00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 1: not the Buffalo Bills one. Really they're played at Kansas

11
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 1: City on the road. Don't know, I don't narrow. They

Speaker 1: throw down round. It's time to leave block Lee luck.

22
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 1: Let's get ready to a tough football. The Rams have

23
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 1: a tough task on Sunday, facing this guy town braining

24
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:26,400
Speaker 1: the Buccaneers this one in Tampa. Here is what coach

25
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 1: Sean McVeigh had to say to his to the press.

26
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:33,039
Speaker 1: I guess about his team's mindset days before squearing off

27
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 1: against the Goat. I think it's tremendous respect, but not

28
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:41,400
Speaker 1: fear as a competitor. You know, he is a great,

29
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 1: phenomenal player. We have tremendous respect for him. But we're

30
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 1: gonna have the expectation and anticipation that we're preparing to

31
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 1: try to go win this game. And so we know

32
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 1: what a great challenge it's going to be. We've got

33
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 1: to have a great week of work and then go

34
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 1: play to the best of our ability and let the

35
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 1: chips fall where they made. Respect love, reverence, of course

36
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 1: those things exist. But the last time Sean McVeigh and

37
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:08,640
Speaker 1: the Rams went up against Brady, the last two times

38
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 1: they came I mean they came away with a win

39
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 1: week three of the season back a week eleven of

40
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: last season as well. So what are these Rams need

41
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 1: to do to defeat Tom Brady three times in a row,

42
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,640
Speaker 1: which season's like a tough task at trick. Yeah, that's amazing.

43
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: See this, this is a Microsoft surface. You gotta get

44
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 1: Tom Brady throwing them just see this right here, just

45
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:29,799
Speaker 1: chucking it on the sideline that you did get. He said,

46
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 1: that's the secrets. And I think there's four guys who

47
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:34,360
Speaker 1: do It's very simple. The Rams are made up with

48
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 1: all these superstars at Odell and Jaln and Stafford and great,

49
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 1: but it's these four guys. This is very, very simple.

50
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 1: The four sack leaders for the Los Angeles Rams. Aaron Donald,

51
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 1: you know him, folk hero, Leonard Floyd. One of those

52
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: problems in Chicago was he couldn't put on weight because

53
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 1: he was too ripped. That was an actual thing. Von

54
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 1: Miller chicken enthusiast leg will get to him in a second.

55
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 1: And Big Greg Gaines, that's a three hundred pound or

56
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 1: a third year guy. He's the other guy next to Donald.

57
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 1: They have to get after Brady. I'm trying to think guys,

58
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:03,079
Speaker 1: especially in the Von Miller example, I can't think of

59
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:06,119
Speaker 1: a lot of times in Brady's career that he's lost shootouts.

60
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 1: It doesn't happen a ton you know, normally, it's it's

61
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 1: the defensive line, it's these guys, it's Von, it's doing this.

62
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:15,359
Speaker 1: You think he lost the shootout against Nick Foles in Philadelphia,

63
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 1: and I don't want that happening today Agan, and then

64
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:21,239
Speaker 1: Los Angeles because I don't. I think typically these shootouts

65
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 1: are lost when someone makes a big mistake, like in

66
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 1: that Eagles game, Brady finally fumbled, then they lost. I

67
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:28,360
Speaker 1: don't think if you're a Matt Stafford guy, as much

68
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 1: as we accelebrate his win last week, I don't think

69
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 1: you want him going toe to Toegan's Brady winning for

70
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 1: someone to make a mistake. I think you want Von

71
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 1: and you want Donald, and you want hitting him and

72
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 1: hitting him and hitting him. This game, you remember, is

73
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 1: almost an iconic game, and the Brady lower Von had

74
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 1: an interception in this game, you basically took it over.

75
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 1: I think that you you didn't bring in Von Miller

76
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 1: so you could win in the wildcard round. I think

77
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 1: you brought him in so you can win games like this.

78
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 1: As much as I love Stafford in the offensive guys,

79
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 1: it's plays like that and winning a game seventeen to

80
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 1: fourteen to Pete tom Brady, not thirty eight to thirty five.

81
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 1: I think the front four has to dominator. I don't

82
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 1: have a chance. Yeah, there's no mystery about how you

83
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 1: defend tom Brady. How do you get after him? They

84
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 1: really have. You gotta drop as many guys in the

85
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: coverage as you can, and you're front four, you're three.

86
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 1: If you're only rushing three, they have to get they

87
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 1: have to get to tom Brady, they have to get home.

88
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 1: In the first matchup, it was a week week three

89
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 1: of this season. What they did was Roy Morris had

90
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 1: a great plan. He just basically sat at a certain

91
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:24,720
Speaker 1: amount of yards and let the front four just go

92
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 1: eat and tom Brady had to throw the ball with

93
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:28,840
Speaker 1: fifty five times or something like that. That's a lot

94
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 1: of times to be throwing the football. But a way

95
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 1: that the Rams can just establish themselves and win this

96
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,840
Speaker 1: game flat out. Established the run, game, established the line

97
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:39,360
Speaker 1: of scrimmage. And I've been seeing that from this Rams

98
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 1: offense over the last I don't know, five or six

99
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 1: weeks of the regular season. Sony Michelle's touches have went up.

100
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 1: You saw cam Acres in a great return last week.

101
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 1: Actually returned Week eighteen, but he got more carries last week,

102
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 1: and he had fresh legs. All of those things. Seeing

103
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 1: in that Week three matchup, Matthew Stafford went empty. They

104
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:58,799
Speaker 1: didn't run the football as much. They only had seventy

105
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 1: six rushing yards. And you got to understand the nature

106
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 1: in the style of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense. They

107
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 1: don't want to give up a blade of grass. They

108
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,600
Speaker 1: pride themselves and stopping the run. So what you do.

109
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 1: You show him to run a few times? Right, you

110
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 1: get four in five yards when you when you when

111
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 1: you run the football, so you can force those safeties

112
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 1: to come to the line of scrimmage and then totally

113
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 1: change up the game plan and go play action and

114
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 1: be explosive because I think this Rams offense it's more

115
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 1: explosive now than when they beat him and were willing

116
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 1: season well, because I just think Odell is a better receiver.

117
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 1: He's not a one trick pony. You see what I'm saying.

118
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 1: De Sean Jackson could only go deep and still Stafford

119
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:40,279
Speaker 1: missed him two times. I mean he could have had

120
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,719
Speaker 1: to a three touchdowns. Yeah, So Righty Morris's defensive coordinator

121
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 1: of the Rams and he's got this great responsibility. How

122
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:48,840
Speaker 1: do you stop ground? How do you stop Mike Evans?

123
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:53,600
Speaker 1: I find it fascinating the storylines here that eleven years ago, right,

124
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,279
Speaker 1: he Morris was the coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers

125
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,280
Speaker 1: as the head coach of the team at thirty two

126
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 1: years old, and was given that opportunity and now has

127
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 1: to construct a game plan and is now interviewing for

128
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 1: head coaching job. It has to go and beat his

129
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 1: former team and now as a defensive coordinator as another team.

130
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 1: And I think that they have the ingredients. I think

131
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 1: they have the ingredients. Kyle, you nailed it. There's a

132
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:19,160
Speaker 1: plan on how you beat Tom Brady defensively, you send

133
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 1: the dogs, but also you got to stop the run,

134
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:23,479
Speaker 1: and that is what they did last time. Take a

135
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 1: look at the rushing leaders the last time these two

136
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 1: teams played Brady fourteen yards on the ground. And hey,

137
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,840
Speaker 1: Ronald Jones, we don't know if he's going Fournette. We

138
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 1: hope he's going. We don't know. This might be Levion

139
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,159
Speaker 1: Bell and Keishawn Vaughan and Geo Bernard. And if it

140
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 1: gets to be that, you're gonna let Brady have to

141
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,040
Speaker 1: throw all over. I don't see Brady winning this game

142
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 1: if he has to throw all over you. I'll add

143
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,719
Speaker 1: in two more points that I think are huge, Tristan

144
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 1: Worth's and Ryan Jensen. We don't know if you're playing.

145
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 1: Today's practice for the Buccaneers is going to be so

146
00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:00,719
Speaker 1: important if they're not out there for the Thursday day practice.

147
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:04,600
Speaker 1: I have great concerns about Hey, Friday practice and then

148
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:06,919
Speaker 1: get ready Saturday where let's walk through, and then Sunday

149
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 1: game against Aaron Donald, Vaughan Miller, Leonard Floyd, Greg Gaines.

150
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 1: Like how you mentioned. I honestly think that those two players,

151
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 1: not Gronk, not Evans, not Fournette, are the most valuable

152
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 1: players to Brady this week. And if they have them

153
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 1: Worf's and Jensen, let's go. If they don't, this could

154
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 1: be a long day for Brady. He's concerned about worfs.

155
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 1: You said it. He was pretty transparent about it too.

156
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 1: I mean, those running numbers are crazy. Yesterday you're you go,

157
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 1: Leonard got hurt in that game? I go, No, he didn't.

158
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 1: We talked about it. We're like, what happened in this game?

159
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 1: And they just abandoned it and it obviously didn't work

160
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 1: out for them to go back to your Odell thing.

161
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 1: I agree with you. I think he's going to have

162
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 1: to have a huge game. Cooper couple do his thing,

163
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 1: but he's not their shot guy. We thought brilliantly in

164
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 1: week eighteen Odella Moore well rounded wide receiver. I don't

165
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 1: know if they win that first matchup, if you know

166
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 1: they don't have DeShawn Jackson out there, I think I

167
00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 1: feel good in saying that they need someone they can

168
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:01,679
Speaker 1: go to. Jee Now this is also where Matthew Stafford

169
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 1: makes mistakes. And you can say you don't want Brady

170
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 1: to throw shrikes. I think he's gonna throw. I think

171
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 1: it is going to be lost to Mike Evans, lots

172
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 1: to Gronk like we saw even just last week. He

173
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 1: is a big play waiting to happen. Can he make

174
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,239
Speaker 1: that big play? Can Stafford get him the ball because

175
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 1: he's I think it's gonna come down to an Odell

176
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 1: Beckham brilliant addition to the team. It's all worked, but

177
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 1: I think it's it's on Odell to be that guy

178
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 1: and give that team that option. And I think and

179
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 1: I think O'Dell will be able to do it. I mean, yeah,

180
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 1: you just look at the way Sean McVay uses and

181
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 1: deploys m Odell Beckham. He puts them on one side

182
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 1: the backside of a three by one, puts Cooper Cup

183
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 1: on the inside on the other side, and you literally,

184
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:40,840
Speaker 1: you can see it on tape. You split the defense

185
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 1: in half. Both of those guys require two sets of

186
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 1: eyes on them, so you literally split the split the

187
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 1: defense in half, and then you can gain plan to

188
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:49,679
Speaker 1: get other guys open. I think it's gonna be a

189
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 1: great chess match. I just last week the Eagles come

190
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:54,320
Speaker 1: into Philly and to Tampa, and we made this whole

191
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:57,080
Speaker 1: thing about the Eagles. They looked like they were a

192
00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,440
Speaker 1: little bit it was too big for the moment, right

193
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 1: Like that one was just I don't think the Rams

194
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 1: are scared Brady, which I think is a huge place

195
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 1: to be mentally going into that and from there to

196
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 1: play football. But there's not going to be this ten

197
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 1: point Hey, we'll spot you ten because you're just scared

198
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 1: of Brady, the big bad wolf like that doesn't exist

199
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 1: with this. They're not afraid of Brady. No GMFB with

200
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:19,559
Speaker 1: your thoughts, Great Mike Garafolo joining us right now, Mike

201
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:22,560
Speaker 1: right here in New York. The Giants, they are looking

202
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 1: to fill that general manager vacancy Dave Gentleman retiring and

203
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 1: walking away. Also their head coach spot open. Where are

204
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 1: they in that search? Well, they've begun the head coaching

205
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 1: search Kay Adams by requesting Dan Quinn, the former Falcons

206
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 1: head coach now the Cowboys defensive coordinator. So what does

207
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 1: that tell you, Well, go back to what John Marra

208
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:46,560
Speaker 1: and ownership have said over the last week plus, and

209
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:50,439
Speaker 1: that is that the new general manager will oversee coaching. Well,

210
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 1: they don't have a new general manager yet. They are

211
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:55,439
Speaker 1: in the process of conducting their second round of interviews.

212
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 1: Ryan Poles from the Chiefs went yesterday, Joe Shane from

213
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 1: the Bills the day before, and today it will be

214
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 1: Adam Peters from the forty nine Ers. Now, I was

215
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 1: told there's a possibility there could be a fourth general

216
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 1: manager interview, but we don't know of that officially just yet.

217
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,320
Speaker 1: So the Giants are winding down the GM interview. So

218
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 1: the fact that they are already lining up dan Quinn

219
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 1: tells you that that is a common candidate amongst the

220
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 1: general managers that they have spoken to already. So they're

221
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,679
Speaker 1: gonna move on Quinn, who's got other options and can

222
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 1: take a job now because his team is out of

223
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 1: the postseason. The Giants want to get their card in

224
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 1: and say, hey, we would like a dance as well.

225
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 1: So that's what's happening with the Giants right now. There

226
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 1: will be more head coaching candidates to come, but they

227
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:38,319
Speaker 1: want to make sure that they get in with Quinn,

228
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 1: who is again a guy that all their candidates seem

229
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:44,080
Speaker 1: to agree on, is a candidate for their head coaching job.

230
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 1: He is one of the most recognizable voices in all

231
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 1: of entertainment and all of the world. He's a living

232
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 1: I can't do it. He's a living legend. He's a

233
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 1: man who gets us all ready to rumble. How excaturay

234
00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:00,560
Speaker 1: for this one, ladies and gentlemen, A big good morning football.

235
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 1: Welcome to mister Michael Puffer. Oh thanks a lot, Thanks Kyle, appreciate,

236
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 1: thank you. We are so excited to have you, and

237
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 1: thank you and half of all of us for that

238
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:16,679
Speaker 1: unbelievable Angry Runs introduction you did this week. I had

239
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 1: a shot out of a candid. We know you're a

240
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 1: big fan of Angry Runs. Was this amazing? Michael thank you,

241
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:24,200
Speaker 1: and let's put you on the spot. Do you have

242
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 1: a favorite angry runner in this NFL season? Who you got? Yeah,

243
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 1: you know, I probably would say because he's got he's

244
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:36,960
Speaker 1: won two scepters, that the Naji Harris would be my man. Yeah,

245
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 1: you know for the year for twenty twenty one. I mean,

246
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:43,960
Speaker 1: he's the two time winner, right, But this week instead

247
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 1: of angry runs, you had angry round and the guy

248
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:50,559
Speaker 1: that just blew me away because he threw t J.

249
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 1: Watt down like Raggedy Andy turnaround quote a touchdown, Nick

250
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:59,679
Speaker 1: Ala Gretty from the Kansas City Chiefs, And what really

251
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:04,959
Speaker 1: captured my heart there was this moment where he turned

252
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 1: and did a victory run and it only lasted one

253
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 1: second because his teammates all ran in and grabbed him.

254
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:13,439
Speaker 1: And it reminded me of when Rudy ran onto the

255
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 1: field to get into he and he's pumping his fist

256
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 1: as he runs into the field, and Ala Gretty had

257
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 1: that same move and that same look just for one second.

258
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I could hear the music playing, you

259
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 1: know it was. It was a great moment, but Naji

260
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 1: probably gets it for the year. But my heart goes

261
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 1: out that Nick Alagretti for you know, scoring a touchdown

262
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:43,680
Speaker 1: and having that great moment. I look, Grett, we have

263
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:45,560
Speaker 1: two hours left to the show, but we can hang

264
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 1: it up. That was the best answer I ever had

265
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 1: to a question. You even saying Nick Alagretty's name, with

266
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 1: the way you say it is so beautiful. You've you've

267
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 1: done a lot of announcing for football games over the

268
00:12:57,880 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 1: years as well. And here I am Monday Night Football.

269
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 1: We're also on our couches and there's the man with

270
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 1: the voice, Michael Buffer, doing the Rams pregame for the

271
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 1: team's first home playoff game at SOFI Stadium. What was

272
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 1: that like for you? And what was the atmosphere in

273
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 1: the building. That was the third time I did it

274
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 1: for the Rams this year, and I've got to tell you, Peter,

275
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 1: that was what was really nice about it was they

276
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:27,960
Speaker 1: were red hot. The Rams fans packed that stadium. Now

277
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:29,959
Speaker 1: a lot of times, you know, we've all seen this

278
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 1: through the years with the Rams. They were in the Coliseum,

279
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:36,319
Speaker 1: they went to Anaheim, they went to Saint Louis, a

280
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 1: big cross of Saint Louis. But here in LA when

281
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 1: the visitors get all these cheers and they scored a touchdown,

282
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:47,960
Speaker 1: It's like, is this really la? But they turned out.

283
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 1: They turned out red hot, they were loud, they were vocal.

284
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:54,080
Speaker 1: I could hear it when I did my thing at

285
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 1: the beginning of the game before the kickoff, and it

286
00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:01,640
Speaker 1: was really exciting. And that stadium, wow. I don't know

287
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 1: if you've been there yet, but man, that is one

288
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 1: fantastic place to watch a game. You know. I love

289
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 1: at and T Stadium with the Cowboys play. I've worked

290
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:15,200
Speaker 1: there many times. Great stadium, the big the big board

291
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 1: in the middle of the TV screen. But so far

292
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 1: and the super Bowl is going to be there, so

293
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 1: it's a great place to go to. And it's great

294
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 1: to see the Rams fans turn out. I went once.

295
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 1: It's so much stimulation. It's amazing. Michael, good morning, Thank

296
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 1: you for being here. You are an appolutation that I'd

297
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 1: be remissed to say good morning. You and I worked together.

298
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:38,600
Speaker 1: It was incredible to watch you in the ring, and

299
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 1: you were always so supportive of me. I moonlighted covering boxing.

300
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 1: Didn't know what I was doing, Michael had no reason

301
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 1: to be nice to me. I was spinning the ring

302
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 1: with you, and you are so incredible to me, So

303
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 1: I will forever be indebted to you. Oh, thanks, appreciate welcome.

304
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 1: Let's talk about your Twitter. We were scouring it and

305
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 1: I saw an interesting take that you had earlier this

306
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 1: season that caught my eye. You suggested the Eagles that

307
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 1: use offensive tackle Jordan my Alatta, who we love on

308
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 1: the show, as a fridge style running back. I'm all

309
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 1: for this. I follow your Twitter, But tell me why

310
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 1: you think this would work out well for Eagles. You know,

311
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 1: here's the thing, um, there's an I'm an Eagles fan

312
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 1: born and raised in Phillionaire, so I always follow a

313
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 1: Bleeding Green Nation. It's a fan website, and they posted

314
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 1: a clip of nineteen year old Jordan Milatta running through

315
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 1: in rugby, playing rugby, never played football, running through the

316
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 1: entire field like a four f one fifty in a

317
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 1: Grammar schoolyard. I mean, it was it was unbelieving. You

318
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 1: got it there? Yeah, I mean the guy, Yeah, he's

319
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 1: just stood, he's fast. He probably weighs thirty forty pounds

320
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 1: less there, but look at him nineteen years old. Oh

321
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 1: my god. It just was unbelievable. So it made me think,

322
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 1: why don't you know? It just seems like the coaches

323
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 1: are married to these certain plays. The quarterback sneak whatever

324
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 1: if you put alignment back there, or a tight end.

325
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 1: The running back in the same set, maybe a weird

326
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 1: eye formation or whatever. Especially with the Eagles, if it

327
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 1: is Jordan's going to get the ball, is Hurt's going

328
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:19,040
Speaker 1: to keep it and go behind Jordan is a running back.

329
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 1: When they go behind Jordan, I mean that guy's gonna

330
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 1: make a hole and you're gonna score a touchdown. That

331
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 1: my thoughts only, But it's just I don't know why

332
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 1: more teams don't do it. The Fridge did it and

333
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:34,880
Speaker 1: he became a big superstar. There we go, mister Buffer.

334
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 1: First of all, a great name, Michael Buffer. Michael is

335
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 1: an awesome name, and you should probably throw your name

336
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 1: in the hat for head coaching. The offensive coordinator attitudes. Man,

337
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:48,239
Speaker 1: I mean that offense you're describing, I lost state championships

338
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 1: to it. It's called the whirlie Bird. It's a real offense.

339
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 1: So you need to think about coaching one day. But

340
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 1: let's get real. Like your trademark phrase, let's get ready

341
00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 1: to rumble, it's iconic. What are the origins behind the phrase?

342
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:04,399
Speaker 1: You know, Michael a great name, by the way, Michael,

343
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 1: the thing is when I first started forty years ago

344
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:14,520
Speaker 1: in my middle to late thirties with the electronic age,

345
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:17,880
Speaker 1: and fighters were coming to the ring with the music

346
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 1: and a DJ in the house sometimes and just the

347
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:25,160
Speaker 1: crowd gets excited. They anticipate things. They have TV screens,

348
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 1: they're seeing everything. The lights dim, the lights come up,

349
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:31,440
Speaker 1: and the ring announcers somewhere along the line that started

350
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 1: in the TV era where the ring announcers had to

351
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 1: introduce the entire commission. Then if it was one of

352
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 1: these megafights with the WBC and the WBA and the

353
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 1: we had introduced their president and their supervisor and four

354
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 1: doctors and three judges, and it killed the crowd. I mean,

355
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 1: it just like took all the air out of the

356
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 1: room after all that energy and excitement. So I wanted

357
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:03,680
Speaker 1: something that would be a hook, like the famous gentleman,

358
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 1: start your engines at the Indy five hundred, well four

359
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty thousand people go crazy. And I was

360
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 1: blessed to actually do that one time too. And it

361
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:14,680
Speaker 1: you know, I tried to ladies and gentlemen in fest

362
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:18,480
Speaker 1: in your seat belts. It was like sure, nothing, nothing

363
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:22,639
Speaker 1: was happening for Oh, I tried to man your battle stations.

364
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:26,359
Speaker 1: Then you know that I like that one, and you know,

365
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 1: yeah things and the greatest of all times, Muhammad Ali

366
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 1: used to be at the way in and in any

367
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 1: press conference, I'm so pretty, I'm ready to rumble. Rumble,

368
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 1: young man, rumble. So that word was out there and

369
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 1: I don't even I just started to say, let's get

370
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:50,120
Speaker 1: ready to rumble. But I used to say, let's get

371
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 1: ready to rumble twelve rounds of boxing in the heavyweight

372
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 1: you know I didn't. Yeah, And this this really good

373
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:58,119
Speaker 1: friend of mine, the late Jody Berry, used to open

374
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 1: for Ella Fitzgerald and Supper Club, which were really popular

375
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 1: in the fifties and early sixties. And one night we're

376
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:07,120
Speaker 1: having a couple of drinks and he's like, and this guy,

377
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 1: he was great. He was old time Hollywood with the

378
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 1: Clark Gable mustache. And he told me said, Michael, when

379
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:17,080
Speaker 1: you sorry, let's get ready to rumble, shut the up.

380
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 1: I'm like, because people want to react to it. I mean,

381
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 1: he knew about stage presence and show business and timing.

382
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 1: And I tried it. You know, I took a few

383
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 1: seconds off after saying let's get ready to rumble and

384
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 1: the crowd reacted, and that way I knew I could

385
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:41,720
Speaker 1: pass that onto the stars of the show, the fighters.

386
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 1: That's that's what I wanted, was to bring that energy

387
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 1: back to the crowd. And you know, I've been blessed

388
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:50,880
Speaker 1: with being able to do it for the World Series

389
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:54,440
Speaker 1: and Stanley Cup finals and NBA finals and maybe some

390
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:56,480

433
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:26,040
Speaker 1: Thank you for being you were always so excited to

434
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:27,879
Speaker 1: see you. I wish I could be a Nashville to

435
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 1: watch this game. But we got to start with the

436
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:32,600
Speaker 1: scene in Cincinnati home Field. Such a great crowd. It

437
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:36,480
Speaker 1: was last Saturday, you broke that thirty one year drought.

438
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 1: What was the mentality heading into that one? And and well,

439
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:42,679
Speaker 1: just what did it feel like after? Yeah, you know,

440
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 1: I think the main thing that we focused on all

441
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:46,760
Speaker 1: week was the fact that we had kind of been

442
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 1: in this situation before, you know, when we were playing

443
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:50,359
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, when we were playing kind of some of

444
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:53,640
Speaker 1: the later games. We in our mind thought that these

445
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 1: were playoff games and they had playoff implications, and you know,

446
00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 1: we had we got a young team, so they don't

447
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 1: really think too much about the moment. They're thinking the

448
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:03,880
Speaker 1: moment's too big or anything like that, which is nice.

449
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:06,480
Speaker 1: And we're playing loose, so that was the main that

450
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:09,439
Speaker 1: was the main point of emphasis. Just play loose, you know,

451
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:11,879
Speaker 1: have fun, you know, play within ourselves and go out

452
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:15,160
Speaker 1: there and get the dobbin. You're always loose, man. That's

453
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:16,800
Speaker 1: why we love you. We root for you. You're a

454
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 1: great player, and you're such a fun personality, which is

455
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:22,199
Speaker 1: why we were thrilled CJ. When you score your first

456
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:26,399
Speaker 1: career postseason touchdown in that game, and right on Q

457
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 1: you celebrated by hitting the legendary Ikey shuffle. It was beautiful,

458
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 1: and so is Ikey Woods himself appearing on this network

459
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:38,440
Speaker 1: this week with some things to say about your tribute.

460
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:41,960
Speaker 1: Take a listen to Jack Oh Man. I loved it, man,

461
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 1: I loved it, you know, just to see him get

462
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:47,760
Speaker 1: out there and pay homage to me and then throw

463
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 1: his little extra little bit in at the end. Man.

464
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:53,200
Speaker 1: I oh, I was in the stands. I was going crazy. Man.

465
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:56,119
Speaker 1: We had a wonderful time. You called this the ikey

466
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:59,479
Speaker 1: gritty I guess like put them all together gritty. At

467
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:05,680
Speaker 1: the end, he said he had a wonderful time. Two questions,

468
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:08,159
Speaker 1: what's it like to hear that from a Bengals legend?

469
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:10,320
Speaker 1: And should you get in the end zone this weekend?

470
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:14,520
Speaker 1: What do you got planned? Uh? No, that's that's huge,

471
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:16,679
Speaker 1: And that's kind of what I wanted to do. I

472
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:18,119
Speaker 1: kind of wanted to pay him oats to him, and

473
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 1: I knew he was the royal of the jungle, and

474
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 1: I thought that'd be kind of cool to do and

475
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:24,800
Speaker 1: throw your own little spin on it. Um. The execution

476
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:27,240
Speaker 1: was so so, but I thought it was I thought

477
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 1: it was a fun idea. Um. And then this week

478
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:33,399
Speaker 1: I don't know yet I figured it out, you know,

479
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:35,480
Speaker 1: in the hotel bed the night before. I'll just think

480
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:36,959
Speaker 1: of something to be like, all right, that sounds good.

481
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:41,360
Speaker 1: Let's just let's just pull this out there you go. Man.

482
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 1: I like the footwork, Man, the footwork was awesome. I

483
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:47,200
Speaker 1: was like, look at CEJ doing his thing. Man. But look,

484
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:50,760
Speaker 1: in all seriousness, let's talk about your leader and quarterback

485
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:54,640
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow. He's been balling all season. Um when asked

486
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:57,119
Speaker 1: about the wild card win yesterday, he said he was

487
00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:00,679
Speaker 1: trying to downplay because that's the new normal in sense now,

488
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:03,119
Speaker 1: c J, what do you think about those words coming

489
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:06,000
Speaker 1: from your leader and is there more work to be done?

490
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:13,200
Speaker 1: You're talking about Joe with the glasses on after the Yeah,

491
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:19,720
Speaker 1: you know, Joe's Joe's cool. Joe's a cool customer out there,

492
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:22,720
Speaker 1: and and he's right, you know, that's that's the standard

493
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:25,639
Speaker 1: right now for us is winning these games and putting

494
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:28,320
Speaker 1: ourselves in a position to win the Super Bowl. So

495
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:31,399
Speaker 1: he uh, you know, after after the game, we were

496
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:33,159
Speaker 1: in the locker room, people were kind of celebrating, and

497
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:35,159
Speaker 1: he was just like he was business as usual. He

498
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:38,200
Speaker 1: was taking his pads off. No cigar for him this time,

499
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:40,720
Speaker 1: no nothing, just hey, we're onto the next one. And

500
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 1: you love that. You love seeing that out of your quarterback.

501
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:45,360
Speaker 1: You know, hey, look, we want a playoff game. That's

502
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 1: all fine, but that's not that's not what we signed

503
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:49,879
Speaker 1: up for at the beginning of the season. So um,

504
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 1: I love it. I love seeing that out of him.

505
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:56,240
Speaker 1: Thirty one years, this fan base has waited and after

506
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 1: the win last weekend, your head coach, Zach Taylor started

507
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 1: a pretty cool tradition. He brought game balls to Bengals

508
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:05,679
Speaker 1: fans at local bars and they were unexpectedly surprised to

509
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 1: see their head coach, their punter Kevin Huber. You then

510
00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:12,080
Speaker 1: were tasked with delivering a ball yourself to a bar

511
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:16,800
Speaker 1: called Waltz Hitching Post in Fort Right, Kentucky. What was

512
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:18,840
Speaker 1: that experience like for you? And what do you think

513
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 1: of this new tradition of delivering game balls to the

514
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:25,240
Speaker 1: fans after big Bengals wins. I think it's awesome one

515
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:28,320
Speaker 1: since Zach kind of since coach had threw me under

516
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:31,199
Speaker 1: the bus last last week with the last time I

517
00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:34,680
Speaker 1: was on with our little Jeopardy, he got idd when

518
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 1: he went to that bar by the way. Um, so

519
00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:43,440
Speaker 1: that awesome. But it was it was great. It was great.

520
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:45,959
Speaker 1: Um you know, they they teared up a little bit.

521
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,880
Speaker 1: They ended up sending me flowers yesterday just to say

522
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:51,720
Speaker 1: thank you in a nice note. But I think it's awesome.

523
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:54,639
Speaker 1: I think it's awesome to get the city involved. Um,

524
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:56,400
Speaker 1: you know, they had our back. We had sixty six

525
00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 1: plus thousand strong in the stadium in the jungle. So

526
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:02,960
Speaker 1: I think it's awesome. A nice little tradition. There's going

527
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:04,679
Speaker 1: to be a lot of game balls passed around the

528
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 1: city for years to come, continuing continuing right now this

529
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 1: week hopefully. So Um yeah, I'm high. I think that's

530
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:15,639
Speaker 1: a that's a cool thing you started. It was a

531
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:17,920
Speaker 1: huge advantage. Of course, Waltz here a great place. It's

532
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:19,920
Speaker 1: on my list of places to go to when I'm

533
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 1: in Cincinnati next. Now, Saturday is a big game and

534
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 1: you won't have a ruler of the jungle, and you

535
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:26,400
Speaker 1: won't have a home crowd, and it's the one seed

536
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:29,240
Speaker 1: that's rested. What are you focused on the most heading

537
00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:32,200
Speaker 1: into this game? Because you seem I like the vibe

538
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:35,840
Speaker 1: you're given off. I like where your head's at. Yeah,

539
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:37,760
Speaker 1: you know, I think the main thing in these playoff games,

540
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 1: especially if you're on the road, is no penalties, no

541
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:42,520
Speaker 1: costly penalties, and no turnovers. I think if we start

542
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 1: that way and kind of establish ourselves physically. You know this,

543
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 1: to me and to us as a team, this is

544
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:50,240
Speaker 1: going to be a division game essentially, right. You know,

545
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:53,400
Speaker 1: they're they're a big tough team. You prod themselves on

546
00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:56,479
Speaker 1: being physical, and that's us to a team, right, you know,

547
00:28:56,520 --> 00:29:00,240
Speaker 1: this is this is this is postseason football to its seed,

548
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:02,960
Speaker 1: and this is kind of what we want to go again.

549
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:06,520
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think we start fast, we don't have

550
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:09,360
Speaker 1: any penalties, and we want to turnover battle. I think,

551
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 1: you know, we should be in a great position to

552
00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:14,320
Speaker 1: win the game and kind of establish establish ourselves early

553
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 1: and trying to get the crowd out of it. So yes,

554
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 1: so let's get this straight. There's some bouncer who says,

555
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 1: all right, so you just want to playoff game? First

556
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:24,160
Speaker 1: sent since denies the head coach of the Bengals. But

557
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:26,480
Speaker 1: what street do you live on and what was your

558
00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:28,400
Speaker 1: day to birth? Recite that for me. That's how that

559
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:33,040
Speaker 1: went down. They parted this guy. Look, look, I'm at

560
00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 1: Waltz and Kevin sends me a text and says, you

561
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:40,120
Speaker 1: won't believe that coach just got just got idd mlts

562
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 1: And I'm sitting here like there's no way, there's no

563
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 1: way that just happening. It's are you after this game?

564
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:48,600
Speaker 1: Are you serious? Um? The moment was too big for

565
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 1: that bouncing. He wasn't paying attention. Clearly, CJ, we love

566
00:29:57,080 --> 00:29:58,800
Speaker 1: you here at the table, wishing you all the best

567
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:01,320
Speaker 1: on the road in Nashville. To get past that one

568
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:03,680
Speaker 1: seed and you just said super Bowl. I'm so excited

569
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:06,320
Speaker 1: and for everything that the future of this team and

570
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow, so go crush it. Thank you very much.

571
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:13,720
Speaker 1: I appreciate you guys having me on. It is our guy,

572
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 1: AJ Hawk, what's up? AJ Welcome? Hey, thanks for having me. Guys,

573
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 1: A big fan of the show. So you guys do

574
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 1: great work, big fan of you. You do great work.

575
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:26,959
Speaker 1: Let's jump right into a j incredible round and playoff

576
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:31,120
Speaker 1: games coming up. We got Bengals, Titans, Niners, Packers, Rams, Bucks,

577
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:33,840
Speaker 1: Bill's Chiefs. When you look at the slate of games, Asia,

578
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:37,960
Speaker 1: where's your mind go? What has you excited this weekend? Well?

579
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:40,960
Speaker 1: I spent nine years in Green Bay playing for the Packers.

580
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:45,040
Speaker 1: With that quarterback over there, that's pretty good Aaron Rodgers.

581
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 1: So I'd say the Packers game is the first one

582
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:49,040
Speaker 1: I think of that I go to Saturday night. I

583
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:52,720
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be amazing. Hopefully it's below zero, maybe

584
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:54,800
Speaker 1: some snow flurries that would be awesome to see. But

585
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:57,320
Speaker 1: I'm really really excited to see how the Packers look

586
00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:00,560
Speaker 1: coming off that by week, see how Aaron's toes is going,

587
00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:04,080
Speaker 1: and also how some of these some of these guys

588
00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:06,400
Speaker 1: that are finally getting healthy, what they look like when

589
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:08,120
Speaker 1: they get in there and they get some reps here

590
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:13,360
Speaker 1: to player. Yep, aj, you were on a show with

591
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:16,760
Speaker 1: Pet McAfee, the Show of Note for Ruining interviews of

592
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, and you of course have him on on Tuesdays,

593
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 1: and you did, I want to talk to you about

594
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:27,600
Speaker 1: the MVP conversation. He obviously deserves it and he's in

595
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:29,560
Speaker 1: the race. Do you think he'll get it without a

596
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 1: doubt this year? I don't know without a doubt if

597
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:35,920
Speaker 1: you know he's going to run away with it, But

598
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:38,120
Speaker 1: I absolutely believe that he deserves it. And I know

599
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:41,160
Speaker 1: I've seen Tom's numbers and what Tom has been able

600
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:45,480
Speaker 1: to do in Tampa. It's just it's absolutely remarkable. But man,

601
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:48,840
Speaker 1: ever since that first game against the Saints, when the

602
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:51,800
Speaker 1: Packers obviously weren't really themselves, I feel like Aaron has

603
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:54,560
Speaker 1: just been on to tear and he just so efficient.

604
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:58,080
Speaker 1: He doesn't turn the ball over, and you always, I mean,

605
00:31:58,080 --> 00:31:59,720
Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm biased or what, but whenever,

606
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:02,240
Speaker 1: if Aaron's in the lineup, I feel like the Packers

607
00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:04,040
Speaker 1: are always in the game, no matter what the score is.

608
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:06,200
Speaker 1: No matter what's going on, you'd be like, Okay, they're

609
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:07,840
Speaker 1: gonna turn it on. He's gonna find a way to

610
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:10,840
Speaker 1: get a victory. And I just every time I see him,

611
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 1: I feel that way. So I absolutely believe that he

612
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 1: should be able to a j Let's go to your

613
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 1: side of the ball. For years, you were the leader

614
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:21,600
Speaker 1: of that linebackers room, and the defense is gonna have

615
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:23,760
Speaker 1: to come up big here. We've seen this forty nine

616
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:25,920
Speaker 1: Ers attack week after week after week. You know exactly

617
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 1: what's coming. It's Kittle, it's use Check, it's Debo, it's

618
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:32,280
Speaker 1: Trent Williams, and it's the big boys pushing those linebackers around.

619
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:36,360
Speaker 1: Is this Packers team physical enough to keep that San

620
00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:40,760
Speaker 1: Francistico offense off the field. They'd better be. I mean,

621
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:46,440
Speaker 1: they've seen it firsthand. I feel like obviously here from

622
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:49,680
Speaker 1: the last time they've played the Niners, an NFC championship

623
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:52,000
Speaker 1: game out in San Francisco. But that's why I think

624
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:54,000
Speaker 1: Shanahand has such a good job. Yeah, of course they're

625
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:55,480
Speaker 1: gonna try to pound the ball. They're gonna try to

626
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:57,400
Speaker 1: be physical and win the line of scrimmage. But he's

627
00:32:57,520 --> 00:32:59,240
Speaker 1: very creative how it gets to it with a different

628
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:03,120
Speaker 1: personnel group, different backs, I mean, Deebo Samuel Obviously you

629
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:04,920
Speaker 1: never know, like what do you consider him when you're

630
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:09,040
Speaker 1: trying to identify the offense like receiver, running back, slot,

631
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:11,640
Speaker 1: receiver XZ, Like you never really know. This guy can

632
00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:14,040
Speaker 1: do everything. So I think Shanahan does a good job

633
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:16,240
Speaker 1: of keeping you on your toes and kind of thinking

634
00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:19,240
Speaker 1: pre staff if you're a defensive player. But then also

635
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:21,840
Speaker 1: that once that Bowl is snapped, those dudes are coming

636
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:26,280
Speaker 1: downhill and they're trying to run you over. Yeah, a

637
00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:28,840
Speaker 1: j Now, you've been a part of a Super Bowl

638
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:31,400
Speaker 1: winning team before. You were a part of the Packers

639
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:33,320
Speaker 1: team back when they beat the Steelers back in Super

640
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:37,080
Speaker 1: Bowl forty five. Since then, the Packers have not been back.

641
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:40,440
Speaker 1: From a players standpoint, how much do you crave another

642
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:43,920
Speaker 1: Super Bowl game after you got to that, after you

643
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:48,120
Speaker 1: got that first one under your belt. That's a good question.

644
00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:51,320
Speaker 1: First off, I gotta let you know, man, the closest

645
00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:54,520
Speaker 1: I have ever come to being concussed was trying to

646
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:57,680
Speaker 1: hit you on the sidelines at Ohio Stadium when we

647
00:33:57,720 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 1: were in college. So Mike, credit to Hu Man, you

648
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:02,520
Speaker 1: have a rock hard skull and you know how to

649
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:04,600
Speaker 1: use it. So I appreciate you and what you do.

650
00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:06,280
Speaker 1: I had to run into you. I had to run

651
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:08,200
Speaker 1: into you a few times in the NFL as well,

652
00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:10,920
Speaker 1: But I still remember that shot. It was just a throwaway.

653
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:12,480
Speaker 1: I'm sure you don't even remember. I'm trying to knock

654
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:13,920
Speaker 1: you out of bounce and I hit you as a

655
00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:16,400
Speaker 1: chief I us hit with ten baseball bats right in

656
00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:19,800
Speaker 1: the head. So I respect that, Mike. I think it's awesome.

657
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:23,759
Speaker 1: But going back to your original thing, I think, at

658
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:26,320
Speaker 1: least for myself, when we won the Super Bowl, it

659
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:28,520
Speaker 1: made me much more hungry to trying to get more.

660
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:30,799
Speaker 1: I'm definitely regret the fact that we didn't get any

661
00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:33,200
Speaker 1: more during my time there went Aaron Rodgers at home.

662
00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:36,360
Speaker 1: So I think it makes you more hungry because whatever

663
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:38,239
Speaker 1: happens once you won the Super Bowl, it's like, all right,

664
00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:40,920
Speaker 1: that's the standard, that's the goal every single year. Anything

665
00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:43,320
Speaker 1: less than that is just a waste of a season almost,

666
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:45,600
Speaker 1: So I think it gives you more motivations to try

667
00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:50,799
Speaker 1: to get more. Absolutely prolific cranium on Mike Robinson. He's

668
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:52,400
Speaker 1: the first person to tell you, I mean it is

669
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:55,840
Speaker 1: a massive costco sized skull and he knows how to

670
00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:57,600
Speaker 1: use it. AJ, But let's do this thing before you

671
00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:00,719
Speaker 1: go or before traffic picks up. Let's go back to week.

672
00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:02,840
Speaker 1: Let's do the thing that you do. Packers win in

673
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:05,560
Speaker 1: the Levi Stadium, take on the Niners. So Sam France

674
00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:07,840
Speaker 1: takes a one point lead under forty seconds left in

675
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:11,239
Speaker 1: the game, Rogers right down the field, no timeouts, gets

676
00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:13,600
Speaker 1: them to field goal range for the win. AJ, what's

677
00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:15,520
Speaker 1: your gut do you think this game is going to

678
00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:17,759
Speaker 1: be that close, come down to the last minute or

679
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:19,400
Speaker 1: is it going to be maybe one side and just

680
00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:21,680
Speaker 1: whoosh the Packers go through them. I don't see it

681
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:23,840
Speaker 1: being one sided really. I think it definitely could be

682
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:25,840
Speaker 1: one of those close games, especially with the weather and

683
00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:28,400
Speaker 1: what's going on. Let's see how much wind and what

684
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:30,360
Speaker 1: it picks up. Also, like, what is the health of

685
00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:33,440
Speaker 1: Jimmy g We obviously know that they say he's not

686
00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:35,160
Speaker 1: going to be one hundred percent Yeah, of course, but

687
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:36,960
Speaker 1: is it going to be able to grip the ball

688
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:40,800
Speaker 1: and consistently be accurate, be an accurate pastors? So I

689
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:42,200
Speaker 1: think that's a huge part of it. But yeah, I

690
00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:44,440
Speaker 1: look forward to be somewhat of a close game, but

691
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:46,160
Speaker 1: I also look for Green Bay to find a way

692
00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:50,040
Speaker 1: to win a j I watch all these interviews with

693
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:52,960
Speaker 1: Rogers and Pat and you, and everyone gives Pat and

694
00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:56,279
Speaker 1: Rogers You've got the one liners. You just drop little things,

695
00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 1: you instigate, you stir the pot. You're the Ed McMahon,

696
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:02,080
Speaker 1: You're the Andy Richter. What's it been like in these

697
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:04,600
Speaker 1: interviews the past two years? Getting Rogers on every Tuesday

698
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:07,799
Speaker 1: with that three box screen of Pat, Aaron and aj

699
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:12,279
Speaker 1: oh man, it's been awesome. I mean ever since I

700
00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:15,719
Speaker 1: started doing the show with Pat just by far the

701
00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:17,800
Speaker 1: favorite thing that I've done, and I get to do

702
00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:20,680
Speaker 1: when it comes to like the media world and broadcasting

703
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:23,120
Speaker 1: and just get to be authentic and honestly just have

704
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:25,680
Speaker 1: a ton of fun. So it's awesome. Just yeah, I

705
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:27,920
Speaker 1: think that's how we buy you know, Pat, Obviously he

706
00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:30,759
Speaker 1: is he is in a perfect position like what he

707
00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:33,719
Speaker 1: does running the show, driving the show, Like he's such

708
00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:36,360
Speaker 1: a high energy, awesome dude, and he's so talented. I

709
00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:38,839
Speaker 1: get to kind of sit back and just play into

710
00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:40,640
Speaker 1: it what I think is funny, and I'm basically just

711
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:42,560
Speaker 1: trying to make myself when I when I'm on the

712
00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:45,080
Speaker 1: show and trying to trying to get under Eron's and

713
00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:47,920
Speaker 1: whenever Aaron's on, I just want to say something to

714
00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:50,360
Speaker 1: where he'll send me a text ten minutes after the

715
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:52,200
Speaker 1: show and say that I'm out of control or that

716
00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:54,160
Speaker 1: I got issues and I need to be cool off

717
00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:57,000
Speaker 1: or something and stop asking this question. That's my whole goal.

718
00:36:57,239 --> 00:36:58,840
Speaker 1: That's my whole goal. Really, it's just to get that

719
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:01,480
Speaker 1: text from Eron where he says, you got problems, man,

720
00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:04,080
Speaker 1: you need to watch out. Then he talks to my

721
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:06,400
Speaker 1: wife a couple days later and tells my wife to

722
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:08,480
Speaker 1: call me down. So that's that's really my whole goal.

723
00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:13,160
Speaker 1: The goal is getting that you have issues post text,

724
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:16,000
Speaker 1: which is unbelievably cool. We want to send you one

725
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:18,200
Speaker 1: ten minutes from now. AJ so happy for all the

00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:54,560
Speaker 1: of weeks. Let's welcome to the breakfast table. Friend of

736
00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:59,800
Speaker 1: the show, Ryan Leaf. What's up everybody? Thanks for having me.

737
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:03,520
Speaker 1: Really morning here the four year old is sleeping yet

738
00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:06,279
Speaker 1: I am awake. It's not usually the route we go,

739
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:10,440
Speaker 1: but I'm happy to be here. Well, rise and shine.

740
00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:12,719
Speaker 1: We love having you. And let's start off with your

741
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:16,520
Speaker 1: most recent project. It's called Bust the Ryan Leaf Story,

742
00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:19,400
Speaker 1: and it's a ten episode podcast that is about you

743
00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:22,160
Speaker 1: and your rise to start them at Washington State University

744
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:25,000
Speaker 1: and then the challenges you faced once you entered the NFL.

745
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:28,200
Speaker 1: I think this has to be a very very tough

746
00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:30,680
Speaker 1: topic for anyone to talk about, and yet you're there.

747
00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:32,800
Speaker 1: It's the podcast tell us why it's so important for

748
00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:35,320
Speaker 1: you to share your story and for listeners to understand

749
00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:38,799
Speaker 1: what you went through. Well, it's it's different than any

750
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:41,440
Speaker 1: podcast you'll you'll listen to because it's there's no guests,

751
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:45,720
Speaker 1: there's no you know, it's a it's a produced piece.

752
00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:50,200
Speaker 1: Kevin Connolly from Entourage fame as as any of you

753
00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:53,000
Speaker 1: as are fans of that. Him and I became close friends,

754
00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:56,000
Speaker 1: and he helped me produce it, along with my partner

755
00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:59,520
Speaker 1: Anna and U and it's just been a passion project,

756
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:03,000
Speaker 1: right It's seemingly what I do when I go speak

757
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:06,320
Speaker 1: to communities or when I go help former players or

758
00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:11,360
Speaker 1: interact with that. It's it's sharing my story because you

759
00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:15,080
Speaker 1: can't keep this peaceful, on chaotic life unless you give

760
00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:18,080
Speaker 1: it away. I didn't understand what that meant when I

761
00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:21,520
Speaker 1: first initially started it, but that's exactly the truth. I

762
00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:24,000
Speaker 1: give it away in the hopes that somebody who might

763
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:26,719
Speaker 1: be struggling like I was, doesn't end up in the

764
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:30,359
Speaker 1: same place that I was. That's the most important part.

765
00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:34,000
Speaker 1: This podcast has really nothing to do with me, has

766
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:38,440
Speaker 1: everything to do with another flawed human being who's struggling,

767
00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:43,040
Speaker 1: who just wants to be better. It's so well said,

768
00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:45,880
Speaker 1: and I thank you. I really respect how transparent you

769
00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:48,359
Speaker 1: are about your struggles and your adversity. And a lot

770
00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:52,520
Speaker 1: of people are susceptible to this. But you had extraordinary

771
00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:54,319
Speaker 1: pressure on you when you got back into the league

772
00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:57,600
Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety eight. Now times are different, there's different pressures,

773
00:39:57,719 --> 00:40:00,359
Speaker 1: maybe more pressure in so in different ways, how would

774
00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:03,760
Speaker 1: you give advisor? What would you say to young NFL

775
00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:08,520
Speaker 1: players who might be dealing with some of those same challenges. Well,

776
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:10,480
Speaker 1: I get a chance. You know, usually every year at

777
00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:13,279
Speaker 1: the combine or Jordan Palmer has me come down and

778
00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:15,680
Speaker 1: speak to his quarterbacks. You know. A couple of years

779
00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:18,080
Speaker 1: ago was with Joe Burrow. Last year Trevor Lawrence, and

780
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:23,240
Speaker 1: and so what I tell him is simply tell my story,

781
00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:26,239
Speaker 1: because there's something to be said about getting to where

782
00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:28,080
Speaker 1: I got to. I was the second overall pick. I

783
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:32,560
Speaker 1: was expected to, you know, play well. Expectations were really high,

784
00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:34,880
Speaker 1: so there was a there's some truth into how to

785
00:40:35,040 --> 00:40:36,520
Speaker 1: get there and do it the right way. It's what

786
00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:39,800
Speaker 1: you do when you hit a wall or when failure happens.

787
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:43,040
Speaker 1: I think if you witness what Trevor Lawrence did this year,

788
00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:46,200
Speaker 1: I don't know if there was a more mature individual

789
00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:49,040
Speaker 1: to have gone through what he went through like that adversity.

790
00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:51,600
Speaker 1: In my first year, pretty much the same summed it

791
00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:54,640
Speaker 1: all up right. Kevin Gilbride was fired in about week five.

792
00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:57,560
Speaker 1: We saw Herbert Meyer go that way. Struggled the rest

793
00:40:57,600 --> 00:40:59,760
Speaker 1: of the season, so did Trevor. And then that final

794
00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:03,480
Speaker 1: game right against the Colts. He looked as advertised. He

795
00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:05,120
Speaker 1: put in that work all year long, and I thought

796
00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:08,960
Speaker 1: it was a great reward for him and his diligence

797
00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:11,640
Speaker 1: to get to where he was at, and I expect

798
00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:15,319
Speaker 1: a lot of big things from him. Unfortunately, for those

799
00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:17,279
Speaker 1: out there that are Jags fan, it may be a

800
00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:20,759
Speaker 1: systemic problem in Jacksonville, and you better get it right

801
00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:24,440
Speaker 1: when you hire this new head coach. As for other quarterbacks,

802
00:41:24,520 --> 00:41:26,759
Speaker 1: I just I simply tell them to be themselves, to

803
00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:30,960
Speaker 1: understand that they're the CEO of a fortune five hundred company,

804
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:34,960
Speaker 1: and invest in yourself everything you do to make you

805
00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:36,920
Speaker 1: a better football player. And I think these young men

806
00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:39,279
Speaker 1: that come into the league are so much more well

807
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:42,719
Speaker 1: prepared than I was in nineteen ninety eight. Right, it

808
00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:45,840
Speaker 1: took a special individual to be a successful quarterback. Just

809
00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:47,480
Speaker 1: look at the guy who was drafted ahead of me

810
00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:50,920
Speaker 1: in Peyton Manning. So those are the types of individuals

811
00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:52,959
Speaker 1: you want in your locker room. Guys that can change

812
00:41:53,040 --> 00:41:56,520
Speaker 1: the environment where even if a systemic problem is exists,

813
00:41:57,480 --> 00:42:01,960
Speaker 1: you make a difference, absolutely, Ryan, The greatest mark of

814
00:42:02,120 --> 00:42:04,720
Speaker 1: success is not you know how you deal with people

815
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:08,440
Speaker 1: in issues in times of success, but it's when times

816
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:11,320
Speaker 1: of adversity and how you handle that as the greatest

817
00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:14,600
Speaker 1: mark of successful. You're absolutely right. Now we're just days

818
00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:17,080
Speaker 1: away from the divisional round with some of the league's

819
00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:20,719
Speaker 1: best quarterbacks set the face off. Two questions for you,

820
00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:23,319
Speaker 1: which quarterback do you have your eyes on? And who

821
00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:25,960
Speaker 1: do you think will be under the most pressure to

822
00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:30,680
Speaker 1: take their team to the championship round. Well, my eyes

823
00:42:30,719 --> 00:42:32,839
Speaker 1: have been on Joe Burrow ever since that Chiefs game.

824
00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:37,319
Speaker 1: I just didn't think this team was, you know, primetime ready,

825
00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:40,560
Speaker 1: ready for the big lights. And what they did and

826
00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:44,080
Speaker 1: how they came back in that football game and how

827
00:42:44,239 --> 00:42:48,040
Speaker 1: they made adjustments at halftime. Dispensively, this team is right

828
00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:52,480
Speaker 1: to do something special. Now, does he need more seasoning,

829
00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:55,239
Speaker 1: does he need another year? Or can he debunk that

830
00:42:55,400 --> 00:42:58,800
Speaker 1: idea that a quarterback in his first opportunity in the

831
00:42:58,840 --> 00:43:01,600
Speaker 1: playoffs make a run towards the Super Bowl? I think

832
00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:04,120
Speaker 1: he can. So my eyes are directly on him. He's

833
00:43:04,200 --> 00:43:08,920
Speaker 1: one of the most accurate, poised, you know, character driven

834
00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:13,479
Speaker 1: and leader that you can imagine. So the pressure side

835
00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:16,040
Speaker 1: of this it's a lot different. It's on Matthew Stafford.

836
00:43:16,160 --> 00:43:18,560
Speaker 1: I'm here in Los Angeles. I watched the Jared Goff

837
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:22,520
Speaker 1: era and I watched them mortgage their whole team in

838
00:43:22,719 --> 00:43:27,120
Speaker 1: draft capital over the next few years to get this quarterback.

839
00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:31,200
Speaker 1: Stat's early similar to what Jared Goff produced in twenty eighteen.

840
00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:34,360
Speaker 1: Todd Gurley was a big part of that. What is

841
00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:36,640
Speaker 1: this team? If they go into Tampa and lose, it'd

842
00:43:36,680 --> 00:43:38,799
Speaker 1: be the same kind of team they were a year ago, right,

843
00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:42,800
Speaker 1: the divisional round loss, and you wonder what's going on.

844
00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:46,680
Speaker 1: The addition of Von Miller and Odell Beckham junior haven't

845
00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:50,680
Speaker 1: raised the stakes for Matthew Stafford. If they can run

846
00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:53,440
Speaker 1: the football, allow him to do play action, he is

847
00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:55,319
Speaker 1: one of the best in the business. So it will

848
00:43:55,320 --> 00:43:57,200
Speaker 1: be excited to see. I'll be excited to see how

849
00:43:57,239 --> 00:43:59,399
Speaker 1: he performs this weekend against Tom Brady and the Tampa

850
00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:01,840
Speaker 1: Bay Buccaneer. But I think he has the most pressure

851
00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:05,480
Speaker 1: on him of any quarterback out there. Right, you're great,

852
00:44:05,520 --> 00:44:07,200
Speaker 1: as you're one of the best in the business, I mean,

853
00:44:07,239 --> 00:44:08,800
Speaker 1: and you're so good at this. We could talk football

854
00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:10,920
Speaker 1: all day, but somehow we have to stop and marvel

855
00:44:10,960 --> 00:44:13,279
Speaker 1: that it's been twenty four years since the whole world

856
00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:16,560
Speaker 1: was asking Manning or Leaf, Manning or Leaf. I don't

857
00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:18,359
Speaker 1: know how the time went away that quickly, But as

858
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:21,560
Speaker 1: we know, colts take Manning, the Chargers take you. I

859
00:44:21,600 --> 00:44:23,320
Speaker 1: think it's really cool. I don't know if everybody knows this.

860
00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:25,520
Speaker 1: When Peyton was inducted into the Hall of Fame back

861
00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:28,440
Speaker 1: in August, you were there. You joined him. Can you

862
00:44:28,520 --> 00:44:30,800
Speaker 1: tell us about your friendship with Peyton Manning what it

863
00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:36,399
Speaker 1: means to you. Well, it's insecredibly meaningful to me. Right.

864
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:42,200
Speaker 1: People don't understand the relationships that are built inside a

865
00:44:42,239 --> 00:44:45,600
Speaker 1: locker room or around football and the peer aspect of things.

866
00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:51,160
Speaker 1: On the outside looking in, it's always fanatics in hoop

867
00:44:51,239 --> 00:44:54,520
Speaker 1: law and stuff, but there's real personal relationships. Him and

868
00:44:54,520 --> 00:44:56,960
Speaker 1: I met on a phone call while they were both

869
00:44:57,040 --> 00:45:00,640
Speaker 1: in college, set up by our sids, simply because we

870
00:45:00,719 --> 00:45:02,239
Speaker 1: knew we were gonna be tied to one another for

871
00:45:02,560 --> 00:45:06,120
Speaker 1: a long time. And his family has been amazing to

872
00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:09,680
Speaker 1: me and my family. And you know, when it's all

873
00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:15,760
Speaker 1: said and done, we're both retired football players, dads and broadcasters.

874
00:45:15,880 --> 00:45:19,200
Speaker 1: Now it's it's it's funny to see we got that. Yeah,

875
00:45:19,239 --> 00:45:20,759
Speaker 1: if you look behind me, I got that was the

876
00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:24,040
Speaker 1: gift that he gave everybody at his Hall of Fame

877
00:45:24,120 --> 00:45:26,319
Speaker 1: induction was his bobblehead. So that's that's on the top

878
00:45:26,400 --> 00:45:28,320
Speaker 1: of the stand there. I just flick it when I

879
00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:32,480
Speaker 1: walked by when I head out the office. Um, you know,

880
00:45:32,680 --> 00:45:36,600
Speaker 1: special special Guy always asked him how he did it,

881
00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:38,320
Speaker 1: because I know how hard it was and how I

882
00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:42,600
Speaker 1: couldn't do it. He just is a good pal um.

883
00:45:42,880 --> 00:45:45,359
Speaker 1: And uh, I'm glad we stayed in touch, right. I mean,

884
00:45:45,400 --> 00:45:47,640
Speaker 1: he he kind of kept it going because there's no

885
00:45:47,760 --> 00:45:49,440
Speaker 1: way I wanted to talk to anybody while I was

886
00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:52,200
Speaker 1: in prison. And you know, every once in a while

887
00:45:52,200 --> 00:45:54,600
Speaker 1: i'd get a message from him from his family to

888
00:45:54,680 --> 00:45:57,400
Speaker 1: my family or something like that, a little bit of

889
00:45:57,600 --> 00:46:00,200
Speaker 1: keep your head up. You know, it's gonna be okay.

890
00:46:00,560 --> 00:46:03,240
Speaker 1: That's all we need sometimes when you're in the darkest places.

891
00:46:03,320 --> 00:46:05,799
Speaker 1: And uh, you know, I applaud him and what he's

892
00:46:05,840 --> 00:46:10,439
Speaker 1: doing and how he's accomplished everything in his life. Wow,

893
00:46:10,760 --> 00:46:13,880
Speaker 1: that's special stuff. Ryan. We really appreciate you. We got
