cowboys kicker missed four straight extra points. I don't 493 00:23:07,868 --> 00:23:10,748 Speaker 1: think this is insignificant, especially when you consider that the 494 00:23:10,788 --> 00:23:12,668 Speaker 1: week prior he missed his last extra point to him 495 00:23:12,748 --> 00:23:16,508 Speaker 1: is five straight. And there's like, now, we're not gonna 496 00:23:16,508 --> 00:23:19,028 Speaker 1: bring anybody in this fine, We're gonna stand behind Brett. 497 00:23:19,068 --> 00:23:22,388 Speaker 1: I don't understand it. I'm terrified of this because something 498 00:23:22,468 --> 00:23:26,188 Speaker 1: happened last night to Brett maher psychologically or mentally. And 499 00:23:26,268 --> 00:23:29,068 Speaker 1: I don't mock it, and I don't think it's great, 500 00:23:29,388 --> 00:23:31,628 Speaker 1: But guys, this was a major thing and a guy 501 00:23:31,628 --> 00:23:33,668 Speaker 1: could not do his job, and no matter what he tried, 502 00:23:33,868 --> 00:23:36,908 Speaker 1: including from what I'm reading, practicing for all of halftime, 503 00:23:36,988 --> 00:23:39,628 Speaker 1: he came back out and missed another one. Something psychologically 504 00:23:39,668 --> 00:23:41,188 Speaker 1: happens to this athlete where he could not make an 505 00:23:41,188 --> 00:23:42,548 Speaker 1: extra point, and he made him at the end, and 506 00:23:42,628 --> 00:23:44,988 Speaker 1: good for him. Are you positive and you know they're 507 00:23:44,988 --> 00:23:46,828 Speaker 1: staying by him, Jerry Jones MC right now, we're gonna 508 00:23:46,828 --> 00:23:49,188 Speaker 1: go with Brett. This is not a like a Mason 509 00:23:49,308 --> 00:23:51,468 Speaker 1: Crosby type who is one of the faces of the 510 00:23:51,468 --> 00:23:53,348 Speaker 1: team who's been there. Bret mar let me tell you 511 00:23:53,348 --> 00:23:55,428 Speaker 1: a little about him. Guy played cospool about in Nebraska 512 00:23:55,548 --> 00:23:57,828 Speaker 1: years ago. He is not currently on his fourteenth team, 513 00:23:58,068 --> 00:24:00,988 Speaker 1: including his second stop with the Dallas Cowboys. So it's 514 00:24:00,988 --> 00:24:02,988 Speaker 1: just a guy who he gets brought in and then 515 00:24:02,988 --> 00:24:04,668 Speaker 1: he goes. He gets brought in and then he goes. 516 00:24:04,988 --> 00:24:07,628 Speaker 1: I would hate, and I genuinely mean this, for the 517 00:24:07,708 --> 00:24:09,788 Speaker 1: Cowboys to go to San Francisco play their best ball 518 00:24:09,788 --> 00:24:12,068 Speaker 1: and it's Parsons and it's DAC and it's CD and 519 00:24:12,188 --> 00:24:15,388 Speaker 1: because of little one point missed extra extra points, they 520 00:24:15,468 --> 00:24:19,068 Speaker 1: lose and this season is over. The mental side of 521 00:24:19,108 --> 00:24:21,588 Speaker 1: this is real. You have the names that have been 522 00:24:21,588 --> 00:24:23,828 Speaker 1: out there about guys who suddenly can't throw it ten 523 00:24:23,828 --> 00:24:28,868 Speaker 1: feet from second. Basically the British Open just cannot get it. 524 00:24:28,948 --> 00:24:31,108 Speaker 1: You can't hit the ball. Chuck knob Block is the 525 00:24:31,148 --> 00:24:32,748 Speaker 1: name is always gets bruss up here in New York. 526 00:24:32,748 --> 00:24:34,748 Speaker 1: And I'm not mocking this guy. And I sympathize with him. 527 00:24:34,748 --> 00:24:36,068 Speaker 1: He's got a family. Someone had to be a really 528 00:24:36,068 --> 00:24:38,188 Speaker 1: difficult night. If I'm the Cowboys, I'm bringing someone in 529 00:24:38,188 --> 00:24:40,308 Speaker 1: this morning. I'm not gonna have our season go down 530 00:24:40,308 --> 00:24:42,708 Speaker 1: to a kicker who we lost touched with psychologically in 531 00:24:42,708 --> 00:24:44,388 Speaker 1: the middle of the playoff game and we only won 532 00:24:44,628 --> 00:24:46,188 Speaker 1: because we were that much better. They're not going to 533 00:24:46,228 --> 00:24:48,068 Speaker 1: be that much better than that. Messed with the chemistry 534 00:24:48,068 --> 00:24:49,828 Speaker 1: of the team. If that's their guy, I think if 535 00:24:49,828 --> 00:24:52,428 Speaker 1: it was a Mason Crisby type, Yes, this is a 536 00:24:52,428 --> 00:24:53,948 Speaker 1: guy who just got here this year. He's been in 537 00:24:53,988 --> 00:24:56,228 Speaker 1: a million different spots. This is not one of their boys. 538 00:24:56,268 --> 00:25:00,068 Speaker 1: It's also listen, Jay, it's a kicker, and I respect kickers, 539 00:25:00,068 --> 00:25:02,348 Speaker 1: but I've heard a million athletes being like, it's bringing 540 00:25:02,348 --> 00:25:03,988 Speaker 1: another kicker, it makes extra point we win the game. 541 00:25:04,388 --> 00:25:05,908 Speaker 1: I can't believe they're not gonna bring somebody in. I 542 00:25:05,948 --> 00:25:07,548 Speaker 1: can't believe they're just gonna roll for it. And I 543 00:25:07,548 --> 00:25:09,188 Speaker 1: hope it doesn't burn them because they're not going to 544 00:25:09,268 --> 00:25:11,228 Speaker 1: beat the Niners by this much. They're gonna need a 545 00:25:11,268 --> 00:25:13,548 Speaker 1: kicker next week. And I guess the thing you said 546 00:25:13,588 --> 00:25:15,748 Speaker 1: it comes down to one point. I mean at this point, 547 00:25:15,828 --> 00:25:17,868 Speaker 1: do you feel comfortable that now you're driving in a 548 00:25:17,908 --> 00:25:20,388 Speaker 1: fourth quarter with ten seconds ago, and now you're lining 549 00:25:20,388 --> 00:25:22,548 Speaker 1: it up for a forty eight yard field goal, I 550 00:25:22,548 --> 00:25:24,668 Speaker 1: mean worth four. Last night MacCarthy said no, no no, no, 551 00:25:24,788 --> 00:25:26,228 Speaker 1: we're going for it because don't want to put him 552 00:25:26,268 --> 00:25:29,108 Speaker 1: out there. It's the playoffs, this is everything. It terrifies me. 553 00:25:29,268 --> 00:25:30,988 Speaker 1: I can't believe they're saying no, no no, no, we're fine, 554 00:25:30,988 --> 00:25:32,988 Speaker 1: we're fine, all right. I hope it doesn't burn him. 555 00:25:33,028 --> 00:25:34,588 Speaker 1: I really do. I really hope it doesn't burn him. 556 00:25:34,588 --> 00:25:37,268 Speaker 1: It's I'm married a kicker. It's all mental. I mean 557 00:25:37,348 --> 00:25:39,788 Speaker 1: I watched I watched these miss kicks with him last night, 558 00:25:39,868 --> 00:25:42,148 Speaker 1: and I'm just like, what is happening? I mean, he 559 00:25:42,268 --> 00:25:45,948 Speaker 1: was like the second it's not physical, the physical capability 560 00:25:45,948 --> 00:25:48,428 Speaker 1: of these kickers is off the charts. The second it 561 00:25:48,468 --> 00:25:50,588 Speaker 1: becomes mental, you are a long gone. He got hurt, 562 00:25:50,628 --> 00:25:53,668 Speaker 1: My husband got hurt towards quad twice. After that second squad, 563 00:25:53,708 --> 00:25:54,908 Speaker 1: it was just like, I could never do it again. 564 00:25:54,948 --> 00:25:56,668 Speaker 1: Couldn't kick straight to save my life. All I could 565 00:25:56,708 --> 00:25:58,708 Speaker 1: do is think about kicking straight. Couldn't do it and 566 00:25:58,748 --> 00:26:01,828 Speaker 1: can I There wasn't the conditions, No, snaps were perfect, 567 00:26:01,868 --> 00:26:04,028 Speaker 1: holds were perfect. It's not the wind, it's not the turf, 568 00:26:04,028 --> 00:26:06,348 Speaker 1: it's not the grass, it's not the water. It was nothing. 569 00:26:06,428 --> 00:26:08,988 Speaker 1: He's gonna make one and he's missing him both play 570 00:26:09,028 --> 00:26:12,108 Speaker 1: that Michigan right legitimate. Then the third miss. On the 571 00:26:12,108 --> 00:26:14,148 Speaker 1: third miss, he watched it. He goes, I guess he 572 00:26:14,308 --> 00:26:16,068 Speaker 1: was like looking for it, like he didn't want it 573 00:26:16,108 --> 00:26:18,308 Speaker 1: to be Brett Mahern. He was like, I guess the 574 00:26:18,388 --> 00:26:20,388 Speaker 1: snap was wonky, and then he looked at the hold. 575 00:26:20,428 --> 00:26:22,708 Speaker 1: He was like, it's a good hole, like he just hated. 576 00:26:23,188 --> 00:26:24,748 Speaker 1: It's hard to put it out there. It's hard to 577 00:26:24,788 --> 00:26:27,548 Speaker 1: say it, but like, sometimes that's just it, that it's mental. 578 00:26:27,628 --> 00:26:29,908 Speaker 1: It's one of the hardest things, for as physical and 579 00:26:30,028 --> 00:26:31,948 Speaker 1: for as hard as these guys work, to just chalk 580 00:26:31,948 --> 00:26:33,628 Speaker 1: it up to it being mental. I think it's heartbreaking 581 00:26:33,908 --> 00:26:35,988 Speaker 1: and it's tough when you start to see everybody on 582 00:26:36,028 --> 00:26:37,628 Speaker 1: a team going up to him, and there's always like 583 00:26:37,708 --> 00:26:40,348 Speaker 1: an unwritten rule with like you leave the kicker alone, 584 00:26:40,428 --> 00:26:43,148 Speaker 1: let him figure it out, don't bother as he's miss 585 00:26:43,228 --> 00:26:45,988 Speaker 1: after miss. Now everybody's going up to him. He's gonna 586 00:26:45,988 --> 00:26:49,188 Speaker 1: be a right until the locker room standpoint like if 587 00:26:49,188 --> 00:26:51,988 Speaker 1: we do everything we can for fifty nine minutes and 588 00:26:52,108 --> 00:26:54,668 Speaker 1: forty five seconds, like just give me some spot. I 589 00:26:54,668 --> 00:26:56,108 Speaker 1: can make it. I think that's kind of bowl that 590 00:26:56,188 --> 00:26:58,468 Speaker 1: they just leave him alone when times get tough, because 591 00:26:58,468 --> 00:27:00,188 Speaker 1: that's the guy you want to put on your shoulders 592 00:27:00,228 --> 00:27:02,788 Speaker 1: when he walks you off in San Francisco or does 593 00:27:02,828 --> 00:27:04,828 Speaker 1: not leave him. It's not leave him alone like screw 594 00:27:04,908 --> 00:27:07,468 Speaker 1: them as leave him alone, live though, let him let 595 00:27:07,508 --> 00:27:11,508 Speaker 1: him figure it out. SA always want some kicker. If 596 00:27:11,508 --> 00:27:13,668 Speaker 1: you're not always going up to the kicker. Now when 597 00:27:13,708 --> 00:27:16,428 Speaker 1: he misses one, don't go up to him, like come on, dude, 598 00:27:16,428 --> 00:27:18,308 Speaker 1: you gotta make it, oh of course, like no, no, no, 599 00:27:18,348 --> 00:27:20,508 Speaker 1: but like it just back you know, like oh yeah, 600 00:27:20,588 --> 00:27:23,268 Speaker 1: for sure, different make the kicker. What if they bring 601 00:27:23,308 --> 00:27:24,948 Speaker 1: out like three guys to try out. Well, that's the 602 00:27:24,988 --> 00:27:27,388 Speaker 1: thing is, who's a scallable. Well, I'm sure there's always 603 00:27:27,388 --> 00:27:29,588 Speaker 1: something not to dismiss the kicker. No, there's some there's 604 00:27:29,588 --> 00:27:33,228 Speaker 1: somebody I can make an extra pointed him. There's Rodrigo Blank, 605 00:27:33,388 --> 00:27:35,548 Speaker 1: I'm somebody I can make your point. You can miss 606 00:27:35,548 --> 00:27:37,188 Speaker 1: an extra point, of course, I think you can miss 607 00:27:37,188 --> 00:27:40,228 Speaker 1: a couple and no five straight way back to last week, 608 00:27:40,748 --> 00:27:44,028 Speaker 1: five straight in two different stadiums, in two different weeks. 609 00:27:44,148 --> 00:27:46,348 Speaker 1: There's something going on, and I sympathize. I hope you 610 00:27:46,348 --> 00:27:48,228 Speaker 1: can get it taken care of. But that's not the Cowboys. 611 00:27:48,228 --> 00:27:49,508 Speaker 1: They got cows gonna win this game.
