We broke down our 34 00:02:05,068 --> 00:02:07,988 Speaker 1: favorite place from these two superstar quarterbacks earlier in the show. 35 00:02:08,028 --> 00:02:09,988 Speaker 1: But these are plays that we have already seen and 36 00:02:10,068 --> 00:02:11,948 Speaker 1: they stick with us and they live in our head 37 00:02:11,988 --> 00:02:14,268 Speaker 1: rent free. But there's going to be a highlight tonight 38 00:02:14,308 --> 00:02:16,348 Speaker 1: from one of them who will give us the better 39 00:02:16,428 --> 00:02:20,348 Speaker 1: highlight tonight, will it be justin Herbert? My no, look, 40 00:02:20,468 --> 00:02:22,788 Speaker 1: toss goes too cup. It's just so great to just 41 00:02:22,828 --> 00:02:26,268 Speaker 1: even talk about. Once the games start, they don't stop, 42 00:02:26,348 --> 00:02:27,708 Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Like I feel like twenty 43 00:02:27,748 --> 00:02:30,548 Speaker 1: minutes ago we're talking about Cavon Thibodeau opted out of 44 00:02:30,588 --> 00:02:33,388 Speaker 1: combine drills. Our thoughts like, now we got Herbert versus 45 00:02:33,428 --> 00:02:36,828 Speaker 1: Mahomes and listen, I'm gonna start this with a loaded phrase, 46 00:02:37,148 --> 00:02:40,628 Speaker 1: no disrespect to Mahomes. As highlights are incredible. We've seen 47 00:02:40,668 --> 00:02:43,028 Speaker 1: a lot of them. It's it's the fast and furious thing. 48 00:02:43,028 --> 00:02:45,668 Speaker 1: It's always delivers and it's Entertainingum, there's just been a lot. 49 00:02:46,068 --> 00:02:48,228 Speaker 1: I'm going to Herbert. I'm going to Herbert just because 50 00:02:48,228 --> 00:02:50,788 Speaker 1: it's a little fresher and we have not seen as many. Also, 51 00:02:50,868 --> 00:02:54,268 Speaker 1: Herbert's got this thing that I call the hover pass. 52 00:02:54,908 --> 00:02:56,348 Speaker 1: Does it feel to me? And he throws the ball 53 00:02:56,468 --> 00:02:58,628 Speaker 1: sixty yards and it never gets higher than five feet 54 00:02:58,668 --> 00:03:01,028 Speaker 1: off the ground. It is an unbelievable thing to watch. 55 00:03:01,148 --> 00:03:03,708 Speaker 1: I like that Mahomes is great. This is a win 56 00:03:03,748 --> 00:03:06,108 Speaker 1: win here. But I'm gonna go with the justin Herbert 57 00:03:06,188 --> 00:03:10,828 Speaker 1: having like a eyebrows singing throw tonight that we're waiting 58 00:03:10,868 --> 00:03:12,748 Speaker 1: at home and we just jump off the couch with Herbert. 59 00:03:13,228 --> 00:03:15,508 Speaker 1: I want to play Devil's advocator. I love both these 60 00:03:15,548 --> 00:03:17,028 Speaker 1: guys saying as you do, and I think we're gonna 61 00:03:17,028 --> 00:03:19,108 Speaker 1: get a plenty of highlights. I'm gonna go Mahomes and 62 00:03:19,108 --> 00:03:22,068 Speaker 1: it's a different fashion, whereas Herbert might have the laser 63 00:03:22,188 --> 00:03:25,428 Speaker 1: throw and the physicality of that big six. And then Herbert, 64 00:03:25,428 --> 00:03:28,268 Speaker 1: which I loved, he did like got Gooseneck. That was 65 00:03:28,308 --> 00:03:30,348 Speaker 1: so cool. I think we're getting a trick shot out 66 00:03:30,348 --> 00:03:33,308 Speaker 1: of my homes tonight, the first primetime Amazon game. It's 67 00:03:33,348 --> 00:03:35,588 Speaker 1: the first time that they're gonna be having the stadium 68 00:03:35,588 --> 00:03:37,828 Speaker 1: painted the way that they are, which is gonna be 69 00:03:37,868 --> 00:03:42,388 Speaker 1: the vintage nineteen nineteen sixties Chiefs field. You're gonna see 70 00:03:42,388 --> 00:03:44,108 Speaker 1: a cool looking field. You're gonna see a cool looking 71 00:03:44,108 --> 00:03:46,308 Speaker 1: look on the new graphics and Alan Kirk and all 72 00:03:46,308 --> 00:03:48,508 Speaker 1: these guys. I think Mahomes has one of these trick 73 00:03:48,548 --> 00:03:50,828 Speaker 1: shots ready for us. And that might be behind the back, 74 00:03:50,908 --> 00:03:53,268 Speaker 1: it might be side arms with his eyes closed, it 75 00:03:53,348 --> 00:03:55,388 Speaker 1: might be Jamie, this your standard no look that we're 76 00:03:55,388 --> 00:03:57,908 Speaker 1: bored of already. I think we're getting a Mahomes trick 77 00:03:57,908 --> 00:04:00,068 Speaker 1: shot that we're gonna be playing all season LONGA This 78 00:04:00,108 --> 00:04:02,548 Speaker 1: one was so tough for me. I look at both 79 00:04:02,548 --> 00:04:04,508 Speaker 1: of these guys and I compare it to somebody came 80 00:04:04,548 --> 00:04:05,628 Speaker 1: out to me and said, hey, you know on Good 81 00:04:05,628 --> 00:04:09,188 Speaker 1: Morning Football, Now, who's your favorite host to work? I 82 00:04:09,228 --> 00:04:11,868 Speaker 1: just love you guys all so much equally, you can't pass. 83 00:04:11,908 --> 00:04:14,108 Speaker 1: It was so tough. But with all that being said, 84 00:04:14,228 --> 00:04:17,508 Speaker 1: I'm going to go with Justin Herbert for some of 85 00:04:17,508 --> 00:04:20,748 Speaker 1: the same reasons Kyle said, Mahomes. Whether he goes no, look, 86 00:04:20,748 --> 00:04:24,628 Speaker 1: whether he goes behind the back, it'll be like, oh, well, Mahomes, 87 00:04:24,668 --> 00:04:27,668 Speaker 1: Like we've seen this already, You've done this rens in times. 88 00:04:27,908 --> 00:04:29,508 Speaker 1: I want to see it Justin Herbert. I want to 89 00:04:29,508 --> 00:04:32,108 Speaker 1: see him throw the ball from eighty yards away and 90 00:04:32,228 --> 00:04:35,708 Speaker 1: make an amazing completion for a touchdown. There's still so 91 00:04:35,788 --> 00:04:38,348 Speaker 1: much to see with this young guy. We still haven't 92 00:04:38,348 --> 00:04:41,268 Speaker 1: seen him play in January, which Peter alluded to earlier 93 00:04:41,428 --> 00:04:43,708 Speaker 1: in the show. But I'm excited to see what we 94 00:04:43,828 --> 00:04:46,988 Speaker 1: haven't seen yet, what he's already done in practice, which 95 00:04:46,988 --> 00:04:48,748 Speaker 1: he gets a chance to show us on a Thursday 96 00:04:48,828 --> 00:04:52,628 Speaker 1: night prime time first Game on Amazon Yeah, Herbert throws 97 00:04:52,628 --> 00:04:54,108 Speaker 1: that ball on a rope? Is that what we're supposed 98 00:04:54,108 --> 00:04:55,428 Speaker 1: to be supposed say it on a rope? And then 99 00:04:55,428 --> 00:04:56,788 Speaker 1: he pulls it back. And that's how I feel about 100 00:04:56,788 --> 00:04:58,908 Speaker 1: Peter's answer, like on a rope, pull it back, because 101 00:04:58,948 --> 00:05:00,948 Speaker 1: I had the same exact thought, like what is he 102 00:05:00,988 --> 00:05:02,628 Speaker 1: going to give us, Like what does he have left 103 00:05:02,668 --> 00:05:05,108 Speaker 1: in the arsenal at this point? Like what hasn't Let's say, 104 00:05:05,348 --> 00:05:07,308 Speaker 1: I'm really playing this out of my head. He gets hit, 105 00:05:07,468 --> 00:05:09,868 Speaker 1: he's up in the air, which like, don't ever leave 106 00:05:09,868 --> 00:05:11,388 Speaker 1: your feet, but he has to. Yeah, he's got to 107 00:05:11,428 --> 00:05:15,348 Speaker 1: bring that ball between his legs. I'm not going behind 108 00:05:15,348 --> 00:05:17,588 Speaker 1: the back. I'm going between the legs because he already 109 00:05:17,588 --> 00:05:19,868 Speaker 1: has this motion down and all you knew would just 110 00:05:19,908 --> 00:05:22,748 Speaker 1: be levitating, but she quite possibly could do and then 111 00:05:22,788 --> 00:05:25,388 Speaker 1: just book perfect. It's fun. That's what we're going to see. 112 00:05:25,428 --> 00:05:29,468 Speaker 1: That's the highlight. I have a dream scenario for these 113 00:05:29,468 --> 00:05:31,588 Speaker 1: two quarterbacks, and it's it's at the end of the 114 00:05:31,628 --> 00:05:33,668 Speaker 1: game and one of the teams, either one is down 115 00:05:33,788 --> 00:05:36,868 Speaker 1: five and they're on their own twenty or twenty five 116 00:05:37,188 --> 00:05:38,908 Speaker 1: and they're not close enough for a field goal, and 117 00:05:38,948 --> 00:05:40,828 Speaker 1: they just have to chuck the hall Mary and they 118 00:05:40,868 --> 00:05:43,028 Speaker 1: have to make the eighty yard throw for the That's 119 00:05:43,028 --> 00:05:44,588 Speaker 1: what I want to see. I would really that would 120 00:05:44,588 --> 00:05:47,028 Speaker 1: be amazing. Yeah. I'm also triggered by Jason's answer, what 121 00:05:47,108 --> 00:05:49,548 Speaker 1: even your favorite host? Like? Are you? We all know 122 00:05:49,548 --> 00:05:52,948 Speaker 1: who your favorite host is, Jason. It's Jamie. It is 123 00:05:53,028 --> 00:05:56,868 Speaker 1: it's Jamie. It's because we started together, and also because 124 00:05:57,508 --> 00:06:01,228 Speaker 1: if he sticks with me in a bunker, he'll always 125 00:06:01,228 --> 00:06:03,708 Speaker 1: have snacks. I think that's also that's true. Yeah, I 126 00:06:03,748 --> 00:06:06,228 Speaker 1: always gouts true one. All right, let's dive her. Actually, 127 00:06:06,508 --> 00:06:08,108 Speaker 1: and that's why I brought it up. That really hurt. 128 00:06:08,308 --> 00:06:11,348 Speaker 1: I wonder he brought it up. I was. I thought 129 00:06:11,348 --> 00:06:13,068 Speaker 1: we bonded it a lot. Did not not enough. He 130 00:06:13,108 --> 00:06:15,548 Speaker 1: did not fight it. I love you all, I know, 131 00:06:15,588 --> 00:06:16,868 Speaker 1: but that's true, but he didn't have to. The next 132 00:06:16,948 --> 00:06:18,708 Speaker 1: ess like you did have a Herbert answer. All right, 133 00:06:18,788 --> 00:06:20,508 Speaker 1: let's really want to piss up here telling me your 134 00:06:20,508 --> 00:06:23,788 Speaker 1: favorite host is Nate. That's the one he doesn't want 135 00:06:23,788 --> 00:06:27,988 Speaker 1: to hear. We're gonna die deeper into the coverage. We've 136 00:06:27,988 --> 00:06:29,748 Speaker 1: mentioned their names all throughout the show. We let's talk 137 00:06:29,748 --> 00:06:31,668 Speaker 1: about the coverage of Thursdy Night football on Preme Video. 138 00:06:31,668 --> 00:06:33,908 Speaker 1: It's also available on NFL Plus. Chris and Thompson in 139 00:06:33,908 --> 00:06:35,628 Speaker 1: front of the show. Tony Gonzala is as a star. 140 00:06:35,948 --> 00:06:38,588 Speaker 1: They'll be joined by Richard Sherman and Ryan fitzpat two 141 00:06:38,628 --> 00:06:41,908 Speaker 1: of our favorite NFL person Now the tease, let's throw 142 00:06:41,908 --> 00:06:44,508 Speaker 1: it back to four years ago. Fitzpatrick gave us a 143 00:06:44,508 --> 00:06:47,068 Speaker 1: press conference for the Ages. This look borrowing from then 144 00:06:47,068 --> 00:06:50,188 Speaker 1: teammate to Shaun Jackson's locker, and he made it work, 145 00:06:50,228 --> 00:06:54,428 Speaker 1: as of course he would. And then who could forget 146 00:06:54,548 --> 00:06:59,788 Speaker 1: Richard Sherman's legendary postgame interview with Aaron Andrews. Richard, let 147 00:06:59,788 --> 00:07:02,428 Speaker 1: me ask you the final play, take me through it. 148 00:07:03,108 --> 00:07:05,388 Speaker 1: I'm your best cornea day when you trying me what 149 00:07:05,508 --> 00:07:08,468 Speaker 1: it's sorry receiving like Crabtree. That's the results you're gonna get. 150 00:07:08,908 --> 00:07:12,308 Speaker 1: Don't you what I we're talking about me? Who was 151 00:07:12,348 --> 00:07:15,108 Speaker 1: talking about you? Crabtree? Don't you help me? Your mouth 152 00:07:15,108 --> 00:07:17,308 Speaker 1: about the best? Are on a set up for you 153 00:07:17,348 --> 00:07:24,028 Speaker 1: real quick? Those are fantastic moments in terms of their 154 00:07:24,148 --> 00:07:28,108 Speaker 1: media trajectory as players, and then now they're on prime video, 155 00:07:28,108 --> 00:07:31,148 Speaker 1: it's fantastic. Richard Sherman or Ryan Fitzpatrick, who had the 156 00:07:31,188 --> 00:07:35,828 Speaker 1: better free of media moments, Peter. I think Fitzpatrick's gonna 157 00:07:35,868 --> 00:07:38,948 Speaker 1: be good tonight. You will never tap a postgame interview 158 00:07:39,148 --> 00:07:41,228 Speaker 1: like Richard Sherman had with Aaron Andrews. But it's not 159 00:07:41,348 --> 00:07:46,428 Speaker 1: Richard Sherman, it's Sherman and ar Aaron's response is everyone 160 00:07:46,468 --> 00:07:48,948 Speaker 1: in America at that moment. It's the perfect response. It's 161 00:07:48,948 --> 00:07:50,588 Speaker 1: not the scripted thing where you're like, I'm going to 162 00:07:50,628 --> 00:07:52,228 Speaker 1: ask him how the team found a way to get 163 00:07:52,228 --> 00:07:55,668 Speaker 1: the end of the fourth quarter. It's hen who's talking 164 00:07:55,708 --> 00:07:58,668 Speaker 1: about you? Crab tree? Oh okay, go keeople going. It's 165 00:07:58,828 --> 00:08:01,468 Speaker 1: fantastic cinema. It was great. It was he in the moment, 166 00:08:01,508 --> 00:08:03,868 Speaker 1: and it was everything about Legion of Boom in that era. 167 00:08:04,548 --> 00:08:07,668 Speaker 1: I think the Richard Sherman Aaron Andrews postgame interview is 168 00:08:08,188 --> 00:08:10,428 Speaker 1: iconic stuff. And I remember it's like the first time 169 00:08:10,468 --> 00:08:13,428 Speaker 1: Twitter like really like blew up the moment. It was 170 00:08:13,468 --> 00:08:16,828 Speaker 1: a real moment, and every postgame interview should should be 171 00:08:16,908 --> 00:08:20,268 Speaker 1: jealous of those moments and should should strive for that. Yeah, 172 00:08:20,428 --> 00:08:22,428 Speaker 1: I just must steal this from Jason and say I 173 00:08:22,468 --> 00:08:26,308 Speaker 1: come fully are This is a masterclass in listening during 174 00:08:26,308 --> 00:08:28,828 Speaker 1: an interview. Because that's all you're ever told. When I 175 00:08:28,908 --> 00:08:30,388 Speaker 1: want to be a sidline reporter, what I have to do? 176 00:08:30,468 --> 00:08:32,988 Speaker 1: Listen like that, Just listen to what they're saying. It 177 00:08:33,108 --> 00:08:35,308 Speaker 1: was gold and the and the pause. What is it? 178 00:08:35,388 --> 00:08:38,788 Speaker 1: Sometimes silence makes you listen better. She waited a beat, 179 00:08:38,908 --> 00:08:42,148 Speaker 1: just a long enough. In her tone was just who's 180 00:08:42,228 --> 00:08:45,108 Speaker 1: talking about you? I just im just watching and be 181 00:08:45,148 --> 00:08:48,348 Speaker 1: like god, that was beautiful, Oh so good. That was it. 182 00:08:48,388 --> 00:08:51,988 Speaker 1: That was it for me, Sherman. All those conversations feel 183 00:08:52,028 --> 00:08:55,668 Speaker 1: like they're that intense. But for me, I'm gone with 184 00:08:55,868 --> 00:08:58,868 Speaker 1: Ryan Fitzpatrick, bring just bring up the video again and 185 00:08:58,948 --> 00:09:00,988 Speaker 1: let's do a little bit of a drip check for 186 00:09:01,108 --> 00:09:04,068 Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick got the postgame pulled me for one. Number one. 187 00:09:04,148 --> 00:09:06,148 Speaker 1: The best thing about is he has the Taco meet out, 188 00:09:06,348 --> 00:09:09,868 Speaker 1: the chess hair. He's the coolest guy in a room 189 00:09:09,948 --> 00:09:13,388 Speaker 1: because he has the shades on inside during the press conference. 190 00:09:13,548 --> 00:09:16,588 Speaker 1: And I think the best part of it all the jewelry, 191 00:09:16,748 --> 00:09:20,988 Speaker 1: the chain he has, the ice flowing warring DeShawn Jackson's outfit. 192 00:09:21,228 --> 00:09:24,028 Speaker 1: I got a chance to play alongside fits in Tennessee. 193 00:09:24,668 --> 00:09:28,668 Speaker 1: This is him the personality to connections with everybody inside 194 00:09:28,708 --> 00:09:33,348 Speaker 1: the locker room to pull something like this all drip checks. 195 00:09:33,428 --> 00:09:35,948 Speaker 1: Great job, it's excellent, he said. He the Sean came 196 00:09:35,988 --> 00:09:37,948 Speaker 1: in that day and he had so many questions fits 197 00:09:37,948 --> 00:09:39,428 Speaker 1: did about his outfit, and he said, if we win, 198 00:09:39,508 --> 00:09:41,228 Speaker 1: I got to wear this outfit. Shore enough they did. 199 00:09:41,388 --> 00:09:43,828 Speaker 1: But the answer is definitely Richard Sherman in my opinion, 200 00:09:44,068 --> 00:09:46,548 Speaker 1: for so many reasons. The Fitzpatrick thing was a regular 201 00:09:46,588 --> 00:09:49,068 Speaker 1: season game, and it was a charming postseason post game 202 00:09:49,148 --> 00:09:53,548 Speaker 1: moment on Instagram. The Sherman thing was riveting live television 203 00:09:53,628 --> 00:09:56,548 Speaker 1: after they just won the title game, and this guy 204 00:09:56,708 --> 00:09:58,988 Speaker 1: was an exploding star out of nowhere, and You're like, 205 00:09:58,988 --> 00:10:00,988 Speaker 1: oh my god, what is he doing? Is he gonna swear? 206 00:10:01,108 --> 00:10:03,908 Speaker 1: Is he gonna like it? Just Aaron Andrews talked about 207 00:10:03,948 --> 00:10:06,268 Speaker 1: that moment the who was talking about your moment, and 208 00:10:06,308 --> 00:10:08,188 Speaker 1: she says it makes her cringe, It makes her uncomfortable. 209 00:10:08,228 --> 00:10:09,908 Speaker 1: She just doesn't like how it came off. And yet 210 00:10:09,948 --> 00:10:12,628 Speaker 1: it's the perfect follow up. It's the perfect everything. It's 211 00:10:12,668 --> 00:10:15,388 Speaker 1: also the Sherman thing is really a de facto sequel 212 00:10:15,428 --> 00:10:18,068 Speaker 1: to the Bart Scott thing. When bart Scott had just 213 00:10:18,148 --> 00:10:21,148 Speaker 1: beaten the Patriots and talked to salpal and it was 214 00:10:21,228 --> 00:10:23,108 Speaker 1: the can't wait wait, and so it was like that 215 00:10:23,388 --> 00:10:26,868 Speaker 1: was the standard, and then Richard Sherman took that, improved 216 00:10:26,988 --> 00:10:30,068 Speaker 1: upon it, made it better. We all remember exactly where 217 00:10:30,108 --> 00:10:31,668 Speaker 1: we were we were doing. We were watching the Richard 218 00:10:31,708 --> 00:10:33,788 Speaker 1: Sherman that's still to me as the Clubhouse Leader, as 219 00:10:33,828 --> 00:10:37,708 Speaker 1: the greatest postgame interview in NFL history. Someone beat that. 220 00:10:37,908 --> 00:10:39,468 Speaker 1: That is the one. I think it is Sherman in 221 00:10:39,508 --> 00:10:42,108 Speaker 1: a runaway. It's fantastic. Yeah, the standard is said. Although 222 00:10:42,188 --> 00:10:44,348 Speaker 1: what was it the prime video preseason game that they 223 00:10:44,388 --> 00:10:46,668 Speaker 1: did on. Ryan Fitzpatrick on social media was worried about 224 00:10:46,668 --> 00:10:50,908 Speaker 1: a zipper and it getting taught is taco meat. I'm so, 225 00:10:52,828 --> 00:10:55,028 Speaker 1: how how do you not have a taco meat issue 226 00:10:55,308 --> 00:10:57,668 Speaker 1: in that postgame press conference? Because it just stayed down 227 00:10:57,668 --> 00:11:00,308 Speaker 1: yours belly button? Yeah, and maybe just clean up the 228 00:11:00,348 --> 00:11:07,348 Speaker 1: taco me Why Sherman's thoughts on Russell Tonight, let's go, Yeah, Sherman, 229 00:11:07,468 --> 00:11:09,788 Speaker 1: let you go saying that day we have not got them. 230 00:11:10,148 --> 00:11:11,668 Speaker 1: I don't think I'd like to see them on Amazon 231 00:11:11,828 --> 00:11:14,908 Speaker 1: Time tonight, Chrissa, do it produm produm, get out of him. 232 00:11:24,148 --> 00:11:26,828 Speaker 1: Time for Today's wake Up Call, presented by Verizon. We 233 00:11:26,868 --> 00:11:29,228 Speaker 1: are now joined by a former number two overall pick 234 00:11:29,268 --> 00:11:31,508 Speaker 1: in the NFL draft. He is now a college football 235 00:11:31,548 --> 00:11:35,108 Speaker 1: and NFL analysts and just launched his own sports talk show. 236 00:11:35,148 --> 00:11:37,028 Speaker 1: We see him in the halls here near our studio. 237 00:11:37,268 --> 00:11:42,348 Speaker 1: Please welcome back to the breakfast table, Ryan leading everybody. 238 00:11:42,468 --> 00:11:44,868 Speaker 1: Good morning. Yep. So I'm supposed to ask you about 239 00:11:44,868 --> 00:11:48,348 Speaker 1: your unbiased opinion about Patrick Mahomes and Justin Herbert. By 240 00:11:48,428 --> 00:11:50,468 Speaker 1: judging by that sweatshirt you're wearing, it seems like you 241 00:11:50,588 --> 00:11:52,468 Speaker 1: we're gonna lean one way or the other, all in 242 00:11:52,588 --> 00:11:57,748 Speaker 1: on the Chiefs. Subtle subtle. I love this sweatshirt Rocket 243 00:11:57,828 --> 00:12:01,708 Speaker 1: anytime I try to go on NFL TV. And for me, 244 00:12:01,988 --> 00:12:05,228 Speaker 1: it's all about the quarterback position, like you talked about, 245 00:12:05,268 --> 00:12:06,868 Speaker 1: and I think these are probably two and two of 246 00:12:06,908 --> 00:12:09,148 Speaker 1: the best out there. What the Chargers have been able 247 00:12:09,148 --> 00:12:12,508 Speaker 1: to do, especially at the general manager's position. They've methodically 248 00:12:12,748 --> 00:12:17,028 Speaker 1: built a team that can compete and they've played incredibly well. 249 00:12:17,428 --> 00:12:19,908 Speaker 1: My biggest takeaway is whether Brandon Staley is going to 250 00:12:20,068 --> 00:12:22,348 Speaker 1: be pragmatic enough in big moments. Last year, in this 251 00:12:22,468 --> 00:12:25,148 Speaker 1: game on a Thursday night, a couple of decisions cost 252 00:12:25,228 --> 00:12:28,308 Speaker 1: them probably at playoff birth because of those. Last week 253 00:12:28,348 --> 00:12:30,708 Speaker 1: he did something similar up ten, kick a field goal, 254 00:12:30,748 --> 00:12:33,428 Speaker 1: you're up thirteen. Instead, they don't get it. Now the 255 00:12:33,508 --> 00:12:34,988 Speaker 1: Raiders feel like they get back in the game. They 256 00:12:35,028 --> 00:12:36,868 Speaker 1: only win twenty four to nineteen. So we'll see what 257 00:12:36,948 --> 00:12:39,148 Speaker 1: the second year coach does in some of those biggest 258 00:12:39,148 --> 00:12:40,908 Speaker 1: moments in Arrowhead, because I know how difficult it can 259 00:12:40,948 --> 00:12:42,628 Speaker 1: be to play there without a doubt. And you just 260 00:12:42,708 --> 00:12:46,308 Speaker 1: said quarterbacks. You talked about Mahomes, you're talking about Justin Herbert. 261 00:12:47,188 --> 00:12:51,548 Speaker 1: Last Thursday, Josh Allen put on a dominant performance and 262 00:12:52,108 --> 00:12:56,588 Speaker 1: you tweeted out Josh MVP. So is he in a 263 00:12:56,628 --> 00:12:58,908 Speaker 1: clear cut favorite what you're going? I mean, I don't know, 264 00:12:59,028 --> 00:13:02,508 Speaker 1: you know, it's so there's something pretty political probably about 265 00:13:02,508 --> 00:13:04,188 Speaker 1: the MVP process at the end of the year, like 266 00:13:04,588 --> 00:13:06,428 Speaker 1: I'd love to see it at the end of the playoffs. 267 00:13:06,468 --> 00:13:09,388 Speaker 1: I think Josh Allen was playing the quarterback position better 268 00:13:09,428 --> 00:13:12,308 Speaker 1: than anybody when the season ended and he lost, right. 269 00:13:12,428 --> 00:13:14,548 Speaker 1: So it's a real team game, and that's a very 270 00:13:14,628 --> 00:13:18,148 Speaker 1: individual one. He's probably one of the best quarterbacks in 271 00:13:18,188 --> 00:13:19,748 Speaker 1: the NFL. I don't think you can argue with that. 272 00:13:19,828 --> 00:13:21,948 Speaker 1: It just depends on how the season goes. What kind 273 00:13:21,988 --> 00:13:24,428 Speaker 1: of status you put up. I guarantee if he could 274 00:13:24,468 --> 00:13:27,068 Speaker 1: hand the ball off a bunch and they win, he'd 275 00:13:27,148 --> 00:13:29,028 Speaker 1: be very okay with that as long as they win 276 00:13:29,068 --> 00:13:32,748 Speaker 1: a championship. So I think he's the type of quarterback 277 00:13:32,788 --> 00:13:34,908 Speaker 1: that I would have loved to have been in the NFL. 278 00:13:35,108 --> 00:13:38,748 Speaker 1: A guy that was physical, a guy who really controlled 279 00:13:38,748 --> 00:13:40,788 Speaker 1: the ball down the football field. And it's been fun 280 00:13:40,908 --> 00:13:43,588 Speaker 1: to watch his maturation over the last few years and 281 00:13:44,028 --> 00:13:46,228 Speaker 1: to make that big jump when a lot of people 282 00:13:46,228 --> 00:13:51,508 Speaker 1: saw him struggle early on two thousand and one Thanksgiving Day. 283 00:13:52,388 --> 00:13:56,828 Speaker 1: The starting quarterback the famous Creed halftime shot stop halftime show, 284 00:13:56,828 --> 00:13:59,188 Speaker 1: absolutely the starting quarterback in Dallas Cowboys is Ryan Leaf. 285 00:13:59,548 --> 00:14:01,468 Speaker 1: You guys were two and seven entrying that game. You 286 00:14:01,588 --> 00:14:03,988 Speaker 1: played that Thanksgiving Day. Many people remember it was a 287 00:14:04,028 --> 00:14:06,628 Speaker 1: Charger and you also were a Cowboy. Right now, we're 288 00:14:06,628 --> 00:14:08,388 Speaker 1: at a weird time with the Cowboys as a fan 289 00:14:08,468 --> 00:14:11,068 Speaker 1: base and as a franchise in that we're not sure 290 00:14:11,108 --> 00:14:13,028 Speaker 1: what's ahead for the next few weeks, and even after 291 00:14:13,148 --> 00:14:15,628 Speaker 1: Dak gets back, there are some uncertainties based on what 292 00:14:15,668 --> 00:14:17,548 Speaker 1: we saw when Dak was in the game. State of 293 00:14:17,588 --> 00:14:19,028 Speaker 1: the Cowboys, what do you make of it, and can 294 00:14:19,068 --> 00:14:22,388 Speaker 1: they even compete without Dak on the field. It's not good, right, 295 00:14:22,468 --> 00:14:24,668 Speaker 1: I mean it's not I think everybody can see that 296 00:14:25,948 --> 00:14:28,468 Speaker 1: there hasn't been a repeat division winner in the East 297 00:14:28,508 --> 00:14:31,228 Speaker 1: since two thousand and four, right, So I think that 298 00:14:31,428 --> 00:14:33,388 Speaker 1: if you were looking for the Dallas Cowboys to repeat 299 00:14:33,388 --> 00:14:35,548 Speaker 1: and be there, they did not keep up with the 300 00:14:35,628 --> 00:14:38,628 Speaker 1: likes of the Philadelphia Eagles. Just didn't do it. So 301 00:14:39,388 --> 00:14:42,788 Speaker 1: when you lose arguably your best player, that becomes a 302 00:14:42,948 --> 00:14:46,188 Speaker 1: huge problem for them. They are deficient on the offensive line, 303 00:14:46,908 --> 00:14:50,428 Speaker 1: they are cap strong because of cap strap because of 304 00:14:50,468 --> 00:14:53,148 Speaker 1: the Ezekiel Elliott deal as well as a Smith deal, 305 00:14:53,188 --> 00:14:54,828 Speaker 1: and they are just not in a good position. And 306 00:14:54,868 --> 00:14:57,348 Speaker 1: I think you watched last year and how they ultimately lost. 307 00:14:57,388 --> 00:15:00,068 Speaker 1: I think the biggest liability was their head coach. So, 308 00:15:00,268 --> 00:15:03,068 Speaker 1: I mean this is this is combustible in every aspect 309 00:15:03,108 --> 00:15:05,188 Speaker 1: that you're going to look at, Right, season's not gonna 310 00:15:05,228 --> 00:15:07,748 Speaker 1: go well, and Mike McCarthy's going to be sit there 311 00:15:07,948 --> 00:15:10,428 Speaker 1: holding the bag. And there's a guy that came in 312 00:15:10,548 --> 00:15:13,068 Speaker 1: and really sparked what is the brightest part of this team, 313 00:15:13,148 --> 00:15:15,468 Speaker 1: and that's Dan Quinn. Yeah, right, And he is a 314 00:15:15,588 --> 00:15:17,708 Speaker 1: great motivator, a great coach. He's taking a team like 315 00:15:17,788 --> 00:15:21,348 Speaker 1: Atlanta to a super Bowl. I mean it's it's exactly 316 00:15:21,468 --> 00:15:24,588 Speaker 1: how the drama of Dallas plays out and how this 317 00:15:24,788 --> 00:15:27,868 Speaker 1: is going to consume everybody when it comes to it. 318 00:15:28,028 --> 00:15:29,468 Speaker 1: It really is. And we've been caught up in this 319 00:15:29,548 --> 00:15:31,468 Speaker 1: drama here for weeks. Ryan. We we're trying to figure 320 00:15:31,468 --> 00:15:33,588 Speaker 1: out who could be this year's Bengals. We were also 321 00:15:33,748 --> 00:15:36,788 Speaker 1: thrilled last year seeing a Bengals team just out of nowhere, 322 00:15:36,988 --> 00:15:39,308 Speaker 1: like to the Super Bowl. Got a bunch of teams 323 00:15:39,348 --> 00:15:41,188 Speaker 1: that didn't make the playoffs last year who came out 324 00:15:41,228 --> 00:15:43,148 Speaker 1: and want to know you got the Vikings, the Dolphins, 325 00:15:43,228 --> 00:15:46,188 Speaker 1: the Bears are giants down the street. Is there a 326 00:15:46,348 --> 00:15:48,788 Speaker 1: non playoff team from last year who you can see 327 00:15:49,108 --> 00:15:51,028 Speaker 1: not only making the playoffs but maybe even making a run. 328 00:15:51,468 --> 00:15:53,948 Speaker 1: I like the Vikings. Yeah, I really like the Vikings. 329 00:15:54,188 --> 00:15:56,348 Speaker 1: If you look at what went on a year ago 330 00:15:56,468 --> 00:15:59,508 Speaker 1: with Cooper cup Like, people couldn't understand how a guy 331 00:15:59,588 --> 00:16:02,508 Speaker 1: who was leading the league in every possible offensive category 332 00:16:02,788 --> 00:16:06,148 Speaker 1: could get so wide open. Still, well, Kevin O'Connell was 333 00:16:06,188 --> 00:16:08,428 Speaker 1: on that staff. He's the one that game planned. You 334 00:16:08,548 --> 00:16:11,668 Speaker 1: watched what Justin Jefferson did last week that looked very 335 00:16:11,788 --> 00:16:13,868 Speaker 1: similar to what we saw from Cooper Cup because you're like, 336 00:16:14,028 --> 00:16:16,228 Speaker 1: why can't they cover him? You know, why aren't they 337 00:16:16,308 --> 00:16:19,588 Speaker 1: doing the job? And that's really special because Kirk Cousins 338 00:16:19,708 --> 00:16:21,788 Speaker 1: is a quarterback capable of doing something like that. So 339 00:16:21,828 --> 00:16:24,548 Speaker 1: I like the Vikings. I think they win the division. 340 00:16:25,748 --> 00:16:27,468 Speaker 1: Last week. That was the easiest money you could make. 341 00:16:27,508 --> 00:16:30,308 Speaker 1: I think, up against the up against the Packers his 342 00:16:30,428 --> 00:16:33,028 Speaker 1: favorites in that game. So I'm excited for that team. 343 00:16:33,028 --> 00:16:34,908 Speaker 1: I like Kevin O'Connell as the head coach. Yeah, it's 344 00:16:34,908 --> 00:16:36,668 Speaker 1: hard enough to guard Justin Jefferson, but if you put 345 00:16:36,748 --> 00:16:38,948 Speaker 1: him in motion in any given nearly before the ball 346 00:16:39,028 --> 00:16:40,988 Speaker 1: is snapturally, what is happening? How do we keep up 347 00:16:40,988 --> 00:16:43,748 Speaker 1: with this guy? Speaking of what is happening? How do 348 00:16:43,788 --> 00:16:45,788 Speaker 1: I keep up with this guy? Tom Brady is in 349 00:16:45,868 --> 00:16:48,388 Speaker 1: his twenty third season playing in the NFL and you 350 00:16:48,468 --> 00:16:50,588 Speaker 1: were in the draft two years before him. What do 351 00:16:50,708 --> 00:16:53,028 Speaker 1: you make of what he looks like after taking an 352 00:16:53,028 --> 00:16:55,188 Speaker 1: absence in the preseason, get to still come out in 353 00:16:55,268 --> 00:16:57,468 Speaker 1: Week one and look as strong as he did? What 354 00:16:57,548 --> 00:16:59,308 Speaker 1: do you think about that? Well, he knows everything. That's 355 00:16:59,348 --> 00:17:01,388 Speaker 1: happening on a football field. So there's nothing that you're 356 00:17:01,428 --> 00:17:03,748 Speaker 1: going to show him that he hasn't seen. He's prepared 357 00:17:03,788 --> 00:17:06,788 Speaker 1: as anybody. The irony about this is to watch a 358 00:17:06,828 --> 00:17:10,508 Speaker 1: guy who's my age. My last collegiate football game was 359 00:17:10,548 --> 00:17:13,108 Speaker 1: against Tom Brady in the Rose Bowl against Michigan, and 360 00:17:13,148 --> 00:17:16,108 Speaker 1: he couldn't even get on the football field. Yeah, and 361 00:17:16,348 --> 00:17:18,988 Speaker 1: so what he was able to do when he got 362 00:17:19,028 --> 00:17:21,028 Speaker 1: to New England's to sit and learn behind Drew Bledsoe, 363 00:17:21,108 --> 00:17:23,908 Speaker 1: and then he made He may be the most disciplined 364 00:17:23,908 --> 00:17:26,668 Speaker 1: player that I know, because he's done everything he's had to. 365 00:17:26,748 --> 00:17:28,988 Speaker 1: When you ask somebody who comes into the league, what 366 00:17:29,108 --> 00:17:31,548 Speaker 1: are you willing to do to be a Super Bowl champion? 367 00:17:31,588 --> 00:17:35,468 Speaker 1: If their answer isn't anything, there isn't much you can 368 00:17:35,548 --> 00:17:37,028 Speaker 1: do for him. You know you may be able to 369 00:17:37,148 --> 00:17:38,868 Speaker 1: say it, how do you back that up? And his 370 00:17:39,028 --> 00:17:42,228 Speaker 1: discipline is through the roof. And I expect them to 371 00:17:42,308 --> 00:17:45,148 Speaker 1: be very good again this year. I just don't know 372 00:17:45,188 --> 00:17:47,948 Speaker 1: if they have an answer for Dennis Allen in the Saints. 373 00:17:47,948 --> 00:17:50,788 Speaker 1: I mean, they have dominated that series. Tom Brady has 374 00:17:50,868 --> 00:17:53,148 Speaker 1: yet to beat the Saints during a regular season game, 375 00:17:53,268 --> 00:17:55,908 Speaker 1: So we'll see how this week goes and Brady already 376 00:17:55,948 --> 00:17:58,308 Speaker 1: said earlier at some point in training camp he had 377 00:17:58,308 --> 00:18:00,628 Speaker 1: a lot of going on. Ryan, you got a lot 378 00:18:00,668 --> 00:18:02,748 Speaker 1: of stuff going on right now your life as well, 379 00:18:03,108 --> 00:18:05,268 Speaker 1: que us in on every all the moving parts and 380 00:18:05,348 --> 00:18:07,668 Speaker 1: everything you have gone on right now. Well, luckily it's 381 00:18:07,748 --> 00:18:10,988 Speaker 1: good stuff for me. The past, there's been a lot of, 382 00:18:11,668 --> 00:18:15,948 Speaker 1: you know, bad stuff necessarily. But I think that the 383 00:18:16,028 --> 00:18:19,348 Speaker 1: opportunity that I was presented with Points bet is is 384 00:18:19,908 --> 00:18:21,348 Speaker 1: to have my own show. And for the last eight 385 00:18:21,428 --> 00:18:23,388 Speaker 1: years I've been trying to do this in this business, 386 00:18:24,628 --> 00:18:26,268 Speaker 1: and I think I've been a bit of a mercenary. 387 00:18:26,388 --> 00:18:28,188 Speaker 1: Everybody's kind of wanted to work with me, but I 388 00:18:28,348 --> 00:18:30,388 Speaker 1: was just looking for somebody who wanted to invest and 389 00:18:30,468 --> 00:18:33,228 Speaker 1: build something together. And that makes it really exciting for 390 00:18:33,308 --> 00:18:35,548 Speaker 1: me and my family, And I mean they've been the 391 00:18:35,588 --> 00:18:38,388 Speaker 1: biggest support.

Yeah, no headbutting 494 00:23:26,468 --> 00:23:29,468 Speaker 1: anybody you're on television, No, Andrewrith, you don't wear the helmet. 495 00:23:29,628 --> 00:23:32,508 Speaker 1: I gotta protect the dome, and you gotta protect the 496 00:23:32,588 --> 00:23:35,668 Speaker 1: dome exactly. Makeup can only do so much. But you 497 00:23:35,748 --> 00:23:38,148 Speaker 1: were a leader and a veteran presence for years on 498 00:23:38,228 --> 00:23:40,468 Speaker 1: that Rams offensive line. We were so happy to see 499 00:23:40,508 --> 00:23:43,468 Speaker 1: you win one last week though Matthew Stafford, he's got 500 00:23:43,548 --> 00:23:46,788 Speaker 1: taken down seven times. You know, everyone in that offensive 501 00:23:46,828 --> 00:23:49,588 Speaker 1: line room give us some reassurance as to why this 502 00:23:49,748 --> 00:23:53,908 Speaker 1: will not that was an anomaly and not the pattern. Well, 503 00:23:53,908 --> 00:23:55,828 Speaker 1: I think, really you look at this group. I know 504 00:23:55,908 --> 00:23:57,668 Speaker 1: I'm well enough to know the work they put in 505 00:23:57,788 --> 00:23:59,308 Speaker 1: and how much it means to him. And when you're 506 00:23:59,308 --> 00:24:01,588 Speaker 1: talking about the game of football, if you have a 507 00:24:01,628 --> 00:24:03,628 Speaker 1: passion forward and it means a lot to you, that's 508 00:24:03,628 --> 00:24:05,748 Speaker 1: a great place to start. And this group will find 509 00:24:05,828 --> 00:24:08,788 Speaker 1: their way. I think that every offense every season really 510 00:24:09,188 --> 00:24:11,508 Speaker 1: has to find really who they are and what's their 511 00:24:11,628 --> 00:24:13,548 Speaker 1: identity gonna be game in and game out. So I 512 00:24:13,628 --> 00:24:15,588 Speaker 1: think you'll see Sean McVay do a great job of 513 00:24:15,708 --> 00:24:18,388 Speaker 1: finding the identity of this offense and what they're going 514 00:24:18,428 --> 00:24:20,028 Speaker 1: to have to do to play well week in and 515 00:24:20,108 --> 00:24:23,268 Speaker 1: week out, and that'll really be all eleven. You know, 516 00:24:23,308 --> 00:24:25,428 Speaker 1: the offensive line's gonna take heat for these moments, and 517 00:24:25,708 --> 00:24:28,188 Speaker 1: rightfully so you got to protect the quarterback, but it's 518 00:24:28,268 --> 00:24:30,348 Speaker 1: gonna be more fun and how does that eleven work? 519 00:24:30,708 --> 00:24:32,388 Speaker 1: What is their identity in the way they're gonna go 520 00:24:32,428 --> 00:24:35,028 Speaker 1: out and prepare to win every week. And this offensive line, 521 00:24:35,068 --> 00:24:36,628 Speaker 1: I know their heart and their passion for the game. 522 00:24:36,708 --> 00:24:38,868 Speaker 1: I know the work they put in. It's gonna work 523 00:24:38,908 --> 00:24:40,508 Speaker 1: out for them, and they're gonna get better and better 524 00:24:40,548 --> 00:24:44,068 Speaker 1: as the season goes. Well. I hope you take a 525 00:24:44,148 --> 00:24:46,228 Speaker 1: moment to look around and just enjoy yourself. You've got 526 00:24:46,268 --> 00:24:48,188 Speaker 1: so many great things going on. You're retired, you got 527 00:24:48,228 --> 00:24:50,868 Speaker 1: this beautiful family, You're a big media star in your 528 00:24:50,988 --> 00:24:55,308 Speaker 1: raising banners. Last week you unveiled the Rams Super Bowl 529 00:24:55,428 --> 00:24:57,708 Speaker 1: fifty six banner. Let's just relive that and take a 530 00:24:57,788 --> 00:25:13,828 Speaker 1: look watch this Rams is. It's incredible that your final 531 00:25:13,948 --> 00:25:15,748 Speaker 1: game was winning the Super Bowl and you get to 532 00:25:15,788 --> 00:25:18,748 Speaker 1: scream whose house the confetti falls? So many questions, what 533 00:25:18,948 --> 00:25:21,668 Speaker 1: was it like? Were you surprised that Odell was there? 534 00:25:21,908 --> 00:25:23,708 Speaker 1: I think some of the fans were. And then also 535 00:25:23,868 --> 00:25:25,988 Speaker 1: lastly with like, how the hell are these Rams going 536 00:25:26,028 --> 00:25:30,188 Speaker 1: to raise another banner next year? It was unbelievable, just 537 00:25:30,308 --> 00:25:32,948 Speaker 1: the energy and passion of the stadium just filling that 538 00:25:33,108 --> 00:25:35,028 Speaker 1: for that moment. I mean to retire and be away 539 00:25:35,068 --> 00:25:36,548 Speaker 1: from the game. The first thing you think is my 540 00:25:36,628 --> 00:25:38,828 Speaker 1: first game, I'm gonna not have any of that feeling. 541 00:25:38,908 --> 00:25:40,588 Speaker 1: So to get the opportunity to be down on the 542 00:25:40,668 --> 00:25:44,068 Speaker 1: field and that energy was awesome. I wasn't surprised Adelle 543 00:25:44,108 --> 00:25:45,788 Speaker 1: was there because obviously I knew he was coming, but 544 00:25:45,948 --> 00:25:48,388 Speaker 1: you know, he's such a big figure in LA and 545 00:25:48,468 --> 00:25:50,948 Speaker 1: a part of our team last year. I think it 546 00:25:51,028 --> 00:25:52,708 Speaker 1: was cool to have that moment with him. I mean, 547 00:25:52,988 --> 00:25:55,388 Speaker 1: obviously everyone's seen the video of him and I shared 548 00:25:55,388 --> 00:25:57,188 Speaker 1: against the forty nine ers when we lost the game 549 00:25:57,228 --> 00:25:59,188 Speaker 1: but won the division, and I told him we were 550 00:25:59,188 --> 00:26:01,268 Speaker 1: going to go chase a ring together and get one 551 00:26:01,308 --> 00:26:04,668 Speaker 1: of those shiny things. He's definitely somebody's always been special career. 552 00:26:04,708 --> 00:26:06,388 Speaker 1: We've had a great relationship off the field, so it 553 00:26:06,468 --> 00:26:07,868 Speaker 1: was fun to get to be there with them and 554 00:26:08,188 --> 00:26:10,068 Speaker 1: him to get to hold that trophy out was a 555 00:26:10,148 --> 00:26:12,708 Speaker 1: really cool moment together. But as far as the Rams 556 00:26:12,748 --> 00:26:15,108 Speaker 1: winning it again, we all know that's the challenge there. 557 00:26:15,268 --> 00:26:17,908 Speaker 1: There is unbelievable, especially in this league today. The parody 558 00:26:18,028 --> 00:26:22,068 Speaker 1: is unlucky it's ever been. Every team really has reasons 559 00:26:22,108 --> 00:26:24,148 Speaker 1: you could say they have a shot, and there's very 560 00:26:24,188 --> 00:26:26,908 Speaker 1: few teams that you just dismiss immediately, and so I 561 00:26:26,988 --> 00:26:29,068 Speaker 1: think it's gonna be a big challenge. Health is obviously 562 00:26:29,148 --> 00:26:31,588 Speaker 1: going to be a huge one. They've already lost possibly 563 00:26:31,588 --> 00:26:33,268 Speaker 1: a couple of linemen this week that they're trying to 564 00:26:33,268 --> 00:26:35,348 Speaker 1: see whether they can be active and being able to 565 00:26:35,388 --> 00:26:37,708 Speaker 1: stay healthy, play well and realize that you're gonna have 566 00:26:37,708 --> 00:26:39,828 Speaker 1: to be at your best every single week because you 567 00:26:40,028 --> 00:26:42,668 Speaker 1: now are wearing that bull's eye and the targets on you. 568 00:26:42,828 --> 00:26:44,988 Speaker 1: It's gonna be a big challenge and they're gonna need 569 00:26:45,028 --> 00:26:46,868 Speaker 1: a lot of things to go their way to get there. 570 00:26:48,468 --> 00:26:52,508 Speaker 1: All right, We hung you and I at the McVeagh wedding. 571 00:26:52,508 --> 00:26:55,988 Speaker 1: I've mentioned this only six thousand on the show. I 572 00:26:56,108 --> 00:26:58,348 Speaker 1: love mentioning that I was at the wedding. It was 573 00:26:58,388 --> 00:27:01,588 Speaker 1: great hanging with you, But you know that was McVeigh 574 00:27:01,668 --> 00:27:04,108 Speaker 1: in the good moment, smiling. I know Sean after a 575 00:27:04,188 --> 00:27:07,228 Speaker 1: law also, have you spoken to him and what kind 576 00:27:07,268 --> 00:27:09,468 Speaker 1: of state of Sean McVay are we in right now? 577 00:27:09,588 --> 00:27:11,388 Speaker 1: And do you now play the role of lifting him 578 00:27:11,508 --> 00:27:15,668 Speaker 1: up when he gets knocked down. I think that's always 579 00:27:15,708 --> 00:27:17,828 Speaker 1: been something that's been unique to our relationship. It's really 580 00:27:17,868 --> 00:27:19,948 Speaker 1: our ability to talk with each other and kind of 581 00:27:19,988 --> 00:27:22,908 Speaker 1: share after every game different things that we think philosophy 582 00:27:23,068 --> 00:27:25,028 Speaker 1: or just fundamental of our culture and who we are 583 00:27:25,548 --> 00:27:27,628 Speaker 1: at that time, you know, would work the next week 584 00:27:27,748 --> 00:27:30,068 Speaker 1: or really be important for us to keep emphasizing throughout 585 00:27:30,068 --> 00:27:32,228 Speaker 1: our season. And so now it's fun. I get to 586 00:27:32,308 --> 00:27:33,948 Speaker 1: kind of be the guy that just from Afar, make 587 00:27:34,028 --> 00:27:37,108 Speaker 1: him laugh, put a smile on his face, and remind him, man, 588 00:27:37,228 --> 00:27:39,268 Speaker 1: just how special and fun these things are, because you 589 00:27:39,388 --> 00:27:41,268 Speaker 1: know how he is, and when things don't go his way, 590 00:27:41,588 --> 00:27:44,188 Speaker 1: he's upset in a great way. Though it's he's going 591 00:27:44,228 --> 00:27:47,708 Speaker 1: to find a way to be successful. That relentless passion 592 00:27:47,788 --> 00:27:49,828 Speaker 1: and purpose that he carries is what makes him so 593 00:27:50,068 --> 00:27:52,788 Speaker 1: unique in this industry, and so I think really for him, 594 00:27:53,068 --> 00:27:55,108 Speaker 1: he's been pretty quiet this week. I have talked to 595 00:27:55,228 --> 00:27:57,068 Speaker 1: him a lot this weekend, but to me, that means 596 00:27:57,468 --> 00:27:59,948 Speaker 1: he's in the lab and he's brewing, and that that 597 00:28:00,028 --> 00:28:01,788 Speaker 1: guy's going to come out with something special this week 598 00:28:01,868 --> 00:28:06,828 Speaker 1: for sure. Better believe it. Atlanta, watch out. We're so 599 00:28:06,988 --> 00:28:08,668 Speaker 1: happy for you at the end of the year, super 600 00:28:08,708 --> 00:28:11,028 Speaker 1: Bowl champion but also a friend of our show.
