1 00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:10,920 Speaker 1: The Around the Ink podcast starts now. Welcome back to 2 00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:13,159 Speaker 1: another edition of the Round League podcast. My name is 3 00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:15,400 Speaker 1: Dan Henders, and I'm joined by a room filled with 4 00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:19,800 Speaker 1: heroes Chris Westling, Mark Sessler, and Greg Girls and all 5 00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:25,640 Speaker 1: what up boys from MetLife Stadium, super Bowl forty eight. 6 00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:28,560 Speaker 1: In the books, Dan and Greg are already out of 7 00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:31,000 Speaker 1: their chairs in the podcast just started. Well, Dan was 8 00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:34,040 Speaker 1: standing up to start the podcast, and we're else seated, 9 00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:36,519 Speaker 1: and I'm looking out here at the confetti on the 10 00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:40,600 Speaker 1: what's the old? And the super Bowl does happen? And 11 00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:44,159 Speaker 1: our season is over and we just pounded out fifteen posts. 12 00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:46,320 Speaker 1: I mean I wish we were pounded out fifteen beers 13 00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:48,879 Speaker 1: because I'm exhausted. Let's set the scene. We are in 14 00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:52,320 Speaker 1: the auxiliary box at MetLife Stadium in the medal ends 15 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:55,160 Speaker 1: from the Seahawks side of the end zone, looking down 16 00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:57,600 Speaker 1: at the confetti on the field. The players are long gone. 17 00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:03,280 Speaker 1: Forty three eight Seahawks win over the Broncos in a 18 00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:11,240 Speaker 1: lopsided Super Bowl that nobody predicted. Oh wait, well you 19 00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:13,479 Speaker 1: said the Brown Becos would have seventeen points. You weren't 20 00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:17,679 Speaker 1: even close. Man final score prediction made by me last 21 00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:23,840 Speaker 1: week seventeen. Seahawks flamed on Twitter for that prediction. But 22 00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:31,119 Speaker 1: let's take it back further. Coincidentally, December two, Greg, December two, 23 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:35,720 Speaker 1: two thousand and thirteen, exactly two months ago, I wrote, 24 00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:40,040 Speaker 1: get ready people, the first Super Bowl blowout is coming. 25 00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,280 Speaker 1: And sometime it was the night that the Seahawks blew 26 00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:45,880 Speaker 1: out the Saints at home, and I predicted that, and 27 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 1: I got flamed and Greg Rosenthal had the most memorable reply, 28 00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:57,480 Speaker 1: which was saving this for future ridicule in New Jersey. Greg, well, 29 00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:01,720 Speaker 1: I have to admit, um, when you're right, you're right. 30 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 1: And you know, maybe the Seahawks have been building to 31 00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,680 Speaker 1: this moment for four years, and maybe they're one of 32 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:11,480 Speaker 1: the greatest defenses of all time and maybe one of 33 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 1: the greatest quarterbacks of all time just got served highest 34 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 1: scoring offense scored eight points. But despite all that, it's 35 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 1: all about Dan Handen's that's really the big Dan Hands is. 36 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 1: That's that's what we said the podcast. But it's all 37 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:29,560 Speaker 1: about predictions and us here. That's the amending you. On Twitter, 38 00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 1: someone said, on a scale of one to day, how 39 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,639 Speaker 1: smuggle Dan Hands, and that's not good to night, I said, 40 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,799 Speaker 1: Dan doesn't do smug. Oh, yes, today, I will because 41 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:39,760 Speaker 1: this has been this has been a big journey for 42 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,639 Speaker 1: me all the way through. This is really a night No, no, 43 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 1: it's not a night moment for you. D I will 44 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 1: say this though, if I could be honest. The reason 45 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:50,280 Speaker 1: I said that two months ago is because that was 46 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 1: a night where they were playing at their apex and 47 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 1: I always thought that they were the most talented team 48 00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,040 Speaker 1: by a long stretch, and if they were playing well 49 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,040 Speaker 1: and I zoom, they would throughout the rest of the season. 50 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 1: I just thought I thought they were the best in 51 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:09,240 Speaker 1: the league. Yeah, and I would I cut off the 52 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,480 Speaker 1: avenue of trying to act as though you went through 53 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,200 Speaker 1: with some deep analysis. You threw something out there, you 54 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,440 Speaker 1: got a few beers in, you was at the office 55 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:21,120 Speaker 1: working well. I don't think that chese this out there 56 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 1: and just sit with it. It's good and you don't 57 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 1: need to back the truck up and analyze it. We're 58 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 1: all well know, nobody wants me to back up the truck, 59 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:31,959 Speaker 1: but I will. I will move on now, we will 60 00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 1: move forward. But listen there, I think we should do 61 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 1: the whole podcast on your prediction. That's it. Let's just 62 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 1: talk about that in which wing of your house are 63 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 1: you going to keep the Lombardy drum? Well, it depends, 64 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 1: It really depends, uh, because I figured there will be 65 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 1: a big financial fallout for me at all. I'm expecting 66 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 1: a lot of phone calls, um, a lot of media requests. 67 00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 1: I haven't checked my phone yet. I assume it's going 68 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:01,800 Speaker 1: to be pretty wild. On Mark, you you are dying? 69 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,200 Speaker 1: Is that a fact or not? You? You found like 70 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 1: this week has taken a lot out of you. You're 71 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 1: playing her here. I my voice obviously sound like the 72 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 1: middle Brady in that episode where he attempted to say 73 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 1: in the worlds best if we just continue on? You 74 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 1: were you were down in the Seahawks locker room after 75 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:29,839 Speaker 1: the game that they life's dreams culminated tonight. What what 76 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:31,600 Speaker 1: was it like? What was the scene? Like? You know, 77 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:33,520 Speaker 1: I was down there with Dad, so really all I 78 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:37,839 Speaker 1: could focus on was what Dan was doing. Yeah, and 79 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 1: it was, but there were of the things I witnessed. 80 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 1: Percy Harvin had you know, I think the guy he 81 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 1: said this week he's had a frustrating season. It's been trying. 82 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:48,880 Speaker 1: Huge night tonight and he was just beaming in the 83 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 1: locker room, very happy that team. I mean that the 84 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 1: theme all week long was we are unified. We are 85 00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,600 Speaker 1: We're going to speak the same language, We're gonna approach 86 00:04:58,640 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 1: this game in the same way. And I think you 87 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 1: Dan and I were both there for Carol lifting the 88 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 1: trophy and giving one of the better speeches I've never 89 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 1: heard in there. That was Mark and I were both 90 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 1: in the locker room for Carol's speech in which he 91 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:13,840 Speaker 1: he came into the locker room, he brought his guys 92 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,480 Speaker 1: into the center of the room. Uh, pushed the media 93 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 1: back a little bit, but we were still right in 94 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:21,359 Speaker 1: the mix observing it all. And he he gave about 95 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 1: a four minute speech to his players in which you know, 96 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 1: he thanked them for what they were to do. He 97 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,520 Speaker 1: went down like a laundry list of people that would 98 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:30,920 Speaker 1: stepped up in the game. Gave a special shout out 99 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 1: to Dan Quinn h to the twelve man in Seattle. 100 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,719 Speaker 1: And I thought it was a really interesting thing to 101 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 1: see how close these guys were and how and the 102 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 1: bond between this team and this and this coach. It 103 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:48,159 Speaker 1: was really to me Carol was the perfect guy in 104 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,279 Speaker 1: the perfect city for the perfect team, and it was 105 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,720 Speaker 1: and it all culminated tonight, flipping that a little bit 106 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 1: like I talked to a couple of players who were 107 00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,080 Speaker 1: pretty open. I thought they would be guarded on this 108 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,200 Speaker 1: this front, but I asked, like Tony McDaniel did Deadford, 109 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:06,680 Speaker 1: because they looked just lifeless from the minute Percy harve 110 00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:10,279 Speaker 1: It took that second half kick off back. He basically said, 111 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:13,599 Speaker 1: they looked like dead man walking. They looked like guys 112 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 1: were given up out there. I mean, and they did. 113 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,800 Speaker 1: To us, it was obvious. Richard Sherman said to on 114 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:22,440 Speaker 1: NFL Network that the receiver as the wineman, they weren't 115 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:25,039 Speaker 1: blocking his heart on the bubble screens in the second half, 116 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 1: that that there will had been broken and this is 117 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:32,560 Speaker 1: a historic offense that was used to pushing everyone around 118 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:36,279 Speaker 1: and suddenly it's twenty one nothing right after halftime. Maybe 119 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:40,159 Speaker 1: I know you picked the blowout. Four of the five 120 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 1: eight deal writers actually picked the Seahawks win. You were 121 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 1: the only one that thought the Broncos were gonna win, 122 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:50,600 Speaker 1: which was a pretty popular pick. I'm talking to Chris Wessling, 123 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,279 Speaker 1: of course, you know, as someone who thought the Broncos 124 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:55,279 Speaker 1: were gonna win, What were were you thinking here and 125 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:58,239 Speaker 1: what were the takeaways for you West. I was thinking 126 00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:02,680 Speaker 1: that everybody was underrating the Broncos offense, which was you know, 127 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,039 Speaker 1: we saw they could just throw an onslaught on anybody 128 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,479 Speaker 1: at any given time, and it just never happened. Today. 129 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 1: They set the wrong tone with the box snaps safety 130 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 1: and never recovered from that. They have plenty of opportunities 131 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:15,720 Speaker 1: with the Seahawks blowing red zone chances and they just 132 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 1: couldn't rally back from that. And I think that kickoff 133 00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 1: returned to start to second half was the nail on 134 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:26,120 Speaker 1: the call. I thought Bruno Mars's performance really took anything 135 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:27,720 Speaker 1: that was left of the Bronco was. I think a 136 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 1: lot of the Broncos thought, oh, this guy was gonna 137 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,440 Speaker 1: do poorly and then we would get energy. But then 138 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:34,760 Speaker 1: he killed out there. Bruno did great. Did That's true? 139 00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:36,880 Speaker 1: That was kind of a secret moment in the evening 140 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:41,240 Speaker 1: where not football related on any level, but pivotal if 141 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:45,240 Speaker 1: Dan actually left our little press box area were in 142 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:49,119 Speaker 1: a separate NFL dot com only room, basically they built 143 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:52,880 Speaker 1: for us. We're writing the first half takeaways, were eating, 144 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,160 Speaker 1: we're talking about the game. Dan leaves to make sure 145 00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:58,880 Speaker 1: he gets better sound quality for the Bruno marks that's 146 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:01,600 Speaker 1: where his head is at. Do let's admit I was 147 00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:04,520 Speaker 1: obviously it was pretty on my game today, but I 148 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,120 Speaker 1: like to consider myself well rounded. I wanted to hear 149 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:10,120 Speaker 1: what what Mars sounded like, and I'm a Chili Peppers fan. 150 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:12,400 Speaker 1: But then it was too cold out and the weather 151 00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:15,280 Speaker 1: obviously was not a big issue. Was perfect for the 152 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 1: Super Bowl, but the Chili and I had to come 153 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:20,720 Speaker 1: back in. That's the first attempt ever I've heard somebody 154 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:22,760 Speaker 1: tried to paint themselves as well rounded because they like 155 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:28,160 Speaker 1: a pop star. Uncle was so to get back to 156 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 1: the game. The thing that struck me was that Bronco's 157 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:34,400 Speaker 1: offensive line in that first half, that we gave them 158 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,680 Speaker 1: so much credit all year, and I I watched a 159 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,240 Speaker 1: lot of tape the last couple of weeks and Chris Clark, 160 00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:42,280 Speaker 1: I thought played great, and you know, Orlando Franklin on 161 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:44,760 Speaker 1: the right side, and Manny Ramirez got a lot of love. 162 00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:48,199 Speaker 1: No one got near Manning. They got worked. I mean, 163 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:52,480 Speaker 1: Chris Clements in Cliff April, those are my m v ps. 164 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:54,719 Speaker 1: Those would be my two co m v ps. For 165 00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,559 Speaker 1: the pressure that they got on Manning. You wrote post 166 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,960 Speaker 1: all week mark about how this Attle defense wanted them 167 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,440 Speaker 1: to get Manning to move his feet, and they got 168 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,959 Speaker 1: that done. He was under pressure. Avriel basically caused to turnovers. 169 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,760 Speaker 1: Give him, give him the hardware. I agree on Avril 170 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:12,840 Speaker 1: and Clements. I would split the m VD between the 171 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:17,200 Speaker 1: two of them and our boss. John Marvel. A Broncos fan, 172 00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,200 Speaker 1: got ahold of Elway after the game, and Elway told 173 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,120 Speaker 1: him he said they were just so relentless. So that 174 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,320 Speaker 1: was always big take away. I think that speaks to 175 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:27,319 Speaker 1: what Seattle said all week. And you kept trying to 176 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:29,800 Speaker 1: drill down with that, what are you gonna do differently 177 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:32,760 Speaker 1: against Manning? And they said, We're not going to do 178 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,640 Speaker 1: anything differently. We're gonna do what we do every game 179 00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:37,840 Speaker 1: all season long. When I spoke to Avl, I said, 180 00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:39,960 Speaker 1: you know, up in our press box we talked about 181 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,840 Speaker 1: you as a potential m VP candidate in this game, 182 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:45,240 Speaker 1: but what was it that you did in this game? 183 00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,840 Speaker 1: He said, you know, yes, it was us rushing the pastor, 184 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,840 Speaker 1: but with our secondary locking those receivers down for an 185 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:54,600 Speaker 1: extra second or two, that caused major issues for Manning. 186 00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:57,560 Speaker 1: That's true because a lot of it was it wasn't 187 00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,040 Speaker 1: always immediate pressure and you're used to seeing that it 188 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,040 Speaker 1: out of his hand so quickly, and even when he 189 00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:04,720 Speaker 1: held the ball and he did throw it and he 190 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:07,600 Speaker 1: didn't have a ton of pressure. We have great you know, 191 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,319 Speaker 1: all twenty two vision here at the games. You can 192 00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:12,800 Speaker 1: really see the coverage. There weren't holes for him to 193 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:15,280 Speaker 1: throw it too, and they were all contested pass And 194 00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:18,200 Speaker 1: think about it, it's kind of logically. They have a 195 00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 1: front four push that can get to the quarterback and 196 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:23,280 Speaker 1: they have the best secondary in the league. And if 197 00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:25,559 Speaker 1: you don't establish a running game, which the Broncos never 198 00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:28,600 Speaker 1: came close to doing, then you're not keeping them off balance. 199 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,840 Speaker 1: I mean, it's almost, um, it's almost strange that that 200 00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,600 Speaker 1: so many people picked against the Seahawks when you realized 201 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:36,680 Speaker 1: if they took the Broncos running game out of it, 202 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:38,920 Speaker 1: how vulnerable they were. I mean, it's not like the 203 00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:42,320 Speaker 1: Broncos have a great backfield. Well, I think people thought 204 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:46,360 Speaker 1: Eric Decker to Marius Thomas, West Welker, Juliet Thomas, those 205 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:48,800 Speaker 1: guys could win more one on one battles, and they 206 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:50,400 Speaker 1: did and they didn't. And that's why it was hard 207 00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:53,440 Speaker 1: to give away the m v P. They gave it 208 00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:57,559 Speaker 1: to Malcolm Smith, the backup linebacker who basically trivia question 209 00:10:57,559 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 1: basically cause a lot of people won't remember that one 210 00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,080 Speaker 1: Alis was in the right spot at the right time. 211 00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:04,439 Speaker 1: But it's kind of like in the season the Defensive 212 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:06,640 Speaker 1: Player of the Year Boat got split because there's too 213 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:10,720 Speaker 1: many guys. Chancellor had a big game. The linebackers kJ 214 00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:12,640 Speaker 1: Wright and Bobby Wagner had a big game. You could 215 00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:14,760 Speaker 1: have picked anyone. You could have just picked the Seahawks 216 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:16,280 Speaker 1: defense would have been a lot of why don't we 217 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:18,360 Speaker 1: just go start going outside the box of that? Why 218 00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:20,640 Speaker 1: does it have to be a single guy. Because if 219 00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:23,560 Speaker 1: there was ever a m v P that deserves to 220 00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:26,280 Speaker 1: be given out to an entire unit, was this game 221 00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:29,199 Speaker 1: where no one really jumped out individually on the statuet, 222 00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:32,079 Speaker 1: but it was just a dominating effort from all phases 223 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,440 Speaker 1: of the defense. It was pretty special to watch. I 224 00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,560 Speaker 1: think when we picture Manning's happy feet, we picture pressure. 225 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:41,320 Speaker 1: But like you said, if his first, second, and third 226 00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 1: reads aren't open, even if there's not pressure, he starts 227 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:48,000 Speaker 1: the dance back there. And I think that was noticeable tonight. 228 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:50,360 Speaker 1: They did bring a lot of heat, but he started 229 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:53,240 Speaker 1: the happy feat thing. Hopefully early in the game. And 230 00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:54,920 Speaker 1: I think they also have to give credit to Seal 231 00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:57,319 Speaker 1: for how great they were tackling. The Broncos are a 232 00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:00,120 Speaker 1: very good after catch team, the best spring passed in 233 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:03,520 Speaker 1: the NFL. The shows aren't even better screen Fant's defense team. 234 00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:05,920 Speaker 1: I felt like we knew that Denver was well. They 235 00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:08,640 Speaker 1: were in a lot of trouble right away. But you 236 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:11,719 Speaker 1: if there was any team offensively that could climb out 237 00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:13,760 Speaker 1: of a hole and get hot and get into rhythm. 238 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,560 Speaker 1: But then we saw a couple of plays where Seattle 239 00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:20,199 Speaker 1: had Manning fleeing the pocket and running, you know, fifteen 240 00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:23,720 Speaker 1: yards laterally and throwing you know, passes to nobody. It's 241 00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:27,520 Speaker 1: like they have solved this offer. And why don't we 242 00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:30,679 Speaker 1: talk about Manning a little bit? Because what And I'll 243 00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,920 Speaker 1: start with you, Mark what in your estimation? Actually we'll 244 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:36,520 Speaker 1: start with West because West, you wrote the post up 245 00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:40,280 Speaker 1: tonight about Peyton Manning and what this loss means to 246 00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:44,000 Speaker 1: let's just say it his legacy. West, Well, I think 247 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,800 Speaker 1: he did have a chance today against the great defense 248 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:50,559 Speaker 1: to have a second Super Bowl title, And you would 249 00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:52,400 Speaker 1: have to put him a lot of people would put 250 00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 1: him as the consensus top quarterback of all time. If 251 00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:56,000 Speaker 1: he would have won this game, I think he would 252 00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 1: have been That would have been the big story. There 253 00:12:57,640 --> 00:12:59,520 Speaker 1: would still be a debate, but a lot of a 254 00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:01,920 Speaker 1: lot more people. And I think, now, okay, he's got 255 00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:05,160 Speaker 1: more championship losses than wins. He backed to up sub 256 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:08,400 Speaker 1: five hundred playoff record. I don't think you can say 257 00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:10,000 Speaker 1: he's the best quarterback of all time. He had the 258 00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:12,320 Speaker 1: chance to do that, he didn't. It didn't just lose. 259 00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:15,160 Speaker 1: They scored eight points. I remember, you know my score 260 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:18,400 Speaker 1: I think for the final and you said, what the 261 00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,920 Speaker 1: greatest scoring offense in NFL history is only gonna score thirteen? 262 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:24,200 Speaker 1: They were in single dayes. They they were the jag 263 00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:26,120 Speaker 1: I know they put up over three hundred yards and 264 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:29,400 Speaker 1: the yardage looks close, but with the four turnovers, with 265 00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:32,400 Speaker 1: the final score, they were like the Jaguars or the 266 00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:36,640 Speaker 1: Raiders offense today. That's how good the Seahawks defense is 267 00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:40,240 Speaker 1: is that they made the best scoring offense in NFL 268 00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:44,120 Speaker 1: history basically the Jaguars. It seemed like an accomplishment when 269 00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:46,680 Speaker 1: they took them eight minutes to get fifty yards on 270 00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,560 Speaker 1: a drive and then ultimately ended an interception, But that's 271 00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:52,680 Speaker 1: how hard. It wasn't their longest drive when the game 272 00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:55,520 Speaker 1: was still in reach, ended up in a turnover and 273 00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:57,480 Speaker 1: only went about fifty or sixty yards. I don't think 274 00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:00,760 Speaker 1: it damages his legacy at all. I don't think they 275 00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:06,679 Speaker 1: would have done anything close without him this season at all. Well, look, 276 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 1: I mean this was not I don't want to play 277 00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,319 Speaker 1: the game of Peyton Manning. He did not play well, 278 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:15,120 Speaker 1: but they ran into a buzz song. And I think 279 00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:17,719 Speaker 1: we'll look back and say the Seattle defense and right 280 00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:20,760 Speaker 1: on the shoot, I know Chris Saine Ravens defense much better, 281 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:23,440 Speaker 1: and that's going to be an argument. But the conversation 282 00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:26,120 Speaker 1: about who the greatest quarterback of all time is isn't 283 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:28,680 Speaker 1: over now because Peyton Manning lost the Secret Bowl. I 284 00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:32,440 Speaker 1: think it would be very unfair if people spin this 285 00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:35,560 Speaker 1: into Manning joking, because I agree with that's sort of 286 00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:37,800 Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Do not think he could have done. 287 00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:39,320 Speaker 1: He could have played the best game of his life 288 00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:43,040 Speaker 1: and they went yeah. What will now understand after this 289 00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:45,520 Speaker 1: game is that this was the year that Manning had 290 00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:48,240 Speaker 1: the greatest regular season ever and then just happened to 291 00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:50,600 Speaker 1: go up against one of the best defense. Oh and 292 00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:52,960 Speaker 1: by the way like you know, John Elway looked steamed 293 00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:56,880 Speaker 1: when he walked by Dana and I downs absolutely curious. 294 00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:00,400 Speaker 1: But what quarterback knows better about taking your into a 295 00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:04,040 Speaker 1: Super Bowl? Will you run into a dynasty like And 296 00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:07,120 Speaker 1: there's just nothing you could have done tonight to change 297 00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:11,480 Speaker 1: the narrative. I have never seen Peyton Manning as rattled 298 00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:15,200 Speaker 1: and about to be emotional as he was in the 299 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:19,600 Speaker 1: postgame press conference tonight when someone brought up a question 300 00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:23,040 Speaker 1: and I believe they used the word embarrassed in the question, 301 00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:25,600 Speaker 1: and I'm not sure if they used west Welker's quote 302 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:27,280 Speaker 1: to get into it. Wes Welker said it was an 303 00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:34,320 Speaker 1: embarrassing performances. Yeah, over three very quiet games. Your boy 304 00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:38,840 Speaker 1: Walter Thurman at a night with and Manning started stuttering 305 00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:42,320 Speaker 1: a little bit and he said, I wouldn't call it embarrassment, 306 00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:44,240 Speaker 1: and he said, there's a lot of pros in this 307 00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:47,800 Speaker 1: locker room that worked really hard. And he started you 308 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:49,720 Speaker 1: could see him getting angry, and you could see him 309 00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:53,320 Speaker 1: kind of stuttering and kind of spitting out words, just 310 00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:55,520 Speaker 1: waiting to get to his point. And then finally he 311 00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 1: just said, you know, embarrassment. Frankly, that's an insulting word. 312 00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:01,280 Speaker 1: You know, that is not a word that I would use. 313 00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:03,000 Speaker 1: And he moved down, and it was just it was 314 00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:06,360 Speaker 1: weird to see who Manning always, i mean, Wesselin always 315 00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:09,760 Speaker 1: calls Manning this robot. And for a second there you 316 00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:12,480 Speaker 1: just you just saw it all building up inside of him, 317 00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:14,600 Speaker 1: kind of like you saw in during the game when 318 00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:17,200 Speaker 1: you saw the shots of Eli Manning, how how frustrated 319 00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:20,200 Speaker 1: he was. Manning said, another record, by the way, but 320 00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:24,000 Speaker 1: this is by far the worst record Manning owns. He 321 00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:27,840 Speaker 1: finished thirty four forty nine for two hundred and eighty yards, 322 00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:31,680 Speaker 1: one touchdown, two picks, seventy three point five rating, but 323 00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:34,600 Speaker 1: the thirty four completions are the most by any quarterback 324 00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:37,960 Speaker 1: in Super Bowl history. So that's another record for paying. 325 00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:40,160 Speaker 1: This one is not to marry as Thomas has the 326 00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:44,200 Speaker 1: most reception. Is now too longest pick sixes in Super 327 00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:47,240 Speaker 1: Bowl history that we found out, that's erroneous. We remember 328 00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:50,760 Speaker 1: that James Harrison had a hundred yards current water, but 329 00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:53,920 Speaker 1: where did that stake? It came. It came via Twitter 330 00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:57,960 Speaker 1: and it was this apologies. Two good ones, though, I 331 00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:00,120 Speaker 1: mean two ones I was there for and they were 332 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,600 Speaker 1: exciting plans with the way the NFL works, his pet 333 00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:06,240 Speaker 1: Manning has a chance again next year to change the narrative, 334 00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:10,440 Speaker 1: rewrite history, change what we talked about of his legacy. 335 00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:12,959 Speaker 1: But you also have to think, no, Jean Mario might 336 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:16,960 Speaker 1: not be bad Decker the Bryant, the Broncos fear losing him. 337 00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:22,960 Speaker 1: According to our NFL media insider, you know, after offense, 338 00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:25,160 Speaker 1: that might be the last time we say that in 339 00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:28,680 Speaker 1: the two thousand fourteen season, this offense might not come 340 00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:31,640 Speaker 1: back as high flying as they were this year. Could 341 00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:33,920 Speaker 1: I just say, with all of us standing around the 342 00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,879 Speaker 1: room right now with suits, it's like I'm with Greg 343 00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:41,600 Speaker 1: Gubble Gumble, Kirk Goudy, and I don't know Dan Dierdor, 344 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:44,520 Speaker 1: I'll be Troyanklin. Maybe. I also want to point out 345 00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:47,960 Speaker 1: that it's past one o'clock in the morning and we're 346 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,800 Speaker 1: standing up here delivering the podcast Goods, and this is 347 00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:54,000 Speaker 1: the first podcast we've had since Stitcher gave us their 348 00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:57,360 Speaker 1: Best Podcast of the Year award our best Sports podcast. 349 00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:00,199 Speaker 1: Thank you for voting. Every wants to get caught up 350 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:04,919 Speaker 1: with put a stamp year, But no, that's not what 351 00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:07,040 Speaker 1: this is about. It's about us, and it's about the 352 00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:12,880 Speaker 1: Stitcher coming back to Culver City Champs. So we want 353 00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:14,920 Speaker 1: to thank all of our listeners for who voted for 354 00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:21,800 Speaker 1: So it's it's our legacy and uh, it's the Seahawks legacy. 355 00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:25,439 Speaker 1: I mean, let's talk about where are this defense stacks up? 356 00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:27,879 Speaker 1: Because we talked about it during the week. One of 357 00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:30,119 Speaker 1: these two sides has a chance to kind of be 358 00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,800 Speaker 1: one of those historical teams that you remember, especially if 359 00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:36,000 Speaker 1: they put together a dominant performance. And it doesn't get 360 00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:38,960 Speaker 1: much more dominant than this. I think in the ultimate 361 00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:43,240 Speaker 1: past first League against the ultimate pass first team. I mean, 362 00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:45,440 Speaker 1: they have the big camera, they have the weapon, they 363 00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:48,520 Speaker 1: can stop any passing attack, and I think they're there. 364 00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:51,040 Speaker 1: I think they're there. In that conversation with the five 365 00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:53,399 Speaker 1: Bears and the two thousand Ravens and the two thousand 366 00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:56,639 Speaker 1: two Buccaneers, why not. I think we tend to diminish 367 00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:00,240 Speaker 1: what came a long time ago, and that eighty five 368 00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:03,800 Speaker 1: Bears defense and especially that two thousand Ravens defense. The 369 00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:06,720 Speaker 1: second one is forgotten against the bunch of cup games, Well, 370 00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:09,520 Speaker 1: they did not face this offense in the Super Bowl. 371 00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:12,160 Speaker 1: Let's put it that way. What Seattle did against what 372 00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:16,200 Speaker 1: we've seen Denver do all here is about as impressives 373 00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:18,399 Speaker 1: as in a performance as you could ask for. I 374 00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:20,560 Speaker 1: don't know, but that two thousand of Ravens defense maybe 375 00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:23,880 Speaker 1: still Ravens. That defense is the best I've ever seen. 376 00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,840 Speaker 1: It's better than what everyone thinks the eighty five Bears were. 377 00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:29,080 Speaker 1: The eighty five Bears were dominant, but the Ravens were 378 00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:32,040 Speaker 1: the best I've ever seen. What The Seahawks have an 379 00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:34,400 Speaker 1: advantage on all of these guys, even in the salary 380 00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:37,240 Speaker 1: cap era, the free agency era. They've got a chance 381 00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:39,960 Speaker 1: to keep this going for a few years. Russell Williams, 382 00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:42,879 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson's contract is so low, They've got most of 383 00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:45,080 Speaker 1: these guys on defense are young and coming back and 384 00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:47,919 Speaker 1: don't have a lot of major contract issues. So I 385 00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:53,760 Speaker 1: think this has a chance to be dynasty stop little early. Well, 386 00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:56,320 Speaker 1: by the way we saw tonight, what happens when you 387 00:19:56,400 --> 00:20:00,240 Speaker 1: have a Percy Harvard, the talented too difference maker. Well 388 00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:02,800 Speaker 1: that's assuming that he'll ever really be healthy. But when 389 00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:06,040 Speaker 1: he is, obviously he proved it. Mark Sessler, Mark, you 390 00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:07,960 Speaker 1: know you don't like taking the spotlight a last, but 391 00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:11,080 Speaker 1: let's give it to you. Mark Sessler picked envy big 392 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,879 Speaker 1: Percy Harvin. Yeah, but then the do whoever votes for 393 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:17,120 Speaker 1: this picked a linebacker the note all right, never mind, 394 00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:19,320 Speaker 1: they completely forgot about that. Well we got we got 395 00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:21,640 Speaker 1: fed a rodeous information in this box at one point 396 00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:25,640 Speaker 1: that Percy was right and that was the most texting dancing. 397 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:27,879 Speaker 1: This is a big part of the night's podcast. I 398 00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,280 Speaker 1: know we're gonna have gonna the hands is block up 399 00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:33,040 Speaker 1: front for minutes. But then if we can spell a 400 00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:36,000 Speaker 1: little short five seconds about the Harvard prediction but I 401 00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:39,399 Speaker 1: was wrong? Can I can go ahead? No? God, you 402 00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:42,600 Speaker 1: know it's an awesome, cool prediction about Percy Harvin. It's 403 00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:44,480 Speaker 1: worked out exactly how he thought it went in August 404 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:47,040 Speaker 1: when he underwent hip surgery, that they wouldn't need him 405 00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:50,040 Speaker 1: all year, that he wouldn't because hips charger surgery is 406 00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:53,240 Speaker 1: so major, he probably wouldn't contribute until the playoffs. And 407 00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:56,440 Speaker 1: then I think I wrote exactly this, his biggest contribution 408 00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:58,040 Speaker 1: will come into SUPERO. You know how that was a 409 00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:01,200 Speaker 1: good point. You got two of us to go. That's 410 00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:04,360 Speaker 1: like the que if you're listening at home and you're 411 00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:06,120 Speaker 1: just kind of tune it out, you're in your car, 412 00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:08,520 Speaker 1: someone just you know, path you're not paying at it, 413 00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:11,959 Speaker 1: but you hear them listen up, back it up ten seconds. 414 00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:14,440 Speaker 1: You got some gold right there. Hell rare is he 415 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:17,680 Speaker 1: that he can play forty snaps all year and look 416 00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:21,200 Speaker 1: as absolutely lightning fast as he did today. Thanks not 417 00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:25,119 Speaker 1: every guy. The fronts had no chance of stopping those handoffs. 418 00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:27,840 Speaker 1: He came through so quickly. And you get the credit 419 00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:30,720 Speaker 1: Wilson for having it off so smoothly too. There's they're 420 00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:34,360 Speaker 1: such a fast team that it strikes you being in person, Harvin, 421 00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:37,479 Speaker 1: and then especially the defense, Wagner and Wright are covering 422 00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:41,000 Speaker 1: some brown, Thomas is covering some ground. I mean, they 423 00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:43,320 Speaker 1: have such a fast defense. Real is probably one of 424 00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:45,840 Speaker 1: the fastest defensive ends of them. And like you said, 425 00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:49,080 Speaker 1: they're all staying together. Rap Reports says Bennett will be back. 426 00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:51,080 Speaker 1: They're gonna try to work out, you know, a long 427 00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:54,080 Speaker 1: term deal for Earl Thomas. You know pretty much they 428 00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:56,840 Speaker 1: don't have many big free agents this year. Golden Tate 429 00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:59,439 Speaker 1: is probably the biggest, and they can certainly live without him. 430 00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:01,159 Speaker 1: One thing on harv and I asked him to, like 431 00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:03,560 Speaker 1: a couple of days ago, do you listen, do you 432 00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:05,480 Speaker 1: have us played that they're working on for you. You 433 00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:07,800 Speaker 1: don't tell me what it is, but something special. And 434 00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:09,920 Speaker 1: he laughed and he's like, none, I can't talk to 435 00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:11,240 Speaker 1: you about it, but he was kind of had a 436 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:14,240 Speaker 1: look in his eye. And then we saw that reverse 437 00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:16,280 Speaker 1: right out of the gate and they used it again. 438 00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:18,600 Speaker 1: And I asked Secmill in the locker room, like, listen, 439 00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:20,639 Speaker 1: was that from the start? Did you know that was 440 00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:22,800 Speaker 1: gonna come in? It did early on? He said, yep, 441 00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:24,840 Speaker 1: We've been practicing that all week. And they used to, 442 00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:28,080 Speaker 1: he said, more in the game to deceive Denver and 443 00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:30,120 Speaker 1: throw them off. So even when he didn't get the ball, 444 00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:33,719 Speaker 1: he completely threw Denver's defense softer accidents. Who are these 445 00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:35,600 Speaker 1: people down on the field in the front of us, 446 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:38,760 Speaker 1: like Greig Codd, there's a bunch of it. It's almost 447 00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:41,920 Speaker 1: like there's some type of meeting that and they don't 448 00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:45,280 Speaker 1: know we're here watching it and they're preparing for something 449 00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:47,600 Speaker 1: because it's pretty cold down there now. And nobody that 450 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,120 Speaker 1: seems to be in a run their sponsors or they're 451 00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:52,639 Speaker 1: related to the league, or they worked the game, and 452 00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:55,360 Speaker 1: they're god, I know who they are. They're taking pictures 453 00:22:55,520 --> 00:23:00,920 Speaker 1: their shadowy league figures. We do you think you think 454 00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:03,359 Speaker 1: they don't know that we're watching them. Of course they 455 00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:06,199 Speaker 1: know they're watching us. I'm afraid that one of them 456 00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:07,600 Speaker 1: is all of a sudden, we're gonna look at he's 457 00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:10,800 Speaker 1: gonna have a pair of binoculars pointed right at us. Um, 458 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,960 Speaker 1: we should get down there and take our seventeenth group 459 00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:16,920 Speaker 1: photo of the week on the field. We're gonna have 460 00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:19,719 Speaker 1: like a touching family album by by time I get 461 00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:22,879 Speaker 1: back to California, I just want to rewind back to 462 00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:28,160 Speaker 1: the where the Seahawks defense, Um uh you know comes 463 00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:32,360 Speaker 1: in and turns the ranks and turns Thank you, Mark Suling. 464 00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:35,320 Speaker 1: Literally it is the next day now it is now 465 00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:39,119 Speaker 1: a Super Bowl Monday. Um, when you look at all, right, 466 00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:41,600 Speaker 1: if there, if this is gonna be a big talking NFL, 467 00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:44,840 Speaker 1: am is going to give about ninety minutes every day 468 00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:47,399 Speaker 1: from now until the end of July for this topic. 469 00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:52,480 Speaker 1: Bears be the Patriots led by Greg helped me out 470 00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:56,080 Speaker 1: Tony Easton. Yes, yeah, the two thousand Ravens in the 471 00:23:56,119 --> 00:24:00,359 Speaker 1: Super Bowl. Be the Kerry Collins led New York Yan's 472 00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:02,040 Speaker 1: and not a great New York Giants team. With that, 473 00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:07,320 Speaker 1: this Seahawks team, the greatest offense of all time, led 474 00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:10,040 Speaker 1: by arguably the greatest quarterback of all time to a 475 00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:15,040 Speaker 1: pulp that to me bonus points for the stage that 476 00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:18,160 Speaker 1: I was on and who they beat. I'm just saying 477 00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:20,440 Speaker 1: that they deserve to be in the conversation as number 478 00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:25,879 Speaker 1: one all time. It's a different conversation in terms of 479 00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:28,880 Speaker 1: this Super Bowl number one defense all year. In terms 480 00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:31,280 Speaker 1: of best super Bowl performance there there's some great ones, 481 00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:35,240 Speaker 1: especially early on, but it's right up there if you're 482 00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:37,560 Speaker 1: basing on the whole season. It's a little tougher back 483 00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:40,760 Speaker 1: at least, like it's not like they were a defense 484 00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:42,840 Speaker 1: all year under achieving and then showed up tonight. You 485 00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:44,639 Speaker 1: know they were, but the Ravens had trend dial for 486 00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:47,760 Speaker 1: they had to rescue weekft a week. I mean, there's 487 00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:50,600 Speaker 1: a you know, Seattle is a more balanced team for sure, 488 00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:52,160 Speaker 1: and they have no you can't look at any part 489 00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:55,400 Speaker 1: of Seattle's you know, roster and saying week spot because 490 00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:58,200 Speaker 1: there is a one. But Greg's decided if you want 491 00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:00,520 Speaker 1: to have the best Super Bowl performance by a defense. 492 00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:04,879 Speaker 1: Well's where we've gotten this far. We haven't mentioned the 493 00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:09,200 Speaker 1: second year quarterback who just won his first Super Bowl, 494 00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:13,440 Speaker 1: who has helped represent this sort of new wave of 495 00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:17,399 Speaker 1: quarterbacks that we've been talking about for two years NonStop. 496 00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:20,159 Speaker 1: But Wilson love cap and here he is. He's the 497 00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:22,720 Speaker 1: first one to get a Super Bowl and yet he 498 00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:25,399 Speaker 1: feels a little bit like an afterthought to all this. 499 00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:28,399 Speaker 1: Not that he didn't do his job and play great 500 00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:30,320 Speaker 1: and I thought he had big moments early with the 501 00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:34,280 Speaker 1: third down, but he didn't seem that that high on 502 00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:36,119 Speaker 1: the list of reasons they want. It's crazy that he 503 00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:38,480 Speaker 1: would be an afterwell, and maybe we gave a little 504 00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:42,320 Speaker 1: short trip to West dropped dropping the dynasty word because 505 00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:46,800 Speaker 1: because of his low salary and and the fact that 506 00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:49,560 Speaker 1: they have so many great players around him. This guy 507 00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:52,600 Speaker 1: they have because he was not the star tonight. I mean, 508 00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:55,480 Speaker 1: this was a game or the defense carried the load. 509 00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:58,080 Speaker 1: But he's he's a guy that I think he played 510 00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:00,280 Speaker 1: a great game. Yeah, he sailed to pay, I says 511 00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:02,960 Speaker 1: on the first two drives and then really settled in. 512 00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:05,720 Speaker 1: It makes him outstanding throws and made plays with his 513 00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:07,840 Speaker 1: feet from the beginning of the game. I think he 514 00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:11,200 Speaker 1: has Brady DNA and I think if you if you 515 00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:14,680 Speaker 1: look at the Seahawks, you left Greg but really looking 516 00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:21,720 Speaker 1: roster that you know in a second off the rails, 517 00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:25,639 Speaker 1: if we are off the rails and three. Um no, 518 00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:28,399 Speaker 1: If I'm they're saying that's expensive DNA, you know what 519 00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:31,560 Speaker 1: I'm saying it is. But Russell's DNA is also excellent. 520 00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:34,640 Speaker 1: And no, I think when you have a roster this talented, 521 00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:37,680 Speaker 1: barring injury, I don't see anyway this team isn't right 522 00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:40,480 Speaker 1: back in the mix next year. Um. I think this 523 00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:43,119 Speaker 1: is a team that will have another chance and another 524 00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:46,400 Speaker 1: chance after that to continue to pile up lombardies. There's 525 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:49,479 Speaker 1: a shot here for this team to be the next Patriots. Sorry, Greg, 526 00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:53,600 Speaker 1: the windows closed. There's a lot of great teams the 527 00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:57,280 Speaker 1: window close down. Part of the reason I think we 528 00:26:57,320 --> 00:26:59,879 Speaker 1: won't give that much credit to Wilson is because the 529 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:03,600 Speaker 1: game was so weird. It couldn't have been a bigger 530 00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:05,720 Speaker 1: beat down. In the first quarter a hundred and sixty 531 00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:08,360 Speaker 1: one yards to eleven for Seattle, but it was only 532 00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:11,600 Speaker 1: eight nothing and only six points from the office. Second quarter, 533 00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:16,360 Speaker 1: the Broncos out gained the Seahawks d twelve to eighteen, 534 00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:20,680 Speaker 1: and yet the score was fourteen points for the Seahawks. 535 00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:23,040 Speaker 1: You know, then Harvin gets the kick return, so it's 536 00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:26,840 Speaker 1: basically twenty nine nothing, and Seattle's offense had more or 537 00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:30,680 Speaker 1: less scored six points. They had another touchdown, you know 538 00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:32,760 Speaker 1: that was on a short field, but they had done 539 00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:35,600 Speaker 1: very little to get to twenty nine nothing. Yeah, those 540 00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:39,159 Speaker 1: turnovers were back breakers. And then the person Harvon we 541 00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:41,399 Speaker 1: need to get into John Foxx's coaching a little bit. 542 00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:44,359 Speaker 1: Matt Breaker could kick it out the end zone whatever 543 00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:47,560 Speaker 1: he wants to. So they do a pooch kickoff attempt 544 00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:50,439 Speaker 1: to start the third quarter with the most dangerous kickoff 545 00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:54,960 Speaker 1: returner of the last tight years. Fair well, that's a 546 00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:59,440 Speaker 1: great point not to mention the punt. The punt nothing was, 547 00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:02,200 Speaker 1: you could argue was the most nonsense able point in 548 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:05,200 Speaker 1: the history of football. The challenge early in the game, 549 00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:08,760 Speaker 1: not that it was like why did he challenge that? 550 00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:12,240 Speaker 1: Play little things like first down in twenty and they 551 00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:15,000 Speaker 1: run a play action fake. Who's falling for that? This 552 00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:19,439 Speaker 1: is a team that has zero experienced the season playing 553 00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:22,960 Speaker 1: from behind like that, playing in a situation where they've 554 00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:25,880 Speaker 1: been throttled early with their own mistakes, and not from 555 00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:28,840 Speaker 1: just from a coaching angle. Whatever their game plan was 556 00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:31,200 Speaker 1: was thrown out a loop. Within ten minutes of this 557 00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:33,920 Speaker 1: thing starting. It was the weirdest first six minutes of 558 00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:36,520 Speaker 1: a Super Bowl we've ever seen. But Fox, I mean 559 00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:39,880 Speaker 1: players all the way up to the coaching staff. They've 560 00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:42,840 Speaker 1: been dominating teams all year long. Suddenly they're getting their budgets. 561 00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:46,880 Speaker 1: We like to pretend that, like coaches and GM, they 562 00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:50,560 Speaker 1: construct these teams and they're these masterminds. So I kind 563 00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:53,000 Speaker 1: of like that Carol and Schneider get the Super Bowl 564 00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:55,600 Speaker 1: and not Fox in elway, because they have been building 565 00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:58,360 Speaker 1: to this moment for four years. Whereas it's hard for 566 00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:03,120 Speaker 1: me still to buy Fox as particularly great. I like Fox. 567 00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:05,480 Speaker 1: I think he seems like a really nice guy and 568 00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:07,240 Speaker 1: be cool to drink it here with. But I feel 569 00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:09,560 Speaker 1: like I fell for the banana in the tailpipe. I 570 00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:12,560 Speaker 1: mean he turned back into John Fox. I'll probably never 571 00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:14,480 Speaker 1: be able to forgive it for that. It was one 572 00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:16,200 Speaker 1: of the most stupid things I've ever seen. Can we 573 00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:18,640 Speaker 1: get a banana in the tailpipe drop and then we 574 00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:21,920 Speaker 1: have that? That would be awesome. How do you hunt 575 00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:24,320 Speaker 1: the bolt twenty nine and nothing? You're on the Seahawks 576 00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:28,000 Speaker 1: thirty nine yard line and there's still two full quarters 577 00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:30,840 Speaker 1: to play. I just don't get it. I can't root 578 00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:32,920 Speaker 1: for a guy like I didn't like. I also didn't like. 579 00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:35,160 Speaker 1: Maybe I'm in the minority on this, but I believe 580 00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:38,320 Speaker 1: they were down twenty two nothing, facing a fourth in 581 00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:41,440 Speaker 1: two or a fourth in a long one, and he 582 00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:44,640 Speaker 1: opted to go for it instead of kicking a field 583 00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:46,880 Speaker 1: we'll go up. Maybe would have got him on the board, 584 00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:50,520 Speaker 1: would have you know, maybe dam tammamentum got him some momentum. Instead, 585 00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:53,200 Speaker 1: they call like an out pattern Toto various Thomas that 586 00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:56,240 Speaker 1: had no chance of working. I mean it just it 587 00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:58,640 Speaker 1: had no chance of working because Chris, I think was 588 00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:00,560 Speaker 1: that Clemens or Amra I forget at which one. I 589 00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:02,920 Speaker 1: think it was Clements that time got around the edge 590 00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:05,240 Speaker 1: in a second. I mean that was just kick or 591 00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:08,160 Speaker 1: run the ball or kicked the field goal and feel 592 00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:10,200 Speaker 1: good about yourself a little bit. I just you know, 593 00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:12,000 Speaker 1: I just think it was one of those games. Yes 594 00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:13,920 Speaker 1: that's easily second guest, but it's one of those games 595 00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:16,560 Speaker 1: where almost everything you did went wrong. He was just 596 00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:19,240 Speaker 1: he wasn't the reason they lost, But everybody kind of 597 00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:23,520 Speaker 1: had such a dominant play played by Seattle that had 598 00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:26,160 Speaker 1: they converted that in score, I don't think it would 599 00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:28,479 Speaker 1: have mattered. I'm not sure there's one play. We can 600 00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:31,360 Speaker 1: look at our two plays they got filmed. Let's give 601 00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:35,120 Speaker 1: a little love to the twelfth Man. Not only did 602 00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:38,160 Speaker 1: Seattle just win its first pro championship in any sport 603 00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:41,640 Speaker 1: in more than thirty years, they're an incredible fan base. 604 00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:44,800 Speaker 1: They came out strong here and they're obviously great in Seattle, 605 00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:47,440 Speaker 1: and they had an impact on the game. That first 606 00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:50,640 Speaker 1: play of the game. Sound was a factor. Manny Ramirez 607 00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:53,360 Speaker 1: told you that, right, Manny Ramieress said after the game, 608 00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:55,600 Speaker 1: he said, we were backed up against the end zone 609 00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:59,480 Speaker 1: and we could not hear the step, and it is 610 00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:01,360 Speaker 1: that you did a super Bowl right. It was a 611 00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:04,080 Speaker 1: huge play in the game, just to start it that way, 612 00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:07,000 Speaker 1: Like there must have been a lot of at yourself 613 00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:10,560 Speaker 1: on the back twelve man spincter is getting tightened over 614 00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:14,640 Speaker 1: there on the Procto sideline. And to Sessler's point that 615 00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:17,600 Speaker 1: he's made for months and months now, it was definitely 616 00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:21,640 Speaker 1: we were a little hermetically sealed in this in this 617 00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:25,200 Speaker 1: auxiliary box. But when I stepped outside in the beginning 618 00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:26,640 Speaker 1: of the game just to get a vibe of the place, 619 00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:29,280 Speaker 1: it was the stadium was on fire, it was loud, 620 00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:31,600 Speaker 1: It was a nice in the outdoor venue. It just 621 00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:33,400 Speaker 1: it just fell right in the chill in the air. 622 00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:35,520 Speaker 1: It was a great It was a great spot for 623 00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:38,120 Speaker 1: the super Bowl. And uh, if you as long as 624 00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:40,640 Speaker 1: you're wearing the Secaucus train station trying to get here. 625 00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:44,000 Speaker 1: This this was like a place that handled the super 626 00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:46,720 Speaker 1: Bowl very well. Can I before because I think we 627 00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:49,720 Speaker 1: need to go sleep at some point, because Greg, you 628 00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:51,239 Speaker 1: want us up in the morning. Crank you got more 629 00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:53,840 Speaker 1: high level context. Yeah, I think we need some posts 630 00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:56,600 Speaker 1: in like five hours. Yes, I just want a couple 631 00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:58,719 Speaker 1: of tidbits. When Mark and I were downstairs, I need 632 00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:03,400 Speaker 1: to impart um. Chris Christie walked bias. That was interesting, 633 00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:07,280 Speaker 1: more slender version not yeah, not as road tone as 634 00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:10,080 Speaker 1: I thought he would be. Bill Murray walked bias, and 635 00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:12,800 Speaker 1: it was funny because first Peyton Manny walked bias and 636 00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:16,760 Speaker 1: you said, um Elway looked angry. When man looked walked by, 637 00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:18,880 Speaker 1: it was almost like you look like a truck at him, 638 00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:20,640 Speaker 1: like it was like I can't believe this is what's going. 639 00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:23,640 Speaker 1: And then Bill Murray comes like bounding past us, like 640 00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:25,920 Speaker 1: a goofy grin on his face and like a silly 641 00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:28,640 Speaker 1: jacket on. That was really funny. And then inside the 642 00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:32,040 Speaker 1: locker room, tavirus Jackson, Um, I can't remember who the 643 00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:35,080 Speaker 1: player was an offensive line and goes, hey, t J, 644 00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:38,440 Speaker 1: what ring size you got, And Jackson holds up his 645 00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:40,880 Speaker 1: pinky and he goes, I wanted for this, so t 646 00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:46,240 Speaker 1: J taborish Jackson wants a pinky super Bowl And you 647 00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:49,000 Speaker 1: didn't write that up immediately when you came up as 648 00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:51,600 Speaker 1: their top story. That went on a hold for the 649 00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:55,880 Speaker 1: front page of the website tomorrow morning. Well, let's hear 650 00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:58,720 Speaker 1: about Marshall on Lynch. Oh, yeah, Marshall Lynch or in 651 00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:02,840 Speaker 1: the locker room and this this guy in a all 652 00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:05,520 Speaker 1: red he was wearing a I couldn't even tell who 653 00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:08,920 Speaker 1: it was. He was all red red sweatshirt hood pulled 654 00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:12,560 Speaker 1: over his head, red sweatpants hat and then gold like 655 00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:16,360 Speaker 1: beats by Dre headphones. Goes up to the speakers in 656 00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:18,920 Speaker 1: the locker room and plugs in his iPhone and then 657 00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:21,320 Speaker 1: turns it all the way up. Um, it was an 658 00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:24,120 Speaker 1: Oakland rap artists. And then when he turns around, I 659 00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:26,600 Speaker 1: see it's his beast mode across the front of the sweatshirt. 660 00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:30,720 Speaker 1: It's Marshawn Lynch and he just starts dancing alone to 661 00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:32,920 Speaker 1: this song. He turns the volume all the way up 662 00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:36,720 Speaker 1: to to the point where you had seahawks. Staffer is like, nervously, 663 00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:40,000 Speaker 1: can you ka? It was kind of like it was 664 00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:42,040 Speaker 1: like this. It was like arms are just waving and 665 00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:47,840 Speaker 1: I don't know. I couldn't tell you, Hype, what's that? 666 00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:53,200 Speaker 1: That's like the Oakland rap scene. Wow, we have never 667 00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:57,720 Speaker 1: heard of Bruno Mars or rough Star. But he knows 668 00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:00,960 Speaker 1: that you can's in your pop star. And then he's like, 669 00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:03,720 Speaker 1: IPI it's like really big on the West Coast. E No. 670 00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:06,520 Speaker 1: But he's dancing and he's not thinking. I can't contact 671 00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:10,280 Speaker 1: with Anybody's not calling over any teammates. UM. After dancing 672 00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:12,279 Speaker 1: for a couple of minutes, the song ends and he 673 00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:15,239 Speaker 1: like calmly and quietly never says the words, goes back 674 00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:18,080 Speaker 1: to his iPod, hits play again. That starts the same 675 00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:21,680 Speaker 1: song over again, UM and dances some more and then 676 00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:24,560 Speaker 1: quietly slips away. We're gonna do that right after this 677 00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:30,720 Speaker 1: podcast is over. UM, any any final thoughts from MetLife 678 00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:32,839 Speaker 1: Stadium before we get on the shuttle back to them, 679 00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:34,879 Speaker 1: and that I think we're the wheel mark out of here, 680 00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:36,759 Speaker 1: like we get at Burne's. He's had a rough week. 681 00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:40,239 Speaker 1: That'd be funny and if if if played it out 682 00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:43,200 Speaker 1: that way, we'd like get into some zany adventures together, 683 00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:47,080 Speaker 1: lady friends for West, she'd be a lady friends at 684 00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:50,239 Speaker 1: the bar. There's a woman named Beverly who every time 685 00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:53,320 Speaker 1: we sawn to her by the bar stops us and 686 00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:57,080 Speaker 1: she's like, where's the West had him? And then she 687 00:34:57,239 --> 00:35:00,239 Speaker 1: slipped me her number to give to West last night, guys. 688 00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:04,320 Speaker 1: And apparently I've heard through sources and formed of the 689 00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:08,719 Speaker 1: situation that maybe West will call her very I don't 690 00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:13,040 Speaker 1: I don't know about that. I'm looking forward to packing 691 00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:15,440 Speaker 1: up here. We're almost done. It's one of my favorite 692 00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:18,440 Speaker 1: moments every year. It's kind of walking out of the 693 00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:22,359 Speaker 1: super Bowl stadium and you just feel like the season's over. 694 00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:24,480 Speaker 1: You're happy that the week is over because it's a 695 00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:27,200 Speaker 1: it's a grind of a week. You're kind of happy 696 00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:30,440 Speaker 1: that this is our job. We get to watch football 697 00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:32,719 Speaker 1: for a living. And now it's like, I think, now 698 00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:35,880 Speaker 1: my new favorite moment is one o'clock in the morning. 699 00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:39,280 Speaker 1: The super Bowl is over. We've just crowned the champion, 700 00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:41,840 Speaker 1: and we you know, put an exclamation point on it 701 00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:45,680 Speaker 1: with the Around the League podcast back year next year, 702 00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:49,240 Speaker 1: this super Bowl where we walk out of the stadium 703 00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:53,680 Speaker 1: into a darkened ABYSS parking lot in the middle again, 704 00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:56,760 Speaker 1: here we are in the middle of New Jersey Highway. 705 00:35:57,160 --> 00:35:59,399 Speaker 1: Walking will be the way we get home on foot. 706 00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:01,880 Speaker 1: I've been remiss if I didn't say how much I 707 00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:04,719 Speaker 1: loved my first experience, not only the Super Bowl but 708 00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:08,839 Speaker 1: New York City. What a great city. News. I can 709 00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:10,800 Speaker 1: see why Greg and Dan like it so much. But 710 00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:13,320 Speaker 1: you know I don't always love huge city. You know, 711 00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:15,759 Speaker 1: I lived on an island. It was to bring the 712 00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:17,960 Speaker 1: super Bowl back to New York. It can be the 713 00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:21,080 Speaker 1: one cold weather place. Do it in New Orleans. A 714 00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:24,759 Speaker 1: couple other nice places that can't leave Jersey City out 715 00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:29,360 Speaker 1: of it. There I wrote earlier today, this is like 716 00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:32,320 Speaker 1: fourteen hours ago. I think by now, but uh that 717 00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:37,600 Speaker 1: this was a different like um Bara John Mara said, 718 00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:41,359 Speaker 1: the Giants co owner, that this, this event this week 719 00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:44,719 Speaker 1: shows that other cold weather not dome stadiums. You know, 720 00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:46,800 Speaker 1: it's a good it's a good vouch for them. But 721 00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:49,399 Speaker 1: at the same time, he also said, there's no other 722 00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:53,120 Speaker 1: New York right, Yeah, yeah, there's no way that New 723 00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:55,680 Speaker 1: York is such an outlier. The event was handled so 724 00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:59,000 Speaker 1: well and everything went well. It was a safe everyone 725 00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:00,520 Speaker 1: who was saved. It was well at ended all the 726 00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:02,680 Speaker 1: different events. But at the same time, New York is 727 00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:04,400 Speaker 1: the only city where it could have been. It was, 728 00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:06,560 Speaker 1: you know, on fire and Times Square in the super 729 00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:09,480 Speaker 1: Bowl Boulevard and then you went four blocks away and 730 00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:11,759 Speaker 1: you wouldn't even know super Bowls in town. New York 731 00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:14,480 Speaker 1: was the only city in this country that's bigger than 732 00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:19,440 Speaker 1: the super Bowl. So if you're a good thing, I 733 00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:22,840 Speaker 1: guaranteed John Marrin wasn't walking a mile to the Brancos 734 00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:26,600 Speaker 1: press conference. Every weather and Mara has been to Iowa City, Iowa, 735 00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:33,400 Speaker 1: which is a promising location for I like when the 736 00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:35,200 Speaker 1: city is on fire and the super Bowl is the 737 00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:37,640 Speaker 1: only thing about the city that wasn't the case in 738 00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:39,600 Speaker 1: New York. At the same time, I love New York, 739 00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:41,640 Speaker 1: So yeah, bring it back. They did a good job. 740 00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:45,120 Speaker 1: Hopefully they get lucky with the weather again. Curiously that 741 00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:47,759 Speaker 1: this is this is it for us, but we're not 742 00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:51,759 Speaker 1: We're not going anywhere. We'll be back with another podcast 743 00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:54,400 Speaker 1: later this week, late in the week. We'll let this. 744 00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:56,399 Speaker 1: I thought we were taking off until August. We're gonna 745 00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:59,320 Speaker 1: take We're gonna marinate. But you know what, are we 746 00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:02,000 Speaker 1: gonna beat to Monday? Win today in Fronday, next week, 747 00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:05,480 Speaker 1: not tomorrow. We'll be back to Monday, Wednday. Fright.

We want the spotlights beyond Dan 750 00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:14,160 Speaker 1: for as long as possible. We're gonna we also got 751 00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:16,160 Speaker 1: a factor in the parade that I'm sure is coming, 752 00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:18,200 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna have to take some time off to 753 00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:20,920 Speaker 1: do the media tour and also possibly go to the 754 00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:23,279 Speaker 1: White House. There are there's some things in play right 755 00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:25,160 Speaker 1: now that I assume is going to make my life 756 00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:27,600 Speaker 1: a little busy. We need to recharge. We need to 757 00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:30,160 Speaker 1: let you kind of lose your head for a while, 758 00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:33,480 Speaker 1: learn what it's like to be a celebrity. But I mean, 759 00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:35,880 Speaker 1: how much the season was. Imagine if we didn't have 760 00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:38,880 Speaker 1: this podcast, see it would be great, but it wouldn't 761 00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:41,040 Speaker 1: be I don't It's added so much to our work. 762 00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:44,239 Speaker 1: So we're thankful to everyone listening.

I mean we we don't even 766 00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:54,080 Speaker 1: know what a stitcher is, and we just won the 767 00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:58,480 Speaker 1: Stitcher Award and we're on the iTunes Best thousand. It 768 00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:02,800 Speaker 1: was a wildly successful two season for the podcast, but 769 00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:05,759 Speaker 1: we want more and we will continue to work hard 770 00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:09,359 Speaker 1: to give you high end product next year.
