00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:05,240
Speaker 1: Kill the music. Cut the music. What are you doing

2
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:08,560
Speaker 1: producing Jay? Cut the music? You gotta tell you you

3
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:11,240
Speaker 1: you don't come in on a down tempo topic with

4
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:15,280
Speaker 1: up tempo music. Yeah, we should kill the music and

5
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:18,480
Speaker 1: you Yeah, well, anyway, let's not let that moron ruin

7
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:24,439
Speaker 1: and Tony Fustco Show Live from Philly. Polly Fusto here

8
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 1: with Tony Fusco. YadA, YadA, YadA, Tony, Let's just get

9
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 1: into it. Not the topic like the rest of the

10
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 1: mainstream media wants to go. Just the absolute train wreck

11
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:39,840
Speaker 1: of an injustice of a Super Bowl believe Na perfectly.

12
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 1: The Roughs totally blow it, and now the NFL loving

13
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 1: media wants to move on and talk about other things.

14
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 1: Not us. Not us. We will not allow this injustice

15
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 1: to go unnoticed. We're gonna get to the bottom of

16
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 1: it right now and fix it, aren't with Tony? Yeah, exactly.

17
00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 1: We do real journalism on this show here, and that's

18
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 1: why today we're bringing you a special report super Bowl

19
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 1: in Crisis. Super Bowl. You know, you know it's in

20
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 1: times like these, Tony, that we got to look to

21
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 1: a power that's bigger than the NFL rule book. Of course,

22
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:20,119
Speaker 1: we're talking about the American judicial system, aren't we, Tony. Absolutely,

23
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 1: And we all know that in any court case, when

24
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 1: I judge the something wrong, the cases declared a mistrial.

25
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:30,680
Speaker 1: And that's why the Super Bowl should clearly be declared

26
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 1: a no contest. Great point, Tony couldn't agree more. And

27
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 1: that's why today we're bringing on two people who should

28
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 1: be ashamed of how they're handling the story. First, a

29
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 1: Fox Sports personality who originally spoke out against the call,

30
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 1: you know, agreed with us, but now has totally shifted

31
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 1: years doesn't talk about it at all. And well, we're

32
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 1: gonna have to teach her a lesson and how to

33
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 1: be a media personality, how to do journalists exactly. FS

34
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:59,639
Speaker 1: one's Joy Taylor. But we're not gonna stop there, are we, Tony.

35
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 1: You know, We're gonna go straight to the source of

36
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 1: this foolishness and speak to a man who has done

37
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 1: nothing to stand up to the league, even though all

38
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 1: his ex cronies there are getting away with murder. I

39
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 1: he's the former senior vice president of NFL Officiating, Dean Blandino.

40
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 1: We're gonna set him straight. To so buckle up at

41
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 1: go up anyway. But first, while the absolute failure of

42
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,359
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl is a pressing topic, so is your

43
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 1: choice in air travel. And that's why right now we're

44
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 1: gonna do an ad for our good friends at Spirit Airlines.

45
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:39,519
Speaker 1: Do you like traveling and comfort? Why? Yeah, we got

46
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:43,080
Speaker 1: a name for people who travel in first class, first

47
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 1: class holes. You think you're better than everybody else, then

48
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 1: you're a class hole. There you go book your next

49
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 1: trip on Spirit Airlines using the promo code. Eagles got

50
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 1: robbed for point three percent off the sales tax on

51
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 1: your next booking offer only valid on connecting flights to

52
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 1: Des Moines. Spirit Airlines. Okays out of the way, So

53
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 1: it's time to continue our special report super Bowl in Crisis.

54
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 1: Super Bowls such a sad turn of events, as we

55
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 1: saw at the Super Bowl, Tony, a great game overshadowed

56
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:26,360
Speaker 1: by one bad call. And now we feel just terrible

57
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 1: for the Eagles and also the Chiefs, don't we, Tony? Yeah? Now,

58
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 1: all anyone's gonna remember from this game is that bad call.

59
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 1: No one will remember who won, or who lost, or

60
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 1: who one m v P. They will probably remember the

61
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 1: rush tds that Jalen Hurts had because that's set a record.

62
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 1: But other than that, everything else just forgotten. So true, Tony,

63
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 1: And you know, you bring up a great point there.

64
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 1: You know, if you really want to make Super Bowl history,

65
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 1: should you can win the game, all right, But you

66
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 1: know then people only remember the team, they don't remember you.

67
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 1: If you want to be known for your individual accomplishments,

68
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 1: then you have to do one thing. And what's that, Dony?

69
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 1: Set records? There you go, this is why Jalen Hurts

70
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: absolutely outslugged Patrick Mahomes, you know, but tied so many

71
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,040
Speaker 1: important Super Bowl records. Let's go look at all of

72
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 1: them right here. Bring up that graphic most points scored,

73
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 1: most touchdowns three, most rushing touchdowns three nuts, most rushing

74
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 1: yards by a quarterback seventy crazy and then most two

75
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:40,719
Speaker 1: point conversions one. Meanwhile, Tony, you know how many records

76
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 1: Mahomes set shake zero? None. Just a totally forgettable super

77
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 1: Bowl from Patrick Mahomes. Definitely not one for the record

78
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 1: books because his name won't be in there at all.

79
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 1: Great point, Dony. And you know, with the whole media

80
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,840
Speaker 1: focused on the Eagles quote unquote losing the Super Bowl,

81
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 1: which they didn't. What they're ignoring is that the Eagles

82
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 1: offense put up thirty five points in the Super Bowl,

83
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:13,279
Speaker 1: and that has great historical significance, doesn't it, Don'ty. Absolutely,

84
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 1: people are focusing on one game. But if you look

85
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 1: all time, the Eagles have averaged twenty six point eight

86
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 1: points in the Super Bowl while the Chiefs have only

87
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,479
Speaker 1: averaged twenty two point two points in the Super Bowl.

88
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,719
Speaker 1: So based on that, it's clear the Eagles have won

89
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 1: the all time matchup, and that's far more important than

90
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 1: just one outlier super Bowl terrific point, don'ty. And you

91
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 1: know people out there they're saying, you know, this whole

92
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: rough situation is over because James Bradberry, the defensive back

93
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 1: in question for the Eagles, has already come out and

94
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 1: admitted that he did hold. But that's what the media

95
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 1: wants you to focus only. They don't want you to

96
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 1: listen to the other Eagles player who has come out

97
00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,599
Speaker 1: and made his own comments. Of course, I'm talking about

98
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 1: Eagles dB Darius Slay, who has his own podcast on

99
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 1: the volume, because you know, nowadays they just give a

100
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 1: podcast to anybody who asks. But that's not a knock

101
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:13,840
Speaker 1: against slave respect. Yeah, we have true respect for what

102
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,599
Speaker 1: he said on his podcast the other day. Listen to

103
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 1: this play that clip. Holding goes on all doing a game.

104
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,159
Speaker 1: I'm to the game, I probably hold Dan there every

105
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 1: play passing play in the game. That's just what to do.

106
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:28,920
Speaker 1: But what I would have called that in that type

107
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 1: of situation, Hell no, there people towards Hell no sums

108
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 1: at all that perfectly. And you know what, what Slave

109
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:43,799
Speaker 1: proves there is there just certain times when you shouldn't

110
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:45,919
Speaker 1: make that call. You need to let the players on

111
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 1: the field play the game. Isn't that right, don'ty? Of course,

112
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: we can't be reinforcing rules all the time. Imagine if

113
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:57,040
Speaker 1: the cops pulled over everyone who was speeding, the cops

114
00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 1: would be so busy giving tickets, all the murders would

115
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 1: go murder. So if you say all rules should be

116
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 1: enforced at all times, then basically your pro murder. So

117
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 1: elegantly put tony. And another thing we must point out

118
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 1: is that the refs didn't call holding the entire game

119
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 1: until that final call right there. So you know, don't

120
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 1: you think that the players must have been looking around

121
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 1: and thinking, hey, they're not calling holding. Holding must be

122
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 1: legal in this game? Of course they did. You know,

123
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 1: people always say there's an exception to every rule, Well,

124
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 1: how is anybody gonna know what the exception is and

125
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 1: what's not. It's very confusing and frankly, it's a mixed message.

126
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 1: Two players again, so well put Dony and you know,

127
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 1: on the subject of mixed messages, I see our guests

128
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 1: coming on the line. Who's been sending a ton of them,

129
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 1: So let's just go ahead and get around the FUSCO

130
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 1: Satellite Network Satellite alright, joining us now for our continuing

131
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 1: coverage of US shual report super Bowl in Crisis. She's

132
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 1: a co host on FS one's Speak Now. Like most people,

133
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 1: we don't watch the show ever, but you know, someone

134
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 1: told us she was one of the most vocal critics

135
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 1: of that, you know, ref terrible call, So you know,

136
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 1: we decided to turn it on today expecting a real

137
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 1: deep dive into this true injustice the show. They lead

138
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 1: off with, where does Patrick Mahomes rank all time? Joy Taylor?

139
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:32,680
Speaker 1: What do you think this is? June? I mean, it's

140
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 1: it's time to have that conversation. We have to discuss

141
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 1: now that now that the ink is dry, you know,

142
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 1: now that he's been awarded SUPERO m v P and

143
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 1: they won the Super Bowl. We have to discuss where

144
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:47,079
Speaker 1: he ranks. Now, aren't you skipping over a few things?

145
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,680
Speaker 1: They skipping over a little page in the history book. See,

146
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,080
Speaker 1: you know you came out joy, didn't you? When the

147
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 1: Super Bowl ended? Someone told me you came out and

148
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 1: you said it was a terrible call, didn't you. I

149
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 1: didn't like the call. I mean it was the correct call,

150
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:00,960
Speaker 1: but I don't like that they called it at that

151
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 1: point in the game. And if it's going to be

152
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,080
Speaker 1: the only holding call that you have our game, how

153
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 1: do you exactly? Yeah, there are certain times, as you said,

154
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:10,080
Speaker 1: that you shouldn't call something. Here, let me ask you

155
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 1: a question, jo a personal question. How do you you

156
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 1: live in l A? That's where you are? And how

157
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:17,439
Speaker 1: you get around? What? Fox give you a chauffeur? You

158
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:19,959
Speaker 1: drive around a limo? What goes on? There's try to

159
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 1: drive a car? Oh okay? Well all right, so when

160
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:25,439
Speaker 1: you're driving your car, let me ask you this. You're

161
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 1: driving your car around l A. There you see the

162
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 1: speed limit says thirty five? How fast do you go

163
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 1: thirty five? Usually around? Okay? So sometimes a rule should

164
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 1: be not you know heated, it should be ignored. Is

165
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:49,560
Speaker 1: that what you are saying? In a sense? Yes, I

166
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 1: mean it's it's still feeding and I could still get

167
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 1: a ticket. But yeah, but I'd be upset and it

168
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 1: would feel a little egregious, and there are people who

169
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 1: are flying by, you know that kind of thing. Yeah,

170
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 1: then you would tell the judge you want a no trial,

171
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 1: no contest mistrial. Right, you'd say it's an unfair handling

172
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:14,200
Speaker 1: of the law, wouldn't you do? I would, and I

173
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:18,440
Speaker 1: probably would win. There, we got there, we see you admit.

174
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 1: The most important thing in this country, more important than

175
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 1: NFL rules, is our American judicial system. And the law

176
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 1: clearly states that when a judge makes a mistake, I

177
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 1: see you not in along there. When a judge makes

178
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:33,079
Speaker 1: a mistake, what do we do? We declare a mistrial.

179
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 1: So don't you're a great? Come on? The super Bowl

180
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:39,199
Speaker 1: declared a no contest. So you think that we need

181
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:42,080
Speaker 1: to to erase the outcome of the Super Bowl because

182
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:46,479
Speaker 1: you strip the Chiefs. The Chiefs are having their parade today.

183
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 1: So I'm pretty sure that the Kansas City, the Chiefs

184
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 1: are holding the parade. Just like when a team throws

185
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 1: an incomplete pass and they rule it complete. They rushed

186
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 1: to the line of scrimmage. That's what the Chiefs are doing.

187
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 1: They're trying to get a playoff and get a parade

188
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 1: off before anyone can challenge it. They're trying to close

189
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 1: the book on it. Yeah, you're in the media. You're

190
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 1: trying to move on with your board, big media, bige,

191
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 1: Where does he rank? Joy? The Super Bowl is in

192
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:17,080
Speaker 1: danger And I'm telling you next year, nobody's gonna watch.

193
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 1: It's gonna get beaten in the ratings by a rerun

194
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 1: of Full House. And guess where the blood is gonna

195
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 1: be on your hands? In the media, we need to

196
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 1: stick together, he enjoy. Yet we're brethren in the media.

197
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 1: Come on, don't you think we shouldn't move on? We

198
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 1: need to dig deeper here. I don't think it's a conspiracy, guys.

199
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:38,840
Speaker 1: I think that the referees did a decent job throughout

200
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:42,200
Speaker 1: the game, and that they probably overstepped in a really

201
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,079
Speaker 1: big moment. But at the end of the day, it

202
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 1: was a hold. And you know, you know, there's a

203
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 1: lot of thing didn't want Tony. I didn't want to

204
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 1: go here. But you are related to someone who used

205
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 1: to play in the NFL A. Oh yeah, your brother Jason,

206
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 1: And yeah, I just want to know joy. If I

207
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:04,680
Speaker 1: went and I looked at Jason Taylor's quote, we find

208
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:10,080
Speaker 1: highlight is great quote unquote defensive place. I wouldn't see

209
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 1: any holding, of course, not would I Why would he

210
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 1: be holding? If anything, he would be getting held to

211
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:22,599
Speaker 1: let Zach Thomas make a tackle. So you hold everybody? Yeah,

212
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:25,679
Speaker 1: that's fair, that's fair. Look, I think you guys are

213
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:30,080
Speaker 1: really focusing on the wrong things here. Played a pretty

214
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,560
Speaker 1: great game offensively. Jalen Hurts looks like the future of

215
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:35,720
Speaker 1: the team. The defense didn't show up, and that's really

216
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:39,560
Speaker 1: what to lose his game. How is the defense supposed

217
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 1: to play defense if they can't hold? I mean, just

218
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:44,320
Speaker 1: ask your brother. He was holding all the time. You

219
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,440
Speaker 1: know what we used to call your brother, not Jason Taylor,

220
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 1: Jason Holder, that's what we called him. Come on, that's

221
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 1: out of the game. The defense had no sacks and

222
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 1: his historic season, and then they were getting help too,

223
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 1: they were getting held. Come on, going on? It was

224
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 1: he yep. Not from now on until we get this resolved,

225
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:11,960
Speaker 1: your show speak shouldn't talk about anything any topics until

226
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 1: this is resolved. All you guys should talk about is

227
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:19,599
Speaker 1: that holding penalty. I can't do that. Guy. Oh guess what,

228
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 1: guess what, guess what we're gonna do? On hold, I'm

229
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:25,679
Speaker 1: just gonna go ahead and hang up the phone because

230
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 1: show Joy show, you're missery. Yeah, we should tell you

231
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 1: off the show. You're you're the Juju Smith Schuster of

232
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 1: this show. Yea stop holding us penyard penalty on you? Joy?

233
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 1: Is she off the line? Jay, hang up the phone.

234
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 1: That was just a total waste of time, Tony. Yeah,

235
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,839
Speaker 1: she was anything but a joy to talk to. Good one.

236
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 1: But you know, we probably should have known better, should

237
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:01,119
Speaker 1: have known that the mainstream media al dry and continue

238
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,559
Speaker 1: to cover up the story. That's what they do, That's

239
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:07,080
Speaker 1: what they what. He's on the line. All right, here

240
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 1: we go, All right, good, we'll shift course here. Uh,

241
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 1: and we're gonna go to our nice guest, another person

242
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 1: who's trying to, you know, run circles here and run

243
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 1: from the truth. So let's let go ahead and go

244
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 1: back to the FUSCO Satellite network. And now we continue

245
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 1: our special report super Bowl in Crisis, and we're joined

246
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 1: by the former senior vice president of NFL Officiating who's

247
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 1: also the head of the command center there at Fox

248
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 1: Sports that's supposed to catch the ref's mistakes during the game.

249
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 1: Not so in command this time, I guess. Anyway, Dean Blandino,

250
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 1: tell us on a scale of one at then, how

251
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 1: ashamed of your profession are you? Right now? I'm not.

252
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 1: I'm not ashamed at all. I feel pretty good. I'm

253
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 1: not going to eight point five because we asked you

254
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 1: how ashamed you are? I think not. How proud you

255
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 1: want to This is a bad sign, even worse sign

256
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 1: for the rest. It's just cross out of the gate.

257
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 1: So I take it you guys had a problem with

258
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 1: how the game was officiated on something. Oh yeah, just proud.

259
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 1: What was the only holding call in the whole game?

260
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 1: They don't call holding for the whole game. Then they

261
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 1: called one holding. So let me ask you, Dean, don't

262
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 1: you think the players on the field were saying, Hey,

263
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 1: they don't they're not calling holding. Holding must be legal. Now. Yeah,

264
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 1: it's it's possible that the players may have gotten a

265
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 1: sense that, hey, I can get away with a little

266
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 1: more during the game because they're not calling it. And

267
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 1: I'm sure that went both ways where maybe the Chiefs

268
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 1: were doing it maybe the Eagles were doing it, But

269
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 1: I just go back to your your team, your player,

270
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 1: James Bradberry's comments where he said, and I quote, it

271
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 1: was a hold. What about the comments from Eagles quarterback

272
00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 1: Darius Slay He said, there's holding on every play, every

273
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 1: play as a hole and they just called that one.

274
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 1: So are you are you suggesting that there was something

275
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 1: I'm going to use a big word. I'm not sure

276
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 1: if you guys are gonna know what this means? Nefarious

277
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 1: going on? Are you talking down to us again? The

278
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 1: guy who couldn't know a scale of one to ten?

279
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 1: How a scale to ten? You're an eleven of an actoll,

280
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 1: That's what I'm talking about. Yeah, so he was within

281
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 1: five yards? Dean, that that's not defensive holding doesn't matter

282
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 1: five yards. That's illegal contact, which I feel like all

283
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 1: he wants to do to me right now, So we

284
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 1: would considered legal after what you're doing. Let's say that

285
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 1: the call was incorrect. What are you proposing that we

286
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 1: do about? Oh, have you heard of something called the

287
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 1: American judicial system? Dean heard of it. But we have

288
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 1: rules in this country. If a judge makes a mistake,

289
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 1: guess what they do. They declare a no contest. Mystery

290
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 1: would like you as someone who apparently has some sway

291
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:08,359
Speaker 1: with the league even though they got rid of you,

292
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 1: but you know, maybe still has some sway. Could you

293
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:14,960
Speaker 1: go there and tell them declare a no contest? Fix

294
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:18,439
Speaker 1: this come on? Okay? So I mean that would be

295
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 1: unprecedented that based on a and not saying that it

296
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 1: can't happen, but based on a judgment call in a game.

297
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:28,640
Speaker 1: It's not like they misapplied a rule or there doing

298
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:31,960
Speaker 1: personal question, personal questantin where you live? And I like

299
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:34,879
Speaker 1: where you live in l A. Now, so okay, follow

300
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 1: me here, follow me? And I know numbers are very

301
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 1: difficult for you. EF he's established, but there we go.

302
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:42,359
Speaker 1: Let's say you'll see a sign when you drive in

303
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:46,720
Speaker 1: the car. It's a speed limit thirty five. How fast

304
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:51,240
Speaker 1: do you go? Well, yeah, I I absolutely have driven

305
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 1: over the speed limit. But you know anything about you

306
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:58,920
Speaker 1: have to know, okay, how much traffic is there? The

307
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 1: speed of that traffic. I try not to go. Look,

308
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:05,440
Speaker 1: you can be within ten miles of the speed limit

309
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:07,680
Speaker 1: and be okay and not get pulled over. But once

310
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:12,639
Speaker 1: you start getting thirty hey, that's where it becomes an

311
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:18,119
Speaker 1: issue James Bradberry, James James Bradbertery, how he did was touch?

312
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:22,359
Speaker 1: He touched? Yeah, I get it, I get your I

313
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:25,360
Speaker 1: get your tortured. Point is that so you're saying, if

314
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:28,200
Speaker 1: if James Bradberry the speed limit was thirty five, he

315
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 1: was driving like thirty eight, that yame thirty six thirty

316
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:36,200
Speaker 1: five point two thirty five point you can maybe confusing him,

317
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 1: Tony that that's a little confusing. Maybe the decimal system

318
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 1: too much for Deane to understand. So I go to

319
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 1: I go to I go to Roger Goodell. I call

320
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:48,439

334
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 1: don't let them get us down. We fought the good

335
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:49,879
Speaker 1: fight today, didn't Wait, Yeah, we did. Now it's in

336
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:53,520
Speaker 1: the hands of the American judicial system, Yes it is.

337
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 1: And also before we go, we want to thank god

338
00:19:56,600 --> 00:20:02,439
Speaker 1: terrific sponsors at Spirit Airlines. And he was Harry, No,

339
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 1: you kidding me, produced Jay, somebody who has no Spirit corrections,

340
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 1: go hurry up. First, First, you said the Eagles are

341
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 1: better than the Chiefs because they've averaged more points in

342
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl all time. Yep, yeah, it makes total sense. Well,

343
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 1: the Chiefs have scored more total points in the Super

344
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 1: Bowl one even to one oh seven. So that argument

345
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 1: is just terrible. Oh yeah, well you know what else

346
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:38,160
Speaker 1: is terrible? That I haven't killed you yet. Yeah, I'm

347
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 1: going to total my car after I hit you with it. Yeah,

348
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:49,919
Speaker 1: with no more. Number two? What, just so we're clear

349
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 1: what James Bradberry did admit that he held juju Smith Schuster,

350
00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 1: So so what so if a player admits that he

351
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 1: could made a penalty. There should be no discussion after that.

352
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:08,360
Speaker 1: It's over. You're right. The only thing we should discuss

353
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:12,400
Speaker 1: is where to bury your body. Yeah, there's only one

354
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:17,399
Speaker 1: penalty we should discuss with you, the death penalty. Great

355
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 1: with no more. Last week you told me I was

356
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 1: wrong for saying Patrick Mahomes fumbled more than Jalen Hurts,

357
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:29,720
Speaker 1: and then Jalen Hurts fumbled in the Super Bowl. Yeah,

358
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:34,160
Speaker 1: what's your point? So I think you owe me an apology?

359
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:38,880
Speaker 1: Oh yeah. If there's one thing I owe you, it's

360
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:42,920
Speaker 1: my foot in your face. You're right. I do want

361
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:47,200
Speaker 1: to apologize to our audience for not killing you sooner.

362
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:52,359
Speaker 1: But don't worry. We're gonna fix that one. Hold on,

363
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:55,480
