1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:05,199
Speaker 1: The game is over and the Chief's Kingdom has firmly

2
00:00:05,559 --> 00:00:11,080
Speaker 1: planted its flag on top of football's highest summit. The

00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:17,720

Speaker 1: Mitch holt Is. He's been waiting his whole damn life

7
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:36,240
Speaker 1: to make that call. In Chiefe fans, They've been waiting

8
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:39,839
Speaker 1: fifty years for their team to hoist Lombardi, and it

9
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:43,640
Speaker 1: finally happened on this the second day of February two thousand,

10
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 1: twenty of the Kansas City Chiefs are the Super Bowl

00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:50,559
Speaker 1: champions after that thirty one twin over the San Francisco

12
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,239
Speaker 1: forty Niners, a game in which they were down like

13
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:55,640
Speaker 1: they were in all their postseason games by double digits,

14
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 1: this time in the fourth quarter, and yet Patrick Mahomes

15
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 1: and company would not be denied. Dan Kansas Here the

16
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:06,959
Speaker 1: Around the NFL Podcast presented by Little Caesar's and Yes,

17
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:09,399
Speaker 1: I'm coming to you from a hard rock stadium that

18
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:14,400
Speaker 1: is filled with heroes. Mark Sessler, Chris Westling, and Greg Rosenthal.

19
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 1: What is up? Boys? Hey? Dan? Still filled with some

20
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 1: Chiefs fans and employees. Usually I feel like we start

21
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 1: the taping after midnight, got it going a little quicker,

22
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 1: like there's still an m v P chant going on.

23
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,680
Speaker 1: It was exciting. These fans don't want to leave. They've waited,

24
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:37,120
Speaker 1: you know, half a century for this. Uh. Yeah, Usually

25
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 1: when we're here, it feels like we're ghosts, like passing

26
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 1: through the stadium and and and you can't. You're not

27
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 1: sure if you're human or not, so you get back

28
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 1: to the hotel. Um. But in this case, we're here,

29
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 1: the field is covered in confetti, and uh, we're on

30
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 1: the third level of the really nice hard rock stadium

31
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 1: here in Miami. Was a great super Bowl week. Um,

32
00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 1: a lot of fun, a great city for a super Bowl,

33
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 1: the eleven super Bowl in this area which is most

34
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 1: just past New Orleans, and uh, if you're a Chiefs fan, Um,

35
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 1: this was the dream come true. And I got to

36
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,639
Speaker 1: watch the second half of this game in the seats

37
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 1: with my cousin Matt, and I just you know, watching

38
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 1: an older gentleman guy looked like he was in his

39
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 1: fifties with his wife. Um. A Chiefs fan in Jersey.

40
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:30,799
Speaker 1: As that game, it became clear after obviously the Damian

41
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 1: well even before the Damian Williams run that clinched it um.

42
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 1: It was becoming clear. Then the Williams touchdown, and then

43
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 1: there was this release like, oh my god, the Chiefs

44
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 1: West are gonna win the Super Bowl. And it was

45
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 1: a well earned win and one that didn't look particularly

46
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,799
Speaker 1: like it was heading in this direction even halfway through

47
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 1: the fourth corner. Well, the Chiefs to me, their players

48
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 1: and coach kind of remind me of the fans. It's

49
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 1: been so long since they got that Super Bowl in

50
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:00,920
Speaker 1: for Andy Reid. It's been so long. A guy like

51
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 1: Frank Clark finds his way there, hunting Badger, finds his

52
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 1: way to Kansas City to make this happen. Terrell Sucks

53
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 1: is lucky enough to come along for the ride at

54
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 1: the end of the year. A lot of guys just

55
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 1: find their way to Kansas City and ended up winning

56
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 1: this one. And you're right, fourth quarter, at midway through

57
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, a nine point six percent win probab probability,

58
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 1: and I know that's not your fast. That the latest

59
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:29,079
Speaker 1: evidence that people need to stop stop talking about win probability.

60
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 1: It means nothing other than a Twitter talking point. It

61
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 1: means it's un it means it's unlikely the other team's

62
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 1: gonna win. And now h Kyle Shanahan would it peaked

63
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 1: at about ninety nine point six percent against the Patriots

64
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 1: early in the fourth quarter and now he's had pot

65
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 1: six percent. Well, that percentage I don't think takes into

66
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 1: account Patrick Mahomes. It just doesn't. Or the Chief's offense

67
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 1: or Andy Reid. Like the way that you have to

68
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 1: dominate Patrick Mahomes and make his life uncomfortable for sixty minutes,

69
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 1: I think is the hardest thing to do in the NFL.

70
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 1: The forty Niners balled out on defense, not unlike I

71
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 1: believe the Seahawks balled out on defense against the Broncos.

72
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 1: They did so many things right for the first three quarters.

73
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:19,039
Speaker 1: I think in a lot of scenarios and with a

74
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 1: lot of quarterbacks, that game would have been to six

75
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 1: at with eight minutes left in the fourth quarter and

76
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,279
Speaker 1: there never could have been a comeback. But Mahomes got

77
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: out of a lot of plays that could have gone worse.

78
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 1: He had a lot of negative plays. The Chiefs defense

79
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 1: did just enough, and it just shows you, yeah, you

80
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 1: can you can do a lot well, they held him

81
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 1: to five point three yards for play, which is a

82
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 1: very low number for the Chiefs, and the Chiefs still

83
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 1: put up thirty one points and nine drives. They barely

84
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 1: have the ball and they still went over. But not

85
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 1: surprising because that's what they've been doing for months and months.

86
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: And if we had one kernel of information going into

87
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 1: for the last two weeks to to base all our analysison,

88
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 1: that the Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes would open the third

89
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 1: quarter with back to back picks by Patrick Mahomes, and

90
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 1: that the Niners would be nestling a lead minutes into

91
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,040
Speaker 1: the fourth, you would think this is a perfect set

92
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,720
Speaker 1: up for San Francisco to run away with this thing.

93
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 1: But if you give Patrick Mahomes even ten minutes to

94
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 1: operate and he gets hot, everything's off the table. Fifty

95
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:27,159
Speaker 1: two and a half minutes of game time, the Niners

96
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 1: balled down in date and I remember thinking as the

97
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 1: game was reaching, as it's taking through the fourth quarter

98
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 1: and they have a twenty to ten lead, and thinking myself,

99
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:42,159
Speaker 1: what made the Chiefs so unstoppable when they were humming

100
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 1: in the regular season, but especially in those two comebacks

101
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,719
Speaker 1: in the a f C playoffs. It was that big

102
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 1: play ability that the Niners, through their dominant front four, um,

103
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 1: we're taking away Mahomes running for his life just a

104
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:00,480
Speaker 1: bit by his brilliance kept this game close because almost

105
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 1: any other quarterback decide of Lamar Jackson has a couple

106
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:06,279
Speaker 1: of sacks fumbles and the game gets away, like what

107
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,720
Speaker 1: von Miller did to Cam Newton a few years back.

108
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 1: But he was able to stay on his feet keep

109
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 1: the game from getting away and the getting what really

110
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 1: sticks out to me at that moment again, midway through

111
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, after the Tyreek Hill catches overturned on review,

112
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,279
Speaker 1: and you feel the entire building is psyching up. It

113
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 1: feels like the Niners are about to make the big

114
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 1: play two plays away from winning the Super Bowl. It

115
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 1: is third and a miles, third and fourteen. I believe

116
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,720
Speaker 1: third and fifteen, and I leaned to my cousin Matt,

117
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 1: I said, the most likely play is that you get

118
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:40,160
Speaker 1: try to get half of this back and then make

119
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 1: a manageable fourth down, fourth and five and get it done.

120
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 1: But no, that's not what the Chiefs do. That's not

121
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:47,840
Speaker 1: how they operate. And even in a game where they

122
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,479
Speaker 1: never made any big plays with the season on the line,

123
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,799
Speaker 1: Mahomes dropped back and this time found tyreek Hill West

124
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 1: on a busted coverage and that changed everything because you

125
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:04,600
Speaker 1: see Mahome drop back and unfurrol the ball before tyreek

126
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 1: Hill breaks open. He doesn't even know where tyreek Hill

127
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 1: is on the field. He just lets it go as

128
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 1: far as you can. There's a huge play in the

129
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 1: forty nine secondary let down their pass rush. That play

130
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 1: where they lost tyreek Hill was a trade avious more

131
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 1: defensive pass interference in the end zone. Watkins getting beat

132
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 1: by Sammy Watkins off the line of scrimmage. A lot

133
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 1: of big plays there by the secondary A loud Let's

134
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 1: listen to that. Let's listen to that call, uh the

135
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 1: big forty four yard because there really changed everything. The

136
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 1: game was never the same after that play. Four man

137
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 1: rush with those four or enough did they come. Mahomes

138
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 1: stepping up, He's throwing long down field for tyreek Hill,

139
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 1: got it to twenty yard line and then spun down

140
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 1: there the first giant chunk of the game. On third

141
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 1: down and fifteen and Mahomes guns it for forty four

142
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:57,239
Speaker 1: yards down to the San Francisco twenty one yard line.

143
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:00,120
Speaker 1: West hit on it so well with the anticipation and

144
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 1: that he needed to trust Tyree Hill to be there.

145
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 1: But the reason he had to let it go is

146
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: because DeForrest Buckner, who had a great game and I

147
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 1: think could have been in the mix for m v

148
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 1: P if anyone ever voted for defensive players. You know,

149
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 1: if the fort had won, hit Patrick Mahomes on that

150
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 1: play pretty much right after he let go of the ball.

151
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 1: But I love that you brought up that, you know, Dan,

152
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 1: that they went for a long pass on that play

153
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 1: rather than going short, because that is kind of what's

154
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 1: different about these Chiefs and especially Andy Reid. Maybe it's

155
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes who changed him, or maybe it's Andy Reid

156
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 1: who has a great effect on Mahomes, Like, you can't

157
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:37,440
Speaker 1: really answer that, but their aggressiveness was so key, And

158
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 1: Mahomes mentioned it was the same play call as in

159
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter against the Patriots in the a f

160
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 1: C Championship game last year, in a very similar third

161
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 1: and very long situation that they dialed it up for

162
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill and they hit it then, And that game

163
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 1: kind of reminded me of this one where the Patriots

164
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 1: played perfect defense and the Chiefs scored twenty one points

165
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:00,960
Speaker 1: in the fourth core or just like they did a

166
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 1: year ago. The difference this time is the Chiefs defense

167
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 1: made stops. The Chiefs defense let Patrick Mahomes go win,

168
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 1: go win games. You're rolling your eyes, Mark, No, not

169
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:11,959
Speaker 1: at all. I mean I I look at the Niners

170
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 1: offense because I said this was gonna be the game

171
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 1: where Kyle Shanahan, this was gonna be his coronation. And

172
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:20,320
Speaker 1: after that second Mahomes interception, that's where I thought they

173
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:23,080
Speaker 1: could seal this thing. And instead they go three and

174
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 1: out and can't generate anything. It's a punt and it's

175
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,959
Speaker 1: like they had chances through the entire fourth quarter to

176
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 1: be what the Niners have been on offense in this postseason,

177
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 1: and they looked nothing like it. And I was, I, I,

178
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 1: you're right that the Chief's defense, which won't be talked

179
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 1: about as much as Patrick Mahomes because Patrick Mahomes is

180
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,960
Speaker 1: the most talked about American over the last two weeks

181
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:46,840
Speaker 1: of all I mean, and it's just like, fine, let's

182
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:50,199
Speaker 1: just keep talking about Patrick Mahomes. He had two ugly interceptions.

183
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:51,959
Speaker 1: This is probably one of his weakest games of the

184
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 1: year until the final fifteen minutes and the Niners offense

185
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 1: went to sleep. I think if you're a Niners fin,

186
00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 1: you have to be extremely frustrated with how they disas

187
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 1: associated from who they've been down the stretch the whole game.

188
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 1: The whole game. I thought the play calling was the

189
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 1: play calling of a head coach who was worried about

190
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:13,080
Speaker 1: a quarterback being the deciding factor in the game. And

191
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 1: it didn't help that Jimmy Garoppolo threw that ugly interception

192
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 1: early in the game where he was just throwing a

193
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 1: nowhere where you know, there was pressure on him early

194
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 1: and he just kind of threw it up to nothing.

195
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:29,679
Speaker 1: And maybe that didn't make Kyle shaneen a little conservative.

196
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:31,839
Speaker 1: He talked about how at the end of the first

197
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 1: half he took a lot of grief, you know on Twitter.

198
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 1: I'm sure he didn't know about it, but you know

199
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:39,319
Speaker 1: by going run, not taking a time out, and then

200
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,560
Speaker 1: running the ball twice before they wounded up, you know,

201
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 1: wound up hitting a big plane almost getting a field goal.

202
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 1: But it was a very conservative approach, and he said,

203
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 1: we were very comfortable being tend to tend. We were

204
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,439
Speaker 1: we were we were happy to go to halftime ten

205
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 1: to tend if we hit a big run on that

206
00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 1: first run, then we would have maybe gone for it

207
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:05,320
Speaker 1: more that that was. We had another great season with

208
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:08,560
Speaker 1: sky Sports and Neil Reynolds and the whole gang. And

209
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 1: at the end of the first quarter, Mark and I

210
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 1: went and did a sky Sports hit with Josh Norman,

211
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 1: an excellent hit by the way, I thought it was

212
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 1: maybe a perfect hit. Maybe it's been. It's been a

213
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 1: season long battle. Every time two of us come downstairs

214
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 1: from the podcast studio. After two of us do a

215
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 1: sky it doesn't really matter which to it is. We

216
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 1: immediately tell the other too, like you're not gonna tell,

217
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,599
Speaker 1: but it's a battle in your mind because Dan and

218
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 1: I are immediately d m by Neil suggesting that the

219
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:42,440
Speaker 1: best were you the guy that said basically, every time

220
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 1: you you say something, then the opposite happens right as

221
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 1: you Because you know how our last hit on sky

222
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 1: Sports ended. It ended with me calling out our producer Mace. Sorry, Mace,

223
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 1: who right when Jimmy g I mean right when Mahomes

224
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 1: throws that second interception, he said, game over. And then

225
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 1: we get on the air and I just started talking

226
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 1: about there's no way this thing, this game is over.

227
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:13,320
Speaker 1: We've seen it too many times defenses, and so I'm

228
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 1: going to get back to my initials. You're gonna if

229
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:20,200
Speaker 1: you're gonna say Josh Norman, former All Pro cornerback, you know,

230
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:23,960
Speaker 1: active player. After we got up there, right around the

231
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 1: Jimmy g pick and the last thing Norman said and

232
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 1: then we went to break, it was like, this guy's

233
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:31,560
Speaker 1: a game manager. And I was like, oh, he's still

234
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 1: battling that. And I'm not saying this is not on

235
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:36,960
Speaker 1: Jimmy g this loss. But then the again, the play

236
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,719
Speaker 1: that comes to mind again, it's they get the big

237
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 1: play to Hill the Chiefs, they get in the end

238
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,840
Speaker 1: zone on the Kelsey touchdown, it's things are still okay.

239
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:49,080
Speaker 1: You have a big you have a big third and five,

240
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:51,319
Speaker 1: and you just gotta make a play. Somebody's got to

241
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:54,320
Speaker 1: step up and and and I know Kyle Shanahan is

242
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 1: people that love Shanahan and I have all the respect

243
00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 1: in the world for him as a as a coach,

244
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 1: but just this is the way sports work man. He's

245
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:04,680
Speaker 1: now got this around his neck and it's gonna just

246
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 1: continue to build around him as a career. Narrative that

247
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:11,960
Speaker 1: you had three o c with the Falcons four years

248
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:16,320
Speaker 1: ago now lead and you needed this offense, this genius

249
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:19,199
Speaker 1: uh and West you wrote an amazing piece on NFL

250
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:22,319
Speaker 1: dot Com breaking down these offenses. Uh. And the quarterback

251
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:24,840
Speaker 1: play you gotta make. Somebody's gotta make a play, and

252
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 1: maybe you gotta dial up a play to help out

253
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:28,840
Speaker 1: your team when when they're starting to get a little

254
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 1: tight and they couldn't do it. And that is gonna

255
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:35,679
Speaker 1: stick with Niners fans for a long time. Yeah. I

256
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 1: saw Andy Reid's wife after the game said he was

257
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 1: calm as I just saw an interview on TV. I

258
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:45,200
Speaker 1: didn't actually see her, but she said that, Uh, he

259
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 1: was as calm as a cucumber, and he was treating

260
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 1: this like it was just another game. And that's something

261
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 1: that you always say. But I think you could tell

262
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 1: that he handled it a little bit differently than Kyle Shannon. Well.

263
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 1: I think we should give Steve Spagnolo some credit for

264
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:04,679
Speaker 1: how that fourth quarter. That's three, Greg, He's got three

265
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 1: rings as a d C. Now he only got one

266
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:09,960
Speaker 1: in New York, He's only got one, so he's got

267
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,600
Speaker 1: two now, one in each conference. One of the great

268
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 1: dcs of all time, or at least I mean, he's

269
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 1: a big game DC, and I think the Chiefs coaching staff,

270
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 1: to their credit, kept trying different things on offense and

271
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 1: defense throughout the game until something worked. And in the

272
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 1: fourth quarter they started dialing up pressure. And this is

273
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 1: where I do think you can kind of put it

274
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 1: on Jimmy G, you know, to some extent. They started

275
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 1: dialing up pressure in those last three drives that went nowhere,

276
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 1: and it was pretty clear where the pressure is coming from.

277
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 1: Troy's calling it before the play. It's like it's overloaded.

278
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 1: They did it again and again, and Jimmy G held

279
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 1: the ball and he took some sacks, and Kendall Fuller

280
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 1: made a big time play, and Chris Jones knew the

281
00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 1: pressure was coming and just waited for Jimmy need to

282
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 1: throw it on one third down and just jumped up

283
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 1: and slapped it down. He made a lot of big

284
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 1: place So the players made big plays, but they didn't

285
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 1: get it all blocked up, and when they did, Jimmy

286
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 1: G didn't have an answer. And sometimes that's the difference

287
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 1: between a guy like Mahomes or a guy like Brady

288
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:17,560
Speaker 1: having an answer when those blitz has come in a

289
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 1: big spot. He didn't have an answer. I thought that

290
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 1: after the interception by Jimmy g early on that there

291
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:25,080
Speaker 1: was a at least a two quarter chunk of the

292
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 1: game where he did respond well and he he you know,

293
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 1: he's not making killer after that pick and before the

294
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 1: Chiefs come back, he could not miss. In fact, every

295
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 1: throw was right on the numbers in the hands. That's

296
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 1: what makes this such a tough loss for the night.

297
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 1: I always the Super Bowl loss is devastating, but they

298
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 1: looked like they were rolling. The defense was lights out

299
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 1: and Garoppolo was on target and it changed so quickly

300
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:53,640
Speaker 1: he got the fourth quarter. Garoppolo got a higher pf

301
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 1: F grade for this game than the Homes and I'm

302
00:15:56,360 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 1: not saying it was even that close, but you still

303
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 1: we started talking on the way over here and there

304
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 1: is kind of a conversation, and you know, it wasn't

305
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 1: a great Mahomes game compared to other games because he

306
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 1: did have those negative plays he had, you know, he

307
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 1: took and a couple of interceptions. You know, that's what

308
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 1: he was. He was frenetic, and you could think of

309
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 1: that drive that ended with the red zone interception where

310
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 1: he threw the ball behind Hill and some of the

311
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 1: forty Niners receivers helped out Jimmy d with he was

312
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 1: off the mark multiple that gets intercepted. But so many

313
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 1: of the players that Mahomes had to make. I think

314
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 1: we're with his first or second read taken away and

315
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 1: he just had to make something happen, and he did

316
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 1: that pretty often, and he was never comfortable. But ultimately

317
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 1: you get credit for once your defense gets the ball back,

318
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 1: you drove them down the field for those two touchdowns

319
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 1: to win the Super Bowl. Like that's that's what ultimately matters.

320
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 1: I'm not in him credit for Damian Williams thirty eight

321
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:04,880
Speaker 1: yard touched the last first time we mentioned Damian Williams name,

322
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 1: and he should have been the m v P. Bad

323
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:08,960
Speaker 1: job by the voters on that one. Actually good job

324
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 1: sandwich wise for me. Yeah, but they're basically saying no

325
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 1: position is worth celebrating except the quarterback in this game.

326
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 1: I don't understand how he's named m v P when

327
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:22,119
Speaker 1: it is probably the second or third worst game of

328
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 1: his entire career. Ten fourth quarter, you are by passing

329
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:33,719
Speaker 1: all of the bad plays. He knew he made bad plays,

330
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 1: but in the fourth go to the Super Bowl. Ten

331
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:40,399
Speaker 1: plays eighty three yards seven place sixty five yards leave

332
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:43,199
Speaker 1: out the last touchdown. That is as money as it

333
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:45,639
Speaker 1: gets in the biggest of all spots. And I know,

334
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 1: so what Damian Williams did just doesn't even matter. I

335
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:50,879
Speaker 1: did say that he had a better game than the

336
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:55,199
Speaker 1: Homes I mean, let down, calm down. He did. It

337
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 1: was a garbage time touchdown essentially at the end. That's

338
00:17:57,600 --> 00:17:59,679
Speaker 1: like he was having a good game in the first half.

339
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 1: I thought they showed a lot of trust to Damian Williams.

340
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:03,440
Speaker 1: I would at least have the game I'm talking m

341
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:06,440
Speaker 1: v P, but that they established the run game and

342
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 1: I would have given Damian Williams the m v P two.

343
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:11,640
Speaker 1: I he did make people missy. He made a receiving touchdown.

344
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 1: I'm not like offended by it because it is a

345
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 1: great comeback. There's this you know that that stat that

346
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:21,159
Speaker 1: you know, our our our shadowy league figure Mark Brady

347
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 1: sent us that only three teams in the history of

348
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl have gone into the fourth quarter with

349
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 1: the ten point lead and blown it. And unfortunately Kyle

350
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:32,240
Speaker 1: Shanahan has been the coach you know of the last

351
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:34,199
Speaker 1: two to happen. And I got thinking about it, and

352
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:35,719
Speaker 1: I was like, well, Richard Sherman has been on two

353
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:39,119
Speaker 1: of those two. You know, Tom Brady had a fourteen

354
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:42,439
Speaker 1: point fourth quarter comeback against what that year was the

355
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:45,679
Speaker 1: most ferocious defense. Very similar in a lot of ways

356
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:49,360
Speaker 1: when the Patriots came back against the Seahawks, so and

357
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 1: and Patrick Mahomes did it today, It's like, I don't

358
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:53,200
Speaker 1: care how you get there. If you could do that

359
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 1: in that spot, and he made a lot of plays

360
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 1: before that, I'm not gonna be too upset that he

361
00:18:57,280 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 1: wins an m v P. Let me just say one

362
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 1: more thing about in terms of Mahomes statistically far from

363
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 1: his best game and did was he sloppy early on?

364
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:07,960
Speaker 1: And did he makes some mistakes? But I just want

365
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 1: to hit on again how ferocious the Niners were in

366
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 1: their pass rush. And I thought there were several places,

367
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:16,400
Speaker 1: even if they didn't lead to big games or didn't

368
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 1: necessarily lead to scoring drives, where it seemed like a

369
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:22,160
Speaker 1: lesser quarterback would have been snowed under. He was escaping

370
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:25,439
Speaker 1: pressure all game, running for his life, and I just

371
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 1: think those are the things that maybe doesn't show up

372
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:29,440
Speaker 1: in the back in the box score. And it's also

373
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:31,400
Speaker 1: why I don't buy the idea, oh he's rattled because

374
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 1: he threw a pick or two. I think he stayed.

375
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:36,480
Speaker 1: He had remarkable composure in my mind against the defense

376
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 1: that smelled blood, and he refused to back down. I

377
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 1: think it was not a perfect game by him, but

378
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 1: a reminder of why he's so special. I'd also wonder

379
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:47,240
Speaker 1: after the first of two huge shots he took in

380
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:50,879
Speaker 1: this game, that first hint he took was was he

381
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:53,080
Speaker 1: entirely healthy? We just don't know. I mean, he he

382
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,800
Speaker 1: might have been working through some stuff. But the Niners

383
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:58,160
Speaker 1: just their secondary collapsed in the end. But they played

384
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 1: a nice job early on of like not giving him

385
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:02,640
Speaker 1: a lot of looks down field right like Fred Warner

386
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:05,880
Speaker 1: was awesome. I guess that's that's the point I'm trying

387
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 1: to make is I think the best defense in the

388
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:13,159
Speaker 1: league played their very best for three quarters and they

389
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 1: still lost. So that to me is a measure of

390
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 1: the greatness of the Chiefs and Andy Reid and the

391
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:23,639
Speaker 1: whole organization, like the whole team, because the defense really

392
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:26,679
Speaker 1: did make some baller plays in the fourth quarter. I mean,

393
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:30,240
Speaker 1: they really did make stops. Most Chiefs games this year,

394
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 1: or certainly last year, like they didn't make those stops

395
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:34,359
Speaker 1: and it would just have been going back and forth

396
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 1: in the end that you didn't even have to sweat

397
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:38,679
Speaker 1: out the ending. It's their trademark. It's it's not just

398
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:41,680
Speaker 1: that to the first team ever to come from behind

399
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:44,119
Speaker 1: double digits three times in a playoff run. It's that

400
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 1: they ended up winning all three of those games by

401
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 1: double digits. They've got a fast break offense like a

402
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 1: basketball team, and every a f C team now has

403
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:55,639
Speaker 1: to build their team to stop the Chief's offense. And

404
00:20:55,720 --> 00:21:01,719
Speaker 1: it helps make Andy Reid or bold I think like

405
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:04,160
Speaker 1: he if he had. There was a criticism of Andy Reid.

406
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:06,879
Speaker 1: It was that he was an aggressive coach until he

407
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 1: got a big lead. He was the guy who would

408
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 1: blow big leads. He would get conservative. And you have

409
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:13,400
Speaker 1: to say, like in the first half of this game,

410
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:16,919
Speaker 1: he was the aggressive one. He went for it on

411
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 1: fourth down multiple times and he hit it like and

412
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:25,119
Speaker 1: and points came from those. Kyle Shanahan kicked a field

413
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:29,680
Speaker 1: goal on they were on the goal line, and he's

414
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:35,120
Speaker 1: doing direct snaps to Damien Williams on fourth and one

415
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:37,199
Speaker 1: from the four. I mean that is about his That

416
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 1: is his ball z A call as the Philly Special

417
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:41,240
Speaker 1: and it was not a good snap. It was one

418
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 1: of the most underrated players in that game. That's the

419
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:46,399
Speaker 1: direct staff that went to Damian Williams was like a

420
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 1: foot and a half to his right, and Damian Williams

421
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:52,120
Speaker 1: snatched that thing and then he went in if most

422
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 1: running backs, I feel like, aren't gonna catch that, and

423
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:57,880
Speaker 1: everyone's killing Andy Reid, So it gets to it. Sometimes

424
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:01,120
Speaker 1: it's these players that that make the ball plays look good.

425
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 1: And like Andy Reid was going for all game, like

426
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:07,080
Speaker 1: to score that touchdown. They were running opstion plays where

427
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:09,920
Speaker 1: my homes was getting killed, Like those were brilliant play calls.

428
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 1: You know what the hell of it is? How many

429
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 1: times do you think Kyle Shanahan and the last three

430
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 1: years has told himself, given himself a pep talk and said,

431
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 1: if I ever get this chance again to get back

432
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl, I'm gonna be aggressive. I'm gonna

433
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 1: go for it. We're gonna handle fourth thounds differently. And

434
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:28,200
Speaker 1: when push came to shove coach the same way did

435
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 1: the last time he blew up Steady reminds me more

436
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 1: of Sean McVeigh coming out of last year's super Bowl

437
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 1: where you're gonna have an off season questioning everything that

438
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 1: happened in this sixty minute I see. I never. I

439
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 1: think you're right West, But I also never. I didn't

440
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:45,280
Speaker 1: put almost any of twenty three on Kyle Shianna and

441
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 1: and I put a lot more on this. And I

442
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 1: will remember he had regrets after that game. He know

443
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:51,359
Speaker 1: he did. Oh no, I know he did, But I

444
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 1: don't think he necessarily did a lot of things wrong.

445
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:57,240
Speaker 1: They they got too much of the blame. It will

446
00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:59,399
Speaker 1: be a talking point all off, whether you think that

447
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:02,200
Speaker 1: or not. Right this year, though, I think he deserves

448
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:05,840
Speaker 1: the blame, and it's gonna really haunt me. The image

449
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:07,919
Speaker 1: they showed. I think it was after the haunt you

450
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:10,000
Speaker 1: I want to hear about. I don't know if it

451
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 1: was like the Williams. I'm serious, you got a lot

452
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:13,440
Speaker 1: going for you. I don't know if it was like

453
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 1: the Williams's gonna wake up like Axel Rose in the

454
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:18,879
Speaker 1: November rain video covered in sweat heaving. I don't know

455
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:21,439
Speaker 1: if maybe it was the failed fourth down by the

456
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:24,159
Speaker 1: forty niners um that gave the Chiefs the ball the

457
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 1: last time, or was the Williams run, But they did

458
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:30,200
Speaker 1: a quick sideline shot of Kyle Shanahan where it looked

459
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 1: like all the air was out of his body and

460
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:35,479
Speaker 1: he just looked like a ghost, like it was like

461
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 1: the moment that he knew it had all happened again,

462
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 1: and they just looked like. That was a tough press

463
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:45,080
Speaker 1: conference to listen to. He was like just through great.

464
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:46,920
Speaker 1: He he handled it really well. But you had to

465
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:49,200
Speaker 1: feel because when you when when you're the O scen

466
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:53,159
Speaker 1: in Atlanta and the and the unthinkable happens, you know

467
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:55,959
Speaker 1: what that hurts. That will stick with you forever. But

468
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 1: the next day you're on a plane and you're going

469
00:23:57,600 --> 00:23:59,680
Speaker 1: to the press conference to take a new head coaching job.

470
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:02,840
Speaker 1: When you're in the big chair, I'm sure this one

471
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 1: will will haunt him. Speaking of haunting this that's gonna

472
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 1: stay with him forever and hopefully because he seems like

473
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 1: a good dude and he's a great coach, and he's

474
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:14,160
Speaker 1: an exciting type guy, uh to have in the league

475
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:17,439
Speaker 1: because he's so smart and he's changing the game with

476
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:20,359
Speaker 1: the way he's calling games. Uh, you just hope he

477
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:22,639
Speaker 1: has another chance to get to the summit because maybe

478
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 1: maybe we're looking at the new Andy Reid. You know

479
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:28,919
Speaker 1: now that Read is the guy that everyone respected as

480
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:30,959
Speaker 1: this great offensive mind that could never get him over

481
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 1: the hump. And Read, like you want to talk about

482
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:34,840
Speaker 1: winners and losers, maybe we'll do something at the end

483
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:38,119
Speaker 1: of the show. Winner Andy Reads such a big winner,

484
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:41,480
Speaker 1: and we talked about the week and everybody talked about it.

485
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 1: But I just I, I honestly feel like in my

486
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 1: years covering the sport and just being a football fan,

487
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:52,880
Speaker 1: Read has been just such a remarkable, little, remarkably durable

488
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:55,959
Speaker 1: and impressive head coach. But he needed that one. He

489
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 1: needed this one to really be the guy that you

490
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:01,920
Speaker 1: say no brainer for Canton, and he's the guy we've

491
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:04,119
Speaker 1: talked about how he's the godfather, and he's got the

492
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 1: coaching tree, and he's got the longevity, and he's got

493
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:08,560
Speaker 1: the winds. But now he's got the ring. Well, it

494
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 1: seems slightly absurd to me with the whole Hall of

495
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:13,360
Speaker 1: Fame thing that had they been nipped in this game,

496
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:15,360
Speaker 1: that suddenly he's not a Hall of Famer Win. All

497
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 1: these qualities are still true of him. But but but

498
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:21,680
Speaker 1: but that's exactly how it works, because you'd have to

499
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:24,159
Speaker 1: be hard pressed to find too many other coaches that

500
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 1: would get in that situation. So in a way, it

501
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 1: feels very just. And this game is not a game

502
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 1: where one for me, one side was easy to root against.

503
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 1: They're both very likable teams. And the Chiefs, though this

504
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 1: feels like a long time coming. I think the stadium

505
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:44,120
Speaker 1: had to be sixty Chiefs. Now, that's me guessing. When

506
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:46,359
Speaker 1: we were the three of us, Greg West and I

507
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:48,040
Speaker 1: and I wanted this is a comment I would make

508
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:51,679
Speaker 1: about watching football in person, tucked away in a and

509
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 1: this was very nice. They put us in these nice

510
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:56,919
Speaker 1: seats in this press box, but uh, thick sound glass

511
00:25:56,920 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 1: windows and soundless TVs and it was an not ex

512
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:03,200
Speaker 1: experience trying to talk the emotion of the game. And Dan,

513
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 1: you were out there in the second half with one

514
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 1: of your cousins, and you you you felt the second

515
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 1: half in a totally different way than I have to

516
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 1: say as somebody that grew up as a teenager. Once

517
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:18,680
Speaker 1: I realized I wasn't gonna play sports professionally, I wanted

518
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:21,400
Speaker 1: to write about sports. And then when I started working

519
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:24,919
Speaker 1: at the Journal News in Westchester County, New York and

520
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:27,720
Speaker 1: started to learn what the business was about, I became

521
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 1: very quickly disillusioned by it, to see how I got

522
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:33,720
Speaker 1: into it for the love of it, and then it

523
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:35,560
Speaker 1: gets kind of sucked away and it becomes a job

524
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:38,119
Speaker 1: for people. And this is no disrespect for all the

525
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:40,680
Speaker 1: great reporters up there, uh, because they were all the

526
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 1: best football writers in the business were up there. But

527
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:45,959
Speaker 1: I couldn't. I felt like we were hermetically sealed, right,

528
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 1: that's well behind that glass. And uh, it just reminded me, honestly,

529
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:53,000
Speaker 1: more than anything else, just how lucky we are, uh

530
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:55,880
Speaker 1: that we get to experience the sport as fans still

531
00:26:56,200 --> 00:27:00,080
Speaker 1: that it just it's just it's crazy to me that

532
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,920
Speaker 1: that's how Uh, you know, sportswriters tend to cover these

533
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 1: games from the box. One thing you could hear in

534
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 1: that box the moment that's gonna be on Andy Reid

535
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:11,520
Speaker 1: a football life, when they start chanting his name, you know,

536
00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 1: with a few seconds left, the entire Chiefs sections just

537
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:20,119
Speaker 1: chanting and Andy. And that was Yeah, that I it

538
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:24,639
Speaker 1: was a reminder like that, when you're in the press box,

539
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:28,480
Speaker 1: it all seems like and I think in a library

540
00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:30,480
Speaker 1: and a whisper to Yeah, there was no there was nothing.

541
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 1: There's nothing it's just different. I mean, that's that's how

542
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:35,680
Speaker 1: it is normally. You know, we're out in the crowd

543
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:37,560
Speaker 1: or in an open air thing, and we actually were

544
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:40,359
Speaker 1: lucky to get moved down there. You know, we got

545
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:45,480
Speaker 1: helped out by doing that. But I when you're in person,

546
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:48,359
Speaker 1: it goes by, so it goes by so fast, and

547
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:51,439
Speaker 1: you do get that. You do are reminded watching it

548
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:53,959
Speaker 1: in person in general, whether you're in the crowd or not,

549
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:57,359
Speaker 1: that these are just like people playing the game, and

550
00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:00,880
Speaker 1: it doesn't feel as like weighty and emotion and crazy,

551
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 1: like what even when it's your team and I've watched

552
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:05,880
Speaker 1: the Patriots obviously, here at you're just like, oh, these

553
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:08,680
Speaker 1: are just like dudes on the field play in the game,

554
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 1: whereas at home it feels like life and death and gladiators.

555
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:15,679
Speaker 1: But that's TV, like you really, that's the show. Like,

556
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:20,720
Speaker 1: that's that's TV. It's not necessarily the sport itself. Um,

557
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:26,479
Speaker 1: all right, let's let's pause here halftime, Let's talk halftime.

558
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 1: What do you guys think of Shakira and jay La.

559
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 1: It might have been one of the I love the

560
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 1: Beyonce one. I think this might have been one of

561
00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:35,919
Speaker 1: the best half times that I've ever seen, but of

562
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:39,280
Speaker 1: any super Bowl I thought they both knocked it completely huge,

563
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 1: massive home runs. I have a prediction. I think this

564
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 1: is the this is the future of the halftime show.

565
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:48,080
Speaker 1: That it's so hard to hit on an artist that

566
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 1: everybody's into. But I like the idea of this co

567
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:55,000
Speaker 1: headline where you got the twelve minutes and in this case,

568
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:58,800
Speaker 1: Shakira takes a stage. Shakira outrageous. I get the appeal.

569
00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 1: What a nice job. You're in a big spot, Chris

570
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:04,360
Speaker 1: Russo and you know I'm using Chris Russo language again.

571
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 1: She can She did a nice shot out damn Ikea.

572
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 1: She really well. Um. I wonder what his actual assessment is,

573
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:15,360
Speaker 1: but yeah, as someone someone I saw point out and

574
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:19,960
Speaker 1: like Twitter was very horny after that. And then Jlo

575
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:22,960
Speaker 1: comes out around the six minute mark. She does great

576
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:24,960
Speaker 1: work and you remember, oh, she's got some bangers. I

577
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:28,320
Speaker 1: kind of forgot Jalow head bangers. Um and uh, I

578
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 1: just it was. It was a good halftime. The Maroon

579
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:34,560
Speaker 1: five was a large misstep and now we're back on track.

580
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:37,120
Speaker 1: Let's go more co headliners and nix up the genres

581
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:39,040
Speaker 1: and go that round. I would say one thing you know,

582
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 1: I'm the one that put in the homework consult hustlers

583
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 1: UH this last offseason and was roundly, you know, dismissed

584
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:47,120
Speaker 1: by the three of you for doing that. But I

585
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:49,720
Speaker 1: knew this was coming after watching them. You weren't dismissing.

586
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:51,600
Speaker 1: You were more questioned. It was like, why did he

587
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:53,840
Speaker 1: go opening night? I know how I felt, and I

588
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:56,720
Speaker 1: felt totally. I did not go at night time to

589
00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 1: begin with. It was like it was a it was

590
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:01,720
Speaker 1: a we into the run and all that said, I

591
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:03,400
Speaker 1: will I just want to say this, not to get

592
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 1: too off track, but as I vouched for co headlining gigs,

593
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:09,360
Speaker 1: I went to this a T and tea party where

594
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:13,000
Speaker 1: Lady Gaga did a whole show last night. She should

595
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:15,680
Speaker 1: be the first person to ever do a headline again

596
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:19,600
Speaker 1: that there's not too many out there. Gaga is where

597
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:21,360
Speaker 1: it's at to me right now in terms of pop

598
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:25,280
Speaker 1: stars that have the true reach that I'm I'm all

599
00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:27,760
Speaker 1: team Gaga for a second go around. But yes, I

600
00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 1: did like the co headline. Best music performers in the

601
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 1: night I thought was Yolanda Adams singing God Bless America.

602
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:36,240
Speaker 1: She was fantastic. Landa did a nice just a nice

603
00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:44,160
Speaker 1: shot by Landapod too. What about a snowy hikey I'm

604
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:47,440
Speaker 1: waiting for. Speaking of Chris Russo, the mad Dog was

605
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:50,880
Speaker 1: on our preview show on Thursday at Radio Row and

606
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:53,320
Speaker 1: do you have that, Ricky? He he made a prediction

607
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:56,600
Speaker 1: that maybe it's time to like plug in on all

608
00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 1: Chris Russo related predictions. Let's listen in I they get

609
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:03,200
Speaker 1: today even game, Um, I think first of Freny one

610
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:10,040
Speaker 1: will win. I'll probably lean mahomes. There you go, mad

611
00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:12,200
Speaker 1: Dog nails it. I guess doing this for nearly four

612
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:14,920
Speaker 1: decades allows you to see things that others do not.

613
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:17,600
Speaker 1: It's funny when he said that, I thought that was

614
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:21,960
Speaker 1: an interesting, like very specific thing to say. If someone

615
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:24,520
Speaker 1: gets the third one, I guess that would that would

616
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:27,120
Speaker 1: be good for them. If they got the thirty one first,

617
00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:30,400
Speaker 1: that that's big. That's good. All right, Let's let's get

618
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 1: back to the game scientists. Something that jumped out to

619
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:36,240
Speaker 1: you guys as you were watching this kid the George

620
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:40,120
Speaker 1: Kittle offensive pass interference, which you like the call? I

621
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:42,560
Speaker 1: don't like it at all. We saw our riverant took

622
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 1: us through a play remarkably like this during our talent

623
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:48,080
Speaker 1: summit way back in June, and most of the crowd

624
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:50,719
Speaker 1: said no. He asked us, is this pass interference? And

625
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 1: most people said no, it's not. He said, yes it is,

626
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 1: and the coaches wanted called offensive pass interference. And when

627
00:31:57,320 --> 00:32:00,200
Speaker 1: you watch it, I rewatching about seven different times. It's

628
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:02,200
Speaker 1: just a weak call. To me, I disagree with our

629
00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:04,760
Speaker 1: river on then I disagree with him. Now that's not

630
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:07,800
Speaker 1: enough considering all of the pushing and hand checking that

631
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:11,600
Speaker 1: goes on between receivers and DB's downfield. To me, you

632
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:13,360
Speaker 1: let that go. It was a huge plane. Just a

633
00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 1: little context that was late in the second quarter the

634
00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:18,800
Speaker 1: Niners and you know Kyle Shannon, and we're not going

635
00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:20,560
Speaker 1: to pile on this guy. It's a tough night for him.

636
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:22,920
Speaker 1: But some of the clock management at the end of

637
00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:25,440
Speaker 1: the second quarter. I thought he was a little lethargic.

638
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 1: But the it's a deep throw down the right sideline,

639
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:31,440
Speaker 1: kittled to me, he pushed off a little, but it's like,

640
00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:34,400
Speaker 1: what are you gonna when these guys are these gladiators

641
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:37,040
Speaker 1: are in combat trying to just get open. I didn't

642
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:40,640
Speaker 1: think it was anything egregious. It's changed. It costs. Also,

643
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:41,920
Speaker 1: the best throw of the night, but I grew up

644
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 1: beautiful throw. It cost them at least three points. Uh,

645
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:47,280
Speaker 1: and who knows what happens if they might have went

646
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 1: in there. Who knows it was. It was a fascinating

647
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:53,320
Speaker 1: turn of events in that couple of minutes where it

648
00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:55,880
Speaker 1: could have gone either way. Kyle Sanan was just trying

649
00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:57,800
Speaker 1: to run the ball and go to halftime, which you

650
00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:01,400
Speaker 1: know we've talked about already, and was kind of gutless um.

651
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 1: But then read read went the other way and he

652
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:09,520
Speaker 1: took a time out at third and five seconds. He said,

653
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 1: I don't want to go to halftime. I want to

654
00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:13,280
Speaker 1: try to get Patrick Mahomes the ball. I'm gonna trust

655
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:16,400
Speaker 1: my defense here. It didn't pay off. The forty Niners

656
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:18,840
Speaker 1: ended up getting in a position, uh to do it,

657
00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 1: and then the kid will call, you know, ended up

658
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:24,240
Speaker 1: kind of evening out. He was moving and his arm

659
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 1: was extended, and so that I just feel like that

660
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:29,920
Speaker 1: is that they're gonna call that when it's totally extended

661
00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:33,440
Speaker 1: and there's contact. The only problem which I would understand

662
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 1: forty Niners arguing about is they weren't calling anything. And

663
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:40,640
Speaker 1: I'm a little I'm a little I guess ambivalent about

664
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:43,200
Speaker 1: them calling in Old Bill Binovitch here for the Super

665
00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:47,160
Speaker 1: Bowl because he's known to not call any penalties and

666
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:50,800
Speaker 1: they love putting it in big spots, And I thought

667
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:53,160
Speaker 1: Mike Pereira, I think it was him, made a great

668
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:57,000
Speaker 1: point in the week. All the biggest problems the NFL

669
00:33:57,040 --> 00:33:59,400
Speaker 1: has had in the last few years and big moments

670
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:02,360
Speaker 1: have been on calls, and so they bring Old Vanovich

671
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:04,800
Speaker 1: in because they don't call it. This crew doesn't call

672
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:08,080
Speaker 1: any penalties. They were letting him hand checking in battle

673
00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 1: all night, so that it wasn't it. Maybe it wasn't consistent.

674
00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:14,160
Speaker 1: There's a huge subset of the football community that would

675
00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:18,759
Speaker 1: rather have a game be light on calls than I

676
00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:22,040
Speaker 1: don't want to an exhibition of football entertainment where it's

677
00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:24,239
Speaker 1: all flags going over the field. Come on, I was

678
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:27,239
Speaker 1: gonna say, uh and West it's it's I'm glad you

679
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:28,879
Speaker 1: brought it up because it was such a big play

680
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:33,320
Speaker 1: in the game. But Championship weekend and Super Bowl Sunday,

681
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:38,680
Speaker 1: I'm glad there wasn't some massive officiating brew haha. And

682
00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:41,200
Speaker 1: there wasn't over the last three games of the season,

683
00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:43,920
Speaker 1: the three most important games, So that to me was

684
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:47,160
Speaker 1: it was a positive because it was getting to be rediculous.

685
00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:52,279
Speaker 1: To be quite honest, I'll throw out one thing that

686
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:55,320
Speaker 1: I'll remember from this game, and I think forty Niners

687
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:58,560
Speaker 1: fans really really will too. And maybe not quite the same,

688
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:01,799
Speaker 1: but similar to that Jared off throw last year that

689
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:05,239
Speaker 1: Jason mccordy broke up. You know, we got on Kyle

690
00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:08,640
Speaker 1: Shay in a hand for not being aggressive third and ten,

691
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:12,719
Speaker 1: it's it's one forty four, like left I believe still

692
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:14,719
Speaker 1: at the No, it's it's a little earlier than that.

693
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:18,040
Speaker 1: Third and ten. You know, are they gonna try to

694
00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:20,480
Speaker 1: get five yards and then go for it on fourth down? No,

695
00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:23,759
Speaker 1: they set up a shot play for their quarterback, uh

696
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:28,040
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo to go deep down the field. Emmanuel Sanders

697
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:33,160
Speaker 1: is open. He beats his guy in a huge spot

698
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:35,680
Speaker 1: where you need that first down to keep the game going.

699
00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:38,359
Speaker 1: They say, no, we we see something we like, let's

700
00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:41,640
Speaker 1: let Jimmy go down the field for a fifty yard touchdown.

701
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:45,720
Speaker 1: Sanders beats his guy and Jimmy doesn't give him a chance.

702
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:51,440
Speaker 1: And you know how much is not getting to the ball. Well,

703
00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:54,280
Speaker 1: you overthrew him. I mean he he has the defender

704
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:56,799
Speaker 1: by a foot and a half, didn't I didn't get

705
00:35:56,800 --> 00:35:59,920
Speaker 1: a good angle that showed me there was some press

706
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:03,919
Speaker 1: are on the play. But I think Jimmy Garoppolo's would

707
00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:05,640
Speaker 1: say that's a throw I can make. I think to

708
00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:08,960
Speaker 1: your point. By then, that's when Kansas City was starting

709
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:11,640
Speaker 1: to light him up. And that play happened sandwiched in

710
00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:15,480
Speaker 1: between a batted pass. Yeah, it happened in between Kendrick

711
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:19,120
Speaker 1: Bourne and Kendall Fuller nearly picking off a pass by

712
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:22,359
Speaker 1: Jimmy G. Then the one you mentioned, and then in

713
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:26,280
Speaker 1: the grasp fourth down over where he just he froze

714
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:28,279
Speaker 1: a little bit and didn't get rid of the ball

715
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:32,000
Speaker 1: on that Frank Clark fourth down sack where you gotta

716
00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:34,640
Speaker 1: get rid of the ball. And so I think Jimmy

717
00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:36,799
Speaker 1: G had a good season, and I think you could

718
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:38,400
Speaker 1: win a super Bowl with him because he could have

719
00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:41,800
Speaker 1: won tonight. But there's gonna be questions back to me

720
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:45,280
Speaker 1: G unfortunately. Yeah, Yeah, I think that's that's just again

721
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:47,640
Speaker 1: a part of the game, and they I think Tom

722
00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:50,160
Speaker 1: Brady did an interview today, I think with his boy

723
00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:53,680
Speaker 1: Jim Gray. Yes he was. I did not answer your half,

724
00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:57,920
Speaker 1: so I took a walk at halftime and they were

725
00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:03,960
Speaker 1: playing the halftime interview you uh what, Mark, They were

726
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:05,960
Speaker 1: playing Tom Brady and Jim Gray, and Tom Brady was

727
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:08,719
Speaker 1: breaking down the game pretty good. I I enjoyed it. Well,

728
00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:11,080
Speaker 1: he's basically almost retired at this point. Um Now his

729
00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:14,960
Speaker 1: hair is great, so it's a very fitting um No,

730
00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:18,240
Speaker 1: but they he did say that something on some levels cliche.

731
00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:20,560
Speaker 1: But when Tom Brady says that there's more gravity toss

732
00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:23,720
Speaker 1: to it, that that this this game, in this stage,

733
00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:27,000
Speaker 1: it could change your life. And if you can make

734
00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:30,839
Speaker 1: that play, if Jimmy Garoppolo converts one more first down

735
00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:33,120
Speaker 1: or makes one more big play, or he most makes

736
00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:35,400
Speaker 1: a guy miss. Uh, we're not talking about any of

737
00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:38,360
Speaker 1: this stuff. It's it's amazing and it's cruel in a

738
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:41,040
Speaker 1: lot of ways the way sports are. But now Kyle

739
00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:43,360
Speaker 1: Shanahan is almost like the new Andy Reid. He should

740
00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:44,840
Speaker 1: be so lucky to end up like Andy Reid in

741
00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:47,080
Speaker 1: twenty years, but that he's gonna be the guy. Is

742
00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:49,200
Speaker 1: he gonna be able to get over the humb And

743
00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:52,759
Speaker 1: now Jimmy Garoppolo, you got you got Josh Norman saying

744
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:54,640
Speaker 1: it on Sky Sports and now you're gonna have every

745
00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:58,000
Speaker 1: JIBRONI on the morning talk show saying it is Jimmy

746
00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:02,240
Speaker 1: g a true franchise quarterbackers game manager. Like that seems

747
00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:04,359
Speaker 1: like a rough fate for Garoppolo, who I think had

748
00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:07,600
Speaker 1: a really really nice season overall. It just didn't break

749
00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:09,279
Speaker 1: his way in the end. And I know I'm not

750
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:11,680
Speaker 1: the only one who thought this, but from the way

751
00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 1: the game started and the way they were calling plays

752
00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:17,560
Speaker 1: and how conservative they were at every point in the game,

753
00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:20,319
Speaker 1: I thought, even when they had the lead, the forty

754
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:22,080
Speaker 1: Niners are gonna have to pass to win this thing.

755
00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:24,840
Speaker 1: They're just gonnay were like that. You were annoyed that

756
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:27,319
Speaker 1: they were not aggressive. I mean you look at kind

757
00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:31,960
Speaker 1: of the target numbers for their good receivers. Nine targets

758
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:35,279
Speaker 1: for Debot, who had a good game um running and

759
00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:38,960
Speaker 1: passing for thirty nine yards. Yeah, Sanders five targets for

760
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:42,960
Speaker 1: thirty eight yards. Kittle seven targets for thirty seven yards.

761
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:47,160
Speaker 1: So there's nothing downfield it. They ultimately were just a

762
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:50,640
Speaker 1: little bit limited offensively that it was kind of a uh,

763
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:53,480
Speaker 1: station the station type offense. You got George Kiddle on

764
00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:55,040
Speaker 1: your team and you're not I mean, it felt like

765
00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:57,279
Speaker 1: Chris Jones touched the ball more than George Kittle did.

766
00:38:57,280 --> 00:38:59,440
Speaker 1: You gotta dial his number more often. Sometimes if you're

767
00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:02,040
Speaker 1: George Kidd, you've been the best player on the field

768
00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:03,439
Speaker 1: and games, you gotta go to the coach and said,

769
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:08,759
Speaker 1: get me the deep the damn ball. Um jumping away

770
00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:10,360
Speaker 1: from the game for a second again because I just

771
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:13,440
Speaker 1: want to hit on this that I thought very cool

772
00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:16,959
Speaker 1: the NFL one celebration on the field or some goose

773
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:20,320
Speaker 1: bump moments on the field. They brought out all the

774
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:23,680
Speaker 1: um living players that were selected the hundred greatest players

775
00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:27,759
Speaker 1: of all time. A couple of fun moments on their

776
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:31,520
Speaker 1: uh greg both Patriot moments because you know they have

777
00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:33,560
Speaker 1: such a large footprint on the game in recent years.

778
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:37,120
Speaker 1: But just seeing Gronk on the field, Guy's thirty years

779
00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:39,840
Speaker 1: old and he's he's in that company. It's like, oh,

780
00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:41,920
Speaker 1: he's getting this, he's getting this applause. And I'm sure

781
00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:45,320
Speaker 1: the Gronk boat cruise whatever he did this weekend, it was.

782
00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:49,160
Speaker 1: It was a nice business. Belichick and Linda holiday at

783
00:39:49,239 --> 00:39:53,000
Speaker 1: the Bronk boat cruise with like some wrestlers and Gronk

784
00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:56,800
Speaker 1: and scantily clad women are amazing. I just don't understand

785
00:39:56,800 --> 00:39:59,440
Speaker 1: how unless he really enjoyed the Gronk Spike cruise or

786
00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:02,040
Speaker 1: whatever it was, how you could come on the field

787
00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:04,480
Speaker 1: and if his body's cooperating, he doesn't want to come

788
00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:06,200
Speaker 1: back out of the field. But you know who knows.

789
00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:09,839
Speaker 1: And then Belichick he gets the he gets the hell

790
00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:12,440
Speaker 1: boot out of him because you know he's Belichick. And

791
00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:15,000
Speaker 1: then he flashes his rings and I think, both hands,

792
00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:16,880
Speaker 1: which is just a nice job. I have to I

793
00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:19,040
Speaker 1: have to show some respect and kiss the rings. And

794
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:21,760
Speaker 1: I was sitting next to Greg during that pretty amazing

795
00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:24,000
Speaker 1: Belichick moment. I couldn't stand up at that moment. He

796
00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:26,920
Speaker 1: has nine rings and Greg was wondering which three rings

797
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:29,959
Speaker 1: is he wearing? Like that's the level of fan dan

798
00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:34,719
Speaker 1: Is is very calculated. So he I bet there was

799
00:40:34,719 --> 00:40:37,200
Speaker 1: a purpose to the three that he wore, but I didn't.

800
00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:39,359
Speaker 1: I don't know what the answer was. That's a nice

801
00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:42,040
Speaker 1: job by Bill though, going to the the Gronk press

802
00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:45,200
Speaker 1: of the Gronk red carpet. Uh, it's been This is

803
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:46,759
Speaker 1: the first time in the four years they weren't in

804
00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:48,759
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. It seemed like Bill and Linda had

805
00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:50,879
Speaker 1: a nice little time this weekend in Miami. They did.

806
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:54,439
Speaker 1: And that's a job. I don't want to. I don't

807
00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:58,640
Speaker 1: want to make this anymore about the Patriots. Shouldn't be

808
00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:02,240
Speaker 1: about the that just done at all. Greg. The picture

809
00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:10,480
Speaker 1: of Moss didn't Terry Brady, Bellichick and Gronk. That's that's

810
00:41:10,520 --> 00:41:14,200
Speaker 1: that was pretty cool. That was pretty cool. Did West?

811
00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:18,280
Speaker 1: Did Randy Boss flash any rings when they cut to him? No?

812
00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:22,600
Speaker 1: And poor West, poor West Welker just lost. Poor West

813
00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:25,319
Speaker 1: shot come from I don't know. Poor West Welker just

814
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:30,000
Speaker 1: lost another heartbreaker too as the receiver's coach of the

815
00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:34,320
Speaker 1: forty Niners. Oh that's about that stuff for West. I

816
00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:36,600
Speaker 1: I really felt for him because there's so many Boston

817
00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:40,200
Speaker 1: sports reporters, you know, in general, covering the NFL, and

818
00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:44,600
Speaker 1: they all did their little West Welker story or interviewed him,

819
00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:47,399
Speaker 1: and he he did not want to be talking about

820
00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:50,680
Speaker 1: the Super Bowls. Poor guy. You know, he's out here

821
00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:53,120
Speaker 1: trying to make a career. Kyle Stannon believes in him

822
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:56,760
Speaker 1: as a coach. Um, we should give the Chiefs fans

823
00:41:56,760 --> 00:41:59,040
Speaker 1: some some love. I want to I want to have

824
00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:02,319
Speaker 1: a direct I want to share a direct quote right

825
00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:06,160
Speaker 1: after the game. Um, I me and my cousin watch

826
00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:10,160
Speaker 1: a little bit of the um podium riser and Andy

827
00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:13,759
Speaker 1: Reid has this great moment and uh and Hunt the

828
00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:16,359
Speaker 1: team owner, and it's a nice little thing. And then

829
00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:20,080
Speaker 1: we're going down the ramp down to the ground level

830
00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:22,640
Speaker 1: and a Chief a Chiefs fan and Ricky, you're gonna

831
00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:25,800
Speaker 1: have to bleep this. Uh, it's just you know, walking

832
00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:28,520
Speaker 1: down the ramp talking to no one in particular. Holy,

833
00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:33,160
Speaker 1: that just happened. Holy that just happened. Holy, we are

834
00:42:33,239 --> 00:42:37,000
Speaker 1: world champions. And I as a dreamer, mark as a

835
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:40,480
Speaker 1: as the one of the few optimistic Jets fans that

836
00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:43,200
Speaker 1: that exists in the world. Uh. It does give you

837
00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:45,960
Speaker 1: a little bit of hope the fact that and the

838
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:49,239
Speaker 1: Chiefs have been a way more successful franchise over the

839
00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:51,239
Speaker 1: last thirty years in the Jets of the Browns. But

840
00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:55,320
Speaker 1: it is it is good to just see these these teams.

841
00:42:55,360 --> 00:42:57,040
Speaker 1: The Eagles a couple of years ago got off the

842
00:42:57,040 --> 00:42:59,880
Speaker 1: schneid and now the Chiefs. I know things are in

843
00:42:59,880 --> 00:43:02,719
Speaker 1: a bad way, but it does remind you that these

844
00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:06,239
Speaker 1: teams your number tends to get called eventually, and you

845
00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:09,040
Speaker 1: just keep the faith, as these Chiefs fans did from

846
00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:11,200
Speaker 1: the flip side. I mean, I look at Niners fans

847
00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:14,480
Speaker 1: who are no, no, it's it's you're right, you're right.

848
00:43:14,560 --> 00:43:19,200
Speaker 1: But it says not a stunner in the from the

849
00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:21,520
Speaker 1: minute they had Patrick Mahomes on the field. It's not

850
00:43:21,560 --> 00:43:23,359
Speaker 1: that this, it's not stunning that they're here. I mean

851
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:25,640
Speaker 1: you could feel the build up and the Niners felt

852
00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:27,360
Speaker 1: that they were building up something to something too. And

853
00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:30,160
Speaker 1: Niners fans, you know, if you're forty five year old

854
00:43:30,200 --> 00:43:32,200
Speaker 1: Niners fan, you've had plenty of enjoyment in your life,

855
00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:35,719
Speaker 1: but the past couple years have had been rough. Pre

856
00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:38,120
Speaker 1: Kyl Shanahan, you had two coaches that came and went

857
00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:41,440
Speaker 1: in one season. People were questioning ownership, people were questioning

858
00:43:41,480 --> 00:43:44,000
Speaker 1: everything the organization was about. You get to this point,

859
00:43:44,320 --> 00:43:48,120
Speaker 1: it's with fifteen minutes to go and an hour later

860
00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:50,839
Speaker 1: you're questioning your reality and what's next and if you'll

861
00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:52,920
Speaker 1: ever get back. I just think, like, because we live

862
00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:54,840
Speaker 1: in an era to your point where the off season

863
00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:56,960
Speaker 1: is going to like the last game we saw is

864
00:43:56,960 --> 00:43:59,880
Speaker 1: going to generate hundreds of hours of questions and conversation.

865
00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:04,240
Speaker 1: Jimmy g is suddenly someone who went from potential darling

866
00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:09,000
Speaker 1: of the countryside to being now picked apart between now

867
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:11,520
Speaker 1: and next September or now until he wins a Super Bowl.

868
00:44:11,640 --> 00:44:15,080
Speaker 1: And let's shout out to the Niners organizationally, because who

869
00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:18,680
Speaker 1: got killed worse than you know, the York family and

870
00:44:18,719 --> 00:44:21,719
Speaker 1: that and that whole organization during the fiasco that was

871
00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:25,279
Speaker 1: the Jim tom seul A Chip Kelly run that they

872
00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:28,280
Speaker 1: did and when they were even worse the decade before

873
00:44:28,440 --> 00:44:30,480
Speaker 1: under the state, they were the worst team in the

874
00:44:30,600 --> 00:44:33,160
Speaker 1: NFL in the mid ots. So they have built a

875
00:44:33,160 --> 00:44:35,280
Speaker 1: really strong nucleus and they have the right head coach

876
00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:37,600
Speaker 1: and yes, I think we're all in agreement, they have

877
00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:40,920
Speaker 1: the right quarterback that can take them uh to the

878
00:44:40,920 --> 00:44:43,600
Speaker 1: promised Land. But like we said early in the week,

879
00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:46,239
Speaker 1: the future promises nothing. And I saw Jed York as

880
00:44:46,280 --> 00:44:49,960
Speaker 1: walking through the catacombs of the former the erstwhile Joe

881
00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:52,120
Speaker 1: Robbie Stadium. It's always how I I see it. They

882
00:44:52,239 --> 00:44:56,120
Speaker 1: completely gotten and renovate the place and change the capacity

883
00:44:56,160 --> 00:45:00,680
Speaker 1: from like eightum. I was here for the last one,

884
00:45:00,719 --> 00:45:05,120
Speaker 1: and you wouldn't. It doesn't even feel remotely like totally cool,

885
00:45:05,360 --> 00:45:10,040
Speaker 1: awesome stadium. It's but Jed York obviously super downtrodden. Nothing

886
00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:13,000
Speaker 1: will top the catacomb, am I using the right word,

887
00:45:13,040 --> 00:45:17,160
Speaker 1: that's I mean, that's like a layer and tunnels catacomb

888
00:45:17,680 --> 00:45:20,360
Speaker 1: walking in front of uh. Kyle Shannon was in that

889
00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:23,520
Speaker 1: locker room too. But Arthur Blank coming out of the

890
00:45:23,560 --> 00:45:26,160
Speaker 1: locker room and his what I assumed to be his

891
00:45:26,239 --> 00:45:29,560
Speaker 1: grandson falling into his arms sobbing. Nothing will beat the

892
00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:32,080
Speaker 1: sadness of that. But Jed York walking away again, just

893
00:45:32,120 --> 00:45:34,720
Speaker 1: the reminder of all the build up to this moment

894
00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:37,480
Speaker 1: and to come out of this game empty handed. It's

895
00:45:37,520 --> 00:45:40,000
Speaker 1: just such a tough pill. Organizationally, you have a knack

896
00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:42,560
Speaker 1: for running into losing owners because we also sell Arthur

897
00:45:42,600 --> 00:45:44,960
Speaker 1: Blank with I believe a grandchild or a child of

898
00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:48,240
Speaker 1: some sorts crying in his arms after the Falcons tumbled

899
00:45:48,239 --> 00:45:51,200
Speaker 1: against the Patriots. Isn't that what I just said? Oh well,

900
00:45:51,280 --> 00:45:53,560
Speaker 1: it's late. It's been a long week. See how it

901
00:45:53,560 --> 00:45:56,239
Speaker 1: feels when I repeat something you just told that's even

902
00:45:56,320 --> 00:46:00,239
Speaker 1: by like the standards of our past. It's pretty like

903
00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:01,719
Speaker 1: I was looking at you, I said that to you,

904
00:46:01,800 --> 00:46:04,400
Speaker 1: and then you said the same thing right back. At

905
00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:07,959
Speaker 1: this point that needed to be thank you. I needed

906
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:10,200
Speaker 1: to have mentioned it again from my perspective, Yeah, because

907
00:46:10,200 --> 00:46:14,120
Speaker 1: if you're if you're if you're a forty Niners fan, uh,

908
00:46:14,200 --> 00:46:17,719
Speaker 1: and they you know, they have great fans. There's every

909
00:46:17,719 --> 00:46:19,319
Speaker 1: reason to believe they're gonna be good. But they're also

910
00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:23,319
Speaker 1: in a division with Russell Wilson, with the last year's

911
00:46:23,400 --> 00:46:28,479
Speaker 1: NFC Championship champion, the Rams and Kyler Murray. To me, that's,

912
00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:30,640
Speaker 1: you know, going into next year, probably the best division

913
00:46:30,640 --> 00:46:32,439
Speaker 1: in football. And then you got to start all over

914
00:46:32,480 --> 00:46:34,120
Speaker 1: and try to get to buy and hope you get

915
00:46:34,200 --> 00:46:36,640
Speaker 1: you know, breaks like like they got this year. And

916
00:46:36,719 --> 00:46:38,560
Speaker 1: I think Chiefs fans know that well, like how many

917
00:46:38,600 --> 00:46:40,600
Speaker 1: breaks you need because they've been in the playoffs a lot.

918
00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:43,719
Speaker 1: They were certainly close a year ago. The Red you know,

919
00:46:43,719 --> 00:46:45,640
Speaker 1: Andy Reid's been in the playoffs every year since he's

920
00:46:45,640 --> 00:46:48,279
Speaker 1: been there, and this is the year kind of you know,

921
00:46:48,640 --> 00:46:52,920
Speaker 1: finally came together and you could just feel the enjoyment

922
00:46:52,960 --> 00:46:57,279
Speaker 1: from early on, like them like really loud. This one

923
00:46:57,320 --> 00:47:00,960
Speaker 1: did break through the plexiglass, you know, singing fight for

924
00:47:01,040 --> 00:47:04,520
Speaker 1: your Right to Party, like the entire stadium, I mean, uh,

925
00:47:04,560 --> 00:47:06,879
Speaker 1: you know, singing Home of the Chiefs at the end

926
00:47:06,920 --> 00:47:09,239
Speaker 1: of the the anthem I mean, there were moments here

927
00:47:09,239 --> 00:47:12,719
Speaker 1: where it felt much more like a home atmosphere than

928
00:47:12,760 --> 00:47:16,080
Speaker 1: most Super Bowls do. Like usually the entire stadium is

929
00:47:16,120 --> 00:47:19,200
Speaker 1: not rocking to like their own pet song, fight for

930
00:47:19,239 --> 00:47:21,080
Speaker 1: your right to party like I don't remember much of

931
00:47:21,080 --> 00:47:23,280
Speaker 1: that at Super Bowls. How many middle aged white sports

932
00:47:23,360 --> 00:47:31,280
Speaker 1: writers in that uh, in that booth, throat tapping their feet.

933
00:47:31,600 --> 00:47:36,120
Speaker 1: No one looked up from their computer, not once. Um,

934
00:47:36,239 --> 00:47:38,680
Speaker 1: let's do a little winners and losers before we get

935
00:47:38,680 --> 00:47:44,200
Speaker 1: out of here. How about winner Ryan Bartlett, ore body,

936
00:47:44,520 --> 00:47:49,160
Speaker 1: the producer at NFL Media. He's helped us out producing

937
00:47:49,280 --> 00:47:52,080
Speaker 1: our video shows over the years. He's he's produced damage,

938
00:47:52,200 --> 00:47:54,279
Speaker 1: he's done at all. Uh. He came down here with

939
00:47:54,360 --> 00:47:56,719
Speaker 1: a ticket, right, so he's just in the crowd as

940
00:47:56,719 --> 00:47:58,319
Speaker 1: a fan. Did any of you run into I never

941
00:47:58,320 --> 00:48:03,279
Speaker 1: actually Bartlett? Uh. Ryan Bartlet again, who we talked, had

942
00:48:03,280 --> 00:48:07,279
Speaker 1: a big weekend. It wasn't just he made sure he

943
00:48:07,400 --> 00:48:10,520
Speaker 1: enjoyed this weekend after If you're listening to the podcast

944
00:48:10,560 --> 00:48:13,600
Speaker 1: after the a C Championship win, Bartlett, who is as

945
00:48:13,600 --> 00:48:16,520
Speaker 1: die hard as they come. Uh, was supposed to be

946
00:48:16,560 --> 00:48:21,160
Speaker 1: back at studio Ricky something about ingest. Yeah, he would

947
00:48:21,160 --> 00:48:23,719
Speaker 1: have been he would have been back in Culver City,

948
00:48:23,840 --> 00:48:29,040
Speaker 1: uh taking ingest for this podcast. But there was some

949
00:48:29,600 --> 00:48:31,720
Speaker 1: help that he got. He got a ticket to the game,

950
00:48:31,800 --> 00:48:34,319
Speaker 1: and he had a friend here with him, and I

951
00:48:34,360 --> 00:48:37,760
Speaker 1: did bump into Bartlett about a half hour before kickoff.

952
00:48:37,760 --> 00:48:40,719
Speaker 1: He was feeling no pain and very excited, and uh,

953
00:48:40,880 --> 00:48:43,759
Speaker 1: we're all very happy for him because I know Ryan, Uh,

954
00:48:43,840 --> 00:48:46,480
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's been not the easiest year for him,

955
00:48:46,520 --> 00:48:48,320
Speaker 1: So this is such a nice moment for him. And

956
00:48:48,360 --> 00:48:50,400
Speaker 1: I'm really happy for him because he's one of the

957
00:48:50,400 --> 00:48:52,920
Speaker 1: good dudes at our company. So he's a big winner,

958
00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:57,959
Speaker 1: big winner. I've got Miami, not just as a super

959
00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:01,400
Speaker 1: Bowl city, which is already my favorite one, but just

960
00:49:01,480 --> 00:49:05,600
Speaker 1: as fantastic city period, one of the most impressive cities

961
00:49:06,719 --> 00:49:10,440
Speaker 1: by Miami, Mike. It looks to me like a future

962
00:49:11,080 --> 00:49:14,320
Speaker 1: the future port city, mega metropolis that maybe an ancient

963
00:49:14,480 --> 00:49:19,440
Speaker 1: Mariner saw in his wildest like Caribbean fever dreams. You

964
00:49:19,600 --> 00:49:23,760
Speaker 1: got sun sun dappled side skyscrapers, dancing with like clodic

965
00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:28,520
Speaker 1: kloidoscope skies, and it's just a beautiful place to be in. Um.

966
00:49:28,640 --> 00:49:33,160
Speaker 1: I loved it as a city people. It felt like

967
00:49:33,160 --> 00:49:36,440
Speaker 1: a different country to me. This is the first it's

968
00:49:36,440 --> 00:49:38,919
Speaker 1: got a culture all its own, which is awesome. Yeah,

969
00:49:38,960 --> 00:49:41,240
Speaker 1: it's the first I've been at where I thought, Okay,

970
00:49:41,280 --> 00:49:44,080
Speaker 1: the people are exotic, the languages are exotic, the food

971
00:49:44,120 --> 00:49:47,160
Speaker 1: is exotic. It feels like I'm in some Caribbean major

972
00:49:47,200 --> 00:49:49,319
Speaker 1: city and not in the United States. And I loved

973
00:49:49,360 --> 00:49:52,000
Speaker 1: every minute of I think it's similar to that my

974
00:49:52,080 --> 00:49:54,439
Speaker 1: other favorite Super Bowl city in that way in New Orleans,

975
00:49:54,480 --> 00:49:56,640
Speaker 1: where it does feel like you could be nowhere else

976
00:49:56,680 --> 00:49:58,840
Speaker 1: but New Orleans when you're there, and it's similar to

977
00:49:58,880 --> 00:50:04,239
Speaker 1: hear it also makes you feel um, very inferior, or

978
00:50:04,719 --> 00:50:08,280
Speaker 1: you know, just alert to your lack of body strength,

979
00:50:08,640 --> 00:50:12,600
Speaker 1: makes you just don't say yeah, no one is walking,

980
00:50:12,880 --> 00:50:18,040
Speaker 1: no one's leaving Miami and feeling great about these we have,

981
00:50:18,200 --> 00:50:20,920
Speaker 1: I'm insecure everyone since we are about that we've made

982
00:50:21,000 --> 00:50:24,400
Speaker 1: I'm not really even insecure. Who cares? This cover everyone's

983
00:50:24,680 --> 00:50:27,680
Speaker 1: everyone's body in this city is a bang in tent.

984
00:50:27,719 --> 00:50:30,560
Speaker 1: We all joked about it that it was it's an

985
00:50:30,560 --> 00:50:34,399
Speaker 1: absurd city of beautiful people and I hate it. Mark

986
00:50:35,920 --> 00:50:39,480
Speaker 1: Winner Winner, Well, I have a loser because I mean

987
00:50:39,600 --> 00:50:41,600
Speaker 1: within the within the game, We've been through a lot

988
00:50:41,640 --> 00:50:44,520
Speaker 1: of these characters from tonight, but the loser is the

989
00:50:44,560 --> 00:50:47,480
Speaker 1: American Football Conference and specifically the a f C West

990
00:50:47,480 --> 00:50:50,160
Speaker 1: and everyone that at this point, this reminds me of

991
00:50:50,239 --> 00:50:53,399
Speaker 1: when Aaron Rodgers and the Packers won a decade ago

992
00:50:53,520 --> 00:50:56,000
Speaker 1: to kick off the two thousand Tents, because we came

993
00:50:56,040 --> 00:50:58,560
Speaker 1: off of that game thinking the sky's the limit. Aaron

994
00:50:58,640 --> 00:51:00,880
Speaker 1: Rodgers probably is a disap pointment if he doesn't go

995
00:51:00,960 --> 00:51:03,080
Speaker 1: and win three or four more of these with what's

996
00:51:03,120 --> 00:51:06,520
Speaker 1: around him at this time. This was a lesser game

997
00:51:06,520 --> 00:51:10,200
Speaker 1: by Patrick Mahomes and it's imagine what happens if they

998
00:51:10,239 --> 00:51:12,560
Speaker 1: get him clicked in in an offense just like this

999
00:51:12,640 --> 00:51:15,680
Speaker 1: a year from now, where you don't get the crazy

1000
00:51:15,760 --> 00:51:19,560
Speaker 1: uncharacteristic turnovers and you just get him playing at high throttle,

1001
00:51:19,880 --> 00:51:23,240
Speaker 1: full fever dream status. The Chiefs are unstoppable. Thing about

1002
00:51:23,280 --> 00:51:25,399
Speaker 1: you know, less are ripped apart by free agency. Back

1003
00:51:25,440 --> 00:51:28,640
Speaker 1: to week five or six or whenever when happened and

1004
00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:35,200
Speaker 1: Patrick mahomes knee is physically ripped out of place, and again, sports, dude,

1005
00:51:35,239 --> 00:51:39,280
Speaker 1: they're weird. If if that goes maybe six inches further

1006
00:51:39,680 --> 00:51:41,680
Speaker 1: or it just bends a certain way in the other direction,

1007
00:51:41,800 --> 00:51:44,800
Speaker 1: he's on an operating table seasons over and the title

1008
00:51:44,880 --> 00:51:47,200
Speaker 1: drought is fifty one or fifty two years. I mean

1009
00:51:47,520 --> 00:51:49,640
Speaker 1: they caught a huge break by that injury not being

1010
00:51:49,640 --> 00:51:52,560
Speaker 1: season ending, because at that moment it felt like it

1011
00:51:52,600 --> 00:51:55,200
Speaker 1: was all over. Uh. And yes, if you're in the

1012
00:51:55,239 --> 00:51:59,240
Speaker 1: a f C West, you're nervous that this kid who's

1013
00:51:59,280 --> 00:52:01,600
Speaker 1: twenty four years old now has a league m v P,

1014
00:52:02,120 --> 00:52:05,400
Speaker 1: a super Bowl title, two division titles, and a super

1015
00:52:05,400 --> 00:52:08,080
Speaker 1: Bowl MVP under his belt and he's just getting warmed up.

1016
00:52:08,280 --> 00:52:12,719
Speaker 1: You're worried that this is the new Tom Brady. You're right.

1017
00:52:12,760 --> 00:52:14,840
Speaker 1: You're only hope is that he's apathetic or board a

1018
00:52:14,920 --> 00:52:17,560
Speaker 1: year from sides, I've done everything he now, I mean

1019
00:52:17,640 --> 00:52:22,000
Speaker 1: with with the title. He mean, he's got to start that. Only,

1020
00:52:22,200 --> 00:52:25,520
Speaker 1: like we said, Marino and Warner, you know, have had

1021
00:52:25,680 --> 00:52:28,240
Speaker 1: a really warner in terms of winning, winning the super

1022
00:52:28,280 --> 00:52:30,560
Speaker 1: Bowl and getting an m v P. It's it's a

1023
00:52:30,560 --> 00:52:34,200
Speaker 1: little scary. How about a winner, Brett Veach Remember, buddy,

1024
00:52:34,320 --> 00:52:36,560
Speaker 1: absolutely all right, You tell me why I want to

1025
00:52:36,760 --> 00:52:39,080
Speaker 1: because for all the stories that came out of the

1026
00:52:39,160 --> 00:52:41,600
Speaker 1: Chiefs trading up from I just want to hear Greg

1027
00:52:41,640 --> 00:52:45,080
Speaker 1: talk like a huge trade up from like twenty six

1028
00:52:45,200 --> 00:52:48,600
Speaker 1: to ten, and the inspiration behind it is Brett Veach

1029
00:52:48,800 --> 00:52:51,719
Speaker 1: falls in love from a scouting perspective as much as

1030
00:52:51,719 --> 00:52:53,920
Speaker 1: a scout can fall in love with a quarterback and

1031
00:52:54,000 --> 00:52:59,120
Speaker 1: basically gets the entire organization to watch Patrick mahomes with

1032
00:52:59,160 --> 00:53:01,600
Speaker 1: Brett Beach his eye and that's why he's in Kansas.

1033
00:53:01,640 --> 00:53:05,719
Speaker 1: John Lando, a famous UH rock critic and producer, has

1034
00:53:05,760 --> 00:53:09,040
Speaker 1: an all time like rock history famous line, I've I've

1035
00:53:09,239 --> 00:53:11,680
Speaker 1: looked into the future. I've seen the future and a

1036
00:53:11,800 --> 00:53:15,320
Speaker 1: rock and roll and it's Bruce Springsteen, the nine Beach

1037
00:53:15,480 --> 00:53:17,640
Speaker 1: and I learned this west from your peace, which was great,

1038
00:53:17,719 --> 00:53:21,200
Speaker 1: and don't stop writing, keep writing one. Thank you awesome

1039
00:53:21,200 --> 00:53:26,319
Speaker 1: at it. Sorry, um but um he saw it, he

1040
00:53:26,360 --> 00:53:28,640
Speaker 1: saw it for anybody else. Before he even took a

1041
00:53:28,640 --> 00:53:30,720
Speaker 1: meaningful snap, he was saying, this guy is the best

1042
00:53:30,840 --> 00:53:33,200
Speaker 1: quarterback in the league. So that's a big shout out

1043
00:53:33,239 --> 00:53:37,239
Speaker 1: of each had a bold you know, moved to bring

1044
00:53:37,239 --> 00:53:40,600
Speaker 1: in Frank Clark and get rid of d Ford, which

1045
00:53:40,640 --> 00:53:42,919
Speaker 1: certainly I think tonight was a night where d Ford

1046
00:53:42,960 --> 00:53:46,640
Speaker 1: got dominated pretty well by by Mentell. Swords came within

1047
00:53:46,680 --> 00:53:48,959
Speaker 1: a whisker of a couple of turnovers himself. D Ford.

1048
00:53:49,040 --> 00:53:51,880
Speaker 1: He almost he almost pounced on one and forced another.

1049
00:53:52,160 --> 00:53:55,920
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give a winner just for guys making some money. Uh.

1050
00:53:56,040 --> 00:54:01,000
Speaker 1: Chris Jones and Kendall Fuller are both free agents this offseason,

1051
00:54:01,719 --> 00:54:03,799
Speaker 1: and they both well, I have him, we have him

1052
00:54:03,800 --> 00:54:07,200
Speaker 1: in the in the rankings. Chris Jones is you know,

1053
00:54:07,360 --> 00:54:10,279
Speaker 1: doing a defensive version of Joe Flacco where you have

1054
00:54:10,320 --> 00:54:13,200
Speaker 1: a monster playoff run right before you hit free agency.

1055
00:54:13,239 --> 00:54:15,440
Speaker 1: Was gonna make a lot of money. Anyways, Kendall Fuller

1056
00:54:15,800 --> 00:54:19,000
Speaker 1: made the interception Kendall Fuller made was maybe the best

1057
00:54:19,080 --> 00:54:21,600
Speaker 1: play anyone made all night. The game was kind of

1058
00:54:21,680 --> 00:54:24,160
Speaker 1: over at that point, but that was an incredible play.

1059
00:54:24,200 --> 00:54:27,479
Speaker 1: And he made another huge pass breakup where he read

1060
00:54:27,560 --> 00:54:29,879
Speaker 1: the play before anyone else in the fourth quarter. He's

1061
00:54:29,880 --> 00:54:31,919
Speaker 1: been a really good player for a while. And those

1062
00:54:31,960 --> 00:54:34,000
Speaker 1: two guys I think will probably get paid off of

1063
00:54:34,040 --> 00:54:36,839
Speaker 1: this because the Brett Beach Who's who's done some good work.

1064
00:54:36,880 --> 00:54:39,400
Speaker 1: They have a lot of work to do. They have

1065
00:54:39,480 --> 00:54:42,960
Speaker 1: a ton of defensive players hit for free agency and

1066
00:54:43,000 --> 00:54:45,440
Speaker 1: not a lot of cap room. A winner and a loser,

1067
00:54:45,600 --> 00:54:51,080
Speaker 1: Greg Rosenthal because you know I because Greg uh picked

1068
00:54:51,120 --> 00:54:54,560
Speaker 1: the forty niners to win on our podcast and pick

1069
00:54:54,640 --> 00:54:56,840
Speaker 1: the Chiefs to win on our website. Well that the

1070
00:54:56,920 --> 00:55:00,400
Speaker 1: website win was folcused. I picked the forty night Actually

1071
00:55:00,400 --> 00:55:02,440
Speaker 1: a great job now I sent that in. Yeah, that

1072
00:55:03,360 --> 00:55:05,960
Speaker 1: I sent that in last week and forgot about it unfortunately,

1073
00:55:06,000 --> 00:55:08,360
Speaker 1: so that my pick was the forty Niners, of which

1074
00:55:08,640 --> 00:55:13,800
Speaker 1: I was wrong. A winner. Another winner, I would say

1075
00:55:14,400 --> 00:55:16,880
Speaker 1: our old friend Kevin Harland, friend of the podcast, the

1076
00:55:16,960 --> 00:55:21,600
Speaker 1: Green announcer, who this kind of we didn't mention this,

1077
00:55:21,680 --> 00:55:23,640
Speaker 1: but he won some type of award for greatest announcer

1078
00:55:23,680 --> 00:55:25,160
Speaker 1: in the world or something a couple of weeks ago,

1079
00:55:25,640 --> 00:55:28,840
Speaker 1: and I happened to hear his call of the Damien

1080
00:55:28,880 --> 00:55:33,440
Speaker 1: Williams clinching touchdown run. Let's listen in Ricky person him

1081
00:55:33,440 --> 00:55:35,839
Speaker 1: a homes shaking down, ships hand off to Williams, got

1082
00:55:35,840 --> 00:55:37,799
Speaker 1: to block him a pullback. He's up at five thirty

1083
00:55:37,840 --> 00:55:40,600
Speaker 1: breaks talking on the sideline. Twenty chursy Obama start on

1084
00:55:40,640 --> 00:55:49,040
Speaker 1: the ten touchdown. That's it of forty a yard touchdown

1085
00:55:49,239 --> 00:55:54,680
Speaker 1: run by Damian Williams. One twelve per down, three touchdowns

1086
00:55:54,719 --> 00:55:57,640
Speaker 1: in the last five minutes of this game in the

1087
00:55:57,800 --> 00:56:01,040
Speaker 1: chief lead by ten thirty town. It was a bigger

1088
00:56:01,040 --> 00:56:02,839
Speaker 1: pro than Kevin Harland. No, I'm at the point where

1089
00:56:02,840 --> 00:56:05,719
Speaker 1: I'd like to hear a two or three minute highlight reel,

1090
00:56:05,719 --> 00:56:06,960
Speaker 1: and I'm not sure you could even get to that

1091
00:56:07,080 --> 00:56:09,640
Speaker 1: length of plays where he flubs the call because it

1092
00:56:09,719 --> 00:56:13,399
Speaker 1: doesn't seem to ever happen. I got a winner, guy

1093
00:56:13,480 --> 00:56:18,040
Speaker 1: who nearly threw his football career away, Honey Badger at

1094
00:56:18,160 --> 00:56:23,560
Speaker 1: l s U in college. Um, he's the story. You

1095
00:56:23,680 --> 00:56:26,560
Speaker 1: can you can author your own life story. He he

1096
00:56:26,640 --> 00:56:28,160
Speaker 1: could have gone the other way, and he said, no,

1097
00:56:28,280 --> 00:56:30,839
Speaker 1: I want to be committed to football. Bruce Arians drafts

1098
00:56:30,880 --> 00:56:33,759
Speaker 1: him the third round. He plays at an all pro level.

1099
00:56:34,480 --> 00:56:36,319
Speaker 1: As soon as he reaches the all pro level, tears,

1100
00:56:36,360 --> 00:56:38,719
Speaker 1: his a c L comes back, takes him a year

1101
00:56:38,760 --> 00:56:41,280
Speaker 1: or two, finally returns to the all pro level, tears

1102
00:56:41,360 --> 00:56:44,279
Speaker 1: his a c L again, goes to Houston and then

1103
00:56:44,719 --> 00:56:47,160
Speaker 1: finds a Chiefs team where he says, I'm gonna go

1104
00:56:47,280 --> 00:56:49,600
Speaker 1: there because the priority is winning the Super Bowl. Came

1105
00:56:49,640 --> 00:56:51,839
Speaker 1: there to win the Super Bowl. The minute he walked

1106
00:56:51,880 --> 00:56:55,360
Speaker 1: in the door, Spack said, the entire culture changed. Tyron

1107
00:56:55,400 --> 00:56:57,960
Speaker 1: Matthew was the agent of that change. I saw spects

1108
00:56:58,040 --> 00:57:01,280
Speaker 1: by the way on the field. Old about twenty minutes

1109
00:57:01,320 --> 00:57:05,040
Speaker 1: after it ended, the Fox set up, the Fox TV

1110
00:57:05,160 --> 00:57:09,399
Speaker 1: set up Michael Strayhand on the dais and Spaggs goes

1111
00:57:09,560 --> 00:57:12,480
Speaker 1: up to stray Hand, gets his attention and they share

1112
00:57:12,520 --> 00:57:15,160
Speaker 1: a big hug. Because stray Hand, of course, was the

1113
00:57:15,880 --> 00:57:18,920
Speaker 1: pass rusher on that first title. So Spaggs is not

1114
00:57:19,000 --> 00:57:20,720
Speaker 1: a guy that's probably gonna get another look as a

1115
00:57:20,760 --> 00:57:24,520
Speaker 1: head coach, but this was a big win for him.

1116
00:57:24,680 --> 00:57:30,600
Speaker 1: Another big win. Mixers threw a mixer that was lit.

1117
00:57:31,400 --> 00:57:36,000
Speaker 1: Uh in room fourteen seventeen. Streets are talking and Ricky

1118
00:57:36,280 --> 00:57:38,720
Speaker 1: move your takeaway. We got all the cousins, we got

1119
00:57:38,840 --> 00:57:42,000
Speaker 1: the family members, we got the brothers, we got the sisters,

1120
00:57:42,040 --> 00:57:44,600
Speaker 1: we got the wives, we've got the friends, and I

1121
00:57:44,680 --> 00:57:47,560
Speaker 1: feel like the mixer it was pretty lit. Yeah. I mean,

1122
00:57:47,600 --> 00:57:49,840
Speaker 1: I know you're a little nervous that people weren't showing.

1123
00:57:49,840 --> 00:57:51,520
Speaker 1: It was a little late. I couldn't stop staring at

1124
00:57:51,560 --> 00:57:57,000
Speaker 1: the door. My cousins, my cousins Minke and Matt were like, Danny,

1125
00:57:57,120 --> 00:57:59,080
Speaker 1: sure they're coming, Like they'll be here. They'll be here,

1126
00:57:59,120 --> 00:58:01,640
Speaker 1: they said they'd be yeah, And sure enough, we've got

1127
00:58:01,680 --> 00:58:06,840
Speaker 1: a nice crowd. Even handsome Hank International showed up. It's

1128
00:58:06,880 --> 00:58:09,720
Speaker 1: like a good tradition. It is. I feel like mixers.

1129
00:58:09,800 --> 00:58:11,840
Speaker 1: Next year we'll do it. Mark, you went all out, Dan,

1130
00:58:11,920 --> 00:58:19,760
Speaker 1: you had ice filled in the same Danny job. Yeah,

1131
00:58:19,800 --> 00:58:22,680
Speaker 1: part of it is hope, hopefully. You know. Another winner

1132
00:58:22,720 --> 00:58:25,520
Speaker 1: would be whoever booked us our hotel rooms, because you

1133
00:58:25,600 --> 00:58:29,520
Speaker 1: know we those are some nice rooms. I mean that

1134
00:58:29,720 --> 00:58:31,800
Speaker 1: room was fitting for a party. I've got I got

1135
00:58:31,880 --> 00:58:35,720
Speaker 1: some winners. How about Nick Shook and Kevin Patra They

1136
00:58:35,800 --> 00:58:38,000
Speaker 1: write for a little site called A Round the NFL.

1137
00:58:38,080 --> 00:58:41,280
Speaker 1: Do you remember this thing? We used to write for it.

1138
00:58:41,320 --> 00:58:44,720
Speaker 1: And they've been pounded out great work all week. Um,

1139
00:58:45,200 --> 00:58:47,320
Speaker 1: they really have been working art and putting out good

1140
00:58:47,400 --> 00:58:49,600
Speaker 1: stuff like shocks, working start. I haven't actually even seen

1141
00:58:49,680 --> 00:58:53,560
Speaker 1: Shook Kevin. I think like working less would make you

1142
00:58:53,800 --> 00:58:56,080
Speaker 1: a true winner. It sounds like they're just taking the

1143
00:58:56,160 --> 00:59:00,760
Speaker 1: room like grunts and workhorses of this, but they're putting quality.

1144
00:59:01,000 --> 00:59:04,120
Speaker 1: Where Kevin was at the mixer and uh, you know

1145
00:59:04,200 --> 00:59:07,320
Speaker 1: who's better than Kevin? I think you know He'll always

1146
00:59:07,400 --> 00:59:10,320
Speaker 1: be in my heart. Uh for one of the great

1147
00:59:10,400 --> 00:59:13,080
Speaker 1: moments in around the NFL history, which was on a

1148
00:59:13,360 --> 00:59:18,640
Speaker 1: Super Bowl recap show in a sad moment, but it

1149
00:59:18,760 --> 00:59:20,720
Speaker 1: was kind of a resolved moment. They answered all the

1150
00:59:20,800 --> 00:59:23,840
Speaker 1: questions without being Nobody asked me how big my piece was.

1151
00:59:25,920 --> 00:59:28,920
Speaker 1: That was a magical moment from Kevin Patrick back at

1152
00:59:28,960 --> 00:59:32,760
Speaker 1: our super Bowl in Houston, Texas. It has lived on

1153
00:59:33,960 --> 00:59:36,480
Speaker 1: in our memories, and the memories have even changed from

1154
00:59:36,560 --> 00:59:39,640
Speaker 1: the reality. I just our producer Mark Brady just took

1155
00:59:39,680 --> 00:59:43,240
Speaker 1: a header off the third level of Hard Rock Stadium

1156
00:59:43,320 --> 00:59:46,240
Speaker 1: so he can't hear what was played. Just looking at

1157
00:59:46,320 --> 00:59:48,640
Speaker 1: you guys like Greg, don't I know you're not gonna

1158
00:59:48,640 --> 00:59:50,600
Speaker 1: toot your own horn. But you're a winner. You get

1159
00:59:50,640 --> 00:59:53,160
Speaker 1: to walk into a press box and see people like

1160
00:59:53,280 --> 00:59:56,400
Speaker 1: Tyler Dragon, who you hired now a beat writer, and

1161
00:59:56,480 --> 00:59:58,959
Speaker 1: Gilbert Manzano another guy you hired as a beat writer,

1162
00:59:59,640 --> 01:00:02,800
Speaker 1: and Nick Shook. You hired all these people. Good for you,

1163
01:00:03,080 --> 01:00:08,120
Speaker 1: Good job for extemporaneous. All right, let's before we get

1164
01:00:08,160 --> 01:00:10,040
Speaker 1: out of here, let's go through the sandwich props. Because

1165
01:00:10,840 --> 01:00:13,200
Speaker 1: Daddy needed to win. Daddy got his win Super Bowl

1166
01:00:14,720 --> 01:00:18,040
Speaker 1: U m v P is Patrick Mahomes. I got three

1167
01:00:18,120 --> 01:00:21,360
Speaker 1: sandwiches there, which salvaged my season. Because in addition to

1168
01:00:21,400 --> 01:00:25,160
Speaker 1: getting the three there, I got three ws off you guys.

1169
01:00:26,360 --> 01:00:28,880
Speaker 1: So that's a six and oh to save my season,

1170
01:00:29,280 --> 01:00:32,480
Speaker 1: uh Greg spot super Bowl fifty four Deebo Samuel will

1171
01:00:32,560 --> 01:00:38,200
Speaker 1: have more receiving yards than uh Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelsey. Mark,

1172
01:00:38,240 --> 01:00:40,560
Speaker 1: you have the stats in front of you. Was that correct?

1173
01:00:40,960 --> 01:00:42,959
Speaker 1: I don't believe it was close. It was not close.

1174
01:00:43,040 --> 01:00:44,720
Speaker 1: But he had a good name. If I had said

1175
01:00:44,800 --> 01:00:47,400
Speaker 1: rushing yards for a while, it was fun. But yeah,

1176
01:00:47,520 --> 01:00:51,840
Speaker 1: the Tyree killed me in the ends. Um total yards.

1177
01:00:51,920 --> 01:00:55,040
Speaker 1: Love that guy. Mark, you had a fifteen minute stoppage

1178
01:00:55,040 --> 01:00:58,800
Speaker 1: of play, non injury related. It just it didn't come.

1179
01:00:58,880 --> 01:01:01,480
Speaker 1: It didn't land, not occur. And then to come home

1180
01:01:01,560 --> 01:01:03,800
Speaker 1: this one in West you had George Kittle and Travis

1181
01:01:03,880 --> 01:01:07,000
Speaker 1: Kelsey both top one and sixteen receiving yards, which I

1182
01:01:07,040 --> 01:01:09,600
Speaker 1: believe is the Super Bowl tight end record. This was

1183
01:01:09,680 --> 01:01:12,200
Speaker 1: not a big game for either player, although Kelsey had

1184
01:01:12,400 --> 01:01:14,240
Speaker 1: a huge touchdown in the fourth course. I think Kyle

1185
01:01:14,320 --> 01:01:16,880
Speaker 1: Jannahan lost George Kittle and his couch cushions or some tonight.

1186
01:01:17,000 --> 01:01:19,160
Speaker 1: What happened to that guy in the last three weeks.

1187
01:01:19,400 --> 01:01:21,840
Speaker 1: But to correctly, pr go get my lunch. Let's just

1188
01:01:22,000 --> 01:01:25,320
Speaker 1: look at the overall standings for this entire campaign. We've

1189
01:01:25,360 --> 01:01:28,520
Speaker 1: been through coming into fourth place, Dan with twelve and

1190
01:01:28,600 --> 01:01:33,320
Speaker 1: fifteen spot. Yes, no, you you you did a lot

1191
01:01:33,440 --> 01:01:36,080
Speaker 1: to get into fourth place at of four Greg thirteen

1192
01:01:36,120 --> 01:01:39,440
Speaker 1: and thirteen in the third spot, West very nice, sixteen

1193
01:01:39,560 --> 01:01:42,760
Speaker 1: and fifteen in spot number two. Oh and then someone

1194
01:01:43,240 --> 01:01:46,360
Speaker 1: named Mark who was that sixteen and fourteen a top

1195
01:01:46,480 --> 01:01:52,360
Speaker 1: the heap? Somehow that was not the lead? Well, somehow

1196
01:01:52,440 --> 01:01:55,120
Speaker 1: you're somehow you're not leading. I mean, if we're gonna

1197
01:01:55,200 --> 01:01:57,960
Speaker 1: go like somehow I am leading to talk the whole season,

1198
01:01:58,000 --> 01:02:00,600
Speaker 1: we could do overall standings, which you are buried in

1199
01:02:01,200 --> 01:02:05,920
Speaker 1: last place. I still have a nice nicely it's ridiculous

1200
01:02:06,640 --> 01:02:09,440
Speaker 1: to play the game until season four that my overall

1201
01:02:09,480 --> 01:02:12,040
Speaker 1: record is one sixty six and one forty nine. That's

1202
01:02:12,040 --> 01:02:15,600
Speaker 1: how many times we've Can you possibly own horn for

1203
01:02:15,720 --> 01:02:20,840
Speaker 1: three minutes in this higher show is about we just

1204
01:02:20,880 --> 01:02:23,520

01:02:23,560 --> 01:02:27,000

1206
01:02:27,040 --> 01:02:30,320
Speaker 1: you've ever heard me talk about another pizza operation, they're terrible.

1207
01:02:30,600 --> 01:02:33,200
Speaker 1: The only one that matters is Little Caesar's. And I'm

1208
01:02:33,200 --> 01:02:37,680
Speaker 1: gonna ask you, as a real corporate man, who delivered

1209

Speaker 1: Little Caesar style Super Bowl Andy Reid he sure did.

1210
01:02:45,520 --> 01:02:48,120
Speaker 1: He got the w from wire to wire. This is

01:02:48,200 --> 01:02:52,400
Speaker 1: a this is He's gonna be eating multiple Little Caesar's

1213
01:02:55,760 --> 01:02:58,440
Speaker 1: have some cheeseburgers, but with extra cheese. How about a

1214
01:02:58,440 --> 01:03:01,080
Speaker 1: little Little Caesars with some extras? May get easy and

01:03:05,240 --> 01:03:10,360
Speaker 1: guess what, guys, we did it. It's another season, another season,

1217
01:03:10,880 --> 01:03:14,560
Speaker 1: our seven together, I believe started this podcast in July

1218
01:03:14,720 --> 01:03:18,720
Speaker 1: of two thousand thirteen, and here we are now in

1219
01:03:19,040 --> 01:03:22,680
Speaker 1: February of two thousand twenty. Almost ended after that that

1220
01:03:22,840 --> 01:03:27,840
Speaker 1: Patrick comment, Um yep, oh that one, yes, but then

1221
