1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:05,480
Speaker 1: Via Around the NFL Podcast has an open tab at

2
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:13,200
Speaker 1: Huka Poos. Here we are in beautiful San Francisco, California,

3
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:17,000
Speaker 1: the site of Super Bowl fifty. Well Santa Clara, but

4
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:20,400
Speaker 1: here we are the big day. This is Dan Jansas

5
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:23,160
Speaker 1: with the rest of the Around the NFL podcast team.

6
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 1: We have Mark Sessler, Chris Westling, and Greg Rosval and

7
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:30,760
Speaker 1: I have a comments. Make it's up boys, Hey Dan,

8
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:34,200
Speaker 1: what is happening? WHOA? I love that. Well, a little

9
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 1: bit of controversy right off the bat. We had declared

10
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:43,919
Speaker 1: over various forms of social media, texting, slack no jackets

11
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 1: for this show that Dan in the final minute appears

12
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 1: in a jacket. Well, I mean there's a lot of

13
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:53,279
Speaker 1: ways sometimes with Sessler, things in his mind or not

14
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 1: how the society views them at large. I think there

15
00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:00,160
Speaker 1: was a conversation about wearing suits at the super Bowl,

16
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 1: which in the agreement was let's not wear suits. And

17
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 1: I was talking about the podcast now the podcast, I

18
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 1: was not aware that it was a no jacket zone. Well,

19
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 1: our superior just waiting. So who's that we've been waiting.

20
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 1: We've been seeing it. Actually, our boss we see you know, Dan,

21
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 1: he gets the red kin he's now got an endorsement

22
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 1: and sponsor. UM. He's the host. He's just been getting

23
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,320
Speaker 1: a little more now he's making his power move. This

24
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 1: is the move. He's the front man, this is the

25
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:30,400
Speaker 1: this is a big stage. We're literally on the stage

26
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 1: right now, so why not try to look your best.

27
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 1: Maybe you can learn from you guys and if you're

28
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: listening on audio to describe it. I mean, we are

29
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:42,039
Speaker 1: right in the middle of radio row, surrounded by who

30
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 1: some of the big radio and some of the great country.

31
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 1: J Moore is here. I saw Anthony Munos walking by

32
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 1: Tony Muno's Boomera Siasin, a lot of Bengals, Jason Whitlock,

33
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 1: all of them, Mike Florio. It's pretty It's pretty early

34
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 1: in the week, so you know, not a lot of

35
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 1: the guys are coming, but it's eating up. Yeah. So

36
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 1: we got in on Sunday UM as a group, and

37
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 1: it was a little different this year because Media Day,

38
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 1: which used to be on Tuesday morning traditionally, was moved

39
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 1: and turned into a gargantuan prime time The event UH

40
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 1: re christened Super Bowl Opening Night, which was kind of

41
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 1: a weird name. But we attended that on Monday night,

42
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,360
Speaker 1: at the SAP Center, the same place or Greg. Jason

43
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 1: Mraz played to a sold out house in September of

44
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 1: two thousand twelve, one of the classic Morash shows of

45
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 1: all time, and I was amazed when we walked in

46
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 1: we saw the people that had played there, that Jason

47
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 1: Ras could fill up this place because it was huge.

48
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:38,800
Speaker 1: There's a lot of fans there. I'm always a little

49
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 1: confused about the fans at media Night, like what exactly

50
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:43,799
Speaker 1: they're doing, but it was a we had a good time.

51
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 1: We did. I don't know if the fans know when

52
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 1: they go in and what are they expecting and what

53
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:50,959
Speaker 1: I love to do an exit interview with what they experienced.

54
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 1: Was it up to snuff? It's an event? I mean

55
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 1: it is when I did At one point, I did

56
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:58,359
Speaker 1: took a video of just the audience and I thought, oh,

57
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 1: this might be good for my blood. You from the

58
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 1: fifty and here's the vanity of r l NFL dot

59
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 1: com slash view from the fifty. But then I thought, oh,

60
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,359
Speaker 1: shadowy leaf heres might not like the idea of writing about, well,

61
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 1: what kind of fan experiences media Night, So instead we'll

62
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 1: talk about it on a sponsored podcast anyway. So yeah,

63
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,919
Speaker 1: we'll work around. We'll get more into super Bowl opening night.

64
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 1: On today's show, we're gonna talk about some news. There

65
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 1: is some news, and Mark even you couldn't get further

66
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 1: away from the Cleveland Browns than super Bowl week, and

67
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 1: yet we're gonna talk about those big news at quarterback.

68
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: It feels like a suspicious side bet made by the

69
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 1: NFL at my expense. But we'll wait. John. We'll also

70
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 1: play one of our favorite games. What's more likely? Uh,

71
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 1: some super Bowl talk because there is a game at

72
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 1: the end of the week, guys, Panther's Broncos, So we

73
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 1: look forward to that and we're all building towards that day.

74
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 1: This also, by the way, West, is one year ago

75
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 1: last time we did a show from Radio Row where

76
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 1: we are here at the Masconi Center this year. Uh,

77
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 1: you did eat a hideous hot dog contraption with your

78
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 1: own softball pants in them because of of course losing

79
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 1: your Oakland Raiders bad. I think if you're watching out

80
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 1: this was the Browns against Proposition A wow. And if

81
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 1: you're watching on YouTube, you could check out some memories

82
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 1: right now of that special time for West. What did

83
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:27,159
Speaker 1: that hot dog taste like? I like took one bite

84
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 1: tastes like a hot dog tasted a little on the

85
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 1: material side. Here it is. Look, we're a couple of

86
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,600
Speaker 1: watching on YouTube a couple of zippers, some composite parts

87
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,160
Speaker 1: in there. There was composite parts. Look, you're dumping the

88
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 1: old zeuser is dumping it on there. Here's the handoff.

89
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 1: Look at West like a champion. Check that out on

90
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 1: YouTube for a walk down memory lanes. Do you do

91
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 1: any bathroom time extra bathroom time that night? Not to

92
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 1: get too specific, No, it's just normal. Okay, good one comment.

93
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 1: We all look strikingly more handsome a year later trending. Okay,

94
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 1: I like that. So that's just what's coming up on

95
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 1: Thursday's or what's today. I don't even know what to day.

96
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 1: Tuesday edition of the Around the NFL podcast. Uh listen,

97
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:11,360
Speaker 1: it's a little weird when you're trying to do a

98
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:13,720
Speaker 1: show and there's a lot of people milling around and

99
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 1: Rihanna's like blasting in the background at high descibel volume.

100
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 1: None of those people is the old juicer. They just

101
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 1: wished they were. I want to do every podcast with

102
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:24,720
Speaker 1: Rihanna blasting in the background pretty much. I want to

103
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 1: live my life. Yeah. So let's do it. Let's get

104
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:30,480
Speaker 1: to the news because there is a lot of news

105
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 1: to talk about. This offense, a mega you know, and

106
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 1: cape Johnny football, Yes, Johnny football. We can we cannot

107
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 1: avoid Johnny Manziel, who we knew his future was in doubt.

108
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 1: Rap Sheet and rap Report had reported earlier this or

109
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 1: last month that um the new Brown's head coach, Hugh

110
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 1: Jackson had decided he did not want anything to do

111
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:59,159
Speaker 1: with Johnny Manzel, the former first round pick. But now

112
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 1: we have more. Claire already on the issue. Rapp Report

113
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:04,480
Speaker 1: reported Tuesday the team will cut Manzille after the new

114
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 1: league year begins on March nine. Here's a statement, uh

115
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 1: from our friend. You know we love him, ladies and Jim.

116
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 1: For Sashi Brown, We've been clear about expectations for our

117
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 1: players on and off the field. Johnny's continued involvement in

118
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 1: incidents that run counter to those expectations undermines the hard

119
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 1: work of his teammate and the reputation of our organization.

120
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 1: So this is after another domestic incident, Mark and they're

121
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:38,840
Speaker 1: moving on. We knew this is gonna happen, but now

122
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,719
Speaker 1: we have a date when it's gonna happen. Your thoughts, Well,

123
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 1: it's a strong statement, and there haven't been a lot

124
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:46,919
Speaker 1: of strong statements like this by the Browns over the

125
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 1: last twenty years. I like it because what it's saying

126
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 1: is you cannot continue to capsize this organization with your

127
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 1: off field shenanigans. He's got to go get his life right,

128
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:01,159
Speaker 1: and he can go do that on his own, but

129
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 1: not at the expense of one of the thirty two

130
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,600
Speaker 1: teams in the NFL, and certainly not the Browns. It's

131
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 1: not the way this they wanted us to go. But

132
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 1: I think they're they're getting out of it saving some face.

133
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 1: It's a new turn for Cleveland under Hugh Jackson. How

134
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 1: strong can it be? They he forced their hand. To me,

135
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 1: strong would have been during the season. I think a

136
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 1: lot of people, including their former head coach Mike Petton,

137
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 1: would have wanted to cut him a lot sooner. To me,

138
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 1: they reached the point with Manzel incident after incident, he

139
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 1: let them down. He didn't show enough on the field either.

140
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 1: I think if he played outstanding, they might be they

141
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:35,239
Speaker 1: might be more understanding. But it's amazing to think even

142
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 1: since the last time he played, what's happened the Vegas

143
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 1: trip and now incident. It's hard, like we want to

144
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 1: joke about it on some level, but it's a guy

145
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 1: who in the last year has had a couple domestic

146
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 1: incidents and has been in rehap so it's clearly beyond

147
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 1: I mean, he seems like he's sick. And yeah, the

148
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 1: Browns are they're making the right move here, but they've

149
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 1: it's been made easy by Manzel, Like Greg was saying,

150
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 1: I guess my only question mark about this is you

151
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 1: do have one of your Brown's DNA moves, is that

152
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 1: you fear players leaving the team and then becoming great

153
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 1: somewhere else. But we don't even know. And West you

154
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 1: wrote a post about it, uh today on around the

155
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 1: NFL whether you even get a job. It's a social

156
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 1: media story as much as a football story. I think.

157
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 1: If you compare Brett Farve before the Internet age, he

158
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 1: he's quoted as saying I tried to drink at Lanta dry.

159
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 1: Jerry Glanville is quoted as saying I couldn't sober him up,

160
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 1: so I had to send him basically to the NFL's

161
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:33,560
Speaker 1: outpost in Green Bay. Before the Packers were good. Farvan

162
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,719
Speaker 1: ninety one is comfortable in that sense to Johnny Manziel now.

163
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:40,199
Speaker 1: But it's such a social media story. Everything Johnny Manziel

164
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 1: does is tabloid fodder now, and I think in a

165
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 1: different era, the Browns wouldn't be cutting bait with him.

166
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 1: Is he on a NFL roster September one? I think

167
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:53,319
Speaker 1: so yes. I mean September one is an interesting day

168
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:55,680
Speaker 1: to put because that's why it chose it. Could he

169
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:58,680
Speaker 1: be suspended? I mean that's that's possible. Couldn't they? Could

170
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: they wait? Like, we don't know how this off Seaton

171
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:02,080
Speaker 1: is gonna go. I tend to think a team like

172
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,199
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, for instance, is going to give him a

173
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 1: chance to make the team as a as a backup quarterback.

174
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 1: This guy who still looked okay in his starts last year.

175
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 1: He didn't look great, but he didn't look bad either.

176
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:13,320
Speaker 1: Well yeah, yeah, there are reports out there too that

177
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: the interest has dried up because people simply can't trust

178
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 1: this guy, and that you're bringing in much more than

179
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:22,200
Speaker 1: just a developmental quarterback. You're bringing in all the extra tension.

180
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 1: So it's gonna take a team that really was willing

181
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 1: to embrace all that, all the people in Dallas who

182
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,319
Speaker 1: have convinced Jerry Jones not to draft Johnny Manziel are

183
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,320
Speaker 1: still there. I don't know if that's a no brainer

184
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 1: that he's just gonna end up with the Cowboys. I'm

185
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:37,560
Speaker 1: worried about the homeless guy in Cleveland. What Browns manage

186
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 1: might do to that guy. Well, I think can you

187
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 1: take away from the guy that already has he has

188
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,599
Speaker 1: other issues to deal with, probably ahead of this. It

189
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:45,599
Speaker 1: is sad, though, to think about just a couple of

190
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 1: years ago, this clip was brought in a little, a

191
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 1: little hurtfully into our Slack channel. Um that's how we

192
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 1: communicate the youth slack and sign up for Slack today.

193
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 1: Our YouTube channel of Dan hansis you can look it up.

194
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 1: Mark Sessler. We have a video of you a couple

195
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 1: of years ago. We're playing this now. No, no, I'm

196
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 1: just saying that of you getting almost teary eyed and

197
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 1: so excited, like are like just I'm I'm talking seriously

198
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:13,960
Speaker 1: as a fan, like from that moment two years ago

199
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,440
Speaker 1: to now, what I mean, it's telling that I feel

200
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 1: very little about the decision at this point that he's

201
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 1: worn a lot of fans that try there was another

202
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:24,559
Speaker 1: fan that we that Dan famously made famous on another post,

203
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:26,719
Speaker 1: the guy flipping out that in Cleveland, bar I think

204
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 1: a lot of people felt that way. He brought hope,

205
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:30,840
Speaker 1: but now it's the opposite. Tony Gross, he made a

206
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 1: good point. He said that was the highlight of the

207
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:35,200
Speaker 1: Manzel era. That was the peak. Really was was that

208
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 1: hope that day? All right, let's talk about another high

209
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 1: profile player, this guy that actually did something worthy on

210
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 1: a football field in the NFL. His name is Calvin Johnson.

211
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:48,559
Speaker 1: And right when we landed in San Francisco on Sunday,

212
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:51,959
Speaker 1: the report came out from the ESPN that Calvin Johnson

213
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 1: was now telling the Lions that he was not planning

214
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 1: to play in two thousand sixteen, that it was retirement time,

215
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 1: that that he was serious about this. Ian Rappaport reports

216
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:04,320
Speaker 1: Alliance coaches and staff are looking to find a way

217
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 1: to bring him back into the fold. It sounds like

218
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:10,200
Speaker 1: it's a desperation time for a Lions team that's about

219
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 1: to lose another Hall of famer close to his front.

220
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:17,440
Speaker 1: It's crazy that he called the Ford family, you know

221
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 1: who has paid him over these years and thanked him

222
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:22,720
Speaker 1: for everything, and he he said goodbye and told his coaches.

223
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 1: He told some players, including Matthew Stafford, that he planned

224
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 1: to retire. I still think all of this came in

225
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 1: the week after the season, and that's different than actually retiring.

226
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 1: To me, he has not retired yet. Him telling people

227
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:36,440
Speaker 1: that that week is much different than him walking away

228
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 1: from the money. It's fascinating how the story has turned

229
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:41,079
Speaker 1: from the lines will probably ask him to take a

230
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,959
Speaker 1: pay cut to now begging him to try to come back.

231
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:46,839
Speaker 1: So he's managed to change that narrative a little bit.

232
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:49,200
Speaker 1: But it was interesting. I talked to Nate Burlston in

233
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 1: the hallway a couple of weeks ago, an a good

234
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:58,080
Speaker 1: friend of Calvin Johnson. And take this seriously because Calvin

235
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 1: Johnson doesn't eat, sleep, and rank football like everyone else,

236
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 1: and he doesn't want to play if he's not the

237
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:06,959
Speaker 1: most dominant wide receiver on the field. That's important to him,

238
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:10,560
Speaker 1: and he really hasn't been. Uh it's injuries related in

239
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 1: base but he early hasn't been the same level of

240
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,559
Speaker 1: dominance since that incredible season. What was in two thousand

241
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 1: eleven or twelve when he set the catch record? I

242
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,679
Speaker 1: mean he's still what a top ten receiver but if

243
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 1: he needs to be the number one guy, I think

244
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 1: people have passed him. Yeah. I mean when this first

245
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:30,440
Speaker 1: came out at the near the end of the season,

246
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 1: I was I didn't buy a word of it. I thought,

247
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 1: this is just a frustrated player and there's a lot

248
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 1: to be sorted out. It's getting close to the point

249
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 1: where what Nate Burlison says carries a lot of weight,

250
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:43,320
Speaker 1: because if he doesn't really put football number one in

251
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 1: his life, then you're at that age where why not

252
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 1: leave and have a wonderful career to look back on.

253
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:51,320
Speaker 1: Very few players in NFL history have made more money

254
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 1: in their first what the ten or eleven years now,

255
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:57,079
Speaker 1: then Calvin Johnson has. He He caught the tail end

256
00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 1: of the top of that salary cap money when you

257
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 1: were drafting, and in his contract he's been by far

258
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 1: the highest plaid player. I just realized, guys, and this

259
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 1: is important that I gave a nice shout out to

260
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:10,200
Speaker 1: Slack Redkin got a nice pop. But really, when it

261
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 1: comes down to it, Mark, do you like money? Oh okay,

262
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 1: here's a question attentions. Do you want more money? Well,

263
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:23,200
Speaker 1: you better sign up with Scott good buddy. Minds Scott Trade.

264
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:27,200
Speaker 1: Getting that I would just like some money. Well, Calvin

265
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 1: Johnson should be going to Scott Trade. He you know,

266
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:31,200
Speaker 1: he doesn't have to do anything the rest of his life.

267
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:33,560
Speaker 1: He just goes to Scott and he takes care of it.

268
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:36,839
Speaker 1: If you want to make large sums of money investing

269
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 1: Scott Trade. All right, let's move on. We think Calvin

270
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 1: Johnson could be retiring. But one guy we know is

271
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:47,320
Speaker 1: retiring is Justin Tuck. The long time Giants uh pass

272
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 1: rusher announced his retirement from the NFL on Monday. Here's

273
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 1: this quote. After months of praying and careful consideration, I

274
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 1: have decided to retire from the game of football. I've

275
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 1: had eleven great years, and honestly I leave with very

276
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 1: few regrets. Uh And he shouldn't leave with any regrets.

277
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 1: He won two Super Bowls with the Giants, was one

278
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 1: of the lynch pins of that defense that beat the

279
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 1: Patriots twice, the New England Patriots, Greg and uh, you know,

280
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:11,839
Speaker 1: I had some nice years, was all Pro one year

281
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:13,960
Speaker 1: once the Raiders have made a ton of dough and

282
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,080
Speaker 1: now he's gone west. How will you remember Justin Tuck

283
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 1: the player? Well, I remember the regret that he should have.

284
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 1: Eli Manning's got both of his Super Bowl m V

285
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 1: peat trophies. That's a good call. He definitely could have

286
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 1: gotten one. And he's someone I think, having lived in

287
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 1: New York for pretty much his whole career. In New York,

288
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 1: he's a legend there like some of the He's not

289
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 1: gonna make the Hall of Fame day that the Hall

290
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 1: of Fame when he retires, But you guys know, guys

291
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 1: that are kind of city guys, their legends in their town.

292
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 1: They'll always be known sort of as true members of

293
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 1: that team. And to me, Justin Tuck is the Giants

294
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 1: like he almost more than anyone, but maybe Eli Manning

295
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 1: defines that era, maybe even more than Michael Strahan. You

296
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 1: think of Dustin Tuck, well, I mean that I'll never forget.

297
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 1: Before that Giants Patriots super Bowl, when Gil Brand GM

298
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 1: Cowboys been around for ever, came up. We asked him

299
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 1: who's gonna win this game? And he said it's the

300
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 1: Giants and it's not Eli Manning. It is the pass rush.

301
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 1: And they put a hurt on Tom Brady in that

302
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 1: second Super Bowl. I mean, they really were very good defensively.

303
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 1: I know we like to I mean he spent most

304
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 1: of his career with the Giants, and that's where everything

305
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 1: important happened in his career. But we've kind of ripped

306
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 1: on Reggie Mackenzie, at least I have over the years.

307
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 1: And I think it's pretty neat that he brought in

308
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 1: Charles Woodson and Justin Tuck to transition them from a

309
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 1: really young, bad team to a team that's on the

310
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 1: brink now possibly making a playoff run. And I think

311
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 1: Justin Tuck and Charles Woodson were important to them. And

312
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 1: Connor Or, who's has a good relationship with Justin Tuck,

313
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 1: laid it out that Justin Tuck's been working at a

314
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 1: hedge fund for multiple of years already. This is not

315
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 1: why doesn't he work at Scott Trade? He should? He

316
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 1: should work at Scott Trade, but trade so much because

317
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 1: you can make a lot of money investing with that business.

318
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 1: Why would you not work there if you had that

319
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 1: skill set? Exactly? Yeah, it's a no brainer. Uh yeah, alright,

320
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 1: So moving on, guys, Really good work, guys. I mean

321
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 1: we're gonna get a call from Scottis like, guys, killed

322
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 1: it again. Nice job. We should touch on this. This

323
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 1: is a little bit dusty as a news item, but

324
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:12,520
Speaker 1: we've been out of the rotation for a few days.

325
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 1: The Chargers have announced that they will stay in San

326
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:19,040
Speaker 1: Diego for at least the two thousand sixteen season. They're

327
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 1: trying to work out this situation in the city. Um

328
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 1: there's still, you know, a lot of arrows pointing to

329
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 1: them ending up playing in Inglewood with the Rams in

330
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 1: Los Angeles, perhaps as soon as next year. But they're

331
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 1: going back to San Diego, uh, creating obviously a strange

332
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 1: situation for both the city and the players and the organization.

333
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:42,680
Speaker 1: But maybe if I'm listen, if I'm a fan in

334
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 1: San Diego Chargers fan, I look at it as good

335
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 1: news because that means there's still a chance you're right.

336
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 1: But it's such a strange situation. How are they going

337
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 1: to react? They didn't show up to the games last year?

338
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 1: Are they gonna show up more now that they've already

339
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 1: got one ft out the door. You would hope they

340
00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 1: can figure it out because they belong in San Diego,

341
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:02,320
Speaker 1: but they did not have much of a choice. What

342
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 1: were they gonna do for two thousand sixteen? No one

343
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 1: really It's not like the stadium that the Rams are

344
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 1: building is gonna be is ready anytime soon. So you

345
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 1: would have had to figure out a place for the

346
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 1: Rams to play presumably it's the Colisseum, and a place

347
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:17,359
Speaker 1: for the Chargers to play. It would have been it

348
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 1: would have been a mess. They didn't have much of

349
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 1: a choice. I mean, I feel for this fan base

350
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 1: a lot, because you've got players challenging them to come

351
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:26,719
Speaker 1: to games next season and that, and that's fine if

352
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 1: you're a player, but if you're a fan, you have

353
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 1: to just feel stuck in limbo in the middle here.

354
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:33,439
Speaker 1: This is we pointed this out before. This is a

355
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 1: franchise that has been in San Diego for over fifty years,

356
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:38,680
Speaker 1: longer than the Browns were in Cleveland when they moved

357
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:41,879
Speaker 1: to Baltimore and became the Ravens. The NFL wants this

358
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 1: team to stay in San Diego in a new stadium.

359
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 1: Dean Spanos wants a new stadium in San Diego. They

360
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 1: just have to work with the city to make it

361
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 1: work well. Then build it like that is an option

362
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:56,399
Speaker 1: you're an NFL owner, It's it's a great business. Build

363
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:58,359
Speaker 1: it or find someone that can let me give a

364
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 1: kind of a little happier version, because you do get

365
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:07,399
Speaker 1: your team, and there is hope Stendy charges Sunday up

366
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:13,480
Speaker 1: super charges that should keep them going for at least

367
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:16,879
Speaker 1: another season. I wish we had a t d Is

368
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:20,399
Speaker 1: so cam Our, our longtime producer. Of course, td Is

369
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:22,680
Speaker 1: is helping us out. He's near the city on the ones.

370
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 1: And the look, the look of horror on his face

371
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 1: when Dan started singing that song, what is that guy doing?

372
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:31,119
Speaker 1: He's like, either way, we don't need to do that.

373
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:37,719
Speaker 1: So there is look at him, handsome man. All right,

374
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 1: that's what's happening in the news today. One thing I'll

375
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:42,960
Speaker 1: also missed about justin Tuck by the way, one of

376
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 1: the more middling subway sponsorships of all time featured a

377
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 1: late period past past the Prime r G three. I

378
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 1: think there was like a raoul A Legray was maybe

379
00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:58,040
Speaker 1: in the in the well you're you're burying the lead,

380
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 1: But yes, those were all problematic spawn who was Why

381
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:04,440
Speaker 1: am I burying Lee? There's another sponsor we don't want

382
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:09,200
Speaker 1: to talk about right now. It was a disaster. So okay,

383
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 1: all right, that's it. So now let's get into Super

384
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:16,720
Speaker 1: Bowl Opening night, which took place at, like I said,

385
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 1: Jason Mraz, the place that Basically, it's his home away

386
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:22,720
Speaker 1: from home, Shark Country, the SAP Center or maybe the

387
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 1: SAP Center, don't know what the denizens of San Jose

388
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:29,520
Speaker 1: refer to their arenas, but it's a nice facility and

389
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:33,680
Speaker 1: it was the home of you remember somehow super Bowl

390
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 1: Opening night made all past media days and this is

391
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 1: the fifth one that we've covered, and Mark and I

392
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 1: have covered. Uh, this is the fifth one now and

393
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:46,399
Speaker 1: this everything else looks humble in retrospect. Oh yeah, this

394
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 1: this took it to a whole new level. I mean

395
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 1: it started off by having to drive around a hundred

396
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 1: and twenty minutes to get to it, but it was

397
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 1: worth the weight. It was. It was I was the

398
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:58,720
Speaker 1: best organized of them all in my opinion, and it

399
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 1: was the least chaotic. That's my take, and that's what

400
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 1: I'm looking for. Less chaos, better organization. Don't be smirched

401
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:07,919
Speaker 1: that bus ride. I got a whole minute conversation with

402
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 1: Dan about the O. J. Simpson mini series. I'm so

403
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:12,960
Speaker 1: excited about it. I asked my wife Emily to DVR it.

404
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:14,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna rip through that when I get home.

405
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 1: Before we really start talking about the events of media

406
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 1: night and what happened today Tuesday, though, it's time to

407
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 1: bring on. We call her a friend of the show.

408
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:28,920
Speaker 1: Some people call her Connie fox Um. We call her

409
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:34,120
Speaker 1: somebody that we could trust, a real hero herself, and

410
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 1: she's making her way towards us right now. Oh my goodness,

411
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:41,440
Speaker 1: Colleen wool sits with us, and this will be the

412
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 1: as you sit down in the white chair next to

413
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:48,679
Speaker 1: Mark Sessa. I wish we had an awkward issochama? So

414
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:52,359
Speaker 1: I missed the entire podcast so far because I was

415
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 1: just talking to two listeners and they were so excited

416
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:58,639
Speaker 1: that you guys are here and love you guys. And

417
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 1: it's Robert and Andrew and Robert I wanted to tell

418
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 1: the old suser that the wolf Pack is coming for

419
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 1: his job. I don't know. I'm just saying that happened,

420
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 1: so Allen. Colleen's you know, this maybe her final time

421
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:17,160
Speaker 1: on the show, depending on how truly threatened I am

422
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:20,440
Speaker 1: with her abilities as a host. But so we got

423
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:23,479
Speaker 1: fans here. Whose are the gentleman at the restaurant on

Speaker 1: Sunday night? Oh yeah, the Somalia at umtanted door. He

425
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:31,720
Speaker 1: was This has been the best week of Dan's life

426
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:35,160
Speaker 1: because he measures weeks of his life based on how

427
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:38,520
Speaker 1: many people have come up and recognized him independently. So

428
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:40,919
Speaker 1: for the first thirty thirty three years, they were all

429
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:44,960
Speaker 1: bad weeks. Lately that there's four or five people just

430
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 1: coming up to you that tops him being recognized by

431
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 1: his newborn son. I was checking the name Joe, Joe,

432
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:58,919
Speaker 1: the live guy, the slanted door. We talked to him.

433
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 1: We've talked to some their listeners. I don't remember that

434
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 1: part of the night. So yeah, So yeah, Colleen, welcome

439
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:20,600
Speaker 1: super Bowl City. So there's been concerts and mariachi bands

440
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 1: and there was like a step show of some sort

441
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 1: I think earlier, and that's separate from where we are

442
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:27,760
Speaker 1: right now. It's very confusing. Colleen. Here's the awkward ice

443
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 1: ocam if you're watching on YouTube. Awesome. It's so great

444
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 1: to be here. It never gets less off. So let's

445
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 1: talk about if you don't mind, Colleen, and we're you're

446
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:37,879
Speaker 1: gonna sit in with us the rest of the show.

447
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:40,720
Speaker 1: Maybe join us for a little what's more likely, Maybe

448
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:42,720
Speaker 1: think one up in your mind. Okay, all right, okay,

449
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:45,160
Speaker 1: I can do that. But let's talk about Let's start

450
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 1: with Peyton Manning because that's the story this week. That

451
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:51,680
Speaker 1: is the big story. Last year was the flake Gate

452
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 1: and will Marshawn Lynch talk and it is Tom Brady

453
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:57,399
Speaker 1: the greatest quarterback ever if he wins blah blah blah blah.

454
00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 1: This year, it's kind of a singular storyline. The end

455
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:03,399
Speaker 1: of the road for Peyton most likely. UH rap Sheet

456
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:06,879
Speaker 1: reported this week that he's been telling close friends he

457
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:09,919
Speaker 1: expects to retire, and uh, Colleen will start with you

458
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:12,399
Speaker 1: on this. The fact that he is, he's letting it

459
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:14,840
Speaker 1: draw out. It is probably the smart move because if

460
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:18,439
Speaker 1: he said, like on Sunday, I'm retiring this, we wouldn't

461
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:20,199
Speaker 1: even be thinking about the game. That would be all

462
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:22,679
Speaker 1: anybody with you talking about Yeah, so it actually like,

463
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:25,440
Speaker 1: thank you Peyton for drawing this out so we would

464
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 1: don't have to do that. I know, I know, and

465
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 1: I like that. He was like, I guess it's all

466
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:31,720
Speaker 1: summing from his comments about how this might be his

467
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 1: last rodeo to Bill Belichick after the game. But last

468
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 1: night at media night, when he was like, no, I

469
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:40,440
Speaker 1: meant that I might join the rodeo, I've been you

470
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:47,160
Speaker 1: got it all wrong, totally serious. Well, he's a hilarious gentleman. Yeah,

471
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:50,160
Speaker 1: you know he is. But I mean this is if

472
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 1: I think he is Obviously I think he's going to retire,

473
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 1: don't you go well, hold on, I mean, if they

474
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 1: win this game, he is insane to come back. This

475
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 1: athlete in the NFL would dream the dream way to

476
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:05,959
Speaker 1: go out would be a guy that's been doubted heavily.

477
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:09,440
Speaker 1: This kind of a season, I mean the foot it'd

478
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:10,879
Speaker 1: be one of the best. It would be one of

479
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:14,120
Speaker 1: the best endings ever written in football history. It even

480
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 1: topped John Elway just because of the way this season

481
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:20,160
Speaker 1: has played out for Peyton Manning. And we were at

482
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:23,720
Speaker 1: the bar last night and Ian was there, NFL media

483
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:26,120
Speaker 1: insider and other reporters, and they're like, this is such

484
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:29,399
Speaker 1: a quiet week, you know, there's really no stories. And

485
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:33,159
Speaker 1: I'm like, literally, one of the best players of all time,

486
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:36,679
Speaker 1: who was benched just three three weeks ago, could go

487
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:39,120
Speaker 1: out with the Super Bowl title, Like, it doesn't really

488
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:42,360
Speaker 1: get much bigger. You know, by the way, if they win,

489
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 1: he's retiring that night. I mean, there's no way he's

490
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 1: not gonna like he's gonna announce his retirement after seventeen

491
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 1: victory where he throws a touchdown late and we will

492
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:54,919
Speaker 1: be writing posts for four straight days from that stated

493
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 1: podcast will start at three a MTD. You don't think

494
00:24:57,800 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 1: he's in a little bit of a denial and holding

495
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:01,480
Speaker 1: out hope that he finds a fountain of youth. He

496
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:05,480
Speaker 1: referenced that exact quote. What you know, Belichick's gonna coach

497
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 1: till he's ninety, Brady's gonna play until he's seventy, And

498
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 1: what if I find the fountain of youth and played

499
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:12,119
Speaker 1: ten more years. I'm sure it was just a quip,

500
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:14,399
Speaker 1: but in the back of an athlete's mind, if his

501
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:17,119
Speaker 1: body feels better, maybe he doesn't want to retain. I

502
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 1: feel like he already found that fountain though. I mean

503
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 1: he's been oh yeah, he's been okay in the playoffs,

504
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:26,440
Speaker 1: and that's a big step up the last year the

505
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:28,360
Speaker 1: year before that. I mean, how I mean, how old

506
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:30,159
Speaker 1: is he now? He has stretched this out longer than

507
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:32,159
Speaker 1: we could have ever imagined. He had one of the

508
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 1: greatest offenses ever a couple of years ago, and they

509
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:37,200
Speaker 1: made the Super Bowl. You only score eight points with them.

510
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:39,960
Speaker 1: The question we've been talking, I've been talking about if

511
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:42,200
Speaker 1: they lose, Willie retire at that night, because I don't

512
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 1: think there's any question that he's retiring. I really don't.

513
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:47,480
Speaker 1: I just I'm really concerned for me and for us

514
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 1: whether we're gonna have to write it that night. And

515
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 1: there's a Panthers fan, David Alee in our office that's

516
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 1: worried they're gonna the Panthers will win, but then Manning

517
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:58,520
Speaker 1: will outsige them by retiring after a loss, which is

518
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 1: a stupid thing. The word that it's the most Panthers

519
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:03,520
Speaker 1: narrative ever, that they believe they've been overshadowed after winning

520
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl by a player resired. Well, what's the

521
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:12,160
Speaker 1: best scenario for us? And Manning says, nothing to ten.

522
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:14,920
Speaker 1: It's like thirty to zero at halftime, when we're already

523
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:17,240
Speaker 1: in the locker room writing you know quotes one of

524
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:20,159
Speaker 1: the uh I spoke with Brock Osweiler and Mark you have,

525
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 1: from what I understand, an all time feature coming up.

526
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:28,320
Speaker 1: Somebody writes a feature that gets passed around the Internet,

527
00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:30,400
Speaker 1: and it's like, this is just tremendous work that's coming

528
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:33,160
Speaker 1: from you on Brock Osweiler later to this week, correct, Yeah,

529
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 1: largely called from Pool reports. So it's not gonna be

530
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:39,360
Speaker 1: cutting edge information, but you're gonna want to read it. Well.

531
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 1: I supposed to Brock briefly at media night and he,

532
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:47,399
Speaker 1: I mean, it's literally my job there, and you know,

533
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:49,440
Speaker 1: this is what he's dealing with. He's in the Alex

534
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 1: Smith situation of a couple of years after when Colin

535
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 1: Kaepernick stolege job and went to the Super Bowl. And he,

536
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 1: I mean he first of all, handsome devil. I mean,

537
00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:03,560
Speaker 1: we're talking top five of the NFL right now, importantly,

538
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:08,680
Speaker 1: less importantly, little too tall. Maybe this is what he's

539
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:11,240
Speaker 1: dealing with. He's answering all the questions all the right way,

540
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:14,199
Speaker 1: but he's also getting guys coming up to him. And

541
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 1: this is a real question. He got a report goes, so,

542
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:20,920
Speaker 1: you know Peyton and the you know nationwide commercials, would

543
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:23,679
Speaker 1: you mind doing like a nationwide song singing about Peyton

544
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:27,400
Speaker 1: and the guy? And Brock was like, I just want

545
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:30,199
Speaker 1: to talk about football. He used that, like I was.

546
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:33,679
Speaker 1: I was huddled around him trying to get well. I

547
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:36,160
Speaker 1: think one thing, when you're sitting in a quarterback room

548
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:39,200
Speaker 1: with Peyton manning for three plus years, he is one

549
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 1: of the more media savvy players we run into all week.

550
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:44,879
Speaker 1: A little too media maybe a little to media savvy.

551
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:47,840
Speaker 1: I mean, he's very polished and he couldn't be happier

552
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:51,439
Speaker 1: about just being here. I mean, he doesn't seem if

553
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 1: he's hiding it. He's a great actor. I really don't

554
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:55,600
Speaker 1: think he is. He doesn't seem bitter at all about

555
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:57,760
Speaker 1: the fate and what he went through this season. Well,

556
00:27:57,800 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 1: I mean think about it, when he was benched. Did

557
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 1: anybody think that with the way that he was playing,

558
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 1: and I mean what he had four turnovers, four interceptions

559
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 1: in that game that he was benched, he would be

560
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:12,719
Speaker 1: here this week with Peyton literally behind uh Dan hansis

561
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 1: right now, right literally, no one would believe a week

562
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 1: and a half ago that he would be here. No

563
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:23,560
Speaker 1: one on the set even picked them to be the Patriots.

564
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 1: I mean this all picked them to almost beat the page.

565
00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 1: This only happened because got C J. Anderson fumbled against

566
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:33,159
Speaker 1: the Chargers. The whole thing is bizarre that broadcast Sweller

567
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:35,560
Speaker 1: got bench during what was a fine game for Brockat

568
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:37,720
Speaker 1: a little. It sounds a little bitter, a little thrown,

569
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 1: a sleeves thrown of the agony, thrown of apocalypse, even

570
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:43,800
Speaker 1: the way you even described that that's the way football works.

571
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:46,640
Speaker 1: Did you ever hear the tuck rule? Sometimes stuff happens

572
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 1: in the NFL? Greg, your thoughts, I'm okay with all right.

573
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 1: Let's talk about other news from media night, and uh, Greg,

574
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:55,960
Speaker 1: you wrote a piece. Uh we are a I don't

575
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:57,840
Speaker 1: know if this happens a lot, but it seems, especially

576
00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:01,200
Speaker 1: on the grid this year, we got to teams battling,

577
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:05,479
Speaker 1: both pulling that nobody respects us card. When two teams

578
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 1: both claim no respect, is there any respect given either way?

579
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:13,479
Speaker 1: What does it all mean? And they both are talking

580
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:16,760
Speaker 1: that they are the underdogs no one believed in. Chris

581
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:19,840
Speaker 1: Harris said it we deserve more respect. Brandon Marshall said,

582
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:22,560
Speaker 1: no one's paying attention to them. This is the number

583
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:25,680
Speaker 1: one seed of each conference, literally the best team in

584
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 1: each conference all season long. And I think the Panthers

585
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:32,440
Speaker 1: especially are confused with what to do now because they

586
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 1: realize in their heart of hearts they're seventeen and one.

587
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:38,400
Speaker 1: Everyone expects them to win the game. I was. I

588
00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:40,960
Speaker 1: was next to Luke Kickley when they asked him the

589
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:43,080
Speaker 1: question about it, and they said, well, what do you

590
00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:45,240
Speaker 1: do now. You've been saying you're the underdog all year,

591
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:46,959
Speaker 1: but now now you're the favorite. And he just he

592
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 1: honestly just got a blank look on his face and

593
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:51,720
Speaker 1: he just said something to the effect of, well, it's

594
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:53,960
Speaker 1: a football game. We have to try the hardest we could.

595
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 1: It was like it totally scrambled his brain. Side though.

596
00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:00,560
Speaker 1: Dan Hansis just had to stop himself for dancing to

597
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 1: call me maybe I saw that. I am a big

598
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:10,360
Speaker 1: time Carly ray Jepson fan. People love them her latest album,

599
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:13,480
Speaker 1: Most Respects, he should be getting a little more tremendous.

600
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:17,680
Speaker 1: Everybody should check it out. Um, yeah, so that's going on.

601
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:20,480
Speaker 1: No respect. By the way, if you're seventeen and one,

602
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 1: you cannot pull that card. Carly ray Jepson doesn't get

603
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:27,160
Speaker 1: the respect she deserves because she's a Canadian pop star

604
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:29,200
Speaker 1: and for some reason she's being viewed as a one

605
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 1: hit wonder, even though she's got plenty of hints. Countada

606
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:34,400
Speaker 1: chime in on this. Well, let's get the train back

607
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:40,320
Speaker 1: on the track. I've never seen West look more confused.

608
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:43,840
Speaker 1: West is upset by the way because four people try

609
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:46,160
Speaker 1: to help him. We got three jackets given to us

610
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:50,040
Speaker 1: Super Bowl fifty jackets by Rog and He's like, oh,

611
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:52,120
Speaker 1: where can I get these jackets? So I was like, oh,

612
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 1: let's try to help West. But because and he then

613
00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:59,600
Speaker 1: came back in a in a huffy mood because the

614
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 1: directs weren't good enough. It's like, how does that work? Well? Wait,

615
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:04,400
Speaker 1: hold on, there was some spin cycle here because he

616
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:07,120
Speaker 1: was trying to help three people by getting jackets from

617
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 1: multiple team members. Spin here, buddy, That's not how it

618
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:13,680
Speaker 1: went down. Dan Our text chain rings off the hook

619
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 1: all day long, and it goes goes ship quiet for

620
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:18,960
Speaker 1: like an eight hour period. After I ask for directions

621
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 1: on where to go, and then I get two different directions,

622
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:23,960
Speaker 1: none of which are true, so I have to stumble

623
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:26,640
Speaker 1: around the hotel room all afternoon and then Gregg puts

624
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 1: me on blast. So it was a bad after It's

625
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 1: one of those things. West fascinating guy, jovial guy, usually

626
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:36,120
Speaker 1: always in good spirits, a great bar guy to hang

627
00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 1: out with, a great but certain things get him angry,

628
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:42,080
Speaker 1: like when we're in the podcast studio and the wire

629
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:45,400
Speaker 1: from the headphones crosses over his shoulder. He turns into

630
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:48,000
Speaker 1: the incredible Hulk. And the jacket thing was another thing.

631
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:51,760
Speaker 1: I'm over the jacket thing. Like we're at the point

632
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:53,880
Speaker 1: in the show where like fift percent of it is

633
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:57,760
Speaker 1: airing grievances against each other. That's what this podcast is about.

634
00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:02,040
Speaker 1: Let's get back to football, Thomas Davis. This doesn't sound right.

635
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:04,240
Speaker 1: This doesn't pass the sniff test for the old. Zeusler

636
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 1: broke his forearm uh in the NFC Championship game, literally

637
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:11,840
Speaker 1: broke his arm, had surgery the next day. Now he's

638
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:14,880
Speaker 1: back at practice like nine days later, eight days later.

639
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:18,800
Speaker 1: Science is amazing. I am not a doctor. I would

640
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:20,840
Speaker 1: like to be a doctor. I'm not a doctor. But

641
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:23,560
Speaker 1: he's probably gonna break his arm again, yes or no, Greg,

642
00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:26,920
Speaker 1: he said he's feeling no pain. He very the thing,

643
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:28,719
Speaker 1: which was strange standing next to him. He has no

644
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:31,600
Speaker 1: major cast on it or anything, so maybe it really

645
00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:36,760
Speaker 1: was just a bone in his arms. I heard him

646
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 1: say opening night. I have free flowing use of my

647
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:45,480
Speaker 1: hand and wrist. It's not a big deal. How important

648
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 1: is he well, I think of in the last three years,

649
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:53,440
Speaker 1: he's been just and just a notch below Luke Keekley,

650
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:56,200
Speaker 1: who gets all the Defensive Player of the Year pub.

651
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:58,480
Speaker 1: But Thomas Davis has been Pro Bowl caliber for three

652
00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:01,400
Speaker 1: straight years. Well, and he early this year. I don't

653
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:03,480
Speaker 1: think he was having a great season. He was the

654
00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:06,160
Speaker 1: best defensive player on the field in the NFC Championship

655
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:10,000
Speaker 1: until he had this injury. He was even after the injury. Well,

656
00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:14,400
Speaker 1: I don't know the game, but he in a in

657
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:17,240
Speaker 1: a game where they dominated, Thomas Davis was the biggest

658
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:19,560
Speaker 1: difference maker on the team. Well, the range of peak

659
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 1: Lee and Davis is what makes that defense special. No

660
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:25,840
Speaker 1: other duo of linebackers has that range enclosing speed and

661
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:29,480
Speaker 1: in other Carolina patherss, let's talk about Cam Newton. This

662
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:31,840
Speaker 1: is Cam Newton's big week. It might be Peyton Manning

663
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:35,000
Speaker 1: might be the big storyline here, but Cam Newton's the

664
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:39,360
Speaker 1: biggest star. Greg, You've been uh tracking the Cam Newton

665
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:43,520
Speaker 1: beat pretty close. Also, some high act in Ron Rivera content.

666
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:46,800
Speaker 1: I heard you were monopolizing the Panthers coach at media night,

667
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 1: multiple people saying that you were sort of hogging the

668
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:54,960
Speaker 1: was literally sixty minutes and there's hundreds of people there.

669
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:57,160
Speaker 1: So if you can get in five or six questions.

670
00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 1: Credit to me, Greggs. This year's outlighter at the very end.

671
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:05,800
Speaker 1: For those that don't know, all lighter single handedly, like

672
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 1: we're talking about Wooden Western gets early al lighter at

673
00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:11,880
Speaker 1: the New York Super Bowl. Nearly drove West. I'd say

674
00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:14,360
Speaker 1: drove him to drink. But he didn't need a outlighter

675
00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:17,080
Speaker 1: for that. But it was all Lighter elbowing his way

676
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:20,080
Speaker 1: past you. The former left handed pitcher in baseball. Yeah,

677
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:21,640
Speaker 1: you know, he just felt like he was the biggest

678
00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:23,680
Speaker 1: show in town, so he had to get the interview

679
00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:26,640
Speaker 1: with everyone waiting twenty minutes, didn't matter to him. To me,

680
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:28,920
Speaker 1: Cam Newton, this week, you want to talk about good

681
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:30,879
Speaker 1: looking quarterbacks, he's got to be in the top five

682
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:34,879
Speaker 1: in person. I think I think even more striking. But

683
00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:37,799
Speaker 1: he seems like his wedding too, by the way, Like

684
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:41,120
Speaker 1: I feel like he is. He is so happy in

685
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:44,360
Speaker 1: the spotlight and he knows how Like he's so confident,

686
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:46,640
Speaker 1: and he is so good looking, and he shows up

687
00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:48,759
Speaker 1: and he knows everybody's looking at him and he's walking

688
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:51,600
Speaker 1: down the aisle. Essentially, it's like wedding. Yeah, I see

689
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:54,880
Speaker 1: it as his coronation. Like if this goes to a

690
00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:58,040
Speaker 1: situation where they handle the Broncos easily and he plays

691
00:34:58,040 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 1: out of his mind like he's been doing all year,

692
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:01,800
Speaker 1: I think he'll be, without a doubt, scene is the

693
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:05,360
Speaker 1: biggest star in football. I think this is maybe or

694
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:07,040
Speaker 1: at least getting to that point that some of the

695
00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:09,359
Speaker 1: NBA guys have. But the thing I liked watching him

696
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:14,120
Speaker 1: talk is that when people serve him a softball question,

697
00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:17,960
Speaker 1: he doesn't necessarily take it and just give the cliche

698
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:21,120
Speaker 1: answer that every player says, and that's what we say

699
00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:23,560
Speaker 1: we want. They asked him some question about isn't it

700
00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:26,960
Speaker 1: great how Ron Rivera lets the personality shine. That's been

701
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:29,880
Speaker 1: a big narrative this week. He lets his players be

702
00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:32,640
Speaker 1: who they are, and Cam Newton said, I don't know

703
00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:34,920
Speaker 1: if that helps us. I don't think that really matters.

704
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:37,239
Speaker 1: The only thing that matters is the four to six

705
00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:40,480
Speaker 1: seconds when the play is happening. Those are the four

706
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:42,600
Speaker 1: to six seconds, and you guys want to talk about

707
00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:46,040
Speaker 1: everything that happens after those four to six seconds, whether

708
00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:47,719
Speaker 1: and you can think with Cam Newton, he has the

709
00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:49,920
Speaker 1: experience the towel on the head or his clothes or

710
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:52,760
Speaker 1: his dancing or whatever, and he was making the point

711
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:55,200
Speaker 1: what we do in those four seconds and our eleven

712
00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:57,879
Speaker 1: players playing together, that's why we're here. It has nothing

713
00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:00,359
Speaker 1: to do with our locker room and in who has

714
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:03,040
Speaker 1: more personality, because the Patriots are a great team. They

715
00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:05,279
Speaker 1: have no personality. Did about the football? I mean, did

716
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:07,600
Speaker 1: you scamper back over to Rivera for a couple of

717
00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:10,200
Speaker 1: follow up questions based on what Newton had said. He

718
00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:12,719
Speaker 1: wasn't slamming Rivera and he was just making a point

719
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:15,560
Speaker 1: about the media. I just had this unlimited access to

720
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:19,560
Speaker 1: NFL head coach. Scamp has a very negative connotation. He's

721
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:25,200
Speaker 1: apparently that was a fascinating answer from him on the

722
00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:27,880
Speaker 1: four to six seconds and everything else's flap. He's an

723
00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:31,160
Speaker 1: interesting guy, and I think it's a shame. I've been

724
00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:33,320
Speaker 1: so disappointed the last couple of weeks that the sports

725
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:36,080
Speaker 1: writers and television in this country have have let the

726
00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:39,080
Speaker 1: lowest faction drive the conversation when they could be talking

727
00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:44,120
Speaker 1: about stuff like this. I like that Huh West sometimes

728
00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:46,200
Speaker 1: just drops a hammer and we just need a couple

729
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:49,960
Speaker 1: of seconds to We're just marinating in that for you

730
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:52,360
Speaker 1: can I think you can find him an interesting person

731
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:55,520
Speaker 1: a good football player be slightly annoyed at his first

732
00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:58,359
Speaker 1: down there and you can reconcile all those opinions into

733
00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:01,160
Speaker 1: one and a nuanced look. And Cam Newton, is there

734
00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:07,480
Speaker 1: anyone specifically that you are launching this UHTA again? Uh? Actually,

735
00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:10,359
Speaker 1: very a lot of very specific people, but I'm not

736
00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:12,640
Speaker 1: going to call them out, and I won't call I

737
00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:15,040
Speaker 1: won't name names either West. But when we were sitting

738
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:17,880
Speaker 1: on the media bus going to the Super Bowl opening night,

739
00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:22,120
Speaker 1: there was some like long time sneaky West adversaries also

740
00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:24,960
Speaker 1: on the bus. I had hoped potentially West was going

741
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:27,439
Speaker 1: to air out some dirty laundry. Didn't happen. I don't

742
00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:29,640
Speaker 1: really have any adversaries other than outline or kind of

743
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:32,239
Speaker 1: in my mind. That's mostly in my mind. There are

744
00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:34,080
Speaker 1: a couple of guys that your fantasies. You'd love the

745
00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:36,120
Speaker 1: idea of West getting in a fight on a bus

746
00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:38,560
Speaker 1: with multiple doesn't that sound like the coolest thing ever?

747
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:41,759
Speaker 1: Way up? Do you? You would lock yourself in it

748
00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:44,680
Speaker 1: easily number two on the common Men rankings with a

749
00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:49,920
Speaker 1: basically in any fight. Yeah, that's just thickly built. He

750
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:52,439
Speaker 1: could drop a hammer with his fist if he needed to. Yeah,

751
00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:54,600
Speaker 1: he played with cinder blocks as a kid. That's right,

752
00:37:55,560 --> 00:38:00,719
Speaker 1: that's true. Something might say, all right, all right, so

753
00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:02,200
Speaker 1: that's what's going on with Do you have any other

754
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:04,319
Speaker 1: anything else you want to say that? I think West

755
00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:06,959
Speaker 1: said it off. He did it all. You guys ready

756
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:10,879
Speaker 1: for this? Uh? Two things this brock Osweiler feature mark

757
00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:13,239
Speaker 1: highest of the hire and you haven't written it yet.

758
00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:18,040
Speaker 1: I can't guarantee anything. Greg you're Rivera think. Yeah, I'm

763
00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:41,320
Speaker 1: open listeners. Colleen has brought her the Liquid Ivy hydrogen

764
00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:45,080
Speaker 1: hydration multiplayer. Colleen in a way to cause super Bowl

765
00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:48,600
Speaker 1: Week is really a battle because you're not only working

766
00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:50,799
Speaker 1: a lot, You're you're playing a lot if you will.

767
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:54,080
Speaker 1: Colleen likes to work hard, play hard exactly. That's Connie

768
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:58,959
Speaker 1: Fox's life credo. How I need so? I you said,

769
00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:00,520
Speaker 1: I think this came out baby be on a prior

770
00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:02,239
Speaker 1: show that you were going to bring up bag of

771
00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:06,120
Speaker 1: Liquid Ivy, this company which you know, it sounded dubious

772
00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:08,000
Speaker 1: to me, and I was like, well, is it FDA

773
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:11,520
Speaker 1: approved this? And this was like at the airport. We

774
00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:16,800
Speaker 1: were all sitting there waiting and he's reading it aloud

775
00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:19,480
Speaker 1: and he's mocking the picture of the guys who I

776
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:22,280
Speaker 1: guess founded it. Well, it's two bros from Santa Monica.

777
00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:26,600
Speaker 1: But my concern is because I do care about you,

778
00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:30,480
Speaker 1: Connie Fox. Was this this f d A approved? And

779
00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:32,560
Speaker 1: I hold it up here for the shoot? All my

780
00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:36,480
Speaker 1: papers fault the YouTube audience. Uh. This is a company

781
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:39,920
Speaker 1: liquid Ivy Bros. Based out of Santa Monica, and it

782
00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:42,359
Speaker 1: looks official. So I've been looking for an FDA label

783
00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:45,000
Speaker 1: because I want you to be saved. And we got

784
00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:48,680
Speaker 1: the O R S has cleared it, which is the

785
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:53,200
Speaker 1: oral Rehydration Solution. Oh that's what this is called. It

786
00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:56,960
Speaker 1: meets World Health Organization standards. That's not a real thing.

787
00:39:58,200 --> 00:39:59,920
Speaker 1: And I'm holding this back in half of it is

788
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:03,560
Speaker 1: gone Tuesday. I want to believe. I don't know if

789
00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:07,840
Speaker 1: it works or not. I'm buying it's essentially like a

790
00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:11,280
Speaker 1: like a cough drop or something like maybe you should

791
00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:14,240
Speaker 1: cut back on your drink. I've tried light before. Listen,

792
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:19,120
Speaker 1: I'm chronically dehydrated. For athletes, I'm athletic chronically dehydrated. Let's

793
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:23,600
Speaker 1: get in more likely, guys, I'm falling apart of here. Um,

794
00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:28,040
Speaker 1: what's more likely? A game where ye take this back? Okay,

795
00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:33,280
Speaker 1: all right, if I don't want anything on my conscience? Okay,

796
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:37,400
Speaker 1: So what's more likely? Where we we throw out do

797
00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:40,759
Speaker 1: we have do we have our? Or what's more likely? Theme?

798
00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:49,880
Speaker 1: How beautiful is that we will throw out two options.

799
00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:52,520
Speaker 1: Let's go around the horn here, but we will colleg

800
00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:54,479
Speaker 1: and we'll get to you even though your first in order.

801
00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:57,239
Speaker 1: Just hang tight, Okay, okay, do you have you thought

802
00:40:57,280 --> 00:41:00,440
Speaker 1: of one yet? I'm I'm still thinking a little. Okay,

803
00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:02,080
Speaker 1: but I think I got one. We'll start with the

804
00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:05,120
Speaker 1: sizzler the quiet storm. Throw out what's more likely? But

805
00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:09,880
Speaker 1: all right, what is more likely? A brock Osweiler plays

806
00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:15,040
Speaker 1: meaningful snaps in Sunday Super Bowl or around the NFL

807
00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:20,560
Speaker 1: editor Greg Rosenthal retires from NFL Media to kick off

808
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:25,040
Speaker 1: and start up his passion project, a women's tennis blog

809
00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:30,480
Speaker 1: called Courts of Thunder That sounds like an awesome movie.

810
00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:33,560
Speaker 1: Courts of Thunder. I like that. I think it's more

811
00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:37,680
Speaker 1: likely than Greg quits his job to start his tennis blog.

812
00:41:37,960 --> 00:41:39,800
Speaker 1: He doesn't know this, but we know he has another

813
00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:42,920
Speaker 1: Twitter account and it's all tennis, and one day the

814
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:45,319
Speaker 1: three of us all followed him. At no time I

815
00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:47,600
Speaker 1: did notice that, and then I deleted that account like

816
00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:53,560
Speaker 1: a year ago. We thought you blocked us away to

817
00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:56,680
Speaker 1: tennis analysis from Greg. That's what that was gonna be

818
00:41:56,719 --> 00:41:59,000
Speaker 1: my source for tennis knowledge. Well, it was really just

819
00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:01,680
Speaker 1: to follow to a separate feed. But you're right. I

820
00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:03,520
Speaker 1: had tweeted some out, but I hadn't in like a year,

821
00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:06,319
Speaker 1: so you need any reporter. I would love it if

822
00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:09,520
Speaker 1: I could make money traveling the world and covering tennis.

823
00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:12,080
Speaker 1: I would love to take on that challenge. That's football

824
00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:13,640
Speaker 1: has been very good to all of us. That the

825
00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:16,000
Speaker 1: NFL is here in this place. They don't have this

826
00:42:16,080 --> 00:42:22,040
Speaker 1: for you know, the Stanford opened, Stanford Open. That's probably

827
00:42:22,040 --> 00:42:27,000
Speaker 1: a real event. American answer the question, This is simple.

828
00:42:27,040 --> 00:42:28,680
Speaker 1: I mean, as much as it would be fun too,

829
00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:31,160
Speaker 1: imat Greg living that life. Peyton Manning is like seven

830
00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:33,280
Speaker 1: hundred years old and one of the best past rushers

831
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:36,960
Speaker 1: in football. Could easily separate his body right in half

832
00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:39,359
Speaker 1: and then the backup quarterback comes in that's more likely

833
00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:42,000
Speaker 1: in my opinion. Alright, well, good discussion. What if he

834
00:42:42,040 --> 00:42:44,920
Speaker 1: plays bad, Like, what if he starts melting down early

835
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:47,480
Speaker 1: in the game. I think that would be I think

836
00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:50,920
Speaker 1: there is any like any possibility at all. It's a

837
00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:53,359
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. You would have to if you love there

838
00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:56,239
Speaker 1: has to be a scenario. But it's such an ugly

839
00:42:56,280 --> 00:42:57,920
Speaker 1: one to think about because they don't have to be

840
00:42:57,960 --> 00:43:00,480
Speaker 1: down two or three scores by that point. And then

841
00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:03,640
Speaker 1: could Kubiak even start thinking, do I really want to

842
00:43:03,680 --> 00:43:06,560
Speaker 1: bench Peyton Manning in his last game? It's hard to

843
00:43:06,560 --> 00:43:09,080
Speaker 1: imagine happy except for for injury, it will be the

844
00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:11,759
Speaker 1: toughest situation in Kubiak's career. Al Right, West, you're up.

845
00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:17,600
Speaker 1: What's more likely Peyton Manning, known for the last eighteen

846
00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:20,560
Speaker 1: days of his life as the Sheriff apparently nickname came

847
00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:25,360
Speaker 1: out of nowhere. Great nickname. He walks off into the

848
00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:28,000
Speaker 1: sunset with a Super Bowl m v P and retires,

849
00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:33,640
Speaker 1: or the Broncos have another embarrassing showing and the Super

850
00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:35,719
Speaker 1: Bowl get blown out just like they were in Super Bowl.

851
00:43:38,600 --> 00:43:41,200
Speaker 1: Oh wow, both are like really, that's here's the thing.

852
00:43:41,960 --> 00:43:44,759
Speaker 1: It's a good one because Peyton Manning doesn't have to

853
00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:46,440
Speaker 1: do a lot to win the m v P. The

854
00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:49,200
Speaker 1: biggest thing is the Manning family has shown that in

855
00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:54,919
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. Those are justin tux trophies, a little god,

856
00:43:55,640 --> 00:44:00,279
Speaker 1: uh nice Subway campaign, justin but really, uh, that's weird

857
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:03,759
Speaker 1: heat to be throwing somebody back Peyton Manning. If he

858
00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:06,680
Speaker 1: just if he, if the Broncos win and he puts

859
00:44:06,719 --> 00:44:09,799
Speaker 1: up any statistics at all, like literally maybe throws one

860
00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:12,680
Speaker 1: touchdown and doesn't melt down with turnovers, he'll be the

861
00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:15,279
Speaker 1: m v P because that's how they want, that's how

862
00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:17,640
Speaker 1: the story will want to play out. So I think

863
00:44:17,760 --> 00:44:20,879
Speaker 1: that's more likely in my opinion, because I do. I'm

864
00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:22,920
Speaker 1: starting to think that son of bum is gonna dial

865
00:44:23,040 --> 00:44:25,120
Speaker 1: something up to keep this getting competitive. I think, like we,

866
00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:27,759
Speaker 1: it's easy to forget that the last two games that

867
00:44:27,840 --> 00:44:32,759
Speaker 1: Carolina played they roared out to massive starts at home,

868
00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:35,240
Speaker 1: demolishing to Gas two of the best teams in the NFL.

869
00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:38,120
Speaker 1: That's fair, and so that there is a scenario where

870
00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:41,440
Speaker 1: the Broncos get wrecked. But and again I am I

871
00:44:41,480 --> 00:44:43,600
Speaker 1: am prone to fall for this, but just talking to

872
00:44:43,680 --> 00:44:46,160
Speaker 1: their players and coaches the last couple happening. I do

873
00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:48,799
Speaker 1: not think it's gonna be a blowout. I think it's

874
00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:50,839
Speaker 1: a different type between The defense is the number one

875
00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:52,640
Speaker 1: reason why I don't think it'll be a blowout. So

876
00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:56,120
Speaker 1: I'll go Peyton Manning m v P. The enchantment has begun.

877
00:44:56,239 --> 00:44:58,399
Speaker 1: No West already is on me for this, but he's right.

878
00:44:59,040 --> 00:45:02,120
Speaker 1: Can you repeat the secon In scenario again? The Broncos

879
00:45:02,120 --> 00:45:05,160
Speaker 1: get the Broncos get blown out, just as they did

880
00:45:05,160 --> 00:45:11,440
Speaker 1: in Super Bowl. Panthers are Yeah, I'm gonna go with

881
00:45:11,480 --> 00:45:13,160
Speaker 1: the first one. I don't know. I mean, I I

882
00:45:13,440 --> 00:45:16,320
Speaker 1: kind of want a different story because I've been almost

883
00:45:16,320 --> 00:45:20,120
Speaker 1: preparing myself to read this narrative over and over again

884
00:45:20,120 --> 00:45:23,400
Speaker 1: about Peyton Manning riding off into the sunset Broncos and

885
00:45:23,440 --> 00:45:25,799
Speaker 1: everything whatever. But I think it's going to happen. I

886
00:45:25,800 --> 00:45:28,839
Speaker 1: think Bronco's embarrassment is much more likely. The Panthers are

887
00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:31,360
Speaker 1: one of the best teams we've we've seen. The Broncos

888
00:45:31,400 --> 00:45:33,080
Speaker 1: are a good team. I don't think it will be

889
00:45:33,080 --> 00:45:35,759
Speaker 1: a blow out necessarily, but I think that's more likely

890
00:45:35,840 --> 00:45:38,360
Speaker 1: to happen. And if the Broncos do somehow win, I

891
00:45:38,360 --> 00:45:40,120
Speaker 1: don't think it will be because of Peyton Manning and

892
00:45:40,120 --> 00:45:42,000
Speaker 1: maybe of have some faith in our writers to pick

893
00:45:42,040 --> 00:45:45,560
Speaker 1: the right player for once, Von Miller, little saucy shot

894
00:45:45,640 --> 00:45:49,520
Speaker 1: at the end, there with your colleagues. Colle and you're up, okay.

895
00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:58,920
Speaker 1: Demarrius Thomas has more touchdowns than drops or or Luke Keikley, scores,

896
00:45:59,480 --> 00:46:04,280
Speaker 1: more scores, scores more scores, more than Peyton Manning throws

897
00:46:04,360 --> 00:46:07,440
Speaker 1: for Does that make sense? It makes sense. I'll go

898
00:46:07,520 --> 00:46:10,680
Speaker 1: with Damarius Thomas. I don't think he struggled with drops

899
00:46:10,719 --> 00:46:12,520
Speaker 1: before this year. It's a mental thing. He's too good

900
00:46:12,560 --> 00:46:14,839
Speaker 1: of a player to keep doing this and look quickly,

901
00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:16,920
Speaker 1: it's already bizarre that he has two straight games with

902
00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:19,880
Speaker 1: a touchdown, Right, this is a bizarre One's more likely

903
00:46:19,920 --> 00:46:21,600
Speaker 1: there's a lot going on here. I think you've been

904
00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:24,120
Speaker 1: drinking too much of that powdered water. I think I've

905
00:46:24,160 --> 00:46:27,239
Speaker 1: been thinking about this for a little while. Has more

906
00:46:27,280 --> 00:46:31,640
Speaker 1: tds than drops or Keeklely throws more TV than Manning, throws,

907
00:46:32,080 --> 00:46:36,120
Speaker 1: scores more, has the score more than Manning. Yeah, which

908
00:46:36,160 --> 00:46:39,120
Speaker 1: is would be another game with no touchdowns by Manning. Right,

909
00:46:39,160 --> 00:46:42,320
Speaker 1: so if Manning doesn't throw a touchdown and has another

910
00:46:42,320 --> 00:46:46,560
Speaker 1: pick six and yeah, that's that scenario, Chile. I'm gonna

911
00:46:46,560 --> 00:46:48,440
Speaker 1: go with the first one to Marrius has more tds

912
00:46:48,440 --> 00:46:51,720
Speaker 1: and drops. It's a blowout. It's a blow that's somewhat

913
00:46:51,760 --> 00:46:54,400
Speaker 1: likely to happen. That he could get a touchdown and

914
00:46:54,440 --> 00:46:58,040
Speaker 1: no drops quickly scoring more than Manning would be a

915
00:46:58,040 --> 00:47:00,400
Speaker 1: total embarrassment. Like like the last I mean, the odds

916
00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:03,520
Speaker 1: on that happening are are slim. Colleagues really are hateful

917
00:47:03,560 --> 00:47:07,840
Speaker 1: towards Peyton Manning. I'm not, I'm not, I'm just being realistic.

918
00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:11,000
Speaker 1: Greg did offer, but I will go to Marius Thomas.

919
00:47:11,120 --> 00:47:13,960
Speaker 1: I like the boat scenarios. That was intriguing in baffling.

920
00:47:15,840 --> 00:47:19,080
Speaker 1: All right, I'll throw him out there. What is more

921
00:47:19,239 --> 00:47:24,800
Speaker 1: likely Cam Newton throws three interceptions or Peyton Manning throws

922
00:47:24,920 --> 00:47:30,480
Speaker 1: three touchdowns? Oh, I like cam Newton throwing three interceptions,

923
00:47:30,640 --> 00:47:34,120
Speaker 1: which she hasn't done all year. I know, but those

924
00:47:34,200 --> 00:47:36,719
Speaker 1: cornerbacks are so good. I know. Chris Harris, he's been

925
00:47:36,719 --> 00:47:40,600
Speaker 1: struggling a little bit, so hopefully just the time will

926
00:47:40,640 --> 00:47:42,560
Speaker 1: have healed him whatever is going on with him, and

927
00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:45,040
Speaker 1: like hopefully it's not something serious. But you look, I

928
00:47:45,040 --> 00:47:47,880
Speaker 1: mean those quarters they have to keep to leave Chris Harris,

929
00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:51,319
Speaker 1: Bradley Roby, They're all really good, solid guys. I could

930
00:47:51,320 --> 00:47:53,400
Speaker 1: see it happening. If any team was going to be it,

931
00:47:53,400 --> 00:47:55,320
Speaker 1: it'd be the Broncos. So I would go with Cam Newton.

932
00:47:55,320 --> 00:47:58,239
Speaker 1: Three interceptions too. I mean, he's much more accurate. But

933
00:47:58,280 --> 00:47:59,880
Speaker 1: who have a loose thrower too? He had one in

934
00:47:59,880 --> 00:48:02,279
Speaker 1: the NFC Championship. It's not been a problem this year.

935
00:48:02,440 --> 00:48:04,480
Speaker 1: It would have to be a crazy scenario where von

936
00:48:04,560 --> 00:48:06,640
Speaker 1: Miller hits his arm while he's thrown, but I could

937
00:48:06,640 --> 00:48:08,719
Speaker 1: see that that's more like. It's also a slim chance

938
00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:11,800
Speaker 1: of this happening. To shock you guys by saying Peyton

939
00:48:11,840 --> 00:48:14,600
Speaker 1: Man three touchdowns because the Panthers are gonna jump out

940
00:48:14,640 --> 00:48:16,640
Speaker 1: to such a big lead. Peyton Man, he's gonna be

941
00:48:16,640 --> 00:48:21,279
Speaker 1: padding his stats in garbage time. Wow, he a lot

942
00:48:21,320 --> 00:48:23,839
Speaker 1: of disces. That's going to pick on Thursday show. And

943
00:48:23,920 --> 00:48:26,879
Speaker 1: I think he's still decided. I'm gonna go Manning three

944
00:48:26,880 --> 00:48:30,920
Speaker 1: touchdowns because I you know, throwing three picks for Kim Newton.

945
00:48:30,960 --> 00:48:32,560
Speaker 1: This is the m v P and he's playing at

946
00:48:32,600 --> 00:48:35,839
Speaker 1: the highest level right now. I don't see that would

947
00:48:35,880 --> 00:48:39,080
Speaker 1: be a total choke job, and it's just hard to

948
00:48:39,120 --> 00:48:42,440
Speaker 1: imagine Kim Newton having a choke job, just to do it. Finally,

949
00:48:42,480 --> 00:48:45,399
Speaker 1: Greg all right, because I didn't want to get into

950
00:48:45,440 --> 00:48:48,279
Speaker 1: who's picking the games or whatever. Who is the more

951
00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:53,440
Speaker 1: likely player to be the goat on Sunday Night, Panther's

952
00:48:53,520 --> 00:49:00,880
Speaker 1: cornerback Robert McClain or Panthers tackle Michael Lore. The Panthers

953
00:49:00,920 --> 00:49:04,279
Speaker 1: the favorite team in this scenario, they lose one of

954
00:49:04,280 --> 00:49:07,480
Speaker 1: the teams. One of those guys is TD is looking

955
00:49:07,520 --> 00:49:10,960
Speaker 1: at me like I'm crazy. But it's a little lessoteric McClean,

956
00:49:11,120 --> 00:49:13,759
Speaker 1: because I mean, people don't even mostly know what it

957
00:49:13,960 --> 00:49:17,680
Speaker 1: tackle did until afterwards. Average your average fans don't even

958
00:49:17,719 --> 00:49:20,560
Speaker 1: aren't even watching tackles. People need to quit picking on

959
00:49:20,680 --> 00:49:23,080
Speaker 1: Michael Or. He's not that bad of a player. Pro

960
00:49:23,160 --> 00:49:25,600
Speaker 1: Football Focus has it out for him. They convinced everyone

961
00:49:25,600 --> 00:49:28,120
Speaker 1: else that Michael Or stinks. He's had a good season,

962
00:49:28,320 --> 00:49:31,040
Speaker 1: he's integral to their success. Leave him alone. Great. I

963
00:49:31,280 --> 00:49:33,600
Speaker 1: think my thought is one of these two guys, it

964
00:49:33,640 --> 00:49:36,239
Speaker 1: wouldn't shock me if they were. Robert McLean, I think

965
00:49:36,280 --> 00:49:38,840
Speaker 1: has been the worst player and the most harmful player

966
00:49:38,880 --> 00:49:41,040
Speaker 1: to his team on either of these two teams. He

967
00:49:41,040 --> 00:49:43,719
Speaker 1: has gotten toasted the last two weeks and teams are

968
00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:45,280
Speaker 1: picking on him, and I think it's something to watch.

969
00:49:45,320 --> 00:49:48,320
Speaker 1: I look Peyton Manning, who he's gonna go after whatever

970
00:49:48,360 --> 00:49:51,480
Speaker 1: receiver is not against Josh Norman. So I mean, if

971
00:49:51,480 --> 00:49:54,280
Speaker 1: you have Emmanuel Sanders or Damarius Thomas on the other side,

972
00:49:54,360 --> 00:49:56,719
Speaker 1: they're gonna have Robert McClean there. So that's what's I mean,

973
00:49:57,520 --> 00:50:00,200
Speaker 1: I could see that happening. Good. What's more likely as

974
00:50:00,880 --> 00:50:04,759
Speaker 1: thank you? So that is yeah, that is Tuesdays Around

975
00:50:04,760 --> 00:50:09,960
Speaker 1: the NFL podcast sponsored by our good friend Scott Scott Trade. Colleen,

976
00:50:10,080 --> 00:50:12,480
Speaker 1: I mean, you've done it again. You've said it all,

977
00:50:13,400 --> 00:50:17,000
Speaker 1: and uh, I shouldn't mention again. We are planning and

978
00:50:17,080 --> 00:50:20,320
Speaker 1: I still reserve the right to cancel it at any moment.

979
00:50:20,680 --> 00:50:24,239
Speaker 1: A sweet up on Friday night here in San Francisco

980
00:50:24,560 --> 00:50:28,200
Speaker 1: for any around the NFL listeners that want to meet

981
00:50:28,280 --> 00:50:31,520
Speaker 1: with the heroes. Uh. Colleen included maybe t D will

982
00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:34,160
Speaker 1: Joyce TV. Kind of his little slippery during these league events.

983
00:50:34,160 --> 00:50:36,000
Speaker 1: It's hard to track him down. You just see him

984
00:50:36,040 --> 00:50:39,320
Speaker 1: walking down a dark, uh like street with his beats

985
00:50:39,360 --> 00:50:42,840
Speaker 1: on and his long pea coats. I think he's convinced

986
00:50:42,840 --> 00:50:45,120
Speaker 1: he's on Like the set of the wire sometimes, but

987
00:50:47,920 --> 00:50:51,080
Speaker 1: we haven't figured out where the meet up is. Well,

988
00:50:51,120 --> 00:50:54,279
Speaker 1: that's hit us up at a t N hashtag a

989
00:50:54,400 --> 00:50:56,200
Speaker 1: t N meet up if you want to join us.

990
00:50:56,239 --> 00:50:58,240
Speaker 1: We want to get an idea of how many people

991
00:50:57,920 --> 00:51:02,160
Speaker 1: people have been because that think it will be in

992
00:51:02,239 --> 00:51:05,560
Speaker 1: downtown San Francisco or you know, in the general area.

993
00:51:05,960 --> 00:51:11,080
Speaker 1: I mean it's not gonna be so far. Well, that

994
00:51:11,120 --> 00:51:13,759
Speaker 1: would be worth doing. I mean I would have. I

995
00:51:13,800 --> 00:51:16,479
Speaker 1: would veto you canceling it if we had fifty people.

996
00:51:16,520 --> 00:51:20,239
Speaker 1: I feel like we're probably gonna do it. I will

997
00:51:20,280 --> 00:51:22,480
Speaker 1: sabotage it and then declare vengeance on all of you.

998
00:51:22,600 --> 00:51:25,799
Speaker 1: Will be out if you want to join. All right,
