Speaker 1: appreciate it.

15
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 3: I'm good. How you doing?

16
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:45,600
Speaker 1: I am doing good. Are you in South Florida yet? Mike?

17
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:48,320
Speaker 3: I've been back and forth. I'm all my way back

18
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 3: to New York because the weather for this weekend and

19
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 3: Florida where I've been, it's just dreadful. It's going to

20
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 3: be thirty degrees, so there's no reason to be here

21
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 3: for a couple of days. So I'm going on all

22
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 3: our way back to New York where zero But you

23
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 3: might as well be zero there, considering it's going to

24
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 3: be thirty in Palm Beach this weekend.

25
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:07,959
Speaker 1: You're right, you're coming here for sixties and seventies, not

26
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 1: thirties and forties, not thirty. Let's start in the obvious

27
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:16,760
Speaker 1: place today with you, Mike Bill Belichick not elected to

28
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:18,959
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame? How why.

29
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:28,039
Speaker 3: Silly? And again you cannot chastise him when his career

30
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 3: is over. Okay, the things they think they are chastising

31
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:38,400
Speaker 3: him for those that did it should have been dealt

32
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,320
Speaker 3: with in real terms. Okay. He should have been suspended

33
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 3: when these things happened. He wasn't, Okay, Craft made sure

34
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 3: it didn't happen. He made sure the commissioner didn't suspend him. So,

35
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 3: but to take it out on him now makes the

36
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 3: institution and the voters look ridiculous because his body of

37
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 3: work is such that there's nothing to discuss. Okay, he

38
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 3: is as automatic as automatic can be. But having said

39
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 3: that and having everybody go be so outraged, okay, and

40
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 3: they're gonna boycott the who cares about that nonsense? He's

41
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 3: gonna be over in two days. He's gonna get in

42
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 3: next year, and no one's gonna remember because I made

43
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,640
Speaker 3: the point earlier today to someone, Hey, do you know

44
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 3: how many great baseball players didn't get it on the

45
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 3: first ballance? You know, Joe Demarchio didn't get in the

46
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 3: Hall of Fame on the first ballot, Jogi Bera, Okay,

47
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 3: Rogers Hornsby, I can go down the lotch so Young,

48
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 3: the man won five hundred games. You didn't get in

49
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 3: the Hall of Fame on the first ballot. People forget Okay,

50
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 3: No one when they're in the Hall of Fame remembers

51
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 3: what ballot they got in on. So it's a little

52
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,640
Speaker 3: bit of a punishment. I'm sure Belichick got angry about it.

53
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 3: He probably will have some, you know, nasty words for

54
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 3: Bill Pollon, who seems to have led this. Okay, at

55
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,080
Speaker 3: least that's the rumor. I don't know that for sure,

56
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 3: But the bottom line is it's much to do about

57
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 3: nothing in the long term, because before you know it,

58
00:02:58,880 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 3: he'll be in the Hall of Fame.

59
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 4: Mike Taylor from Rockland County first time a long time.

60
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,519
Speaker 4: What do you think about people who are pointing out

61
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:09,679
Speaker 4: Bill Belichick's record without Tom Brady as the reason why

62
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 4: he didn't get in. It was eighty three and one

63
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:11,920
Speaker 4: oh four.

64
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,639
Speaker 3: You don't get to take his record apart. Okay, Sorry,

65
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 3: you don't get to do it. Okay, Yeah, record is

66
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 3: his record. Now talk to me about the two Super

67
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 3: Bowls he won as a coordinator and the sixty one

68
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 3: as a head coach, and then what are we discussing. Okay,

69
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 3: the man has won eight Super Bowls? How are you

70
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,079
Speaker 3: gonna keep him out? And you're gonna tell me, oh,

71
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 3: he didn't do well when he was in Cleveland where

72
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 3: they were tearing the franchise out from under him, Okay

73
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 3: and moving it in the middle of the night. All right.

74
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 3: The bottom line was, hey, he had some bad years.

75
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 3: They all do. They complain about Pawsels without Belichick. Okay, hey,

76
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 3: Bello Chick was an assistant coach, he wasn't a head coach.

77
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 3: Then that's part Elvis team. Don't try to make it

78
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 3: the record you wanted to be. You gotta take the

79
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 3: guys into totality and tell me, in totality how he

80
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 3: doesn't belong in the Hall of Fame.

81
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 1: I tell you what to apologize for the pope.

82
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 3: Who won six Super Bowls. He went to nine as

83
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,839
Speaker 3: a head coach. He won he created one of the

84
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 3: great game plans of all time, along with the Running Game,

85
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:24,279
Speaker 3: which should be mentioned because the running game was a

86
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 3: big part of that that kept the ball away from

87
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 3: the Bills. But the Big Nickel became very big because

88
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 3: of what they did to the Bills that year against

89
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 3: the team that scored fifty one points against the Raiders.

90
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 3: The bottom line is, we know Belichick can coach. He's

91
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 3: not perfect, he's not a genius. He needs a quarterback

92
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 3: to win. Listen, here's a big headline. No coach wins

93
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:50,479
Speaker 3: without players. When they don't have good players, none of

94
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 3: them wins. That's the bottom line. They all need players.

95
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,719
Speaker 3: I don't care if it's Vince Lombardi, Newt Rockney, or

96
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,840
Speaker 3: Bear Bryant. They all need players. And when they don't

97
00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 3: have players, they're going to struggle. When they went. When

98
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:05,480
Speaker 3: they have players, do they win? And the answer is yes.

99
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:07,599
Speaker 3: The man won six Super Bowls.

100
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:14,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, eight, as you know, if you want to.

101
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:16,279
Speaker 3: What the Giants said, absolutely he was. I mean think

102
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 3: about that. He's been on the winning side eight times.

103
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,159
Speaker 1: That's crazy, It's absolutely crazy. What do you make of

104
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 1: Bill Poullian saying he's not certain if he voted for

105
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:25,280
Speaker 1: Belichick or not.

106
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 3: Bill looks foolish. I mean the whole Listen. Bill should

107
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 3: have said I hate his guts. I think he cheated.

108
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:33,159
Speaker 3: He would have been better off than what he said.

109
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:36,920
Speaker 5: You aren't so right.

110
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:39,839
Speaker 1: You have never been more right than you weren't just

111
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 1: right there. That was incredible, Mike, Yeah, you have a

112
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 1: question here, go ahead for the great Mike francessa.

113
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 6: I do mikey a Connecticut first time Bill, what do

114
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 6: you what do you say to the people who say

115
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 6: that the Baseball Hall of Fame, which is one of

116
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 6: the most controversial hall of fames with their ability to

117
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 6: draw lines, this move kind of makes the NFL Hall

118
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 6: of Fame sound like the Baseball Hall of Fame, where

119
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:07,040
Speaker 6: they're not doing it based on the field, They're doing

120
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 6: it based on personal preference.

121
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 3: Listen, voters, voters often look petty, looks silly in this process.

122
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 3: These guys, the voters and the institution, are the ones

123
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 3: who are going to take the hit here. Belichick's not

124
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 3: going to take the hit. Everyone's coming to Belichick's defense.

125
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:30,919
Speaker 3: All the great players, every Jimmy Johnson, all the big players,

126
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:33,159
Speaker 3: they're all coming to his defense because they know his

127
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:37,039
Speaker 3: record is, without question, a Hall of Fame record. It's

128
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 3: not even worth discussing. Okay. The bottom line is, hey,

129
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 3: if you're going to be subjective about it, get out

130
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,039
Speaker 3: of the way. I mean, it's not supposed to be

131
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 3: something that's subjective. It's supposed to be. Is it a

132
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 3: fair analysis or not. The guy's a Hall of famer.

133
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 3: I don't care if you hate him. I don't care

134
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:54,600
Speaker 3: if you think he's jacked the ripper. He's a Hall

135
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 3: of famer. Did he do things he shouldn't have done? Yes, okay.

136
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 3: Did he get every edge he could get? Absolutely? He's

137
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:04,159
Speaker 3: not the only guy who ever cheated I guarantee you,

138
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 3: I guarantee you a lot. But he's not the only

139
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:07,160
Speaker 3: guy who have cheated it.

140
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 1: Mike, Yeah, you want to apologize. I mean, Jesus, yeah.

141
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 5: I do. I have to apologe.

142
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 1: You know what it is. I got nervous.

143
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 6: I was talking to the Pope, I was talking to

144
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 6: my friends Bill Belichick on the mine.

145
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 3: But I was nervous. Bottom line is, you know, the

146
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 3: bottom line is it's just silly. This was a move

147
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 3: that they should have realized was going to blow up

148
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 3: in their face. There was no question this was going

149
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 3: to blow up in their face in a big way

150
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 3: because his record is so far out there to the good,

151
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 3: there's no way to keep him out of the Hall

152
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 3: of Fame.

153
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 1: Yep, you are one hundred percent correctly, Mike. I understand

154
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 1: what you're saying about. Listen, he'll be in in one year.

155
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 1: But to a guy like Belichick, I know, but you ever,

156
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 1: so you know Belichick a little bit, and you obviously

157
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 1: know Parcels very well.

158
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 3: Sick and I have never gotten along really, to be

159
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 3: honest with you, you know, we just never did. We

160
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 3: didn't spend a lot of time together, you know, but

161
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 3: I was you know, we have been around each other,

162
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 3: especially in the Giant day. It's not so much of

163
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 3: the New England days. But listen, the guy had a

164
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 3: great career. Whether you like him, don't like him, you

165
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 3: don't like what he does, it doesn't matter. He's been

166
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 3: you know, he's not one of NH's noblemen. Okay, let's

167
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 3: be honest, all right, the way it is, but he's

168
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 3: been incredibly successful. And to me, this is one where

169
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 3: I'm surprised that even somebody should have stood up in

170
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:35,080
Speaker 3: the room and said, hey, we're gonna look like idiots.

171
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:37,560
Speaker 1: Yes, yep, yep, so mu should have done that. But

172
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 1: I'm wondering, Mike, because, like, don't you think the first

173
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 1: ballot stuff means something to a guy like Belichick?

174
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:50,960
Speaker 3: Yes, for about three days. So here's what I've learned.

175
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:57,560
Speaker 3: Guys who don't react to anything. Honors, Coach of the Years,

176
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:00,960
Speaker 3: et cetera. They all have. They've been out of the

177
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:04,840
Speaker 3: sport and they've waited, and all the awards are gone away,

178
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 3: all the accolades are gone away. Now comes the Hall

179
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 3: of Fame. It's the last one. It's the final one,

180
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 3: and it's permanent. You're there for history. Okay, you get

181
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 3: to go in the room, and you're there for history.

182
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 3: It means a tremendous amount, more than anyone can understand.

183
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:24,559
Speaker 3: I've seen guys so mad when they didn't get in. Players, coaches.

184
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 3: I've seen guys so hurt when they didn't get in.

185
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 3: It's unbelievable. I understand it. Everybody wants to get into

186
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:34,080
Speaker 3: the Hall of Fame in their profession because it's permanent,

187
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 3: it's there for history, and it means a lot. And

188
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 3: it's one percent of the people who played or coached.

189
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:45,080
Speaker 3: It's a tremendous achievement in any walk of life. The

190
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 3: bottom line is, yeah, it matters to them, and it

191
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 3: matters a lot, and it matters more after they retire,

192
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 3: because there's no other awards and no other accolades coming

193
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:55,840
Speaker 3: down a pipe. This is the last one and that's

194
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 3: why it's permanent and it matters. There's no question it hurts,

195
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 3: But it hurt for a couple of days because you

196
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 3: know what he is going to pass in a hurry.

197
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 3: He can lose some more games in Carolina and then

198
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:08,080
Speaker 3: you can get into the Hall of Lam. I mean,

199
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 3: that's the bottom line.

200
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 1: Miked up as the podcast, check it out wherever you

201
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:15,679
Speaker 1: get your podcast. Since we have you here, Mike for

202
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,200
Speaker 1: a second, what'd you make of the Giant? What'd you

203
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 1: make of the Giants hiring John Harbor? They got it

204
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 1: rite right and it.

205
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:28,839
Speaker 3: Was the only possible hire. There was no one else

206
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 3: when I was looking, when he was still in Baltimore,

207
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 3: there was no And I even said, I hope something

208
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:39,440
Speaker 3: happens with John Harbin. There's been rumors he's the perfect guy.

209
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:44,320
Speaker 3: There was no one else. Mccafey didn't fit, nobody else

210
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:50,680
Speaker 3: who had experienced fit. This was one hundred percent, the

211
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 3: perfect hire one hundred There is no way he will

212
00:10:55,679 --> 00:11:02,440
Speaker 3: not be successful with the Giants. There is no possible way, Mike.

213
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 6: With the Giants appearing to having gotten it right and

214
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:09,680
Speaker 6: the Jets appearing to do it all wrong in every

215
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 6: single way, I'm.

216
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:12,200
Speaker 5: Just curious for you.

217
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:15,200
Speaker 6: What are you looking forward more to covering next season?

218
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 6: Is it the dumpster fire which has grown into like

219
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 6: a tire fire at this or is it the Giants

220
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 6: showing signs of light.

221
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 3: I'm so tired now. Obviously, the Giants have been angry

222
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,839
Speaker 3: with me many times in the past, but I have

223
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 3: a relationship with John Marraw. I always have. I've had time.

224
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 3: I'm very close to a lot of people with the

225
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 3: Giants and have been a lot of people who work there.

226
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 3: So the Giants have and I have been very close

227
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:46,560
Speaker 3: to a lot of the years. Even though the ghettle

228
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 3: of music are very angry at me. Recently they've been

229
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 3: angry at me, but I have great respect for John

230
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:54,079
Speaker 3: and an affinity for John Marraw, especially Chris mara and

231
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:57,560
Speaker 3: lived very well. Even the touches I know well. The

232
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:00,720
Speaker 3: bottom line is all class people in a big way.

233
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 3: The Jets are such a joke. Now listen, what he's

234
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 3: no dummy. He bought the team to six hundred and

235
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 3: thirty million. It's now worth seven or eight billion. Okay,

236
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 3: he's made a good bye. And he first of all

237
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 3: didn't matter. He's a Johnson and Johnson are. He never

238
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 3: needed a dollar in his wife. We know that. You

239
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:21,559
Speaker 3: know he's born a billionaire. We understand that. Okay, he's

240
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 3: made a good buy from an investment standpoint, but he

241
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:31,080
Speaker 3: has no idea what it means to own a football team,

242
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 3: and he has no idea how to work with people

243
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 3: at all. And he listens to the worst people in history. Okay,

244
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:44,320
Speaker 3: and they have had a couple of points when they've

245
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 3: had it close. Listen. I blame some people for stuff

246
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:52,200
Speaker 3: that they did there when they should have stayed. Okay,

247
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 3: Manginie should have been there for fifteen years. The guy

248
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 3: would have been He's a terrific coach. It was his fault.

249
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,719
Speaker 3: He was a jerk. You can't treat the owner like

250
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:04,320
Speaker 3: he's not the owner, and he did, and he got

251
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 3: out of there, even though he had two winning years

252
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,840
Speaker 3: in three years. They dumped them because they didn't like them,

253
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 3: and he was wrong. He was completely wrong. They had

254
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:14,560
Speaker 3: some good times and he's the one who built the

255
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 3: right team, but then Woody screwed it up by bringing

256
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 3: in Brett Father we didn't want. Okay. The bottom line

257
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:23,440
Speaker 3: is Woody has no idea what he's doing and what

258
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 3: but they're doing now with Aaron glenns I have never

259
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 3: seen before someone said, you Jackson did this in Cleveland

260
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 3: and went from one to fifteen to own sixteen. The

261
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:36,200
Speaker 3: Jets are gonna get worse, Okay. I mean they're gonna

262
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 3: get worse first, and that's hard to believe. And he

263
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 3: has got rid of the entire staff after the first year.

264
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 3: It is insanity. What is going on there? Waved the

265
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 3: white leg and they tried. They tried to hire John

266
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:53,959
Speaker 3: Duden as an assistant. An assistant. He knows more football

267
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 3: than them, you know, walking in the door. It's like

268
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 3: Einstein and the Horse and the horse that house with

269
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:05,319
Speaker 3: its book. Okay. The bottom line is it's ridiculous. Okay.

270
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:08,559
Speaker 3: But the whole thing now, if they hired Frank Right

271
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:10,439
Speaker 3: to be the offensive coordinator, I think that's a step

272
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:13,320
Speaker 3: in the right direction if that happens. Okay, but they

273
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 3: are such a mess right now. They have a good

274
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 3: special teams coach. That's basically it. Otherwise the coaches are

275
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 3: a disaster.

276
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, Mike, it's such a mess that Gruden, who desperately

277
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 1: wants back of the NFL, said no thanks to the

278
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 1: New York Jets.

279
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 3: Right, probably could have taken the place over in a week.

280
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 1: Right, he'd be the head coach, right, I think.

281
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 3: It within two weeks he would have been the head coach, right, Mike.

282
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 4: First off, congratulations News Days, number one sports icon in

283
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 4: sports radio.

284
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 3: Very nice, Thank you, Thank you.

285
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 4: Was it ever a doubt I'd be coming on open

286
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 4: number one every metric that I have. But I'm making

287
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 4: my first appearance on Radio Row this year. I consider

288
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:59,360
Speaker 4: you the godfather of Radio Row along with Mad Dog.

289
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 4: Any tips for a first time are going out to

290
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 4: radio You.

291
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 3: Know they've ruined Radio Row. You know we in the beginning,

292
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 3: we had so much fun there. But what happened was,

293
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 3: like everything else, money ruins everything. Now, Radio Row is about,

294
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 3: you know, about what product they can sell you. They

295
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 3: charge tickets to Radio Row. You don't get anybody of

296
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 3: consequence there. You get people who were just getting paid

297
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 3: to sell products and they give you the same bed.

298
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 3: And if you still guys knows this one after another

299
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 3: after another. Guy's done not in use. He doesn't even

300
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 3: know who he's talking to anymore. He's done so many interviews, okay,

301
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 3: and he's picking a product, right, and he comes in

302
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 3: with a piece of paper about a product you knows

303
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 3: nothing about, and he tries to tell you about the product, right,

304
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 3: And that's basically it. Hey, don't forget to mention my product.

305
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 3: I don't want to mention your products. Okay. So the

306
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 3: whole thing is terrible now. It's so plus they take

307
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 3: care of only their rights holders, and they have so

308
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 3: many rights holders now and so many big companies involved

309
00:15:57,080 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 3: that the days that we were a part of that

310
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 3: was so natural. It was us. And then stations grew

311
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 3: around us to where there was fifty or forty five

312
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 3: or fifty big stations and that was a vibrant time.

313
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 3: But then the NFL ruined it like they ruin everything else.

314
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 3: Because they are the greediest humans who have ever walked

315
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 3: the earth. You have to understand that, Okay. They all

316
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 3: they care about is the next buck, the next buck,

317
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 3: and that's what's wrong with the end. There's a couple

318
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 3: of things wrong with the NFL. Right now. Number One,

319
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 3: the union has way too much to say about what

320
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 3: coaches can do and can't do in terms of running

321
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 3: their team and developing their players, which is a disaster.

322
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 3: Number Two, the only thing the owners care about is

323
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 3: growing their product and growing their revenues. That's the biggest problem.

324
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 3: The NFL is so greedy and after every dollar, and

325
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 3: that's what they're taught. That's what they know. Protect the

326
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 3: shield and grow the revenue, and it has ruined what

327
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 3: is an incredible sport.

328
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, Michae, are you into the Super Bowl? Are you into?

329
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 1: Are you into you know the game coming up this

330
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 1: week or next week?

331
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, Listen, the media. NFL season ends with the

332
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 3: championship games. The Super Bowl stands out by itself. I

333
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 3: cannot stand the week before. I try to watch nothing, okay,

334
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:17,880
Speaker 3: because I just cannot stand it. It is so tedious. Okay,

335
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:22,400
Speaker 3: the listen. I've been parts of those pregames. I understand

336
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 3: the money part of it, but the four hour pregame,

337
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 3: it's so hard for it to be good because it's

338
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 3: four hours. Okay. We just watched the bus leave this building.

339
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 3: We just watched it leave the hotel. Who can Okay,

340
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, stuff you would never think about

341
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 3: in a regular season, you're thinking about with the Super Bowl.

342
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 3: But the game, I give it about a sixty percent

343
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:49,159
Speaker 3: chance to be good. I'm very worried about the New

344
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:52,440
Speaker 3: England offensive line. He's been sacked fifteen times in the playoffs.

345
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:54,880
Speaker 3: I think the offensive line is falling apart. I think

346
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 3: he could really take a beating from the Seattle defense.

347
00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:00,959
Speaker 1: Thanks again to Mike Francessa the Pope, the greatest personality

Speaker 1: head coach. If you remember about a week ago, I

358
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:37,680
Speaker 1: said when I was driving in Huh, what is Eric

359

360
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 1: are headed out to the Super Bowl. I'm excited to

361
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:49,920
Speaker 1: experience the super Bowl on Radio Row with this crew.

362
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 1: I am shocked to hear that Israel Goody Eras has

363
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:56,399
Speaker 1: never been to radio You've been to a super Bowl?

364
00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 1: You've never been to radio Row.

365
00:18:58,720 --> 00:18:59,160
Speaker 2: Wow.

366
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:02,359
Speaker 7: And there's been so many in my lifetime, even as

367
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:05,960
Speaker 7: a professional, so many super Bowls in Miami, and I

368
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:08,399
Speaker 7: just avoid them. I avoid Radio Row. I avoid the

369
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 7: super Bowls. I had to go to one as a columnist.

370
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:11,880
Speaker 7: I rode off of the.

371
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:15,399
Speaker 8: Who was it?

372
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:19,720
Speaker 7: The Saints quarterback Drew Brees? Remember which super Bow was

373
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 7: actually out of the Drew Brees super Bowl? And I

374
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 7: think with the who did the halftime actors?

375
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:24,240
Speaker 8: That one?

376
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 7: I can remember it because it was terrible and I

377
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:28,400
Speaker 7: didn't care to see it. But I've never been and

378
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:31,199
Speaker 7: I'm excited about it. I'm a little nervous about the

379
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:32,920
Speaker 7: super Bowl in general. I feel like it's going to

380
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 7: be awful, and if it's my first radio row, they'll

381
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 7: probably some people blaming me for it. Probably just me right,

382
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:41,240
Speaker 7: But I have a feeling that these quarterbacks aren't going

383
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:43,200
Speaker 7: to play very well and that I already see one

384
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:45,120
Speaker 7: of them, Drake Mays on the injury report, and I'm

385
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:45,919
Speaker 7: just like, oh, come.

386
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 1: On, yes, we'll get to that in a second. Mikey,

387
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 1: I have never seen you nod your head so quickly

388
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 1: in agreement. That is, he's going to be the guy

389
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 1: that ruins Radio Row with super Bowl a week For anyone,

390
00:19:56,280 --> 00:20:03,959
Speaker 1: I'll blame him, you should say, hope. I don't think

391
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:07,560
Speaker 1: anyone's more excited than Taylor. I really do, Taylor, are

392
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 1: you excited for this? My guess is like this is

393
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:14,200
Speaker 1: Taylor's dream. Taylor wants to be in this industry. He

394
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 1: works hard. He's a great kid. He's thirty one years

395
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:20,080
Speaker 1: old and I keep calling him a kid. But he's

396
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:22,440
Speaker 1: a great kid, and he wants this, and he wants

397
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:24,640
Speaker 1: it in the worst way. And really what he wants

398
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:27,119
Speaker 1: to do is just meet people, right. He wants to

399
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 1: meet people, exchange business cards, you know, because this is

400
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:33,479
Speaker 1: a time of year where the media gets together and

401
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 1: they all trot out their resumes and tell everyone what

402
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:38,919
Speaker 1: it is they're doing, and they want to compare if

403
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:41,400
Speaker 1: their job is better than everyone else's. But Taylor, I

404
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:44,880
Speaker 1: imagine no one is more no one is more excited

405
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 1: in our crew for Radio Row than you. Is that fair?

406
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:49,359
Speaker 5: That is fair?

407
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 3: One?

408
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:53,400
Speaker 4: I'm not looking at it as we're going to Radio Row.

409
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 4: I'm looking at it as I'm getting a front row

410
00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:58,679
Speaker 4: seat to a live show of Mad Dog Chris or.

411
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:01,640
Speaker 9: Mad Dog you don't even want to watch?

412
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:02,360
Speaker 5: Do Gods?

413
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:04,160
Speaker 1: He's on at the same time as us.

414
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:06,200
Speaker 4: We're gonna have to figure that one out.

415
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:10,919
Speaker 7: So can I tell you what my lasting imagery, at

416
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:12,040
Speaker 7: least mentally.

417
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:13,639
Speaker 9: Of Radio Row is.

418
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 7: It is so down in Miami. Back in the day,

419
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:21,919
Speaker 7: there used to be I think three thriving sports radio

420
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 7: stations in the AM and on one of them there

421
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 7: was a gentleman by the name of Kevin Rogers Krog

422
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:32,879
Speaker 7: as the kids call him, and there was this sound.

423
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,159
Speaker 7: I forget did you guys play this first? Or was

424
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:37,200
Speaker 7: this the radio station that he worked for?

425
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:41,640
Speaker 9: Just running him live? And then somebody clipped it.

426
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 7: It is the saddest sound I've ever heard professionally from

427
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:50,119
Speaker 7: a colleague, and it made me think that I don't

428
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:51,879
Speaker 7: have the coolest job in the world.

429
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 9: That made me think I have one of the worst.

430
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 8: Jobs of the world.

431
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:58,480
Speaker 1: Kevin Rodgers is a person that I met in Jacksonville

432
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:00,360
Speaker 1: at the Super Bowl. We had just start ar did

433
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:03,480
Speaker 1: locally seven ninety the ticket down here in Miami. I

434
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:06,679
Speaker 1: started that station. I was the GM I co hosted

435
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:07,880
Speaker 1: the afternoon show with Dan.

436
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:10,920
Speaker 7: It was a terrible plan. So was a Jacksonville super Bowl.

437
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:13,120
Speaker 7: By the way, Yeah, that was a terrible plan.

438
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:15,879
Speaker 1: But Kevin Rodgers, and this is what radio Row in

439
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:19,200
Speaker 1: super Bowl Week is all about, he flagged me down

440
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:22,880
Speaker 1: and he was relentless, okay, because he wanted to move

441
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:25,720
Speaker 1: from where he was in Kansas City down to South

442
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:28,200
Speaker 1: Florida and South Beach in Miami. He was a young

443
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:32,200
Speaker 1: man at the time, a very polished broadcaster, a great broadcaster,

444
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:36,080
Speaker 1: and I ended up hiring Kevin Rodgers to do updates

445
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 1: in the afternoons for my show with Dan. Yes, we

446
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:44,760
Speaker 1: then went out I had to add an extra adjective there.

447
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:49,119
Speaker 1: We then went out to a super Bowl. I'm trying

448
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:50,800
Speaker 1: to think where it was. I don't think it was

449
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:53,760
Speaker 1: down here in Miami, is he? But we do have

450
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:55,639
Speaker 1: next super Bowl because I can figure out which one

451
00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 1: it probably was. But we do have the sound that

452
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:02,919
Speaker 1: you're talking about. Because this is what radio Row and

453
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 1: super Bowl Week is all about. Let's first go to

454
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 1: the sound. Guys, where was it? Taylor? Just come to them.

455
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 1: I can say it, Bud, Yes, all right.

456
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 4: The way to set this up his show was on

457
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:18,160
Speaker 4: in the evenings. Yeah, so by the time he's going

458
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:21,120
Speaker 4: on from Radio Row. Yes, it's an empty radio row.

459
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:23,920
Speaker 1: Yes, so it's an empty radio row because Radio Row

460
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 1: is really a six eight to seven p deal. And

461
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 1: when the afternoon shows are over, When the afternoon shows

462
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:34,679
Speaker 1: are over, okay, everyone goes and parties their ass off. Okay,

463
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:36,640
Speaker 1: that's what. And then they come back the next day

464
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 1: and they're hungover, and you're Sander, okay, I'm looking forward

465
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 1: to And so here is Kevin Rodgers, the rare guy

466
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 1: to host an evening show on Radio Row. After everyone

467
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:50,080
Speaker 1: is cleared out, here is k Roger trying to get

468
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:51,440
Speaker 1: the attention of Lincoln Kennedy.

469
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:57,879
Speaker 10: Lincoln Kennedy, what's up man? Yeah, I'm working. Where do

470
00:23:57,920 --> 00:23:58,080
Speaker 10: you go?

471
00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:00,119
Speaker 11: You want to get betch up part tonight? You go

472
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 11: on FHM night. All right, I'll see you later.

473
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 7: It's so, yes, this is one of the two. The

474
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:11,960
Speaker 7: next one is the one that's most memorable to me.

475
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:16,960
Speaker 7: But it just the Lincoln Kennedy is there. Yes, he's

476
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:20,840
Speaker 7: clearly Ky Rodger the only person there doing a show. Yes,

477
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,840
Speaker 7: and Lincoln Kennedy still denies him because he says, you

478
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:25,359
Speaker 7: shouldn't be here this way.

479
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 1: Yes, listen closely, audience, because you can hear faintly Lincoln

480
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:32,600
Speaker 1: Kennedy telling Kevin Rogers everyone has left the building.

481
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:37,560
Speaker 10: Go again, Lincoln Kennedy, what's up? Man? Yeah, I'm working.

482
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:38,399
Speaker 10: Where do you go?

483
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,760
Speaker 11: You want the fe party night? You're on FHM night.

484
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 11: All right, I'll see you later.

485
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:46,000
Speaker 8: I'm working here.

486
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 3: Yes.

487
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:50,480
Speaker 1: So if that's not sad enough, here is Kevin Rogers

488
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:54,679
Speaker 1: still at Radio Row, not at the Fahm party. This

489
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:57,080
Speaker 1: is the next day. He hasn't left Radio Row. He

490
00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:59,520
Speaker 1: never went to the Fahm party. He just stayed at

491
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 1: his boot on Radio Row. And here is him with

492
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:03,399
Speaker 1: a bloody tongue.

493
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:10,120
Speaker 12: What else we got? Oh my god, Ray Lewis is here?

494
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 12: Can we get Ray Lewis in the show before my

495
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:16,639
Speaker 12: tongue falls off? Ray freaking Lewis in the house?

496
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:17,720
Speaker 5: Wow?

497
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:23,160
Speaker 12: Hey, Ray, got a couple of minutes. Ray, Let's see whatever.

498
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:25,480
Speaker 12: Ray Lewis walks in and my tongue is bleeding.

499
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 7: Wow, that right there, Stu guys, which was almost twenty

500
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 7: years ago, I want to say, maybe it was twenty

501
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 7: years ago. Is my entire visual interpretation, mental interpretation of

502
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 7: what Radio Row is like. And I'm thankful we do

503
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:45,200
Speaker 7: with three to five Eastern, which is what going to

504
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 7: be noon.

505
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:48,040
Speaker 8: To two over there, if you say so.

506
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:52,480
Speaker 7: Was on my toes and I'm not going to experience

507
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 7: the k Rots thing. But man, I'm just gonna have

508
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:59,879
Speaker 7: like this sickening empty feeling if I ever see somebody

509
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 7: arc that, or if I see you or anybody else

510
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 7: yell a name and then is not.

511
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 1: Heard, I'll do it all week.

512
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 8: I will.

513
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 1: Yes. Kevin Rodgers quit after that that show.

514
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 5: His tongue was so bad.

515
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:14,919
Speaker 4: He said that was like the first ten minutes of Yes,

516
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:17,280
Speaker 4: that show opening, and then I believe he said. He

517
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 4: called Allison after. I was like, I can't keep hosting

518
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:20,720
Speaker 4: the shows he's teaching now.

519
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:24,359
Speaker 9: Did he explain how his tongue got cut up? Was

520
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:25,399
Speaker 9: he just talking to me?

521
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:27,440
Speaker 1: Bit his tongue, that's all. He just bit his tongue.

522
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 1: It was bleeding everywhere he was. He was alone. He

523
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:32,679
Speaker 1: was sad because he decided it was a good idea

524
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:35,919
Speaker 1: to host an evening show on Radio Row when everyone

525
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 1: else was at the FHM party.

526
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:41,359
Speaker 8: I remember, AHM, it's.

527
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 1: Like a spinoff of maxim Right, that.

528
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:45,240
Speaker 8: Nothing I was interested in.

529
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 7: But yes, I want to just recruit k Roge to

530
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:55,360
Speaker 7: be my afternoon interview recruiter. Like he seems very aggressive

531
00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:57,480
Speaker 7: and shameless in what he's doing, so I'm like, let's

532
00:26:57,480 --> 00:26:58,000
Speaker 7: get him on.

533
00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:00,119
Speaker 8: But when people are actually around.

534
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:05,159
Speaker 1: But unfortunately he's teaching now. It made him leave the

535
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 1: industry radio rope. It did one more time, A said

536
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 1: Kevin Rodgers at night, trying to get Ray Lewis on

537
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:14,399
Speaker 1: because he has no guest booker because his guest booker

538
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:17,159
Speaker 1: and producer all of them are at the FHM party.

539
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:23,040
Speaker 12: What else we got? Oh my god, Ray Lewis is here.

540
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:24,679
Speaker 12: Can we get Ray Lewis in the show? Before my

541
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:29,520
Speaker 12: tongue falls off? Ray freaking Lewis in the house?

542
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 3: Wow?

543
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 10: Hey, Ray, got a couple of minutes.

544
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 12: Ray, Let's see whatever Ray Lewis walks in and my

545
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:38,360
Speaker 12: tongue is bleeding.

546
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:39,200
Speaker 8: Wow.

547
00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:43,639
Speaker 13: I'm just imagining being in South Florida at the time,

548
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:46,879
Speaker 13: tuning into whichever radio station he was working for at

549
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:47,400
Speaker 13: the time.

550
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 9: And being like, this is not entertaining.

551
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 13: Why am I listening to this man whose tongue is

552
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:53,240
Speaker 13: clearly injured?

553
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:55,399
Speaker 9: Just yelling at people I don't know if they're there

554
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:55,600
Speaker 9: or not.

555
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:56,640
Speaker 8: He could be making it up.

556
00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:59,400
Speaker 1: It's the most entertaining thing I've ever heard. I mean,

557
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 1: it really is, Yes, because I know Radio Row, and

558
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 1: I know super Bowl Week, and I know stuff like

559
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:07,840
Speaker 1: that happens on Radio Row during super Bowl Week where

560
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 1: all of a sudden you're sitting down, you know, with

561
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:13,640
Speaker 1: with Michael Irvin, and I think Hockey's this example earlier,

562
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:17,080
Speaker 1: Taylor and Mendoza walks by and you have to politely

563
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:19,639
Speaker 1: tell Michael Irvin to get up because there's a bigger

564
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:23,159
Speaker 1: guest waiting at your table, and you're like, hey, playmaker,

565
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:25,919
Speaker 1: get out of here. And I'll just yell hey Mendoza

566
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 1: when I see him. Yes, That's what I'll do.

567
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:31,960
Speaker 4: Yes, Taylor is he Krog could have gotten ray Lewis on,

568
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:35,159
Speaker 4: and nothing would have been as good as that clipped that.

569
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:39,400
Speaker 1: If we got instead, ray Lewis would say nothing interesting.

570
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 1: If indeed Krodge got him on.

571
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 7: I'm not a fan of cringe humor, and so I

572
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 7: would have I would have somehow taken my radio out

573
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:50,479
Speaker 7: of my car and thrown it out the window if

574
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:52,080
Speaker 7: I was listening to that live because it.

575
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 8: Was so cringe worthy.

576
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 1: So anyway, I'm excited to take you.

577
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:58,120
Speaker 8: Guess it's gonna be amazing.

578
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:02,600
Speaker 1: Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox. We're gonna take

579
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 1: a lot of calls today because I'm tired. Eight seven

580
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:08,640
Speaker 1: seven ninety nine on Fox. We have we have some

581
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:12,440
Speaker 1: episodes out already of Steve Gotson Company and of God

582
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 1: Bless Football. Steve Gotson Company with Salakata God Bless Football.

583
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:18,720
Speaker 1: Mike Ollock Junior joins us there, and hopefully we'll see

584
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:21,600
Speaker 1: our friend next week in San Francisco, although he's telling

585
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 1: us that he's going to stay in LA because he

586
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:26,080
Speaker 1: knows how sad it is, so see what happens.

587
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:27,600
Speaker 8: Yes, I wouldn't mind staying in La.

588
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:29,040
Speaker 1: Are you into this game?

589
00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:29,280
Speaker 3: Man?

590
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 5: Like?

591
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:32,720
Speaker 1: It's not having a hard time getting fired up for

592
00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:35,120
Speaker 1: this game? I shouldn't be, But I feel like the

593
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:38,040
Speaker 1: country as a whole is having a hard time kind

594
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 1: of getting fired up for this game.

595
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 7: I feel like there will be people that the country

596
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:45,480
Speaker 7: can sort of grab onto, grasp onto.

597
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:46,960
Speaker 8: I think JSN is one of them.

598
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:49,720
Speaker 7: I think if they didn't really recognize from the conference

599
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 7: championship game, just how much of a fixture he's going

600
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:55,040
Speaker 7: to be in the NFL for a long time. I

601
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:58,720
Speaker 7: think the Super Bowls probably going to be another time

602
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:02,600
Speaker 7: for him to shine. I have a feeling the quarterbacks

603
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:05,000
Speaker 7: aren't going to play great. Whether it be Drake may

604
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:09,360
Speaker 7: facing a quality defense for first time in a minute,

605
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 7: I mean, the Texans were great but didn't really have

606
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 7: to do much against him, right, Or if it's Sam

607
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:19,480
Speaker 7: Donald after essentially a cakewalk against a bad Rams defense,

608
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 7: if he's all of a sudden shaken up by this

609
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:22,280
Speaker 7: Pats defense.

610
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 9: But none of that makes me think, oh, this is

611
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 9: going to be.

612
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:28,000
Speaker 7: Crazy entertaining football, And none of it, none of it

613
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 7: makes me think the storyline is that compelling. Sam Donald's

614
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:35,000
Speaker 7: a nice story, but we've heard crazier stories of quarterbacks

615
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 7: winning Super Bowls. He's already sort of accomplished his comeback, right,

616
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:43,560
Speaker 7: He's a legitimate top half, you know, top ten quarterback

617
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 7: in the league, which nobody thought would happen. He's gotten

618
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:48,920
Speaker 7: to a super Bowl if he wins a bonus to

619
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 7: be honest.

620
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:51,600
Speaker 1: Yes, but Sam Donald was the guy who couldn't play

621
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:53,480
Speaker 1: well in big games until he played well in a

622
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:55,880
Speaker 1: big game. If he plays terribly in this game, we're

623
00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 1: gonna climb right back on him and say he can't

624
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:00,440
Speaker 1: do it in a big spot because that's what the

625
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:01,320
Speaker 1: sports media does.

626
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:03,440
Speaker 9: We're lazy, yes, but is that fun?

627
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:06,000
Speaker 7: It's like, Oh, I can't wait till Darnold loses so

628
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:08,440
Speaker 7: we can go back to saying what we were saying before.

629
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 9: Like, I don't really know what else there.

630
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:14,320
Speaker 7: I mean, if you are a Drake may stan, if

631
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:16,800
Speaker 7: you believe he is the MVP, if you think he

632
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:19,040
Speaker 7: is going to be the best quarterback in the league

633
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:21,480
Speaker 7: for the next decade, then you're sitting back and like,

634
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:23,960
Speaker 7: watch this, watch my guy start his run.

635
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:26,520
Speaker 9: But I don't know how many people actually believe that.

636
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:27,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, go ahead tell it.

637
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 3: Yeah.

638
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:30,840
Speaker 4: So I'm kind of worried about Drake May now because

639
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:33,320
Speaker 4: after that Broncos game, there was a clip that was

640
00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:36,160
Speaker 4: going around where he's talking with his wife postgame. She

641
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:38,320
Speaker 4: taps on his shoulder and he kind of winces, and

642
00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:41,040
Speaker 4: everybody's like, is Drake May hurt? And they kind of

643
00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:43,880
Speaker 4: dismissed it, and then Drake may shows up on the

644
00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:46,520
Speaker 4: injury report. The first injury report, he was listed as

645
00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:50,000
Speaker 4: limited for a right shoulder injury, and the Patriots kind

646
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:53,800
Speaker 4: of downplayed it, and then Friday comes along. Today comes along,

647
00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:58,040
Speaker 4: and Drake May was not present for the media access

648
00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 4: portion of Friday's practice. I'm starting to get a little

649
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:03,760
Speaker 4: worried that Trake May is a lot more hurt than

650
00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 4: the Patriots are leading on.

651
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:07,000
Speaker 7: Aren't they saying this one's a sickness right, He's just

652
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:08,960
Speaker 7: saying I'm trying to be smart keep them away from

653
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:11,960
Speaker 7: other people, which I would buy any team that's traveling anybody. Yeah,

654
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:15,160
Speaker 7: you probably can get sick if it is sort of

655
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:17,960
Speaker 7: an extension of that right shoulder injury. And they're a

656
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:21,000
Speaker 7: little concerned about that. That clearly would be something I'd be.

657
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:21,680
Speaker 8: Freaked out about.

658
00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:23,920
Speaker 1: You had Rabel playing chess nut checkers? Is that what

659
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:24,480
Speaker 1: you're doing there?

660
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:25,720
Speaker 8: I mean, his penis is at stake.

661
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:29,720
Speaker 1: Put it on the poll. Is Rabel's penis at steak?

662
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:30,360
Speaker 3: Oh?

663
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:32,520
Speaker 7: It's interesting though, because he'd probably want to lose if

664
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:33,360
Speaker 7: he's worried about it.

665
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:37,360
Speaker 1: Yes, they're just they're not storylines to your point that

666
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:40,320
Speaker 1: you can really latch onto. You know, it's not anyone

667
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:42,840
Speaker 1: playing for a legacy. It's not a guy who needs

668
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:44,800
Speaker 1: to win a Super Bowl. Sam Darnold doesn't need to

669
00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:45,959
Speaker 1: win a Super Bowl. He's done enough.

670
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 7: You're almost hate watching if you don't love the Patriots,

671
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:51,360
Speaker 7: you're hate watching the Patriots, which you've done for two

672
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:54,920
Speaker 7: decades now. More than that the Seahawks. Like if the

673
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:58,160
Speaker 7: Seahawks hadn't gone through the uh you know, Russell Wilson,

674
00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:01,040
Speaker 7: legion of boom Era, I would say, Wow, this is

675
00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 7: refreshing story by these Seahawks. But the only really part

676
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:06,840
Speaker 7: of that, like I said, is Darnold, which you know,

677
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:09,440
Speaker 7: multiple teams, and then it's you know, I think a

678
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:13,720
Speaker 7: young breakout talent like Jackson Smith and Jigba is always

679
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:16,800
Speaker 7: fun to watch, especially at that position. But again, I

680
00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:19,000
Speaker 7: just go watch highlight footage of him. I don't need

681
00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:20,600
Speaker 7: to see him in the super Bowl to think that

682
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:21,480
Speaker 7: this guy's going to be it.

683
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:22,560
Speaker 8: I already know he's the guy.

684
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:25,360
Speaker 1: Yep. I have found out today that Taylor will be

685
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:27,880
Speaker 1: attending the super Bowl. How about that? I mean correct,

686
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:30,880
Speaker 1: that's pretty cool for the super Bowl? Yeah, for super Bowl.

687
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 7: Wow, So you're getting back in time for Monday show

688
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:36,240
Speaker 7: or should we find somebody else to do the VIP route?

689
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:38,080
Speaker 4: So we're working on the logistics of that.

690
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:41,520
Speaker 1: Yes, he's planning on doing Monday show from Radio Row.

691
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:43,720
Speaker 8: Okay, that's fine.

692
00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:45,520
Speaker 1: I'm worried he'll never leave.

693
00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:47,960
Speaker 7: That would be even sadder than k Rod like a

694
00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:51,760
Speaker 7: Crickets Radio Row like posts Wow day after Yes, let's

695
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:52,400
Speaker 7: hope for it.

Speaker 1: you make is to Phil Mickelson. When you want to

701
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:10,360
Speaker 1: come back to the PGA Tour, the first call you

702
00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:14,239
Speaker 1: make it to Tiger Woods. I mean, how about you

703
00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:17,440
Speaker 1: call Tiger before you agree? As I would live. That

704
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:19,960
Speaker 1: would have been the smart move. Chris Long, I'm gonna

705
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:21,640
Speaker 1: join us here in a second. I feel bad here

706
00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:25,319
Speaker 1: because you know, we do these interviews and I tend

707
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:28,000
Speaker 1: to hog the guest time. I ask all the questions.

708
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:30,920
Speaker 1: If it's not me, it's it's Taylor. If it's not Taylor,

709
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:33,319
Speaker 1: it's mikey A and poor. Is he just being a

710
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:35,760
Speaker 1: professional sitting here and not asking any sort of question?

711
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:38,759
Speaker 1: So with that said, is he? I am going to

712
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:42,560
Speaker 1: allow you to ask the first question of our buddy,

713
00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:45,640
Speaker 1: Chris Long. Who I cannot wait to see next week

714
00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:47,680
Speaker 1: in San Francisco, we're gonna take mushrooms together?

715
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:49,480
Speaker 8: Well can I just do that?

716
00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:52,000
Speaker 9: But no, thank you, Chris, I really appreciate you taking

717
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:52,440
Speaker 9: my question.

718
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:52,719
Speaker 1: Here.

719
00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:56,640
Speaker 7: Is this the wildest NFL coaching carousel you've ever seen?

720
00:34:57,560 --> 00:34:59,440
Speaker 14: Yeah, you could get you kind of got the sense,

721
00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:02,640
Speaker 14: you know, like three weeks ago that like, damn, we

722
00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:07,080
Speaker 14: could have double digit openings, and of course here we are,

723
00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:13,959
Speaker 14: I think with double digit vacancies in total, and uh yeah,

724
00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:16,399
Speaker 14: some of the some of the teams that don't have

725
00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:21,560
Speaker 14: their guy yet. It's pretty interesting and like especially considering

726
00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:24,240
Speaker 14: a few of the places that are replacing their head coaches.

727
00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:28,399
Speaker 14: You're replacing Mike Common, You're replacing Harbaugh. You know, these

728
00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:32,400
Speaker 14: are generational replacements, man, Like, these guys have had cultures

729
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:36,000
Speaker 14: set in these places for as long as I can

730
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:39,440
Speaker 14: remember being a football fan, almost as an adult. And

731
00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:43,440
Speaker 14: then you know Sean McDermott winning you know x amount

732
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:48,600
Speaker 14: of AFC East Championships, winning a playoff game in you know,

733
00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:51,239
Speaker 14: consecutive seasons six times in a row, not being able

734
00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:53,040
Speaker 14: to get over the hump and getting fired. Yeah, the

735
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:57,080
Speaker 14: whole thing's crazy, man, And it's just the when when

736
00:35:57,160 --> 00:36:01,000
Speaker 14: Verybel and McDonalds, Yeah, you could get you kind of

737
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:04,760
Speaker 14: got the sense, you know, like three weeks ago that like, damn,

738
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:08,919
Speaker 14: we could have double digit openings, and of course here

739
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:13,320
Speaker 14: we are, I think, with double digit vacancies in total,

740
00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:18,000
Speaker 14: and uh yeah, some of the some of the teams

741
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:21,719
Speaker 14: that don't have their guy yet. It's pretty interesting. And

742
00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:25,279
Speaker 14: like especially considering a few of the places that are

743
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:29,640
Speaker 14: replacing their head coaches. You're replacing Mike Tomlin, You're replacing Harbaugh.

744
00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:33,800
Speaker 14: You know, these are generational replacements, man, Like, these guys

745
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:37,799
Speaker 14: have had cultures set in these places for as long

746
00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:40,080
Speaker 14: as I can remember being a football fan in almost

747
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:44,440
Speaker 14: as an adult. And then you know Sean McDermott winning

748
00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:48,400
Speaker 14: you know x amount of AFC East Championships, winning a

749
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:52,680
Speaker 14: playoff game in you know, consecutive seasons six times in

750
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:54,080
Speaker 14: a row, not being able to get over the hump

751
00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:54,840
Speaker 14: and getting fired.

752
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:56,439
Speaker 5: Yeah, the whole thing's crazy, man.

753
00:36:56,640 --> 00:37:03,040
Speaker 14: And it's just the when when verybel and McDonald end

754
00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:06,960
Speaker 14: up in the Super Bowl this quickly with their respective teams,

755
00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:09,560
Speaker 14: it only heightens the sense of you have to win now.

756
00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:13,000
Speaker 5: In the NFL, do you think those expectations are fair.

757
00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:14,160
Speaker 5: I don't.

758
00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 14: I don't think those expectations are fair. I think people

759
00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:23,399
Speaker 14: like to skirt the reality that if you make bad

760
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:26,200
Speaker 14: decisions as an organization, you have to sit with them

761
00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:31,759
Speaker 14: for a few years. Some decisions you can't just get

762
00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:36,120
Speaker 14: out of immediately. You know, some teams find ways to

763
00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:39,840
Speaker 14: win with a lot of dead cap, like Denver for instance.

764
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:44,839
Speaker 14: Right they're still paying Russell Wilson, They're still staring at

765
00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:47,160
Speaker 14: that number. There's other teams with dead cap that have

766
00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:50,239
Speaker 14: that have performed really well. But like, for the most part,

767
00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:53,000
Speaker 14: I think, you know, some teams, it's just going to

768
00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:55,920
Speaker 14: be a hard climb, and you know, you hire a

769
00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:56,960
Speaker 14: coordinator or.

770
00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:00,640
Speaker 5: You hire a head coach and.

771
00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:03,480
Speaker 14: You expect he's just gonna snap his fingers and things

772
00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:04,239
Speaker 14: are gonna get fixed.

773
00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:05,320
Speaker 5: I think some guys.

774
00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:08,560
Speaker 14: Get a really raw deal, and you know, you know,

775
00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:11,640
Speaker 14: some of these jobs are not very desirable, like the

776
00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:12,479
Speaker 14: Miami job.

777
00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:14,839
Speaker 5: And I think Halfley is.

778
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:18,359
Speaker 14: And I'm not just saying this because you're here, Stu,

779
00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:22,840
Speaker 14: but like, but like Halfley, I think is a He

780
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:26,319
Speaker 14: strikes me as a really sound leader, Like he's got

781
00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:28,319
Speaker 14: that presence at the podium and that sort of thing,

782
00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:30,880
Speaker 14: like mixed bag on what I think about the defense

783
00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:34,839
Speaker 14: BC wasn't I mean, he wasn't like wildly successful at BC.

784
00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:37,840
Speaker 14: You know, with Michael Parsons, they're dominant. But then he

785
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:41,000
Speaker 14: leaves and you're kind of like, okay, well was it

786
00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:43,600
Speaker 14: was it Parsons or was it Halflee? You know, was

787
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:45,480
Speaker 14: it some of the And now he's got a job

788
00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:47,760
Speaker 14: in Miami, and Miami would be one of the least

789
00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:50,920
Speaker 14: attractive jobs for me, Like a job like that, I'm like,

790
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:52,160
Speaker 14: what do you want the guy to do?

791
00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:55,280
Speaker 5: Sure? You know, like how many years would would be fair?

792
00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:58,719
Speaker 14: And and the reality is for a lot of these

793
00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:03,120
Speaker 14: like the Draw Mayo thing in New England. Okay, Rabel

794
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:06,000
Speaker 14: was probably our kk's guy from the beginning.

795
00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:07,040
Speaker 5: He had to wait a year.

796
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:10,640
Speaker 14: That doesn't make it any less screwed up that they

797
00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:13,239
Speaker 14: gave Gerrodmea that job knowing they were going to fire

798
00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:16,200
Speaker 14: him and probably a year and did not spend any

799
00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:19,480
Speaker 14: money in free agency, and the very next year. You know,

800
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:22,240
Speaker 14: of course Rabel's a better coach. He's a great coach.

801
00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:26,120
Speaker 14: But they also they also did the right thing. They

802
00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:29,880
Speaker 14: cashed it on the rookie quarterback deal window and spent

803
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:34,200
Speaker 14: hundreds of millions of dollars in free agency, and here

804
00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:36,799
Speaker 14: they are, and so like, yeah, like the circumstances you

805
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:39,919
Speaker 14: coach in the delta between one job to the next

806
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:40,520
Speaker 14: is crazy.

807
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:42,320
Speaker 1: But you don't like that they used him as a

808
00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:45,400
Speaker 1: bridge coach essentially, right.

809
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:48,120
Speaker 14: I just thought like it was obvious what they were doing.

810
00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:53,520
Speaker 14: That doesn't make that doesn't make like everybody nobody's gonna say, hey,

811
00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:57,000
Speaker 14: you shouldn't have hired Vrabel, especially now the proof.

812
00:39:56,840 --> 00:39:57,480
Speaker 5: Is in the pudding.

813
00:39:57,880 --> 00:39:59,600
Speaker 14: It's just I think a lot of people miss the

814
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:03,839
Speaker 14: point where is like you know, and and it's easy

815
00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:05,879
Speaker 14: to get wrapped up in this because I remember being

816
00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:08,759
Speaker 14: pissed off about it, but especially because he's like from

817
00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:12,680
Speaker 14: my draft class, Mayo, and like he's he's actually from Virginia.

818
00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:14,120
Speaker 14: Is a guy I've known a long time and a

819
00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:17,160
Speaker 14: good dude. You just you think about the person getting

820
00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:22,640
Speaker 14: that opportunity, and some of these things aren't opportunities, you know,

821
00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:24,840
Speaker 14: and like some of these jobs, And that's why I

822
00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:28,480
Speaker 14: think the Ben Johnson thinks so interesting, Like Ben Johnson saying, hey,

823
00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:30,759
Speaker 14: I'm not going to take the first job that I

824
00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:35,400
Speaker 14: can get because I value that first opportunity and know

825
00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:37,399
Speaker 14: that like if it doesn't go well, like when's your

826
00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:40,799
Speaker 14: next one happening? As unfair as that might be, and

827
00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:43,960
Speaker 14: so I think that trend should probably pick up a

828
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:46,200
Speaker 14: little steam. Like I know it's easier said than done,

829
00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:48,040
Speaker 14: but like if I was a coordinator and I didn't

830
00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:51,120
Speaker 14: like my job opportunity and I believed in myself, like

831
00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:52,760
Speaker 14: I'm not going to take the first one.

832
00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:56,279
Speaker 1: What'd you make of their of their decision to go

833
00:40:56,360 --> 00:40:59,080
Speaker 1: for it. Everyone's talking about Sean Payton's decision to go

834
00:40:59,200 --> 00:40:59,719
Speaker 1: for it in the.

835
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:02,480
Speaker 14: I'm so tired of this. Dude, if you're there, you

836
00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:08,799
Speaker 14: are no But like if everybody now everybody's you know,

837
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:11,600
Speaker 14: entitled to their opinion on this thing, there's no right

838
00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:15,799
Speaker 14: answer because we're doing in retrospect. If you were that

839
00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:21,120
Speaker 14: adamant about taking the points, like timestamp it, you put

840
00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:24,520
Speaker 14: it on your social media, you know, like record a

841
00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:26,480
Speaker 14: video and because a.

842
00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:28,279
Speaker 1: Day long with you on this, yes, do it at

843
00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:30,680
Speaker 1: the time. Now, to Mikeya's credit, he did say it

844
00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:32,359
Speaker 1: at the time. You have to take the points there.

845
00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:34,160
Speaker 1: He said it as it was happening.

846
00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:36,000
Speaker 14: Right, And you know what I said, as it happened,

847
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:40,880
Speaker 14: I like going I don't like the call, right and

848
00:41:40,880 --> 00:41:43,279
Speaker 14: and you know it's so easy to say, well, look

849
00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:47,040
Speaker 14: they lost ten to seven. Okay, well New England could

850
00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:50,160
Speaker 14: have kicked if Borgolis made that second field goal and

851
00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:53,000
Speaker 14: they'd be up thirteen to seven. You know, it wouldn't

852
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:54,759
Speaker 14: have been enough to score ten points. And then what

853
00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:58,040
Speaker 14: you're gonna do when you go into overtime. The point was,

854
00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:02,040
Speaker 14: and I think the curiosity for me is like, how

855
00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:07,239
Speaker 14: aware were these coaches that there was a blizzard on

856
00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:10,080
Speaker 14: the horizon in the third quarter. I believe Josh and

857
00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:14,120
Speaker 14: Vrabes were all over that. The way they ran that

858
00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:16,120
Speaker 14: third quarter drive, it was like if you look at

859
00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:18,719
Speaker 14: the the all twenty two to the sideline view of

860
00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:21,920
Speaker 14: the scoreboard, when they start that drive and when they

861
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:25,920
Speaker 14: start the next drive, it is like night and day visibility.

862
00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:30,279
Speaker 14: The win the precipitation. So they nailed that drive in

863
00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:32,080
Speaker 14: the third quarter. But the point I want to make

864
00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:36,360
Speaker 14: is it's fourth and short if you score fourteen points

865
00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:39,040
Speaker 14: on a team like New England who's not very good

866
00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:42,880
Speaker 14: in the red zone offensively, ironically, they made a count

867
00:42:43,120 --> 00:42:47,080
Speaker 14: when you gave them the ball, you think you're gonna

868
00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:49,560
Speaker 14: win that football game. I hate the call because it

869
00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:53,480
Speaker 14: limits you you have one option. I think Stidham looked

870
00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:56,399
Speaker 14: best when you spread that team out and you gave

871
00:42:56,480 --> 00:42:59,719
Speaker 14: him late down run pass options, you know, use his

872
00:42:59,840 --> 00:43:02,680
Speaker 14: leg that sort of thing. I think you spread them out,

873
00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:04,840
Speaker 14: you make him declare, and you go from there and

874
00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:08,200
Speaker 14: you trust him to throw the football because the run

875
00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:08,919
Speaker 14: game wasn't great.

876
00:43:08,920 --> 00:43:10,440
Speaker 5: And that's the one thing for Denver.

877
00:43:10,239 --> 00:43:12,600
Speaker 14: Is like, Okay, we're talking a lot about Denver what

878
00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:14,200
Speaker 14: they could have done, what they should have done.

879
00:43:15,239 --> 00:43:17,239
Speaker 5: Wouldn't it be nice if they had a run game.

880
00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:19,759
Speaker 14: So that's something that they have to come back to

881
00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:23,200
Speaker 14: this offseason and say, I know JK. Dobbins makes a difference,

882
00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:25,880
Speaker 14: but I think they need a really dynamic back.

883
00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:28,680
Speaker 1: But you're okay with Sean Payton trying what he's trying

884
00:43:28,680 --> 00:43:31,080
Speaker 1: to do in that spot, knowing in all likelihood there's

885
00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:33,440
Speaker 1: a snowstorm coming in the second half. He's trying to

886
00:43:33,440 --> 00:43:36,400
Speaker 1: get to fourteen because he knows fourteen likely wins that game.

887
00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:37,959
Speaker 5: For them, right, buries them.

888
00:43:38,239 --> 00:43:42,560
Speaker 14: Yeah, And honestly, ten does two right if Stidham doesn't

889
00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:47,200
Speaker 14: throw the ball backwards. Okay, But I think the point

890
00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:50,560
Speaker 14: is the point is, like we're all doing this thing.

891
00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:53,360
Speaker 14: And I thought Sean Payton mismanaged this game at times.

892
00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:55,880
Speaker 14: I think he did, like little things like before the

893
00:43:55,960 --> 00:43:58,759
Speaker 14: half and maybe this was on Stidham. But on third

894
00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:01,359
Speaker 14: and four, as the clocks running down, you got under

895
00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:04,759
Speaker 14: thirty seconds ago, he runs out of bounds before they

896
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:05,919
Speaker 14: attempt that field goal.

897
00:44:06,360 --> 00:44:08,920
Speaker 5: Now, what that does, in effect is gives New England

898
00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:10,000
Speaker 5: a chance for two for one.

899
00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:12,879
Speaker 14: They get the ball back and they're lucky that Drake

900
00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:15,319
Speaker 14: May ran out of time in space and they had

901
00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:18,200
Speaker 14: kicked that super long field goal. There were a ton

902
00:44:18,239 --> 00:44:22,480
Speaker 14: of the time out late, some of the decision making offensively.

903
00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:25,680
Speaker 5: Here's the other thing. Their kicker missed two kicks.

904
00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:29,399
Speaker 1: Yes, in the game, right right, you're right, you're very

905
00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:30,719
Speaker 1: passionate about this. I love it.

906
00:44:30,840 --> 00:44:33,120
Speaker 5: Yes, No, I love situational football.

907
00:44:33,160 --> 00:44:33,640
Speaker 1: I know you do.

908
00:44:33,760 --> 00:44:40,759
Speaker 4: That's why, Chris, what's the ticket situation for players at

909
00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:43,200
Speaker 4: the Super Bowl? Because I would guess that most fans

910
00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:44,840
Speaker 4: just assume they get them for free.

911
00:44:45,320 --> 00:44:47,120
Speaker 5: Oh dude, we never get tickets for free.

912
00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:49,600
Speaker 14: And when you tell fans when they asked you, like, hey,

913
00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:51,120
Speaker 14: you know where you can find some tickets? Like I

914
00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:53,160
Speaker 14: had somebody, a buddy of mine who actually like was

915
00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:56,440
Speaker 14: like hey, and he didn't know any better, but he

916
00:44:56,520 --> 00:44:59,839
Speaker 14: was like, how hard would it be get to get

917
00:44:59,840 --> 00:45:02,680
Speaker 14: thro tickets for the Eagles playoff game? And I'm like,

918
00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:05,120
Speaker 14: just as hard for me as it is for you, Like,

919
00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:08,759
Speaker 14: you know, like maybe I maybe I can get you

920
00:45:09,239 --> 00:45:14,839
Speaker 14: three tickets with you know, incrementally better prices, but they're

921
00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:17,960
Speaker 14: not like I got to go to a player and

922
00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:20,480
Speaker 14: he's got to use his allotment of tickets like that

923
00:45:20,520 --> 00:45:22,399
Speaker 14: he has for his family. So I'm gonna be like, hey,

924
00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:26,360
Speaker 14: my buddy from college was wondering if you can use

925
00:45:26,840 --> 00:45:32,520
Speaker 14: your tickets and increase the distraction quotient on your week

926
00:45:33,040 --> 00:45:36,319
Speaker 14: and go through the proper channels and take tickets off

927
00:45:36,360 --> 00:45:37,479
Speaker 14: the table for somebody else.

928
00:45:38,320 --> 00:45:39,239
Speaker 5: How well do you know this guy?

929
00:45:39,280 --> 00:45:39,440
Speaker 3: Well?

930
00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:41,080
Speaker 14: I know him, but I haven't seen him in years,

931
00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:44,760
Speaker 14: and he's just trying to save one hundred dollars.

932
00:45:45,360 --> 00:45:48,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, Chris, let me explain why Taylor asked that question.

933
00:45:48,560 --> 00:45:50,960
Speaker 1: His best friend is Matt Collins, who was playing in

934
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:52,480
Speaker 1: the Super Yes, that's his best friend.

935
00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:52,799
Speaker 8: You know.

936
00:45:53,080 --> 00:45:56,000
Speaker 1: Mac Taylor was a walk on receiv in North Carolina.

937
00:45:56,200 --> 00:46:00,160
Speaker 14: Oh man, did you play with Mac Collins? I've to

938
00:46:00,239 --> 00:46:02,360
Speaker 14: play with him in Philly one of my favorite people.

939
00:46:03,160 --> 00:46:04,080
Speaker 5: Like legit.

940
00:46:05,160 --> 00:46:07,879
Speaker 14: People see his antics and they're like, yo, what's wrong

941
00:46:07,920 --> 00:46:10,920
Speaker 14: with this guy? And I'm like, well, it ain't fake.

942
00:46:12,200 --> 00:46:15,839
Speaker 14: That's exactly that twenty four to seven who he is?

943
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:18,759
Speaker 14: Bro and and he was just a gamer bro Like

944
00:46:19,640 --> 00:46:21,720
Speaker 14: he was always a special teams guy in Philly.

945
00:46:21,760 --> 00:46:23,920
Speaker 5: But you know, like just the type of guy that

946
00:46:23,960 --> 00:46:24,960
Speaker 5: you could just trust. Man.

947
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:28,240
Speaker 14: It's like when Drake goes to him a couple times

948
00:46:28,239 --> 00:46:31,520
Speaker 14: a game. Yeah, he's just so trustworthy. He blocks his

949
00:46:31,560 --> 00:46:34,320
Speaker 14: bag off, dude, He's a great teammate.

950
00:46:34,440 --> 00:46:37,839
Speaker 5: He brings the energy. Love mac collins, dude, Yeah, love.

951
00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:40,600
Speaker 1: But Taylor, what Taylor wants to know is he's kind

952
00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:42,640
Speaker 1: of trying to figure out through you. By the way

953
00:46:43,239 --> 00:46:45,440
Speaker 1: how he goes about asking mc collins for tickets to

954
00:46:45,480 --> 00:46:45,759
Speaker 1: the game.

955
00:46:45,800 --> 00:46:48,760
Speaker 14: You know, so so Chris, I always if you're best friends,

956
00:46:48,760 --> 00:46:49,880
Speaker 14: that's okay.

957
00:46:49,719 --> 00:46:52,760
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, And the situation is a little different because

958
00:46:53,400 --> 00:46:56,640
Speaker 4: since we have the relationship from college, I always pay him.

959
00:46:56,480 --> 00:46:57,920
Speaker 5: For the tickets that he gets.

960
00:46:58,280 --> 00:47:01,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, but I remember thinking, thinking in twenty eighteen, I

961
00:47:01,960 --> 00:47:05,120
Speaker 4: had the chance to go to Minneapolis and it was freezing,

962
00:47:05,360 --> 00:47:07,760
Speaker 4: and I believe I got priced out of the ticket range.

963
00:47:08,480 --> 00:47:13,239
Speaker 14: Yeah, that that that Super Bowl wasn't great for spectators, man,

964
00:47:13,400 --> 00:47:14,800
Speaker 14: Like you couldn't really.

965
00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:18,040
Speaker 5: Go outside, per se, Dude.

966
00:47:18,200 --> 00:47:20,800
Speaker 14: At Super Bowl, we were in the We stayed in

967
00:47:20,840 --> 00:47:23,360
Speaker 14: the Mall of America, Taylor, as you probably know because

968
00:47:23,480 --> 00:47:24,800
Speaker 14: you were talking to Mac and everything.

969
00:47:24,800 --> 00:47:27,719
Speaker 5: But uh, the Pats were on one side, we were

970
00:47:27,719 --> 00:47:28,200
Speaker 5: on the other.

971
00:47:28,600 --> 00:47:30,600
Speaker 14: The only thing guys could really do in their downtime

972
00:47:30,719 --> 00:47:31,759
Speaker 14: was walk around the mall.

973
00:47:32,280 --> 00:47:33,040
Speaker 5: So you had this.

974
00:47:33,120 --> 00:47:38,439
Speaker 15: Like like uh like like like gangs walking around the mall,

975
00:47:38,520 --> 00:47:40,960
Speaker 15: like you know, like we were on different sides, bro

976
00:47:41,080 --> 00:47:44,480
Speaker 15: like like kind of West Side story type or Warriors

977
00:47:44,560 --> 00:47:45,200
Speaker 15: type stuff.

978
00:47:45,520 --> 00:47:49,960
Speaker 5: Speaking of Mac Collins walking around the food court and uh.

979
00:47:50,120 --> 00:47:53,000
Speaker 14: And like when you'd walk by dudes, it's so funny

980
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:55,839
Speaker 14: because like I'd see like Devin mccordy and we were

981
00:47:55,840 --> 00:47:58,880
Speaker 14: teammates last year, you know, at this point, and like

982
00:47:58,960 --> 00:48:00,759
Speaker 14: we'd be like, yo, man, what's up, dude, Like we

983
00:48:00,880 --> 00:48:03,120
Speaker 14: see guys in Benny Hanna, Like everybody would be in

984
00:48:03,120 --> 00:48:05,359
Speaker 14: Benny Hannah at the same time, because there's like only

985
00:48:05,400 --> 00:48:09,080
Speaker 14: one walk restaurant in the whole mall. And then uh,

986
00:48:09,120 --> 00:48:12,640
Speaker 14: and then and then I'd walk by some guys like

987
00:48:12,719 --> 00:48:14,960
Speaker 14: I had this this younger teammate who is a d

988
00:48:15,120 --> 00:48:17,520
Speaker 14: lineman who I like helped a year ago. Like he

989
00:48:17,640 --> 00:48:19,640
Speaker 14: was like, hey, Vett, Like how can I get better?

990
00:48:20,080 --> 00:48:22,160
Speaker 14: And then I passed him in the in the hallway

991
00:48:22,160 --> 00:48:23,440
Speaker 14: and I was like, Yo, what's up?

992
00:48:23,480 --> 00:48:24,080
Speaker 5: Redacted?

993
00:48:24,480 --> 00:48:26,840
Speaker 14: And he like ignored me, Bro, He like looked me

994
00:48:26,920 --> 00:48:30,120
Speaker 14: up and down like this is game week. Like I'm like,

995
00:48:30,160 --> 00:48:31,120
Speaker 14: how corny are you?

996
00:48:31,200 --> 00:48:31,359
Speaker 3: Bro?

997
00:48:31,480 --> 00:48:32,319
Speaker 5: But we're in a mall.

998
00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:34,719
Speaker 14: I'm like, dude, we're in a mall. Just say what's up.

999
00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:35,800
Speaker 14: It's not that serious.

1000
00:48:36,280 --> 00:48:36,560
Speaker 3: Uh.

1001
00:48:36,600 --> 00:48:38,920
Speaker 5: We didn't get to go outside. It sucked.

1002
00:48:40,160 --> 00:48:43,160
Speaker 14: I remember the after party. It was like the coldest

1003
00:48:43,239 --> 00:48:45,960
Speaker 14: night of my life. So yeah, I'm I'm all for

1004
00:48:47,040 --> 00:48:52,040
Speaker 14: every city getting a shot, but probably not that city again, right, Uh?

1005
00:48:52,160 --> 00:48:55,080
Speaker 1: Chris? Is Super Bowl Week fun? Like like all the

1006
00:48:55,239 --> 00:48:57,200
Speaker 1: all the stuff leading up to the actual game. I

1007
00:48:57,200 --> 00:49:00,000
Speaker 1: know the game is fun, but his super Bowl Week fun?

1008
00:49:00,160 --> 00:49:01,960
Speaker 1: Is it a fun experience for the players?

1009
00:49:02,280 --> 00:49:06,280
Speaker 14: I think so? I think it is fun. There's maybe

1010
00:49:06,320 --> 00:49:08,560
Speaker 14: not the right word. Like I didn't go out drinking

1011
00:49:08,760 --> 00:49:11,200
Speaker 14: or go out like partying. There's certainly some guys that

1012
00:49:11,280 --> 00:49:12,880
Speaker 14: decide that that's what they want to do.

1013
00:49:12,960 --> 00:49:14,240
Speaker 5: With some of their off time.

1014
00:49:15,560 --> 00:49:19,239
Speaker 14: And honestly, it's it's kind of like understood that, you know,

1015
00:49:19,680 --> 00:49:21,399
Speaker 14: guys are going to go out and party a little bit.

1016
00:49:21,520 --> 00:49:25,680
Speaker 14: Like for me, maybe it's because I'm just a creature habit,

1017
00:49:25,880 --> 00:49:28,640
Speaker 14: like I need my sleep, I need some privacy. The

1018
00:49:28,640 --> 00:49:30,640
Speaker 14: hard part about it is you never feel alone.

1019
00:49:31,080 --> 00:49:32,520
Speaker 5: Yes, you know.

1020
00:49:32,560 --> 00:49:34,840
Speaker 14: I remember checking into the hotel in Houston when I

1021
00:49:34,920 --> 00:49:37,560
Speaker 14: was with the Patriots and never having any preconceived notion

1022
00:49:37,560 --> 00:49:39,799
Speaker 14: about what it was like, and getting up to my

1023
00:49:39,920 --> 00:49:43,520
Speaker 14: room and just feeling the buzz outside, like hearing the

1024
00:49:43,960 --> 00:49:47,200
Speaker 14: voices like that surround the hotel, like and I'm sixteen

1025
00:49:47,239 --> 00:49:49,359
Speaker 14: stories up. You can hear people out there milling around.

1026
00:49:49,360 --> 00:49:52,600
Speaker 14: You can hear helicopters. You know, there's people in the lobby.

1027
00:49:52,640 --> 00:49:54,000
Speaker 14: If you get down the lobby, you gotta have like

1028
00:49:54,120 --> 00:49:57,520
Speaker 14: sunglasses and like a hoodie and like your headphones on.

1029
00:49:58,400 --> 00:50:01,600
Speaker 14: There's no downtime, there's no time like even your alone time.

1030
00:50:01,760 --> 00:50:04,520
Speaker 14: Your downtime. They whisk you off to like a media

1031
00:50:04,600 --> 00:50:07,120
Speaker 14: day where they're Yeah. The fun part about it is

1032
00:50:07,120 --> 00:50:09,600
Speaker 14: somebody from China's asking you a question. You're like, oh,

1033
00:50:09,600 --> 00:50:11,840
Speaker 14: this is kind of a big deal, or you know,

1034
00:50:12,880 --> 00:50:16,080
Speaker 14: you get to go to some event and you kind

1035
00:50:16,120 --> 00:50:17,960
Speaker 14: of you get a glimpse of the magnitude of what

1036
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:21,040
Speaker 14: you're about to do because the world's media is like

1037
00:50:21,280 --> 00:50:24,480
Speaker 14: converged around you know, the whole scene. And yeah, you

1038
00:50:24,520 --> 00:50:27,319
Speaker 14: go through the walkthrough at the stadium, which is like

1039
00:50:27,400 --> 00:50:29,040
Speaker 14: kind of surrealed the day before.

1040
00:50:29,800 --> 00:50:31,360
Speaker 5: You know, you see your plaque.

1041
00:50:31,360 --> 00:50:34,560
Speaker 14: It's got your name and Super Bowl whatever on it.

1042
00:50:34,640 --> 00:50:37,000
Speaker 14: Like there's a million moments during the week where you're like,

1043
00:50:37,040 --> 00:50:38,240
Speaker 14: oh my god, this is real.

1044
00:50:39,080 --> 00:50:40,440
Speaker 5: So in that way, it's really fun.

1045
00:50:41,280 --> 00:50:43,560
Speaker 14: In some ways, it's like, damn, dude, I wish we

1046
00:50:43,560 --> 00:50:47,120
Speaker 14: were back home preparing for this game because we are

1047
00:50:47,160 --> 00:50:50,960
Speaker 14: creatures of habit, like in our natural habitat bro I

1048
00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:53,720
