When's the 11 00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:38,720 Speaker 1: last time you had a true fist fight with Peyton? 12 00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:42,479 Speaker 1: I don't know if Peyton and I have ever had 13 00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:46,200 Speaker 1: a true fist fight. You know, there's been some wedgies 14 00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:49,680 Speaker 1: given from both sides of us. That was probably the 15 00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:52,000 Speaker 1: most recent thing. But you know, he's five years older 16 00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,760 Speaker 1: in me, so you know, Peyton and Cooper were two 17 00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:57,760 Speaker 1: years apart. They definitely had the fights. Me it was 18 00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:00,600 Speaker 1: more I was just taking the brunt of a lot 19 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:04,319 Speaker 1: of the harassment being the younger, the younger child. And 20 00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:08,360 Speaker 1: so now nowadays we're forty, he's forty five. You know, 21 00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:10,600 Speaker 1: he kind of knows better not to mess with me anymore. 22 00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:13,119 Speaker 1: Who would be more likely to be able to play 23 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:17,640 Speaker 1: in a game this weekend? You or Peyton? I think 24 00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:20,479 Speaker 1: I gotta I gotta take that one, you know, I uh, 25 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:24,440 Speaker 1: I think just I saw him throw the other day. 26 00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:27,360 Speaker 1: We had we had our our high school football camp 27 00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:30,600 Speaker 1: back in July, and it was it wasn't it wasn't 28 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 1: coming out real good. So and that was stilling like 29 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,440 Speaker 1: a high school like little ball. So I think you 30 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,559 Speaker 1: get that NFL ball. I don't. I don't think he's ready. 31 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:43,160 Speaker 1: How does Brady continue to do it? I have no idea, 32 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:47,440 Speaker 1: you know, it's it's I'm not surprised by it, but 33 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,160 Speaker 1: it just I'm still amazed by it. Um and what 34 00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:52,640 Speaker 1: he was able to do last year. Uh, you know, 35 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 1: changing teams, a new organization after twenty years and uh, 36 00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,400 Speaker 1: you know, a new offense, you know, trying to learn 37 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:03,040 Speaker 1: that offense it's in a shortened all season and still 38 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:06,600 Speaker 1: get in there and create the same results. So, you know, 39 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:10,440 Speaker 1: I don't know how he you know, does it himself, 40 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:13,360 Speaker 1: but also how he just convinces the team that they're 41 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 1: you know, they're super Bowl ready and they're a contender, 42 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,840 Speaker 1: and you know, wasn't the fastest start. They lost the 43 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,600 Speaker 1: week one. He didn't play great, but you know he 44 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 1: just got better and guys rally around him. The defense 45 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:28,960 Speaker 1: played outstanding, and he's got something where uh, he just 46 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:33,360 Speaker 1: has the ability to lead those those guys to great things. 47 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:35,880 Speaker 1: All right, Now that you're an analyst, I can ask 48 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 1: you this, who's a better quarterback, Tom Brady or Peyton 49 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 1: Ooh uh currently today Tom Brady currently right right? The 50 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 1: second career? Is that politically correct? Yes? You know, it's 51 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 1: one of those deals you could you could argue this over. 52 00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 1: You know, obviously I'm a little biased to my brother 53 00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:02,120 Speaker 1: because I've seen it firsthand, just the way you know 54 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,639 Speaker 1: he just you know, he led that team and made 55 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,680 Speaker 1: the players around them so much better. Um. But obviously 56 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 1: you got to look at Tom's career and just uh, 57 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,440 Speaker 1: you know, winning winning championships and that's what he's been 58 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:18,080 Speaker 1: able to do. And you know, um, and so you 59 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,960 Speaker 1: know who had a better, better career? You can flip 60 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 1: a coin or who's a better quarterback? You know, they're 61 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 1: both amazing and you know, you'd you'd want any of 62 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,560 Speaker 1: them on your team, uh, to to to lead a 63 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,840 Speaker 1: franchise for a long time. Do you wear your Super 64 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,840 Speaker 1: Bowl rings? I do not. I have not worn them 65 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 1: in a long time. And uh, you know, they're just 66 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 1: they're they're big. And now they're even getting bigger. I 67 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:43,960 Speaker 1: saw the ones from last year. I mean, you can't 68 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,720 Speaker 1: even you know, you'd hurt somebody. If you shake someone's hand, 69 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 1: you're going to scratch them. You'd hurt your own hand. 70 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 1: They're they're getting too big. I need like a mini 71 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 1: one that maybe I'm gonna wear. You know, when I 72 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 1: brought this up a couple of months ago, why not 73 00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,880 Speaker 1: have one. It's sort of like a class ring that 74 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 1: allows you to wear all the time that you still 75 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 1: have that one you put away in a safety deposit box. 76 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 1: How about we start a business where we come up 77 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 1: with wearable Super Bowl rings. I'm I'm all in. I 78 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,440 Speaker 1: think this is a this is a goal. This is gold. 79 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:18,720 Speaker 1: Jerry Um, you know, so I think. I mean, I agree, 80 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 1: you can't wear that thing, and now you're worried you 81 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:23,800 Speaker 1: might lose it, and you know, you take it off, 82 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,159 Speaker 1: and so I think, yeah, I guess getting one you 83 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,640 Speaker 1: can wear, you know, like your class ring that Hey, 84 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 1: we were the champions. Here's here's my mini my mini ring. 85 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,599 Speaker 1: All right, give me your philosophy with you and Peyton 86 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:39,160 Speaker 1: doing Monday Night, the the alternate Monday Night broadcast. What's 87 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:42,560 Speaker 1: the game plan? Game plan is this? Hey, we're we're 88 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,000 Speaker 1: on our couches in our living room watching Monday Night 89 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,720 Speaker 1: football together. We haven't we haven't done that in probably 90 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 1: twenty five years, watched the Monday night football game, uh together. 91 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 1: And you know, he'll be in Denver, I'll be in 92 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 1: New Jersey, but we're still watching the same game. We're talking. 93 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:02,599 Speaker 1: We're telling old story either about those teams or playing 94 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,359 Speaker 1: in that stadium, or just all of a sudden we 95 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 1: hear certain words being called in the game or we 96 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 1: see a play and we have a story. So it's 97 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:14,080 Speaker 1: very casual, it's very just, uh, you know, just having fun. 98 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,599 Speaker 1: We'll get to really analyze some of the plays and 99 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,680 Speaker 1: talk them through, but then we'll also skip over you know, 100 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:21,839 Speaker 1: a lot of you know, runs for two yards, Like 101 00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:24,719 Speaker 1: we don't need to discuss who is carrying the ball 102 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,719 Speaker 1: for that two yard run and what happened. So we'll 103 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 1: bring some guests in there to have some conversations. And 104 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:34,839 Speaker 1: so it's just it should be a fun way to 105 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:38,239 Speaker 1: watch a football game and learn a little bit about 106 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 1: kind of behind the scenes a playing quarterback being in 107 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 1: the NFL and what's going on in the huddle, what's 108 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 1: going on on the sideline, what are they looking at 109 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 1: when they see the tablet? What's that offensive coordinator you know, 110 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,240 Speaker 1: yelling at that guy? You know, what did he do? Role? 111 00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 1: And what's going on in all these situations. Talking to 112 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 1: Eli Manning won two Super Bowls. Of course with the Giants, 113 00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 1: you once through I think six picks against the charger. 114 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 1: That doesn't sound I think that's Peyton Peyton did oh oh, 115 00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,839 Speaker 1: sorry about that? Um, how would you as an analyst 116 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 1: look at that performance. Let's say it. Let's take away 117 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 1: to say, I did it. Yeah, I threw I think 118 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 1: I I think my most is four. No, But let's 119 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,480 Speaker 1: say you're an analyst watching a performance where somebody throws 120 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:28,080 Speaker 1: six interceptions. You know, every every interception has a story, 121 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:31,039 Speaker 1: and you can you can have an excuse. The thing is, 122 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:33,320 Speaker 1: nobody really wants to hear the story. You know, the 123 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:36,040 Speaker 1: coaches don't want to hear it. Uh. You know, there's 124 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:39,800 Speaker 1: always receiver and the wrong route, there's always this ball 125 00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,920 Speaker 1: get tip. They you know, uh, you know we're down. 126 00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:46,839 Speaker 1: I'm trying to force something. So everyone has a story. Uh, 127 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 1: no one really wants to hear it, and you know 128 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 1: it's uh. Sometimes they're just they're just contagious. You know, 129 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:57,920 Speaker 1: interceptions can be contagious. You start throwing one, you start thinking, hey, 130 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 1: whatever you do, just don't throw another intercept. And once 131 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:03,400 Speaker 1: you start thinking that way, they just keep up. It's 132 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:05,320 Speaker 1: like you can't you can't help it. They just you 133 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:08,680 Speaker 1: know something bad is about to happen and you just 134 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 1: can't pull it back. Yeah. I came up with a 135 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:16,200 Speaker 1: stat called shared Blame Interceptions SBI. That way, you know, 136 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,600 Speaker 1: after the game, the receiver can say that's on me, 137 00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:22,480 Speaker 1: it shouldn't be on you. Um. Before I never say that. 138 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:26,120 Speaker 1: They never, they've never said that. It's never happened before. 139 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:29,560 Speaker 1: Before I get to your plug with Verizon, Derek Jeter 140 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,679 Speaker 1: going into the Hall of Fame, you of course spent 141 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:34,640 Speaker 1: your career there in New York. How did you know 142 00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:37,520 Speaker 1: you were wired to be able to deal with New 143 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 1: York coming from New Orleans? You know, I didn't know. 144 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,840 Speaker 1: I think, you know, I think I do have a 145 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:47,280 Speaker 1: little bit more of a kind of a laid back 146 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:51,120 Speaker 1: personality where you know, things don't don't always bother me. 147 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:54,120 Speaker 1: If someone says something bad about me, you know, I don't. 148 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 1: I don't take offense to it. I don't. I don't 149 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,000 Speaker 1: hold grudges. It's not going to ruin my day. Um, 150 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,160 Speaker 1: you know. So, I think just the ability to kind 151 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:03,640 Speaker 1: of handle that New York media I get. I get 152 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:07,040 Speaker 1: Peyton and Cook a lot of credit for them just 153 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 1: beating up on me all the time when I was 154 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,640 Speaker 1: growing up, and they said, if you tell anybody, or 155 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,320 Speaker 1: you complain or you tell mom, We're gonna make it 156 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 1: worse the next time. So I just said I was 157 00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:20,200 Speaker 1: not allowed to complain or cry or say anything about it. 158 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,240 Speaker 1: So I could just easily just forget about it. I 159 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 1: move on and I'd see him the next day. And 160 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,240 Speaker 1: after they just gave me an atomic weggie and and 161 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:29,800 Speaker 1: or pulled down my pants in front of you know, 162 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,160 Speaker 1: a bunch of girls, I just you know, I could 163 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,160 Speaker 1: still love them the next day and be happy and 164 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,200 Speaker 1: just be okay in any situation I was in. And 165 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,440 Speaker 1: I think that's kind of prepared me for the New 166 00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:41,720 Speaker 1: York media and the New York and dealing with the 167 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:43,959 Speaker 1: ups and downs, kind of never getting too high, never 168 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:47,080 Speaker 1: getting too low. They pulled your pants down in front 169 00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 1: of girls. Yeah, Marty girl, Martie girl. You know I'm 170 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,520 Speaker 1: I'm like, hands up, brought me something, mister. You know, 171 00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:58,640 Speaker 1: it's just a perfect situation just to come behind and 172 00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,960 Speaker 1: get the at the pants down. I'm in some you know, 173 00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:05,960 Speaker 1: old school tidy whities, you know, the not a good look. 174 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:11,240 Speaker 1: What are you doing with Verizon? Yeah, we've got the 175 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:15,120 Speaker 1: Verizon five G multiviews. So Verizon does a great job 176 00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 1: of just the innovation the technology during games at the stadiums. 177 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:23,280 Speaker 1: So they're in They're in seven different stadiums this year, 178 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:25,800 Speaker 1: they're in bet Life. So for Giants games, I'm going 179 00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:28,839 Speaker 1: to the Giants game this Sunday, be in person. And 180 00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:32,120 Speaker 1: so if you log into the Giants app, they have 181 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 1: the Verizon multi View where you have seven different camera 182 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 1: angles where you can watch replays. You can watch the game, 183 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:40,160 Speaker 1: you can see you know, hey, is this guy in 184 00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,880 Speaker 1: on the sideline and did the ball cross the goal 185 00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:45,200 Speaker 1: line to get that touchdown? So you don't have to 186 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:47,439 Speaker 1: wait on the jumbo trime for the for the replay. 187 00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:50,240 Speaker 1: You can be right there on your phone within that 188 00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:54,720 Speaker 1: app and kind of get all the cool angles. You 189 00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:56,800 Speaker 1: can be right on the quarterback whatever, how are you 190 00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 1: going to watch it? So this creating that in game experience. 191 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,280 Speaker 1: It's a while you're at the game to give you 192 00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:05,560 Speaker 1: all that technology and features to even enjoy it more. 193 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:08,880 Speaker 1: Are you wearing your jersey to the game? I was 194 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:11,040 Speaker 1: thinking about that. I was, I was, I was, you know, 195 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:12,679 Speaker 1: just this morning, I was like, what am I gonna 196 00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:16,000 Speaker 1: wear to the games? I mean, everybody not wears jerseys, 197 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:17,840 Speaker 1: So I wear my own jersey. They were a stake 198 00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 1: law jersey. You know, I don't. I don't know. Nobody 199 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:24,240 Speaker 1: would think that Eli was wearing his own jersey. I've 200 00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:27,440 Speaker 1: I've I've often thought about that. But when you are, 201 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,839 Speaker 1: then it looks weird. Backfire, you know, they're like, no, 202 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,920 Speaker 1: that's definitely him. And you get busted wearing your own jersey. 203 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,079 Speaker 1: Then it's like what why what is he doing wear 204 00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:38,800 Speaker 1: his own jersey? But I have thoughts. It's like, yeah, 205 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:41,800 Speaker 1: no one, but he's not gonna wear his own jersey. 206 00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:44,480 Speaker 1: It can't be him. We'll leave him alone. Good luck 207 00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:47,680 Speaker 1: with Verizon and good luck on Monday night. Great to 208 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:51,000 Speaker 1: talk to you again, you like, thank you always dang 209 00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:54,760 Speaker 1: good good being with you pal. That's Eli Manning courtesy 210 00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:58,280 Speaker 1: a Verizon. You know when they stopped playing, they have 211 00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:01,400 Speaker 1: a better sense of humor. And you've got a great 212 00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:04,079 Speaker 1: job there Monday night with your brother back and forth, 213 00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:07,080 Speaker 1: just have a little bit of fun. Can you watch 214 00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:10,840 Speaker 1: as just a fan or are you going to process 215 00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:13,640 Speaker 1: this as a former quarterback? I don't think that Peyton 216 00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:17,760 Speaker 1: could watch a game without dissecting things. Plus, you know, 217 00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:20,600 Speaker 1: we make the mistake. I've made this mistake before. In fact, 218 00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,679 Speaker 1: I remember talking to Troy Aikman when Troy Aikman was 219 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,439 Speaker 1: going to go into the booth with Joe Buck and 220 00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:29,320 Speaker 1: I said, are you ready to be critical of players? 221 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:32,319 Speaker 1: And he gave a great answer because he said, well, 222 00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:37,000 Speaker 1: it's not. You know, you're criticizing as much as you're analyzing. 223 00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:40,959 Speaker 1: And there's a difference in that because we can critique 224 00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:44,440 Speaker 1: somebody else can critique. But sometimes you'll get the analyst 225 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,840 Speaker 1: who points out everything that's involved in it and analyzes that, 226 00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:52,080 Speaker 1: and he's going to get to these moments where somebody's 227 00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,880 Speaker 1: going to have a bad game, but he might focus 228 00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,520 Speaker 1: on the person who's having a good game as a 229 00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:00,600 Speaker 1: result of you having a bad game. If you throw 230 00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:04,360 Speaker 1: foreig interceptions, are you then going to compliment the defensive rush? 231 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,880 Speaker 1: Are you going to compliment the defensive back? It might 232 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:11,319 Speaker 1: not be as critical as it is analytical. And this 233 00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:14,199 Speaker 1: is what and I've made this mistake before with guys 234 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:18,440 Speaker 1: getting into broadcasting. Are you able to say something? And 235 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 1: I said this to Tony Dungee and Rodney Harrison, and 236 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:24,960 Speaker 1: looking back, I probably shouldn't have. It's just analyze the game. 237 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:29,480 Speaker 1: Now you're going to be accused of being critical, but 238 00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:32,320 Speaker 1: just analyze the game. And if you go into that approach, 239 00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:35,400 Speaker 1: then you'll look at it and you'll be honest with 240 00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:37,600 Speaker 1: what you see instead of saying, boy, how's this going 241 00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:41,760 Speaker 1: to be perceived? You can't play favorites. And Rodney would 242 00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 1: be critical of the Patriots, And you know there were 243 00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:48,360 Speaker 1: times when I would press Tony Dungee about Peyton Manning 244 00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:52,559 Speaker 1: and these are really good teams that are playing. But 245 00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:56,200 Speaker 1: you know that Peyton and Eli are going to be 246 00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:58,679 Speaker 1: fine because they're going to be together talking about it. 247 00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:02,080 Speaker 1: If I'm hosting with them, I would be pushing them 248 00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:05,080 Speaker 1: a little bit more. Probably the reason why I'm not 249 00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:08,640 Speaker 1: hosting the Alternate Monday Night football and the fact that 250 00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,400 Speaker 1: I don't work at ESPN as well, but I think 251 00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:15,960 Speaker 1: it's interesting that this is This is something I propose 252 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 1: to Amazon last year, not with Peyton and Eli, but 253 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:23,920 Speaker 1: can you get just two players former players and you 254 00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:28,120 Speaker 1: just sit around and you just watch the game, but 255 00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:30,720 Speaker 1: you have somebody who sort of is the you know, 256 00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 1: traffic cop there and you know, it never got far 257 00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:37,439 Speaker 1: with that. I'm not sure what Amazon's doing on Thursday 258 00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:40,439 Speaker 1: nights once they take over from Fox, but that was 259 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:43,240 Speaker 1: something that I proposed. Can you get guys in a 260 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:47,000 Speaker 1: relaxed situation who will just talk to you and I 261 00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:49,480 Speaker 1: know that ESPN does the Mega cast and you have 262 00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:53,200 Speaker 1: you know, former coaches in there. I wanted players with 263 00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:56,520 Speaker 1: players and I stay out of the way. All you 264 00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:58,720 Speaker 1: do is basically roll out the ball and go all right, 265 00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:01,679 Speaker 1: you guys playing, and let me know when you need me. 266 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:04,960 Speaker 1: And that was something that I thought could work on 267 00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:08,240 Speaker 1: Thursday nights with Amazon, but Monday night with these two 268 00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:10,280 Speaker 1: and then they'll have guests that will be in there, 269 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:13,160 Speaker 1: and I think it'll be it'll be a great listen. 270 00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:17,600 Speaker 1: In particular because of Peyton. I think that he will 271 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:20,920 Speaker 1: provide that insight I'm always curious why Eli never got 272 00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:26,440 Speaker 1: an omaha omaha. He didn't have one at least I 273 00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:30,600 Speaker 1: can't remember Eli with an omaha omaha. But you know, 274 00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:34,600 Speaker 1: Peyton kind of cornered the market on omaha omaha. And 275 00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:37,480 Speaker 1: then occasionally you get Roethlisberger would say something that was 276 00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:39,680 Speaker 1: kind of funny from a TV show or a movie. 277 00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:43,560 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers would do that as well. Yeah, McLevin. Eli's 278 00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:47,560 Speaker 1: jersey conundrum is interesting, Kenny, can you wear your own jersey? Like? 279 00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:49,120 Speaker 1: What is what does he wear to the Giant? I 280 00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:52,080 Speaker 1: think it would be funny that you do it, but 281 00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:55,360 Speaker 1: but he might want to separate from the Giants to 282 00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:58,360 Speaker 1: be an analyst if he cares about that. But it 283 00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:00,960 Speaker 1: would be pretty funny if for the first game you 284 00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:02,880 Speaker 1: can go as a fan. You know, where are your 285 00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,720 Speaker 1: Giant's jersey? Yeah, Paul, I'm really looking forward to Eli 286 00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:08,440 Speaker 1: and Peyton during a blowout game. If it's thirty five 287 00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:10,840 Speaker 1: zero at half and there's nothing there's games, you might 288 00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:13,320 Speaker 1: switch to them and they may just start telling stories, yeah, 289 00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:16,480 Speaker 1: because there's nothing to analyze. Sometimes, even with Sunday Night football, 290 00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:18,440 Speaker 1: when when there's a blowout, there's a couple years there's 291 00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:20,560 Speaker 1: a blow and al Michaels just started telling old stories 292 00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:23,320 Speaker 1: with Collinsworth and they filled an entire second half with 293 00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:25,680 Speaker 1: good stories that could be good. Yeah, And I think 294 00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:29,560 Speaker 1: if you have sort of a rolodex that you can go, oh, 295 00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:33,360 Speaker 1: you know, remember that time you guys were losing twenty 296 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:36,320 Speaker 1: eight to nothing, and then you start talking about what 297 00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:39,880 Speaker 1: you're talking about during the game in that situation, or 298 00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:42,080 Speaker 1: what that means that team might be thinking about, or 299 00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:45,760 Speaker 1: what that coach might be thinking, and they're going to 300 00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:49,440 Speaker 1: have so many the treasure trove of stories. The question 301 00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:53,000 Speaker 1: is how much do you want to reveal. That's always 302 00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:58,800 Speaker 1: the tricky part because Eli usually didn't say much. Peyton would. 303 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:03,240 Speaker 1: But it feels like Eli's coming out of that shell. 304 00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:07,240 Speaker 1: And if you're around them, and I've been around them before, uh, 305 00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:11,200 Speaker 1: you know, Eli is sort of a sneaky assassin. Peyton 306 00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:16,240 Speaker 1: is funny. Now Peyton comes in and he's gonna he'll 307 00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:18,880 Speaker 1: be the hammer. But I also think that if you 308 00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:22,600 Speaker 1: have the willingness to tell stories and they're you know, 309 00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:26,000 Speaker 1: self deprecating, stories, always play like you don't want to say, 310 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:28,280 Speaker 1: you know that time that I threw Remember when I 311 00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:31,240 Speaker 1: meet Brady in the Super Bowl. It's when you talk 312 00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:35,160 Speaker 1: about you had doubts. Uh. He was just talking about, 313 00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:37,760 Speaker 1: you know, going to Marty Groan having his hands up 314 00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:41,040 Speaker 1: to catch something and his brother's pull his pants down. 315 00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:44,800 Speaker 1: That's a story that we love, yes, Ton, But if 316 00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,040 Speaker 1: you have if you're telling stories outside of the family, 317 00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:49,480 Speaker 1: you're just other things. You're also wondering the back of 318 00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:51,400 Speaker 1: your mind, was this am I talking out of school? 319 00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:53,240 Speaker 1: Is this something that was told to me in confidence? 320 00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:55,080 Speaker 1: And you're trying to remember I got this great story, 321 00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:57,080 Speaker 1: but this is going to somehow embarrass or a fend, 322 00:16:57,080 --> 00:17:00,360 Speaker 1: a former teammate or something. Thank you, Ton, All right, 323 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,360 Speaker 1: let's pull question today mc clement. Oh, we haven't decided officially. 324 00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:06,639 Speaker 1: Is it fair to do the least buzzworthy team slash 325 00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:11,680 Speaker 1: player or does that mean because um I also, I think, 326 00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:14,200 Speaker 1: despite what you guys said, I think Teddy Bridgewater has 327 00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:17,280 Speaker 1: to go on there because nobody is excited to see 328 00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:23,280 Speaker 1: Teddy Bridgewater start for the dever Bronco. Probably, So would 329 00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:27,320 Speaker 1: you rather be a team with no chance but still 330 00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:32,520 Speaker 1: be interesting because the Texans aren't interesting. They're only interesting 331 00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:35,800 Speaker 1: if Deshaun Watson plays and they have no chance of 332 00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:39,159 Speaker 1: making the playoffs. Yes, like compared to the Jaguars have 333 00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:41,919 Speaker 1: a low wind total, but it's okay. They're interesting how 334 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:45,280 Speaker 1: but the Lions they have Dan Campbell, they're kind of interesting. 335 00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:47,840 Speaker 1: I mean, you don't tune in to watch a coach 336 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:51,640 Speaker 1: very often. Dan Campbell's good during the week. I don't 337 00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:53,399 Speaker 1: know what he's gonna do. I mean, if he's is 338 00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:56,960 Speaker 1: he biting kneecaps on the field during a game you're 339 00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:01,520 Speaker 1: not suiting up? Is Jared Goff? The story is interesting. 340 00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:03,920 Speaker 1: I don't know if watching Jared Goff is going to 341 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,919 Speaker 1: be interesting. There's a difference in that The Giants to 342 00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:10,480 Speaker 1: me are interesting because of Daniel Jones and say Quon Barkley. 343 00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:12,160 Speaker 1: I don't know if they're going to be any good, 344 00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:17,000 Speaker 1: but they do have some storylines there. Yeah, I mcclub 345 00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:22,760 Speaker 1: Daniel Jones interesting in the same sentence, well, interesting is 346 00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:27,919 Speaker 1: he tripping on the fifteen yard? The situation is interesting 347 00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:30,960 Speaker 1: because this is where you decide if you want to 348 00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:36,159 Speaker 1: keep that quarterback or you move on and you wasted. 349 00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:39,280 Speaker 1: If that's the case, you wasted a big number on 350 00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:41,359 Speaker 1: that draft pick. Yeah. Pull Daniel Jones. By the way, 351 00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:44,919 Speaker 1: I checked his nickname is Dan. His buddies called him 352 00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:47,320 Speaker 1: Dan when they're like horsing around back home. Is he 353 00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:51,360 Speaker 1: the NBA's Joe Johnson? In a weird way, I root 354 00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:53,520 Speaker 1: for Daniel Jones to have some type of up spike 355 00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:55,719 Speaker 1: in his career so he don't just talk about him 356 00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:58,720 Speaker 1: tripping on that run. Like Gus Farratt had a decent career, 357 00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:02,480 Speaker 1: but the headbut is his. Oh yeah, Ky's got the 358 00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:04,639 Speaker 1: end zone thing and he's got a very successful career. 359 00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:08,680 Speaker 1: But Daniel Jones needs some moments. How many guys, Okay, 360 00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:12,200 Speaker 1: you just brought up two great ones? Orlovsky has has 361 00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:15,000 Speaker 1: carved out a great career with the Mothership. Gus far 362 00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:18,719 Speaker 1: Rott scored a touchdown and then got injured with headbutting 363 00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:24,439 Speaker 1: the side of the stadium. He heard his neck. Daniel 364 00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:27,840 Speaker 1: Jones is the guy who tripped. Is there somebody else 365 00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:31,760 Speaker 1: who comes up? Jim Marshall who played for the Vikings. 366 00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:36,040 Speaker 1: He ran the wrong way, but he was a Hall 367 00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:41,240 Speaker 1: of Famer. Leon Lett Leon Lett, but Leon went to 368 00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:43,680 Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl a couple of times. But it doesn't matter. 369 00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:47,639 Speaker 1: It's Leon Lett and the fumble. Actually leon Lett had 370 00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,880 Speaker 1: two of them, didn't he have on Thanksgiving where he 371 00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:53,199 Speaker 1: you know, the balls rolling around, you're not supposed to 372 00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:54,920 Speaker 1: touch it, and then he went to try to pick 373 00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:57,239 Speaker 1: it up and then said yeah on this stune. And 374 00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:00,560 Speaker 1: then the Super Bowl where Don beebe chases him down 375 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:04,159 Speaker 1: from behind and he doesn't score a touchdown in the 376 00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:07,080 Speaker 1: Super Bowl. Yeah, pulling Gus far out the quarterback. He 377 00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:09,719 Speaker 1: was in the league for fourteen years. He had one 378 00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:12,399 Speaker 1: hundred starts. It wasn't like he was there for ten minutes. 379 00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:14,399 Speaker 1: He had one hundred and fourteen career touchdowns. He actually 380 00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:16,520 Speaker 1: made a Pro Bowl one year. But if you google 381 00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:18,920 Speaker 1: his name, what's the first video that comes up? Yess 382 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,199 Speaker 1: mcleven I'll give you another one that's not fair. Jackie 383 00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:26,760 Speaker 1: Smith a tight end. I know the Super Bowl drop right, Yeah, 384 00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:30,159 Speaker 1: the Cowboys against Steelers and he had a touch you know, 385 00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:32,639 Speaker 1: they were coming back and I think Roger Staubach, they 386 00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:35,920 Speaker 1: were coming back against the Steelers and Jackie Smith, hall 387 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,439 Speaker 1: of Famer, spent you know, most of his career with 388 00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:42,040 Speaker 1: the Saint Louis Cardinals and he dropped it. Yeah, McLellan, 389 00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:44,200 Speaker 1: Well is he I don't remember that? Well? There wasn't 390 00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:47,000 Speaker 1: there a Dolphins kicker who fumbled something in the Super Bowl. 391 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,399 Speaker 1: Oh you Premian, who is a Hall of Famer too, 392 00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:52,080 Speaker 1: I think he don't think Oh he wasn't. Okay, now 393 00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:54,159 Speaker 1: he was famous though, and he had one of the 394 00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:56,119 Speaker 1: worst Super Bowl plays of all time. Well, that was 395 00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:59,159 Speaker 1: a horrible super Bowl. I think the fourteen seven Mike Bass, 396 00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:03,399 Speaker 1: I think pick up the fumble scored the touchdown. You 397 00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:08,359 Speaker 1: know Mark Sanchez known for the butt fumble, and he 398 00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:10,920 Speaker 1: went to the AFC Title game a couple of time. 399 00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:15,040 Speaker 1: Couple a couple times. If you think of other ones 400 00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:18,120 Speaker 1: sent them out on Twitter to us. But somebody, when 401 00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:21,000 Speaker 1: you say their name, they're known for one thing. When 402 00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:24,600 Speaker 1: we come back, the Washington football team is going to 403 00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:28,880 Speaker 1: change its nickname. We don't know when, but we learned 404 00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:32,600 Speaker 1: earlier this morning that they're going to reveal a new name. 405 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:35,800 Speaker 1: They have about seven or eight names now they're going 406 00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:40,760 Speaker 1: to narrow that down and basically judge public sentiment. Here, 407 00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:43,000 Speaker 1: I'm going to tell you the no brainer. I'm going 408 00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:45,320 Speaker 1: to tell you the names that they can't go with, 409 00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:47,439 Speaker 1: but I can tell you the one that they should 410 00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:49,119 Speaker 1: play of the day is up next here on The 411 00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:52,400 Speaker 1: Dan Patrick Show.

Jim Callawshaw, Oh, 419 00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:20,280 Speaker 1: he's on the road. He's in Tampa. That's a journalist there. 420 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:24,639 Speaker 1: Dallas morning news columnists ESPN around the horn contribute or 421 00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:28,800 Speaker 1: look at that on the road spending some months company money. 422 00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:31,359 Speaker 1: We're traveling for the first time in a couple of years. 423 00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:35,960 Speaker 1: Didn't go to any road games last year. Who has 424 00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:39,439 Speaker 1: more pressure on them for the Dallas Cowboys this season? 425 00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:48,320 Speaker 1: If I go Dak, Mike McCarthy, Jerry Jones, other I 426 00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:52,879 Speaker 1: would say Dak. I think McCarthy's pressure will come quickly 427 00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:57,600 Speaker 1: after one season that wasn't good and on him, I 428 00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:01,480 Speaker 1: would say, very quickly. It doesn't help him that Jerry 429 00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:04,320 Speaker 1: stayed so long with Jason Garrett as he did nine 430 00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:07,560 Speaker 1: and a half years. I think he realizes he had 431 00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:09,960 Speaker 1: this belief in Garrett as a person because he'd known 432 00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:12,920 Speaker 1: him for twenty five years and it didn't work. He 433 00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:15,320 Speaker 1: has no such belief in McCarthy. He just brought him 434 00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:18,440 Speaker 1: here because he was a winning coach ten years ago 435 00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:21,640 Speaker 1: in Green Bay. Now do it again. So I think 436 00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:25,679 Speaker 1: his time will be fairly quick. But because of the contract, 437 00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:28,600 Speaker 1: because of the injury, because of everything else, I think 438 00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:32,119 Speaker 1: it's immediately on Dak, and Dak needs to have a 439 00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:41,240 Speaker 1: special season to kind of make everyone feel like, Okay, 440 00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:44,800 Speaker 1: this wasn't an this wasn't a big mistake to go 441 00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:46,879 Speaker 1: all in with one hundred and sixty million dollars on 442 00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:49,520 Speaker 1: this guy. Well, it's one thing to be a cute 443 00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:51,680 Speaker 1: story and then all of a sudden you get paid 444 00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:55,320 Speaker 1: and it's no longer a cute story, right, Dak Prescott's 445 00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:58,360 Speaker 1: not a cute story anymore. No, he's not the overachieving 446 00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:02,480 Speaker 1: fourth round bick anymore. He's the guy who makes more 447 00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:05,720 Speaker 1: than every quarterback who's ever played in the Super Bowl 448 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:09,600 Speaker 1: except for Patrick Mahomes and and and some people will 449 00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:11,800 Speaker 1: tell you his his deal is better than mahomes deal. 450 00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:16,480 Speaker 1: So yeah, it's it's you know, whether it should be 451 00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:19,159 Speaker 1: about the money or not. It is, And there is 452 00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:22,720 Speaker 1: a salary cap, and while he's not, he's not killing 453 00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:25,920 Speaker 1: them against the cap. Now he's third on the roster 454 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:29,000 Speaker 1: this year, but then it starts going up very quickly, 455 00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:32,399 Speaker 1: and and we've seen other teams struggle when when a 456 00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:35,720 Speaker 1: quarterback is chewing up eighteen nineteen percent of the cap. 457 00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:40,360 Speaker 1: We've seen teams not wing because of that house from 458 00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:44,440 Speaker 1: Aroun going into this season in Dallas, I'm fine, I'm fine. 459 00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:48,760 Speaker 1: The morning is ready to go. We've got four riders here, 460 00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:51,639 Speaker 1: and we feel good about our predictions and our deadlines. 461 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:57,119 Speaker 1: But if you mean the Cowboys and fans, I just 462 00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:00,840 Speaker 1: think it's very apprehensive because of this who they're playing. 463 00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:03,720 Speaker 1: If they were playing a normal game, if they were 464 00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:08,040 Speaker 1: playing the Giants, who they used to open every season against, 465 00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:12,720 Speaker 1: I think everything body would feel wonderful. But you haven't 466 00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:17,240 Speaker 1: know Zack Martin. So your best lineman's gone again, Dak 467 00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:19,560 Speaker 1: hasn't played in eleven months. All the things that hang 468 00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:22,560 Speaker 1: over this team, and you're playing not just a super 469 00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:25,000 Speaker 1: Bowl team, but a super Bowl team that a week 470 00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:28,240 Speaker 1: ago the coach was calling them out saying, I'll play 471 00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:30,320 Speaker 1: the starters into the second half. We don't get this 472 00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:33,080 Speaker 1: thing going. And Brady comes out and go seven for 473 00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:35,800 Speaker 1: seven and they got a touchdown. It feels like they're 474 00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:39,280 Speaker 1: ready to go play the playoffs and the Cowboys didn't 475 00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:43,760 Speaker 1: even bother with the exhibition season. Are you convinced the 476 00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:48,400 Speaker 1: Cowboys you're a playoff team. I wouldn't say convinced. That's 477 00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:53,200 Speaker 1: a strong word. I think it's a two team race 478 00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:56,040 Speaker 1: between Dallas and Washington. I don't think there's a lot 479 00:25:56,080 --> 00:26:01,080 Speaker 1: to separate the two. I think Washington is if they 480 00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:04,640 Speaker 1: can get a decent season out of Fitzpatrick, they might 481 00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:07,640 Speaker 1: be the better team because there's so much better defensively. 482 00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:09,399 Speaker 1: But but I don't know if he can hold up 483 00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:13,320 Speaker 1: for seventeen games and not fall apart as he usually has. 484 00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:19,000 Speaker 1: If Dallas says reasonable health, just normal NFL health, I 485 00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:22,880 Speaker 1: think they'll win the division. Down it starts out with 486 00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:25,840 Speaker 1: Tampa and then at the Chargers, so they could be 487 00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:27,919 Speaker 1: conceivable to bo and two and then I know they 488 00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:31,919 Speaker 1: have three easier games after that. But if they start 489 00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:37,520 Speaker 1: out and two, Yeah, what do you think that? Like, 490 00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:41,439 Speaker 1: you gotta three patience, but Jerry doesn't have patience sometimes, No, 491 00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:45,720 Speaker 1: and it's those easier games. Yeah, there's three home games 492 00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:49,000 Speaker 1: coming up. New York, Philly, and Carolina. Well, just because 493 00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:51,120 Speaker 1: those teams all have losing records. No, I don't think 494 00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:53,960 Speaker 1: Philly's very good, but I don't know what Carolina is 495 00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:56,440 Speaker 1: going to do this year, the second year for those 496 00:26:56,480 --> 00:27:00,600 Speaker 1: coaches and all and New York they be Cowboys at 497 00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:02,560 Speaker 1: the end of last year and they got Barnton back. 498 00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:07,480 Speaker 1: So if you're owing two, easy games are gone and 499 00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:11,280 Speaker 1: all those games start to look tougher. Now if you 500 00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:14,800 Speaker 1: get if you avoid Owen two, the Cowboys don't play 501 00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:17,320 Speaker 1: a team that had a winning record for whatever that's worth, 502 00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:21,000 Speaker 1: between Tampa and Kansas City in the middle of November, 503 00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:23,480 Speaker 1: so they have a long stretch against teams that were 504 00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:27,119 Speaker 1: five hundred or worse. Then they can do some damage 505 00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:29,320 Speaker 1: if they can get their act together. But I think, 506 00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:31,760 Speaker 1: like to your point, the Chargers is a very tough 507 00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:36,959 Speaker 1: second game at LA. I mean, that team should be 508 00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:39,959 Speaker 1: pretty good. Somebody's gonna be pretty good in that division, 509 00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:43,280 Speaker 1: and besides the Chiefs, it might be the Chargers. And really, 510 00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:45,760 Speaker 1: all you're asking the Cowboys to do is be average 511 00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:49,000 Speaker 1: on defense, because if you have an above average offense, 512 00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:55,120 Speaker 1: then are they capable of being an average defense. They're 513 00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:58,000 Speaker 1: not good at defensive tackle, and the defensive ends have 514 00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:01,560 Speaker 1: not played well or a bit of available the last 515 00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:05,440 Speaker 1: year or two. So there's a lot of excitement about 516 00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:10,040 Speaker 1: Michael Parsons and a great rookie pick, and there's some 517 00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:13,440 Speaker 1: excitement about Kean O'Neil coming in from Atlanta, but they're 518 00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:17,720 Speaker 1: really just replacing two linebackers everybody who was excited about 519 00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:20,440 Speaker 1: before Jalen Smith and the Laton Vander is a first 520 00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:23,240 Speaker 1: round pick in an almost first round pick, So it's 521 00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:26,040 Speaker 1: like they're trying to get this linebacker thing right. But 522 00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:29,080 Speaker 1: if your defensive tackles in front of them are no 523 00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:31,720 Speaker 1: good and Nevill Gallibore is not going to play and 524 00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:35,480 Speaker 1: Tristan Hill hasn't practiced with the team yet, then then 525 00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:37,120 Speaker 1: you're just got a bunch of guys I'm in front 526 00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:39,520 Speaker 1: of him. Then you're back to having the linebackers making 527 00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:43,000 Speaker 1: tackles seven yards down the field. I think tonight Tampa 528 00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:45,760 Speaker 1: Bay has a great chance to run the ball a 529 00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:50,840 Speaker 1: lot and do what teams did to Dallas last year. 530 00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:54,720 Speaker 1: And if that happens, then everybody's gonna going to freak 531 00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:57,200 Speaker 1: out and think this thing isn't getting better at all. 532 00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:00,560 Speaker 1: Always great to talk to you glad you ravelin have 533 00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:04,080 Speaker 1: fun tonight, Tim to be here in this wonderful betting. Yes, 534 00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:08,120 Speaker 1: I can tell the ambiance looks really really nice. Thank you. 535 00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:12,080 Speaker 1: Budd's Tim Callishaw only the best for Tim Callishaw. You 536 00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:14,400 Speaker 1: know when you're with Dallas Morning News and you're traveling 537 00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:19,400 Speaker 1: ESPN also around the Horn contributor. Let's bring in Rick Stroud, 538 00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:22,520 Speaker 1: who covers the Buccaneers for the Tampa Bay Times unlike 539 00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:26,560 Speaker 1: anybody else does. He also hosts sports Day Tampa Bay podcast. 540 00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:29,720 Speaker 1: Before we talk about tonight, Rick, with the Buccaneers, go 541 00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:33,680 Speaker 1: back to when they were what seven and five? We 542 00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:37,520 Speaker 1: had three losses in four games. What was happening then? 543 00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:41,880 Speaker 1: And then what happened after that that changed the Buccaneers season. Well, 544 00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:45,040 Speaker 1: I think what was happening was sheer panic at that point. 545 00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:48,520 Speaker 1: But you know, it was a situation where Tom Brady 546 00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:51,280 Speaker 1: got with Bruce arians he was supposed to play golf, 547 00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:53,640 Speaker 1: the league wouldn't let them. They had sort of some 548 00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:57,600 Speaker 1: long telephone conversations I think without Byron left which and 549 00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:00,840 Speaker 1: basically Tom said, hey, here's what I need. I need 550 00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:04,560 Speaker 1: more play action. I need more you know, motion pre 551 00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:06,640 Speaker 1: snap motion. We got to run the ball more. We 552 00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:09,320 Speaker 1: got to be more committed to this, and I think 553 00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:13,200 Speaker 1: it sort of evolved the offense a little quicker towards 554 00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:15,320 Speaker 1: the second half. And they were a tired football team. 555 00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:17,440 Speaker 1: You know, they had played a lot of games. They played, 556 00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:20,120 Speaker 1: you know, a couple of three point losses to the 557 00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:23,000 Speaker 1: Rams and the Chiefs, and they really just felt like 558 00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:25,520 Speaker 1: they needed that break and they came back and they 559 00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:29,280 Speaker 1: caught fire. Yeah, but I mean it was It's interesting 560 00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:32,000 Speaker 1: that teams always have these moments where there's a dip, 561 00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:34,680 Speaker 1: you know, some point in this season, and then then 562 00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:36,640 Speaker 1: they start to figure it out later in the season. 563 00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:39,840 Speaker 1: Those teams that are caught fire, they have momentum going 564 00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:43,400 Speaker 1: into the postseason. How confident were you though, in the 565 00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:45,600 Speaker 1: last month of the season if I would have said, Hey, 566 00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:48,880 Speaker 1: this team's going to win the Super Bowl. I think 567 00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:51,600 Speaker 1: after they got on a run, you know, just talking 568 00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:54,080 Speaker 1: to the coaches and watching them, they really felt like 569 00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:56,160 Speaker 1: they were getting better each week. The schedule got a 570 00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:58,800 Speaker 1: little easier, you know, they came out I think they 571 00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:01,360 Speaker 1: were down seventeen points to the Falcons, and it was 572 00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:04,120 Speaker 1: really dark and gloomy. But Brady came back and I 573 00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:07,240 Speaker 1: think he threw five touchdown passes that day, and you know, 574 00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:09,920 Speaker 1: they just they just felt like the more time they 575 00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:13,280 Speaker 1: were together. I think people underestimate, you know what Covid 576 00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:17,000 Speaker 1: and Tom changing you know, systems and not knowing the 577 00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:19,560 Speaker 1: plays and he's trying to memorize plays on the way 578 00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:22,000 Speaker 1: on a bus to New Orleans, you know, and so 579 00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:24,880 Speaker 1: there was a big learning curve there, and I just 580 00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:28,760 Speaker 1: think they got better, you know, as they as they played. Also, 581 00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:32,760 Speaker 1: Brady played the season with a partially torn mco How 582 00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:36,920 Speaker 1: did they hide that? That's a good question, man. I 583 00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:39,040 Speaker 1: wish I had the answers to all these. Uh, I'm 584 00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:41,760 Speaker 1: not sure. I know that Tom just told them he 585 00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:44,200 Speaker 1: was fine. I guess he got a physical after he 586 00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:47,000 Speaker 1: you know, signed his contract when he was in New York. 587 00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:50,000 Speaker 1: But um, you know, basically it was him and Alice 588 00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:53,200 Speaker 1: Guerrero spending you know, twelve fourteen hours a day trying 589 00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:56,680 Speaker 1: to stabilize that knee. He said sometimes he'd to go 590 00:31:56,760 --> 00:31:58,880 Speaker 1: to bed with with it all taped up and things 591 00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:01,719 Speaker 1: like that. So you know, they gave him a lot 592 00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:03,600 Speaker 1: of a lot of time off the second half of 593 00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:06,960 Speaker 1: the year. He took some days he and he got 594 00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:08,600 Speaker 1: through it. You know, he didn't make a big deal 595 00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:12,040 Speaker 1: out of it. But do you think Bruce arians knew 596 00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:16,400 Speaker 1: that Tom Brady had a knee that needed surgery. I 597 00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:19,040 Speaker 1: think he knew that he had a problem. Yeah, I mean, 598 00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:20,760 Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know to what extent. Look, 599 00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:22,720 Speaker 1: he was never on an injury report. We can get 600 00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:25,600 Speaker 1: into that, but I think I think at the end 601 00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:27,520 Speaker 1: of the day, he was never going to not play 602 00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:30,080 Speaker 1: with it, right, he started with this same knee that 603 00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:32,360 Speaker 1: he finished the season with. It wasn't something that was 604 00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:35,600 Speaker 1: going to keep him out of a game. And you know, 605 00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:38,800 Speaker 1: it's sort of like, don't ask, don't tell, you know, 606 00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:41,120 Speaker 1: I don't think they wanted to know what was wrong 607 00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:43,440 Speaker 1: with that. But he had warned a brace for thirteen years, 608 00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:46,560 Speaker 1: so he was still wearing one. Also, when you sit 609 00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:50,600 Speaker 1: down with Brady and you come to the COVID topic, 610 00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:54,719 Speaker 1: and I was curious how surprised you were that Tom 611 00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:58,440 Speaker 1: answered it honestly, that that he had had COVID and 612 00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:03,520 Speaker 1: maybe got it when had the Super Bowl armata. Yeah, well, 613 00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:05,080 Speaker 1: you know, you never asked the question. You don't have 614 00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:08,120 Speaker 1: an answer to Dan, That's the key, And I sort 615 00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:10,840 Speaker 1: of waited, we're running out of time because he gave 616 00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:13,120 Speaker 1: me fourteen of the best minutes of my life. So 617 00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:15,520 Speaker 1: I uh, you know, I had to ask at the 618 00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:17,920 Speaker 1: end there as we were leaving, and he just, you know, 619 00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:20,920 Speaker 1: he was just wanted to move on. I think he said, yeah, 620 00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:23,560 Speaker 1: you know, I had it and they know a lot 621 00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:25,760 Speaker 1: of people got sick. I think at the boat parade, 622 00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:29,960 Speaker 1: not just you know, not just the avocado tequila and stuff. 623 00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:33,520 Speaker 1: But I think he just he felt like it's it's 624 00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:36,000 Speaker 1: in his path and he just said, I'm worried. He turned, 625 00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:37,720 Speaker 1: you know, he blocked in bridge and said, I'm worried 626 00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:40,080 Speaker 1: about this year because I think we're gonna have a 627 00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:43,000 Speaker 1: lot more problems with everything that's opened up, and even 628 00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:45,640 Speaker 1: though guys are vaccinated, they're still gonna get sick. And 629 00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:47,880 Speaker 1: you know, we could have players missing games. And before 630 00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:50,840 Speaker 1: they went to Houston they had two you know, defensive 631 00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:53,160 Speaker 1: tackles and Domikon Sue being one of them that couldn't 632 00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:55,840 Speaker 1: play in the preseason game. So you know, that's kind 633 00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:58,440 Speaker 1: of what he's thinking about, is how this can affect 634 00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:01,760 Speaker 1: him going forward. It sounds strange to say, but is 635 00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:07,800 Speaker 1: this super Bowl or bust with Tom Brady with the Buccaneers. Yeah, 636 00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:09,799 Speaker 1: well yeah, I mean, what's a good season when you 637 00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:11,960 Speaker 1: have this guy? Right? I mean, it hasn't been done, 638 00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:15,560 Speaker 1: you know, since he did it seventeen years ago. But 639 00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:17,959 Speaker 1: that's why they're playing. And I don't think he's gonna 640 00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:20,400 Speaker 1: let them let off the gas. I mean there's you know, 641 00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:22,799 Speaker 1: a lot of talk about complacency and things like this. 642 00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:25,160 Speaker 1: I mean, it's incredible, Dan, I mean, when you see 643 00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:26,799 Speaker 1: what this guy's able to do. He told me his 644 00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:29,040 Speaker 1: arm feels like he's twenty four. He's playing his three 645 00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:33,279 Speaker 1: hundredth game today, three hundredth starters trendreth game, and that 646 00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:36,359 Speaker 1: sets up nicely because I think his four hundredth game 647 00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:38,239 Speaker 1: will be against Arch Manning, who will be going into 648 00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:41,239 Speaker 1: the Pro Football of Fame. So you know, I just 649 00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:44,239 Speaker 1: there's no slowdown in this guy. I'm telling you. If 650 00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:46,600 Speaker 1: he feels healthy, and I've talked to Alice grow about this, 651 00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:49,320 Speaker 1: I think he's gonna go beyond just this season and 652 00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:51,560 Speaker 1: next season. It would not surprise me at all if 653 00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:53,920 Speaker 1: that's the case. Yeah, I know, I saw the quote 654 00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:56,719 Speaker 1: from your column where he said I feel like I'm 655 00:34:56,760 --> 00:35:00,239 Speaker 1: twenty four. Usually that leaves you, you know, when you 656 00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:02,759 Speaker 1: ask a quarterback, what's the first thing that leaves you. 657 00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:06,440 Speaker 1: They might talk about some sharpness, they might talk about, 658 00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:09,840 Speaker 1: you know, usually it's arm strength. There is Brady throwing 659 00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:13,239 Speaker 1: like he's twenty four. Well I wasn't there when he 660 00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:14,680 Speaker 1: was twenty four. I saw him in a lot of 661 00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:18,279 Speaker 1: Super Bowls and everybody on that staff says he's throwing 662 00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:21,080 Speaker 1: the ball as well as they can ever detect that 663 00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:24,120 Speaker 1: he did on film, you know. So, I mean, he's 664 00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:26,360 Speaker 1: a guy. You know, we talked about this that he 665 00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:29,800 Speaker 1: grew up and he always had elbow problems in baseball 666 00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:32,360 Speaker 1: playing as a kid. He had elbow problems at Michigan 667 00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:34,839 Speaker 1: and that's how he got with Alex Guerrero because they 668 00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:37,280 Speaker 1: were gonna high arm him at one point in New England. 669 00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:39,720 Speaker 1: Went out there to California. He's working with William McGinnis 670 00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:42,120 Speaker 1: and he just says that, you know, he's never had 671 00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:45,440 Speaker 1: any problems since then. So his arm has been great, 672 00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:47,640 Speaker 1: and you know the way he takes care of himself. 673 00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:50,040 Speaker 1: With TB twelve, he's got thirty four guys on this 674 00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:53,200 Speaker 1: roster going to TB twelve, which is a mile from 675 00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:56,919 Speaker 1: the facility getting worked on by body coaches. Each week, 676 00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:58,920 Speaker 1: so it's you know, you might have a bunch of 677 00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:02,040 Speaker 1: Buccaneers playing until in their forties. Now does the team 678 00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:05,600 Speaker 1: pick up the tab for that? That's a great question, Daniel, 679 00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:08,000 Speaker 1: have to read the stories about that. I don't you know, 680 00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:11,359 Speaker 1: I don't want to disclose everything just yet, but oh god, 681 00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:13,560 Speaker 1: I think the players do. I actually think that it's 682 00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:15,319 Speaker 1: it's on the players. I think I know this. In 683 00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:19,239 Speaker 1: New England they did. Yeah, although I don't think Bill 684 00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:23,680 Speaker 1: liked that. No, apparently not that that changed pretty quickly, 685 00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:25,600 Speaker 1: by the way. I know that you went through some 686 00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:28,600 Speaker 1: lean years down there, but you know you've got it 687 00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:31,960 Speaker 1: made now. I mean, come on, that's it's great to 688 00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:36,600 Speaker 1: be in Tampa. It's Tampa Bay is we got the 689 00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:38,279 Speaker 1: hockey team. You know, it's this is a big night. 690 00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:40,400 Speaker 1: I mean, after they won Super Bowl thirty seven, to 691 00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:43,319 Speaker 1: tell you how things go in Tampa, the greatest moment, right, 692 00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:46,239 Speaker 1: they win, oh too, super Bowl and then we're at 693 00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:48,320 Speaker 1: the owners meetings and they find out they've got to 694 00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:51,400 Speaker 1: open at Philly. They're the only Super Bowl team before 695 00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:54,520 Speaker 1: or since it's opened on the road. And that just 696 00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:58,080 Speaker 1: fed right into John Gruden's paranoia. And we're the owners meet. 697 00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:03,319 Speaker 1: He's like, man, come around here singing why Eagles? Why 698 00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:06,480 Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Why do we get it? So? Yeah, 699 00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:08,959 Speaker 1: it was so this is a bit is a big deal. 700 00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:11,120 Speaker 1: This is a really big deal. That is well done. 701 00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:14,040 Speaker 1: Are you surprised at all with what's happening or not 702 00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:18,799 Speaker 1: happening with the Raiders with John Gruden? Not surprised. Love. 703 00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:21,600 Speaker 1: John is a football coach. He's a terrible GM. He's 704 00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:24,720 Speaker 1: got Mike Mayok who's probably not getting to pull the strings, 705 00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:27,640 Speaker 1: and I think John will stay in, Mayak will go 706 00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:29,680 Speaker 1: and they'll bring in Bruce Allen. I mean, that's that's 707 00:37:29,719 --> 00:37:35,520 Speaker 1: what he does. So terrific play caller, great motivator, likes 708 00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:38,759 Speaker 1: the quarterback he doesn't have. You know, I can go 709 00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:41,640 Speaker 1: on and on, but I'm not surprised at all. Have 710 00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:44,280 Speaker 1: fun tonight.

You guys want to 741 00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:25,799 Speaker 1: guess who I picked for the Super Bowl? Yes, Hunt, 742 00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:28,600 Speaker 1: you are going with a rematch of Super Bowl fourteen, 743 00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:31,520 Speaker 1: which was in the Rose Bowl in Pasadena so far 744 00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:33,920 Speaker 1: is only about an hour away. The Rams might be 745 00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:35,759 Speaker 1: the easier pick of the two, but you're going with 746 00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:39,160 Speaker 1: Big Ben and the Steelers to represent the AFCY. All right, 747 00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:45,680 Speaker 1: Rams and the Steelers. Okay, Nicklevin, I'm going off several 748 00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:50,840 Speaker 1: clues you've been dropping you. I've always said you love defense. 749 00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:55,640 Speaker 1: So your shocking team will be the Washington football team 750 00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:59,560 Speaker 1: now or maybe San Francisco, because I've noticed you haven't 751 00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:02,480 Speaker 1: talked about San Francisco at all. You gotta make a 752 00:40:02,520 --> 00:40:09,720 Speaker 1: pick Washington football team like versus the Cleveland Brows. Okay, 753 00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:14,000 Speaker 1: Seaton O'Connor. So I don't have a pick on the matchup, 754 00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:16,279 Speaker 1: but I just have four teams that I think you're like, 755 00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:19,440 Speaker 1: the ones that you're trying to talk yourself out of. Okay, okay. 756 00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:22,920 Speaker 1: I have also the Washington football team. Right, the Titans, 757 00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:27,400 Speaker 1: the Chargers, the Cowboys. All right, one of those teams 758 00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:30,680 Speaker 1: is on the list that I'm trying to talk myself 759 00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:35,000 Speaker 1: out of. Yes, I do it, Yes, one of those four, Paulie, 760 00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:38,480 Speaker 1: I think you were going to have a team from 761 00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:42,239 Speaker 1: Los Angeles as one of your picks. That's all I got. 762 00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:45,960 Speaker 1: That's all you got. Yeah, I want to cover my basis. Yeah, 763 00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:48,440 Speaker 1: I guarantee there's Okay, I guarantee there's a team from 764 00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:53,120 Speaker 1: Los Angeles one of your two picks. Um. You know, 765 00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:56,120 Speaker 1: I've been on the Matthew Stafford bandwagon before there was 766 00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:59,320 Speaker 1: a bandwagon and thought, if you're gonna make a bet 767 00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:02,400 Speaker 1: for the NBA, that Matthew Stafford with those long odds. 768 00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:09,160 Speaker 1: But I will say this, you guys have not picked. 769 00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:12,839 Speaker 1: Nobody picked the two teams that I'm going to pick 770 00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:15,640 Speaker 1: to play in the Super Bowl. Seaton did have one 771 00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:20,360 Speaker 1: team that I've been For some reason, I got there 772 00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:25,600 Speaker 1: something biblical Cord attached to the Tennessee Titans, and I 773 00:41:25,640 --> 00:41:30,160 Speaker 1: don't know why because I'm thinking, Okay, you got a 774 00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:34,040 Speaker 1: great running back, Tannehill had a really good year last year. 775 00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:37,800 Speaker 1: They averaged thirty points. They're one of the top scoring teams. 776 00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:41,520 Speaker 1: You bring in, you know Julio Jones with a J. Brown, 777 00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:46,640 Speaker 1: and then you know Bud Dupree, Caleb Farley. You've added 778 00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:48,760 Speaker 1: a little bit to the defense, and I got, god, 779 00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:53,200 Speaker 1: could this be a sneaky pick? But I can't pick them. 780 00:41:54,239 --> 00:41:58,520 Speaker 1: I know, I know, I know, I know. I promise you. 781 00:41:58,680 --> 00:42:01,239 Speaker 1: This kept me up last night. I kept going, I 782 00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:05,240 Speaker 1: like the Titans. We like pacing the house. No, not pacing, 783 00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:08,920 Speaker 1: but I'm like, I got up to go get another 784 00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:12,319 Speaker 1: beer and then came back. But that's not pacing. If 785 00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:14,319 Speaker 1: they make it now, you're gonna be so bad. It's 786 00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:19,799 Speaker 1: okay because I've talked myself in and talked myself out 787 00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:22,040 Speaker 1: of teams. It feels like every year, like I talked 788 00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:24,680 Speaker 1: myself into the Chargers almost every year for about a 789 00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:26,680 Speaker 1: ten year period ago. You know they got the most 790 00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:34,200 Speaker 1: talented football. I'm taking the Chargers. And then you go, um, yeah, 791 00:42:34,239 --> 00:42:36,719 Speaker 1: my my two teams are not going to surprise you. 792 00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:51,000 Speaker 1: I'm not picking the Buffalo Bills, I'm not picking the 793 00:42:51,120 --> 00:43:02,279 Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns. I'm taking your Kansas City Chiefs. I know, 794 00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:05,400 Speaker 1: I know you already feel bad about it. Really embracing 795 00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:09,080 Speaker 1: hot take day. No, because I did this last year 796 00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:14,040 Speaker 1: where I purposely went against Buccaneers in Kansas City, certainly 797 00:43:14,120 --> 00:43:18,040 Speaker 1: Kansas City. I'm like, God, that's boring. But do I 798 00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:20,760 Speaker 1: want to be interesting or do I want to be correct? 799 00:43:22,239 --> 00:43:24,480 Speaker 1: That's that's the dilemma that I have here. That's the 800 00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:30,279 Speaker 1: segment interesting or correct run to you by. But it 801 00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:33,200 Speaker 1: can't be both. It feels like, I mean, you might 802 00:43:33,239 --> 00:43:35,520 Speaker 1: be if the Titans would go to the Super Bowl. 803 00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:40,480 Speaker 1: I will be mad at myself, but but I will 804 00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:45,680 Speaker 1: be on the record as considering that. And so I 805 00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:49,799 Speaker 1: was we can edit it, yes, the guys back, I'll 806 00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:51,200 Speaker 1: make it sound like, okay, let me just do it. 807 00:43:51,239 --> 00:43:53,600 Speaker 1: And the team I'm picking to go to the Super 808 00:43:53,600 --> 00:43:59,440 Speaker 1: Bowl from the AFC the Tennessee Titans clip that Mario 809 00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:03,840 Speaker 1: bring that back in February. So I'm going with the 810 00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:11,920 Speaker 1: chiefs now in the NFC. I'm not going with Seattle. 811 00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:17,880 Speaker 1: I'm not going with San Francisco. I'm not going with 812 00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:21,760 Speaker 1: the Rams. And I was going to have a Rams 813 00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:28,920 Speaker 1: tighten Super Bowl and then I stopped drinking tequila and 814 00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:31,520 Speaker 1: then I said, all right, I gotta I gotta come 815 00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:34,200 Speaker 1: up with the I'm taking the Green Bay Packers to 816 00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:37,520 Speaker 1: play the Kansas City Chiefs in the Super Bowl. Yeah, 817 00:44:37,560 --> 00:44:41,160 Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I'm sorry. It's not a hot take. I'm 818 00:44:41,239 --> 00:44:44,080 Speaker 1: so disappointed in myself. Who do you have winning said 819 00:44:44,120 --> 00:44:47,920 Speaker 1: Super Bowl? I have the Kansas City Chiefs winning the 820 00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:53,920 Speaker 1: Super Bowl and and Aaron Rodgers that's his last game 821 00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:59,600 Speaker 1: as a Green Bay Packer. How's that is it? Davunte 822 00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:07,840 Speaker 1: adam last game? Question mark? See, I'm disappointed. I am. 823 00:45:08,040 --> 00:45:11,279 Speaker 1: I am like, I love Josh Allen. I've said that. 824 00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:15,080 Speaker 1: I don't, you know, Rogers was wonderful. I have Mahomes 825 00:45:15,080 --> 00:45:18,560 Speaker 1: winning the MVP. See, it's another boring thing. I couldn't 826 00:45:18,560 --> 00:45:21,400 Speaker 1: go Rogers because no matter what he does, trying to 827 00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:28,040 Speaker 1: equal last year Josh Allen, the expectation level is really 828 00:45:28,160 --> 00:45:30,799 Speaker 1: high on him. I think he made them better than 829 00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:34,759 Speaker 1: what they really were. And I just it comes back 830 00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:40,640 Speaker 1: to Mahomes offensive line, Andy Reid, Tyree Hill, and Travis Kelsey. 831 00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:44,760 Speaker 1: I just I have that every week. How about the Bucks? 832 00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:48,400 Speaker 1: Were they in the discussion? Yes? They were? Um, I 833 00:45:48,520 --> 00:45:53,080 Speaker 1: just I wasn't sold on them last year. Uh, you know, 834 00:45:53,120 --> 00:45:54,880 Speaker 1: I go back to when they were seven and five. 835 00:45:55,440 --> 00:45:58,560 Speaker 1: I just think the defense played well I didn't think 836 00:45:58,560 --> 00:46:00,759 Speaker 1: they played well until they got to the Super Bowl 837 00:46:00,760 --> 00:46:04,880 Speaker 1: and they took advantage of a defensive line that was terrible. 838 00:46:07,680 --> 00:46:11,640 Speaker 1: You know, you're asking Brady stay healthy. I'm not as 839 00:46:11,680 --> 00:46:13,960 Speaker 1: high on the wide receiving chord as everybody else. Here's 840 00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:15,960 Speaker 1: I think we're basing this off of you know, gronxle 841 00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:18,400 Speaker 1: Hall of Famer. He doesn't play lacko Hall of Famer. 842 00:46:18,920 --> 00:46:21,479 Speaker 1: He did play well in the Super Bowl. Antonio Brown, 843 00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:26,880 Speaker 1: I'm just not sure it's Antonio Brown Godwin. I like 844 00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:29,440 Speaker 1: Mike Evans. You got some tight ends there. I mean, 845 00:46:29,480 --> 00:46:33,080 Speaker 1: they have everything. It's just it's so hard to repeat. 846 00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:35,239 Speaker 1: And you know Tom's the last to do it in 847 00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:38,120 Speaker 1: three at four. And I know I always say I'll 848 00:46:38,120 --> 00:46:42,200 Speaker 1: never go against Tom Brady. I guess technically I'm going 849 00:46:42,239 --> 00:46:44,640 Speaker 1: against Tom Brady right now. But if it was Tom 850 00:46:44,680 --> 00:46:46,880 Speaker 1: Brady in the Super Bowl, I would take Tom Brady 851 00:46:46,920 --> 00:46:50,239 Speaker 1: as I did last year. Yes, it saves a lot 852 00:46:50,280 --> 00:46:51,920 Speaker 1: of time for a jake from State Farm. You already 853 00:46:51,920 --> 00:46:54,520 Speaker 1: had Mahomes and Rodgers together in commercials. They could just 854 00:46:54,520 --> 00:46:57,800 Speaker 1: got to keep reshowing those. Yeah, and you know, maybe 855 00:46:57,800 --> 00:47:00,000 Speaker 1: they want to use me in those State Farm commercials. 856 00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:03,040 Speaker 1: Perfect and be nice. If I was Jake's friend coming in. 857 00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:09,440 Speaker 1: Oh God, there's so much pressure. You hate this, I 858 00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:11,880 Speaker 1: do because you know it's even the worst part of 859 00:47:11,880 --> 00:47:15,280 Speaker 1: it is that if they're wrong, then it was boring 860 00:47:15,400 --> 00:47:18,680 Speaker 1: and wrong. At least if you're interesting and wrong, it's like, Hey, 861 00:47:18,719 --> 00:47:20,440 Speaker 1: I took a shot. This is just boring and it 862 00:47:20,520 --> 00:47:24,560 Speaker 1: was wrong. Wrong, brought to you by Yes, we love it. 863 00:47:24,680 --> 00:47:26,640 Speaker 1: The worst was when you picked the Saints, who are 864 00:47:26,640 --> 00:47:29,080 Speaker 1: clearly the best team, and they got the pass interference 865 00:47:29,120 --> 00:47:31,919 Speaker 1: calling out that was ridiculous and they should have been 866 00:47:32,120 --> 00:47:36,719 Speaker 1: Super World champions. What did we learn today to As 867 00:47:36,719 --> 00:47:38,759 Speaker 1: a youth, Eli Manning had his pants pulled down by 868 00:47:38,760 --> 00:47:40,800 Speaker 1: brothers Peyton and Cooper during Marty Gron in front of 869 00:47:40,880 --> 00:47:46,480 Speaker 1: girls making love and Eli Manning also referenced many wedgies 870 00:47:47,600 --> 00:47:51,239 Speaker 1: setan O'Connor salad days.
