12
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:39,200
Speaker 1: that Josh.

13
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 3: Allen has hired a new head coach and his name

14
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 3: is Joe Brady. Is it your thoughts here?

15
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 1: Joe Brady hired today the offensive coordinator of the Buffalo

16
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:52,159
Speaker 1: Bills gets promoted to the head coach. It's just funny

17
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:54,959
Speaker 1: to get rid of their head coach and not really

18
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 1: have a plan in place other than to have Josh

19
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 1: Allen talk to Philip River at his current OC and

20
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 1: then promote that guy.

21
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 3: To the head coach. What are your thoughts here?

22
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:08,319
Speaker 4: I couldn't help but think of your other team, one

23
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 4: of your other teams. Did you guess which one?

24
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 3: The Jets, the Nets, No, the Knicks.

25
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 4: It is all right, because when they got rid of

26
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 4: the Butcher, it was going to.

27
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 1: Be Islanders that was next, by the way, but uh okayo.

28
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 4: It was at a time that followed great success by

29
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 4: Nick standards. Yes, and given the other moves that they made,

30
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 4: which were not many, right, just some peripheral stuff, it

31
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 4: made you say, hey, they're clearly saying it was Tom

32
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 4: Thibodeau's fault. He somehow, despite us getting further than we've

33
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 4: been in a generation, were held back because of him. Right,

34
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 4: And so when you look at this situation, all right,

35
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 4: so you get of your coach who had made the

36
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 4: playoffs Sean McDermott in eight of nine seasons, yep, if

37
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 4: not for Patrick Mahomes, maybe has.

38
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 3: A pair of super Bowls. Maybe maybe that's a big Maybe,

39
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 3: it's a big maybe.

40
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:15,360
Speaker 4: But in the same way that you just saw ram

41
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 4: Seahawks and said that was the super Bowl. When you

42
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 4: watched that gave a few years back between Chiefs and

43
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 4: Bills and Chiefs come back with thirteen seconds left, you

44
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 4: were like, that was a damn super Bowl right there.

45
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 4: I feel like the Bills would have gone on to

46
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 4: at least win a Super Bowl.

47
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 1: Right, But it's the same feeling you had watching the

48
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 1: NFC Championship game this year.

49
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,359
Speaker 3: Right, Yes, right, just said that a little second ago.

50
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 4: I wasn't listening. I use a team name, so it's

51
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 4: probably confusing, right.

52
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 3: I'm just being honest.

53
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 1: I wasn't listening because Taylor was saying in my headset,

54
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,800
Speaker 1: make sure you're on the right Wi Fi system, and

55
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 1: I told him I was, and don't bother me again

56
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 1: in show.

57
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 4: So now Sean McDermott is being looked at, So you

58
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 4: look at the whole landscape. Okay, they didn't really change.

59
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 4: They didn't change a GM at all. They promote him.

60
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,919
Speaker 4: It wasn't his fault, certainly not Josh Allen's fault. You

61
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 4: saw him crying. He's he's a guy that everybody loved.

62
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,640
Speaker 4: We can't blame him. It was strictly not even the

63
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 4: offensive coordinator. It wasn't Joe Brady's fault. It was strictly

64
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 4: Sean McDermott's fault.

65
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 3: With whatever he did.

66
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 4: From I guess Tuesday to Sunday and at whatever head

67
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 4: coaches do from Tuesday to Sunday.

68
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 3: He was doing so bad that they just had to

69
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:27,079
Speaker 3: get rid of him.

70
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 4: And when you say, okay, maybe they just needed a

71
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 4: different voice, Oh no, it's a.

72
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 3: Different same voice. It's the offensive coordinator. It's just it's

73
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 3: the same group of people.

74
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:40,119
Speaker 4: So unless you bring in I don't know, the greatest

75
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 4: orator in the history of NFL coaching, with just this

76
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 4: amazing speech giving ability and this great organizer, what have

77
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 4: you changed. You've changed nothing, but somehow that's gonna make

78
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 4: you a super Bowl team.

79
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 3: I don't get it.

80
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 1: I don't get it as well. I don't get it

81
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 1: as well. It's a strange hire to me. If you're

82
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 1: gonna get rid of the guy with the resume that

83
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 1: you just kind of laid out there with Sean McDermott,

84
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 1: you should be hiring someone outside the organization. They keep

85
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 1: someone who was Sean McDermott's offensive coordinator and essentially his

86
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 1: assistant head coach, and the guy, if I'm being honest,

87
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:17,279
Speaker 1: that Josh Allen has talked to more over the last

88
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:19,840
Speaker 1: seven or eight years, that Sean McDermott. It's just an

89
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 1: odd hire. It seems like they had no plan whatsoever.

90
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:27,280
Speaker 4: It makes you look like you're just tweaking the situation

91
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:31,920
Speaker 4: when really the one move you're making is the head coach. Yeah,

92
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 4: and so you're changing that, but it's not really a change.

93
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,720
Speaker 4: It's just somebody taking a slight step up. If you're

94
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 4: saying that whatever we've been doing around here for all

95
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 4: these years, because it's not a small sample size nine years,

96
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 4: it was a good decent amount of time there. Yeah,

97
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 4: whatever we're doing here somehow is holding us back. Oh,

98
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,160
Speaker 4: we've indicated it was just that guy and nobody else,

99
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 4: and so you could say, oh, the hiring cycle forced

100
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 4: us to do this whatever.

101
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 3: Then he wasn't that think.

102
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,919
Speaker 4: Of a problem, Sean McDermott, and you were probably just

103
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 4: being impatient by letting him go.

104
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:11,280
Speaker 5: All they did was take two and give them all.

105
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 3: Right, we can't hear Mikey. Mikey is he is. Make

106
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 3: sure Mikey's on the right WiFi, Taylor, and don't worry

107
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 3: about me. How about that.

108
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:21,599
Speaker 4: It's a very slow drum procession following him around everywhere

109
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 4: he goes.

110
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 3: And now he's so mad.

111
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 1: He's so upset because he had something he wanted to

112
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 1: give it to us, and now he can't because it's clitchy.

113
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 3: He's very clitchy. I'm not eight seven, seven ninety nine

114
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:33,040
Speaker 3: on fire.

115
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:38,720
Speaker 1: Somehow not doing anything but doing everything at the same time, Taylor,

116
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:42,239
Speaker 1: you guys were laughing. It's just listen. It's a strange hire.

117
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 1: I'm not certain it fixes anything.

118
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 3: But who knows.

119
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 1: Joe Brady on the sideline because they have Josh Allen

120
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 1: might win a Super Bowl and he'll get all the

121
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,599
Speaker 1: credit and Sean McDermott will get nut. But it is

122
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 1: a strange, strange hire. And I'm telling you, had they

123
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 1: lost the week before, or if Jim Harbaugh and his

124
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 1: agents and attorney's could have figured out a way to

125
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 1: stretch out the negotiations with Joe Shade and the Giants,

126
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 1: John Harbaugh, excuse me, would be the head coach of

127
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:07,159
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills today.

128
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 3: I do believe that I really did somehow right.

129
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 4: Vrabel Mike Vrabel of the Patriots keeps winning all week long.

130
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:18,159
Speaker 4: Not only is he getting to the Super Bowl, look

131
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 4: at the rest of his division that he's walking back

132
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 4: to next year. Buffalo Bills, what's their big upgrade? Oh,

133
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 4: their offensive coordinators? Now they're head coach Miami Dolphins. Is

134
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,280
Speaker 4: it how flee or half lee nobody knows because it

135
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:32,279
Speaker 4: doesn't matter. In New York Jets. They just fired their

136
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:35,840
Speaker 4: defensive coordinator and now with all these jobs open, now

137
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:37,719
Speaker 4: they have to fill both coordinator jobs.

138
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 3: And it's like, wow, are you just handing the division

139
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:42,280
Speaker 3: to Mike Vrabel for the next decade.

140
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 1: Yes, they are. Mikey a is back. I'm told he

141
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 1: is connected correctly. Do you want to say what you

142
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 1: were going to say about a minute ago.

143
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 5: I'm a little afraid to.

144
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 3: I'm hoping you guys could hear meet.

145
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 6: But all they did was take two guys in their

146
00:06:56,640 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 6: organization and say do more. They took their their GM

147
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 6: and they said, oh, go be the president, and they

148
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 6: took their OC and they said, here's some more for

149
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 6: your plate.

150
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,280
Speaker 3: Now go be the head America and call play.

151
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, that is classic America. Here's an amazing thing

152
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 1: about it. From that loss to guys got a promotion,

153
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 1: one guy got fired.

154
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:17,239
Speaker 3: I mean, it's unbelievable. It is what is Buffalo doing.

155
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 1: They promoted their offensive coordinator, promoted their general manager. They've

156
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 1: all been a part of this mess, and it's not

157
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 1: really a mess. The team that makes it to the playoffs,

158
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 1: they just don't make it far enough once they're in

159
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 1: the postseason. But it's laugh out loud funny that their

160
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 1: plan was to get rid of the head coach and

161
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 1: replace them with an offensive coordinator who's never been a

162
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 1: head coach.

163
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 3: Everyone gets promotions. Coach, you're fired, yes.

164
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 4: Da, Hang on a second, guys, it's funny to be

165
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 4: where you think about like, these people presumably if they

166
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 4: continue to work together, would.

167
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 3: Be friends, acquaintances, would hang out, maybe have dinner.

168
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 4: At the other's place. Yes, there's no way these people

169
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 4: are talking again. You think Sean McDermott can hang out

170
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 4: with Brady and being the GM and just be like, hey, guys,

171
00:07:59,080 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 4: everything's normal.

172
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 3: Yesh.

173
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 1: Taylor put it on the poll. Will Sean McDermott and

174
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 1: Joe Brady ever have dinner again?

175
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 3: And it's not even their fault.

176
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 4: It's some owner giving him a position. He's like, well,

177
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 4: I ken never talked to Sean again.

178
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:14,559
Speaker 7: Joe Brady just essentially slit sew McDermott's throat.

179
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 1: Yes, knowingly, yes, but he's not gonna not take the

180
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 1: job right.

181
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 7: But it was strange listening to Terry Pegoula's press conference

182
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 7: a couple of days ago, where he said the coaching

183
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 7: staff pushed us to draft Keon Coleman, not Sean McDermott.

184
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 7: The entire offensive coaching staff pushed us. And what happens

185
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 7: a week later you hire your head coach from said

186
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 7: coaching staff.

187
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 4: Well, the head of that coaching staff, the head of

188
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 4: the offensive coaching staff. If it wasn't the defensive coaching

189
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:44,560
Speaker 4: test saying hey that key On Coleman, guy unstoppable, it

190
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 4: was clearly the offensive staff. And who heads the offensive staff,

191
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 4: but the offensive coordinator? You made us draft that guy.

192
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 4: We hate that guy.

193
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 3: You're promoted.

194
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 1: I want to say, hey, a new voice is a

195
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 1: good thing, but it's not a new voice. It's the

196
00:08:56,559 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 1: same old boys talking into Josh Allen's headset's.

197
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 4: I did see a video of Keyon Coleman not knowing

198
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:06,200
Speaker 4: how to sign a contract, so maybe they probably should

199
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 4: have done some more digging with it.

200
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 1: Brian Daball now is the offensive coordinator for the Tennessee Titans.

201
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 1: He wanted that head coaching job. He doesn't get it

202
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 1: because Josh Allen gave it to his friend, Joe Brady,

203
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 1: gave him a promotion.

204
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 3: That's what he did.

205
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 1: And you're right, I think they're never having dinner again.

206
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 1: They're not exchanging Christmas cards. I think all these relationships

207
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 1: inside the Buffalo Bills organization have vanished.

208
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 4: If they have kids, one of those teenage kids is

209
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:36,320
Speaker 4: getting a Burner account just to mock the current head coach,

210
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 4: Joe Brady.

211
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:39,320
Speaker 3: It's just the two families they're at ward.

212
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 8: Now.

213
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 1: Does Joe Brady have a kid? Because if he doesn't,

214
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 1: when he does have one, he's gonna name Hi Josh.

215
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 3: I mean tom even if it's a girl. I mean,

216
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:50,199
Speaker 3: how about that. I think Tommy might be the way

217
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 3: to go there, you think so, Brady?

218
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, but a lot to live up to, you know, Taylor,

219
00:09:57,480 --> 00:09:59,320
Speaker 1: what were you guys telling me? You and mikeye were

220
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 1: laughing over a tweet from our friend Diana Rossini. What

221
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:05,560
Speaker 1: did she have to say here on X she sent

222
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 1: something out? You guys were laughing about it. I forgot

223
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:08,200
Speaker 1: what it was.

224
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 7: Yeah, So Diana Russini was tweeting about the Jets. Mikey,

225
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 7: do you have the tweet pulled up? Because Stu got

226
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 7: just put me in such a terrible spot.

227
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:20,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely, I don't think I know it even without

228
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 4: reading it.

229
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 3: Don't talk. I think I have it it's uhesion. This

230
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:29,839
Speaker 3: is from Diana Rossini. The Jets have a plan.

231
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 5: Dot dot dot stay tuned.

232
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 3: I don't want to stay tuned. I've been staying tuned

233
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 3: for fifteen years. I'm tired of staying too.

234
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 5: Here's the plan.

235
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 4: Ready, We're gonna wait till everybody else is hired, and

236
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 4: then we're gonna strike.

237
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 3: I mean, look, you.

238
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 4: Can presumably find qualified people and put together a structured,

239
00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:01,959
Speaker 4: organized organization where people know football right and you can

240
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 4: get the best out of everybody. Okay, but when you

241
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 4: have the inability to do that in any sort of

242
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 4: normal like uniformity and any sort of normal pattern like

243
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 4: everybody else in the league, you're just starting to wonder, Well,

244
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 4: if you're starting off with such poor leadership and poor

245
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 4: decision making, how are we gonna trust that you're gonna

246
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 4: hire the right decision makers and then allow them to,

247
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 4: you know, work properly on their own and make those

248
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:28,679
Speaker 4: right choices.

249
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:30,960
Speaker 3: It just tells you it's gonna be a disaster.

250
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:33,440
Speaker 4: Whoever they bring in, it's gonna feel rushed, it's gonna

251
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 4: feel inexperienced.

252
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 5: Yep.

253
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 3: But hey, they have a.

254
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:39,200
Speaker 1: Plan, uh yeah, but it's never a good plan. And

255
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 1: that is the problem. It's never a plan that works.

256
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 1: I'm certain they have a plan dot dot dot, but

257
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 1: it's never a plan that works out for Jet fans. Okay,

258
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 1: they stumbled into Rex Ryan, Rex Ryan stumbled into Mark Sanchez.

259
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 1: They stumbled into two AMC Championship games. And that's the

260
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 1: height of my Jet fandom. Yeah, that is it. That's

261
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 1: as good as a get. It's not because they had

262
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:04,200
Speaker 1: a plan. The plan wasn't Mark Sanchez. Mark Sanchez just

263
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:08,840
Speaker 1: happened to get them to two AFC Championship games. Mikey

264
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 1: a Wrights on a dry erase board. Their plan sucks.

265
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 3: The plan is to suck.

266
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 1: The plan well, they've always sucked. They'll never be good,

267
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,679
Speaker 1: and I don't trust their plan. Listen, it's good reporting

268
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 1: by Diana. She is reporting the Jets, who need two

269
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 1: coordinators have a plan. They better have one, they need

270
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,560
Speaker 1: to hire two people. It's good reporting. I'm glad they

271
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 1: have a plan. I just don't trust their plan. And

272
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 1: there is nothing worse as a fan than not being

273
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 1: able to trust your team. Is he your fan of

274
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:43,199
Speaker 1: the Heat? You trust pat Riley? You trust Eric Spolstra

275
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 1: to fix it just about every time to stay competitive,

276
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 1: to stay relevant. It is hard being a fan of

277
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 1: a team When I know they have a plan, I

278
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 1: just don't trust it and it's probably the wrong plan.

279
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 4: Why is it weird that I take offence when you

280
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 4: call me a Heat fan, like I clearly cheer for

281
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:02,839
Speaker 4: that team, them, the people involved to do better than

282
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 4: other people, and yet it hurts when I hear it,

283
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 4: and I'm like, man, I need to get over that.

284
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:09,079
Speaker 3: It is a journalism.

285
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 4: It's that these days when you hear fan, you think

286
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 4: entirely unobjective. You think can't possibly give me an opinion

287
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 4: that doesn't it isn't soaked and biased.

288
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 3: But why are you still hanging on to this?

289
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:26,440
Speaker 1: Because I told you there's an official day where journalism died,

290
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 1: and that day was when Michael Wilbam was wearing a

291
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:32,840
Speaker 1: Chicago Cubs jersey after the Cubs on ESPN after the

292
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:34,080
Speaker 1: Cubs won the World Series.

293
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 3: Journalism died that day. Who cares? You're a Heat fan, man?

294
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 4: But I care what the people think, right, And if

295
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 4: they think those who may not know me, those who

296
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:47,320
Speaker 4: may not know me, I think, oh, he's just a

297
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 4: Heat fan.

298
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 3: I'm gonna listen to him about basketball. So I don't

299
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:51,319
Speaker 3: know why that just bug, but yes I do.

300
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 4: If I were speaking for the Heat fan, I do

301
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 4: trust that the organization will find a way to fix things,

302
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:01,959
Speaker 4: even now that they're like, you know, maybe you would think, hey,

303
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:03,560
Speaker 4: they should have been in on John Morant, or they

304
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 4: should throw everything against the wall or on the table

305
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:06,960
Speaker 4: for Yannis.

306
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 3: I'm like, I trust their decision makers.

307
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 1: Right, I mean, there are certain organizations where you just,

308
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 1: I guess you just trust that they're gonna get it right.

309
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 1: Like at this point, the Steelers have earned enough credibility

310
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 1: with their fan base and have gotten it right enough

311
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 1: where even Mike McCarthy can you can get past them

312
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 1: and they're gonna be happy about it because they trust

313
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 1: the people making the higher. That's the problem with the Jets.

314
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 1: We don't trust the people who are making the higher.

315
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 3: That is a real test of that trust.

316
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 4: It did hire Mike McCarthy because, as you stated before

317
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 4: the show, which was a great point, Mike McCarthy already

318
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 4: on the Mount Rushmore.

319
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 3: Yes, of Ficksburg Steelers head coaches. Yes, because there are four.

320
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 1: Of them, simply because he's the fourth, right, and so

321
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 1: it's like, wow, congratulations, But that's a lot to live

322
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 1: up to.

323
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 3: You, You've got it.

324
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 4: He doesn't look like he wants to survive two decades.

325
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 4: But no, by this standard, that's what he's supposed to do.

326
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:02,720
Speaker 4: So that's again, I don't know what he wants. I know,

327
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 4: if you're Mike McCarthy, you know the history of the Steelers,

328
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 4: just like we know the history of the Steelers. And

329
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 4: he's like, this is either going to be very short

330
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 4: lived and I'm going to flame out and be like, hey, look,

331
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 4: the Steelers are just like every other organization. They can

332
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 4: lose guys in a year or two also, right, or

333
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:17,560
Speaker 4: he's going to be like, oh, I get why they

334
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 4: win here. All they need is some competence at the

335
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 4: head coaching position. Everything else is in order. Makes some

336
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 4: pretty decent decisions.

337
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 5: All right, we're good.

338
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 3: We're going to be a playoff team for ten years.

339
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:27,960
Speaker 1: Taylor, how do you feel about the Steelers head coach

340
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 1: Mount Rushmore?

341
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 3: Are we done?

342
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 1: Do we have our four yet? And Mike McCarthy's on

343
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 1: it simply because he's the fourth, right.

344
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 7: The fourth since nineteen sixty nine, right, So this Mount Rushmore,

345
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 7: for some reason, starts in nineteen sixty nine and then yes,

346
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:42,760
Speaker 7: he's the fourth that's an invented mountains.

347
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 1: So it's Bill Cower, it's Chuck Nole, it's Mike Tomlin,

348
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 1: it's Mike McCarthy. Because there is no one prior to

349
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 1: nineteen sixty nine who did a better job than Mike

350
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 1: McCarthy is going to do?

351
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 3: Okay? Is that like? Yeah?

352
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 7: And I don't really believe that Steelers fans are too

353
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 7: inspired with high dring Mike McCarthy. This seems like a

354
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 7: coaching cycle where no team is happy with the coach

355
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 7: that they hired.

356
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 3: Put it on the poll.

357
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 1: Does seem like a coaching cycle where no team is

358
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 1: happy with the coach that they hired. The Giants, I

359
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 1: think the Giants are very, very happy. But if I

360
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 1: were a Giants fan, I would not be because it's

361
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:21,240
Speaker 1: a first. Well, the Giants are happy. Is Joe Shane

362
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 1: that's a different question. I'm not saying that he's to

363
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 1: have nervous Joe on the show. On the show scene, Yeah,

364
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 1: don't call nervous Joe. He's my friend, your friend who

365
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 1: was very nervous. He annound John Harva.

366
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 5: He was.

367
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 3: I told him he was very nervous. He sounded nervous

368
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 3: and he was nervous.

369
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 1: That's a daunting thing to stand in front of the

370
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 1: New York media knowing that no one wants you there,

371
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 1: right because they don't. I mean, that's the talk in

372
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:47,600
Speaker 1: New York is you know, Joe Shane should go. If

373
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 1: if Dave Ball went, Joe Shane should go. They were

374
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 1: connected somehow, and Joe Shane has told me several times

375
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 1: we weren't connected. I was hired to be the GM,

376
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 1: he was hired to be the coach.

377
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 4: That's got to make it feel bad for your friend,

378
00:16:57,760 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 4: like he's so nervous, never having.

379
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:00,680

Speaker 1: you want to come back to the PGA Tour, The

388
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:29,400
Speaker 1: first call you make it to Tiger Woods. I mean,

389
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 1: how about you call Tiger before you agree, as I

390
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 1: would live. That would have been the smart move. Chris Long,

391
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 1: I'm going to join us here in a second. I

392
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:41,399
Speaker 1: feel bad here because you know, we do these interviews

393
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 1: and I tend to hog the guest time. I ask

394
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:47,200
Speaker 1: all the questions. If it's not me, it's it's Taylor.

395
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:49,399
Speaker 1: If it's not Taylor, it's mikey a and poor is

396
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 1: he just being a professional sitting here and not asking

397
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 1: any sort of question? So with that said, is he?

398
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:57,679
Speaker 1: I am going to allow you to ask the first

399
00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 1: question of our buddy Long, who I cannot wait to

400
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 1: see next week in San Francisco.

401
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 3: We're gonna take mushrooms together. Well can I just do that?

402
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:09,119
Speaker 4: But no, thank you, Chris, I really appreciate you taking

403
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 4: my question here. Is this the wildest NFL coaching carousel

404
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 4: you've ever seen?

405
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:14,920
Speaker 5: Yeah?

406
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 9: You could get You kind of got the sense, you know,

407
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:20,159
Speaker 9: like three weeks ago that like, damn, we could have

408
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:24,479
Speaker 9: double digit openings, and of course here we are, I

409
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 9: think with double digit vacancies in total, and uh yeah,

410
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 9: some of the some of the teams that don't have

411
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:38,680
Speaker 9: their guy yet. It's pretty interesting and like especially considering

412
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:41,359
Speaker 9: a few of the places that are replacing their head coaches.

413
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 9: You're replacing Mike Tom and you're replacing Harbaugh. You know,

414
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 9: These are generational replacements, man, Like. These guys have had

415
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 9: cultures set in these places for as long as I

416
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:56,400
Speaker 9: can remember being a football fan, almost as an adult.

417
00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 5: And then you know.

418
00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:02,920
Speaker 9: Sean McDermott winning, you know, x amount of AFC East Championships,

419
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 9: winning a playoff game in you know, consecutive seasons six

420
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:08,679
Speaker 9: times in a row, not being able to get over

421
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 9: the hump and getting fired. Yeah, the whole thing's crazy, man,

422
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 9: And it's just the when when vverybel and McDonald's yeah

423
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:19,879
Speaker 9: you could get You kind of got the sense, you know,

424
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:22,399
Speaker 9: like three weeks ago that like, damn, we could have

425
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:26,679
Speaker 9: double digit openings, and of course here we are, I

426
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 9: think with double digit vacancies in total, and uh yeah,

427
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:35,480
Speaker 9: some of the some of the teams.

428
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:36,960
Speaker 5: That don't have their guy yet.

429
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:41,240
Speaker 9: It's pretty interesting and like, especially considering a few of

430
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 9: the places that are replacing their head coaches. You're replacing

431
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 9: Mike Tomlin, You're replacing Harbaugh. You know, these are generational replacements,

432
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:53,400
Speaker 9: man like. These guys have had cultures set in these

433
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 9: places for as long as I can remember being a

434
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 9: football fan, almost as an adult, and then you know

435
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:05,160
Speaker 9: Sean McDermott winning, You know x amount of AFC East Championships,

436
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 9: winning a playoff game in you know, consecutive seasons six

437
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:10,919
Speaker 9: times in a row, not being able to get over

438
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:11,960
Speaker 9: the hump and getting fired.

439
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, the whole thing's crazy, man.

440
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:20,119
Speaker 9: And it's just the when when verybel and McDonald end

441
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 9: up in the Super Bowl this quickly with their respective teams,

442
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:26,720
Speaker 9: it only heightens the sense of you have to win now.

443
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:30,119
Speaker 5: In the NFL, do you think those expectations are fair?

444
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 5: I don't.

445
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 9: I don't think those expectations are fair. I think people

446
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 9: like to skirt the reality that if you make bad

447
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 9: decisions as an organization, you have to sit with them

448
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:48,880
Speaker 9: for a few years. Some decisions you can't just get

449
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 9: out of immediately. You know, some teams find ways to

450
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 9: win with a lot of cap, like Denver for instance.

451
00:20:57,119 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 9: Right they're still paying Russell Wilson, They're still staring at

452
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:04,280
Speaker 9: that number. There's other teams with dead cap that have

453
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:07,400
Speaker 9: that have performed really well. But like for the most part,

454
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:10,119
Speaker 9: I think, you know, some teams is just going to

455
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 9: be a hard climb. And you know, you hire a

456
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:18,440
Speaker 9: coordinator or you hire a head coach and you expect

457
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:20,960
Speaker 9: these just gonna snap his fingers and things are gonna

458
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:21,359
Speaker 9: get fixed.

459
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:22,440
Speaker 5: I think some guys.

460
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:25,679
Speaker 9: Get a really raw deal, and you know, you know,

461
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 9: some of these jobs are not very desirable, like the

462
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 9: Miami job, and I think Halfley is And I'm not

463
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:37,639
Speaker 9: just saying this because you're here, Stu, but like, but

464
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:40,680
Speaker 9: like Halfley I think is a He strikes me as

465
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:44,280
Speaker 9: a really sound leader, like he's got that presence at

466
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:46,639
Speaker 9: the podium and that sort of thing. Like mixed bag

467
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 9: on what I think about the defense BC wasn't I mean,

468
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:52,919
Speaker 9: he wasn't like wildly successful at BC. You know, with

469
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,960
Speaker 9: Michael Parsons, they're dominant. But then he leaves and you're

470
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:58,960
Speaker 9: kind of like, okay, well was it was it Parsons

471
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:01,119
Speaker 9: or was it Halflee? You know, was it some of

472
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 9: the And now he's got a job in Miami, and

473
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:06,480
Speaker 9: Miami would be one of the least attractive jobs for me,

474
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:08,399
Speaker 9: Like a job like that, I'm like, what do you

475
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 9: want the guy to do?

476
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:10,119
Speaker 3: Sure?

477
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:12,399
Speaker 5: You know, like how many years would would be fair?

478
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:15,880
Speaker 9: And and the reality is for a lot of these,

479
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 9: like the Jirab Mayo thing in New England. Okay, Rabel

480
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:23,120
Speaker 9: was probably our kk's guy from the beginning.

481
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:24,200
Speaker 5: He had to wait a year.

482
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:27,760
Speaker 9: That doesn't make it any less screwed up that they

483
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 9: gave Jirab Mayo that job knowing they were going to

484
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 9: fire him, and probably a year and did not spend

485
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 9: any money in free agency, and the very next year,

486
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:38,679
Speaker 9: you know, of course Rabel's a better coach. He's a

487
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 9: great coach. But they also they also did the right thing.

488
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:46,639
Speaker 9: They cashed it on the rookie quarterback deal window and

489
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:50,159
Speaker 9: spent hundreds of millions of dollars in free agency, and

490
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:53,760
Speaker 9: here they are, and so like, yeah, like the circumstances

491
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 9: you coach in the delta between one job to the

492
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:57,640
Speaker 9: next is crazy.

493
00:22:58,080 --> 00:22:59,440
Speaker 1: But you don't like that they used him as a

494
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 1: bridge coach essentially, right.

495
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 9: I just thought like it was obvious what they were doing.

496
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:10,639
Speaker 9: That doesn't make it doesn't make like everybody nobody's gonna say, hey,

497
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 9: you shouldn't have hired Vabel, especially now the proof is

498
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:16,119
Speaker 9: in the pudding. It's just I think a lot of

499
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:20,400
Speaker 9: people missed the point where it's like, you know, and

500
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:22,280
Speaker 9: and it's easy to get wrapped up in this because

501
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 9: I remember being pissed off about it, but especially because

502
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:28,399
Speaker 9: he's like from my draft class, Mayo and like he's

503
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 9: he's actually from Virginia.

504
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:31,119
Speaker 5: Is a guy I have known a long time and

505
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:32,200
Speaker 5: a good dude.

506
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:35,399
Speaker 9: You just you think about the person getting that opportunity,

507
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 9: and some of these things aren't opportunities, you know, and

508
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:41,960
Speaker 9: and like some of these jobs. And that's why I

509
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 9: think the Ben Johnson thinks so interesting, Like Ben Johnson saying, hey,

510
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:48,080
Speaker 9: I'm not gonna take the first job that I can

511
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:52,679
Speaker 9: get because I value that first opportunity and know that

512
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:54,760
Speaker 9: like if it doesn't go well, like when's your next

513
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 9: one happening? As unfair as that might be, and so

514
00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:01,720
Speaker 9: I think that trend should probably pick up a little steam.

515
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 9: Like I know it's easier said than done, but like

516
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:05,480
Speaker 9: if I was a coordinator and I didn't like my

517
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 9: job opportunity and I believed in myself, like I'm not

518
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 9: gonna take the first one.

519
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,399
Speaker 1: What'd you make of their of their decision to go

520
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:16,239
Speaker 1: for it. Everyone's talking about Sean Payton's decision to go

521
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 1: for it in the.

522
00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:18,760
Speaker 5: I'm so tired of this. Dude.

523
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 9: If you're you are, no, But like if everybody now

524
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:27,680
Speaker 9: everybody's you know, entitled to their opinion on this thing,

525
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 9: there's no right answer, because we're doing it in retrospect. If

526
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:36,760
Speaker 9: you were that adamant about taking the points, like time

527
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 9: stamp it, you put it on your social media, you know,

528
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 9: like record a video and because a day.

529
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:45,680
Speaker 3: So with you on this, yes, do it at the time.

530
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 3: To Mikey's credit, he did say it at the time.

531
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:49,480
Speaker 3: You have to take the points there.

532
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 5: He said it as it was happening, right.

533
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 9: And you know what I said, as it happened, I

534
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:58,240
Speaker 9: like going, I don't like the call, right, And and

535
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 9: you know it's so easy to say, well, look they

536
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:04,240
Speaker 9: lost ten to seven. Okay, Well New England could have

537
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 9: kicked if Borgolis made that second field goal and they'd

538
00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:10,199
Speaker 9: be up thirteen to seven. You know, it wouldn't have

539
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:12,040
Speaker 9: been enough to score ten points. And then what you're

540
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:15,159
Speaker 9: gonna do when you go into overtime. The point was

541
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:19,200
Speaker 9: and I think the curiosity for me is like, how

542
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:24,320
Speaker 9: aware were these coaches that there was a blizzard on

543
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:25,960
Speaker 9: the horizon in the third quarter.

544
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:30,080
Speaker 5: I believe Josh and Vrabes were all over that.

545
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:32,480
Speaker 9: The way they ran that third quarter drive, it was

546
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:34,879
Speaker 9: like if you look at the all twenty two to

547
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 9: the sideline view of the scoreboard when they start that drive,

548
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:40,639
Speaker 9: and when they start the next drive, it is like

549
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:46,280
Speaker 9: night and day visibility, the wind, the precipitation. So they

550
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:48,600
Speaker 9: nailed that drive in the third quarter. But the point

551
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:52,160
Speaker 9: I want to make is it's fourth and short. If

552
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:54,960
Speaker 9: you score fourteen points on a team like New England

553
00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:58,880
Speaker 9: who's not very good in the red zone offensively, ironically,

554
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:01,520
Speaker 9: they made a count. When you gave him the ball,

555
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:05,680
Speaker 9: you think you're gonna win that football game. I hate

556
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:08,800
Speaker 9: the call because it limits you you have one option.

557
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:12,200
Speaker 9: I think Stidham looked best when you spread that team

558
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:15,680
Speaker 9: out and you gave him late down run pass options,

559
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:18,760
Speaker 9: you know, use his legs, that sort of thing. I

560
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:21,359
Speaker 9: think you spread them out, you make him declare, and

561
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:23,359
Speaker 9: you go from there and you trust him to throw

562
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:26,320
Speaker 9: the football. Because the run game wasn't great. And that's

563
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 9: the one thing for Denver is like, Okay, we're talking

564
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:30,480
Speaker 9: a lot about Denver. What they could have done, what

565
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:33,479
Speaker 9: they should have done. Wouldn't it be nice if they

566
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 9: had a run game. So that's something that they have

567
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 9: to come back to this offseason and say, I know JK.

568
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:41,639
Speaker 9: Dobbins makes a difference, but I think they need a

569
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 9: really dynamic back but you're.

570
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:44,760
Speaker 3: Okay with Sean Payton truck.

571
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 1: He what he's trying to do in that spot, knowing

572
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:49,640
Speaker 1: in all likelihood there's a snowstorm coming in the second half.

573
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 1: He's trying to get the fourteen because he knows fourteen

574
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:53,520
Speaker 1: likely wins that game.

575
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 5: For them, right, buries them.

576
00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:59,840
Speaker 9: Yeah, and honestly ten does two if Stidham doesn't throw

577
00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 9: the ball backwards.

578
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 5: Okay, But I think.

579
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:07,440
Speaker 9: The point is the point is like, we're all doing

580
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:09,880
Speaker 9: this thing, and I thought Sean Payton mismanaged this game

581
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 9: at times. I think he did like little things like

582
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:15,480
Speaker 9: before the half, and maybe this was on Stidham, But

583
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 9: on third and four, as the clock's running down, you

584
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:21,200
Speaker 9: got under thirty seconds ago, he runs out of bounds

585
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 9: before they attempt that field goal. Now, what that does,

586
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:26,760
Speaker 9: in effect is gives New England a chance for two

587
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:28,959
Speaker 9: for one. They get the ball back and they're lucky

588
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:32,199
Speaker 9: that Drake May ran out of time in space and

589
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:34,920
Speaker 9: they had kicked that super long field goal. There were

590
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:37,440
Speaker 9: a ton of the time out late, some of the

591
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 9: decision making offensively.

592
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:42,320
Speaker 5: Here's the other thing. Their kicker missed two.

593
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 1: Kicks, yes in the game, right right, You're right, you're

594
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:47,359
Speaker 1: very passionate about this.

595
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:47,879
Speaker 3: I love it.

596
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:50,240
Speaker 5: Yes, No, I love situational football.

597
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 3: I know you do.

598
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:57,879
Speaker 7: That's why, Chris, what's the ticket situation for players at

599
00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 7: the Super Bowl? Because I would guess that most just

600
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:01,959
Speaker 7: assume they get them for free.

601
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 5: Oh dude, we never get tickets for free.

602
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:06,720
Speaker 9: And when you tell fans when they ask you, like, hey,

603
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:08,240
Speaker 9: you know where you can find some tickets? Like I

604
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 9: had somebody, a buddy of mine who actually like was

605
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 9: like hey, and he didn't know any better, but he

606
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:17,000
Speaker 9: was like, how hard would it be get to get

607
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:19,840
Speaker 9: three tickets for the Eagles playoff game? And I'm like,

608
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:22,240
Speaker 9: just as hard for me as it is for you, Like,

609
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:26,560
Speaker 9: you know, like may maybe I can get you three

610
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:32,080
Speaker 9: tickets with you know, incrementally better prices, But they're not

611
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:35,320
Speaker 9: Like I got to go to a player and he's

612
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:37,760
Speaker 9: got to use his allotment of tickets like that he

613
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 9: has for his family. So I'm gonna be like, hey,

614
00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:43,480
Speaker 9: my buddy from college was wondering if you can use

615
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:49,480
Speaker 9: your tickets and increase the distraction quotient on your week

616
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 9: and go through the proper channels and take tickets off

617
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:54,640
Speaker 9: the table for somebody else.

618
00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 5: How well do you know this guy?

619
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:58,200
Speaker 9: Well, I know him, but I haven't seen him in years,

620
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 9: and he's just trying to save one hundred dollars.

621
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:05,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, Chris, let me explain why Taylor asked that question.

622
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:08,080
Speaker 1: His best friend is Mac Collins, who was playing in

623
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:10,480
Speaker 1: the Super Yes, that's his best friend. You know Mac

624
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:13,120
Speaker 1: Taylor was a walk on Receive North Carolina.

625
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:17,520
Speaker 9: Oh, man, did you play with Mac Collins? Obviously played

626
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 9: with him in Philly. One of my favorite people, Like legit.

627
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:25,000
Speaker 9: People see his antics and they're like, yo, what's wrong

628
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 9: with this guy? And I'm like, well, it ain't fake.

629
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:31,800
Speaker 9: That's exactly twenty four to seven.

630
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:32,960
Speaker 5: Who he is.

631
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:35,920
Speaker 9: Bro and and he was just a gamer bro Like

632
00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:38,840
Speaker 9: he was always a special teams guy in Philly.

633
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:41,040
Speaker 5: But you know, like just the type of guy that

634
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:42,080
Speaker 5: you could just trust. Man.

635
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:45,360
Speaker 9: It's like when Drake goes to him a couple times

636
00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 9: a game. Yeah, he's just so trustworthy. He blocks his

637
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:52,160
Speaker 9: bag off, Dude, He's a great teammate. He brings the

638
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:54,480
Speaker 9: energy love Mac Collins dude.

639
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:54,760
Speaker 5: Yeah.

640
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:57,480
Speaker 1: But Taylor, But what Taylor wants to know is he's

641
00:29:57,520 --> 00:29:59,720
Speaker 1: kind of trying to figure out through you, by the way,

642
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:02,560
Speaker 1: how he goes about asking mc collins for tickets to

643
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 1: the game.

644
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:05,840
Speaker 5: You know, so Chris I always was your best friends.

645
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:09,080
Speaker 7: That's okay, yes, yes, And the situation is a little

646
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:12,479
Speaker 7: different because since we have the relationship from college, I

647
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:15,920
Speaker 7: always pay him for the tickets that he gets. Yeah,

648
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:19,320
Speaker 7: but I remember thinking in twenty eighteen, I had the

649
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:22,600
Speaker 7: chance to go to Minneapolis and it was freezing, and

650
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:24,920
Speaker 7: I believe I got priced out of the ticket range.

651
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:30,360
Speaker 9: Yeah that that that Super Bowl wasn't great for spectators, man,

652
00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:35,440
Speaker 9: Like you couldn't really go outside, per se, dude, at

653
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:38,040
Speaker 9: Super Bowl, we were in the We stayed in the

654
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:40,719
Speaker 9: mall of America, Taylor, as you probably know because you

655
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 9: were talking to Mac and everything.

656
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 5: But the Pats were on one side, we were on

657
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:45,320
Speaker 5: the other.

658
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:47,719
Speaker 9: The only thing guys could really do in their downtown

659
00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:51,400
Speaker 9: was walk around the mall. So you had this like

660
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:55,760
Speaker 9: like like like like gangs walking around the mall, like

661
00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 9: you know, like we were on different sides, bro like

662
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:02,320
Speaker 9: like kind of west Side store type or Warriors type stuff.

663
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:03,520
Speaker 5: Speaking of Mac.

664
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:07,600
Speaker 1: Collins walking around the food court and uh, and like

665
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:10,480
Speaker 1: when you'd walk by, dudes, it's so funny because like

666
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 1: I'd see like Devin mccordy, and we were teammates last year.

667
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 5: You know at this point, and like we'd be like, yo, man,

668
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 5: what's up, dude?

669
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 9: Like we see guys in Benny Hannah, Like everybody would

670
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:21,960
Speaker 9: be in Benny Hannah at the same time because there's

671
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:24,800
Speaker 9: like only one walk restaurant in the whole mall. And

672
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:28,400
Speaker 9: then uh and then and then I'd walk by some

673
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:31,880
Speaker 9: guys like I had this this younger teammate who was

674
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:34,240
Speaker 9: a d lineman who I like helped a year ago.

675
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 9: Like he was like, hey, Vett, like, how can I

676
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:38,760
Speaker 9: get better? And then I passed him in the in

677
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:41,200
Speaker 9: the hallway and I was like, yo, what's up. We'redacted

678
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:42,920
Speaker 9: and he like ignored me.

679
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:43,200
Speaker 5: Bro.

680
00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:45,120
Speaker 9: He like looked me up and down like this is

681
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:48,239
Speaker 9: game week. Like I'm like, how corny are you?

682
00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:48,480
Speaker 8: Bro?

683
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 3: But we're in a mall.

684
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:51,840
Speaker 9: I'm like, dude, we're in a mall. Just say what's up.

685
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:52,960
Speaker 9: It's not that serious.

686
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:53,680
Speaker 5: Uh.

687
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:57,880
Speaker 9: We didn't get to go outside. It sucked. I remember

688
00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:00,560
Speaker 9: the after party. It was like the oldest night of

689
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:05,080
Speaker 9: my life. So yeah, I'm all for every city getting

690
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:07,600
Speaker 9: a shot, but probably not that city again.

691
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:12,040
Speaker 1: Right, Chris is Super Bowl week fun, like like all

692
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 1: the stuff leading up to the actual game. I know

693
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:17,120
Speaker 1: the game is fun, but is Super Bowl Week fun?

694
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:19,080
Speaker 1: Is it a fun experience for the players?

695
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 5: I think so. I think it is fun.

696
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:25,080
Speaker 9: There's maybe not the right word, like I didn't go

697
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:27,880
Speaker 9: out drinking or go out like partying. There's certainly some

698
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:30,000
Speaker 9: guys that decide that that's what they want to do

699
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:33,960
Speaker 9: with some of their off time. And honestly, it's it's

700
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:37,280
Speaker 9: kind of like understood that you know, guys are going

701
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:37,800
Speaker 9: to go out.

702
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:38,520
Speaker 5: And party a little bit.

703
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:42,840
Speaker 9: Like for me, maybe it's because I'm just a creature habit,

704
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:45,760
Speaker 9: like I need my sleep, I need some privacy. The

705
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:47,760
Speaker 9: hard part about it is you never feel alone.

706
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 5: Yes, you know.

707
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:52,000
Speaker 9: I remember checking into the hotel in Houston when I

708
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 9: was with the Patriots and never having any preconceived notion

709
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 9: about what it was like, and getting up to my

710
00:32:57,040 --> 00:33:00,680
Speaker 9: room and just feeling the buzz outside, like hearing the

711
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:04,320
Speaker 9: voices like that surround the hotel, like and I'm sixteen

712
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:06,480
Speaker 9: stories up. You can hear people out there milling around.

713
00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:09,720
Speaker 9: You can hear helicopters. You know, there's people in the lobby.

714
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:11,000
Speaker 9: If you get down the lobby, you got to have

715
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:14,640
Speaker 9: like sunglasses and like a hoodie and like your headphones on.

716
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:18,200
Speaker 9: There's no downtime, there's no alone time, like even your

717
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 9: alone time, your downtime. They whisk you off to like

718
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:23,920
Speaker 9: a media day where they're Yeah, the fun part about

719
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:26,200
Speaker 9: it is somebody from China's asking you a question.

720
00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:27,840
Speaker 5: You're like, oh, this is kind of a big deal.

721
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:31,560
Speaker 9: Or you know, you get to go to some event

722
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:34,400
Speaker 9: and you kind of you get a glimpse into the

723
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:37,360
Speaker 9: magnitude of what you're about to do because the world's

724
00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:40,720
Speaker 9: media is like converged around you know, the whole scene.

725
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:43,560
Speaker 9: And yeah, you go through the walkthrough at the stadium,

726
00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 9: which is like kind of surrealed the day before.

727
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:48,480
Speaker 5: You know, you see your plaque.

728
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:51,680
Speaker 9: It's got your name and Super Bowl whatever on it.

729
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:54,160
Speaker 9: Like there's a million moments during the week where you're like,

730
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:55,360
Speaker 9: oh my god, this is real.

731
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:57,560
Speaker 5: So in that way, it's really fun.

732
00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:00,680
Speaker 9: In some ways, it's like, damn, dude, I wish we

733

Speaker 3: I see what we're doing.

767
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:27,480

768
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:30,759
Speaker 4: because eventually we got to get back to what we're doing.

Speaker 4: Right though, sound Street sounds better.

771
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:38,520
Speaker 1: Yes, well sound street was originally is his idea. Now

772
00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:40,040
Speaker 1: he wants to change it into a cul deceac.

773
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:40,439
Speaker 8: Yeah.

774
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:43,560

00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:44,759
Speaker 4: I live on a cul de sick.

776
00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:47,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, really, you didn't know what a cul de

777
00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:49,200
Speaker 3: sac was, he told me.

778
00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:53,200
Speaker 4: I mean, it's embarrassing real. I was in my twenties.

779
00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:55,160
Speaker 4: I was covering the Miami Heat. I was doing a

780
00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:57,399
Speaker 4: feature with Eddie Jones. I was going to watch him

781
00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:00,359
Speaker 4: watch a Dolphins game with him at his place. Right,

782
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:02,080
Speaker 4: and after I got through the guard gate, he said,

783
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:05,319
Speaker 4: minus the third cul de sac on the right, and

784
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:08,120
Speaker 4: I said okay, and then hung up the phone. And

785
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:10,239
Speaker 4: I had no idea what I was looking for. I

786
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:12,520
Speaker 4: started looking for things on the ground. I was like,

787
00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:14,520
Speaker 4: is that a cul de sac? And then I just

788
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:15,880
Speaker 4: had to call him back. I was like, cand you

789
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:18,040
Speaker 4: just stand outside your house and wave at me. And

790
00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:20,160
Speaker 4: then a couple weeks later I heard somebody else use

791
00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:21,040
Speaker 4: the phrase and I was.

792
00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:22,280
Speaker 3: Like, that's what that means.

793
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:25,080
Speaker 1: Yes, I go to Mikeya here because he's shaking his head,

794
00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:28,080
Speaker 1: but I don't know if he could speak, so I

795
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:30,000
Speaker 1: don't know what to do, and I think Taylor might

796
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:32,720
Speaker 1: have a better name for soundstream. What do you have, Taylor,

797
00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:33,880
Speaker 1: Audio avenue?

798
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:38,200
Speaker 3: Oh, audio abb, audio ab. It's good.

799
00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:40,640
Speaker 4: It's not even more of a terrace though, or like

800
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:42,680
Speaker 4: a court right, because it's like it's a dead end.

801
00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:44,759
Speaker 3: You gotta come back, right, you with the cul de

802
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:47,000
Speaker 3: sac and coming back. We know we have to come back.

803
00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:48,480
Speaker 3: We all understand that.

804
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:51,520
Speaker 4: So we can't go too far down Audio Avenue. There

805
00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:53,120
Speaker 4: has to be like a stop sign on.

806
00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:56,279
Speaker 3: Which we know that we have to turn around.

807
00:36:56,440 --> 00:36:59,160
Speaker 1: Yes, oh God, a petty for Mikeya's thoughts right now,

808
00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:01,799
Speaker 1: but he can't speak.

809
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:06,799
Speaker 4: I'm guessing this sounds something like a drum.

810
00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:08,399
Speaker 1: Just I think he's confused as to how you don't

811
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:12,640
Speaker 1: know what a cul de sac is? Yes, so anyway,

812
00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:15,600
Speaker 1: what are we calling it soundstreet audio ab or sound

813
00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 1: cul de sac? I like audio app. Let's go down

814
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:24,200
Speaker 1: audio AB. We played Francesa for you already. Here is

815
00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:27,640
Speaker 1: Mark Schlayrett Steak, friend of the show, on the Dan

816
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:30,719
Speaker 1: Patrick Show, talking about hating analytics.

817
00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:31,640
Speaker 5: Yeah.

818
00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:33,920
Speaker 10: Dan, you know what's really funny. I get into arguments

819
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:36,400
Speaker 10: because I hate analytics. I hate all analytics people. I

820
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:40,920
Speaker 10: don't like nerds. And I always get into this with

821
00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:43,840
Speaker 10: with guys. You like the two point conversion play and

822
00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:45,759
Speaker 10: we got to go for it on fourth down and

823
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:48,040
Speaker 10: all this stuff, and you know, you get the sample

824
00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:51,040
Speaker 10: size of data. But hey, man, if I haven't blocked

825
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:54,560
Speaker 10: your defensive front all day long, right, that data changes.

826
00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:58,000
Speaker 10: If my guards can't handle your three techniques, if my

827
00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:01,640
Speaker 10: tackles can't handle your defensive end, then we need to change.

828
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:02,360
Speaker 1: Like that.

829
00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:05,480
Speaker 10: Math doesn't work. Math has never made a tackle. Math

830
00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:08,400
Speaker 10: has never blocked anybody. Math has never done any of

831
00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:09,000
Speaker 10: that stuffs.

832
00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:12,960
Speaker 1: That's a great pole question, Taylor put it on the poll.

833
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:14,440
Speaker 1: Has Math ever made a tackle?

834
00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:19,279
Speaker 3: That's a good point. It's a great point, not a

835
00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:22,880
Speaker 3: good point, a great point. Yes, it's a half of

836
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:23,480
Speaker 3: a good point.

837
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:26,040
Speaker 1: Listen, okay, listen. When I go down audio AV, I

838
00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:27,960
Speaker 1: don't look for boring stuff. I look for people making

839
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:29,960
Speaker 1: great points. That's a great point. Math has never made

840
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:30,400
Speaker 1: a tackle.

841
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:33,520
Speaker 4: I mean it's a half of a good point, because, yes,

842
00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:35,800
Speaker 4: there are times where you have to take into account

843
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:41,600
Speaker 4: of physicality over the mathematical nature of what's going on here,

844
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:43,560
Speaker 4: but other times you don't.

845
00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:45,759
Speaker 3: Sometimes you can use the math.

846
00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:48,839
Speaker 4: So him eliminating all math is like me saying no,

847
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:51,920
Speaker 4: I want to eliminate all physicality from the sport and

848
00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:52,799
Speaker 4: just use math.

849
00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:56,560
Speaker 3: It's a half decent point. Yes, I'm a nerd, you'd

850
00:38:56,640 --> 00:38:57,040
Speaker 3: just say it.

851
00:38:57,160 --> 00:39:00,800
Speaker 4: Yes, nerds, you are appreciated. We all know there's a

852
00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:03,360
Speaker 4: place for you. If we were all a bunch of stinks.

853
00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:05,440
Speaker 4: I do not want to know what this world'll be like.

854
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:08,400
Speaker 3: Do you know what math can't measure the size of

855
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:08,839
Speaker 3: your heart?

856
00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:09,719
Speaker 5: Yes?

857
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:12,640
Speaker 3: Okay, now you're gonna say something else.

858
00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:17,840
Speaker 1: And guts, Yeah, and guts were we're going down audio

859
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:23,040
Speaker 1: av Here is the greatest of all time nationally, Steven A. Smith,

860
00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:25,160
Speaker 1: the greatest of all time and a friend of the

861
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:27,360
Speaker 1: show he's been on with us. Here is Steven A

862
00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:30,200
Speaker 1: making Oh this is I'm hesitant to play this. I

863
00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:31,040
Speaker 1: didn't want to play this.

864
00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:34,040
Speaker 3: Not my go ahead tailor go, so I'll set it up.

865
00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:35,200
Speaker 5: So, so steven A.

866
00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:39,680
Speaker 7: Smith is praising Patriots defensive coordinator Terrell Williams. Let's let's

867
00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:40,480
Speaker 7: play the sound first.

868
00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:44,480
Speaker 11: Okay, there is a brother coach in that defense, Terrell Williams.

869
00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:47,640
Speaker 11: We ain't mentioned him all year long, reignited, you know,

870
00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:50,439
Speaker 11: reunited with with Mike Rabel, used to be with him

871
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:53,520
Speaker 11: in in Tennessee. This man has done a hell of

872
00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:56,640
Speaker 11: a job with a defense that's ranked top five in

873
00:39:56,680 --> 00:39:59,360
Speaker 11: the National Football League. Okay, because we go, we we

874
00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:01,880
Speaker 11: we gonna give brother's credit on this show, and that

875
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:02,960
Speaker 11: brother's doing his thing.

876
00:40:04,239 --> 00:40:05,040
Speaker 3: Oh my god.

877
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:08,680
Speaker 7: So the reason why we haven't mentioned Terrell Williams, Oh

878
00:40:08,719 --> 00:40:12,359
Speaker 7: my god. Yes, he hasn't coached this season since week one.

879
00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:16,560
Speaker 7: He stepped away to battle prostate cancer, and they've had

880
00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:20,479
Speaker 7: an interim defensive coordinator and play caller since week two,

881
00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:24,759
Speaker 7: which has been mentioned on every Patriots broadcast if you

882
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:25,880
Speaker 7: watch a Patriots game.

883
00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:30,080
Speaker 1: Right, well, steven A has it. That's unfortunate, the prostate cancer.

884
00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:33,240
Speaker 3: And steven A's mistake.

885
00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:36,880
Speaker 4: Yes, that's the correct order of unfortunate. Yes, it is

886
00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:40,719
Speaker 4: the prostate cancer first, and then well below that is

887
00:40:40,719 --> 00:40:42,040
Speaker 4: Stephen A's terrible mistake.

888
00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:44,480
Speaker 1: I think people are gonna get upset with what I'm

889
00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:46,279
Speaker 1: saying because Steven A has paid a good amount of

890
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:48,920
Speaker 1: money to know that. Okay, it's impossible to know everything.

891
00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:51,799
Speaker 1: It's impossible to watch every game. It's impossible to keep

892
00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:54,000
Speaker 1: up with all your takes, especially when you're doing it

893
00:40:54,239 --> 00:40:55,840
Speaker 1: on seventeen different platforms.

894
00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:58,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, but let's let's let's walk through this

895
00:40:58,760 --> 00:40:59,320
Speaker 3: one together.

896
00:40:59,400 --> 00:40:59,560
Speaker 5: Right.

897
00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:02,600
Speaker 4: Yes, So we're like, all right, what do I want

898
00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:06,080
Speaker 4: to talk about with the Patriots? And you just look

899
00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:10,799
Speaker 4: at a roster of coaches and you say, my man,

900
00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:16,480
Speaker 4: I am going to talk about Terrell Terrell, Terrell, Terrell Williams. Yes,

901
00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:17,600
Speaker 4: I don't know if you know if that's right, but

902
00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:20,680
Speaker 4: we'll go with Arrell Williams. And I'm going to look

903
00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:25,120
Speaker 4: at that defense. Take a second and type the name

904
00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:30,960
Speaker 4: into your Google search one second and it'll come up.

905
00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:34,400
Speaker 4: It'll come up as a suggested not even a story

906
00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:36,399
Speaker 4: that you have to click on. Just say, oh yeah,

907
00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:39,480
Speaker 4: Patriots defensive coordinator been out since week one. Prostate can't

908
00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:41,800
Speaker 4: say blah blah blah.

909
00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:42,840
Speaker 3: That's all you gotta do. I understand.

910
00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:47,200
Speaker 4: So it's not about losing track of what your takes were.

911
00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:50,400
Speaker 4: It's about lowering your own standard that you're just gonna

912
00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:53,200
Speaker 4: go on a show and say some stuff where you

913
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:54,719
Speaker 4: have no idea what you're talking about.

914
00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:55,600
Speaker 3: You would agree though.

915
00:41:55,480 --> 00:42:00,080
Speaker 4: Good intentions, right, I mean, if the intention is to

916
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:02,719
Speaker 4: fool the audience into thinking you know what you're talking about.

917
00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:05,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, good, No, no, listen, listen to me. He's not

918
00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:08,200
Speaker 1: fooling the audience. I'm certain it was brushback from the

919
00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:11,640
Speaker 1: audience on getting mad at stephen A. Smith because the

920
00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:14,360
Speaker 1: audacity for him to get a name wrong and not

921
00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:16,600
Speaker 1: know that story and say what he said.

922
00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:19,319
Speaker 3: Listen, you're right in the overall. I'm just telling you.

923
00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:22,640
Speaker 3: When you're doing ninety million Sports Center hits and going.

924
00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:25,719
Speaker 1: On ESPN radio before you go on first Dake and

925
00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:27,560
Speaker 1: you have a radio show to think about after that

926
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:30,840
Speaker 1: on serious exam, occasionally you're gonna make a mistake just

927
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:31,680
Speaker 1: really bad.

928
00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:33,879
Speaker 4: Luck too, because it's like, yeah, I'm gonna do this thing.

929
00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:36,960
Speaker 4: Who's gonna argue with me about championing of black man

930
00:42:37,120 --> 00:42:40,560
Speaker 4: in a great role. Nobody's gonna argue, oh crap, prostate kids.

931
00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:43,000
Speaker 4: It could have been anything else. It could have been like, oh,

932
00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:44,920
Speaker 4: you know, just taking a year off this and this

933
00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:48,840
Speaker 4: and oh man, a very very serious disease.

934
00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:49,719
Speaker 3: That's not the best.

935
00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:52,440
Speaker 7: And Stu, we're gonna we're gonna step away from audio

936
00:42:52,520 --> 00:42:55,440
Speaker 7: av here because this take comes from Twitter. Oh wow,

937
00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:58,399
Speaker 7: Booger McFarlane tweeted digital drive.

938
00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:01,560
Speaker 3: Oh I like it. Yes, that was quick.

939
00:43:01,719 --> 00:43:03,839
Speaker 1: Yep, all right, so hold on, we have veered off

940
00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:06,399
Speaker 1: of audio avenue here. We have made a left onto

941
00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:08,320
Speaker 1: what are you calling it is a digital drive? Okay,

942
00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:10,319
Speaker 1: we have made a left onto digital drive. It has

943
00:43:10,320 --> 00:43:10,960
Speaker 1: a cul de sac.

944
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:16,000
Speaker 7: Go ahead, So Booger McFarlane tweeted Super Bowl sixty. How

945
00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:19,239
Speaker 7: do the Patriots generate enough offense to make this a game?

946
00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:22,080
Speaker 7: There's no match up on paper where you could say, man,

947
00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:25,759
Speaker 7: I like the Patriots chances here. If the Patriots win,

948
00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:28,760
Speaker 7: put Rabel in the Hall of Fame as a coach

949
00:43:29,160 --> 00:43:29,919
Speaker 7: right after the game.

950
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:32,319
Speaker 3: I love that they should do that. Listen. I think

951
00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:34,480
Speaker 3: this is the order. It has to be done, late ceremony.

952
00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:37,080
Speaker 3: Rabel has to win the game, okay, has to win

953
00:43:37,120 --> 00:43:37,520
Speaker 3: the game.

954
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:41,480
Speaker 1: Hoist the Lombardi Trophy, right, all right, poisting chop off

955
00:43:41,480 --> 00:43:44,239
Speaker 1: his penis, of course, and then get the yellow jacket, right,

956
00:43:44,280 --> 00:43:44,719
Speaker 1: how about that.

957
00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:46,640
Speaker 4: Do you think they have the axe ready or do

958
00:43:46,719 --> 00:43:49,160
Speaker 4: they have like an actual doctor ready behind the scenes.

959
00:43:49,239 --> 00:43:51,520
Speaker 1: And when they ask him where you're going after the game,

960
00:43:51,560 --> 00:43:53,000
Speaker 1: he says, We're not going to Disney.

961
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:55,319
Speaker 3: We're going to Canton. That's where we're going, Canton.

962
00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:58,880
Speaker 1: Ohio Emergency Room. Then Camp there's a parade there too,

963
00:43:58,960 --> 00:44:00,359
Speaker 1: and Kitton, I've been to it there.

964
00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:01,800
Speaker 3: Yes, a Hall of Fame parade.

965
00:44:01,840 --> 00:44:06,279
Speaker 4: Yes, that, and then they would have to put them

966
00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:09,840
Speaker 4: together in Campton, right, you got the bust of his

967
00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:12,359
Speaker 4: upper half, and then what it cost him.

968
00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:18,040
Speaker 3: Rabel's a Hall of Fame player, is he not? Oh?

969
00:44:18,320 --> 00:44:18,799
Speaker 8: Not that.

970
00:44:19,080 --> 00:44:21,480
Speaker 4: No, I think you're attaching him too closely to Bill

971
00:44:21,480 --> 00:44:22,560
Speaker 4: Belichick and Tom Brady.

972
00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:24,879
Speaker 3: I'm attaching him to all the rings they won. That's

973
00:44:24,920 --> 00:44:25,560
Speaker 3: all I'm doing.

974
00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:27,800
Speaker 1: Like, he's not going to get into the Hall of

975
00:44:27,800 --> 00:44:30,360
Speaker 1: Fame as a player, but a combination player and coach.

976
00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:31,400
Speaker 3: He's going to get into the Hall of Fame, right,

977
00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:32,920
Speaker 3: especially if he went to Super Bowl. We're gonna do

978
00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:35,000
Speaker 3: it right after the game after he chopped his penis off. Right.

979
00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:38,200
Speaker 4: He was inducted into the New England Patriots Hall of

980
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:39,680
Speaker 4: Fame in twenty twenty three.

981
00:44:39,840 --> 00:44:42,359
Speaker 3: Wow, I mean it might be even bigger. It might

982
00:44:42,400 --> 00:44:43,279
Speaker 3: be a better Hall of Fame.

983
00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:45,960
Speaker 1: Who has more Super Bowls? New England or the field?

984
00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:51,279
Speaker 1: It's a great question. How many do the Patriots have?

985
00:44:51,320 --> 00:44:52,239
Speaker 3: Seven? I believe right?

986
00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:53,520
Speaker 5: Six? Seven?

987
00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:57,319
Speaker 3: Oh they have six? Pittsburgh has six, I believe right,

988
00:44:57,360 --> 00:44:59,960
Speaker 3: But the field definitely has that seventh is so unfore

989
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:03,240
Speaker 3: fortunate for Belichick. It's just it's a pretty telling seven.

990
00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:05,640
Speaker 3: It's such a band look for Belichick.

991
00:45:05,760 --> 00:45:10,600
Speaker 1: Right, anyone could have won with Tom Brady, including Bruce arians.

992
00:45:11,320 --> 00:45:19,040
Speaker 3: Matt Patricia Taylor told me, we have calls. Yeah, yeah, okay,

993
00:45:19,560 --> 00:45:20,480
Speaker 3: let's take some calls.

994
00:45:20,719 --> 00:45:24,719
Speaker 4: Did you guys enjoy digital drive? It would just park it,

995
00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:26,920
Speaker 4: just leave the car here. And we went back to

996
00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:28,360
Speaker 4: the calls. What are the calls?

997
00:45:30,040 --> 00:45:32,400
Speaker 1: We have a Donovan who's in Washington today wants to

998
00:45:32,440 --> 00:45:33,719
Speaker 1: talk about Sean McVay.

999
00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:37,600
Speaker 3: We haven't even brought up today. Go ahead, Donovan, you

1000
00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:38,480
Speaker 3: brought a little bit up.

1001
00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:40,400
Speaker 8: But it's a slow sport, right, Yeah, I got I

1002
00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:41,840
Speaker 8: got a little something for Sean McVay.

1003
00:45:42,520 --> 00:45:43,279
Speaker 3: Oh, thank you.

1004
00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:47,080
Speaker 8: Go all right. So this Tim McVay, this this guy

1005
00:45:47,160 --> 00:45:52,320
Speaker 8: McVay always after the big losses, always immediate excuses. But

1006
00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:55,040
Speaker 8: he's not making excuses except he has making excuses. The

1007
00:45:55,080 --> 00:45:58,040
Speaker 8: STU gots is very strong in this one. McVay couple

1008
00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:01,720
Speaker 8: of weekends ago against the Rams against the Seahawks blames

1009
00:46:01,920 --> 00:46:05,000
Speaker 8: weird things with the rest for his players giving up

1010
00:46:05,040 --> 00:46:07,000
Speaker 8: on a play in the fourth quarter before the whistle

1011
00:46:07,120 --> 00:46:10,480
Speaker 8: is blown. Now this week after the Seahawks in the

1012
00:46:10,560 --> 00:46:14,640
Speaker 8: NFC Championship game, it's the Seahawks got lucky because they

1013
00:46:14,640 --> 00:46:16,920
Speaker 8: had a blown assignment that put a guy in the

1014
00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:19,200
Speaker 8: right place, not because this team went oh for six

1015
00:46:19,239 --> 00:46:22,840
Speaker 8: on third downs, not because he has the punt returner

1016
00:46:22,920 --> 00:46:25,719
Speaker 8: that can't catch a punt, not because he called a

1017
00:46:25,760 --> 00:46:28,319
Speaker 8: timeout when he shouldn't have challenged the play. Because the

1018
00:46:28,320 --> 00:46:31,319
Speaker 8: Seahawks got lucky. I mean this guy, if they get

1019
00:46:31,320 --> 00:46:33,239
Speaker 8: over yourself.

1020
00:46:33,040 --> 00:46:33,600
Speaker 3: Great call.

1021
00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:36,560
Speaker 1: Yes, I am all for guys calling into this show

1022
00:46:36,600 --> 00:46:37,880
Speaker 1: and delivering takes.

1023
00:46:37,640 --> 00:46:39,319
Speaker 3: The way I would deliver a day. Thank you for

1024
00:46:39,360 --> 00:46:40,239
Speaker 3: doing that, Don Well.

1025
00:46:40,480 --> 00:46:43,680
Speaker 4: The funny thing to me, too, is if a coach says, oh,

1026
00:46:43,960 --> 00:46:48,080
Speaker 4: they benefited from a blown assignment on our team. Yes,

1027
00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:51,560
Speaker 4: the blown assignment is the responsibility of that singular player,

1028
00:46:51,840 --> 00:46:53,480
Speaker 4: but the whole point of the head coach is to

1029
00:46:53,520 --> 00:46:57,240
Speaker 4: eliminate as many blown assignments as possible, have your team

1030
00:46:57,400 --> 00:46:59,759
Speaker 4: ready to go. Bill Belichick kept the guy out of

1031
00:46:59,760 --> 00:47:02,640
Speaker 4: the Super Bowl. We still don't know why, but presumably

1032
00:47:02,640 --> 00:47:04,880
Speaker 4: it's because he thought on his mind he wouldn't have

1033
00:47:04,920 --> 00:47:07,600
Speaker 4: been perfect out there. So you can't blame it blown

1034
00:47:07,640 --> 00:47:10,759
Speaker 4: assignment and say, oh, that's that one guy's fault on

1035
00:47:10,800 --> 00:47:12,680
Speaker 4: a blown assignment and say that's why we lost.

1036
00:47:12,800 --> 00:47:14,759
Speaker 3: I'm doubling down, Donovan. That was a great call.

1037
00:47:15,280 --> 00:47:17,280
Speaker 1: Sean McVay is still the best coach in the NFL

1038
00:47:17,320 --> 00:47:19,560
Speaker 1: because we spent a good good deal of time saying

1039
00:47:19,560 --> 00:47:20,200
Speaker 1: that this season.

1040
00:47:20,400 --> 00:47:22,640
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't like I ever said that. Oh

1041
00:47:22,719 --> 00:47:23,359
Speaker 3: I know I did.

1042
00:47:23,600 --> 00:47:26,920
Speaker 1: I mean I had seven MVPs the NFL season, and

1043
00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:29,359
Speaker 1: I had five best coaches in the NFL at one point.

1044
00:47:29,400 --> 00:47:32,360
Speaker 3: Best coach in the NFL to me still, Kurt Signetti,

1045
00:47:35,440 --> 00:47:37,279
Speaker 3: that guy's going to jump to the Bros at some point.

1046
00:47:37,360 --> 00:47:37,799
Speaker 5: I don't know.

1047
00:47:37,880 --> 00:47:38,239
Speaker 3: I don't know.

1048
00:47:38,280 --> 00:47:40,320
Speaker 4: He says he's a college guy and the college money

1049
00:47:40,360 --> 00:47:42,480
Speaker 4: is huge, so I don't know if he'll ever jump.

1050
00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:47,440
Speaker 1: I mean, he's a coach, right, he is a coach

1051
00:47:47,560 --> 00:47:50,080
Speaker 1: like a coaches coach that guy went through went through

1052
00:47:50,120 --> 00:47:50,479
Speaker 1: it all.

1053
00:47:50,760 --> 00:47:53,839
Speaker 3: He started it like elaw Man in North Carolina.

1054
00:47:54,080 --> 00:47:56,560
Speaker 1: And if you have an opportunity to parlay all of

1055
00:47:56,600 --> 00:47:58,600
Speaker 1: this into being an NFL head coach a place you

1056
00:47:58,640 --> 00:48:01,280
Speaker 1: never thought you would get to, I have to guess

1057
00:48:01,280 --> 00:48:03,040
Speaker 1: he's thinking about it right.

1058
00:48:03,760 --> 00:48:06,719
Speaker 4: May He's probably being forced to think about it by

1059
00:48:06,719 --> 00:48:10,600
Speaker 4: his agent and several people inquiring, Yeah, what.

1060
00:48:10,520 --> 00:48:13,600
Speaker 7: Is the precedent for a coach that's sixty four years

1061
00:48:13,640 --> 00:48:17,000
Speaker 7: old to just be peaking in his coaching career where

1062
00:48:17,040 --> 00:48:19,239
Speaker 7: you look back as far as twenty eighteen when he

1063
00:48:19,360 --> 00:48:23,640
Speaker 7: was at ELONSTU believe they are the Phoenixes. They were

1064
00:48:23,680 --> 00:48:26,719
Speaker 7: six and five. Yeah, he's less than a decade away

1065
00:48:26,760 --> 00:48:29,000
Speaker 7: from being a coach that was six and five at Elon.

1066
00:48:29,400 --> 00:48:33,719
Speaker 7: And now now we might as well rename the CFP Trophy.

1067
00:48:33,400 --> 00:48:35,080
Speaker 1: After Well, that's what I'm saying, and we should have

1068
00:48:35,080 --> 00:48:38,200
Speaker 1: put it on the poll. She'ld rename the CFP Trophy after.

1069
00:48:38,080 --> 00:48:39,600
Speaker 3: Kurtzi relaying Elon.

1070
00:48:39,760 --> 00:48:42,799
Speaker 4: That's like a team with a first name but last

1071
00:48:42,840 --> 00:48:46,720
Speaker 4: name just backward, like the Phoenix. The Elon Phoenixes should

1072
00:48:46,719 --> 00:48:47,840
Speaker 4: be the phoenix Elons.

1073
00:48:49,120 --> 00:48:51,920
Speaker 7: I understand you're right, so I believe Phoenix is singular

1074
00:48:52,400 --> 00:48:53,280
Speaker 7: the Elon Phoenix.

1075
00:48:53,320 --> 00:48:56,240
Speaker 3: Either way, it should be the Phoenix, Elon Phoenix Elo.

1076
00:48:56,320 --> 00:48:57,880
Speaker 3: You really hung up on this, huh.

1077
00:48:57,920 --> 00:48:59,640
Speaker 1: But if you told Signetty when he was going six

1078
00:48:59,640 --> 00:49:03,080
Speaker 1: and five at Phoenix Elon, if you told him that,

1079
00:49:03,320 --> 00:49:05,719
Speaker 1: right six and five, hey, one day you're gonna have

1080
00:49:05,760 --> 00:49:08,000
Speaker 1: an opportunity to be an NFL head coach.

1081
00:49:07,840 --> 00:49:08,920
Speaker 3: He would have laughed out of the room.

1082
00:49:09,000 --> 00:49:10,799
Speaker 1: He would have if you told them one day, hey,

1083
00:49:10,840 --> 00:49:13,399
Speaker 1: you're gonna win a national championship with Indiana, he would

1084
00:49:13,400 --> 00:49:14,560
Speaker 1: have laughed you out of the room. And now we

1085
00:49:14,600 --> 00:49:17,560
Speaker 1: can parlay that into a head coaching job in the NFL.

1086
00:49:17,600 --> 00:49:19,759
Speaker 1: I'm just saying it's something I'm certain he's thinking about,

1087
00:49:19,840 --> 00:49:20,160
Speaker 1: that's all.

1088
00:49:20,239 --> 00:49:23,439
Speaker 4: He just feels like a guy who just knows what

1089
00:49:23,520 --> 00:49:26,120
Speaker 4: he likes and knows what he wants and knew this

1090
00:49:26,320 --> 00:49:28,840
Speaker 4: was coming right and now he's just like, yeah, I

1091
00:49:28,920 --> 00:49:31,200
Speaker 4: knew this was happening. I was a great coach back then.

1092
00:49:31,560 --> 00:49:33,359
Speaker 4: Now I'm the best, and I'd like to stay here.

1093
00:49:33,400 --> 00:49:37,040
Speaker 4: He gives off Jerry Sloan vibes like he washes his

1094
00:49:37,120 --> 00:49:39,080
Speaker 4: hair with a bar soap, bar soap.

1095
00:49:39,160 --> 00:49:41,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, what do you gotta tell him.

1096
00:49:41,520 --> 00:49:44,200
Speaker 7: If you told him in twenty eighteen, hey, seven years

1097
00:49:44,239 --> 00:49:46,839
Speaker 7: from now, you're gonna be a sixteen and oh team

1098
00:49:46,880 --> 00:49:49,879
Speaker 7: at Indiana, Kirk Signetti would have even laughed you out

1099
00:49:49,880 --> 00:49:50,239
Speaker 7: of the room.

1100
00:49:50,480 --> 00:49:53,000
Speaker 1: Well, that's what I'm saying, right Like, So the idea

1101
00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:55,680
Speaker 1: of him being an NFL head coach, right he parlaying

1102
00:49:55,719 --> 00:49:58,080
Speaker 1: all of this a six and five season at Elon

1103
00:49:58,560 --> 00:50:01,160
Speaker 1: into winning a national championship and then becoming an NFL

1104
00:50:01,200 --> 00:50:04,279
Speaker 1: head coach. It's something I listen, he has to be

1105
00:50:04,320 --> 00:50:06,640
Speaker 1: thinking about it. Now is not the right time. Perhaps

1106
00:50:06,719 --> 00:50:09,279
Speaker 1: when he's seventy four years old. I don't know what

1107
00:50:09,320 --> 00:50:09,480
Speaker 1: to do.

1108
00:50:09,719 --> 00:50:11,240
Speaker 3: I will forever.

1109
00:50:13,640 --> 00:50:17,480
Speaker 4: Say, excuse me, Kurt Signetti, Yes, yes, all right, So

1110
00:50:17,480 --> 00:50:19,920
Speaker 4: it happened a little hiccup there. Minus breathed in some

1111
00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:21,959
Speaker 4: of his microphone and it just made me choke. Okay,

1112
00:50:22,120 --> 00:50:25,000
Speaker 4: I'll always associate him with that meme where he's looking

1113
00:50:25,239 --> 00:50:27,719
Speaker 4: far to the right and then far to the last. I

1114
00:50:27,719 --> 00:50:30,360
Speaker 4: immediately think of that's just me every time when I

1115
00:50:30,400 --> 00:50:32,399
