1
00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:09,920
Speaker 1: February third, two thousand and eight, University Phoenix Stadium, Glendale,

2
00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:13,880
Speaker 1: Eric sober one p. Fifteen left in the fourth quarter.

3
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:18,439
Speaker 1: The New York Giants trail the undefeated New England Patriots

4
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:22,680
Speaker 1: by four. Eli Manning drops back, escapes the pocket, and

5
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 1: heaves one downfield, and he cut it. He didn't cut it.

6
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 1: This is eighteen and one. Hello, Welcome to Games with Names,

7
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 1: presented by win Bet. I'm Julian Edelman and I'm Sam Morrel,

8
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:44,199
Speaker 1: and we're on the search for the greatest games of

9
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 1: all time. Today's episode eighteen wins and one Giant loss.

10
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:53,159
Speaker 1: Super Bowl forty two Pats versus Giants. Today we're going

11
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 1: to be joined not by one, but two very special guests,

12
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 1: Teddy Bruski and Eli Manning. It's a tough one for

13
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 1: the Patriot Nation that day. You weren't there yet, but

14
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 1: it wasn't there. Still stings a little. It's David versus Goliath.

15
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 1: This team was undefeated. My gut reaction as a New

16
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 1: York sports fan is this is as good as it gets.

17
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 1: I mean, we're beating Boston, who is always going to

18
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 1: be the rival, and then this is one of the

19
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 1: greatest teams ever assembled. I mean, this is an eighteen

20
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 1: and zero team, Brady Moss, Welker, Dante Stalwarth, that offense

21
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 1: was crazy. Brady's the MVP. On top of it, so

22
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 1: beating the Goat in the super Bowl when they're undefeated.

23
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,319
Speaker 1: No one picked the Giants to win. Yeah, you know,

24
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 1: no one really did it. And it proves to you.

25
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 1: Any given Sunday in the National Football League is a

26
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 1: real deal, holy field thing, and it's pretty impressive. My

27
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 1: first impressions are I remember as a kid, I was

28
00:01:55,880 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 1: in college. Then Giants sneak into the playoffs. But they

29
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 1: had this, they had this chemistry, they had this formula.

30
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 1: They came on late, they came on late and like

31
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 1: they were playing their best football at the end. They

32
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,080
Speaker 1: did it the absolute hardest way you can do it.

33
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 1: They had like a win and get in game to

34
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 1: get in the playoffs. They get into the wild card,

35
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 1: go on the road on every I think it was

36
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 1: they were on the road every game. Right, they came

37
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 1: to look good. I remember Jeremy Shockey went down and

38
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 1: that was a real bummer because he was looking awesome

39
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 1: for us. But I remember week whatever week we played

40
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:35,639
Speaker 1: the Patriots in the regular seasons late late in the season.

41
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 1: It was late, and I remember the Giants lost, but

42
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:39,959
Speaker 1: they barely lost. It was one of those fights where

43
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 1: I was like, damn, the Giants are good. I didn't

44
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:45,239
Speaker 1: realize how good they were until that game. And that's

45
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 1: one of those games where as a as a player,

46
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 1: especially if you have the immense amount of pressure that

47
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:53,919
Speaker 1: the Patriots were going through that whole year, because it

48
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 1: gets tough. You know, they were going for it. They

49
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,239
Speaker 1: were in the whole humble pie and thing, humble pie

50
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 1: bull thing that they had going But to play a

51
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:05,799
Speaker 1: team that you could eventually maybe see again that played

52
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 1: your really tough. I was thinking about that. That's why

53
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:10,360
Speaker 1: I thought we had a chance going in and and

54
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,360
Speaker 1: we we got jack what's ub jackie U. That was

55
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 1: week seventeen. Wow, Atriots escaped thirty eight thirty five in

56
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 1: New York. But the Giants fought. That was I remember

57
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 1: being like, we could we could beat the Jabbar Gaffney

58
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:27,119
Speaker 1: on the deep return. Remember that was it that game

59
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 1: or was that the Baltimore game? But regardless, this was

60
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 1: also the game Randy set and the TV record for

61
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: most in a single season twenty three. He was he

62
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 1: was a phenom that Randy Moss was one of the

63
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 1: coolest teammates to have. I mean, he was just you

64
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 1: saw all the crazy things he did in the game,

65
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 1: but in practice he was doing even crazier things like

66
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 1: Rainy Moss and his what kind of stuff? Give it?

67
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 1: Give us a taste. We just have these like nonchalant

68
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 1: one handed catchers with the guy like balling them and

69
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 1: stuff like one hand catch, toe tap sideline. You can't

70
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 1: do that in the game for the Patriots or Belichick

71
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 1: would if you miss one of those. When you're Randy Moss,

72
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 1: you could do what you want, all right. You know,

73
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 1: he's that that caliber of a player. But the best

74
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 1: thing about Randy was coming in on Saturday and hearing

75
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:19,040
Speaker 1: about him watching sixty Minutes on Friday and hearing him

76
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 1: break down, you know, murders and all these things that

77
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 1: anything that happened on sixty minutes, you know Randy would have.

78
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,840
Speaker 1: He's so country. He's got that eight edel nutt. You

79
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 1: watch that sixty minutes. I'm like, no, Randy, I didn't.

80
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 1: He goes, well, this motherfucker tried to kill his wife

81
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 1: to get the shit like That's how he would talk

82
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:40,479
Speaker 1: and like we would have to stop the meeting, the

83
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 1: receiver meeting, and Randy would get in there and like,

84
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 1: I remember, Chatty, o'sha, he's our coach. He was a

85
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 1: first time coach at the Patriots that year, and he

86
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,239
Speaker 1: would sit there and you could just see him shaking

87
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,599
Speaker 1: his head like, Randy, we gotta gotta, we gotta coach something.

88
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 1: He's like, hey, wait up, Chatty, how I got this shit.

89
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 1: I love the ideas of you guys coming in unprepared

90
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 1: because Randy Moss breaking down like a forensic files or something.

91
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 1: He's like, he's like, sorry, guys, we got it. We

92
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 1: got to talk about this. That's how it was. But

93
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:10,599
Speaker 1: he was awesome teammate man, and it sucks that, you know,

94
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 1: they didn't get to finish that off. And it was

95
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 1: I remember another Giants win AFC champion NFC Championship, Giants Vikings.

96
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:20,559
Speaker 1: I was at this game. I was in the last

97
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 1: row of the stadium with my friend and his dad,

98
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 1: and the Giants beat the Vikings forty one to nothing.

99
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 1: Kerry Collins just went the fuck off Carrie Collins. They

100
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,480
Speaker 1: said he was thirsty. Oh yeah, he like Granpa his

101
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 1: old cough medicine. Yeah, let's just say he was an old, thirsty,

102
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 1: old guy. The word in the street is that he

103
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 1: needed a ride to the stadium. So I never heard that,

104
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,480
Speaker 1: but that's coming from you. But let's go back in

105
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:51,160
Speaker 1: February third, two thousand and eight. Number one movie was

106
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 1: Fool's Goal. This Goal. This is back when Matthew McConaughey

107
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:58,720
Speaker 1: was not cool. I thought he was cool. He was cool,

108
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 1: but he's got how much cool to get? When he

109
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 1: was in like Wolf of Wall Street and True Detective

110
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:04,280
Speaker 1: and he was on like a ten year run of

111
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 1: like shitty rom coms. I like rom coms though they're

112
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 1: they're pretty. I mean, you were a how to Lose

113
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 1: a Guy in ten Days? I mean was that was

114
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 1: that was a Heath Letcher or something or no, that

115
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 1: was McConaughey again another one. Yeah, I don't they're all

116
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,280
Speaker 1: they're all lumped in the same. But you know it's

117
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,720
Speaker 1: it's always how you know they're not good. You would

118
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 1: never say a Godfather. It's lumped in with all the

119
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 1: other shit. You know, No, they are right, it serves

120
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 1: a purpose, but these aren't good. There's good rom coms,

121
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 1: good day movies, good date movies. Sam, I know you

122

123
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 1: little of those rom coms, Julian, you could get laid.

124
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 1: If you took a woman to see Saw, you could

125
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 1: be like you have that kind of game I've seen.

126
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 1: Oh it's absolutely not. But the number one song in

127
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 1: America that I appreciate, the RYA reference thank You, was

Speaker 1: I don't know if you've seen the n y U

140
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 1: sporting teams. I could have probably walked on that basketball

143
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 1: what were some ridiculous trends of two thousand and eight.

144
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 1: Ugg boots. I will say this. I never were the boots,

Speaker 1: the year I did with Tom. Tom joined in twenty ten.

148
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 1: Obviously it was all over Boston. There was like an

00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 1: UGGS billboard. He was doing it. I think he said

157
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,520

158
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 1: of It's kind of like linebackers. I remember we had

159
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 1: a linebacker come in. I won't say no name. He's

160
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 1: a good friend of mine, but it was his first

161
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:50,320
Speaker 1: day as a Patriot and I had to go across

162
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 1: the middle and I jacked him up, and Coach got

163
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 1: mad at me because you're not supposed to hit really

164
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:58,079
Speaker 1: in practice, and like I thought it was kind of

165
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 1: a soft play on his on his behalf, and so

166
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 1: Bill started yelling me, and I remember yelling back, It's like,

167
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 1: I want a fucking linebacker that eats a steak with

168
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 1: his fucking hands, not with the forking knife. Bill, And

169
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:13,680
Speaker 1: like everyone was like, what is he talking about? What

Speaker 1: think we're talking about like rock stars, rockstars. That's what

174
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 1: it was. Like. You want your rockstars a little crazy.

Speaker 1: he like method acting that one? That's the that's the rumor.

195
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:19,400

Speaker 1: was a it was a it was a lethal cocktail.

201
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 1: I mean, it is tough. When you give that to

202
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 1: a performance and you die, and then Jared Leto shows

00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 1: That's he raised the bar that high. He raised it

206
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 1: that high. That's that's the kind of guy Heath Letcher was.

207
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 1: Tom Petty played the Super Bowl halftime. It was amazing.

208
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:55,240

213
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:10,680
Speaker 1: This is a personal effect. My dad will not listen

214
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 1: to any band that played the halftime show of a

215

217
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 1: is the Chili Peppers. That's a great band. Not to

218
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 1: lead you lost out? It's too bad. It wasn't like,

Speaker 1: you know, Lady Gaga or something that you not. She's great,

220
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 1: but probably not your dad's cup of tea. I would

221
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 1: guess no. So now, Anthony Keatis and Flee, you remind

222
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:37,840
Speaker 1: my dad of Eli Manning. Wow. I can't listen to

224
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 1: prostitution story broke in March two thousand and eight. That

225
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:49,559
Speaker 1: was that was huge in New York. The governor succeeded

226
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 1: luckily by a gentleman named Andrew Cuomo. Hey, who never

227
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 1: did anything wrong ever? Do you think I think we're like, dude,

228
00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,000

Speaker 1: to sleep with your co wor just bang horrors like

230
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 1: a gentleman like Elliott Spitzer. Not when you're married. That

231
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 1: was That was the beginning of those awful politicians step

232
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 1: down speeches where the wife is just standing there. I'm like,

233
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 1: don't make her stand through it. This is brutal. Didn't

234
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:18,600
Speaker 1: they ban or didn't prostitution become legal in New York?

235
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 1: Now though I'm not the guy to ask Julianna, I'm

236
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 1: on Ryan now. Oh sorry, Hey, you know he's a right,

238
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 1: February twenty eight, what do we have? Well, lots of stuff.

239
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 1: First off, the the Utah Valley lost seventy six to fifty,

240
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 1: completing an zero to twenty nine season. A defeat season.

241
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 1: A defeat season. Yeah, like they just got defeated every week.

242
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:50,560
Speaker 1: That's rough that, you know what. I feel bad for

243
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:53,200
Speaker 1: those young kids. That's almost as hard to do as

244
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:57,720
Speaker 1: an undefeated as a college athlete, though, Like they're probably

245
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 1: getting motherfucked at basketball practic this all day. Yeah, then

246
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 1: they got to go to class, then they got to study,

247
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 1: and then they gotta do it again and lose twenty

248
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 1: nine times in one season. Feel bad for those kids.

249
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 1: Hard to have any swag when you're losing that much

250
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:14,719
Speaker 1: and you want to be a swaggy college athlete, that's

251
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:16,960

253

263
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 1: the fires of the scenes of There Will Be Blood.

264
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 1: There was so much smoke that it almost affected the

270
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:08,080
Speaker 1: Javier Bardem's so scary in that man, he really was.

271
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,560
Speaker 1: That's not the awkward scary. That's like the scary like

272
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 1: you see down the subway and you like see someone

273
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 1: with that kind of look and you're just like, I'm

274
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:18,440
Speaker 1: watching him the whole time. Oh dude, I got I

275
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 1: got my mace ready, It's about to go down. I

276
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 1: mean I remember staying in shitty motels doing comedy and

277
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 1: thinking like someone's gonna break in with an air gun

278
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 1: and shoot me in the head. That was the effect

279
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 1: Javier Bardem had on me in that movie. Now with

280
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 1: the air gun. Yeah, for like the forensic is it

281
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 1: harder to find out from an was it an it

282
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 1: was an air gun? Nail? Or when do we call

283
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 1: Randy Moss? He would know he would definitely know. Randy

284
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 1: would know this. See that's the kind of that's kind

285
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 1: of guy Randy was. I do like true Do you

286
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 1: like true crime too? Sometimes it gives you anxiety, like

287
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 1: I feel so bad for people that make those decisions

288
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 1: that have to go down that road, Like damn, thank god.

289
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 1: I don't have that mindset, you know what I mean,

290
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 1: because it's fucked up on all parts, the people that murder,

291
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 1: the people that get murdered, and then everyone involved who's

292
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 1: a part of those families. Yeah, you know. So it's

293
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 1: like it's a fucked up thing. I watch a lot

294
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 1: of it, and I will I will. I mean, like

295
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 1: the Jenks staircase, the ones that give you some closure.

296
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 1: Zodiac Zodiac is that San Francisco. That's hometown, hero hometown.

297
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 1: My mom was a hero. I should have said that,

298
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 1: probably you're canceled. Oh this anti canceled Packers. Let's get

299
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 1: into these teams, Sam, I'll let you go with your

300
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 1: New York Football Giants first, of course ten and six,

301
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 1: second in the NFC East. But they had playoff wins

302
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 1: over Tampa. I remember that game. I really remember Dallas

303
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 1: because they had Romo. I believe that was a good Dallas.

304
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 1: Is that the was that the flub snap Romo game was?

305
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 1: It might have been. I don't think it was. Actually,

306
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 1: I don't think so that was not. It was not

307
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 1: Green Bay. That was the game. I mean, Brett Favre

308
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 1: was still there. I remember it being freezing that game.

309
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 1: And I remember I met a Moni tumor once and

310
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 1: I said, is it true that you guys put uh,

311
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 1: you know, chili chili flakes in your socks and let

312
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 1: it absorb in your socks? And he goes, no, who

313
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:10,400
Speaker 1: told you that? I was like, I don't know, I've

314
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 1: never probably some message boards, I've never heard that in

315
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 1: my life. I know, I don't know why I even said.

316
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 1: I felt so stupid. He was like, what are you

317
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 1: an idiot? I was like, sorry, not just so for

318
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 1: next time you talk to like a like a childhood

319
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 1: like you know, one of your fans or your one

320
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 1: of your heroes, don't ever ask a question like that.

321
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 1: I know I fucked up. I feel terrible, all right,

322
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 1: No it's not alright, it's I mean, I feel amani.

323
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 1: You were a great guy, and I'm sorry. This was

324
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 1: a fourth season under Tom Coughlin, who grew I didn't

325
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 1: like him at first. He really grew on me. He

326
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 1: almost got fired this year. Yeah, he was almost getting

327
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 1: fired every year. He helped Tiki barbera to learn to

328
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 1: stop fumbling, which I made me like him a lot

329
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 1: and tight. He also, you know, he aged so much

330
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 1: throughout Giants coach. He went from like Tom Coughlin Emperor

331
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 1: Palpatine over Now, how red did he get when it

332
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 1: was cold? It was the reddest face. He looked like

333
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 1: his face was melting off. I kind of I found

334
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 1: it charming. Actually the Giants, the Giants were We were good, dude.

335
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 1: We had nothing to do. I cheered a lot though

336
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 1: you were part of it. You know, you were part

337
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:10,639
Speaker 1: of it. They were. They were very good. They have

338
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 1: on there. We had a loaded team offense. We had,

339
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 1: you know, obviously the modern day thunder and lightning of

340
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:21,480
Speaker 1: Amad Bradshawn Brandon Jacobs and amazing receivers and plaques before

341
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 1: he shot himself that we really missed him after that,

342
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:27,360
Speaker 1: uh and a honey tomor that's that's really the worst nightmare,

343
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:29,400
Speaker 1: Like when you're a fan of a player and you're like,

344
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 1: what happened? He shot himself and you're like is he okay?

345
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:34,680
Speaker 1: Like yeh, he shut himself in the leg and then

346
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:37,720
Speaker 1: he got he had arrested because the gun laws. Yeah,

347
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:40,919
Speaker 1: he wasn't registered. It wasn't like, all right, you shot yourself,

348
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 1: here's a band aid, go home. It was like, all right,

349
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:45,160
Speaker 1: now you got prison time. Here's what happened. He watched

350
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 1: a lot of Dateline and he was trying to have

351
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:49,399
Speaker 1: a gun on him for protection and it went off.

352
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:52,680
Speaker 1: That's my theory. Plaques, you're a great guy. You were

353
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl champ. I'll say this too. I was

354
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:57,600
Speaker 1: at the game, the nixt game a week and a

355
00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 1: half before the Super Bowl with my sister her and

356
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 1: as we're sitting at the game, Plax comes on the

357
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 1: big screen, points to his ring finger. The garden explodes.

358
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:09,879
Speaker 1: It was one of those things where my sister's a

359
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 1: big Giants fan. And afterwards she's like, I think I

360
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:14,720
Speaker 1: need my first jersey to be Plaques. She had gotten

361
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:16,919
Speaker 1: me an Eli jersey. We went to Model's got her

362
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:20,720
Speaker 1: Aplax jersey. It was set that the Giants would win.

363
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 1: In that moment. Defense we had Strahan Ocu Manora talk

364
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:29,360
Speaker 1: Antonio Pierce. That was a loaded d too. I mean

365
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 1: that defense was stout. I mean the defensive line had girth, thick,

366
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 1: rock hard, very very good. And that was like After

367
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,240
Speaker 1: that game, everyone was like, is that the blueprint to

368
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 1: stop Brady. Just get pressure upside in the middle of

369
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:49,120
Speaker 1: the pocket. I mean, when you have those four guys

370
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 1: that were playing defensive line for the Giants, I mean,

371
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 1: I don't think I don't think every team can shadow that.

372
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 1: But let's get over to the New England Patriots. Obviously,

373
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:04,399
Speaker 1: they were sixteen and oh during the regular season, going

374
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:09,119
Speaker 1: for nineteen and oher in the Super Bowl first NAFC.

375
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:12,359
Speaker 1: Brady set a record with fifty touchdowns, Randy set a

376
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 1: record with twenty three touchdowns. There was also, you know,

377
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:19,399
Speaker 1: no one really remembers with the spyg eight thing. I

378
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 1: don't know, it was something it's a big deal. Yeah,

379
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 1: you know, it's pretty pretty big. Yeah. I mean, who

380
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 1: wasn't recording each other? I mean that's what was what.

381
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 1: Clearly they weren't recording the Giants. They clearly did not

382
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 1: record the Giants on this one. But I don't know.

383
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 1: It was something like that gave him a little motivation,

384
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:40,879
Speaker 1: not enough. Clearly the offense additions this year, they had

385
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:46,120
Speaker 1: Dante Stalworth coming in had big plays before Philly Philly. Yeah,

386
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:49,240
Speaker 1: he was in Philly. Wes Welker from a division opponent,

387
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:54,439
Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins stud and Randy Moss one of the

388
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:59,479
Speaker 1: best receiving three ever. It was a very good receiver.

389
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:01,359
Speaker 1: Cor He had a Jabar Gafney that a lot of

390
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:04,879
Speaker 1: people forget. Was an unbelievable, unbelievable route runner and a

391
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 1: great four receiver. They traded a fourth round draft pick.

392
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:12,920
Speaker 1: How did that happen? Because remember that was when I

393
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 1: don't think Randy was like as motivated there, remember, but

394
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:18,879
Speaker 1: still it's still Randy Moss. I mean the Raiders, you know,

395
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:21,880
Speaker 1: at that time it was a little tough to play there,

396
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 1: I think. Yeah, Welker led the league when Gruden was there.

397
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 1: He never made a mistake ever. Yeah, you know, Welker

398
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 1: led the league in receptions along with TJ. Who's Yamama

399
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:35,960
Speaker 1: hoos Minzada who always has something great to say about me?

400
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:39,680
Speaker 1: Come on, TJ, we used to work out together. Why

401
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 1: do you always have just throw shade all the time?

402
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 1: We get it, Bro, You had a lot of catches.

403
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 1: Randy Moss, like we said, caught twenty three in the

404
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:55,159
Speaker 1: regular season. Tuggies set in a record the game. The

405
00:20:55,240 --> 00:21:00,040
Speaker 1: Giants came into this game a twelve point underdog. That

406
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 1: makes sense at the time going in. It did make sense.

407
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:07,399
Speaker 1: But then Giants became the first NFC wild card to

408
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:10,400
Speaker 1: ever win a Super Bowl. That's people don't realize how

409
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 1: hard that is. Yeah, you gotta go win three games

410
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:14,920
Speaker 1: just to get to the bull, all on the road,

411
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 1: all on the road. Yeah, they were tend to know

412
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 1: with their last road games, they were on fire. You know,

413
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:21,640
Speaker 1: we talked about it. But sometimes when the team comes

414
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 1: together just at the right time, their confidence is off

415
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:26,920
Speaker 1: the charts. And I'm sure being twelve point underdogs like

416
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:29,399
Speaker 1: they're looking at that like, oh we're not. We almost

417
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:32,600
Speaker 1: beat you in week seventeen, that definitely fueled their fire

418
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 1: for sure. I mean, it's not always the best football

419
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 1: team that wins. It's the team that plays the best

420
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 1: that wins. Sam, You'll learn that as this podcast goes on,

421
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 1: as we go over these important games. It's good to

422
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:47,240
Speaker 1: know the team that outplays the other team usually is

423
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 1: a better shot, always has a better shot. Yeah, what

424
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 1: do we remember for this game? The helmet catch is

425
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:56,639
Speaker 1: the iconic the David Tyree getting with Rodney Harris and

426
00:21:56,640 --> 00:22:00,080
Speaker 1: your boy all over him. Yeah, that was epic. That

427
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 1: was crazy. That was two separate insane plays and one

428
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 1: that was eli breaking free. He was I thought he

429
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:10,160
Speaker 1: was down though he was. He was dancing, he was twirling,

430
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:15,200
Speaker 1: he was holding. Was there a holding call? No one holds,

431
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 1: Just let him play. I mean Sante Samuel dropped that pick.

432
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:22,639
Speaker 1: The game a lot of close calls. There was a

433
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:25,160
Speaker 1: lot of couple There was another pick, almost a drop pick.

434
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:29,120
Speaker 1: Who's the other one? That was Randall Gay. Randall Gay

435
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 1: had a drop like an attempt to almost pick it.

436
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:35,119
Speaker 1: There the Pats had their shot. That's not what you

437
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:36,880
Speaker 1: want to say at the end of a game where

438
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 1: you're a player and you say, man, if I would

439
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 1: have made that play, that's something that like will always

440
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 1: haunt you. Yeah, I mean insane finish the final Brady drive.

441
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:49,879
Speaker 1: I was kind of like, of course, of course Brady

442
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:52,119
Speaker 1: does the drive. It was such a defensive game. I

443
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:54,240
Speaker 1: didn't think Eli was going to be able to charge

444
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 1: downfield the way he did. And I mean, look, they

445
00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:59,879
Speaker 1: played Grade D. They just didn't make the big plays.

446
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 1: People want to talk about Eli. Oh this ah that

447
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:05,399
Speaker 1: I tell you right now that man has played some

448
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 1: of his best football in the biggest games he's ever played.

449
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:12,440
Speaker 1: I'm a huge Eli fan. I can't wait to interview

450
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:16,640
Speaker 1: him because he's so ecstatic when it comes to his personality.

451
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:18,879
Speaker 1: We're going to get into that things we may have

452
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 1: forgotten in this game. It started with the longest drive

453
00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:27,640
Speaker 1: in Super Bowl history, eighteen plays, sixty three yards, nine

454
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:30,400
Speaker 1: minutes and fifty nine seconds, ended in a field goal.

455
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:35,679
Speaker 1: This was Strahan's final game with the Giants, which I

456
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:38,879
Speaker 1: mean that was an epic career. All I remember is

457
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 1: Coach Belichick were red hoodie. Never seen him wear a

458
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:44,479
Speaker 1: red hoodie. Not a good idea. He got cocky. He

459
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:46,119
Speaker 1: I don't know what he said. I don't know if

460
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:48,400
Speaker 1: he got what do you got, Jackie? I was sixteen

461
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 1: plays on the first drive and then a little rundown

462
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:54,240
Speaker 1: on Bill and red hoodies. He is three for three

463
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 1: all time when rocking the red hoodie, oh for one,

464
00:23:57,320 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 1: most notably in the Super Bowl, thirty eight games in

465
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 1: a grace leaveless cutoff with a record of twenty nine

466
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:05,679
Speaker 1: and nine. I'm gonna have to get back to that

467
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:07,159
Speaker 1: red I don't know if we'll ever get back to

468
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:09,719
Speaker 1: it though. This one, this one, this one hurts, This

469
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 1: one hurts. Before we get to the Gaming Corner, presented

472
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:24,119
Speaker 1: Man Teddy Bruski was so good, a heartbeat of the

473
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:29,399
Speaker 1: New England Patriots during those early dynasty years, part of

474
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 1: the old regime that turned into the Bill Belichick regime.

475
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:34,720
Speaker 1: I mean, he's just seen a lot. He's been through

476
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:39,159
Speaker 1: a lot. He's seen now in the TV world, his

477
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 1: team go on and do great things like he's mister Patriot.

478

Speaker 1: All right, let's hear from Teddy and Sam. We're here

479
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:52,200
Speaker 1: and we're joined with the Man, the Myth, the Legend.

480
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:58,879
Speaker 1: Teddy Bruski, older brother of mine. Three time Super Bowl champ,

481
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:04,520
Speaker 1: led the NCAA at defensive line. Did I tell you

482
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 1: that at the University of Arizona in Sacks, Arizona Legend,

483
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:15,040
Speaker 1: Arizona Legend. Yeah, proves his versatility by changing from the

484
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 1: defensive line to being becoming one of the smartest middle linebackers.

485
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:23,879
Speaker 1: We've all seen the legendary plays in the Snow the

486
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 1: Snow Game where he does the Snow Angel with the

487
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 1: pick six. We've all seen it all. We see him

488
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:33,199
Speaker 1: on ESPN looking handsome as ever, I mean very handsome.

489
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:38,360
Speaker 1: That's up guys's two California kids who are three time

490
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:41,560
Speaker 1: Patriot champions just on separate ends right here. That's right.

491
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:45,480
Speaker 1: We sort of got them all represented here. And uh, Jill,

492
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:47,840
Speaker 1: that's always great talking to you, buddy. I mean we've

493
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:51,959
Speaker 1: developed a great, great relationship over the years. Man, I'm

494
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:54,640
Speaker 1: glad we be talking to eight. I appreciate you coming on,

495
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:59,439
Speaker 1: Teddy and uh, we have to get it off right away.

496
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:03,920
Speaker 1: The kind of legend that Teddy is. So I'm a

497
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:08,680
Speaker 1: rookie and the first first time I get in the building,

498
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 1: what they do in the in the Patriots building is

499
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 1: they test you. So they have all the stars and

500
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:17,480
Speaker 1: all these big play moments in the team room, and

501
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:19,280
Speaker 1: they always have to add the Bill will get up

502
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:22,440
Speaker 1: there and ask you who's this, Who's that, who's this?

503
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 1: Oh that's Logan Makings, Oh that's Russ you know that's

504
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 1: oh that's Teddy Bruski. And so we get there, so

505
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:31,119
Speaker 1: you're already you're automatically they build this huge picture for

506
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:34,520
Speaker 1: there's like there's like five Patriots that were on the

507
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 1: team that were like part of this huge dynasty that

508
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:40,399
Speaker 1: was like the best franchise going into the before they

509
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:42,639
Speaker 1: won the six seven or whatever, four or five six,

510
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:46,920
Speaker 1: and Teddy was there, and he was just this guy

511
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 1: that it was like surreal to have in there. So

512
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 1: the first time I interact with Teddy, I see him

513
00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:55,280
Speaker 1: in the training room. I think he was reading a

514
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:57,919
Speaker 1: book and he was getting like he had like two

515
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 1: trainers working on him. And and we go out for

516
00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:05,240
Speaker 1: a special teams period and we line up against each

517
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:07,040
Speaker 1: other and I had to do this stab thing on

518
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:10,520
Speaker 1: him and we go down, they blow the whistle and

519
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:13,639
Speaker 1: I stab them and I touch them, and Teddy, with

520
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:15,639
Speaker 1: the intensity I told you about, looks at me and

521
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:17,879
Speaker 1: he says, hey, rookie, don't you ever fucking touch me again?

522
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:23,720
Speaker 1: And then so I had to go with him the

523
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:26,560
Speaker 1: next time. So the very next time I had to

524
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:29,040
Speaker 1: stab the air. I was stabbing the air because I

525
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:31,359
Speaker 1: had to show the coaches I knew the technique. I

526
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 1: had to show them that I was taking in the

527
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 1: classroom work. So I'm sitting there with Teddy trying to

528
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:39,960
Speaker 1: stab the air. But it was fucking nuts. And that's

529
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:42,920
Speaker 1: the intensity. Because when we entered this podcast right away,

530
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:45,159
Speaker 1: you could see Teddy get the eye oh and he

531
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 1: sneered at me. Pre taping We're in an Eli Manning jersey.

532
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:50,840
Speaker 1: I'm like, this is the eighteen and one I got.

533
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 1: I got to show out. Yeah, I knew we were

534
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:56,439
Speaker 1: going to discuss that season, and I guess I'm already

535
00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:59,240
Speaker 1: just a little irritated knowing it's coming. But you know,

536
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:02,479
Speaker 1: it's a Over the years, I've come to accept that season.

537
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 1: But Jules, that story you're talking about, like we've had

538
00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:08,879
Speaker 1: this conversation, how that it was full circle for me

539
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 1: because when I was a rookie in almost the same situation.

540
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:15,160
Speaker 1: It wasn't special teams, but it was offense and deepense.

541
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:16,960
Speaker 1: We used to have a tight end by the name

542
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 1: of Ben Coates and he was a great tight end,

543
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:21,520
Speaker 1: and I was a rookie trying to do the same

544
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 1: thing on him, trying to put my hands on him

545
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:26,320
Speaker 1: because that's what your coach to do and all that.

546
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:29,880
Speaker 1: And the line from Ben to me was as we're

547
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:33,680
Speaker 1: walking back in between reps after that rep, he said, Hey, rookie,

548
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 1: you ever touched me again like that, I'll break your

549
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 1: fucking arm. And I looked at him like, I said,

550
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:42,680
Speaker 1: I guess this is what it is now. So I

551
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:45,240
Speaker 1: knew never to touch Ben Coats like that again. So

552
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 1: I gave you a little bit of the Ben Coachs

553
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:49,680
Speaker 1: treatment there, and you said, someday that'll be me talking

554
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 1: to a younger person. But about that about twelve years later,

555
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:57,280
Speaker 1: twelve twelve, thirteen years later. Yeah, And the crazy thing

556
00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:01,720
Speaker 1: is though it wasn't being an asshole anything. He was

557
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 1: just the vet, you know, he was. He was getting

558
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:07,040
Speaker 1: his work and he was doing his technology. And that's

559
00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:09,720
Speaker 1: just how it is. It's changed now, Teddy, nowadays is

560
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 1: it's changed. You can't even call it a rookie a

561
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:14,200
Speaker 1: rookie anymore. You got to call him the R word

562
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 1: because you know that they're all, you know, entitled. And

563
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:19,600
Speaker 1: what do you think about this new generation? Do you

564
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:22,120
Speaker 1: think you could be a veteran player in this year,

565
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:24,680
Speaker 1: this day and age, with how these guys are going,

566
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 1: You know, I sense the transition. I think eight nine

567
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 1: was my last training camp of how it was getting

568
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:36,720
Speaker 1: to be. And I still think it's doable. I don't

569
00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:39,960
Speaker 1: think you can be the old school, get off my

570
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 1: lawn type of old man type of this is the

571
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 1: way it is, you respect me. It's much different now

572
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:49,320
Speaker 1: to where it's almost you have to earn their respect

573
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 1: first and then you can give them the hard love

574
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 1: after that. But if you show them right off the

575
00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 1: bat that you're going to be an asshole and this

576
00:29:57,040 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 1: is the way it's going to be rookie and all

577
00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:01,920
Speaker 1: this and all that get they may go into their

578
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:04,280
Speaker 1: shell a little bit. So it's a little bit different

579
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:07,560
Speaker 1: dealing with today's athlete. I like to think I could

580
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:10,200
Speaker 1: adapt and still find a way to to you know,

581
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 1: if you've got to established trust first, that's fine, that's

582
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 1: just the way it is. But once it gets to

583
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:19,760
Speaker 1: the point where games are now coming, it's not OTA's,

584
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:22,840
Speaker 1: it's not MENI Camp, it's no preseason anymore. Man, it's serious.

585
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:26,160
Speaker 1: Hopefully you've developed that relationship now where you can you

586
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 1: can have sort of those serious conversations. But definitely it's

587
00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:32,800
Speaker 1: sort of backwards now than it was before to where

588
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:35,880
Speaker 1: you earn in respect rather than respect should be given.

589
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 1: So that's the main transition that veteran players have to

590
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 1: deal with. And that's that's a leader type answer right there.

591
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 1: And it's crazy because when I got in the locker room,

592
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:50,000
Speaker 1: he was probably thinking of us the same way we

593
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:53,080
Speaker 1: think and vice versa. That's just the older guy who

594
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:55,280
Speaker 1: becomes wise if you play in the league while you

595
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:58,920
Speaker 1: kind of you see things. But we do have to

596
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 1: talk about this two thousand and seven season, eighteen to one. Now,

597
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 1: let's let's put a little context into this. This was

598
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:10,200
Speaker 1: the year after they go to the two thousand and

599
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:12,840
Speaker 1: six AFC Championship. They're up what twenty one to three

600
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:16,360
Speaker 1: at halftime? Yeah, twenty one three against the Colts. Peyton

601
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:19,800
Speaker 1: Manning and the Colts. They owned the Colts throughout Peyton

602
00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:24,080
Speaker 1: Manning's career. They can never Peyton could never beat the Patriots.

603
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:26,960
Speaker 1: They go into the Dome, it's a little different circumstance.

604
00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 1: They come back, they had a great year, They lose

605
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:32,360
Speaker 1: that game, then they go on. They signed Wes Welker,

606
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:36,680
Speaker 1: they signed Randy Moss now after that year, and I

607
00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:39,440
Speaker 1: know how a losing season is in New England, how

608
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:41,640
Speaker 1: shitty of an offseason because you have it in the

609
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 1: back of your throat all year and you have to

610
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:46,120
Speaker 1: see all the clips and all the bullshit. What's the

611
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:50,080
Speaker 1: mindset going in after you have some of these key additions,

612
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:53,680
Speaker 1: the shitty loss after you know the year before, like

613
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:56,800
Speaker 1: did you you guys definitely felt something was special was coming.

614
00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:58,480
Speaker 1: But what was the mindset because you were one of

615
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:01,640
Speaker 1: the big leaders you you know mcginny or everyone, you know,

616
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:03,760
Speaker 1: all the all the big guys. Yeah, it was. It was,

617
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:08,800
Speaker 1: you know, not until that Week one opening win versus

618
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:10,959
Speaker 1: the Jets that you know, you sort of had an

619
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:14,920
Speaker 1: eye opening of holy smoke. I mean Randy Moss, you know,

620
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:17,719
Speaker 1: because Moss had a little bit of a tweak of

621
00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 1: his hamstring when he got there, you know seven, So

622
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:23,200
Speaker 1: you didn't get to see a lot in training camp.

623
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:26,240
Speaker 1: So as the Week one opener started to come, he

624
00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:28,040
Speaker 1: started to come back a little bit and give you

625
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:31,240
Speaker 1: a little tastes, but it just he just exploded. In

626
00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:35,160
Speaker 1: the Week one matchup, everyone remembers the old the deep

627
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:37,840
Speaker 1: over where Calm just threw it all the way to

628
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 1: the left side, where he outran the safety in the corner,

629
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:42,440
Speaker 1: to the to the pylon on the left side, the

630
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:46,240
Speaker 1: offensive left side, and that's when we on the defensive

631
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:48,080
Speaker 1: side of the ball are looking around on the bench

632
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:52,760
Speaker 1: like we got something here. So after that, seeing him

633
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:55,440
Speaker 1: in combination with Welker, after that game, that's when we

634
00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:58,400
Speaker 1: really we really knew that our offense could be explosive,

635
00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:01,920
Speaker 1: which is very different than what it used to be

636
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:05,840
Speaker 1: in similar championship years of one to three and O four.

637
00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:09,480
Speaker 1: You know, Brady was coming into his own special teams

638
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:12,680
Speaker 1: in defense with the theme and then of course Brady,

639
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:16,720
Speaker 1: this is when you got the full I guess quote

640
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:20,760
Speaker 1: unquote Tom Brady coming in the seven season where I

641
00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:22,840
Speaker 1: mean you saw taste seven and oh four, but in

642
00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:26,400
Speaker 1: seven it was like the sky can't be stopped. I mean,

643
00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:29,440
Speaker 1: you started, you saw the transition from Tom really becoming

644
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:31,320
Speaker 1: that type of Tom Brady. I mean, what did that

645
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:35,280
Speaker 1: look like? The first time I really noticed that there

646
00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:38,640
Speaker 1: was a different Tom was probably in the Super Bowl

647
00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:44,240
Speaker 1: versus the Carolina Panthers. Now one oh one, Tom was,

648
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:46,880
Speaker 1: you know, just don't turn the ball over, her over,

649
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:48,960
Speaker 1: give it to Kevin Falk, give a little check down,

650
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:51,480
Speaker 1: and you know, just once in a while, break your tendency,

651
00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:53,479
Speaker 1: throw it deep and all that stuff. Let the defense,

652
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:55,720
Speaker 1: running game and special teams do what they do. I

653
00:33:55,720 --> 00:34:00,280
Speaker 1: think Tom was only responsible for two touchdowns in the

654
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:04,360
Speaker 1: entire entire playoffs. He ran for one in the snow

655
00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:08,560
Speaker 1: versus the Raiders, and he threw for one in the

656
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:11,320
Speaker 1: Super Bowl versus Patton. All the others were Drew Bletzo

657
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:14,560
Speaker 1: touchdown special teams in defense. So to see from that

658
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:17,760
Speaker 1: all the way to that Carolina that second half where

659
00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:20,600
Speaker 1: he's making throws left and right because we couldn't stop

660
00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:25,360
Speaker 1: Carolina in the second half because we were gassed. Deloon

661
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:28,000
Speaker 1: had us figured out and Tom Brady just ended up

662
00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:30,759
Speaker 1: picking us up. So that's when you start to see like,

663
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:34,080
Speaker 1: all right, he's ready to just take over the team

664
00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:37,960
Speaker 1: and become MVP type of player, that type of player

665
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:40,839
Speaker 1: all the way to seven when he's throwing I think

666
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:45,160
Speaker 1: fifty touchdown passes and it's just absurd. So to see

667
00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:49,680
Speaker 1: that growth was incredible and then see it continue as

668
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:52,800
Speaker 1: an analyst was just I mean, it just hasn't stopped.

669
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:56,440
Speaker 1: There's got to be some stories of like young tom

670
00:34:56,640 --> 00:35:00,799
Speaker 1: Like we all know the football, the transition, the this that,

671
00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:03,680
Speaker 1: what is the what's the funny shit about Tommy that

672
00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:07,000
Speaker 1: we we don't know? Like you know over what they

673
00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:09,280
Speaker 1: used to have the bar of the rack over in Boston.

674
00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:11,759
Speaker 1: I remember hearing a little I mean, what are the

675
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:15,240
Speaker 1: things that no one knows about old TV? How goofy

676
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:16,960
Speaker 1: he is that? Like I want to hear a young

677
00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:19,279
Speaker 1: Tommy story. I know you got one. Yeah, the no

678
00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:22,480
Speaker 1: I think people just see him. I don't know, you

679
00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:24,960
Speaker 1: use the term celebrity quarterback now and it's it's what

680
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:27,319
Speaker 1: he's we used to turn into and that's that's great

681
00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:29,920
Speaker 1: and everything, But I mean he used to be he

682
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:33,200
Speaker 1: used to really play the little brother role, the little

683
00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:37,879
Speaker 1: irritating little brother role in terms of scout team quarterback

684
00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:41,360
Speaker 1: to always talking about what he can do and always

685
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:45,880
Speaker 1: talking trash during during two minute situations, and we just

686
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:48,960
Speaker 1: laugh at him because also his boys would get so high,

687
00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:53,440
Speaker 1: and it sounded like a eight year old boy just

688
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:57,120
Speaker 1: complaining and also still trying to get the team fired

689
00:35:57,160 --> 00:35:59,480
Speaker 1: up at the same time. It was really comical. And

690
00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:05,240
Speaker 1: that's how it's not the best quarterback ever. Jared Kushner. No,

691
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:09,360
Speaker 1: I mean it's yeah, it's the guys, let's go the

692
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:11,319
Speaker 1: whole voice and all of this. It's like, oh, look

693
00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:13,480
Speaker 1: at Tommy trying to fire up a team. It's so cool.

694
00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:15,439
Speaker 1: You know that that's sort a little bit. That's cute.

695
00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:18,160
Speaker 1: That's cute. Tell me, I still have that sort of

696
00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:20,880
Speaker 1: picture in my mind of him. But I definitely witnessed

697
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:24,600
Speaker 1: a transition, but I still see him. I mean, as

698
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:27,600
Speaker 1: you know that that kid that still came up when

699
00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:30,400
Speaker 1: nobody thought he could. It's crazy because I saw a

700
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:33,560
Speaker 1: completely different version of that. You know, I got in

701
00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:36,759
Speaker 1: and he was thirty four by that time, and I

702
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:40,560
Speaker 1: saw the you know, the developing of the celebrity quarterback.

703
00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:43,719
Speaker 1: And then I became that little annoying brother that used

704
00:36:43,719 --> 00:36:46,920
Speaker 1: to piss him off. So that that's where that transitioned in,

705
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:50,360
Speaker 1: you know what I mean now going into this this game,

706
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:52,680
Speaker 1: you guys, I remember hearing all we heard about was

707
00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:55,480
Speaker 1: humble Pie. When that streak started going, yeah, you know,

708
00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:57,799
Speaker 1: you guys started winning ball games. And it wasn't like

709
00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:00,319
Speaker 1: you guys were beating teams like you know, four team

710
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:03,640
Speaker 1: sixteen or whatever. You guys were blowing the socks off

711
00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:07,719
Speaker 1: people offense, explosive defense, playing like one and turning the

712
00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:11,920
Speaker 1: ball over in opportunistic moments. Like just a overall fucking

713
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:16,000
Speaker 1: great football team. Going into the Super Bowl. You guys,

714
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:19,360
Speaker 1: what was it, twelve and a half points twelve and

715
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:22,799
Speaker 1: a half point favor Yeah, Like, are you going to

716
00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:25,279
Speaker 1: this thing? And I know the mindset that Bill, he's

717
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:27,399
Speaker 1: probably cutting you down the whole week. You guys are

718
00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:30,440
Speaker 1: not this. You guys aren't that. But like, deep down,

719
00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:32,719
Speaker 1: the team and I know the leadership of the team.

720
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:35,640
Speaker 1: But there's gotta be some something that clicked in that,

721
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:37,920
Speaker 1: like we're gonna, we're gonna, We're gonna blow these fools out.

722
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:41,200
Speaker 1: Yeah they got close to us in week seventeen. Yeah. Yeah,

723
00:37:41,239 --> 00:37:43,640
Speaker 1: they're on their cute little run. They got their their

724
00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:46,200
Speaker 1: run game and a really good defense. We're the fucking

725
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:48,080
Speaker 1: oh seven Pats. We're the best team in the history

726
00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:50,520
Speaker 1: of the game. Like that ever seep into your mind,

727
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:57,000
Speaker 1: it was hard not to. I think around week starting

728
00:37:57,040 --> 00:38:00,360
Speaker 1: week fourteen, when we're on the verge of being sixteen

729
00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:02,879
Speaker 1: and oh in the regular season, that's when you really

730
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:06,320
Speaker 1: start to think that we just can't be beat Fellas.

731
00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:09,319
Speaker 1: We just got to finish. And the real pressure was

732
00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:12,160
Speaker 1: getting to the super Bowl, because Fellas, I mean, if

733
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:15,759
Speaker 1: we finished the season sixteen and oh and you lose

734
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:18,480
Speaker 1: in the divisional round or you losing the championship game,

735
00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:20,960
Speaker 1: you're a laughing stock. So you at least got to

736
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:23,520
Speaker 1: get to the super Bowl definitely. So you get there

737
00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:25,680
Speaker 1: and it's like, guys, oh, we gotta do is finish.

738
00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:28,920
Speaker 1: We know this team, we've played them before. We just

739
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:32,239
Speaker 1: got to finish the job and do it again. And

740
00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:35,560
Speaker 1: that was the whole theme of the entire year, why

741
00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:38,200
Speaker 1: Belichick coached us so hard and why we felt like

742
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:41,000
Speaker 1: sometimes we didn't even win a game the entire years

743
00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:45,319
Speaker 1: because he sensed what we could become. He knew that.

744
00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:47,360
Speaker 1: I mean, it was going to be hard for a

745
00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:49,160
Speaker 1: lot of teams to beat us if we played well,

746
00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:52,279
Speaker 1: and we did, and yes, going into that, it was

747
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:55,560
Speaker 1: a tough, hard fought game versus the Giants in week

748
00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:59,440
Speaker 1: seventeen to get the sixteen and oh Mark, but we

749
00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:02,759
Speaker 1: felt going in, you know, it was something that we

750
00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:05,200
Speaker 1: just got to go finish the job. And that's the

751
00:39:05,239 --> 00:39:09,680
Speaker 1: confidence that we had. I mean, I mean I think

752
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:12,280
Speaker 1: about it now what happened, of course, and losing the game,

753
00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:15,799
Speaker 1: But you know, it's just man, I've just been on

754
00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:21,200
Speaker 1: both sides of the spectrum to where you're winning super

755
00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:25,000
Speaker 1: Bowls when nobody expects you to, and then you're you're

756
00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:28,399
Speaker 1: winning super Bowls when everybody expects you to. And now

757
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:30,520
Speaker 1: you're playing the role if everyone thinks you're the best

758
00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:33,040
Speaker 1: that's ever been. So how do you play that role?

759
00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:36,800
Speaker 1: The target? Yeah, I couldn't get it done. The target

760
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:39,040
Speaker 1: on the back. That's what people don't realize. I mean,

761
00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:41,759
Speaker 1: we see that with the Kansas City Chiefs nowadays and

762
00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:43,480
Speaker 1: all these teams that they go out and they win

763
00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:46,160
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl and they have these unbelievable teams. But

764
00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:49,360
Speaker 1: it's it's almost it's not easier to win your first

765
00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:52,480
Speaker 1: it's almost it's just hard to stay at the top

766
00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:57,439
Speaker 1: because you become America's most wanted. Everyone is circling when

767
00:39:57,440 --> 00:40:00,719
Speaker 1: they play you, guy. Coaches are getting paid if they

768
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:03,480
Speaker 1: beat you. Players are getting paid if they beat you.

769
00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:05,960
Speaker 1: And that's how a lot of guys think. People don't

770
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:08,120
Speaker 1: realize how hard it is when you have that target.

771
00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:10,480
Speaker 1: Now the game doesn't go the way you want, and

772
00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:13,200
Speaker 1: as a professional athlete, when when they don't, because I've

773
00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:16,200
Speaker 1: lost Super Bowls too, there's you always think, as an

774
00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:20,400
Speaker 1: individual man, there's four or five plays I wish I

775
00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:23,520
Speaker 1: could have fucking had back if I would have done well,

776
00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:26,280
Speaker 1: do you remember any specific of those kind of type

777
00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:29,040
Speaker 1: plays that like, I wish I had this fucking playback,

778
00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:31,279
Speaker 1: if I would have done that, we could you know,

779
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:36,080
Speaker 1: you never know. Fourth quarter, the Giants are driving in

780
00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:39,520
Speaker 1: that last series and there's a fourth and one Junior

781
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:42,279
Speaker 1: Sail and I were rotating at the time. He had

782
00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:46,080
Speaker 1: dime responsibilities I had. We both were on there. I

783
00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:49,359
Speaker 1: had nickel and regular responsibilities. Junior was in regular two.

784
00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:52,759
Speaker 1: But it was a fourth and one situation, and I

785
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:56,120
Speaker 1: believe it was Hedgecock at full back and Jacobs was

786
00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:59,640
Speaker 1: the tailback, and it was a fourth and one situation,

787
00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:02,279
Speaker 1: and it was a lead right at me, and I

788
00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:05,840
Speaker 1: took on the full back and Jacobs was still able

789
00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:09,120
Speaker 1: to squeak by and like reach over for the first down.

790
00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:11,560
Speaker 1: I think about that play all the time. I mean,

791
00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:14,040
Speaker 1: if I would have gotten that stop, could I have

792
00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:17,719
Speaker 1: said Seymour from the right side, maybe a rip call,

793
00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:21,439
Speaker 1: maybe a Louis call to move the entire line. Could

794
00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:24,840
Speaker 1: I have jumped over Hedgecock, which I've done before, just

795
00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:27,120
Speaker 1: jump over and sell out rather than taking him on.

796
00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:30,000
Speaker 1: So yeah, as you can tell, oh yeah, there's a

797
00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:32,920
Speaker 1: lot of plays individually and a lot of plays team

798
00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:36,160
Speaker 1: wise that you think of during that during that one

799
00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:39,560
Speaker 1: game super Bowl losses, big losses, but especially this one,

800
00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:43,600
Speaker 1: that fourth and one. I mean, of course, there's a

801
00:41:43,640 --> 00:41:47,120
Speaker 1: Harrison play, there's the Asante Samuel drop, there's the Yellis

802
00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:49,360
Speaker 1: Hobbs all out blitz in the in the for the

803
00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:53,360
Speaker 1: for the touchdown to Burris, it's still fresh in my mind. Beautiful,

804
00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:58,040
Speaker 1: It's all beautiful. But Teddy, be honest with this, how

805
00:41:58,120 --> 00:42:02,080
Speaker 1: seriously did you take Eli going into the game? Shoot?

806
00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:07,319
Speaker 1: I always respected Eli. I mean I never saw im.

807
00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:10,319
Speaker 1: You saw him as goofy, of course, and you knew

808
00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:13,719
Speaker 1: at that times he could throw it into a team meeting, absolutely,

809
00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:16,040
Speaker 1: and all we had to do at times was just

810
00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:20,399
Speaker 1: catch it. But we didn't catch it. I mean, did

811
00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:23,400
Speaker 1: he still in that plate to Tyree? Was he running

812
00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:26,080
Speaker 1: around like a chicken with his head cut off? Absolutely?

813
00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:28,719
Speaker 1: Did Rabel have him? Did Jarvis avage that Seymour had him?

814
00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:31,440
Speaker 1: I mean, they're all running at him, and man just

815
00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:35,000
Speaker 1: throws it up. And but that's the Super Bowl. Man.

816
00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:37,680
Speaker 1: You get catches like an Edelman catch and like you

817
00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:40,120
Speaker 1: bobble it twice and he catches at six inches off

818
00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:42,839
Speaker 1: the ground, those type of things. We've been on one

819
00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:44,759
Speaker 1: side of him, and we've been on the other side

820
00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:48,160
Speaker 1: of them. And Eli just had a little magic against

821
00:42:48,160 --> 00:42:51,760
Speaker 1: the Patriots and the Super Bowls. Yeah, Teddy, you weren't around.

822
00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:55,640
Speaker 1: But like you said, either the blitz zero on, you know,

823
00:42:55,680 --> 00:43:01,640
Speaker 1: in the short red to Plexico, Yeah, short story. I

824
00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:04,960
Speaker 1: had to hear Randy bitch about that on Friday walkthroughs

825
00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:08,600
Speaker 1: to Dean P's for two years. You know, you know

826
00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:10,799
Speaker 1: how Randy is, Hey, Dan, you're gonna throw out that

827
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:14,560
Speaker 1: bullshit blitz zero again lost with me and my mother

828
00:43:14,640 --> 00:43:19,839
Speaker 1: fucking ring, you remember, yeah, all man, and you know

829
00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:23,720
Speaker 1: the veterans you have that you signed. It's a great move.

830
00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:26,000
Speaker 1: I mean for teams out of one and before to

831
00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:29,000
Speaker 1: sign players that haven't before, you know what I mean.

832
00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:32,399
Speaker 1: So you want to win it for Junior, you want

833
00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:34,759
Speaker 1: to win it for Randy, you know, for Moss and

834
00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:38,600
Speaker 1: it's just like shit, what did we do? That is?

835
00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:43,160
Speaker 1: That was? Yeah? That blitz zero. You got drafted by Parcels.

836
00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:49,840
Speaker 1: You played for Carol and then you also played for Bill. Yeah,

837
00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:52,640
Speaker 1: when was the first time you met Bill? And what

838
00:43:52,719 --> 00:43:56,560
Speaker 1: was your first impression of this guy that he was

839
00:43:56,600 --> 00:43:58,719
Speaker 1: on the coaching staff. I believe a little bit right

840
00:43:59,080 --> 00:44:02,640
Speaker 1: was in a part with Parcels. He was a dB coach.

841
00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:05,680
Speaker 1: He was a DB's coach, and never heard him, never

842
00:44:05,719 --> 00:44:09,239
Speaker 1: hurt him at all. He was just coming off the Cleveland.

843
00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:11,800
Speaker 1: I mean, I wouldn't call it. It's borderline embarrassment. I

844
00:44:11,840 --> 00:44:13,960
Speaker 1: mean how that all ended over there with the relocation

845
00:44:14,080 --> 00:44:16,960
Speaker 1: and how he got ousted in that so, I mean

846
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:19,440
Speaker 1: he was sort of just licking his wounds and coaching

847
00:44:19,560 --> 00:44:23,279
Speaker 1: defensive backs. And I never really had a lot of

848
00:44:24,280 --> 00:44:27,960
Speaker 1: interactions with him during that year in ninety six. But

849
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:29,600
Speaker 1: the one thing I remember is we were in a

850
00:44:29,719 --> 00:44:33,160
Speaker 1: meeting once the defensive unit, and all of a sudden,

851
00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:36,120
Speaker 1: Bill spoke up in the defensive unit meeting, which he

852
00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:40,640
Speaker 1: rarely did, and he spoke up about offensive linemen and

853
00:44:40,680 --> 00:44:43,200
Speaker 1: how they get out on screens and how the dB

854
00:44:43,480 --> 00:44:47,040
Speaker 1: should really play it. And he is dropping f bombs

855
00:44:47,160 --> 00:44:50,000
Speaker 1: left and right and these fat asses and all this

856
00:44:50,080 --> 00:44:52,960
Speaker 1: and all that. I'm like, who is that? I mean, really,

857
00:44:53,080 --> 00:44:55,799
Speaker 1: who is that? Damn? He's sort of funny, you know.

858
00:44:56,200 --> 00:44:58,600
Speaker 1: And it was like, oh, that's Bellichick. Man. I was like, oh, yeah,

859
00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:02,160
Speaker 1: that's the Cleveland guy. Yeah, you know, So that that

860
00:45:02,320 --> 00:45:05,759
Speaker 1: was my introduction to Bill. I mean it was like, oh, man, yeah,

861
00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:07,759
Speaker 1: it didn't work out too well in Cleveland. Good to

862
00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:09,480
Speaker 1: have them. All this stuff. I didn't know about all

863
00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:13,120
Speaker 1: the New York Giant defensive coordinator days. Our defensive coordinator

864
00:45:13,200 --> 00:45:15,399
Speaker 1: was o't grow, you know, and Bill was just sort

865
00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:17,719
Speaker 1: of you know that year after you lose a job,

866
00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:20,880
Speaker 1: and you just accept any point, any positional meeting on

867
00:45:21,040 --> 00:45:23,640
Speaker 1: a coaching job, on a staff, and you just boom

868
00:45:23,800 --> 00:45:27,120
Speaker 1: hide behind the scenes. And then that was him. Now,

869
00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:29,640
Speaker 1: the ironic thing was this, after we lost that Super

870
00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:34,080
Speaker 1: Bowl in ninety six, Belichick went around the plane because Parcels,

871
00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:38,200
Speaker 1: him and Craft were having problems and Parcels was ousted,

872
00:45:38,520 --> 00:45:41,680
Speaker 1: and Belichick went around the plane talking to guys, like

873
00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:43,839
Speaker 1: younger guys, like he came up to me and talked

874
00:45:43,840 --> 00:45:45,960
Speaker 1: to me about the season and how you know, we

875
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:48,279
Speaker 1: got a bright future and all that stuff. And he

876
00:45:48,320 --> 00:45:51,720
Speaker 1: went to various other players like Laura molloy and other guys,

877
00:45:51,719 --> 00:45:54,240
Speaker 1: and I was like, maybe that's our next head coach.

878
00:45:55,120 --> 00:45:57,839
Speaker 1: So that was sort of weird on the plane ride back.

879
00:45:57,880 --> 00:46:01,919
Speaker 1: But that was nineteen ninety Bill Belichick. So you saw

880
00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:04,279
Speaker 1: the trans You saw him go from like a crotchety guy,

881
00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:08,000
Speaker 1: he's a grump, to you know, to coddling you guys,

882
00:46:08,040 --> 00:46:10,160
Speaker 1: and then going back to a crotchety grump all in

883
00:46:10,200 --> 00:46:12,719
Speaker 1: a few years. I mean, that's that's the Belichick way.

884
00:46:12,800 --> 00:46:15,319
Speaker 1: I mean, you are like the Patriot way guy that

885
00:46:15,360 --> 00:46:17,480
Speaker 1: you think of, you know, like when you think of like,

886
00:46:17,520 --> 00:46:20,600
Speaker 1: who's a like who set that culture. I mean, like

887
00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:24,280
Speaker 1: he's a founding cornerstone. It's it's guys like him, Kevin Falk,

888
00:46:24,400 --> 00:46:29,200
Speaker 1: Troy Brown, William McGuinness, I mean, Lawyer malloy. I didn't

889
00:46:29,200 --> 00:46:32,520
Speaker 1: get to experience him as much, but there's there's always

890
00:46:32,520 --> 00:46:37,040
Speaker 1: that group of Patriot that like they kind of they

891
00:46:37,120 --> 00:46:39,520
Speaker 1: regulate the locker room. You learn as a young player

892
00:46:39,719 --> 00:46:43,040
Speaker 1: you either get like them or you're not gonna be there. Now.

893
00:46:43,560 --> 00:46:46,120
Speaker 1: It was great. It was great being being there when

894
00:46:46,200 --> 00:46:49,280
Speaker 1: Bill was also learning to be Bill, you know, and

895
00:46:49,400 --> 00:46:51,360
Speaker 1: seeing him from where I mean, I was lucky to

896
00:46:51,400 --> 00:46:54,840
Speaker 1: have parcels lay my football foundation. I mean, Pete Carroll

897
00:46:54,920 --> 00:46:57,480
Speaker 1: wasn't bad. Pete. I learned to play linebacker around a

898
00:46:57,520 --> 00:46:59,800
Speaker 1: Pete Carroll, you know. But I mean we just weren't

899
00:46:59,800 --> 00:47:04,960
Speaker 1: you to the whole college type of atmosphere because we ourselves. Yeah. Yeah,

900
00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:06,840
Speaker 1: So it was a little bit different. And Pete learned

901
00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:09,319
Speaker 1: as a head coach toward his tenure there. But then

902
00:47:09,360 --> 00:47:12,120
Speaker 1: Belichick comes back in and then we go I think

903
00:47:12,160 --> 00:47:15,520
Speaker 1: it was five and eleven the first year, and he

904
00:47:15,680 --> 00:47:17,799
Speaker 1: is learning to be a better head coach at the

905
00:47:17,840 --> 00:47:21,960
Speaker 1: same time as you know, myself and Vinitteri and a

906
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:25,480
Speaker 1: lot of guys are their BLEDSOE is there Rabel Yeah, yeah,

907
00:47:25,480 --> 00:47:28,040
Speaker 1: well no, Rabel was Es. Yeah. Rapes came in two

908
00:47:28,080 --> 00:47:31,440
Speaker 1: thousand and one the next year, absolutely, so it was

909
00:47:31,520 --> 00:47:34,960
Speaker 1: it was good to be there to learn to sculpt

910
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:37,400
Speaker 1: what ended up being what it is. I got to

911
00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:39,280
Speaker 1: ask you, Teddy, I mean, coming back from a stroke

912
00:47:39,320 --> 00:47:41,919
Speaker 1: in two thousand and five, winning Comeback Player of the Year,

913
00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:44,799
Speaker 1: there was a vibe that Boston athletes were just like

914
00:47:44,840 --> 00:47:47,640
Speaker 1: the toughest dudes, because it's like, you've got you coming

915
00:47:47,640 --> 00:47:49,919
Speaker 1: back from a stroke. Paul Pierce gets stabbed a bunch

916
00:47:49,920 --> 00:47:52,839
Speaker 1: of time and misses like two games or something. There

917
00:47:52,880 --> 00:47:55,080
Speaker 1: was something, I mean, what was that like for you?

918
00:47:55,160 --> 00:47:56,960
Speaker 1: I mean, was there a moment after having a stroke

919
00:47:57,000 --> 00:47:59,959
Speaker 1: where you were like, am I is this my career?

920
00:48:00,320 --> 00:48:02,719
Speaker 1: Is this? Said a lot of a lot of moments, man,

921
00:48:02,800 --> 00:48:04,960
Speaker 1: I mean something like that. I mean, you hope to

922
00:48:05,040 --> 00:48:07,520
Speaker 1: have somebody to call you know what I mean. It's

923
00:48:07,520 --> 00:48:09,640
Speaker 1: like I was up so my doctor I was like, hey, dog,

924
00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:11,520
Speaker 1: give me the number of the guy that's done this

925
00:48:11,600 --> 00:48:13,440
Speaker 1: before so I can talk to him and ask him

926
00:48:13,440 --> 00:48:15,719
Speaker 1: all the questions, Like all the questions I got like, well,

927
00:48:16,120 --> 00:48:19,120
Speaker 1: my brain gonna explode is the is my heart gonna

928
00:48:19,160 --> 00:48:21,560
Speaker 1: be okay? Because they put a device in my heart?

929
00:48:21,600 --> 00:48:23,919
Speaker 1: And he was like, so there's silence on the other line,

930
00:48:23,960 --> 00:48:26,200
Speaker 1: and I'm like, Doc, duh, what's up? He said, Teddy,

931
00:48:26,239 --> 00:48:28,960
Speaker 1: you'd be the first. And I'm like, shit, let me

932
00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:31,000
Speaker 1: hang up and call you back and let me repay this,

933
00:48:31,560 --> 00:48:34,640
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So that was the hard

934
00:48:34,640 --> 00:48:38,719
Speaker 1: part about it, not having you know, someone to lean

935
00:48:38,760 --> 00:48:41,200
Speaker 1: on and ask them about it. But you know, you

936
00:48:41,239 --> 00:48:44,120
Speaker 1: get to a point where it's like every career has

937
00:48:44,160 --> 00:48:46,680
Speaker 1: a comeback. I mean, Jules had is too, and it's

938
00:48:46,719 --> 00:48:49,759
Speaker 1: about five years, ten years down the road. I just

939
00:48:49,840 --> 00:48:51,520
Speaker 1: knew I would have regretted it if I didn't give

940
00:48:51,520 --> 00:48:54,800
Speaker 1: it a shot. So you know, that was my comeback.

941
00:48:55,200 --> 00:48:57,920
Speaker 1: I mean it happened to be medical, not physical type

942
00:48:57,920 --> 00:49:00,560
Speaker 1: of you know, knee, shoulder or anything like that, but

943
00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:03,960
Speaker 1: you know, there's a lot of mental and emotional healing

944
00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:06,600
Speaker 1: that had to go on to especially that just shows

945
00:49:06,640 --> 00:49:09,759
Speaker 1: the kind of guy Teddy is. Man Like, he just

946
00:49:09,840 --> 00:49:13,799
Speaker 1: always proved people wrong. It's fucking It was just it

947
00:49:13,840 --> 00:49:17,040
Speaker 1: was a pleasure to like be in the same building

948
00:49:17,080 --> 00:49:19,279
Speaker 1: with him, that's the aura he gave off because of

949
00:49:19,600 --> 00:49:23,120
Speaker 1: the big play moments, because of the hard work, because

950
00:49:23,200 --> 00:49:27,840
Speaker 1: of the overcoming of adversity, and and it was like

951
00:49:28,200 --> 00:49:31,319
Speaker 1: it was insane. It was literally an insane experience. And

952
00:49:31,360 --> 00:49:34,319
Speaker 1: I only experienced him for camp. Yeah. Let me let

953
00:49:34,320 --> 00:49:36,920
Speaker 1: me tell you just just my perspective of it was,

954
00:49:37,480 --> 00:49:40,440
Speaker 1: I don't know what's harder, Okay, what is harder is

955
00:49:40,480 --> 00:49:46,360
Speaker 1: it to to establish, okay, establish a championship culture or

956
00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:50,319
Speaker 1: maintain it. And that's what when when Jules came in,

957
00:49:50,400 --> 00:49:55,600
Speaker 1: I mean that group that maintained the Gronkowskis, Beatleman's, the

958
00:49:55,680 --> 00:50:00,399
Speaker 1: mccordy's High Towers Mayo was later a little bit, yes, later,

959
00:50:00,520 --> 00:50:04,400
Speaker 1: absolutely to maintain that. I don't know, It's just a

960
00:50:04,440 --> 00:50:08,040
Speaker 1: great argument to see what's what's harder, you know, And

961
00:50:08,320 --> 00:50:11,000
Speaker 1: but I really thought it was just as hard and

962
00:50:11,080 --> 00:50:13,160
Speaker 1: to see it as an analyst from the analyst perspective,

963
00:50:13,200 --> 00:50:15,799
Speaker 1: I thought was super cool that. I mean, it was

964
00:50:15,840 --> 00:50:18,960
Speaker 1: so easy to talk about my former team just beating

965
00:50:19,040 --> 00:50:21,719
Speaker 1: up on everybody and still winning championships, and that was

966
00:50:21,800 --> 00:50:24,359
Speaker 1: that was a fun part of my job. And that's

967
00:50:24,400 --> 00:50:29,479
Speaker 1: the thing they set the standard. Like there I can't

968
00:50:29,480 --> 00:50:31,319
Speaker 1: even count the amount of times you'd be in a

969
00:50:31,320 --> 00:50:34,799
Speaker 1: fucking team meeting and Bill, you know how Bill is,

970
00:50:34,840 --> 00:50:38,240
Speaker 1: he's breaking down film. Look, you fuck you guys aren't

971
00:50:38,280 --> 00:50:42,759
Speaker 1: fucking Teddy Bruski. You're no fucking Willie McGinnis. Like I

972
00:50:42,960 --> 00:50:45,759
Speaker 1: coached a thousand fucking players, Like we had to hear

973
00:50:45,800 --> 00:50:48,960
Speaker 1: that until we finally got there, until we finally got one.

974
00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:51,160
Speaker 1: And then once you got one, then you're like, well, fuck,

975
00:50:51,560 --> 00:50:54,120
Speaker 1: they got three, So like, let's try to keep it going.

976
00:50:54,160 --> 00:50:57,040
Speaker 1: Let's you know what I mean. It was an inspirational

977
00:50:57,120 --> 00:51:01,239
Speaker 1: type thing that motivated our team to antimately set that

978
00:51:01,320 --> 00:51:04,600
Speaker 1: standard and keep that standard. Well, we were in college

979
00:51:04,600 --> 00:51:07,680
Speaker 1: around the same time, Jules and I. So, Teddy Bruski,

980
00:51:07,960 --> 00:51:09,960
Speaker 1: is how you described a beer? You get the shout

981
00:51:09,960 --> 00:51:12,760
Speaker 1: out in the movie? Ted Yeah, I mean you're kinda

982
00:51:13,480 --> 00:51:17,600
Speaker 1: you're You're immortal in Boston drinking and sports. How does

983
00:51:17,600 --> 00:51:19,879
Speaker 1: that feel? I was? I remember when I saw that

984
00:51:19,960 --> 00:51:22,400
Speaker 1: clip for the first time. I mean, they're in the movie,

985
00:51:22,440 --> 00:51:26,200
Speaker 1: and it was like, oh damn, did he just say that?

986
00:51:26,200 --> 00:51:29,160
Speaker 1: That was the coolest thing I had ever seen? You

987
00:51:29,200 --> 00:51:31,759
Speaker 1: know Wahlberg. So it goes Wahlburg being a big old

988
00:51:31,800 --> 00:51:35,399
Speaker 1: Patriots guy. But having the little bear say that ted

989
00:51:35,680 --> 00:51:37,600
Speaker 1: it was it was. It was super cool. Man. I

990
00:51:37,640 --> 00:51:41,320
Speaker 1: loved it. I loved it. After that everything kind of changed.

991
00:51:41,560 --> 00:51:47,960
Speaker 1: Eight Brady gets hurt. Oh nine, like yeah, yeah. The

992
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:52,319
Speaker 1: emotion after that, like that's that's gotta be the low

993
00:51:53,719 --> 00:51:57,640
Speaker 1: of of I mean, you experienced the ultimate highs. But

994
00:51:58,360 --> 00:52:02,680
Speaker 1: after that game, like the emotions? Did that deflate? That

995
00:52:03,040 --> 00:52:06,400
Speaker 1: was just deflating. How did you deal with it? How

996
00:52:06,440 --> 00:52:08,879
Speaker 1: did you how did you try to move on? Did

997
00:52:08,920 --> 00:52:12,319
Speaker 1: you move on? Was that it? Well? First of all,

998
00:52:12,680 --> 00:52:14,600
Speaker 1: it was good to have a few super Bowls still

999
00:52:14,600 --> 00:52:17,400
Speaker 1: in your back pocket, to realize that you've still won

1000
00:52:17,480 --> 00:52:23,399
Speaker 1: a fe That helped. That helped a lot. But it was, man,

1001
00:52:23,560 --> 00:52:26,160
Speaker 1: I mean, you've lost them jewels. I mean, but to

1002
00:52:26,239 --> 00:52:30,040
Speaker 1: lose the one. I mean, you had won super Bowls.

1003
00:52:30,160 --> 00:52:32,720
Speaker 1: You win super Bowls, but this was the super Bowl

1004
00:52:32,719 --> 00:52:37,480
Speaker 1: we were trying to get. I mean, biggest upset in

1005
00:52:37,560 --> 00:52:39,600
Speaker 1: Super Bowl history. I mean, you got a team that's

1006
00:52:39,640 --> 00:52:42,600
Speaker 1: trying to go undefeated. I mean you're hearing everything about

1007
00:52:42,840 --> 00:52:45,120
Speaker 1: the Dolphins and all of that stuff during the whole

1008
00:52:45,160 --> 00:52:49,280
Speaker 1: course of the year. Man, I it took me a while.

1009
00:52:49,520 --> 00:52:51,480
Speaker 1: It took me a while to get over it. Bro.

1010
00:52:51,680 --> 00:52:54,759
Speaker 1: I mean, it's I still I still have thoughts about it,

1011
00:52:54,760 --> 00:52:57,319
Speaker 1: and I'll give myself questions in my mind. It's like,

1012
00:52:57,360 --> 00:53:00,880
Speaker 1: what I trade all three of those Super Bowls for

1013
00:53:00,920 --> 00:53:04,160
Speaker 1: the one nineteen and oh? Yeah, I think about that.

1014
00:53:04,760 --> 00:53:08,040
Speaker 1: Would you Sometimes I answer yes? But most of the

1015
00:53:08,080 --> 00:53:09,840
Speaker 1: times I answered most of the times I answered no.

1016
00:53:10,360 --> 00:53:13,520
Speaker 1: I tell you, let me give you a little Jewish tactic.

1017
00:53:13,560 --> 00:53:15,600
Speaker 1: Why don't you start with two? And maybe they would

1018
00:53:15,600 --> 00:53:18,040
Speaker 1: they would take it. You get two, so then you

1019
00:53:18,080 --> 00:53:21,319
Speaker 1: give him two super Bowls for nineteen and oh, and

1020
00:53:21,360 --> 00:53:25,279
Speaker 1: then you got one in another which will negotiation with

1021
00:53:25,320 --> 00:53:28,080
Speaker 1: the gods? Which one would I get? Football guys? And

1022
00:53:28,120 --> 00:53:31,239
Speaker 1: then again too, I mean, which one do you give up?

1023
00:53:31,239 --> 00:53:33,279
Speaker 1: Do you give up the first Brady? Maybe Brady's not

1024
00:53:33,320 --> 00:53:35,600
Speaker 1: Brady if he doesn't get that first one. But then

1025
00:53:35,640 --> 00:53:37,800
Speaker 1: then but the first one is the one we broke through,

1026
00:53:38,080 --> 00:53:40,040
Speaker 1: I mean, and then the other two went back to back,

1027
00:53:40,080 --> 00:53:43,000
Speaker 1: which I hold on to our group going back to back.

1028
00:53:43,280 --> 00:53:45,759
Speaker 1: I know group Jules never did it. Never did it,

1029
00:53:45,840 --> 00:53:48,120
Speaker 1: we went up show, never did it. And I that's

1030
00:53:48,200 --> 00:53:50,480
Speaker 1: in the back of my head too, Teddy, Yeah, it's

1031
00:53:50,520 --> 00:53:52,520
Speaker 1: in my fucking head too. Don't think I don't. I

1032
00:53:52,560 --> 00:53:55,680
Speaker 1: don't think about that. Like, geez, we never never went

1033
00:53:55,719 --> 00:53:58,920
Speaker 1: back to back. Yeah, I think if anything, that eighteen

1034
00:53:58,960 --> 00:54:02,400
Speaker 1: and one tea, it just it gives me an incredible perspective.

1035
00:54:02,920 --> 00:54:06,880
Speaker 1: I mean, geez, I mean to have all the success

1036
00:54:06,960 --> 00:54:11,280
Speaker 1: that we had and then to have the biggest defeat

1037
00:54:11,320 --> 00:54:14,719
Speaker 1: that anyone can possibly think of. So I got a

1038
00:54:14,719 --> 00:54:18,520
Speaker 1: lot of experiences in this head through winning and losing championships,

1039
00:54:18,840 --> 00:54:20,560
Speaker 1: and I know what it's like to win the biggest

1040
00:54:20,560 --> 00:54:22,640
Speaker 1: of games and lose the biggest of games. And that's

1041
00:54:22,680 --> 00:54:25,799
Speaker 1: a unique perspective that a lot of people don't have.

1042
00:54:26,400 --> 00:54:29,960
Speaker 1: But that's just a small consolation prize. Man. I had

1043
00:54:29,960 --> 00:54:32,040
Speaker 1: to ask you one thing before you go, because you

1044
00:54:32,080 --> 00:54:34,279
Speaker 1: mentioned him briefly, But I mean, could you throw some

1045
00:54:34,320 --> 00:54:38,000
Speaker 1: shine on Junior say out? Who is an NFL legend? Ah?

1046
00:54:38,080 --> 00:54:41,040
Speaker 1: You buddy? Yeah, I mean I remember when Pete Carroll

1047
00:54:41,320 --> 00:54:44,479
Speaker 1: and Bo Polini were here. He was my linebacker coach,

1048
00:54:44,560 --> 00:54:47,680
Speaker 1: and it was like I'd be watching Junior say out

1049
00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:50,880
Speaker 1: in terms of how he played, and I love the

1050
00:54:50,880 --> 00:54:52,719
Speaker 1: way he played, and I wanted to I use it

1051
00:54:52,760 --> 00:54:55,200
Speaker 1: as an example for myself in terms of effort and

1052
00:54:55,280 --> 00:54:58,960
Speaker 1: just instincts and to become a teammate of him and

1053
00:54:59,120 --> 00:55:01,960
Speaker 1: to just have the impact on a team the minute

1054
00:55:01,960 --> 00:55:04,560
Speaker 1: he walks in the locker room. You know, just this

1055
00:55:04,600 --> 00:55:07,520
Speaker 1: guy had so much energy. One of my favorite teammates

1056
00:55:07,520 --> 00:55:11,160
Speaker 1: of all time. Uh, one of probably the best linebacker

1057
00:55:11,200 --> 00:55:14,120
Speaker 1: of all time. I mean, just so blessed to being

1058
00:55:14,160 --> 00:55:17,319
Speaker 1: able to play with him. No, buddy, buddy, buddy, you

1059
00:55:17,320 --> 00:55:20,719
Speaker 1: know that's the whole junior thing. Playing his his isukulele,

1060
00:55:21,160 --> 00:55:24,480
Speaker 1: isukulele in the locker room. There will be another, never another,

1061
00:55:24,640 --> 00:55:27,040
Speaker 1: never another, Absolutely not. I loved that guy too. I

1062
00:55:27,280 --> 00:55:32,879
Speaker 1: played with them a little bit nine year Uh, Teddy, Joe,

Speaker 1: We have to get them to say something for you.

1119
00:58:43,720 --> 00:58:46,240
Speaker 1: I'm thinking this time over under times you can bring

1120
00:58:46,320 --> 00:58:48,680
Speaker 1: up Phil Simms. We'll talking to Eli. What's a good

1121

Speaker 1: number for that three three and a half you're looking

1122
00:58:51,280 --> 00:58:53,400
Speaker 1: at four? I could probably hit four. I'm a Phil

1123
00:58:53,440 --> 00:58:55,600
Speaker 1: Simms guy. I think he's the best quarterback in the

1124
00:58:55,640 --> 00:58:58,360
Speaker 1: history of the New York Football Giants Super Bowl MVP.

1125
00:58:58,560 --> 00:59:00,200
Speaker 1: I know he didn't play in the second one that

1126
00:59:00,240 --> 00:59:03,080
Speaker 1: they the team won, but uh, you know, he's a

1127
00:59:03,160 --> 00:59:06,880
Speaker 1: Kentucky boy. He's he's one of those guys that you

1128
00:59:06,880 --> 00:59:10,120
Speaker 1: want to have in your corner. Competitive. All these stories

1129
00:59:10,160 --> 00:59:14,640
Speaker 1: I've heard firsthand from him because he always talks about him,

1130
00:59:15,600 --> 00:59:19,320
Speaker 1: about how fierce and fire he was. When he explains

1131
00:59:19,360 --> 00:59:21,800
Speaker 1: it to me daily on Inside the NFL, which is

1132

1177
01:01:45,360 --> 01:01:51,240
Speaker 1: year pro, two insane super bowls against both of you know,

1178
01:01:51,600 --> 01:01:54,520

1179

Speaker 1: Bowl MVP, four time Pro bowler. Eli got it done

1180
01:01:58,520 --> 01:02:02,280
Speaker 1: in the regular season. Two brother of Peyton and Cooper,

1181
01:02:02,440 --> 01:02:06,760
Speaker 1: son of Archie and honestly the better half of the

1182
01:02:06,760 --> 01:02:09,800
Speaker 1: Maning cast. Eli Manning, thank you for joining us, bro.

1183
01:02:09,840 --> 01:02:12,520
Speaker 1: I appreciate that. Oh appreciate it, fellas happy to be on.

1184
01:02:12,720 --> 01:02:15,720
Speaker 1: This will be fun. So we have you here to

1185
01:02:15,760 --> 01:02:20,200
Speaker 1: talk about the eighteen and one disaster game for the

1186
01:02:20,240 --> 01:02:22,960
Speaker 1: New England Patriots. But it depends your perspective. I have

1187
01:02:23,080 --> 01:02:26,640
Speaker 1: fond memories. I have to tell you, Eli, that was

1188
01:02:26,960 --> 01:02:29,800
Speaker 1: as a New York sports fan, maybe the greatest game

1189
01:02:30,720 --> 01:02:33,720
Speaker 1: in my life to watch as a fan. I mean

1190
01:02:33,720 --> 01:02:37,760
Speaker 1: that was going into that game. That's such an intense

1191
01:02:38,960 --> 01:02:41,439
Speaker 1: You saw them in week seventeen, I believe it was. Yeah,

1192
01:02:41,480 --> 01:02:44,080
Speaker 1: and it was a three point loss. Well, how did

1193
01:02:44,080 --> 01:02:46,640
Speaker 1: you feel going into that game everyone calling you twelve

1194
01:02:46,680 --> 01:02:50,480
Speaker 1: point underdogs. Yeah, I mean, I think the fact that

1195
01:02:50,520 --> 01:02:53,000
Speaker 1: we did play them the last season of the regular

1196
01:02:53,880 --> 01:02:56,600
Speaker 1: you know, last game of the regular season helped us out.

1197
01:02:56,640 --> 01:02:59,720
Speaker 1: I mean the fact that you know, it was also

1198
01:03:00,040 --> 01:03:03,160
Speaker 1: of a unique situation where we'd already clinched a spot

1199
01:03:03,160 --> 01:03:05,280
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. They had obviously already clinched a spot

1200
01:03:05,280 --> 01:03:08,360
Speaker 1: in the playoffs that last regular season game, and we

1201
01:03:08,400 --> 01:03:10,160
Speaker 1: could have sat out. We knew they were going to

1202
01:03:10,240 --> 01:03:13,400
Speaker 1: play because you know, they're going for the undefeated season.

1203
01:03:13,440 --> 01:03:16,440
Speaker 1: With coach Kauflin kind of said, hey, you know, in

1204
01:03:16,480 --> 01:03:19,000
Speaker 1: that first meeting, you kind of come back on on

1205
01:03:19,000 --> 01:03:21,280
Speaker 1: on Monday, say hey, we're you know, just say no,

1206
01:03:21,680 --> 01:03:24,720
Speaker 1: we're playing. Everybody's playing, We're playing to win this game.

1207
01:03:25,120 --> 01:03:27,160
Speaker 1: And you know, so you kind of set the tone

1208
01:03:27,200 --> 01:03:29,520
Speaker 1: right there for us to go out there and go

1209
01:03:29,600 --> 01:03:33,120
Speaker 1: against the best team in the NFL, you know, maybe

1210
01:03:33,200 --> 01:03:35,080
Speaker 1: the best team ever and kind of hang with them

1211
01:03:35,080 --> 01:03:38,040
Speaker 1: for fourth quarters. Offensively, we got back and we're playing

1212
01:03:38,080 --> 01:03:40,280
Speaker 1: pretty well, put up a lot of points, so you know,

1213
01:03:40,320 --> 01:03:43,439
Speaker 1: we kind of rode that momentum through the playoffs and

1214
01:03:43,440 --> 01:03:45,640
Speaker 1: and kind of said, hey, if we see these guys again,

1215
01:03:46,400 --> 01:03:48,760
Speaker 1: you know, we can hang with them and maybe we

1216
01:03:48,880 --> 01:03:51,360
Speaker 1: just make that play in the fourth quarter that that

1217
01:03:51,400 --> 01:03:54,840
Speaker 1: gives us a chance to beat them. I agree completely.

1218
01:03:54,840 --> 01:03:57,400
Speaker 1: Anytime you play a team that you're not really familiar

1219
01:03:57,400 --> 01:03:59,600
Speaker 1: with in the regular season, you end up seeing them

1220
01:03:59,640 --> 01:04:02,960
Speaker 1: in the play again or something you have that you

1221
01:04:03,040 --> 01:04:06,120
Speaker 1: have that taste, you already have that in your head

1222
01:04:06,160 --> 01:04:09,520
Speaker 1: and that technique they do. You see how players play,

1223
01:04:09,680 --> 01:04:13,040
Speaker 1: you get a familiarity with the team. So I always

1224
01:04:13,080 --> 01:04:15,840
Speaker 1: used to love that. Now, Eli, did you really think

1225
01:04:15,880 --> 01:04:17,600
Speaker 1: you're gonna win this game? Did you guys go on this?

1226
01:04:17,840 --> 01:04:19,880
Speaker 1: Were you guys that confident? Or are you like, fuck,

1227
01:04:19,960 --> 01:04:22,400
Speaker 1: you know, we're gonna get asses kicked? These guys are

1228
01:04:22,440 --> 01:04:25,400
Speaker 1: fucking seventeen and zho Do you watch some people saying

1229
01:04:25,400 --> 01:04:28,280
Speaker 1: that on TV, like they said, just block out everything?

1230
01:04:28,280 --> 01:04:32,040
Speaker 1: How did you deal with this? That's a that's crazy pressure. Yeah,

1231
01:04:32,280 --> 01:04:34,200
Speaker 1: you know, I mean I think you come into every

1232
01:04:34,320 --> 01:04:36,800
Speaker 1: game thinking you can win the game. You know, we

1233
01:04:36,880 --> 01:04:40,080
Speaker 1: knew it would be tough, and we're kind of thinking, hey,

1234
01:04:40,600 --> 01:04:43,560
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to score a lot of points, just

1235
01:04:43,560 --> 01:04:46,440
Speaker 1: because of how explosive they were offensively, because of the

1236
01:04:47,040 --> 01:04:49,080
Speaker 1: game we played earlier this season where we kind of

1237
01:04:49,120 --> 01:04:51,360
Speaker 1: had a lead and then they just they just got

1238
01:04:51,440 --> 01:04:53,920
Speaker 1: hot and all of a sudden, they just become unstoppable

1239
01:04:53,960 --> 01:04:56,760
Speaker 1: and they're scoring points, and so you know, we we

1240
01:04:56,840 --> 01:04:59,440
Speaker 1: knew we hung with them before, and so we just said,

1241
01:04:59,560 --> 01:05:02,560
Speaker 1: you know, you know, I do an interception early in

1242
01:05:02,560 --> 01:05:04,680
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter of that regular season game that kind

1243
01:05:04,680 --> 01:05:06,560
Speaker 1: of put us behind. They scored, took the lead, we

1244
01:05:06,560 --> 01:05:08,800
Speaker 1: couldn't get it back, and so you know, we kind

1245
01:05:08,800 --> 01:05:11,439
Speaker 1: of stay, hey, we're a play away maybe from from

1246
01:05:11,440 --> 01:05:13,960
Speaker 1: winning this winning that first game. So I think you

1247
01:05:14,040 --> 01:05:17,000
Speaker 1: always go into a game, you know, liking the game, playing,

1248
01:05:17,080 --> 01:05:20,400
Speaker 1: feeling good about things, but under but we understood, hey

1249
01:05:20,440 --> 01:05:22,640
Speaker 1: wouln't gonna be easy, and you know, it's one of

1250
01:05:22,680 --> 01:05:24,840
Speaker 1: those deals. We might play them. We played them a

1251
01:05:24,920 --> 01:05:28,080
Speaker 1: hundred times. You know, maybe maybe we win ninety seven

1252
01:05:28,120 --> 01:05:30,400
Speaker 1: of them all. We lose ninety seven times. But hey,

1253
01:05:30,520 --> 01:05:32,440
Speaker 1: you know there's you know, there's a chance, you know,

1254
01:05:32,520 --> 01:05:35,240
Speaker 1: this could be that game where we catch the breaks

1255
01:05:35,240 --> 01:05:37,600
Speaker 1: and we play we play our great game and we

1256
01:05:37,640 --> 01:05:39,920
Speaker 1: can beat them. Now, how much did you pay Usante

1257
01:05:39,920 --> 01:05:44,680
Speaker 1: Samuel for dropping the interception on the last drive? You know,

1258
01:05:44,720 --> 01:05:47,479
Speaker 1: I was a throwaway. He weren't to get his feet

1259
01:05:47,480 --> 01:05:52,880
Speaker 1: and bounds anyway, you know, close, not even close. Yeah,

1260
01:05:52,920 --> 01:05:55,040
Speaker 1: I mean I and I relate to that mentality going

1261
01:05:55,040 --> 01:05:56,720
Speaker 1: into every game. Thing and you can win. When I'm

1262
01:05:56,760 --> 01:05:59,120
Speaker 1: at the YMCA going against thirteen year olds, I'm like,

1263
01:05:59,120 --> 01:06:02,800
Speaker 1: you're fucking dead. So exactly, I get the mindset. I

1264
01:06:02,840 --> 01:06:06,200
Speaker 1: get it. I'm like, you guys, you know, did uh

1265
01:06:06,480 --> 01:06:09,440
Speaker 1: Peyton played us a bunch throughout his career. Did you

1266
01:06:09,440 --> 01:06:12,320
Speaker 1: guys talk any any bit that week? Did he give

1267
01:06:12,320 --> 01:06:14,360
Speaker 1: you a little lowdown on what he had to do

1268
01:06:14,080 --> 01:06:17,000
Speaker 1: to go out there and play your best game? Yeah? Sure,

1269
01:06:17,040 --> 01:06:19,240
Speaker 1: you know, we definitely talked just because he you know,

1270
01:06:19,280 --> 01:06:21,800
Speaker 1: he's going against it so many times and just kind

1271
01:06:21,800 --> 01:06:25,560
Speaker 1: of say any any themes about kind of what they

1272
01:06:25,720 --> 01:06:28,240
Speaker 1: do or or the timing about you know, how they

1273
01:06:28,360 --> 01:06:30,280
Speaker 1: change up, and that's I think that's a great thing

1274
01:06:30,320 --> 01:06:33,120
Speaker 1: about you know, New England and their defenses is that

1275
01:06:33,160 --> 01:06:35,280
Speaker 1: they're very multiple and they can all of a sudden

1276
01:06:35,600 --> 01:06:37,720
Speaker 1: just say hey, this is what we're doing this week

1277
01:06:37,760 --> 01:06:41,240
Speaker 1: and show you know, defensive headshown all year. And so

1278
01:06:41,320 --> 01:06:43,439
Speaker 1: he kind of said just you know a few things

1279
01:06:43,440 --> 01:06:47,040
Speaker 1: were just say expect they'll have something new kind of

1280
01:06:47,040 --> 01:06:49,600
Speaker 1: the first couple series, first two series, and then as

1281
01:06:49,600 --> 01:06:52,080
Speaker 1: you make adjustments that third series, they're going to have

1282
01:06:52,120 --> 01:06:54,880
Speaker 1: even something you know different now, and so you're kind

1283
01:06:54,880 --> 01:06:57,480
Speaker 1: of always guessing and then you know they might do

1284
01:06:57,720 --> 01:07:00,760
Speaker 1: a first half they're playing you know, defense, all of a

1285
01:07:00,720 --> 01:07:03,360
Speaker 1: a sudden second half, you make all your adjustments, this

1286
01:07:03,440 --> 01:07:05,440
Speaker 1: is what we're gonna do now, and now they're playing

1287
01:07:05,880 --> 01:07:08,600
Speaker 1: you know, they've made their adjustments and changing up defensively,

1288
01:07:08,640 --> 01:07:11,160
Speaker 1: and so you just gotta be kind of prepared for

1289
01:07:11,200 --> 01:07:14,160
Speaker 1: that and they gotta. And so that's really you know,

1290
01:07:14,160 --> 01:07:17,200
Speaker 1: it was pretty accurate to to what they what they did,

1291
01:07:18,160 --> 01:07:20,600
Speaker 1: and they just had they had a new defense. They

1292
01:07:20,600 --> 01:07:24,000
Speaker 1: had shown it a little bit against San Diego prior,

1293
01:07:24,760 --> 01:07:27,320
Speaker 1: you know, where they kind of had uh you know

1294
01:07:27,400 --> 01:07:31,240
Speaker 1: double double in Platskill Burris uh and for us and

1295
01:07:31,280 --> 01:07:34,280
Speaker 1: then kind of had you know, had extra safety in

1296
01:07:34,320 --> 01:07:36,520
Speaker 1: the box to stop the run. But he would kind

1297
01:07:36,520 --> 01:07:39,320
Speaker 1: of try to run out like a two Inverte Strong

1298
01:07:40,000 --> 01:07:42,120
Speaker 1: with Rodney Harrison in the box, but he was kind

1299
01:07:42,120 --> 01:07:45,680
Speaker 1: of playing the you know, the flat corner you know

1300
01:07:45,760 --> 01:07:48,920
Speaker 1: position basically, but from from the inside. And so they

1301
01:07:48,920 --> 01:07:51,800
Speaker 1: were doing that a lot to take away Platsco and

1302
01:07:51,840 --> 01:07:55,320
Speaker 1: then also try to stop her run. I remember Rodney Harrison.

1303
01:07:55,400 --> 01:07:57,200
Speaker 1: I believe this was the year he got suspended for

1304
01:07:57,280 --> 01:08:00,440
Speaker 1: steroids and then he came back and I was like

1305
01:08:00,600 --> 01:08:04,480
Speaker 1: he's still on the steroids. They didn't. They don't just

1306
01:08:04,520 --> 01:08:07,160
Speaker 1: wear off. You gotta suspend him longer. And I was,

1307
01:08:07,280 --> 01:08:10,720
Speaker 1: I was, Yeah, he was an intimidating player on the

1308
01:08:10,800 --> 01:08:14,440
Speaker 1: on the Pats. Going into this, you won three straight

1309
01:08:14,520 --> 01:08:18,559
Speaker 1: road games. I mean all I would assume under I mean,

1310
01:08:18,560 --> 01:08:20,439
Speaker 1: you're underdogs in all three of these games too, So

1311
01:08:20,800 --> 01:08:23,160
Speaker 1: that must have boosted your confidence. What do you think

1312
01:08:23,200 --> 01:08:28,360
Speaker 1: going against Tampa, Dallas, Green Bay? All tough games? Yeah,

1313
01:08:28,439 --> 01:08:31,240
Speaker 1: all all tough games on the road, But you know

1314
01:08:32,160 --> 01:08:34,840
Speaker 1: that's that's we had been a good road team. We

1315
01:08:34,840 --> 01:08:39,200
Speaker 1: were actually we lost the first game of the season,

1316
01:08:39,200 --> 01:08:42,280
Speaker 1: we lost on the road to to Dallas, and then

1317
01:08:42,320 --> 01:08:45,479
Speaker 1: we won seven in a row on the roads. We

1318
01:08:45,479 --> 01:08:47,599
Speaker 1: were actually a better road team than we were a

1319
01:08:47,640 --> 01:08:50,160
Speaker 1: home team, which you know is not normally the case.

1320
01:08:50,280 --> 01:08:53,240
Speaker 1: But so we kind of just said, hey, this is

1321
01:08:53,280 --> 01:08:55,000
Speaker 1: what we are. We're you know, we're kind of these

1322
01:08:55,080 --> 01:08:59,200
Speaker 1: road warriors, so let's embrace it. And we almost say, hey,

1323
01:08:59,200 --> 01:09:01,880
Speaker 1: we're excited. We're gonna be on the road for four games,

1324
01:09:02,040 --> 01:09:04,280
Speaker 1: and if we got to win a super Bowl, this

1325
01:09:04,360 --> 01:09:06,679
Speaker 1: is this is where we play our best football. So yeah,

1326
01:09:06,760 --> 01:09:09,440
Speaker 1: took it into Tampa and just kind of the mindset.

1327
01:09:10,479 --> 01:09:14,000
Speaker 1: You know, they were good on defense. Offensively, they weren't

1328
01:09:14,040 --> 01:09:16,080
Speaker 1: scoring a ton of points. So it's one of those games, Hey,

1329
01:09:16,120 --> 01:09:19,000
Speaker 1: let's play smart, let's not don't give them any they

1330
01:09:19,080 --> 01:09:22,879
Speaker 1: don't make it easy for them, and uh and this hopefully,

1331
01:09:23,000 --> 01:09:24,639
Speaker 1: you know, we can get a couple of long drives,

1332
01:09:24,680 --> 01:09:27,599
Speaker 1: run the ball, short passing game, you know, and and

1333
01:09:27,720 --> 01:09:29,760
Speaker 1: just you know, score enough to beat him. And that's

1334
01:09:29,800 --> 01:09:31,640
Speaker 1: kind of the way the way it turned out. Our

1335
01:09:31,680 --> 01:09:34,679
Speaker 1: defense played great, and then you know, really the same

1336
01:09:34,760 --> 01:09:37,240
Speaker 1: you know, Dallas was a team that was was rolling.

1337
01:09:37,360 --> 01:09:39,639
Speaker 1: Romo was playing great, they were scoring a ton of points,

1338
01:09:39,680 --> 01:09:43,720
Speaker 1: they were good on defense to Marcus Ware and so

1339
01:09:44,240 --> 01:09:46,080
Speaker 1: you know, that was just kind of a you know,

1340
01:09:46,160 --> 01:09:47,920
Speaker 1: we didn't have the ball much. You know, I hit

1341
01:09:48,320 --> 01:09:50,680
Speaker 1: a curral route to Amani Tumor and he kind of

1342
01:09:50,720 --> 01:09:54,360
Speaker 1: turns up and goes, uh, you know, it goes sixty

1343
01:09:54,439 --> 01:09:57,080
Speaker 1: yards for a touchdown. And then we had a drive

1344
01:09:57,120 --> 01:09:59,800
Speaker 1: before you know the two minute uh you know, two

1345
01:09:59,800 --> 01:10:03,240
Speaker 1: minut to drive before the half or we scored another touchdown.

1346
01:10:03,320 --> 01:10:05,560
Speaker 1: So you know, if you look at the numbers, we

1347
01:10:05,600 --> 01:10:07,720
Speaker 1: didn't we didn't move the ball all that great, but

1348
01:10:07,760 --> 01:10:10,000
Speaker 1: we didn't turn the ball over, we didn't do anything.

1349
01:10:10,000 --> 01:10:12,320
Speaker 1: We got after Romo and got some sacks and then

1350
01:10:13,000 --> 01:10:15,320
Speaker 1: kind of a you know, a great cold game in

1351
01:10:15,360 --> 01:10:18,440
Speaker 1: Green Bay, which is just an awesome Brett Fahr flambeau

1352
01:10:18,560 --> 01:10:22,719
Speaker 1: Field negative twenty four degrees confidence faces, you know, still

1353
01:10:22,760 --> 01:10:27,400
Speaker 1: got you know, ice on it to this and uh

1354
01:10:27,600 --> 01:10:31,800
Speaker 1: so Chery. Yeah, it's a great, a great stretch of

1355
01:10:31,800 --> 01:10:34,559
Speaker 1: of road games. And we were playing our best football

1356
01:10:34,600 --> 01:10:38,479
Speaker 1: going into the playoffs, which is what you want. Now. Now, Eli,

1357
01:10:38,680 --> 01:10:43,200
Speaker 1: you're a tough, gritty guy that plays his best game

1358
01:10:44,000 --> 01:10:48,000
Speaker 1: in the biggest moment. Did you ever talk to Phil Simms,

1359
01:10:48,160 --> 01:10:51,440
Speaker 1: the New York veteran, the guy who's always around the facility.

1360
01:10:51,520 --> 01:10:53,240
Speaker 1: I have to hear I work with Phil Simms on

1361
01:10:53,280 --> 01:10:55,960
Speaker 1: inside the NFL streaming on Paramount Plus, of course, and

1362
01:10:56,040 --> 01:10:58,720
Speaker 1: I have to hear Phil Simms talk about, Oh I

1363
01:10:58,800 --> 01:11:00,840
Speaker 1: go in there, they got to break down the Again.

1364
01:11:01,000 --> 01:11:04,120
Speaker 1: Did Phil ever give you any words of advice? Did

1365
01:11:04,120 --> 01:11:07,000
Speaker 1: he ever say anything? Yeah, especially in that first one.

1366
01:11:07,040 --> 01:11:09,120
Speaker 1: This is the first one, right, And you know, I

1367
01:11:09,160 --> 01:11:12,679
Speaker 1: don't think that you know anything specifically for that week

1368
01:11:13,200 --> 01:11:15,640
Speaker 1: of him being around, but he was definitely around, you know,

1369
01:11:15,720 --> 01:11:18,439
Speaker 1: try to pick his brain. A lot of it was

1370
01:11:18,520 --> 01:11:22,960
Speaker 1: kind of around the Old Giant Stadium where you know,

1371
01:11:23,000 --> 01:11:26,040
Speaker 1: the wind was blowing. He had some great advice saying, hey,

1372
01:11:26,200 --> 01:11:28,880
Speaker 1: you know, just certain end zones always wind ears just

1373
01:11:28,960 --> 01:11:30,800
Speaker 1: it's tougher to throw it down there. So you got

1374
01:11:30,800 --> 01:11:32,880
Speaker 1: to be careful as bades. You know, if there's a

1375
01:11:32,960 --> 01:11:35,840
Speaker 1: chance to kind of let the quarter run out if

1376
01:11:35,880 --> 01:11:37,759
Speaker 1: you're in the red zone and so you can switch

1377
01:11:37,800 --> 01:11:39,840
Speaker 1: it to go to that other end zone, you know,

1378
01:11:40,240 --> 01:11:42,479
Speaker 1: try to do that. And so, I mean, just the

1379
01:11:43,120 --> 01:11:47,280
Speaker 1: numbers of touchdowns thrown in his career and my career

1380
01:11:47,400 --> 01:11:51,559
Speaker 1: versus one end zone versus the other was pretty pretty

1381
01:11:51,720 --> 01:11:54,439
Speaker 1: incredible because of just the wind and the way we

1382
01:11:54,600 --> 01:11:56,759
Speaker 1: blow in that old stadium. But he was always around,

1383
01:11:56,760 --> 01:11:59,320
Speaker 1: always try to ask him for advice just on on

1384
01:11:59,439 --> 01:12:02,560
Speaker 1: managing games, on dealing with everything in the NFL, and

1385
01:12:02,760 --> 01:12:05,479
Speaker 1: and so he's always a great resource for me. I

1386
01:12:05,760 --> 01:12:07,960
Speaker 1: do have to confess, you know, I'm wearing my Phil

1387
01:12:08,000 --> 01:12:09,960
Speaker 1: Simms T shirt right now. I didn't want to be

1388
01:12:09,960 --> 01:12:12,439
Speaker 1: a complete Giants hater. Do you see that? He's my

1389
01:12:12,720 --> 01:12:15,000
Speaker 1: you know, he's my favorite New York Giants quarterbacks. No,

1390
01:12:15,040 --> 01:12:19,000
Speaker 1: you're my favorite Manning You're my favorite maning, and that's

1391
01:12:19,920 --> 01:12:22,800
Speaker 1: there's a lot of manings at are studs. I mean,

1392
01:12:22,840 --> 01:12:24,560
Speaker 1: Phil Simms never beat him in a Super Bowl, so

1393
01:12:24,600 --> 01:12:26,880
Speaker 1: that's probably why he feels that way. You know, I

1394
01:12:26,920 --> 01:12:30,679
Speaker 1: get it. Now, you talked about you talked about long drives.

1395
01:12:30,720 --> 01:12:32,519
Speaker 1: You guys start this guy? Do you start this game

1396
01:12:32,520 --> 01:12:35,680
Speaker 1: off with like a ten minute drive? Right? Like? Was

1397
01:12:35,720 --> 01:12:38,680
Speaker 1: that partially part of the game plan. Let's keep this

1398
01:12:38,760 --> 01:12:41,559
Speaker 1: offense off the field, Let's have long drives, will make

1399
01:12:41,600 --> 01:12:43,479
Speaker 1: them one dimensional, we can make you know what I mean?

1400
01:12:43,520 --> 01:12:45,880
Speaker 1: Is that what you guys are really thinking? Oh yeah,

1401
01:12:45,880 --> 01:12:48,479
Speaker 1: one hundred percent. I think that was definitely. Was it

1402
01:12:48,560 --> 01:12:50,400
Speaker 1: a game where we said, hey, we're gonna take a

1403
01:12:50,400 --> 01:12:53,479
Speaker 1: ton of shots and have all these big plays and

1404
01:12:53,560 --> 01:12:56,800
Speaker 1: gadgets and try to It was really, hey, let's run

1405
01:12:56,840 --> 01:12:59,479
Speaker 1: the ball, let's you know, have a short passing game.

1406
01:12:59,680 --> 01:13:01,519
Speaker 1: Let's try to just you know, get at the third

1407
01:13:01,560 --> 01:13:04,639
Speaker 1: and manageable be good on third down. So I mean,

1408
01:13:04,840 --> 01:13:06,519
Speaker 1: you know, really the game just started off the way

1409
01:13:06,560 --> 01:13:08,240
Speaker 1: we wanted to for you know, kind of had a

1410
01:13:08,280 --> 01:13:10,920
Speaker 1: third down early hit Steve Smith on a little option

1411
01:13:11,040 --> 01:13:13,320
Speaker 1: route to the left, and it's like, all right, you

1412
01:13:13,320 --> 01:13:16,479
Speaker 1: can take a breath and we can go and you know,

1413
01:13:16,960 --> 01:13:19,680
Speaker 1: like you said, yeah, we had about a seven or

1414
01:13:19,680 --> 01:13:21,760
Speaker 1: eight minute drive. We set it for a fueld goal.

1415
01:13:21,840 --> 01:13:23,960
Speaker 1: Obviously you'd love to get a touchdown there, but kind

1416
01:13:23,960 --> 01:13:26,840
Speaker 1: of under the circumstances that's a lot of us in

1417
01:13:26,920 --> 01:13:29,479
Speaker 1: our first Super Bowl. You get the ball first, and

1418
01:13:29,560 --> 01:13:31,840
Speaker 1: you take seven eight minutes off the clock and you

1419
01:13:31,880 --> 01:13:34,280
Speaker 1: get points on the board. You know that is that

1420
01:13:34,479 --> 01:13:36,640
Speaker 1: was definitely a win. And uh, you know, really we

1421
01:13:36,680 --> 01:13:39,200
Speaker 1: only had one possession, really or and we kept them

1422
01:13:39,520 --> 01:13:42,880
Speaker 1: to one possession in the first quarter. Yeah, And it's

1423
01:13:42,880 --> 01:13:45,720
Speaker 1: got to be it's got to be confident when you

1424
01:13:45,760 --> 01:13:48,760
Speaker 1: take that much time off the clock and then you

1425
01:13:48,800 --> 01:13:51,280
Speaker 1: get to have your boys go out there. That defensive

1426
01:13:51,320 --> 01:13:55,280
Speaker 1: line that you guys had was just insane. Oci and

1427
01:13:55,320 --> 01:13:58,880
Speaker 1: Strayhan and all those got Tuck I mean Tuck, Yeah,

1428
01:13:59,240 --> 01:14:01,479
Speaker 1: was did straighthand and this was his last year. He

1429
01:14:01,600 --> 01:14:04,000
Speaker 1: was such a beloved New York legend as well. And

1430
01:14:04,479 --> 01:14:06,679
Speaker 1: did he say anything to you guys that like fired

1431
01:14:06,720 --> 01:14:09,160
Speaker 1: you up? He seemed to have that energy. Yeah, I

1432
01:14:09,160 --> 01:14:11,720
Speaker 1: mean we knew, we kind of knew it was his

1433
01:14:11,840 --> 01:14:14,479
Speaker 1: last year. And I think you know, when you have

1434
01:14:14,560 --> 01:14:17,800
Speaker 1: a team and you have you know, your leader, which

1435
01:14:17,840 --> 01:14:20,160
Speaker 1: he was and a vocal leader and always gave the

1436
01:14:20,160 --> 01:14:24,760
Speaker 1: pep talks. But you know when when your leader inspires

1437
01:14:24,800 --> 01:14:27,120
Speaker 1: everybody and you want to win for him, like you

1438
01:14:27,160 --> 01:14:28,559
Speaker 1: know I was. I wanted to win a super Bowl

1439
01:14:28,640 --> 01:14:31,360
Speaker 1: for me, but I wanted to win one for straight hand, right,

1440
01:14:31,439 --> 01:14:34,400
Speaker 1: fifteen years. Had been to a Super Bowl one other

1441
01:14:34,439 --> 01:14:36,840
Speaker 1: time and lost and never got a U you know,

1442
01:14:36,920 --> 01:14:39,920
Speaker 1: never been a super Bowl champion for a guy who

1443
01:14:40,040 --> 01:14:43,080
Speaker 1: was you know, was obviously going to the Hall of Fame,

1444
01:14:43,200 --> 01:14:45,439
Speaker 1: had been as you know, still holds the record for

1445
01:14:45,840 --> 01:14:49,400
Speaker 1: most sacks in a season, all these all these unbelievable career,

1446
01:14:49,479 --> 01:14:52,920
Speaker 1: but no championship, Like you wanted to do it for him.

1447
01:14:53,040 --> 01:14:57,160
Speaker 1: You wanted to prepare better, play better, and go out

1448
01:14:57,160 --> 01:14:59,120
Speaker 1: there and have your best game so he could you know,

1449
01:14:59,200 --> 01:15:02,240
Speaker 1: kind of walk golf and and have that championship and

1450
01:15:02,400 --> 01:15:03,960
Speaker 1: put a stay up at the end of his career.

1451
01:15:04,320 --> 01:15:06,000
Speaker 1: You know, that's you know, that's kind of how I

1452
01:15:06,040 --> 01:15:09,000
Speaker 1: felt with with Tom. I was trying to get him

1453
01:15:09,040 --> 01:15:11,760
Speaker 1: four and then five. You know, he had so many

1454
01:15:11,800 --> 01:15:14,479
Speaker 1: great things. I just worked so hard to want. I

1455
01:15:14,520 --> 01:15:16,840
Speaker 1: wanted him to be you know that guy and I

1456
01:15:17,600 --> 01:15:20,479
Speaker 1: understand completely how you you feel on that Now, the

1457
01:15:20,479 --> 01:15:26,600
Speaker 1: first half, I mean pretty much bloodbat, defensive battle, turnover sacks,

1458
01:15:27,560 --> 01:15:30,479
Speaker 1: go into halftime. What's the moon in halftime? Yeah, I

1459
01:15:30,479 --> 01:15:32,479
Speaker 1: mean I think we feel good about, you know, where

1460
01:15:32,479 --> 01:15:34,800
Speaker 1: we are. I think this whole, the whole mindset was

1461
01:15:34,840 --> 01:15:37,000
Speaker 1: this hey week. We just got to keep it, you know,

1462
01:15:37,080 --> 01:15:38,920
Speaker 1: we got to keep it close, We got to keep

1463
01:15:38,960 --> 01:15:42,760
Speaker 1: it tight. You know, they you know, they're they're talented.

1464
01:15:43,080 --> 01:15:45,840
Speaker 1: So it's just whether it's scoring a lot or or

1465
01:15:46,040 --> 01:15:47,880
Speaker 1: got to be you know, you never expected it. But

1466
01:15:48,320 --> 01:15:50,920
Speaker 1: it became that defense about our defense was playing great.

1467
01:15:50,960 --> 01:15:53,439
Speaker 1: I think we you know, defense line was getting after

1468
01:15:53,479 --> 01:15:57,880
Speaker 1: Brady's some uh Antonio Pierce defensive a linebacker got the

1469
01:15:57,960 --> 01:16:01,599
Speaker 1: captain of the defense. We were switching things up. If

1470
01:16:01,600 --> 01:16:03,960
Speaker 1: we had you know, a blitz to the right side,

1471
01:16:04,360 --> 01:16:07,400
Speaker 1: and they saw Brady kind of making calls to you know,

1472
01:16:07,560 --> 01:16:10,400
Speaker 1: to pick that up, we had calls to reverse it

1473
01:16:10,439 --> 01:16:12,280
Speaker 1: and bring it the other way. And so they were

1474
01:16:12,360 --> 01:16:15,439
Speaker 1: they were throwing a lot at him and and and

1475
01:16:15,520 --> 01:16:17,280
Speaker 1: doing a great job of kind of you know, the

1476
01:16:17,320 --> 01:16:21,200
Speaker 1: first time, you know, I've never seen our defense do that,

1477
01:16:21,360 --> 01:16:23,680
Speaker 1: or really a defense do that be able to communicate

1478
01:16:23,760 --> 01:16:26,880
Speaker 1: and kind of audible on the defensive side and not

1479
01:16:27,040 --> 01:16:29,880
Speaker 1: just like check the cover too, but like really change

1480
01:16:29,960 --> 01:16:33,040
Speaker 1: up the whole blitz and zone blitz is where defensive

1481
01:16:33,080 --> 01:16:35,519
Speaker 1: ends are dropping out. You know, straight hand was rushing.

1482
01:16:35,560 --> 01:16:37,360
Speaker 1: Now he's got a drop and and talk. But you

1483
01:16:37,400 --> 01:16:39,800
Speaker 1: had smart guys that can handle it. So I think

1484
01:16:39,840 --> 01:16:42,720
Speaker 1: we felt they we're in a good position. But just

1485
01:16:42,800 --> 01:16:45,479
Speaker 1: keep you know, let's keep doing that. Play smart, don't

1486
01:16:45,520 --> 01:16:48,720
Speaker 1: turn the ball over, don't give them anything. And hey,

1487
01:16:48,840 --> 01:16:51,280
Speaker 1: eventually we'll make some of our plays. We'll make some

1488
01:16:51,360 --> 01:16:54,040
Speaker 1: adjustments at halftime. We got to see. But I gotta

1489
01:16:54,040 --> 01:16:55,880
Speaker 1: see what they're gonna do on at you know, the

1490
01:16:55,920 --> 01:16:58,559
Speaker 1: second half, they'll probably have a new plan. So just

1491
01:16:58,640 --> 01:17:02,760
Speaker 1: be be ready to make adjustments again, game of adjustments.

1492
01:17:03,160 --> 01:17:06,120
Speaker 1: Get now, the Cofflin Belichick, they were always you know,

1493
01:17:06,160 --> 01:17:10,000
Speaker 1: they were together on staff in the Giants, Like, did

1494
01:17:10,080 --> 01:17:12,880
Speaker 1: he have anything to tell you personally? Like all right,

1495
01:17:12,920 --> 01:17:16,760
Speaker 1: Bill's gonna try this bullshit or he's gonna do this, like, hey,

1497
01:17:18,880 --> 01:17:22,400
Speaker 1: did he have anything like that? You know, Uh, Conflin

1498
01:17:22,479 --> 01:17:25,680
Speaker 1: just said he's Belichick is always gonna look for an

1499
01:17:25,720 --> 01:17:29,719
Speaker 1: advantage in some way. I mean, there's any any way

1500
01:17:29,800 --> 01:17:36,320
Speaker 1: to get some sort of advantage really character right, and

1501
01:17:36,320 --> 01:17:39,879
Speaker 1: and so you know, and and sometimes it may border

1502
01:17:39,960 --> 01:17:43,160
Speaker 1: on what's you know, what's correct or what's right or

1503
01:17:43,160 --> 01:17:47,000
Speaker 1: what's you know, he can't No, I'm not calling anything

1504

1505
01:17:49,360 --> 01:17:52,560
Speaker 1: with you know, hard work also in preparation. Are you

1506
01:17:52,600 --> 01:17:54,559
Speaker 1: calling Bill just a cheater? Is that what you're saying

1507
01:17:54,640 --> 01:17:57,519
Speaker 1: right now? He's looking for an advantage, And that's just

1508
01:17:57,680 --> 01:18:01,800
Speaker 1: that's sports. He can't help himself just and he does

1509
01:18:01,840 --> 01:18:04,080
Speaker 1: it through hard work. Also, he's not trying to he's

1510
01:18:04,080 --> 01:18:06,519
Speaker 1: not trying to go like the easy way and and

1511
01:18:06,520 --> 01:18:09,880
Speaker 1: and and not do it through preparation. But he just, uh,

1512
01:18:10,280 --> 01:18:13,720
Speaker 1: he wants an edge and and and he's always gonna

1513
01:18:13,760 --> 01:18:16,080
Speaker 1: look for it. And so that's not what I said. Again,

1514
01:18:16,160 --> 01:18:19,880
Speaker 1: that's this is in context. Oh of course, of course,

1515
01:18:19,920 --> 01:18:26,400
Speaker 1: of course Bill Belichick monster, terrible person, Tom Coughlin generous soul.

1516
01:18:26,760 --> 01:18:28,920
Speaker 1: Did he say anything to motivate you guys? He seemed

1517
01:18:28,920 --> 01:18:32,120
Speaker 1: like he was a good motivator. He seemed like he adapted. Yeah,

1518
01:18:32,200 --> 01:18:37,360
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, I mean, I don't know do you

1519
01:18:37,439 --> 01:18:41,599
Speaker 1: ever remember a halftime speech that I really said, Oh yeah,

1520
01:18:41,640 --> 01:18:43,920
Speaker 1: that was it. Now I'm gonna try harder because of

1521
01:18:43,920 --> 01:18:46,160
Speaker 1: that halftime speech. I mean, you're in a super Bowl

1522
01:18:46,400 --> 01:18:48,760
Speaker 1: and you're trying to win a ring. I mean, do

1523
01:18:48,760 --> 01:18:51,360
Speaker 1: you really need to be motivated? What can someone tell

1524
01:18:51,400 --> 01:18:53,519
Speaker 1: you that shouldn't. I mean, I mean, you're already in

1525
01:18:53,560 --> 01:18:57,000
Speaker 1: the biggest moment, and so you know, there's not a

1526
01:18:57,080 --> 01:18:58,840
Speaker 1: whole lot you can say that it's going to be like,

1527
01:18:58,840 --> 01:19:01,400
Speaker 1: all right now, now we're gonna play harder like you're

1528
01:19:01,439 --> 01:19:03,880
Speaker 1: in the moment. It's just really it's really about making

1529
01:19:03,880 --> 01:19:06,320
Speaker 1: those adjustments, getting with your offense coordinator, giveing with your

1530
01:19:06,360 --> 01:19:09,960
Speaker 1: offensive line, running back, spay receiver. Hey we did this,

1531
01:19:10,200 --> 01:19:13,120
Speaker 1: you know, signal already the first half for this. Now

1532
01:19:13,160 --> 01:19:15,040
Speaker 1: let's change it up. Let's go to the second one.

1533
01:19:15,160 --> 01:19:17,160
Speaker 1: So just you know a few things that you're gonna

1534
01:19:17,160 --> 01:19:20,240
Speaker 1: try to do, uh to make a play. Yeah, yeah,

1535
01:19:20,360 --> 01:19:22,679
Speaker 1: it's all about making a play. And they had I mean,

1536
01:19:22,920 --> 01:19:24,599
Speaker 1: they were just trying to keep it close. I mean

1537
01:19:24,600 --> 01:19:26,160
Speaker 1: that's the kind of team they were. They were like

1538
01:19:26,200 --> 01:19:29,479
Speaker 1: a dogfight team. Let's run the ball, let's set up

1539
01:19:29,479 --> 01:19:35,200
Speaker 1: a little run action. Let's play penalty free, turnover free

1540
01:19:35,240 --> 01:19:37,240
Speaker 1: football and let our defense go out win the game.

1541
01:19:37,840 --> 01:19:42,360
Speaker 1: Now two forty five to go. Yeah, in the game,

1542
01:19:45,160 --> 01:19:48,400
Speaker 1: Brady gets to touchdown past the moss yep and Moss

1543
01:19:48,439 --> 01:19:50,600
Speaker 1: had been contained to this point. Moss can take a

1544
01:19:50,640 --> 01:19:54,639
Speaker 1: great game. The guys played him good. Now I'm bringing

1545
01:19:54,640 --> 01:19:59,960
Speaker 1: this up because from there on out every Friday practice

1546
01:20:00,240 --> 01:20:03,000
Speaker 1: I heard Randy Moss. Did you cause when you guys,

1547
01:20:03,240 --> 01:20:05,040
Speaker 1: you guys got the ball back, we had the infamous

1548
01:20:05,560 --> 01:20:08,599
Speaker 1: helmet catch and everything. But it instantly brings me back

1549
01:20:08,640 --> 01:20:11,160
Speaker 1: to the time when you guys threw the touchdown pass.

1550
01:20:11,160 --> 01:20:14,639
Speaker 1: Did you know it was blitz zero? Yeah? Clearly, Yeah, clearly.

1551
01:20:14,840 --> 01:20:17,599
Speaker 1: I had to hear Randy Moss bitch at Dean Peas

1552
01:20:18,280 --> 01:20:22,360
Speaker 1: for three years every Friday practice saying, a Dean, that

1553
01:20:22,400 --> 01:20:26,680
Speaker 1: fucking blitz zero elion Plexico, got that ship, Dean and

1554
01:20:26,880 --> 01:20:30,160
Speaker 1: throw that bullshit out, Like I swear to god, I

1555
01:20:30,200 --> 01:20:33,120
Speaker 1: have nightmares of that. But when you saw Tom go

1556
01:20:33,280 --> 01:20:35,920
Speaker 1: and he goes and drives it, are you like, Oh,

1557
01:20:35,960 --> 01:20:39,960
Speaker 1: this motherfucker, they're gonna, they're gonna, they're gonna service. Were

1558
01:20:40,000 --> 01:20:41,479
Speaker 1: you in that moment? I mean, this is like, this

1559
01:20:41,600 --> 01:20:44,439
Speaker 1: is like whatever I guess football quarterback dreams of, but

1560
01:20:44,439 --> 01:20:46,080
Speaker 1: at the same time, like this is this is a

1561
01:20:46,320 --> 01:20:49,080
Speaker 1: scary stage to do it on. No, man, dude, this

1562
01:20:49,120 --> 01:20:51,599
Speaker 1: is this is this is what you dream of. I mean,

1563
01:20:51,600 --> 01:20:53,920
Speaker 1: this is kind of as a kid in your front yard,

1564
01:20:54,320 --> 01:20:56,479
Speaker 1: you know, walking around with a football. It's like you

1565
01:20:56,600 --> 01:20:58,719
Speaker 1: want to have a two minute drive in a Super

1566
01:20:58,760 --> 01:21:01,360
Speaker 1: Bowl to go win a championship and win a game.

1567
01:21:01,600 --> 01:21:04,000
Speaker 1: And so you know, this is this is why you

1568
01:21:04,479 --> 01:21:08,439
Speaker 1: practice two minute drives. You know. My favorite part of

1569
01:21:08,520 --> 01:21:12,760
Speaker 1: the whole week of our practice and preparation was on Thursdays,

1570
01:21:12,800 --> 01:21:15,920
Speaker 1: we did a live two minute drill versus starting defense.

1571
01:21:15,960 --> 01:21:18,599
Speaker 1: Really the only time we would go kind of ones

1572
01:21:18,680 --> 01:21:22,920
Speaker 1: versus ones, you know, offense versus defense, and you know,

1573
01:21:23,080 --> 01:21:24,960
Speaker 1: and it was just great work. And they might not,

1574
01:21:25,280 --> 01:21:27,800
Speaker 1: you know, technically play the same defense. Is that we

1575
01:21:27,880 --> 01:21:29,840
Speaker 1: might see the game, but it's just good to work

1576
01:21:30,200 --> 01:21:32,200
Speaker 1: on the two minute drive. You're because you're going to

1577
01:21:32,280 --> 01:21:34,439
Speaker 1: run your staple plays like you're gonna run the plays

1578
01:21:34,479 --> 01:21:36,759
Speaker 1: you've run the most and you have a great feel

1579
01:21:36,840 --> 01:21:40,200
Speaker 1: for and it's just practicing scenarios. And sometimes you need

1580
01:21:40,240 --> 01:21:43,120
Speaker 1: a field goal, sometimes you need a touchdown. Sometimes you

1581
01:21:43,160 --> 01:21:45,000
Speaker 1: know you're backed up in your own ten yard line

1582
01:21:45,080 --> 01:21:46,880
Speaker 1: or you out the ball to forty yard line. So

1583
01:21:47,040 --> 01:21:50,000
Speaker 1: every week was different, and so you know, we worked

1584
01:21:50,040 --> 01:21:51,800
Speaker 1: at it. We were always pretty good at it, and

1585
01:21:51,880 --> 01:21:54,240
Speaker 1: so you know we're excited about it. And I remember

1586
01:21:54,280 --> 01:21:56,920
Speaker 1: straighthand he's walking up the sideline saying, hey, the final

1587
01:21:57,040 --> 01:21:59,600
Speaker 1: score is going to be seventeen to fourteen because we

1588
01:21:59,640 --> 01:22:01,439
Speaker 1: needed a you know, we're down four. We could have

1589
01:22:01,520 --> 01:22:04,280
Speaker 1: settled for a field goal. You know, we're down fourteen

1590
01:22:04,320 --> 01:22:06,959
Speaker 1: to ten, so the bottle scores would be seventeen fourteen.

1591
01:22:07,400 --> 01:22:10,000
Speaker 1: And that's it. That's the mindset. And we go out,

1592
01:22:10,080 --> 01:22:12,599
Speaker 1: first play, hit a mini tum or a little curl route,

1593
01:22:13,520 --> 01:22:15,160
Speaker 1: kind of get things going. Would you like to get

1594
01:22:15,160 --> 01:22:17,320
Speaker 1: a complete shit guy? I like to get positive yardage

1595
01:22:17,320 --> 01:22:20,880
Speaker 1: on that first play. You know, Money was so close too,

1596
01:22:21,000 --> 01:22:23,479
Speaker 1: he was, he was so big. We have a fourth down,

1597
01:22:23,560 --> 01:22:26,799
Speaker 1: We have a fourth down call with Brandon ja Brandon Jacobs,

1598
01:22:26,800 --> 01:22:28,960
Speaker 1: a fourth and one where I mean, that thing was close.

1599
01:22:29,000 --> 01:22:31,320
Speaker 1: I mean, and that's I mean, that's that's the unbelievable

1600
01:22:31,360 --> 01:22:34,559
Speaker 1: thing about that was close. Eli, that was What about

1601
01:22:34,560 --> 01:22:36,960
Speaker 1: the holding penalty, Like, did you pay the refs to

1602
01:22:37,320 --> 01:22:40,760
Speaker 1: after paying the holding on the I mean, were they

1603
01:22:40,800 --> 01:22:47,519
Speaker 1: not holding when you made put this jersey? They're pulling

1604
01:22:47,560 --> 01:22:49,559
Speaker 1: on me? But I was you know, you can't call

1605
01:22:49,680 --> 01:22:52,200
Speaker 1: that in a Super Bowl. You can't blow the whistle made.

1606
01:22:52,360 --> 01:22:54,920
Speaker 1: But they do that to keep guys safe. There's no

1607
01:22:55,080 --> 01:22:57,599
Speaker 1: there's no being safe in a Super Bowl. You gonna

1608
01:22:57,640 --> 01:23:01,519
Speaker 1: let the guys play, right, you know. So I think

1609
01:23:01,560 --> 01:23:03,599
Speaker 1: it was good. You know, it was, you know, maybe

1610
01:23:03,640 --> 01:23:06,759
Speaker 1: close to being called, but like not not really, not

1611
01:23:06,760 --> 01:23:09,559
Speaker 1: not in that moment. You gotta let him go and

1612
01:23:09,640 --> 01:23:12,280
Speaker 1: you know, roll out, just throw one deep in you know,

1613
01:23:12,320 --> 01:23:14,280
Speaker 1: whenever you just throw a ball high in the middle

1614
01:23:14,320 --> 01:23:16,880
Speaker 1: of the field to like a crowded area, you know,

1615
01:23:16,960 --> 01:23:19,479
Speaker 1: good things happen. Right when when you're saying, so did

1616
01:23:19,520 --> 01:23:24,000
Speaker 1: you did you literally chuck and pray? Did you chuck

1617
01:23:24,040 --> 01:23:28,000
Speaker 1: and pray? Did chuck and pray? A chucking pray? It

1618
01:23:28,080 --> 01:23:34,000
Speaker 1: was a team meeting to Rodney Harrison. I think Tyree

1619
01:23:34,040 --> 01:23:36,560
Speaker 1: was giving Rodney like a piggyback ride. When I threw it,

1620
01:23:36,640 --> 01:23:39,680
Speaker 1: he was like on the back and uh, you know,

1621
01:23:39,840 --> 01:23:42,040
Speaker 1: throw it and of course he you know, catches it

1622
01:23:42,080 --> 01:23:44,080
Speaker 1: off the helmet and it's just I mean, I didn't

1623
01:23:44,080 --> 01:23:45,280
Speaker 1: know if he caught it. I didn't know if it

1624
01:23:45,360 --> 01:23:48,360
Speaker 1: hit the ground. I mean, it was just, uh, you know,

1625
01:23:48,400 --> 01:23:51,240
Speaker 1: it's not the ideal situation. It's not that's not That's

1626
01:23:51,280 --> 01:23:53,640
Speaker 1: not how you imagine it as a kid, kind of

1627
01:23:53,640 --> 01:23:56,720
Speaker 1: going on the two minute drives, like almost getting sat

1628
01:23:56,880 --> 01:23:59,679
Speaker 1: rolling out. Being third and five, you're running out of time,

1629
01:23:59,720 --> 01:24:02,520
Speaker 1: and it's it's more a little bit of a desperation

1630
01:24:02,680 --> 01:24:05,200
Speaker 1: if I throw it away. It's fourth and five. You know,

1631
01:24:05,240 --> 01:24:07,360
Speaker 1: we got to get some yard. We're running out of

1632
01:24:07,400 --> 01:24:09,160
Speaker 1: time here, we got to get a chunk, and so

1633
01:24:09,640 --> 01:24:12,439
Speaker 1: saw ty Reid has said, I gotta give him a chance,

1634
01:24:12,560 --> 01:24:16,120
Speaker 1: and you know he made the play. Did you did

1635
01:24:16,160 --> 01:24:17,479
Speaker 1: you think when you when he made that, You're like,

1636
01:24:17,479 --> 01:24:19,000
Speaker 1: we're going to win this game? Did that? Was that

1637
01:24:19,160 --> 01:24:21,559
Speaker 1: just no? Because I mean that's I think a lot

1638
01:24:21,600 --> 01:24:23,280
Speaker 1: of people say that and they're like, oh, as soon

1639
01:24:23,280 --> 01:24:25,519
Speaker 1: as we made that play, I knew we're gonna win.

1640
01:24:25,560 --> 01:24:27,479
Speaker 1: I'm like, I didn't know. I mean, how was that?

1641
01:24:27,880 --> 01:24:29,519
Speaker 1: You know, we still had we still had to score

1642
01:24:29,520 --> 01:24:32,759
Speaker 1: a touchdown. We still needed twenty five more yards, thirty

1643
01:24:32,760 --> 01:24:34,880
Speaker 1: more yards, and so you know, we still had to

1644
01:24:34,960 --> 01:24:37,880
Speaker 1: make a third down conversion. Hits Steve Smith on a

1645
01:24:37,920 --> 01:24:41,320
Speaker 1: few plays, and you know the Patriots has played like

1646
01:24:41,400 --> 01:24:43,760
Speaker 1: in that in that scenario kind of in the red

1647
01:24:43,880 --> 01:24:47,200
Speaker 1: zone two minute they played. You know, they played quarters coverage,

1648
01:24:47,280 --> 01:24:50,519
Speaker 1: quarters coverage, and eventually they're going to come out all

1649
01:24:50,560 --> 01:24:53,360
Speaker 1: out zero. So he kept going trips right and kind

1650
01:24:53,360 --> 01:24:55,600
Speaker 1: of having a good play verse zone and quarters to

1651
01:24:55,640 --> 01:24:58,439
Speaker 1: the three receiver side, and we just had Plexico, you know,

1652
01:24:58,520 --> 01:25:00,880
Speaker 1: just kept putting him on a on a face and

1653
01:25:00,960 --> 01:25:02,800
Speaker 1: we just said, hey, you know there, if they come

1654
01:25:02,800 --> 01:25:05,479
Speaker 1: out blitzer, we're gonna work the fade. They'll probably be off.

1655
01:25:05,680 --> 01:25:07,360
Speaker 1: If you want, you can give a little slant move,

1656
01:25:07,720 --> 01:25:10,800
Speaker 1: maybe get them to jump. And you know, finally they

1657
01:25:10,840 --> 01:25:14,439
Speaker 1: came with the all out blitz and yeah, the corner

1658
01:25:14,600 --> 01:25:16,479
Speaker 1: kind of you know a lot of times, you know,

1659
01:25:16,600 --> 01:25:19,240
Speaker 1: we used to have like a hot adjustment. You know,

1660
01:25:19,320 --> 01:25:21,880
Speaker 1: if they blitzed, you know, you could run a quick slant,

1661
01:25:22,000 --> 01:25:23,960
Speaker 1: and so he kind of gave the little slant move.

1662
01:25:24,600 --> 01:25:26,760
Speaker 1: You know, he got six six on five seven, and

1663
01:25:26,880 --> 01:25:29,200
Speaker 1: Hobbs I was just kinda I threw it really before

1664
01:25:29,240 --> 01:25:30,960
Speaker 1: he made the break because I know they got one

1665
01:25:30,960 --> 01:25:33,479
Speaker 1: more coming than we can block, so just throw it high,

1666
01:25:33,600 --> 01:25:35,479
Speaker 1: really kind of throwing a jump ball where he could

1667
01:25:35,520 --> 01:25:38,559
Speaker 1: his body up and you know, I didn't know he

1668
01:25:38,600 --> 01:25:42,360
Speaker 1: was gonna be open by seven yards. All fun aside

1669
01:25:42,720 --> 01:25:45,640
Speaker 1: that that was. That was pretty cool to see. You know,

1670
01:25:45,680 --> 01:25:49,360
Speaker 1: I'm an underdog guy myself, to see someone like you

1671
01:25:49,600 --> 01:25:54,040
Speaker 1: Eli Manning come in there against against the world everyone, everyone,

1672
01:25:54,040 --> 01:25:55,599
Speaker 1: No one thought you guys were gonna win that game,

1673
01:25:55,840 --> 01:25:58,720
Speaker 1: and you proved everyone wrong. Man, And that's that'll be

1674
01:25:59,200 --> 01:26:02,479
Speaker 1: probably one of the best wins as a competitor you

1675
01:26:02,520 --> 01:26:06,639
Speaker 1: could ever have when you go and you prove everyone wrong.

1676
01:26:07,920 --> 01:26:12,120
Speaker 1: Eat it New England. That's what you basically said. And no, wait,

1677
01:26:12,400 --> 01:26:14,720
Speaker 1: and you know, and you know, I mean obviously, uh.

1678
01:26:14,960 --> 01:26:16,519
Speaker 1: I mean you've been around the time of a bunch

1679
01:26:16,520 --> 01:26:18,400
Speaker 1: and I've been around them and I never I never

1680
01:26:18,520 --> 01:26:21,800
Speaker 1: mentioned either, you know, that game to them. You know

1681
01:26:22,400 --> 01:26:25,679
Speaker 1: it would be awesome. I mean, I mean, the guy's

1682
01:26:25,680 --> 01:26:31,640
Speaker 1: got six MVPs and seven super buch kryptonite. I know.

1683
01:26:31,760 --> 01:26:34,040
Speaker 1: But but I'm just saying, he brings it up. He

1684
01:26:34,160 --> 01:26:37,000
Speaker 1: brings it up like it still bothers him, like that game,

1685
01:26:37,280 --> 01:26:40,559
Speaker 1: especially that one. Just because they win that game, they

1686
01:26:40,600 --> 01:26:43,719
Speaker 1: go down as the greatest team in the history of NFL.

1687
01:26:44,400 --> 01:26:48,120
Speaker 1: And and they you know, they can't say that because

1688
01:26:48,120 --> 01:26:51,000
Speaker 1: the Dolphins still have that undefeated season. And I got

1689
01:26:51,000 --> 01:26:54,519
Speaker 1: more letters from old Dolphins players and coaches, and every

1690
01:26:54,520 --> 01:26:57,400
Speaker 1: time I saw them they thank me because like, and

1691
01:26:57,920 --> 01:27:02,160
Speaker 1: I see Brady's like that freaking you know, seven season

1692
01:27:02,360 --> 01:27:06,280
Speaker 1: super Bowl, Like yeah, like it hurts them still, which

1693
01:27:06,320 --> 01:27:08,000
Speaker 1: is god Like. I kind of like having that. I

1694
01:27:08,120 --> 01:27:10,559
Speaker 1: like that part of it. So you said this is

1695
01:27:10,560 --> 01:27:13,599
Speaker 1: the greatest team of all time? That the Patriots team?

1696
01:27:13,640 --> 01:27:17,479
Speaker 1: You said that, I mean, they you guys win, are you?

1697
01:27:18,520 --> 01:27:20,559
Speaker 1: They would have gone down they win that game? So

1698
01:27:20,800 --> 01:27:23,439
Speaker 1: are the Giants the greatest? Are is your Giants team

1699
01:27:23,439 --> 01:27:25,840
Speaker 1: the greatest football team in the history of the NFL? Now? No,

1700
01:27:25,880 --> 01:27:33,240
Speaker 1: the seventy one, right, seventy seventy two Dolphins. That's you know,

1701
01:27:33,320 --> 01:27:37,960
Speaker 1: they're the only undefeated team to go to a whole

1702
01:27:38,000 --> 01:27:41,040
Speaker 1: whole season and win a championship. And so I mean,

1703
01:27:41,160 --> 01:27:44,559
Speaker 1: if if the Patriots win that game, they could say

1704
01:27:44,560 --> 01:27:46,800
Speaker 1: that and they would have been the greatest, they're not

1705
01:27:46,880 --> 01:27:49,720
Speaker 1: the greatest. And since they're not the greatest, and we

1706
01:27:49,720 --> 01:27:51,960
Speaker 1: didn't beat the greatest, they did not make us the greatest.

1707
01:27:51,960 --> 01:27:54,120
Speaker 1: We were the greatest team that season. We were the

1708
01:27:54,120 --> 01:27:58,680
Speaker 1: best team that season because we happen to win that game. Now,

1709
01:27:58,680 --> 01:28:00,120
Speaker 1: do you guys go to have like a Barbie you

1716
01:28:21,000 --> 01:28:24,599

01:28:24,720 --> 01:28:28,080
Speaker 1: Brady having looking Yeah, a good looking guy. And they're

1722
01:28:40,560 --> 01:28:43,920

Speaker 1: can we get can we get that T shirt made up?

1724

01:31:12,760 --> 01:31:14,760
Speaker 1: the Giants and what we were going through and kind

1769
01:31:14,760 --> 01:31:17,400
Speaker 1: of was on that ride with us. Is your brother

1770
01:31:17,439 --> 01:31:19,760
Speaker 1: a little? Is Peyton a little He's got to be

1771
01:31:19,760 --> 01:31:22,840
Speaker 1: a little jealous about your record against Tom. I mean,

1772
01:31:22,880 --> 01:31:25,360
Speaker 1: I know Peyton's knocked us out of a few AFC

1773
01:31:25,520 --> 01:31:28,320
Speaker 1: championships and all that, but like, you really are the

1774
01:31:28,360 --> 01:31:33,000
Speaker 1: kryptonite to Brady, Like, do you ever feel that he's

1775
01:31:33,040 --> 01:31:35,760
Speaker 1: a little jealous of you? Peyton? No, I don't think.

1776
01:31:35,840 --> 01:31:38,719
Speaker 1: I think Peyton No, I think maybe for a little

1777
01:31:38,720 --> 01:31:41,360
Speaker 1: bit because kind of early on, like he couldn't he

1778
01:31:41,439 --> 01:31:44,040
Speaker 1: couldn't you know, beat him. But then it kind of

1779
01:31:44,120 --> 01:31:46,240
Speaker 1: it kind of even out with the Denvery knocked him out,

1780
01:31:46,320 --> 01:31:50,240
Speaker 1: you know, knocking out of a couple ANFC championships in

1781
01:31:50,439 --> 01:31:54,480
Speaker 1: Indianapolis and O six you know, they won that AFC

1782
01:31:54,560 --> 01:31:57,840
Speaker 1: comeback Championship game down a bunch. So I think it

1783
01:31:57,920 --> 01:32:02,479
Speaker 1: all kind of eventually played out. Well. We appreciate you

1784
01:32:02,560 --> 01:32:05,880
Speaker 1: coming on, bro, No appreciate it. It's a pleasure having you.

1787
01:32:14,439 --> 01:32:18,479
Speaker 1: I mean just every day, uh, just getting after tough catches,

1788
01:32:18,520 --> 01:32:21,280
Speaker 1: you know about making a big time awesome catch at

1789
01:32:21,320 --> 01:32:24,519
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl, so you know, it all kind of even.

1790
01:32:24,600 --> 01:32:26,439
Speaker 1: It all kind of evens out. We made one, you

1791
01:32:26,560 --> 01:32:29,599
Speaker 1: made one. It all works out. I guess he made

1792
01:32:29,600 --> 01:32:32,800
Speaker 1: a couple more against us, though, so we'll leave it

1793
01:32:32,840 --> 01:32:37,000
Speaker 1: at that. Yeah, he's lovable. He's the man. He's lovable

1794
01:32:37,080 --> 01:32:41,400
Speaker 1: New York Royalty, a true New York legend and a

1795
01:32:41,479 --> 01:32:44,120
Speaker 1: gentleman as well. He's my favorite meaning for a reason.

Speaker 1: All right, Okay, sorry Archie, sorry Coop, sorry Peyton. He's great.

1797
01:32:50,439 --> 01:32:54,080
Speaker 1: I mean he deserves it, really a special he deserves

1798
01:32:54,120 --> 01:32:57,000
Speaker 1: that one. Well in twenty eleven, he didn't deserve that one.

1799
01:32:57,880 --> 01:33:00,479
Speaker 1: I agree to disagree. He's a New York legend for

1800
01:33:00,479 --> 01:33:03,080
Speaker 1: a reason. That that is the hot. You can't go

1801
01:33:03,160 --> 01:33:05,880
Speaker 1: any higher than that going against a Boston team that

1802
01:33:05,960 --> 01:33:08,800
Speaker 1: was eighteen and oh, like you just can't. You can't

1803
01:33:08,840 --> 01:33:12,160
Speaker 1: go any higher. Eli, He he was clutch as hell,

1804
01:33:13,280 --> 01:33:16,240
Speaker 1: he really was. And you know, I think he's going

1805
01:33:16,320 --> 01:33:17,479
Speaker 1: to be a Hall of Famer. He should be in

1806
01:33:17,479 --> 01:33:19,360
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame. I think you and he should

1807
01:33:19,360 --> 01:33:21,360
Speaker 1: both be in the Hall of Fame. And I enjoyed

1808
01:33:21,360 --> 01:33:24,320
Speaker 1: watching the mutual respect right there. I like seeing him

1809
01:33:24,360 --> 01:33:26,920
Speaker 1: say like, yeah, like the way you competed, that's that's

1810
01:33:26,920 --> 01:33:30,960
Speaker 1: cool for me to see. Yeah, that was just him

1811
01:33:30,960 --> 01:33:34,880
Speaker 1: being nice because he took my come on, man, my

1812
01:33:35,000 --> 01:33:39,800
Speaker 1: soul in a Super Bowl? Should we should we go

1813
01:33:39,840 --> 01:33:43,280
Speaker 1: through the prop bet from what we hit on that.

1814
01:33:43,439 --> 01:33:47,360
Speaker 1: I all right, so I fanboyd. I was three under

1815
01:33:47,360 --> 01:33:49,599
Speaker 1: for the fanboying. I mean you got to count these

1816
01:33:49,640 --> 01:33:52,640
Speaker 1: as too though. This right here, now we count the

1817
01:33:52,720 --> 01:33:55,559
Speaker 1: jersey in the hat. It was a push, all right.

1818
01:33:55,840 --> 01:33:59,519
Speaker 1: Mister Simms was he was. He was well represented in

1819
01:33:59,560 --> 01:34:04,320
Speaker 1: this eight over. Mister Simms, you really were You're really philating.

1820
01:34:04,360 --> 01:34:08,320
Speaker 1: Mister s was six damn six field. Simms mentions. We counted,

1821
01:34:08,360 --> 01:34:12,479
Speaker 1: so we cruised to the over. Wow, hey, you know

1822
01:34:13,520 --> 01:34:16,559
Speaker 1: you got to give respect to respect is earned. Mister

1823
01:34:16,600 --> 01:34:19,960
Speaker 1: Simms gets it, he does get it. What's the legacy

1824
01:34:20,000 --> 01:34:23,040
Speaker 1: for this game? I mean this is to me, this

1825
01:34:23,120 --> 01:34:27,720
Speaker 1: is Brady looking human once even though he did make

1826
01:34:27,760 --> 01:34:30,599
Speaker 1: the drive at the end, it was like, oh wow,

1827
01:34:30,640 --> 01:34:34,599
Speaker 1: you can beat Tom Brady. Yeah, I mean the legacy

1828
01:34:34,960 --> 01:34:37,120
Speaker 1: is this is gonna go down. This will always be

1829
01:34:37,160 --> 01:34:40,920
Speaker 1: remembered because, just like Eli was saying, this could have

1830
01:34:40,920 --> 01:34:43,280
Speaker 1: been the best team in the history of the National

1831
01:34:43,320 --> 01:34:47,840
Speaker 1: Football League and arguably in sport like the way they

1832
01:34:47,840 --> 01:34:51,639
Speaker 1: were blowing people out, and the way they played Brady

1833
01:34:51,680 --> 01:34:55,360
Speaker 1: to Moss. They were humiliating teams Brady de Welker, Brady

1834
01:34:55,360 --> 01:34:58,680
Speaker 1: de Dante, Stalwarth, Brady the Falk like they had an

1835
01:34:58,760 --> 01:35:03,200
Speaker 1: all star team. This has gotta be I mean, I've

1836
01:35:04,360 --> 01:35:06,559
Speaker 1: I don't know if I've heard it, but I feel

1837
01:35:06,600 --> 01:35:11,160
Speaker 1: Brady would give up two super Bowls for this one. Really,

1838
01:35:12,720 --> 01:35:14,680
Speaker 1: I feel he would give up two super Bowls for

1839
01:35:14,720 --> 01:35:17,960
Speaker 1: this one super Bowl. That's he'd still be at five.

1840
01:35:18,240 --> 01:35:20,519
Speaker 1: That's actually a great question for him. Yeah, he'd still

1841
01:35:20,520 --> 01:35:23,600
Speaker 1: be at Foy at six, right because you know he

1842
01:35:23,720 --> 01:35:25,800
Speaker 1: is seven right now. Yeah, but if you give up

1843
01:35:25,800 --> 01:35:27,840
Speaker 1: two and you get one back six. I'm not a

1844
01:35:27,840 --> 01:35:32,519
Speaker 1: math guy. Neither are researchers apparently us that was that

1845
01:35:32,640 --> 01:35:36,439
Speaker 1: was terrible. Yeah, yeah, no six, But I think it's

1846
01:35:36,439 --> 01:35:39,200
Speaker 1: important to have seven for him because Jordan has six

1847
01:35:39,240 --> 01:35:41,599
Speaker 1: and when you look at the actual seven is such

1848
01:35:41,600 --> 01:35:44,280
Speaker 1: an impressive number. So I'll tell you a story. Yeah,

1849
01:35:44,320 --> 01:35:47,920
Speaker 1: it's like twenty fourteen, the offseason. Me and Brady are

1850
01:35:47,920 --> 01:35:51,559
Speaker 1: training in La at his gym, and he has he

1851
01:35:51,640 --> 01:35:56,280
Speaker 1: has the location of where the Super Bowl is on

1852
01:35:56,320 --> 01:36:00,360
Speaker 1: his whiteboard in his home gym. Wow, and it's like

1853
01:36:00,479 --> 01:36:04,400
Speaker 1: march and I'm like, what is that? He said, you know,

1854
01:36:04,479 --> 01:36:07,439
Speaker 1: that's where we're gonna go play the last game. I go,

1855
01:36:08,120 --> 01:36:11,120
Speaker 1: we're gonna we're gonna get you to pass Joe bro

1856
01:36:11,200 --> 01:36:14,000
Speaker 1: We're gonna get you to pass Joe Montana because at four,

1857
01:36:14,080 --> 01:36:16,640
Speaker 1: you know, four sembles he goes. He looks at me

1858
01:36:16,680 --> 01:36:23,519
Speaker 1: with like that golden stare of those sizzling steel blue eyes,

1859
01:36:24,400 --> 01:36:29,920
Speaker 1: with a very tight chin and says, I'm not going

1860
01:36:29,960 --> 01:36:34,959
Speaker 1: for Montana. I'm going for Jordan. Wow. That was three

1861
01:36:35,000 --> 01:36:39,080
Speaker 1: before he was even like, that was three before he

1862
01:36:39,120 --> 01:36:43,040
Speaker 1: was there. Wow, that's crazy. And he he I guess

1863
01:36:43,120 --> 01:36:45,920
Speaker 1: if you see it, you can be it. Yeah, he's

1864
01:36:45,920 --> 01:36:48,760
Speaker 1: done it. He willed it. He willed it, and that's

1865
01:36:48,760 --> 01:36:51,720
Speaker 1: something you know, you see. But the long term implications

1866
01:36:51,720 --> 01:36:53,880
Speaker 1: of this, say Brady goes out and wins this, and

1867
01:36:53,920 --> 01:36:56,160
Speaker 1: the team goes out and wins this, will he have

1868
01:36:56,320 --> 01:37:02,240
Speaker 1: that same motivation, that same killer, just him being a killer, Like,

1869
01:37:02,720 --> 01:37:05,719
Speaker 1: you can't, I can't picture Tom Brady at half speed.

1870
01:37:06,520 --> 01:37:09,759
Speaker 1: He's not a complacent guy. N you know, he retired

1871
01:37:09,800 --> 01:37:11,160
Speaker 1: for like a month and he was like I can

1872
01:37:11,439 --> 01:37:15,120
Speaker 1: I can't, you know, he's playing too well. And that's yeah,

1873
01:37:15,800 --> 01:37:17,639
Speaker 1: you know the way he takes care of his body,

1874
01:37:17,680 --> 01:37:20,719
Speaker 1: the way he prepares. She's got that template down. Now

1875
01:37:20,960 --> 01:37:22,840
Speaker 1: do you ever try that diet he does? What is

1876
01:37:22,880 --> 01:37:25,040
Speaker 1: it like no seeds or something? Not too much of

1877
01:37:25,040 --> 01:37:27,240
Speaker 1: a foodie. I'm a foodie, but when I was playing,

1878
01:37:27,280 --> 01:37:29,960
Speaker 1: I was actually real disciplined with my food. Really, Yeah,

1879
01:37:30,120 --> 01:37:32,800
Speaker 1: you weren't like Brandon Marshall or McDonald's every day No.

1880
01:37:32,960 --> 01:37:37,000
Speaker 1: I used. I used to use a lot of the

1881
01:37:37,040 --> 01:37:41,040
Speaker 1: TB twelve methods. But then like when it said you

1882
01:37:41,040 --> 01:37:46,360
Speaker 1: couldn't like eat tomatoes or like pepper, no pizza, I

1883
01:37:46,400 --> 01:37:48,879
Speaker 1: don't know red pepper. I mean I think red pepper

1884
01:37:49,040 --> 01:37:51,800
Speaker 1: like a like a bell pepper. You know you're healthy

1885
01:37:51,800 --> 01:37:54,640
Speaker 1: when you're cutting out peppers. Do you know what the

1886
01:37:54,640 --> 01:37:57,240
Speaker 1: rest of the country looks like? Have you seen the

1887
01:37:57,280 --> 01:37:59,519
Speaker 1: rest of America? Can you imagine being like, I don't

1888
01:37:59,520 --> 01:38:03,400
Speaker 1: do pepper. I'm not on a I mean I was

1889
01:38:03,439 --> 01:38:05,840
Speaker 1: on a comedy club diet for like ten years where

1890
01:38:05,880 --> 01:38:07,960
Speaker 1: I was like, yes, I'll have the mazzarella sticks on

1891
01:38:08,000 --> 01:38:11,120
Speaker 1: the side. This dude's cutting out peppers. I'm such a pig.

1892
01:38:11,520 --> 01:38:14,120
Speaker 1: I mean, that's why he looks like he's gotten better looking.

1893
01:38:14,200 --> 01:38:17,000
Speaker 1: He looks younger. That's money too, Yeah, I guess that

1894
01:38:17,120 --> 01:38:20,400
Speaker 1: is money. Does have a lot of money. Hotel inspired condo.

1895
01:38:20,520 --> 01:38:23,640
Speaker 1: That's pretty badass. Yeah. Like did he get like a

1896
01:38:23,640 --> 01:38:25,800
Speaker 1: concierge in the front two? Oh yeah, I mean he

1897
01:38:25,880 --> 01:38:29,120
Speaker 1: got full doorman? Love it full doorman. I wish she

1898
01:38:29,160 --> 01:38:31,400
Speaker 1: still had that play room service. If I find a

1899
01:38:31,439 --> 01:38:36,240
Speaker 1: tomato on this burger, you're a fucking dead man. Definitely had,

1900
01:38:36,320 --> 01:38:38,080
Speaker 1: you know, he definitely had the chefs and stuff. I

1901
01:38:38,120 --> 01:38:41,439
Speaker 1: mean he's what's what's tom eating? Like? He's not doing tomatoes? Like,

1902
01:38:41,479 --> 01:38:43,840

Speaker 1: you know, like he has like a couple berries berries. Yeah,

1904
01:38:50,560 --> 01:38:55,160
Speaker 1: the hell, I don't know, bro, it's crazy. Don't let

Speaker 1: him lie. Bro every like at Friday, like or a

1906
01:38:58,960 --> 01:39:02,400
Speaker 1: night before game, like he'll have his like his own meal,

1907
01:39:03,240 --> 01:39:06,680
Speaker 1: like a TB twelve like meal that's prepped for him

1908
01:39:06,720 --> 01:39:09,360
Speaker 1: by our chefs. They'll have like his little t B

01:39:09,520 --> 01:39:13,559
Speaker 1: twelve on the plate and he goes over and he'll

01:39:13,560 --> 01:39:16,360
Speaker 1: eat it and then if no one's looking, he'll you

Speaker 1: eat him while no one's looking at him, like two wings.

1914
01:39:26,439 --> 01:39:29,040
Speaker 1: He loves wings. You know this dude's discipline when him

1915
01:39:29,080 --> 01:39:31,519
Speaker 1: falling off, it's like he had two wings last night.

1916
01:39:32,400 --> 01:39:34,280
Speaker 1: Little do you know what Lawrence Taylor was putting in

1917
01:39:34,280 --> 01:39:37,400
Speaker 1: his body? I love it like the giants of like

1918
01:39:37,439 --> 01:39:40,479
Speaker 1: the nineties. I think like Babe Ruth old school players

1919
01:39:40,560 --> 01:39:44,519
Speaker 1: like that they're living on hotdogs, cigarettes. They were smoking cigarettes.

1920
01:39:44,520 --> 01:39:47,439
Speaker 1: And Tom Brady's like, I fell off hard the other night. Guys,

1921
01:39:48,160 --> 01:39:50,280
Speaker 1: I had two wings. You guys are like, yeah, dude,

1922
01:39:50,600 --> 01:39:52,720
Speaker 1: you're allowed to have two wings. He's a wing guy.

1923
01:39:52,760 --> 01:39:55,920
Speaker 1: He likes wings. Who is who doesn't love wings? No,

1924
01:39:56,040 --> 01:39:58,720
Speaker 1: but he's specifically like our hotel wings are like these

1925
01:39:58,760 --> 01:40:03,760
Speaker 1: breaded wings, hot hot wings. Chicken when there was a

1926
01:40:03,840 --> 01:40:07,040
Speaker 1: there's a buffalo one and then there's like a plain one.

1927
01:40:07,200 --> 01:40:08,360
Speaker 1: Everyone will go to the plane when it's like a

1928
01:40:08,360 --> 01:40:11,559
Speaker 1: little fried chicken. Mmm. He'd been on those Bad Boys

1929
01:40:13,000 --> 01:40:15,760
Speaker 1: TV twelve. Die in my butt. I love picturing Tom

1930
01:40:15,760 --> 01:40:20,320
Speaker 1: Brady sneaking fried chicken or orange or he does or

1931
01:40:20,360 --> 01:40:23,400
Speaker 1: he'll take a bite of something and then like spit

1932
01:40:23,520 --> 01:40:26,679
Speaker 1: it out. He just wanted a tasty Are you accusing

1933
01:40:26,760 --> 01:40:32,040
Speaker 1: Tom of having an eating disorder? No? No, that's amazing,

1934
01:40:32,160 --> 01:40:35,040
Speaker 1: that's crazy. Well did we did we forget anything? Jack?

1935
01:40:35,760 --> 01:40:38,200
Speaker 1: We were pretty clean that episode, Sam, You were correct.

1936
01:40:38,520 --> 01:40:41,760
Speaker 1: Rodney Harrison was suspended the first four games of that

1937
01:40:41,760 --> 01:40:44,800
Speaker 1: two thousand and seven season. Got it correct, Eli, He

1938
01:40:44,880 --> 01:40:48,200
Speaker 1: undersold that first drive actually was nine minutes and fifty

1939
01:40:48,320 --> 01:40:51,519
Speaker 1: nine seconds, sixteen plays, sixty three yards. It ended in

1940
01:40:51,600 --> 01:40:54,559
Speaker 1: a field goal. The seventy two Dolphins were the last

1941
01:40:54,640 --> 01:40:58,120
Speaker 1: undefeated team, and Bloomberg was actually the mayor and No. Seven.

1942
01:40:58,640 --> 01:41:00,639
Speaker 1: But who knows. Rudy still could have been. Rudy still

1943
01:41:00,640 --> 01:41:03,720
Speaker 1: could have flash his titties still possible. Wiener whipped his

1944
01:41:03,760 --> 01:41:07,320
Speaker 1: dick out at the next one. How about a Wiener

1945
01:41:07,720 --> 01:41:11,080
Speaker 1: and he's a dick guy? Isn't that weird? Is that

1946
01:41:11,160 --> 01:41:14,000
Speaker 1: really weird? Off he made off with money? Is it

1947
01:41:14,040 --> 01:41:16,360
Speaker 1: really that weird? Or is it like if your last

1948
01:41:16,400 --> 01:41:19,040
Speaker 1: names Wien or you're just fucked. You're just like, I'm

1949
01:41:19,080 --> 01:41:21,799
Speaker 1: going to send people dig pics. That's my name. Hopefully

1950
01:41:22,240 --> 01:41:23,960
Speaker 1: you have a big dick if you have a Wiener

1951
01:41:24,000 --> 01:41:25,320
Speaker 1: as a last I think he was doing okay, I

1952
01:41:25,360 --> 01:41:28,760
Speaker 1: don't remember the picture. How was he doing? I mean,

1953
01:41:28,840 --> 01:41:30,479
Speaker 1: he's doing horribly in his marriage, so I hope he's

1954
01:41:30,479 --> 01:41:35,120
Speaker 1: doing okay with his penis. They don't correlate, they don't,

1955
01:41:35,240 --> 01:41:37,600
Speaker 1: they don't. Not a good move. Now, what do we

1956
01:41:37,640 --> 01:41:40,599
Speaker 1: name this game? This is either the eighteen and one

1957
01:41:40,720 --> 01:41:43,200
Speaker 1: or the eighteen wins in one giant loss. In my opinion,

1958
01:41:43,280 --> 01:41:46,200
Speaker 1: he want either one of those helmet catch. The helmet

1959
01:41:46,200 --> 01:41:48,519
Speaker 1: catch works too, But for me, it's like that was

1960
01:41:48,560 --> 01:41:52,240
Speaker 1: an incredible play, but it's bigger than just that incredible play.

1961
01:41:52,280 --> 01:41:55,839
Speaker 1: It's like it's an incredible game. That play was insane,

1962
01:41:56,200 --> 01:41:59,479
Speaker 1: but to beat this team as really what I remember

1963
01:41:59,560 --> 01:42:03,160
Speaker 1: as a sports fan. I really think Eli Maney may

1964
01:42:03,160 --> 01:42:08,960
Speaker 1: have paid the refs in Samwals seriously, I mean he

1965
01:42:09,040 --> 01:42:13,800
Speaker 1: dropped it. He was wide open, dude holding. I think

1966
01:42:13,880 --> 01:42:16,160
Speaker 1: Rodney Harrison paid someone to get back in so early.

1967
01:42:16,200 --> 01:42:17,720
Speaker 1: How the hell did they let this dude? He was

1968
01:42:17,720 --> 01:42:20,839
Speaker 1: still jacked, he was still yacked up on Royd's. It's insane.

1969
01:42:22,400 --> 01:42:25,639
Speaker 1: Rodney Harrison was already terrifying. This dude's putting a needle

1970
01:42:25,640 --> 01:42:28,040
Speaker 1: in his butt to make himself stronger. I can't wait

1971
01:42:28,120 --> 01:42:30,240
Speaker 1: till we get him on here. And so then we're

1972
01:42:30,240 --> 01:42:33,599
Speaker 1: going to play back everything you just said to him

1973
01:42:34,040 --> 01:42:36,960
Speaker 1: while while we interview here. As long as it's on zoom,

1974
01:42:36,960 --> 01:42:39,400
Speaker 1: I'm okay with this. We're gonna have Minch Studio on

1975
01:42:39,439 --> 01:42:41,920
Speaker 1: this one. Let's give it. Let's let's give this bad

1976
01:42:41,920 --> 01:42:45,080
Speaker 1: boy a score stakes for me. It's like, I know

1977
01:42:45,120 --> 01:42:46,519
Speaker 1: you don't want to give out. This is at least

1978
01:42:46,560 --> 01:42:48,640
Speaker 1: a nine to five. You can't get higher than this.

1979
01:42:48,680 --> 01:42:53,360
Speaker 1: It's New York versus Boston. I mean, if we're allowed

1980
01:42:53,400 --> 01:42:56,599
Speaker 1: to do I'm going nine to eight. I mean, it's

1981
01:42:56,600 --> 01:42:58,679
Speaker 1: gotta be in. It's gotta be up there, star power.

1982
01:42:59,600 --> 01:43:01,600
Speaker 1: It's up there, dude, because you look at all the

1983
01:43:01,720 --> 01:43:04,280
Speaker 1: names in this straight Han is a huge name, huge name.

1984
01:43:04,320 --> 01:43:08,519
Speaker 1: I mean, the guy is basically Oprah now is He's

1985
01:43:08,520 --> 01:43:13,000
Speaker 1: everywhere on TV. Yeah, Eli's the biggest athlete in New

1986
01:43:13,040 --> 01:43:19,080
Speaker 1: York since Jeter. Yeah, Pierce Pierce was great, talk Ocu

1987
01:43:19,120 --> 01:43:24,160
Speaker 1: Minora and then of course everyone. I mean you got Belichick, Coughlin, Brady,

1988
01:43:24,439 --> 01:43:29,280
Speaker 1: those are you know, Randy Moss, Welker. This is gonna

1989
01:43:29,280 --> 01:43:31,280
Speaker 1: be a nine eight, nine eight, all right, We're going

1990
01:43:31,320 --> 01:43:35,160
Speaker 1: to nine eight's love it gameplay, dude. I'm going high

1991
01:43:35,240 --> 01:43:38,559
Speaker 1: on this too, are you? Because the fourth quarter is

1992
01:43:38,560 --> 01:43:40,920
Speaker 1: really what it's all about, and it's an incredible fourth quarter.

1993
01:43:41,360 --> 01:43:43,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I like dog fights. I like the dog

1994
01:43:44,000 --> 01:43:46,280
Speaker 1: fight it was. It was a dog fight that first

1995
01:43:46,320 --> 01:43:49,120
Speaker 1: half when you go in. It was his three seven

1996
01:43:49,280 --> 01:43:51,040
Speaker 1: three seven three at the end of the half, and

1997
01:43:51,080 --> 01:43:53,720
Speaker 1: I believe Yeah, I mean I think that's a that's

1998
01:43:53,720 --> 01:43:55,679
Speaker 1: a This is the super Bowl. So if you're going

1999
01:43:55,680 --> 01:43:58,000
Speaker 1: as a whole, the fourth quarter is like a nine

2000
01:43:58,040 --> 01:43:59,800
Speaker 1: point eight. But if we're going as a whole, what

2001
01:44:00,160 --> 01:44:01,920
Speaker 1: are you looking at? Like? Is it dragging it down

2002
01:44:02,000 --> 01:44:03,600
Speaker 1: like an eight five or an eighty seven? What do

2003
01:44:03,640 --> 01:44:07,360
Speaker 1: you think, Jack? What do you think it is? Ah,

2004
01:44:07,400 --> 01:44:09,960
Speaker 1: I'm a homer. I give it about a one. Well

2005
01:44:10,760 --> 01:44:15,040
Speaker 1: as a as a as a fan of you never

2006
01:44:15,080 --> 01:44:17,200
Speaker 1: see Brady get hit. So I remember seeing Brady get

2007
01:44:17,240 --> 01:44:19,479
Speaker 1: sacked and being like, what the hell? Like I was

2008
01:44:19,640 --> 01:44:22,640
Speaker 1: loving it it, definitely. I mean the gameplay had to

2009
01:44:22,680 --> 01:44:25,160
Speaker 1: be eight nine. Eight nine is fair? Eight point nine?

2010
01:44:25,320 --> 01:44:28,280
Speaker 1: Oh yeah. The name, it's a good name. I mean,

2011
01:44:28,720 --> 01:44:31,600
Speaker 1: people know that name eighteen and one that it's a

2012
01:44:31,640 --> 01:44:35,799
Speaker 1: demoralizing like if you're a Patriots fan or you're someone

2013
01:44:36,240 --> 01:44:39,120
Speaker 1: from New England, Boston and you see eighteen and one

2014
01:44:40,479 --> 01:44:44,360
Speaker 1: that I mean that hurts and just for that simple

2015
01:44:44,439 --> 01:44:47,040
Speaker 1: fact that it hurts you so much or it hurts

2016
01:44:47,479 --> 01:44:49,559
Speaker 1: you know us so much and it makes you feel so.

2017
01:44:49,720 --> 01:44:51,360
Speaker 1: I mean, that's a it's a pretty good name. I'm

2018
01:44:51,360 --> 01:44:54,800
Speaker 1: going nine four. What's up with these digit name games

2019
01:44:54,880 --> 01:44:58,639
Speaker 1: that are just killing it right now? Twenty eight to three? This?

2020
01:45:00,280 --> 01:45:02,439
Speaker 1: What are we? What are we looking at? Average? Here?

2021
01:45:02,960 --> 01:45:06,639
Speaker 1: We're coming in at nine point four seven? N good?

2022
01:45:06,680 --> 01:45:08,200
Speaker 1: I mean look, I mean we might even done it

2023
01:45:08,200 --> 01:45:09,920
Speaker 1: a little dirty. I mean it could be even higher

2024
01:45:09,920 --> 01:45:13,080
Speaker 1: than that. But it's a flat classic. That's a flat

2025
01:45:13,080 --> 01:45:16,559
Speaker 1: A that's incredible. It was a good game. I mean,

2026
01:45:16,680 --> 01:45:19,400
Speaker 1: it's it's it's gonna go down and always be remembered.

2027
01:45:19,400 --> 01:45:21,200
Speaker 1: I think it was. It was a great game. You know,

2028
01:45:21,720 --> 01:45:25,280
Speaker 1: I'm not going to sit here and rain on their parade,

2029
01:45:25,400 --> 01:45:27,360
Speaker 1: rain on your parade. It was a good game. Even

2030
01:45:27,400 --> 01:45:29,000
Speaker 1: if you ran in our parade, we still would have

2031
01:45:29,000 --> 01:45:32,120
Speaker 1: gone and heard an amazing speech from Michael Strahan at

2032
01:45:32,120 --> 01:45:35,400
Speaker 1: that parade. That's all for this episode of Games with Names,
