Speaker 2: breaking down the matchup and kind of go.

33
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 4: Quick question, if I may, I heard Steve the Sega

34
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 4: top of the hour with the sports update.

35
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 3: Yep.

36
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 4: I was wondering if any one of you guys ever

37
00:01:56,200 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 4: had groin tightness, because you said Anthony Davis had groin tightness.

38
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I mean you've had growin tightened. I just

39
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 4: bucky I you had groin tightness.

40
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, you can pull it.

41
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 3: Look like I got it right now. That's why I'm

42
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 3: saying that I have groin tightening.

43
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,239
Speaker 5: The inactivity just looked like he he made a sudden

44
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 5: movement too fast. It's almost like pulling the hamstring. And

45
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 5: so immediately when he clutched the inside of his I

46
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:21,519
Speaker 5: was like, oh, yeah, that's that's bad.

47
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,360
Speaker 2: Right, he already had an abdominal injury that he was

48
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 2: that he was dealing with, missed five games.

49
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, over compensating for it, because it's all tied together.

50
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 5: When not to do an anatomy class, but when you

51
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:35,800
Speaker 5: look at like the hip flexus and all those muscles,

52
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 5: how they wrap around to the lower abs. Deficient in

53
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 5: one area leads to a problem in another area.

54
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 2: That's it.

55
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 4: I want to hold Bucky bros Scotts so smart. No,

56
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 4: he's a tremendous athlete, play in the NFL for five years,

57
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 4: he's a writer, he's a scout, he's a personnel guy.

58
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 4: He's on TV's on radio, and he knows anatomy. I mean,

59
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,640
Speaker 4: come on, you know when God gave out the brains,

60
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 4: he left me out and gave Bucket Brook's mind.

61
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 3: Real.

62
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 4: I mean, really, that's what it is. It's not fair.

63
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:06,239
Speaker 4: It's okay, I'm jealous.

64
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 2: Well, I mean Bucky has an elite athlete as well,

65
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 2: something we didn't have at our disposal, and he necessarily

66
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 2: unless you wanted to harass your friends and family at

67
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 2: parties where I mean, he was going to the trainer

68
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,640
Speaker 2: all the time, right, not necessarily because he was hurt,

69
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 2: but he's getting some pt, getting some you know, checkups

70
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 2: week to week, right, and maybe he just decided to

71
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 2: ask questions, Hey, why is that guy on that rack

72
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 2: over there? What's going on? And why is he screaming?

73
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 2: Those are questions you and I in a day to

74
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 2: day life. I mean, Mark Ramsey may sprain his finger

75
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 2: going to the board, but otherwise, you know, physically he's

76
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 2: standing in one spy. I think he's gonna be okay.

77
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 2: There's not really a lot of sudden movement he's got

78
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 2: to do. Whereas with Bucky, I mean, he's got guys

79
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 2: flying at him. He's got guys that were trying to tackle.

80
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 2: I don't know the equivalent of today is Derrick Henry

81
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 2: or Saquon Barkley, Right, I mean you know that, do

82
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 2: you How many times do we see guys make business

83
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 2: decisions Bucky Brooks when those guys are coming down the pipeline.

84
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 5: I make a lot of them. You know, it's a

85
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 5: hard deal that you have to do with the physicality toughness,

86
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 5: the size everybody's not built for. Everyone thinks they're ready

87
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 5: until they have to be ready.

88
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 2: Now, I want to start this show by thanking a

89
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 2: very unlikely group of people. We're gonna see if we

90
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 2: can get Andy latherd.

91
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:22,600
Speaker 5: Up a little bit with this one. Oh.

92
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 2: The last note in Steve De Sager's Top of the

93
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:31,599
Speaker 2: Hour update talked about Mark Williams and the trade for

94
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 2: Dalton Connect being rescinded. I would like to thank the

95
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 2: NBA for the week of greatness that was leading to

96
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 2: the trade deadline, giving us superstars actually being dealt and

97
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 2: myriad superstars where we were questioning is he going to

98
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 2: be mad? Can he go play there? Is he going

99
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:57,559
Speaker 2: to decide? Okay, that's okay, I'll go there. Last minute,

100
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 2: Kevin Durant's name was mentioned after the Luca Donches trade

101
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:06,160
Speaker 2: last Saturday. Right that comes down Saturday night. Everybody immediately

102
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 2: was like, ooh, Lebron is that and that means like

103
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 2: all the shift happens now, And then he talked about

104
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 2: how happy he was and and no trade clause. I

105
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 2: would waive it if I wanted to go, by the way.

106
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 2: I do also love the Delicious Theater of ESPN moving

107
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,280
Speaker 2: around a bunch of programming for the Laker game. Now,

108
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:26,720
Speaker 2: they got forty five points from Austin Reeves, but they

109
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 2: didn't get Luca or and they didn't get Lebron as expected.

110
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,840
Speaker 2: So kind of a laugh for there. But it saved

111
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 2: me from a week of an a chatter about legacy

112
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:42,479
Speaker 2: and goat talk. So thank you, NBA, thank you very much.

113
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 2: Having with so many.

114
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 4: Names, three names were evolved in the whole week. Jimmy Butler,

115
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 4: Luca and Ad. That was it.

116
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:50,160
Speaker 2: That was it?

117
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 3: Right? What else?

118
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:54,040
Speaker 2: Darren Fox goes to San Antonio.

119
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 3: The fifth The guy's failed at the seventh fourth.

120
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 2: No, that's fine, that happened, But that happened on a

121
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 2: Saturday night, Right, that didn't happen Monday through Friday, when

122
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 2: I gotta fill four hours talking about the greatness that

123
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 2: is the sporting world, and I gotta listed all these

124
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 2: Laker haunts all over the place. This guy's gonna be

125
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 2: the greatest thing you've ever seen as a center when

126
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 2: he's on the court. Yeah, and then he fails to

127
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 2: physical so he goes back and you know that gets rescinded.

128
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:22,719
Speaker 2: Whatever else? No, No, No, it was great because it

129
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 2: gave us an extra flavor on top of the festivities

130
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 2: in New Orleans.

131
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:35,600
Speaker 3: Well, I think it was a big, big gap between.

132
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 4: NFL talk, super Bowl talk, and the NBA so called trades.

133
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:41,720
Speaker 3: Really it was weak.

134
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 2: Well what you did? Then tell me the written then

135
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,840
Speaker 2: riddle me this. Then what was the big story from

136
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:48,719
Speaker 2: super Bowl Week?

137
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 4: Then, dude, doesn't have to be a big story. It's

138
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 4: the game itself, that's the story.

139
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 2: Well, we already had a week of that before everybody

140
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 2: showed up in New Orleans.

141
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, am I wrong? You're right? It's always

142
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 3: been that way, right, But so.

143
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 2: For a week we talked about the ramifications of the trade.

144
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 2: Anthony Davis, who was reduced to a bum. He was

145
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 2: like a prelim guy at the beginning of a WWE

146
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 2: card that goes out and loses eighteen seconds. The way

147
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 2: everybody talked about him on his way out the door.

148
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 2: They didn't get anything for Luca, Like you were just

149
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 2: telling me a week ago, this guy's the top ten

150
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 2: player in the game. You're telling me how great he is,

151
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 2: and then you're dismissing you know, and the same.

152
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 4: Thing is and you'll agree between today and the playoffs,

153
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 4: No one's going to talk about the NBA until playoffs start.

154
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 3: There's the way it is. Well.

155
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 2: But for the NBA, it's also a brilliant week because

156
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 2: for a week we didn't talk about how bad the

157
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 2: product was.

158
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:43,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's true.

159
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 2: They got away from that for a week.

160
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, and it has been bad. And you know, I'm

161
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 4: still waiting to hear from Adam Silver. I guess you

162
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 4: heard what I did because they were all complaining about

163
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 4: too many threes and I said this should be a

164
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 4: designated three point.

165
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, we talked about that last week.

166
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 3: He never wrote me back. I'm waiting he.

167
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 2: Well and on his to a day and either either

168
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 2: you're getting a library built or you're gonna get a

169
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 2: cease and desist. Either way you get something to hang

170
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 2: on the wall or a lawsuit. Nah, now you'll get

171
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 2: a cease and desist. First, they'll just print one of

172
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 2: those out one of the many lawyers there on Park Avenue. Actually,

173
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 2: I kind of would like to see that, Andy, That

174
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 2: would be really cool. There would be a feather in

175
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 2: the cat.

176
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 3: I think, I really, do you think somebody?

177
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 5: Yeah?

178
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 3: I think so?

179
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 2: Is he gonna do it like the like Stan? Dear Andy,

180
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 2: I love you. But all right, we got M and

181
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 2: M into the show. While we're at it, I know,

182
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 2: Kendrick Lamar, prop bets are everywhere. We got to do

183
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 2: have a little nugget for me and Rappaport this morning, fella.

184
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 2: It's a little little nfl H scuttle butt of the

185
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:47,080
Speaker 2: possibility of the San Francisco forty nine ers potentially breaking

186
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 2: up with Deebo Samuel and sending him off into never

187
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 2: never Land. That's just interesting, right.

188
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 4: It's time to break up the forty nine ers. I guess,

189
00:08:58,720 --> 00:08:59,440
Speaker 4: well then't you think?

190
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 2: But just in general, right, the silly season has begun

191
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 2: a lot of shilling for product across radio row for

192
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:12,080
Speaker 2: the week. But there's only two teams remaining. Everybody but

193
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 2: one team has filled their coaching vacancies. And we assume

194
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 2: that Kellen Moore has been predestined to be that guy,

195
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:23,559
Speaker 2: for better or for worse. But he goes to he'll

196
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 2: go to that spot and we'll close that loop. But

197
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 2: right now, the other thirty teams are trying to figure

198
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 2: out what's next.

199
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:32,440
Speaker 4: Well, I will say this, you talk about the forty

200
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,200
Speaker 4: nine ers. I watched that Thursday night Awards show and

201
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:38,679
Speaker 4: that was very very impressed with the speech that George

202
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 4: Kittle gave.

203
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:42,200
Speaker 3: I thought it was very very professional. I like what

204
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 3: he did. The man of the people that was big.

205
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 3: I mean I didn't think he had it in him

206
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 3: to be honest.

207
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 2: Oh no, he's one of those guys that he's a man.

208
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 2: He's the people's champ, right. He's again big wrestling guy

209
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 2: too for what it's worth. But one of those guys

210
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 2: that you know, immunity wise, you know me leading the

211
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 2: tight end university man, anytime you can get a position

212
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 2: group together, Buck, I think you could agree with this

213
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:11,080
Speaker 2: if you can suddenly have everybody decide that this is

214
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:13,719
Speaker 2: a must go to event to try to learn from

215
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 2: each other and actually be one of the leaders to

216
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 2: open the door to hear's some tricks of the trade

217
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 2: I've learned. Man, that doesn't happen very often. I mean,

218
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,720
Speaker 2: think about our business. We get together and in the

219
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 2: entire time side I was waiting for a guy to

220
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 2: shive you.

221
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 4: But I will say this, you can go back and

222
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 4: say that you were happy that you had the NBA

223
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:35,840
Speaker 4: deal to have somebody to talk about during the week,

224
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 4: the big conversation.

225
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 3: I think that trumped everything this week.

226
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:43,679
Speaker 4: Was the Awards show and the fact that Lamar Jackson

227
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 4: I thought got screwed.

228
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:47,560
Speaker 2: Well, when we got to Thursday, CM Barkley got screwed.

229
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 3: It was stupid. I mean, the whole thing was ridiculous.

230
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 2: I do appreciate. Now we really get into the wheelhouse, Bucky,

231
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 2: you're thinking about the Montreal screw job, aren't you. Yeah,

232
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:02,960
Speaker 2: Brad Hart, Michaels, everybody, Yeah, let's go to watch another

233
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,680
Speaker 2: documentary before the kickoff and everything gets going on the

234
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 2: Fox pregame. But no, I mean once we got to Thursday,

235
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 2: then sure all bets were off between the Hall of Fame,

236
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 2: Jason Cole's going to join Bucky and I next hour.

237
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 2: He's a voter, he's in the room where it happens.

238
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:20,200
Speaker 2: Gave us a little bit of insight the other night

239
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 2: joined Smith and I briefly. It's got to talk about

240
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 2: to change in the process. But the Hall of Fame,

241
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:26,560
Speaker 2: we'll get to that in a couple of minutes here.

242
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 2: But from the award side of things, I'll ask this simply,

243
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:34,079
Speaker 2: and I actually posted the grid up in the Twitter verse.

244
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 2: They're all offensive players, right, that win all these quarterback MVPs,

245
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,439
Speaker 2: Yet year after year, they don't win Offensive Player of

246
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 2: the Year Saquon this year, Justin Jefferson in the past,

247
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 2: Cooper Cup in the past, Derrick Henry in the past,

248
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:52,559
Speaker 2: they didn't win MVP. So why are we all complaining

249
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,439
Speaker 2: about it this year? Why are we all mad this year?

250
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:58,080
Speaker 4: Well, I think he had a tumand this year, But

251
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 4: I think we knew going in as a quarterback trophy.

252
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 4: That's basically is is a quarterback trophy. But again, you're

253
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 4: talking about the trophies that were handed out, And I

254
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 4: talked about this Bucky early on Joe Burrow Comeback of

255
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 4: the Year. I mean really, I mean it's silly. I

256
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,960
Speaker 4: mean it just it doesn't make any sense some of

257
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 4: these awards that they give out. I just assume they

258
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 4: don't even have the awards to be honest.

259
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:22,560
Speaker 2: Ah, but what are we doing about him?

260
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 4: And I mean, Sam Donald's a Comeback Player of the Year,

261
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 4: not Joe Burrow.

262
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:31,679
Speaker 2: It's all Abroad criterion, by their criterion, he wasn't available

263
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 2: like they had fifteen guys that voted for him. But

264
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 2: to your point, Bucky, what what did he really come

265
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:37,960
Speaker 2: back from?

266
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:40,679
Speaker 4: And Joe Borrow came back injury and the fact that

267
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 4: he passed for forty nine hundred yards.

268
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 3: I guess that's it.

269
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 2: I mean, but then we played ten games last year.

270
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 2: But he actually did honey years ago.

271
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 4: The guy who was laying on his couch in his

272
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 4: house and they're calling him back to play. But he

273
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:55,320
Speaker 4: was a combat player of the year. When you come

274
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 4: back when no one expects you to do something, I

275
00:12:58,400 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 4: guess that's the comeback player.

276
00:12:59,559 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 3: Of the year.

277
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:02,440
Speaker 4: When you come out of nowhere, as Sam Donald came

278
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:05,200
Speaker 4: out of nowhere, he was on skid row with the Jets.

279
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:08,960
Speaker 2: Well it's been a minute since he was on the Jets,

280
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 2: but well I do like that you drag the Jets.

281
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:14,720
Speaker 2: I'll get some extra stuff in the mail for you

282
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:20,959
Speaker 2: this week. Can't thank you, boy, Buggy. The comeback player

283
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,440
Speaker 2: of the Year is one that drew some anks. I'm

284
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:26,560
Speaker 2: just wondering if you know this wasn't a let's go

285
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 2: all biblical on a Sunday morning and if you're heading

286
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 2: to and from a service, say an extra one for us.

287
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 2: As I make this analogy, it's to split the baby

288
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:34,679
Speaker 2: kind of thing.

289
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 5: It was to split the baby kind of thing. And

290
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 5: I don't necessarily like it because it didn't really make sense.

291
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 5: It doesn't make sense that the MVP is second team

292
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 5: All Pro. It doesn't make sense if you're saying the

293
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:49,560
Speaker 5: MVP is the best player in the league, why would

294
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 5: it be second team on the All Pro list, which

295
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 5: recognizes the best of the best. And so in doing that,

296
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,560
Speaker 5: it just created a situation where it does feel like

297
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 5: a participation trophy. It does feel like, oh, look at little,

298
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 5: poor little Josh. Let's get a little Joshi something to

299
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 5: go home with, you know. And so Joshi went to

300
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 5: the State Fair and came home with a Teddy Bear.

301
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 3: Let's get it. Because Lamar too.

302
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:17,319
Speaker 5: Like yeah, and so to me, it's just not it's

303
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 5: not how it should be, like if you're going to

304
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 5: do it. And I understand the narrative, but I say, like,

305
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 5: we on our side, that's what we do. About the

306
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 5: middle of the season, we start talking about Josh MVP.

307
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 5: He has those two games on national TV, the Rams

308
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:33,200
Speaker 5: and the Lions, respectively, where he puts up crazy numbers

309
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 5: and dominates two teams that were favored. But it just

310
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 5: kind of became this thing that a was gonna be

311
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 5: Josh's thing, and we couldn't necessarily use the numbers to

312
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 5: validate it, So then we had to talk about him

313
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 5: doing more with less. Even though Dean Dawkins is a

314
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 5: Pro Bowler and I know we don't really care about

315
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 5: the Pro Bowl, but that's the only way we can

316
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 5: recognize all stars in our sport. Dean Dawkins was the

317
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 5: only other Pro Bowlers that he played with, and so

318
00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 5: when you make that argument that he did more with less,

319
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 5: you can squint and see. Because no one thought Khalilshakur

320
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 5: would come out. Cam Coleman was young, Daal Kin Kid

321
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:09,119
Speaker 5: and Dawson Knox have not had the impact that we expected.

322
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 5: So it has to be Josh being a one man show.

323
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 5: And in a way he has been, but another way

324
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 5: he's just been kind of on the mark. But it

325
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 5: wasn't his best season. That's the thing I think does disappoint.

326
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 5: It wasn't the best season that we've seen from him,

327
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 5: yet he won it.

328
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, look, we going back to my Offensive

329
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 2: Player of the Year discussion, right, if we're going to

330
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 2: do that, and we got to bring that into the mix.

331
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 2: Christian McCaffrey had an All World last year, Lamar didn't. Right,

332
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 2: if we're going to do the statistical thing, shouldn't Christian

333
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 2: have won it last year, Well he didn't. Yeah, and

334
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 2: every year. Right, here's Barkley. You know, last offensive players

335
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 2: of the Year Ready Barkley, McCaffrey, Jefferson Cup, Henry, Michael Thomas.

336
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 2: Last quarterback was twenty eighteen before that, Todd Gurley, Matt Ryan,

337
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 2: cam Newton, DeMarco Murray, Peyton Manning, go back, Adrian Peterson.

338
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:06,640
Speaker 2: Then we get Breeze and Brady Chris Johnson. All I'm

339
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 2: saying is there's a bunch of running backs and wide

340
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 2: receivers that get their flowers there, but they're not eligible

341
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 2: for the MVP. So let's talk about what these awards

342
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 2: really are. And that's where for me. Look in the end,

343
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:20,520
Speaker 2: you could have given it to all three guys if

344
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 2: you wanted to. I think from Philly, I would have said,

345
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 2: I'll send my vote in for the offensive line again,

346
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 2: again owing to the success guys like DeAndre Swift, Boston

347
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 2: Scott and others have had in that offense in the past.

348
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 2: No disrespect to Sakuon Barkley, but it's.

349
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 5: Got to be disrespectful compared to Scott the Boston.

350
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 2: But the point is no, no, obviously he's a much

351
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 2: better player but I'm saying Philadelphia has had success running

352
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 2: the football with a number of guys in the past,

353
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 2: and they've won a lot of games in the past. True,

354
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 2: I mean, that's not wrong. And Lamar last year won

355
00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 2: thirteen games, and you bring up and you bring in

356
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 2: Derek Henry and I know they're supposed to be individual years,

357
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 2: but we're human beings. And the hardest part for me

358
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:11,679
Speaker 2: for the AP versus the MVP is that you've got

359
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:14,720
Speaker 2: the same people voting, Like that's the hardest that's the

360
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 2: part that doesn't make sense, like if they're two different

361
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 2: electing bodies. But do we have a clear, clear definition

362
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:28,360
Speaker 2: of what MVP really means? Bucky, No, No, we don't, right,

363
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 2: But that's the point. It's like, so you can say, Okay, statistically,

364
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:36,200
Speaker 2: Lamar's better over here, say nothing about a five touchdown

365
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 2: game against a hapless Giants team, say nothing about another

366
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:42,679
Speaker 2: five touchdown game here, like we're doing that with Josh Allen,

367
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:44,720
Speaker 2: and suddenly just saying, well, those two games account for

368
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:48,760
Speaker 2: a quarter of his push those to the side. It's like, no, no,

369
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 2: we can't pick and choose.

370
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:52,720
Speaker 4: But not only did Lamar Jackson lose several votes in

371
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 4: the first place voting.

372
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 3: He got a fourth place vote.

373
00:17:57,040 --> 00:18:00,200
Speaker 4: Someone gave him a fourth place Well, somebody left off

374
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 4: the ballots, So I mean what I mean.

375
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 5: That's that's also crazy too though, because I'm glad they

376
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:08,200
Speaker 5: put everybody on blast. That was Jim Miller, former quarterback

377
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:11,399
Speaker 5: of the Bears, who instills put the Bears.

378
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 2: He yeah, Jims, Jim's got got some thoughts on worldview

379
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:18,600
Speaker 2: and and all that, you know, kind of.

380
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 5: Fourth place that that come on like like what like

381
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:24,119
Speaker 5: what are we doing? Like all of that stuff.

382
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 3: So there was that sounds to me like a personal thing.

383
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:28,639
Speaker 2: Well, but that also is how much weight did he

384
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 2: put on? Because I mean, the first eight weeks of

385
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:32,280
Speaker 2: the year, Bucket, we were talking a lot about Derreck

386
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:34,119
Speaker 2: Henry as an MVP candidate, weren't we.

387
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:36,119
Speaker 1: Uh?

388
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:38,359
Speaker 5: I mean we were, yeah, I mean like he was

389
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 5: up there, I mean looking at nineteen hundred yards. I

390
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:43,639
Speaker 5: mean he certainly that that also can't qualify. But the

391
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 5: difference is Derrick Henry didn't get any MVP votes. Like

392
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 5: if we're gonna split the baby in terms of that,

393
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 5: and you're gonna say the Baltimore Ravens success was heavily

394
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 5: influenced by what Derrick Henry did, then Derrick Henry's name

395
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:58,919
Speaker 5: should have popped up on ballast. It wasn't. And so

396
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:02,360
Speaker 5: that's the thing. And I don't really have an issue

397
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 5: with Josh Allen winning. I just think these things have

398
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 5: become more media narrative and fodder then really recognition for

399
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:14,240
Speaker 5: the greatness that people display on the field. We decided

400
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 5: middle of the season that Josh Allen deserves to be

401
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 5: the MVP. We started talking about him people, you know,

402
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:23,239
Speaker 5: they repeat what they hear, they regurgitate what they hear

403
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 5: on telecast and those things, and so it became Josh

404
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:30,160
Speaker 5: Allen should be MVP, even though his numbers didn't make

405
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 5: it like that, because there were a number of games

406
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:36,320
Speaker 5: where we had less than two hundred yards passing and

407
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 5: then his touchdowns. I mean, if we're gonna be honest,

408
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:41,439
Speaker 5: like he had a bunch of one and two yard touchdowns,

409
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 5: you know, like that's cool. I am recognizing that he

410
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:47,639
Speaker 5: did a lot with a team that wasn't expected to

411
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:49,639
Speaker 5: not only win the division, but wasn't expected to make

412
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:51,680
Speaker 5: a run. He did that, and so I'm okay with

413
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:54,920
Speaker 5: him getting it. I just think it's disingenuous to name

414
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:58,200
Speaker 5: one person first team All Pro, but then that same

415
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:01,240
Speaker 5: person is not aimed MVP when his backup on the

416
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:03,879
Speaker 5: All Pro team is. It's just illogical.

417
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:05,919
Speaker 4: And the stats this year we have been in the

418
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 4: two MVP years that he had at twenty nineteen and

419
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 4: twenty twenty three. Here's the major problem, not who won

420
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 4: the award, how they give the award. Because the MVP

421
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 4: award is voted on by fifty voters who were selected

422
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 4: by the Associated Press, But those same fifty voters vote

423
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 4: on the All Pro team. So if you want to

424
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:24,879
Speaker 4: have two separate teams with two separate votes, have a

425
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,919
Speaker 4: hundred people of fifty people on this board, have fifty

426
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:30,480
Speaker 4: people on this board, you know, have the AP vote

427
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 4: for one and have the Pro Football ruters vote for

428
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 4: the other. That's all you gotta. Don't have to say

429
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 4: people voting for both.

430
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:39,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, like I said, and they split the baby. It's

431
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 2: like it's the all right, And you didn't need a

432
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:44,960
Speaker 2: lot of people to flip, right. I mean it, as

433
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 2: much as you know, you look at point gathering and

434
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 2: everything for the All Pro versus the versus the MVP vote,

435
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 2: it only took you know, a handful of people to

436
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 2: flip first place votes and you could say, well, they're

437
00:20:56,880 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 2: both gonna be served to a degree, right, depending on

438
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:04,239
Speaker 2: what you like, right and what your narrative becomes as

439
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 2: how you frame a guy's career. Because Pro Bowls meant

440
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 2: a lot twenty five years ago. Now it's you show

441
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 2: up to the Pro Bowl games and maybe you hit

442
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:16,160
Speaker 2: a target forty yards downfield, or you play some flag

443
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:20,880
Speaker 2: football and a bunch of guys. Yeah, juice, Yeah, call

444
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:21,399
Speaker 2: it the skill.

445
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 5: No, yeah, but it is. But like I always think

446
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 5: about it, not necessarily in the game itself, right, because

447
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 5: people are mad because people won't play Pro Bowls with

448
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 5: the same vigor and zest that a regular season game

449
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 5: has played. But it's an exhibition game. It's an extra game.

450
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 5: No one is going to play hard and get hurt

451
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:41,639
Speaker 5: in that game when it's going to impact free agent status,

452
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 5: long term contracts and those things. But where the Pro

453
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:47,720
Speaker 5: Bowls matter is when it comes down to legacy and

454
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:50,440
Speaker 5: coming off of the Hall of Fame stuff, when people

455
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:55,119
Speaker 5: are beginning to build their resumes and support that MVP

456
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 5: matters for Josh Allen as he aims to have a

457
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:02,920
Speaker 5: gold jacket having being a two time versus a three

458
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:06,720
Speaker 5: time MVP matters when it comes to being Lamar Jackson

459
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:09,960
Speaker 5: in that Hall of Fame. Vote Like, no, it doesn't

460
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:11,200
Speaker 5: matter right now.

461
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 3: It didn't help it.

462
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:13,879
Speaker 5: Like in twenty years it will matter.

463
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:16,199
Speaker 2: Well, we'll get into Eli here in a minute, as

464
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 2: well as some of the other guys because snub was

465
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:21,679
Speaker 2: one of the words of the week as well. Last thing,

466
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 2: let me just.

467
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 3: Say one thing.

468
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 4: You know you talk about you know, guys don't want

469
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 4: to put out that much in the Pro Bowl.

470
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:30,440
Speaker 3: Back in the day when the Pro Bowl was in Hawaii.

471
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:34,199
Speaker 4: When in Hawaii, okay, and people were making less money,

472
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 4: they put out. Then now they're making big money. They

473
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:38,720
Speaker 4: don't even want to play in the game. I don't

474
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:42,680
Speaker 4: get it. What's changed. They loved going to Hawaii and

475
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 4: they weren't making the kind of money they make it today,

476
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:46,680
Speaker 4: and they played hard in that game.

477
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:48,720
Speaker 3: So what happened? What changed?

478
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:51,880
Speaker 5: Well, the longer they played hard because they weren't making

479
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 5: that much money. So their Pro Bowl bonus had a

480
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 5: significant impact. But if you're talking about people making fifty

481
00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:02,280
Speaker 5: million annually, a fifty thousand dollars bonus for the Pro Bowl,

482
00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 5: it's not gonna be enough to really make them get

483
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:08,040
Speaker 5: after it. Whereas when guys weren't making that much, and

484
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 5: you're talking about top of the line, because I think

485
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:12,639
Speaker 5: quarterbacks were maybe at two or three million dollars. With

486
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 5: a fifty thousand is significant and so you play a

487
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 5: little harder for that. The money has changed everything. The

488
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 5: more money players, Yeah, the more money the players make,

489
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:26,360
Speaker 5: the less likely they're going to risk themselves on. The

490
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:30,399
Speaker 5: thing is risk versus reward. If I risk myself, my

491
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 5: reward is not great enough to make me fully put

492
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 5: out in a Pro Bowl game.

493
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 2: Not to mention, you just went through a longer season, right,

494
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:41,399
Speaker 2: added games, added work, even if you've cut off some

495
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:44,080
Speaker 2: of the front end, which is why we saw see

496
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 2: bad football by a lot of teams in September. Andy,

497
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:48,720
Speaker 2: you might know a thing or two about that.

498
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 3: There's a shot.

499
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:53,359
Speaker 2: Okay, well, you always bring up the Bengals. I'll do

500
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:56,320
Speaker 2: it here for us. I mean, well, they would have

501
00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 2: liked to have one of those Septembers back, Sure you do.

502
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:02,480
Speaker 2: You asked me about the Bears every week this year.

503
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:06,639
Speaker 2: I could have them play back the tape. Okay, well,

504
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:10,440
Speaker 2: speaking by the way, it's the last thing though, Bucky,

505
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:13,639
Speaker 2: just to finish point. You can also blame the Jets

506
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:16,480
Speaker 2: for Josh Allen winning the MVP. If Aaron Rodgers and

507
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:19,399
Speaker 2: company had actually done their job, the Bills would have

508
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:21,199
Speaker 2: finished second or third in the division. And we're not

509
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 2: even having this debate. Bucky go ahead.

510
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 5: Oh no, Speaking of Bears somber moment, Dick jurn from

511
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 5: a here coach to the Bears and the Buffalo Giles,

512
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:32,919
Speaker 5: my former decordinated with jacksonanth Jaguars, passed away.

513
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:34,679
Speaker 3: The Bears.

514
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 2: Yeah that was a big year.

515
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:41,399
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, that I've ever been around in terms of

516
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:44,639
Speaker 5: just like kind, compassionate, consider a great job of building

517
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 5: people up. Sad day for him, and then so it's

518
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:48,760
Speaker 5: kind of a sad week for the Bears in general.

519
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 5: Virginia McCaskey passing away one.

520
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:56,399
Speaker 2: That's a hell of a run. And the last one or.

521
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 5: Two before taking a knee.

522
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 3: I'll take one O two. That's like a FM numbers

523
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 3: one O two.

524
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:04,320
Speaker 2: We're on some FM stations. Watch the ferret those out

525

526
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 2: last point Virginia mccassey, last football moment beating the Packers.

527
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:15,200
Speaker 2: So good, good times there. But yeah, one hundred and

528
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:17,000
Speaker 2: two years now, do you have a lot of It

529
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:19,200
Speaker 2: was a pre show conversation Mark and I were having

530
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:22,359
Speaker 2: about the Bears and well, what the direction of the

531
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 2: franchise is now, Like what kind of battle you get

532
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 2: behind the scenes that may have been brewing the will

533
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 2: right when you talk about legacy and succession plans and

534
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:37,480
Speaker 2: whether you bring in private equity money or other partners

535
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 2: to try to get your stadium deal pushed through. Kevin

536
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 2: Warrens made some progress, but as we know, the wheels

537
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:47,679
Speaker 2: of big city politics get bogged down a little bit,

538
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 2: and they're still trying to get.

539
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:51,160

571
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:30,960
Speaker 2: used to be able to. So a little bit of tourism.

572
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:32,359
Speaker 2: So if you guys want to get on a plane,

573
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:34,520

574

Speaker 2: No no takers on that one. All right, good, good enough?

575
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:44,560
Speaker 2: Like carbon alongside Andy Furman, Bucky Brooks. I thought that

576
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:46,239
Speaker 2: would have gotten a little more wow. I could go

577
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 2: and do the drink wheel at the Link, or I

578
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 2: go see a show, maybe a little Penn and Teller.

579
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:54,200
Speaker 2: I don't know, whatever floats you. We've got the full

580
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 2: day of activity here Fox Sports Radio, blessed to be

581
00:27:57,119 --> 00:28:01,480
Speaker 2: with you as always, some fun speed conversation to get

582
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:05,480
Speaker 2: things started as well for thirty teams already into the

583
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:08,200
Speaker 2: silly season, figuring it out, but talking a lot about

584
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:12,679
Speaker 2: the NFL honors, the MVP Award and trying to figure

585
00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:18,720
Speaker 2: out clarity and clarifications and continuity amongst people. And at

586
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 2: least here we get the names of people. They have

587
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:23,919
Speaker 2: to tell us who they are major League Baseball for

588
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:25,679
Speaker 2: the Baseball Hall of Fame. Did you guys see how

589
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:28,880
Speaker 2: many people we don't know who they are seventy three

590
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 2: seventy three people voted on the Hall of Fame and

591
00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:34,280
Speaker 2: we have no idea who were, what they voted for,

592
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:37,879
Speaker 2: or whether their family dog sent their stuff back. So

593
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:40,920
Speaker 2: at least some level of accountability here now when it

594
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:41,360
Speaker 2: comes to.

595
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 3: The host, that good though. I mean, I'll tell you why.

596
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:45,840
Speaker 4: In this day and age, you know you have that

597
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:49,440
Speaker 4: transparency and people know who's voting for whom you know

598
00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:51,880
Speaker 4: someone's going to send us with threatening leathers. I mean,

599
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:54,240
Speaker 4: that's just the way. That's the society we live in today.

600
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 4: I mean, if I'm a voter and I'm the loan

601
00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:01,720
Speaker 4: voter who didn't vote for some one, I don't want

602
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:04,680
Speaker 4: my name. Jim Miller probably getting some hate mail right now,

603
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:05,760
Speaker 4: don't you think.

604
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 2: Well, Jim, Jim's well one, he's a big boy, and

605
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:11,120
Speaker 2: he'll put his name on it. If I know Jim

606
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:13,200
Speaker 2: at all, Like I worked with Jim a couple of

607
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 2: times years in the past. He's usually not one to

608
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 2: mince words, so he'll he'll go on his radio shows.

609
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:23,360
Speaker 2: I'm sure he'll be on somewhere today or has been

610
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:26,920
Speaker 2: already defending it or explaining it as it were. And

611
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:29,040
Speaker 2: to your point, Andy, I agree with you. I mean,

612
00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:31,560
Speaker 2: look at what Nico Harrison and the folks in Dallas

613
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:35,560
Speaker 2: are dealing with after trading Luka doncic right. It does

614
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:36,760
Speaker 2: bring out the lunatic fringe.

615
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:38,720
Speaker 4: There's no tu the Mavericks want to give money back

616
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:42,800
Speaker 4: to fans about returning money to ticket holders.

617
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:44,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, so it was it was up to two thousand dollars.

618
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 2: So what they're saying is we can get other people

619
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:50,720
Speaker 2: to fill the three hundred level that the city's big enough.

620
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 2: Because I did the math, on average, it's one hundred

621
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:57,440
Speaker 2: and seventeen bucks a remaining home game for the two

622
00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:02,120
Speaker 2: thousand dollars maximum that was being reported. So you know,

623
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:04,520
Speaker 2: that's a decent chunk of change.

624
00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 3: And you don't think that GM is getting some heat.

625
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:06,720
Speaker 3: Oh no.

626
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:08,760
Speaker 2: But that's my point is that he is right. They've

627
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 2: had to have extra security reports of threats on him,

628
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:15,400
Speaker 2: et cetera. So that point is well taken. But if

629
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:19,480
Speaker 2: you're gonna put your vote out for something with that

630
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 2: level of substance, be it an MVP vote, be it

631
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:25,920
Speaker 2: a hall of fame. To Bucky's point about what it

632
00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 2: does for these people's lives, I tell you from being

633
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:31,760
Speaker 2: in the collecting space forever, being able to put down

634
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:36,080
Speaker 2: X time Pro Bowl, X time All Pro Hall of

635
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:38,920
Speaker 2: Fame year. I mean, that's an extra hundred bucks the

636
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:41,440
Speaker 2: signature added for the rest of your life.

637
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 3: You know, it's funny you mentioned that.

638
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:46,680
Speaker 4: Because I'm a member of the College Football Writers and

639
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:48,720
Speaker 4: the Pro Football Rights and I get the ballot. I

640
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:51,360
Speaker 4: don't vote, and I tell him I don't think i'm qualified.

641
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:53,480
Speaker 4: I don't see enough games, and I don't want to

642
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:57,000
Speaker 4: put someone's future not in jeopardy. But it's not fast.

643
00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:59,360
Speaker 4: I don't vote on a lot of those deals. I

644
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 4: just don't. I don't think it's right because I haven't

645
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 4: seen enough games, and I really I don't want to

646
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:08,440
Speaker 4: take the time to keep stats on every single deal.

647
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:10,600
Speaker 4: So I write, I send the ballot back with little

648
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 4: notes say thank you so much. I still want to

649
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:15,840
Speaker 4: remain a member, but I'm not a voting member, and

650
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:17,520
Speaker 4: I can if I want to, but I just don't.

651
00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:18,480
Speaker 3: I don't think it's right.

652
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:25,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's one of those things where, look, I'm glad

653
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:28,280
Speaker 5: they put it out there. I think with voting members,

654
00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 5: I think some of the names on the panel were

655
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:34,760
Speaker 5: certainly interesting. Some of those guys were not I would

656
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:38,200
Speaker 5: say full time NFL devotees. And so you look up

657
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:41,000
Speaker 5: and they have a vote, You're like, okay.

658
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:44,320
Speaker 2: Just did right size of platform?

659
00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:49,000
Speaker 5: Or yeah? Right, yeah, I mean friends of the program,

660
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:53,120
Speaker 5: have you like membership has this privilege. It is it

661
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:56,920
Speaker 5: is a very unique list. And at a time, and

662
00:31:57,360 --> 00:32:00,360
Speaker 5: we'll say this like, journalism is under attack. I don't

663
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:05,360
Speaker 5: know how many true journalists were included in the MVP voting.

664
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:08,680
Speaker 5: You know, Uh, it's just it's just it's just a

665
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:09,320
Speaker 5: different time.

666
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:12,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, And so many journalists aren't permitted to vote because

667
00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:13,560
Speaker 4: if you write for the New York Times, and I

668
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:16,480
Speaker 4: consider those people journalists, they're not permitted to vote.

669
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:18,360
Speaker 3: They can't vote anymore. That's part of the deal.

670
00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:20,160
Speaker 2: Well, and that and that's where we get into, right,

671
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 2: certain entities have said, hey, we're not participating in votes

672
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:28,200
Speaker 2: like this, and then you have others where it's it's clear,

673
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:31,920
Speaker 2: I mean, you're more an opinionist, and the journalism has

674
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:35,800
Speaker 2: become a little jay or it's been erased altogether, and

675
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:43,000
Speaker 2: it's journalism and showmanship above whatever the whatever the journalistic

676
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:46,560
Speaker 2: ethics and creeds are. I mean, let's call it what

677
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:49,920
Speaker 2: it is. From radio to television, et cetera. That line

678
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:53,000
Speaker 2: has certainly been blurred in our space for a long

679
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:56,960
Speaker 2: long time, right where guys have their personal and women

680
00:32:57,040 --> 00:32:59,920
Speaker 2: have their personal biases, people they've run into, and you

681
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 2: can tell me to your blue in the face if

682
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:04,320
Speaker 2: you're a voter for those things that none, no, no,

683
00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:06,440
Speaker 2: none of that matters. We're humans again.

684
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:07,920
Speaker 3: I don't consider a.

685
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:11,800
Speaker 4: TV broadcaster, sportscaster, a journalist number one, number two. If

686
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:14,680
Speaker 4: that guy goes into a locker room and he's being

687
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:17,720
Speaker 4: shunned by an athlete, there's a real good chance he's

688
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:19,240
Speaker 4: not going to vote for that guy when he's on

689
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:19,760
Speaker 4: the ballot.

690
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:21,400
Speaker 3: That's just the way it is. It's human nature.

691
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:23,680
Speaker 2: Well, especially if you only have a certain number, like

692
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:25,840
Speaker 2: for baseball, there's no it makes no sense because you

693
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:28,560
Speaker 2: could vote for up to ten. So I mean, if

694
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:32,720
Speaker 2: you can't get ten guys in your personal feelings really

695
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:35,560
Speaker 2: taking on that deep dark path, that's a whole other thing.

696
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:37,320
Speaker 2: But I guess the point I was trying to make

697
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:40,360
Speaker 2: was like with seventy three not I get your point about,

698
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:43,280
Speaker 2: you know, the fear of reprisal, little bit andy, But

699
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:48,080
Speaker 2: there's also something too. I think you should be beholden

700
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 2: to put your name on it in this because it

701
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:54,280
Speaker 2: does affect people's lives, It does affect people's money, how

702
00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:58,800
Speaker 2: they're looked at historically, and all of those things, you know,

703
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:02,200
Speaker 2: and it's in in theory. You you got the vote

704
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:06,760
Speaker 2: because you've shown the the ethics, the history, uh, et

705
00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 2: cetera to have earned said vote. So why why would

706
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:12,239
Speaker 2: you hide from who you voted for?

707
00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:14,200
Speaker 4: Well, who's the one guy who did vote for Marianna

708
00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:16,040
Speaker 4: Rivera for the Baseball Hall of Fame?

709
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:20,680
Speaker 2: Well, Mariano got in unanimously. Jeter and Intro didn't.

710
00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:22,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, right.

711
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:25,319
Speaker 2: The intro thing is there was a parody account that

712
00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:27,920
Speaker 2: got some runs, so good on him on that, but

713
00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:30,279
Speaker 2: as of now they have not ferreted that one guy

714
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:33,799
Speaker 2: out realistically, although Etro did say he'd love to sit

715
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:36,560
Speaker 2: and have a drink with him to talk it out. So,

716
00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:39,000
Speaker 2: I mean, you got you got that. But but certainly

717
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:41,839
Speaker 2: you know it's I get the volatility of it, and

718
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:44,640
Speaker 2: some of it for your own protection, but the reality

719
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:47,600
Speaker 2: is also, you know, because it does affect things in

720
00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:51,040
Speaker 2: a very real sense, and how history sees a lot

721
00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:54,360
Speaker 2: of these guys, uh that will we'll have those debates.

722
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:58,080
Speaker 2: Uh and with that said, will continue by having said

723
00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:02,360
Speaker 2: debate Eli maybe Luke Keith, maybe there's a walrust like

724
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:04,840
Speaker 2: coach that should have gotten in. Let's talk about those next.

Speaker 3: Yeah, that's it.

759
00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:46,680
Speaker 2: We gotta we gotta go. We gotta go scouting into

Speaker 2: my emays say.

761
00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:49,920
Speaker 4: For several teams that we go for those going with

762
00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:52,719
Speaker 4: those various markets and give a little extra cash like

763
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:54,440
Speaker 4: in Green Bay and other markets.

764
00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:56,600
Speaker 2: See, that's that's the way you go. And that's a

Speaker 2: Allen find their way in Antonio Gates second year on

769
00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:13,640

770
00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:15,759
Speaker 2: with him getting in last year seemed to be more

771
00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:19,760
Speaker 2: a substantive thing as related to maybe the ped test

772
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:22,239
Speaker 2: that kept him out a year, right, the old hey

773
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:25,880

775
00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:30,040
Speaker 2: that honor.

776
00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:32,440
Speaker 3: Smallest class in twenty years.

777
00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:35,200
Speaker 2: Well, they changed the voting rules, and this is where

778
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:38,239
Speaker 2: it starts to get interesting. It's a little more restrictive.

779
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:40,440
Speaker 2: Jason Cole joined us next Hour to talk about it

780
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:43,400
Speaker 2: a little bit more, but in terms of those thresholds

781
00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:48,480
Speaker 2: from the fifteen and down that it's going to get squeezed,

782
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:50,920
Speaker 2: which is interesting. So those guys that didn't make it

783
00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:54,080
Speaker 2: this year, they might be waiting a while. Eli Manning,

784
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:57,120
Speaker 2: what did you guys think when it came out? So

785
00:37:57,239 --> 00:37:58,480
Speaker 2: strong feelings either way?

786
00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:02,239
Speaker 5: Bucky, I don't think he's a Hall of Famer. I

787
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:04,200
Speaker 5: respect the two rings, but he's not a Hall of Famer.

788
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:05,879
Speaker 5: And no time doing his career did I ever feel

789
00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:08,160
Speaker 5: like he's a top five quarterback. And if you're not

790
00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:10,239
Speaker 5: a top five quarterback doing your era, how can you

791
00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:13,320
Speaker 5: be a goal jackie guy? The Hall of Famer is

792
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:15,640
Speaker 5: for the elite of the elites. He wasn't elite enough.

793
00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:17,000
Speaker 2: Yikes.

794
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:19,279
Speaker 4: I changed my mind on that because I felt the

795
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:21,319
Speaker 4: same way Bucket did for the longest time. And then

796
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:23,200
Speaker 4: we've got the two rings and he has the demanding name.

797
00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:25,839
Speaker 4: But I looked at his stats. I mean, top ten

798
00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:28,719
Speaker 4: old time in passing and touchdowns and more than that.

799
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:31,839
Speaker 4: You know, I understand that his record was just over

800
00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:34,400
Speaker 4: five hundred, but Dan Fouts was two games of a

801
00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:36,000
Speaker 4: five hundred and war and Moon was a game of

802
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:38,279
Speaker 4: a five hundred. I think the two Super Bowl rings

803
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:39,960
Speaker 4: mean something. I think he's a Hall of Famer Now,

804
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:43,000
Speaker 4: I really do pass for fifty seven thousand aards. I

805
00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:44,960
Speaker 4: mean that's a lot of the yards and three in

806
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:47,680
Speaker 4: the sixty six career touchdowns and never missed the game

807
00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:48,720
Speaker 4: in sixteen seasons.

808
00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:51,319
Speaker 2: And you'll appreciate this. Some of the explanation is that

809
00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:55,879
Speaker 2: there was a lot of hand ringing and very vociferous

810
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:59,080
Speaker 2: work by current Hall of Fame members to try to

811
00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:05,399
Speaker 2: make the pulling the electing body revisit their conversations. All right,

812
00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:07,320
Speaker 2: since we're gonna lose you here, in a minute, Andy,

813
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:10,120
Speaker 2: your Super Bowl pick? Who's the MVP?

814
00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:15,319
Speaker 4: Oh wow, Eagles are going to win it. I think

815
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:18,280
Speaker 4: their quarterback Hurts will get the MVP.

816
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:22,080
Speaker 2: A little bit of Jalen Hurts love, which is fun

817
00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:24,279
Speaker 2: because a guy get into his second Super Bowl has

818
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:26,800
Speaker 2: been like, you know, Anthony Davis getting traded to Dallas.

819
00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:30,239
Speaker 2: He's just a guy. At least that would be the

820
00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:34,200
Speaker 2: narrative that we've had here this last week. And Andy

821
00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:37,799
Speaker 2: Furman FSRS where you find him at Bucky Brooks. I'm

822
00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:41,160
Speaker 2: over at Swollen Dome. We're gonna continue the conversation as

823
00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:43,920
Speaker 2: we roll through. Revisit a little more of Saquon Barkley.

824
00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:50,320
Speaker 2: Does the line make the man vision versus the surroundings?

825
00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:53,640
Speaker 2: We'll do that as we continue next on Fox Football Sunday.

826
00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:57,280
Speaker 2: Blessed to be with you another hour. Welcome in wherever

Speaker 2: I'm Mike Carmon, thanks for being with us. It's our

840
00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:44,120
Speaker 2: guy Bucky Brooks on the other side of the microphones here,

841
00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:46,680
Speaker 2: five years in the league, NFL dot com, Fox sports

842
00:40:46,719 --> 00:40:50,080
Speaker 2: dot com, all the writing. His first mock draft is up,

Speaker 2: and fortunes of your favorite squads as we get ready

845
00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:58,520
Speaker 2: for the final game of the year. Bucky, I'm jacked

846
00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:02,200
Speaker 2: up about it. I'm kind of sad, but also great

847
00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:05,560
Speaker 2: anticipation for what we're going to see later on today.

848
00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:09,080
Speaker 5: Yeah. No, this would be a lot of fun. You know,

849
00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:10,879
Speaker 5: you have two of the best teams, and I will

850
00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:12,680
Speaker 5: say that two of the best teams should play in

851
00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:14,440
Speaker 5: the Super Bowl. And you have that, you have the

852
00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:16,720
Speaker 5: most talented team in the football in the National Football

853
00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:20,240
Speaker 5: League in Phildephia Eagles. You have the two time defending

854
00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:22,719
Speaker 5: champions and the Kansity Chiefs who have an opportunity to

855
00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:25,719
Speaker 5: go with three peet this is how it should go,

856
00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:28,480
Speaker 5: and so either team don't have a dog in the race.

857
00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:30,239
Speaker 5: I don't really care, but like, this should be a

858
00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:31,680
Speaker 5: lot of fun to see how this plays out.

859
00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:34,640
Speaker 2: I just want entertainment and for the final four minutes

860
00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:37,839
Speaker 2: to matter and that I wake up tomorrow and it's

861
00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:42,000
Speaker 2: not people doing zibruder film on what could have been

862
00:41:42,040 --> 00:41:45,920
Speaker 2: a hold a hand inside a jersey or any of

863
00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:49,080
Speaker 2: that nonsense to where the officials can stay off and

864
00:41:49,560 --> 00:41:52,480
Speaker 2: never land. I know that's wishing and hoping, and that

865
00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:55,479
Speaker 2: means I've been watching a lot of Disney Princess movies again,

866
00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:59,320
Speaker 2: revisiting those with my teenage daughters as they wax poetically

867
00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:02,359
Speaker 2: about their younger years. But it's that kind of thing,

868
00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:05,479
Speaker 2: just hoping that we get great performances. In to your point,

869
00:42:05,560 --> 00:42:08,360
Speaker 2: you know I'm making and you and I trade the

870
00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:11,759
Speaker 2: wrestling references. It's it's kind of nice to see the

871
00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:14,760
Speaker 2: defending champ have to be knocked off on the biggest

872
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:17,880
Speaker 2: stage by a team that from pillar to post we

873
00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:23,120
Speaker 2: look at having a great assembly of talent and a

874
00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:27,479
Speaker 2: coach that is perhaps the biggest enigma of it all.

875
00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:31,480
Speaker 2: Despite all the winning, there's still the whispers and maybe

876
00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:33,799
Speaker 2: it's the lunatic fringe, kind of like Ryan Day with

877
00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:37,120
Speaker 2: Ohio State Bucky. But the if he doesn't win and

878
00:42:37,239 --> 00:42:40,640
Speaker 2: Sirianni and the Eagles fall short, could the ownership do

879
00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:43,520
Speaker 2: something rash as he's going into the final year of

880
00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:46,680
Speaker 2: his deal. But a guy that feels like I'm not

881
00:42:46,719 --> 00:42:49,880
Speaker 2: a huge legacy tak guy. I like to let things

882
00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:52,560
Speaker 2: play out and let's see where the final chips are

883
00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:56,040
Speaker 2: and comparing eras or whatever. But Nick Sirianni a guy

884
00:42:56,280 --> 00:42:59,200
Speaker 2: when we talk about legacy making. Today seems to be

885
00:42:59,239 --> 00:43:01,440
Speaker 2: it for him.

886
00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:05,239
Speaker 5: Yeah, lke, this is big. And once again we talked

887
00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:08,959
Speaker 5: about in the College Football Playoff the pressure on Ryan

888
00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:11,560
Speaker 5: Day and how would he respond. He responded by playing,

889
00:43:11,719 --> 00:43:14,400
Speaker 5: I would say, coaching his best yep, you know. And

890
00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:16,360
Speaker 5: so this is what we need to see from Nick Sirianne.

891
00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:18,640
Speaker 5: I've long believed that he's one of the best coaches

892
00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:20,239
Speaker 5: in the league. Just look at his rugger. He's won

893
00:43:20,280 --> 00:43:22,440
Speaker 5: over seventy percent of his game since taken over as

894
00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:25,239
Speaker 5: head coach. The thing that you always worry about with

895
00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:30,200
Speaker 5: Nick Sirianna and the Eagles emotional maturity. Can he keep

896
00:43:30,239 --> 00:43:33,279
Speaker 5: his emotions in check in the biggest moments of the

897
00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:35,959
Speaker 5: game to guide his team like a good leader does.

898
00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:39,480
Speaker 5: That's what you want, you want to see. But everything

899
00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:41,960
Speaker 5: that a good leader is supposed to do, he's already done.

900
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:44,880
Speaker 5: They started off struggling, He fixed them. They were disappointing

901
00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:47,239
Speaker 5: last year. He got them back on track. He made

902
00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:50,600
Speaker 5: change the coordinated position to help get this offense and

903
00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:54,080
Speaker 5: defense to an elite level. He certainly has all the

904
00:43:54,120 --> 00:43:56,759
Speaker 5: qualities that you look for in a head coach. Is

905
00:43:57,040 --> 00:44:01,080
Speaker 5: just the emotional part of him, this personality that you

906
00:44:01,120 --> 00:44:01,680
Speaker 5: worry about.

907
00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:05,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's the curiosity right in those final moments,

908
00:44:05,239 --> 00:44:07,479
Speaker 2: the act like you've been there before, the old Barry

909
00:44:07,520 --> 00:44:10,759
Speaker 2: Sanders flipped the ball to the referee, now extended to

910
00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:13,880
Speaker 2: the coaching box and to your players for that to

911
00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:17,200
Speaker 2: that matter. But you know, we talked a little bit

912
00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:20,360
Speaker 2: last hour. And look, if you go into the MVP

913
00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:23,640
Speaker 2: odds in your in your betting channels, you basically have

914
00:44:23,719 --> 00:44:26,319
Speaker 2: it's a three man race, right, it's the two quarterbacks

915
00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:30,200
Speaker 2: and Saquon Barkley are the prohibitive favorites in terms of

916
00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:33,239
Speaker 2: where money's leaning. The amount of prop bet money being

917
00:44:33,280 --> 00:44:37,200
Speaker 2: put down on Saquon Barkley immense. Bill Krackenberger will break

918
00:44:37,200 --> 00:44:39,240
Speaker 2: that down for you next hour. Some of the numbers

919
00:44:39,280 --> 00:44:42,719
Speaker 2: are absolutely staggering, and the countdown to kickoff presented by

920
00:44:42,719 --> 00:44:46,560
Speaker 2: bet MGM joins us after we're finished today. All the

921
00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:49,120
Speaker 2: stuff to help find the edge and get you that

922
00:44:49,239 --> 00:44:51,840
Speaker 2: much smarter as you go to your Super Bowl parties

923
00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:55,520
Speaker 2: or maybe hit the the apps across the land. But

924
00:44:56,239 --> 00:44:58,439
Speaker 2: all of that to say, you know, when we look

925
00:44:58,480 --> 00:45:01,080
Speaker 2: at the setup Jalen hurts it guy who's kind of

926
00:45:01,080 --> 00:45:04,280
Speaker 2: been dismissed from me, I'm curious where he is physically Bucky.

927
00:45:04,320 --> 00:45:07,279
Speaker 2: I mean the two weeks obviously help, but how much

928
00:45:07,320 --> 00:45:09,959
Speaker 2: of a factor the knee is. I see the over

929
00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:12,440
Speaker 2: under for his rushing yard sitting at an ice robust

930
00:45:12,480 --> 00:45:14,640
Speaker 2: thirty seven and a half, which would lead me to

931
00:45:14,640 --> 00:45:18,839
Speaker 2: believe Vegas and whatever intel they've got things that he'll

932
00:45:18,880 --> 00:45:21,920
Speaker 2: be at full throttle to help compliment things in the offense.

933
00:45:23,320 --> 00:45:25,759
Speaker 5: Yeah, I exped him to be at full speed. I

934
00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:27,319
Speaker 5: just fed him to be the same guy that he's

935
00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:30,359
Speaker 5: been in terms of being a dominant run it with

936
00:45:30,400 --> 00:45:33,760
Speaker 5: some big time potential to help you as a sidekick

937
00:45:33,840 --> 00:45:36,719
Speaker 5: to Saquon Barkley, It's gonna be really important that he

938
00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:40,400
Speaker 5: does utilize his athleticism and his running ability as the

939
00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:43,440
Speaker 5: chief trying and find a way to neutralize Saquon Barkley.

940
00:45:43,440 --> 00:45:45,440
Speaker 5: They gonna load to Lina Scrimmers. They're gonna blitz and

941
00:45:45,520 --> 00:45:48,120
Speaker 5: do those things. But the thing about blitzing is the

942
00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:51,400
Speaker 5: quarterback being unaccounted for in the run game. That is

943
00:45:51,440 --> 00:45:53,920
Speaker 5: a different thing. And do they utilize some of those

944
00:45:53,920 --> 00:45:57,239
Speaker 5: schemes that allow Jalen Hurts to be utilized in the

945
00:45:57,320 --> 00:46:00,440
Speaker 5: run game on read option, power read and some of

946
00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:03,080
Speaker 5: those other things. Yeah, it's a big game, but this

947
00:46:03,239 --> 00:46:04,879
Speaker 5: is part of what we like. We can talk about

948
00:46:04,880 --> 00:46:07,439
Speaker 5: the talent, but I love the tactics and the chess

949
00:46:07,480 --> 00:46:09,840
Speaker 5: match that we go see and Nick Sirian and his

950
00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:11,520
Speaker 5: company come up with an answer.

951
00:46:11,719 --> 00:46:14,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, because I heard you and Andy as I was

952
00:46:14,120 --> 00:46:16,560
Speaker 2: driving in talking a little bit of trying to give

953
00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:19,560
Speaker 2: some love the defensive coordinators and Smith laughs at me

954
00:46:19,600 --> 00:46:21,279
Speaker 2: all the time. He's like, all you talk about is

955
00:46:21,320 --> 00:46:25,120
Speaker 2: offensive lines and defensive players. When we start breaking this

956
00:46:25,120 --> 00:46:27,880
Speaker 2: stuff down, like everybody else does, the Mahome stuff, everybody

957
00:46:27,920 --> 00:46:32,400
Speaker 2: else talks about AJ Brown and Travis Kelsey Kelsey fourteen

958
00:46:32,440 --> 00:46:35,160
Speaker 2: to one for your MVP. We went off the grid.

959
00:46:35,200 --> 00:46:37,520
Speaker 2: We basically said, well, we've got to take long shots.

960
00:46:37,560 --> 00:46:41,160
Speaker 2: So Kansas City having issues defending the tight end, So

961
00:46:41,239 --> 00:46:43,640
Speaker 2: Dallas Goddard getting a little bit of love in that regard.

962
00:46:44,280 --> 00:46:46,400
Speaker 2: For me, I went defensively thinking that it was going

963
00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:49,520
Speaker 2: to take a big Spagnolo call and a play from

964
00:46:49,640 --> 00:46:53,239
Speaker 2: Jones or Carl loftis to help seal things. Some of

965
00:46:53,239 --> 00:46:55,440
Speaker 2: that's being cute. I recognize it's kind of like the

966
00:46:55,560 --> 00:46:59,040
Speaker 2: MVP award we were talking about last hour of Oh,

967
00:46:59,080 --> 00:47:01,880
Speaker 2: the quarterback wins it unless something really crazy happens.

968
00:47:03,400 --> 00:47:05,839
Speaker 5: I mean typically that is that is true unless it's

969
00:47:06,239 --> 00:47:08,680
Speaker 5: one where the quarterback puts up pedestrian numbers, and then

970
00:47:08,680 --> 00:47:11,480
Speaker 5: you look for anything like who's the one get who

971
00:47:11,480 --> 00:47:13,520
Speaker 5: can we give it to, who has the best stats

972
00:47:13,880 --> 00:47:15,520
Speaker 5: or whatever. But now it's gonna be a game where

973
00:47:15,520 --> 00:47:17,400
Speaker 5: the sidekicks really have to come through the stars, and

974
00:47:17,440 --> 00:47:19,439
Speaker 5: the stars they're gonna do what they do. But who

975
00:47:19,520 --> 00:47:21,759
Speaker 5: is the unlikely hero that's gonna step up and make

976
00:47:21,760 --> 00:47:22,080
Speaker 5: a play.

977
00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:24,000
Speaker 2: Now, let's let's talk about it for a minute. Right

978
00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:26,840
Speaker 2: we went, We got into the MVP talk a little

979
00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:28,920
Speaker 2: bit last hour. Folks will be able to podcast that

980
00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:31,440
Speaker 2: when we're done with the show here, Shale'll get that

981
00:47:31,560 --> 00:47:35,200
Speaker 2: up and popping, because I think it's a fun discussion

982
00:47:35,239 --> 00:47:38,520
Speaker 2: and I think we did it more nuanced, right, not

983
00:47:38,960 --> 00:47:41,120
Speaker 2: a lot of like, as you say, no dog in

984
00:47:41,120 --> 00:47:42,960
Speaker 2: the fight, Like you're just trying to parse through and

985
00:47:43,520 --> 00:47:45,719
Speaker 2: weed through the noise to get there, and I think

986
00:47:45,719 --> 00:47:48,239
Speaker 2: some of it goes into trying to unpack some of

987
00:47:48,239 --> 00:47:52,200
Speaker 2: the numbers, right, And me, I love the big uglies

988
00:47:52,239 --> 00:47:55,800
Speaker 2: and on both sides, I've got a Casey Hampton Steelers

989
00:47:55,920 --> 00:47:57,600
Speaker 2: jersey to show you where I'm at in terms of

990
00:47:57,640 --> 00:48:00,759
Speaker 2: that stuff that someone gifted me many years ago. But

991
00:48:01,040 --> 00:48:03,279
Speaker 2: I have the you know, the offensive line for the

992
00:48:03,320 --> 00:48:06,120
Speaker 2: Eagles and the job that they do, and when we

993
00:48:06,120 --> 00:48:09,720
Speaker 2: see highlights, it's a lot of you know, big explosive runs.

994
00:48:10,080 --> 00:48:13,400
Speaker 2: Barkley gets the full credit, but make me smarter, Bucky,

995
00:48:13,520 --> 00:48:16,000
Speaker 2: like in terms of percentages when we when we break

996
00:48:16,040 --> 00:48:18,160
Speaker 2: through that and it's not a Hey, I had to

997
00:48:18,200 --> 00:48:20,920
Speaker 2: shuffle through and break through a couple of tackles and

998
00:48:20,920 --> 00:48:24,280
Speaker 2: I'm running to daylight. How much is vision versus scheme

999
00:48:24,360 --> 00:48:27,200
Speaker 2: and the execution up front? I mean, obviously the marriage

1000
00:48:27,200 --> 00:48:29,080
Speaker 2: has to be there. I don't want to give anybody

1001
00:48:29,120 --> 00:48:32,840
Speaker 2: short shrift and want to make sure we're recognizing Barkley,

1002
00:48:33,200 --> 00:48:35,359
Speaker 2: Henry and those guys for the vision that they do

1003
00:48:35,480 --> 00:48:38,520
Speaker 2: have while also paying tribute. It's that delicate balance.

1004
00:48:39,800 --> 00:48:41,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, it is that delicate balance, But you want to

1005
00:48:41,600 --> 00:48:44,200
Speaker 5: give them credit. The offensive line certainly makes the game

1006
00:48:44,239 --> 00:48:47,960
Speaker 5: easy for Sae Kwon Barkley. He frequently gets to the

1007
00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:50,600
Speaker 5: line of scrimmage untouched. It reminds me of Emma Smith

1008
00:48:50,640 --> 00:48:52,680
Speaker 5: back in the day when he played behind the Great

1009
00:48:52,680 --> 00:48:56,960
Speaker 5: Wall of Dallas that so many times talk about. Yeah,

1010
00:48:57,280 --> 00:48:59,360
Speaker 5: so many people will talk about Barry Sanders being a

1011
00:48:59,360 --> 00:49:01,400
Speaker 5: better running back because Emma didn't have to do all

1012
00:49:01,440 --> 00:49:04,120
Speaker 5: the work. It's very similar to this situation. You take

1013
00:49:04,160 --> 00:49:06,560
Speaker 5: an A plus running back with an A plus offensive line,

1014
00:49:06,600 --> 00:49:10,520
Speaker 5: they create problems, and however, you split the baby fifty

1015
00:49:10,560 --> 00:49:12,279
Speaker 5: to fifty. When it comes to does the L line

1016
00:49:12,280 --> 00:49:15,080
Speaker 5: deserve credit? We can give them that. The only thing

1017
00:49:15,120 --> 00:49:19,640
Speaker 5: that I will say is Saquon Barkley enhances whatever they

1018
00:49:19,680 --> 00:49:22,160
Speaker 5: get blocking so I have to play would normally get

1019
00:49:22,200 --> 00:49:24,520
Speaker 5: you four to five yards. You give them credit, but

1020
00:49:24,600 --> 00:49:28,640
Speaker 5: Saquon's ability to take into distance separate them from others well.

1021
00:49:28,680 --> 00:49:31,440
Speaker 2: And that's it, right, trying to find those lines of

1022
00:49:31,480 --> 00:49:36,720
Speaker 2: demarcation and certainly the devaluation at least one thousand yard seasons.

1023
00:49:37,400 --> 00:49:39,760
Speaker 2: I think we've done that when we keep adding games

1024
00:49:39,800 --> 00:49:44,400
Speaker 2: and all, you know, just it's math. It's math, as

1025
00:49:44,440 --> 00:49:46,920
Speaker 2: it were, and the splitting of workloads. So when we

1026
00:49:46,960 --> 00:49:50,080
Speaker 2: do have workhorse tailbacks, I like to think that we

1027
00:49:50,160 --> 00:49:53,400
Speaker 2: still celebrate them pretty well, even if you're not approaching

1028
00:49:53,440 --> 00:49:56,640
Speaker 2: two thousand yards. But for Barkley, a magical season. For

1029
00:49:56,760 --> 00:50:00,960
Speaker 2: Jalen Hurtzon company, you know, trying to pick up. And

1030
00:50:01,640 --> 00:50:03,840
Speaker 2: it goes back to the Sirianni comment you made. I

1031
00:50:03,880 --> 00:50:07,880
Speaker 2: think of last year second half disaster, right, it was

1032
00:50:07,960 --> 00:50:09,960
Speaker 2: them and the Jaguars that got a lot of the

1033
00:50:09,960 --> 00:50:13,279
Speaker 2: heat in twenty twenty three in terms of how the

1034
00:50:13,320 --> 00:50:18,000
Speaker 2: season ended, and I think it was Sirianni got some help.

1035
00:50:18,040 --> 00:50:21,600
Speaker 2: Although the noise in Philadelphia is certainly loud, no question

1036
00:50:21,719 --> 00:50:24,319
Speaker 2: about it. This is a Super Bowl where a lot

1037
00:50:24,400 --> 00:50:26,239
Speaker 2: of folks I know that are neutral like I hate

1038
00:50:26,280 --> 00:50:28,839
Speaker 2: them both. I wish I had another option to watch

1039
00:50:28,840 --> 00:50:30,000
Speaker 2: some other sporting event.

1040
00:50:31,719 --> 00:50:34,799
Speaker 5: I mean, people sound like they were walking up to

1041
00:50:34,840 --> 00:50:36,319
Speaker 5: the election. At some point you got a root for

1042
00:50:36,360 --> 00:50:39,520
Speaker 5: somebody like I did. Right, like the two teams. So

1043
00:50:39,719 --> 00:50:42,960
Speaker 5: either you want to see a three peat or you

1044
00:50:42,960 --> 00:50:45,000
Speaker 5: want to see the I can't even say the underdogs,

1045
00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:48,600
Speaker 5: but the underdogs win that they looked at That's how

1046
00:50:48,600 --> 00:50:52,359
Speaker 5: you fall. Either you respect the excellence that the Kansas

1047
00:50:52,360 --> 00:50:55,040
Speaker 5: City Chiefs will displayed inn being a three time or

1048
00:50:55,320 --> 00:50:58,560
Speaker 5: a three peat champion, or you look into the more

1049
00:50:58,600 --> 00:51:01,680
Speaker 5: talented team to Eagles this. Do they have not only

1050
00:51:01,719 --> 00:51:03,160
Speaker 5: the town to get it done, but do they have

1051
00:51:03,200 --> 00:51:06,080
Speaker 5: the medal to knock out the champion? Because they always

1052
00:51:06,120 --> 00:51:08,680
Speaker 5: say in these things, you got to knock out the champion.

1053
00:51:08,719 --> 00:51:10,799
Speaker 5: You can't leave it to the cords. So can the

1054
00:51:10,880 --> 00:51:14,279
Speaker 5: Eagles knock the Chiefs out? Something that we haven't seen

1055
00:51:15,360 --> 00:51:16,480
Speaker 5: many teams be able to do.

1056
00:51:16,680 --> 00:51:19,080
Speaker 2: And that's the biggest point with when it comes to

1057
00:51:19,120 --> 00:51:22,440
Speaker 2: all of the extra controversy and I put those in

1058
00:51:22,520 --> 00:51:25,359
Speaker 2: air quotes as related to the Chiefs right, A lot

1059
00:51:25,360 --> 00:51:28,719
Speaker 2: of oxygen into it. Roger Goodell addressed it. I think

1060
00:51:28,719 --> 00:51:31,239
Speaker 2: he did a good job because the second part of

1061
00:51:31,280 --> 00:51:34,719
Speaker 2: his comments related to the officials seems to have been forgotten,

1062
00:51:35,120 --> 00:51:37,560
Speaker 2: but it just kind of threw out the Yeah, we

1063
00:51:37,640 --> 00:51:40,279
Speaker 2: have to recognize the spotlights on and we have to

1064
00:51:40,360 --> 00:51:43,640
Speaker 2: keep improving. Now. He didn't go deep into dives about

1065
00:51:43,719 --> 00:51:47,520
Speaker 2: technology or all those other things like people were yelling

1066
00:51:47,600 --> 00:51:50,600
Speaker 2: for after the AFC title game. But you know, you

1067
00:51:50,680 --> 00:51:54,960
Speaker 2: have to acknowledge the elephant in the room of where

1068
00:51:55,080 --> 00:51:58,960
Speaker 2: perception for some folks becomes reality, right, especially if you

1069
00:51:59,000 --> 00:52:01,000
Speaker 2: go down a rabbit hole on any of the social

1070
00:52:01,040 --> 00:52:06,080
Speaker 2: media platforms or your favorite talking head who likes to

1071
00:52:06,120 --> 00:52:09,120
Speaker 2: go into the conspiracy theories, then you're going to stay

1072
00:52:09,200 --> 00:52:12,080
Speaker 2: in that corner. So you have to acknowledge it's there

1073
00:52:12,120 --> 00:52:15,520
Speaker 2: and then quickly give it a backhand with whatever data

1074
00:52:15,560 --> 00:52:17,640
Speaker 2: you can. But if you leave it to the judges,

1075
00:52:17,680 --> 00:52:21,480
Speaker 2: guess what, most of the time you're taking an l one.

1076
00:52:22,200 --> 00:52:25,799
Speaker 5: And that's why with those games in Kansas City, when

1077
00:52:25,840 --> 00:52:27,680
Speaker 5: you're playing the Kans City Chiefs, you got to play

1078
00:52:27,719 --> 00:52:30,120
Speaker 5: the game to win it, regardless of the score. Your

1079
00:52:30,200 --> 00:52:32,680
Speaker 5: job is to keep stacking points because in your mind,

1080
00:52:32,680 --> 00:52:35,520
Speaker 5: you have to know they're coming. You know they're coming.

1081
00:52:35,560 --> 00:52:37,720
Speaker 5: Pat Mahomes is going to leading back. We've seen it

1082
00:52:37,760 --> 00:52:40,400
Speaker 5: happen time and time again, so you got to keep playing.

1083
00:52:40,400 --> 00:52:43,799
Speaker 5: You cannot take your foot off the gas. And let's

1084
00:52:43,840 --> 00:52:45,959
Speaker 5: be honest because a lot of people, I think people

1085
00:52:46,000 --> 00:52:47,480
Speaker 5: have to go back and look at the Zuer Bowl

1086
00:52:47,520 --> 00:52:49,440
Speaker 5: from two years ago to really get an understanding that

1087
00:52:49,480 --> 00:52:54,759
Speaker 5: Philadelphia was dominating the game until a turnover crack the

1088
00:52:54,840 --> 00:52:57,520
Speaker 5: door open for the Kansaity Chiefs to work their way

1089
00:52:57,560 --> 00:53:01,239
Speaker 5: back in it. Nick Bolden's scooping school were changed to

1090
00:53:01,400 --> 00:53:04,799
Speaker 5: ten and the tone of the game because the look

1091
00:53:04,840 --> 00:53:09,040
Speaker 5: the Eagles were teetering, uh, they had them on the

1092
00:53:09,040 --> 00:53:12,239
Speaker 5: brink of blowing the game open, and that turnover did it.

1093
00:53:12,280 --> 00:53:14,160
Speaker 5: So if you're the Eagles, you should step into this

1094
00:53:14,200 --> 00:53:16,480
Speaker 5: game with a lot of confidence and just because like

1095
00:53:16,520 --> 00:53:19,240
Speaker 5: it happened, the last game doesn't matter, but you should

1096
00:53:19,320 --> 00:53:21,520
Speaker 5: have enough confidence to know that we can disband on

1097
00:53:21,640 --> 00:53:22,080
Speaker 5: this team.

1098
00:53:22,480 --> 00:53:22,560
Speaker 4: Now.

1099
00:53:22,600 --> 00:53:26,680
Speaker 2: I wish they more attention paid to the game that

1100
00:53:26,880 --> 00:53:30,000
Speaker 2: Hurts had and that offense did. To your point, I

1101
00:53:30,040 --> 00:53:33,560
Speaker 2: mean turnovers, what is it seventy right win that battle

1102
00:53:34,280 --> 00:53:36,640
Speaker 2: or maybe a little bit higher there. And as we

1103
00:53:36,719 --> 00:53:40,200
Speaker 2: go through certainly the process. All right, last Saquon Barkley

1104
00:53:40,200 --> 00:53:42,320
Speaker 2: for I'll just give you the prop that first carry

1105
00:53:42,320 --> 00:53:47,320
Speaker 2: over under four and a half yards. Ooh, under stuffed

1106
00:53:47,320 --> 00:53:48,120
Speaker 2: the bustings early.

1107
00:53:49,360 --> 00:53:51,399
Speaker 5: I think they're going to blitz them from the time

1108
00:53:51,400 --> 00:53:53,759
Speaker 5: they get off the bus. This is a game we're

1109
00:53:53,760 --> 00:53:57,120
Speaker 5: gonna see. When I was Agains the City, Guntha Cunning

1110
00:53:57,160 --> 00:54:01,240
Speaker 5: him the late coordinator, Yeah, and he would talk about,

1111
00:54:01,440 --> 00:54:03,520
Speaker 5: hey man, this is the week, suys and such as

1112
00:54:03,560 --> 00:54:06,879
Speaker 5: to wear the big sombrero. This is Jalen Hurst's big

1113
00:54:06,920 --> 00:54:10,200
Speaker 5: sombrero moment. If they're going to win, Jalen Hurst is

1114
00:54:10,239 --> 00:54:12,600
Speaker 5: going to have to deliver as a passer. I don't

1115
00:54:12,600 --> 00:54:15,000
Speaker 5: think there's any way that Spags is going to let

1116
00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:17,360
Speaker 5: twenty six be the deciding factor in the game.

1117
00:54:17,920 --> 00:54:20,360
Speaker 2: Yeah. The over under for his longest rush of the

1118
00:54:20,400 --> 00:54:24,000
Speaker 2: game is twenty four and a half yards, and his

1119
00:54:24,320 --> 00:54:27,000
Speaker 2: total is fluctuated quite a bit. I've seen it as

1120
00:54:27,000 --> 00:54:29,640
Speaker 2: low as one thirteen, seeing it all the way out

1121
00:54:29,640 --> 00:54:33,120
Speaker 2: to one eighteen. So all that is to say is,

1122
00:54:33,120 --> 00:54:35,240
Speaker 2: if you're going up and down the strip do your shopping,

1123
00:54:35,640 --> 00:54:39,200
Speaker 2: you may find some variants in pricing along the way.

1124
00:54:39,600 --> 00:54:41,680
Speaker 2: Really quickly, we've got Jason Cole coming up in just

1125
00:54:41,719 --> 00:54:43,319
Speaker 2: a couple of minutes. Talk some of the Hall of

1126
00:54:43,360 --> 00:54:47,840
Speaker 2: Fame voting, the process change, and some of the behind

1127
00:54:47,480 --> 00:54:50,759
Speaker 2: the closed doors kind of conversation. Always good for that

1128
00:54:50,840 --> 00:54:53,879
Speaker 2: with us thirty third team. He's been in the game

1129
00:54:53,960 --> 00:54:55,560
Speaker 2: a long time, a lot of books. His l Way

1130
00:54:55,600 --> 00:54:58,279
Speaker 2: book is one of my favorites. The stories he got

1131
00:54:58,280 --> 00:55:01,560
Speaker 2: from mom and pop on all of that. I got

1132
00:55:01,560 --> 00:55:04,040
Speaker 2: a couple of notes from Chicago, and we know people

1133
00:55:04,160 --> 00:55:06,920
Speaker 2: change each hour. We bring on new affiliates. Wanted to

1134
00:55:06,920 --> 00:55:09,520
Speaker 2: give you a chance. They loved what you had to

1135
00:55:09,520 --> 00:55:13,240
Speaker 2: say about Dick Jeron and his memory and the leader

1136
00:55:13,320 --> 00:55:16,600
Speaker 2: he was thirteen and three season for the Bears, two

1137
00:55:16,680 --> 00:55:19,839
Speaker 2: thousand and one Coach of the Year, but a guy

1138
00:55:19,960 --> 00:55:22,480
Speaker 2: you worked with and had the utmost respect for you.

1139
00:55:22,520 --> 00:55:24,640
Speaker 2: Put it up on Twitter and gave us a little

1140
00:55:24,640 --> 00:55:26,799
Speaker 2: snippet of that earlier. If you could revisit that for

1141
00:55:26,880 --> 00:55:29,040
Speaker 2: a moment as to what he meant to your career

1142
00:55:29,560 --> 00:55:31,160
Speaker 2: and the process for you.

1143
00:55:32,040 --> 00:55:34,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, so did. Jeron was my defensive coordinator with Jackson

1144
00:55:34,360 --> 00:55:37,879
Speaker 5: with the Jaguars. I was just picked up off waivers after

1145
00:55:37,880 --> 00:55:40,960
Speaker 5: being released from the Green Bay Packers. The Jaguars partially

1146
00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:43,719
Speaker 5: picked me up because Jiran previously served as a defensive

1147
00:55:43,760 --> 00:55:46,759
Speaker 5: backs coach for the Green Bay Packers and he had

1148
00:55:46,760 --> 00:55:50,279
Speaker 5: a relationship with Bob Alacente and that team, and so

1149
00:55:50,360 --> 00:55:52,080
Speaker 5: he knew about me. He also knew that I was

1150
00:55:52,120 --> 00:55:55,399
Speaker 5: a project. You have to remember Jiran was an All

1151
00:55:55,480 --> 00:55:58,080
Speaker 5: Pro member of the Detroit Lies, but he was a

1152
00:55:58,120 --> 00:56:00,680
Speaker 5: guy who was a terrific running back eight Yale before

1153
00:56:00,680 --> 00:56:04,520
Speaker 5: making conversion to defensive back. So he helped me learn

1154
00:56:04,840 --> 00:56:07,480
Speaker 5: how to go from playing offense to defense. And one

1155
00:56:07,520 --> 00:56:10,400
Speaker 5: of the things that he did is he encouraged me

1156
00:56:10,440 --> 00:56:12,959
Speaker 5: to make mistakes in practice. And he would always say

1157
00:56:12,960 --> 00:56:15,480
Speaker 5: that you never know what your boundaries are until you

1158
00:56:15,480 --> 00:56:18,440
Speaker 5: push the limits in practice. And what practice is supposed

1159
00:56:18,440 --> 00:56:20,239
Speaker 5: to do is allow you to know what you can

1160
00:56:20,680 --> 00:56:22,520
Speaker 5: and what you can't do, and then in the game

1161
00:56:22,560 --> 00:56:24,719
Speaker 5: you only put yourself in a position to do what

1162
00:56:24,760 --> 00:56:27,600
Speaker 5: you can do. Before pro coach at the time where

1163
00:56:27,640 --> 00:56:30,480
Speaker 5: everything hangs on the performance of young players to kind

1164
00:56:30,480 --> 00:56:33,200
Speaker 5: of give me that freedom, man, it worked wonders for

1165
00:56:33,280 --> 00:56:35,120
Speaker 5: me when it came to the career. And then he

1166
00:56:35,160 --> 00:56:37,319
Speaker 5: also has so many other wise words. When he talked

1167
00:56:37,320 --> 00:56:40,160
Speaker 5: about building championship teams. He talked about it because I've

1168
00:56:40,160 --> 00:56:42,720
Speaker 5: said it on our show. He said, look, man, Bucky,

1169
00:56:42,800 --> 00:56:44,920
Speaker 5: it never changed in any sport. You got to be

1170
00:56:45,000 --> 00:56:49,520
Speaker 5: strong down the middle. He said. In baseball is catcher, pitcher, centerfielder,

1171
00:56:49,960 --> 00:56:53,600
Speaker 5: second and shortstop. It never changed. Basketball, point guard, center,

1172
00:56:53,719 --> 00:56:56,279
Speaker 5: he said, football is the same. And he just had

1173
00:56:56,360 --> 00:56:59,360
Speaker 5: so much wisdom. For such a kind man to share,

1174
00:56:59,440 --> 00:57:01,359
Speaker 5: that is one of those things that you always want

1175
00:57:01,360 --> 00:57:03,240
Speaker 5: to pay it for it by being just as nice

1176
00:57:03,480 --> 00:57:05,840
Speaker 5: to the people that you encounter and the young athletes

1177
00:57:05,840 --> 00:57:06,839
Speaker 5: that you have an opportunity to.

Speaker 2: and We've talked a lot about matchup fun and excitement.

1215
00:59:12,480 --> 00:59:15,680
Speaker 2: It is good to get down to brass tacks about

1216
00:59:15,720 --> 00:59:18,960
Speaker 2: the game. You got a lot of peripheral stuff. Does

1217
00:59:19,040 --> 00:59:22,120
Speaker 2: he or does any in Travis Kelcey and it's either

1218
00:59:22,160 --> 00:59:24,280
Speaker 2: the is he going to propose or is he going

1219
00:59:24,320 --> 00:59:27,160
Speaker 2: to retire? If they win the game. I would find

1220
00:59:27,200 --> 00:59:28,960
Speaker 2: it hard to believe he walks away. I think you'd

1221
00:59:29,000 --> 00:59:31,720
Speaker 2: get on a Rob Gronkowski kind of meal, wouldn't you

1222
00:59:32,040 --> 00:59:35,040
Speaker 2: where you say, Hey, I'm the veteran. I'm not showing

1223
00:59:35,120 --> 00:59:37,840
Speaker 2: up to training camp, but I'll see you guys along

1224
00:59:37,840 --> 00:59:38,240
Speaker 2: the road.

1225
00:59:40,400 --> 00:59:42,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't know. He's thirty five. He has a

1226
00:59:42,560 --> 00:59:45,160
Speaker 5: lot of cash, ladies hot.

1227
00:59:45,480 --> 00:59:48,480
Speaker 2: I mean a lot of cash that keeps growing for sure.

1228
00:59:48,800 --> 00:59:51,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, he could go out as a three peat champion

1229
00:59:51,480 --> 00:59:53,960
Speaker 5: that has never been done. I mean there are a

1230
00:59:54,000 --> 00:59:55,640
Speaker 5: lot of things that would make it kind of like

1231
00:59:55,920 --> 00:59:58,840
Speaker 5: a fairy tale ending, you know, Hollywood story. If he

1232
00:59:58,920 --> 01:00:03,080
Speaker 5: goes out following a win, I don't know, man, Look,

1233
01:00:03,120 --> 01:00:05,720
Speaker 5: I think it's his. I think also any we would

1234
01:00:05,760 --> 01:00:08,800
Speaker 5: be willing to work with him to make it like

1235
01:00:08,920 --> 01:00:10,720
Speaker 5: kind of doable if he wanted to come back. But

1236
01:00:11,480 --> 01:00:13,280
Speaker 5: I don't know, Man thirty five, He's played a long

1237
01:00:13,320 --> 01:00:16,840
Speaker 5: time and he has all the records. He goes down

1238
01:00:16,880 --> 01:00:19,920
Speaker 5: as like one of the greatest of all time based

1239
01:00:19,920 --> 01:00:21,520
Speaker 5: on the numbers, and based on numbers they would say

1240
01:00:21,560 --> 01:00:25,120
Speaker 5: the greatest of all time. It's Look, it's a great

1241
01:00:25,160 --> 01:00:25,720
Speaker 5: stud to be.

1242
01:00:25,720 --> 01:00:28,560
Speaker 2: In and a guy expected to play a huge role

1243
01:00:28,600 --> 01:00:31,920
Speaker 2: for this Kansas City offense today. The over under a

1244
01:00:31,920 --> 01:00:33,760
Speaker 2: lot of the betting props at that six and a

1245
01:00:33,800 --> 01:00:38,560
Speaker 2: half reception sixty five plus receiving yards in the process

1246
01:00:38,600 --> 01:00:41,360
Speaker 2: for it as well, Bucky, when we look at the

1247
01:00:41,480 --> 01:00:45,680
Speaker 2: Kansas City offensive side of things, the death by a

1248
01:00:45,760 --> 01:00:48,680
Speaker 2: thousand paper cuts is what it seems like. I pinned

1249
01:00:48,920 --> 01:00:51,560
Speaker 2: a little bit in our discussion this week on the

1250
01:00:51,600 --> 01:00:55,200
Speaker 2: return of Hollywood Brown. I know Xavier Worthy has a

1251
01:00:55,240 --> 01:00:59,120
Speaker 2: healthy fifty five and a half tag on his over under.

1252
01:00:59,320 --> 01:01:02,720
Speaker 2: Trying to right, you know, just not necessarily to tell

1253
01:01:02,760 --> 01:01:05,080
Speaker 2: you how to bet or what to bet, but just

1254
01:01:05,280 --> 01:01:08,160
Speaker 2: throwing out some of the lines that we do here

1255
01:01:08,240 --> 01:01:11,520
Speaker 2: just to kind of show you what Vegas has put

1256
01:01:11,600 --> 01:01:14,440
Speaker 2: up in terms of some of the simulation and numbers

1257
01:01:14,440 --> 01:01:18,080
Speaker 2: and algorithms. But is this one where Patrick mahomes we're

1258
01:01:18,080 --> 01:01:20,800
Speaker 2: going to look at Chiefs if they're in the W column.

1259
01:01:20,840 --> 01:01:22,640
Speaker 2: We've got like eight or nine guys that have a

1260
01:01:23,000 --> 01:01:24,480
Speaker 2: play a factor in that past game.

1261
01:01:25,640 --> 01:01:29,560
Speaker 5: I think so the big X factor is Hollywood Brown,

1262
01:01:29,600 --> 01:01:31,760
Speaker 5: and Hollywood Brown is the X factor because before they

1263
01:01:31,800 --> 01:01:33,840
Speaker 5: only had one guy that could be the vertical threat,

1264
01:01:33,920 --> 01:01:36,560
Speaker 5: and that was zavierer Worthy. Now you put Hollywood Brown

1265
01:01:36,600 --> 01:01:38,800
Speaker 5: on the field, you have two guys that can stretch

1266
01:01:38,800 --> 01:01:41,480
Speaker 5: the field and create lanes for Travis Kelsey over in

1267
01:01:41,480 --> 01:01:43,880
Speaker 5: the middle of the field. I don't believe it's coincidental

1268
01:01:43,920 --> 01:01:46,520
Speaker 5: that they scored thirty plus points against the Buffalo Bills

1269
01:01:46,520 --> 01:01:49,280
Speaker 5: with Hollywood Brown back in the lineup. They make you

1270
01:01:49,360 --> 01:01:52,680
Speaker 5: defend every area of the field. Now that he is back,

1271
01:01:52,960 --> 01:01:55,200
Speaker 5: it's a game changes and he could be the X

1272
01:01:55,240 --> 01:01:57,120
Speaker 5: factor that we look back and say, hey, he was

1273
01:01:57,120 --> 01:02:00,880
Speaker 5: the difference, whether it's based on his number or just

1274
01:02:00,960 --> 01:02:04,320
Speaker 5: based on his ability to stretch the field and impact others.

1275
01:02:04,640 --> 01:02:06,040
Speaker 5: He could be a big key in this game.

1276
01:02:06,160 --> 01:02:09,720
Speaker 2: See I dig that making me sound smarter. He's over

1277
01:02:09,840 --> 01:02:12,560
Speaker 2: under for longest catch seventeen and a half yards.

1278
01:02:13,200 --> 01:02:14,480
Speaker 5: M I tacked over.

1279
01:02:15,200 --> 01:02:18,280
Speaker 2: So I'm thinking either a little slug o kind of

1280
01:02:18,320 --> 01:02:21,720
Speaker 2: thing or maybe just a big pop suck up on

1281
01:02:21,760 --> 01:02:23,640
Speaker 2: the line because they're going to try to force the

1282
01:02:23,680 --> 01:02:25,640
Speaker 2: ball out of my home's hands early and maybe you

1283
01:02:25,680 --> 01:02:26,720
Speaker 2: take a deep shot early.

1284
01:02:27,640 --> 01:02:31,800
Speaker 5: Yeah. No, I think it's funny because it could be anything,

1285
01:02:31,920 --> 01:02:34,919
Speaker 5: but I expect him to take some shots early. Here's

1286
01:02:34,960 --> 01:02:37,280
Speaker 5: the thing. No one has talked about this, right because

1287
01:02:37,320 --> 01:02:38,800
Speaker 5: I think if they talked about it, I don't know

1288
01:02:38,840 --> 01:02:40,960
Speaker 5: how many people feel good about making the Eagles to

1289
01:02:41,000 --> 01:02:44,560
Speaker 5: pick Vic Fangio is against.

1290
01:02:44,680 --> 01:02:45,560
Speaker 2: Crazy, isn't it?

1291
01:02:46,240 --> 01:02:49,880
Speaker 5: Oh and eight? I mean that is some kind of

1292
01:02:49,920 --> 01:02:53,360
Speaker 5: dominance that a one player has over a coordinator. And

1293
01:02:53,800 --> 01:02:56,040
Speaker 5: here's the thing that we know about old people. It

1294
01:02:56,080 --> 01:02:58,959
Speaker 5: is hard for them to change. Yeah, so he's done

1295
01:02:59,520 --> 01:03:01,760
Speaker 5: something like if he hasn't done it in the first

1296
01:03:01,880 --> 01:03:04,640
Speaker 5: eight games, what new trick is he gonna come up

1297
01:03:04,680 --> 01:03:07,960
Speaker 5: with that he hasn't already tried. So that's the one

1298
01:03:07,960 --> 01:03:09,800
Speaker 5: thing that gives me pause. Like, Hey, I know we're

1299
01:03:09,840 --> 01:03:13,640
Speaker 5: saying that Philadelphia's better, but the coordinator can't slow down.

1300
01:03:13,720 --> 01:03:16,120
Speaker 5: Pat Mahomes, that's an issue.

1301
01:03:16,800 --> 01:03:17,120
Speaker 1: Quote.

1302
01:03:17,160 --> 01:03:20,080
Speaker 2: If we win, I'll be one and eight. I'd still

1303
01:03:20,080 --> 01:03:24,959
Speaker 2: hear it, Banjo said on Super Bowl Opening Night. Yeah,

1304
01:03:25,200 --> 01:03:28,120
Speaker 2: muted opening night. This week again, with all the n

1305
01:03:28,280 --> 01:03:31,800
Speaker 2: NBA trade talk for better or for worse, people were

1306
01:03:32,440 --> 01:03:35,800
Speaker 2: kind of unhappy. Hey, look, NFL came and took Christmas

1307
01:03:36,520 --> 01:03:39,160
Speaker 2: the NBA with the trade deadline. You actually had some

1308
01:03:39,200 --> 01:03:42,400
Speaker 2: stuff of substance go down with some big names. By

1309
01:03:42,400 --> 01:03:44,480
Speaker 2: the way, pat Riley still wins the week even though

1310
01:03:44,480 --> 01:03:49,000
Speaker 2: he lost that Jimmy Butler stare down because he's now

1311
01:03:49,040 --> 01:03:52,600
Speaker 2: allowing the NFL if the Chiefs win, they can license

1312
01:03:52,640 --> 01:03:56,320
Speaker 2: three peat stuff. So he's gonna get paid because he's

1313
01:03:56,360 --> 01:04:01,000
Speaker 2: got the trademark, copyright and everything on that. How you

1314
01:04:01,080 --> 01:04:01,320
Speaker 2: like that?

1315
01:04:01,600 --> 01:04:03,560
Speaker 5: Business always business.

1316
01:04:03,640 --> 01:04:07,000
Speaker 2: Personal, It's always business. But it's just kind of funny. Right,

1317
01:04:07,040 --> 01:04:09,120
Speaker 2: So Monday, we didn't We didn't get a lot of fireworks.

1318
01:04:09,120 --> 01:04:12,080
Speaker 2: You had some stupid questions and and certainly you had

1319
01:04:12,080 --> 01:04:15,160
Speaker 2: a couple of dopes who will remain nameless, going around

1320
01:04:15,200 --> 01:04:18,000
Speaker 2: all the Chiefs players and asking about the officials and

1321
01:04:18,000 --> 01:04:20,560
Speaker 2: who their favorite officials were and all of those things.

1322
01:04:20,720 --> 01:04:22,640
Speaker 2: I do find it interesting. And this was a note

1323
01:04:22,680 --> 01:04:25,200
Speaker 2: from that I found earlier in the week that based

1324
01:04:25,240 --> 01:04:29,040
Speaker 2: on the grating the change of officials at such two

1325
01:04:29,040 --> 01:04:31,240
Speaker 2: of them wouldn't have qualified in past years for the

1326
01:04:31,240 --> 01:04:37,320
Speaker 2: Super Bowl. So interesting, one little extra wrinkle to things.

1327
01:04:38,120 --> 01:04:39,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, I would say this before everyone gets mad at

1328
01:04:40,000 --> 01:04:43,280
Speaker 5: the officials. I got a former teammate, a college teammate,

1329
01:04:43,440 --> 01:04:46,880
Speaker 5: and one of my buddies from the NFL, Mike Morton,

1330
01:04:48,480 --> 01:04:51,520
Speaker 5: a long time officials getting this chance to officiate his

1331
01:04:51,640 --> 01:04:55,720
Speaker 5: first Super Bowl. No kidding, so anytime. Yeah, So Mike Morton,

1332
01:04:56,600 --> 01:04:58,959
Speaker 5: what is he is? He he's not a back. He's

1333
01:04:58,960 --> 01:05:00,919
Speaker 5: back there with the I don't know the official title.

1334
01:05:00,960 --> 01:05:04,800
Speaker 5: Maybe he's back to but he is. Yeah, he's doing

1335
01:05:04,800 --> 01:05:07,160
Speaker 5: to mix. And Mike was a linebacker for four years

1336
01:05:07,160 --> 01:05:10,200
Speaker 5: I think with the Raiders. We were together at North Carolina,

1337
01:05:10,240 --> 01:05:11,680
Speaker 5: so we had a chance to play together a couple

1338
01:05:11,640 --> 01:05:15,600
Speaker 5: of different spots. But he is a dentist by day

1339
01:05:15,800 --> 01:05:18,080
Speaker 5: in an official by night. But he gets an opportunity

1340
01:05:18,480 --> 01:05:20,640
Speaker 5: to officiate his first Super Bowl.

1341
01:05:20,680 --> 01:05:23,320
Speaker 2: All right, Well let's go. I'll cheer for him. See,

1342
01:05:23,480 --> 01:05:26,240
Speaker 2: I'll go find my Rob Low NFL. I actually have

1343
01:05:26,800 --> 01:05:29,320
Speaker 2: one of those Rob Low NFL hats. Smith decided he

1344
01:05:29,360 --> 01:05:31,640
Speaker 2: was going to be a smart Alec and he gifted

1345
01:05:31,680 --> 01:05:34,040
Speaker 2: me one of those one year. So maybe I'll wear

1346
01:05:34,040 --> 01:05:36,040
Speaker 2: that to the Super Bowl party I go to later.

1347
01:05:36,680 --> 01:05:39,520
Speaker 2: Who are you rooting for the NFL and in this

1348
01:05:39,600 --> 01:05:43,360
Speaker 2: case the Zebras because I'm hoping that they remain. I

1349
01:05:43,400 --> 01:05:46,280
Speaker 2: hope he does a fantastic job and gets his kudos

1350
01:05:46,600 --> 01:05:50,600
Speaker 2: versus becoming the latest guy that folks want to get

1351
01:05:50,640 --> 01:05:53,680
Speaker 2: after and rake over the Coles. But like we always

1352
01:05:53,680 --> 01:05:55,680
Speaker 2: talk about, it comes with the business, like being on

1353
01:05:55,720 --> 01:05:59,080
Speaker 2: air here at Fox Sports Radio or writing at Bucky

1354
01:05:59,120 --> 01:06:02,560
Speaker 2: Brooks at Swollen Dome as we do so for Vic Fangio,

1355
01:06:02,640 --> 01:06:04,400
Speaker 2: what's you got to do to get that w or

1356
01:06:04,480 --> 01:06:06,680
Speaker 2: is it all really going to be the offense having

1357
01:06:06,680 --> 01:06:07,520
Speaker 2: to win a shootout?

1358
01:06:10,080 --> 01:06:12,200
Speaker 5: No? I mean, look, I think he has to missive

1359
01:06:12,400 --> 01:06:15,880
Speaker 5: mix up his looks. Normally in the past, when you

1360
01:06:15,920 --> 01:06:18,440
Speaker 5: play Kansas City, you want to play zone. You want

1361
01:06:18,480 --> 01:06:19,960
Speaker 5: to keep the ball in front, you want to see

1362
01:06:19,960 --> 01:06:21,440
Speaker 5: if you can stop him and slow him down in

1363
01:06:21,480 --> 01:06:24,280
Speaker 5: the red zone. I think there's still something to that,

1364
01:06:24,600 --> 01:06:27,080
Speaker 5: depending on how they feel about the matchups early, you

1365
01:06:27,160 --> 01:06:29,680
Speaker 5: mix them, Samanda Man. If you can cover them, you

1366
01:06:29,720 --> 01:06:32,520
Speaker 5: can stay in it some. But it's really important that

1367
01:06:32,560 --> 01:06:35,280
Speaker 5: you spin in the wheel. You cannot allow Patrick Mahomes

1368
01:06:35,280 --> 01:06:38,160
Speaker 5: to get a bet on what you're doing. Diversity is

1369
01:06:38,200 --> 01:06:40,440
Speaker 5: really key against him because once he locks in on

1370
01:06:40,520 --> 01:06:43,160
Speaker 5: what you're doing, then he's going to change and kind

1371
01:06:43,160 --> 01:06:45,360
Speaker 5: of attack the defense appropriately. So you want to keep

1372
01:06:45,400 --> 01:06:47,720
Speaker 5: him guessing. But at the end of the day, because

1373
01:06:47,720 --> 01:06:50,520
Speaker 5: you have so many young guys playing for the Eagles,

1374
01:06:50,600 --> 01:06:52,919
Speaker 5: right you got Nolan Smith and Jayalen Carter who are young.

1375
01:06:53,000 --> 01:06:56,800
Speaker 5: You got Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper dejen and some other

1376
01:06:56,840 --> 01:06:59,240
Speaker 5: guys that are real young, you don't want to change

1377
01:06:59,320 --> 01:07:01,040
Speaker 5: up a whole lot of what you've done to get

1378
01:07:01,080 --> 01:07:03,440
Speaker 5: you to this point. And so it's about the execution

1379
01:07:03,520 --> 01:07:05,840
Speaker 5: part of it. But for Fanjo it's a tough matchup,

1380
01:07:06,440 --> 01:07:08,680
Speaker 5: but it's also tough for the Kencaidy Chiefs taking on

1381
01:07:08,760 --> 01:07:10,520
Speaker 5: what the Eagles do offensively as well.

1382
01:07:10,680 --> 01:07:13,280
Speaker 2: It is fun to see the young guys get get

1383
01:07:13,280 --> 01:07:16,040
Speaker 2: their due though, right and and come into what has

1384
01:07:16,080 --> 01:07:19,240
Speaker 2: been fairly machine like. We talked about the Eagles and

1385
01:07:19,280 --> 01:07:23,920
Speaker 2: their roster for the last several years as being among

1386
01:07:23,960 --> 01:07:27,320
Speaker 2: the greats. Last year the coordinator changes, and then that

1387
01:07:27,600 --> 01:07:29,720
Speaker 2: worked fine for about a half a season, and then

1388
01:07:29,800 --> 01:07:34,560
Speaker 2: all the questions about malcontentedness, and even aj Brown a

1389
01:07:34,600 --> 01:07:36,960
Speaker 2: couple of weeks ago taught with the book. Thing was

1390
01:07:37,000 --> 01:07:39,200
Speaker 2: all right, what is that really born out of right?

1391
01:07:39,240 --> 01:07:43,760
Speaker 2: Because normally we get those shots if you think of

1392
01:07:43,800 --> 01:07:46,800
Speaker 2: guy's dissatisfied with things, those become part of a long

1393
01:07:46,880 --> 01:07:50,360
Speaker 2: standing narrative. So that the fact that he'd done it

1394
01:07:50,400 --> 01:07:52,800
Speaker 2: before must have been when they were winning. And he

1395
01:07:52,920 --> 01:07:56,320
Speaker 2: talked openly about mental health and his struggles this week.

1396
01:07:56,400 --> 01:07:59,800
Speaker 2: So that was one of the more powerful interactions that

1397
01:07:59,840 --> 01:08:01,960
Speaker 2: we saw. If you miss that, check that out on

1398
01:08:02,000 --> 01:08:04,600
Speaker 2: social media as well. But a guy who's been kind

1399
01:08:04,600 --> 01:08:07,160
Speaker 2: of quiet in the playoffs thus far, and some wondering

1400
01:08:07,480 --> 01:08:10,040
Speaker 2: how the Eagles get him on track and into the

1401
01:08:10,120 --> 01:08:10,920
Speaker 2: offense early.

1402
01:08:12,560 --> 01:08:15,479
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I think he's scripted. Within the first

1403
01:08:15,480 --> 01:08:17,519
Speaker 5: fifteen players. You want to make sure you get them involved,

1404
01:08:17,520 --> 01:08:19,240
Speaker 5: you get the ball in his hands, let them kind

1405
01:08:19,240 --> 01:08:22,400
Speaker 5: of feel what it's like to get a taste of it,

1406
01:08:22,439 --> 01:08:25,360
Speaker 5: and then you just go to work. This is one

1407
01:08:25,680 --> 01:08:29,320
Speaker 5: where really, man, in anything like you probably scale back

1408
01:08:29,360 --> 01:08:31,720
Speaker 5: on what you tend to do, so you guys can

1409
01:08:31,720 --> 01:08:34,080
Speaker 5: play fast. This game is unlike any of the game.

1410
01:08:34,160 --> 01:08:37,800
Speaker 5: These guys are going to be in the pressure, the urgency,

1411
01:08:37,920 --> 01:08:40,439
Speaker 5: the finality of it all will lead them to be

1412
01:08:40,560 --> 01:08:42,880
Speaker 5: super nervous and very very tight when it comes to

1413
01:08:42,920 --> 01:08:45,240
Speaker 5: trying to get into it. As a coach, your job

1414
01:08:45,320 --> 01:08:47,800
Speaker 5: is to make the game easy for them. So let's

1415
01:08:47,840 --> 01:08:49,800
Speaker 5: do the day one stuff, the stuff that they've been

1416
01:08:49,840 --> 01:08:52,640
Speaker 5: doing since the first day they walked in the OTAs.

1417
01:08:53,040 --> 01:08:55,840
Speaker 5: Let them get comfortable, then ease them into it, and

1418
01:08:55,880 --> 01:08:58,960
Speaker 5: then attack with some newer stuff. But right at the

1419
01:08:59,040 --> 01:09:01,320
Speaker 5: beginning of the game, you want to make them comforable

1420
01:09:01,320 --> 01:09:03,120
Speaker 5: because everyone's going to be full of the butterflies.

1421
01:09:03,479 --> 01:09:05,720
Speaker 2: He's Bucky Brooks at Bucky Brooks where you find them,

1422
01:09:05,720 --> 01:09:09,519
Speaker 2: read them NFL dot com, foxsports dot Com is first

1423
01:09:10,080 --> 01:09:14,960
Speaker 2: first round mock draft is up for your perusals, some surprises,

1424
01:09:15,040 --> 01:09:17,960
Speaker 2: some debate points up top, which is what we love, Bucky.

1425
01:09:18,120 --> 01:09:22,599
Speaker 2: What happens with those first picks Tennessee, Cleveland, New York,

1426
01:09:22,600 --> 01:09:26,120
Speaker 2: et cetera. You posted your thoughts on that, So let's

1427
01:09:26,160 --> 01:09:30,519
Speaker 2: get the machine going, because even before this game kicks off,

1428
01:09:30,560 --> 01:09:33,439
Speaker 2: thirty teams already in your offseason, trying to make your

1429
01:09:33,479 --> 01:09:36,360
Speaker 2: squad better, and it'll give you great fodder for your

1430
01:09:36,360 --> 01:09:39,519
Speaker 2: Super Bowl party. Printed out, bring one for everybody. Color

1431
01:09:39,560 --> 01:09:41,800
Speaker 2: code them say. You get this team, you have to

1432
01:09:41,840 --> 01:09:44,080
Speaker 2: figure out how to fix them. I don't know. I'm

1433
01:09:44,120 --> 01:09:46,680
Speaker 2: trying to find it, find some other angles. Either that

1434
01:09:46,760 --> 01:09:48,639
Speaker 2: or people are going to be watching the Fox pregame

1435
01:09:48,640 --> 01:09:51,639
Speaker 2: show opposite the Puppy Bowl. So I'm trying to bring

1436
01:09:51,680 --> 01:09:54,920
Speaker 2: it all back to the celebration of football, just like

1437
01:09:54,960 --> 01:09:58,639
Speaker 2: our next guy does. It's our buddy, Isaac lowing Craft.

1438
01:09:58,680 --> 01:10:03,000

1439
01:10:03,040 --> 01:10:05,920
Speaker 2: man of great integrity. I think he still has the

01:15:12,640 --> 01:15:15,320
Speaker 2: traditional is the favorite in the clubhouse, and then we

1539
01:15:15,360 --> 01:15:17,519
Speaker 2: get to some of the exotics. At fifteen to one,

1540
01:15:17,840 --> 01:15:21,439
Speaker 2: Kendrick Lamar, how many superstars I know Shay and Bottom

1541
01:15:21,479 --> 01:15:25,040
Speaker 2: Barrel betting had the number of outfit changes. I think

1542
01:15:25,080 --> 01:15:27,639
Speaker 2: that was at one and a half. So you got that, Yeah,

1543
01:15:27,680 --> 01:15:28,479
Speaker 2: just one and a half.

1544
01:15:28,760 --> 01:15:31,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, one and a half. We did the bottom that

1545
01:15:31,400 --> 01:15:32,760
Speaker 5: was that was the thing we bet on.

1546
01:15:33,560 --> 01:15:36,320
Speaker 2: You know how many how many gets don't I don't think.

1547
01:15:36,400 --> 01:15:38,720
Speaker 5: I don't think rappers change as much. That's why it

1548
01:15:38,760 --> 01:15:41,360
Speaker 5: one and a half is like tricky, Like it's different

1549
01:15:41,360 --> 01:15:45,479
Speaker 5: if it's Usher or somebody else, because they're like dances,

1550
01:15:45,479 --> 01:15:47,360
Speaker 5: they have a little more flamboyant like rappers just kind

1551
01:15:47,360 --> 01:15:48,519
Speaker 5: of get up there and do your thing with your

1552
01:15:48,520 --> 01:15:50,160
Speaker 5: white T shirt, like you don't do a whole lot.

1553
01:15:50,280 --> 01:15:52,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, trying to remember like in La right where we

1554
01:15:52,920 --> 01:15:56,599
Speaker 2: had everybody up there, Eminem and Snoop and everybody did

1555
01:15:56,600 --> 01:15:58,920
Speaker 2: they any of them go down into the trailer and

1556
01:15:59,040 --> 01:16:04,800
Speaker 2: change in the middle of that set. Don't recall, I

1557
01:16:04,880 --> 01:16:07,120
Speaker 2: was transfixed by what I was watching on the field,

1558
01:16:07,200 --> 01:16:10,120
Speaker 2: So it was a lot going on. Yeah, I was

1559
01:16:10,200 --> 01:16:12,640
Speaker 2: standing there because you know, one of the great secrets

1560
01:16:12,640 --> 01:16:15,040
Speaker 2: at the world that is so fine, I'll give it

1561
01:16:15,080 --> 01:16:17,240
Speaker 2: to anybody that's going to travel out here, is on

1562
01:16:17,320 --> 01:16:19,840
Speaker 2: the second and third levels, they've got a standing room only,

1563
01:16:20,680 --> 01:16:23,759
Speaker 2: first come, first serve, baby. So it's a little marked

1564
01:16:23,800 --> 01:16:26,960
Speaker 2: out section at the back end of those seating areas,

1565
01:16:27,280 --> 01:16:29,760
Speaker 2: and as long as you can get there first, you

1566
01:16:29,840 --> 01:16:32,400
Speaker 2: get to stand. So guess who had a fifty yard

1567
01:16:32,439 --> 01:16:35,120
Speaker 2: line seat for the Super Bowl? All right, So I

1568
01:16:35,160 --> 01:16:37,800
Speaker 2: was standing the whole time. But I'm young and in

1569
01:16:38,000 --> 01:16:41,880
Speaker 2: relatively decent shape. Knees were barking a little bit afterwards, Bucky.

1570
01:16:41,960 --> 01:16:45,200
Speaker 2: But I got to watch that Super Bowl halftime show

1571
01:16:45,240 --> 01:16:48,160
Speaker 2: live and in living color. So big win for me,

1572
01:16:49,320 --> 01:16:49,960
Speaker 2: my big win.

1573
01:16:50,760 --> 01:16:51,879
Speaker 5: It was worth it with Denise.

1574
01:16:52,280 --> 01:16:52,479
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1575
01:16:52,640 --> 01:16:54,639
Speaker 2: No. And the best of it though, was coming out

1576
01:16:54,680 --> 01:16:56,639
Speaker 2: of the game, because this is what we always talk about.

1577
01:16:56,680 --> 01:16:58,439
Speaker 2: You and I have had this conversation for many years

1578
01:16:58,479 --> 01:17:01,200
Speaker 2: at Fox Sports Radio. There's no promise that you're getting back,

1579
01:17:01,880 --> 01:17:05,479
Speaker 2: and I just remember Bengals fans they were happy to

1580
01:17:05,600 --> 01:17:09,559
Speaker 2: have participated because it was going to be the next decade. Plus.

1581
01:17:09,560 --> 01:17:12,000
Speaker 2: I'm not doing this to shade our guy, Andy Ferman.

1582
01:17:12,040 --> 01:17:14,599
Speaker 2: It's just a reminder. You know, a couple of years later,

1583
01:17:14,640 --> 01:17:17,599
Speaker 2: we've got the Eagles right back in this spot, and

1584
01:17:17,680 --> 01:17:19,960
Speaker 2: we talked about it a little bit before. Nick Nick

1585
01:17:20,000 --> 01:17:24,040
Speaker 2: Sirianni and the weight that is on his shoulders, Jalen Hurts.

1586
01:17:25,000 --> 01:17:27,080
Speaker 2: You know, there's been so much on Barkley and so

1587
01:17:27,120 --> 01:17:30,000
Speaker 2: many in the betting lines on Saquon Barkley that Jalen

1588
01:17:30,080 --> 01:17:34,000
Speaker 2: Hurts kind of is a well, he's just kind of there. Defensively,

1589
01:17:34,040 --> 01:17:36,400
Speaker 2: you get Brandon Graham back, so that helps in some

1590
01:17:36,439 --> 01:17:39,200
Speaker 2: of your rotations and to have a veteran savvy on

1591
01:17:39,240 --> 01:17:43,120
Speaker 2: the defense for Philly. But you know, legacy plays all around.

1592
01:17:43,920 --> 01:17:46,280
Speaker 2: We didn't get an official prediction from you, at least

1593
01:17:46,280 --> 01:17:48,800
Speaker 2: as long as I've been on air. So I've got

1594
01:17:48,800 --> 01:17:53,200
Speaker 2: the Eriza Butker difference making with the Chiefs winning this game.

1595
01:17:53,280 --> 01:17:53,880
Speaker 2: What do you say?

1596
01:17:54,760 --> 01:17:57,240
Speaker 5: Oh, okay, so I'm gonna go with it. Phil Deppa Eagles.

1597
01:17:57,320 --> 01:17:59,559
Speaker 5: I think I'm on record saying thirty one thirty. I

1598
01:17:59,560 --> 01:18:01,320
Speaker 5: want to make sure I'm consistent right there.

1599
01:18:01,360 --> 01:18:02,440
Speaker 2: Okay, things.

1600
01:18:03,880 --> 01:18:06,439
Speaker 5: Look if it comes down to we seem as a

1601
01:18:06,479 --> 01:18:08,479
Speaker 5: more talented team to Eagles of the most talented team.

1602
01:18:08,520 --> 01:18:09,720
Speaker 5: But for them to win, it has to be a

1603
01:18:09,720 --> 01:18:14,000
Speaker 5: clean game, minimal turnovers, penalties, kicking game errors. If they

1604
01:18:14,000 --> 01:18:17,720
Speaker 5: take care of business there, they win. To me, the

1605
01:18:17,720 --> 01:18:21,200
Speaker 5: only way Kansas City wins is if Philadelphia gifts them

1606
01:18:21,400 --> 01:18:25,120
Speaker 5: opportunities and so. But we'll see though, because Kansas City

1607
01:18:25,160 --> 01:18:28,439
Speaker 5: has lived off of others mistakes it seems like for

1608
01:18:28,479 --> 01:18:30,200
Speaker 5: the last two years, and we'll see if they can

1609
01:18:30,200 --> 01:18:31,040
Speaker 5: continue to keep it going.

1610
01:18:31,120 --> 01:18:32,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, because I'm right there with you, I got a

1611
01:18:32,760 --> 01:18:36,200
Speaker 2: thirty one twenty eight Kansas City win. Looking for a

1612
01:18:36,200 --> 01:18:39,840
Speaker 2: big play either at Hollywood Brown or Xavier Worthy late

1613
01:18:40,520 --> 01:18:43,160
Speaker 2: and then Butcker coming on to finish the deal. But

1614
01:18:43,200 --> 01:18:46,040
Speaker 2: that we do get a thriller in New Orleans, hopefully

1615
01:18:46,040 --> 01:18:48,760
Speaker 2: the lights stay on this time around. A lot of

1616
01:18:48,760 --> 01:18:53,479
Speaker 2: pomp and circumstance and pageantry there president in attendance as

1617
01:18:53,520 --> 01:18:56,240
Speaker 2: the players. My daughters were keenly aware of the Super

1618
01:18:56,280 --> 01:18:59,400
Speaker 2: Bowl week because that was the question going around the school. Halways,

1619
01:19:01,479 --> 01:19:04,519
Speaker 2: Travis Kelcey and Patrick Mahomes' response is to being asked

1620
01:19:04,520 --> 01:19:07,960
Speaker 2: about the arrival of President Trump that was the talking

1621
01:19:07,960 --> 01:19:09,639
Speaker 2: point for the Super Bowl. I'm like, let me tell

1622
01:19:09,640 --> 01:19:14,360
Speaker 2: you about x's and o's. Needless to say, Bucky they

1623
01:19:14,360 --> 01:19:17,599
Speaker 2: did not care. He's at Bucky Brooks. Find me over

1624
01:19:17,640 --> 01:19:21,200
Speaker 2: at Swollen Dome. Count Down to Kickoff by NJM Next
