1
00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:03,559
Speaker 1: You don't listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio.

2
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:07,240
Speaker 2: Well that's right, you heard the man. It is that

3
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:09,239
Speaker 2: time of week. My name is Bernie Frina. We are

4
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:11,440
Speaker 2: company line from the Fox Sports Radio studios here in

5
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:19,560
Speaker 2: Las Vegas. Welcome to our annual Super Bowl Extravaganza show. Yes,

6
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:25,160
Speaker 2: and then there was one. The Super Bowl, which is

7
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 2: basically a two week convention for the NFL, always culminates

8
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:33,920
Speaker 2: a little football game that'll kick off here, Oh what

9
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:38,159
Speaker 2: about sixteen and a half hours, and you know, the

10
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:42,720
Speaker 2: anticipation for Sunday's game builds into a crescendo with the

11
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 2: white hot intensity of a million suns. But before that,

12
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:50,839
Speaker 2: oh no, no, yo yo. Gibier I once spoke at

13
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 2: a banquet and opened up by saying, I like to

14
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 2: thank everyone who made this night necessary. Do you ever

15
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 2: wonder work with me for a minute? Do you ever

16
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 2: wonder why this Super Bowl pregame show is so long?

17
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 2: True story? The reason it started was by accident. Back

18
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 2: in Super Bowl twelve, nineteen seventy eight, CBS had basically

19
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 2: allotted ninety minutes for a pregame show. However, when the

20
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:24,319
Speaker 2: Phoenix Opened golf tournament got rained out and CBS needed programming. Well,

21
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 2: they extended the show in additional three hours and the

22
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 2: rest is history and I'm nauseated by it. Sorry forgive me,

23
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:38,959
Speaker 2: we're watching the TV. Oh look, look the bus is

24
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:42,479
Speaker 2: leaving the hotel. The team bus is leaving. Somebody get

25
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 2: me a cold compress. This is so exciting. Meanwhile, you've

26
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 2: got celebrities who couldn't pick a winner with Monday's newspaper.

27
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 2: They're gonna regale us with their pseudo wisdom. Yep, so

28
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 2: almost here. Frankly, it's already basically started. The long Super

29
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 2: Bowl pregame show overtime become so boring my teeth itch

30
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 2: because of NonStop hours of repetitive analysis, forced celebrity interviews,

31
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 2: filler content, and it's all designed just to stretch the

32
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 2: coverage on and on for hours before kickoff because they're

33
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 2: trying to casual or cater to the casual viewer. It's

34
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:27,919
Speaker 2: just incredible, mundane, redundant, excessive, low stakes to entertainment rather

35
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 2: than genuine the in depth football analysis, which is probably

36
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,119
Speaker 2: too much of that as well. And yes, it produces

37
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:40,640
Speaker 2: an extremely slow paced, stale product. Spot to lie please,

38
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 2: you got excessive LinkedIn filler. Okay, this pregame show Sunday

39
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:51,919
Speaker 2: will be four to five hours, and again all kinds

40
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 2: of filler content, stuff repetitive over and over force celebrity

41
00:02:56,160 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 2: red carpet interviews. These been you know, mundane interviews with

42
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 2: celebrities which often lack the glamour that they're so hard,

43
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 2: you know, trying so hard to push down our throat

44
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 2: and rather than any new fresh insights, basically they rehash

45
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,639
Speaker 2: the same storylines over and over, and the predictions over

46
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 2: and over, and the content. Again, there's a reason I'm

47
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 2: using the word repetitive is because it is repetitive. Yes,

48
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:28,359
Speaker 2: very poorly conceived segments. I'm sorry. The network genuinely attempts

49
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:33,080
Speaker 2: to create entertainment. They feature non football athletes or these

50
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 2: you know, goofy competitions, or sometimes you'll get the sappy

51
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 2: story which or okay, but they can fall flat. Every

52
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 2: bit of it falls flat. By the time the game

53
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 2: rolls around, you are very ready. You are very ready,

54
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 2: and you know there's one name Sunday that all of

55
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 2: our eyes are going to be on. All lives will

56
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 2: be on this gentleman, win, lose or draw the scrutiny.

57
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 2: The saga has come out come full circle. We'll be

58
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 2: paying attention to this gentleman. And I get it because

59
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 2: up until last year, well, his story wents something like

60
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 2: this reminds me. Reminds me of an old story of

61
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 2: a lady, young lady walking by a pet store and

62
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 2: a parrot yeels out, hey lady, and she turns and looks,

63
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 2: and the parents says, you're ugly, and the lady kind

64
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:39,359
Speaker 2: of chuckles, Oh my god, that's kind of cute. That's funny.

65
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:41,719
Speaker 2: Next day, she's walking by the same pet store. The

66
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 2: parrot says, hey, lady, what you're ugly. She kind of

67
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 2: gives the pairt a dirty look. Third day, she's walking

68
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 2: by the same pet store and he says, hey lady.

69
00:04:54,960 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 2: The parent says, hey lady, she's what you're ugly. That's it.

70
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 2: She marches into the pet store, goes right up to

71
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 2: the owner and says, I don't really appreciate it. Walked

72
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 2: here three days in a row, your parrot telling me

73
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 2: I'm ugly. The owner says, man, I'm very sorry, I'm

74
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:16,280
Speaker 2: very apologetic. I will handle this. I will make sure

75
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 2: this never happens again. Okay, thank you. The next day

76
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,839
Speaker 2: she's walking by the pet store again and the parrot

77
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 2: yells at her and says, hey, lady, what.

78
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 3: You know?

79
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 2: That is kind of how I feel about Sam Darnold

80
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 2: and how his saga was up until last year. I

81
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 2: get it. This is just fifteen. It's just fifteen, and

82
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 2: yet even though he was thirty one and six the

83
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:51,719
Speaker 2: last two years, he can't seem to get the benefit

84
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 2: of the doubt stuff. I heard all week. Well, I

85
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 2: don't know, you really can't trust him. The guy's had

86
00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 2: three playoff games in his career and tour this year,

87
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,480
Speaker 2: I hear people saying, well, I really think this is

88
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 2: Seattle's game to win. But I've got reservations about Sam.

89
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 2: What if they're turnovers? Does it really still deserve the stigma?

90
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 2: People just want to see the other shoe drop. I

91
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:16,039
Speaker 2: couldn't believe. Dominic Foxworth the other day on our airwaves says,

92
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 2: let's not forget he had a real rough second half

93
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:22,480
Speaker 2: of the year. Let's also not forget Matt Stafford through

94
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 2: two picks in the Super Bowl he won. And oh,

95
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 2: by the way, if Terrakwawski Tart doesn't drop one, he

96
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 2: might not ever been to a Super Bowl. But I

97
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 2: get it. You can hold two thoughts Concurrently, I just

98
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 2: feel that it's almost however, but Sam Darnold does it's

99
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 2: going to be a mandate for the rest of his career.

100
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 2: But beyond that, there are some game defining matchups. And

101
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,159
Speaker 2: we've got a great guest coming up at about ten minutes,

102
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:54,040
Speaker 2: Scott Pritchard, one of the most respected handicappers here in

103
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 2: Las Vegas, and we're gonna have Super Bowl analysis throughout

104
00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 2: the show. And you know what's there's there's there's really

105
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 2: some mystery to the Super Bowl. There are three trinkets

106
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 2: that I think that are food for thought. The Pats

107
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:09,039
Speaker 2: are averaging eighteen points a game per playoff game this year,

108
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 2: which is not good. Only two teams to twenty thirteen

109
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 2: Broncos and the twenty eighteen Rams have made the Super

110
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 2: Bowl while scoring fewer than twenty points a game in

111
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 2: the playoffs. Is it a bad sign for New England?

112
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 2: I don't know, not necessarily, because the Dogs are seventeen

113
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 2: and seven in the last twenty four games, and they're

114
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 2: thirteen and eleven outright. I know a lot of sharp people,

115
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 2: including me that kind of like the four and a

116
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 2: half points Sunday defense only gave up less than ten

117
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 2: points per game on average. And I know about c J. Strout,

118
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 2: I know about all the nuances that people will throw

119
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 2: in my face, but it still happened. The last three

120
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 2: times teams did that, they all won out right. By

121
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 2: the way, New England has faced a bunch of elite

122
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 2: defenses in this playoff run. They've beaten the number ten,

123
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 2: number two, and number five defenses according to DVOA. The

124
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 2: Seahawks also, by the way right number one in that metric.

125
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 2: Now the marker of a good team. The Pats I

126
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 2: get their wonky schedule. They haven't lost the game by

127
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 2: more than one score this year, so that's probably a

128
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 2: good sign for their prospects. Senday. No matter who wins,

129
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 2: I genuinely think it's going to be a much closer game.

130
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 2: My prediction in the Las Vegas Review Journal was twenty

131
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 2: three to twenty. I'll tell you who I think is

132
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 2: on the right side of that at the end of

133
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 2: the show. But again, he always seems to come back

134
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 2: to the only true wild card in the game that

135
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 2: people are talking about, and that is Sam Donald, who's

136
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 2: frankly this year been at his best in the biggest

137
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 2: moments for the Seahawks. You will never hear me. You

138
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 2: will never hear me bash Sam Donald period. By the way,

139
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,199
Speaker 2: one of the matchups we have to start with the quarterbacks,

140
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 2: so let's get that out of the way. Sam Donald

141
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 2: versus the pass pressure, well, we know that Sam has

142
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 2: over the years had his issues when you bring the

143
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,960
Speaker 2: heat on him, and it was a trend that continued.

144
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 2: In the regular season. He threw more interceptions on facing

145
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:05,320
Speaker 2: pressure total of eight than any other QB did. But

146
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 2: something might have changed in the postseason when he was pressured.

147
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 2: In those two games against the forty Niners and Rams,

148
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 2: he had four touchdowns and zero picks. Overall, He's had

149
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:18,440
Speaker 2: no turnovers so far this year in the postseason, compared

150
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 2: to the two in last year's playoff loss in Minnesota.

151
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 2: Now he gets the Patriots defense as pressured quarterbacks about

152
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 2: fifty two percent of the snaps this season, more than

153
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 2: any other playoff team. How will he handle it? Find

154
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 2: out Sunday Now about Drake May versus the Seahawks and

155
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 2: their ability to contain Seattle's got a four man front

156
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:41,679
Speaker 2: and they present, frankly, a very similar challenge for Drake May,

157
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 2: who seems to respond to rushers by other a taking

158
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 2: a sack b completing a deep ball only by the way,

159
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:51,200
Speaker 2: only three quarterbacks in the league took more sacks than

160
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 2: him at forty seven, including Gino Smith, but he did

161
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:58,560
Speaker 2: leave the league in yards per pass went pressure Drake

162
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 2: may Well. His legs are also a factor. No quarterback

163
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 2: ran as often as him this season, and he averaged

164
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 2: almost fifty yards across three playoff games. So while Seattle

165
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 2: holds the league's best run defense, that flips if you

166
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 2: isolate for quarterback runs. The Seahawks rank twenty ninth in

167
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 2: yards per quarterback carry alout. Okay, so how donald in

168
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 2: may respond to pressure could decide this game, and the

169
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:32,080
Speaker 2: Seahawks might have an advantage there. May's taken fifteen sacks

170
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 2: and three playoff games. We know that rookie left tackles

171
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 2: had some issues, Donald's only averaging a couple of three

172
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 2: sacks in his two games. Finally, it's still a game

173
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 2: played eleven out eleven. Who's got the better run game? Frankly,

174
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 2: it's hard to run against either team. The Seahawks allowed

175
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 2: the third fewest rush yards this season, the Pats ranked six,

176
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:55,679
Speaker 2: but both offenses rely very heavily on the run. For

177
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 2: the threat of it, and that opens up their passing lanes.

178
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:02,560
Speaker 2: Over half of Donald snaps are from under center. That's

179
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 2: the second most fifty five percent. By the way, Drake

180
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:09,680
Speaker 2: May he's not far behind forty seven percent. That allows

181
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 2: both quarterbacks to utilize play action. They're both top ten

182
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:17,840
Speaker 2: play action passers. And by the way, new Ramandre Stevenson

183
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 2: I think will probably struggle against Seattle's top rank run defense.

184
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:25,679
Speaker 2: But the Seahawks, who will also be a first run

185
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 2: team with Kenneth Walker, who's on the contract drive, I

186
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 2: believe he'll be a unrestricted free agent. Can you imagine

187
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:34,840
Speaker 2: if he goes off and Seattle wins and he's an

188
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 2: MVP or something, don't have to drive a brinkstruck to

189
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:40,679
Speaker 2: his house. They're going to need him to break off

190
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 2: explosive runs the Seahawks are, and that's no guarantee because

191
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:48,079
Speaker 2: the Pats run defense they've elevated this postseason. They've had

192
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 2: one explosive run in sixty eight attempts and zero rushing scores.

193
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 2: And I get it, the teams they've played don't run

194
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 2: the ball as well as Seattle. But every game, every

195
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 2: Super Bowl, every NFL game has its own unique DNA.

196
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 2: So we'll see how this thing shakes out. But the

197
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 2: prevailing narrative that all Seattle has to do is show

198
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 2: up and they win by margin. I'm not so sure.

199
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:18,839
Speaker 2: I'm not so sure. Have you ever wiped with a

200
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 2: piece of dry toilet paper and wondered is this as

201
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:24,560
Speaker 2: good as it gets? Well, it's not switched to life

202
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:29,040

247

Speaker 2: three thirty kickoff. But let's start right off. Come off

248
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 2: the top rope. Scott, tell us how you see this game,

249
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 2: because there's a lot of strong opinions, and I'm looking

250
00:14:58,880 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 2: forward to your thoughts.

251
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 10: I have a lot of respect for both teams, both coaches.

252
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 10: I'm telling you that I have made a lot of

253
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 10: money and seeing things before they happen. But I have

254
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 10: to tell you, man, in August, I would have never

255
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 10: guessed that it'll be the Patriots saying the Seattle Seahawks.

256
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 10: I love the coaches, I love the teams, and of

257
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 10: course you know New England Week one, Bernie Day at

258
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 10: home loss to the Raiders. So even after starting out

259
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 10: zero to one against the worst team in football, for

260
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 10: this team to make it to the super Bowl is

261
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 10: very interesting. I do have an opinion on the side

262
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 10: and the total and a couple of props as well,

263
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 10: so we can get started with that. I feel that

264
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 10: the Patriots, you know, they were very blessed with a

265
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 10: cupcake schedule, and of course Buffalo has basically the same

266
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 10: schedule and they ended up a sixth seed. So we

267
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 10: have to give Rabel credit. I bet big money on

268
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 10: Rabel Coach of the Year, even money at Burca, and

269
00:15:56,880 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 10: then also a week later, same price miraculously at Westgate

270
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:04,760
Speaker 10: and Winter Winter Steak and Lobster dinner. And you look

271
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 10: at this Patriots team, Bernie, and they have some challenges offensively,

272
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 10: I mean against the Chargers offensively did not look good.

273
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 10: Offensively against the Houston tex.

274
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 11: Did not look good.

275
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 10: And then of course they only had one offensive touchdown

276
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 10: in the championship game against Denver, and that was a

277
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 10: commanding twelve yard drive off of a turnover. So they've

278
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 10: got some challenges offensively. I respect both teams defenses. I

279
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 10: like under forty five and a half, which is readily

280
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 10: available right now, and I also like the Pats plus

281
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 10: five minusz five. I got half price chews. I do

282
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 10: expect Seattle to win, but being a numbers guy, value guy,

283
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 10: I mean if I can find a cheap, chap sheep

284
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 10: money line on Seattle, I'll take a look at playing it.

285
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 10: I expect Seattle to win, but giving me plus five

286
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 10: and half off juice, I'm a value guy.

287
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 7: I had to play it well.

288
00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 2: I gotta tell you. I fired on the Seahawks plus

289
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 2: four and a half, and I think the I check

290
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:06,120
Speaker 2: that the Pats plus four and a half, and I'm

291
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 2: quite sure the books are going to need the Patriots.

292
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 2: And I didn't do anything with the game total, Scott,

293
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:15,240
Speaker 2: but I did play the first half under of twenty

294
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:16,680
Speaker 2: one and a half. Your thoughts on that.

295
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:19,959
Speaker 10: Play well, I like it, And I have to tell you,

296
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 10: when you speak, I listen. You're one of the few

297
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 10: people that I listened to because you almost always provoked thought.

298
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:29,040
Speaker 10: You almost always come up with something that no one's

299
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 10: looked at. In this case, that actually is kind of

300
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:34,520
Speaker 10: a correlated opinion on what I'm looking at. I like

301
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 10: the first quarter under seven and a half, and obviously

302
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 10: that would lend itself to if that gets there, you'll

303
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 10: be looking good at under twenty one and a half

304
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:48,119
Speaker 10: for the first half. The reason, Bernie, I like the

305
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:50,960
Speaker 10: first half total under is both of these teams are

306
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 10: well coached. Both of these teams. You know, you cannot

307
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 10: win the Super Bowl in the first quarter, but you

308
00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:59,400
Speaker 10: sure as heck can lose it by being stupid, by

309
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:03,439
Speaker 10: not by you know, being reckless and having you know,

310
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:07,919
Speaker 10: Dan Campbell mentality, a gunslinger mentality if you're turning the

311
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 10: ball over having stupid penalties. But these two teams and

312
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:15,879
Speaker 10: coaches are well versed and too smart for that. So

313
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 10: I expect both teams to come out just kind of

314
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 10: get into the game short in the game, three plays

315
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:24,159
Speaker 10: to the right cloud of dust, three plays to the

316
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:27,280
Speaker 10: left cloud of dust, that fill each other out seven

317
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 10: and a half I mean eight and nine for all

318
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:32,879
Speaker 10: intent and purpose, for an entire quarter. It's are dead numbers.

319
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:34,679
Speaker 10: It's going to take ten points or more for me

320
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 10: to lose. I think seven and a half under is

321
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:38,760
Speaker 10: a solid play.

322
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:42,399
Speaker 2: Well, you have two very good defenses as well, And

323
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 2: I like your point about the comparison to New England

324
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 2: and Buffalo, and much has been made about their schedule,

325
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:52,679
Speaker 2: but I did make an observation Scott, and knowing you

326
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:55,960
Speaker 2: you probably know all this. The Seahawks win eleven and

327
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,960
Speaker 2: one down stretch following their bye week they beat the

328
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 2: Commanders to Car Cardinals of Titans, the Vikings of Max Brosmer,

329
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 2: the Falcons with Kirk Cousins and no Drake London, the

330
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:09,880
Speaker 2: Colts with Philip Rivers coming out of retirement, the Panthers

331
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:12,880
Speaker 2: and the Niners twice they were severely injured. And the

332
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:15,800
Speaker 2: two games they beat the Rams, they were out yarded

333
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 2: by three hundred yards. So while the New England, It's true,

334
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 2: New England's, you know, schedule was not Murderer's role. If

335
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 2: you really take a deeper dive into Seattle schedule the

336
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:27,679
Speaker 2: last twelve games and going up against the type of

337
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:31,119
Speaker 2: defense that New Windland has, I think New England's not

338
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 2: really getting their spec they deserve. I'm not. I don't

339
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:36,200
Speaker 2: know they're going to win the game outright, but that's

340
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:37,640
Speaker 2: what draw drew me to the dog.

341
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 10: Your thoughts, well, I'm really happy to hear you say

342
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 10: that and recognize that and advertise it, because in August

343
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:50,480
Speaker 10: I had two teams valued at six figures on the

344
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 10: payday minus one sixty to make the playoffs, and it

345
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:56,159
Speaker 10: was two of the teams in the NFC West. No,

346
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 10: it wasn't Seattle. They had minus one sixty on the

347
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:01,440
Speaker 10: Rams to make the playoff. Ad mightus won sixty and

348
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 10: the Niners to make the playoffs. I'm telling you this

349
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 10: not to impress you, because I can tell that you're not.

350
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 10: I'm telling you this because strength of schedule, strands of schedule,

351
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 10: or lack thereof.

352
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 11: The same reason.

353
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 10: A couple three years ago, when that clown of a

354
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 10: coach Dable for the Giants one coach of the year

355
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 10: they had in the NFC East that year, those three teams,

356
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 10: three out of four made the playoffs because of a

357
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 10: cupcake schedule. Same way here with the NFC West, so

358
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:35,919
Speaker 10: you had a very easy non division schedule. It's not

359
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:39,160
Speaker 10: a coincidence, Bernie, that three teams out of four made

360
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:42,200
Speaker 10: the playoffs in the NFC West, conducive to what happened

361
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 10: with the NFC East when three of the four teams

362
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 10: made the playoffs. A few short years ago, when the

363
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 10: brain dead media from New York gave it to Dable,

364
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:55,359
Speaker 10: Siriotti won fifteen games, had the best record in football,

365
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 10: and you're talking about Dable and the Giants. They were

366
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:01,120
Speaker 10: the third best team out of fo or in their division.

367
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:04,360
Speaker 10: And that's why I don't trust and here's the other

368
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:07,640
Speaker 10: thing I don't trust, and you're gambling like I was right.

369
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:09,720
Speaker 10: I just thought it would be a landslide. The Patriots

370
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 10: had four wins last year, they improved by ten. They

371
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 10: improved by ten games with fourteen wins, and no one

372
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 10: respected Jacksonville more than me with their top rank rush defense.

373
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 10: But to only have three nineteen first place votes to

374
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:28,359
Speaker 10: sixteen for the Jacksonville coach, are you kidding me? I

375
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 10: don't trust the media. I don't trust the people voting.

376
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 2: I'm with you talking with Scott Frichard, one of the

377
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 2: most respected gamblers here well s fourts handicappers here in

378
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:41,399
Speaker 2: Las Vegas, part of all our great panels, and finished

379
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:44,160
Speaker 2: third the Circuit Invitational. I'm telling you that is not easy.

380
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:48,440
Speaker 2: By the way, one last thing and I'll get off

381
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:51,439
Speaker 2: of this. Did you know Scott did in the salary

382
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:54,960
Speaker 2: camp era in the Super Bowl? Dogs are seventeen and

383
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:58,919
Speaker 2: seven and thirteen and eleven outright, So I'm naturally in

384
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 2: the Doctic dogs covered five in a row, So you

385
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:04,640
Speaker 2: know that's where we're at. I don't need to beat

386
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 2: that beat that dog anymore. How's that for a pun.

387
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:10,879
Speaker 2: Let's get to some of your profs, Scott, what are

388
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:11,639
Speaker 2: some of the ones you like?

389
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 10: Well, before I get to that, I just want to

390
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 10: echo what you just said. Generally speaking, I do not

391
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 10: go into any game, Bernie and proactively say, Okay, I'm

392
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:21,800
Speaker 10: on the dog and I'm on the under. It just

393
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 10: so happens that, I would say a good sixty plus

394
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 10: percent of the time when I look at my when

395
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:29,120
Speaker 10: I'm charting my and i'm grading my tickets, I am

396
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 10: almost always on the dog. I certainly don't like laying

397
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:35,880
Speaker 10: dog points in the NFL number one, number two betting totals.

398
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:38,960
Speaker 10: I do tend to bet hunders more than overs, and

399
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:42,720
Speaker 10: I do have an opinion in this contest to my

400
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:45,639
Speaker 10: point plus five minus so five on the pass and

401
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:48,879
Speaker 10: under forty five and a half, so another prop that

402
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:51,440
Speaker 10: I like, in addition to the first quarter total points

403
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 10: under seven and a half. I really feel that, you know,

404
00:22:56,320 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 10: in today's analytics driven league, everybody is a Dan Campbell.

405
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:06,200
Speaker 10: Everybody just randomly goes for it automatically on fourth down. Well,

406
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:08,119
Speaker 10: these two teams are better than that, smarter than that.

407
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:10,359
Speaker 10: Maybe that's why they're in the super Bowl. These two

408
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:13,640
Speaker 10: teams will punt on fourth and two fourth and three,

409
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 10: fourth and fourth. I like the patch to punt more

410
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 10: than three and a half times over three and a

411
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:25,280
Speaker 10: half punts total for the Pats. I think there's that's

412
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 10: a good solid play as well.

413
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 2: We're in a complete agreement on this analytics nuts. It's

414
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 2: a guideline, not an inflexible anchor, and we could spend

415
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 2: our whole segment on that. Do you like any individual

416
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 2: player props? One of the ones that's getting real steam

417
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:45,240
Speaker 2: is he under Jackson Smith in Jigma. Well, at one

418
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:46,720
Speaker 2: point you could get it at ninety four and a

419
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 2: half yards. I think it's down to ninety one or

420
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 2: ninety two. Do you have any thoughts on that, Scott?

421
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 11: I do.

422
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:54,080
Speaker 10: And it's like when I went to the Super Bowl

423
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:58,840
Speaker 10: in Las Vegas when the Chiefs and the Niners play

424
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 10: town over time. It cost me ninety three hundred dollars

425
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 10: for my ticket and no regrets that I had to

426
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:07,359
Speaker 10: do it all over again. I was seventy seven hundred.

427
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 10: They charged me sixteen hundred dollars to make it holla.

428
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:11,120
Speaker 11: In C's Are you kid?

429
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:15,120
Speaker 10: No wonder to PayPal in these places? And Ticketmaster are

430
00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 10: in business for business. But I do like in that

431
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:23,480
Speaker 10: game as an example. You know, I just felt that

432
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:27,560
Speaker 10: Kelsey a star receiver tight end for the Kandisity Chiefs

433
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:30,960
Speaker 10: their best their leading guy in receptions for the year,

434
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 10: and the over under I forget. I think it was

435
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:36,959
Speaker 10: like seventy three and I hammered it, and I hammered

436
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:39,560
Speaker 10: it and I hammered it, and it closed sixty nine

437
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:42,879
Speaker 10: and at halftime he had a total of one yard.

438
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:46,720
Speaker 10: And I bring this up because a good coach a

439
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:50,720
Speaker 10: La Shanahan will negate and take away the top team's

440
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 10: best receiver. And the Niners had a good pash pass defense.

441
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:55,400
Speaker 11: That's the good news.

442
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:57,600
Speaker 10: The bad news is they played an extra quarter. It

443
00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 10: went overtime and I lost. But to your point, when

444
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:04,520
Speaker 10: you're talking about the star receiver for the Seattle Seahawks,

445
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:06,360
Speaker 10: I think Brabel there's the reason why he's a two

446
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:09,720
Speaker 10: time coach of the Year because he's smart, he's heady,

447
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 10: and he I mean, I'm thinking, hey, if you're going

448
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:15,960
Speaker 10: to lose, we're not going to lose because this guy

449
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 10: has two hundred yards and receptions in receiving yardage, all right,

450
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 10: So I did not play it. I do understand why

451
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:25,960
Speaker 10: there's been a move to the under to your point,

452
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:29,480
Speaker 10: and you're sharp to recognize that, So I agree with

453
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:31,720
Speaker 10: the move. Ultimately, you want to be on the move

454
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:35,080
Speaker 10: early or against it late, and I missed the early number,

455
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 10: so I'm going to respectfully pass. But I understand it.

456
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:38,640
Speaker 11: I like it.

457
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:41,640
Speaker 10: I like the under because again, Rabel will take that guy.

458
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:42,359
Speaker 11: I mean, he's going to.

459
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 12: Get his yardage.

460
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 7: He's too good.

461
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:47,120
Speaker 10: He's too good, not too but you're asking a lot

462
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:50,320
Speaker 10: to expect him to get ninety five plus yards in

463
00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:52,480
Speaker 10: a game where it's going to be conservative and it's

464
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 10: going to be no scoring and good defense for both teams.

465
00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:59,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel like, listen, one thing ra Abel learned is

466
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:01,960
Speaker 2: a Patriot was learn how to play the other team

467
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:05,399
Speaker 2: left handed, or make them play left handed. And so

468
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:08,199
Speaker 2: Jackson Smith and Jigbas is going to be such a

469
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:14,280
Speaker 2: huge part of that offense for Seattle that they got

470
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:15,719
Speaker 2: to put him in advice. I don't know if they

471
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 2: double him and then put Christigan Zalez on the second,

472
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 2: you know, maybe on Cooper Cup or however they do it.

473
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 2: I just feel like it's a situation where they're they're

474
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:28,479
Speaker 2: budgeting for this, so it's gonna be he's gonna look

475
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 2: at the work for his yards and you're not going

476
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:34,119
Speaker 2: to want to give up explosive plays. The other well,

477
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 2: the only other prop I bet actually was the Seattle

478
00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 2: team total of under twenty five and a half points

479
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 2: your thoughts on that.

480
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:45,359
Speaker 10: I like it. I mean, you know, twenty six twenty

481
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:49,199
Speaker 10: seven are such key, key key numbers, way more than

482
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 10: a twenty eight. Twenty six is thirteen, thirteen, sixteen, ten,

483
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:57,760
Speaker 10: twenty to sixth That's important. So I would have been

484
00:26:57,760 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 10: great if somehow, some way you were able to steal

485
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:03,119
Speaker 10: lyrics stort to twenty six or twenty seven. But yeah,

486
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:06,400
Speaker 10: I guess I'm asking for too much there. I understand

487
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:10,200
Speaker 10: the play. Conversely, I actually lean on the Pats under

488
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 10: twenty one and a half and I like that, And

489
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 10: that goes back to a correlation the fact that I

490
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 10: bet under forty five and a half. One other prop

491
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:26,399
Speaker 10: bet that I do like Bernie is interception Sam Donald

492
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 10: of the Seattle the guy you know, had a He's

493
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 10: played for five different teams in the last five years.

494
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:32,120
Speaker 11: I mean, let's give the guy.

495
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:35,080
Speaker 10: His credit was right there at the number one seed.

496
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:38,480
Speaker 10: They faded to five a year ago because of the allions.

497
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 10: But this guy the last three games has not turned

498
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:46,400
Speaker 10: the ball over. That is an anomaly because there's only

499
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 10: one guy in the entire league that led quarterbacks and turnovers,

500
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:53,720
Speaker 10: Sam Donald. So I think he's unborrowed time. He's due

501
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:57,600
Speaker 10: for at least one interception over under a half minus

502
00:27:57,600 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 10: a buck thirty. I see value there, Donald to have

503
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 10: an I int minus thirty centsus cheap, cheaper than your

504
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:04,919
Speaker 10: prom dates perfume.

505
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 2: A couple of quickies. I also leaned both quarterbacks and

506
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 2: under their passing yards the last time I checked Sam

507
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:17,720
Speaker 2: Donald or Chay Sam Donald's like around two twenty eight

508
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:20,960
Speaker 2: and Drake Mayby's around two twenty one. Do you have

509
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:21,760
Speaker 2: any thoughts on that?

510
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 7: Yeah?

511
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:27,320
Speaker 10: I have nothing there, but yeah, if you bet it,

512
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:29,560
Speaker 10: I hope you win and I wouldn't be surprised if

513
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:31,960
Speaker 10: you did, because you're a sharp. You're an advantage player

514
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:32,560
Speaker 10: for a reason.

515
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:38,720
Speaker 2: Last thing, Scott, will there be a two point attempt conversion?

516
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:42,760
Speaker 2: A conversion attempt? I believe there probably will be your thoughts?

517
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 10: Yeah, I would agree with that, but it's kind of

518
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:48,960
Speaker 10: intuitive because the money has come in on the no,

519
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 10: which lends itself to what you and I have been

520
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:53,520
Speaker 10: talking about both of these teams tend to play it

521
00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:55,560
Speaker 10: close to the vents. Both of these teams do not

522
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:58,880
Speaker 10: buy into the analytics. And I have one thing for sure.

523
00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:00,960
Speaker 10: They're certainly not going to be guilty of going for

524
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:04,640
Speaker 10: a two point conversion too early. And that's the mistake

525
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:06,320
Speaker 10: a lot of these guys made because they they are

526
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:08,480
Speaker 10: going for two points and it doesn't even matter if

527
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:12,040
Speaker 10: it's that they convert or not. The prop is will

528
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:16,200
Speaker 10: you attempt a two point conversion? And in the past

529
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 10: it's always been hech to the yes, but the money

530
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:21,440
Speaker 10: has come in on heck to the no. And I

531
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:24,200
Speaker 10: think it lends itself to the personality and the style

532
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:26,480
Speaker 10: of play by both of these teams and or coaches.

533
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:31,120
Speaker 2: So just so everybody knows. Back around week six, at

534
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:34,080
Speaker 2: our panel at Dom de Marco's, Scott said what the

535
00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:37,920
Speaker 2: Lions were doing was not sustainable. What the Colts were

536
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:42,240
Speaker 2: doing was not sustainable. Green Bay would win that division

537
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 2: and Buffalo would fade four for four, So people are

538
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:49,680
Speaker 2: gonna I don't know, Scott, what's your prediction on the

539
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:51,440
Speaker 2: Super Bowl? Can you do you want to give a

540
00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:55,240
Speaker 2: score for fun for giggles or what are your thoughts well.

541
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:57,680
Speaker 10: It's never for fun or giggles when it's involved our

542
00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:01,720
Speaker 10: hard earned money. The Las Vegas Review Journal, Yeah, it

543
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:04,160
Speaker 10: reached out to me to be about in that final

544
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:06,520
Speaker 10: quarter prediction, so I'm going to share it with you,

545
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:10,120
Speaker 10: my friend, my mentor, colleague and all around good guy.

546
00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 10: Twenty four to twenty Seahawks Winter Winter taking lots for

547
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:15,240
Speaker 10: dinner see the cashier.

548
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:19,800
Speaker 2: All right, so I can't lie. Maybe my bunions are

549
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:23,480
Speaker 2: acting up. I had to score twenty three to twenty Patriots.

550
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:27,680
Speaker 2: So anyway, it's all fun, I guess, until someone loses

551
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:31,480
Speaker 2: the night. But Scott, it's always a pleasure man. Continued success.

552
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 2: We'll see you around town. And I appreciate you coming

553

563
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:07,960
Speaker 2: where their mouth is. Trust me on that. It's no

Speaker 2: We are company Life from Las Vegas. Fox Sports Radio

594
00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:57,160
Speaker 2: fourteen minutes away from the clock. Strinky midnight. Literally here

595
00:32:57,200 --> 00:33:01,960
Speaker 2: in Las Vegas midnight. Figuratively, we are in the midnight hour,

596
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:03,920
Speaker 2: which means you get the last word. Perhaps where you

597
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:06,760
Speaker 2: live it's midnight as well. But we've gotten calls from

598
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:09,360
Speaker 2: all around the world, all around the country. Callers are great.

599
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:16,000
Speaker 2: We've gotten calls from Japan, Ireland, Australia, London, and Detroit.

600
00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:17,760
Speaker 2: I guess, well, that's not a foreign country. I can

601
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 2: say that because I'm from there. But all right, so

602
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:24,600
Speaker 2: we set this up with three topics, and I love

603
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:28,040
Speaker 2: to hear the folks thoughts. Sometimes three topics can morph

604
00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:30,040
Speaker 2: into it sounds like five. I know last week we

605
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:33,440
Speaker 2: were talking about I was ripping Lebron because he said

606
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:35,680
Speaker 2: it was much easier to play in the eighties, And

607
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:38,200
Speaker 2: somehow that got morphed into people thinking, well, he could

608
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:39,640
Speaker 2: have played in the eighties. That's not what I was

609
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:42,120
Speaker 2: talking about. I don't deny that. I'm not coulda have

610
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:46,040
Speaker 2: played in any era. But he was bitching and morning

611
00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:47,600
Speaker 2: about how much easier it was to play in the

612
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 2: eighties eighty two games, and it is now. I'm not

613
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:54,160
Speaker 2: buying that. So anyway, That's how sometimes three topics can

614
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:57,200
Speaker 2: sound like five or six. But if we stay on point,

615
00:33:57,480 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 2: we can still give a lot of latitude. But let's

616
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:04,720
Speaker 2: start with I think the topic dujure number one. We

617
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:07,280
Speaker 2: have to talk about Sam Donald. I want your thoughts.

618
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:13,319
Speaker 2: Does Sam Donald still deserve the stigma of a guy

619
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:16,680
Speaker 2: that people are waiting for the other shoe to drop?

620
00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:20,040
Speaker 2: Is that fair? I mean, he's thirty one and six.

621
00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:23,359
Speaker 2: In his last two years, he's only had three playoff games,

622
00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:25,799
Speaker 2: he won two, and he's done a lot. Now, I

623
00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:28,879
Speaker 2: get it. I get it. Coming out in New York

624
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:32,200
Speaker 2: he created a bus narrative, and that's sort of this

625
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:35,760
Speaker 2: continued motif, as it were, even though he was thirty

626
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:38,520
Speaker 2: one and six the last two years he threw a

627
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:40,840
Speaker 2: bunch of interceptions in New York, he was thirteen and

628
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:43,759
Speaker 2: twenty five. But now he's on his fifteen And I

629
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:45,680
Speaker 2: know we had some earlier games in the year where

630
00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:49,560
Speaker 2: he was considered inconsistent. He had a lot of strong performances,

631
00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:51,360
Speaker 2: but there were some games where we had limited output.

632
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:56,319
Speaker 2: He's faced criticism for a high rate of turnovers in

633
00:34:56,360 --> 00:35:00,120
Speaker 2: his efficiency like most quarterbacks declines if the offense of

634
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:03,120
Speaker 2: line struggles or if he's not in maybe a perfect system.

635
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:06,600
Speaker 2: And he's been, you know, criticized for poor performance and high,

636
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:09,719
Speaker 2: high pressure games. Why does Matt Stafford get a Hall pass?

637
00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:11,840
Speaker 2: You weren't there at Detroit to see what I saw.

638
00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:15,399
Speaker 2: I don't dislike Matt, but he gets a Hall pass.

639
00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:18,560
Speaker 2: He's still more six picks, you know, the pick six

640
00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:21,080
Speaker 2: is anybody in history? I don't want to get off

641
00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:24,400
Speaker 2: on that. Look. Does Sam Darnell deserve scrutiny due to

642
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:29,480
Speaker 2: his consistency or check at his history of inconsistent games,

643
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:33,200
Speaker 2: high turnover games sometimes in conducial games. But hasn't he

644
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:36,600
Speaker 2: turned it around? Hasney thrived in a more stable environment

645
00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:40,800
Speaker 2: with his better supporting cast and coaching staff. His actoracy

646
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:46,120
Speaker 2: is improved, his leadership, everybody loves him, So it's become

647
00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:48,600
Speaker 2: fashionable to kind of hate on Sam. I mean some

648
00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:50,359
Speaker 2: of some of the things I heard throughout the week.

649
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:52,480
Speaker 2: I don't know, man. I think Seattle's gonna win, but

650
00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:54,439
Speaker 2: I don't know if I can trust Sam. I got

651
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:58,760
Speaker 2: reservations about Sam. I'm afraid you'll commit turnovers. And Dominic

652
00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:02,719
Speaker 2: Foxworth even said on our airways, let's not forget he

653
00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:04,920
Speaker 2: had a bad second half of the scene. Okay, stop

654
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:09,319
Speaker 2: stop day. So my question to the callers eight seven, seven,

655
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:13,480
Speaker 2: nine ninety six six three sixty nine, does Sam still

656
00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:17,680
Speaker 2: really deserve that scrutiny and stigma or does he deserve

657
00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 2: the benefit of the doubt Because wind Loser draws Sunday,

658
00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:23,200
Speaker 2: I'm telling you it's going to be like a mandate

659
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:27,000
Speaker 2: on the rest of his career. So he just it

660
00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:29,840
Speaker 2: just seems like it's more fashionable to give him extra scrutiny.

661
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:36,760
Speaker 2: Number two, there's an old saying greatness needs no self promotion,

662
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:41,040
Speaker 2: and I don't think anybody promotes himself more than Lebron.

663
00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:45,759
Speaker 2: And there's a great famous athlete, he just turned fifty

664
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:48,719
Speaker 2: years old last December, and his legacy security by the

665
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:52,840
Speaker 2: name of Eldrick Woods. Tiger Woods. Hey of all of

666
00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:56,560
Speaker 2: Tiger's foibles, and he had him and his issues, and

667
00:36:56,600 --> 00:36:59,840
Speaker 2: he had him. He was never into self a brand

668
00:36:59,840 --> 00:37:04,080
Speaker 2: eye that I can see. He might have had ninety

669
00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:07,239
Speaker 2: nine issues, but self for grandizement wasn't one. But man,

670
00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:10,000
Speaker 2: he came off the top rope last week at Lebron.

671
00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:14,319
Speaker 2: I'm gonna read the quote. Quote. Lebron James should never

672
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:18,160
Speaker 2: be mentioned in the goat debate. Mj is clearly the

673
00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:21,360
Speaker 2: greatest basketball player of all time. Kobe is a close second,

674
00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:25,319
Speaker 2: but Lebron isn't even in my top ten. I'm not

675
00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:28,160
Speaker 2: asking you to rank Lebron. I'm asking you to defend

676
00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:31,560
Speaker 2: Lebron or bachel Lebron at all. What I am asking is,

677
00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:35,799
Speaker 2: why would Tiger Woods say this, apparently on an unsolicited basis.

678
00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:41,000
Speaker 2: And I'm not bashing Tiger either. Again, Tiger's quote Lebron

679
00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:45,160
Speaker 2: James should never be mentioned in the goat debate. Michael

680
00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:47,959
Speaker 2: Jordan is clearly the greatest basketball player of all time.

681
00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:51,239
Speaker 2: Kobe is a close second, but Lebron isn't even in

682
00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:54,239
Speaker 2: my top ten. That's a quote from Tiger Woods. Well,

683
00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:56,160
Speaker 2: I didn't hear it come out of his mouth, so

684
00:37:56,480 --> 00:38:01,920
Speaker 2: you know, we'll use the proverbial allegedly, but I have

685
00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:06,000
Speaker 2: no I don't have any qualms about repeating it because

686
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:10,560
Speaker 2: apparently that's what Tiger said. So that's topic number two.

687
00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:14,000
Speaker 2: Why do you think Tiger phelt compelled to say that

688
00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:16,759
Speaker 2: he doesn't get anything for it? And by the way,

689
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:21,520
Speaker 2: certainly you know this is America, speak your mind. Tiger

690
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:26,759
Speaker 2: Stanford educated, it's very articulate, and he has interesting worldviews.

691
00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:31,040
Speaker 2: He's a very complex person. He's fifty years old. Now,

692
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:34,319
Speaker 2: he ain't gonna catch Jack Nicholas. But let me tell you,

693
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:37,600
Speaker 2: for two decades or a decade and a half, he

694
00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:40,719
Speaker 2: was certainly front and center in the golf world and

695
00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:43,920
Speaker 2: had the attention and adulation that Lebron can only dream of.

696
00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 2: And by the way, I'm not disavowing any of Lebron's achievements.

697
00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:50,880
Speaker 2: Man's won four championships with three different teams. But he

698
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:56,160
Speaker 2: carries himself on with his nauseatingly self aggrandizing you know,

699
00:38:56,360 --> 00:39:00,600
Speaker 2: persona and says he speaks on issues that he thinks

700
00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:05,400
Speaker 2: he's knowledgeable on. I don't buy that, but I'm a

701
00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:07,920
Speaker 2: little baffled why Tiger Woods would do this. I'm not

702
00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:10,800
Speaker 2: putting him down for it, not defending it. I'm just curious.

703
00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:14,160
Speaker 2: We all know it's against the law to practice psychology,

704
00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:16,520
Speaker 2: not a license, right, but we do it a lot

705
00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:20,040
Speaker 2: on the show. Why not? It's fun? So try to

706
00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:23,319
Speaker 2: get the Tiger's mind. Tell me what you know? What

707
00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:26,000
Speaker 2: was he thinking? Why did he really why does he

708
00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:29,600
Speaker 2: really feel this way? Has he just been observing Lebron's

709
00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:32,480
Speaker 2: desperation to be the comedian that hangs on too long

710
00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:35,200
Speaker 2: tails one too many jokes? I mean, if you really eat,

711
00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:37,640
Speaker 2: I'll eat my words with a fork and knife. If

712
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:41,359
Speaker 2: Lebron retires after this year, ain't no chance I'll eat

713
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:45,000
Speaker 2: my words. You got a better chance of a Led

714
00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:47,680
Speaker 2: Zeppelin re recording the Gilligan's Island theme song. I'm selling

715
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:50,319
Speaker 2: a million of copies by Tuesday than Lebron retired. He's

716
00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:52,640
Speaker 2: gonna end up somewhere next year. And you know, maybe

717
00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:56,000
Speaker 2: it's Cleveland. I don't know, maybe it's the Washington Generals

718
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:58,399
Speaker 2: with red cloth, But he ain't going away. He wants

719
00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:00,960
Speaker 2: his farewell tour, which some people are calling a good

720
00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:03,680
Speaker 2: riddance to her. Now Tiger, people want more Tiger, they

721
00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:05,640
Speaker 2: want less of Lebron. I don't know why I want you.

722
00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:09,120
Speaker 2: I want you to practice amateur psychology. Whye to Tiger?

723
00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:15,120
Speaker 2: Woods feel compelled to make a pretty salacious statement. So

724
00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:19,160
Speaker 2: topic number one, Sam Darnold, after everything he's done, good,

725
00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:21,840
Speaker 2: bad and different, does he still deserve the stigma of

726
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:24,360
Speaker 2: the guy where some people are just waiting for the

727
00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:27,560
Speaker 2: other shoot to drop or does he deserve the benefit

728
00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:29,680
Speaker 2: of the doubt? Two? White to Tiger? Woulds make those

729
00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:33,560
Speaker 2: comments about Lebron James? Three? Have you ever heard of Gopuff?

730
00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:36,920
Speaker 2: Go Puff's an American consumer goods company out of Philadelphia,

731
00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:39,080
Speaker 2: and they're put their money where their mouth is. They're

732
00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:42,080
Speaker 2: partnered with Tom Brady to launch something called the Super

733
00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:45,920
Speaker 2: Monday Off Coalition. This is real. They want to replace

734
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:49,400
Speaker 2: Super Monday and the office slump with a holiday. Do

735
00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:53,160
Speaker 2: you believe Super Bowl Monday should be a holiday? Yes

736
00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:57,000
Speaker 2: or no? Just real simple yes or no? Should super

737
00:40:57,000 --> 00:40:59,480
Speaker 2: Bowl Monday be a holiday? Go Puff thinks so, So

738
00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:02,239
Speaker 2: we got Sam Donald Number one. You know what to do.

739
00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:05,640
Speaker 2: We've got Tiger Woods, Lebron number two and Super Bowl

740
00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:12,279
Speaker 2: Monday number three eight seven seven. But that's right, you

741
00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:15,080
Speaker 2: heard the man. Bernie Frader show keeps rolling right along.

742

Speaker 2: Pacific six am Eastern and yes three topics, Sam Donald?

745
00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:32,279
Speaker 2: Does he still deserve the scrutiny for people waiting for

746
00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:34,759
Speaker 2: the shooter drop? Or does he deserve the benefit of

747
00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:38,040
Speaker 2: the doubt? Tiger Woods? How about those comments about Lebron James.

748
00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:43,600
Speaker 2: What do you think prompted Tiger to be so bombastic? Interesting?

749
00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:47,360
Speaker 2: And go puff? The company out of Philadelphia that's sponsoring

750
00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:49,839
Speaker 2: a super Uh well, I don't know what the hell

751
00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:52,399
Speaker 2: they're calling it a no super super Bowl Monday Off

752
00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:55,520
Speaker 2: Coal litionener Super Monday Off. Do you think the Monday

753
00:41:55,520 --> 00:41:58,600
Speaker 2: after the Super Bowl should be a national holiday? Yep,

754
00:41:58,719 --> 00:42:07,960
Speaker 2: it's time for the midnight hour. Why's your jam? I

Speaker 14: Buddy, Hey, Bernie, what's going on?

758
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:15,600
Speaker 7: Sam Donald?

759
00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:20,480
Speaker 14: If he wins, everything's forgotten. If he loses, it's just

760
00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:21,960
Speaker 14: going to magnify times ten.

761
00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:26,719
Speaker 2: So you know the of the question, because I don't

762
00:42:26,719 --> 00:42:28,719
Speaker 2: know if that's fair, you know, but you're I think

763
00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:31,120
Speaker 2: you're right. I think your perception is right. Jim.

764
00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:33,840
Speaker 14: Yeah, you know, your beauty is in the eye of

765
00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:36,880
Speaker 14: the and you're only as good as your last performance,

766
00:42:36,960 --> 00:42:41,920
Speaker 14: you know, uh, Lebron Lebron And Tiger. You know, Tiger

767
00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:45,240
Speaker 14: had enough, like the rest of society, you know, listening

768
00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:48,799
Speaker 14: to him spout off saying stupid things. I wish you'd

769
00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:51,480
Speaker 14: just retired, but we're not going to be blessed with that.

770
00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:55,239
Speaker 14: And why did Tiger say it? Is because all that

771
00:42:55,280 --> 00:42:59,200
Speaker 14: guy does is blast people that came before him. That's

772
00:42:59,239 --> 00:43:01,920
Speaker 14: set the state thank you for him, you know, to

773
00:43:01,960 --> 00:43:04,440
Speaker 14: make the money he's got, he should be thanking bird

774
00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:07,560
Speaker 14: Magic and all those guys for his fortune. But he

775
00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:10,839
Speaker 14: won't do that. He's just so self centered. He just

776
00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:11,520
Speaker 14: can't help it.

777
00:43:11,560 --> 00:43:11,759
Speaker 7: You know.

778
00:43:12,080 --> 00:43:14,880
Speaker 14: It's just as in his DNA. There's nothing you can

779
00:43:14,920 --> 00:43:15,359
Speaker 14: do about it.

780
00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:18,280
Speaker 2: Very self served, no question, and of all at tigers

781
00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:21,320
Speaker 2: foibles self a grandement doesn't see to be part of

782
00:43:21,360 --> 00:43:23,239
Speaker 2: his game. So maybe he just had enough because he

783
00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:26,280
Speaker 2: really came off the top row. Should Super Bowl Monday

784
00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:26,800
Speaker 2: be a holiday?

785
00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:31,759
Speaker 14: Jim, you can put Super Bowl Monday holiday right up.

786
00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:37,160
Speaker 14: There was allowing sixteen year olds to vote. All right, no, no, no,

787
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:41,680
Speaker 14: you know, business and everything has nothing to do with sports.

788
00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:43,239
Speaker 14: So what are you gonna What do you say after

789
00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:45,479
Speaker 14: game seven the World Series? You want to day off?

790
00:43:45,719 --> 00:43:50,200
Speaker 14: After game seven? Oh, World Cup? Pick a sport. Now

791
00:43:50,520 --> 00:43:53,359
Speaker 14: get up and go to work, you know, take the game,

792
00:43:53,440 --> 00:43:58,960
Speaker 14: do whatever you gotta do, you know, and you know

793
00:43:59,200 --> 00:44:01,600
Speaker 14: I don't want to pop bubble, but it's going to

794
00:44:01,640 --> 00:44:03,920
Speaker 14: be Seahawks twenty seven, New England seventeen.

795
00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:06,600
Speaker 2: All right, well, we'll hear from you again next week there, Bud,

796
00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:09,319
Speaker 2: you may, I'll give you your props. Thanks Jim. And

797
00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:12,160
Speaker 2: by the way, just so people know it's sometimes they

798
00:44:12,160 --> 00:44:15,320
Speaker 2: call it super sick Monday. There have been studies done

799
00:44:15,719 --> 00:44:19,640
Speaker 2: about twenty six million, twenty seven million employees we'll call

800
00:44:19,719 --> 00:44:22,240
Speaker 2: in sick or miswork Monday, and they say it creates

801
00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:25,600
Speaker 2: about a five billion dollar hit to productivity. Jim's right.

802
00:44:26,040 --> 00:44:28,960
Speaker 2: He's also a little pragmatic, because human beings aren't always

803
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:33,120
Speaker 2: the most pragmatic of a species. Andrew and Bakersfield welcome in.

804
00:44:33,120 --> 00:44:33,760
Speaker 2: How are Andrew?

805
00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:35,319
Speaker 15: What's up?

806
00:44:35,360 --> 00:44:41,239
Speaker 16: Bernie? So for sim Donald, when Minnesota traded him or

807
00:44:41,239 --> 00:44:44,200
Speaker 16: allowed him, you know, to go to the Seahawks, I

808
00:44:44,239 --> 00:44:48,600
Speaker 16: thought that that was a big mistake. And it's funny,

809
00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:51,640
Speaker 16: you know, the media sports talk could sus they go

810
00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:54,480
Speaker 16: up and down, and I understand you got to have

811
00:44:54,719 --> 00:44:59,520
Speaker 16: something to talk about sometimes. But that's my thought on

812
00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:00,799
Speaker 16: Donald Minnesota.

813
00:45:00,920 --> 00:45:02,799
Speaker 2: I still don't know if you think he just grooves there?

814
00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:05,759
Speaker 2: Does he just groove the screw? Oh my god, be nice?

815
00:45:05,760 --> 00:45:08,319
Speaker 2: If I can speak English tonight. Does he deserve the

816
00:45:08,360 --> 00:45:10,680
Speaker 2: scrutiny he's getting or more benefit of the doubts?

817
00:45:12,239 --> 00:45:14,400
Speaker 16: There can be scrutiny on him, But I don't agree

818
00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:15,960
Speaker 16: with the he's terrible.

819
00:45:16,080 --> 00:45:18,960
Speaker 2: He's terrible, all right, fair enough, that's over the top,

820
00:45:19,080 --> 00:45:21,399
Speaker 2: all right, Tiger Woods, Lebron James, Why do you think

821
00:45:21,440 --> 00:45:22,000
Speaker 2: Tiger did it?

822
00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:25,919
Speaker 16: Okay, I didn't hear what Tiger said, But my thought

823
00:45:26,080 --> 00:45:30,120
Speaker 16: just was when you were talking about Lebron, like, who cares?

824
00:45:29,840 --> 00:45:32,680
Speaker 16: Let you know, who cares what he says? Really like?

825
00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:36,400
Speaker 16: But I didn't hear what Tiger said.

826
00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:38,239
Speaker 2: All right, Well, I'm gonna have to I'm gonna have

827
00:45:38,239 --> 00:45:40,879
Speaker 2: to move on that one. There big fellow. Should Super

828
00:45:40,880 --> 00:45:42,040
Speaker 2: Bowl Monday be a holiday?

829
00:45:42,880 --> 00:45:46,279
Speaker 16: I would I would agree with Jim and say no, no,

830
00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:47,160
Speaker 16: I don't think all right.

831
00:45:47,239 --> 00:45:49,480
Speaker 2: I respect both of you guys, I hear you. And

832
00:45:50,360 --> 00:45:52,480
Speaker 2: now that this thanks to Andrew. Now that this company

833
00:45:52,680 --> 00:45:56,239
Speaker 2: Gopuff with their consumer goods company out of Philadelphia, they're

834
00:45:56,280 --> 00:45:59,279
Speaker 2: behind this big push Solomon and Los Angeles. Welcome back.

835
00:45:59,320 --> 00:45:59,920
Speaker 2: And how are.

836
00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:02,279
Speaker 7: You, hey, Bernie? I'm good. Yeah.

837
00:46:02,280 --> 00:46:09,040
Speaker 3: I love your three topics tonight, First on Sam sounds

838
00:46:09,120 --> 00:46:12,399
Speaker 3: and get off the kids case and nothing is enough?

839
00:46:12,960 --> 00:46:15,279
Speaker 3: What does his kid have to do? He beat the

840
00:46:15,360 --> 00:46:17,640
Speaker 3: Rams twice to beat him in the regular.

841
00:46:17,280 --> 00:46:19,719
Speaker 7: Season, and then he came back and beat him on

842
00:46:20,320 --> 00:46:24,359
Speaker 7: championship weekend. So I cut the kids some slack.

843
00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:26,400
Speaker 11: And I wish him the best.

844
00:46:26,560 --> 00:46:29,600
Speaker 7: You know, I think it's a little overdone.

845
00:46:29,920 --> 00:46:33,520
Speaker 2: I'm with you. I think it's overdone and he deserves

846
00:46:33,520 --> 00:46:36,200
Speaker 2: more of the benefit of the doubt. Thoughts on Tiger

847
00:46:36,239 --> 00:46:38,800
Speaker 2: Wood's comments on Lebron James, why do you think he

848
00:46:38,880 --> 00:46:40,279
Speaker 2: did it? What motivated him to do it?

849
00:46:41,640 --> 00:46:43,279
Speaker 7: Jill, Let's see that.

850
00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:49,600
Speaker 2: You know, so you think Tiger's jealous of Lebron only because.

851
00:46:49,280 --> 00:46:53,600
Speaker 3: Of the longevity he's been able to do this and

852
00:46:53,680 --> 00:46:57,880
Speaker 3: still somewhat dominates his sport for so long like no

853
00:46:58,040 --> 00:46:58,840
Speaker 3: other athlete.

854
00:46:59,640 --> 00:46:59,960
Speaker 7: Tiger.

855
00:47:00,520 --> 00:47:02,160
Speaker 3: You know, I love the guy in his crime, but

856
00:47:02,800 --> 00:47:06,040
Speaker 3: you know, he went, he went downhill and he's never recovers.

857
00:47:06,440 --> 00:47:09,920
Speaker 7: But it's also a subjective versus objective. If you don't like.

858
00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:11,360
Speaker 3: The guy, I understand it.

859
00:47:11,480 --> 00:47:12,840
Speaker 7: That's a subjective thing.

860
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:16,000
Speaker 3: But you've got to be a little objective to say

861
00:47:16,120 --> 00:47:16,960
Speaker 3: he's not even the.

862
00:47:17,800 --> 00:47:20,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, that that that that's what. That's what prompted me

863
00:47:20,440 --> 00:47:24,640
Speaker 2: to have this topic, uh, Solomon, because he said, you know,

864
00:47:25,120 --> 00:47:28,400
Speaker 2: he's not even in the top ten, so what you

865
00:47:28,440 --> 00:47:32,399
Speaker 2: know what place of angst? And you know, I am

866
00:47:32,440 --> 00:47:34,680
Speaker 2: an animus? Is that is that coming from? Do you

867
00:47:34,680 --> 00:47:37,960
Speaker 2: think Super Bowl Monday should be a holiday? Solomon?

868
00:47:38,960 --> 00:47:41,400
Speaker 7: No, I mean I think we're kind of overdoing. And

869
00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:43,839
Speaker 7: then looks I love sports. You know, it's my it's

870
00:47:43,840 --> 00:47:46,239
Speaker 7: my drug. I don't do drugs. I do sports.

871
00:47:46,520 --> 00:47:49,520
Speaker 3: When the whistle blows on Super Bowl Sunday, the game

872
00:47:49,640 --> 00:47:50,000
Speaker 3: is over.

873
00:47:50,160 --> 00:47:51,239
Speaker 7: You can discuss it on.

874
00:47:51,160 --> 00:47:54,319
Speaker 3: Monday twenty four seven. And it's so and super Bowl

875
00:47:54,360 --> 00:47:56,520
Speaker 3: has already become an unofficial holiday.

876
00:47:57,400 --> 00:47:58,200
Speaker 7: Enough is enough.

877
00:47:58,239 --> 00:47:59,840
Speaker 3: I think we're just going to have to let it

878
00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:02,880
Speaker 3: ride on Monday. But he's a holiday on Monday.

879
00:48:03,040 --> 00:48:05,600
Speaker 2: That's my That's all stuff, Andrews. So you guys are

880
00:48:05,600 --> 00:48:09,879
Speaker 2: three for three, Jim, Andrew and Solomon. Enjoy your Super

881
00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:14,360
Speaker 2: Bowl Sunday. Buddy Spock's weed my man calling from Oregon

882
00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:18,759
Speaker 2: about to win his fourth straight Surewood Elk's super Bowl

883
00:48:18,880 --> 00:48:19,480
Speaker 2: chili cooker.

884
00:48:21,560 --> 00:48:22,120
Speaker 7: I sure hope.

885
00:48:22,200 --> 00:48:24,680
Speaker 8: So I'm whipping the votes as we speak.

886
00:48:26,120 --> 00:48:28,759
Speaker 2: All right. So they led off with Sam Donald. Your

887
00:48:28,800 --> 00:48:30,359
Speaker 2: thoughts all right now?

888
00:48:30,719 --> 00:48:31,640
Speaker 11: Sam, Sam Donald.

889
00:48:31,719 --> 00:48:32,680
Speaker 6: He's got a history.

890
00:48:33,040 --> 00:48:36,040
Speaker 8: He's got a history, and of course it's it's it's

891
00:48:36,080 --> 00:48:38,959
Speaker 8: fine to speculate on whether he's gonna, you know, choke

892
00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:41,640
Speaker 8: in the playoffs. He'll show what he's gonna do. I

893
00:48:41,680 --> 00:48:44,279
Speaker 8: think he's gotten better with experience. You know, he saw

894
00:48:44,280 --> 00:48:46,399
Speaker 8: a ghosts. You know, early in his.

895
00:48:46,320 --> 00:48:48,799
Speaker 2: Career, Matt Stafford had a history. Why does he get it?

896
00:48:48,800 --> 00:48:50,919
Speaker 2: Why does he get all pass Yeah?

897
00:48:50,960 --> 00:48:53,640
Speaker 8: Well, because Matt Stafford suffered so long in Detroit.

898
00:48:53,680 --> 00:48:56,040
Speaker 2: No, he didn't suffer. I was there. He went to

899
00:48:56,160 --> 00:48:59,240
Speaker 2: four place, they had three playoff teams, and he sucked

900
00:48:59,520 --> 00:49:02,000
Speaker 2: during the playoffs. I'll tell you, let's not go down

901
00:49:02,040 --> 00:49:04,640
Speaker 2: that road. Let's just stay on point because I was

902
00:49:04,680 --> 00:49:07,200
Speaker 2: there and this media narrative they had nothing to work

903
00:49:07,239 --> 00:49:10,319
Speaker 2: with is false. It's false, and you know, I love you, man,

904
00:49:10,360 --> 00:49:12,000
Speaker 2: but I go ahead.

905
00:49:12,280 --> 00:49:14,720
Speaker 8: I apologize, Bernie. I don't know what I'm talking about.

906
00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:16,640
Speaker 8: Sometimes I don't, and you know.

907
00:49:16,520 --> 00:49:19,720
Speaker 2: That I would not lay that on you. You're merely

908
00:49:19,760 --> 00:49:22,960
Speaker 2: repeating what you've heard every talk to him. Yeah, So

909
00:49:23,239 --> 00:49:26,440
Speaker 2: the bottom line is you're saying, and I accepted that

910
00:49:26,640 --> 00:49:31,680
Speaker 2: Sam is worthy of this kind of scrutiny because frankly,

911
00:49:32,120 --> 00:49:34,279
Speaker 2: it's hard to unsee what you saw before. He said

912
00:49:34,520 --> 00:49:35,959
Speaker 2: he's reached success. Is that fair?

913
00:49:36,840 --> 00:49:40,120
Speaker 8: That that is fair? But but I think that Sam

914
00:49:40,200 --> 00:49:44,879
Speaker 8: Darnolds has improved and he's got a better team around him.

915
00:49:45,480 --> 00:49:45,760
Speaker 6: Wrong.

916
00:49:46,560 --> 00:49:50,799
Speaker 2: No other quarterbacks had back to back hears anyway, fair enough? Yeah,

917
00:49:50,800 --> 00:49:54,000
Speaker 2: by the way, yeah, all right, let's get to Tiger Woods.

918
00:49:54,000 --> 00:49:58,080
Speaker 2: Why do you think he was so bombastic about Lebron Well,

919
00:49:58,120 --> 00:49:58,720
Speaker 2: it's it's.

920
00:49:58,600 --> 00:50:00,799
Speaker 8: Like all these all these movies, winning them cells for

921
00:50:00,840 --> 00:50:03,920
Speaker 8: the Oscar that he get tired of it and Tiger

922
00:50:03,960 --> 00:50:06,040
Speaker 8: Woods is just as human as the rest of us,

923
00:50:06,520 --> 00:50:10,080
Speaker 8: and he, you know, he says, good God, why can't

924
00:50:10,120 --> 00:50:14,480
Speaker 8: this guy just stuff it? Sometimes? And you know, nobody

925
00:50:14,480 --> 00:50:17,359
Speaker 8: has been a greater self promoter than Lebron James. If

926
00:50:17,400 --> 00:50:20,640
Speaker 8: he was a marketer, he'd be a ten time billionaire,

927
00:50:20,880 --> 00:50:24,520
Speaker 8: and he is already. And I think that Tiger Woods,

928
00:50:24,560 --> 00:50:26,640
Speaker 8: just like the rest of us, just got fed up.

929
00:50:26,640 --> 00:50:30,000
Speaker 8: He went overboard, you know, he did a little little

930
00:50:30,800 --> 00:50:34,280
Speaker 8: overton window, as you would say, and got a little

931
00:50:34,280 --> 00:50:37,399
Speaker 8: over his skis because Lebron is at least top three,

932
00:50:37,600 --> 00:50:39,600
Speaker 8: and I hate to admit it, that's but I think

933
00:50:39,640 --> 00:50:42,680
Speaker 8: it's true. And he just he got sick of him

934
00:50:42,719 --> 00:50:45,120
Speaker 8: like the rest of us do. So Tiger Woods is

935
00:50:45,120 --> 00:50:48,640
Speaker 8: a human being and he just just just got tired

936
00:50:48,640 --> 00:50:48,759
Speaker 8: of this.

937
00:50:49,280 --> 00:50:51,520
Speaker 2: He reached his threshold, all right. To see if you

938
00:50:51,560 --> 00:50:55,439
Speaker 2: go four for four? My man? Is should super Bowl

939
00:50:55,480 --> 00:50:56,240
Speaker 2: on to be a holiday?

940
00:50:57,640 --> 00:50:59,560
Speaker 8: Super Bowl? Mon, they should not be a holiday. If

941
00:50:59,600 --> 00:51:02,840
Speaker 8: you can't drink yourself into a stupor and get to

942
00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:05,160
Speaker 8: get to work the next day, then that's on you

943
00:51:05,200 --> 00:51:07,839
Speaker 8: and your employer needs to find somebody that's got tougher skin.

944
00:51:08,320 --> 00:51:10,759
Speaker 8: I want drink a picture and a half of Margarita

945
00:51:10,840 --> 00:51:12,680
Speaker 8: is on a Wednesday, and I went back to work

946
00:51:12,719 --> 00:51:14,520
Speaker 8: when I'm supposed to. I had a limo there and

947
00:51:14,640 --> 00:51:18,920
Speaker 8: back and you know that's that's just the stones. You

948
00:51:19,200 --> 00:51:21,000
Speaker 8: got to have to take you with me. Now, if

949
00:51:21,080 --> 00:51:24,040
Speaker 8: you want a holiday, maybe trade some other holiday like

950
00:51:24,080 --> 00:51:26,880
Speaker 8: Columbus Day or because it's the banks in the post

951
00:51:26,880 --> 00:51:32,680
Speaker 8: office that wants extra holidays. Anyway, Tom tom Brady, who's

952
00:51:33,239 --> 00:51:36,959
Speaker 8: pot rooting this also, I mean he promoted Sam Brinkman.

953
00:51:36,680 --> 00:51:40,480
Speaker 2: Fried's you know crack Tom Brady is part of this promotion.

954
00:51:40,600 --> 00:51:45,560
Speaker 2: He's partnered with this gill Puff organization. Good luck in

955
00:51:45,640 --> 00:51:48,399
Speaker 2: your contest tomorrow, buddy, Okay, I don't mean to be short.

956
00:51:48,440 --> 00:51:50,560
Speaker 2: We just got to get to all these callers. Spots

957
00:51:50,560 --> 00:51:53,760
Speaker 2: Weed my man, loyal listener to the show, good caller,

958
00:51:53,880 --> 00:51:57,400
Speaker 2: all around. Good dude, Andre in Massachusetts, always welcome.

959
00:51:57,440 --> 00:52:01,239
Speaker 17: Good to hear from me again, doing Bernie, thanks for

960
00:52:01,280 --> 00:52:03,560
Speaker 17: taking the call. Listen, Sam Donald, he needs to go

961
00:52:03,600 --> 00:52:04,560
Speaker 17: out and have a big game.

962
00:52:04,640 --> 00:52:05,520
Speaker 11: This is his moment.

963
00:52:05,760 --> 00:52:08,600
Speaker 17: He cannot allow Drake May the Young Lion to come

964
00:52:08,640 --> 00:52:11,399
Speaker 17: in and steal his thunder, right, we can't. We got

965
00:52:11,400 --> 00:52:14,440
Speaker 17: to have a situation because we remember when Tom Brady

966
00:52:14,640 --> 00:52:16,879
Speaker 17: went and stole Patrick Mahomes thunder and that.

967
00:52:16,880 --> 00:52:18,879
Speaker 5: Super Bowl when he got his seventh championship.

968
00:52:19,200 --> 00:52:21,640
Speaker 17: Chiefs came into that game as the favorite, but they

969
00:52:21,680 --> 00:52:24,600
Speaker 17: had Mahomes running scared for his life ball game and

970
00:52:24,600 --> 00:52:26,200
Speaker 17: Tom Brady was able to get it. So there's much

971
00:52:26,200 --> 00:52:29,440
Speaker 17: more pressure on Donald. Obviously, I'm calling for the Commonwealth,

972
00:52:29,520 --> 00:52:31,120
Speaker 17: so I got no time for the Seahawks. I want

973
00:52:31,160 --> 00:52:32,840
Speaker 17: the Patriot and went all the way. But it is

974
00:52:32,880 --> 00:52:36,399
Speaker 17: the pressurize moment for him. He needs to play well.

975
00:52:36,520 --> 00:52:39,960
Speaker 17: Your second topic, Bernie, about.

976
00:52:39,920 --> 00:52:43,000
Speaker 2: Why did Tiger woods If these statements are true, and

977
00:52:43,040 --> 00:52:47,640
Speaker 2: I haven't seen anybody refute him, he basically essentially said,

978
00:52:48,520 --> 00:52:51,920
Speaker 2: Jordan's the goat, Kobe's a close second. LEBRONI even in

979
00:52:51,960 --> 00:52:53,680
Speaker 2: my top ten. He should never be mentioned in the

980
00:52:53,680 --> 00:52:55,920
Speaker 2: goat de bait and I don't you know. So why

981
00:52:55,920 --> 00:52:56,799
Speaker 2: do you think he said that?

982
00:52:57,680 --> 00:53:00,359
Speaker 17: Very simple, Bernie, because Tiger has a very very close

983
00:53:00,400 --> 00:53:03,919
Speaker 17: relationship with Michael Jordan. Michael Jordan was at his wedding, right,

984
00:53:04,080 --> 00:53:06,400
Speaker 17: they go back a long way. Obviously there's the golf

985
00:53:07,000 --> 00:53:10,080
Speaker 17: connection there, so those two are close. And frankly, Lebron

986
00:53:10,160 --> 00:53:13,080
Speaker 17: James is on Mount Olympus with both of those athletes

987
00:53:13,120 --> 00:53:16,040
Speaker 17: in terms of greatest of all time. So the fact

988
00:53:16,040 --> 00:53:17,959
Speaker 17: that Tiger went to the extent that he did, throwing

989
00:53:18,040 --> 00:53:20,480
Speaker 17: him out of the top ten. Writ large means, first

990
00:53:20,520 --> 00:53:23,080
Speaker 17: of all, he's close with Jordan A. But then Lebron

991
00:53:23,120 --> 00:53:24,000
Speaker 17: did something to Tiger.

992
00:53:24,160 --> 00:53:24,800
Speaker 18: They have an.

993
00:53:24,640 --> 00:53:28,359
Speaker 17: Issue between themselves as great competitors. That's what pushed him

994
00:53:28,400 --> 00:53:30,560
Speaker 17: over the edge to say something absolutely ridiculous. Well he

995
00:53:30,640 --> 00:53:32,239
Speaker 17: might not be better than Jordan, but we know Dog

996
00:53:32,320 --> 00:53:33,359
Speaker 17: know well he's in the top ten.

997
00:53:33,640 --> 00:53:36,839
Speaker 2: So he thos this is what I'm Yeah, I love

998
00:53:36,880 --> 00:53:39,759
Speaker 2: your calls. I'm trying to avoid the Lebron resume. I

999
00:53:39,800 --> 00:53:41,640
Speaker 2: just want to find out why the Tiger said that.

1000
00:53:41,840 --> 00:53:45,120
Speaker 2: But you're enlighten me. Perhaps there was some sort of

1001
00:53:45,120 --> 00:53:48,759
Speaker 2: falling off between Lebron and Tiger Woods that I'm really

1002
00:53:48,800 --> 00:53:50,160
Speaker 2: not aware of, but I would believe it. I know,

1003
00:53:50,719 --> 00:53:53,280
Speaker 2: I know that Tiger and Jordan were or tight, probably

1004
00:53:53,320 --> 00:53:56,040
Speaker 2: still are type Maybe it's part of the Nike connection.

1005
00:53:56,320 --> 00:53:59,959
Speaker 2: Final thing, Andre, should super Bowl Monday be a hollow?

1006
00:54:00,840 --> 00:54:05,279
Speaker 17: I got to concurge the previous callege. Absolutely, we get up,

1007
00:54:05,320 --> 00:54:07,640
Speaker 17: we go to work, Bernie. This is what Roger Goodell

1008
00:54:07,800 --> 00:54:09,919
Speaker 17: is pushing for, though he wants to push the super

1009
00:54:09,960 --> 00:54:13,160
Speaker 17: Bowl so far back that it lines up with President's Day.

1010
00:54:13,239 --> 00:54:15,479
Speaker 17: I think that's what Cadell wants he wants one more week,

1011
00:54:15,520 --> 00:54:17,840
Speaker 17: you know, get more pomp and circumstances, and then we

1012
00:54:17,920 --> 00:54:19,759
Speaker 17: have to have the day off because it's President's Day.

1013
00:54:19,800 --> 00:54:20,719
Speaker 6: Thanks taking a call, Bernie.

1014
00:54:20,880 --> 00:54:23,640
Speaker 2: Thanks Andre five for five and for what it's worth,

1015
00:54:24,040 --> 00:54:28,200
Speaker 2: twenty seven million people, according to records, are going to

1016
00:54:28,239 --> 00:54:31,120
Speaker 2: take the day off anyway, so they see it as holiday.

1017
00:54:31,560 --> 00:54:34,040
Speaker 2: Kevin in Culver City, California. Is this your first time

1018
00:54:34,560 --> 00:54:35,680
Speaker 2: calling the Bernie Fowler Show?

1019
00:54:37,040 --> 00:54:38,919
Speaker 5: And we we we've talked you for on either away.

1020
00:54:39,000 --> 00:54:43,080
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm sorry, I don't remember my bad Take it away, man.

1021
00:54:43,600 --> 00:54:47,080
Speaker 5: Hey, really quick. You're onto something, man, you're in Vegas.

1022
00:54:47,480 --> 00:54:49,879
Speaker 5: That is the way to go, Pats plus the four

1023
00:54:49,920 --> 00:54:52,719
Speaker 5: and a half. I'm telling you, man, One thing that

1024
00:54:52,840 --> 00:54:55,919
Speaker 5: Drake May have that this Michael McDonald's seeing. The last

1025
00:54:55,960 --> 00:54:58,680
Speaker 5: time you saw a quarterback like Michael, like Drake May

1026
00:54:58,680 --> 00:55:01,600
Speaker 5: he lost his name is Patch Mahomes. When you're mobile,

1027
00:55:01,880 --> 00:55:03,840
Speaker 5: and you could run in that pocket and move that

1028
00:55:03,920 --> 00:55:06,600
Speaker 5: pocket and collapse that pocket and run out that pocket

1029
00:55:06,600 --> 00:55:09,640
Speaker 5: and score. That's what they mentioned that Michael McDonald doesn't

1030
00:55:09,640 --> 00:55:12,759
Speaker 5: know what to see because Matthew Stafford couldn't run Drake

1031
00:55:12,880 --> 00:55:15,680
Speaker 5: May couldn't run on Michael Lamar Jackson like a Patrick Mahomes.

1032
00:55:15,719 --> 00:55:18,239
Speaker 5: I'm telling you right now, you are on something. And

1033
00:55:18,280 --> 00:55:21,239
Speaker 5: the Patriots have weapons all over the field, and they

1034
00:55:21,280 --> 00:55:24,000
Speaker 5: got to shut down corner in Christian Goczalez. The Rams

1035
00:55:24,000 --> 00:55:27,200
Speaker 5: had no corners. The Patriots are a different animal, leading

1036
00:55:27,239 --> 00:55:29,440
Speaker 5: the NFL and takeaways in the playoffs. I'm just telling

1037
00:55:29,480 --> 00:55:31,600
Speaker 5: you you're on a something, Bernie. You've gotta be a

1038
00:55:31,680 --> 00:55:34,399
Speaker 5: very happy man tomorrow, all.

1039
00:55:34,400 --> 00:55:38,160
Speaker 2: Right, anything on Tiger Woods or whether Monday should be

1040
00:55:38,160 --> 00:55:38,960
Speaker 2: a holiday, my friend.

1041
00:55:39,360 --> 00:55:39,799
Speaker 6: Come on.

1042
00:55:40,800 --> 00:55:43,640
Speaker 5: The top three in NBA are Michael Jordan and Kobe

1043
00:55:43,640 --> 00:55:45,560
Speaker 5: Bryant and Lebron James, Lebron Jays.

1044
00:55:45,680 --> 00:55:47,680
Speaker 2: Let's move off to that because I wanted to give

1045
00:55:47,680 --> 00:55:49,640
Speaker 2: you the airtime to give your thoughts on the Patriots,

1046
00:55:49,719 --> 00:55:52,800
Speaker 2: So we'll jump past Donald. Do you have any thoughts

1047
00:55:52,800 --> 00:55:54,320
Speaker 2: on why Tiger said what he said?

1048
00:55:56,880 --> 00:56:02,160
Speaker 5: Those are two, you know, gargantuous. You know he sports figures,

1049
00:56:02,200 --> 00:56:04,560
Speaker 5: but I think but we'll work about Sam Donald. Since

1050
00:56:04,560 --> 00:56:07,960
Speaker 5: he's been at USC, he's toys. He did that against

1051
00:56:08,000 --> 00:56:10,680
Speaker 5: Penn State against Sakwon Barkley. Since he was at Slementa

1052
00:56:10,719 --> 00:56:11,200
Speaker 5: High School.

1053
00:56:11,520 --> 00:56:15,600
Speaker 2: You know, I listen I'm I'm in camp. Donald. I

1054
00:56:15,680 --> 00:56:17,480
Speaker 2: never know. I didn't predict you to be in a

1055
00:56:17,480 --> 00:56:21,480
Speaker 2: Super Bowl by age twenty nine. But in terms of mechanics,

1056
00:56:21,719 --> 00:56:26,200
Speaker 2: arm talent and his makeup, I've always been a big proponent.

1057
00:56:26,719 --> 00:56:30,640
Speaker 2: Real quickly, Kevin, do you believe Super Bowl Monday should

1058
00:56:30,640 --> 00:56:32,720
Speaker 2: be a holiday?

1059
00:56:32,920 --> 00:56:33,000
Speaker 19: No?

1060
00:56:33,160 --> 00:56:33,480
Speaker 7: Way?

1061
00:56:33,719 --> 00:56:36,919
Speaker 5: And all right, buddy, remember that pocket Milton Williams over

1062
00:56:37,160 --> 00:56:39,239
Speaker 5: fresh up the middle against Donald. That's gonna be the

1063
00:56:39,280 --> 00:56:39,960
Speaker 5: difference makers.

1064
00:56:40,000 --> 00:56:42,000
Speaker 2: All right, my man, Hey, don't listen, don't be a stranger.

1065
00:56:42,040 --> 00:56:43,799
Speaker 2: You got a lot of good knowledge, and I appreciate you.

1066
00:56:44,200 --> 00:56:45,839
Speaker 2: I just want to make sure I get there here.

1067
00:56:45,920 --> 00:56:49,480
Speaker 2: Six for six, We're gonna continue this Tony and Miami,

1068
00:56:49,960 --> 00:56:54,480
Speaker 2: Martin and Orange, Tony in Seattle, and Manuel and Guardina

1069
00:56:54,680 --> 00:56:56,560
Speaker 2: you are up next. Can't wait to hear what you

1070
00:56:56,560 --> 00:56:58,759

1085
00:57:42,600 --> 00:57:45,240
Speaker 9: If it's okay with you, I'd like to put a

1086
00:57:45,240 --> 00:57:48,200
Speaker 9: little more emphasis on the tiger thing, and I'll get

1087
00:57:48,200 --> 00:57:55,280
Speaker 9: those first two. Donald. I think how we plays is

1088
00:57:55,320 --> 00:57:59,200
Speaker 9: how he plays. I think there's so many elements in football,

1089
00:57:59,240 --> 00:58:02,400
Speaker 9: and I really drives me nuts when quarterbacks are compared

1090
00:58:02,480 --> 00:58:07,080
Speaker 9: to I would say basketball players in terms of rings,

1091
00:58:07,120 --> 00:58:09,840
Speaker 9: it's not really it's not really fair. They're one of

1092
00:58:09,920 --> 00:58:13,400
Speaker 9: forty four, okay, and I know the important for the position,

1093
00:58:13,520 --> 00:58:18,280
Speaker 9: but Dnald is a you know, if he if he sucks,

1094
00:58:18,320 --> 00:58:21,440
Speaker 9: he sucks. If he plays well and they lose, they lose.

1095
00:58:21,720 --> 00:58:24,880
Speaker 9: So I don't know, I just you know, it's it's

1096
00:58:24,960 --> 00:58:27,760
Speaker 9: kind of like playing that game Plinko from the price

1097
00:58:27,840 --> 00:58:31,240
Speaker 9: is Right, you put your your position, the little ball

1098
00:58:31,320 --> 00:58:37,160
Speaker 9: where falls and falls, you know, I don't know. The holidays, yeah, yeah,

1099
00:58:37,200 --> 00:58:41,320
Speaker 9: the holiday It wouldn't be American if if we if

1100
00:58:41,320 --> 00:58:43,080
Speaker 9: we did it, you know, I think if they can

1101
00:58:43,160 --> 00:58:46,720
Speaker 9: move Predidence Day or if they push the NFL, great

1102
00:58:46,960 --> 00:58:50,880
Speaker 9: I mean, let's just let's just have holidays every every third,

1103
00:58:50,960 --> 00:58:54,800
Speaker 9: you know, every basically every weekend, and another reason to drink.

1104
00:58:56,000 --> 00:59:01,919
Speaker 9: And then lastly, Tiger Woods is greatness. I don't even

1105
00:59:01,960 --> 00:59:05,720
Speaker 9: consider golf that, but if you do, I have played.

1106
00:59:06,000 --> 00:59:09,760
Speaker 9: I'm out at savant, but Tiger Woods was, and I

1107
00:59:09,800 --> 00:59:13,160
Speaker 9: think he's just getting tired of so many people throwing

1108
00:59:13,200 --> 00:59:21,280
Speaker 9: around the word genius, schavant, brilliant all time. No, it's

1109
00:59:22,000 --> 00:59:25,280
Speaker 9: I understand what he's saying, and maybe he's got problem

1110
00:59:25,280 --> 00:59:30,200
Speaker 9: with him. Objectively, I can't speak of all time, but

1111
00:59:31,400 --> 00:59:35,040
Speaker 9: Tiger Woods was a bad man. And I've seen basketball

1112
00:59:35,200 --> 00:59:40,600
Speaker 9: starting the late eighties early nineties. He's in my top ten,

1113
00:59:41,720 --> 00:59:46,160
Speaker 9: but there's folk like five six players objectively, not because

1114
00:59:46,200 --> 00:59:49,959
Speaker 9: I did like him that I feel are gooder than him. Now,

1115
00:59:50,040 --> 00:59:53,600
Speaker 9: if Lebron won four or five in Cleveland, then went

1116
00:59:53,640 --> 00:59:57,080
Speaker 9: to Washington or Sacramento and then reeled off three more

1117
00:59:57,480 --> 01:00:00,360
Speaker 9: just good stuff. We never saw the I think he

1118
01:00:00,400 --> 01:00:02,080
Speaker 9: would get this, whether they like him or not. He

1119
01:00:02,120 --> 01:00:06,000
Speaker 9: would get his craze. But he isn't really enough into it.

1120
01:00:06,240 --> 01:00:07,600
Speaker 9: I think everyone's kind of worn out.

1121
01:00:07,800 --> 01:00:11,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, no, you break up, Tony. Appreciate you, buddy.

1122
01:00:11,200 --> 01:00:14,280
Speaker 2: You bring up make a great distinction. Magic did it, homegrown,

1123
01:00:14,320 --> 01:00:17,640
Speaker 2: Bird did it homegrown. Jordan did it homegrown. Jabbar did

1124
01:00:17,640 --> 01:00:22,400
Speaker 2: it with Milwaukee. You know Kobe with the Lakers. Lebron

1125
01:00:22,440 --> 01:00:25,160
Speaker 2: threw up his arms, went to Miami's a mercenary. Yeah,

1126
01:00:25,200 --> 01:00:27,000
Speaker 2: they got it done. Put to put himself together with

1127
01:00:27,040 --> 01:00:29,439
Speaker 2: all star team. You make a really good distinction there.

1128
01:00:29,560 --> 01:00:32,600
Speaker 2: I think that greats people. It's not really talked about enough.

1129
01:00:33,280 --> 01:00:36,600
Speaker 2: Martin and Orange. Happy super Bowl Sunday, my friend. Good

1130
01:00:36,640 --> 01:00:37,240
Speaker 2: to hear from you.

1131
01:00:38,480 --> 01:00:43,040
Speaker 19: Happy super Bowl Sunday, Bernie Greedys and Sow you take

1132
01:00:43,120 --> 01:00:46,960
Speaker 19: this now. Sam Darnold is a stand up guy man,

1133
01:00:47,480 --> 01:00:50,280
Speaker 19: and I don't care what people say about him. He

1134
01:00:50,320 --> 01:00:52,920
Speaker 19: doesn't care what you say about him. Right, Oh he

1135
01:00:53,040 --> 01:00:57,000
Speaker 19: does is keep working and keep working. And I don't

1136
01:00:57,000 --> 01:01:00,680
Speaker 19: care if he wins or if he loses. Today he's

1137
01:01:00,800 --> 01:01:05,680
Speaker 19: already rewrote the narrative on who he is Now. I

1138
01:01:05,720 --> 01:01:08,280
Speaker 19: think so, and I think true Bernie.

1139
01:01:08,360 --> 01:01:12,200
Speaker 5: Now, should super Bowl the day after be a holiday?

1140
01:01:13,760 --> 01:01:13,960
Speaker 7: Yeah?

1141
01:01:14,920 --> 01:01:15,240
Speaker 19: It should.

1142
01:01:16,040 --> 01:01:19,680
Speaker 2: We got a well, of course Tony Miami was going

1143
01:01:19,760 --> 01:01:22,280
Speaker 2: to continue on Martin, and this is.

1144
01:01:22,240 --> 01:01:25,320
Speaker 19: Why it should be a holiday. Then when I worked

1145
01:01:25,360 --> 01:01:27,680
Speaker 19: on Monday and they did shrip.

1146
01:01:27,560 --> 01:01:32,919
Speaker 20: Time, Yeah there you go, Martin to Shay to Shay.

1147
01:01:33,040 --> 01:01:37,480
Speaker 2: You got me all right? Why did Tiger would make

1148
01:01:37,520 --> 01:01:38,439
Speaker 2: those comments.

1149
01:01:38,560 --> 01:01:42,919
Speaker 19: With Tiger Woods? May mean I just want to start

1150
01:01:42,960 --> 01:01:46,600
Speaker 19: the conversation off like this, Bernie. When people want to

1151
01:01:46,640 --> 01:01:50,000
Speaker 19: talk about the goat and this we're talking about Muhammad Ali,

1152
01:01:50,640 --> 01:01:53,800
Speaker 19: I don't want to hear any conversations because then we're

1153
01:01:53,800 --> 01:01:57,600
Speaker 19: talking about generational things in sports. But true goat is

1154
01:01:57,680 --> 01:02:00,960
Speaker 19: Muhammad Ali. Well, let me get to this, Bernie. For

1155
01:02:01,240 --> 01:02:04,600
Speaker 19: him to say he's not in his top ten, we

1156
01:02:04,760 --> 01:02:07,720
Speaker 19: all know Tiger likes to get the liquor a little

1157
01:02:07,760 --> 01:02:12,520
Speaker 19: bit too much. Get mind a little too much. Tiger,

1158
01:02:12,800 --> 01:02:14,040
Speaker 19: way up the shot.

1159
01:02:14,080 --> 01:02:15,560
Speaker 7: Way up the TV.

1160
01:02:15,720 --> 01:02:21,520
Speaker 2: I have waited this blurn alive, good Bernie, Martin, Hey Martin,

1161
01:02:22,920 --> 01:02:25,560
Speaker 2: you there. I was gonna tell Martin, you know who

1162
01:02:25,560 --> 01:02:30,200
Speaker 2: would have loved Sam Donald the Great House? Surebeck, Yeah,

1163
01:02:30,360 --> 01:02:31,680
Speaker 2: look it up. If you don't know who he is.

1164
01:02:31,720 --> 01:02:34,919
Speaker 2: Great football coach Martin knows him. Tony and Seattle, welcome

1165
01:02:34,960 --> 01:02:38,080
Speaker 2: into the Bernie Frottle Show. How are you doing? Great?

1166
01:02:38,080 --> 01:02:42,520
Speaker 12: Thank you, Bernie. Great, great show. You know Sam Donald,

1167
01:02:42,560 --> 01:02:46,240
Speaker 12: He's always had the goods, just didn't have a reasonable opportunity.

1168
01:02:46,600 --> 01:02:49,720
Speaker 12: It's not like the Jets and the Panthers were marching

1169
01:02:49,760 --> 01:02:52,120
Speaker 12: into the playoffs just before he got there and he

1170
01:02:52,160 --> 01:02:58,400
Speaker 12: collapsed them. Yeah, and say, le Bron, I don't know

1171
01:02:58,440 --> 01:03:01,960
Speaker 12: what Tiger went to thing can. I mean, we we

1172
01:03:02,000 --> 01:03:04,120
Speaker 12: know what kind of judgment he truly has deep down.

1173
01:03:04,240 --> 01:03:07,439
Speaker 12: So that's just crazy. Not in the top ten.

1174
01:03:07,520 --> 01:03:08,520
Speaker 11: You gotta be joking.

1175
01:03:09,440 --> 01:03:13,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought it was. That's what. Yeah, go ahead, Yeah, yeah.

1176
01:03:13,520 --> 01:03:17,760
Speaker 12: And I mean personally it's Lebron Kareem and Larry MG

1177
01:03:17,880 --> 01:03:22,880
Speaker 12: and Kobe were great ballhogs, but in the Super Bowl.

1178
01:03:23,280 --> 01:03:25,040
Speaker 12: I don't think it should be a holiday, but it

1179
01:03:25,080 --> 01:03:27,400
Speaker 12: needs to be moved to Saturday so that we can

1180
01:03:27,440 --> 01:03:31,280
Speaker 12: all recover on Sunday. Problem solved Saturday.

1181
01:03:31,840 --> 01:03:32,320
Speaker 19: It's done.

1182
01:03:33,200 --> 01:03:35,840
Speaker 2: By the way, I imagine you're pretty you're pretty fired

1183
01:03:35,920 --> 01:03:38,480
Speaker 2: up about your Seahawks though, right Tony, or assuming you

1184
01:03:38,520 --> 01:03:40,680

1186
01:03:44,440 --> 01:03:45,520

1220
01:05:46,400 --> 01:05:48,920
Speaker 2: in between, there's no gray area. I mean, he's no

1221
01:05:48,960 --> 01:05:50,960
Speaker 2: one's given him any kind of benefit of the doubt.

1222
01:05:51,200 --> 01:05:54,680
Speaker 2: There's this scrutiny. He's got this stigma of somebody, and

1223
01:05:54,800 --> 01:05:58,360
Speaker 2: I just don't know that that's as warranted given his

1224
01:05:58,440 --> 01:06:00,000
Speaker 2: last couple of years.

1225
01:05:59,680 --> 01:06:02,080
Speaker 21: It's not warranted given the last couple of years, because

1226
01:06:02,080 --> 01:06:04,840
Speaker 21: he has been the best QB starting to be in

1227
01:06:04,880 --> 01:06:10,400
Speaker 21: the regular season. However, once he said the icy Ghosts line,

1228
01:06:10,760 --> 01:06:16,800
Speaker 21: that's gonna follow him everywhere, down every hallway until he

1229
01:06:16,920 --> 01:06:20,840
Speaker 21: wins that big game and he can tomorrow. That's why

1230
01:06:20,880 --> 01:06:25,560
Speaker 21: I'm saying he could shut everybody up and do the Ghostbusters,

1231
01:06:25,680 --> 01:06:28,480
Speaker 21: have Dan Ackroyd and Bill Murray and all of.

1232
01:06:28,440 --> 01:06:30,280
Speaker 19: Them with him.

1233
01:06:30,320 --> 01:06:32,280
Speaker 2: Fair enough, all right, Well, why do you think Tiger

1234
01:06:32,280 --> 01:06:36,400
Speaker 2: Wood's made those comments about Lebron James.

1235
01:06:35,200 --> 01:06:42,600
Speaker 21: Because he's looking for relevance, attention. He he can't go

1236
01:06:42,920 --> 01:06:46,520
Speaker 21: worth a craft anymore. He's not gonna smell Jack Nicholas

1237
01:06:47,120 --> 01:06:53,120
Speaker 21: his record, so he's got to stay in the limelights. Yeah,

1238
01:06:53,400 --> 01:06:56,880
Speaker 21: I'm not a fan of either. They can both kick rocks.

1239
01:06:58,080 --> 01:07:00,960
Speaker 2: All right, Monday should be soon Bowl Monday should be

1240
01:07:00,960 --> 01:07:01,960
Speaker 2: a holiday and yes or.

1241
01:07:01,920 --> 01:07:03,720
Speaker 9: No, absolutely not.

1242
01:07:04,440 --> 01:07:09,280
Speaker 21: NFL alright, sprints money man schedule it so it's the

1243
01:07:09,440 --> 01:07:14,960
Speaker 21: Sunday before President's Day every time, so everybody's happy. We

1244
01:07:15,080 --> 01:07:18,680
Speaker 21: have enough damn days where Americans are taking the day

1245
01:07:18,720 --> 01:07:21,840
Speaker 21: off and that's why we're always crying that we don't

1246
01:07:21,880 --> 01:07:24,040
Speaker 21: get paid enough. But then we're of the first ones

1247
01:07:24,040 --> 01:07:26,840
Speaker 21: calling him sick. So no, I'm not with it.

1248
01:07:26,920 --> 01:07:28,480
Speaker 9: Man, Like that what guy said earlier.

1249
01:07:28,880 --> 01:07:32,000
Speaker 21: You can party all you want Sunday nine, but make

1250
01:07:32,040 --> 01:07:34,480
Speaker 21: it to that water cooler to discuss it on Monday.

1251
01:07:35,680 --> 01:07:39,160
Speaker 2: Good stuff, man, Well, well, said my friend well said,

1252
01:07:39,200 --> 01:07:41,400
Speaker 2: and just for what it's worth. I mean, these statistics

1253
01:07:41,400 --> 01:07:46,880
Speaker 2: don't lie the absenteeism for Monday. They're estimating a record

1254
01:07:46,960 --> 01:07:51,919
Speaker 2: twenty seven million workers we'll misswork on Monday. To give

1255
01:07:51,960 --> 01:07:56,960
Speaker 2: that some perspective, twenty two million missed work last year.

1256
01:07:57,400 --> 01:07:59,840
Speaker 2: Some people call him sick. You know, when you call

1257
01:07:59,840 --> 01:08:02,720
Speaker 2: it and then your sick voice. Oh, I'm not feeling

1258
01:08:02,720 --> 01:08:05,480
Speaker 2: good today, I'm not going to be in. They hang up. Okay,

1259
01:08:06,080 --> 01:08:08,840
Speaker 2: cool worker says, who was that? Well, that was Bob.

1260
01:08:08,880 --> 01:08:11,800
Speaker 2: He called in sick. Oh yeah, he didn't sound good.

1261
01:08:11,840 --> 01:08:14,480
Speaker 2: What do you expect? Hey, a million bucks? I'm calling

1262
01:08:14,520 --> 01:08:19,799
Speaker 2: it sick. Other people swapshifts, other people use PTO anyway,

1263
01:08:19,840 --> 01:08:22,400
Speaker 2: it slights it. I don't know. I love how honest

1264
01:08:22,439 --> 01:08:25,880
Speaker 2: and pragmatic our callers are. Though there was a couple

1265
01:08:25,960 --> 01:08:27,519
Speaker 2: yeses and there. That's fine, And by the way, for

1266

1293
01:10:04,200 --> 01:10:06,920
Speaker 2: three topics when we start with Sam Donald, Did he

1294
01:10:07,120 --> 01:10:11,160
Speaker 2: deserve all this scrutiny in terms of the people waiting

1295
01:10:11,160 --> 01:10:12,839
Speaker 2: for the other shoe to drop in the stigma?

1296
01:10:14,000 --> 01:10:16,519
Speaker 18: Well, you know what a lot of people, I kind

1297
01:10:16,520 --> 01:10:19,240
Speaker 18: of see him like he's like the bailing you know,

1298
01:10:19,320 --> 01:10:22,439
Speaker 18: and I'm like cheirm for on because like everybody wants

1299
01:10:22,439 --> 01:10:24,920
Speaker 18: to bash him and bash him, and he's he's done

1300
01:10:25,000 --> 01:10:28,200
Speaker 18: so good, you know, starting his career with the horrible

1301
01:10:28,320 --> 01:10:32,599
Speaker 18: horrible Jay Gee yeah said, shit said, and the horrible

1302
01:10:32,720 --> 01:10:37,680
Speaker 18: organization and all the different organizations to get here. So

1303
01:10:37,920 --> 01:10:41,439
Speaker 18: I mean he deserves it, even his former wide receiver

1304
01:10:41,640 --> 01:10:44,599
Speaker 18: Jeffersons and like, hey, he could have been better if

1305
01:10:44,600 --> 01:10:46,160
Speaker 18: he would have had Tim Donald.

1306
01:10:46,240 --> 01:10:47,519
Speaker 5: So horrible job on.

1307
01:10:47,479 --> 01:10:52,680
Speaker 18: The vikings of the organization, right, letting a great quarterback?

1308
01:10:52,760 --> 01:10:58,640
Speaker 2: How yeah they did. Hindsight's always twenty twenty last year

1309
01:10:58,680 --> 01:11:00,960
Speaker 2: at this time, people were get it. They were afraid

1310
01:11:01,000 --> 01:11:03,400
Speaker 2: of paying forty million. But all right, Tiger Woods, why

1311
01:11:03,400 --> 01:11:07,160
Speaker 2: do you think you made those comments about Lebron Well, look, well.

1312
01:11:07,439 --> 01:11:10,400
Speaker 22: I'm getting in the mind at Tiger Woods. Imagine me,

1313
01:11:10,560 --> 01:11:13,120
Speaker 22: I'm Tiger Woods, one of the greatest of all time

1314
01:11:13,160 --> 01:11:17,479
Speaker 22: in golf, right, and now I'm hearing this guy Lebron

1315
01:11:17,600 --> 01:11:20,680
Speaker 22: is in my opinion, like you know, I'm going to

1316
01:11:20,720 --> 01:11:23,280
Speaker 22: the greatest golfers. I grew up with Michael Jordan. He's

1317
01:11:23,280 --> 01:11:26,800
Speaker 22: my friend, and you know, watching them the greatest of

1318
01:11:26,840 --> 01:11:29,080
Speaker 22: all time. For me, I'm Tiger Woods.

1319
01:11:29,120 --> 01:11:31,680
Speaker 23: He's number one, Michael Jordon, and I don't want to

1320
01:11:31,720 --> 01:11:35,840
Speaker 23: hear Lebron and taunting, gapping, gapping and you know a

1321
01:11:36,080 --> 01:11:38,840
Speaker 23: social media like back in the day they didn't have

1322
01:11:39,000 --> 01:11:42,320
Speaker 23: that much, you know, advertising with the algorithm, but you

1323
01:11:42,360 --> 01:11:45,000
Speaker 23: know the things in my time, I'm getting tired of

1324
01:11:45,280 --> 01:11:46,519
Speaker 23: Lebron and and all that times.

1325
01:11:46,520 --> 01:11:50,040
Speaker 2: Basically he's tired. You think you're saying he's observing this

1326
01:11:50,200 --> 01:11:51,840
Speaker 2: like we all are, and he's tired of and he said,

1327
01:11:51,840 --> 01:11:53,320
Speaker 2: what the hell, I'll throw in my two cents that

1328
01:11:53,640 --> 01:11:55,639
Speaker 2: basically yeah.

1329
01:11:55,520 --> 01:11:57,400
Speaker 18: Yeah, he threw it in his sense, and he still

1330
01:11:57,439 --> 01:12:00,439
Speaker 18: wants to be He wants the algorithm, the people be

1331
01:12:00,520 --> 01:12:02,680
Speaker 18: in the headlines, like he wants people to know about him.

1332
01:12:02,720 --> 01:12:03,439
Speaker 18: So hey, why not.

1333
01:12:03,560 --> 01:12:07,080
Speaker 2: Super Bowl Monday? Should it be a holiday poppy?

1334
01:12:08,240 --> 01:12:11,320
Speaker 18: Well no, these guys in gold Pub are a complete joke.

1335
01:12:11,800 --> 01:12:14,479
Speaker 18: They sell something Philadelphia and for people like kind of

1336
01:12:14,520 --> 01:12:17,479
Speaker 18: like uber eat and to get delivered and stuff like that,

1337
01:12:17,600 --> 01:12:20,200
Speaker 18: and Tom Brady they have to have someone pay money

1338
01:12:20,200 --> 01:12:23,120
Speaker 18: to be budging. Isn't no super Bowl? Son?

1339
01:12:23,439 --> 01:12:23,679
Speaker 14: Fine?

1340
01:12:23,760 --> 01:12:28,200
Speaker 2: Right now, I want Sunday.

1341
01:12:28,760 --> 01:12:29,040
Speaker 18: You know.

1342
01:12:30,600 --> 01:12:32,519
Speaker 2: I got you man overwhelming. I mean, there were a

1343
01:12:32,560 --> 01:12:36,639
Speaker 2: couple of yeses, but wow, okay, fair enough hashtag respect

1344
01:12:37,160 --> 01:12:40,360
Speaker 2: Jeff and Denver. Welcome in, Jeff, Oh.

1345
01:12:40,240 --> 01:12:41,240
Speaker 11: Bernie, how's it going tonight?

1346
01:12:41,280 --> 01:12:42,280
Speaker 7: I just wanted to time and.

1347
01:12:42,320 --> 01:12:45,840
Speaker 6: I got a little late here. But the Sam Darbald thing,

1348
01:12:47,000 --> 01:12:50,599
Speaker 6: I think you gotta let a guy grow. I mean,

1349
01:12:50,880 --> 01:12:54,240
Speaker 6: look at Denver. Elway got his butt handed to him

1350
01:12:54,240 --> 01:12:56,120
Speaker 6: the first two times he was there, but he learned

1351
01:12:56,160 --> 01:12:58,559
Speaker 6: and he grew and they got a running game and

1352
01:12:58,560 --> 01:12:59,200
Speaker 6: then he won too.

1353
01:12:59,800 --> 01:13:03,040
Speaker 2: I agree with that. But there's this stigma that Sam

1354
01:13:03,120 --> 01:13:05,880
Speaker 2: Darnold has that people just wait for the other shoe

1355
01:13:05,920 --> 01:13:08,720
Speaker 2: to drop, and every time some of the compliments that

1356
01:13:08,760 --> 01:13:11,439
Speaker 2: they got to throw cold water on it there. I

1357
01:13:11,479 --> 01:13:14,280
Speaker 2: love Seattle, but I'm worried about Sam. I love Seattle,

1358
01:13:14,280 --> 01:13:16,439
Speaker 2: but what if he turns it over? Okay? I mean

1359
01:13:16,880 --> 01:13:18,960
Speaker 2: Stafford turned it over twice and this super Bowl and

1360
01:13:19,040 --> 01:13:22,800
Speaker 2: one I'm just saying other quarterbacks have had issues. What

1361
01:13:23,000 --> 01:13:25,720
Speaker 2: is it about Sam?

1362
01:13:25,840 --> 01:13:28,519
Speaker 6: I just think they give the guy a chance to grow.

1363
01:13:28,600 --> 01:13:30,800
Speaker 6: I think he answered the critics this year. He had

1364
01:13:30,840 --> 01:13:34,160
Speaker 6: a bad couple of games. He hadn't been in that position.

1365
01:13:35,160 --> 01:13:37,639
Speaker 6: He you know, didn't do so well. But he entered

1366
01:13:37,680 --> 01:13:41,120
Speaker 6: the bell this year by beating Seattle in the championship.

1367
01:13:42,120 --> 01:13:46,360
Speaker 2: I mean beating beating beat the Rams twice when it

1368
01:13:46,400 --> 01:13:49,760
Speaker 2: mattered most. Hey, by the way, thoughts on Tiger Woods,

1369
01:13:49,760 --> 01:13:51,280
Speaker 2: why did he say those things about Lebron?

1370
01:13:53,360 --> 01:14:00,280
Speaker 6: Two words are watching too much self promotion by Lebron games?

1371
01:14:00,360 --> 01:14:03,680
Speaker 6: Then I don't need to hear that you're great. I mean,

1372
01:14:03,800 --> 01:14:06,760
Speaker 6: Michael played great. We all knew he was great. The

1373
01:14:06,800 --> 01:14:09,080
Speaker 6: other's played great. We all knew they were great. Lebron

1374
01:14:09,200 --> 01:14:11,559
Speaker 6: has to tell you he's great. He has to jump

1375
01:14:11,960 --> 01:14:15,000
Speaker 6: ship to go to other places to play with other

1376
01:14:15,040 --> 01:14:19,519
Speaker 6: great players to look great. Too much self promotion not fair.

1377
01:14:20,800 --> 01:14:24,640
Speaker 2: Finally, should Super Bowl money be a holiday?

1378
01:14:27,160 --> 01:14:30,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna go with yes. Or simply

1379
01:14:30,120 --> 01:14:35,360
Speaker 6: move it to Saturday. I like that idea. Or start

1380
01:14:35,400 --> 01:14:38,920
Speaker 6: the season one week later and let Presidents Day fall

1381
01:14:38,960 --> 01:14:41,160
Speaker 6: on the Monday after because you gave.

1382
01:14:41,000 --> 01:14:41,240
Speaker 15: It or.

1383
01:14:42,880 --> 01:14:45,360
Speaker 6: You getting your production out of employees anyway.

1384
01:14:45,040 --> 01:14:47,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's what I mentioned. Yeah, all right, I

1385
01:14:47,360 --> 01:14:50,280
Speaker 2: appreciate it. Jeff, thanks so much for what it's worth.

1386
01:14:50,320 --> 01:14:52,320
Speaker 2: In the next couple of years, I'll give the date

1387
01:14:52,360 --> 01:14:56,479
Speaker 2: at some point because of the way the calendar ferrets out,

1388
01:14:56,680 --> 01:14:58,960
Speaker 2: they're actually going to be playing in Super Bowl the

1389
01:14:59,080 --> 01:15:02,599
Speaker 2: day before. President Quinn in Oakland, thanks for your patience,

1390
01:15:02,600 --> 01:15:03,000
Speaker 2: welcome in.

1391
01:15:05,240 --> 01:15:06,640
Speaker 11: Hey, what's going on with you?

1392
01:15:06,800 --> 01:15:07,040
Speaker 15: Man?

1393
01:15:07,080 --> 01:15:10,360
Speaker 11: How's it going? Or it's kind of late to say

1394
01:15:10,400 --> 01:15:12,160
Speaker 11: up in New Year? But whatever, how you doing?

1395
01:15:12,680 --> 01:15:15,320
Speaker 2: Happy that you're back to you? Why not? What the hell? Man? Okay,

1396
01:15:15,360 --> 01:15:19,880
Speaker 2: what are your thoughts? Sam Donald? Does he deserve the scrutiny? Quinn?

1397
01:15:19,960 --> 01:15:22,599
Speaker 11: I think this a This is what I'm saying. If

1398
01:15:22,600 --> 01:15:25,360
Speaker 11: I was Sam Donald, especially if they win, I'd be like,

1399
01:15:26,120 --> 01:15:28,480
Speaker 11: oh my god, I just saw a whole bunch of ghosts.

1400
01:15:28,760 --> 01:15:32,519
Speaker 11: Now I'm going to disney lay fans. You know like this.

1401
01:15:33,600 --> 01:15:36,920
Speaker 11: You could sell the ghost fells. Disney Land felled it all,

1402
01:15:36,960 --> 01:15:41,519
Speaker 11: you know. Hey. And as far as the Tiger was saying,

1403
01:15:41,560 --> 01:15:45,080
Speaker 11: this is on the real I think that Tiger is

1404
01:15:45,800 --> 01:15:48,719
Speaker 11: kind of mad because I know they both were doing

1405
01:15:48,800 --> 01:15:53,360
Speaker 11: whatever it is they supposedly was doing. Tiger is like, damn,

1406
01:15:53,960 --> 01:15:56,200
Speaker 11: he's still performing at the top of his game and

1407
01:15:56,280 --> 01:15:59,280
Speaker 11: he's rinning up and down. I'm doing a single sport

1408
01:15:59,439 --> 01:16:02,000
Speaker 11: and that's up. Has it gotten me back to my game?

1409
01:16:02,560 --> 01:16:03,960
Speaker 11: I think it's an envivioust thing.

1410
01:16:04,800 --> 01:16:06,080
Speaker 2: An I brought that up.

1411
01:16:06,439 --> 01:16:10,280
Speaker 15: And then of course like MJ is number one, Kobe

1412
01:16:10,760 --> 01:16:13,680
Speaker 15: number two, but Lebron at out the top ten.

1413
01:16:13,800 --> 01:16:15,360
Speaker 11: That'stuff. You know, that's the same fight.

1414
01:16:15,560 --> 01:16:17,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a little that's a little whack now.

1415
01:16:17,920 --> 01:16:21,759
Speaker 15: Yeah, I think so too. As the super Bowl, Yeah,

1416
01:16:22,439 --> 01:16:25,160
Speaker 15: or I mean the Super Bowl Monday. I think once

1417
01:16:25,160 --> 01:16:28,880
Speaker 15: they put uh have like a Malcolm X holiday, then

1418
01:16:28,920 --> 01:16:30,760
Speaker 15: we can have a day off for the super Bowl.

1419
01:16:31,360 --> 01:16:32,320
Speaker 15: Y'all have a good night.

1420
01:16:32,360 --> 01:16:35,439
Speaker 2: And I'm out appreciate Quinn. I think it might be

1421
01:16:35,439 --> 01:16:37,400
Speaker 2: a first time call. Appreciate you taking the time to

1422
01:16:37,439 --> 01:16:42,120
Speaker 2: call Quinn uh Rod and Pomona, California. Welcome into the

1423
01:16:42,160 --> 01:16:43,000
Speaker 2: Bernie Frattle Show.

1424
01:16:43,479 --> 01:16:46,920
Speaker 7: Hey, thanks for giving me a call. Hey, I believe

1425
01:16:47,560 --> 01:16:50,800
Speaker 7: charl mcgig is but beat twice.

1426
01:16:50,680 --> 01:16:54,160
Speaker 2: By Yeah, I believe it'll be correct on that.

1427
01:16:55,280 --> 01:16:58,679
Speaker 7: Yeah, And Sam mcgig was into game. This coach Ever,

1428
01:16:58,880 --> 01:17:02,479
Speaker 7: I think George Hollis was twenty seven when he coached

1429
01:17:02,479 --> 01:17:03,920
Speaker 7: the Chicago Bears.

1430
01:17:05,200 --> 01:17:09,040
Speaker 2: Uh fair, fair cool? So is that your way of

1431
01:17:09,080 --> 01:17:11,040
Speaker 2: saying that Sam deserves a little bit more credit than

1432
01:17:11,080 --> 01:17:11,559
Speaker 2: he's getting.

1433
01:17:12,520 --> 01:17:17,200
Speaker 7: Yes, because of the summits A damn good coach. So

1434
01:17:17,479 --> 01:17:20,840
Speaker 7: was Curly Lambor and Curly Lambo when coach Greenbay was

1435
01:17:20,880 --> 01:17:26,599
Speaker 7: on twenty four. So this being miracle work here. He's awesome,

1436
01:17:26,720 --> 01:17:28,880
Speaker 7: but he wasn't the youngest coach in the NFL.

1437
01:17:29,360 --> 01:17:35,599
Speaker 2: Ever, fair enough, Okay, Hallis was twenty five years old,

1438
01:17:36,040 --> 01:17:37,840
Speaker 2: true story, and he coached all the way there was

1439
01:17:37,880 --> 01:17:40,800
Speaker 2: seventy two. All right, Tiger Woods, Well the comments about

1440
01:17:40,880 --> 01:17:42,680
Speaker 2: Lebron your thoughts, why do you think he did it?

1441
01:17:43,400 --> 01:17:48,200
Speaker 7: Oh, Tiger got chair of he got comfortable and spoke

1442
01:17:48,760 --> 01:17:53,280
Speaker 7: of the school here regret on to the Wednesday, you'll

1443
01:17:53,320 --> 01:17:56,280
Speaker 7: probably try to backtrack it.

1444
01:17:56,280 --> 01:17:58,360
Speaker 2: It does seem out of character for him. I certainly

1445
01:17:58,360 --> 01:18:01,760
Speaker 2: agree with that, and.

1446
01:18:00,400 --> 01:18:02,000
Speaker 7: And so it's all a character.

1447
01:18:03,240 --> 01:18:08,800
Speaker 2: Finally, do you believe Super Bowl Monday should be a holiday?

1448
01:18:10,120 --> 01:18:14,160
Speaker 7: Well, once we have an eighteenth game and the second,

1449
01:18:14,320 --> 01:18:18,960
Speaker 7: by then the calendar will sync up. We have eighteen

1450
01:18:19,000 --> 01:18:23,240
Speaker 7: games in the season. Two buys maybe an increased or

1451
01:18:23,320 --> 01:18:24,519
Speaker 7: rosy fifty five.

1452
01:18:24,960 --> 01:18:28,040
Speaker 2: Well that but if that weren't, if that didn't happen,

1453
01:18:28,120 --> 01:18:30,960
Speaker 2: because right now the Union is dead set against eighteen games,

1454
01:18:31,240 --> 01:18:32,599
Speaker 2: and I don't think this is going to be brought

1455
01:18:32,680 --> 01:18:36,800
Speaker 2: up again to twenty thirty one. So just just just

1456
01:18:36,840 --> 01:18:41,480
Speaker 2: in general principles, do you think it should be a holiday?

1457
01:18:41,680 --> 01:18:45,240
Speaker 7: Well, it's already your holiday to count people?

1458
01:18:45,640 --> 01:18:48,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, Rod, Hey, good stuff tonight. Good good

1459
01:18:48,760 --> 01:18:52,080
Speaker 2: stuff on the history there too as well. People might wonder,

1460
01:18:52,080 --> 01:18:53,800
Speaker 2: if you're just tuning in, why the hell are we

1461
01:18:53,840 --> 01:18:57,200
Speaker 2: talking about whether or not Super Bowl money should be

1462
01:18:57,240 --> 01:19:01,280
Speaker 2: a holiday. Look, there's a company out of Philadelphia called

1463
01:19:01,360 --> 01:19:05,360
Speaker 2: Go Puff. There's some sort of consumer guds company. They've

1464
01:19:05,400 --> 01:19:09,080
Speaker 2: partnered with Tom Brady Andrewski to launch something called the

1465
01:19:09,120 --> 01:19:12,439
Speaker 2: Super Bowl Monday Off Coalition. They really want to make

1466
01:19:12,840 --> 01:19:16,439
Speaker 2: the Monday after the Super Bowl a federal holiday. So

1467
01:19:17,560 --> 01:19:19,880
Speaker 2: for the past month or two, or however long it's been,

1468
01:19:19,920 --> 01:19:22,880
Speaker 2: they're donating one percent of their profits to this super

1469
01:19:22,880 --> 01:19:27,720
Speaker 2: Bowl Monday Off collection. They want Super Monday to be

1470
01:19:28,040 --> 01:19:34,240
Speaker 2: a holiday now. Part of their premise is that it's

1471
01:19:34,320 --> 01:19:38,799
Speaker 2: really super sick Monday. Twenty seven million people in the US,

1472
01:19:38,920 --> 01:19:41,800
Speaker 2: which is about fifteen percent of our workforce. They're going

1473
01:19:41,880 --> 01:19:46,120
Speaker 2: to miss work Monday. According to economists, that creates a

1474
01:19:46,160 --> 01:19:50,559
Speaker 2: five point two billion dollar hit to productivity. Now, some

1475
01:19:50,600 --> 01:19:52,960
Speaker 2: are just going to call and sit, some are going

1476
01:19:53,040 --> 01:19:56,439
Speaker 2: to swap shift, some will use PTO. Right, but the

1477
01:19:56,479 --> 01:20:03,800
Speaker 2: absenteesm is real. The econemiconomic impact is real. And it's

1478
01:20:03,840 --> 01:20:06,240
Speaker 2: a trend that's growing. It's a behavioral trend that's growing

1479
01:20:06,240 --> 01:20:09,519
Speaker 2: every single year. So listen. It's kind of radio fodder.

1480
01:20:09,880 --> 01:20:11,560
Speaker 2: I have an agreement with a vast majority of the

1481
01:20:11,600 --> 01:20:14,680
Speaker 2: college said not no, hell no, Okay. As far as

1482
01:20:14,720 --> 01:20:19,080
Speaker 2: it's Sam Darnald's scrutiny, all I've all I'm getting at

1483
01:20:19,439 --> 01:20:23,479
Speaker 2: is does he still deserve the stigma because of his

1484
01:20:23,560 --> 01:20:27,479
Speaker 2: past foibles of being this guy where no matter how

1485
01:20:27,520 --> 01:20:29,600
Speaker 2: good he does, people are just still waiting for the

1486
01:20:29,640 --> 01:20:32,760
Speaker 2: other shoe to drop. I'm not mixed up. Early in

1487
01:20:32,800 --> 01:20:36,760
Speaker 2: his career and even this year, he's had issues with turnovers,

1488
01:20:36,840 --> 01:20:41,040
Speaker 2: he's had issues with inconsistency, but there's been a tremendous transformation.

1489
01:20:41,880 --> 01:20:45,160
Speaker 2: And this is a guy who's highly efficient. He's got

1490
01:20:45,280 --> 01:20:49,000
Speaker 2: elite passing talent. He threw for four thousand yards this year.

1491
01:20:49,320 --> 01:20:52,000
Speaker 2: He led every quarterback in the NFL with a one

1492
01:20:52,160 --> 01:20:55,840
Speaker 2: twenty two passer rating this year, major clutch performance over

1493
01:20:55,920 --> 01:20:59,200
Speaker 2: Matt Stafford the Rams three forty six and three touchdowns.

1494
01:20:59,560 --> 01:21:02,760
Speaker 2: But again, and as many of the callers said, if

1495
01:21:02,760 --> 01:21:05,880
Speaker 2: he loses Sunday, it all goes out the window. Again.

1496
01:21:06,000 --> 01:21:10,080
Speaker 2: If he wins, he pretty much shuts somebody up. So

1497
01:21:10,479 --> 01:21:12,320
Speaker 2: for that to be kind of an all or nothing

1498
01:21:12,439 --> 01:21:15,160
Speaker 2: premise seems to put a lot of pressure on a guy.

1499
01:21:15,240 --> 01:21:17,760
Speaker 2: So I'm hoping for the best for Sam, even though

1500
01:21:17,760 --> 01:21:20,360
Speaker 2: I got New England plus four and a half points

1501
01:21:20,640 --> 01:21:22,800
Speaker 2: coming up. So much stuff to get to in the NBA.

1502
01:21:23,200 --> 01:21:26,280
Speaker 2: Keep it locked to the Bernie Frattle Show nine nine,

1503
01:21:26,400 --> 01:21:28,800
Speaker 2: six six three sixty nine. Keep it locks the midnight hour.

1504
01:21:28,880 --> 01:21:35,800
Speaker 2: The that's right, you heard the man. Bernie Fraddle Show

1505
01:21:35,880 --> 01:21:39,000
Speaker 2: keeps rolling right along. My name is Bernie Frattle. Come

1506
01:21:39,040 --> 01:21:41,559
Speaker 2: to your line from the Fox Sports Radio studios here in

1507
01:21:41,600 --> 01:21:45,639
Speaker 2: Las Vegas. Take you after three in Pacific six am Eastern.

1508
01:21:46,080 --> 01:21:50,320
Speaker 2: We are about fourteen hours and thirty minutes away to

1509
01:21:50,439 --> 01:21:54,160
Speaker 2: kick off of Super Bowl sixty. We've got other pressing business.

1510
01:21:54,200 --> 01:21:56,759
Speaker 2: So much news to get to in the NBA. Another

1511
01:21:56,880 --> 01:22:02,040
Speaker 2: robust week. Three simple words, it's that time. Mark Medina,

1512
01:22:02,439 --> 01:22:07,600
Speaker 2: Medina Magic, our Fox Sports Radio NBA guru, also a

1513
01:22:07,640 --> 01:22:11,040
Speaker 2: writer for Essentially Sports, clearly has his finger on the

1514
01:22:11,040 --> 01:22:15,120
Speaker 2: pulse of the NBA. Mark, it was a pretty robust

1515
01:22:16,000 --> 01:22:21,519
Speaker 2: trade week in the NBA. I thought for various reasons. Now,

1516
01:22:21,920 --> 01:22:24,080
Speaker 2: before I get to the specific bullet points, I want

1517
01:22:24,080 --> 01:22:25,639
Speaker 2: to hit on what stood out to you most.

1518
01:22:26,960 --> 01:22:29,240
Speaker 24: What's up to me is that Jannis House and Takupo

1519
01:22:29,320 --> 01:22:32,920
Speaker 24: didn't go anywhere, and that was something I didn't think

1520
01:22:32,920 --> 01:22:35,720
Speaker 24: the Bucks would pull the trigger on it because you know,

1521
01:22:35,760 --> 01:22:38,720
Speaker 24: they would expect such a long haul because it's their

1522
01:22:38,800 --> 01:22:42,320
Speaker 24: franchise player. But up until the eleventh hour, there's always

1523
01:22:42,360 --> 01:22:45,080
Speaker 24: that possibility. Okay, maybe he's going to go to Minnesota,

1524
01:22:45,120 --> 01:22:48,120
Speaker 24: maybe he's going to go to Golden State, maybe New York,

1525
01:22:48,200 --> 01:22:52,120
Speaker 24: and through all the speculation and angst lines up not

1526
01:22:52,439 --> 01:22:54,519
Speaker 24: being a thing. But that doesn't mean all's well, that

1527
01:22:54,680 --> 01:22:56,880
Speaker 24: ends well. This might be something that they have to

1528
01:22:56,920 --> 01:23:00,360
Speaker 24: revisit once the offseason has so.

1529
01:23:00,720 --> 01:23:03,759
Speaker 2: Is it more of a situation Mark where the Bucks

1530
01:23:03,800 --> 01:23:06,920
Speaker 2: did not receive a sufficient offer that would be high

1531
01:23:07,000 --> 01:23:09,599
Speaker 2: enough to justify trading him.

1532
01:23:09,760 --> 01:23:12,640
Speaker 24: Yeah, I think That's really what it was. You know,

1533
01:23:13,040 --> 01:23:16,040
Speaker 24: I think the Bucks felt that they didn't have enough

1534
01:23:16,680 --> 01:23:21,439
Speaker 24: you know, star talent draft combinations to really warrant the trade. Now,

1535
01:23:21,720 --> 01:23:26,479
Speaker 24: Janasotatakumpo has said publicly that he never requested a trade,

1536
01:23:26,479 --> 01:23:29,679
Speaker 24: and I do believe that he's never requested a trade

1537
01:23:29,680 --> 01:23:33,200
Speaker 24: out right, But I think there's been enough signals to suggest,

1538
01:23:33,240 --> 01:23:36,200
Speaker 24: you know what, like he's fealing angst that the Bucks

1539
01:23:36,200 --> 01:23:40,680
Speaker 24: aren't in championship contention, and so yeah, I think it

1540
01:23:40,760 --> 01:23:43,120
Speaker 24: really came down to the Bucks are willing to listen

1541
01:23:43,600 --> 01:23:45,880
Speaker 24: to what teams have to offer, but they concluded, you

1542
01:23:45,920 --> 01:23:48,839
Speaker 24: know what, we feel that we can get better offers

1543
01:23:49,439 --> 01:23:52,320
Speaker 24: in the offseason, you know, leaning into the NBA Draft,

1544
01:23:52,360 --> 01:23:55,479
Speaker 24: when teams are more willing to dangle draft picks as

1545
01:23:55,560 --> 01:23:58,320
Speaker 24: leverage and there's you know, more of a value of it,

1546
01:23:58,800 --> 01:24:02,720
Speaker 24: as well as other teams having more clarity on what

1547
01:24:02,760 --> 01:24:05,200
Speaker 24: the roster needs are once the season ends.

1548
01:24:05,760 --> 01:24:10,000
Speaker 2: How surprised were you that the Clippers traded James Harden

1549
01:24:10,040 --> 01:24:12,200
Speaker 2: and how surprised were you that Cleveland was the leader

1550
01:24:12,240 --> 01:24:13,280
Speaker 2: to get him.

1551
01:24:13,800 --> 01:24:17,120
Speaker 24: Yeah, I was initially surprised, only because there wasn't really

1552
01:24:17,160 --> 01:24:20,240
Speaker 24: any build up about this and the Clippers, even though

1553
01:24:20,720 --> 01:24:23,240
Speaker 24: you know they're not a contending team, they've you know,

1554
01:24:23,479 --> 01:24:27,080
Speaker 24: really played strong basketball is the late and James Harden

1555
01:24:27,120 --> 01:24:29,200
Speaker 24: was a major part of that. But the more I

1556
01:24:29,240 --> 01:24:32,639
Speaker 24: you know, learned about it and talked to people, I'm

1557
01:24:32,680 --> 01:24:36,000
Speaker 24: not surprised about it because the Clippers they're trying to

1558
01:24:36,040 --> 01:24:39,519
Speaker 24: have financial flexibility this summer and next so that they

1559
01:24:39,520 --> 01:24:42,280
Speaker 24: can either you know, build a better roster around Kawhi

1560
01:24:42,360 --> 01:24:45,879
Speaker 24: Leonard or you know, he only has one near lessons contract,

1561
01:24:45,920 --> 01:24:48,840
Speaker 24: prepare for the future without him. And I think they

1562
01:24:49,000 --> 01:24:52,920
Speaker 24: felt with James Harden, he's thirty six years old. Even

1563
01:24:52,960 --> 01:24:54,680
Speaker 24: though they're paying him a lot of money now, they

1564
01:24:54,680 --> 01:24:57,519
Speaker 24: don't feel comfortable really paying him a lot, even with

1565
01:24:57,600 --> 01:25:01,200
Speaker 24: his forty seven million dollar player option guarantee a good

1566
01:25:01,280 --> 01:25:03,639
Speaker 24: chunk of it. So they thought, you know what, it's

1567
01:25:03,680 --> 01:25:05,920
Speaker 24: better to cut her losses now. I think James Harden

1568
01:25:06,240 --> 01:25:08,519
Speaker 24: for the first time in his career, you know, when

1569
01:25:08,520 --> 01:25:12,559
Speaker 24: it came to exits, I was actually viewing this as

1570
01:25:12,600 --> 01:25:16,360
Speaker 24: a win win. And so with Cleveland, there are question

1571
01:25:16,479 --> 01:25:20,160
Speaker 24: marks because Darius Garland has had a toe injury. You know,

1572
01:25:20,240 --> 01:25:23,760
Speaker 24: I've been told from people in the know that he's

1573
01:25:23,800 --> 01:25:27,000
Speaker 24: not likely to play until after All Star break, so

1574
01:25:27,080 --> 01:25:30,639
Speaker 24: that's February seventeenth. I believe against the Denver Nuggets.

1575
01:25:30,920 --> 01:25:31,799
Speaker 7: But he is younger.

1576
01:25:31,880 --> 01:25:34,519
Speaker 24: He's twenty six years old. He's already a two time

1577
01:25:34,640 --> 01:25:37,960
Speaker 24: All Star. He's a natural point guard. So I think

1578
01:25:38,040 --> 01:25:41,120
Speaker 24: you know with this, with this trade, there's a chance

1579
01:25:41,160 --> 01:25:45,839
Speaker 24: at backfires because of Darius Carland's health, because James Harden

1580
01:25:46,840 --> 01:25:50,600
Speaker 24: has always disappeared in the playoffs, and you know he

1581
01:25:50,680 --> 01:25:53,240
Speaker 24: has to share ball an only duties with Donovan Mitchell.

1582
01:25:53,640 --> 01:25:55,679
Speaker 24: But there is a chance that is win win because

1583
01:25:55,680 --> 01:25:59,719
Speaker 24: the Clippers went younger, Darius is more of a natural position,

1584
01:26:00,439 --> 01:26:03,559
Speaker 24: and with the Cavaliers they can make things easier for

1585
01:26:03,720 --> 01:26:07,720
Speaker 24: Donovan Mitchell. James Harden has a great track record with

1586
01:26:07,920 --> 01:26:10,720
Speaker 24: playing with established bigs and opened up the pick and

1587
01:26:10,800 --> 01:26:13,439
Speaker 24: roll game. And they have two really good bigs and

1588
01:26:13,520 --> 01:26:16,400
Speaker 24: have it Mobile and Jared Allen. But you know these

1589
01:26:16,400 --> 01:26:18,719
Speaker 24: things tend to be fluid that I could really see

1590
01:26:18,800 --> 01:26:20,080
Speaker 24: either scenario or half of them.

1591
01:26:20,600 --> 01:26:23,200
Speaker 2: So you made it easy for me with the operative

1592
01:26:23,200 --> 01:26:26,360
Speaker 2: word being disappear. We have to be honest. Is scoring

1593
01:26:26,400 --> 01:26:28,760
Speaker 2: average not only drops when we get to the playoffs,

1594
01:26:29,120 --> 01:26:33,040
Speaker 2: it drops progressively as the series go from games one

1595
01:26:33,080 --> 01:26:35,960
Speaker 2: to four, five to seven, et cetera. And in game

1596
01:26:36,000 --> 01:26:39,200
Speaker 2: sevens he's legendary. He's shooting like twenty two percent, and

1597
01:26:39,280 --> 01:26:43,040
Speaker 2: he's really disappeared in those big games. So how do

1598
01:26:43,120 --> 01:26:46,360
Speaker 2: you reconcile that if you're the Cleveland Calves. The Lakers

1599
01:26:46,400 --> 01:26:48,479
Speaker 2: have been playing pretty good basketball. I saw Cleveland turn

1600
01:26:48,520 --> 01:26:51,639
Speaker 2: on the Jets against him the internet and there were

1601
01:26:51,640 --> 01:26:54,960
Speaker 2: two levels above. So how do they reconcile that with

1602
01:26:55,120 --> 01:26:57,880
Speaker 2: James Harden? Is he going to just find magic in

1603
01:26:57,920 --> 01:26:59,960
Speaker 2: a bottle? I mean he's in past prolo.

1604
01:27:01,000 --> 01:27:01,280
Speaker 7: Yeah.

1605
01:27:01,400 --> 01:27:04,280
Speaker 24: I mean it's a fair question, and we've seen it

1606
01:27:04,360 --> 01:27:08,080
Speaker 24: time and time again. James Harden not come through in

1607
01:27:08,120 --> 01:27:10,519
Speaker 24: the clutch and playoff games, whether it's health related or

1608
01:27:10,520 --> 01:27:14,960
Speaker 24: performance relate. I think the way the Cavaliers are justifying

1609
01:27:15,000 --> 01:27:19,080
Speaker 24: this is two things. One, for all of the uncertain

1610
01:27:19,360 --> 01:27:21,360
Speaker 24: if James Harden will show up in the playoffs, they

1611
01:27:21,360 --> 01:27:24,839
Speaker 24: have more confidence he'll at least be available than Darius Garland,

1612
01:27:24,840 --> 01:27:28,200
Speaker 24: at least in the short term, because his injury history

1613
01:27:28,400 --> 01:27:31,439
Speaker 24: these past two years haven't been reliable. So that's point

1614
01:27:31,479 --> 01:27:36,360
Speaker 24: number one. Point number two. I think that there's optimism

1615
01:27:36,439 --> 01:27:39,720
Speaker 24: that because James Harden isn't the guy. It starts with

1616
01:27:39,800 --> 01:27:43,280
Speaker 24: Donovan Mitchell that they can absorb, you know, him not

1617
01:27:43,800 --> 01:27:47,439
Speaker 24: playing his best in the postseason, or the other scenario

1618
01:27:47,560 --> 01:27:51,360
Speaker 24: that he's making life easier for Donovan Mitchell and vice versa,

1619
01:27:51,479 --> 01:27:54,880
Speaker 24: that both players are fresh for the playoffs. And so

1620
01:27:55,560 --> 01:27:59,040
Speaker 24: these previous scenarios when he disappeared when he was the

1621
01:27:59,080 --> 01:28:01,360
Speaker 24: main guy, isn't going to be as likely. But look,

1622
01:28:01,400 --> 01:28:05,000
Speaker 24: I think when you look at this trade, it's almost

1623
01:28:05,080 --> 01:28:07,680
Speaker 24: choose your own adventure. It can be very win win,

1624
01:28:08,200 --> 01:28:10,759
Speaker 24: but it could also blow up in either team's face

1625
01:28:10,960 --> 01:28:13,400
Speaker 24: because of all these different circumstances that we outlined.

1626
01:28:13,880 --> 01:28:16,720
Speaker 2: Total Mark Medina Medina Magic at a Fox Sports Radio

1627
01:28:16,760 --> 01:28:21,680
Speaker 2: and be a guru also writer for Essentially Sports. I

1628
01:28:21,680 --> 01:28:23,680
Speaker 2: want to talk about Kevin Durant. We know that in

1629
01:28:23,720 --> 01:28:27,600
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five he veted a potential trade to the

1630
01:28:27,600 --> 01:28:32,040
Speaker 2: Minnesota Timberwolves. It's my understanding he did that again recently

1631
01:28:32,600 --> 01:28:35,160
Speaker 2: because he didn't want to play for Chris Finch, but

1632
01:28:35,400 --> 01:28:38,880
Speaker 2: yet he's open to other trades. Can you tell us

1633
01:28:38,880 --> 01:28:40,160
Speaker 2: what's the latest with Kevin Durant.

1634
01:28:40,760 --> 01:28:43,320
Speaker 24: Yeah, I don't think. I mean, he agreed to an

1635
01:28:43,320 --> 01:28:47,960
Speaker 24: extension with the Rockets, and I guess we've seen in

1636
01:28:48,000 --> 01:28:51,120
Speaker 24: today's NBA that contracts don't mean anything. But I would

1637
01:28:51,160 --> 01:28:55,479
Speaker 24: be very surprised if I see Kevin Durant in another

1638
01:28:55,640 --> 01:28:58,120
Speaker 24: uniform before the end of his career. I think he's

1639
01:28:58,120 --> 01:29:01,439
Speaker 24: going to retire as Houston Rocket and that's the end

1640
01:29:01,439 --> 01:29:01,680
Speaker 24: of that.

1641
01:29:01,880 --> 01:29:02,040
Speaker 15: Now.

1642
01:29:02,080 --> 01:29:04,760
Speaker 24: I know that obviously the Rockets have had it up

1643
01:29:04,760 --> 01:29:07,080
Speaker 24: and down. Season will look very promised in the beginning.

1644
01:29:07,160 --> 01:29:11,519
Speaker 24: Now it's been a slog but I don't think that

1645
01:29:11,600 --> 01:29:14,759
Speaker 24: he's going anywhere, And if they're going to make changes,

1646
01:29:14,800 --> 01:29:16,160
Speaker 24: it's going to be with other players.

1647
01:29:17,560 --> 01:29:20,479
Speaker 2: Let's talk about the Golden State Warriors. I'm having a

1648
01:29:20,520 --> 01:29:23,559
Speaker 2: hard time believing that they did not at least take

1649
01:29:23,600 --> 01:29:27,559
Speaker 2: phone calls or shop. And I use that word in

1650
01:29:27,560 --> 01:29:31,639
Speaker 2: the coloquial sense. Draymond Green, can you set the record

1651
01:29:31,680 --> 01:29:32,719
Speaker 2: straight on that if possible.

1652
01:29:33,600 --> 01:29:37,040
Speaker 24: Yeah, I mean, look, we're we're not in the negotiating room,

1653
01:29:37,080 --> 01:29:40,960
Speaker 24: we're not wiretapping phones, so you know we're we're not

1654
01:29:41,160 --> 01:29:45,880
Speaker 24: witnessed to it. But I think Mike Dunlavey was playing

1655
01:29:45,960 --> 01:29:48,720
Speaker 24: semantics here when he was saying that Raymond Green was

1656
01:29:48,720 --> 01:29:53,200
Speaker 24: not in the conversations. You know, when he was talking

1657
01:29:53,680 --> 01:29:55,680
Speaker 24: to teams. He said that he was only in the

1658
01:29:55,680 --> 01:30:01,800
Speaker 24: conversations when other teams were inquiring him. Draymond Green said

1659
01:30:01,840 --> 01:30:05,880
Speaker 24: on his podcast that you know, Mike Dunleyvy talked with

1660
01:30:06,000 --> 01:30:09,240
Speaker 24: him and said, look like, if we get Yannest, it's

1661
01:30:09,280 --> 01:30:12,120
Speaker 24: going to be either you or Jimmy Butler. And when

1662
01:30:12,120 --> 01:30:14,479
Speaker 24: you look at that, you think, okay, well, which one's

1663
01:30:14,520 --> 01:30:19,559
Speaker 24: telling the truth? I think Mike Dunleyvy wasn't necessarily lying,

1664
01:30:19,720 --> 01:30:22,120
Speaker 24: but I think if he was being dishonest, if that

1665
01:30:22,160 --> 01:30:25,679
Speaker 24: makes sense. And here's where I here's where I'm distinguishing it.

1666
01:30:25,760 --> 01:30:27,880
Speaker 24: Because of what we're talking about with the Bucks and

1667
01:30:27,920 --> 01:30:32,320
Speaker 24: Gianni Santo Tokupo and their reluctance to trade. I don't

1668
01:30:32,439 --> 01:30:36,200
Speaker 24: think that they really had many conversations with Milwaukee where

1669
01:30:36,200 --> 01:30:40,639
Speaker 24: it got to the point of what what player are

1670
01:30:40,680 --> 01:30:43,840
Speaker 24: you willing to attach here? I think that from the beginning,

1671
01:30:46,400 --> 01:30:51,240
Speaker 24: it's my understanding that they didn't express any disapproval over offers.

1672
01:30:51,240 --> 01:30:53,960
Speaker 24: They just weren't really communicated with the Warriors at all,

1673
01:30:54,120 --> 01:30:59,080
Speaker 24: and so they eventually pivoted to getting christofs Porzingos. So

1674
01:30:59,720 --> 01:31:03,080
Speaker 24: that's my read on it. But it did really come

1675
01:31:03,120 --> 01:31:08,080
Speaker 24: across very weird for Mike Dunleyvy to say those things,

1676
01:31:08,160 --> 01:31:11,760
Speaker 24: especially when Draymond was on record about their private conversations.

1677
01:31:11,800 --> 01:31:15,880
Speaker 24: The other thing that I was disappointed and also surprised

1678
01:31:16,120 --> 01:31:19,000
Speaker 24: was that, you know, he took these indirect shots at

1679
01:31:19,040 --> 01:31:22,920
Speaker 24: Jonathan Kaminga with which were unnecessary. And that's not to

1680
01:31:22,920 --> 01:31:25,519
Speaker 24: say that Jonathan Kaminga was blameless as a player and

1681
01:31:26,000 --> 01:31:28,880
Speaker 24: how his agent handled negotiations, but when there are a

1682
01:31:28,920 --> 01:31:31,960
Speaker 24: lot of questions that Mike Dunlevy had to answer about

1683
01:31:32,000 --> 01:31:34,840
Speaker 24: Chris Housporzingis and the health and you know, what kind

1684
01:31:34,880 --> 01:31:38,800
Speaker 24: of assurances and background did they get from the medicals

1685
01:31:39,120 --> 01:31:42,240
Speaker 24: on his health, you know, he was saying that, look like,

1686
01:31:42,400 --> 01:31:45,559
Speaker 24: we've also sent a player out that struggled to stay

1687
01:31:45,560 --> 01:31:49,400
Speaker 24: on the floor, and I didn't think that was necessary

1688
01:31:49,439 --> 01:31:51,400
Speaker 24: for him to, you know, kind of kick him on

1689
01:31:51,400 --> 01:31:53,920
Speaker 24: his way out with that they already made the trade.

1690
01:31:54,000 --> 01:31:56,719
Speaker 24: We knew the fit wasn't good, and we knew Jonathan

1691
01:31:56,800 --> 01:32:00,320
Speaker 24: Kaminga's inconsistency. So when it came to Mike dunley these

1692
01:32:00,560 --> 01:32:04,360
Speaker 24: press conference before the Lakers Warriors came, he missed on

1693
01:32:04,479 --> 01:32:08,320
Speaker 24: a lot of different notes, including you know, his explanation

1694
01:32:08,400 --> 01:32:10,880
Speaker 24: about Draymond and whether he was or wasn't part of

1695
01:32:10,960 --> 01:32:12,360
Speaker 24: trade negotiations.

1696
01:32:13,040 --> 01:32:15,639
Speaker 2: I'm in agreement. It felt like he was playing quote

1697
01:32:15,640 --> 01:32:18,360
Speaker 2: fast and loose with the truth as it will. Yeah,

1698
01:32:18,400 --> 01:32:21,000
Speaker 2: I'll draw a parallel. Did you just ever so quickly?

1699
01:32:21,000 --> 01:32:23,360
Speaker 2: I want to interject this, did you ever hear the

1700
01:32:23,439 --> 01:32:27,680
Speaker 2: story about you know, Michael Jordan and not wanting to

1701
01:32:28,000 --> 01:32:30,800
Speaker 2: have Isaiah Thomas on the ninety two Dream Team?

1702
01:32:31,080 --> 01:32:33,599
Speaker 24: Because yeah, I've heard that story a lot. There's been

1703
01:32:33,640 --> 01:32:36,080
Speaker 24: a lot of documentaries and books written about it.

1704
01:32:36,439 --> 01:32:38,439
Speaker 2: Right well, and he's he's sort of in denial, but

1705
01:32:38,520 --> 01:32:42,679
Speaker 2: he's he's not lying in terms of what transpired. Now,

1706
01:32:43,000 --> 01:32:45,400
Speaker 2: very few people know the story, and my source is solid,

1707
01:32:46,000 --> 01:32:47,760
Speaker 2: you know what, I bet a finger. I don't know

1708
01:32:47,800 --> 01:32:51,479
Speaker 2: about that, but I ninety nine percent. So they faxed

1709
01:32:51,560 --> 01:32:55,519
Speaker 2: Jerry Krause faxed Michael Jordan the roster. He says, we

1710
01:32:55,640 --> 01:32:58,120
Speaker 2: need you on the team, and Jordan goes, I don't

1711
01:32:58,160 --> 01:33:00,920
Speaker 2: think I want to play. And so they faxed him

1712
01:33:00,920 --> 01:33:04,040
Speaker 2: the roster again and he said in Isaiah's name was

1713
01:33:04,040 --> 01:33:06,080
Speaker 2: still on it. He goes, now I'm really not interested,

1714
01:33:06,479 --> 01:33:09,040
Speaker 2: and Jordan says, but fax be the roster again, and

1715
01:33:09,080 --> 01:33:11,479
Speaker 2: they faxed him the roster again with Isaiah's name off it,

1716
01:33:11,640 --> 01:33:14,519
Speaker 2: and he said, okay, I'll play now. I heard that

1717
01:33:14,560 --> 01:33:16,200
Speaker 2: from a pretty dark, good source, and I mean it's

1718
01:33:16,240 --> 01:33:19,559
Speaker 2: thirty four years ago, right, But Jordan never really came out.

1719
01:33:19,760 --> 01:33:21,360
Speaker 2: He's not lying when he said I never came out

1720
01:33:21,360 --> 01:33:23,080
Speaker 2: and said I didn't want to play with Isaiah Thomas.

1721
01:33:23,160 --> 01:33:26,280
Speaker 2: But it was pretty clear after they walked off the

1722
01:33:26,280 --> 01:33:28,639
Speaker 2: floor in the ninety one playoffs and didn't shake hands.

1723
01:33:28,680 --> 01:33:31,799
Speaker 2: The bad blood was established in the Jordan rules and all. Yeah,

1724
01:33:31,840 --> 01:33:34,120
Speaker 2: so you get in front of the public eye like that.

1725
01:33:34,600 --> 01:33:39,400
Speaker 2: I don't have empathy for Mike Dunley because I'm more

1726
01:33:39,400 --> 01:33:42,640
Speaker 2: candid than he is, But I have sympathy I understand,

1727
01:33:42,680 --> 01:33:45,760
Speaker 2: and Draymond is such a hothead. I mean, they're still

1728
01:33:45,760 --> 01:33:47,639
Speaker 2: trying to win even though they got no shot this year.

1729
01:33:47,680 --> 01:33:48,800
Speaker 2: You get the final award on that.

1730
01:33:49,360 --> 01:33:52,240
Speaker 24: Yeah, I mean, look, when your general manager is the

1731
01:33:52,320 --> 01:33:56,280
Speaker 24: best thing to say is nothing at all and being evasive.

1732
01:33:56,320 --> 01:33:59,360
Speaker 24: And you know, as a reporter you obviously want candor,

1733
01:33:59,400 --> 01:34:02,759
Speaker 24: but just knowing how these teams operate, if a player

1734
01:34:02,840 --> 01:34:05,840
Speaker 24: wants to divulge private conversations, you know, if it's a

1735
01:34:05,880 --> 01:34:08,479
Speaker 24: star player, they have every rate to do that, it's

1736
01:34:08,520 --> 01:34:11,679
Speaker 24: their future, and to try to go tip for ted

1737
01:34:11,840 --> 01:34:15,439
Speaker 24: and clarify things and wind up doing more harm than good.

1738
01:34:15,720 --> 01:34:20,040
Speaker 24: You know, the usual GM playbook goes down to, hey,

1739
01:34:20,320 --> 01:34:24,120
Speaker 24: we're not going to get into specifics here. You know, obviously,

1740
01:34:24,280 --> 01:34:27,320
Speaker 24: players in US talk and we have private conversations. I'll

1741
01:34:27,400 --> 01:34:30,760
Speaker 24: leave that be, and generally you can always make it known. Hey,

1742
01:34:30,800 --> 01:34:35,360
Speaker 24: when you're trying to make big deals and make big swings,

1743
01:34:35,400 --> 01:34:39,400
Speaker 24: like you have to consider almost everything. So you know,

1744
01:34:39,520 --> 01:34:42,679
Speaker 24: unless it's your superstar player and you're trying to send

1745
01:34:42,720 --> 01:34:46,120
Speaker 24: a notion that someone's untouchable everything else, you kind of

1746
01:34:46,200 --> 01:34:49,639
Speaker 24: let it fall for itself because a GM a lot

1747
01:34:49,640 --> 01:34:52,040
Speaker 24: of times there's no value in trying to clarify the

1748
01:34:52,080 --> 01:34:55,280
Speaker 24: public record because their job isn't to be in a

1749
01:34:55,360 --> 01:34:58,120
Speaker 24: storian and seek accuracy. Their job is to try to

1750
01:34:58,120 --> 01:35:01,479
Speaker 24: assemble the best roster available, number one, as well as

1751
01:35:01,560 --> 01:35:08,439
Speaker 24: manage everything among players and coaching staff. So yeah, I

1752
01:35:08,520 --> 01:35:10,639
Speaker 24: kind of fell out of the GM playbook, to say

1753
01:35:10,640 --> 01:35:11,120
Speaker 24: the least.

1754
01:35:11,479 --> 01:35:13,760
Speaker 2: Fair enough. Talking with Mark Medina Medina Magic at Fox

1755
01:35:13,760 --> 01:35:16,719
Speaker 2: Sports Radio NBIA Guru every Saturday night and Sunday morning

1756
01:35:17,120 --> 01:35:20,000
Speaker 2: on the Bernie foushow also a writer for Essentially Sports.

1757
01:35:21,040 --> 01:35:23,240
Speaker 2: I got to talk about Anthony Davis because I saw

1758
01:35:23,320 --> 01:35:25,080
Speaker 2: what I thought, I believed to be one of the

1759
01:35:25,080 --> 01:35:28,240
Speaker 2: more oxymoronic statements I'd seen in a while, that the

1760
01:35:28,640 --> 01:35:32,080
Speaker 2: Wizards had, of course traded for Anthony Davis, but they're

1761
01:35:32,080 --> 01:35:33,760
Speaker 2: immediately going to shut him down for the rest of

1762
01:35:33,800 --> 01:35:37,000
Speaker 2: the year so he can quote be healthy for next season.

1763
01:35:37,880 --> 01:35:41,400
Speaker 2: He's at the art of delusion. What's the situation here

1764
01:35:41,439 --> 01:35:43,639
Speaker 2: with Anthony Davis and the Wizards and they gave him

1765
01:35:43,680 --> 01:35:45,679
Speaker 2: number twenty three, Jordan's old number.

1766
01:35:45,720 --> 01:35:50,639
Speaker 24: Your thoughts, well, look, I guess that's not sacriligious because

1767
01:35:50,680 --> 01:35:52,920
Speaker 24: of what we saw how Michael Jordan's career with the

1768
01:35:52,960 --> 01:35:55,840
Speaker 24: Wizards played out like that is not part of any

1769
01:35:55,880 --> 01:35:59,559
Speaker 24: of his own fame resume. But it seemed unnecessary as well.

1770
01:36:00,880 --> 01:36:04,120
Speaker 24: I'm not surprised that they would do that. It's not

1771
01:36:04,240 --> 01:36:07,000
Speaker 24: just because of Anthony Davis's injury history, but they also

1772
01:36:07,120 --> 01:36:09,559
Speaker 24: have a draft pick that they want to protect because

1773
01:36:10,360 --> 01:36:12,760
Speaker 24: if it falls, you know, one through eight, they're able

1774
01:36:12,760 --> 01:36:16,320
Speaker 24: to keep it. If not, they owe it. So that's

1775
01:36:16,400 --> 01:36:19,880
Speaker 24: point number one. Point number two. The Wizards haven't commented

1776
01:36:19,880 --> 01:36:22,120
Speaker 24: that publicly on that but I want to be surprised

1777
01:36:22,120 --> 01:36:25,600
Speaker 24: that he doesn't play this season. But Will Dawkins the

1778
01:36:25,640 --> 01:36:28,040
Speaker 24: Wizards GM has been on the record. He talked with

1779
01:36:28,080 --> 01:36:31,400
Speaker 24: me a few weeks ago, shortly after the Trey Young deal,

1780
01:36:31,560 --> 01:36:34,439
Speaker 24: and he said to his expectation that Tray Young is

1781
01:36:34,520 --> 01:36:37,479
Speaker 24: going to play shortly after the All Star break, and

1782
01:36:37,560 --> 01:36:41,759
Speaker 24: he said it's important for him to play meaningful games

1783
01:36:41,760 --> 01:36:45,880
Speaker 24: this season because they're trying to sell him on his

1784
01:36:46,000 --> 01:36:48,519
Speaker 24: long term future because he has a player option next season.

1785
01:36:48,600 --> 01:36:51,320
Speaker 24: He could very well opt out of that player option

1786
01:36:51,439 --> 01:36:54,240
Speaker 24: this summer, and they feel like they want to be

1787
01:36:54,280 --> 01:36:56,639
Speaker 24: able to sell him on the organization as well as

1788
01:36:56,920 --> 01:37:02,280
Speaker 24: establish a comfort level that the young guy. Alex sar Bill, Alcolabali,

1789
01:37:03,120 --> 01:37:07,560
Speaker 24: Trey Johnson are good guys that can establish good chemistry

1790
01:37:08,200 --> 01:37:11,160
Speaker 24: with Trey Young. So I get in today's NBA it's

1791
01:37:11,160 --> 01:37:13,040
Speaker 24: not a good look when teams are trying to tank,

1792
01:37:13,560 --> 01:37:16,160
Speaker 24: but I think in the Wizard's case, it's not shutting

1793
01:37:16,160 --> 01:37:19,000
Speaker 24: both players down. I think Trey Young will get some games,

1794
01:37:19,000 --> 01:37:23,040
Speaker 24: some run while Anthony Davis does heal and look, I

1795
01:37:23,080 --> 01:37:24,960
Speaker 24: think they can kind of say with the straight face

1796
01:37:25,000 --> 01:37:28,320
Speaker 24: because Anthony Davis has struggled to stay healthy all season.

1797
01:37:28,439 --> 01:37:31,599
Speaker 24: He has a current injury that it kind of makes sense.

1798
01:37:32,800 --> 01:37:38,680
Speaker 2: Finally, Mark, I want to circle back to Yannis. It

1799
01:37:38,760 --> 01:37:44,320
Speaker 2: was announced just the other day that Joannis intent Tokoople

1800
01:37:44,960 --> 01:37:50,200
Speaker 2: is an investor in the prediction market platform Calcy, and

1801
01:37:50,920 --> 01:37:55,400
Speaker 2: I think that deserves some scrutiny with respect to potential

1802
01:37:55,439 --> 01:38:00,960
Speaker 2: conflicts of interest that people know what Calchy does. I'msions,

1803
01:38:01,320 --> 01:38:05,280
Speaker 2: but this does not look like something. This isn't a

1804
01:38:05,360 --> 01:38:07,680
Speaker 2: good look to me as it were in light of

1805
01:38:07,720 --> 01:38:09,920
Speaker 2: recent news events. What are your thoughts on it?

1806
01:38:10,600 --> 01:38:14,519
Speaker 24: Yeah, it's a giant conflict of interest, and this is

1807
01:38:14,560 --> 01:38:19,760
Speaker 24: something that that NBA Commissioner Adam Siller has to address immediately.

1808
01:38:20,000 --> 01:38:22,439
Speaker 24: And if he's questioned about it during an All Star

1809
01:38:22,520 --> 01:38:25,559
Speaker 24: weekend next week in La into a doom. He can't

1810
01:38:25,600 --> 01:38:29,639
Speaker 24: give these evasive lawyer double speak comments about it. I mean,

1811
01:38:29,920 --> 01:38:34,960
Speaker 24: here's why this is such an issue here. Kelsey is

1812
01:38:35,120 --> 01:38:39,160
Speaker 24: a gambling service where you're you know, predicting things, You're

1813
01:38:39,200 --> 01:38:44,439
Speaker 24: investing on potential outcomes. And look, before this whole partnership happened,

1814
01:38:44,479 --> 01:38:48,000
Speaker 24: people were betting on where Jannisansovakumpo was going to play

1815
01:38:48,000 --> 01:38:52,800
Speaker 24: basketball for the deadline, So it's it opens up a

1816
01:38:52,960 --> 01:38:57,160
Speaker 24: giant Pandora's box for anyone here. So I know, the

1817
01:38:57,280 --> 01:39:02,720
Speaker 24: NBA generally isn't in the business of policing which endorsements

1818
01:39:02,840 --> 01:39:05,720
Speaker 24: players have. I get it, it's their pocketbooks. You don't

1819
01:39:05,760 --> 01:39:08,719
Speaker 24: want to be overly controlling, but they control the line

1820
01:39:08,720 --> 01:39:12,120
Speaker 24: here because it can affect the integrity of the game.

1821
01:39:12,320 --> 01:39:15,640
Speaker 24: So it's very disappointing that Yannis would do it, and

1822
01:39:15,680 --> 01:39:18,759
Speaker 24: it's also very off brand for him. He was seen

1823
01:39:18,800 --> 01:39:21,760
Speaker 24: as this, you know, the humble superstar that was just

1824
01:39:21,800 --> 01:39:25,920
Speaker 24: so grateful that the Milwaukee Bucks gave him a chance

1825
01:39:25,960 --> 01:39:29,400
Speaker 24: and drafted him, even though he was a very intriguing

1826
01:39:29,439 --> 01:39:32,760
Speaker 24: town but an undeveloped talent, and you know, coming from

1827
01:39:32,840 --> 01:39:35,320
Speaker 24: an immigrant background where you know, he grew up in

1828
01:39:35,400 --> 01:39:39,080
Speaker 24: Nigeria and Greece and now he's embracing the immigrant story

1829
01:39:39,120 --> 01:39:42,679
Speaker 24: in the United States and just enjoying every kind of perk. Now,

1830
01:39:42,760 --> 01:39:47,160
Speaker 24: this just seems like NBA divish kind of behavior and trolling,

1831
01:39:47,240 --> 01:39:49,519
Speaker 24: and it should be beneath him. I mean, it's just

1832
01:39:49,840 --> 01:39:52,240
Speaker 24: it didn't sit well with me at all.

1833
01:39:52,120 --> 01:39:52,680
Speaker 7: When he did that.

1834
01:39:53,960 --> 01:39:57,439
Speaker 2: Well, look, when you consider this is on the heels

1835
01:39:57,439 --> 01:40:01,280
Speaker 2: with Johntay Porter and Terry Rosier and now Sily this

1836
01:40:01,560 --> 01:40:06,280
Speaker 2: most recent gamble, including you know, Chauncey Billups. You would

1837
01:40:06,280 --> 01:40:08,960
Speaker 2: think that the league is at the height of sensitivity

1838
01:40:08,960 --> 01:40:13,719
Speaker 2: towards sports gambling and the optics of a superstar investing

1839
01:40:13,760 --> 01:40:16,799
Speaker 2: in a platform like this, especially as you just said,

1840
01:40:17,320 --> 01:40:19,720
Speaker 2: it was out there that it was likely he was

1841
01:40:19,760 --> 01:40:23,360
Speaker 2: going to be traded. He was open to be traded now,

1842
01:40:23,720 --> 01:40:28,519
Speaker 2: so someone trading on that information could be damaged by that, right,

1843
01:40:28,640 --> 01:40:31,360
Speaker 2: So it's just the optics when you add it all up.

1844
01:40:31,479 --> 01:40:33,640
Speaker 2: I hate the stage saying it's a perfect storm, but

1845
01:40:33,720 --> 01:40:35,280
Speaker 2: it is the perfect storm.

1846
01:40:35,640 --> 01:40:37,080
Speaker 24: Yeah, no, it very much on it.

1847
01:40:37,200 --> 01:40:39,160
Speaker 9: Before all this, you know, we were.

1848
01:40:39,120 --> 01:40:43,519
Speaker 24: Talking about the gambling issues and the prop bets. We

1849
01:40:43,520 --> 01:40:47,120
Speaker 24: were talking about players that were marginal, end of rotation players.

1850
01:40:47,280 --> 01:40:50,559
Speaker 24: And you know, the other thing is that I argued,

1851
01:40:50,600 --> 01:40:53,680
Speaker 24: even though it wasn't great news, you could look at

1852
01:40:53,720 --> 01:40:57,200
Speaker 24: through the lens that because there's these partnerships in South

1853
01:40:57,280 --> 01:41:01,600
Speaker 24: the open, they were able to detect on usual betting behavior.

1854
01:41:02,520 --> 01:41:05,320
Speaker 24: But here this is a whole different animal. Here we're

1855
01:41:05,320 --> 01:41:09,519
Speaker 24: talking about one of the faces of the league, one

1856
01:41:09,520 --> 01:41:14,720
Speaker 24: of the top NBA stars right now, And again, what

1857
01:41:14,760 --> 01:41:18,240
Speaker 24: you said is the giant nail on the head, huge

1858
01:41:18,320 --> 01:41:21,439
Speaker 24: conflict of interest. So the NBA has got to come

1859
01:41:21,520 --> 01:41:24,800
Speaker 24: down hard on this. Knowing how Adam Silver is, my

1860
01:41:25,160 --> 01:41:28,280
Speaker 24: suspicion and disappointment is that he's going to double speak

1861
01:41:28,320 --> 01:41:32,280
Speaker 24: it and do nothing. And that's disappointing if that winds

1862
01:41:32,360 --> 01:41:37,680
Speaker 24: up being what happens here, because you know, they can't

1863
01:41:37,720 --> 01:41:39,920
Speaker 24: just look the other way only because they don't want

1864
01:41:39,920 --> 01:41:42,360
Speaker 24: to make a star player mad or they want to

1865
01:41:42,360 --> 01:41:46,080
Speaker 24: make money. They have to establish boundaries and have integrity.

1866
01:41:47,240 --> 01:41:49,640
Speaker 2: Mark great Stuff is always as usual. We wish we

1867
01:41:49,640 --> 01:41:53,080
Speaker 2: had more time, but no doubt between now and next week,

1868
01:41:53,320 --> 01:41:56,880
Speaker 2: well the NBA newsigle, we'll bring plenty more at chop up.

1869
01:41:57,240 --> 01:41:59,599
Speaker 24: Hey love me leave you with this. Steph Curry, Lebron

1870
01:41:59,680 --> 01:42:02,439
Speaker 24: James talking after the game tonight about teaming up.

1871
01:42:02,840 --> 01:42:03,639
Speaker 11: We'll see what happens.

1872
01:42:04,120 --> 01:42:06,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, well we'll see what happens that that's happened before.

1873
01:42:07,040 --> 01:42:10,040
Speaker 2: Uh so we'll see. You never know that that's gonna

1874
01:42:10,040 --> 01:42:12,840
Speaker 2: be another topic coming up. Where is the first year

1875
01:42:12,920 --> 01:42:15,240
Speaker 2: Because I'll tell you this right now, he ain't retiring

1876
01:42:17,040 --> 01:42:17,599
Speaker 2: great stuff.

1877

1900
01:43:40,880 --> 01:43:44,360

1901
01:43:44,640 --> 01:43:47,960
Speaker 2: and the calendar I usually give it out because up

1902
01:43:48,000 --> 01:43:50,840
Speaker 2: next to you're gonna see the Combine, and you're gonna

Speaker 2: see mini camps, and you're gonna see the underwear Olympics,

1904

Speaker 2: and you're gonna see the draft and and so on

1905
01:43:55,600 --> 01:43:59,720
Speaker 2: for there. That's why many things deserve year on coverage.

1906
01:44:00,280 --> 01:44:07,120
Speaker 2: That's why it's time for Brandon's Fantasy Files.

1907

Speaker 20: Fantasy Files with Brandon Deutsch, your go to fantasy football segment.

01:44:13,040 --> 01:44:13,680
Speaker 9: Are you got one on?

1909
01:44:15,320 --> 01:44:15,920
Speaker 2: What is up?

1910
01:44:15,960 --> 01:44:20,840
Speaker 25: Everybody happy? Super Bowl Sunday and fantasy football. People are

1911
01:44:20,880 --> 01:44:24,200
Speaker 25: going to start talking about if they aren't already. After

1912
01:44:24,240 --> 01:44:25,720
Speaker 25: the Super Bowl, it's going to be a big thing.

1913
01:44:26,000 --> 01:44:30,200
Speaker 25: Everyone thinks, oh, it's baseball, it's basketball, it's World Cup.

1914
01:44:30,680 --> 01:44:33,440
Speaker 25: But if you play in a dynasty league, my goodness,

1915
01:44:33,600 --> 01:44:36,200
Speaker 25: are you in for a treat. This is going to

1916
01:44:36,240 --> 01:44:39,720
Speaker 25: be a class with a lot of good players coming in,

1917
01:44:39,840 --> 01:44:43,519
Speaker 25: especially in redraft. Makai Lemon. I wanted to give some

1918
01:44:43,600 --> 01:44:45,840
Speaker 25: credit really quick this USC guy, and I'm trying to

1919
01:44:45,840 --> 01:44:48,840
Speaker 25: put my bias aside because I went to SC. This

1920
01:44:48,960 --> 01:44:52,240
Speaker 25: guy is projected to be a top fifteen pick. Now,

1921
01:44:52,240 --> 01:44:54,920
Speaker 25: a lot of people say Jordan Tyson from ASC, a

1922
01:44:54,920 --> 01:44:59,840
Speaker 25: little bit twitchier, probably a little more upside, and un

1923
01:45:00,040 --> 01:45:03,439
Speaker 25: I'll take a vertical threat with an incredible eighty five

1924
01:45:04,000 --> 01:45:07,400
Speaker 25: PFF grade eighty five percent contest to catch rate in

1925
01:45:07,400 --> 01:45:10,360
Speaker 25: his PFF receiving grades over eighty eight as well. So

1926
01:45:10,400 --> 01:45:13,160
Speaker 25: that guy's great as well. But makayle Lemon's the best

1927
01:45:13,160 --> 01:45:15,679
Speaker 25: receiver in the draft. And I think he's the only

1928
01:45:15,760 --> 01:45:18,840
Speaker 25: receiver in the draft where it doesn't matter where he goes.

1929
01:45:19,360 --> 01:45:21,760
Speaker 25: And I'll give you a couple of reasons why. And

1930
01:45:21,800 --> 01:45:25,720
Speaker 25: this is also why I think he should be genuinely considered.

1931
01:45:26,120 --> 01:45:29,000
Speaker 25: I know, because of the running back position, Jeremiah loves

1932
01:45:29,040 --> 01:45:33,679
Speaker 25: gonna go one to one in Dynasty Redraft, but McKay

1933
01:45:33,760 --> 01:45:35,720
Speaker 25: lemon should be under consideration for that pick and he's

1934
01:45:35,760 --> 01:45:38,519
Speaker 25: automatically won two in my opinion, regardless of for he goes.

1935
01:45:38,680 --> 01:45:43,759
Speaker 25: Here's why. The dude's yards after catch incredible. He's incredible

1936
01:45:43,800 --> 01:45:47,559
Speaker 25: at catching the balls. Contested catch rates well over seventy percent,

1937
01:45:48,760 --> 01:45:51,360
Speaker 25: He's great with the ball in his hands, and he's

1938
01:45:51,439 --> 01:45:53,559
Speaker 25: not He's not gonna do the sexiest stuff on the

1939
01:45:53,560 --> 01:45:56,839
Speaker 25: football field. He's not going to outrun everybody like Tyreek

1940
01:45:56,920 --> 01:46:00,360
Speaker 25: Hill or Jamison Williams Xavier Worthy. He's not going to

1941
01:46:00,560 --> 01:46:02,960
Speaker 25: look the biggest on the football field. I mean he's

1942
01:46:03,000 --> 01:46:06,360
Speaker 25: five eleven six feet tall, maybe a buck seventy five,

1943
01:46:06,400 --> 01:46:08,840
Speaker 25: buck eighty five. He's not the biggest guy in the world.

1944
01:46:08,920 --> 01:46:11,000
Speaker 25: But what he does, he does everything right on the

1945
01:46:11,000 --> 01:46:13,760
Speaker 25: football field. He blocks, he can get you out of

1946
01:46:13,800 --> 01:46:18,599
Speaker 25: the slot, gets open. His route running's fantastic. He can

1947
01:46:19,160 --> 01:46:22,040
Speaker 25: evade tackles. I mean, this is a guy that I

1948
01:46:22,080 --> 01:46:26,639
Speaker 25: feel like is a carbon copy of JSN mixed with

1949
01:46:27,200 --> 01:46:29,679
Speaker 25: aman Ross Saint Brown. And in the modern NFL, those

1950
01:46:29,680 --> 01:46:32,200
Speaker 25: slot receivers are so valuable, and we've seen it in

1951
01:46:32,240 --> 01:46:36,080
Speaker 25: fantasy football, especially in the last half decade. Jsen finishes

1952
01:46:36,080 --> 01:46:38,000
Speaker 25: as the wide receiver too. BUCA does a lot of

1953
01:46:38,000 --> 01:46:40,240
Speaker 25: things in the slot wide receiver. One we go a

1954
01:46:40,280 --> 01:46:42,479
Speaker 25: few years ago, amaras Saint Brown. I mean, he's been

1955
01:46:42,479 --> 01:46:44,720
Speaker 25: the wide receiver three three seasons in a row. So

1956
01:46:44,760 --> 01:46:48,280
Speaker 25: if you're looking for this next superstar at the position

1957
01:46:48,320 --> 01:46:50,040
Speaker 25: that you're gonna need in every draft, and I'm I'm

1958
01:46:50,080 --> 01:46:51,800
Speaker 25: not even saying in Dynasty leagues if you're just going

1959
01:46:51,800 --> 01:46:54,400
Speaker 25: redraft in general, I think mkay Lemon will have an

1960
01:46:54,400 --> 01:46:57,160
Speaker 25: excellent rookie season and possibly the only guy that's gonna

1961
01:46:57,160 --> 01:46:59,880
Speaker 25: go over one k as a rookie guy never get

1962
01:47:00,160 --> 01:47:02,800
Speaker 25: doesn't seem to get hurt. We'll see what he does

1963
01:47:02,800 --> 01:47:07,040
Speaker 25: at the combine, but honestly, I hope he does poorly.

1964
01:47:07,280 --> 01:47:10,120
Speaker 25: For one reason, I want him to fall to a

1965
01:47:10,160 --> 01:47:13,000
Speaker 25: competent organization. I'm not saying the teams figuring in the

1966
01:47:13,000 --> 01:47:15,040
Speaker 25: top ten aren't competent, but I at least want him

1967
01:47:15,080 --> 01:47:17,920
Speaker 25: to fall to a good situation. And if you're picking

1968
01:47:17,920 --> 01:47:19,920
Speaker 25: in the top five or six, let's be real, you

1969
01:47:19,960 --> 01:47:22,080
Speaker 25: probably don't have a quarterback and it's probably not a

1970
01:47:22,080 --> 01:47:25,479
Speaker 25: great situation. That's just the fact, and it's no diss

1971
01:47:25,520 --> 01:47:28,280
Speaker 25: to those teams. But if he can fall to nine

1972
01:47:28,800 --> 01:47:32,559
Speaker 25: to the Kansas City Chiefs, that would be a perfect landing. Now,

1973
01:47:32,640 --> 01:47:36,160
Speaker 25: Jeremiah Love has also been linked to that to Kansas City.

1974
01:47:36,240 --> 01:47:38,720
Speaker 25: And I don't know how many of you guys remember this,

1975
01:47:38,800 --> 01:47:42,000
Speaker 25: but Clyde Edwards Hilaire was drafted in the first round

1976
01:47:42,120 --> 01:47:44,920
Speaker 25: in redraft leagues as a rookie when he was on

1977
01:47:44,920 --> 01:47:47,120
Speaker 25: the Kansas City Chiefs. So imagine with Jeremiah Love where

1978
01:47:47,160 --> 01:47:50,200
Speaker 25: he would go in that offense as a rookie. But

1979
01:47:50,280 --> 01:47:52,559
Speaker 25: I want to see Mikay Lemon either in Kansas City

1980
01:47:53,080 --> 01:47:55,720
Speaker 25: or the Los Angeles Rams pick thirteen. I don't think

1981
01:47:55,760 --> 01:47:58,559
Speaker 25: he gets past pick thirteen to the Rams. I think

1982
01:47:58,640 --> 01:48:01,519
Speaker 25: if he goes to one of those two plays, Davante Adams,

1983
01:48:01,600 --> 01:48:04,320
Speaker 25: we know is going to look a little more. I

1984
01:48:04,400 --> 01:48:06,760
Speaker 25: mean he's gonna age. I mean he's already thirty two.

1985
01:48:06,760 --> 01:48:09,280
Speaker 25: He's gonna be turning thirty three years old next season.

1986
01:48:09,760 --> 01:48:13,200
Speaker 25: You let MacKaye Lemon go in there, learn behind Pooka,

1987
01:48:13,640 --> 01:48:17,320
Speaker 25: learn behind Davante Adams. I think he can be the

1988
01:48:17,360 --> 01:48:19,559
Speaker 25: next Pooka Nakoa in terms of production.

1989
01:48:19,720 --> 01:48:20,240
Speaker 2: I really do.

1990
01:48:20,360 --> 01:48:22,200
Speaker 25: And it'd be crazy if they're on the same team

1991
01:48:22,320 --> 01:48:24,639
Speaker 25: and you go to Kansas City Rashi Rice. We don't

1992
01:48:24,680 --> 01:48:27,320
Speaker 25: know if he's going to get suspended again. Obviously there

1993
01:48:27,320 --> 01:48:30,439
Speaker 25: are some There's that stuff that came out about his

1994
01:48:30,479 --> 01:48:34,040
Speaker 25: girlfriend and possible domestic abuse cases. He already was suspended

1995
01:48:34,080 --> 01:48:36,639
Speaker 25: last season. We don't know his future, which is why

1996
01:48:36,680 --> 01:48:40,120
Speaker 25: I think the Chiefs might be inclined to take Mackay Lemon.

1997
01:48:40,360 --> 01:48:42,320
Speaker 25: And I know I've spent this whole segment talking about

1998
01:48:42,360 --> 01:48:44,839
Speaker 25: Mkaye Lemon. But the reason why in Super Bowl Sunday,

1999
01:48:45,720 --> 01:48:47,840
Speaker 25: people will start to shift their focus to the NFL

2000
01:48:47,960 --> 01:48:50,400
Speaker 25: Draft after today, and people will start to shift their

2001
01:48:50,439 --> 01:48:53,559
Speaker 25: focus to which guys can help me in fantasy football

2002
01:48:53,640 --> 01:48:56,200
Speaker 25: right away and win championships long term in dynasty leagues.

2003
01:48:56,360 --> 01:48:59,840
Speaker 25: And if I if you told me one guy that's

2004
01:48:59,840 --> 01:49:03,519
Speaker 25: going to win championships for the next ten years of

2005
01:49:03,600 --> 01:49:07,200
Speaker 25: the last two three drafts, I can confidently say Mikaye

2006
01:49:07,240 --> 01:49:09,559
Speaker 25: Lemon will get the most out of what he can

2007
01:49:09,600 --> 01:49:12,240
Speaker 25: do at the wide receiver position. And I think he's

2008
01:49:12,320 --> 01:49:14,280
Speaker 25: up there. I think he'll be a superstar locking in.

2009
01:49:14,760 --> 01:49:17,479
Speaker 25: And I know there's some USC bias, but I mean,

2010
01:49:17,600 --> 01:49:19,960
Speaker 25: you just look at the modern NFL Bernie, you look

2011
01:49:20,000 --> 01:49:23,519
Speaker 25: at amanas Saint Brown JSN. This is the next type

2012
01:49:23,520 --> 01:49:25,519
Speaker 25: of guy. And I just don't think you can overlook

2013
01:49:25,560 --> 01:49:28,519
Speaker 25: slaw receivers because remember JSN fell to pick twenty pick

2014
01:49:28,560 --> 01:49:30,760
Speaker 25: whatever to the Seahawks, and look what that's done. So

2015
01:49:30,880 --> 01:49:34,519
Speaker 25: Aman row fell multiple rounds and look what that's done.

2016
01:49:34,640 --> 01:49:37,960
Speaker 25: So with that, happy Super Bowl Sunday, you can find

2017
01:49:37,960 --> 01:49:39,960
Speaker 25: me at BSD Takes on X you can find me

2018
01:49:40,000 --> 01:49:43,679
Speaker 25: at Brandon s Deutsch on TikTok and Instagram, Brandon Deutsch

2019
01:49:43,760 --> 01:49:46,519
Speaker 25: on YouTube. I appreciate you. Bernie is his fantasy files

2020
01:49:46,560 --> 01:49:47,639
Speaker 25: back to the Bernie Fredo Show.

2021
01:49:48,640 --> 01:49:53,639
Speaker 2: Great stuff on my Kyle Lemon, I could not agree more. Size,

2022
01:49:53,720 --> 01:49:56,840
Speaker 2: As I've said a thousand times, is the least important

2023
01:49:56,880 --> 01:50:01,120
Speaker 2: aspect in sports. He's five to eleven, a buck ninety five,

2024
01:50:01,800 --> 01:50:07,080
Speaker 2: incredibly high football IQ. He can thrive as a slot receiver.

2025
01:50:07,640 --> 01:50:11,160
Speaker 2: His rot running his elite, his hands are elite. He's

2026
01:50:11,200 --> 01:50:16,439
Speaker 2: got great after the catch, ability to run and get yards. Look,

2027
01:50:16,880 --> 01:50:20,200
Speaker 2: I don't want to hear about prototypical size. All this

2028
01:50:20,240 --> 01:50:22,680
Speaker 2: guy's gonna do you know there's a wide receiver in

2029
01:50:22,760 --> 01:50:25,120
Speaker 2: high school? Where am I going with this? I remember

2030
01:50:25,120 --> 01:50:27,120
Speaker 2: going to a RAM game one hundred years ago and

2031
01:50:27,200 --> 01:50:29,400
Speaker 2: standing on the sideline and I couldn't take my eyes

2032
01:50:29,400 --> 01:50:33,000
Speaker 2: off Sterling Sharp, Not Shannon Sharp, Sterling Sharp. He was

2033
01:50:33,040 --> 01:50:38,480
Speaker 2: five to eleven and ninety. He his concentration, his ability

2034
01:50:38,479 --> 01:50:41,759
Speaker 2: to look the ball in secure it, run after catch,

2035
01:50:42,360 --> 01:50:44,519
Speaker 2: make great cuts coming out of his route. He was

2036
01:50:44,560 --> 01:50:48,599
Speaker 2: the prototypical wide receiver, a lot like a Jerry Rice type.

2037
01:50:49,120 --> 01:50:51,680
Speaker 2: Just technically everything to do well, ma Kayle Lemon is

2038
01:50:51,680 --> 01:50:54,360
Speaker 2: that he's gonna step in. He could have started in

2039
01:50:54,360 --> 01:50:57,040
Speaker 2: the NFL this year for a bunch of teams, so

2040
01:50:58,439 --> 01:51:02,400
Speaker 2: you know, they used him properably offensively at USC and

2041
01:51:02,680 --> 01:51:05,040
Speaker 2: if us he could play defense, maybe they'd do something.

2042
01:51:05,080 --> 01:51:07,360
Speaker 2: But that's not Mikayle Lemon's fault. So I look for

2043
01:51:07,439 --> 01:51:13,559
Speaker 2: him to do great things in the NFL. Coming up.

2044
01:51:14,040 --> 01:51:17,360
Speaker 2: Have a few fun facts about the Super Bowl and

2045
01:51:17,400 --> 01:51:19,640
Speaker 2: the overview, and then I'm going to get into the

2046
01:51:19,680 --> 01:51:23,439
Speaker 2: three matchups that I think that can decide Super Bowl sixty.

2047

2056
01:51:55,479 --> 01:51:59,200
Speaker 2: We're getting ever so close Super Bowl sixty, So got

2057
01:51:59,240 --> 01:52:07,080
Speaker 2: to rudhs through that forever pregame show at nauseum. Three

2058
01:52:07,160 --> 01:52:10,960
Speaker 2: matchups that I think can decide the game here in

2059
01:52:11,040 --> 01:52:14,040
Speaker 2: about fourteen hours. And by the way, none of us

2060
01:52:14,120 --> 01:52:17,759
Speaker 2: anticipated a Super Bowl matchup between the Seahawks and Pats,

2061
01:52:17,800 --> 01:52:22,280
Speaker 2: but they're both deserving. So let's start with matchup number one.

2062
01:52:22,360 --> 01:52:26,320
Speaker 2: Both offensive lines. Check that the Pats offensive line versus

2063
01:52:26,400 --> 01:52:32,800
Speaker 2: Seahawks defensive line. Now, during the regular season, okay, the

2064
01:52:32,880 --> 01:52:35,759
Speaker 2: Pats really moved the ball well, I mean, their offense

2065
01:52:35,960 --> 01:52:38,920
Speaker 2: was clicking. They were right there with the Rams, and

2066
01:52:39,000 --> 01:52:41,920
Speaker 2: if you look at these advanced metrics, according to True Media,

2067
01:52:42,600 --> 01:52:44,639
Speaker 2: they tied the Rams for the league lead at three

2068
01:52:44,680 --> 01:52:48,759
Speaker 2: points per drive with an outcome that is saying something.

2069
01:52:49,960 --> 01:52:53,120
Speaker 2: Drake May had a tremendous breakout year. I think he

2070
01:52:53,200 --> 01:52:56,519
Speaker 2: was the straw, the straw that stirred the drink, as

2071
01:52:56,520 --> 01:53:01,400
Speaker 2: it were, and he led quarterbacks a lot of important categories,

2072
01:53:02,000 --> 01:53:03,800
Speaker 2: and he was right up there with Tom Brady in

2073
01:53:03,880 --> 01:53:07,760
Speaker 2: terms of you know, his his EPA per dropback. So

2074
01:53:08,080 --> 01:53:11,680
Speaker 2: we're talking about a very efficient offense. And the postseason,

2075
01:53:11,680 --> 01:53:16,320
Speaker 2: though not so much. New England's per scoring drive efficiency

2076
01:53:17,160 --> 01:53:20,599
Speaker 2: was basically slashed in half over the last three games. Yes,

2077
01:53:20,680 --> 01:53:25,800
Speaker 2: they were against some pretty good defenses Chargers, Texans and

2078
01:53:25,920 --> 01:53:30,280
Speaker 2: then of course the Broncos in the snowstorm there, so

2079
01:53:30,760 --> 01:53:33,960
Speaker 2: they went from top of the heap to Frankly, if

2080
01:53:34,000 --> 01:53:38,400
Speaker 2: you extrapolate, the Pats and their offensive performance in the

2081
01:53:38,439 --> 01:53:42,320
Speaker 2: postseason would have been down there around Gino Smith, JJ McCarthy.

2082
01:53:42,840 --> 01:53:44,800
Speaker 2: You don't want to be that now. That's not an

2083
01:53:44,840 --> 01:53:49,479
Speaker 2: indictment of Drake May. He was running for his life.

2084
01:53:50,640 --> 01:53:53,439
Speaker 2: That offensive line's got worked like a burger and fries

2085
01:53:53,680 --> 01:53:58,960
Speaker 2: against the Chargers, Texans and Broncos. Okay, they were. They

2086
01:53:58,960 --> 01:54:04,519
Speaker 2: gave a five each of those games. May was almost

2087
01:54:04,560 --> 01:54:07,600
Speaker 2: in Joe Burrow territory for the most sacks in a

2088
01:54:07,640 --> 01:54:13,519
Speaker 2: single playoff run. Fortunately for Seattle, they're gonna probably try

2089
01:54:13,520 --> 01:54:16,519
Speaker 2: to pick up where those other three teams left off.

2090
01:54:16,600 --> 01:54:19,680
Speaker 2: It doesn't getting easier for New England Sunday. So one

2091
01:54:19,680 --> 01:54:23,600
Speaker 2: of the matchups that can decide this game is the

2092
01:54:23,680 --> 01:54:29,040
Speaker 2: Pats and their ability, their ability to hold off Seattle

2093
01:54:30,120 --> 01:54:33,040
Speaker 2: because even though they're only twenty third in blitz frequency,

2094
01:54:33,320 --> 01:54:37,160
Speaker 2: Seattle is they don't really believe they need to send

2095
01:54:37,160 --> 01:54:40,480
Speaker 2: those extra bodies to get home because they're front four

2096
01:54:40,520 --> 01:54:43,760
Speaker 2: with de Marcus Lawrence Leonard to Williams, Byron Murphy and

2097
01:54:43,800 --> 01:54:47,360
Speaker 2: you Chennon New also and they rotate guys in with

2098
01:54:47,400 --> 01:54:50,200
Speaker 2: fresh bodies. They can get to the quarterback with the

2099
01:54:50,200 --> 01:54:56,200
Speaker 2: four man front. That's big time. Plus, let's you know

2100
01:54:56,840 --> 01:55:00,800
Speaker 2: the Packs Rookie left tackle Will Campbell, who I think

2101
01:55:00,840 --> 01:55:03,960
Speaker 2: will be a star in this league, has really struggled

2102
01:55:04,000 --> 01:55:07,560
Speaker 2: during the playoffs. He's been worked. He's allowed three sacks

2103
01:55:07,560 --> 01:55:11,040
Speaker 2: eleven pressures in his three playoff games, and he did

2104
01:55:11,080 --> 01:55:13,000
Speaker 2: have a knee injury earlier in the year. It made

2105
01:55:13,040 --> 01:55:17,000
Speaker 2: a late season return. But that's a problem New England's

2106
01:55:17,000 --> 01:55:20,560
Speaker 2: got to solve. So if Seattle is constantly getting home

2107
01:55:20,600 --> 01:55:26,280
Speaker 2: and disrupting New England's offense, something to watch includ it

2108
01:55:26,360 --> 01:55:29,720
Speaker 2: decide the game. Yes it could. You saw what happened

2109
01:55:29,720 --> 01:55:32,920
Speaker 2: to Patrick Mahomes against Philadelphia. You saw what happened to

2110
01:55:32,920 --> 01:55:37,080
Speaker 2: Tom Brady against the New York Giants on the flip

2111
01:55:37,080 --> 01:55:39,720
Speaker 2: side of the coin. And you'll not hear me say

2112
01:55:39,760 --> 01:55:43,080
Speaker 2: one negative thing about Sam Donald. But we would be

2113
01:55:43,200 --> 01:55:48,400
Speaker 2: journalistically dishonest if we did not address the fact that

2114
01:55:49,440 --> 01:55:52,880
Speaker 2: we have to see how Sam Donald reacts against the

2115
01:55:52,920 --> 01:55:57,160
Speaker 2: pressure that the Patriots are gonna bring. Now, Sam Donald

2116
01:55:57,200 --> 01:56:00,840
Speaker 2: is about sixty minutes away from completing the all time

2117
01:56:01,400 --> 01:56:04,800
Speaker 2: redemption story. You know I feel about him. I don't

2118
01:56:04,800 --> 01:56:09,120
Speaker 2: believe he's deserving of the tremendous scrutiny of their everybody's

2119
01:56:09,160 --> 01:56:12,280
Speaker 2: waiting for the other shooter drop type guy. I understand

2120
01:56:12,280 --> 01:56:15,000
Speaker 2: the bust narrative after the Jets, with the turnovers and everything,

2121
01:56:15,600 --> 01:56:19,880
Speaker 2: but his career breakout these last two years is not

2122
01:56:19,920 --> 01:56:23,640
Speaker 2: a fluke. Sam Donald is an e leade quarterback with leap,

2123
01:56:24,320 --> 01:56:29,080
Speaker 2: you know, arm talent. That said, that said, if the

2124
01:56:29,120 --> 01:56:32,680
Speaker 2: Pats have designs on stealing this game, they have to

2125
01:56:32,680 --> 01:56:35,960
Speaker 2: get to Donald and hit him like Rocky Bell Bowl

2126
01:56:36,040 --> 01:56:40,240
Speaker 2: was hit. Donald is right now one of the NFL's

2127
01:56:40,240 --> 01:56:45,360
Speaker 2: best vertical passers. That's an irrefutable fact. But does he

2128
01:56:45,440 --> 01:56:48,320
Speaker 2: have a pension for giving the ball away? Well, the

2129
01:56:48,400 --> 01:56:51,520
Speaker 2: numbers don't lie. Sam Donald did account for a league

2130
01:56:51,520 --> 01:56:55,000
Speaker 2: worse twenty turnovers during the regular season. He had fourteen picks,

2131
01:56:55,360 --> 01:56:58,760
Speaker 2: third only behind Geno Smith and Tua, and this is

2132
01:56:58,800 --> 01:57:02,160
Speaker 2: the most he's thrown since his rookie campaign. That said,

2133
01:57:02,240 --> 01:57:05,400
Speaker 2: I still think he's lead quarterback. But these games are

2134
01:57:05,400 --> 01:57:09,360
Speaker 2: won on the margins. Most teams beat themselves. The Patriots

2135
01:57:09,400 --> 01:57:13,760
Speaker 2: defense should have plenty of opportunities to try to force

2136
01:57:14,240 --> 01:57:17,960
Speaker 2: Sam Darnold into mistakes. Will they be able to do that?

2137
01:57:18,560 --> 01:57:20,680
Speaker 2: We're gonna have to wait and see for Sunday afternoon.

2138
01:57:21,440 --> 01:57:25,080
Speaker 2: Seattle has basically been committed to the ground game all

2139
01:57:25,160 --> 01:57:29,560
Speaker 2: year their third run rate, and they got not, you know,

2140
01:57:30,080 --> 01:57:33,200
Speaker 2: not always the best results. They were a bottom five

2141
01:57:33,240 --> 01:57:36,640
Speaker 2: team in rush success rate, even though as of late

2142
01:57:36,720 --> 01:57:40,720
Speaker 2: Kenneth Walker has gone off. The Pats defense has dominated

2143
01:57:40,760 --> 01:57:45,160
Speaker 2: the line of scrimmage since Milton Williams came back. They're

2144
01:57:45,160 --> 01:57:49,280
Speaker 2: about a sixty rush success rate in the playoffs. That

2145
01:57:49,520 --> 01:57:54,600
Speaker 2: is huge. If those trends hold, then they may say, Okay,

2146
01:57:54,640 --> 01:57:58,120
Speaker 2: we're gonna force you Sam, Mike Vrabel and company, and

2147
01:57:58,160 --> 01:58:02,160
Speaker 2: the pass defense might say, Sam, we're going to force

2148
01:58:02,240 --> 01:58:06,160
Speaker 2: you to play hero ball. Okay, now he did it

2149
01:58:06,200 --> 01:58:10,680
Speaker 2: against the Rams. Now remember in the previous three meetings

2150
01:58:10,680 --> 01:58:15,440
Speaker 2: against the Rams, Sam Donald had had committed eight turnovers,

2151
01:58:15,600 --> 01:58:18,200
Speaker 2: which caused Cam Curl to call him out. And Cam

2152
01:58:18,240 --> 01:58:20,560
Speaker 2: Curl will have to eat his words because Sam had

2153
01:58:20,600 --> 01:58:24,080
Speaker 2: the last laugh. But based on the past, you know,

2154
01:58:24,480 --> 01:58:28,560
Speaker 2: and if anybody doubts Sam Donald's ability to rise to

2155
01:58:28,640 --> 01:58:31,560
Speaker 2: the occasion, just look at the last few weeks. Okay,

2156
01:58:32,000 --> 01:58:34,560
Speaker 2: Sam Donald was the reason the Seahawks punster ticket to

2157
01:58:34,560 --> 01:58:36,880
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl. He had a career best game in

2158
01:58:36,880 --> 01:58:39,080
Speaker 2: the biggest game of his life through for three hundred

2159
01:58:39,080 --> 01:58:41,400
Speaker 2: and forty six yards and three scores, all of them

2160
01:58:41,480 --> 01:58:45,280
Speaker 2: under pressure. But the Patriots are going to be eager

2161
01:58:45,280 --> 01:58:47,600
Speaker 2: to see if they can bring him back down to

2162
01:58:47,680 --> 01:58:50,680
Speaker 2: earth with the pressure they're gonna bring and let's not

2163
01:58:50,720 --> 01:58:53,360
Speaker 2: forget and the winds. You know, only allowed less than

2164
01:58:53,440 --> 01:58:56,800
Speaker 2: ten points on average in the three games in the playoffs,

2165
01:58:56,800 --> 01:58:58,760
Speaker 2: and teams who've done that, It's only be done three

2166
01:58:58,760 --> 01:59:01,080
Speaker 2: times in the history of the Super Bowl for teams

2167
01:59:01,160 --> 01:59:03,960
Speaker 2: entering the Super Bowl into three playoff games where they

2168
01:59:04,000 --> 01:59:07,879
Speaker 2: allowed an average at less than ten points. The Patriots

2169
01:59:07,920 --> 01:59:13,000
Speaker 2: have allowed eight point six. That's pretty good. Okay. The

2170
01:59:13,000 --> 01:59:17,720
Speaker 2: Patriots lead all playoff teams in both pressure rate and turnovers.

2171
01:59:17,800 --> 01:59:20,440
Speaker 2: If they forced eight turnovers in the playoffs, and they

2172
01:59:20,440 --> 01:59:23,160
Speaker 2: pressure fifty two percent of the time. They're going to

2173
01:59:23,280 --> 01:59:28,680
Speaker 2: try to ratchet up the chaos, bring the heat, and

2174
01:59:28,720 --> 01:59:31,800
Speaker 2: see if Donald they can force Sam Donald to cost

2175
01:59:31,840 --> 01:59:35,880
Speaker 2: the errors. If Donald avoids those errors, I think the

2176
01:59:36,040 --> 01:59:39,040
Speaker 2: Seahawks are going to be in position to come away

2177
01:59:39,920 --> 01:59:43,560
Speaker 2: with their second Super Bowl title. Okay, So you've got

2178
01:59:43,960 --> 01:59:49,320
Speaker 2: the offensive line of the Patriots versus the Seahawks defensive line,

2179
01:59:49,440 --> 01:59:51,800
Speaker 2: and then you got the pressure game against Sam Donald. Finally,

2180
01:59:52,080 --> 01:59:56,560
Speaker 2: special teams. Seattle does appear to have the advantage part

2181
01:59:56,600 --> 01:59:58,600
Speaker 2: of the game that nobody really talks about. And I'm

2182
01:59:58,600 --> 02:00:03,120
Speaker 2: really talking about kickoff for parents, punts, et cetera, and Rashid.

2183
02:00:03,160 --> 02:00:07,080
Speaker 2: They picked up Rashid shaheeded the trade deadline, and as

2184
02:00:07,120 --> 02:00:08,920
Speaker 2: you saw in the opening kick of the divisional round

2185
02:00:09,000 --> 02:00:12,640
Speaker 2: and twice during nine regular season games this year with Seattle,

2186
02:00:13,480 --> 02:00:17,160
Speaker 2: Rashid Shahed can flip a game. New England has to

2187
02:00:17,240 --> 02:00:20,920
Speaker 2: find a way to keep him under wraps. To remember,

2188
02:00:21,040 --> 02:00:23,440
Speaker 2: Tony Dungee wasn't going to kick the Devin Hester and

2189
02:00:23,440 --> 02:00:26,120
Speaker 2: he did, and he returned the opening kickoff of the game. Yeah,

2190
02:00:26,160 --> 02:00:28,240
Speaker 2: I'm sure you do remember that. That was, you know,

2191
02:00:28,280 --> 02:00:31,760
Speaker 2: many years ago. Now, by the way, Seattle's special team's

2192
02:00:31,800 --> 02:00:35,480
Speaker 2: prowess wasn't just punt coverage, only the Rams fared worse

2193
02:00:35,920 --> 02:00:39,400
Speaker 2: with their fifteen point five yard returned average. Now, New

2194
02:00:39,400 --> 02:00:44,840
Speaker 2: England is uniquely equipped to capitalize on Seattle's inability to

2195
02:00:44,960 --> 02:00:48,760
Speaker 2: cover punts. So we haven't seen a special team's touchdown

2196
02:00:48,760 --> 02:00:51,720
Speaker 2: in the Super Bowl since Percy Harvid did it with

2197
02:00:51,760 --> 02:00:57,000
Speaker 2: the Seahawks in twenty thirteen. But if somebody is hoisting

2198
02:00:57,080 --> 02:01:03,280
Speaker 2: the Lombardi Trophy Sunday night about ten o'clock Eastern time

2199
02:01:03,400 --> 02:01:07,280
Speaker 2: or thereabouts, one will have to wonder was the game

2200
02:01:07,360 --> 02:01:12,920
Speaker 2: decided on a punt or kickoff return? Or did Sam

2201
02:01:12,960 --> 02:01:16,000
Speaker 2: Barnold succumb to the pressure or not succumb to the pressure.

2202
02:01:16,480 --> 02:01:19,720
Speaker 2: And finally, was the Patriots offensive line and the struggles

2203
02:01:19,720 --> 02:01:23,640
Speaker 2: they've had in the other pre the other three playoff games.

2204
02:01:23,840 --> 02:01:26,600
Speaker 2: Will it rear its ugly ahead? Again? These are three

2205
02:01:26,800 --> 02:01:31,360
Speaker 2: matchups they could decide the Super Bowl coming up. What

2206
02:01:31,360 --> 02:01:33,560
Speaker 2: do we watch out for on Sunday? I'll tell you

2207
02:01:34,240 --> 02:01:37,000
Speaker 2: keep it locked. You're listening to the Bernie Frattle Show.

2208
02:01:37,440 --> 02:01:45,280
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio. That's right, you heard the man. Bernie

02:01:56,600 --> 02:02:00,640
Speaker 2: We are basically thirteen and a half hours away kickoff

2213
02:02:01,240 --> 02:02:06,640
Speaker 2: Super Bowl sixty. Opinions running strong. I know seventy percent

2214
02:02:06,640 --> 02:02:10,840
Speaker 2: of the bets are on Seattle, we shall see what

2215
02:02:10,880 --> 02:02:14,400
Speaker 2: should we watch for on Sunday. Well, let's dive into that.

2216
02:02:14,520 --> 02:02:18,480
Speaker 2: It's time to take a deeper dive into what should

2217
02:02:18,520 --> 02:02:21,360
Speaker 2: we be watching for? But I also want to remind

2218

2224
02:02:38,680 --> 02:02:42,440
Speaker 2: presented by a bet MGM every Saturday and Sunday morning

2225
02:02:42,480 --> 02:02:45,840
Speaker 2: right here on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.

2226
02:02:47,120 --> 02:02:50,960
Speaker 2: First question, this is a question for the Patriots. Will

2227
02:02:51,040 --> 02:02:56,320
Speaker 2: they be able to run the ball? Seattle's defense plays

2228
02:02:56,360 --> 02:03:00,400
Speaker 2: nearly every snap with five or more defensive backs, including

2229
02:03:00,400 --> 02:03:07,000
Speaker 2: two deep safeties. Their rookie Nick Imnori, who's a freakish athlete,

2230
02:03:07,520 --> 02:03:11,280
Speaker 2: is the extra defensive back. And he's again, he's a

2231
02:03:11,360 --> 02:03:14,920
Speaker 2: hyper athletic guy who's kind of a disguised as a

2232
02:03:14,960 --> 02:03:19,640
Speaker 2: linebacker playing defensive back. And if you don't just give

2233
02:03:19,680 --> 02:03:21,960
Speaker 2: you an idea of what kind of freakish athleticism. This

2234
02:03:22,040 --> 02:03:26,800
Speaker 2: guy has six three two twenty, but at the combine

2235
02:03:27,400 --> 02:03:29,040
Speaker 2: he ran a four point three to eight to forty

2236
02:03:29,120 --> 02:03:32,280
Speaker 2: yard dash. That's a runaway coke machine, for crying out loud,

2237
02:03:33,080 --> 02:03:36,880
Speaker 2: second best time at the combine. Now he's been playing

2238
02:03:36,920 --> 02:03:41,160
Speaker 2: despite an injury, and he's got this crazy ability. And

2239
02:03:41,320 --> 02:03:44,640
Speaker 2: it's frankly why the Seahawks ranks second in the league

2240
02:03:44,920 --> 02:03:50,960
Speaker 2: in defensive rushing success rate. Because yes, they devote resources

2241
02:03:51,000 --> 02:03:54,200
Speaker 2: to stopping explosive passes, but when you've got guys like

2242
02:03:54,600 --> 02:03:56,800
Speaker 2: em and Warr that can fill gaps the way he

2243
02:03:56,800 --> 02:04:01,080
Speaker 2: can fill gaps, well, this is what your first chess

2244
02:04:01,080 --> 02:04:03,480
Speaker 2: match thing is to watch for. Can the Pats run

2245
02:04:03,520 --> 02:04:07,280
Speaker 2: the ball? I expect Mike Rabel this is not his

2246
02:04:07,360 --> 02:04:10,400
Speaker 2: first barbecue. Their offense is going to count with a

2247
02:04:10,400 --> 02:04:13,080
Speaker 2: lot of gaps game runs. And by the way, Seattle

2248
02:04:13,080 --> 02:04:16,760
Speaker 2: only ranks thirteenth in defensive success against that. And you

2249
02:04:16,840 --> 02:04:19,680
Speaker 2: put in a sixth offensive lineman to get the Seahawks

2250
02:04:19,680 --> 02:04:23,920
Speaker 2: to put base personnel four dbs on the field, that's

2251
02:04:23,920 --> 02:04:26,680
Speaker 2: going to open up passing lands for drag May. Now,

2252
02:04:26,720 --> 02:04:31,160
Speaker 2: the Seahawks typically don't deviate from two deep shells. But

2253
02:04:31,360 --> 02:04:33,640
Speaker 2: if the Pats, well, if they can run the ball,

2254
02:04:34,120 --> 02:04:36,320
Speaker 2: it's going to force Seattle to rotate his safety into

2255
02:04:36,320 --> 02:04:40,080
Speaker 2: the box after the ball is snapped to help against

2256
02:04:40,080 --> 02:04:45,320
Speaker 2: the run. Again, that unlocks Drake May's deep ball. Simple

2257
02:04:45,360 --> 02:04:50,440
Speaker 2: as that. Now, when the Seahawks have the ball, watch

2258
02:04:50,440 --> 02:04:53,919
Speaker 2: out for the blitz. Sam Darnold is facing a defense

2259
02:04:54,480 --> 02:04:59,520
Speaker 2: that's completely transformed themselves schematically in the playoffs, and frankly,

2260
02:04:59,560 --> 02:05:05,040
Speaker 2: they've got tremendous results. New England only allows less than well.

2261
02:05:05,360 --> 02:05:08,120
Speaker 2: These are these elite nerdy stats. Zero points seventy two

2262
02:05:08,160 --> 02:05:11,000
Speaker 2: points per drive, which is elite, and thirty three and

2263
02:05:11,000 --> 02:05:14,160
Speaker 2: a half total defensive EPA per snap that is beyond

2264
02:05:14,160 --> 02:05:18,000
Speaker 2: elite in the postseason, even though they are two offensive

2265
02:05:18,040 --> 02:05:21,240
Speaker 2: lines they played against were not great, okay, plus a

2266
02:05:21,280 --> 02:05:24,440
Speaker 2: backup quarterback in Denver, And I get it. You can

2267
02:05:24,560 --> 02:05:27,800
Speaker 2: pour water or cold water on New England's done, But frankly,

2268
02:05:28,320 --> 02:05:31,280
Speaker 2: I don't feel that they're getting quite the respect they

2269
02:05:31,280 --> 02:05:34,680
Speaker 2: should be getting. Watching New England against a very good

2270
02:05:34,680 --> 02:05:37,800
Speaker 2: Seahawks defense, we're going to find out how much that

2271
02:05:37,920 --> 02:05:41,000
Speaker 2: improvement is real and it can continue like it did

2272
02:05:41,080 --> 02:05:44,160
Speaker 2: during the regular seasons. Now the Pats are defenders. They've

2273
02:05:44,240 --> 02:05:47,160
Speaker 2: taken chances. They double their blitz rate in the postseason.

2274
02:05:47,560 --> 02:05:50,200
Speaker 2: Not just five man blitzes either, they've doubled their cover

2275
02:05:50,280 --> 02:05:54,480
Speaker 2: blitz mandament. With no deep safety, that's a big risk.

2276
02:05:55,600 --> 02:05:55,760
Speaker 16: Now.

2277
02:05:55,880 --> 02:05:59,560
Speaker 2: Darnold hasn't faced much cover zero blitzes in the regular

2278
02:05:59,600 --> 02:06:04,720
Speaker 2: season or in the postseason. And sometimes he thurishes, flourishes,

2279
02:06:04,960 --> 02:06:08,080
Speaker 2: sometimes he doesn't. He's to boom or bust. He's averaging

2280
02:06:08,120 --> 02:06:12,160
Speaker 2: ten yards per attempt. He's thrown for four touchdowns. That's huge,

2281
02:06:12,440 --> 02:06:16,200
Speaker 2: but he's also thrown two interceptions. Now against the Rams,

2282
02:06:17,000 --> 02:06:20,400
Speaker 2: Donald played his best game of the season. But we're

2283
02:06:20,400 --> 02:06:24,600
Speaker 2: all thinking, the sharp people I trust, we're all thinking

2284
02:06:24,600 --> 02:06:26,640
Speaker 2: that this is going to be a low scoring game.

2285
02:06:26,800 --> 02:06:30,320
Speaker 2: Both defenses have natural advantages and Donald has to really

2286
02:06:30,400 --> 02:06:33,480
Speaker 2: kind of avoid making the big mistake. And I wish

2287
02:06:33,680 --> 02:06:36,360
Speaker 2: we didn't including me and some of us wouldn't be

2288
02:06:37,120 --> 02:06:40,880
Speaker 2: harping around on that, right, But it's something you have

2289
02:06:40,920 --> 02:06:44,879
Speaker 2: to include in the narrative, all right, it's a concern.

2290
02:06:45,440 --> 02:06:47,480
Speaker 2: Donald did have fourteen picks in the regular season, but

2291
02:06:47,520 --> 02:06:50,480
Speaker 2: in the last four games he's been spotless. So expect

2292
02:06:50,480 --> 02:06:53,480
Speaker 2: the Pats to bring the heat Seattle will have an

2293
02:06:53,520 --> 02:06:58,600
Speaker 2: excellent Bootz plan and guess what, let the chess match begin,

2294
02:06:59,560 --> 02:07:04,120
Speaker 2: because whoever prevails is a situation where you have that

2295
02:07:04,200 --> 02:07:07,440
Speaker 2: type of success and those margins we talked about, Well,

2296
02:07:08,600 --> 02:07:11,480
Speaker 2: it's all about making adjustments right, you design the play

2297
02:07:11,960 --> 02:07:14,800
Speaker 2: and it breaks down, and let the game begin. And

2298
02:07:14,840 --> 02:07:18,160
Speaker 2: that's where the real sort of it is a chess

2299
02:07:18,160 --> 02:07:21,560
Speaker 2: match with high speed collisions. Now, one of the things

2300
02:07:21,640 --> 02:07:29,880
Speaker 2: that has been this overriding narrative is that the well

2301
02:07:30,000 --> 02:07:34,680
Speaker 2: the Patriots played considering what you know. The reason I'm

2302
02:07:34,680 --> 02:07:37,400
Speaker 2: stammering here is simple. I covered the Lions for ten years,

2303
02:07:37,800 --> 02:07:39,839
Speaker 2: and you don't go into a room with NFL players

2304
02:07:39,840 --> 02:07:43,480
Speaker 2: and say someone had an easy schedule. Now, there are

2305
02:07:43,520 --> 02:07:46,320
Speaker 2: teams that have easier schedules than other teams based on

2306
02:07:46,320 --> 02:07:50,800
Speaker 2: one lost records. But these guys are trained killers, and

2307
02:07:50,800 --> 02:07:54,400
Speaker 2: I'm telling you any NFL team is going to be

2308
02:07:54,400 --> 02:07:59,520
Speaker 2: difficult to be. That said, that said, if you make

2309
02:07:59,560 --> 02:08:02,440
Speaker 2: the statement within the framework of you know you're going

2310
02:08:02,520 --> 02:08:05,120
Speaker 2: to face teams that are eleven and two versus teams

2311
02:08:05,160 --> 02:08:09,160
Speaker 2: that are two and eleven, you can you can argue,

2312
02:08:09,200 --> 02:08:11,600
Speaker 2: you can make a case that the Patriots did have

2313
02:08:11,720 --> 02:08:15,840
Speaker 2: an easy schedule. And you can argue, for the people

2314
02:08:15,840 --> 02:08:18,520
Speaker 2: that want to throw cold water on the Patriots that

2315
02:08:18,520 --> 02:08:21,800
Speaker 2: that continued in the playoffs because they beat the Chargers,

2316
02:08:21,840 --> 02:08:25,000
Speaker 2: who were a team with no offensive line, a severely

2317
02:08:25,040 --> 02:08:30,000
Speaker 2: banged up Texans offense, and then the Broncos starting Jared Stidham. Well,

2318
02:08:31,040 --> 02:08:35,640
Speaker 2: you know, I don't think it's easy, but it's easier

2319
02:08:35,680 --> 02:08:39,480
Speaker 2: than say, perhaps the path that Seattle had. But credit

2320
02:08:39,560 --> 02:08:42,960
Speaker 2: the Patriots. They beat the teams that you ask them

2321
02:08:43,000 --> 02:08:45,800
Speaker 2: to beat on their schedule, and they beat him silently.

2322
02:08:45,880 --> 02:08:47,640
Speaker 2: And I know, I think Colin brought up a stat

2323
02:08:47,760 --> 02:08:50,240
Speaker 2: last week they had eleven games in which the coach

2324
02:08:50,280 --> 02:08:53,960
Speaker 2: got fired. That doesn't mean anything anymore. And now, okay,

2325
02:08:54,120 --> 02:08:56,960
Speaker 2: you play the team that gets off the bus. Forget

2326
02:08:57,080 --> 02:09:02,600
Speaker 2: cherry picking or the subset games playing. When the competition

2327
02:09:02,680 --> 02:09:04,800
Speaker 2: got ratcheted up in the postseason, they still did what

2328
02:09:04,840 --> 02:09:07,440
Speaker 2: they needed to do, all right. And by the way,

2329
02:09:07,720 --> 02:09:12,240
Speaker 2: you cannot deny that New England faced a gauntlet of

2330
02:09:12,240 --> 02:09:18,240
Speaker 2: opposing defenses that were, you know, formidable, and yes, their

2331
02:09:18,280 --> 02:09:21,560
Speaker 2: offense looked a little pedestrian, to say the least. Drake

2332
02:09:21,600 --> 02:09:23,720
Speaker 2: may put the ball on the ground a couple of

2333
02:09:23,760 --> 02:09:26,560
Speaker 2: times But the Pats defense, I think is going to

2334
02:09:26,600 --> 02:09:29,120
Speaker 2: be the team of the unit that leads the way

2335
02:09:29,360 --> 02:09:33,480
Speaker 2: in this game if they beat the Seahawks. I know

2336
02:09:33,680 --> 02:09:37,200
Speaker 2: everybody is, but I can't say everybody. I know there

2337
02:09:37,280 --> 02:09:40,760
Speaker 2: is a high percentage of people that are extremely confident

2338
02:09:41,080 --> 02:09:44,640
Speaker 2: on the Seahawks. Seventy percent of the money's on the Seahawks.

2339
02:09:45,160 --> 02:09:47,600
Speaker 2: So you think I'm betting the Seahawks. No, I'm not.

2340
02:09:48,680 --> 02:09:51,360
Speaker 2: I took the Pats plus four and a half. Now,

2341
02:09:51,400 --> 02:09:54,440
Speaker 2: we just got done hearing for two months that the Patrick.

2342
02:09:55,120 --> 02:09:59,320
Speaker 2: You know the Patriots schedules like the Harlem Glowtrotters where

2343
02:09:59,320 --> 02:10:02,080
Speaker 2: they got to play right clops in the Washington Generals

2344
02:10:02,080 --> 02:10:04,840
Speaker 2: every night. But what if we were to take a

2345
02:10:04,880 --> 02:10:09,760
Speaker 2: deeper dive into the schedule that Seantle played. What if

2346
02:10:09,760 --> 02:10:12,000
Speaker 2: I told you that after their bye week, and we

2347
02:10:12,120 --> 02:10:15,760
Speaker 2: know the Seahawks went eleven and one, and that's outstanding.

2348
02:10:16,200 --> 02:10:18,640
Speaker 2: Let's take a look at whose the Seahawks beat over

2349
02:10:18,680 --> 02:10:24,000
Speaker 2: that stretch. They beat the Commanders, the Arizona Cardinals, the

2350
02:10:24,080 --> 02:10:29,320
Speaker 2: Tennessee Titans. They beat the Vikings with Max Brosmer at quarterback.

2351
02:10:30,040 --> 02:10:33,160
Speaker 2: They beat the Falcons with Kirk Cousins and no Drake London.

2352
02:10:33,800 --> 02:10:37,480
Speaker 2: They beat the Colts with Philip Rivers coming out of

2353
02:10:37,520 --> 02:10:39,640
Speaker 2: them off balls and looking pretty good doing it, I

2354
02:10:39,720 --> 02:10:43,240
Speaker 2: might add, but he had taken a snap in six years.

2355
02:10:43,760 --> 02:10:46,440
Speaker 2: And then you beat the Panthers, and then the forty

2356
02:10:46,520 --> 02:10:49,400
Speaker 2: nine ers twice, but they were forty nine or uniforms,

2357
02:10:49,440 --> 02:10:52,680
Speaker 2: but they were severely injured San Francisco squad, And of

2358
02:10:52,720 --> 02:10:56,200
Speaker 2: course you give them credit. They did beat the Rams

2359
02:10:56,280 --> 02:11:00,760
Speaker 2: twice and a pair of coin flip games, and Stafford

2360
02:11:00,800 --> 02:11:02,960
Speaker 2: had big games in those games. And in those two

2361
02:11:03,000 --> 02:11:08,280
Speaker 2: Seattle wins, the Rams actually outyarded the Seahawks by almost

2362
02:11:08,320 --> 02:11:12,800
Speaker 2: three hundred yards. The Seahawks very much deserve to be

2363
02:11:12,840 --> 02:11:16,040
Speaker 2: in the Super Bowl. They did it behind a historically

2364
02:11:16,080 --> 02:11:19,440
Speaker 2: dominant defense in one of the best minds on the

2365
02:11:19,440 --> 02:11:23,800
Speaker 2: defensive side of the ball, and Mike McDonald. So you

2366
02:11:23,840 --> 02:11:26,160
Speaker 2: can poke a hole in either team schedule, as I

2367
02:11:26,280 --> 02:11:29,240
Speaker 2: just did with the Seahawks, especially this season with the

2368
02:11:29,240 --> 02:11:32,400
Speaker 2: bottom falling out of so many teams. You gotta stay healthy,

2369
02:11:32,440 --> 02:11:34,520
Speaker 2: you gotta get schedule breaks. That's part of every team

2370
02:11:35,080 --> 02:11:40,040
Speaker 2: in the NFL. Okay, But only the Seahawks and the

2371
02:11:40,080 --> 02:11:44,640
Speaker 2: Patriots are left standing. And my belief is that these

2372
02:11:44,640 --> 02:11:49,400
Speaker 2: two teams are a little bit closer than people realize,

2373
02:11:49,600 --> 02:11:52,000
Speaker 2: a little bit closer. I don't think you're going to

2374
02:11:52,040 --> 02:11:56,720
Speaker 2: see this blowout. I marvel at how fast they turned

2375
02:11:56,720 --> 02:12:01,840
Speaker 2: the Pats around so fast. In this century, the Patriots

2376
02:12:01,840 --> 02:12:04,680
Speaker 2: continued to be a master class of how to build

2377
02:12:04,720 --> 02:12:08,280
Speaker 2: teams that get to the Super Bowl. Right, everybody thought

2378
02:12:08,320 --> 02:12:11,000
Speaker 2: their reign of terror was over when the Titans beat

2379
02:12:11,080 --> 02:12:14,680
Speaker 2: him in the twenty nineteen wildcard round. Tom Brady bolted

2380
02:12:14,680 --> 02:12:17,800
Speaker 2: for Tampa Bay, and he had consecutive four and thirteen

2381
02:12:17,840 --> 02:12:21,720
Speaker 2: finishes in twenty three and twenty four and then yet

2382
02:12:21,760 --> 02:12:25,320
Speaker 2: they're already back into Super Bowl again. Teams just don't

2383
02:12:25,320 --> 02:12:28,800
Speaker 2: do this. Look at the Dallas Cowboys. They haven't even

2384
02:12:28,800 --> 02:12:32,160
Speaker 2: appeared in the conference championship game in thirty one years.

2385
02:12:32,520 --> 02:12:35,720
Speaker 2: The Dolphins haven't in thirty four years. The Browns haven't

2386
02:12:35,720 --> 02:12:38,320
Speaker 2: in thirty seven years. The Jets haven't even made the

2387
02:12:38,320 --> 02:12:41,960
Speaker 2: playoffs in the last sixteen years. He had Mike Vrabel,

2388
02:12:43,160 --> 02:12:46,480
Speaker 2: the same coach who was part of the Patriots in

2389
02:12:46,640 --> 02:12:51,080
Speaker 2: his Ironically, the coach who ended the Patriots dynasty as

2390
02:12:51,120 --> 02:12:55,400
Speaker 2: Tennessee coach is now steering his team into the Super

2391
02:12:55,400 --> 02:12:59,800
Speaker 2: Bowl how'd they do it? Rabel immediately overturned his staff.

2392
02:13:00,360 --> 02:13:04,640
Speaker 2: All right, he took on the personality of a linebacker

2393
02:13:04,680 --> 02:13:07,160
Speaker 2: because he was a linebacker fourteen years in the NFL.

2394
02:13:08,080 --> 02:13:11,800
Speaker 2: He's also a six year head coach. And yet other

2395
02:13:11,880 --> 02:13:19,560
Speaker 2: than Josh McDaniels, his assistants, you know, are all got experience, right,

2396
02:13:19,960 --> 02:13:24,200
Speaker 2: I like McDaniels. Right, He's got three former head coaches

2397
02:13:24,240 --> 02:13:28,840
Speaker 2: on the staff, Doug Maron and Thomas Brown he was

2398
02:13:28,880 --> 02:13:31,760
Speaker 2: an interim coach for the Browns and the Bears in

2399
02:13:31,800 --> 02:13:34,160
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four. Would work with me. Then they set

2400
02:13:34,200 --> 02:13:38,080
Speaker 2: their roster. In free agency, New England committed an incredible

2401
02:13:38,080 --> 02:13:41,440
Speaker 2: amount two hundred nine million in guaranteed money and three

2402
02:13:41,480 --> 02:13:44,640
Speaker 2: hundred and sixty four million in total contract value. And

2403
02:13:44,680 --> 02:13:47,800
Speaker 2: there were nine players that the Patriots brought in that

2404
02:13:47,920 --> 02:13:53,560
Speaker 2: all are Super Bowl starters. That's pretty good. Now, we've

2405
02:13:53,560 --> 02:13:57,960
Speaker 2: talked about Seattle's strong twenty twenty five draft class, but

2406
02:13:58,000 --> 02:14:00,920
Speaker 2: it was actually New England. They're left tood Will Campbell,

2407
02:14:01,000 --> 02:14:03,880
Speaker 2: and they got third round guard Jared Wilson, fourth round

2408
02:14:03,920 --> 02:14:06,920
Speaker 2: safety Craig Woodson. They're all starting in the game as well.

2409
02:14:07,760 --> 02:14:11,000
Speaker 2: By the way, just six members of the Pats and

2410
02:14:11,040 --> 02:14:13,920
Speaker 2: their twenty two man starting lineup on defense and offense

2411
02:14:13,960 --> 02:14:18,560
Speaker 2: from last year are back this year. So you had

2412
02:14:18,600 --> 02:14:20,920
Speaker 2: to have some good fortune too, right, as do all

2413
02:14:21,000 --> 02:14:25,960
Speaker 2: Super Bowl teams that aspire to be there are. But

2414
02:14:26,080 --> 02:14:30,600
Speaker 2: the truth of the matter is, you know the foundation

2415
02:14:30,920 --> 02:14:34,960
Speaker 2: and the culture and the DNA that Mike Vrabel brought

2416
02:14:35,000 --> 02:14:41,640
Speaker 2: to this organization as much the same as Mike McDonald

2417
02:14:41,680 --> 02:14:43,880
Speaker 2: brought to Seattle. Is I think we're going to make

2418
02:14:43,880 --> 02:14:47,800
Speaker 2: for a good game on Sunday? Could I be wrong? Sure? Sure,

2419
02:14:47,840 --> 02:14:49,960
Speaker 2: could be wrong. But do I think it's going to

2420
02:14:50,000 --> 02:14:54,120
Speaker 2: be a blog? I just can't see it. By the way,

Speaker 1: Don't listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio.

2435
02:15:38,680 --> 02:15:43,120
Speaker 2: All right, back at the Bernie Fraddle Show, Fox Sports Radio.

2436
02:15:44,080 --> 02:15:47,240
Speaker 2: About thirteen hours and eight minutes from kickoff Super Bowl sixty.

2437
02:15:47,760 --> 02:15:50,960
Speaker 2: By the way, have you ever wiped with a piece

2438
02:15:51,000 --> 02:15:53,520
Speaker 2: of dry toilet paper and wondered is this as good

2439
02:15:53,560 --> 02:15:57,040
Speaker 2: as it gets? It's not switched to life changing wet

2440
02:15:57,120 --> 02:16:01,839
Speaker 2: extra flushable Dude Wives, because we just cleans better available

2441
02:16:01,880 --> 02:16:06,560
Speaker 2: at Amazon and at major retailers nationwide. Dude Wifes, best

2442
02:16:06,600 --> 02:16:13,440
Speaker 2: clean pants down. Few super Bowl fun facts. You know

2443
02:16:13,480 --> 02:16:16,680
Speaker 2: the Patriots believe it or not, They're appearing in their

2444
02:16:16,760 --> 02:16:22,120
Speaker 2: twelfth Super Bowl, the most of any franchise. As a

2445
02:16:22,120 --> 02:16:25,640
Speaker 2: matter of fact, no other team has more than eight appearances.

2446
02:16:26,040 --> 02:16:28,920
Speaker 2: By the way, New London looking for their seventh Super

2447
02:16:28,920 --> 02:16:33,240
Speaker 2: Bowl win. That would pass to Pittsburgh Steelers for most

2448
02:16:33,280 --> 02:16:37,280
Speaker 2: all time. Imagine that there are sixty Super Bowls, the

2449
02:16:37,360 --> 02:16:40,279
Speaker 2: Pats have been in twelve of them. It's twenty percent

2450
02:16:40,280 --> 02:16:42,760
Speaker 2: of all the Super Bowls. I remember their first one

2451
02:16:42,840 --> 02:16:46,440
Speaker 2: back in eighty six, forty year anniversary. The Bears smoked

2452
02:16:46,480 --> 02:16:49,720
Speaker 2: him forty six to ten. Then they were back again

2453
02:16:49,760 --> 02:16:52,600
Speaker 2: in ninety seven in Green Bay got it. But when

2454
02:16:52,640 --> 02:16:55,920
Speaker 2: Brady got there everything changed. By the way, ten of

2455
02:16:55,959 --> 02:16:58,440
Speaker 2: the New England's twelve Super Bowl appearances have come in

2456
02:16:58,440 --> 02:17:01,680
Speaker 2: this century. That's even more impressive because we are now

2457
02:17:01,680 --> 02:17:04,800
Speaker 2: in the salary cap era, and the salary cap era.

2458
02:17:04,879 --> 02:17:08,440
Speaker 2: By the way, dogs seventeen and seven against the number

2459
02:17:08,480 --> 02:17:12,360
Speaker 2: thirteen and eleven out right. But what's even more impressive,

2460
02:17:12,360 --> 02:17:16,160
Speaker 2: in the last twenty five years, since two thousand, the

2461
02:17:16,240 --> 02:17:19,680
Speaker 2: Pats twelve Super Bowl appearances. No other team has appeared

2462
02:17:19,760 --> 02:17:24,240
Speaker 2: more than five Super Bowls over that span. By the way,

2463
02:17:24,959 --> 02:17:29,480
Speaker 2: the hit parade continues, New England. They're the first team

2464
02:17:29,520 --> 02:17:33,000
Speaker 2: to make the Super Bowl after losing thirteen or more

2465
02:17:33,080 --> 02:17:37,160
Speaker 2: games the season before. Well, the Pats did one better

2466
02:17:37,200 --> 02:17:39,879
Speaker 2: than that. They actually lost thirteen games each of the

2467
02:17:39,920 --> 02:17:46,039
Speaker 2: last two seasons. The Seahawks, they're in their fourth Super Bowl,

2468
02:17:46,840 --> 02:17:50,640
Speaker 2: all three previous appearances coming since twenty oh six. They're

2469
02:17:50,640 --> 02:17:53,880
Speaker 2: one and two all time in Super Bowls. The only

2470
02:17:53,920 --> 02:17:56,240
Speaker 2: super Bowl I covered in official capacity was in two

2471
02:17:56,280 --> 02:17:59,160
Speaker 2: thousand and six. It was at Ford Field in Detroit.

2472
02:17:59,560 --> 02:18:03,039
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh beat them. Antoine RANDALLLL made that great play. I

2473
02:18:03,040 --> 02:18:05,560
Speaker 2: am telling you. It was basically a Steelers home game.

2474
02:18:06,120 --> 02:18:08,680
Speaker 2: Everybody Pittsburgh's a four and a half hour drive from Detroit,

2475
02:18:09,040 --> 02:18:11,160
Speaker 2: they all drove in. It was a very competitive game,

2476
02:18:11,959 --> 02:18:16,760
Speaker 2: but Pittsburgh did prevail and they lost to that game.

2477
02:18:16,800 --> 02:18:19,760
Speaker 2: And then of course the game that everybody's talking about,

2478
02:18:19,800 --> 02:18:21,720
Speaker 2: This is no rematch. Okay, knock it off of that.

2479
02:18:21,760 --> 02:18:25,160
Speaker 2: Eleven years later, none of these players forget it. There's

2480
02:18:25,200 --> 02:18:29,120
Speaker 2: nothing is the same or resembles what this game was

2481
02:18:29,800 --> 02:18:34,000
Speaker 2: in a Super Bowl was at forty nine with the

2482
02:18:34,280 --> 02:18:36,000
Speaker 2: you know, infamous play at the end with the Malcolm

2483
02:18:36,000 --> 02:18:38,800
Speaker 2: Butler interception, one of the super Bowls might have gone

2484
02:18:38,879 --> 02:18:42,520
Speaker 2: or the Seahawks might have gone back to back. Which

2485
02:18:42,560 --> 02:18:44,120
Speaker 2: is why I don't like this narrative that it's a

2486
02:18:44,160 --> 02:18:48,119
Speaker 2: rematch of Super Bowl fifty nine, right where Malcolm Butler

2487
02:18:48,160 --> 02:18:50,520
Speaker 2: intercepted Russell Wilson the goal line and the last play

2488
02:18:50,560 --> 02:18:53,360
Speaker 2: of the game, the patch that should be noted. Patriots

2489
02:18:53,360 --> 02:18:55,760
Speaker 2: were down ten within to eight minutes to go. They

2490
02:18:55,760 --> 02:18:59,800
Speaker 2: won twenty eight to twenty four, Tom Brady won Super

2491
02:18:59,800 --> 02:19:02,080
Speaker 2: Bowl Old MVP after throwing for three hundred and twenty

2492
02:19:02,080 --> 02:19:05,640
Speaker 2: eight yards, four touchdowns, and he threw two picks. Okay,

2493
02:19:05,720 --> 02:19:10,640
Speaker 2: so careful with Sam Darnell hate if you were by

2494
02:19:10,680 --> 02:19:13,240
Speaker 2: the way, this is the you can call this a rematch.

2495
02:19:13,879 --> 02:19:17,280
Speaker 2: You can only because these two teams did play each

2496
02:19:17,320 --> 02:19:24,440
Speaker 2: other in the Super Bowl well eleven years ago. Right,

2497
02:19:24,440 --> 02:19:26,520
Speaker 2: But it's not like when Buffalo had the rematch. I

2498
02:19:26,520 --> 02:19:28,280
Speaker 2: think it was against Dallas back to back years in

2499
02:19:28,280 --> 02:19:31,640
Speaker 2: the early nineties. It's the tenth Super Bowl rematch in history.

2500
02:19:31,680 --> 02:19:34,200
Speaker 2: The winner of the first meeting is six and three

2501
02:19:34,200 --> 02:19:37,320
Speaker 2: in a second meeting, Well, does that mean the Seahawks

2502
02:19:37,360 --> 02:19:43,440
Speaker 2: wind tomorrow? It just doesn't correlate as anything worthwhile. The Pats,

2503
02:19:43,920 --> 02:19:46,240
Speaker 2: they went fourteen and three. They won the AFC East.

2504
02:19:46,640 --> 02:19:50,160
Speaker 2: What's noteworthy about that? They ended the Buffalo Bills five

2505
02:19:50,240 --> 02:19:53,879
Speaker 2: years streak of division crowns. New England was the second seed,

2506
02:19:53,920 --> 02:19:56,800
Speaker 2: number two seed in the AFC behind the Denver Broncos,

2507
02:19:56,800 --> 02:19:58,760
Speaker 2: who they beat in Denver two weeks ago to get

2508
02:19:58,760 --> 02:20:01,640
Speaker 2: to the Super Bowl. The Pats also beat the Chargers

2509
02:20:02,000 --> 02:20:05,040
Speaker 2: sixteen to three in the wildcard round and the Texans

2510
02:20:05,080 --> 02:20:08,520
Speaker 2: eighteen to sixteen in the divisional round, the Broncos ten

2511
02:20:08,560 --> 02:20:11,040
Speaker 2: to seven in the championship. You see the low scoring games.

2512
02:20:11,160 --> 02:20:13,320
Speaker 2: I don't think it's gonna be that low scoring tomorrow,

2513
02:20:13,560 --> 02:20:16,160
Speaker 2: but twenty three to twenty feels about right. Give it

2514
02:20:16,200 --> 02:20:19,760
Speaker 2: up to the Seahawks, also fourteen to three, won the

2515
02:20:19,879 --> 02:20:23,600
Speaker 2: NFC West, their first divisional title since twenty twenty. Seattle

2516
02:20:23,720 --> 02:20:26,360
Speaker 2: was the very deserving and again a lot thanks to

2517
02:20:26,360 --> 02:20:30,199
Speaker 2: Sam Darnold, very deserving number one seed in the NFC.

2518
02:20:30,760 --> 02:20:33,720
Speaker 2: They are in the coveted first round by and home

2519
02:20:33,720 --> 02:20:38,760
Speaker 2: field advantage throughout the playoffs. Seahawks, how'd they get there?

2520
02:20:39,040 --> 02:20:41,920
Speaker 2: They defeated the forty nine ers forty one to six

2521
02:20:42,000 --> 02:20:45,920
Speaker 2: in the divisional round. They came back to beat Durrams

2522
02:20:46,080 --> 02:20:50,120
Speaker 2: thirty one to twenty seven two weeks ago today. Now,

2523
02:20:50,160 --> 02:20:52,720
Speaker 2: this is the only Super Bowl since the nineteen seventy

2524
02:20:52,800 --> 02:20:57,480
Speaker 2: AFL NFL merger in which both teams ranked in top

2525
02:20:57,520 --> 02:21:02,039
Speaker 2: four in regular season scoring offense and regular season scoring defense.

2526
02:21:02,320 --> 02:21:05,160
Speaker 2: So these are very talented teams. By the way, It's

2527
02:21:05,160 --> 02:21:09,000
Speaker 2: the first Super Bowl matchup since nineteen eighty one, when

2528
02:21:09,000 --> 02:21:11,400
Speaker 2: the Niners played the Cincinnati Bengals. For that game was

2529
02:21:11,440 --> 02:21:17,000
Speaker 2: actually played in January of eighty two in Detroit, Bill Washington,

2530
02:21:17,000 --> 02:21:19,400
Speaker 2: the Niners and Joe Montana. They won their first Super Bowl,

2531
02:21:19,800 --> 02:21:23,760
Speaker 2: but it featured two teams that had preseason Super Bowl

2532
02:21:23,760 --> 02:21:30,320
Speaker 2: odds a fifty to one or longer. The Pats last

2533
02:21:30,360 --> 02:21:34,000
Speaker 2: Super Bowl, well, wow, it's been a long tough drop

2534
02:21:34,080 --> 02:21:36,520
Speaker 2: for Patriots fans. Came at the end of the twenty

2535
02:21:36,560 --> 02:21:41,800
Speaker 2: eighteen season in Super Bowl fifty three and they beat

2536
02:21:41,840 --> 02:21:44,000
Speaker 2: the Rams thirteen to three. That was a high scoring

2537
02:21:44,080 --> 02:21:46,680
Speaker 2: Rams team all here Sean mcvay's first year. Don't blame

2538
02:21:46,800 --> 02:21:50,680
Speaker 2: Jared Goff. Okay, it was a defensive battle. Yaes golf

2539
02:21:50,760 --> 02:21:52,840
Speaker 2: was nineteen to thirty eight for two to twenty nine,

2540
02:21:53,720 --> 02:21:56,800
Speaker 2: took four sacks. Julian Edelman the MVP of that game,

2541
02:21:57,360 --> 02:22:00,320
Speaker 2: ten catches forty one hundred and forty one yards. Very

2542
02:22:00,400 --> 02:22:04,840
Speaker 2: well deserving. The Pats appeared in two Super Bowls even

2543
02:22:04,879 --> 02:22:08,480
Speaker 2: before that. They lost in Super Bowl to See against

2544
02:22:08,480 --> 02:22:13,360
Speaker 2: the Eagles. That was in That was in twenty eighteen,

2545
02:22:13,600 --> 02:22:16,280
Speaker 2: I believe, yeah, forty one to thirty three. That was

2546
02:22:16,320 --> 02:22:18,440
Speaker 2: when the Nick That was when Nick Foles threw for

2547
02:22:18,480 --> 02:22:21,240
Speaker 2: the three touchdowns, and that was the game of the

2548
02:22:21,240 --> 02:22:25,560
Speaker 2: Philly Special, but in a loss, Tom Brady actually threw

2549
02:22:25,600 --> 02:22:28,240
Speaker 2: for five hundred and five yards and three touchdowns, and

2550
02:22:28,320 --> 02:22:31,520
Speaker 2: that lost the year before that, that was the famous

2551
02:22:31,600 --> 02:22:34,200
Speaker 2: or infamous game, depending on whether or not you're a

2552
02:22:34,240 --> 02:22:39,200
Speaker 2: Falcons fan or chief or Patriots fan. The Pats beat

2553
02:22:39,200 --> 02:22:42,000
Speaker 2: the Falcons thirty four to twenty eight, overcoming that twenty

2554
02:22:42,040 --> 02:22:44,959
Speaker 2: eight to three deficit. Brady threw for four to sixty six,

2555
02:22:45,120 --> 02:22:48,039
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl record until he broke it that following year.

2556
02:22:48,080 --> 02:22:51,480
Speaker 2: So imagine that back to back years. You win one,

2557
02:22:51,520 --> 02:22:53,400
Speaker 2: you lose one, but you throw for nine hundred and

2558
02:22:53,440 --> 02:22:57,720
Speaker 2: seventy one yards. Yep. James White ran for a touchdown.

2559
02:22:57,720 --> 02:23:00,600
Speaker 2: He made a twenty eight twenty six Atlanta thunder one

2560
02:23:00,640 --> 02:23:05,600
Speaker 2: minute left, but Tom Brady caught a touchdown pass from

2561
02:23:05,680 --> 02:23:07,920
Speaker 2: Julian Edelman, who was actually a quarterback in college for

2562
02:23:07,920 --> 02:23:10,240
Speaker 2: a while to go into overtime. That was the first

2563
02:23:10,280 --> 02:23:14,680
Speaker 2: ever overtime in Super Bowl history. Well, you know, we

2564
02:23:14,720 --> 02:23:16,560
Speaker 2: got a little thing called World Cup coming up in

2565
02:23:16,600 --> 02:23:20,080
Speaker 2: a few months. Here, it's right around the corner, right

2566
02:23:20,200 --> 02:23:24,360
Speaker 2: around the corner. That's why at this time we already

2567
02:23:24,360 --> 02:23:27,360
Speaker 2: again for another edition of Chris Profett's world of.

2568
02:23:27,480 --> 02:23:42,000
Speaker 20: Soccer, the greatest goals, the thrilling finishes, the international drum. Hi,

2569
02:23:45,080 --> 02:23:48,520
Speaker 20: it's all here in this report from the world of soccer.

2570
02:23:48,959 --> 02:23:49,800
Speaker 1: That'd be Super.

2571
02:23:49,560 --> 02:23:52,440
Speaker 26: Bowl weekend, Bernie to all of you and those across

2572
02:23:52,480 --> 02:23:55,040
Speaker 26: the world of soccer. And I think on this world

2573
02:23:55,040 --> 02:23:57,680
Speaker 26: of soccer, what I wanted to do is something I

2574
02:23:57,800 --> 02:24:02,120
Speaker 26: really enjoy, which is history and etymology. So one of

2575
02:24:02,120 --> 02:24:05,200
Speaker 26: the things we struggle with when talking about the world

2576
02:24:05,240 --> 02:24:08,879
Speaker 26: of soccer sometimes is the fact that we have the

2577
02:24:08,920 --> 02:24:13,279
Speaker 26: word football, which means of course two different sports depending

2578
02:24:13,320 --> 02:24:14,760
Speaker 26: on the context of where you are.

2579
02:24:15,000 --> 02:24:16,400
Speaker 1: I love to call our.

2580
02:24:16,280 --> 02:24:19,000
Speaker 26: Football here in the United States American football because it

2581
02:24:19,040 --> 02:24:22,199
Speaker 26: feels right, It feels cool to call it American football.

2582
02:24:22,240 --> 02:24:25,080
Speaker 26: Though granted, it then gets into issues when a very

2583
02:24:25,080 --> 02:24:28,920
Speaker 26: similar game, just with altered rules, slightly wider fields only

2584
02:24:28,959 --> 02:24:31,200
Speaker 26: three downs, is in Canada and we have to call

2585
02:24:31,240 --> 02:24:34,039
Speaker 26: it Canadian football as well. But largely when you say

2586
02:24:34,120 --> 02:24:37,360
Speaker 26: American football or grid iron football, people know exactly what

2587
02:24:37,400 --> 02:24:40,040
Speaker 26: you're talking about. Meanwhile, on the other hand, we do

2588
02:24:40,160 --> 02:24:44,200
Speaker 26: have soccer, or for most people in the world football.

2589
02:24:44,600 --> 02:24:46,640
Speaker 26: Of course, that's not the only football out there. There

2590
02:24:46,720 --> 02:24:52,480
Speaker 26: is Gaelic football played in Ireland, there's Australian rules football.

2591
02:24:52,760 --> 02:24:54,520
Speaker 26: When we used to work together on the show, there

2592
02:24:54,560 --> 02:24:56,199
Speaker 26: was a lot of nights in the studio where I'd

2593
02:24:56,200 --> 02:24:59,600
Speaker 26: have on the Australian Football League the AFL on the

2594
02:24:59,640 --> 02:25:01,760
Speaker 26: TV as we get those games played over there. And

2595
02:25:01,840 --> 02:25:06,160
Speaker 26: that's a very different game itself. Rugby itself, the sport

2596
02:25:06,200 --> 02:25:09,520
Speaker 26: of rugby from which I think American football is the

2597
02:25:09,600 --> 02:25:13,560
Speaker 26: closest relative, distinctly on the evolution of all these games,

2598
02:25:14,000 --> 02:25:17,680
Speaker 26: is in many ways still called football. It is rugby league,

2599
02:25:17,800 --> 02:25:22,240
Speaker 26: rugby union, football rules is how we refer to rugby.

2600
02:25:22,440 --> 02:25:25,560
Speaker 26: So all of these games, all of these very very

2601
02:25:25,560 --> 02:25:27,959
Speaker 26: different games, are all called football. And there is a

2602
02:25:28,040 --> 02:25:31,760
Speaker 26: lot of people who all get around and they argue

2603
02:25:31,800 --> 02:25:36,080
Speaker 26: and fight a lot about what exactly is football, which

2604
02:25:36,080 --> 02:25:40,440
Speaker 26: one's the real football. There's a lot of derision on

2605
02:25:40,600 --> 02:25:43,240
Speaker 26: these sort of things. There's a lot of questions about

2606
02:25:43,280 --> 02:25:46,400
Speaker 26: American football, how little of it is actually played with

2607
02:25:46,520 --> 02:25:50,800
Speaker 26: the foot, But I think that's a false etymology that

2608
02:25:50,879 --> 02:25:53,400
Speaker 26: has really worked our way in there. There is nothing

2609
02:25:53,400 --> 02:25:57,320
Speaker 26: about the history of football that says it must be kicked,

2610
02:25:57,600 --> 02:26:01,560
Speaker 26: you must use your foot. Soccer or football does use

2611
02:26:01,600 --> 02:26:04,160
Speaker 26: the foot a lot, but I can't say the same

2612
02:26:04,200 --> 02:26:08,840
Speaker 26: about Australian rules football. Gaelic football likewise, is much like

2613
02:26:09,160 --> 02:26:14,039
Speaker 26: you know American football or rugby rugby, Gaelic, Australian rules football,

2614
02:26:14,040 --> 02:26:17,360
Speaker 26: American football, Canadian football. All of these games that we

2615
02:26:17,440 --> 02:26:22,040
Speaker 26: call football do not use their feet except for kicking situations.

2616
02:26:22,040 --> 02:26:25,080
Speaker 26: But it's largely a ball being carried by hand. So

2617
02:26:25,120 --> 02:26:27,640
Speaker 26: why do we call it football. There's a lot of

2618
02:26:27,640 --> 02:26:31,680
Speaker 26: different things we're talking about. A game, ultimately in the

2619
02:26:31,720 --> 02:26:37,320
Speaker 26: evolution of sport of pastime, traces its lineages all the

2620
02:26:37,320 --> 02:26:40,360
Speaker 26: way back to the Middle Ages of Europe, so there's

2621
02:26:40,400 --> 02:26:42,800
Speaker 26: a lot of and by the way, a game that

2622
02:26:42,879 --> 02:26:47,560
Speaker 26: is very much so was the domain of peasantry and

2623
02:26:47,600 --> 02:26:50,720
Speaker 26: the lower classes in those Middle Ages, which means there's

2624
02:26:50,760 --> 02:26:54,560
Speaker 26: not a lot of records that really study it. Not

2625
02:26:54,760 --> 02:26:58,560
Speaker 26: a terrible amount of ink is being spent trying to quantify,

2626
02:26:58,720 --> 02:27:01,280
Speaker 26: understand and write down the rules of a game being

2627
02:27:01,360 --> 02:27:02,600
Speaker 26: run by illiterate serfs.

2628
02:27:02,680 --> 02:27:04,840
Speaker 13: At the end of the day, that's just how it is.

2629
02:27:05,000 --> 02:27:09,080
Speaker 26: History is often written by a much higher class sometimes, However,

2630
02:27:10,160 --> 02:27:12,400
Speaker 26: of the records we have, which is usually because there's

2631
02:27:12,440 --> 02:27:15,280
Speaker 26: some sort of violence that arises from these games, none

2632
02:27:15,280 --> 02:27:17,480
Speaker 26: of those records really indicate whether you're supposed to play

2633
02:27:17,480 --> 02:27:20,960
Speaker 26: it by your feet or by your hands, sometimes interchangeably.

2634
02:27:21,200 --> 02:27:24,000
Speaker 26: And I think the etymology I cleave to the most

2635
02:27:24,280 --> 02:27:27,720
Speaker 26: from what I have read, is that the name football

2636
02:27:28,080 --> 02:27:32,160
Speaker 26: derives not from how you could used the ball in

2637
02:27:32,240 --> 02:27:35,160
Speaker 26: a game, or even the size of the ball, but

2638
02:27:35,240 --> 02:27:38,720
Speaker 26: to differentiate it in that you played this game, this

2639
02:27:38,840 --> 02:27:43,960
Speaker 26: ballgame on foot. You were as compared to being mounted

2640
02:27:44,000 --> 02:27:47,080
Speaker 26: on horseback, which a lot of horse riding sports was

2641
02:27:47,200 --> 02:27:52,160
Speaker 26: the domain of aristocracy and in higher classes. But you

2642
02:27:52,200 --> 02:27:56,240
Speaker 26: were playing these games on foot versus playing them on horseback.

2643
02:27:56,320 --> 02:28:00,080
Speaker 26: So football, and that's kind of I think where a

2644
02:28:00,080 --> 02:28:02,480
Speaker 26: lot of this came from. But it also means that

2645
02:28:02,560 --> 02:28:06,959
Speaker 26: we have this shared culture, a mass evolutionary tree of

2646
02:28:07,000 --> 02:28:09,240
Speaker 26: games that comes from this simple idea that you are

2647
02:28:09,240 --> 02:28:13,200
Speaker 26: on foot carrying or moving a ball down the field.

2648
02:28:13,480 --> 02:28:15,240
Speaker 26: But I know here in the United States we only

2649
02:28:15,280 --> 02:28:17,160
Speaker 26: call it the super Bowl, and it's one of my

2650
02:28:17,200 --> 02:28:19,920
Speaker 26: favorite times here from us the world of soccer, I

2651
02:28:19,959 --> 02:28:22,000
Speaker 26: would like to go ahead and make my pick step

2652
02:28:22,000 --> 02:28:24,280
Speaker 26: out of my realm of soccer for a second. I

2653
02:28:24,400 --> 02:28:26,880
Speaker 26: do like the Seattle Seahawks in this game, and I

2654
02:28:26,879 --> 02:28:28,880
Speaker 26: think it would be one hell of a story for

2655
02:28:28,959 --> 02:28:32,600
Speaker 26: Sam Darnld to become the first USC quarterback to win

2656
02:28:32,640 --> 02:28:35,600
Speaker 26: the Super Bowl. My alma mater. I got my masters

2657
02:28:35,600 --> 02:28:38,400
Speaker 26: at USC. There's been a lot of great players through

2658
02:28:38,400 --> 02:28:40,760
Speaker 26: the years. No one who played quarterback has won a

2659
02:28:40,800 --> 02:28:43,600
Speaker 26: Super Bowl. I was actually at USC when Sam Darnold

2660
02:28:43,800 --> 02:28:46,720
Speaker 26: was playing, so this has been very fun to watch

2661
02:28:46,959 --> 02:28:49,840
Speaker 26: all come down. Enjoy the big game, Bernie, from all

2662
02:28:49,840 --> 02:28:51,560
Speaker 26: of us in the world of soccer. We'll get back

2663
02:28:51,600 --> 02:28:55,560
Speaker 26: to the other football next time. Until then, enjoy those

2664
02:28:55,600 --> 02:28:59,959
Speaker 26: wings and we'll see you star side ooo weaving.

2665
02:28:59,760 --> 02:29:06,320
Speaker 2: In football fut bl to football fot B A L

2666
02:29:06,520 --> 02:29:09,600
Speaker 2: L see. I'm telling you we've come full circle. I

2667
02:29:09,680 --> 02:29:12,800
Speaker 2: opened the show talking about Sam Donald. We talked about

2668
02:29:12,800 --> 02:29:15,560
Speaker 2: Sam Donald during the midnight hour, and we finished the

2669
02:29:15,600 --> 02:29:18,840
Speaker 2: show talking about Sam Donald. I'm still the belief he

2670
02:29:18,959 --> 02:29:21,840
Speaker 2: deserves the benefit of the doubt bothers me the stigma

2671
02:29:21,959 --> 02:29:24,800
Speaker 2: he carries. If a guy who people aren't still sure

2672
02:29:24,800 --> 02:29:27,960
Speaker 2: they can trust in big moments, Come on, Mal, get

2673
02:29:28,000 --> 02:29:30,160
Speaker 2: the kid a break. By the way, have you ever

2674
02:29:30,600 --> 02:29:33,720
Speaker 2: wiped with a piece of dry toilet paper and wondered

2675
02:29:34,240 --> 02:29:37,080

2682
02:30:07,120 --> 02:30:10,480
Speaker 2: keep seeing those commercials on TV with Bradley Cooper seeing

2683
02:30:10,520 --> 02:30:16,240
Speaker 2: the NFL is just sort of a front to sell food. Well,

2684
02:30:17,320 --> 02:30:20,320
Speaker 2: he may be right when it comes to Super Bowl Sunday.

2697
02:31:11,240 --> 02:31:16,000
Speaker 2: you've probably seen those commercials ad nauseam whereby Bradley Cooper

2698
02:31:17,160 --> 02:31:20,920
Speaker 2: you know his plan words Jerry Rice named players who

2699
02:31:20,959 --> 02:31:26,040
Speaker 2: have names that you don't resemble, food or situations where

2700
02:31:26,360 --> 02:31:29,600
Speaker 2: he's implying Bradley Cooper is implying that the NFL is

2701
02:31:29,640 --> 02:31:35,720
Speaker 2: merely a vehicle to promote people eating more. Well, he

2702
02:31:35,800 --> 02:31:39,480
Speaker 2: might not be wrong. On Super Bowl Sunday. In just

2703
02:31:39,520 --> 02:31:43,440
Speaker 2: a few hours, Super Bowl Sunday twenty six will be

2704
02:31:43,480 --> 02:31:48,160
Speaker 2: in full bloom. Americans, get ready for this. Put your

2705
02:31:48,160 --> 02:31:52,880
Speaker 2: seatbelts on, Buckle up for about what you're about to hear.

2706
02:31:54,600 --> 02:31:59,400
Speaker 2: Americans are projected to consume approximately one point four eight

2707
02:31:59,680 --> 02:32:04,879
Speaker 2: billion with a bee billion chicken wings, eleven million pounds

2708
02:32:04,920 --> 02:32:10,000
Speaker 2: of potato chips, two point nine million pizzas. The only

2709
02:32:10,160 --> 02:32:15,199
Speaker 2: day in which the people in the United States eat

2710
02:32:15,280 --> 02:32:20,400
Speaker 2: more is Thanksgiving, but in all total fans are expected

2711
02:32:20,360 --> 02:32:25,279
Speaker 2: to consume Sunday, including me, two point five billion pounds

2712
02:32:25,280 --> 02:32:31,160
Speaker 2: of total food. Here's what blows me away. That's one

2713
02:32:31,200 --> 02:32:33,640
Speaker 2: point five billion chicken wings. It's an increase of ten

2714
02:32:33,720 --> 02:32:38,360
Speaker 2: million over last year, whether people get hungrier or did

2715
02:32:38,360 --> 02:32:41,800
Speaker 2: more people start eating chicken wings or what. Eleven million

2716
02:32:41,920 --> 02:32:45,520
Speaker 2: pounds of potato chips, eight million pounds of tortilla chips,

2717
02:32:45,840 --> 02:32:50,039
Speaker 2: thirty million pounds of total snacks, one hundred and thirty

2718
02:32:50,120 --> 02:32:54,960
Speaker 2: nine million pounds of avocados purchased, two hundred and thirty

2719
02:32:55,000 --> 02:32:58,920
Speaker 2: seven million spent on soda, and a twelve million dollar

2720
02:32:59,440 --> 02:33:05,879
Speaker 2: increase in beer sales. Party goers, Well, you can expect

2721
02:33:06,160 --> 02:33:10,959
Speaker 2: during the three hour game most party goers you know,

2722
02:33:11,160 --> 02:33:14,320
Speaker 2: partaking in the game in that three here's the kicker.

2723
02:33:14,879 --> 02:33:18,879
Speaker 2: In that three hour window, I'm going to consume upwards

2724
02:33:18,879 --> 02:33:24,040
Speaker 2: of two thousand calories. So, in terms of trends, forty

2725
02:33:24,120 --> 02:33:27,560
Speaker 2: nine percent of us plan to eat pizza. That caught

2726
02:33:27,600 --> 02:33:32,560
Speaker 2: me in that forty four percent plan to eat wings. Yes,

2727
02:33:33,400 --> 02:33:39,480
Speaker 2: Super Bowl Sunday, other than Thanksgiving, is the largest food

2728
02:33:39,840 --> 02:33:46,000
Speaker 2: consumption day in the country. Doesn't in there. And by

2729
02:33:46,000 --> 02:33:48,840
Speaker 2: the way, that's those avocados. That makes eight million pounds

2730
02:33:48,840 --> 02:33:53,400
Speaker 2: of guacamole. Yeah. Yeah. Super Bowl Sunday is the only

2731
02:33:53,600 --> 02:33:57,720
Speaker 2: event in the world that draws a larger TV audience

2732
02:33:58,080 --> 02:34:01,800
Speaker 2: than the UEFA Championship League's title game. By the way,

2733
02:34:02,720 --> 02:34:06,520
Speaker 2: for those Great Unwashed. That's soccer. You're here for Chris

2734
02:34:06,520 --> 02:34:09,800
Speaker 2: Perffett's World of Soccer every Sunday morning on the show.

2735
02:34:09,879 --> 02:34:13,320
Speaker 2: That's a huge deal in most of the world outside

2736
02:34:13,320 --> 02:34:16,920
Speaker 2: of the United States. Okay, here's how huge it is again.

2737
02:34:16,959 --> 02:34:19,960
Speaker 2: It draws a larger audience in the Super Bowl. Let's see.

2738
02:34:20,000 --> 02:34:23,800
Speaker 2: You want to place an ad and for commercial inside

2739
02:34:23,840 --> 02:34:29,560
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl telecast. It's by far more expensive than

2740
02:34:29,600 --> 02:34:34,160
Speaker 2: any other television event. I remember many many years ago

2741
02:34:34,200 --> 02:34:38,480
Speaker 2: when they finally broke the magical one million for a minute. Now,

2742
02:34:38,520 --> 02:34:42,640
Speaker 2: the average cost is two point eight million for thirty seconds,

2743
02:34:43,760 --> 02:34:46,000
Speaker 2: but that just gets you in the door. It can

2744
02:34:46,000 --> 02:34:49,640
Speaker 2: go for as much as seven million for thirty seconds,

2745
02:34:49,640 --> 02:34:53,160
Speaker 2: depending on the slot. In the time you're at you

2746
02:34:53,160 --> 02:34:54,480
Speaker 2: know it appears during the game.

2747
02:34:54,920 --> 02:34:55,080
Speaker 14: Now.

2748
02:34:55,080 --> 02:34:57,600
Speaker 2: In nineteen sixty seven, when the first Super Bowl was

2749
02:34:57,640 --> 02:35:03,760
Speaker 2: played in the Los Angeles Coliseum between the Chiefs and

2750
02:35:03,879 --> 02:35:07,440
Speaker 2: the Green Bay Packers. And oh, by the way, it

2751
02:35:07,480 --> 02:35:09,280
Speaker 2: wasn't even called the Super Bowl in it was called

2752
02:35:09,320 --> 02:35:12,600
Speaker 2: the NFL AFL Championship Game. They had to give away

2753
02:35:12,640 --> 02:35:16,920
Speaker 2: tickets to put people in the stadium there at the Coliseum.

2754
02:35:17,120 --> 02:35:20,680
Speaker 2: Commercials cost between seventy five thousand and eighty five thousand

2755
02:35:20,760 --> 02:35:23,800
Speaker 2: for one minute of air time. Now you'll spend between

2756
02:35:23,800 --> 02:35:27,320
Speaker 2: two point eight million and seven million for thirty seconds.

2757
02:35:30,120 --> 02:35:32,240
Speaker 2: And by the way, I mentioned that there are eight

2758
02:35:32,280 --> 02:35:37,119
Speaker 2: million pounds of guacamole that will be eaten. Okay, well

2759
02:35:37,160 --> 02:35:39,280
Speaker 2: you got to have something to dip into that guacamole.

2760
02:35:39,800 --> 02:35:46,640
Speaker 2: So apparently fourteen thousand, five hundred tons of chips are consumed. Yep.

2761
02:35:47,879 --> 02:35:49,959
Speaker 2: By the way, you know how they go through a

2762
02:35:50,000 --> 02:35:54,199
Speaker 2: ton of baseballs in a Major League Baseball game, usually

2763
02:35:54,200 --> 02:35:55,880
Speaker 2: about one hundred to one hundred and twenty per game,

2764
02:35:56,200 --> 02:35:59,320
Speaker 2: with five balls and balls getting nicked up and such. Well,

2765
02:35:59,360 --> 02:36:01,440
Speaker 2: believe it or not, every year in the Super Bowl,

2766
02:36:02,400 --> 02:36:04,360
Speaker 2: what do you figure they use eight to ten footballs

2767
02:36:04,440 --> 02:36:09,320
Speaker 2: during the game. No, try seventy two, touch seventy two

2768
02:36:09,640 --> 02:36:12,600
Speaker 2: and that's part of the allotment every year the NFL.

2769
02:36:12,680 --> 02:36:15,440
Speaker 2: You might want to go into the football business, you know,

2770
02:36:15,480 --> 02:36:20,520
Speaker 2: making footballs. Every year the NFL purchases, Well, there's what

2771
02:36:20,680 --> 02:36:23,119
Speaker 2: sixteen teams? What do you know about one thousand per team?

2772
02:36:23,840 --> 02:36:26,279
Speaker 2: The sixty one I needed? I am thirty two teams?

2773
02:36:26,280 --> 02:36:29,440
Speaker 2: One thousand, No, try this, there are more than seven

2774
02:36:29,560 --> 02:36:35,320
Speaker 2: hundred thousand footballs purchased by the NFL each year, and

2775
02:36:35,640 --> 02:36:38,520
Speaker 2: all footballs come from a factory, the same little factory

2776
02:36:38,560 --> 02:36:44,879
Speaker 2: in Ada, Ohio. No tomorrow, No, I'll check that. Today

2777
02:36:44,920 --> 02:36:54,000
Speaker 2: we are in Sunday. I would say around sixteen seventeen

2778
02:36:54,040 --> 02:36:58,360
Speaker 2: hours from now, someone will have won the game. They'll

2779
02:36:58,360 --> 02:37:02,080
Speaker 2: have the postgame ceremonies and the trophy, and the award

2780
02:37:02,240 --> 02:37:04,160
Speaker 2: given to the winning Super Bowl team is called the

2781
02:37:04,200 --> 02:37:09,720
Speaker 2: Lombardi Trophy. Right more trivia. It weighs seven pounds, stamps

2782
02:37:09,720 --> 02:37:15,640
Speaker 2: twenty one inches high, and it's worth twenty five thousand dollars,

2783
02:37:15,800 --> 02:37:21,280
Speaker 2: that little trophy and a little and in case you

2784
02:37:21,760 --> 02:37:25,120
Speaker 2: have been on Mars, Vince Lombardi was the coach of

2785
02:37:25,120 --> 02:37:27,680
Speaker 2: the Green Bay Packers. He won the first Super Bowl

2786
02:37:27,680 --> 02:37:30,880
Speaker 2: in nineteen sixty seven, beating the Chiefs thirty five to ten.

2787
02:37:31,400 --> 02:37:34,880
Speaker 2: Came back and won the second Super Bowl in nineteen

2788
02:37:34,959 --> 02:37:40,439
Speaker 2: sixty eight, beating the Raiders thirty three to fourteen, and

2789
02:37:40,560 --> 02:37:44,120
Speaker 2: the Packers were actually NFL champions in sixty six. They

2790
02:37:44,160 --> 02:37:47,240
Speaker 2: did three peete we talked about last year. At this

2791
02:37:47,440 --> 02:37:51,520
Speaker 2: time last year, the Chiefs were camping to be calm.

2792
02:37:52,879 --> 02:37:56,200
Speaker 2: The first ever team in the Super Bowl era to

2793
02:37:56,240 --> 02:37:59,959
Speaker 2: win three in a row. Now again, the Packers won

2794
02:38:00,080 --> 02:38:02,200
Speaker 2: two in a row in the Super Bowl era, but

2795
02:38:02,240 --> 02:38:04,920
Speaker 2: before that was just the NFL Championship game in sixty six.

2796
02:38:05,080 --> 02:38:07,119
Speaker 2: But they actually won three in row. Well you saw

2797
02:38:07,160 --> 02:38:10,400
Speaker 2: how that worked out. Oh, by the way, what if

2798
02:38:10,400 --> 02:38:13,160
Speaker 2: I told you last year at this time the two

2799
02:38:13,240 --> 02:38:18,160
Speaker 2: teams that were competing, the Chiefs were a favorite, would

2800
02:38:18,160 --> 02:38:19,680
Speaker 2: not only not get back to the Super Bowl, they

2801
02:38:19,680 --> 02:38:22,920
Speaker 2: wouldn't make the playoffs. You might have asked if I'd

2802
02:38:22,920 --> 02:38:28,959
Speaker 2: gotten into grandpa's cough syrup. More trivia Sarah Thomas. She

2803
02:38:29,000 --> 02:38:32,240
Speaker 2: became the first woman to officiate a Super Bowl. And

2804
02:38:32,360 --> 02:38:34,240
Speaker 2: that's ain't you new? She did that back in twenty

2805
02:38:34,280 --> 02:38:37,680
Speaker 2: twenty one. Now here's you might get a chuckle out

2806
02:38:37,680 --> 02:38:42,320
Speaker 2: of this one. Players on the winning team of the

2807
02:38:42,400 --> 02:38:46,480
Speaker 2: very first Super Bowl, which were the Packers, they each

2808
02:38:46,600 --> 02:38:51,240
Speaker 2: received a Super Bowl check of fifteen thousand dollars. But

2809
02:38:51,600 --> 02:38:55,720
Speaker 2: later on tonight, the winning players on the Super Bowl

2810
02:38:55,840 --> 02:39:00,600
Speaker 2: championship team will earn one hundred and seventy eight thousand,

2811
02:39:01,240 --> 02:39:04,039
Speaker 2: which I know sounds not like a lot compared to

2812
02:39:04,520 --> 02:39:06,920
Speaker 2: some of the salaries these guys make. There are multiple

2813
02:39:06,920 --> 02:39:08,640
Speaker 2: players in the league that make over a million dollars

2814
02:39:08,680 --> 02:39:11,600
Speaker 2: a game during the radio season. But not to worry.

2815
02:39:11,720 --> 02:39:15,440
Speaker 2: Even if you're on the losing team, players on the

2816
02:39:15,480 --> 02:39:18,840
Speaker 2: losing team will get a cool one hundred and three

2817
02:39:18,879 --> 02:39:23,040
Speaker 2: thousand dollars apiece. Now I know we do these things.

2818
02:39:25,320 --> 02:39:27,879
Speaker 2: You can bet, you can't in Vegas. You figure the

2819
02:39:27,920 --> 02:39:30,240
Speaker 2: rule of thumb is in Vegas. If you want to

2820
02:39:30,280 --> 02:39:33,320
Speaker 2: play some bet, it's got to be a wager where

2821
02:39:33,440 --> 02:39:35,360
Speaker 2: the outcome is decided on the field and you can

2822
02:39:35,400 --> 02:39:41,400
Speaker 2: find it in a box score. Okay, the national anthem

2823
02:39:41,480 --> 02:39:43,440
Speaker 2: and the LinkedIn the national anthem is not decided on

2824
02:39:43,520 --> 02:39:45,720
Speaker 2: the field, although if you want to get technical, I

2825
02:39:45,720 --> 02:39:48,040
Speaker 2: guess you're standing on the field. But you can bet

2826
02:39:48,080 --> 02:39:51,080
Speaker 2: you over under for how long will what will your

2827
02:39:51,160 --> 02:39:54,440
Speaker 2: performance last? Alicia Keys holds the record for having some

2828
02:39:54,520 --> 02:39:59,120
Speaker 2: of the longest Super Bowl National anthem two minutes and

2829
02:39:59,200 --> 02:40:05,160
Speaker 2: thirty five secon during Super Bowl fifties forty seven in

2830
02:40:05,240 --> 02:40:10,440
Speaker 2: back in twenty thirteen. Her performance beat Natalie Cole and

2831
02:40:10,520 --> 02:40:14,280
Speaker 2: her one hundred and fifty two second performance, which so

2832
02:40:14,360 --> 02:40:16,800
Speaker 2: that'd be what to two minutes and thirty two seconds,

2833
02:40:16,920 --> 02:40:20,000
Speaker 2: beat it by three seconds. Her record actually stood for

2834
02:40:20,040 --> 02:40:24,080
Speaker 2: twenty years. Natalie Coole's record and again, and I mentioned

2835
02:40:24,080 --> 02:40:27,560
Speaker 2: this a second ago to Super Bowl, the name super

2836
02:40:27,560 --> 02:40:31,320
Speaker 2: Bowl did not officially become by the title until the

2837
02:40:31,360 --> 02:40:33,840
Speaker 2: third game. I don't even think the word super Bowl

2838
02:40:33,840 --> 02:40:36,039
Speaker 2: was printed on the tickets to the fourth game, but

2839
02:40:36,240 --> 02:40:39,119
Speaker 2: the first two years it was designated the AFL NFL

2840
02:40:39,640 --> 02:40:44,240
Speaker 2: World Championship Game. Now, that is one argument that I

2841
02:40:44,280 --> 02:40:48,720
Speaker 2: think will not solve tonight, because some people say an

2842
02:40:48,760 --> 02:40:51,320
Speaker 2: executive was watching his son playing with an old toy

2843
02:40:51,360 --> 02:40:53,800
Speaker 2: back in the sixties called the super Bowl, bouncing it

2844
02:40:53,879 --> 02:40:55,760
Speaker 2: up and down when he said, yeah, we'll call it

2845
02:40:55,760 --> 02:40:59,000
Speaker 2: the super Bowl. Other people will refute that story anyway

2846
02:40:59,000 --> 02:41:00,840
Speaker 2: it slice it. We're gonna have a hell of a

2847
02:41:00,840 --> 02:41:02,760
Speaker 2: lot of fun here in about twelve and a half hours.

2848
02:41:03,360 --> 02:41:06,320
Speaker 2: Maybe the best team win. I've got this. I've got

2849
02:41:06,840 --> 02:41:09,080
Speaker 2: the Patriots plus four and a half in the first

2850
02:41:09,080 --> 02:41:10,959
Speaker 2: half under twenty one and a half. Good luck to

2851
02:41:11,000 --> 02:41:13,520
Speaker 2: you do it for the Bernie Froddles show up next

2852
02:41:13,560 --> 02:41:15,480
Speaker 2: to Andy Furman on Fox Sports Radio.
