1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,520
Speaker 1: Head coach of New England Patriots, Bill Belichick joins us,

2
00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:04,520
Speaker 1: good to see you again. Thanks, good to be here,

3
00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:06,520
Speaker 1: good to be working this week. It is good to

4
00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:08,960
Speaker 1: be working this week. I was thinking about that actually

5
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:11,879
Speaker 1: as a jump off point. I know that the super

6
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:13,920
Speaker 1: Bowl is the super Bowl, But do you find every

7
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:16,479
Speaker 1: one of these experiences is unique or are there things

8
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 1: that you carry from one year to the next as

9
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:20,919
Speaker 1: far as how you prepare and the things that you're

10
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:24,959
Speaker 1: doing well. I thought, I think there's some there's some carryover,

11
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 1: but it's it's pretty unique. The locations usually different, and

12
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:33,199
Speaker 1: the teams are certainly different from the other ones that

13
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 1: we've we've had. Um so that's that that that in

14
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:40,560
Speaker 1: itself is the most I'd say the biggest difference is

15
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 1: the team that you're playing and how unfamiliar you are

16
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 1: usually with those teams. Um. So that's we had a

17
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:51,919
Speaker 1: couple of situations where, you know, going back to other

18
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 1: super Bowls where we had please compar in the regular season,

19
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 1: but um, these last three not so much. Number eight,

20
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 1: Since you've been here as a head coach in terms

21
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:04,479
Speaker 1: of preparation, do you feel like you have it down

22
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 1: if you think about how you prepared for I'll say

23
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 1: the second one, because the first one was some unusual circumstances.

24
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 1: You get a quicker turnaround the way you prepare for

25
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 1: the second one is do you now? Do you do

26
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 1: you spend less time because it's so familiar to you.

27
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 1: How's that process? Well, I think there are some things

28
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 1: that you can carry from that, but it's it's a

29
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:27,559
Speaker 1: learning process. There are things that we learned from last

30
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 1: year that we'll do a little bit differently this year.

31
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 1: I think organizationally, UM, handling the logistics of transportation and

32
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:40,319
Speaker 1: hotels and so for all the things that go with that.

33
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 1: That's that's certainly become a pretty smooth process. So that's

34
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 1: that's been good. Now, you didn't play philiar this year,

35
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 1: but two guys are very familiar with it, be Chris

36
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 1: Long and la Garrett Blunt. How have those two fit

37
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 1: in with the Eagles this year? Well, they both have

38
00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 1: UM solid roles. UM Chris's they they wrote their defensive linements.

39
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 1: So Chris is part of that usually plays on our

40
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 1: right um and he's out a productive year and the

41
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: Garrett's in a good job for him and really all

42
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 1: situations primarily early downs in short yardage, but um, you

43
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:17,920
Speaker 1: know he's given them the plays that we know he

44
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 1: has and tough yardage plays and he's a very athletic

45
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 1: player when he gets into space, so they've done a

46
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,519
Speaker 1: good job for him as much as you can. Is

47
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: this a normal work week? I mean, I know there's

48
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of stuff going on around this, but

49
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 1: for you and your football team, do you try to

50
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:35,639
Speaker 1: make this as normal as you can? Well, we try

51
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 1: to make as productives we can. I wouldn't say it's normal.

52
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:41,399
Speaker 1: It's we're practicing Thursday through Sunday, and so that that's

53
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 1: a little bit different than what we normally do. But

54
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: we try to use our time efficiently, get the most

55
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 1: out of it. Where they be meetings, walk throughs, film study, practice. Um,

56
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 1: try to get our team prepared the best that we can.

57
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 1: We want them to all of us players and coaches,

58
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,080
Speaker 1: to be at our very best level next Sunday night.

59
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:00,799
Speaker 1: So that's that's the goal. That's our target. I heard

60
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 1: one of your press conferences last week. You were talking

61
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 1: about Chris Long being there as opposed to here. He

62
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 1: said he did a good job here for you in

63
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 1: this system, and this system in Philadelphia is probably more

64
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 1: suited to his skill set. What did you mean by that,

65
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 1: whether the big differences that he's doing there that he

66
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:22,800
Speaker 1: wasn't doing here. Well, let's say their systems pretty similar

67
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 1: to what he did with the Rams and ours is

68
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:31,079
Speaker 1: a little bit different from that. So but look, he's

69
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 1: a good player. He's he's shown he can play in

70
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 1: different systems. I'm not saying that worked out well for him,

71
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 1: So I'm happy for him. More more rushing opportunities there

72
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 1: is it? Would you say it is like more of

73
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 1: us a lot of nine technique five and nine technique.

74
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 1: And then I also want to ask you to speaking

75
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 1: of defense, just overall first four weeks of the season,

76
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 1: statistically the Patriots were either thirty second or thirty first

77
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 1: defensively from that point on, few as points allowed in

78
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 1: the league. What would you attribute that that turnaround too?

79
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 1: A better playing, better coaching, better execution. Now, when you

80
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 1: guys earlier in the year went to Denver, than to

81
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,479
Speaker 1: four Collins, then to Mexico, you were away from this

82
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 1: facility for for a week. Is that helpful in this case? Now?

83
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 1: Because you have a lot of players that have experienced

84
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl before, but of course a number of

85
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 1: new players that haven't. So is that experienced something that

86
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 1: you can take from maybe a little bit. It's it's

87
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 1: kind of a totally different trip. But um, maybe the

88
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: West Virginia trip is that was a different trip too,

89
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:45,839
Speaker 1: But um, it's probably more like that. Even though we

90
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 1: didn't play in West Virginia, we traveled to Houston. But

91
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 1: you know what, they're all, they're all actually a little

92
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 1: bit different. Um, there's some commonalities in traveling and being

93
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:02,600
Speaker 1: on the road. Um. So, I mean, we've we've played

94
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:04,039
Speaker 1: a lot of football this year. We've been a lot

95
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 1: of different situations. Hopefully each one's a little bit different.

96
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 1: Hopefully we'll be able to adapt to this one and

97
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,040
Speaker 1: have a good week of preparation in Minnesota. You've you've

98
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 1: coached in a Super Bowl with a quarterback who didn't

99
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,039
Speaker 1: start the season as your starting quarterback, who started the

100
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 1: season as your backup. Philadelphia is in the same situation.

101
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 1: When you look at Foles and what he's been able

102
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 1: to accomplish since coming in for Carson Wentz. What are

103
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:28,599
Speaker 1: the strengths of what his game is. He's played really well,

104
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,720
Speaker 1: even in the fourth quarter of the Rams game when

105
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 1: he when he came in there, the decision making, good accuracy,

106
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 1: very good command of the team, plays good situational football.

107
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 1: He's done a good job for him. You've talked about

108
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:45,720
Speaker 1: Philadelphia and it's the West Coast offense. They do any

109
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 1: tweaks on the West Coast office, they do a little

110
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 1: stuff of different or is it pretty much you know

111
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 1: what you've seen over the years. Oh, let's say they've

112
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 1: tweeked it quite a bit. I mean, this is not

113
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 1: really what we saw from Bill Walsh and and San

114
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:05,160
Speaker 1: Francisco back in the eighties. There's there's a lot of shotgun. UM.

115
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 1: They've they've added a lot of UM. Uh, the run

116
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 1: pass option plays, the bubble screens them the run pass

117
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,479
Speaker 1: option on the same play. Uh. Sometimes those plays are

118
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:22,280
Speaker 1: check run or pass. UM. They have a lot of

119
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 1: places where it could be either one, depending on what

120
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,720
Speaker 1: the defense does after the ball snapped. UM. They've got

121
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 1: a good vertical game with Tory Smith and and um Jeffrey.

122
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 1: So those two guys can really get down the field

123
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,360
Speaker 1: and make make plays down the field on the ball,

124
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 1: which UM. Most of the West Coast deep balls who

125
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 1: are as a result of a certain look. So if

126
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 1: you've got a certain coverage, then you would throw the

127
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,719
Speaker 1: ball to the deep guy in the pattern. UM. I

128
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,720
Speaker 1: would say with these two players in particular, they call

129
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:53,919
Speaker 1: some plays they're designed to go to them down the field,

130
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 1: and rightfully so they're good deep field receivers. So yeah,

131
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:00,480
Speaker 1: I'd say this is quite a bit different from UM

132
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 1: the classic West Coast offense, although the roots of it

133
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 1: are the same and fundamentals of crossing pattern and horizontal

134
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 1: spacing and things like that, or that's they're there. The

135
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 1: last time you played Kansas City in the postseasons twenty

136
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 1: fifteen and Doug Peterson was an offensive coordinator, is it

137
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 1: similar to what Kansas said? I'm a different personnel, but

138
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 1: is it similar to what they were doing conceptually? Sure,

139
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 1: there's a lot of carry over there. Yep, there's a

140
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 1: lot of carry over there. UM. One of the differences

141
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 1: in that can be in though, that Doug wasn't calling

142
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 1: the plays, and I think that you can see from

143
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 1: his play calling in Philadelphia over the last two years.

144
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 1: He's a very aggressive style in UM, but a very

145
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 1: sound I mean, he doesn't not reckless, it's it's sound

146
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 1: and calculating, and he puts his players in good positions

147
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 1: and and they're aggressive. So um, again, each play caller

148
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 1: is different. Um, not saying one's good, one bad or

149
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 1: anything else. They're just they're just different. You have to

150
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 1: pair for him differently, and the games are you have

151
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 1: a little different U slant to him based on on

152
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 1: the person calling the plays, what he's trying to set up,

153
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 1: and how he's trying to attack him. Going back to

154
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 1: Nick Foles, do they run the same stuff that they

155
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 1: did with Carson Wentz or did have they had to

156
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 1: make some adjustments there? Oh, that's that's pretty much the

157
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 1: same offense. What about Zach Ertz? What have you seen

158
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 1: from him this year? He's had one of one of

159
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 1: his better years. He's a good football player, Um, big target,

160
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 1: very good hands, a very good route runner. He's a

161
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 1: smart football player. He's very savvy and is a key

162
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 1: player for him. He makes a lot of big plays

163
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 1: for him on third down in the red area, critical

164
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 1: situations two minutes in the game and they need plays.

165
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 1: He's he's a guy you got to stop. If he's open,

166
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 1: you can forget about it. If you cover him then

167
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 1: maybe you can force him to go to another option.

168
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 1: But he's he's a hard guy to match. Up against

169
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 1: because of his size and his experience. Very good route runner,

170
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:00,160
Speaker 1: and he has a good chemistry obviously with falls that

171
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 1: have a lot of confidence in each other, and UM,

172
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 1: a lot of times it looks like the defense has

173
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 1: it covered, but it's the ball gets in there anyway.

174
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 1: So it's tough when you guys play on the road.

175
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 1: Communication for your offense is key anyway. It's a noisy atmosphere.

176
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 1: It would seem that in an indoor stadium in a

177
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:22,679
Speaker 1: super Bowl it might be even louder than which that

178
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 1: than what the norm would be. So communication, I would

179
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 1: think would be even more important for you this week

180
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,839
Speaker 1: than even any other time. Yeah, communication would be key

181
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 1: for our STAYE. I agree with that. Um, We've been

182
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 1: a lot of loud stadiums, so I'm sure this will

183
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,680
Speaker 1: be loud. We've had loud stadiums before. It was loud

184
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh. It's it's loud everywhere. UM. But I think

185
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:45,320
Speaker 1: one thing we're gonna have to be ready for this

186
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:48,439
Speaker 1: week is the crowd noise on both sides of the ball. H.

187
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:52,079
Speaker 1: My experience in these games has been it's just loud, period.

188
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:55,440
Speaker 1: It's loud all the time. UM, So you always have

189
00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:59,320
Speaker 1: since it's not a true home team, it's a neutral

190
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 1: field just kind of have a general high noise level.

191
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 1: And so usually we prepare for our communication issues on

192
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 1: one side of the ball or the other. I think

193
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 1: again like this, you've got to be ready for both.

194
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 1: If it doesn't happen, that it doesn't happen, but you

195
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:17,440
Speaker 1: don't want to be unprepared for it and then find

196
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:21,959
Speaker 1: out that communication is an issue. So well, you know,

197
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 1: we'll be ready to go on all those if as

198
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 1: it is. If it isn't, then that's fine too. We'll

199
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 1: adjust to it. I've just got a couple more for you.

200
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 1: One Gronk practiced. How did he look in practice? To you? M? Yeah,

201
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 1: what was good at them out there? So we'll see

202
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 1: how it goes as the week progresses. And I got

203
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 1: a good one here, a good key performance question of

204
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 1: the week. Since we're going to be seeing the super

205
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:49,320
Speaker 1: Bowl on Sunday, it's your favorite super Bowl memory as

206
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 1: a fan? You didn't have many of those. He's been

207
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 1: in the NFL s it's what nineteen seventy five? So

208
00:10:55,280 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 1: favorite one is a fan and favorite one is a participant. Huh.

209
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 1: That's probably about a seven way tie on the participants

210
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:08,320
Speaker 1: or five way tie anyway. Um, you know the suit

211
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 1: for Super Bowl and oh one was pretty special. Adams

212
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:15,559
Speaker 1: kick that was that was a big moment. Um you

213
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 1: know it was a fan um. I mean name a

214
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 1: Super Bowl win for the Jets. Um, you know, beating

215
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 1: the NFL was a that was a big moment for football. Um.

216
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 1: So I was it was early on Super Bowl three

217
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 1: as a long time ago, but um, that was a

218
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 1: big moment for football. Kind of like the Elanamichi touchdown

219
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 1: was in the Giants Colts uh NFL championship. So there's

220
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:45,080
Speaker 1: some of those games you just kind of let's those

221
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 1: plays stick out. When he said it, Hey we're gonna

222
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 1: beat We're gonna win the game. Do you think this

223
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 1: guy's crazy? I mean it was, hey, we're a huge

224
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 1: underdog and it was the AFL and they weren't really

225
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:58,320
Speaker 1: taken seriously. Did you think, come on, Colts, gotta crush

226
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 1: you guys as feen years old, so I don't know,

227
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 1: I think analysis at that point, but you didn't. Well,

228
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 1: but you would see the NFL and if on TV,

229
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 1: you would see the NFL games, usually at one o'clock.

230
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:15,840
Speaker 1: In the NFL games, usually came on later in the afternoon. Um,

231
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 1: and you just kind of just sort of especially after

232
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:23,199
Speaker 1: the first two Super Bowls of Green Bay was pretty

233
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 1: dominant in those games, it just kind of felt like

234
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 1: the two aren't really on the same level. And then

235
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 1: when they merged, and that was a game that kind

236
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:36,959
Speaker 1: of I think really highlighted how how equal the leagues were. So, um, say,

237
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:41,320
Speaker 1: historically it was a big game. It wasn't one play necessarily,

238
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:44,599
Speaker 1: but um, just as a game, it was. It was

239
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 1: a great game for Pro pro poll. Last one for me.

240
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 1: When did you become aware of Tom Brady's documentary series

241
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 1: that he's doing. Um, I'm not sure. I don't. I

242
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 1: guess whenever it was announced, you know, have any problem

243
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 1: with it? Oh? I mean to look, Tom does a

244
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 1: great job with everything that he does. I'm sure it'll

245
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 1: be should it'll be interesting and entertaining. Congratulations on being

246
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:12,720
Speaker 1: back in the Super Bowl this week in Minneapolis. As
